In the early morning, Li Jiqian Village, the autumn sun has risen to mid-air, it is the good weather of autumn high and cool, the cooking smoke in the village is curling, the chickens and dogs smell each other, the pedestrians on the street are slowly increasing, most of the shops have also opened the doors, and the whole village is lively.

Gao Jie, Li Hongji, and Li Guosanxiao nibbled on corn while heading towards the north of the village.

After inquiry, they already knew that Hu Dawei's blacksmith shop had found a small place to open in the north of the village.

Although the patriarch Li Hongming was very hospitable, Li Shouzhong was always an arrogant person in his bones, and he did not want to send people under the fence all the time, he spent two days to meet the old and sick cousin Li Shoucheng, the old patriarch, and other old people in the clan, and then insisted on letting Li Hongming help, and soon found a courtyard with three courtyards. Li Shouzhong had a lot of savings, and he decided to settle here anyway, so he gritted his teeth and bought the courtyard and soon moved out.

Li Jiqian Village is a martial village, most of the Li family practice martial arts, and the family also recruits many disciples with foreign surnames, and even one of the four elders has a foreign surname, that is, Wang Chengen's senior brother Yao Shimen. Chen Dake and Yao Shimen are old friends, and the two are very happy to see each other, and they will get together every day to drink and learn, and they have a very leisurely and comfortable life.

Xie Jun also rushed back on the third day, and he told everyone that Ai Zhao, the head of the Ai family, and Li Xunlong, the head of the Li family in Yonghe Shilou, went to visit him in the Baihu House the next day, wanting to find out his style. It's just that it is estimated that they will not give up, and everyone must always be vigilant

Because although Li Hongji is the same age as Li Zihan and Li Jina, he is senior, so that the brothers and sisters are not very willing to associate with Li Hongji and the three of them, and Gao Jie is also so happy that he can't see Li Jina, who makes him very troubled.

Today is the seventh day that they came to Li Jiqianzhai, Gao Jie has been thinking about dissolving the two Xiuchun knives, and there are two days before the family competition, he wants to prepare two sharp short knives for the second child to defend himself, and by the way, he also gets two short swords. So early this morning, he took the Xiuchun knife wrapped in black cloth, and Li Hongji's uncle and nephew went out to Liu Zongmin's blacksmith shop.

Although it was still far away, Gao Jie had already heard the sound of clanging iron, and hurriedly greeted Li Hongji excitedly and hurried forward.

As soon as I saw the banner of "Hu Ji" hanging in the blacksmith shop, I heard a faint sound of dispute, and the sound of striking iron also stopped.

Sanxiao hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed to the door of the blacksmith shop, only to see four young men in their twenties arguing around Liu Zongmin.

Today, Hu Dawei went out to buy coke, only Liu Zongmin was alone in the store, he was wooden by nature, not good at words, and was surrounded by the four young people, but he didn't do a word, just stared at them coldly.

Gao Jie Sanxiao hurriedly stepped forward and stood between Liu Zongmin and the four young people, asking what was going on.

The first young man is similar to Li Hongji, about twenty-one or two years old, handsome, calm, and dressed in a yellow samurai suit. It's just that his face is a little thin, with a little wine too pale.

When he saw that someone was meddling, he looked at Gao Jie Sanxiao, and saw that they were all teenagers and half-year-olds, so he shouted loudly: "A few little ghosts, what are you doing, get out of the way!"

Gao Jie frowned when he heard this, suppressed Li Guo, who was a little impulsive, and said to the young man: "This big brother, if there is something to say, it is not good for your body to be angry early in the morning!"

Seeing that Sanxiao was not afraid to dodge, the young man was a little surprised, and looked at them a few times again before he said in a deep voice: "Yesterday I sent three high-grade iron materials, and asked them to help me make three Tang knives, and today I came to get them, but I found that they were beaten into three broken swords, what is this!"

Liu Zongmin said in a muffled voice behind him: "What you said yesterday is to forge a long sword!"

The young man at the head said menacingly: "Am I even going to make a mistake about whether I want to forge a sword or a sword?!"

Gao Jie ignored the man, turned around and asked Liu Zongmin, "Does the guest have an order?"

