The Tsui Kee Blacksmith Shop is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Zheng Shuang is one of the two three-star refiners of the blacksmith shop, and his departure has dealt a devastating blow to Xu Ji's blacksmith shop. What's more, it was not only Zheng Shuang who left, but more than a dozen blacksmith masters were taken away by Zheng Shuang and went to Longpan Blacksmith Shop together. With so many fewer people all of a sudden, Xu Ji's blacksmith shop was suddenly overstretched, not to mention that there was a Longpan blacksmith shop on the side?

Xu Liang didn't believe that Longpan Blacksmith was willing to let go of this opportunity to give Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop a fatal blow.

Xu Liang didn't think about digging a three-star refiner from somewhere else, but is a three-star refiner so easy to dig?

He has no background and power, and second, he has no monstrous wealth, so why should he attract a three-star refiner?

There are only so many three-star refiners in Jianglong County, one-third of which have been registered in the Refiners Guild, and the remaining two-thirds have been divided between major blacksmith shops and four-star refiners, such as Hu Fei and Zhuo Bufan's subordinates have recruited four or five three-star refiners, Longpan Blacksmith Shop and Jinxuan Blacksmith Shop also have three three-star refiners respectively, and the rest all choose to work alone and open their own blacksmith shops, how can there be a chance for Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop to intervene?

Xu Liang doesn't blame Zheng Shuang, because Zheng Shuang is already quite kind compared to other blacksmith masters. If you want to repay the favor, Zheng Shuang has been staying in Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop all these years and has never abandoned it, it is because of him that Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop can grow into one of the three major blacksmith shops in Jianglong County, so Xu Liang can't be blamed.

If you have to blame anyone, Xu Liang can only complain about the sky.

"Defoe. Xu Liang stood in the hall for a long time before calling the Defu butler.

Defu walked quickly: "Shopkeeper." ”

Xu Liang said in a deep voice: "You gather everyone over, I have something important to announce." ”

"It's also ...... in the sales area," Defu didn't understand for a while.

"Yes, all the employees of the blacksmith's shop have been summoned. Xu Liang waved his hand, "Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop is temporarily closed today. Xu Liang can still afford this small loss.

Defu was confused, but still nodded: "Okay, I'll go now." ”

In a few moments, all the employees of the blacksmith shop gathered in the inner courtyard.

"It seems that there are still some people who haven't arrived, so you wait first, and I'll look for it." Defoe looked at the crowd and said.

Xu Liang waved his hand: "No need to look for it, I know where they went." ”

"Oh. Defoe silently stepped aside.

Looking around, the more sad Xu conscience became, he held back his sadness and squeezed out a smile: "Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop has been established for more than 40 years, and over the years, thanks to your help, Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop can become one of the three major blacksmith shops in Jianglong County!

The crowd was terrified, and although they were at a loss, the shopkeeper bowed to them, and they could not afford it.

"Shopkeeper, this is our job, why do we need to do this?"

"The blacksmith shop gave us a salary and provided such a high salary, we should be grateful to the shopkeeper!"

......

Even Master Jiang, who has always regarded himself very highly, was a little uneasy at this time, and said: "If the shopkeeper is dissatisfied with us, just put it forward, we will do our best to satisfy the shopkeeper!"

Many of them believe that Xu Liang is talking the opposite, and is actually very dissatisfied with their recent laziness.

As a result, many people feel guilty.

They are not afraid that Xu Liang will drive them away, as a blacksmith master, no matter where they go, they can eat together, they are still very confident in their hearts, but most of them have received Xu Liang's favor, if there is no Xu Liang, they will not have today, therefore, even if the treatment of Xu Ji blacksmith shop is slightly lower than that of other blacksmith shops, they can accept it, and ten years like a day, never give up, they are not afraid that Xu Liang will drive them away, they are afraid that Xu Liang will be disappointed in them, which will make them feel very guilty and uneasy.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. Xu Liang said: "I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I don't mean anything else." ”

After a pause, he continued: "I know that there are many blacksmith shops that have invited you and even offered high conditions, but you still choose to stay in Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop, I am really touched. Speaking of this, he was a little emotional, "Actually, you don't owe me anything, all along, we just use each other, each takes what he needs, and it is your credit that the blacksmith shop has come to this day, so if you really want to say what you owe, I also owe you." ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were also a little moist.

Xu Liang's words evoked their memories in the blacksmith shop, and also evoked the memories of being helped by Xu Liang.

Li Qi burst into tears at this time, and only endless gratitude to Xu Liang was left in his heart.

And most of those blacksmith masters came from Li Qi's stage, how could they forget Xu Liang's help to them?

"I wish to live and die with the blacksmith shop!" Li Qi didn't know which tendon was wrong, and suddenly shouted, tears already wetting his cheeks.

Love is full of magic and can be infected with each other.

When his voice sounded, the string in everyone's hearts suddenly snapped, and they echoed impulsively and emotionally: "I wish to live and die with the blacksmith!" Although most of them have passed the age of impulsiveness, they still can't help but shout, and their voices are categorical.

"Thank you!"

