Chapter 197 Wubao ([-])

Due to rushing all night, Gengjiabao, which was supposed to arrive in the evening of the next day, appeared in front of Jiang Yuan and the others in the early morning.

Gengjiabao is obviously richer than Pangjiabao. Wubao was built extraordinarily tall, and a deep ditch was even dug to draw water from nearby rivers around Wubao, which can not only irrigate the farmland on weekdays, but also form a simple moat.

This dock occupies a vast area, like a ferocious giant lying on the riverside drinking water.

The lower edge of the tall fortress is full of fences that are difficult to erect ladders. There are many small holes on the fence, which can be used for observation and defense.Banners were planted on the wall, and many warriors were on guard with weapons.

As the three of them approached, someone blew a short horn on the watchtower and arrow tower standing high in the Wubao, reminding them of the arrival of guests in the fort.

When the three of them came under the high wall of Wubao, the suspension bridge had already been lowered and lay across the ditch.

I saw a man with a slightly bowed back trotted out from the suspension bridge, came to the three of them and grabbed the reins for the three of them:

"The villain's surname is Zhao, and he works as a housekeeper in the Gengjiabao. The three distinguished guests have very friendly faces. I don't know if they are here to stay or buy?"

Jiang Yuan got off his horse, cupped his fists at Steward Zhao casually and said:
"It turned out to be Steward Zhao. We came here to stay overnight and to buy weapons. It's just that we only picked good ones, and only bought one or two. I wonder if your castle is willing to do this kind of small business?"

Steward Zhao led the horses and led the way for the three of them, and walked towards Wubao while laughing:
"Our Gengjiabao doesn't pay attention to the size of the business, but only pays attention to getting to know more heroes! So whenever we need weapons, we will always come. If you don't have enough money, you can also pay on credit. Just leave a note Name, if you have the opportunity to come to visit again in the future, you can settle the settlement."

Jiang Yuan smiled, it's no wonder that Gengjiabao can become the most powerful outside of Dancheng, it turned out to be so bold.

When three strangers came, they put down the suspension bridge and went out to greet them without warning.Moreover, the said credit account seems to be nothing more than half sale and half free.They are so kind and charitable, it seems that they must be popular in the world.

It has to be said that the Gengjiabao is indeed extremely grand.

Wubao looks formidable on the outside, but inside it is arranged like a garden.Many rare plants and trees planted inside can remain green even in the cold winter.

The corridors and verandas along the way extend in all directions, and the decorations on them are rich and colorful.Through the moon cave gate passing by, you can also faintly see a wider space in it.

In the corner of Wubao, you can hear the crisp and loud sound of iron striking, and you think that's where the weapons are made.But that was probably the most important place in Wubao, so Butler Zhao didn't take the three of them to watch.

The maids and servants were busy along the way, and there were lights and festoons everywhere, which seemed to be festive.

Jiang Yuan asked:
"Is there a happy event in your castle today?"

Steward Zhao said with a smile:
"To be honest, there is indeed a happy event. Ten years ago, my young lady met a stranger to find a chance, and then learned from a different person. Now that the young lady has completed her studies, she may be able to go home today. So today my master held a big banquet. At that time, three distinguished guests will also be invited to the banquet."

Jiang Yuan looked at Han Chao and Yuan He and said with a smile:

"It seems that we still came just in time, in time for the banquet."

Butler Zhao bowed slightly and said:
"So here I also want to ask the three distinguished guests to forgive me. My master is handling the chores for the young lady's return home. I really can't come to entertain the three in person, so I can only let the young one do it for me. The three distinguished guests came from the east, and they must have been passed by. Is the Pangjiabao plagued by ghosts? I just heard about the Pangjiabao incident yesterday from a servant who returned halfway. The three distinguished guests must have traveled all night to come to our Gengjiabao. I will take the three distinguished guests there. Rest in the room."

Jiang Yuan said:
"No rush, please trouble Steward Zhao to show us the weapons first, I happen to be short of a handy weapon."

Steward Zhao said with a smile:
"It's easy to say, please follow me, my lord. Although our Gengjiabao's long soldiers may not be outstanding, our short soldiers are not in vain. You will definitely be able to find the desired weapon in the arsenal."

Immediately, Butler Zhao led the three of them to the arsenal where the weapons were stored in the Wubao.

The arsenal was huge, some ordinary fine steel weapons were bundled together like straw and piled up on the ground, and only some fine weapons were neatly stacked on rows of wooden racks for people to watch and choose.

Steward Zhao asked Jiang Yuan while leading the three of them around in the arsenal:

"I don't know what kind of weapon the young master likes?"

Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said:

"Machete. Not too sharp, but stronger and heavier."

Jiang Yuan's strength is now terrifying, and it is extremely difficult to find a suitable weapon. This time, he came here just for a casual stroll, without much hope.

Steward Zhao took out a cold machete from the weapon rack, and handed it to Jiang Yuan:
"Young master's needs are well satisfied. This knife weighs forty catties, and it is extremely strong after multiple tempering. You don't have to worry about breaking it at all. It is most suitable for chopping."

Jiang Yuan took the machete and said with a half-smile:

"Is my need well met?"

He raised the machete with his right hand, and then slashed down towards his left wrist.

