King's Landing

Chapter 51 Preparations
Ran Li was in a daze until he returned to the city, unable to figure out why Yue Yu said that to Lin Zhuo.As for Huang Fan, he was even more clueless.

Yue Yu didn't want to explain anything at this time, after he entered the city gate, he went straight to the south city.And when the three of them arrived at the most prosperous area of ​​Yuejia City, they found that the door of their pharmacy was still open unexpectedly.

But Yue Yu just took a look, then turned and walked towards the alley where Yue Youning's blacksmith shop was located.This is not the time to go back, it would be fine if Mrs. Yue and Zhang were not around.But once they really sit in the store, they may not be able to get out for the whole night.

The dilapidated blacksmith shop was still as deserted as ever.However, the three of them were far away, but they heard the sound of tinkling and knocking from behind, which seemed quite lively.

Yue Yu waited outside impatiently, said hello, and went directly into the backyard with ease.Then I saw Yue Youning commanding a few apprentices to quench a few pieces of metal armor, and on the weapon rack next to him was a row of swords that he ordered this morning.

Yue Yu picked up one of the swords and looked at it, then a smile appeared on his face.This old blacksmith is quite honest, even at such a fast speed, the quality of this sword is still a bit higher than that of ordinary fourth-grade steel swords.

"Hey! How do you feel, Xiaoyu? This time you have Uncle Ning, but you have used all the effort to press the bottom of the box. If you are not satisfied, then I have nothing to do—"

After finishing the matter at hand, Yue Youning walked over with a smile. "Since we are in a hurry, we don't care so much about the quality. The current level has already used a lot of my know-how. This time it is cheaper, and those bastards have a good eye!"

"The quality is not bad! Uncle Ning's craftsmanship is really amazing!"

Yue Yu put down the sword indifferently, and then looked towards the inner room of the backyard with somewhat expectant eyes.Yue Youning understood, led a few people in, and then with an extremely solemn expression, took out a long sword wrapped in a thick cloth from the secret cabinet in this room.

"This is a Golden Crow Sword that I worked hard to forge two years ago. No one else has seen it since it was made. You can see if you are satisfied!"

Unfolding the wrappings layer by layer, Yue Youning pulled the sword out of the sheath with excitement and reverence in his eyes.Then the shining brilliance caused everyone in the room to close their eyes.

Yue Yu snatched it with a bit of surprise, and when his true energy penetrated into the sword.Yue Yu felt a burst of surprise at first, the Golden Crow Sword that Yue Youning took out was actually as high as level ten, which really surprised him.However, immediately afterwards, Yue Yu felt regretful again.

"This sword, what a pity—"

Yue Youning smiled wryly, but did not refute.This Golden Crow Sword can be said to have exhausted the precious minerals he collected all his life, but the final quality is only between the tenth and eleventh ranks.

——And it was such a small gap that greatly reduced its status and value.

In this North Mayuan, any precious soldier is hard to find.And under this, the market price of even the most elite foreign soldier is only 500 taels of silver.

"Uncle Ning intends to sell this sword, and then find another ore to refine the sword?"

Yue Yu put the sword back into the sheath, and then pondered for a while. "I can give you 200 taels of silver, this is the highest price I can offer!"

Yue Youning stared at Yue Yu with both eyes, and did not let out a sigh of relief until after a long time.If it is the normal way, this amount of money is naturally far from enough.But the business he is doing right now, whether it is the collection of ores or the sale of finished products, is all hidden from the clan, and it is a private job that cannot be seen.It is actually quite kind of Yue Yu to be able to give this price.

However, immediately after, Yue Youning's expression froze again.

"I'll give you 30 taels of money first, and the rest will be paid in installments over the next two years!"

Yue Yu put the sword behind him as a matter of course, and then pointed to Huang Fan behind him as if he was afraid that Yue Youning would not believe it. "From now on, you will come to my shopkeeper every month to get money, and if you are not at ease, you can also make a written receipt!"

