Chapter 168: Enlightenment
"You don't have to force it, you can't think of it, you can see it through. Childe, pleaseβ" Win Tiandang said with a bowed hand.
"Your Highness, please__" Lin Yun also arched his hand and said.
"Haha...... Cao Da, let's go!" After speaking, he continued to ride his horse slowly.
Lin Yun didn't bother him anymore, and continued to walk east. The snow was still heavy, and the cold snowflakes hit the face with a slight coolness......
Back at the Tielan Inn, Lin Yun wrote a letter to Zilu: The eldest brother is above, the younger brother has arrived in Qinyang City, and now lives in the Tielan Inn on Blacksmith Street, everything is fine, please don't worry, Chu Qin's matter has no clue for the time being, and the eldest brother will be informed in time when there is news, please ask Huo Niu, Jasmine, and Xiaohanzi How are they. The eldest brother should take care of himself all the way north, don't go into details, the younger brother Tianheng paused.
The wind and snow still haven't stopped, watching Xiaomei flutter her wings and fly away in the wind and snow, Lin Yun is full of emotion in his heart, in the past few months, his life has changed, so that he himself can't believe it. If it weren't for this big brother's care, maybe he would have been gone. "Big brother, you must take good care. The second brother misses you very much.
Fire girl, Jasmine and little man's dung heap manger, you also have to take good care, the slaughterhouse also misses you. Lin Yun muttered silently in his heart.
"Ruoshui, go back to the house and rest, let's go see Chu Yimad later." β
"Is the second slaughter cabinet really allowed to go to that Senluo Arena?"
"Yes!"
"This may be the only way to find the Chu Qin Clan. β
"Since the second shopkeeper has decided, Ruoshui will accompany you. β
"Okay, if I die in the Senluo Arena, there will be Ruoshui to collect the body for me. Lin Yun teased.
"Please take back this sentence from the second shopkeeper, if you want to die, let Ruoshui die first. Ruoshui said solemnly.
"Okay, okay, okay! Without saying a discouraged word, I take back what I just said. Lin Yun looked at Ruoshui with a serious face, and was busy saying good things to make a round.
"Ruoshui thanked the second shopkeeper. β
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for taking that back. β
Lin Yun listened to the black line on his face, do you want to thank you too? This little chubby girl, sometimes I really can't understand.
"Huh, okay, ????"
I couldn't talk anymore this day, Lin Yun suddenly remembered the silver bottle, although this demon girl was hateful, but it was still quite fun to quarrel with her.
After breaking up with Lin Yun, Win Tiandang took the Black Eagle Hu Cong to Qin Ermad's shop, got off the horse, and walked straight in, it seemed that he was very familiar with this place, passed through the lobby in front of him that displayed various weapons, and went straight to the backyard, where the Qin family's servants ran in front to inform Qin Ermad.
"With such a big snowstorm today, Your Highness has something to ask about in the future, why bother to make a trip in person?" Qin Ermad appeared in front of Win Tiandang without the slightest drunkenness, and said respectfully.
"The order of the monarch's father, I dare not slack off. Win Tiandang said.
"Your Highness, please!" let's go into the room and talk slowly. β
Win Tiandang was welcomed into the house by Qin Ermad, and Qin Er Madness invited Win Tiandang to sit on the main seat and sit on the guest seat himself.
The layout of the room is very rough, the screen is iron, even the case is also made of iron, not winter, it is estimated that even the couch Qin Ermad may be replaced by iron, there is a large pot of charcoal fire in the center of the house, and the house does not look cold.
The maidservants served hot tea, and Sheng Tiandang took a sip of hot tea and said: "Qin Ermad, I just came from Chu Yimad, you two are really troublesome, you can't meet to discuss matters, the same thing, I have to run twice with my son." β
"It's all Qin's fault, it's caused trouble to His Highness! Qin will definitely come to the door another day to apologize. β
"There is no need to apologize, whether there is a problem with Beimang's order, you tell the truth to my son. β
"Your Highness, there is indeed a small problem.
