Li Ye came to Dongshi alone. He had five days to go before the expedition. He needed to buy some things.
The goods in the East Market are generally high-end and expensive. It is far less down-to-earth than the West Market, and it is not as lively as the West Market. The flow of people is not large. Compared with the crowds of people in the West Market, the East Market even seems a bit deserted, with many shops.
There are no guests in sight.
But the low flow of people does not mean that the business in Dongshi is not good. Many shops deliver goods to their door. For example, if a family member of a powerful family wants to make clothes, the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop will bring the shopkeeper to deliver silk and satin to the door for the family member to choose.
The same goes for jewelry. The wealthy and powerful people basically don’t go to stores, they all come to stores.
Li Ye came to the weapons shop, which was a street selling weapons. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, heavy weapons and crossbows were not allowed to be equipped by civilians. Other swords, bows, arrows and various types of armor were allowed to be sold publicly.
Swords, in particular, are a must-wear item for men. Except for low-class people and small businessmen who rarely wear swords, the rest of the middle class and students all wear swords.
Therefore, the weapons shops in the weapons workshop mainly sell swords.
"Master Li!"
Li Ye suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he saw a man who looked like a servant running up to Li Ye and saluted: "My master has invited Mr. Ye!"
"Who is your master?"
"Prince of Hanzhong County!"
The servant pointed to the second floor of a restaurant opposite.
Li Ye looked towards the restaurant and saw someone waving to him from the window. It was Li Yu, King of Hanzhong.
Li Ye smiled and nodded, "I'll go right away!"
He followed his servant to the restaurant, and when he came to the window on the second floor, he saw Li Yu, and there was another person sitting next to him. This person was slightly shorter, with dark skin and an unattractive appearance.
Li Ye quickly stepped forward and said impolitely: "My lord, long time no see!"
Li Yu smiled slightly and said, "I said I wanted to find you yesterday, and you showed up."
Li Yu pointed to the person next to him and smiled: "Let me introduce you to you. This is the leader of the Anxi polo team. Feng Changqing, the judge of Anxi Jiedu, have you heard about it?"
How could Li Ye not know about Feng Changqing, later the governor of Anxi?
Li Ye hurriedly greeted him and said, "I have admired the title of General for a long time!"
Feng Changqing smiled and said: "I am the famous Flying Shark who has been admired for a long time. We will meet on the polo field soon."
"Please give me some advice, General Feng!"
Li Yu asked Li Ye to sit down, and he added a few more drinks and dishes. After a while, he served a pot of wine first.
Li Ye grabbed the jug and filled a cup for Li Yu and a cup for Feng Changqing.
"I'll toast the prince and general Feng first!"
"Okay! Drink this cup first."
The three of them drank it all in one gulp. Feng Changqing grabbed the wine bottle and filled it for the three of them.
"Master Li, are you here to buy weapons?"
Li Ye nodded, "I will join the army in the northern expedition to Shuofang in a few days, and I want to find some flying knives."
"That's easy. Young Master will go to the weapons shop diagonally across the street later. That's my shop. If you want anything, just tell the shopkeeper."
Feng Changqing said in surprise: "Young Master is so young, do you want to go on an expedition?"
Li Ye said with a smile: "I heard that Gao Jiedushi also followed his father on the expedition at the age of fourteen or fifteen. He was appointed as a school captain at the age of fifteen, and was made a general at the age of twenty. With pearls first, it shouldn't be strange to be made a general!"
Feng Changqing sighed slightly, "The waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and those who come after you are to be feared!"
Feng Changqing had something important to do, so he filed a complaint and hurriedly went.
At this time, there were only two people at the wine table, Li Ye and Li Yu.
Li Yu seized this opportunity and asked in a low voice: "When my master became immortal, were you by his side?"
Li Ye nodded, he guessed that Li Yu came to him to ask about Feilong.
"Can you tell me what Master said at the end?"
