Chapter 221
Seeing Ye Guhong want to go ashore, Jin Mingjun’s eyes lit up, as if nothing had happened, he got up and said, “Since this is the case, I will also go with you, otherwise you men, where will you talk about the price?”
While saying this, she glanced at Zhang Cuishan, hoping that he would say he would not go, so that she could have a date with her brother alone.
Unfortunately, Zhang Cuishan married ten years, straight male style does not reduce, big grin said “thanks to the sister”, will follow with.
Down to the boat, Ye Guhong and Zhang Cuishan all the way to talk, Jin Mingjun angry little daughter-in-law like behind, rolled all the way to the eyes.
Meng Yuan dynasty, changed the Anqing province for the Anqing road, jurisdiction over six counties, is the communication between the north and south of the key places.
Road rule in Huai Ning County, the city is prosperous, everything, but only no weapon sales –
Blacksmith stores, mostly heavy furniture, even if you buy a kitchen knife, have to go to the Yamen registration, and the knife on the number.
Zhang Cuishan put a forehead slap, bitter smile: “many years of wandering overseas, is my negligence, the more big place, the yuan court more strict control, but those small township town, quietly trading some weapons is not a problem.”
Ye Guhong has more insight than him, and thought that there is a policy at the top and a strategy at the bottom, this matter has been true since ancient times, and the Yuan court’s sloppy management is even more unlikely to be an exception.
At that moment, touch out one or two silver stuffed to the blacksmith, only said is walking in the jianghu, get some weapons for self-defense, please blacksmith to point out the way.
Blacksmith receive silver a weighing, grinning up: “customer, this is exactly the snake has snake road, rat has rat road, both thanks to look up to the villain, villain today will teach you a good: in the future to the big city, if you want to buy weapons, only care to go to the antique store.”
Three people realized, according to the words to find an antique store, the plaque on the door is written in three words: time to stop.
Zhang Cuishan joy: “good name, calligraphy is also good, this shopkeeper must be an origin.”
Hurriedly walked in to take a look, can not help but secretly frowned, only to see the shelves on the set, but some old pottery broken tiles, hanging on the wall, are also two or three streams of calligraphy and painting.
All utensils, are a thick layer of ash, do not know how long no one asked.
Recliner on the boss is about to fall asleep, face cover this “Dong Xuan Zi thirty-six styles”, while sleeping while letting out a hee hee giggle, I do not know what the dream of the light.
Zhang Cuishan sighed: “Who knows this store, the most wonderful is actually the signboard, hey, go rest!”
Was about to pull the leaf, gold two people left, recliner dozing boss suddenly sat up, drinking: “and slow! Your guests can look at my plaque, visible eyesight is not extraordinary, I do not know what I want to buy, small store warehouse may have.”
The three people looked, only to see this boss early thirties age, looks rich, but the look through the shrewd.
Ye Guhong smiled, “We are rough people, we don’t love calligraphy, painting, jade and porcelain, but love to collect weapons, I don’t know if the treasure store can have good goods?”
The boss looked him up and down and mused, “Listening to your guest’s accent, you are not local people, are you passing guests?”
The three of them all nodded their heads, the boss then piled up a smile and said, “If so, I can sell you some good antiques, follow me.”
Now cover the store door, with a few people into the backyard, has been to the woodshed, stood still and said: “The store’s collection of several antiques, all have a history, I look at you and so you are practicing martial arts, can you know that the battle of Xiangyang in the previous dynasty?”
Zhang Cuishan solemnly said: “Guo warrior leader of the martial arts, sit in Xiangyang for decades, is a model for my generation.”
The boss nodded and said, “That’s all, it seems that you are also the children of the great schools in the martial arts, if not for the orderly inheritance, where do you know these stories?”
Said holding open a pile of firewood, revealing seven or eight kinds of extraordinary momentum of the blade to.
Zhang Cuishan “eek” sound, reached out and took a judge’s pen in the hand, wrist twist, perform a few strokes of the brush, that sharp brush stroke through the air, snorting, Zhang Cuishan suddenly bright eyes, praised: “Good equipment! Two feet three inches, one catty eight taels, good political steel, the great craftsmen hundred refining, the owner of this year, must not be an ordinary person!”
