"It's just a little more experience, and I don't deserve to be praised by Master Chen."

Yan Guang heard Chen Mu's words, his face softened a lot, and sure enough, Chen Mu was not only as rumored, he was young and talented, but he was also calm and peaceful, without any sense of youth and vigor.

The more this is the case, the more Yan Guang sighs why Chen Mu was not born in the Xue family, if Chen Mu's surname is Xue...... Well, the surname Yan is actually better.

"Lord Yan's dispatch has saved at least tens of thousands of households in Jingyu County from death and flooding, how can such a merit not be praised...... However, I walked all the way along the river, the terrain of these two places is too low-lying, if there is any more turmoil in the leyline, there will still be a risk of spreading to the west, so the nearest village here should also be temporarily moved, and another person should be ordered to go here to monitor day and night, and if there is any change, immediately notify and report, so that these villages further away will also immediately go up the mountain to take refuge. ”

Chen Mu responded, then pointed to the map and clicked twice in several places.

According to the overall situation of the entire Jingyu County, he does not plan to do more useless scheduling, but he came all the way, because he was on the scene in person, he had a clearer grasp of the actual situation in some places, and the details could still be added a lot.

Yan Guang glanced at the map, and immediately said, "Lord Chen is talking about ......"

Let's talk about it.

Then he turned his head to look at Jingyu County Order, and said in a deep voice: "Don't do it immediately!" ”

The Jingyu County Commander hurriedly responded, and then quickly went out.

Chen Mu looked at the map again, and felt that with the current situation, there was basically no problem, unless there were other leyline turbulences, but there were basically scouts in various places to investigate the situation, and they would report it immediately if there was a situation.

Jingyu County is the territory of the Xue family, Yan Guang is the in-law of the Xue family, and he is naturally conscientious here, as for Pingyu County, it belongs to the territory of the Xie family, according to some of the information he got before, as well as the situation here in Jingyu County, it should be about the same, even if the details are not all in place, but there is no problem in dealing with them in general.

"Alright, that's all for now."

Chen Mu finally looked at the map and stood up.

Seeing this, Yan Guang said: "Lord Chen is working hard, and the Zou County Order has arranged a courtyard for Lord Chen to rest in the back. ”

"No need, I'll go for a walk around the city."

Chen Mu shook his head.

Then he turned and walked out of the hall.

Yan Guang also followed beside him, sending Chen Mu out of the county government all the way, watching Chen Mu's back disappearing in the drizzle, then sighed, and then returned to the county government.

……

Chen Mu walked along the street, his eyes patrolling the surroundings, and suddenly said to the officials who followed behind him: "This Jingyu County, can there be a more famous smelter?" ”

Now that there is no need to meddle in the general affairs before there are new changes, then it is his turn to do trivial matters, and the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the piece of Xuanhuo Mine that he obtained earlier.

Taking this piece of Xuanhuo Mine to temper the Quicksilver Knife and forging it into a top-notch treasure weapon comparable to Cheng Houhua's Qinghan Sword will undoubtedly increase his strength a little, and it can also better deal with the tide disaster and other changes.

However, forging top treasures is not something that ordinary craftsmen can do, the smelters of the Yu family can barely do it, and the best thing is the smelting master 'Fang Yi' of the Yujun Smelting Division, who is said to be the person with the highest level among the smelting craftsmen of Yujun.

At this time, he was in Jingyu County, but he was beyond the reach of the whip, and it was impossible for him to run all the way back to Yucheng to forge a knife.

"Smelter?"

The official next to him was stunned for a moment, and then pondered: "Jingyu County has not set up a branch of the smelting department, and those craftsmen in the smelting shop outside also refine some ordinary knives...... Well, by the way, that one may still be in Jingyu County. ”

Chen Mu looked at the official and didn't ask questions, just waiting for his next step.

The official immediately recounted: "Lord Hui, Master Fang Yi of Yu County, was a native of Jingyu County when he was young, he used to work as a small worker under a smelter named 'Qi Ge', and later he was taken to the Smelting Division by someone from the county town after he practiced his smelting skills, but it is said that Master Fang Yi would come back to Jing Yu every year to visit that Qi Craftsman and respect him very much. ”

Speaking of this, he hesitated slightly, and said: "However, although Master Fang Yi was once the apprentice of the Qi Craftsman, but smelting this kind of thing, it is common for the blue to be better than the blue, and the smelting level of the Qi Craftsman may not be very high, maybe it is only that Master Fang Yi was taken care of by him when he was young, so he respects him very much, and now that the Qi Craftsman is over seventy years old, and he has long ceased to do the smelting business, even if he has a subtle level in the past, he may be ...... when he is older."

After listening to the description of the dismissed officials, Chen Mu roughly understood the situation.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Ask where this Qi Craftsman lives, and I'll pay a visit." ”

Indeed, as the entourage beside him said, the smelting level of that Qi craftsman may not be very high, and he is also very old, but it is not a big deal to take a look at it in the end.

"Yes."

