Chapter 9: The Prince's Order
"The ancient artifact, the bow of Qianyi, only costs five hundred and one pairs, and if you don't buy it, you won't have it!"
"The bow and arrow that Xianzun has used are absolutely superb, I don't regret buying it, don't be fooled!"
"The ancestral heavenly bow, made of spirit stones, this is the only one, three hundred taels can be taken away!"
"This bow is from the hand of the refining master, and it has shot and injured the divine beast, and one hundred or two taels have been sold!"
......
On the streets, the vendors each blew their bows and arrows in their hands, shouting wave after wave, as if they were divine weapons in their hands, and other people's were broken copper and iron.
Ye Feng and Zhao Xiaoyue traveled to more than a dozen shops in a row, but they didn't find a satisfactory bow and arrow, in his previous life, Ye Feng had studied refining weapons, and he could distinguish ordinary weapons at a glance.
"Big brother, let's go to that store and have a look, I heard that this is the biggest merchant in the city!" In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, Zhao Xiaoyue pointed to a building called "Royal Weapons".
"Hmm!" Ye Feng nodded, but he didn't have much hope, there were very few things in the world that could be favored by him.
"Big brother, it's so lively ahead!" When the two of them were about to arrive at the armory store, they were attracted by a group of people at the door.
"Wild boy from there, hurry up and pack up the toys on the ground and get out of here early!"
"Please, give me a little more time, as soon as I sell these bows and arrows, I'll leave immediately!"
"You can see clearly, this is a royal weapons shop, and the store has a rule that you are not allowed to sell things at the door!"
"Please, just let me sell two, no, one will do, my mother and I haven't eaten for a few days!"
"Whether your family eats or not, what does it matter to me, besides, these toys of yours, even if they are placed here for a day, no one will patronize them!"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense with him, just blast it away!"
......
I saw a little boy with a lot of patches and messy hair, sitting on the ground, with a coarse cloth next to it, on which were placed some simple small bows made of bamboo strips and strings.
Around it, there were some cold-eyed spectators, and a few murderous-looking shopkeepers, pointing at them and about to make a move.
"These little guys actually bullied a little child, and they are angry with their aunt and grandmother!" Zhao Xiaoyue was angry, and her jade hand was clenched, ready to fight unevenly.
"Let me come!" Ye Feng grabbed Zhao Xiaoyue, made a look, walked into the crowd, and said loudly: "Cough, Lang Lang Qiankun, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you are a big group of gentlemen, and you don't feel ashamed of bullying a child, I am ashamed of you!"
"The nosy ...... out there!" The guys heard the voice, and just wanted to get angry, when they saw that Ye Feng was well-dressed and extraordinary, they immediately changed to a smiling face, and one of them arched his hand and said: "This son, in fact, we don't want to, but there are rules in the store, we are not allowed to sell at the door, we are just ordered to do things!"
"Hmm!" Ye Feng was indifferent, there was no need to worry about these people, he squatted down and looked at the children on the ground, "Little friend, these beautiful bows and arrows are all made by you?"
"Yes, big brother, do you want to buy it, I'm very cheap, one or two silver!" The little boy felt that Ye Feng was different from those guys, giving people a sense of intimacy.
"Of course I want to buy it, it's a pity not to buy such a good-looking bow and arrow!" Ye Feng showed a sweet smile, took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from the space ring, and handed them over, "I counted them, there are ten bows and arrows in total, I want them all, press one hundred taels of silver, a total of one thousand taels!"
"I can't help it, I can't help it!" the little boy saw so many big silver tickets, and waved his hand vigorously, "I only need to earn a few taels of silver, enough for me and my mother to have a full meal!"
"It's okay, you take it!" Ye Feng forced the silver ticket into the palm of the little boy's hand, this child was only ten years old, so sensible, it was inevitable to feel pity.
"Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother!" The little boy hurriedly fell to the ground and kept kowtowing, "Today's grace, Xiaoyu I will remember it for a lifetime, and I will never forget it!"
"Hurry up, please do it!" Ye Feng helped him up, groaned, and took out a black token engraved with the word 'five' from his sleeve and put it into the little boy's hand, "If you still have any difficulties in the future, take this sign to the Five Princes' Mansion to find me!"
"The Prince's Order, Five-Five-Five...... The five princes!" The people around saw the token clearly, and immediately showed a look of horror, and then lay on the ground in unison, a little uneasy, "Bye, bye, bye meet the five princes, just now the little people have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and they are offended, I hope the five princes will forgive, so let the boys be a fart!"
Seeing the order is like seeing people, everyone in Ye Zhiguo knows that the emperor once asked people to use the best black iron to create six tokens, which were engraved with the words 'one' to 'six', and issued them to each prince, representing everyone's identity.
When those people saw the prince's order with 'five' written on it, and then thought of the appearance of the five princes rumored by the folk, they immediately guessed Ye Feng's identity.
As for why the token is made of 'iron' instead of other better metals, there are certain regulations.
In the Xianwu Continent, each force has a hierarchy, from high to low: gold, silver, bronze, black iron, and gray earth, no matter which force, the token made must be consistent with the level, which is a symbol of strength.
If someone finds out that the faction does not make tokens according to the level, it will be killed by the joint efforts of the major forces.
Ye Zhiguo currently belongs to the black iron level, so the tokens made must be made of 'iron' metal.
"Five Princes?" Xiaoyu rubbed her hand back and forth on the token, her eyes showing a strange look.
"You all get up, remember, let me see you bullying children in the future, don't blame me for being unkind to you!" Ye Feng beckoned, and turned to Xiaoyu again, "You go home early, your mother is still waiting for you to take care of it!"
Xiaoyu stared at Ye Feng carefully, didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something, and finally nodded silently, put away the silver ticket and the prince's order, and ran away.
This was just a small episode, and soon passed, Ye Feng and Zhao Xiaoyue entered the Royal Weapons Shop in the eyes of everyone.
"Big brother, why do you give the prince token to others casually, it is a symbol of the prince's status, the emperor knows about this, and he will definitely punish you again!" Zhao Xiaoyue blinked her eyes and asked.
"It's just a piece of iron, it's useless to keep it, and when others ask, they say it's lost!" Ye Feng disagreed, if Xiaoyu didn't return the token, it would mean that there was nothing wrong, and he would feel at ease, on the contrary, if Xiaoyu took the token to find himself, it means that he encountered difficulties, and he could also help again.
While speaking, Ye Feng observed the entire armory shop, there were two floors here, on the first floor, there were many vendors occupying a small area, selling bows and arrows, the price ranged from dozens to hundreds, there was not much difference.
A divine sense swept away, Ye Feng shook his head, these bows and arrows are okay to hunt, but when they encounter a real powerhouse, they are useless, so the bows and arrows of the first layer are not what he wants.
