"Happy!" Xiao Tang and Hua Rong glanced at each other and laughed loudly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Hua Rong took the bow and said to Xiao Tang: "Fortunately, Brother Xiao Tang and all the righteous men drew their swords to help me save Qingfeng Town. Otherwise, with the strength of the younger brother alone, it is really dangerous. ”
"Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been tried. Show the king today, who has injustice. Xiao Tang said with a smile: "Brother Hua Rong is raping with a magic arrow today, this is the city of fortune!" ”
After that, Xiao Tang turned back to the restaurant and turned over and dismounted, took off his blood-stained shirt, revealing his strong muscles and galloping wolf tattoos, Xiao Tang poured a basin of water to wash away the blood stains on his body.
Hua Rong watched Xiao Tang's arrogant and heroic actions, and couldn't help but feel broken. This time, the two of them joined hands to kill the enemy, and their friendship with each other has progressed by leaps and bounds, and this is the first time that Hua Rong's bow and arrow have actually come in handy, which makes him can't help but have strange thoughts in his heart......
After interrogating the captured thieves, it was learned that they were under the command of Zhou Fang of the White Tiger Mountain, and the three leaders of the cottage were all killed by Xiao Tang and Hua Rong, and they could not afford to make any more waves. The Chinese Wuzhizhai in the town ran away, and Xiao Tang and Hua Rong also took on the task of pacifying the people and arranging for the collection of the bodies of the people who were unfortunately killed by the thieves.
But they were busy, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and everyone went out of the building to look, and saw nearly a hundred torches in the night, connecting the stars and lines, and rushing towards Qingfeng Town.
"Where did the thief come from?" Xiao Tang had a gun in his hand, and said with a wary expression.
Xiao Yi went to find out, and hurriedly came back to report: "Young master, it is the officials and soldiers of Qingzhou Mansion who came. ”
Hua Rong snorted coldly and said, "It's so fast!" If there is no Brother Xiao Tang here, I am afraid that the thieves in Baihu Mountain have already burned and killed, and they will go away! ”
Xiao Tang smiled slightly and said, "Since it is the Qingzhou official army who came, it is better to report it as soon as possible, so as not to have a misunderstanding." ”
After that, Xiao Tang turned over and got on his horse, rushed to the front and said loudly: "Everyone, don't be impatient, the White Tiger Mountain thieves who invaded Qingfeng Town have been eliminated!" ”
A member of the official army galloped out on horseback and went straight to Xiao Tang and Hua Rong. The military general had a square appearance, a tall body, and a great sword behind him, he looked at Xiao Tang and Hua Rong, and asked, "Who are you waiting for?" Where are the thieves who came to attack Qingfeng Town? ”
Xiao Tang saw the unique horse blade behind the general, and asked: "I have heard for a long time that Huang Xin, the commander of the Qingzhou Soldiers and Horses 'Zhen Sanshan', is extraordinary, could it be Your Excellency?" ”
Huang Xin raised himself when he heard Xiao Tang's words, his face softened, and he replied: "I am Huang Xin, I don't know what Your Excellency will call?" ”
Xiao Tang hugged his fists and said: "I am Xiao Tang, the commander of the Sima Army left behind in the Daimyo Mansion, this is Xiao Guanghuarong, a local hero in Qingfeng Town, who is behind the gate." Three or two hours ago, the first three of the White Tiger Mountain thieves, Zhou Fang, Luo Li, and Zhao She, had done evil so far, and they had all been eliminated by us. ”
Huang Xin said movingly: "It turned out that Ren Xia of the Daimyo Mansion is here!" It's that I lost my courtesy, thank you Commander Xiao for helping me and saving this Qingfeng Town under the rule of Qingzhou Mansion. It's just that I don't know where is the Wenwu Zhizhai in Qingfeng Village, Qingfeng Town? ”
Hua Rong sneered: "The thieves disappeared when they first broke into the town, and now who knows where those two birdmen are hiding?" ”
When Huang Xin heard this, his face sank, and he said angrily: "These two short-lived chaotic turbidities! Not to mention dereliction of duty, the liver and gallbladder conscience have also been taken away by dogs! Wait for the inspection department to investigate it, they have a good look! ”
After that, Huang Xin hugged his fists at Xiao Tang and said: "It's all about Xiao Command's feelings, and solve the misfortune of Qingfeng Town." But the reason for this matter still has to be reported to the officials, and it is necessary to bother Xiao to command him to go to Qingzhou. ”
Xiao Tang replied: "Of course, it's just that my dart line escorts the dart through here, and people don't leave the dart, and the dart doesn't leave the person, and I have to keep everything safe." Please allow me to wait until tomorrow to get the dart car in order and go to Qingzhou to meet all of you. ”
Huang Xin said with a smile: "Of course, even so, I, Huang Xin, are waiting for Commander Xiao in the Qingzhou Command Division." After that, Huang Xin gave Xiao Tang, Hua Rong and others a salute, and then led the troops back to Qingzhou.
