Chapter 42
After being expressed in this moment, Cheng Yaojin was embarrassed to ask for it again. But when this magic weapon was in front of him, it was like a beauty on his side. If he didn't take it over to see it, he felt really itchy. Cheng Yaojin had to look at Li Mu, and Li Mu said: "Let me show Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng has his own weapons, can he steal yours? Besides, isn't this chain tied up? It's okay!"
When Li Chongyi thought about it, he was right. Cheng Yaojin was not as strong as he was. As long as he was clasped, he couldn't take it away even if he wanted to. He jumped off the horse and handed the axe over.
Cheng Yaojin glared at Li Mu fiercely, what does it mean to have chains? But then he thought, his character was not so reliable. If he met someone like him, it would be impossible to show it to him. After thinking about it this way, he felt a little relieved, and jumped off the horse and took the axe.
Cheng Yaojin took the axe with one hand because Li Chongyi also handed it over with one hand, but as soon as Li Chongyi let go, he couldn't hold it anymore. He quickly handed the other hand over and held it, otherwise the axe would fall to the ground.
"Good guy, that's so heavy!" Cheng Yaojin weighed it, at least eighty kilograms. This is the ultimate weight of a two-handed weapon. The two axes he used were only 36 kilograms each, and there were few opponents in fighting weapons on the battlefield. And Li Chongyi's one-handed axe was actually heavier than his two. Cheng Yaojin couldn't help looking at Li Chongyi, how strong does this kid have to have!
Cheng Yaojin returned the axe to Li Chongyi and said, "How do you use this axe on weekdays?"
Li Chongyi looked at Li Mu, Li Mu nodded, and he replied honestly: "Slash in close combat, hang the distance attack on the chain, throw it out and smash it."
"I see what you do with an axe with one hand and the other?"
Li Chongyi said seriously: "The boss told me to use a shield, but there is no shield yet. When the boss has time, he will give me a shield."
"Boss?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Mu in horror and said, "This, did you make this axe?"
"yes."
"You actually do..." Cheng Yaojin stopped halfway through the question. This was obviously a nonsense. People said it, but they still asked, wouldn't they be fools?
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin's eyes rolled and had a bold idea. If he didn't come, he might as well ask him to help him. At worst, he would have to pay! Anyway, with the money tree of the horse farm, he doesn't lack money.
"Nephew, how much does it cost to build such an axe?"
"Well... it's not expensive, about 5,000 guan. But now I can't beat it anymore, there's no meteorite. Uncle, this axe was made by meteorites from the Ministry of Works. I originally wanted to hit a pair, but there was no material, so I could only barely have one."
“…”
Cheng Yaojin didn't ask again because he couldn't afford to build such an axe. He could take out five thousand jins of meteorites, and where would he do it? But he didn't give up on this idea, and planned to go back and make a long-term plan. While others didn't know that Li Mu would build weapons, they would get someone else's meteorites first, so that the Cheng family could get a heirloom!
The group left Zhulu Hou Mansion and went to the horse farm, without saying a word. Just as they left, a carriage came to Anyifang.
At first glance, this carriage looks no different from the carriages of ordinary wealthy families, but when you look closer, you will find that the car is made of black nanmu. Black nanmu is the best among nanmu. It does not have insects and ants, and has its own fragrance. It is not found in the Tang Dynasty. It is a tribute from the Zhenla Kingdom and is most praised by contemporary literati and scholars. Ordinary people should cherish and collect a piece of wood, and the owner of this carriage actually used it to make a carriage, which shows the value of the people in the carriage.
Next to the carriage, there were four guards, all of whom were introverted masters.
"Your Highness, you're here. The Zhulu Marquis' Mansion is ahead."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a round face. It was Li Tai. Li Tai looked out. The four flying white characters in the Marquis of Zhulu were written by his father Li Shimin. The jade seal on the lower right was also unique, and it should be correct.
"Help me come down."
Li Tai said, one guard dismounted and held his arm, and the other guard lay on the ground as a dismount stone. Li Tai stepped on the guard's wide back and got out of the carriage steadily. He had changed into a set of clothes, no longer the prince's clothing, but was dressed in an ordinary student, with a patch on the conspicuous front.
The guard got up and said, "Your Highness, let's wait for your guard to come in. If something happens..."
"What accident can happen to the Zhulu Marquis Mansion? I am here to become a disciple today. What are you next to you? No need to say much, leave a person waiting nearby, and the others take a carriage and find a secluded place to hide, so that no one can find someone to find a discovery."