"What's the problem?" asked Win Tiandang nervously.
"The iron ore that came this time has too many impurities and insufficient purity, and it is much more difficult to smelt the raw blank, but I have already sent more manpower, and I believe that it can still be completed in a hurry. β
"Qin Ermad, this prince is most afraid of rushing in your mouth, you know, every time you say this rush, this prince can't sleep when he goes back. Can you get a letter?"
"You can give it to the letter, Your Highness, you also know, eh, this ......" Qin Er said wildly.
"Qin Ermad, you drama spirit started to perform again, and others thought that your second madness was a hammer maniac and a drunken maniac. Only a few people know that your drunkardy is in vain, and the real second madness is the drama maniac. β
"Your Highness is aware of everything, how dare Qin Ermad act in front of His Highness, please rest assured, Your Highness will overcome all difficulties and deliver the goods on time. β
"This is about the same, don't worry, when the time comes, you will deliver the goods on time, and my son will definitely ask the monarch to ask the two of you to take credit, and the reward will be indispensable for the two of you." "I take the liberty of asking Your Highness, can Chu Yiyan deliver the goods on time?"
"Chu Yimad has always been steady, and it is natural for this prince to worry a lot more than you, but ......"
"But what?"
"But he has the same problem as you, and he has a new problem. β
"He has eight hammer masters who lost money in the Senluo Arena, and they had no money to repay the debt, so they were deducted by the Sen Luowei in the arena, and asked Chu Yimad to take the money to ransom people, but the money is not much, only more than 10,000 taels of silver, but Chu Yimad is worried that it will set a precedent, and the people behind him will follow suit, so it will be difficult to manage. β
"So, Your Highness is here to help him borrow a hammer master from me, right?"
"Boss Qin is just smart, and he can understand it at all. β
"Don't borrow!"
"Must borrow!"
"Why can't you hand over the goods, you can pull him out and cut him down, why do you have to worry about him for this idleness. β
"Qin Ermad, if you can't deliver the goods this time, it's not as simple as pulling one or two people out to kill your head. He can't hand over the goods, and he may be implicated with you. β
"Your Highness's meaning is not to borrow, you can't do it!"
"Yes!"
Qin Erfang hesitated for a long time, and said aggrievedly: "Okay!"
"You call someone now, and I'll take it away and send it over to Chu Yifang. β
"Your Highness, don't worry, I promise to send Chu Yimad over. β
"You don't come to this set, I only believe in your words now, I asked you to give him a drawing last time, and I didn't send it for half a month, not for me to ask, it is estimated that Chu Yimad will never want to see that drawing in his life." β
"It seems that my image in the mind of His Highness is ruined. β
"You brought it on yourself. β
"Okay! I'm going to send someone to the ground to call someone, why are you so troublesome? I'll just give it to him underground. β
"You better bring it with you! This son sent it over by himself, and I didn't sleep until I went back. β
"I'm finished! β
"Don't fuck here, you're weird, hurry up and call someone. Ying Tiandang scolded with a smile.
"Yes, yes! Yes, go right away!__ Qin Fu, go down and call the eight third-grade hammer masters to come up.
"I want a second grade.
"What?
"It's a second grade, if there is a third grade, I will deduct a thousand taels of silver from you, and you can do it yourself. β
Qin Ermad faced such an uncle, what else could he say, "Okay, eight second-grade hammer masters-go and come back quickly." "Yes, Master. Steward Qin Fu took the order and trotted away.
"Your Highness, this Senluo Arena has become more and more publicized in the past two years, and the Lord of the Kingdom has not said anything about taking care of it?" Qin Ermad asked respectfully.
"Senluo Arena is a historical problem, five hundred years ago, the ancestor gave him this underground palace, the ancestor made a covenant with him, he has the final say in the underground palace, this covenant is one of the national policies of the country, no one can move. β
"Our hammer masters and quenchers, who make some money, have lost in the arena, and we are also anxious to watch. β
"In this matter, you still have to strengthen your own education, the underground palace has been used for you for free for so many years, and you have not given rent, so it is not too much to lose some money to others.