Xiao Tang looked at Hua Rong and said meaningfully: "Brother Hua Rong, this time you have made great contributions to defending Qingfeng Town, so that the Qingzhou Command Division will not reuse you in the eyes?" I'm sure you'll get what you want soon. ”
Hua Rong pondered for a long time and said, "I don't know if Brother Xiao Tang invited him yesterday, and he still can't do it?" ”
Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment, and then said with surprise on his face: "What, Brother Huarong, are you willing to go to the Daimyo's Mansion with me?" ”
Hua Rong smiled faintly and said: "In today's battle, I, Hua Rong, felt the joy in my heart." The big husband has to rely on martial arts to establish a career, and it should be so! Brother Xiao Tang's ability is in my eyes Hua Rong, if I can fight hand in hand with my brother, I will not bury my Hua Rong's ability! ”
Xiao Tang was surprised, Hua Rong's ability to spear and arrow will definitely add a great boost to him! The urgent vanguard Suo Chao is subordinate to the forbidden army stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion, but he is not Xiao Tang's cronies, and he may not be able to follow him when he is transferred. But now that the eight generals of Liangshan have obtained the second, and Hua Rong will teach him the riding and archery skills of his eighteen horsemen, which strongman can match him now?
Hua Xiaomei was very happy when she heard that her brother had made up her mind and decided to go to the Daimyo Mansion with Xiao Tang......
※※※※※※※※※※
On the second day, Xiao Tang, Hua Rong, Xiao Yi and others prepared to stop, and prepared a solo van for Hua Xiaomei, and drove all the way to Qingzhou Mansion.
The last time they came to Qingzhou Mansion, Xiao Tang, Wu Song and Su Jinniang could be regarded as walking on the line of life and death, and their life experiences also took a great turn at that time.
When Xiao Tang and the others found an inn, set up the dart carts and horses, and were about to go to the Qingzhou Command Division to meet Huang Xin after lunch, several small servants also entered the inn, and two or three of them had bruises on their faces, scolded and found a small seat to sit on, and said something indignantly.
Xiao Tang didn't care, he was talking to Hua Rong, and at this time, Xue Yongzheng was beating those little guys and passing by. He walked to Xiao Tang's table and sat down, and said with a smile: "This QZ market is also interesting, but the silver shop is not good at doing its own business but is angry with others, but it has touched the head of bad luck." ”
Xiao Tang was a little curious when he heard this, so he asked, "Master Xue Yong, what did you hear those people say?" ”
Xue Yong replied: "I just heard a few words randomly, saying that there is a Suzhou silversmith who has set up a stall to sell silverware, and those few little guys are doing business in the family silver shop. The shopkeeper of the silver shop deceived the silversmith as a foreigner, and he thought that the silversmith was hindering his own livelihood, so he made those little guys go to chase him away, but he had a good fight, so he complained here. ”
Silversmiths from Suzhou...... Still living in this Qingzhou? Xiao Tang suddenly remembered someone, and he immediately said to Xue Yong: "Don't be busy going to the command department first, let's go, go and take a look!" ”
A street not far from the location of the Xiaotang Inn is the most prosperous and lively place in Qingzhou City, there are several silver shops selling gold and silver jewelry in the oblique corner, and in the opposite row of stalls, there is a silversmith setting up a stall, introducing his goods to a picky man.
The silversmith was born with handsome facial features and fair skin, and that appearance was enough to be an idol group in the future. Looking at his eyes and blood, it seems that he is also a practitioner. Although he is handsome, he has a lot more masculinity than many long-legged sissies in later generations.
"Guest officer, although we don't have any furnishings, our craftsmanship is first-class." The tone of his voice was sticky and glutinous, and when he heard it, he was a silversmith from Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Wudi.
The person who picked up the goods pouted, looked east and west, but did not reply.
