Mirror of Permanence

Chapter 85 The Existence of the Traitor

Lu Ye and I are in the blacksmith shop, learning some forging skills wholeheartedly.

It is undeniable that some forging technologies in the cold weapon era are very backward compared with modern times, but there are also some bright spots in it.

Even some objects forged by lost technologies cannot be replicated in modern times.

In short, Lu also concentrated on learning forging skills from these blacksmiths, but some people in the gathering place couldn't sit still.

Lu Ye was putting a piece of red-hot iron on the anvil, and holding a hammer in his hand, he kept beating it.

This kind of forging process seems simple, but in actual operation, it will be found to be very difficult.

Strength, stamina, heat resistance, as well as hand stability and accuracy are all very important.

What Lu also built was a small piece of arrowhead. He planned to attach a string to the back after it was finished and use it as a chain dart or flying claw.

Just when Lu Ye was concentrating on blacksmithing, there was a commotion outside the door.

"Is that little boy in there, tell him to come out!" A man shouted from outside the door, and there was a loud knock on the door: "Little boy, open the door!"

"You have the ability to deceive people, you have the ability to open the door!"

This sentence made Lu Ye's face twitch, the hammer in his hand was directly knocked crooked, and the arrow that was gradually forming was directly deformed.

Lu also didn't have the consciousness to continue forging.

He was the only one who used Aunt Xue's [-]th style to knock on other people's doors. Today, someone knocked on him like this. He wants to see who is so bold.

The gate of the yard was opened directly, and a strong man who was two heads taller than Lu Ye immediately focused his ferocious eyes on Lu Ye.

"Sure enough, it's a little boy!" The strong man's eyes were fierce, his muscles trembled, he pressed his hand on the door frame, and shouted like a tiger roaring: "I am Liang Husheng, little boy, come and have a competition, let me see you What kind of ability do you have to fight against so many green-blooded servants alone!"

"Or, you kid has deceived everyone and the discussion, you are a white-faced liar at all!" Liang Husheng stared at Lu Ye with a pair of eyes, as long as Lu Ye showed timidity, he would immediately press down on him, and he was bound to kill this little white-faced Squeeze out his foundation, let everyone see that he is very good at Liang Husheng.

Lu also looked at Liang Husheng's posture and understood why the other party was so angry.

Zhang Li discussed matters and led the team to meet them, but only to meet them. Except for a few escaped people, not many people saw Lu Ye fighting with the servants.

There must still be spies hidden in the city of relics, but the information they convey is generally only passed on to the high-level leaders of the gathering place, and most people are not aware of their existence. This is also to ensure the safety of the spies.

Therefore, the high-level executives of the gathering place are aware of Lu Ye's true ability, and some people also promote it in this way. In this era, the role of a hero is invaluable.

However, the bad thing is that the information is not comprehensive.

The higher-ups only said that Lu also took away the celestial weapons from the inner ruins and fought against a large number of servants alone.

But when Lu Ye came, Zhang Li brought it with him. Many people could see clearly that Lu Ye didn't bring too many items, and Zhang Li's team didn't bring those celestial weapons, which made those people feel a little false.

In addition, Lu Ye's figure was not as thick-backed as they thought, which deepened their doubts.

In particular, Lu Ye has been sought after by countless female warriors these days relying on his reputation, and being able to forge weapons with good iron makes people jealous.

The simplicity of the folk customs does not mean that the people here are not jealous, but their jealousy is on the bright side.

Especially those who escaped from the city of relics, those who escaped through other channels did not see Lu Ye fighting with the servants, and those who saw it, because Lu Ye used them as a shield to hate Lu Ye, how could it be possible for Lu Ye? say.

Especially in these days, Lu also avoids those strong women, which seems to be a problem.

A woman like Liniang with a thick back and a waist who can run like Lu Ye on her arms, but the peerless beauty who can be ranked in the entire gathering place, if replaced by someone like Hongda, Liniang would lick her fingers and he would be pissed ran over.

In the end, this little boy named Y actually refused Liniang's stay.

They don't know or care about Lu Ye's aesthetics.

The most common thing people do is to use their self-concept to guess the behavior of others, and use their own ideas to explain the ideas of others.

The further development of this kind of behavior has become "public knowledge", forming a set of "truths" that conform to their thinking logic with their own ideas, and those that do not conform to their ideas must have problems and must be immoral Know, stand on the moral high ground, and criticize everything that does not conform to their cognition.

I think, I think, I think, and so on, all the starting moves are extremely proficient.

So such a rumor spread in the gathering place.

The rumor was brought up by someone with some reputation in the meeting place: the guy named Y, the reason why he rejected Liniang must be because of his poor health, he is a good-for-nothing, he was afraid that he would reveal his secrets when he went to the kang, so he kept rejecting Liniang.

So more and more people began to suspect that Qi Lu also came, and that famous person further derived a guess: this little boy named Y actually has no real skills, and he didn't take away the heavenly weapon. High ground, he is such a complete liar!

Well, it is also a good trick of the "public intellectuals" to describe speculation as an established fact.

This kind of gossip is still very marketable. Most people have a kind of latent malice towards famous people, so every time a celebrity has a scandal, it seems to be a full-name carnival.

So driven by such rumors, a tough guy like Liang Husheng with a simple mind and well-developed limbs came directly to his door.

If he beat Lu Ye up, countless people would applaud him and call him a hero, and the rumors against Lu Ye would become more fierce.

If Lu also has real skills and proves it, then we are just guessing and questioning reasonably. This is for the safety of the gathering place. Anyway, guessing is not against the law. It's none of my business to lose my family.

They can always stand on the commanding heights.

Regarding this matter, Lu Ye is skeptical. Under normal circumstances, if there are high-level executives in the gathering place who endorse Lu Ye, then ordinary people will not doubt Lu Ye. The credibility of the high-level officials is still very strong. There will be a storm so quickly that someone will call at the door.

And there are two main places where this rumor is questioned. One is that Lu has no real ability, and the other is that Lu did not bring back the heavenly weapon.

The high-level people know that the heavenly weapons are hidden in the city of relics, and the people underground generally don't pay too much attention to the heavenly weapons that they cannot use.

This made Lu Ye have to suspect that there were also green-blooded spies lurking in the gathering place. This disturbance was caused by their influence and promotion. The purpose was nothing more than to retaliate against Lu Ye and test the location of the heavenly weapons.

Of course, for now, Lu also has to pass Liang Husheng first, and then consider the issue of arresting the traitor.
