Cangyan City is located in the center of the Cangyan Basin and is the largest city in the Cangyan region.
However, there is no official road leading directly from Cangyan Mountain to Cangyan City. In most cases, if you want to go from the eastern part of Cangyan area to Cangyan City, you have to pass through a place called a small town that is actually a small city - Shuang
Well Town.
Shuangjing Town is not far from Cangyan City, only a few dozen miles away. Not only does it have the largest iron ore mine in Li County, but it also has the largest salt lake in the entire Southwest Hanzhou. It is a unique place.
On this day, a team came from the east gate of Shuangjing Town. They were equipped with ten blood-colored cavalry guards equipped with visors. With the prefect's order, they could enter the city without queuing. This caused the long entering team at the city gate to whisper. I don't know what happened.
There were big shots from somewhere sitting in several large carriages, especially the tallest and spacious carriage, which was really impressive.
After entering the city, the convoy rushed to the business district.
The commercial district of Shuangjing Town is composed of four spacious streets in the shape of a "well". They are Xinshui Street, which mainly sells agricultural and animal husbandry products such as grains and vegetables, Tongjia Lane, which mainly sells clothing, cloth and other daily necessities, and liquor shops and brothels.
The main Yanliu Lane and Huayu Lane are dominated by craftsmen shops such as Tiemu Pottery. Among them, the most spacious Xinshui Street and Huayu Lane expand into a small circular square where hawkers set up their stalls in their spare time.
, the most popular place in the small town announced by Shifu Yamen.
The motorcade moved forward slowly, and all pedestrians in the small town had to stay away from each other. Under the gaze of everyone in the small town, the motorcade stopped in the corner of the small square, in front of the largest two-story blacksmith shop at the end of Huayu Lane.
The old coachman driving the largest carriage was the first to jump out of the car and said to the tall man headed by the blood rider, "This is it. The backyard of their blacksmith shop is quite big. You can lead the horses behind and have a rest."
We are all old friends." He turned to the carriage driver who was carrying the beautiful woman and the two Wangchuan sword cultivators and said, "You guys can also drive to the backyard and wait, the young master and I will go in and chat and leave soon."
The tall cavalry leader made a cavalry salute and then dismounted from his horse. He went to the gate of the backyard of the blacksmith shop first. A fat black blacksmith shop boy who still had some baby fat just ran out. When he saw the ten people in front of him, he could only see his eyes.
The bloody cavalrymen were immediately frightened and did not dare to move. They dared to stop them.
"Xiao Dunzi, why don't you quickly lead the military masters to the backyard to wash the horses? What are you doing standing still?" A rough voice came from the blacksmith shop, and then an old man with dark skin, messy hair and beard was carrying an iron
Hammer walked out of the house and kicked the fat boy who was still standing in a daze at the door of the shop on the buttocks, making him jump up and down.
The fat boy jumped down the steps in a hurry, and while responding repeatedly, he cautiously ran to the tall cavalryman and led the way to the backyard.
Then the old man with the hammer looked at the old coachman and said with a smile, "Who am I asking? It turns out to be you, little brat. I heard that you went to Zhongjing City to hang out, but I didn't expect you to come back?
"
He was about to insult the old coachman a few more words, but when he saw a man and two women jumping out of the carriage behind him, he stopped and just looked at the three people carefully.
The old coachman had already walked up to him and said with a wry smile, "Look, you should save some face for me in front of the younger generations. Now I'm old, too." He leaned closer and lowered his voice and said, "I'll give it to you this time."
I really got some good materials, so I will go straight to your old place."
"Oh? Did your kid get some treasures from Zhongjing City?" The old blacksmith and the old coachman were talking, but their eyes were still just wandering around the young man beside the carriage, "Where did you, old boy, come from?"
"He glanced at the blood knight in the backyard again and narrowed his eyes and said, "...is it him?"
The old coachman looked back at Luochuan and nodded.
Luo Chuan had already walked over. When he saw the old blacksmith, he bowed respectfully and said, "Junior Luo Chuan, I have met my senior."
The old blacksmith looked straight and returned the salute, saying, "Young old man is just a small town blacksmith, so he is not worthy of such a great gift from the young master."
"Let's go, let's go, we are all in front of this shop, don't let others see it as a joke," the old coachman glanced at the eyes of the passers-by around him, then took the old blacksmith's arm and walked towards the blacksmith shop. It was obviously true.
familiar.
But the old blacksmith struggled hard and shouted angrily, "Who is one of your own, and you want to ask the old man to work hard for you for nothing? No way!!"
Luochuan smiled and entered the shop with Siqi and the young female Taoist.
After entering the shop, I discovered that the interior is quite large, occupying the entire street corner. The wall shelves are densely covered with various ironware. The largest number are naturally various farm tools, as well as daily necessities such as iron pots and kitchen knives.
There are also large and small iron bar embryos in various styles. On the contrary, the weapons that Luo Chuan originally thought should account for the majority are only in one corner, scattered and pitiful.
Walking further inside, there is a huge furnace and forging area. Two sturdy men are banging, and the banging is weakened when they see beautiful women like Siqi and the young female road passing by.
After a while, when a few people passed through and went to the back, the sound of blacksmithing became heavier again, louder than before.
After walking all the way through the shop front and twisting and turning to the back of the shop, and then going up the stairs to the second floor, Luo Chuan discovered that the second floor of the blacksmith shop was actually quite elegantly decorated. Not only was the area large, clean and tidy, but the decorations were also
There are many tables and chairs that look very comfortable, either one table and two chairs, or one table and four chairs, scattered everywhere, as if this is a carpenter's shop selling furniture.
The old coachman took the old man from the blacksmith shop and sat down at a big table in front of the second-floor window. He waved to the people in Luochuan and then said to the old blacksmith, "The treasure I got this time is amazing. It's
The tail needle and inner elixir of a six-level poisonous scorpion." He reached out and carefully took out these two items from the personal package in his arms and placed them on the table. "How are they? How is the quality?"
After hearing what the old coachman said, not only the old blacksmith looked at the items wrapped in cloth in surprise, but also Siqi and the young female Taoist came to the table to look at it. Only Luo Chuan smiled and walked to the window.
I opened a corner of the window and looked down at this prosperous small city market. I looked at the hawkers and pedestrians coming and going, thinking about things.
"Hmm..." The old blacksmith picked up the light green bead and looked at it. He used a strange fabric to cushion the dark poisonous needle and looked at it several times before nodding seriously and saying, "Alright.
The poisonous scorpion elixir and tail needle are really of the highest quality, especially this tail needle. Judging from the complicated texture, it may have other functions..." He raised his head and glanced at the old coachman and said, "I haven't seen him in more than ten years.
, your luck is much better than before."
The old coachman chuckled, then rubbed his hands, brought them to his mouth, took a breath and said, "How about, can you forge a top-quality flying needle?"
The old blacksmith snorted and put the poisonous needle back on the table and said to the old coachman, "It's somewhat possible, but if you really want to forge a top-quality flying needle, these two main materials alone are far from enough. Even if the old man
I don’t ask you for the labor fee, but you still have to pay for these auxiliary materials. Besides..." He glanced at Luochuan by the window and then looked at the old coachman and said, "This kind of flying
Acupuncture is too harmful to one's moral integrity. If it does happen, who are you going to use it on...?"