The machete made a howling sound, and before everyone had time to react, it had already been chopped down.

There was only a loud and crisp sound of "Boom!", which shook the dust on the beams of the arsenal.

Jiang Yuan's wrist was unscathed, but the machete was broken.

Everyone woke up suddenly, not only Zhao Butler was stunned, even Yuan He and Han Chao were stunned.

Jiang Yuan threw the broken knife away casually:

"Steward Zhao, don't you need to pay for this knife?"

"No. No." Zhao Butler replied blankly, "It's because the little one didn't greet well, and he couldn't satisfy the young master."

With that said, Butler Zhao gave Jiang Yuan a strange look, then came to the end of the arsenal, and opened a large locked box.

What I saw inside the box was a black machete with a whole body, and the body of the knife exuded a unique sense of thickness.

Steward Zhao said:
"My lord, please don't underestimate our Gengjiabao's signboard because of a inferior product. This black gold knife is my master's treasure, and it is rarely displayed on weekdays. The knife weighs 84 catties, and it cuts iron like mud!"

Having said that, Steward Zhao couldn't help showing a hint of arrogance on his face.

He admitted that he underestimated the young man in front of him just now, so he only took a good product to display, so that he almost smashed his own signboard.

However, the creation of weapons in the Gengjiabao era also has its own heritage and signature.This black gold knife is a real boutique, and also one of the treasures of Gengjiabao.

Jiang Yuan lifted the black gold knife from the box, weighed it in his hand, and asked:
"Can I try?"

"This..." Butler Zhao hesitated for a while, he still couldn't figure out the hole card of the young man in front of him, if...
But Butler Zhao quickly settled down, and he was still full of confidence in the treasure of the shop:

"Of course it can!"

Then he hastily added:
"But son, this knife is extremely sharp, it is best to use it to cut other weapons, not to cut hands."

Firstly, Butler Zhao was afraid that Jiang Yuan would hurt him; secondly, he was also worried about another accident that would damage the treasure of the shop.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said:

"It's ok."

After finishing speaking, the black gold knife whistled again in Jiang Yuan's hand, and slashed towards Jiang Yuan's arm.

I don't know if this knife is as powerful as Zhao Butler said, so Jiang Yuan used more strength this time.

Jiang Yuan is not worried about whether he will cut his hand.Even if his hand is cut off, with his current powerful self-healing ability, he can regenerate another one.

"when--!"

The loud sound almost pierced everyone's eardrums, and even the tiles on the top of the arsenal were shaken and crackled.

Many servants outside the arsenal ran over vigilantly, assuming that something bad had happened.

Steward Zhao was frightened by the loud noise for a while, and after realizing it, he hurriedly looked towards the black gold knife.

I saw that the black gold knife was not broken due to its strong toughness, but it was twisted and bent to [-] degrees, and a big gap was opened on the blade.

Jiang Yuan's arm is still intact.

Butler Zhao was stunned. The black gold knife that cut iron like mud and weighed 84 catties still couldn't cut Jiang Yuan, and even bent and collapsed?

Han Chao and Yuan He had the same unbelievable expressions. They always knew that Jiang Yuan was very powerful, but they didn't expect to be so powerful.

They weighed the loud noise just now to judge the huge force of the cut.No matter how strong a martial artist in the world is, he might not be able to bear that knife just now, right?
Jiang Yuan threw the bent black gold knife back into the wooden box, his face full of disappointment.

It seems that the weapons used by ordinary people are completely unable to meet his needs.This knife can't even cut through his own skin, so how can it be used to deal with enemies on the same level as Jiang Yuan.

Steward Zhao apologized, then ran quickly to the gate of the arsenal, summoned a servant and said:

"Hurry up and ask Master Geng and Master to come over and tell them that a powerful kung fu master has come to the castle, and even the black gold knife has been chopped off!"

The servant was shocked when he heard the news:
"Steward Zhao, are you here to mess things up?"

Steward Zhao said angrily:
"I don't know this, hurry up and invite Master and Master Geng! Don't talk so much nonsense!"

The servants left in a hurry.

Butler Zhao returned to apologize to Jiang Yuan:

"It's because I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes. I haven't asked this young master's name yet?"

Originally, Gengjiabao generally does not ask the name of the guests, nor hear where the guests come from and where they are going, unless the guests are willing to tell.Most people who walk in the rivers and lakes do not like to reveal their names, so as not to attract enemies or the government.

Gengjiabao also has this unique rule in order to respect the guests while not causing trouble.

But now, Steward Zhao is not sure about Jiang Yuan's intentions, so he can only break the rules and find out.

Jiang Yuan replied:

"Butler Zhao, don't worry, I'm not here to find trouble."

Butler Zhao felt a little more at ease, he saluted and said:
"Then please wait a little longer, my son. I don't know what kind of weapons in the castle can satisfy you. But please rest assured, I have sent someone to invite Master Geng, who is the most skilled in Gengjiabao. If you are obsessed with forging weapons, you will definitely be able to find a weapon that suits you. My castle master will come to see you soon."

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Alright."

He walked around Gengjiabao, but he couldn't find any trace of ghost energy, so it was time to meet the owner of the castle.
