Chapter 158: Entering the Palace

Hearing Zhao Laowei speak, Zuo Dao couldn't help but take a breath.

If this wasn't in the Hermit's Mansion, he would have to teach this old Zhao a good lesson.

He took a deep breath and said, "Senior only needs to tell me how many magic circles can be carved on a blade." ”

Old Monster Zhao pondered carefully for a moment, and then spoke: "Then it depends on what blade you build." ”

He weighed the snake bone long knife in his hand and said, "What do you want to change it to?" ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao said: "It is best to have a narrow and straight blade with a long handle......

He said what he remembered Tang Hengdao's appearance.

When Zhao Lao Wei heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "It can be hit, but if it is this kind of knife, it can only depict two sets of magic circles at most." ”

"It's not that difficult on both sides of the blade."

Zuo Dao said: "Then can you carve another set of magic circles on the back of the knife?" ”

Old Monster Zhao frowned, and he thought about it in his mind for a long time.

Although it is very difficult to carve a circle on the back of the sword, it is not impossible.

It's just too much of a drain, after all, it's harder than carving words on a grain of rice.

If there is a small spread pool, the entire circle will be destroyed.

Zuo Dao saw that Zhao Lao Wei hadn't spoken for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "But it's too difficult, seniors can't do it?" ”

When Zhao Lao Wei heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared: "What is this, refining weapons, there is nothing that the old man can't do." ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He still really wants to carve three sets of magic circles on top of his future blade.

One ice, one fire, plus one thunder.

In the future, with this sword, I am afraid that I will already be invincible in the battle power of the great grandmaster.

I only heard Zhao Laowei speak: "What can be done is what can be done......"

Left Dao looked at the other party.

I saw Zhao Lao Wei say slowly: "I have to add money." ”

"The ten gold of the formation mentioned before, if it is engraved on the back of the knife, it will cost at least twenty gold, and three sets of magic circles will be forty gold."

Hearing Zhao Lao Wei speak, Zuo Dao immediately nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome for Zhao Lao." ”

Old Monster Zhao glanced at him and said, "I didn't expect that your kid is really rich, no wonder my grandson asked you to come to me." ”

"What circle do you want to portray?"

Zuo Dao immediately spoke: "The left and right sides of the blade are the ice and fire array, and the back of the knife is engraved with thunder. ”

Hearing Zuo Dao speak, Old Monster Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Yes." ”

"The material cost is 100 gold, the manual cost is 30 gold, and the carving formation is 40 gold, which adds up to 170 gold, pay a deposit of 70 gold first, and come to get the knife the day after tomorrow."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao couldn't help but show a look of pain on his face.

However, he still took out seventy gold and handed it over to Zhao Laowei.

Old Monster Zhao weighed it for a while, and then said, "Okay, the deposit is paid, you can go back!" The day after tomorrow comes to get the knife. ”

After finishing speaking, Old Monster Zhao walked towards the room.

Zuo Dao glanced at the other party with some pain, and then walked outside.

Not long after he left Zhao Laowei's courtyard, he ran into Zhang Lin who led him in.

Zhang Lin saw the expression on Zuo Dao's face, and immediately spoke: "This lord, is what I said before true, this old Zhao has a strange temper, a high fee, and the formation portrayed is messy. ”

"It's better to follow me to find Master Zhang, exchange the voucher for a blade, and then use the preferential price to create a set of close-fitting magic clothes."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao waved his hand slightly and said, "No need, if you have nothing to do, take me to the Dan Medicine Academy." ”

Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment, and said, "You really fought at Old Monster Zhao?" ”

"How much did he charge you?"

Zuo Dao didn't hide it, but just sighed: "One hundred and seventy gold." ”

One hundred and seventy gold?

Hearing this number, Zhang Lin only felt a roar in his head.

He originally thought that even if he wanted to add some money to build a better blade, it would only be twenty or thirty gold.

Unexpectedly, this one was really willing to spend one hundred and seventy gold.

If this money is given to Master Zhang, he only needs to be able to get ten gold.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Lin beat his chest a little, he knew that this was the case, and he couldn't let Zuo Dao go to Zhao Laowei's courtyard.

After reacting, he asked, "Since your lord has hit the blade, do you need to fight another magic robe?" ”

Cassock?

There was a look of contemplation on the left side.

He can indeed create a set of this magic robe, which is worn inside the outer robe, which is difficult for ordinary people to find.

