"I think there's something I don't need to know right now, all I have to do now is just do the job. Xu Xiao replied to the old man's words tepidly, and then pulled up the hat on his cloak and turned to leave.

The old man looked at Xu Xiao's departing figure and smiled slightly: "This kid is also interesting." Then he sat down and waited for the next person to take the task.

After Xu Xiao left, he found a place to live as usual, and took out the bamboo slips he had just picked up from the Moro Pavilion substation again.

This task is not as easy as last time, this time Xu Xiao received an assassination mission, to assassinate an elder of the Nolan family, the strength of this elder used to be in the entry period, but I don't know why the strength has regressed greatly, and now only the strength of the middle stage of foundation building, for Xu Xiao, it is still a matter of being captured.

It's just that I don't know why, this Nolan family seems to be very protective of this elder, and there is a group of masters guarding it every day, and it seems that there are precautions against assassinations and other actions, which makes Xu Xiao feel a headache.

Xu Xiao originally practiced the spear, which is the most rigid and yang weapon, and the exercises are the eight desolations, which are open and closed like the Eight Desolations, which does not help much for this kind of assassination.

"It seems that we need to build a short weapon, otherwise it will be too inconvenient to act in the future. Xu Xiao smiled bitterly and thought in his heart, after all, which killer would carry a spear as a weapon when he went to kill? Wouldn't that be too easy to expose?

"Guest, the meal you asked for is here. Xu Xiao was thinking about it, but the voice of the second shopkeeper at the door rang out, breaking Xu Xiao's thoughts.

Xu Xiao put away his things, then opened the door and let the shopkeeper enter the room.

"Guest, your meal, please use it slowly. Xiao'er nodded to Xu Xiao, and after the things were put away, he was ready to quit.

"Little second brother, do you know that there is a place to build weapons along the city here?" Xu Xiao said as he stopped the shopkeeper who was about to leave.

The little second looked at him strangely and said, "Guest officer, is it the first time you have come to Xiayan City?"

Xu Xiao nodded when he heard this, and did not say no.

"That's normal, guest officer, don't you know, this is along the city, it is famous for wrought iron and steelmaking, how can there be no place to build weapons?" Xiao'er seemed to be very proud and said: "But although I say this, there are only three families that can really be called everyone, the Nolan family in the south of the city, the Mo family in the north of the city, and the Zhu family in the east of the city." ”

Xu Xiao couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "According to what you said, there is one side in the east, south, and north of the city, but there is no one in the west of the city, but why? Could it be that the technology in the west of the city is not as good as the other three?"

Xiao Er thought about it for a while and said: "How to say it, there are also in the west of the city, but it is not a family that dominates the west of the city, but a person, and they all call him Lao Tie." It's strange to say that this person can help people build weapons without cost, and don't bring your own materials, just bring a jar of good wine. There are a lot of people looking for him to fight weapons, but it is said that the weapons made by this old iron are also good, guest officer, you weigh it yourself, the small one still has something, go first. ”

Xu Xiao didn't stop him after hearing this, and let him go, but this so-called old iron is also strange, as long as he has a jar of good wine, isn't he losing all his money?

Xu Xiao hurriedly finished eating, thought about it again, or decided to go to the old iron side in the west of the city to have a look, as for the other three, the price must be expensive, especially the Nolan family, he has to assassinate the elders of their family, if he goes to them to build weapons, then it will be impossible to tell.

Xu Xiao ran to the lobby to buy a jar of bamboo leaves, this jar of wine is much more valuable than jadeite, this wine is green but not vulgar, fragrant but not greasy, naturally not ordinary. It's just that the year that Xu Xiao bought is not so sufficient.

After several inquiries, Xu Xiao finally came to the door of the so-called old iron's blacksmith shop. The blacksmith does look like a bun shop. If it weren't for the big iron hanging on the signboard at the door, and the tools for striking iron at the door, it would be hard to think that this was an iron-making place just by looking at the smoke wafting up.

"May I ask where Master Tie is?" Xu Xiao stood at the door, and he didn't dare to go in, for fear of breaking the rules of others, so he had to call at the door.

It's just that Xu Xiao waited for a long time, but no one paid attention, and under the inspiration, Xu Xiao directly opened the altar of bamboo leaves, and called into the house again: "Is the old iron master here?"

"Who's coming!" a middle-aged man's voice came from inside the room, and then a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard walked out, and his body was covered in muscles, which didn't look very reliable.

As soon as the middle-aged man came out, he stared at the altar of bamboo leaves in Xu Xiao's hand, and said, "Is it you kid looking for me?"

Xu Xiao looked at the man, nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Lao Tie, it's down there." ”

"Don't say so much, give me wine, say what you want to hit directly, I don't like to twist and turn. The middle-aged man said that, he took the bamboo leaf in Xu Xiao's hand and said arrogantly.

But it's normal, is the artist bold, he was originally begging others to do things, Xu Xiao wouldn't care so much, and the generations of others are also from his father's generation, so it's understandable to talk like this.

"Master Iron, if you can, help me make a short knife, about a foot long. Xu Xiao didn't dare to be disrespectful to him, but still said respectfully.

Lao Tie took a sip of bamboo leaves, and then said slowly: "Is it a short knife? Yes, but can you tell me what you do?"

Xu Xiao frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Do you need to know your identity to fight a weapon?"

Lao Tie didn't care too much about Xu Xiao's emotions, raised his eyebrows and said, "You're new, right?"

Xu Xiao couldn't help blushing after hearing this, he was a newcomer, and he didn't always have to be taken out to say, right? But Xu Xiao still nodded.

"I don't blame you if you're new, it's my rule, I need to know what you do to give you the best thing for you. Do you understand?" Lao Tie said wildly as he gulped the bamboo leaves in the jar.

Xu Xiao was secretly glad that he didn't offend this old iron. So he immediately said: "The kid is a newcomer, and he doesn't know the rules of the gentleman, so please don't blame the seniors." ”

"What Mr. seniors, they all call me Lao Tie, and you can also call me Lao Tie. Lao Tie said with a big grin, feeling that he didn't take Xu Xiao's rudeness just now to heart: "You tell me what you do when you hit the short knife, I'll help you fight, it's over, where are so many things?"

Xu Xiao said in his heart that this old iron is estimated to have this temper, anyway, he is now using the identity of a ghost servant, and it doesn't hurt to tell him: "Don't hide it from your predecessors, you are a killer in the next place, and you hit this short knife to kill people." ”

When Lao Tie heard Xu Xiao's words, he paused for the action of drinking in his hand, and then said: "Is such a young killer?" Okay, I know, you can come and get it at night, and I'll help you fight it now." ”

Lao Tie said, didn't care about Xu Xiao, and walked in by himself. Xu Xiao looked at it and didn't ask much, it is estimated that this old iron has a strange personality, except for this statement, Xu Xiao can no longer find any other explanation.
