Ying'an County, Pingliu Village.

This is the second time Ning He has come to Pingliu Village, but it is not too far from Ying'an County, only more than forty miles, much closer than Lan Village and Jingyang Village.

"Uncle Han, has my sword been adjusted?"

At the end of Pingliu Village, a simple courtyard that occupies seven points of land, Ning He shouted at the courtyard through the courtyard gate.

The sound of the bells and bells in the courtyard stopped, and an old man of ordinary height, thin and a little rickety, came over and opened the courtyard door, and said with a smile: "The county lieutenant is here, the sword was loaded two days ago, and I thought that you would wait for the spearhead to be beaten in a few days, and come over to get it together." ”

"I'll bring you some food and drink."

Ning He replied with a smile, carried two large bags of things, and walked into the courtyard.

This old man Han is nearly sixty years old, and his body is tough, but his life is not good, so he relies on his ancestral craftsmanship and makes a living with some farm tools and kitchen utensils.

Although the craftsmanship is excellent, not inferior to many top craftsmen in the army, but he does not make weapons for people, if it were not for Ning He to be a military general, not a Jianghu person, he would not have accepted this business.

It just so happened that he came to Pingliu Village today, so he brought more food and drink for the old man.

"By the way?" Old man Han muttered, but he was not too polite, took the things brought by Ning He, and said again: "Then it should be for the suppression of bandits, I will hurry up and get the sword for you, don't delay it." ”

"No hurry, no hurry, I've already been over there." Ning He stopped people with a false head.

said that it was a bandit, but in fact, it was those who were scattered and fled in Lan Village and Jingyang Village at that time.

Ying'an County issued a chase and suppression order, although it did not delve into those armors, but it also avoided those people from wandering around and causing trouble in the township, and they still had to be driven away or arrested.

This matter has always been in charge of Liu Quan, the township soldier, and Han Dong, the county magistrate, and he is not the shopkeeper, but in the city of Cha Ying'an.

He learned from the little girl who bought those outside Zhenxi Pass at that time that in Ying'an, as well as several cities on the way from Xinyi County to Pinglang County on the coast of Canglan Sea, those slave traders had 'shipments', and there were still extra things hidden under a few carriages.

Among them, in Ying'an City, there was a car with things at that time, and more than 30 female slaves were left behind.

During this time, he was secretly investigating the whereabouts of those things.

He Lanqi and others are also secretly helping, but they don't have a clue.

However, there was a group of more than a dozen scattered wolves who sent swordsmen, I don't know the situation, and they hit the idea to Pingliu Village, and Yongjiu, who was not on duty this year, was arrested with his own team of township soldiers, and some of the discoveries related to his investigation were sent to send him a message.

He also went over there to interrogate people, and after a trip here, he was ready to take people back.

"That's good, that's good." After listening to his explanation, Old Man Han nodded, led him to the stone shed in the courtyard, and picked up a huge spearhead embryo that was five feet long and showed him, his eyes were full of complacency.

"The molding is much faster than originally planned, from the beginning of this thing, it is not like a smooth word, there is no problem at all, now just wait for the refinement and quenching, the rod is adjusted to the counterweight, and it is done."

Old man Han said, handing the spearhead to Ning He.

The blade of this spearhead is three feet long, the tail of the blade is winged, and the lower part is seven inches without a blade long neck, the thickest part of the neck has an inch, the width is more than two inches, slightly narrower than the widest part of the blade, the six sides are flat, like a short special-shaped flat hammer, and then the hammer is the size of a fist, and there is a long chisel under the foot, which is left in the handle.

Although it is an embryo, there are not many places that need to be refined.

Now, in addition to the cutting line is not so angular, the cutting surface is not particularly flat, and some ornamental embellishments are still missing, there is already a real prototype.

Weighing the weight of the spearhead in his hand, looking at the shape that was very in line with his heart, and even slashing twice, feeling a thing or two, Ning He couldn't help but praise: "Uncle Han is really good!" ”

"Huh." Old man Han just smiled, but his heart was also full of joy.

After learning this craft, he couldn't make a good weapon, which was also a regret in his heart.

Now, this regret is over.

Then he went to get a long sword for Ning He and handed it over.

Ning He's original long beryllium is basically the same as the current blade width, and the blade length is also three feet, but the thickness is much different, less than half an inch, and it is a little weaker than the new spearhead, but when it is made into a sword, it is also a thick big guy.

For this reason, the old man Han also gave this sword a thick, slightly flattened and long octagonal coil, with a wide handle of the winding rope below, and a lot of cooked copper pieces were added near the tail, as well as a composite heavy sword head with a ring head, and even a few copper hoops were added under the rope of the sword handle, all for counterweight and adjust the center of gravity of the sword body.

Ning He took the sword, and also danced with his hand, compared to his previous state of simple cultivation, it was not too smooth to use, and there was no feeling that the sword body was falling forward.

In addition to the actual weight of the sword itself, it is much larger than ordinary sword weapons, and it does not have the feeling of picking a hammer.

Now it's another rainbow fart.

