Northern Liang Palace.

In a side hall.

Xiao Daocheng sat quietly on the dragon chair, looked at the middle-aged man below who was dressed as an official of the Imperial City Division, and asked with a gloomy expression, "Have you found Zhao Ding?" ”

"No.... No. ”

Hearing Xiao Daocheng's words, the middle-aged man wearing the robe of the Imperial City official stammered, and replied with some fear in his eyes.

"Bastard!"

Xiao Daocheng burst into a loud shout, "What are you people from the Imperial City Division doing to eat?" I can't find any Zhao Ding.

Today, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out! ”

Xiao Daocheng was furious.

Now is the critical moment for him to negotiate with Dayu, Zhao Ding must be, without Zhao Ding, the bargaining chips in his hand will be less than half!

Only if he is ambiguous with Da Qian, Da Yu will really be willing to give enough plus, and it is most beneficial to have a strong beam with him.

"Yes."

Hearing Xiao Daocheng's words, the middle-aged man wearing the clothes of an official of the Imperial City Division hurriedly responded respectfully and withdrew.

Not long after the middle-aged man left, an attendant hurriedly ran in.

"What kind of system is it that is panicked?"

Xiao Daocheng looked at the chamberlain with a displeased expression.

The chamberlain swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took out a red notebook from his sleeve, and respectfully handed it to Xiao Daocheng: "Your Majesty, this is the resignation letter that Yang Fu Yang Ge of the Great Cadre has just sent someone to hand over. ”

This red recital is naturally the resignation letter that Zhao Ding asked Yang Fu to write on the carriage that day

"Resignation? What is he going to do? ”

Xiao Daocheng raised his eyebrows, looked at the waiter with a slight squint, stretched out his hand to take the resignation letter in the waiter's hand, and said with a smile: "Good boy, put pressure on me." ”

After speaking, he threw the red notebook in his hand on the table, and ordered: "Tell Yang Fu that I have not been in good health in the past few days, and let him tell Zhao Ding about the alliance, and I will talk about it in a few days." ”

"Yes."

Hearing Xiao Daocheng's words, the chamberlain immediately bowed down and walked out.

After watching the waiter walk out, Xiao Daocheng sat alone on the dragon chair, looked at the darkening sky in the distance and muttered to himself: "On the one hand, I will disappear, and on the other hand, I will hand in my resignation, Zhao Ding, Zhao Ding, what are you playing with me?" ”

Originally, he thought that Zhao Ding avoided the eyes of the Imperial City Division and secretly disappeared because he went to the place of the Forge Soldier Valley, wanting to seek the smelting technique of his Great Liang.

But that doesn't seem to be the case today.

……

"Childe, this is it."

Outside Luoyang City, a street is okay, but it is not much bustling.

Tian Hu took Zhao Ding to stand in front of a seemingly ordinary ironware shop.

At this moment, Zhao Ding and Tian Hu had already changed their clothes.

Zhao Ding's clothes looked like a rich son, his handsome facial features were covered by an almost invisible human skin mask, and he turned into a young man with a somewhat gloomy face, while Tian Hu became a strong man with a dog around his body and a more ordinary face.

At this moment, there was also a young man with an obscene face beside Zhao Ding and Tian Hu.

At this moment, he was standing at the door of the store, looking at Zhao Ding and Tian Hu with a smile.

This young man is none other than Tian Hu's insider, and he is also the person who provided Tian Hu with the address of this blacksmith shop.

"This is it?"

Zhao Ding raised his brows and glanced at it curiously, this old and unlooked ironware shop.

Originally, in his conjecture, this kind of place should be outside the city, so that it could be discovered and retreated in time.

But now it seems that he is thinking too much.

And the people behind the scenes are obviously much more daring than him.

Standing in the doorway, he glanced into the store again.

Most of them were some agricultural tools, and there were only a small number of swordsmen, but even these few swords were basically things that were old, and the scabbards and scabbards were covered with thick dust.

I don't see the slightest peculiarity.

As for the armor, there is none.

Because whether it is in Daliang or Daqian, or in other places, it is a felony to hide armor privately!

Seeing the arrival of Zhao Ding and the three of them, inside the store, a woman about fifty years old walked out with a smile: "This master, the first time you come to us, it's normal not to know about our store, but I will wait for the master to see the real good things, I promise that you will definitely come back for the second time." ”

"Really?"

Zhao Ding smiled playfully.

"Naturally, it's serious, I have things here, but it's a good thing that ordinary people can't buy if they want to, as for these outside, it's just to deal with people outside.

Just come with me. ”

The woman, who was about fifty years old, said with a very sophisticated smile.

"Okay, as long as the things are good enough, the silver will naturally be yours."

Saying that, Zhao Ding directly took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his sleeve and placed it on the counter of this shop.

Looking at this scene, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she didn't look at Zhao Ding more.

Then he ran forward quickly, arrived at the door of the store, and closed the door.

Looking at this scene, looking at the dim lights in the store.

Zhao Ding always had a strange feeling.

Probably that's the only thing the two worlds have in common.......

After closing the door, the woman, who was about fifty years old, stepped forward with a smile, threw an eyebrow at Zhao Ding, shook her body, and slowly walked to the store.

After entering the dark passages again.

With a secret door opening.

Boom!

Zhao Ding's eyes suddenly lit up.

A wide hall covering an area of 100 meters appeared in front of Zhao Ding's eyes.

Inside, there are neat rows of weapon racks.

And on these weapon racks, they are polished and shiny, and the swords or swords that shimmer with cold light are very few of the guns and hammers commonly used on the battlefield.

But even looking at these polished swords, or long swords, it also made Zhao Ding's eyes shine.

The quality of these swords is not only better than the standard long knives in the army of Daqian today, but also a few points better than the sabers used by his Youzhou army.

"Can you try the knife?"

Zhao Dingqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at the woman who was about fifty years old and asked.

"Naturally, you can."

Hearing Zhao Ding's words, the woman smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to signal Zhao Ding to take it from the shelf casually.

Zhao Ding was not polite, took a knife casually, and then looked at Tian Hu.

Tian Hu was also frightened by the scene in front of him.

Seeing Zhao Ding lift the knife, he came back to his senses and took out his saber.

Bang!

A sound of fine iron resonated.

The saber in Tian Hu's hand was directly broken with a hard sound, but the knife in Zhao Ding's hand was just a gap in the blade.

"Good knives!"

Zhao Ding couldn't help but sigh in admiration!

Due to the problem of process.

In this era, many knives have relatively high greed, so they are easy to break, but now the knife in his hand can't be better, just a gap in the blade.

From Zhao Ding's point of view, the carbon content in it is only far lower than the saber forged by the casting method used by the current Daqian!
