Bishop's Retirement

Chapter 24 Tempering Workshop

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Ye wrapped the swords of Zhang Su and Ye Changqing in sackcloth, and went straight to the tempering workshop in the market.

Yesterday, he sent Lin Lanzhi away with fifty taels of silver.

This time, no matter what, I will sell these two long swords to make up for the money lost yesterday.

Quenlianfang is a famous weapon shop in Jinling City. The word "Qianlian" means that the sword is sharpened and tough after being tempered.

The swords cast by them are not only sharp and compelling, but also cut iron like mud.

Whether it is a knight in the rivers and lakes or a business traveler who goes out, they all like to come here to buy a pair for self-defense.

As soon as he stepped into the tempering workshop, Wang Ye saw a crowd of people standing in it.

These people are all in good shape and well-dressed.

He still carried a sword and weapon in his hand, and there was even a faint smell of blood in the air.

Obviously, these people are all people in the arena who are licking blood with knives.

“It's so weird”

Looking at the people in the rivers and lakes in front of him, Wang Ye's heart moved: "The business of this tempering workshop is usually mediocre, that is, those tourists come to buy swords and swords for self-defense. Why are there so many rivers and lakes here today?"

Regarding the scene in front of him, Wang Ye couldn't help feeling puzzled.

"Yo, shopkeeper Wang!"

Just when Wang Ye was puzzled, a deep voice came: "You are a rare guest!"

Hearing this voice, Wang Ye turned his head to look, but saw a tall man in gray clothes coming to his side, and slapped Wang Ye on the shoulder.

Snapped!
This slap hit Wang Ye's shoulder, and there was a crisp sound.

"Hey Yo Yo!"

After receiving this slap, Wang Ye turned his body sideways, and said to the gray-clothed man, "You reckless man, it's okay to forge iron and swords on weekdays, but you still use such a heavy hand to greet people, what do you think?" Shoot me to death?"

Between the words, Wang Ye bared his teeth and grinned with displeasure.

This gray-clothed man is none other than the owner of Quenlifang, Qian Cheng, Qian Treasurer.

"Wang Caifan, are you still talking about me?"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Shopkeeper Qian said, "I told you to run to Yihong Courtyard if you have nothing to do. This tall body makes you look weak and weak. Who can you blame?"

"Why don't you also have a pot of tiger penis wine from Huichuntang? That stuff is just for your weak body."

Looking at Wang Ye in front of him, Shopkeeper Qian had a smirk on his face.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Hearing Shopkeeper Qian's words, Wang Ye looked impatient: "Then Mrs. Zhu himself eats a lot and touches a lot in Yihong Courtyard and doesn't shoot fire. If this tiger whip wine is really useful, why doesn't he drink it himself? "

"I think you, a reckless man, are just like Aji, you know you are being cheated in a daze!"

"Tiger whip wine doesn't work? Can't it?"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Shopkeeper Qian said thoughtfully: "I bought a pot yesterday and drank it, and my wife was full of praise that night..."

"cough!"

Hearing Shopkeeper Qian's words, Wang Ye coughed heavily.

This money shopkeeper really doesn't treat himself as an outsider.

Even the little thing about closing the door at home has to be shared with myself.

Hearing Wang Ye's cough, Shopkeeper Qian also reacted. He looked at Wang Ye in front of him, and his face turned red: "That...you just need to understand what I mean."

"Master Qian..."

Seeing the appearance of shopkeeper Qian, Wang Ye raised his brows with a hint of playfulness: "I can't see it, but you need tiger penis wine to cheer you up, you are a big, thick, sinewy man?"

"Hey, there are only exhausted cows without plowed fields. No matter how fierce I am, I can't stand your sister-in-law..."

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Qian suddenly reacted: "Well, what is Wang Caimini doing here today?"

Seeing the appearance of shopkeeper Qian, Wang Ye nodded with a clear look on his face.

At the same time, he sent forward the long sword wrapped in linen in his hand, and said, "Sell you something!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Shopkeeper Qian's eyes lit up: "Let's go, let's talk in detail in the living room next door!"

Hearing this, Wang Ye grinned.

Although Shopkeeper Qian is as dumb as Aji on weekdays, he is unambiguous in casting and trading.

Especially when it comes to collecting swords, Shopkeeper Qian is extremely cautious.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he always went to the drawing room to discuss in detail the sale of swords.

When he came to the living room, Shopkeeper Qian smiled at Wang Ye, and said, "Wang Cai fans, please show your things?"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ye was unambiguous, and directly removed the linen cloth, revealing the true face of the long sword.

"Ok?"

The moment he saw the two long swords, Shopkeeper Qian's eyes lit up.

He first picked up Zhang Su's long sword, and said: "This long sword looks thin, but it is made of iron mixed with black gold. It is extremely hard and is most suitable for fighting!"

Hearing this, Wang Ye nodded.

Shopkeeper Qian has been in the business of forging swords for generations, and he is especially good at weapons. This single sentence shows the way of this sword.

"And this sword, the whole body is light and thin, the blade is sharp but soft"

As he said that, Shopkeeper Qian flicked the blade of the sword with his fingers, and there was a light sound like a water drop: "Plus, this sword is integrated into one body, and the sound is like a water drop. It must be the rumored water dripping sword that kills without blood!"

"Okay, Qian Mangfu"

Hearing this, Wang Ye said, "You can recognize these two swords at a glance!"

"Look at a thousand swords and then know the weapon, let alone forge swords!"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Treasurer Qian smiled slightly and said, "Tell me, Wang Caifan, how did these two swords come from?"

"I picked it up"

Regarding the words of shopkeeper Qian, Wang Ye told about Aji killing the gangster in the ruined temple and saving himself.

However, the details of Tianxiahui and Juntianling were hidden.

"Hahaha, two days ago I heard people say that Aji was extremely brave and repelled the villains, and this time he saved your life again."

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Shopkeeper Qian said with a smile: "With such a fellow with martial arts skills, you must be having fun!"

"Pull it down quickly, Aji is so stupid that he is causing trouble. When he gets into trouble, don't take it with me, and I will burn the incense!"

Wang Ye waved his hand helplessly, and then tapped on the table: "How much do you plan to give these two swords?"

"The quality of these two long swords is very sharp and compelling. If they are sold, they will be worth at least two hundred taels..."

Looking at Wang Ye, Shopkeeper Qian smiled slightly: "But these two long swords are owned by thieves, and if they are used in a grand manner, they will only cause trouble. I have to turn them into molten iron and cast them separately, so that I can get rid of trouble..."

"This series of smelting and casting processes is tedious and laborious, and this is the only number in this conversion!"

As he said that, Shopkeeper Qian was slapped in the face: "Fifty taels, no more!"

"Well, you money reckless!"

Hearing Shopkeeper Qian's words, Wang Ye was immediately unhappy: "I'm the one who slaughtered the guest!"