Xu Liang bowed again, and he wiped the tears from his face.

Taking a deep breath, his expression became firm, and he said, "There is bad news, I must tell everyone, and after you hear it, I will decide whether to go or stay." ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked.

What happened to the blacksmith shop that it rose to such a strict height?

"From today onwards, Master Zheng is no longer the refiner of Xu Kee's blacksmith shop. Xu Liang dropped a bombshell, "In addition to Master Zheng, there are more than a dozen blacksmith masters, who also followed Master Zheng to the Longpan blacksmith shop. ”

"Master Zheng, which Master Zheng?" For a while, some people didn't react.

But soon, they remembered that Master Zheng, Zheng Shuang, and Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop were one of the two three-star refiners!

In the case of Zhao Lao's gradual aging, Zheng Shuang can be said to be the only pillar of Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop, and he is the iconic figure of Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop!

When Zheng Shuang left, the only pillar of Xu Ji's blacksmith shop fell, and not only that, but more than a dozen blacksmith masters left together, which was equivalent to sprinkling salt on the wounds of Xu Ji's blacksmith shop, which made the shape of Xu Ji's blacksmith shop worse.

This news caused an uproar.

Even this signature figure has defected to other homes, isn't the Xu Ji blacksmith shop finished? It can be expected that even if the Xu Ji blacksmith shop is not ruined in this huge crisis, it will be pulled down from the altar and reduced to a second-rate blacksmith shop.

Everyone's faces became heavy, and they finally understood what Xu Liang meant now.

In the inner courtyard, there were more than 60 people, and the mood was extremely depressed, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

"Go, or stay?" everyone was also hesitant and hesitant in their hearts.

Continuing to stay in Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop is destined to have no future, but Xu Liang is kind to them, if they leave in the most difficult period of Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop, isn't it tantamount to treachery, and En will take revenge?

It's a dilemma.

Defu looked at everyone anxiously, eager to open a hundred mouths and persuade everyone to stay.

"Don't go, don't go!" Fude repeated worriedly.

The inner courtyard was eerily quiet, and fell into a dead silence.

Long.

Li Qi slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Liang firmly: "Shopkeeper, I am willing to stay." ”

Xu Liang looked at Li Qi in surprise: "Are you sure?

"I'm sure. Li Qi nodded, "Not only am I willing to stay, but the salary can also maintain the standard of the apprenticeship." Xu Kee Blacksmith is my second home, and I am willing to share the hardships with it!"

At this moment, Xu Liang was really surprised and extremely moved, he shed tears of relief, and kept nodding: "Good boy, good boy...... " He suddenly felt that even if Xu Ji's blacksmith shop was really ruined, he would not be so sad.

"Shopkeeper, I'm willing to stay!"

"I'll stay too. ”

"Me, and me!"

......

Perhaps under the influence of Li Qi, or perhaps remembering the oath they had made at the beginning, about forty people 66 continued to stand up, including a few apprentices, some blacksmith masters, and sales staff in the sales area.

"Thank you, thank you. Xu Liang was speechless and choked with emotion.

At this time, there are still so many people who choose to stay and share the hardships with Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop, is there anything more gratifying and touching for Xu Liang than this?

Defu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly clenched his fist.

There are still about 20 people who have not made a choice, and they are still hesitating, not knowing where to go.

They really want to choose to stay, but after losing Zheng Shuang's Xu Ji blacksmith shop, is there any hope for revitalization?

Xu Liang didn't urge them, let alone force them, he silently waited for them to choose, no matter what choice they made, Xu Liang would not blame them.

The clock ticked by the minute, and sweat broke out on their faces.

Judging from their expressions, they must be very uncomfortable in their hearts, facing such a difficult choice, that kind of pressure, it is indeed very torturous.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

At the critical moment, there was a knock on the door.

Defu was stunned: "Didn't we put up a notice outside to inform us that business would be suspended today? Why did people still knock on the door?"

There was a knock on the door outside, and Xu Liang glanced at Fu.

Fude understood, turned away silently, and went to the sales area to open the door, and by the way, to see which guy was so uninteresting.

"Squeak!"

There was a screeching sound between the wooden door and the deadbolt, the door was opened, and a ray of sunlight shone in from the outside, and a figure appeared on the ground.

"Lin Feng, it's you!" Fude said in astonishment.

Only then did he remember that it seemed that Lin Feng had gone to participate in the three-star refiner assessment, and now that he had only come back, he definitely didn't know the current situation of the blacksmith shop.

Lin Feng was also stunned at this time: "Steward Defu, why is the blacksmith shop closed?

Defu was in no mood to care about Lin Feng's assessment now, he was almost certain that Lin Feng would not be able to pass the assessment, so he directly led Lin Feng to the backyard, and said as he walked: "There are some unexpected situations in the blacksmith shop, and I can't tell for a while." Let's go, you come in with me first, don't talk after you go in, just listen to it. He didn't have time to explain to Lin Feng, he was still anxious to see how the remaining twenty people would choose.

"Oh. Lin Feng thought for a moment, followed behind Defu, and stopped talking.