The guard had no choice but to agree. The guard took a bag from the carriage and wanted to tie Li Tai to his body, but an embarrassing scene appeared. The bag cloth was smaller and measured Li Tai for a while, but it was impossible to tie it at all. There was no way, Li Tai had to hold the bag in his arms and walked up to the steps of Zhulu Marquis Mansion step by step.
Looking back at the guards hiding, Li Tai raised his hand and knocked on the door knocker twice.
The doorman Zhao Youcai opened the door and saw a little fat man standing at the door, holding a silk bag in his arms and a linen patch on his brocade clothes. He suddenly felt a little confused.
"I wonder... what happened to this young master when he came to Zhulu Marquis' Mansion?"
Li Tai squeezed his little eyes hard, sobbed, and said the excuse he had thought along the way: "Uncle, you admit it wrong, I... I am not a young master! I am just an ordinary poor student and will take the imperial examination next year. Alas, my family is poor, and my father sells his land and finally raises tuition for me. However, I am stupid in my qualifications. Although I study hard, I have never been able to get the key points. Today, I saw the four algorithms of the Marquis in the Tang Dynasty Daily, which was shocking. The more I calculate the more exquisite it becomes, I have prepared a special lesson. I want to take the Marquis as my teacher and learn the arithmetic method. If I can be taught, I will be able to pass the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, and it will not be useless to sell my father to support me in my studies..."
The more Li Tai said, the more sad he became. He actually believed the story he made up, and tears fell down. Zhao Youcai was once a scholar. When he heard Li Tai said these words, he remembered the hardships of studying and felt pity in his heart. Although he felt that his clothes were a little strange, he saw that he was only eleven or twelve years old at most and no one followed him, so he believed his words. What kind of trouble can a child who came to become a disciple?
The Marquis accepted it as soon as they were willing to accept it, but they were unwilling to accept it. There were also Marquis who came to send it. He was the gatekeeper, and he couldn't help others, so he could still do it. Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai said to Li Tai: "Uncle, I am just a gatekeeper in the Marquis' Mansion. I can't help you. The Marquis is not in the mansion now. If you are willing to wait, come in and wait for a while. The Marquis will almost come back at noon. You will become a disciple again. Accepting disciples is a big deal. Whether the Marquis accepts you depends on your luck. If it is confiscated, don't be discouraged and don't give up your studies..."
As he said that, the concierge made way and let Li Tai come in. Li Tai wiped his tears and thanked him with gratitude. He followed the concierge to the house where he usually lives, waiting for Li Mu to return.
Li Mu and his party came to the horse farm. Before they could get close, they heard the crowds of people in front of them and cheered endlessly. When they approached, they found that someone was performing equestrians in the horse farm. They saw a knight holding the saddle, swaying back and forth, either hiding the belly of the horse or standing on the back of the horse, as if performing acrobatics. The audience sitting scattered in the horse farm were excited and cheering loudly.
Cheng Yaojin said: "This is to follow your instructions from your nephew, let these knights perform equestrians one after another every day. At first, few people watched it, but in recent days, there have been more people. Now there are still fewer people. After a while, when Tian Jiasanro appears, there will be more people."
"Tian Jia Saburo?"
Cheng Yaojin nodded and said, "The Tian family is a tenant of my Cheng family. His three sons are my personal soldiers. Sanlang's equestrian skills are superb and better than the Turks. At present, he seems to be the most powerful equestrian among all the knights." Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help asking, "Nephew, I really don't understand, what's the use of you to arrange these? If you want to gather popularity, just publish a few more advertisements in the Tang Dynasty Daily?"
"Have you heard it because you heard it because you were false, and you saw it because you were true?"
Cheng Yaojin glared and said, "Of course I have heard of it! Don't treat me, Cheng as an illiterate reckless man!"
Li Mu said: "Take Saburo Tian's family as an example, his horse is superb. He will be able to control the same horse. The results will be better than those of ordinary knights. If he comes to the next game, how will people place bets?"
Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and said, "If it were me, I would naturally place the horses he drove."
"That's it, this is what I want. Only when people see his equestrianism will they believe that he can make the horse run faster. If I just said in the Tang Dynasty Daily that the Tian family Saburo's equestrian is superb, how many people would believe it?"
Cheng Yaojinshen agreed, nodded, and said, "You make sense. OK, I won't ask anymore. Anyway, I have already arranged everything you want me to arrange."
The two of them walked forward, and Cheng Qiandian ran over: "I have met the Duke, and the marquis. The plaque given by the emperor has been hung. Please ask the Duke to see if there is anything wrong with it."
Li Mu looked up and saw three big words "Happyland" hanging at the entrance of the horse farm. This time it was not "Flying White" but changed to cursive script. The three words were swung out and were majestic, especially the "horse" in the middle, which was like a galloping horse, and appeared on the paper.
