Charming Dragon Emperor: Abandoned concubine, please respect yourself!

Chapter 281 The Sudden General Li

Qin Luoyan also sat down with a bowl of sour plum soup and drank it. She just smiled casually after listening to the gossip of a few people, because she didn't know Mr. Li, so let's just listen to these things as interesting things .

But before they finished their soup, someone hurried in from outside the yard.

It was a small guard from a workshop who came, and when he found Lao Liu, he gasped and said, "Brother Liu, have you finished the sword for General Li? It'll be there in an hour."

Old Liu, who was drinking the soup, spewed out a mouthful of sour plum soup. He turned around and gritted his teeth, "Grandma, didn't you promise to deliver the goods tomorrow? Why did it come all of a sudden!"

"Who knows, it seems that the young master of the Li family wanted to take a look in advance, so he came." The little guard was just passing on the news, and he felt aggrieved, "But the master of the workshop said, no matter what, this person is coming soon He can't stop him, so you must send the sword over within half an hour."

"Half an hour..." Lao Liu looked confused, picked up the bowl in his hand and smashed it on the ground, "Grandma, you bear, this is really embarrassing us!"

Several blacksmiths also looked anxious, put down the soup bowls in their hands and stood up, saying in a hurry: "What should we do? Although the sword is almost finished, there is still luster and details that we haven't sorted out yet. Well, General Li is notoriously picky, and he must be dissatisfied if this is taken out. It was hard for me to enter the weapons workshop, and the whole family is counting on me to live. If I lose this job..."

"Aren't I too? I'm still waiting to save enough money to get a beautiful wife." Another person echoed.

Old Liu couldn't help but sighed again, but seeing Qin Luoyan's calmness from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but ask with bright eyes: "Brother Qin, is there any good way?"

Qin Luoyan shook his head, "Is there any good way, the only way is to show them the sword first, but I think the most important thing about a weapon is its power. As for the appearance, good-looking is of course the best. If it’s really ugly, it doesn’t affect the overall situation.”

"That being said, General Li..." Lao Liu felt a little worried, "After all, this is your chance to stand out, and whether you can win Lord Li's favor or not is the key to your performance this time."

"The left and right things have reached this point, and we can only take one step at a time." Qin Luoyan stood up and greeted everyone: "Okay, it's too late anyway, so let's take advantage of half an hour. Trim the edges, but let’s not do it as for the appearance.”

Several blacksmiths hurriedly followed her words. After getting along with each other for a few days, several blacksmiths saw Qin Luoyan's weapon manufacturing skills in their eyes, so they admired her even more. Now what she said, how many People don't disagree at all.

A person, as long as he has strength, can be respected no matter where he is. This is why Qin Luoyan has always been confident.

It was getting dark, maybe there were visitors today, so lanterns were lit early in every corner of the weapon workshop, especially in the owner's yard, it felt brightly lit.

In the pavilion in the middle of the yard, the servants put all kinds of freshly prepared delicacies on the table, and the steward carefully pointed out that they even arranged the color matching of each dish, The guards were also standing in every corner of the yard, everyone's nerves were tense, lest they make a mistake in the process.

"Be careful with me. If General Li is not satisfied with anything, no one will be able to eat it later!" The steward arranged the dishes and loudly urged everyone in the yard.

Qin Luoyan followed Lao Liu into the courtyard with a long wooden box in his arms, and saw that everyone was in a state of preparedness, and he couldn't help becoming more and more puzzled, "Old Liu, why are everyone so nervous? It's only because of General Li Are you picky?"

Lao Liu took her to the side carefully and waited, and then answered her question in a low voice, "In fact, there are many generals who not only manage the army, but also manage some real power departments of the Ministry of War, just like General Li, who manages the warehouse of the Ministry of War. , A large part of the source of money for the weapon workshop comes from the warehouse, so can you say that the owner of the workshop can not pay attention to General Li?"

Whoever has milk is a mother!That's what happened!No wonder the arrival of General Li made the entire weapons workshop pay attention.

It was only then that Qin Luoyan suddenly realized that General Li had mastered the economic lifeline of the Ministry of War and was the financial source of the weapon workshop.

The two didn't say a few words, and saw the owner of the shop coming out of the yard with a jar of wine in his arms. Although the wine jar in his arms was covered with a cover, when he passed by, the aroma of wine was still overflowing.

In the eyes of the shop owner, small craftsmen like Qin Luoyan and Lao Liu are small roles, so they just nodded slightly when passing by.

Lao Liu hurriedly pulled Qin Luoyan to salute with fists in his hands, and only put his hands down after the workshop owner left.Seeing that Qin Luoyan didn't seem to take the owner seriously, Lao Liu frowned slightly, "Brother Qin, although there are people behind you and me, in this weapon workshop, the owner can be regarded as our boss. Be polite to the boss." There's no harm at all."

"Yes, I see." Qin Luoyan responded, but he still couldn't do his flattery.

The two stood outside the gazebo and waited respectfully. The owner of the shop put the wine jar on the stone table and then turned back to the two of them. He said to Old Liu, "Let me see the sword you made first. Let me have a look." How are you doing?"

"Master, don't worry, the sword is ready, it's just that there is no time to paint it..." Lao Liu opened the box when he was speaking, revealing the ordinary-looking sword inside.

When the owner of the shop saw it, his expression darkened immediately, and he raised his hand and slapped Lao Liu on the face, shouting: "This is the sword you are talking about? Just this kind of broken sword, you can find it in any workshop. You can pick out hundreds of pieces! You are the owner of my weapon workshop for nothing, and you don’t even have any vision?"

"Master, listen to me... This sword has just been tempered, so it looks a bit plain..." Lao Liu didn't care about his red and swollen cheeks and wanted to explain, but the master was obviously very angry, turned around and said He walked to the steward at the side and didn't listen to Lao Liu at all.

Old Liu wanted to say something, but Qin Luoyan held his arm. He was startled, and when he turned his face, he saw Qin Luoyan shaking his head at him.

"But..." Old Liu wanted to say a few more words.

Qin Luoyan sighed, "Don't worry, gold will always shine."