Seeing this, the silversmith smiled and asked, "Didn't the guest officer take a fancy to me?" What kind of silver jewelry do you want to make? Silver bottles, holding pots, wine bottles, trays, pots, carved boxes...... We'll do it. ”
"Yo? If you really want it, can you really do it? He raised his eyebrows, looked at the silversmith playfully, and said, "I want the silverware engraved with flowers, don't be too tacky, and tell me what you plan to do first." ”
The silversmith patiently introduced: "This chisel flower and engraving are to hammer the gold and silver thin, and then use the chisel to carve out the relief, or the chisel on the ornament in the objective phase. Generally speaking, the larger the area, the richer the effect. In other words, if you give up a lot of silver, you will be able to make a good thing.
In addition, there is a method of melting silver from the Western Regions: when the thin silver sheet is melted until it is about to melt, the fire is removed, and even wrinkles are produced on the silver sheet. Jewelry decorations made of this material have a special charm. In addition, it can also be made of ornaments made of melt drops. Supplemented by filigree inlay and welded gold beads, it depends on whether the guest officer wants to be more expensive or more elegant. ”
The person who picked up the goods couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "You really know some doorways, so how much silver are you going to ask?" ”
The silversmith replied: "Of course, the cost of this silverware is paid by the guest officer, and as for the hand-made, if you want the finest kind, such as a silverware the size of five taels of silver, I will also charge five taels." ”
The picker was not happy: "What? You set up a broken stall and have no storefront, and you dare to ask for this price? ”
The silversmith bit his silver teeth, but still explained with a smile: "This is the first hammer nickel, engraving, carving, casting, welding techniques used in the production of silver jewelry, and when making mold carving, it also pays attention to vertical carving decoration and relief embossing, but if it is cumbersome and meticulous, I have to invite some people to help, and it is common to charge more honorarium." ”
The picker said: "If this is the case, I might as well find a place with a brand sign, why bother talking nonsense with you here?" ”
The white-faced silversmith's forehead had burst out of green tendons, and he endured his anger and said: "This silversmith's livelihood and craftsmanship are secondary, and everyone only believes in the name of the word and the signboard of the workshop." This silverware cannot be eaten or worn, and it is an object of wealth and posstry. Therefore, most of the customers only go to the silversmith shops with famous names and reputations in various places, but they don't know how many shops only do the real skills of high-ranking officials and wealthy people. If you treat small households, which of them is not 'a big shop'? It is a common thing to mix some fake materials to deal with things, and it is by no means comparable to our craftsmanship and goods. ”
"What? Do you think I look like a small householder? Phew! The man who picked up the goods changed color, pointed at the silversmith and scolded, "Are you reluctant to spend more money? Ye went south and north, you are so clever and eloquent, although the words are beautiful, but the skills are common! If the silverware you made for me is missing a pound or two, or mixed with water, and you are not the shopkeeper, where can I go to find you!? Don't talk nonsense, I'll give you three taels of silver for these two goods, do you sell them or not? ”
The silversmith closed his eyes and took a deep breath when he saw this, and when he suddenly opened his eyes, he was completely furious, pointing at the picker and scolding in his native dialect: "Pounce on you! Rub it like you dog poke ah, do you want to eat life? Blind and hungry again, endure a bloody drip! ”
The picker was stunned and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
The white-faced silversmith said angrily: "Uncle, I said to tell you to get out of here!" Roll of the snack!! ”
The picker said angrily: "Why are you scolding!? ”
The white-faced Langjun had a hideous face, and he said fiercely: "I don't just scold you, I want to beat you!" With that, he had already grasped the sentry stick that had been placed aside in one hand.
When the man who picked up the goods saw that the silversmith was really going to do it, he turned around in fright and ran, and turned around and scolded as he ran: "You poor thief and birdman, you deserve to set up a broken stall and have no business!" Wait and beg for food! ”
The white-faced silversmith threw down the whistle stick and scolded angrily: "Straight thief! Little Red Guy! It's hard to live in this world! It's better to simply throw a fallen grass as a coward, and it will be happy to see a birdman slaughtering one! ”
At this time, I heard someone laugh and say: "Look at you, this man has a good skin, but his temperament is impatient!" ”
The white-faced silversmith opened his eyes angrily, and when he looked around, it was Xiao Tang who was looking at him with a smile.
"Where are you a birdman!? Dare to come and entertain grandpa? The white-faced silversmith glared at Xiao Tang and said fiercely.
Xiao Tang stared at the angry white-faced silversmith, and suddenly said, "You are from Suzhou, called Zheng Tianshou, the white-faced Langjun, yes or no?" ”
