Chapter Forty-Eight—Surprise

It's all because of Chen Lifa's words: That second-order tattooed soldier must be a play cast by the master!

Guru!

Why was the Chen family able to become the leader of the forging realm in the southern city now? It was because they had a master in charge! Even in the entire south, masters were not so common, and even in other cities, it was very rare for a master to appear, let alone a grandmaster. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

And relying on the name of Master Chen Lifa, it has also attracted countless forging masters.

This is like a virtuous circle, constantly pushing the Chen family to the peak.

As long as Chen Lifa is still alive one day, the Chen family will continue to prosper, and even another master will appear in the future!

And it is said that now, his son Chen Aotian has begun to ask his father Chen Lifa for the art of forging, and Chen Lifa also said that Chen Aotian has a talent for forging.

Everything is going in a good direction.

But!

The second master who appeared in Nancheng must be someone from their Chen family!

Otherwise, the resources of Zhinancheng would not have fallen on their Chen family like this, but would have been dispersed. Therefore, Chen Tie immediately ordered Chen Qing to investigate Xu Yan, and as a result, his eyes fell on the Divine Soldier Qiao family.

He also heard a little about this family that had been in decline for hundreds of years.

Hundreds of years ago, the Qiao family was one of the founding families that established the southern city. But hundreds of years have passed, and the children of the Qiao family have not been replaced, and there is no Qiao family who can inherit their craftsmanship.

Therefore, it has been declining continuously, until now the name of the Divine Soldier Qiao family is like a joke.

Looking at the old and cobweb-covered armory shop, people just laughed at it as they passed by.

Guru...... Will it be the Joe family?

Chen Tie opened his mouth and asked, "Have you determined Xu Yan's family, must there be no mysterious background behind it?" Hearing this, Chen Qing slowly shook his head: "Xu Yan grew up in a small village not far from Zhinancheng, and I have already sent someone to inquire and confirm that it is correct. Xu Yan's father was just a doctor in the village, and although he was a skilled doctor, it was nothing more. More than a month ago, Xu Yan's father left the village and disappeared without a trace. 」

"Hmm......" Chen Tie thought silently, he subconsciously wanted to reconfirm the information, "You said that on that day, how much did that second-order tattooed soldier [Falling Star Stick] sell?"

Chen Qing also swallowed his saliva and smiled bitterly: "Fifty thousand taels, far beyond expectations. And the competition is quite fierce, and there are obviously many people who know the goods. The head of the family, you must know that for ordinary second-order tattooed soldiers, 10,000 taels is the public price, even if it is slightly outstanding, it will not reach 20,000 taels. 」

"Even according to the report of our spies in Zhinancheng, after the auction that day, some tattooers kept trying to find the tattooer who had bought the falling star stick, and wanted to eat black and snatch the falling star stick. But the man sank like a stone into the sea, and disappeared. 」

Chen Qing's face was a little ugly: "Family master, fifty thousand taels, this is just a second-order tattoo soldier. If he is a real master, the destructive power he will cause in the future ...... It hurts our Chen family a lot!"

Chen Tie was silent for a moment, then asked again, "What did my father say?"

The father in his mouth is naturally Chen Lifa.

Chen Qing replied, "The old master said that this is normal, and that weapon and sword are off the edge. Although it is a dexterous club-type weapon, it is very suitable for those with a wide range of fighting styles. If there is a suitable tattoo, even if you buy it with 100,000 taels, it is not surprising. And...... The old master will certainly not agree with any of our decisions in the future. 」

Chen Tie nodded.

In Bingjie, or in the forging industry to the south of the city, the Chen family has already counted as a word. It stands to reason that there will be no other stores. But that's why Chen Lifa is here.

Among them, there are still weapons shops, and some of them are because their parents or grandparents have a relationship with Chen Lifa, so they left their shops, and even occasionally helped them. It can be said that they are all opponents raised by the Chen family.

As for the Qiao family, because there was once a legendary divine master, the respect for the ancestors was also retained.

If Chen Tie and the others wanted to make any moves against the Qiao family, they would definitely be unhappy if Chen Lifa knew about it.

Although Chen Tie is now the head of the family, everyone knows that if Chen Lifa speaks, he is still the one in charge in secret.

"Qiao Zhigang...... Unlikely to be a master. I have already inquired about him a long time ago, although he has some talent in forging, but he lacks the guidance of a famous teacher. After a lifetime of study, being able to forge a second-order pattern soldier is already the limit. Chen Tie groaned, his fingers subconsciously touching the teacup: "Instead, I think we should focus on that young man. 」

"Ever since that young man appeared in Qiao's house, a second-order tattoo has appeared. It's ridiculous, but I think there's something to do with it. 」

Chen Qing didn't speak, just bowed down and waited for Chen Tie's order.

"In this case, send someone to talk to Qiao Zhigang. In the name of expansion, my Chen family bought his shop for 100,000 taels. In addition, if he is willing, my Chen family will also recruit him into the ranks of our Chen family's forging masters and be regarded as an elder. 」

Chen Qing clapped his palms when he heard this: "Good idea! This will not make the old master unhappy, if Qiao Zhigang is really regarded as an elder, we will definitely see the process of his forging; if we take 10,000 steps back, even if Qiao Zhigang does not know the times and refuses to become an elder, we will lose a big enemy." 」

"Well......" Chen Tie still frowned, "I'm just afraid that he won't agree to sell the store." To Nancheng Bing Street, it is the place where the Qiao family started and fell. For the children of the Qiao family, it has an indescribable significance......

Chen Qing smiled slightly, but there was a little coldness in his smile. He is the housekeeper of the Chen family, and he will do it whether it is dirty or clean. Everything is only for the sake of the Chen family's interests: "If he is so ignorant, he has to blame us for being unscrupulous. If the old family owner blames it, Chen Qing will bear it. 」

Chen Tie glanced at Chen Qing deeply: "Our Chen family has your father and son as housekeepers, which is indeed a blessing. 」

Chen Qing bowed slightly: "The head of the family is polite. 」

............

It's still night.

To be precise, I don't know how many dark nights have passed.

Lan Ming was taken by Jin Xing as a bit of a walking corpse, and the picture in front of him kept jumping frames.

At this moment, the mountains and rivers are still beautiful, walking in the forest, and the next moment is already walking on the plain.

After all, she still studied tattooing for four years, and she still knew that this was probably Jin Xing's tattoo technique.

Whenever he disappeared with himself, Lan Ming was still sensitive to the fact that there was an imperceptible flow of light between Jin Xing's boots.

In Jin Xing, who was so powerful, the pattern technique like an instantaneous transfer was constantly cast, and the two of them walked extremely fast all the way. It's just that what makes Lan Ming sad is that she is getting farther and farther away from Brother Xu. Mother's body, she once saw it through Jin Xing. At that time, she immediately fainted.

Xu Yan changed from the only two people in her heart to the only one.

She was only ten years old, and for Xu Yan, she was really like facing a biological brother, and this separation was too painful for her.

Lan Mingjing looked at the fire in a daze, his slender fingers unconsciously rubbing against the outer layer of the box. Suddenly, she wanted to see what was inside.

She didn't forget that on the day before leaving, Brother Xu said that he would surprise her.

She looked at the box in her arms, this is the surprise?
