Chapter 41: The Order of Peace
Located in Xicheng District, where the people of Huangsha County live, Feng's blacksmith shop in a small alley on the side street, the sound of "clanging" from it seems to have never been interrupted all year round.
After getting the news of Gu Xuan's return that day, Feng Tiesheng did not go over to join in the fun, but silently left the county government mansion alone and returned to his own blacksmith shop, thinking that since he had exposed his strength, there would naturally be no less trouble after that, but he thought that he had promised to build weapons and armor for the soldiers in the city, and after weighing it again, he finally chose to stay for the time being, but he had already made up his mind in his heart that he would never make another move.
Since the other party has such ability, but has never taken the initiative to expose it to outsiders, it means that the other party is not a person who likes to swagger, and it must be because of some unspeakable reasons, so he does not want to join the court in exchange for fame and fortune, so out of respect for the other party's thoughts, Gu Xuan did not notify too many people this time, so he only brought Lu Yi, who had a certain relationship with Feng Blacksmith, to accompany him, and after the two left the county government, they came to the door of the blacksmith shop together, and then stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
"Knock knock!"
Knock on the door three times, this is the customary rule, neither too light, not too heavy.
In the spacious courtyard of the house, by the burning stove, father and son are all there today.
Feng Da and Feng Er, two young students, after hearing the movement at the door, the guys in their hands still did not stop, one looked at the fire in the stove, while pumping the bellows vigorously, and the other smashed the hammer in his hand, and the embryo in his hand splashed and sunk deeply, seeing that they were doing it in full swing, and even the temperature in the room was constantly rising.
Before the embryo is formed, the fire can not be stopped, the hammer can not be broken, and the hammer can not be stopped, until it is flawless, and it can only be stopped, if it can't help but stop suddenly, then what was done before will all become useless, not only everything has to start all over again, but this material will be destroyed.
The two have been taught by their father since they were children, they can't be impetuous, they have to calm down and do things, and they can't stop before things are done, even if they are tired by the fireside, they can't let go and rest for a while, so whenever outsiders come to knock on the door to visit, most of the three of them will not pay attention to it, in addition to their own personality is more withdrawn and not good at words, there is also this reason.
But he never thought that this time, the father who had always required the two of them with such strict rules, but after hearing the knock on the door, his expression changed, and he suddenly put down the matter at hand, and turned to the two of them and said, "Go into the house." ”
The two young men were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other again, and then looked at the serious expression on the face of the father next to them, knowing that it was a big matter, they didn't ask a word very obediently, just silently put down the hammer and mold in their hands, and the two brothers grabbed a dirty towel, wiped the sweat on their heads casually, and then walked directly into the house.
After the two children had entered the house and even the door was closed, Feng Tiesheng went up, squatted on a hardwood bench in the middle of the courtyard, and said in a salty voice: "Come in." ”
Gu Xuan, who was outside the door, heard the sound coming from inside the house, quickly stretched out his hand to push the door open, and then walked quickly to the courtyard with Lu Yi.
This time, there was no such thing as the first time they met, and Gu Xuan even took the initiative to go up and salute: "Mr. Feng!"
Feng Tiesheng squatted quietly on the stool, and when he saw the two of them walking in, he didn't even get up, but just raised his head and said lightly to the two: "I made a move before, just to repay Lord Lu's kindness, and now I have cleared up with the yamen." ”
Feng Tiesheng's eldest son Feng Da was involved in a murder case because the woman who had an affair with someone deliberately planted a false accusation, and in that case, whether it was human evidence or physical evidence, it was extremely unfavorable to Feng Da, and he himself was not good at words, so he couldn't explain it clearly.
Fortunately, Lu Yi tried the case, discerned everything, and judged impartially, so he was able to return his innocence, although with Feng Tiesheng's ability, even if he took the child directly out of the yamen, but in this way, it is equivalent to becoming a fugitive, and he will inevitably be wanted by Liangguo, and he will never come back, even if he reads this kindness, he will take action when the masters of the horse bandits joined forces to attack the county yafu at night that night, and saved Lu Yi and the Ma family brothers in one fell swoop.
When Gu Xuan heard this, he shook his head lightly, and said earnestly: "It's different, Mr. Feng's son's case is not his fault, and our yamen is just acting impartially, as it should be, it is not a kindness, but Mr. Feng was able to act righteously and save three lives in times of crisis, this is an indisputable fact, speaking of which, it can be regarded as the yamen's debt to Mr. Feng." ”
Feng Tiesheng put his hands on his knees, but his eyes glanced away, and he said casually: "Whatever you want." ”
When Gu Xuan met for the first time, he wanted to give him the position of a workshop warden and summon him to serve in the yamen, but he was politely rejected at that time, and now that he thinks about it, he couldn't even see the depth of this person at that time, and his martial arts must have been transcendent.
This kind of talent, how can you miss it?
Gu Xuan thought about it, and finally said with a sincere tone: "Mr. Feng is a person who understands, and he will no longer go around in Xia, Huangsha County is now in ruins, and it is the time to employ people, and I hope that Mr. Feng can go out of the mountain and help us." ”
Feng Tiesheng looked at him coldly, and said with a straight face: "I promised to cast weapons for the Yamen, and I will never break my promise, as for other things, I really can't help it, so please go back." ”
Gu Xuan invited sincerely: "If it is a time of peace, what Mr. Feng wants to do, it is your freedom, although Xuan is embarrassed to trouble Mr. Feng more, but Huangsha County is now the time to lack people, I sincerely hope that Mr. Feng can go out of the mountain to help us, even if it is to beg Mr. Feng." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward directly, clenched his fists and bowed his head, and fell to the ground on one knee.
