Chapter 0079 Famous Ironsmith

"This ghost weather is so hot that it's not too hot for people to live just at the end of May."

"Why would Yulang and I go to the ice cellar to practice martial arts? It would be very cool there." Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

Luo Cheng shook his head quickly, "It's too cold, I'd rather be hotter."

He also read Zhang Xuan's Bluestone Sutra, but the Bluestone Sutra has no meaning to him. He started laying the foundation for cultivating the Yuan Dynasty at the age of six, and practiced the technique of gathering strength at the age of seven, and had made two breakthroughs and could no longer practice.

In fact, Zhang Xuan gradually realized later that Wang Bodang said that what he said at the beginning was correct. Each family practiced the technique of gathering strength and the formula of medicine was also different. Once they chose, they could no longer practice other people's martial arts, otherwise they would be disabled at the least, and they would be killed at the worst.

Moreover, the Bluestone Sutra is specially designed for adults to practice after birth, and the purple fetal pill is formulated based on the physical constitution of adults, because children cannot withstand the heat in their bodies. However, even adults cannot practice without the extraordinary qualifications of Zhang Xuan, otherwise there will be big problems.

Therefore, Luo Cheng's interest in the Blue Stone Sutra is far less than that of the Ziyang Thirteen Spears. He was only interested in the Purple Insect Jade Pupal, so he asked Zhang Xuan for two to help his second sister who was preparing to have a baby.

Luo Cheng had two sisters, both of whom were married. The eldest sister married his cousin, Lu Qingyuan, the second son of the Lu family in Fanyang, and his second sister married Li family in Zhaojun. Both families were famous families in Hebei.

This was also Luo Yi's painstaking arrangement. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Youzhou, he had to marry a Hebei family. He even considered asking his son Luo Cheng to marry the daughter of the Lu family.

"Did you go to the Lu family for a blind date today?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile again.

Luo Cheng was afraid of mentioning this matter, so he quickly changed the topic, "I'll find you a suitable blacksmith."

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed. He wanted to make the black iron of the Gasha into a halberd head. He found several famous blacksmiths, but they didn't dare to take on this job. Zhang Xuan could only ask Luo Cheng, a local snake, for help, but he didn't expect he found it so soon.

"Where?"

"Just in Lujiazhuang, when will you come with me?"

Zhang Xuan was anxious and couldn't wait for a moment.

"Let's go now!"

He turned around and ran towards his room, and Luo Cheng shouted from behind: "Bring your spear with you!"

...........

Luo Cheng was full of gratitude to Zhang Xuan. He was fond of martial arts as if he was alive. Unfortunately, his strength was not strong enough. He had only two efforts to break through, making a sixty-pound iron spear. He could only place all his hopes on his marksmanship.

Although the Luo family's Five-Hooked God Flying Spear is also a famous gunshot technique in the world, it is far from comparable to the three magical skills of Thunder Hammer, Long Live Move and Ziyang Ji.

But God blessed him, allowing him to meet the generous and righteous Zhang Xuan, and let him learn the legendary Ziyang Ji.

Unfortunately, the Ziyang Ji was a heavy weapon and martial arts. He was not strong enough. Luo Cheng relied on his own superb intelligence to merge the Ziyang Ji with the family's Five-Hooked God Flying Spear. In just half a month, his gunshot skills improved by leaps and bounds, and even his father could not match him for ten rounds. He was not his father's opponent in the past.

Zhang Xuan didn't know that it was his unintentional action that actually created a powerful general who was famous all over the world for his marksmanship.

The two left Luo Mansion and rode their horses toward the north gate of the city. The streets were crowded with crowds and were extremely congested. It turned out that the relief porridge started beside the north gate of the city, which seemed to attract all the refugees in the city.

Zhang Xuan saw that there were black heads near the city gate in the distance, and there were countless crowds of thousands of people. He was a little surprised and said, "Yulang, there seem to be many refugees in Ji County!"

"yes!"

Luo Cheng sighed, "I heard from my father that there are as many as 300,000 to 400,000. Today, when I issued an order to the Zhuo County government to resettle them, how can I resettle them? I can only provide some porridge every day and let them occupy land to build shacks."

“Can’t let them go back to their hometown?”

