After Master Xuanhe's mood stabilized, Ye Gucheng began to talk with Master Xuanhe about casting swords for Ximen Chuixue.In fact, the two of them had nothing to talk about in terms of price and remuneration. The key point of the matter was still the piece of black iron that Ye Gucheng bought with a lot of money.

Ye Gucheng's feeling is correct, this piece of black iron is indeed the piece that was cast into Ximen Chuuxue's black sheath sword in his previous life, but the problem is that this piece of black iron is a bit...too big.According to Master Xuanhe's estimate, after he purified this piece of black iron, the black iron would weigh a full two hundred catties, enough to forge seven or eight good swords.

And this kind of black iron has special properties, once it starts to be purified, it must reach a certain degree of purity before it can be preserved for a long time.In other words, once you start casting swords, it will be fine for three to five years, and after a long time, these high-quality black irons will be wasted.Even though Baiyun City is rich and powerful and doesn't care about wasting more than 100 catties of black iron, Master Xuanhe can't see anyone wasting things like this.

Gold is easy to get, but the material that can be cast into a sword is too precious.For a swordsmith like Xuanhe, he may not be able to encounter a second piece of such good material in his entire life.Therefore, Master Xuanhe discussed with Ye Gucheng that he would stay in Baiyun City until all the black iron was forged into a magic weapon.

Master Xuanhe also said that he doesn't need money, and those weapons can all belong to Baiyun City, as long as he and his grandson are given a shelter.

What he said was pitiful, Baiyun City is really not bad for a place to live alone, and Ye Gu City is not bad for those yellow and white things.He is also a lover of swords, although Xuanhe doesn't use swords, but Ye Gucheng treats him leniently.Not agreeing to Xuanhe's request, Ye Gucheng only said, "Pay the remuneration separately, and give a three-entry house as a gift", and then invited Master Xuanhe to live in Baiyun City.

Ye Gucheng's move is actually protecting Xuanhe in a disguised form.After all, it will be a matter of time before he and Ximen Chuuxue become famous in the Jianghu. It doesn't matter if Xuanhe forges a sword for him or for Ximen Chuuxue, but if people know that the long sword in the hands of the two peerless swordsmen in the world was made by one person, What kind of situation Xuanhe will face is simply self-evident.

In the previous life, it was Ye Gucheng who covered up Xuanhe's forging of swords for him, and Ximen Chuuxue did the same, which allowed the little old man to live in peace.But in this life, the situation in the martial arts world and even the court has become more and more complicated. Xuanhe's daughter and son-in-law are facing disaster even if they are living a stable life at home, let alone this little old man who likes to wander around.Anyway, he is also a person who loves swords, Ye Gucheng can't bear to see him die unexpectedly.

Therefore, Ye Gucheng took this opportunity to allow Xuanhe to settle in Baiyun City, which can be regarded as saving his life in troubled times.

Xuanhe hesitated for a moment, but did not respond immediately.For people of a certain age, there is always a feeling of being unable to leave their homeland.What's more, Xuanhe seems to be wandering around these years, but in fact he never leaves the place where his daughter is buried.He naturally knows that Baiyun City is a paradise compared to Da'an, but his daughter...

"Grandfather, are there any coconuts in the South China Sea? It's the kind that the uncles at the docks said have sweet water in them!" Lu Xiaofeng scratched Xuanhe's white hair, very excited about going to the South China Sea.

Looking at the lively little grandson, Xuan He couldn't help clenching his fists.The dead are the greatest, but the living always have to live.His little grandson is still so young, without any ability to protect himself, and needs a stable environment to grow up.Taking ten thousand steps back, he has now reached such an age that he may go to see his wife and daughter one day. At that time, if he is in Baiyun City, his little Phoenix will not die of hunger no matter what. But if it's in Da'an... that's not necessarily the case.

Having made a decision in his heart, Xuan He hugged the little grandson tightly, but said to Ye Gucheng: "Then what, City Lord, don't dislike the little old man's thick skin, it is really difficult."

Ye Gucheng nodded and said, "Sir, it's okay to say."

Xuan He stroked his beard with his free hand, hesitated for a while and finally said: "Actually, don't look at me like this, I also have a decent sect."

