Chapter 048 Mr. Tea
Beijing, Tongfu Inn.
The innkeeper yawned, watching the people in and out of the Rifle Inn opposite, and the business was booming, and then looking at his own inn, although there were many individual customers, but it was much worse in comparison.
Thinking about the difference between the two inns, the size and location of the inns are about the same, why can he get the Holy Appointment when he comes to the Fu Inn, and I don't have such a good treatment across the street from the Fu Inn?
The more the shopkeeper thought about it, the more angry he became, and even his voice became much louder: "Xiao Er, hurry up and clean up the guest room, do you still want to get paid?"
At that moment, a man of about thirty years old walked in and knocked on the counter.
"Knock what knock. The shopkeeper looked up angrily, but saw that the popularity of the person in front of him was extraordinary, especially the pair of Danfeng eyes, which were blazing, and when he stared at him, he felt like a thorn in his back.
After all, the shopkeeper is the shopkeeper, and this person seemed to be extraordinary before meeting, and his tone immediately softened: "Yo, guest officer, stay in the hotel or eat?"
The man subconsciously stroked his cuffs and said indifferently: "Find me a private room, it should be facing the door of the Rifle Inn, and it should be quiet and no one will disturb you, and I have a friend who is going to come later, just tell him the room when you come, and you don't need to deliberately order someone to bring it." ”
The shopkeeper saw his action of brushing his cuffs, and his heart was shocked, this action is not only for officials wearing official uniforms with big cuffs, but also for those wealthy businessmen who have a lot of money to do, this person in front of him is a bookish and angry, obviously not like a businessman, is it a Beijing official?
This time, the shopkeeper didn't dare to make a mistake, so he hurriedly found a private room in person, personally served tea, and drank back and forth to send drinks and snacks, so he returned to the shopkeeper with peace of mind, and carefully paid attention to the people who came in and out, for fear of accidentally looking away at the character's friend.
After a while, an old man in tattered clothes walked in, with three long swords behind his back, his face and beard were particularly conspicuous, and he also had a broken arm.
Since it's not like it, the tone can be a little horizontal!
"Hey, hey, stay in a hotel or eat, we are a first-class inn here, and the price is not cheap. ”
The one-armed old man glanced at him.
Just a glance, the shopkeeper suddenly shuddered, how could this look be so cold, colder than the cold ice of the cold winter wax moon!
"I'm looking for someone!"
"Find... Looking for someone?" the shopkeeper didn't react for a moment.
The one-armed old man didn't say a word more, but there was a strange aura on his body that made the shopkeeper feel frightened, this feeling was indescribable, he had seen a murderous general passing by, and he had this feeling from him, and the person in front of him seemed to have this feeling even worse.
The shopkeeper didn't ask again, and thought about it in his mind, the only one who was waiting for someone at the moment was that noble son.
"Upstairs turn left into the second wing, Childe is waiting for you. ”
The one-armed old man went straight upstairs, his footsteps landing on the wooden staircase without the slightest sound, like a ghost.
Tang Mingli tasted his own tea, his eyes stared at the door of the inn opposite, his face was expressionless, at this time, the door made a sound, and an old man stood at the door.
"Sir is here, please. Tang Mingli hurriedly got up, greeted the door, and closed the door.
"I'm tired of waiting for a long time. ”
"Sir's words are serious, it is an honor to wait for Mr. Tang Mingli said with a smile.
The old man glanced at Tang Mingli, he knew that the young man in front of him seemed to be weak and looked like a literati, but he was a person with great determination and scheming, even if he had walked in the world for decades, he had never seen such a deep-minded person.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Sir, don't worry, let's drink tea first. ”
Seeing Tang Mingli walking leisurely as if everything was under control, the one-armed old man's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Boy, although I promised you to do three things for you, if you think I can use it for you, then you have to weigh how many lives your Tang family has, I didn't destroy your whole family back then, but it wasn't because I pity you." ”
Tang Mingli's pupils shrank, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said lightly: "Sir's words are too radical, I didn't want to use you for me, nor did I forget our agreement, I just wanted to talk about my friendship with Mr., after all, three things have been done, I will hand over the "Daimyo Sword Post" to you, and when the time comes, Mr. may still hinder the friendship between the two of us, and he will not kill the Tang family." ”
The one-armed old man smiled: "Back then, for the sake of the "Daimyo Sword Post", I almost slaughtered your Tang family, this account, with your heart, will you befriend me? Don't worry, although I don't follow common sense, I don't do treacherous things." ”
Tang Mingli smiled, took a sip of bitter tea, remembered the old things six years ago, and his eyes couldn't help but turn cold, but this subtle change was extremely inconspicuous, even the one-armed old man didn't see it.
