Chapter 203 The Capital

Chapter 130 Capital City

Although the royal power is not very powerful, the scale of the capital is indeed really big enough.Even if the big aristocratic families paid lip service to the royal family, they didn't care at all, but the scale of the imperial city was also the most splendid and largest among all the cities Wang Sheng had ever seen.

It took Wang Sheng five full days to go around the entire capital.In this era, there are no cars or other means of transportation, and the capital is an important part of the imperial city. Ordinary people are not allowed to gallop on horses at all. Wang Sheng can only walk to see the entire capital.

Laojunguan is on the outskirts of the city, not in the city, so don't rush there.After Wang Sheng settled down and prepared, he went straight to Tiangongfang in the capital.It is said that the stronghold of Linglong Pavilion in the capital is within Tiangongfang.

But Wang Sheng went around Tiangongfang a lot, but he didn't see a shop with the signboard of Linglong Pavilion.On the contrary, there are various small shops in Tiangongfang, most of which are handicrafts.Blacksmith shops, tailor shops, at a glance, they are all small shops like this.

There are hundreds of stores, large and small, but none of them has a name similar to Linglong Pavilion.

The source of the news was not particularly official, it was Wang Sheng who accidentally heard it from the proprietress of Baoqing Yutang.What she said at the time was unintentional, but Wang Sheng remembered it in her heart.

If it wasn't for the proprietress, no one would easily tell Wang Sheng if he wanted to know about Linglong Pavilion.How can someone who can be related to Linglong Pavilion casually tell irrelevant people about his most exquisite and high-end supply sources?

But when he got to the ground, he found that it was such a situation, which made Wang Sheng dumbfounded.I still underestimated these profiteers, and there was no truth in my mouth.No, even the female proprietress who looks so good and has such a soft voice knows that she is inadvertently deceiving.

There must be semicolons of Baoqing Yutang and Yubaozhai in the capital, but Wang Sheng will definitely not send them to the door.It's too late to hide his identity. At this time, he's famous in the capital, and he won't be attacked by a pack of wolves?This is not the city of worry-free. Anyway, those guys in the inner city of worry-free city are a little bit scrupulous about doing things, but those guys in the capital city can be unscrupulous.

The jade plaque given by the old eunuch said it would work in the capital, and Wang Sheng firmly believed in this.However, as long as it is revealed, Wang Sheng may have to get involved with the royal family.

For the time being, Wang Sheng doesn't want to have anything to do with the royal family.At present, Wang Sheng still doesn't see the benefits of being related to the royal family, and doesn't see the possibility that the royal family can help him find the girl of his dreams. Therefore, at this time, Wang Sheng will never use the old eunuch's jade card lightly.

After pondering for a while, Wang Sheng smiled self-deprecatingly, it's all here, let's take a look!Eyes began to be placed on these small shops.

It has to be said that the name Tiangongfang is not for nothing.This place looks like a hodgepodge of hundreds of workshops, with everything.Wang Sheng even saw a restaurant, the fat chef inside was skillfully shaking the spoon, it was Wang Sheng's craftsmanship at first glance.

Unexpectedly, in such a short time, the skill of cooking has already spread from the city of worry-free to the capital.Wang Sheng is not in the mood right now, so he happened to stop by to have a look.

After walking a few steps, there was a burst of cursing from the nearby shop, and then two figures came out of the shop.

"What nonsense? It's just building a weapon and you still talk so much, you deserve it because you have no business!" The one who walked in front saw that he was a rich man, muttering in his mouth, with an unhappy expression on his face.

Behind the young master, followed by a servant in green clothes and a small hat, bent slightly, echoed his own young master, and scolded the owner of the shop behind him: "That's right, a bad old man, can he still pick up a sledgehammer?" ? I also want the young master to help him swing the sledgehammer, what a beautiful idea!"

The master, the servant, the singing, and the servant left unhappy, but Wang Sheng became interested in the blacksmith's shop that didn't even have a signboard at the door.There is a lot to say about the blacksmith making weapons?What did you say?
Wang Sheng strolled into this dilapidated-looking blacksmith's shop, and when he entered the door, he saw the bad old man that the master and servant said.

He is indeed a bad old man, with white hair all over his head, and his gray and black clothes, which are not considered broken, but there are many small holes scattered on them, which look like they were burnt out by the sparks in the stove.The old man's hands were also smoky-colored and covered with calluses.

The old man who blacksmithed seemed to be in good shape, not at all like the two masters and servants who couldn't even lift a sledgehammer.However, he was old after all, and the guests had already left. The old man was sitting on a bench in front of the stove, staring blankly at the fire.

"What kind of weapon do you want?" Hearing Wang Sheng's footsteps, the old man asked Wang Sheng without raising his head: "If you use it for yourself, it's best to participate in it yourself. The weapon you make with a sledgehammer is the best weapon." Suitable for your own use."

With this sentence, Wang Sheng knew what the master and servant were talking about just now.The old man asked the young man to swing the sledgehammer, probably because of what they said, is this the old man's rule?

"You're the only one. If you don't have enough people, you can't say enough. What are you talking about?" Wang Sheng didn't answer his question, but smiled and told the truth he saw.

The old man was the only one in the blacksmith shop. No matter what he wanted to build, the old man had a pliers in one hand and a small hammer in the other.Wang Sheng's eyes began to look elsewhere, and finally his eyes fell on the sledgehammer leaning on the anvil.

Hearing Wang Sheng's words, the old man's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he looked up at Wang Sheng, with a smile on his face: "Can you swing a sledgehammer?"

The whole blacksmith's shop looked dilapidated, but there were two places that were very tidy, one was on the stove, and the other was on the side of the anvil.No need to ask, the owner must have taken good care of it.However, this is not what attracted Wang Sheng. The reason why Wang Sheng laughed was that the stove had no bellows.

No bellows next to the stove in the smithy?is it possible?In Wuyou City, Linchuan City, and Shanglin City, Wang Sheng saw many ordinary blacksmith shops, each of which was equipped with a bellows.How can the temperature of the fire be raised without a bellows?How can you create a good object?
But in this blacksmith shop, there are obviously finished products.Although those finished products may only be considered regular in appearance, they are still finished products after all.

So, there is only a bad old man, no one to help with a sledgehammer, no bellows to raise the temperature of the flame, how are those finished products made?

"Know how to swing." Wang Sheng also laughed and replied: "But I don't know how serious it is."