Liu Zongmin nodded again and again, turned around and took out a half-new account book in the cave, he was illiterate, so he handed it to Gao Jie. Gao Jie took the account book and asked the young man, "May I ask this eldest brother's surname?"

The man said impatiently: "My name is Li Jie, and Second Elder Li Hongyu is my father!"

Gao Jie said in his heart: "It seems that this Ming Dynasty also has a second ancestor! Fortunately, his father is not called Li Gang!" He opened the account book and quickly found the record with Li Jie's signature. After looking at it, he handed the account book to Li Jie and said, "This big brother Li Jie, what you signed and registered for is three long swords!"

Li Jie opened the account book handed by Gao Jie and shouted: "I clearly said yesterday that I was going to fight three Tang knives, this order was written by his old ghost master, I just signed it yesterday without reading it carefully, my three brothers can testify!"

Behind him, three young men in yellow samurai uniforms echoed.

As soon as Gao Jie heard this, he knew that there was something strange in this, these four people were afraid that they had come to find fault on purpose, could it be that Blacksmith Hu had offended people in the past few days? It seems that this matter is not easy to solve.

While he was groaning, Li Jie became even more arrogant, and shouted with a wave of his hand: "Brothers, smash this blacksmith shop for me!"

The four of them drew their weapons and prepared to smash the guy.

Gao Jie has been looking for Li Zicheng in the past few days when he came to Li Jiqianzhai, but after asking Li Zihan, the answer he got was very disappointing, so he had to pin his hopes on the Li clan in Mizhi County.

So he told Li Hongji and Li Guo not to expose their strength, and even to practice martial arts to avoid people's eyes and ears, and not to publicize it, and two days later, the family competition can enter the top ten and obtain the qualification to participate in the Li clan's 20-year competition.

So when Li Guo saw that Li Jie was beaten up, although he was angry in his heart, he didn't get Gao Jie's permission, so he had to endure it without having a seizure.

Seeing that the four guys were about to make a move, Gao Jie was about to stop him, when he heard a loud shout behind him, which was deafening: "Who dares to touch my master's shop!"

I saw Liu Zongmin, who was shirtless, holding a sledgehammer weighing seventy or eighty pounds in his hand, and rushed out from his side.

Li Jie and the others were startled, only to see a burly boy with copper-skinned skin and a majestic demeanor holding a hammer in both hands, standing at the door of the blacksmith shop, like an angry lion, how could there be a little bit of the appearance of the little blacksmith just now.

Li Jie came back to his senses, sneered, made a mistake with his feet, and the blue light long sword in his hand shook out several sword shadows, as if left and right, and stabbed towards Liu Zongmin's right shoulder.

As the eldest son of Li Hongyu, the second elder of the Li family, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are profound, and his strength can be ranked among the top ten in the village, and his swordsmanship is particularly outstanding.

Gao Jie Sanxiao thought that Liu Zongmin would knock the waist knife of a young man with good skills away with a hammer, and when he was stunned, Li Jie's long sword had already attacked, and he was waiting to be rescued, but he saw Liu Zongmin shouting again, the heavy sledgehammer in his hand was lightweight, and the hammer head was on his shoulder, so he blocked Li Jie's sword.

This time, the three little calculations understood that Liu Zongmin was not an ordinary blacksmith, this was a kung fu!

Not only was the three stunned, but Li Jie also immediately restrained his contempt, turned his long sword, drew three sword circles in a row, and continued to attack Liu Zongmin.

The young man who had been knocked away ran to pick up the waist knife on the ground, and stood on the side with two other people to watch the battle, but he did not come up to besiege him.

There was a fight in the blacksmith shop, and many people around gathered around to see the excitement, because there were quite a lot of people who practiced martial arts in the village, and there were often things to learn or fight, and everyone was not surprised, not afraid, and watched with relish.

Liu Zongmin's sledgehammer only defends and does not attack, no matter how many sword shadows and how many false moves Li Jie's long sword draws, his hammer head will block the attack of the long sword in the right place, and each of his hammers has no sense of fancy, just like his people, but it is very practical and effective.