Huang Fan looked extremely ugly, and smiled at Yue Youning.In fact, he just wanted to go to the pharmacy and inform his wife.It's a pity that from the beginning to the end, Ran Li firmly watched over him.

At this time, Yue Yu smiled sincerely again, "You should know that there is Uncle Ning, right? The young city lord of Danyun City has already proposed marriage to our family!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yue Youning, who had originally planned to throw Yue Yu and the others out, suddenly became suspicious.He is naturally very clear about what kind of existence Light Cloud City is.In this way, the kid in front of him is probably about to become famous?

But opposite him, Yue Yu breathed a sigh of relief.He knew that the clan uncle in front of him relied on his outstanding blacksmith skills to finally become a member of the clan.All these years of concentrating on forging skills, the news is a little unclear.But whether he can deceive the other party, he himself is not sure.

This is the best situation now, to avoid an embarrassment.In fact, ever since he saw the Golden Crow Sword, he had already made up his mind, even if it was a violent snatch, he must get it——

※※※※

After the weapons, there are three sets of black tights and some scent potions.In addition, Yue Yu deliberately raised his shoes by about two centimeters - this is already the limit, if it is any higher, it will affect the battle.Then the shoulders, arms, legs and chest were padded with some cotton padding to make his figure look more like an adult.

When everything was prepared one by one, the three of them went to the front of the city lord's mansion.Huang Fan's face was already pale, if he still couldn't guess what Yue Yu was going to do by this time, he would be an idiot.

And here, Lin Zhuo was like a javelin, standing upright on the street in front of the mansion with a cold expression.Yue Yu nodded at him, led a few people into a nearby alley, and then sketched out a structural diagram of the City Lord's Mansion in the mud.

As the most magnificent building in the Yue Family City, the City Lord's Mansion seems to occupy a large area, but its structure is actually very simple.But it's just a backyard, plus the front hall and more than [-] wing rooms on both sides.Among them, the backyard is uninhabited. As the suzerain, Yue Yunjie usually lives in the mansion near the clan's ancestral hall, to show that he values ​​the clan more.

"The most important thing is the bow! It is impossible to carry bows and arrows in the banquet except for those martial artists who patrol the palace. So your task, Ali, is to find a place to store bows and arrows! The most likely place is the four wing rooms on the west side, and The apse of the lobby—”

Ran Li frowned and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.But in the end, with an unhappy face, he stuffed the dozen or so swords on his back into Lin Zhuo's hands.At this moment, his heart was mixed with panic and excitement. From his heart, he wanted to fight side by side with Yue Yu.But Ran Li knew better, in a sense, whether or not those bows and arrows could be destroyed would directly determine Yue Yu's success or failure.It is absolutely impossible for him, the young master, to trust this matter to others.And his exaggerated figure is also a problem, it is too easy to be exposed.

A hint of surprise and bewilderment also flashed across Lin Zhuo's expressionless face.After a short while, he lowered his eyelids again. "The bow and arrow should be stored in the third wing on the west side. But the bows of the patriarch and those adults are separate!"

Yue Yu nodded slightly, Yue Yunjie's Eighteen Stone Bow naturally couldn't be kept in the same place as ordinary bows and arrows.This is also similar to what he expected.

"Secondly, the patrolling warriors outside the mansion, and retreat!"

After a pause, Yue Yu's gaze shifted to Huang Fan, and then he took out a few more porcelain bottles from his bosom. "Please, old shopkeeper, after you go back, sprinkle the potion in the bottle everywhere, remember to stay away from our house—"

With a bitter face, Huang Fan took the bottle in his hand.He was extremely depressed, but he dared not respond to this matter.The reason was that after Yue Yu finished explaining, he smiled innocently. "Old shopkeeper, you are a smart person, so if you think about it, you must be able to imagine the consequences of being caught if we retreated because you forgot something, old shopkeeper? I assure you, in the end we may not If something happens, you will definitely have bad luck—"

Huang Fan was about to cry now, thinking how could he be such a master?On the contrary, Yue Yu's last sentence, which was similar to a threat, reassured him a little.