It is said that the man has gold under his knees, and he Gu Xuan is the prince of a country, the nominal king of Hedong County, and his knees are naturally more weighty.
Fortunately, he is not the kind of third and fourth who can't give up, it can be seen from the fact that he can call a foreigner like Lao Huo a brother and sister, he is an informal person from the bones, after going through so many things, he even dares to appoint a rotten person like Black Narcissus, and now he wants to ask Feng Tiesheng to help, so he is naturally willing to give up the gold under his knees.
This Feng Tiesheng is worthy of his knees, I just hope that the other party can see his face and be able to help him.
Feng Tiesheng saw this scene, the whole person was stunned, he really didn't expect that this young man would do this, he was not stupid, of course he knew the identity of the other party, so he was so surprised, but after walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, he saw a lot of sinister people, so he couldn't help but think about the worst, and felt that this was a scheming person, the more he looked at it, the more he disliked it.
Seeing this, Lu Yi hurriedly wanted to step forward to help Gu Xuan up, and shouted softly: "Lord Wang, don't do it!"
Gu Xuan didn't care about it, he still knelt on the ground, clenched his fists and said loudly: "Please also ask Mr. Feng to help!"
Feng Tiesheng slowly stood up from the bench, put his hands behind his back, turned his back, didn't look at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Helping you once before, it can be regarded as breaking the ancestral family law, what else do you want me to do?"
Lu Yi held Gu Xuan with both hands, looked at Feng Tiesheng's back and said loudly: "The destruction of the Feng family is not the fault of the prince, nor the fault of the imperial court, the unification of the south is the trend of the times, before the people were displaced, the lives were ruined, and the people were not able to make a living, but now it is many times better than before, this kind of feat, the benefit is in the future, Brother Feng should be blinded by this little hatred?"
When Feng Tiesheng heard this, he turned his head suddenly, looked at the two people opposite him with an unkind face, and asked in a deep voice, "How do you know this?"
His martial arts are extremely high, almost to the point of being superb, at this moment his face is angry, and the spirit of his whole body is subconsciously mobilized, this shouting and questioning, as if the gods are angry, ordinary people are afraid that they will be frightened and collapse to the ground just by looking at his two scorching eyes.
Lu Yi was not afraid of this, but explained calmly: "It is not difficult to guess that you can have such ability, but you are unwilling to devote yourself to serving the imperial court, and you have been incognito at the border for more than ten years, and your surname is Feng." ”
Gu Xuan also raised his head at this time, with a blank look on his face, because he didn't understand what kind of dumb riddle these two people were talking about, it seemed to be about Mr. Feng's life experience?
After Feng Tiesheng heard this answer, he sighed heavily, turned his head again, turned his back to the two of them and sighed: "Alas, since you know all these past events, you should understand what I mean, just because I know the merits of the imperial court, I didn't choose revenge, isn't that enough?"
Lu Yi knew that the prince was bound to win this person, so he immediately continued to go up and persuade him: "After Ling Zun Immortal passed away, all the past should be revealed, the enemies of the Feng family have all gone to immortals, Brother Feng's ability, is it here?"
Feng Tiesheng listened, his whole body was shocked, he lowered his head with his back to the two, looked at the thick calluses on his hands, and said with sincere emotion: "No matter how hard the fists are, they can't be hard as knives, no matter how fast the legs and feet are, they can't be as fast as arrows, the Feng family is just too few people who understand this truth, and this is the disaster of annihilation. ”
His ability, even his two own sons did not teach a penny, is because he has no interest in martial arts, the older he gets, the more he sees some things, in his opinion, people are because of the strength, will have a desire, and finally end up a tragic death, it is also cause and effect, if the father was completely useless back then, he would not have thought of going to the palace to assassinate it, if everyone has no strength, how can there be chaos and murder?
Gu Xuan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know what the two of you are talking about, but at this time, there are thousands of unarmed people standing behind them, and we who practice martial arts don't stand up, do we want to watch them being killed?"
Feng Tiesheng just looked up at the sky and was silent.
He never left, because he had feelings for the city.
Lu Yi stepped forward again and persuaded him: "As long as the war in the south subsides and the people live and work in peace and contentment, there will be no more tragedy of the Feng family, the Feng family back then, it was because they cared too much about the gains and losses of the family and the interests of the individual, that there would be this result, don't you know, the real chivalrous warrior should take the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility, since Brother Feng has this strength and has not worked and rested, why not give it a try?"
Gu Xuan continued to follow up while it was hot: "I don't want Mr. Feng to do much, just wait for things, whether Mr. Feng starts a sect or anything else, as long as I Gu Xuan can help, I will do my best for Mr." ”
Feng Tiesheng was very entangled in his heart, the Feng family back then was involved in the dispute between the two countries, which led to the destruction of the family, a generation of Nandi grandmaster families, but was crushed to death by 100,000 iron hooves, and his father, also because he could not enter the palace to assassinate, caused himself to die on the spot, but now he wants him to help the prince of Liangguo, how can this be?
If he did, what kind of face would he have to see his father after he died?
Thinking of this, he sighed heavily, waved his hand, and said in a rather tired tone: "You better go back, I have no interest in opening a sect or anything, thanks to the prince's appreciation, I will definitely do my best to create a batch of weapons and armor for the prince, I just hope that the prince will not bother me because of this matter in the future." ”