Luo Cheng shook his head, "If there were no military guards, even if they left Jixian, they would not be able to return to their hometown. They would either flee to the Turks and become subjects of the Turkic dynasty, or they would be robbed by bandits such as Wang, Wei Daoer, Lu Mingyue, etc., which would only make these bandits free. So today, Zi would rather let them stay in the city and give them some grain and rice every day to help them, than allow the Zhuo County government to drive them back to their hometown."

Zhang Xuan then understood the truth and stopped asking. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him. When he turned around, he saw a horseman running towards him.

"Zhang Xuan, why are you here?"

Zhang Xuan recognized him, and it turned out to be his former boss, Chen Liang, who was in the Yan Prince's Mansion. He was overjoyed and quickly turned over and dismounted. The two laughed and hugged each other.

Chen Liang smiled and punched him in the shoulder, "Boy, have you been to the Turks? Why are you here?"

"I just came back from the grassland and walked on Youzhou Road."

"Oh! So that's it."

He glanced at Luo Cheng again, "This one is—"

Zhang Xuan quickly introduced them, and the two greeted him, but Chen Liang obviously had something to say to Zhang Xuan. He pulled Zhang Xuan aside and whispered: "Your Highness King Yan is also in Youzhou, do you know?"

Zhang Xuan was stunned, "I don't know, I thought he was in Luoyang!"

Chen Liang smiled mysteriously, "His Royal Highness Yan talked about you this morning, you are such a bad guy! You have done a big thing in the Turks."

"What are you referring to?"

Chen Liang waved his hand and smiled, "I don't know what it is. I still have urgent matters now. I must do it immediately. You will come to Shuo Palace tomorrow, and His Highness Yan is there. We will talk about it tomorrow. I will hold a drink to celebrate your merits."

Chen Liang patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder and turned over the horse. He came like a gust of wind and went like a gust of wind. He probably was hooked away by the wine insect again.

Luo Cheng looked at him riding a horse and said with a smile: "This guy is not bad!"

Zhang Xuan was still recalling Chen Liang's words. The big thing he was talking about should refer to 300,000 pieces of military armor, but how could it be passed to the Central Plains so quickly, which made him puzzled.

"Let's go! Let's go and do the job first."

When Zhang Xuan thought of his weapons, he couldn't help but feel energetic and urged his horse to follow Luo Cheng out of the north city gate and ran north.

.........

The Lu family of Fanyang has been a world-famous family since the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially represented by the great scholar Lu Zhi, which profoundly influenced the development process of the chaotic times in the late Han Dynasty.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Lu family of Fanyang even squeezed into the world-famous five surnames and seven hopes, becoming one of the seven famous families.

In order to gain a foothold in Youzhou, Luo Yi not only married the daughter of Lu, but also married his eldest daughter to Lu Qingyuan, the second son of Lu Zhuo, the head of the Lu family, which established a very close relationship between the Lu and Luo families.

Like other aristocratic families, the ancestral land of the Lu family is in the Lu family Villa north of Ji County, and has thousands of hectares of fertile land on the banks of the Sanggan River. However, the main figures of the Lu family live in Ji County. There is a large mansion covering an area of ​​nearly 100 acres in the northeast of the city, which lives in dozens of direct descendants of the Lu family, including the two brothers of the Lu family.

However, the place where Luo Cheng was going was Lu's Villa. Lu's Villa was about 80 miles away from Ji County. It is located in a beautiful mountain bay. A small river passes around the village like a jade belt. To the south of the river is an endless field of wheat and millet.

There is also an old house covering an area of ​​100 acres in Lu's Villa. Because the climate here is cool and pleasant, in midsummer, the children of Lu's direct descendants will come back from the city to escape the summer heat.

Luo Cheng took Zhang Xuan to the east of the villa, where nearly a hundred families of the Lu family were living in it, with hundreds of people. Their status was much worse than that of the legitimate heirs, and their monthly payment was not enough to support their families. They had to engage in other livelihoods, but most of them made a living in the Lu family's own industries.

Zhang Xuan and Luo Cheng galloped all the way. One hour later, they rushed to the Lou Villa. Along the way, the two argued about the status of merchants. Zhang Xuan was really puzzled by the Lou family's large amount of business.

The two walked into the villa, and Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Yuanding, you think about the problem too simply. Merchants have no good status, but who doesn't do anything about making money? The Lu family's disciples are all over the world, and the Lu family's industries are also all over the world. But who dares to say that the Lu family is a businessman?

