[Seventh update, for this chapter, everyone still has to thank the God of Smoke and book friend Sha Huaichu].
Lin Tuo finally figured out the method the old man used.
It's unreasonable, but it's exactly what the old man has always reacted to. The most important thing is that it doesn't violate the principle of fair competition.
But to that extent, is that enough? does it worth? Lin Tuo sighed leisurely, abandoned the sword blank in the oil pan, and walked towards the old man: "Old man, how about we talk in private?"
"Talk about it? What's the point..." The old man frowned and shook his head. When he saw Lin Tuo's meaningful eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Did he understand? Did he think of it? He tried his best to smile, "What? You want to admit defeat? Okay, let's talk about it!"
Everyone is inevitably confused, surprised, surprised, and confused...
But with his status, how could the old man be influenced by them? He immediately led Lin Tuo to a secret room.
Although it is a secret room, it is just like the outside, rough and atmospheric, with swords, guns, swords and halberds scattered around, tanned leather hanging all over the walls, as well as sharpening stones, sword-protecting oil, half-finished swallows, and completed scabbards... … Wherever there is a secret room, it is clearly a miscellaneous room arranged randomly.
He helped the old man into the room, finally found a place to stand, closed the door, and turned around with a smile: "Old man, how about a draw?"
The old man frowned: "A tie? Then I have an old face..."
Lin Tuo laughed: "Old man, you are already in this situation and you still want to bargain? This trick... really doesn't work for me!"
"Even if you win, I have to climb around the mine three times and call you grandpa thousands of times. You are already senior and many people call you grand master. I will not suffer at all! But what about you? You Although the method you used to win me is fair and square, and you won’t be afraid of being accused of violating the rules if you tell me about it, do you really care about your dignity?"
"Use this method to win against me, a nobody. In everyone's mind, will you think you have won? Or am I the winner?" The old guy has become an old man; you have become you.
After knowing the truth, the anger in his heart dissipated, the fire dissipated, and he no longer cared about the good and bad in his words.
"Are you threatening me?" Lu Zhenyuan's expression changed.
"No, I sincerely admire you!" Lin Tuo shook his head, "If you win, you win with fairness. Even if it is... like that, just think of it as the filial piety of a junior."
Lu Zhenyuan's expression suddenly softened a lot. In fact, the meaning was basically the same, which was a threat, but when he said different words, the effect was completely different.
This old guy is a docile donkey and will never take harsh words, so Lin Tuo cooperates with him and smooths his hair.
"Actually, the outcome is not certain yet?" After getting an advantage, the old man still insisted.
Lin Tuo nodded solemnly: "Yes, if the outcome is really determined, this junior will not need to make such a presumptuous request."
The old man relaxed. It seemed that the hair was smooth. Lin Tuo lost no time in saying: "Actually, the junior is not wrong about the whole thing, and the senior is not wrong either. It was all in a hurry, so we got together... The senior's appearance that day was actually a chance. Coincidence, right? I can see that the six people surrounding and beating Gu Xiaoyi were not ordered by you at all."
What a fine young man! Lu Zhenyuan burst into tears. He had finally found a soulmate: "Isn't that right? Why don't those few of my disciples talk nonsense about you in front of me..."
"Hmph, those bastards think that the old man is careless and can't see their dirty tricks? The old man has eaten more salt than they have walked!" Lu Zhenyuan frowned and glared, "After a while, we have to take a good turn. Take care of them. If you don't fight them for a few days, go to the house and uncover the tiles!"
Making the guy in the middle unhappy is one of the goals, and it's easy to achieve!
But that's not all. Lin Tuo frowned in confusion and pretended to be innocent: "There seems to be no conflict between your apprentices and me? Is a small craftsman quota worth them moving you out? Don't you use a dragon-slaying knife to kill a chicken..."
The silent flattery was very helpful to the old man: "Isn't that true! I asked the same question and found out that it was Ji Hai who didn't like you for some reason, so those unqualified guys After all this, let’s lick his ass!”
Lu Zhenyuan snorted angrily. When his disciples and disciples flatter others, they are still flattering people who are not as good as him. Even honest people have to get angry.
But he didn't care. Originally, even if these things happened, he, the most reasonable and honest person, would never let it out easily. He couldn't afford to embarrass that person.
But with the combination of Lin Tuo's words and expressions, unknowingly... everything was said as if the bamboo tube was pouring beans.
Ji Hai, deputy commander of the Qianshan Iron Mine, was one of the cavalrymen who broke into the ancient temple that day.
He knew Lin Tuo's true identity. It was entirely possible to use this method to suppress Lin Tuo. Lin Tuo could guess the reason.
Ji Hai is Lianshan Yun's right-hand man at the mine, and Liu Hong is the master of Lianshan Yun's family... Although these two positions are unrelated, they are naturally in opposition.
Ji Hai arranged for Lian Shanyun to enjoy a young and beautiful woman at Qihong Mansion. How could Liu Hong feel comfortable? Liu Hong summoned him and wanted to interfere in the mining affairs. How could Ji Hai tolerate it?
It's reasonable, reasonable, and there's no need for Lu Zhenyuan to lie...
Lin Tuo decided in his heart that what he feared most was the enemy hiding in the dark. Now that he knew who the opponent was, it would be easy to deal with it. The second goal could be achieved easily.
At that moment, they chatted with the old man for a few more words, nothing more than complimenting each other's superb forging skills. They were carried in a sedan chair, and they quickly agreed to accept peace and stop fighting, and helped the old man out of the secret room.
The old man was in a good mood after having solved the big crisis, and his strength seemed to have recovered a bit. He immediately gathered everyone together, announced a strike, and shook hands to make peace.
Everyone was naturally surprised and had various discussions. However, the old man had a high seniority and a high status. He didn't care about those people. He waved his hand and the matter was settled.
Lin Tuo hid behind him in a low-key manner, feeling as happy as the old man.
So what if we win? Wouldn't it be nice to let the old man crawl around and call him grandpa? not at all.
And if that happens, the smelting field system will be offended to death. How can we still mess around in the future? Not only that, but he will never know the man behind the dispute.
How good is it now? The matter was settled clearly, and the relationship with Old Man Lu was settled. Once the old man was settled, the entire smelting field was settled!
No, he listened happily to the old man's announcement, announcing that he would be a guest at the smelting site from now on. He could use the high-rise smelting room for free, forge equipment with various attributes for free, and buy ore at the highest discount. All treatments were the same as those of a master master. .
At the same time, Gu Xiaoyi was directly promoted to a craftsman.
However, he and Tong Xi still had to continue to build the two half-finished weapons.
The old man drove all the idlers out of the house and gave Tong Xi some interesting instructions.
Although they have made peace with each other, the properties of the weapons after they are released are worth looking forward to.
Lin Tuo is looking forward to seeing how far he can achieve; the old man is looking forward to the final attribute comparison, who will lose and who will win?
