Dakui sat in the middle hall and slowly sipped a few sips of fragrant tea, then got up and went back to the back house. Huang Ying heard that Dakui was back and welcomed him out early, and the couple went back to the inner house hand in hand.
Meng Ge took the order and left Zhang's Mansion and went straight to the west of the city. There was a blacksmith shop in the west of Yingtian City. The blacksmith was a middle-aged man. He also served in the Chang Yuchun Army in his early years, so he met Meng Ge.
He had two hammers, but because he was better at forging weapons, he opened a blacksmith shop in the west of the city.
This man's surname is Ou, because he used a hammer when he was in the army and also used hammers when forging iron, so people called him Ou Dachui. As for his name, few people know. Although this man is vulgar, he is highly skilled in martial arts.
One of the five tigers under Chang Yuchun's tent.
Back then, Meng Ge asked him to make two good swords, but he competed with Meng Ge to determine the winner. He once said that if he lost, he would give Meng Ge a pair of good swords, and if he won, he would charge double the price. Because he was in the army at that time
Zhongqu Sledgehammer is one of the best blacksmiths, so if it is not a conventional weapon, you have to pay, and the price of District Sledgehammer is also high, usually ten taels of silver for a long knife. This price prohibits many people, but there is nothing they can do.
Unexpectedly, the battle between him and Brother Meng was a draw. In desperation, Ou Dachui made Meng Ge a pair of butcher knives for free. They were the same two that Meng Ge used in Shunyuan City. Although they were butcher knives.
, but it was like cutting iron like mud. When Yang Xiaohu was holding a bamboo pole, he chopped it off like he was cutting tofu. He even used his superb knife skills to cut Yang Xiaohu's clothes into pieces.
Firstly, it relies on the proficiency of martial arts, and secondly, it relies on the sharpness of the sword.
Meng Ge came to the west of the city, found Ou Dachi's blacksmith shop, and walked in with a smile. Ou Dachi was busy directing his two apprentices to work, but he was making iron hoes.
This kind of small work is all done by apprentices, but Ou Dachui stood on the side and commanded meticulously. Meng Ge saw that Ou Dachui was still the same as before and couldn't help laughing: "Ou Dachui, do you still recognize me?"
"
Ou Dachui looked up and couldn't help but said in surprise: "It's you, boy. Come on, let's talk in the back room." After saying that, he invited Meng Ge into the back room. The room was very simple. There was a bed, a table, three or five people.
bench.
After Meng Ge and Ou Dachui sat down, Ou Dachui asked first, "I wonder where you are making a fortune now? You have a good outfit."
Meng Ge is now a guest of the Zhang Mansion, so he is naturally dressed in brocade. Seeing Ou Dachui ask, Meng Ge chuckled and said, "I found a good place, and today I came to my brother to enjoy the happiness with me!
"
Ou Dachui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going?"
Meng Ge smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of the mighty general of the Jiangbei Red Turban Army?"
Ou Dachui was stunned and said: "Of course I have heard of it, but whoever has some knowledge doesn't know about it?"
Meng Ge smiled proudly and said: "My little brother, I am now a disciple of his. Considering that you are talented, you might as well join him with me. It would be better than suffering the consequences of working here."
Ou Dachui couldn't help but wonder: "Although I am here to forge iron, I am not free. I still have military status, how can I change my job to someone else?" After saying this, they rubbed their hands together in embarrassment.
Meng Ge Su Rong asked: "I have a way. I just want to ask my brother, are you willing to join me in joining Shenwei General Zhang?"
Hearing this, Ou Dachui chuckled and said, "If brother really has a way, I won't have a problem with it."
Meng Ge chuckled and said, "In that case, I will go back and talk to General Zhang." Just as he was about to turn around, he turned back and said, "Now that General Zhang has been appointed as the envoy to the south of the Yangtze River by King Wu, please wait for my news again.
"
After Meng Ge finished speaking, he walked out of the back room, walked to two young men who were making iron, and said, "Oh, my young man's body is really strong." The two young men who were working were standing by the stove, sweating profusely, and melting a piece of red-hot iron. I clamped it with iron pliers, put it on the sticky iron and beat it, even though the weather was very cold, I was shirtless.
Although the two men heard what Meng Ge said, they didn't dare to respond. Ou Dachui once said that no matter what he did, he should concentrate on it, but there was no other way. These two young men were both blacksmiths in the military camp, because they admired Ou Dachui. He came here to learn the craftsmanship from his master.
Ou Dachui sent Meng Ge a long way away before returning to the blacksmith shop...
Meng Ge returned to Zhang Mansion and met Da Kui, and told Da Kui about Ou Dachui in detail. Hearing this, Dakui couldn't help but thought: "Meng Ge is already by my side. If I go to get Ou Dachui again, I think Chang Yuchun will be there." We will not give up and give up. We must think of a perfect strategy.'
Da Kui had an idea and laughed loudly: "I have an idea. I'll go find Brother Tang for help."
Meng Ge heard this and said quickly: "Mr. Zhang doesn't know something. General Tang also asked General Chang to lend Ou Dachui to the Zuo Army several times, but General Chang refused. This shows Ou Dachui's craftsmanship and reputation. .The adults still need to think of another way."
After hearing this, Dakui paced back and forth in the room, and finally said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it all depends on my own methods."
At noon that day, Dakui invited Tang He and Chang Yuchun to a banquet in his mansion. During the banquet, Dakui never mentioned Ou Dachui's affairs, but often talked about state affairs, family affairs and people's affairs with the two governors. They were both hot-blooded men, and naturally they talked in a contemplative manner. .
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Dakui frowned and sighed: "Hey, although I am a second-grade court official, I have also been on the battlefield, so I like martial arts. But until now, I still don't have a decent weapon. Hey..." Dakui looked like a farmer, and he looked honest and honest. The way he sighed was really unbearable.
Upon seeing this, Tang He advised: "Brother Da Kui, don't worry. It's not easy to get weapons. Just tell us what weapons you want. Brother Tang will definitely help you get them."
Dakui sighed and said: "I am good at using spears, and I always want to build a peerless spear. It's a pity. Although I have hundreds of kilograms of fine iron in my house, I suffer from the lack of skilled craftsmen who are proficient in this art." After saying this, he sighed again. He picked up the wine glass and said: "Forget it, I won't talk about these unpleasant things when I get together with my two brothers today. Come on, I will do it first as a courtesy."
Chang Yuchun frowned when he heard this, but didn't think much about it. The three of them drank again, but Dakui began to sigh again: "They say a good horse has a good saddle, but I, Zhang Dakui, don't even want a good weapon." I can't even do it, hey..." He poured himself a drink and drank two cups.
Chang Yuchun just didn't speak on the side, but after drinking for a while, he heard Dakui sigh again, and couldn't help but said: "Brother, what's wrong with you? There is someone under Chang's account who can relieve the pain in brother's heart. This person's surname is Qu Ou Zhengyan, this man is amazing, he is the descendant of Ou Yezi from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period..." Chang Yuchun drank too much and finally told the truth.
This was what Dakui was waiting for. He then fanned the flames and said, "If there really is such a person, then my weapon will be there. Thank you very much."