Not only the Lu family, the Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe, and the Li family of Zhaojun, who do not have big shops and caravans, otherwise how could they support such a large family by relying on just a few acres of land?"

Yuan Ding was the word Zhang Xuan gave to him. Apart from Li Yuan, the second person who called him a name for his name was Luo Cheng. Zhang Xuan knew that he could not say anything to Luo Cheng, so he smiled, "I'm just curious that the Lu family actually has a blacksmith shop."

"You are wrong! The Lu family has no blacksmith shop, and the place we are going to is not a blacksmith shop. It is a real master's home, but he has a weird temper, just don't say anything."

Luo Chengyizhi a family not far from the villa, "It's there!"

They did not enter the Lu family's ancestral home with high walls and deep courtyards, but came to the Lu Dong house next to them. Although the name is Zhai, it is actually a low bungalow with a stone road of more than meter wide.

On one side is the high walls of the ancestral house, and on the other side is the dense family. Hundreds of Lu commoners live here. The conditions are not bad. They all have their own courtyards, and a group of children are chasing and playing on the street.

Luo Cheng came to a small door, turned over and got off the horse, and went forward and knocked on the door. After a moment, a five or six-year-old child opened the door. He knew Luo Cheng and smiled and said, "Why is Mr. Yu coming again?"

"Brother Huai, is your grandfather still here?"

"exist!"

The child ran back to the house and shouted, "Azu, Mr. Yu is here."

Zhang Xuan also turned over and got off the horse. He saw an old man with gray hair coming out of the house. He was about fifty or sixty years old. He was of medium shape, but he had a big waist and a round waist, and was extremely strong. Zhang Xuan knew that the old man was named Lu Yi and he was of high age in the Lu family.

It was obvious that Luo Chengchang was here and was very familiar with him. Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Third Master, I brought someone."

Lu Yi looked up and down at Zhang Xuan and asked, "Is he who has the Kasha Black Iron?"

"It's this Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Sister Zhang Xuan met Senior Lo!"

Lu Yi stretched his face and said, "You don't have to get close to me. I never allow strangers to step into this door. It's just because you have the black iron of Gasha? Show it to me!"

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly, indeed, there was a little 'character', maybe people with some ability were like this. He quickly took off the Kasha Black Iron hanging on the saddle and took off the iron spear on the other side.

Lu Yao glanced at the tightly wrapped Gasha Xuantie and ordered: "Leave the horses to my disciples, come with me!"

A young man ran to lead the horse, and Zhang Xuan followed Luo Cheng to the backyard. An unbearable wave of heat hit her face. Zhang Xuan was already indifferent to hotness, but Luo Cheng frowned in a hot and cold manner.

The backyard covers an area of ​​three acres and only two thatched huts, but the empty yard is filled with various iron tools, mainly based on farm tools, and is well-built. There is a blacksmith furnace in the other corner, with the fire red. Two young children with naked upper bodies and shiny bodies are making iron tools.

Zhang Xuan saw a rare huge leather blower rack with a pile of good coal on the ground. He nodded secretly. With this blower and these coals alone, Lu Yao was a little more capable.

The three of them walked into the hut, and the room was full of various weapons. Zhang Xuan saw a horizontal knife at first sight. It had no sheath and was hung on the wall with a cold light. The knife shape was smooth, the blade was extremely sharp, and there were patterns on the back of the knife, which was actually made of iron.

"Sit down!"

Lu Yao asked them to sit down, but no one poured them tea. Zhang Xuan put the iron gun on the table and pulled off its gun sheath.

Lu Yao looked at the iron gun and said, "The difference between a gun and a spear lies in the flexibility of the gun. The iron is the hardest iron. Wouldn't it be a completely different place to use the hardest thing as a gun?"

"Can he make a halberd pole?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Of course, but the black iron of Gasha is very heavy. If your piece is really a black iron of Gasha, it weighs at least seventy or eighty kilograms. According to the balanced power ratio between the halberd pole and the halberd head, your long halberd weighs at least one hundred and fifty kilograms. You should consider it yourself!

Lu Yao said casually. He obviously didn't believe that Zhang Xuan had the Kasha Xuan Iron. He had seen too many fake Xuan Irons, so it was probably the same one.

Zhang Xuan silently placed the skin on the small table and slowly untied the rope on the skin. Lu Yao couldn't help but snorted softly, could there be such a big black iron in the world? What does this person think the black iron in Gasha is?