The three children glanced at each other, both surprised and delighted, both surprised that Liu Zongmin was able to do martial arts, and happy that he could fight against a good player like Li Jie without falling behind.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves passed, and Li Jie became more and more depressed, as the leader of the younger generation of the Li family, he couldn't even defeat a small blacksmith, and he really couldn't get over his face. But he used all his strength, no matter how the swordsmanship changed, the little blacksmith only used the hammer to block unpretentiously, and then dissolved his exquisite sword moves, and his palm was still shocked to a faint pain.

Just when he couldn't get off the stage, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Li Jie, why did you fight with someone?!"

When Li Jie heard the shout, he took advantage of the situation to retreat and collect it, Liu Zongmin did not pursue, put the hammer on his shoulder, and just guarded the blacksmith shop like a door god.

I saw Li Zihan and Li Jina coming to me quickly, and they were about to ask Li Jie what happened, but suddenly saw Li Hongji Sanxiao also there, and Li Zihan showed embarrassment on his face. He has been knowledgeable since he was a child, and in desperation, he stepped forward and saluted Li Hongji: "It turns out that Uncle Hongji is also here, and his nephew Li Zihan is polite!"

Gao Jie and Li Guo saw Li Zihan saluting the fat man as a junior, and calling him a nephew, and they both forced a smile. Li Hongji was panicked, and hurriedly helped Li Zihan up and said, "Don't salute, my father said that we should talk to each other!"

Li Zihan reluctantly smiled: "Uncle Hongji said that he was joking, elders are elders, seniority can't be messed up, and etiquette can't be wasted!"

When Gao Jie heard this, he had a good impression of this Li Zihan, feeling that he was very educated, and he did have the bearing and demeanor of the heir of the Li family.

Seeing this, Li Jie was a little inexplicable, and stepped forward and asked, "Zihan, who are they?"

Li Zihan glared at him and said, "Didn't you hear your father talk about it? This is Li Hongji, the son of the thirteenth grandfather, you just call Uncle Hongji!"

Then Li Jie listened, looked at the fat man in front of him, who was only a teenager, hesitated for a long time, how embarrassed to call uncle.

Li Zihan knew that Li Jie was embarrassed, and he didn't force him, and asked what happened, so he said solemnly: "The blacksmith is right about this, Li Jie, you are a little nonsense! Do you want me to pay you three knives?"

Li Jie said: "No need, since they are all acquaintances, forget it!"

Li Zihan turned his head and apologized to Li Hongji Sanxiao and Liu Zongmin, and then took Li Jie and them away.

Li Jina, who had been silent beside her, suddenly came to Gao Jie with her hands behind her back, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect your martial arts to be good, how about you come and have a few moves with me?"

As soon as Gao Jie saw this Li Jina, his head was big, and he waved his hand again and again: "Beauty, they are the ones who know martial arts, I am just a little hunter, and I have no power to restrain the chicken, how dare I fight with you, a heroine who does not let her eyebrows go!"

Li Jina Yao snorted lightly in her nose and said, "It's okay if you look oily, and you're still full of rhetoric, do you want to deceive this girl?"

As soon as the words fell, the long sword on his waist came out of its sheath, and with a flash of cold light, it stabbed Gao Jie's throat.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they saw this, but Gao Jie's face did not change, his eyesight was extraordinary, and he had already seen that this move was just a temptation, and stood with his hands in his hands until the tip of the sword stopped less than half an inch from his throat, and his body did not move at all.

Seeing that Gao Jie didn't dodge, didn't dodge, didn't move, didn't fight, felt very bored, pursed her lips, and snorted again: "It's not fun at all! You really look like a girl, you don't even know martial arts, why don't you go embroidering?!" After speaking, she turned around and followed Li Zihan and the others.

In the laughter of Li Hongji and Li Guo, Gao Jie shook his head helplessly, pulled Liu Zongmin into the shop, explained the Xiuchun knife to him, and told him to secretly smelt it and remake it into two short knives and short swords. Then the four friends began to chat nonsense.

Suddenly, the alarm bell of "Dangdangdang" sounded, and Gao Jie and the others heard Li Shouzhong say that unless a strong enemy attacked, the big bell in the patriarch's mansion would not ring easily.

Gao Jie Sanxiao was afraid that the Ai family would chase and kill Li Jiqian Village again, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Liu Zongmin and rushed to the patriarch's mansion.
