Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 310 Meet the Iron Bull
Jin Yantang and others outside the palace still don't know what happened in the palace.

At this time, he was taking Fupu and Chen Shilang for a stroll in the busy city of West Street in the capital.

After noon, the people who went to the market began to disperse, and Jin Yantang came to a blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith was a muscular man in a linen undershirt.

He was very big and taller than Jin Yantang, and before everyone walked in, he heard knocking sounds coming from his subordinates.

"May I ask that your Excellency is a blacksmith?"

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from the shop, which sounded like a man and a woman.

Tie Niu kept moving his hands, then tapped and tapped, only looked up, and two brocade-clothed masters appeared in front of him, and the one who asked the question was the servant following the black-colored brocade-clothed master.

Fu Pu put on a disguise, and his appearance was quite different from that of the servant, even when Tieniu looked at him, he only felt a little familiar, and didn't recognize him.

"That's right, Tie Niu is me, what's the matter with the three of you?"

Tieniu only took a look at the images of the three of them, then looked away from them.

Jin Yantang has always been indifferent, and Chen Shilang and Fu Pu are more comfortable in communicating this kind of thing.

I saw Chen Shilang asking Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, to be honest, I don't have a single weapon in my hand. I heard that your weapon is the best here, so I brought the blueprint to ask you to build it." .”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Shilang smiled and handed over the blueprint.

Tie Niu kept moving his hands, and the sound of beating and tapping came from under his hands.

I saw him drooping his eyes to smelt the iron block under his hands, and did not accept the things he handed over.

Even so, Jin Yantang's gaze remained on Tieniu.

After his observation, the iron ox still had some skills. Every hammer he dropped had exactly the same force. The iron block was evenly stressed, and soon formed the shape of a kitchen knife.

At this time, Tie Niu said to Chen Shilang: "I don't make weapons here, my lord, you should go to the government to buy such things. If it's a beautiful saber, I can make it for you."

The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty clearly stipulated that ordinary people are not allowed to hide weapons privately, blacksmiths are not allowed to make weapons and sell them, and all those who work for the law must be beheaded.

This beheading means that neither buyers nor sellers can escape, and miners who provide materials for smelting weapons will also be implicated.

Under the layers of laws, who would dare to refine these?

I saw sickles, kitchen knives, hoes and the like hanging in his shop.

As if expecting Tieniu to refuse, Chen Shilang said again: "If you forge this Youlong Sword for me, I will give you this reward, which is double!"

He said, making a gesture of one.

Tieniu's eyes moved slightly, and finally stopped, and threw the iron block into the furnace for re-firing.

He wiped his hands and asked, "Your Master, does this number refer to 100 taels?"

For ordinary blacksmiths, the reward for making weapons is at most 100 taels, and no more.

But Chen Shilang shook his head after hearing this, and explained: "No, no, my son is not such a stingy person, he said 1000 taels, silver!"

1000 taels of silver!

If it is doubled, it will be 2000 taels...

Tieniu's heart was moved, and he took the blueprint from Chen Shilang's hand without hesitation, and looked at it.

I saw that the Youlongjian on this blueprint was designed very meticulously, and even the pattern seemed to be drawn after proper thinking.

The more Tie Niu looked, the brighter his eyes became.

Regardless of everyone's reaction, he accepted the blueprint and said to Chen Shilang: "Don't worry, I won't leak this blueprint. You come to get the sword in ten days. I need to find some materials."

Hearing this, Chen Shilang looked at Jin Yantang inquiringly, and Jin Yantang said to Tieniu: "Okay, I will pick it up in person in ten days."

Although Jin Yantang was seldom talkative and didn't seem easy to get in touch with, Tieniu could feel the nobility in him.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Jin Yantang took Fupu and Chen Shilang away from Tieniu's blacksmith shop.

After leaving the blacksmith's shop, several people went to the inn for dinner, and Fu Pu waited beside Jin Yantang.

Chen Shilang said to Jin Yantang in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your Majesty, that iron ox doesn't look simple. I think his smelting movements are proficient and flexible, and he doesn't feel bulky when he lifts the hammer. The hammer weighs at least twenty catties, but in his hands, he swings it freely, which shows that his inner strength is excellent."

As soon as the words came out, Jin Yantang did not object, but nodded, with a dark light flashing in his eyes and said: "If this iron bull can be handed over to me, it will also be a great help to me."

Tie Niu... I remember you!

After pouring wine for the two of them, Fu Pu asked, "Your Majesty, do we want to go back to the palace now? The servants will come to pick it up in ten days."

Shaking his head, Jin Yantang got up and walked out, Chen Shilang followed behind him, only to hear him say: "Ten days later, I will come to pick it up in person."

Fupu was stunned for a moment, then quickly slapped a tael of silver on the table, and followed Jin Yantang and Chen Shilang towards the palace.

After Jin Yantang and others left, Tie Niu closed the door of the blacksmith shop, went into the dark room, lit the kerosene lamp, and studied the design drawings left by Chen Shilang.

Sometimes he thought deeply and made gestures, and then he seemed to have settled down, ready to walk from the dark room to Shang Kelin's study in Zuo Xiangfu.

At this moment, the secret door opened, and Shang Kelin and Chen Yetan walked in.

"Brother Tie Niu, is your injury better? I brought Xiao Ye to see you."

As soon as the words fell, Shang Kelin brought Chen Yetan to Tieniu.

Tieniu put away the drawings, looked at Shang Kelin, and said, "Brother Shang, give me my reward first, and I'm going to buy some materials to make swords."

Those who are familiar with Tieniu will know that he is a master of weapons, and the weapons produced by him on weekdays, whether it is hidden weapons or swords, are highly sought after on the black market.

It can often be auctioned for a very high price, but Tieniu never does this. He will only give these weapons to the young talents he is optimistic about.

Shang Kelin smiled heartily, took out a 500 tael bank note from his pocket and handed it to him, "Of course, it's yours."

Chen Yetan skillfully sat down on the chair, poured himself a glass of water and drank it, and said to Shang Kelin as if chatting, "I said, if you have nothing to do, run to drink flower wine, or come to this blacksmith shop, you Are you keeping your clever big head just to pretend to be crazy in front of people? If I had your status, I would have made myself stronger, so that the women in the harem would not dare to bully my sister."

Glancing at her lightly, Shang Kelin said: "I've already found those assassins. They are a rogue organization located in Zhejiang Province on the rivers and lakes. Their families are all kept secret. It is impossible to find out who instigated them." Assassinate Lan Er."

Tie Niu held the bank note in his hand, it was not too late outside, and it was a little bright, so he thanked Shang Kelin, asked Chen Yetan to look after the shop for him, and left to buy materials.

After a few people came out of the dark room, Chen Yetan couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Oh, I always feel so boring, young master, why don't you find something for the servants to do?"

Chen Yetan suspects that Shang Kelin already knew that she was a daughter, otherwise why would he keep dressing himself as a woman by Mrs. Shang's side?