Judge’s Pen is not a common weapon.
Zhang Cuishan originally intended to find a blacksmith, casually made a will make use of, later settled down, and then find the master craftsman slowly build a good.
Unexpectedly here actually have a finished product, and the quality is outstanding, than their own lost that one even better, suddenly rejoiced.
That boss see him in a moment to judge the weight, superiority and inferiority, trust a few strokes brush out, strokes brilliant atmosphere, also since a stunned, clasped his fist and said: “It seems that your Excellency is not a general jianghu characters, if you do not give up, I would like to ask for the name.”
Jin Mingjun proudly said: “Your eyesight is not extraordinary, this is the Wudang school Zhang Zhenren under the seat of the fifth disciple, the jianghu people say ‘silver hook iron paddle’ is!
The boss was surprised: “So it is the Wudang Zhang five warriors return to the jianghu!” He quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
Zhang Cuishan see each other know his disappearance, then obviously is also a jianghu people, clasped his fists to return the salute: “I am exactly Zhang Cuishan, but I do not know brother’s name.”
That boss laughed: “Under no name junior, only practiced a few hands of rough kung fu, originally insufficient to mention, but Zhang five warriors both move to ask, under natural to tell the truth-”
“I am a person from Dingyuan County of Zhuo State, my surname is Li, my name is Shanchang, therefore my hometown is evil to the county officials, I have no choice but to leave my hometown and come here to do some small business to settle down.”
Ye Guhong sniffed, couldn’t help but measure the other party carefully for a few eyes: so this is the future Da Ming’s first accomplished official!
Zhang Cuishan would not think much about it and only smiled, “So it’s Brother Li, Brother Li just said that all these instruments have their origins, could it be related to the Battle of Xiangyang?”
Li Shanchang nodded: “In the eighth year of Xianchun in the previous dynasty, the outer part of Fancheng was broken by the Yuan army, and the defenders were trapped in the inner city, the Song court sent general Fan Wenhu to rescue him, and Wenhu was afraid of the battle, then there were the Hanzhong heroes Zhang Gui and Zhang Shun, who inherited the three kingdoms’ Ma Chao’s gun skills and were known as ‘the two warriors of the divine gun’, dispersed all of their family’s money, and recruited 3,000 strong warriors, who are all Hanzhong, Shuzhong area famous warriors, drum courage to save Xiangyang, several defeated the Yuan army brigade, Guo warrior Xu as “model warrior”.”
Zhang Cuishan praised: “Good man! If I had been born a few decades earlier, I would have been praised by Warrior Guo, and even if I had died, my chivalrous bones would still smell good!”
Li Shanchang continued: “Fan Wenhu learned that two Zhang brave, took the initiative to invite two Zhang led the strong men under his command, pincer attack Longwei Chau Yuan army, two Zhang allowed, the day of the battle, the wind and rain, Fan Wenhu was alarmed, thought that the sky is not a sign of uncertainty, retreated thirty miles, two Zhang did not know that he changed his mind, the lone army killed the Mongolian army camp, the force of the battle one day, the two Zhang tired, dozens of body shots, phi arrows such as hedgehogs, bled to death. Only a few of his men escaped from the water, and the rest were killed in battle.”
Said pause for a long time, shook his head and sighed: “After this battle, Xiangyang no longer have foreign aid.”
Zhang Cuishan listened to the tears, Ye Guhong asked: “What happened to Fan Wenhu?”
Li Shanchang sneered: “This person is a powerful prime minister Jia Sidao crony, although impeached, but there is Jia Sidao care, let him come to Anqing as a governor, he simply raised the city to surrender to the Yuan, and became a Mongolian Tartar big official. Guo warrior sent several times to kill him, were blocked by Mongolian experts, these blades …… are those who came to assassinate this thief s experts left behind.”
Ye Kuhong frowned: “Did not win?”
Li Shanchang said: “The old thief enjoys a life of eighty, end of life, children and grandchildren, generations of wealth.”
Zhang Cuishan jaws angrily said: “God is blind!”
