Yipin Tang

Chapter 282 Luoyang Hercules

There are as many nobles in Chang'an as dogs. Lord Hou walks everywhere. I don't know how many people I have seen guarding the gate of Luoyang all the year round. I still have this insight. Just by looking at the temperament of Wang Xiang and Li Zhi, I know that I can't offend people. , The smiles on the faces of the defenders became even brighter.

"You have a lot of carriages and horses, and it's your first time in Luoyang, so this...you have to check it out routinely. I hope you don't make things difficult for us."

The things on the carriage were ordinary things, so there was nothing that couldn’t be inspected. Wang Xiang nodded and said, “Routine inspections should be done, so you can take a look if you want.”

Seeing that Wang Xiang was easy to talk to, the soldiers defending the city also breathed a sigh of relief. In the past, he often met some dandies from Chang'an. They were arrogant and domineering in Chang'an. When they arrived in Luoyang, they even looked down on the soldiers defending the city. When they heard it, they wanted to check themselves The chariots and horses will fly into a rage.

With Wang Xiang's consent, the leading soldier called the other soldiers to inspect the chariots and horses together.

"In this carriage are the female relatives of my family."

Hearing Wang Xiang's words, the soldier who was about to lift the curtain retracted his hand and smiled awkwardly: "Since it is a carriage for the women's family members, there is no need to check this one."

After finishing speaking, he went to the back to check the other carriages. The more he checked, the more surprised the soldiers were.Who is Li Zhi? He is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Can the things prepared by Empress Changsun be bad? Besides, Wang Xiang, he usually looks down on the treasures in the palace, so the things he brings are naturally even more extraordinary.

Several soldiers looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Who are these people? The things on the carriage are more expensive than those in the county magistrate's mansion. I saw it just now. The basins for washing seem to be all gold."

"It's not just a basin for washing. Did you see the beads on the clothes? One of them can cover the salary of Lord General for a year!"

What they were talking about was the washing basin and replacement clothes that Empress Changsun had prepared for Li Zhi.

The leader of the soldiers secretly glanced at Wang Xiang and Li Zhi who were joking and said softly: "Don't inquire about what you shouldn't inquire about. These noble young masters from Chang'an have a strange temper. Don't look at his amiable face just now. It's hard to say when to provoke him." We are the ones who are angry with him, and the general will not offend those sons and brothers from Chang'an just because of us."

"That's right, what the captain said was, let's finish the inspection and let it go. A few days ago, Lao Fang offended a young master of the Duke's mansion because of his slow inspection, and he even lost his job."

The carriages in front were filled with daily necessities. When the last carriage was checked, several soldiers breathed out. Wang Xiang looked back suspiciously. It turned out that they saw the iron egg placed on the carriage. giant axe.

"Oh, that's the weapon used by my guards. It's too heavy so I put it on the carriage temporarily." Wang Xiang said lightly.

"Soldiers...weapons."

Wang Xiang frowned: "Why, Luoyang is not allowed to bring weapons into the city?" There is no such rule in Chang'an.

Seeing Wang Xiang frowning, the soldier suddenly explained in his heart: "No, no, it can be carried, but this... this..."

What he wanted to say was, is this really a human weapon...

Seeing this, Tie Dan stomped to the back and picked up the giant ax with one hand and picked it up easily.

This time, the sound of breathing became louder, and many people saw Tie Dan's incomparably impressive giant axe. As for the rapier that was placed with the giant axe, no one noticed at all.

"See if that giant ax is there, at least it weighs eighty catties."

"What eighty catties? There is a blacksmith near our house. No matter how big an ax is, it will weigh no less than 120 catties."

"Hiss... 120 catties! Isn't his strength stronger than Niu Da in the east of the city?"

"Well, I'm afraid it is. The big hammer Niu Da used only weighed a hundred catties."

Hearing the discussions among the surrounding people, Wang Xiang suddenly felt a little curious. Could there be a person with natural supernatural power in Luoyang City?
"Who is Niu Da they are talking about?"

At this time, the soldiers also recovered from their shock, and when they heard Wang Xiang's question, they hurried forward and replied: "Niu Da is our strongman in Luoyang City, he can make a sledgehammer, and our Lord General will come to invite you personally." When he came to the camp as a general, he refused, but set up a ring in the east of the city, saying that whoever can beat him in strength can win 500 taels of silver from him."

Wang Xiang smiled when he heard the words: "I'm afraid it's not a free competition."

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Anyone who wants to compete with him has to pay five liang of silver first."

"One hundred times the odds, he is very confident." Wang Xiang smiled again.

"Every day, many strong men who think they are supernatural come from all over the world to compete with Niu Da, but no one has ever been able to beat him." The soldier glanced at Tie Dan standing next to Wang Xiang and said, "But the one next to you, Mr. This warrior can wield a huge ax weighing more than 100 jin, so I am afraid that his strength is not weaker than Niu Da, but he has the hope of defeating him."

The little loli on the side couldn't help interjecting after hearing what the soldier said: "What's so great about a 260-jin sledgehammer, but Tie Dan's ax weighs [-] jin. How can Niu Da compare with Tie Dan?"

"Two... 260 catties!"

Little Lolita's voice was crisp and clear, and the people around her naturally heard her words. It is already a natural power to make a sledgehammer of 260 catties, and [-] catties is unimaginable.

Hearing everyone's surprised cries, Little Lolita became even more proud, as if she was the one who could wield the big axe.

Someone who knows a little bit about blacksmithing doubted: "Even if it is all made of refined iron, such a big ax can only weigh about 140 catties at most. How can it weigh 260 catties?"

Seeing someone doubting her little loli, she immediately opened her mouth to argue: "This ax can be used..."

"Ernan." Wang Xiang interrupted little Lolita lightly, he didn't want to reveal too much in line with the principle of low-key outings, and now they are already eye-catching enough.

Knowing that she had said too much, little loli stuck out her tongue and turned around to get into the carriage, and couldn't help poking her head out to emphasize to the people watching outside: "It's really 260 catties." After speaking, she quickly retracted her head.

Wang Xiang shook his head helplessly and asked the soldier standing beside him stupidly: "Have you finished checking the carriage?"

The soldier who had just been stunned by 260 Jin nodded numbly when he heard Wang Xiang's question.

"Now that the inspection is over, let's go into the city. It's getting late, and we have to find a place to stay after entering the city."

Sleeping outdoors for several consecutive days, Wang Xiang had long wanted to find an inn to sleep comfortably.

Carrying a huge ax into the city was too ostentatious, Tie Dan put the giant ax in the last carriage again, and then jumped into the driving position, Wang Xiang and Li Zhi also boarded the carriage, and the seven carriages were mighty. Entering Luoyang City, there are still many people talking about it.
