Clash Of The Sword Titans

Chapter 22: Tavern, Wanshitang

Views:

The so-called skillful craftsmen are actually weapon refiners who do not have the inheritance of exquisite forging techniques. Most of this group of people came from the market and could not learn exquisite forging techniques. Naturally, they could not use those treasures to forge magic weapons. At most, they could only create some weapons for ordinary cultivators, or some gadgets full of whimsical ideas.

But to say that their abilities are lower than those of the weapon refiners is not necessarily true.

You must know that the reason why a magic weapon is a magic weapon is that the materials it uses must be rare treasures of heaven and earth. For example, dragon crystal and black iron are made of special materials. Without the assistance of exquisite forging techniques, they cannot be processed at all, so there is no need to mention forging. What Lu Li wanted was a kind of jade slip that could be sold in large quantities, with the "Zhenguojin" redemption pattern imprinted on it. Although it was not a very difficult thing to do, it still required some skilled craftsmen. Capable.

After learning some of Lu Li's requests, Tan Long's heart dropped from his throat, and he vowed: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, if you want me to find those great weapon refiners in the Imperial Capital, I'm afraid I don't have the ability. , but you need to find a few skilled craftsmen, it only takes an hour, and I will definitely bring them to you."

"No need to be in such a hurry."

Seeing his high interest, Lu Li raised his hand: "Besides these craftsmen, there are other things that you need to do."

"Master Lu, please give me your instructions." Tan Long and Shi Yan no longer doubted this errand. Anyway, with Lu Li in front, it didn't seem to be a difficult task. Maybe it was really a beautiful thing. Difference.

"Contact the shops under the prince's name, especially the weapon shop, elixir shop, and restaurant, and ask their stewards to make preparations. When we find the skilled craftsmen, we will meet with them first."

After hearing Lu Li's words, the excitement on Tan Long's face immediately dissipated.

Lu Li smiled and said, "What, are you having trouble?"

Before Tan Long could speak, Shi Yan on the side had already said helplessly: "Master Lu, you don't know. Your Highness, King Yan, never takes care of these businesses. Manager Ge is only responsible for the accounts and the internal affairs of the palace. We...we actually have no control over those businesses." Not strong."

"You mean, these people might not cooperate?" Lu Li frowned slightly.

This was beyond his expectation.

At the same time, it also gave him a sense of helplessness.

It’s no wonder that King Yan was struggling in the Nine Palaces. The matter of raising disaster relief funds was repeatedly blocked, and even those wealthy families were unwilling to pay attention to her.

Just looking at the current state of Prince Yan's Mansion, it's probably clear that Prince Yan doesn't know how to control a force at all. No matter how difficult it is, at least these businesses belonging to the palace should be firmly grasped. Otherwise, if there is turmoil, the group of businessmen who only follow the wind may cause some trouble.

Thinking of this, Lu Li felt fierce in his heart. He took off the belt that belonged to Yuan Jingtao from his waist and threw it to Tan Long. "I don't care what method you use, even if you break their legs and tie them to me, I must see them anyway." The people who manage these businesses!”

"Yes, Master Lu!"

Hearing the coldness in Lu Li's words, Tan Long held his belt and responded in a deep voice, feeling somewhat confident at the same time.

Not only was this a piece of money that belonged to Yuan Jingtao, but it was also because of Lu Li's attitude.

Everyone in the palace knows that Yuan Jingtao's character is not easy to get along with, but he is just cruel and does not help the palace. Except for those losers who are waiting to die, the people who really care about the palace are afraid of him, but they may not be convinced. he.

Tan Long happens to be one of An Anfenfen's returnees. No matter what the reason is, he doesn't want the Yan Palace to collapse, so he will naturally think more about it than others. Lu Li's method of forcibly summoning the group of stewards made Tan Long smell something different.

"It seems that Mr. Lu wants to establish his authority..."

After gathering himself, Tan Long didn't waste any time and immediately followed Lu Li's instructions.

As for Shi Yan, Lu Li led him to do another important task.

The South Street of the Imperial Capital is bustling with people. Although it is not as prosperous and wealthy as other places, it is orderly in chaos and has a strong market atmosphere.

Outside the crowd, Lu Li and Shi Yan's bodyguard uniforms belonging to Prince Yan's Mansion were extremely conspicuous, which intimidated many scoundrels from getting close.

"Master Lu, what are we doing in South Street? There is a lot of chaos here. If something happens, we may not be able to escape." Although Shi Yan was full of doubts, he did his best to protect Lu Li.

Lu Li smiled and said nothing. He chatted with people along the way, mostly talking about what he had seen in the market. Others saw that he was wearing the black attire of Prince Yan's palace, so he did not hide anything. After asking around, Lu Li said: We already have a rough idea of the situation on South Street.

Immediately, he patted Shi Yan on the shoulder and said: "Although this is the most chaotic place in the imperial capital, there are some things that can only be handled easily by people like these who are hanging around here."

"These are just gangsters here, what big things can they accomplish?"

Although Shi Yan was dull, he had the pride of a Wuzong student in his heart, so he naturally looked down on these casual cultivators who were hanging out in the market.

Although the Holy Kingdom of Tiantian claims that everyone is like a dragon and there are hundreds of millions of cultivators, there are also classes among cultivators.

Practitioners like Shi Yan and Tan Long who were born in the Wuzong of the Holy Kingdom or other schools are actually geniuses from the sect. They often enter the court, or the royal family, or the aristocratic family, and find a good job. Errands.

And those casual cultivators who practice according to the exercises handed down by the Holy Kingdom's court and form cliques are unruly cultivators. Even though there are some strong ones among them, they are born a head short and are not looked down upon by cultivators who came from academies. .

No matter how unsatisfied Shi Yan is, he is still a student of Wuzong Academy, and it is normal to be a little arrogant.

"Okay, I will teach you today. Some big things are really not something that people like you can handle." Lu Li did not resent his objection and led him through the streets and alleys to the door of a tavern.

Next to the broken wooden threshold that had been stepped on several inches, a young man in ragged clothes was leaning against him. He squinted at the passers-by until Lu Li and Shi Yan appeared. His shoulders shook slightly and his muscles and bones screamed.

"Thunder of muscles and bones!"

Shi Yan stopped and looked at the young man warily, while protecting Lu Li behind him.

"Don't be nervous." Lu Li held his shoulders, walked past him towards the young man, and said with a smile, "Is this the Wanshitang Hall?"

"We can't handle even the third-grade guards in Prince Yan's palace. We can't afford this job." The young man grinned.

Lu Li raised his hand and threw a Holy Kingdom coin to the other party, "Whether it can be done or not is your Wanshitang's problem. What should be done is my problem."

The young man held the coin and looked Lu Li up and down for a few times before nodding and saying, "Everyone who comes is a guest. Our Wanshitang never refuses business that comes to your door. Come with me."

After that, he stood up, patted the soil, and led Lu Li and Shi Yan toward the tavern.
