When the red sun is over, stirring people's tiredness, the people of the whole 'Ten Mile Street' are either hiding under umbrellas to enjoy the shade, or hiding in the tea shed to drink tea and listen to books, but a man at the east end of the street seems to be not afraid of the scorching heat, walking alone under the scorching sun. The man looked left and right a few times, and suddenly found the signboard of the Jiuyuan blacksmith shop, so he walked straight to this side, this man was wearing a gray linen robe, about thirty years old, with a knife hanging from his waist, and his not handsome face was covered with dust, and he couldn't see his expression.

The old man caught a glimpse of the guest, patted his buttocks, and stood up, he got up and pulled out a sleeve tucked around his waist, and shook it in the air, it turned out that the old man was missing an arm.

"Uncle, do you have any hidden weapons for sale here?" the man asked, speaking quite politely.

The old man said, "What kind of secret weapon does the guest officer want?"

The man said: "Is there a hidden weapon like a flying cone?"

"Yes, wait a minute. The old man turned to the inner room and shouted, "Xuechen, take a few flying cones out." The inner room answered, and in a short time, a sturdy young man came out, holding three or four kinds of flying cones wrapped in cloth, and he spread them out and laid them on the table one by one. The man took the flying cones in his hand one by one and weighed them, and then tried to beat them out, and the old man tucked his sleeves back into his waist, and did not speak, leaving the man to choose by himself.

The man shook his head after trying three or four kinds of flying cones, but he was not satisfied, and the young man named Xuechen asked with a smile: "Is the guest officer used to teach apprentices to practice or to prevent thieves? Generally, beginners practice on weekdays, and most of them choose blunt and lighter ones, so as not to bruise their hands or injure people by mistake......

The man picked up another one and tried it, shaking his head.

Xuechen said: "If you are a friend who walks a dart, you are used to using a dart that has some weight, but is not too sharp, which can not only knock down the opponent, but also not hurt people's lives......

The man didn't pick up the stubble, and said to the old man: "The weight is too light, is there anything heavier?"

The old man was slightly surprised, entered the house and took two flying cones and handed them over, the man saw that the two flying cones were one black, one was silvery, the black one was like a cast iron casting, the silver should be made of stainless steel, the two flying cones were the same size and shape, about half of the palm length, the tip of the cone was sharp and abnormal, the tip of the tip was slightly thicker, and the tail was tapering, the man was a secret weapon expert, and at first sight he knew that it was different from the previous one, and immediately took it, and weighed it in his hand, the front was heavy and the back was light, very competent.

The man nodded and asked, "How do you sell these two kinds of flying cones?"

The old man said: "Two of the same price, three coins of silver." ”

The man was stunned for a moment before he said, "It's not cheap." ”

Before the old man could speak, Xuechen preemptively said: "This is built by my father himself, the quasi-head is very easy to grasp, the tip of the cone is extremely hard and sharp, and the hand strength can penetrate the armor." ”

The man said: "The thing is good, it's the price......"

Xuechen said: "Guest officer, you can't save money on weapons, if you take a dart, think about the goods of a dart, it is worth more than 100 taels of silver, in case of an accident, fight off the thieves early, and the money will come back if you are injured in a few trips, if you open a martial arts hall, you must pay more attention to it, and this hidden weapon can be picked up and used again, don't you buy a better crooked head and lose the tip of the tip are not all picks." ”

The man said, "Okay, let's take fifty pieces each." "He is a man of knowledge, and he knows the old man's intention to make the two kinds of flying cones into one light and one dark, and this alone is worth three coins of silver. You must know that you can wear and live poorly in the walking martial arts, but the sword and hidden weapon are not half a point, and what Xuechen said is not bad.

The old man said: "There are few people who use these two kinds of flying cones, only ninety of each of them were played at the beginning, and now there are only thirty pieces of each one left, if the guest officer uses more, you can wait a few days, let me build some more." ”

The man said, "Well, that's the best." He immediately paid a fixed sum of ten taels of silver. Xuechen took all the two kinds of flying cones from the inner room, separated them and wrapped them in two packets of cloth, and handed them to the man, who took it, turned around and was about to leave, but ran into two people walking towards him.

The two men were of great stature, with swords at their waists, and were dressed in great sumptuous clothes, each dressed in satin, and each had several monsters embroidered on their sleeves that looked like rats and not rats.

The clothes of these two people are embroidered with flying beavers, which are generally worn by the military attachés of the seventh rank of the imperial court, but the general military attache uniform has a patch on the chest, and the beaver is embroidered on the complement, and there is no complement on the clothes of these two people, and the military attache of the imperial court only has the official uniform of the 'Golden Guard' without embroidering the patch, but the grade is still related to the embroidered animal patterns, like the 'Golden Guard' Xiaoling This level of the general will wear such clothes. The man seemed to recognize the official uniforms of the two, and took a step to the side, about to walk by. The two 'golden-clothed guards' stretched out their hands to block the man, and one of the shorter 'golden-clothed guards' asked, "Which sect are you from? What are you doing here?" Carrying a knife to the blacksmith shop is either a person from the martial arts or a farmer at the yamen who farms the land, and he is never dressed like this, in the capital, this kind of person has not 100,000 but 80,000, which is really ordinary.

