Chapter Forty-Eight: The Seven-Foot Halberd Turns the Tide

Running out of the city in one go, Xiao Yao stopped at the pre-agreed place.

"You're worried about me. ”

Shangyu Daoren jumped down from the tree, stretched out his hand and patted his chest to relieve pressure.

Grabbing the senior brother's chest, Xiao Yao said viciously: "If you let the wind blow outside the door, you can summon the wolf, you almost killed me." ”

With an embarrassed smile, Shangyu Daoren said embarrassedly: "I have a bad problem, I pee when I am nervous, I really couldn't hold back just now and hid in the corner of the wall to release water, but I didn't expect to be seen by the guard in front of the door." ”

"Fortunately, they are all ordinary people, if we meet a master of the rivers and lakes, we will both have to finish playing. Xiao Yao said unhappily.

Shrugging his shoulders, Shangyu Daoist said curiously: "Was that old dog strangled to death, or did you slap it to death with one palm?"

"Master Wang is still alive, you should prepare for a happy event. ”

With a blank look, Xiao Yao raised his legs and left, but in his heart he was planning how to bring down the Wang family and this gang of bandits in one fell swoop.

~~~~~~~

In the royal hall.

"Wow"

Breaking the teacup, Wang Yonghe had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

"It's just a thief, why should the head of the Wang family be so angry. Naman said softly with his shoulders and grinning.

Looking at the pale Naman, Wang Yonghe squinted his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "It's simple to say, whoever can hurt you can also be called a thief, it's really a thing that has more than enough to do." ”

"You dare to insult me. Na Man's eyes welled up with anger, and he said in a deep voice.

"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the face of the big boss, the old man would have killed you with a slap, and you would have hidden the tribute privately, and actually gave it to that slut, and now that the thing is lost, it will cause trouble if you don't do it, and then I will see how you explain to the big boss. Wang Yonghe said coldly.

Hearing this, Naman's arrogant arrogance suddenly withered, and then he felt the seriousness of the matter, if this batch of tribute items to the king of Xizhou was seized by the official, it was likely to be destroyed, and at that time, the cruel means of the big boss would definitely cut off his neck.

"The Wang family...... Oh, no, what can Wang Lao do to defuse this crisis?" said Naman, his attitude became respectful.

After pondering for a while, Wang Yonghe said in a deep voice: "What are their plans, we don't know yet, but this batch of tributes is already very unsafe in the Wang family, and it will change later, you will immediately send four major cannon heads to me, and I will contact the buyer as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, I'll go back to Heilong Mountain to gather my brothers. Naman ignored the injury, got up and was about to leave.

"Remember, if you don't want to die, take care of your foul mouth. Wang Yonghe said lightly.

~~~~~~~~

Five days later.

Xiao Yao, as always, got up in the morning to box, and practiced the exercises at night, as for the forced marriage, he didn't take it to heart, guessing by himself that Wang Yonghe was already an ant on a hot pot, and he would have trouble sleeping and eating if he couldn't find a thief for a day, and he had no time to worry about taking concubines.

"Senior brother, there are still five days to reach the time limit, and now there are still two hundred taels of silver left, how can this be good?" Shangyu Daoren said worriedly.

"Wait until the day, discuss with them, give them a grace period of half a month, and then you return to Tianyan Peak to find the master, and say that I urgently need two hundred taels of silver, and I think the master will definitely give it to you." Xiao Yao said lightly.

"I'm worried that the old dog of the Wang family will not give up. Shangyu Daoren said with a sad face.

"Don't worry, he can't protect himself, how can he have time to pay attention to us. Xiao Yao said with a smile.

Blinking his eyes, Shangyu Daoren looked dazed, he didn't know what he meant, looking at his junior brother's pretended mysterious expression, he knew that he couldn't ask, so he simply gritted his teeth and pinned his hope on his junior brother.

"You take care of your uncle and aunt at home, and I'll go out first if I have something to do. ”

"Why are you going?"

"Buy something. ”

After speaking, Xiao Yao held the back of his head with both hands and walked out lazily.

Zhangjia Village is not too big, but everything you need is available, and all kinds of vendors and shops abound.

Xiao Yao wandered on the streets, which would inevitably attract the attention of the people in the village, and no one knew where a handsome young man with fair skin and a bright spirit appeared.