The subordinate officials retreated, and soon came back again, and saluted: "Lord Hui, that Qi craftsman lives in Xiajing Street, not far from here, and I will show you the way." ”

Chen Mu bowed slightly, and then walked all the way along the streets and alleys, and after passing through more than a dozen streets and alleys in a row, he came to a relatively clean and quiet street and alley, and soon came to a courtyard.

At this time.

The official next to him stepped forward to call the door.

Chen Mu stretched out his hand to stop it, came to the door and knocked on the knocker twice, and soon the door was opened a gap, a little boy looked out timidly, and Chen Mu said to him calmly:

"Chen Mu, Supervision Department, come to visit."

“……”

The boy didn't speak, but quickly closed the door again, and then the footsteps went all the way away.

It didn't take long.

The door was opened again, and I saw an old man with silver hair walking out of the door, bowing respectfully to Chen Mu, and said, "The common people see Lord Dusi." ”

"Old gentleman doesn't have to be polite, do you recognize me?"

Chen Mu looked at Qi Ge and asked calmly, without letting him kneel down.

He only reported the name of 'Chen Mu of the Supervision Division' just now, but Qi Ge directly knew that he was the Supervision Division, which is normal in Yu County, but after all, this is the county government below, and he may not know the names of the officials above.

Qi Ge said respectfully: "Lord Hui, Yi Zeng came to visit me not long ago and told me some things about the county. ”

Chen Mu smiled and said straightforwardly: "I came here to ask Master Qi to forge a treasure for me......

said.

He casually took out the Xuanhuo Mine and put it in his palm.

When Ziggy saw it, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his old eyes, and he said:

"Xuanhuo Mine."

But after saying this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Don't dare to hide it, adult, in the next life of smelting forging, there is indeed some experience, if it was young, my disciple Fang Yi is not as accurate as my forging tool, but now that he is really old, forging treasure weapons is not impossible, but the level may not be as good as the current Fang Yi." ”

In front of others, he often said that his level was far inferior to Fang Yi, and Fang Yi had already been better than the blue, but in fact, it was just an argument that he didn't want to add any more trouble, and he didn't want people to come to his door from time to time to find him forging.

But Chen Mu is the director of the Supervision Department, he knows very well what Chen Mu's status is, in front of such a big man, that kind of shirking words naturally dare not say, can only tell the truth.

After hearing this, Chen Mu immediately smiled and said: "I heard people say that Mr. Qi often says that he is far inferior to the Fang Craftsman, and it is really a humble word, since it is 'maybe not as good', that is, 'maybe' is still higher than the Fang Craftsman." ”

Qi Ge smiled bitterly and said, "Now that he is indeed old, he may not be able to compare with Fang Yi." ”

Qiang.

Chen Mu took out the quicksilver knife he was carrying, handed it over, and said, "There is no need for Old Mr. Qi to forge it from scratch, just use the Xuanhuo Ore to quench this knife and integrate the Xuanhuo Ore into it to make it have a trace of scorching characteristics." ”

"Hmm."

Ziggy stretched out his hand to take the quicksilver knife, then stretched out his fingers and flicked it on the blade, accompanied by a crisp buzz, and said: "This knife is already very well forged, there are almost no flaws, but it shouldn't have come from the hands of my disciple, if it was just quenching and melting fire, I would still be a little sure that it would be better than him." ”

Chen Mu arched his hand at Qi Ge and said, "Please also ask Mr. Qi to make a move." ”

Ziggy hurriedly lowered the knife in his hand and said, "I can't afford to be invited by an adult, since it is an adult's order, then I should do my best to do it...... In fact, if it were a few years later, the old man, I might really not be able to forge artifacts anymore. ”

Chen Mu said: "What kind of reward does Mr. Qi want?" ”

When Zigger heard this, he sighed and said: "How dare you ask for retribution for doing things for adults, but it's a pity that my son can't learn thirty percent of my skills, even if he has Fang Yi to help, he can't find an errand for the smelting division......"

Chen Mu said lightly: "I will say hello to the smelting department, but if you want to join the smelting department as an errand, you have to sit up from the bottom, and how far you can go in the future depends on his ability." ”

Qi Ge can cultivate a disciple like Fang Yi, no matter how bad the son is, he will have at least some level, and it is nothing to enter the smelting division, but ordinary people want to enter the smelting division, unless the smelting level reaches the level of Fang Yi, otherwise it is basically not possible to enter, after all, the treatment is far better than the errand of the city guard, and he can live in the inner city of Yu City.

"Thank you for your support, the old man will definitely forge a good knife for your lordship!"

Ziggy knelt down again.

However, this time Chen Mu did not support.

After Qi Ge had saluted, Chen Mu glanced at Qi Ge's courtyard and said, "Where is the old gentleman going to forge?" ”

Qi Ge said respectfully: "It's okay to go to the smelting shop on South Street, but if you are an adult, you should be able to requisition the smelting platform in the county government?" ”

"Let's go."

Chen Mu nodded slightly, then turned around and went back to the county office.

Zig took a deep breath at this time, whispered a command to the little boy behind him, and then held Chen Mu's quicksilver knife and the piece of dark iron ore, wrapped it around his clothes, and quickly followed.