The man said: "Back to my lord, I am the dart master in the dart game, and the darts in the game are used up, so I will stop by to buy some." ”

"Which dart game are you from, and who is your chief dart leader?" asked the 'Golden Guard' again.

The man said: "'Xingyuan Dart Bureau', our general dart head is surnamed Xiao." "The tall 'Golden Guard''s face seemed to move.

"'Xingyuan Dart Game'?" he repeated, turning to another, taller 'Golden Guard' and asking, "Is there such a dart game?"

The 'Golden Guard' (Gao) Qi said: "Don't you know?" 'Xingyuan Dart Bureau' is very famous in the Qindu generation of Tangzhou, and their chief dart head Xiao Junyao once picked eight cottages with a 'red lip and red pen', and opened up the road between 'Big Dragon City', 'Little Dragon City', 'Flying Dragon City' and Qindu, and its name in the rivers and lakes is very loud, and I heard that it has also opened a branch in the capital now. ”

'Jin Yiwei' (short) said: "Their chief dart head is called Xiao Junjunyao, how can you hear the name of the weapon like it is used by a woman?"

The tall 'Jin Yiwei' leaned into his ear and whispered: "It's Xiao Junyao, the woman who made the Zen Master of Qing Cultivation for thirteen years return to the vulgar at first sight, in terms of appearance, it is simply ...... Gee....... ”

The 'Golden Guard' (short) heart jumped and said in a low voice: "It's her, why did you change your name?" The 'Golden Guard' (Gao) said in a low voice: "Maybe it's to avoid the pursuit of Master Wuzen, to be honest, Master Wuzen is really amazing, and that cheek is really good, our buddies don't have that courage....."

The man listened to the two of them muttering for a long time, and he didn't talk about business, but talked about Xiao Junyao's love history, and couldn't help but snort coldly, the two 'golden guards' found their gaffes, pretended to cough, and the shorter 'golden guards' said solemnly: "Since it's Xiao ...... The subordinates of the head of the dart, that can be regarded as friends, but the responsibility, the household sticker (household register) can not be checked, and the road guide still has to take a look. ”

The tall 'Golden Guard' touched the short 'Golden Guard' and whispered: "Their dart game is in the capital, look at the way of the gate." ”

The short 'Golden Guard' coughed dryly knowing that he was speechless, and added: "Have you taken the dart road before, show me, don't pretend to be the 'Xingyuan Dart Game'." ”

The man took out a piece of Lu from his bosom and handed it over, and the 'Golden Guard' (short) took it, glanced at it, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Liang Xie. The man said.

The short 'Golden Guard' handed the road to his colleague and asked, "Xiao ...... Mr. Xiao has been doing well lately, is Master Wu Chan still chasing after him as hard as before?"

Liang Xie said: "We don't want to ask about the private affairs of the head of the dart. ”

The tall 'Jinyi Wei' looked at the road guide, returned it to Liang Xie, and asked knowingly: "I only heard that the 'Xingyuan Dart Bureau' has opened a branch in 'Big Dragon City' and 'Little Dragon City', and we have also opened a branch in the capital?"

Liang Xie said: "It's been almost half a year. ”

'Jin Yiwei' (Gao) asked again: "How is the sale?"

Liang Xie said: "The business of the General Administration is good, and the purchase of ** in the capital and the 'Big and Small Dragon City' is worse, but fortunately, the land outside the city is not very expensive, but it can be passed." ”

'Jin Yiwei' (Gao) said: "This is also a matter of no way, the 'Six Dragons Gang' is the dominant family in the Three Dragons City (Big and Small Dragon City and Flying Dragon City, that is, the capital), and sometimes even the things needed in the Imperial City are escorted by the 'Six Dragons Gang', and the merchants who do big business will naturally look for them, how can it be your turn." He paused and said: "Business, don't be in a hurry, keep the capital first, and it will be done slowly, if there is a deal, our brother can also help you introduce ......"

Liang Xie heard that the words of the two 'golden guards' were quite close to the meaning, and knew that if they didn't have the intention to get acquainted with Xiao Junyao, they wanted to take a piece of the pie in the name of introducing business, and they didn't break it at the moment, only perfunctory questions from the two, and the two 'golden guards' couldn't ask a reason after asking for a long time, and they felt bored, so they turned to the old man in the blacksmith shop and asked, "Old Chang, have any people come recently?"

The old man in the blacksmith shop shook his head and asked, "Is there something wrong, so strict?"

The tall man 'Jinyiwei' said: "In the past two months, there has been no accident in the capital, and seven or eight officials above the seventh rank in the court have died, and twenty or thirty wealthy merchants outside the city have died. ”

Lao Chang said: "Isn't there a 'Auxiliary City' Lord and the crowd to catch fast? Why do you still work for the two adults of the 'Golden Guard' to go out of this matter?"