Staring at these surprised eyes, Xiao Yao is used to it, since he has practiced in the Sun Moon Lake, the whole body is indeed like being reborn, even the black spots on his face left by the wind and sun in the mountains all the year round have disappeared, I have to say that with a good skin, wherever he goes, he will be envied by others.

At this time, Xiao Yao's eyes inadvertently fell on an old man who sold rock sugar gourds.

Slightly stunned, Xiao Yao remembered the scene when he was a child, riding on his father's head and eating sugar gourds, and couldn't help but feel sour.

"Excuse me, give me ten strings of rock sugar gourds. Xiao Yao handed the old man a tael of silver and said lightly.

The old man of "Ten Strings" had a dull expression, feeling that he had heard it wrong, this was the first time that someone had bought so many strings of sugar gourds.

Holding a large handful of sugar gourds in his hand, Xiao Yao squatted directly beside the old man and picked it up, looking at his expression, he seemed to enjoy it very much.

"The child eats slowly, if it's not enough, I'll give it to you for free. ”

Watching the young man next to him gobbling up the sugar gourd, the old man smacked his tongue, and streams of sour water poured up from his stomach.

Chewing a sugar gourd in his mouth, Xiao Yao didn't know what it tasted like, but he felt that his depressed mood was much better.

After a while, Xiao Yao dropped three taels of silver and turned to leave, leaving only the old man holding a bare bamboo pole, dumbfounded and petrified in place.

Zhangjiacun blacksmith shop.

"Jingle Bell~"

A topless burly middle-aged blacksmith wields a hammer in his hand and sharpens a freshly baked broadsword.

Xiao Yao glanced inside, then walked to the weapon rack and took out a seven-foot bronze battle halberd, and looked at it carefully.

After weighing the weight of no less than 100 catties, Xiao Yao nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and smiled: "Uncle, how much silver is this halberd?"

Stopping the hammer in his hand, the burly middle-aged blacksmith wiped his sweat and said lightly: "Ten taels of silver." ”

Frowning, obviously this price is a bit beyond his budget, after a pause, Xiao Yao smiled and said: "I have eight taels of silver with me, can the uncle sell it to me at a loss?"

"Little guy, this is a pure bronze halberd tip, although it can't be sharpened like clay, but it is also extremely sharp, if it weren't for the rampant bandits, the people would not have a good life, and it would take fifteen taels of silver to make a deal. The middle-aged blacksmith said.

"It is precisely because of the bandits' burning and plundering that I want to join the army, relying on my own meager strength to protect the people to live and work in peace and contentment, even if I die in the hands of the bandits, I have no regrets. ”

This halberd is bound to be won, and Xiao Yao has no choice but to talk nonsense against his will.

Slightly stunned, the blacksmith looked at the young man in front of him, and always felt that this little guy was a little exaggerated.

"The dignified Yan Dynasty has declined to this point, and if you join the army, you still need to bring your own weapons?" said the blacksmith suspiciously.

"The notice at the entrance of the village has been clearly written, the increase in taxes does not mean that the treasury of the dynasty is empty, in this case, I dare not pin my life on those weapons made of broken copper and iron. Xiao Yao said helplessly.

The blacksmith nodded, feeling that the young man was reasonable, having a good weapon to defend himself did reduce a lot of danger, and seeing that the young man's expression was a sincere purchase, it seemed a little selfish that he did not let go of his mouth to sell.

"It's rare to have a child's heart, and this halberd will be sold to you. The blacksmith said.

Hearing this, Xiao Yao was overjoyed, and hurriedly handed the only eight taels of silver left on his body to the blacksmith, although he felt a little guilty, but he did not lie to exterminate the bandits, and he had already made up his mind to use this halberd blade to kill his father's enemy.

"This halberd is made of pure bronze except for the tip of the halberd, and the meniscus blades on both sides are made of pig iron, so the lethality will drop a lot. ”

After accepting the silver, the blacksmith, out of professional ethics, still truthfully told some of the flaws of the war halberd.

Frowning, Xiao Yao gently stroked the crescent blades on both sides, sighed, and said helplessly: "It seems that the weapon is not perfect." ”

"I have limited resources here, otherwise I won't cut corners, and if you have the money, you might as well buy rare metals to make a pair of sharper meniscus blades. The blacksmith said.

"That's it. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yao walked out of the blacksmith shop with a seven-foot halberd on his back.