What's more......" Win Tiandang said this, paused, and looked at Qin Ermad with his eyes.
Qin Ermad didn't answer, just waited quietly, and Win Tiandang looked into his eyes and continued: "What's more, your Chu family and the Qin family are not all the credit of others today, your hammer and eighteen tremors and Chu Yimad's quenching nine flashes were not invented by your ancestors, they were passed down to your ancestors, Qin Ermad, think more about others."
Good. β
"Yes, yes, Yes, His Highness is taught. I was also anxious for a while, I was the one who saw Chu Yimad deducted in the arena, in fact, although my people were not deducted, but the money was not lost. Qin Ermad said with a guilty face. It's just that how true or false this shame is, only Qin Ermad himself knows.
"The matter of the Senluo Arena will not be mentioned again in the future, so as not to touch the rebellion of the lord of the country, for so many years, all those who have proposed to rectify the Senluo Arena have not been able to sit in a stable position. Winning the sky said.
"I know it below. β
The two of them gossiped a little more, Qin Fu had already brought people over, and Win Tiandang also immediately said goodbye and took people away to give Chu Yimad away.
At the end of the day, the wind stopped, the snow stopped, and the snow on the ground was at least half a foot thick.
Lin Yun and Ruoshui, who was disguised as a man, breathed the fresh air after the snow, stepped on the thick snow, and came to the first blacksmith shop in the east.
It was just night, and the shops were already closed.
Lin Yun stood at the door of the shop, and saw two lifelike tall halberd armor soldiers standing on the left and right sides of the door, which were actually cast of pure iron, which made Lin Yun secretly startled. This Su country is really rich in iron ore, and these two iron men alone can make tens of thousands of three-edged feather arrows, however, this huge pure iron halberd armor is only placed at the door of a blacksmith shop to use it for the town, which is really a tyrannical thing.
Lin Yun flashed this thought, took a few steps forward, buckled the door knocker a few times, squeaked, and a guy came out with a deep head, and said angrily: "I don't know it's closed?"
"This little brother, in Xia Linyun, was invited to visit Master Chu Yimad Chu. Lin Yun was not annoyed, and said politely.
"Lin Gongzi, haha~ Please come in!" The guy immediately changed his face, obviously Master Chu had an explanation for him.
The guy hurriedly opened the door of the shop, Lin Yun entered the lobby of the shop, there were various weapons samples of knives, forks, swords and halberds in the lobby, the lights were dim, and these cold guys created an eerie atmosphere in the lobby.
"Young Master Lin, please come with me. "The men are all clear-eyed people, and the person whom the head of the house specially ordered him to wait so late must be the guest of the head of the house, and if a business runs away because of his negligence, then he can't afford to bear it.
As the man passed through the two courtyards, he came to the third courtyard, where a rickety old man with a sickly face and a sheepskin jacket was admiring the snow in the courtyard. I only heard the old man sigh and groan: "The night of the chaotic mountains and the remnants of the snow, the lonely candle stranger." β
"Master, the guest you were waiting for has arrived. The man waited for the old man to finish reciting the poem and said respectfully.
"Go down!" commanded the old man.
"Yes!" the man turned and stepped back.
"Lin Gongzi, think about it!
"You've figured it out!"
"Follow me!" After speaking, the old man turned around and entered the house, and Lin Yun and Ruoshui followed.
Entering the house, the old man came to a pillar against the wall, there were seven protruding iron digs on the pillar, very bright, the old man clicked seven times, it seemed to be the seven-star footwork, Lin Yun knew that this was the movement of the seven-star footwork as a password mechanism.
Sure enough, as the old man's movements were completed, a secret door slowly opened, and a staircase that extended downward with no end in sight appeared in front of Lin Yun and Ruoshui, and a string of not-so-bright ever-bright lanterns hung on the stone walls on both sides of the steps.
