Chapter 263: Tailor-Made Weapons, Shocking Changes in the Capital

"A famous weapons master in Wanshou County? Why do you ask?"

The next morning, Song Linqing, who was having breakfast, asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Oh, I accidentally lost my sword in the Mountain of Beasts, so I plan to find a weapons master to make another one for me."

Of course, Zhao Ya would not say that the Meteor Iron Sword had been broken into pieces, so he found an excuse for losing it.

"I see, then you are asking the right person. The most famous person in Wanshou County is the master who forges weapons and armor. Our Song family alone enshrines several well-known armor-casting masters."

"But if you want to make weapons, I still recommend you to find a good craftsman outside. For example, Master Xie Yuanxie, who has become famous in recent years, is very good. It's just that there are too many people looking for him to make weapons. You want to If you want to do it, you have to wait in line for at least a year.”

Of course, Zhao Ya couldn't wait that long.

In fact, in his reservation plan, he would only stay in Wanshou County for ten days at most.

Now four days have passed, which means he only has six days left to wait.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Just find a not-so-famous craftsman to make one for me quickly."

At this stage, Zhao Ya is no longer so picky about weapons.

As long as the quality is high, Zhao Ya doesn't care whether it is made by a famous master or not.

"In that case, the range of choices will be much wider. Well, it just so happens that I should go to the city in the next two days, so I will go with you." Song Linqing said.

"good."

Based on the friendship between Zhao Ya and Song Linqing, there was no need to say any kind words.

After Song Linqing had breakfast, he tidied up a little, and then rushed to Wanshou County with Zhao Ya.

In addition to the two of them, there are Song Peiwan and Zui'er, and besides them, Tan Dong.

The last time he went to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, Zhao Ya didn't take anyone with him because it was too dangerous, so Tan Dong naturally didn't dare to say anything about it.

But this time we were going to the county town, so of course Tan Dong had to follow.

Tan Dong was very excited along the way, riding his horse around and around. One moment he came to Zhao Ya and said a few words, and the next moment he ran ahead and said he wanted to look out for warning.

Zhao Ya didn't bother to care about him.

It is about a hundred miles from Danfeng Town to Wanshou County. If Zhao Ya walked this distance alone, it would take at most an hour.

But because there were so many people traveling this time, the speed was much slower.

Starting from the morning, it was not until the sun was almost setting in the afternoon that we arrived at the county seat of Wanshou County.

Song Linqing was naturally familiar with the road and led the group to settle in the house he bought in the city.

Then he led Zhao Ya and Tan Dong to Weapon Factory City in Wanshou County.

As a specialty industry of Wanshou County, it attracts a large number of merchants every day.

Even in this era when the roads are almost cut off, the business here has not been affected, but has become more and more popular.

Song Linqing led Zhao Ya to the most prosperous weapons street and introduced it as he walked.

"Although these shops along the street are not very eye-catching, in fact, all of them have a profound background and background, otherwise they would not be able to open in such a place. Moreover, the daily turnover of these shops is extremely amazing, just like this one."

As he spoke, Song Linqing raised his hand and pointed at one of the shops. The door was filled with guns of different lengths.

"This shop specializing in firearms can sell at least hundreds of guns every day. Sometimes when it comes to big customers, a single order can reach thousands."

Speaking of this, Song Linqing's eyes flashed with a hint of envy.

"This is the real big business. In comparison, my small town of Danfeng is far behind."

But Song Linqing just sighed, and then said seriously: "But the weapons sold on this street are all made in large quantities by craftsmen. They are cheap and large in quantity, but the quality is average."

"If you want it tailor-made, you have to go to Quenching Street."

The weapons workshop city in Wanshou County is very interesting. The streets are named after the craftsmanship of forging weapons.

For example, forging alley, polishing alley, etc.

This time, Song Linqing led Zhao Ya to the Tempering Street, which specializes in making weapons and blades for private individuals.

And just as Zhao Ya followed Song Linqing to Quenching Street, a man with dark skin, plain appearance, and even a bit ugly walked in quickly from a house in Wanshou County.

As he walked, the man shouted: "Second uncle, second uncle!"

Song Yuanrui, who was drinking tea and reading in the study, couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.

What he hates most is when someone disturbs him while he is reading.

But there was no way, the person who came was his wife's nephew, so even for the sake of his wife, Song Yuanrui couldn't get angry.

"Stop shouting, I'm here."

After hearing this, the man quickly walked into the study, and then said with excitement: "Second uncle, I just got the news that Song Linqing has brought his sister into the city."

"Oh? Are both brother and sister Song Linqing here?" Song Yuanrui put down his tea cup and asked with interest.

"That's right, I have been ordering people to secretly pay attention to the activities of their brother and sister's house in the city during this period, and then today the people I sent out saw their brother and sister moving into that house with their own eyes." Pu Jujian said.

"It's hard for you to be so careful, so what are your plans?" Song Yuanrui asked.

"What else can I plan? Of course I'll come to ask for my hand in marriage as soon as possible." Pu Jujian said impatiently.

Song Yuanrui shook his head secretly.

Last time, he risked his reputation and wrote a letter to Song Linqing, but it went into the sea and never came back.

Song Yuanrui understood the attitude of the brother and sister at that time.

