Chapter 426: A Chance to Get Out of the City
Three days later.
For three days, Ding Qin stayed in the courtyard most of the time and did not go outside. On the one hand, after refining the Red Sky Meteorite, he did need a certain amount of time to rest and adjust, on the other hand, the entire Ice Canal City, he now knew about it well, after just completing the refining of the meteoric iron, if he went out more, he would only be afraid that Xiong Da and the others would think that he was intentionally going out of the city, and bring more attention.
In addition, the injured man, after taking the Human Brain Rejuvenation Pill, began to have obvious signs of recovery. This person's specific cultivation and ability are not clear, and Ding Qin doesn't want him to cause any harm here after he wakes up.
Near noon, Ding Qin walked around the courtyard. As soon as he arrived at a relatively secluded place, there was a soft sound, and another arrow shot accurately into the small tree in front of him.
This time, the arrow landed exactly the same as last time. On top of the shaft of the arrow, a piece of letter paper is also wrapped.
Ding Qin knew that even if he chased it, he might not be able to find the shadow of the messenger. So, he just looked around cautiously, then took the arrow and walked into the house.
Before he arrived at the door, he heard someone outside the door shouting, "Ding Gongzi." ”
When I turned around, it was Pang Shi. He had just walked through the door with two guards behind him.
How could he be present at this time?
Ding Qin was puzzled. But for the sake of safety, he first took the cover of his body, and gently wiped his hand on the Lingna stone belt, and put the arrow and letter into the belt.
After Master Pang came in, he stopped more than a meter away from Ding Qin and arched his hand gently, "Ding Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?"
Ding Qin nodded, "Fortunately, there were no accidents." ”
Master Pang asked again, "Is there anything suspicious in the courtyard, such as letters and papers?"
Ding Qin's brows furrowed slightly. Could it be that this guy is really prepared?
Or is that arrow the evidence they used to frame themselves?
He took a deep breath and asked rhetorically, "What exactly is the so-called letter paper?"
Master Pang said, "That's right. Last night, a large number of letters appeared in some places, with a lot of slanderous words written against our Ice Canal City. The city lord was afraid that these things would cause misunderstanding to the people, so he sent me to lead some people to clarify the facts and explain the situation everywhere. ”
Ding Qin shook his head and said, "We don't have this kind of thing here. Come to think of it, it may be that this place is heavily guarded, and those villains dare not approach. ”
Saying this, Ding Qin wanted to see what those letters, leaflets and the like were written. Sending this kind of thing at this time can only be someone who is hostile to Icecanal City. Sometimes, to grasp the situation, you need to listen to the opinions of both sides, even if they attack each other.
Pang Shi was relieved, "That's fine." In addition, there is one more thing that I have come here to do, which is also instructed by the city lord. ”
Ding Qin said, "The director will please." ”
Pang Shi smiled slightly embarrassedly, "This, I'm just afraid that Ding Gongzi will laugh at it." After refining the Red Sky Meteorite before, Childe also taught the method of building weapons. According to Childe, we also found materials with pure earth and pure wood properties. However, all the craftsmen in Ice Canal City have limited qualifications, and they have never been able to fuse materials, let alone create any weapons. The castle lord means that if Childe is free, he wants to guide him again. ”
Ding Qin sighed lightly and deliberately made a look of embarrassment and said, "I see. But when it comes to the Red Sky Meteorite, I also think of one thing. At that time, the lord of the city said that he would convene a high-level discussion about our departure from the city, but until now, he has not given me any answer. ”
The look of embarrassment on Pang Shi's face was even heavier, "This, Ding Gongzi, I don't hide it, I don't know much about the city lord's specific plans." However, the city lord said that if Childe was willing to help in building weapons, he would definitely give Childe a deadline to leave the city. ”
Ding Qin smiled slightly, "This is what the city lord said from his own mouth?"
Pang Shi immediately said, "Say it with your own mouth, say it with your own mouth." Maybe the city lord also knows that you will definitely ask about leaving the city, so before I come, I will explain it to you. ”
Ding Qin nodded, "Okay, then I'll go now." ”
Master Pang's expression immediately relaxed a lot, "Okay, the city lord is waiting in the smelting room now." ”
Ding Qin looked back, went to Mo Hafei's house and briefly explained a few words, and then followed Master Pang and entered the guest courtyard of the Southern Council again.
The lineup in the smelting room is the same as last time. Xiong Da held the Red Sky Meteorite in his own hand, followed by several high-level officials of Ice Canal City, and then a group of embarrassed craftsmen.
