Seeing that Ke Laotie had already realized his mistake, he didn't say anything more.

Nodding his head, he said, "Then there is Lao Kelao." I personally have a word, abrupt and offensive, I hope that Ke Lao will not be surprised. Ke Lao has superb casting skills and deserves to be a must. It would be a pity to lose it in the future. Why not find a legacy? First, it can save you some labor. Second, after a hundred years of Ke Lao, he can be regarded as a successor. ”

Ke Laotie smiled: "You said to accept apprentices? It's hard. Although the blacksmiths in the village know how to refine the iron craftsmanship of this hundred refined steel, the old man has a lineage of beacon fire and heavenly casting skills, specializing in fighting divine weapons. Ordinary people can't learn it. He said, how many people in the world can make my 300-pound sledgehammer? Moreover, even the really talented young man will not like the boring work of burning charcoal and hammering iron. ”

Luo Tian suddenly asked, "What do you think of my sixth junior brother?" ”

Faced with Luo Tianyao's unexplained question, Ke Laotie was stunned.

When he came back to his senses, he waved his hand again and again without hiding his contempt: "No, no, he can't." Seven of you are the worst of him. Talent is not good, strength is not good, patience is even worse. My striking of iron is rough and tiring work, and I have to be honest and honest people who can suffer to do it. He Ming can't endure hardship, I don't want it. ”

Luo Tianyao said again: "Although he is not capable, he is still young. Just like the pig iron in the furnace, it seems to be rough and not strong, but if it is beaten by a master like you, it can always be made into steel. Ke Lao took my sixth brother and became a coolie. On weekdays, lighting fires, lifting hammers, and even serving tea and pouring water are also considered helpers. ”

Ke Laotie's tone was firm and insisted: "I don't want to." Don't let him come. I don't have time to play with him. Besides, my shabby grass house can't tolerate the gods to catch and settle down. I don't do this errand that offends. If it really pushes me, I might as well quit my job and go home. ”

Seeing that Ke Laotie didn't let go, Luo Tianyao had no choice but to give up.

And he said, "Well, I don't force it. However, please keep this matter confidential and don't let the sixth brother know. ”

Ke Laotie smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know that kid loves face." We know what to expect. ”

Luo Tianyao immediately bowed and retired: "The juniors say goodbye." ”

Ke Laotie hurriedly sent out the door.

Luo Tianyao knew that He Mingming's strength was mediocre, and now he was also in the name of God Hunting, so it was inevitable that he would be a little ambitious. On the business trip of the chief arresting department, with the protection of several of their brothers, there was no major mistake. But sooner or later, he will have to start a family, and he can't always rely on others.

And He Mingming's talent is average, and he doesn't practice hard enough on weekdays, so it is difficult to make great achievements in martial arts. And in the rivers and lakes, the lack of force is not enough, and it is inevitable to be embarrassed. And the unique casting technique practiced by Ke Laotie can strengthen the body and grind people's hearts, which is suitable for the cultivation of people with unstable foundations like He Ming. If he can follow Ke Laotie for a few years, he will definitely be able to achieve something.

It's a good idea, but it's hard to do. First, He Mingming will not be willing to be a blacksmith. Second, Ke Laotie is reluctant to accept this kind of half-hanging. However, no matter how difficult things are, as long as they are gradual and done properly, they can always be done. Luo Tianyao is also considered to be a future today, and he prepared an introduction in advance.

Luo Tianyao walked away. Ke Laotie finally breathed a sigh of relief. While cleaning up the broken blades, he cursed loudly at Luofan! Not only did the grandson steal his own knife, but he also lost face. In the future, we must seize the opportunity and not be spared.

After thinking about it, Luo Tianyao reminded him right, he really should accept an apprentice. But He Mingming's kind of person can't be wanted anyway.

Turning back. At noon, in the main room of the backyard of the Chief Capture Division, Yan Yijian, the Golden Sword Divine Hero, ate alone.

She has rules for eating, can't talk, and doesn't like to be disturbed. Xue Yang and Xie Xu had no choice but to sit outside and wait quietly.

Yan Yijian finished eating, came to the lobby, and sat down upright.

Seeing that her face was clear and cold, and she was not angry and arrogant, she looked at Xue Yang and said, "This time, I came to visit Yuran." Second, at the invitation of the Lord of the Sword Pass, there is one more matter to discuss with you. ”

Xue Yang said respectfully: "Senior, please speak." ”

Yan Yijian: "You have always been good friends with Ji Cheng, and the two of you once verbally agreed on two family affairs. Later, because Ji Cheng's son Ji Changkong followed the Ziliu Taoist priest to learn art in the deep mountains, the matter has been delayed. Now, Ji Changkong has learned and has returned to the sword pass. They want to come to the door, what do you think? ”

Xue Yang said happily: "Naturally, it's a happy event." Ji Changkong and Yuran had a marriage contract early, but he had delayed all these years because of his studies. Now, Yuran is thirty out of twenty, and it is long overdue to get married. This matter should also be handled as soon as possible, but we have a matter of concern. ”

Yan Yijian suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said unabashedly: "You can keep your word, it's not bad." But I want to warn you first. Although Ji Changkong has been successful in learning and art, his personality has changed. I was in Jianguan, looking at this son's appearance, and found that he had evil in his eyes, poison in his heart, indifferent to human feelings, and seemed to have entered the evil path. And his appearance is ugly and abnormal, and he does not enter the eyes of the world. Not a good husband. ”

Hearing these few words, Xue Yang's heart tightened.

