At this time, only Dongzhang was left on the second floor of the inn, sitting in a daze by the window. What's wrong with everyone? Why do you run away when you see me? Could it be that the incident of looting and changing money had been spread a few months ago?
After much deliberation, this was the only possibility, otherwise it would be impossible for someone to be afraid of him like this. He must have heard the 'exaggerated' version of the rumors. Dongzhang held his chin in depression and stared at the scenery outside the window.
After a while, more diners came up to the second floor in twos and threes. After all, there were only a few people who knew Dong Zhang. It was impossible that all of them were from the street. Only then did the second floor of the inn become lively again, which made Dong Zhang depressed. The mood has diluted a lot, and this is what I said. Otherwise, what would it be like to make myself look like a disgusting demon?
At this time, Dongzhang's orders were being served one after another. Dongzhang pulled the waiter who was about to turn around and walked down and asked, "Hey, brother, is there a forger in the city that is famous for making weapons?" Everyone?"
The young waiter frowned and thought for a while, then his eyes lit up, "Of course there is. There is a blacksmith shop in the west of the city. The old man Zhang inside is the leader in this blacksmith shop in Xiangyang City. Many Jianghu people like to go to his place to make weapons. , I heard that the weapons in his hands can cut iron as well as clay. It is absolutely worth the money, and you are right to look for him."
After the waiter said this, he gave a thumbs up. Dongzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he also became interested, "Oh~ is it so awesome?"
"That's natural. I don't dare to deceive the guest. He is definitely the leading blacksmith in Xiangyang City." But before the waiter could finish his words, he heard a dark-skinned man on the table next to him sneer.
"laugh"
Hearing this contemptuous laughter, the waiter felt that he was slapped in the face, so he looked at the dark man cryptically, but said nothing. Dongzhang naturally heard the man's disdainful attitude and waved his hand. He sent the waiter away who looked unhappy, "Okay, I understand, go ahead."
Glancing at the tall man sitting proudly on the table next to him, the waiter bowed and stepped back. "Please take it easy, sir. I'm going to do my little favor."
"Well, go ahead, go ahead."
After sending the waiter away, Dongzhang looked at the arrogant man on the table next to him with interest and said with a smile, "Brother, it seems that you don't acknowledge what the waiter just said?"
The big man glanced sideways at Dongzhang and snorted, "What? Can't you even tell the truth these days?"
"Hahaha, of course I didn't mean that. But, is that old man Zhang just a facade?" Dongzhang asked curiously.
"Who is Zhang Zhao, the leading blacksmith? He's just trying to trick you laymen." The black-faced man, who was about forty years old, said disdainfully.
"Oh~"
As soon as the big man spoke, Dongzhang became interested immediately and said enthusiastically to the empty table next to the big man, "Brother, if you don't mind, please come over and talk. I'll take care of the wine."
The big man crossed his arms and glanced at the wine on Dongzhang's table from the corner of his eyes. He found that what was on the table was actually the best quality bamboo leaf green in the store. The queen's eyes couldn't help but light up, but he still said hesitantly, " You and I have never met.”
"Oh, don't be so faceless. Come on, we'll get to know each other after just two drinks. Let's just treat him like a friend." Dongzhang said without any doubt.
The big man's eyelids twitched. Where did this kid come from? So arrogant?
The big man was unsure of Dongzhang's identity, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of the table of good wine and food. After hesitating for a moment, he came to Dongzhang's table with great hospitality and said, "That's it."
"You're welcome, come on, let's make a glass first." Dongzhang poured the wine for the big man himself. The two clinked their glasses and drank it down.
The big man closed his eyes and savored the long-lost wine, then heard Dongzhang say, "Just now I heard that my brother seems to be quite dissatisfied with what the waiter said. Is he also a good player in this way?"
Putting down his wine glass, the big man shook his head, "I don't know how to forge."
Dongzhang rolled his eyes and thought that you would be unhappy.
Looking at Dongzhang's expression, the big man knew that this young man was thinking something wrong. He explained, "Although I don't know how to forge, Qi has been traveling all over the country all year round and has seen many strange people and strange things. I just returned to Xiangyang City today. I wanted to come here." While we were having fun, who would have thought that when he heard that kid with a yellow mouth bragging to an unsuspecting person that Zhang Zhao in the city was a great craftsman, he felt quite unhappy and started to question it, but it was actually Qi Menglang."