As soon as Ding Qin entered, Xiong Da greeted him and said, "Ding Gongzi, you are here." It seems that without a master, my Ice Canal City will not be able to control this Red Sky Meteorite. ”
Ding Qin was not polite at all, and smiled lightly, "I thought that the city lord came specifically for us to go out of the city, but I didn't expect that the Red Sky Meteorite was in front." ”
Xiong Dahaha laughed, "Ding Gongzi is joking. I know you want to go out of the city, but you are going north, and we also want to ensure your safety, right? Of course, since Childe has repeatedly asked for it, we will naturally consider it. It's just that now we have a request for Childe, and we hope that Childe will help him again. ”
When he came, Pang Shi said that Xiong Da would make a deadline commitment to go out of the city, but Xiong Da's words were obviously stirring eggplants in a thin gourd, which made Ding Qin unhappy. He glanced at the Red Sky Meteorite, and his tone was a little cold and stiff, "The city lord may have also heard that everything is about fate. If this Red Sky Meteorite can't be used, it may be that fate has not arrived. ”
Xiong Da saw Ding Qin's psychology, but he still smiled and didn't understand, "What Ding Gongzi said, of course I know." However, fate is also divided into fate and popularity, and now in terms of fate, there is the Red Sky Meteorite, the earthy Nine Turns Yellowstone, and the woody cloud and mist black cypress;
Ding Qin smiled coldly, "Hmph." This popularity also has to be cultivated. If you can't even treat each other with sincerity, where will fate come from?"
Xiong Dahaha laughed. After laughing, he patted Ding Qin's shoulder, "Okay, what a young man." Not only is he well-informed and has unique skills, but he also has such an understanding of Zen theory. I promise you today in front of everyone that I will definitely let you out of the city before the fifteenth of the next month. How?"
Ding Qin has calculated on the fifteenth day of next month, and there are still more than 20 days to go.
Of course, he knew that it would be nice to have a deadline. Still, he tentatively asked, "Can't it be any more advanced?"
Xiong Da shook his head solemnly, "Brother, it's really not good." It's a mess out there right now. Even if I leave the city on the fifteenth of next month, I'm afraid that I will send a guard to escort me. That's the limit of what I can do. ”
Ding Qin took a deep breath and nodded, "Since that's the case, then I'll thank the city lord first." I don't know what weapon the city lord wants to make with the Red Sky Meteorite?"
An indescribable smile similar to a weird one appeared on Xiong Da's face, "This, in fact, are two." I and the deputy city lord of the chronicle, one for each person. In other words, it is our Xiong family and the Ji family, one each. If such a treasure is only handed over to one family, I am afraid that the whole city will not agree. ”
Ding Qin roughly estimated, "Well, it's really enough to make two pieces." ”
Xiong Dadao, "I'm good at close attacks, and if possible, I want to use the combination of Red Sky Meteorite and Nine Turns Yellowstone to create a pair of fist gloves." And the deputy city lord of the Ji is good at using spears, and wants to combine the Red Sky Meteorite with Cloud and Mist Wubai to make a spear. ”
Ding Qin didn't answer immediately, but walked to the Nine Turns Yellowstone and Cloud Fog Black Cypress, and after checking the two materials, he said, "Well, this Nine Turns Yellowstone and Cloud Mist Black Cypress are indeed superior. It's just that if you want to combine with the Red Sky Meteorite, you have to further remove impurities. Therefore, it will take some time to complete the two weapons. ”
Xiong Da was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, it doesn't matter if it's a long time." Ah, by the way, if it is beyond the fifteenth of next month, you can also go out of the city without restrictions!"
Ding Qin smiled lightly, "That's not true." I think 10 days should be enough. I'm not prepared enough for today, so it's not good to start work for the time being, and if the city lord doesn't mind, I'll start tomorrow. ”
Xiong Da couldn't say a word, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes!" I hope Ding Gongzi will not mind my craftsman visiting and studying." ”
Ding Qin looked at the craftsmen, "This is okay. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. ”
Xiong Da immediately sent Pang Shi to send Ding Qin away. Walking out of the South Courtyard, Ding Qin did not let Master Pang follow again, but walked back alone.
Actually, it doesn't take him a day to prepare. He chose this time to go back, mainly to see what was written on the letter paper on the arrow.
If it is written on the arrow that you can't make weapons, you must find a way to find a suitable reason to delay the time for making weapons in case something really happens.
After returning to the house, Ding Qin took out the arrow and unfolded the letterhead.
The font on the letterhead is exactly the same as the last time. The specific content is that on the thirtieth of this month, I am ready to go out of the city.
Ready to get out of town?
This made Ding Qin stunned.
What does that mean, on the thirtieth day, your own team can go out of the city, or can the wounded person go out of the city?
Moreover, out of the city, how to get out of the city? Or just send a wounded person out, Ding Qin can do it. But what about the whole team?
Besides, out of the city, where to go?
For a while, Ding Qin felt that this letter was a little confused.
However, he was very glad that the so-called day out of the city was after he had planned to make weapons, before the fifteenth day of the next month promised by Xiong Da.
In this way, he still has a lot of room for manoeuvre.
Just as he was about to destroy the letter and arrows, there was a knock on the door outside, and Cheng Ying came.
Ding Qin didn't avoid her this time, and took the arrow in his hand. Unexpectedly, when she saw this arrow and letter paper, Cheng Ying's face changed, "You, you also received this thing?"
Ding Qin was slightly surprised. In other words, Cheng Ying also received it.
Sure enough, Cheng Ying took out a piece of letter paper of the same material from inside her clothes.