Li Shanchang said: “God has no eyes, we have a sword. Li Mou is not talented, three years ago I attacked the Fan Mansion at night and killed thirty-five men, women, and children, destroying their heirs.”
Zhang Cuishan raised his eyebrows and shouted, “Faster!”
Li Shanchang face pale: “In fact, when the assassination of Fan Wenhu, died in Anqing’s good man, there is Li’s grandfather, he enjoys the blessings of his ancestors, I report the blood revenge of my ancestors, there is a cause and a fault only.”
Finished also no longer talk more, smiling touched Zhang Cuishan hand judge pen: “This pen in your Zhang five warriors in the palm, is considered to have a real life master, his last master, is the ‘Tiannan pen’ Zhu Ziliu Zhu old-timer.”
Zhang Cuishan surprised: “So it is this senior!” Raising the pen for a closer look, his expression grew more and more joyful.
Li Shanchang looked at Ye Guhong again, “I don’t know this brother’s name, and what antiques do you want?”
Ye Kuhong looked at the weapons, mostly swords, or Qi Men blades, then said, “My Emei Ye Kuhong, want a lance, but unfortunately your place does not have.”
Li Shan Chang’s eyebrows twitched and stared at him, “‘Emei Golden Boy’? No wonder you can make a place with the Fifth Warrior Zhang, but young warrior Ye, this lance is not something you have to use in the jianghu.”
Ye Guhong smiled and said, “Walking in the jianghu, Ye Mou has a palm and a sword is enough, wanting a lance is to one day ask it to drink full of Hu blood.”
Li Shan long laughed, went up to the hamlet jang pushed away a few blades, the following mat unveiled, revealing two zhang two feet of iron gun, although it is the old things, but the sharpness of especially cold, look at a glance, hairs are erected.
Ye Guhong rejoiced, exclaimed: “Good heavy killing gas! Good gun, good gun!”
Li Shanchang proudly said, “Since it can be in the eyes, so why don’t you take both of them! This is the year of the divine gun dual warrior relics, originally seniors want to kill that Fan Wenhu with this gun, specially brought, but unexpectedly fell into the government treasury, I also spent a lot of effort to come out.”
Ye Guhong heart, since Chang Yu Chun also intends to learn the gun, these two guns, just to him and Xu Da share, to his two future identity, enough to deserve this gun is the owner.
At that moment took the gun, stuffed into two bundles of firewood, make the stretcher pick up, smiled and said: “Thank you brother for your love, as for the price ……”
Li Shanchang waved his hand: “Tennant a pen of the Judge, God gun double knight’s point steel gun, if it is selling money, is not vulgar! Li do not want gold and silver, as long as you two a favor, how?”
Zhang Cuishan color: “As long as it is not hurtful, contrary to the chivalrous thing, the knife mountain fire sea also for you to go through.”
Li Shanchang said: “That is natural. Think of the future, and then with the two said!”
Said, smilingly led the two out, Zhang Cuishan invited him to go drinking, he did not go, and said “today’s talk too much, the interest has been exhausted”, Zhang Cuishan thought this is a strange person, can not be forced, thank you again and again, pulling Ye Kuhong left.
And return to the ship, it was late, the people waited anxiously, was about to enter the city to look for.
Zhang Cuishan will talk about the trip encounter, all heard are sighing, Zhu Chong eight is more exclaimed: “Dingyuan County people, also counts our hometown, to come back, but to visit visit.”
Ye Kuhong took out two guns to, Xu Da natural great joy, Tang and see, also love, Chang Yu Chun see him like this, sighed: “It’s just, I don’t different Tang and brother competition, only use this snake spear just.”
So Xu Da, Tang and each take an iron gun, the two can not wait for the daybreak, will pester Ye Guhong teaching gun law.
And the next day, the boat slowly offshore, the wind continues to travel west, Xu Da, Tang and every day on the deck to learn the gun, flowers and clouds and other people, also join, a time of lively and lively, the time passes like a fly.
This kind of day and night, and then a few days, the boat has arrived in Hanyang, is the territory of the Golden Whip door.