The short man 'Jinyiwei' snorted and said: "Hmph, those rice buckets, top fart, it's been almost two months, the real murderer hasn't been caught, and some ordinary people have been caught, this is good, a few days ago, the 'Admiral of the Inner Palace' was just assassinated, and there were assassins in the imperial city for a few days, and Lord Jing has not seen anyone since he chased him out last night, we have not made a move, and this Gyeonggi Heavy Land has not been turned against the sky by a few bandits?"

Lao Chang smiled slightly, did not answer his words, the tall 'Jinyiwei' also seemed to feel that his colleague's words were a bit excessive, and interrupted: "There are many of these bandits, and their martial arts are certainly not low, and it is indeed difficult to catch them......" He casually picked up a knife on the table, looked at it and put it back, and then picked up a sword and looked at it: "The imperial court allocated three thousand taels of silver to the 'Jinyiwei' yesterday, and three hundred sets of instruments need to be customized, and there was a big explosion in the west of the city last year." Takeshi's has died a lot, and now he is studying firearms and can't spare his hands, so the above means to ask our brothers to see which armory shop is good for the blacksmith shop, and it is better to replace a batch for everyone first, if anyone is doing well, the business will be endless. ”

Lao Chang smiled slightly, but did not answer, Xuechen had already rushed to say: "We are specialized in building weapons, who else in the capital can compare to us for building swords and hidden weapons?"

The tall 'Golden Guard' said: "We think so, but the top may not be as we think, there are already a few old immortal people in the DPRK who have written to advocate the transfer of the 'firearms battalion' to settle the matter, hum, the people of the 'firearms battalion' know a fart except for fiddling blindly with firearms to search and investigate them." Chang, we met once, and naturally we want to help you facilitate this business, but I don't know if you are willing?"

......

Liang Xie listened to their discussion, and gradually walked away, the old man seemed to say something, and the two 'golden guards' Xiao Ling suddenly laughed, and praised the old man.

The black-clothed man who was listening to the book in the pergola stood up slowly, stretched, dropped a handful of copper coins and walked out of the pergola, and said to himself as he passed by the blacksmith shop: "The equipment and weapons of the 'Golden Guard' have people who dare to pump oil and water, well, it's amazing, it's amazing." ”

The two 'gold-clothed guards' were so frightened that they turned their heads and saw the man in black even more frightened, hurriedly walked a few steps over, bowed and saluted, "Drunk...... Hyped adults. ”

The man in black smiled and said: "No wonder the border army has a low armor rate and eats empty salaries, it turns out that they all learned from you, it should be a good way." ”

The two 'golden-clothed guards' exchanged glances, and the tall 'golden-clothed guards' took a few steps and handed out two silver tickets from their cuffs and stuffed them into the hands of the black-clothed man and whispered: "Our brother knows that he is wrong, please raise your noble hand and spare us once." ”

The man in black took the silver ticket and said with a smile: "Two adults, you are the dignified 'Golden Guard' seventh-rank life officer, how can I control you as a small role with no editor and no job." ”

The short 'Golden Guard' also took out two silver tickets from his sleeve, handed them over with trembling hands, and said in a low voice: "Please also ask your lordship to raise your noble hand for the sake of the old and young in our family, and the officials will know their mistakes, and they will never do it again in the future." ”

The man in black took the silver ticket and the previous two silver tickets together and threw them into his sleeve and turned away slowly, the two 'gold-clothed guards' were annoyed in their hearts, and each slapped themselves hard, the man in black walked out more than twenty steps, turned his head and said: "The idea is good, please continue, remember to give some to your brother when you go back, no more, um~~~~" He pretended to think for a moment and continued: "It's good to divide two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels." ”

The two of them looked miserable and nodded busily.

The man in black smiled and left slowly.

"Bastard!" When the man in black turned the corner and disappeared, the two 'gold-clothed guards' gritted their teeth and scolded at the same time.

As soon as the words fell, two leaves flew and landed on the shoulders of the two 'golden-clothed guards', and the two of them shook and fell down.

"Flying flowers and picking leaves?" The blacksmith shop Lao Chang was so surprised that he hurriedly leaned over to check his pulse, and found that the pulse of the two was dead, and immediately called his son Chang Xuechen to come out and whispered: "Go to the yamen to report the case, just say that the weather is too hot, and the two adults suddenly fainted, and there are not many other mouths." ”

"Yes. Chang Xuechen answered and hurried away.

The many people in the pergola and the shopkeeper on the side of the street heard the movement and looked this way, only to see two people falling inexplicably, only because the weather was too hot, and some of them had some guesses, but no one came out to speak. Until the yamen came, everyone asked about it, and everyone didn't know.

PS: Men in Black: Lord Ben is the first to appear, can't you think of it? Haha, I predict that Lord Ben will be the most popular character in this book, and I don't believe in betting two taels of silver.

Two Golden Guards: My lord, we are dead, please spare us......

Men in Black: This ...... , death doesn't prevent betting.