Xuanhe's sword-casting skills are superb, and there are elements of acquired comprehension, but Ye Gucheng knows without thinking, to be able to temper such a unique skill, there must be a master's inheritance, so hearing Master Xuanhe say this, Ye Gucheng also I didn't find it strange.There was no superfluous look on his face, he just waited for Master Xuanhe's next words.

Now that Master Xuanhe said this, there is no need to be hypocritical anymore. He simply continued directly: "I studied under Lu Banmen. The contact with him has not been broken. These years, Luban's disciples have withered, and I have no apprentices, but my senior brother has taken in two children."

Sighing, Master Xuanhe continued: "In the final analysis, Lubanmen is just a group of craftsmen, and craftsmen always rely on their crafts to make a living. My senior brother went there at the beginning of the year, but the big apprentice has left the teacher, and only these The little apprentice has no one to take care of him, and his senior brother also went out to ask for a living, and he couldn't be contacted for a while. The child starved in the house for three days, and cried hoarsely while guarding my senior brother's body. I reported the letter, but I really don’t know how this child will survive.”

At this point, Ye Gucheng already understood what Xuanhe meant.He raised his hand and made a gesture, and then another little guard guard came out, looking at the two guards in front of him, Ye Gucheng ordered: "Go and clean up for the gentleman."

The two hidden guards made a "please" gesture to Xuanhe, and the three of them, together with Lu Xiaofeng, quickly went to Xuanhe's foothold in Shengjing.Now his poor nephew is still recovering from illness, and he doesn't like to talk much. The only pastime every day is to play around with the Linglong lock left by his master.

Master Xuanhe knew that it was the basic skill of their Luban school. When he first started, he had to fiddle with it for three full years before he could master it.And the young apprentice his senior brother took in should be extremely talented. He was able to unlock the Linglong Lock after just one year of entry, and now he can use small tools to modify the Linglong Lock by himself.

Such a talented child, it's a pity that he got started a little late.Master Xuanhe's attainments in organs are limited, otherwise he would not have found another way and started to forge swords.But his elder brother is a person with extraordinary talents, and now this young nephew is also a person of extraordinary talent, so Master Xuanhe sighs a little, if this child was born a few years earlier, he can be taught by his elder brother carefully, their Lu Banmen will be a child There is bound to be a shocking genius in the world.

It's a pity that this kid started late, and now he can only explore and study by himself according to the secret books left by Master Xuanhe's senior brother.But now he still can't find the eldest disciple of his senior brother, Xuanhe can't leave this child behind after all.Therefore, even if he had the audacity to speak to Ye Gucheng, he still had to bring one more person with him.

I'm ashamed to say it, maybe it's because the child was really starved to death in those three days. In short, this nephew of Master Xuanhe... really eats very well.But he is about the same age as Lu Xiaofeng, but his appetite is twice as much as Lu Xiaofeng's.This kid can be called "violent" every time he eats, and he looks like he will never stop until he vomits himself.

Bringing such a child to other people's Baiyun City to eat and drink for free...It's hard to avoid being a little embarrassed.

Baiyuncheng is rich and powerful, so of course Ye Gucheng would not talk to Xuanheji about such a trivial matter, so he asked his subordinates to tidy up Xuanhe's residence, and brought along things that Master Xuanhe thought were important and a few changes of clothes. If all other pots, pans, sheets and bedding were discarded, a group of people waited to stay near the pier overnight, and soon set foot on the big ship back to Baiyun City.

The weather is beautiful, Ye Gucheng and his party did not encounter any wind and rain during this journey.After half a month of sailing on the sea, Ye Gucheng and the others arrived in the South China Sea.

Ye Gucheng discovered that "being able to make friends" seemed to be Lu Xiaofeng's innate skill, and in just this month, Lu Xiaofeng was already familiar with all the hidden guards he brought.The child was born beautiful and sweet-mouthed, and he called "Uncle" and "Brother" one by one, coaxing those people to fish for him on the boat and pick up all kinds of shellfish when they were free. Three feet long lobster.

Lu Xiaofeng really likes to eat seafood. The huge lobster is not much smaller than him. After cutting it in half, it is steamed in a huge steamer and sprinkled with different seasonings. However, Lu Xiaofeng and his grandfather's nephew can eat together. Killing half of the lobster, if it wasn't for a few men who were afraid that the two children would be broken, their two sinful claws would probably reach out to the other half of the lobster.

