"Uncle, the alum oil can be used vigorously, we are not short of money, we must solve Ming Hong today!"

It was already evening when he returned to Tumu Fort, and early the next morning, Chai Tiannuo went straight to the blacksmith shop, slapped Ming Hong on the table, and said very heroically.

"How, got rich?"

"That's it, look at what this is, the Dahua silver ticket of the Eight Classics, a full four thousand taels!"

Chai Tiannuo slapped the silver ticket on the table with a show, and the old blacksmith gasped:

"You make money too fast, if it weren't for the age difference, I really want to marry my granddaughter to you!"

Hahaha, Chai Tiannuo laughed directly, the young Jin Duo said that he was himself, a proper golden beetle son-in-law.

"How old is your granddaughter, why don't you meet?"

"Pull it down, she's not yet a month old, and when she grows up, you'll already be a loofah!"

“......”

This old strongman is purely playing tricks on himself!

The old blacksmith took out the porcelain vase and poured alum oil along the curve of the blade, and with a sneering sound, a large thick fog rose, and the smell of burnt fire was everywhere.

Chai Tiannuo bought a pair of baked cakes, and looked at the blade that was revealing more and more with excitement.

At noon, the old blacksmith gently took Ming Hong out of the residue and liquid stains, scrubbed it in clean water, and the moment he lifted the knife, the dazzling light burst out, like a golden crow falling to the ground, and everyone in the market covered their eyes.

"Boy, you've got an amazing baby!"

When the light faded, the old blacksmith looked at a clear spring-like Ming Hong and sighed with emotion.

The knife is five feet long, the edge is like a naked body such as a clear spring, two red marks are like a pond of lotus flowers, the golden dragon and silver phoenix are engraved on both sides of the tip of the knife, the technique is delicate, and it is not vulgar.

"Take it well, such a heavy treasure, you must treat it as a second life, things have spirits, and you can understand the gods."

Chai Tiannuo nodded, took Ming Hong, and his face bloomed with happiness.

Minghong's system is similar to that of Daheng, but it is longer, and the knife style is very concise.

But the blade of the knife is extremely finely made, and it doesn't feel like a sharp blade that eats flesh and drinks blood in your hand, but like a handicraft.

"Thank you, uncle, these days, I'm really bothering you."

Chai Tiannuo thanked him, and the old blacksmith waved his hand:

"A good knife with a good sheath, I have to say that you are lucky, I have a piece of gloomy ebony in my hand that has been sitting for a long time, and the length is enough, which is just cheap for you."

The old blacksmith tugged around the wooden box for a while, and finally took out a jet-black object nearly five feet long, which did not look like wood, but had a jade-like feeling.

"Aromatic?"

Chai Tiannuo raised his eyebrows, and the old blacksmith said proudly:

"This wood is also called agarwood, worn on the body, mosquitoes do not bite snakes and rats are not close, it is definitely a treasure!"

As the sun was about to set, Chai Tiannuo carried Ming Hong on his back, carrying a newly made armor-piercing cone to his home, with an expression of joy and heartache on his face.

Grandma is a bear, I thought that most of the four thousand taels of silver could be left, but it turned out that the knife was far beyond imagination, coupled with the gloomy ebony scabbard and thirty-six standard armor-piercing cones, it took a lot!

This is really difficult to make money, easy to spend money, four thousand taels of silver, not even a splash, the puff is gone, and I feel heartache when I think about it.

The old blacksmith happily cleaned up the stall, and the vendor next to him asked curiously:

"Uncle, how can you say that it is so clean today?"

"I'm going to quit."

While packing up his things, the old blacksmith said with a smile:

"The money I make these days can't be earned in ten lifetimes, and the old goods at the bottom of the box have been sold, and the rich man of Chai is rich!"

“...... Barbarian, do you think I've been fooled? ”

Sitting at home, looking at the scabbard of the carved dragon and phoenix, Chai Tiannuo smiled bitterly, he was fooled by the old blacksmith.

How can such a fancy scabbard be used in battle formations?

"Flicker, absolute flicker, it's so fragrant!"

Chai Man'er lay on the bed, eating the snacks Chai Tiannuo brought back, and nodded vigorously.

Although the type of dim sum here is much worse than that in the capital, it can't hold up a large amount, and the two eldest sons have a large bag of baked noodle flags that are fragrant and crispy, and they instantly bought the little girl's heart.

On weekdays, I eat with an endless little mouth, how can I have time to pay attention to Chai Tiannuo's self-pity.

“...... Are you telling the truth? ”

"Tell the truth, it's true!"

The little girl turned her head and smiled at Chai Tiannuo, squirting out a mouth full of scum.

After resting for the night, early the next morning, Chai Tiannuo found his four pawns to prepare to patrol the border, but as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by Zhao Jiujin.

"Tiannuo, pay attention carefully when patrolling the border, and call the police in time if there is any movement, yesterday two soldiers met the steppe Tartars not long after leaving the fort."

"It's very different from the previous ones, the face is full of tattoos and wildness, and one or two dare to provoke the team."

Chai Tiannuo frowned slightly:

"It seems that the Tartar tribe that followed Heihewei arrived first, the head of the camp, and the notices that should have been sent have been issued, right?"

As soon as he came back from Eighteen Libao, Chai Tiannuo reported the matter of Yinshan Wei Heihewei to Zhao Jiujin, and the next day the notice of the border city also arrived, and it is not difficult to see from the content that the entire Northwest Frontier Army attaches great importance to this change of defense.

"It's sent, each bridge fort now reports twice a day, although no royal soldiers have been found, but there are many more ordinary steppe tartars than in the past, and the situation is not optimistic."

Chai Tiannuo nodded lightly, arched his hand at Zhao Jiujin, and urged the horse to run out of the city.

"Don't say it, it's strange that I haven't patrolled the border for half a month."

Xiao Luo stepped off the war horse and stumbled while running, which was really suffocated in the fort.

"Mo Sahuan, all the preparations you should have are made, in case something happens, you won't be in a hurry."

The old immortal sorted out his equipment over and over again, the spear on the victory hook, the horizontal knife at his waist, and the bow and arrows on his waist, and checked it again and again, for fear that something he would not do well.

"Old immortal, you can't be so nervous, right?"

Da Luo, Xiao Luo and Xiao Jacket looked at it and smiled, Chai Tiannuo couldn't stand it anymore, so he said with a smile.

I haven't seen him behave like this when I encountered a steppe tartar before.

"Boss, you don't know, I've been in the army for twenty or thirty years, and I can always smell something unusual."

The wry smile of the old immortal:

"Many of my colleagues who are about the same age as me have died, and I can live longer than them because of this ability."

"I have experienced the change of defense in Wang Tingwei Mansion before, but only this time, I feel very unusual, and my heart is not tight."

Nodding, Chai Tiannuo also checked his equipment, Uncle Cao once said that if you go too much in the field of life and death, you will have indescribable intuition.

Veterans live long lives because they always follow their instincts.

Not long after leaving the civil fort, Chai Tiannuo and the others met a logistics team of other battalions that went to send supplies to the bridge fort, although the twenty-man Dashi did not die, but everyone was injured, Bai Zong said with a wry smile:

"The flower-faced tartar is too wild, and five people dare to rush into our big shi, but the days to come will be really difficult."