Li Yu looked at Li Ye expectantly. Master had gone into seclusion after giving instructions to everyone a month ago. Unexpectedly, Master finally emerged in Wutingchuan.
What surprised Li Yu even more was that the person who accompanied his master in the end was actually the flying shark Li Ye.
He really couldn't figure out why Li Ye was the one who accompanied his master in the end?
Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "The real man always said that the secret of heaven should not be leaked, and said that I would naturally know it in the future. Finally, he said that he was Wutingchuan, and he wanted to return his soul to his hometown. Finally, the ashes were scattered into Wutingchuan. The prince had time to go to Wutingchuan to pay homage.
Just give it a try!”
Li Yu's eyes dimmed, and he sighed for a while: "I did not participate in the spring hunt because of my busy schedule. I didn't expect that this would be the pain of my life, not being able to see my master for the last time."
Li Ye asked curiously: "I met Taoist Master Mingsong two days ago. Does the prince know him?"
Li Yu nodded, "My master has more than twenty disciples, but there are only six real disciples. The others are all registered disciples. Senior Brother Mingsong and I are both one of the six, and Senior Brother Mingsong is the convener."
"Falcon?"
"He is not, he is just a registered disciple."
Li Ye thought for a while and asked: "How to distinguish between real disciples and registered disciples?"
Li Yu took out a small gold medal with a flying swallow engraved on it, and said to Li Ye: "Master is the flying swallow jade medal, the six of us are flying swallow gold medals, and the named disciples are flying swallow silver medals. If the wise brother gets the jade medal,
, then you are the heir to the master and can order us to do anything."
Only then did Li Ye realize the true intention of Master Feilong in leaving the jade tablet to him. This jade tablet was not only a token of a secret room, but also represented huge human resources.
Li Ye's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something, and asked tentatively: "What about Feng Changqing?"
Li Yu shook his head, "Feng Changqing is not, but Gao Xianzhi is one of the six!"
Li Ye didn't take out the jade plaque in the end because the time was not yet ripe.
After breaking up with Li Yu, Li Ye immediately came to the Wugong Weapon Shop, which was recommended to him by Li Yu and was also the store opened by Li Yu.
Li Ye mainly wanted to buy a throwing knife. The military standard dagger was too big for him, which was inconvenient and not easy to use.
Li Ye tied the horse at the door, took off the horse bag and put it on his shoulders, and walked into the shop.
The shop lobby is very spacious, with three large tables in the middle. Dozens of swords and knives are placed on the tables, and the surrounding walls are covered with precious swords, bows and arrows.
At this time, a clerk came up to him and said with a smile: "Master, do you want to buy weapons?"
Li Ye nodded, "I want to customize some short blades. A friend recommended me to come to your home."
"Sir, wait a moment, I'll invite the shopkeeper here!"
The waiter rushed into the back room, and a middle-aged man came out in a moment. He was short, fat, and looked shrewd. He stepped forward and saluted with a smile on his face, "My surname is Zhou, and I am the shopkeeper of our store. If you have any needs, please just tell me."
I!"
Li Ye looked around and smiled: "There is nothing I want here."
Shopkeeper Zhou immediately heard Xian's elegance and said with a smile: "Please come to the inner hall to talk!"
Li Ye followed the shopkeeper to the inner hall. Shopkeeper Zhou asked him to sit down and asked the waiter to serve tea.
Li Ye put a name card given to him by Li Yu on the table and said with a smile: "Actually, it was the Prince of Hanzhong County who introduced me here!"
Shopkeeper Zhou suddenly understood and said quickly: "It turns out that he is a friend of the proprietor, so that will be easy. To be honest, sir, the shop has been open for more than 20 years and has accumulated a lot of good things. Except for heavy siege weapons, there are no other weapons."
We have them all, but the lobby area is limited and many weapons cannot be displayed. Master, tell me first what you want and see if I can find it ready-made."
Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "I want to see if there is a suitable flying knife!"
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said: "There are a lot of flying knives, and they are in the warehouse! Master, wait a moment, I will be here right away!"
