Yuelai Inn.
Dongzhang sat down across from Gongsun Shi and A Gang, and turned to the waiter in the store and shouted, "Waiter, serve!"
"Okay!" The waiter and the shopkeeper burst out with enthusiasm when they saw Dongzhang, a regular customer of the store, come in. After all, who doesn't like customers who spend money lavishly, and they never bargain.
"This, this, this, they're all served to me. I'm so hungry after running all day. Don't cut corners for me. The portions are not enough and I won't come next time." Dongzhang ordered several of the store's best-selling signature dishes. And said to the waiter.
"Don't worry, Master, no one can be short of you. Make sure every dish is full. I'm busy right now."
Dongzhang smiled and patted the waiter on the shoulder, "Go, go, give me two jars of good wine first."
"Okay, little one, let's go and get it." The waiter was so happy that he left.
Gongsun Shi's master and servant looked at Dongzhang in front of them in surprise and said nothing.
Dongzhang threw a bottle of elixir to A Gang and turned to Gongsun Shi with a smile and said, "What? In your impression, I should be someone who bullies men and dominates women with bad words, right?"
Gongsun Shi neither nodded nor shook his head.
"Hahaha, I'm too lazy to explain. It doesn't matter much to you what kind of person I am. Let's eat first, and then I will take you to the place where you will work next." Dongzhang said nonchalantly.
Looking at the free and easy young man in front of him, Gongsun Shi pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed a little different from what I thought."
"Haha, no matter how you live, there will always be people who make irresponsible remarks. We only come to this world once. Eat the food you want to eat, meet the people you want to see, see the scenery you like, and do the things you like. That's enough. .”
Dongzhang, who was playing with the teacup on the table, glanced at Gongsun Shi, who was deep in thought, and continued, "I just used the simplest and most direct way to ask you to do things for me. What you think is not important to me at all." , Evil person or good person, I will not live one more day or one day less because of your praise or your curse. That’s it. Let’s all cooperate well. When things are done, each of us will find his own mother.”
As soon as Dongzhang finished speaking, Gongsun Shi clinked his glass with Dongzhang sincerely, "I don't know whether the master's words are rough or not. That's the truth."
Dongzhang clinked the cup with him and took a half-sip. Knowing what he was worried about, he raised the cup and said, "The man is already dead."
After saying that, he drank another gulp. After hearing this, the master and servant Gongsun Shi breathed a sigh of relief. They could see their expressions in a funny way. Dongzhang thought to himself that if you were so worried about the suffering of the villagers, why did you do it in the first place? Don't stop? Are you feeling scared now?
This is indeed not alarmist. If Zou Xian is let go, the village will end badly. In the days to come, the village will welcome batches of people from the world to inquire about the whereabouts of Gongsun Shi, even if his residence has been occupied. The desperadoes, blinded by greed, would go to each house and ask questions. Some crazy people would even slash at innocent villagers with knives when they couldn't find answers. This was something no one wanted to see. Arrived.
Therefore, Zou Xian must die, and Dong Zhang will be the executioner.
After the three of them chatted for a while, Gongsun Shi and his servant were no longer as afraid of Dongzhang as they were at first. Even A Gang, who rarely talked, would add a few words from time to time. The atmosphere was relatively familiar, maybe Dongzhang The medicine given to him must also have some weight.
After a while, the dishes were served one after another. Dongzhang buried his head and huffed and ate. Gongsun Shi stopped after a brief taste, raised his head and asked Dongzhang, "Sir, I don't know if we are going to go later."
Dongzhang, whose mouth was still full of dishes, smiled slyly, "You'll know after you finish eating."
After three rounds of drinking, Dong Zhang paid and left, taking Gong and Sun Shi all the way out of the city. The destination of this trip was the valley near Snake Valley. He brought them there because Dong Zhang could Supervise them while practicing, and secondly, stay away from the noise and crowds. On the day the sword is born, not many people will know about it, so as not to cause trouble to others.
Dongzhang led the people all the way to the deep mountains near Snake Valley, and turned to A Gang and said, "You can build a simple shack for sir first. You still have the strength, right?"
A Gang nodded, and Dongzhang turned to Gongsun Shi and said, "I'll let you live here during this period. Once you're done, just tell me and I'll make arrangements for you if you need anything."
Looking at the pleasant scenery with birds singing and flowers fragrant all around, Gongsun Shi said with satisfaction, "This place suits my liking. There is a snake valley in front that blocks most of the pedestrians, and there is a deserted valley behind, which allows me to forge and smelt this black iron without any distractions." sword."
Since everyone's ideas hit it off, Dongzhang hurriedly finalized the various materials needed to recast the black iron sword with Gongsun Shi, because Dongzhang said that if you want to use it, use the best. This sword must be made as soon as it is born. The most powerful sword in the world, Gongsun Shi himself also rekindled his passion and wanted to see if he could forge a peerless sword comparable to that of his ancestors.
He eloquently gave Dongzhang a list of materials filled with several sheets of paper. Dongzhang turned around and walked towards the city without saying anything, "I'll find it for you in seven days."
In fact, it didn't take seven days. The next day, people arrived one after another with loads of forging materials in front of Snake Valley. Dongzhang notified A Gang to come out and move the materials in, but he disappeared again.
Because many of the materials listed by Gongsun Shi are really difficult to find in the world, but as the saying goes, snakes have their own way, rats have their own way, whether they are underworld or white, Dongzhang has already come to visit him one after another. , under the threat of death, many precious materials can be 'found' in the homes of rich and noble people, but there are two very rare stones that are only collected by the royal family today.
It's just that these two materials can't be used for this black iron sword until the final process. Therefore, it can free up a lot of time for Dongzhang to return to the imperial city. It seems that he has to make a trip. Lin'an Mansion is in trouble.
One afternoon, Dongzhang came to the mountain deep in the Snake Valley. In front of a simple shed, a simple rainproof shed was built outside. In the shed, a bare-chested Gongsun Shi with a muscular body exposed was breathing. Pulling the bellows in a huff, while A Gang helped add firewood and charcoal, Dongzhang walked all the way to Gongsun Shi and handed him a pot of tea and said with a smile, "Mr. Gongsun, please rest first."
Gongsun Shi, who was a big man, took the kettle and stood up. He raised his head and drank the tea in his hand. He threw the kettle to A Gang next to him with a bold stroke of his mouth. Zhu turned to Dongzhang and said with a smile, "Young Master Why do you have so much time to run here today?"
Sitting down on a wooden table, Dongzhang said boredly, "Come here to see your progress and say goodbye."
Gongsun Shi couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this. Even A Gang, who was drinking water, stopped and looked at Dong Zhang sitting on the table.
"Oh~ where are you going, young master?" Gongsun Shi asked with some speculation in his heart.
With a smile on his lips, Dongzhang calmly said "Imperial City"
