He Biao was very unhappy when he saw Master Kang's face suddenly change, and said: "Master Kong, don't be ignorant, His Royal Highness the Prince has come in person, and he has already given you enough face, and you still dare to put forward conditions, you don't want to die?" ”

Li Mu hurriedly stopped He Biao and said, "Master Kong, you don't have to be afraid, as I said, as long as you get zinc, we will buy it, and you have the conditions, just bring it up." ”

Master Kong glared at He Biao, and then said to Li Mu: "His Royal Highness the prince counts? ”

"Count." Li Mu said affirmatively.

Master Kong said: "You have also seen that the old man is over seventy, and he seems to be a person who has entered the earth, but this grandson is lonely and has no one to entrust him. ”

Li Mu asked, "Where are his parents?" ”

Master Kong suddenly burst into tears and said: "A few years ago, because I offended the lord of the government, my son and daughter-in-law were arrested by the master and beaten half to death, and then I spent a lot of silver and put it back, and they all died not long after, leaving a child, how many years can I take care of him?" ”

Li Mu was sad when he heard this, and asked, "Master Kong, what are your conditions?" ”

Master Kang said: "If you can trust it, I can continue to refine this thing for you, but, my grandson, please Your Highness to settle it properly, if you can follow Your Highness, the old man will have no worries." ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, with himself? Although it is a good choice, I also need a trustworthy follower, but, in principle, the prince's followers are all eunuchs.

It's not proper, it's inappropriate, it's something that hurts people to cut off the finch, Li Mu can't do it.

Li Mu said: "Master Kong, otherwise, this child will be put in the hands of Master Wei first, and he will be an apprentice in the Supervision Division, He Biao, there is no problem, right?" As for whether you can follow me, let's talk about it later? ”

He Biao said embarrassedly: "The Supervision Department does not raise idlers, but His Royal Highness the Prince has spoken, and it should not be a problem for me to return to my boss as soon as possible." ”

Li Mu said: "This matter must be done well, Master Kong has refined zinc and given it to Datang, this contribution is huge, and then another reward must be given." ”

Li Mu touched the silver ticket on his body, and he wanted to stuff it directly to Master Kong, but his hand didn't stretch out, and he also needed the silver ticket!

Since it is an official matter, it is better to spend public funds.

He Biao agreed, the matter was settled, and then looked at Fu Xianyue, who did not mix with Li Mu to engage in metal zinc, but had a lot of fun with Master Kong's grandson Kang Jie.

Fu Xianyue didn't like to talk to children at all, I don't know why, when I saw the little boy today, I liked it in my heart and was full of love.

Tomorrow, He Biao came over with the silver, and by the way, he took Kang Jie into the city, and Master Kong continued to refine zinc overnight, according to a certain price, how many, all of them were purchased.

As for the galvanizing process, Li Mu doesn't have to worry about it, the supervision department has a complete set of equipment and skills for plating various metals.

Li Mu really wanted to get drunk again in this mountain village, and by accident, he would refine metal zinc many years in advance, and he participated in it himself, which was very fulfilling.

However, seeing that the sky was darkening, Li Mu did not dare to delay, said goodbye to Master Kong, and returned to the city together in two carriages.

The car entered the city, and the sky was dark, Li Mu asked He Biao to go by himself, and then asked the coachman to slow down, he wanted to see the night of Chang'an City and experience the nightlife of the prosperous era of Kaiyuan.

Simply, the curtain of the car was lifted, the autumn wind was blowing, cool and comfortable, very comfortable, Fu Xianyue liked Li Mu's decision even more.

It's equivalent to driving with a man you like, and the scene isn't too beautiful.

The carriage went on Chang'an Avenue, and sure enough, it was brightly lit and lively. The cries of all kinds of hawkers come and go, and the street market at night is the most living place.

Li Mu and Fu Xianyue talked and laughed, and they have been integrated into this kind of leisurely and complacent.

Suddenly, in the distant street, there was a commotion, and someone shouted: "There are assassins,"

Then, the voice of an official shouted: "Pedestrian vehicles, immediately dodge and catch the assassin." ”

Li Mu was taken aback, and Fu Xianyue was also so frightened that she rushed to Li Mu's side and grabbed Li Mu's hand.

Li Mu hurriedly lowered the curtain and asked the coachman to stop the carriage on the side of the road.

Li Mu said: "Mr. Fu, you sit down, don't move, I'll get out of the car to see the situation." ”

Fu Xianyue said nervously: "Your Royal Highness, don't go down, it's too dangerous, if you have anything to do, I might as well die first." ”

Li Mu was moved, but his curiosity was stronger.

