Chapter 124: The Blacksmith
Blacksmith Li had been in Taiqing City for several years, and he was destitute at that time.
However, it was by virtue of his excellent iron-striking skills that he liked to mention the blacksmith through his own efforts.
The new man who strikes iron has a career in his right hand and a ...... in his left hand In short, he is enthusiastic and generous, full of youth, and the purpose of opening an iron shop is to let everyone on the rivers and lakes have weapons!
On this day, he was sitting in the bunk and napping, when two guests came in at the door.
One of them was a young man in a green shirt, and the other was a lazy Taoist girl in a water-blue robe.
Blacksmith Li's eyes lit up, what a handsome offspring!
As for the beautiful Dao Gu next to him, he didn't care at all.
"This boy, I don't know what weapon you want? I'm not bragging, I have everything here!" blacksmith Li patted his chest.
"I'll take a casual look first. Wu Qian smiled.
As soon as he entered the blacksmith shop, his eyes were firmly fixed on the empty cuffs on Blacksmith Li's left hand.
has a relationship with Ye Qingxuan, one-armed...... Could it be that this guy is ......
Wu Qian arched his hand: "I don't know the old brother's surname?"
The blacksmith smiled and said, "Childe is polite, my surname is Li, and my name is Zongrui." Your name is my Lao Li. ”
Li Zongrui...... Wu Qian smiled, this guy is the first suspect and didn't run away!
"I'm a little curious, please don't blame Brother Li. Wu Qian swept the weapons in the shop back and forth, and asked quietly: "I don't know how my brother's arm ......?"
"Hey, there's nothing that can't be said about that. Li Zongrui sighed and said: "When I was young, I learned to strike iron, and once I accidentally knocked over a bucket of molten iron, and the molten iron melted my left arm. ”
"The molten iron melts ......" Wu Qian said quietly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked, but it reminded my brother of something sad." ”
The blacksmith's answer was natural, but ...... Why did he wear a caftan instead of a short fight in such a hot part of the blacksmith's shop, unless he wanted to hide something. Like what...... The left arm was severed, and there was a neat wound. 】
"I won't talk about the past. The blacksmith smiled, "What weapon does Childe want?"
"Sword. Wu Qian said seriously: "I want a sword that can kill, three feet and seven inches long, and the blade should not be too wide, I wonder if there is a ready-made sword here?"
"This ......," the blacksmith muttered slightly, "There is no ready-made, but there are similar sword embryos in the shop, and I can forge them." If Childe buys sincerely, he will pick it up tomorrow. By the way, the deposit is ten taels of silver. ”
"Okay, then it's decided, I'll come and get my sword early tomorrow morning. After Wu Qian finished speaking, he turned back to Zhang Yu and said, "Immortal Gu, can you put a deposit on the lower pad for the time being, and return the money to you later in the future." ”
Zhang Yu took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the blacksmith, and said suspiciously: "It's okay to have money or something, but we don't have anything important to do, how can we have time to get the sword tomorrow?"
Wu Qian replied: "There is no need to worry about that matter, you can do it tomorrow, and the next person can come here to get the sword." ”
He noticed a detail in the hands of the blacksmith Lee...... It's the other way around.
"This ......" Zhang Yu was about to ask again, but saw Wu Qiao's smiling eyes.
She remembered the sugar gourd before, and Wu Qian was like this at that time.
So she bowed her head and pretended to be dead, and kept silent.
"Then I will take my leave. Wu Qian arched his hand and turned to leave.
Zhang Yu slowly followed him out of the blacksmith shop.
Behind him, Blacksmith Li watched them leave with a smile on his face, and then went back to the back room to find the sword embryo.
.........
"Donor, do you know something?" On the way back to the mountain, Zhang Yu was slightly curious.
Wu Qian turned his head and saw that she tilted her head slightly, her half-open eyes were full of confusion, and he couldn't help but smile: "Guess." ”
"......" Zhang Yu ignored him, turned his head, and walked silently towards the mountain.
"Okay, okay, I'll get to the point. Seeing that she was angry, Wu Qian said with a smiling face: "This blacksmith has a problem, he is one-armed." ”
"So?" Zhang Yu didn't know why.
"Immortal Gu, do you know what Brother Dao regrets the most in his life?" Wu Qian said on an irrelevant topic.
"What don't you know, he met a whore before, and he cut off his arm and begged for mercy, and he relented for a moment and let the thief go. As a result, after he left, the thief came back and insulted a woman, causing the woman to hang herself......" Zhang Yu's eyes widened suddenly: "You mean ......"
"Yes, I suspect that this blacksmith Li is the thief. Wu Qian Chengzhu in his chest: "As the saying goes, the more dangerous the place, the safer, he hid in Taiqing City, although Brother Dao has been here, but the weapons of your faction are issued from inside the door, and he does not need to go to the blacksmith shop to buy weapons." ”
He looked at the Taiqing Sect Mountain Gate in front of him, and said leisurely: "Besides, in such a hot blacksmith shop, he is wearing a long robe. Fairy Gu, have you ever heard of a blacksmith wearing a long robe? In my second thought, he must have been trying to cover up the shape of the wound on his severed arm. ”
Zhang Yu was puzzled: "Since the master knows, why ......?"
Why didn't you kill him?
"Because this is Brother Dao's inner demon. Wu Qian glanced at her: "This is the tool that Ziyang Zhenren left for Brother Dao to cast his heart, in order to prevent him from running away, presumably Ziyang Zhenren used some method to let him stay in Taiqing City with peace of mind." For example, they think that he has reformed and therefore is not guilty of what he has done in the past. ”
"Master, he's just an old Taoist priest who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles and smokes every day, at most his martial arts are more powerful, how can he ......," Zhang Yu muttered.
She felt that her three views had been turned upside down.
Wu Qian said helplessly: "My stupid fairy aunt...... Your sect suffered a catastrophe decades ago, and most of the masters in the sect were killed and injured. If Ziyang Zhenren is really that kind of good person, then why is the Taiqing faction still as stable as Mount Tai for decades? Don't follow me because your Taiqing faction is popular. ”
"Brother Wu......" Zhang Yu bit his lip and said confusedly: "What should Xiaodao do......"
Suddenly learning that her master was not as arrogant as she imagined, Zhang Yu's heart was confused, she subconsciously grabbed the nearest life-saving straw, and even the title was a lot closer.
Wu Qiang smiled: "Everything is fine as usual, how was it in the past, and what will happen in the future." ”
"But ......"
Wu Qian interrupted her: "But what? I can see that Ziyang Zhenren is really good to you, and he is also really thinking about the Taiqing faction." If this is the case, then what does it matter to him to the outside world. Do you think he's always been a disguise for his kindness to you?"
"yes. Zhang Yu smiled with relief: "That's enough." ”
"So what do we do now?"
"Stay and ask Brother Dao in the next moment, and let him make a decision. Presumably, this is also the idea of Ziyang Zhenren. Wu Qiang's eyes flashed with wisdom.
However, after returning to the mountain and meeting with Ye Qingxuan and others......
"What? You said that the thief had his right arm cut off?" Wu was shocked.
"Yes, is there any problem?" Ye Qingxuan was puzzled.
"......" Wu Qian touched his chin.
[Could it be that I am wrong?]