He nodded slightly, "It's okay." ”

When Zhang Lin heard this, his face suddenly showed a touch of joy, and he said, "Since this is the case, then my lord, please come with me." ”

Hearing that Zuo Dao wanted to create a magic robe, Zhang Lin hurriedly led him towards one of the small courtyards.

When I came to the small courtyard, I saw a sturdy middle-aged man wielding a sledgehammer in his hand, constantly tempering the iron embryo in his hand on the flames.

After seeing that person, Zhang Lin hurriedly spoke: "Uncle Zhang, this adult wants to create a magic robe. ”

Zhang Jiu turned his head and glanced at Zhang Lin and Zuo Dao.

Then he spoke: "Do you have the certificate given by the commander?" ”

Zhang Lin trotted forward all the way and whispered a few words in Zhang Jiu's ear.

When Zhang Jiu heard this, he looked at Zuo Dao in surprise, and muttered to himself: "You have the courage to dare to build a blade in Zhao Laowei." ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Jiu didn't care, but asked, "What style of magic clothes do you want to create?" ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he said his requirements for the vestment.

It's probably the lining that goes inside the outer shirt.

It is difficult for ordinary people to find, and the defense is extremely strong, and it must be able to reduce some mana or true element damage.

When Zhang Jiu heard this, he pondered in his heart for a moment, and then said: "It costs eighty gold to use all the materials I have here, and it costs thirty gold for you to bring the materials yourself." ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he took out the furs of the big demons he had killed before and handed them to Zhang Jiu in front of him.

Zhang Jiu looked at the fur materials handed over by Zuo Dao, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, and then said, "Your Excellency is the envoy who was transferred from Youzhou Ping to Beijing?" ”

Except for the Jinyi Wei who was transferred from Youzhou Ping to Jin, he couldn't figure out who else could come up with so many big demon materials.

Zuo Dao nodded and said, "Master Zhang really has good eyesight. ”

Zhang Jiu looked at the materials in his hand and said, "The materials are average, I still need to add some, although I have these materials, but the adults still need to give another fifty gold." ”

"It's a pity, the lord used the voucher with Zhao Laowei, otherwise at least he would be able to save the fifty gold."

"When did Old Monster Zhao promise the Lord to deliver the blade?"

Zuo Dao opened his mouth and said, "Senior Zhao said that I would pick it up the day after tomorrow." ”

When Zhang Jiu heard this, he opened his mouth and said, "Since this is the case, then the adults will come together to get the magic clothes the day after tomorrow." ”

Zuo Dao arched his hand at him and said, "Then there is Master Lao Zhang." ”

Forthwith.

Zuo Dao asked Zhang Lin to take him to the Pill Pharmacy to buy some pills that could increase mana.

But when he went to the pill medicine hospital, he found that there were very few pills that could work on him, and the price was extremely expensive.

Looking at the prices on those signs, Zuo Dao couldn't help but curse secretly.

I overtook the homes of so many officials in Youzhou, but I didn't expect that the money I got was not enough to buy some pills.

Although these pills were not as expensive as building a blade, they were far beyond what Zuo Dao thought in his heart, so he could only secretly give up.

A moment later, Zhang Lin respectfully sent Zuo Dao out of the gate of the Hermit's Mansion.

Seeing this, the monk who had been guarding with him couldn't help but sneer and said, "Zhang Lin, he's just a new commander, why do you have to act like such a dog?" ”

When Zhang Lin heard this, he asked rhetorically: "Have you ever seen a new commander who can take out hundreds of taels of gold to build a blade?" ”

When the man heard this, he was stunned.

Hundreds of taels of gold, he didn't dare to think about it.

The hermit's mansion was used to being poor, and the money given above was only enough for them to barely pay for it, so they never thought that anyone would be able to spend hundreds of taels of gold in a day.

And it's such a new commander, and it's too unreasonable for him to have so much gold in his hands.

……

After leaving the hermit's house, he wandered around Kyoto.

But on Suzaku Street in Kyoto, he saw an acquaintance.

It is the old turtle who has been staying at home all these days.

There was a look of surprise on his face, it was the first time he had seen the old turtle come out of his house.

Zuo Dao hurriedly stepped forward, came to the side of the old turtle, and said, "Why did the seniors think about coming out?" ”

The old turtle frowned slightly, and then said: "I sensed the breath of the Dragon Ball fragments in Kyoto, but unfortunately I couldn't sense the exact location, so I came out for a walk to see if I could meet them." ”

Hearing the old turtle speak, a look of surprise appeared on the left road.

After all, when he first came to Kyoto, the old turtle had sensed whether there were dragon ball fragments here, but at that time it was said that there were no dragon ball fragments in Kyoto.

