Cheng Xiaolian easily inquired about the blacksmith's shop in the town, and after a while, he arrived near the shop, and saw a strong man about forty years old striking iron from a distance, although he was naked, he was already sweating profusely.

Cheng Xiaolian walked closer, and the man smiled: "This master, do you want to hit something?" ”

"I want to fight a sword."

"Hehe, it's the right place to come to me, you can inquire about the whole town, and the weapons I have made are the best. I don't know what requirements this master has for swords? ”

"Three feet long, an inch wide."

"This master, one inch is a little thin, it's like a knife, it's ugly, it's easy to be misunderstood, I suggest you hit a two-inch one, it's beautiful to hold."

The blacksmith knows that no one uses a sword to make a living with weapons in his hand, and most of the people who use swords are children of rich families, and holding a sword is an ornament, so it is natural to make it more beautiful.

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Then do as you say." ”

"Okay, I don't know when this master will want it, if I'm in a hurry, I'll work all night today, and I'll be able to come out tomorrow morning." If you're not in a hurry, you can come and pick it up in three days. ”

"Are you in a hurry about the work at hand?"

"I'm in a hurry, this is Liu Laohan from Daliu Village who asked me to hit a hoe, saying that he was in a hurry to get to the ground, and he would come to pick it up tomorrow, and I promised a good person."

"Well, looks like your business is good?"

"Hehe, let's eat by craftsmanship, and the quality of business depends on craftsmanship."

Cheng Xiaolian heard it, this person is very confident in his craft, and it seems that life is not as difficult as the shopkeeper of the wine store said.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked: "I heard that you have to charge a sum of money for buying and selling on this street, and I heard that there are quite a few, I don't know if you can live your life?" ”

Hearing this, the man sighed: "Hey, who said it wasn't, but aren't we ordinary people living just a mess, the poor have a poor way of living, the rich have a way of living, if you earn a lot of silver, you can eat some meat, and if you don't earn much, you can eat some coarse grains, how can you live." ”

"Boss, you fled from the north."

"That's right. The battle over there was so miserable that it was said that the corpses were too late to be buried, so they were thrown directly into the ditch. We can't help it, both sides are recruiting strong men, if we don't flee, we will have to die on the battlefield, we can only escape. ”

"Who do you think will win?"

"Hey, you're asking the wrong person, I'm just an ironworker, I haven't even figured out who beats whom, you ask me who can win, it's better to go to the temple to ask for a hexagram, this master, I can see it, you are planning to seek fame, it's not easy, it's easy to go back."

Cheng Xiaolian's mind suddenly turned, and he realized that something was wrong, yes, now that he is fighting, the paperwork and notices are not clear, and others are not the same as himself, how can he know the battle situation ahead, and even analyze who loses and who wins?

Thinking of this, he took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table: "This piece is a deposit, and I will come to get the sword in three days." ”

The man hurriedly waved his hand: "This master, the deposit doesn't need so much." ”

"When you work hard, give me a good sword, if not, I can find you."

"Okay, don't worry, all the good things come out of my hands."

Cheng Xiaolian strode towards the wine shop, he wanted to set a set of the shopkeeper's details, the matter on the blacksmith's side made him understand one thing, it seems that now both sides don't treat the people as their people, if they don't recruit soldiers today, they may be fought for by others tomorrow.

Cheng Xiaolian entered the tavern, and when the shopkeeper saw him coming, he immediately walked out of the counter: "Oh, why are you here, this guest officer, please come inside." But he whispered, "Why are you here again?" I've told you a long time ago that I'm not interested in your business. ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "I suddenly wanted to understand one thing, and I came to ask for your opinion." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter?" ”

"You see there are a lot of people here, let's talk inside."

The shopkeeper's face was gloomy, with a hint of threat: "I told you a long time ago, I am not interested in your affairs, besides, you are only one person today, and no one will know if you die here." ”

Cheng Xiaolian sneered: "It doesn't matter where I die, the important thing is that the next big boss will definitely avenge me, otherwise I won't be able to be the big boss, and the whole town will be implicated by you at that time." ”

The shopkeeper snorted: "Follow me." ”

took Cheng Xiaolian to the backyard: "If you have anything to say, you can leave." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "I don't understand one thing, why do you know so clearly about the war between Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing." ”

"Hmph, it's just hearsay."

"I went to ask the blacksmith just now, but he fled from the center of the battlefield, he doesn't even know who to fight with, but you know so clearly, you are not a simple shopkeeper, right?"

"Haha, Li Yun, I told you a long time ago, you will die on this mouth sooner or later, you still don't believe it, believe it this time."

As soon as Cheng Xiaolian looked up, there happened to be a person walking out of the room, who was about the same age as this shopkeeper, but he was much better looking than this shopkeeper, and there was a hint of mockery on his face.

The shopkeeper, that is, Li Yun sneered: "It's just a little bandit leader, I'll just stretch out my hand and slaughter it." What's the trouble. ”

"Hey, don't forget, our rules, no orders from above, unless absolutely necessary, no one is allowed to attack others."

"Now it's a last resort!" Saying that, Li Yun stretched out his hand with a palm, Cheng Xiaolian had already taken precautions, and blocked this palm behind him, and then there was a flirtatious leg.

This trick is not learned from others, Cheng Xiaolian used to use this trick when he was fighting with others when he was in school, and he could defeat the enemy in the shortest possible time, but if he didn't master this trick well, it would be easy to hurt people's lives.

The shopkeeper was caught off guard, and was kicked to the ground by Cheng Xiaolian, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and then there was a sharp pain in his crotch.

The person next to him laughed: "Li Yun, Li Yun, I didn't expect you to have today, if this spreads, it is estimated that the guys will have to laugh off their big teeth." ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at the person: "Who are you?" ”

"Of course, he was a good person when he was peaceful and prosperous, but now, he doesn't want to be a good person."

Cheng Xiaolian sneered: "Pretending to be a god and making a ghost, what kind of crooked cult is it?" ”

The man pouted: "Boy, I don't like to hear what you say, our Light God Sect wants to bring light to the world, how can it be not a good person, if you understand our teachings, maybe you want to join us." ”