Unexpectedly but reasonable, Ye Gucheng found out that Master Xuanhe's nephew was named Zhu Ting, and his nephew who disappeared was named Yue Qing.About Lubanmen, Ye Gucheng met him in the secret letter passed to him by his subordinates in the Central Plains in his previous life.

On that day, the case of counterfeit banknotes broke out at Datong Bank. Although the Hua family suffered the most losses, Baiyun City’s properties in the south of the Yangtze River and some ports also suffered losses. Therefore, Ye Gucheng was still concerned about this matter, and naturally sent spies to inquire about the news. , know the whole story of the matter.

At that time, Zhu Ting was already the "boss" Zhu Ting, and he was well-known in the Jianghu. The case involved his senior brother Yue Qing, and he was almost involved in it. He was reporting the matter to Ye Gucheng. When it happened, the spies of Baiyun City must have mentioned Lu Banmen to him.

Ye Gucheng's memory is very good, even after a lifetime, Ye Gucheng can still remember the details of that time clearly.Therefore, after listening to Master Xuanhe's description, Ye Gucheng suspected that the child he was talking about was Zhu Ting, and Zhu Ting's elder brother who was missing and could not be contacted should be Yue Qing.

It's unlikely that Yue Qing would be kidnapped and controlled now, but he likes to travel all over the world, so it's really hard to find him.

In Ye Gucheng's previous life, Lu Xiaofeng and Zhu Ting were friends, and Lu Xiaofeng was even willing to bear some infamy about men and women in order to protect Zhu Ting.Ye Gucheng did not expect that there is such a connection between these two people.

Zhu Ting is really talented in making hidden weapons. He was bored at sea. He "cheat" a few small hidden weapons from the hands of a few hidden guards. The hidden weapon in front.While everyone was surprised, they were a little worried that he had hurt themselves, but Master Xuan He glanced at it and said it was all right, and let him do it himself.

Experts look at the doorway, Master Xuanhe knows that what this child possesses is the most precious aura they have forged.In many cases, that little bit of whimsy is likely to turn decay into magic.

Talent is something that can be acquired but not sought after, Master Xuan He knows this better than anyone else.

Xuanhe was not idle either.That piece of black iron is too huge, Ye Gucheng needs to open up a special cabin for it to be placed.But Master Xuanhe simply ran to live in the house where the black iron was placed, and faced it day and night, studied its temper, and considered what kind of long sword to forge.

After all, Lu Xiaofeng and Zhu Ting are two children. Ye Gucheng already knows that they are three years old and five years old. They are really young. Although these two children have their own things to do every day, they also have This kind of trick can be played, but the two of them prefer to stay together in Ye Gucheng's cabin... squatting.

It’s not accurate to say squatting. It should be two small meatballs, one big and one small. They like to nest in the corner of Ye Gucheng’s cabin. They will play by themselves and won’t disturb Ye Gucheng, but they don’t want to. Leaving Ye Gucheng's cabin.

Since when did the city lord of his own city become so destined for children?The little brother of the dark guard vividly remembered that in Baiyun City, except for his little lady, all children under the age of five would cry when they saw their city lord.But now, these two children seem to be enjoying themselves?

A hidden guard finally couldn't hold back anymore, grabbed Lu Xiaofeng and Zhu Ting, squatted down in front of them, and asked suspiciously: "You two brats, why are you so fond of clinging to the city lord?"

Lu Xiaofeng blinked his eyes and kept laughing, trying to prevaricate this question.

But Zhu Ting was grabbed by the collar, but he still focused on the Jiulianhuan he was fiddling with in his hand. When someone asked him a question, he didn't think too much, and blurted out, "Cool."

The dark guard brother was shocked: I don't read much, so don't lie to me, it turns out that Bingshan face can really be used as an ice cube?Is it so amazing?I really want to give it a try, QAQ, but what a desperate idea...

The author has something to say: Santo brand central air conditioner emits natural pollution-free air-conditioning, you deserve it~

City Lord: It's getting cold, let the hidden guards be laid off.