"The scabbard is also made according to the words of the county lieutenant, and the things are carefully hidden in the sheath, sandwiched between two layers, and the scabbard will not be destroyed and will never hurt."

Old man Han handed out a scabbard, but it was much more solemn than the two weapons handed out before.

Ning He took it and stroked it and nodded gratefully.

Hidden in the sheath is the wolf riding battle flag of his Liezi Battalion, although the Liezi Battalion will still make up for it, but it is no longer the Liezi Battalion that he is familiar with.

So before he left, he asked Xiao Wei for this flag, and put it together with his broken beryllium, he hoped that one day, he could let him unfold again, take him, take them, and hate!

"I won't keep you, it's a delay, I have to beat one more hoe."

Old man Han saw that he was satisfied and took something, and directly said something to people.

"Come on, I'll get out, don't worry about that thing, you don't have to do it in the dark and during the day, and then be tired."

Ning He put the sword away and hung it on his waist, and said with a smile.

"Don't talk to me, let's go!" Old man Han waved his hand to chase away the flies, picked up the iron tongs by himself, and took out a piece of iron to heat it again.

"I'm not in a hurry." Ning He smiled and said goodbye and got out.

Then he didn't delay much, went to Yongjiu to get someone, escorted him to Ying'an, and rushed back to the county seat at night.

"You're not a cat, you're a crab?"

After Ning He returned to the county government and handed over the people to Han Dianzhi to be imprisoned, he came to the small courtyard where Gongye Ziyi lived.

Gongye Ziyi looked at his horizontal sword behind him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and joked.

"Did you draw out the sword?"

Ning Hetan took the sword in his hand and flipped it to the ground, "Are you stupid, I'm sick, I have to hang behind me and pull out, my head is pumping." ”

His sword, which was nearly five feet long even in its sheath, stood up taller than many women in the ordinary, and pulled it directly from behind his waist, and his arm was about as long as it touched the ground.

"What's going to be for tonight?"

Seeing that Gongye Ziyi was choked for a while, and didn't think of how to use words to fight back against him, Ning He directly skipped this section and asked instead.

"Eat crabs!" Gongye Ziyi puffed out his cheeks and hummed.

"Okay." Ning He pulled a chair and sat down, "I haven't eaten crabs for a long time, I'm really gluttonous when I say it, let me tell you, although I'm not used to eating other things in Wuzhou Mansion, but drunk crabs are really delicious, but it's not the season at that time, it's expensive and thin, and it's not fat enough." ”

"Sister-in-law Liu, I want to strangle him."

Ning He came and went to the government every day, had dinner, and went back at night, which had become a habit during this time.

The hired cook, the sister-in-law of the Liu family, didn't need to be instructed, and when she saw someone coming, she brought the meal.

Gongye Ziyi suddenly found the person complaining, pulled Sister-in-law Liu, and looked at Ning He viciously.

It's so annoying, the foot she was chasing at the time was about to smoke, this guy actually has the heart to eat crab in Wuzhou, just eat it, and now she is still hungry.

What a son of man!

"Huh." Sister-in-law Liu smiled and said nothing, put down the meal and left, so as not to get involved in their affairs.

Ning He also ignored her first, and let her show her teeth and claws on the side for a while, taking care of the joy she made.

It's not really crabs, but a few home-cooked side dishes, Gongye Ziyi keeps filial piety, doesn't eat meat, and is a vegetarian dish.

But Sister-in-law Liu's craftsmanship is really good, the color, flavor and shape are not bad, and Ning He is not a picky eater, so she soon all went down and cleaned a basin and a dry bowl.

"Little gourd sister, did you find it?"

After a while, Gongye Ziyi also returned to his normal shape and asked Ning He.

The little gourd is one of the five little girls, and it is also the one that Gongye Ziyi said was beaten at the time, but it is actually less than the cardamom years, and it is about the same size as the other little girls, but it has grown a lot taller.

At that time, Cheng Chen and a few people sent people to him, and after asking about their age, several people also muttered that profiteers were deceiving people.

Ning He also knew from a few people that there was a trend of raising thin horses in the Wujiang River Basin, all of which were raised from a young age, and after they were raised, they could get out of the hall, enter the account room, and warm their hearts, so the price was high.

Like Xiao Hulu, at a young age, he is one or two heads taller than his peers, which is basically no fun, if it is really cardamom, it is almost the same.

Her sister is the same, according to her, she is taller than Ning He, and she is strong in martial arts and extremely beautiful.

But if this size is true, it can't be sold at a big price when it is sold to Pinglang, so it was sold in Ying'an.

Their prison car was also told to Ning He by Xiao Hulu and her sister's appearance, hoping to let Ning He help her find her sister and reunite the sisters.

Ning He's investigation during this period of time was also based on this reason.

"I should have a clue, I'm going to check it out tonight."

Yongjiu also knew about it, so he sent a message to Ning He, and Ning He did interrogate and get some news.

It's just that he won't do it on the bright side, and he won't report it after finding out the specific situation.

"I'll go with you, don't try to throw me away this time." Gongye Ziyi suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Ning He with a threatening look in his eyes, and he had the intention of biting people if he didn't agree.

"Okay." Ning He shrugged and answered.