Li Mu said: "Don't worry, I'll just take a look, don't get close, big brother coachman, you protect Mr. Fu." ”

The coachman agreed, Li Mu had already jumped out of the carriage, took the horsewhip from the coachman's hand, and saw that the riot in front of him was still advancing forward, Li Mu trotted and approached quickly.

Li Mu saw that a hundred steps away, there were two carriages, and there were four or five guards on both sides of the carriage, protecting them left and right, all of them with waist knives out of their sheaths, and a cold light was shining.

Pedestrians and vehicles are hiding, and in an instant, the street looks very empty, depressed, and murderous.

A little ahead, there were three or four black-clothed men, with swords in their hands flashing non-stop, and they were quickly fighting with seven or eight guards.

The sound of the sword handing over and hitting was sharp and piercing, and the loud scolding and invective were even more rough and messy.

Who is this? Chang'an Avenue is too arrogant to carry out assassination, right? What kind of people they are, or what kind of organization, it seems that there are only three or four people.

Who did they assassinate? Two carriages, so many guards, shouldn't be ordinary people, it seems to be better than their own forks? Are there two big people in the carriage?

Li Mu had all kinds of suspicions in his heart, and then, when he saw the battlefield of the fight, he gradually rushed towards this side.

Li Mu was shocked, and hurriedly hid his body behind a big tree, people beat and killed, don't make a disaster to the pond fish, and get yourself stabbed.

Li Mu could see it very clearly, seven or eight guards and three black-clothed men were entangled, the sound of swords breaking through the wind, and the sound of stabbing in the body kept coming.

The three big men in black obviously did not have the upper hand, but were entangled, and after a long time, they would definitely be killed or captured.

Li Mu was looking at it, and he felt that beside him, a gust of wind swept by, bringing up a fallen leaf, and the sound of rustling crossed Li Mu's ears.

Li Mu turned his head and saw that a black shadow almost brushed his side, swept by, and pounced directly on the opposite battlefield.

The speed of this body is simply elegant, as fast as lightning, Li Mu secretly applauded, in the past few days, he has practiced the fairy sword, and this is what he wants, but Li Mu is still far behind.

Moreover, Li Mu found that the figure flying by was flexible and agile, and it was clearly a woman.

Woman? Female assassins?

Is there really such a person? Fun!

Envy and excitement again, Li Mu's mind immediately turned to the four men in black, feeling that they must be the embodiment of some kind of righteous power, and the big man in the carriage must have done all the bad things and should be killed.

Li Mu almost applauded, come on.

The moment the woman in black rushed into the battle array, the long sword in her hand immediately pulled out an extremely powerful sword flower.

Click, click-

Two loud crisp sounds, as the sword flower burst out, the round heads of the two guards immediately flew into the air and rolled in the direction where Li Mu was.

Li Mu saw it thrillingly, and when he saw two human heads, he landed more than a dozen steps in front of him, bleeding and his eyes were bulging.

Li Mu subconsciously retreated, closed his eyes, and didn't dare to look more.

The situation in front of the siege immediately changed, two of the seven or eight guards died, the formation was chaotic, four men in black, three men and one woman, and the speed was faster.

Li Mu closed his eyes for a while, and the remaining guards all rushed to the street, their heads were in different places, and the scene was terrifying.

The four men in black had already pounced on the two carriages, and the guards on both sides of the carriages kept screaming and falling.

Li Mu was unwilling to travel such a long distance, relying on his courage, he moved forward more than a dozen steps, and after passing the heads of the two guards, Li Mu still covered his eyes.

The two carriages were moving forward, but slowly.

The guards on both sides, there were two dead left, and suddenly, the roof of the carriage in front of him rushed away, and a man rose into the sky, a steel knife in his hand, and the cold light was shining.

The man spun in the air, and the steel knife and his body merged into one, as fast as lightning, and rushed towards a man in black on the left.

"Ahh With a scream, the man in black was stabbed in the chest with a steel knife and fell backwards.

The man who had just rushed out of the carriage let out a cruel laugh, drew a bloody steel knife, and swept towards another man in black.

The blood mist burst out, and after dozens of steps, even Li Mu felt that the blood beads were thrown on his face, and Li Mu hurriedly wiped it with his hand.

In a flash, the second man in black was cut in two by the steel knife, and the moment his body fell to the ground, his upper body and lower body were almost folded together.