Dongzhang, who had already lost interest, became interested again when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows, "Oh~"
"It sounds like I know a more powerful blacksmith?"
The big man raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "I'm lucky enough to meet this person."
Dongzhang refilled his empty glass with wine and said, "Tell me."
The big man pretended to think deeply for a moment before slowly speaking: "Qi passed by a small village in the north of the city two years ago. It was raining heavily at that time, so I ran to one of the farmers to seek shelter from the rain. I accidentally saw the farmer's house. A child was playing on the side with an iron catalpa in his hand. This was not a big deal, but because it was raining heavily, I watched the child playing curiously as I had nothing to do. But who would have thought that the more I looked, the more surprised I became. Using the iron catalpa in his hand as a sword, the wood and stones on the roadside were not able to block the blow of the iron catalpa, which was no less than that of the magic weapon."
"When I was shocked, I asked the children next to me if I could sell the iron catalpa to me, but the child couldn't put it down and refused to sell me the iron catalpa in his hand. I had to ask him where he made the iron catalpa. I also wanted to buy one, but the child said it was made at Uncle Gongsun’s place in the village, and I then asked for the address and went looking for it.”
The big man thought he was thirsty, so he took a sip of wine and then said slowly, "That's a weirdo. I wanted him to make me a weapon, but he saw that I wasn't from the village, let alone a weapon." , he didn’t even want to build farm tools for me, and he was unmoved no matter how much I added money or money, and even kicked me out. Depressed, I had to go back to that farmer’s house and spent much more than the market price. It was only with the money that I bought the iron catalpa from the child’s father.”
"When I returned to the city, I was naturally curious and tried it out. Ordinary swords became vulnerable under this iron catalpa. The two swords struck each other and soon there was a gap."
The big man raised his eyelids and looked at the interested Zhang Zhang and continued, "Including the 'sword' made by Zhang Zhao that the waiter mentioned just now, it is also vulnerable to this iron catalpa. You said, that Zhang Zhao can still be regarded as Xiangyang The leading blacksmith in the city?"
"Hahahaha, there is such a strange person. Brother Qi, is it inconvenient for me to tell you the address of that strange person?" Dongzhang laughed and clinked glasses with him, not wanting to argue about who was the best blacksmith. .
But who would have thought that as soon as Dongzhang spoke, the big man showed a confused look on his face and said hesitantly, "I don't want to offend such a strange man for no reason. Since he seeks purity, wouldn't I become an unjust person if he leaked it?"
Dongzhang's heart moved, and he quietly handed a money bag to the big man, and said with a smile, "I am a good citizen, how could I do anything to force others? If he doesn't agree, I will turn around and leave without any embarrassment. You Do you think so?"
Keeping his money bag calmly, the big man smiled flatteringly, "You're right, my little brother's appearance is that he's a very good person. There's no way he would do anything against other people's wishes. His address is here."
After getting the address of the divine craftsman, Zhang Dong couldn't help but laugh secretly. After receiving the money, he didn't even bother to pretend. Such money can really make a fool of himself.
After the big man got the benefit, he hastily said goodbye to Dong Zhang and left. As soon as the big man left, the waiter who was guarding the stairs quickly rushed up, walked to Dong Zhang's side and said anxiously, "Sir, how can you give him money?" Ah! The Marquis of Qi is a well-known second-rate man in the city. He specializes in cheating and kidnapping. There are many people who have been deceived by him. He just does this all day long. "
Dongzhang stretched out his hand to suppress the excited waiter and poured him a cup of tea. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Drink the tea first. Why are you panicking?"
Dongzhang picked up the long strip of cloth on the table and stood up, threw a few coins to the waiter, patted his shoulder and said with a proud smile, "Thank you in advance, don't worry, he paid the price for cheating me." I couldn’t bear it anymore and left.”
After saying that, he picked up the long cloth and walked downstairs.
Yes, anyone in this world who dares to deceive Dongzhang
How many lives do you have?