If he followed Song Yuanrui's meaning, the matter would be over.

After all, they belong to the same Song family, and if they are too ugly, it will easily attract gossip from others.

But Song Yuanrui's wife loves her nephew, and Pu Jujian is obsessed with marrying Song Peiwan.

He can only let it go.

Now seeing his nephew say this, Song Yuanrui had to say: "In this case, you will go to the backyard to find your aunt later, and let her take you there in person tomorrow."

"Okay." Pu Jujian turned around and left after hearing this.

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong, second uncle?"

"Take this little money, go buy two new clothes later, dress yourself up, don't be so sloppy."

"Thank you, second uncle." Pu Jujian took the silver and left excitedly.

Looking at his back, Song Yuanrui sighed.

It's not that he looks down on his nephew.

But based on his appearance, standing next to Song Linqing's sister Song Peiwan, the contrast is simply tragic.

But since he insists on doing so, let him give it a try.

If it works, it will be better. If it doesn't, he will give up.

As for whether Song Linqing will be angry about this...

To be honest, Song Yuanrui doesn't care too much.

Even though Song Linqing has run Danfeng Town very well in the past two years, his foundation is still too shallow.

And his sister will get married sooner or later, and he is just proposing a marriage with "good intentions", so he can't say anything.

Song Yuanrui continued to drink tea contentedly.

At the same time, on Quehuo Street, an old craftsman with gray hair came up with a clay slab in his hand.

"Young man, please hold this piece of clay with the hand that you hold the knife with."

Zhao Ya did as he was told.

Then the old craftsman carefully measured Zhao Ya's arm length, wrist width and other data.

Zhao Ya was a little curious and finally couldn't help asking: "Are you taking a model?"

"Yes, young man, you are very knowledgeable. You should know that everyone's palm shape and arm length are different, which will cause subtle differences when holding a knife."

"Although this difference is insignificant to most people, when the strength reaches a certain level, a tiny difference will bring two completely different results."

"That's why I carefully measured these, in order to create a knife that best fits the young man." The old craftsman said very seriously.

Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

What is professionalism?

This is called professionalism!

In comparison, the Iron Forging Villa that he had seen in Yunxiao County before was far inferior.

However, although it was professional, the price was really high, especially when Zhao Ya asked for an expedited production, preferably within five days, the cost was even more expensive.

The deposit alone was 10,000 taels, and another 20,000 taels had to be paid after the production was completed.

A total of 30,000 taels of gold was enough to make a pure gold knife.

But Zhao Ya didn't think it was expensive.

When he bought dried meat, he would often pay 10,000 or 20,000 taels of gold, plus a precious weapon itself was worth a lot of money, and it was custom-made, which was a great value.

Naturally, Song Linqing couldn't pay for such a thing. After Zhao Ya paid the deposit neatly, he walked out the door.

Tan Dong followed behind with a look of amazement.

"Brother Zhao, you just gave me such a thick stack of gold notes?"

"What else?" Zhao Ya laughed.

"Brother Zhao, I am your half-brother who has been separated for many years." Tan Dong said with an exaggerated expression.

Zhao Ya laughed and kicked Tan Dong's butt.

"Get lost!"

Song Linqing watched from behind with a smile, and suddenly felt like he was back in Wuxiang City, Yunxiao County.

At this moment, the originally noisy streets suddenly became quiet, and then a team wearing colorful cloaks passed through the streets. Wherever they passed, people avoided them.

"It's the Five Poison Sect. In the past year or so, their activities have become more frequent, and their power in Wanshou County has become increasingly powerful. Many gangs have joined them. I don't know what they want to do." Song Linqing sighed softly.

Zhao Ya's face was indifferent, and only a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

…………

Yandu City, the Imperial Palace.

Today was supposed to be the day for court, but since taking the Dragon and Tiger Yang Pill tributed by Wei Tianlin, Yan Tingshan's "interest" was aroused, and he didn't care about going to court.

After a whole day of tossing and turning, in the evening, Yan Tingshan finally felt a little tired.

He lay on the bed panting heavily, feeling sweaty, but his body and mind were extremely comfortable.

"Beauty, are you convinced?" Yan Tingshan said with a smile.

Feng Rong looked charming, and said with a sweet smile: "I am convinced, Your Majesty is really vigorous."

"Hahahaha, this is just the beginning, I will fight you for another 300 rounds later."

"Someone come!" Yan Tingshan turned around and shouted.

Soon someone brought ginseng tea and a delicate little box.

Yan Tingshan drank the ginseng tea first, then couldn't wait to open the little box and threw the quail egg-sized pill into his mouth.

After a while, Yan Tingshan's face flushed, and his hands couldn't help rubbing.

"Beauty, I..."

But at this moment, Yan Tingshan suddenly stiffened, spit out a large mouthful of blood, and then fell on the dragon bed and fainted.

Seeing this scene, Feng Rong's foxy eyes flashed a trace of joy.

It was worth all her hard work for so many days. The Emperor of Great Yan finally couldn't hold on and fell seriously ill.

But soon she pretended to be panicked and shouted.

"Come... someone, the emperor is sick!"

For a while, the whole Great Yan Palace was boiling.

And soon, the news that Yan Tingshan suddenly fell ill and fainted also spread in the capital of Yan.