Why is it that only a few days have passed, and I have sensed the breath of Dragon Ball fragments in Kyoto?

Zuo Dao said with some suspicion: "Are you sure that the predecessor did not make a mistake?" ”

When the old turtle heard this, he immediately glared at him and said, "When did the old man make a mistake?" ”

Zuo Dao said: "But a few days ago, when I first came to Kyoto, my predecessor said that Kyoto does not have the breath of Dragon Ball fragments. ”

Hearing this, the old turtle couldn't help coughing lightly, and then said, "At this time and that time, maybe the Dragon Ball fragment had not yet entered Kyoto at that time. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao's eyes were full of suspicion.

Then he spoke: "Since the senior has come out, have you ever sensed where the Dragon Ball fragments are?" ”

The old turtle shook his head and said, "I can still sense it, I need to walk more in this Kyoto city, I suspect that someone has sealed the dragon ball fragment in the treasure, blocking my perception." ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he said, "Since this is the case, then I will accompany my seniors to walk around Kyoto." ”

"Except for the deep palace forbidden courtyard, there is nothing in this Kyoto that can be difficult to live in."

The old turtle looked at Zuo Dao suspiciously, and muttered: "Nothing to do, either treachery or theft." ”

Zuo Dao's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he said: "How can the predecessor say this, I got such a great opportunity in the Dragon Palace, so I naturally want to repay the Dragon Monarch." ”

"Isn't it just right to help your predecessors find the Dragon Ball fragments now that you can repay Lord Longjun?"

Having said that, the old turtle's face was full of disbelief.

The two walked for a long time in Kyoto, and finally stopped outside a house.

The old turtle looked at the mansion in front of him, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Zuo Dao opened his mouth and asked, "The Dragon Ball fragment is in the courtyard here." ”

The old turtle also had some suspicion on his face, shook his head and nodded, and said, "I don't know, but I feel that the Dragon Ball fragment seems to have stayed here for a long time." ”

Zuo Dao looked at the plaque in the house in front of him, which was the residence of the commander of the forbidden army in the imperial city.

The old turtle glanced at Zuo Dao, and then spoke: "Didn't you kid say before that there is no place in this Kyoto that you can't go to, except for the Deep Palace Forbidden Courtyard?" ”

"Why don't you dare to go up and knock?"

When Zuo Dao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh twice.

He is a brocade guard, and he has nothing to do to enter the gate of the commander of the forbidden army, if this spreads, I am afraid it will not be good for the two of them.

Not to mention the crime of collusion in the mouths of the group of civil officials, but also the thoughts of His Majesty in the deep palace.

It's hard!

At this moment, the gate of the mansion opened, and a general in armor walked out of it, and after seeing the two people standing outside the door, there was a look of surprise on his face.

The man stepped forward and bowed his hand slightly to Zuo Dao and said, "Lord Zuo, standing in front of the door of my house, I don't know what to do?" ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao replied: "General Li is polite, he is just passing by here, and there is nothing else to do." ”

When General Li heard this, he said: "Since there is nothing to do, then I will leave first, Your Majesty has a summons, and I will set up a banquet at home to invite my lord when I am in a hurry to enter the palace in the next day, and I also invite Lord Zuo to appreciate his face." ”

Zuo Dao nodded slightly, and said, "I will definitely come to the door at that time." ”

Behind General Li, a senior eunuch walked out of the door, saw Zuo Dao in front of him, his eyes lit up instantly, and then he said: "This is the new commander, Lord Zuo Dao. ”

Zuo Dao immediately arched his hand and said: "It's a humble position, I don't know what this father-in-law has to do." ”

When the eunuch heard this, his face immediately showed a touch of joy, and then he said: "Isn't this just a coincidence, the servant has come to summon General Li and Master Zuo into the palace by His Majesty's imperial decree. ”

Hearing this person speak, Zuo Dao couldn't help but be stunned.

recalled what the commander had said before, so that he should not enter the palace if he had nothing to do, and if he did not have a clear imperial decree, he would not enter the palace.

But now, this eunuch has come with an edict, and it is impossible for him to disobey His Majesty's will.

If I knew this, I should have asked for an errand out of the city today.

Zuo Dao sighed in his heart, and then arched his hand and said, "Obey the order!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he explained a few words to the old turtle, and then followed the two of them in the direction of the palace.

In just a moment, he came to the palace and saw His Majesty, who was suspected of being close to the martial arts immortal.

According to the old turtle, it is very likely that this majesty will be able to beat him for three and a half.