After a moment of silence, the one-armed old man took a sip of the tea bowl.
"What do you think of this tea, sir?"
"The old man only knows how to kill people with a sword, this tea soup just quenches his thirst, who cares if he is good or not!"
Tang Mingli shook his head: "Sir, this is wrong, this tea is a holy gift, a first-class tribute, a small drink a day can relieve sleepiness and clear heat, but it is a good thing." ”
"What about the Emperor's gift, to me it is a few leaves. The one-armed old man slapped the bowl on the table and made a dull sound.
Tang Mingli's face sank, and he didn't say anything more, but he no longer had the heart to taste tea, and he also put down the tea bowl and said: "Mr. said back then, "Daimyo Sword Post" is worth you to do three things for me, you have done one for me three years ago, and now I have a small matter here that needs Mr. help." ”
"Say!"
"I'd like to ask Sir to help me keep an eye on someone. ”
"Who is it?"
Tang Mingli raised his head, looked at the door of the Laifu Inn, and said lightly: "It's here!"
......
Zhang Shaoyang hurriedly packed his bags, thinking about going back to Luoyang to learn swords, in the past, Zhang Shaoyang was bound to play in the capital, but this time he was going to leave the next day, which made the idiot a little surprised, I didn't expect that the guy who has always been greedy for fun has such a big determination?
But the idiot doesn't think Zhang Shaoyang's enthusiasm can last long, even if he can persevere, the sword immortal seniors can accept him as an apprentice?
It can be seen that Zhang Shaoyang vowed to become a generation of swordsmen, and he couldn't bear to fight, so he had to follow Zhang Shaoyang's thoughts, and the two of them took care of the burden and left Beijing with Malaysia.
The two gradually walked away, and a one-armed old man appeared on the street at some point, he looked at the back of the two leaving, and said lightly: "You want me to taste the tea given by the emperor!"
After speaking, he did not follow Zhang Shaoyang and the others, but turned around and strode away in the opposite direction, which was the place where the vision appeared the day before yesterday.
There are 1,000 famous swords in the world, and there are 800 sword furnaces!
How can there be 1,000 famous swords in the world? Counting those who are on the sword list, counting the few civil officials who are in the middle of the court and the central government, and those who are unwilling to be born in the rivers and lakes and in the market, a total of 100 will reach the top.
After all, a famous sword is a famous sword, how dare you say that it is a famous sword with a broken copper and broken iron?
But it is precisely because of this that it shows the bullish spirit of the sword furnace in the world, almost half of the famous swords are from the sword furnace in the world, the Bailu sword that ranks first, and a water-breaking sword that is known for its sharpness, and even the big evil sword in the hands of Fourth Uncle Ding is also from the hand of the sword furnace.
The rule of the sword furnace is to forge swords for the swordsmen of the world!
There is one more rule.
Those who are destined for famous swords will not take a penny, but the inferior sword will receive some silver.
The so-called inferior sword, that is also the best in the folk swords, the sons and scholars love to wear the sword furnace of the sword, just because the sword is engraved with the words "Haoran righteousness", which coincides with the gentleman's pursuit of the reader.
These four characters are not ordinary sword-casting shops can be carved, and some people imitate and make some imitations, none of which have the charm of the sword furnace, so the inferior sword of the sword furnace can also be sold for tens of taels to hundreds of taels of silver.
The sword furnace is a hundred miles west of the capital, at this time in the largest sword furnace, the black and yellow essence wanders back and forth in the air, chasing up and down, and in the sword furnace, an extremely hot breath burns the air and deforms, and there is an extremely ordinary sword in the furnace sinking and floating.
Suddenly, the speed of the black gas in the air surged, and in a blink of an eye, the yellow gas seemed to have spirituality, and when he saw that he couldn't avoid it, he plunged into the sword furnace below, and the black gas chased after him.
I only heard a muffled sound of "bang", and the huge sword furnace trembled a few times.
"Master, the sword is about to be completed. A little sword boy shouted happily.
"The sword made by Xuanhuang Erqi is going to be a sword. ”