Yan Yijian is an experienced person, and it is not wrong to know people. When he was embarrassed, he asked: "The seniors are as wise as torches." What he said is true. I don't know what the seniors thought should be done with this matter? ”

Yan Yijian pondered: "Human nature is good. But sometimes, it is often the thought of good and evil that determines the achievement of a lifetime. However, fate is not immutable. Yuran has a dignified face and a soft temperament, and is a blessed person. If she marries a good man, she can help her husband soar. If you marry a wicked man, you will be able to lead him to good. It's better to invite Ji Cheng's family to come as a guest. Get along for a few days, if Yuran is willing, she will marry, and if she is unwilling, she will cancel the marriage. ”

Xue Yang is the best face, and hesitated: "This rules of the rivers and lakes, how can the marriage set be reversed?" So, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense, right? ”

Yan Yijian was the most disdainful of human feelings and sophistication, and criticized: "People conform to the time of the day and follow fate." It doesn't make sense. If you and Ji Cheng are the truth, why do you have to hang your face. Yuran's happiness is the key you should consider. You're a vain man who has a lot of thoughts. If you can't escape the chaos of this world, it is difficult to achieve great things. ”

Xue Yang was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Yan Yijian spoke straightforwardly, but he was not wrong. But he is Xue Yang, not Yan Yijian. He can't be distressed by human feelings, and he can't abandon the morality in his heart.

See Xue Yang sluggish. Yan Yijian didn't care much, got up and said, "The words have been brought, how to choose is up to you." There was nothing to do, so I left. ”

Yan Yijian came and went in a hurry. Xue Yang and Xie Xu hurriedly sent them outside the gate.

Dusk slanted westward.

A flock of geese in the air flew neatly over the sunset. It's so peaceful.

Luo Fan snatched Ke Laotie's knife and ran out of the chief arrest division.

On the street, I beat a pound of loose wine, carried the beef and roast duck that I didn't eat at noon, flew to the roof of Fengyue Building, and sat on the tile roof to drink and eat meat happily.

Take a sip of wine, eat a piece of meat, and say comfortably: "What Zhao Xue said is good. The beef and roast duck at this place taste OK! ”

Condescending, with a wide field of vision, you can see every street in Qicheng.

The flag city is guarded by the Wuwang Mansion, and it is not as full of gangs as other cities, and the forces are complex. In this way, the people of the city only have to curry favor with this one family. Life is hard, but it's peaceful.

The best location on East Street is Wuwangfu. From a distance, the high walls and deep courtyards, the golden armor is heavy, accounting for the majesty of half the street.

Luo Fan looked disdainful. The laws of the dynasty clearly stipulate that the golden armor guard is a regulation that can only be used by the king of Tiandu. King Wu only has a foreign surname Wang, and he dares to use it in a grand manner. It seems that he doesn't care about the authority of the king of Tiandu at all.

Speaking of which, the current king of Tiandu is really in name only.

The court is completely controlled by the four major families. Outside the court, it was divided by several kings surnamed Li and eight kings of the opposite sex. And the black and white roads in various places are constantly expanding, occupying mountains and mountains, building cities and forts, barrages and controlling the sea, as if they all want to become kingdoms of their own.

Speaking of the Dark Horse Gang, the second largest gang in the underworld, there are now millions of bandits, covering an area of more than 300 miles. Not to mention, the ambitious and rising Red Blood Gate, the Buddha Temple Jade Gate, the World Silver Gang, Lingxiu Villa, Baijiangmen and so on. Now the total number of black and white people has exceeded 20 million, and they have steadily suppressed the Tiandu Dynasty in terms of troops alone.

As the king of Tiandu, Li Benxin has few capable people and weak troops. Although he still bears the name of the king, he has long been unable to do it, and he can't stop it, just like half a puppet.

At the beginning, after Li Yunfeng, the first king of Tiandu, established a new dynasty, he crowned eight of his closest comrades. These eight can not only control the military power alone, but also hereditary replacement, which can be regarded as the most powerful shield to maintain the stability of the dynasty. I never thought that there would be a generation of rivers and lakes, and the descendants of the Eight Kings were not as loyal as their ancestors.

Today's eight kings, in order to ensure the eternal future, have long been connected and become barriers to each other. As for the King of Tiandu, they didn't pay much attention to it for a long time.

And the martial king of Qicheng was one of the eight kings with different surnames that year.
