When Li Yunxing said this, everyone present looked at each other in shock.

Who is Chen Jinyan? I seem to have never heard of him.

Only the little blacksmith stood up angrily, and just then he saw in the crowd that Li Yunxing was different from everyone else.

Everyone else came to see the knife, but he kept his eyes on himself.

Unexpectedly, the other party really came for me.

Chen Jinyan wanted to admit defeat today, expose the matter, and continue to lurk in Jiangling City to find out the news.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunxing's appearance completely disrupted his plan, "Who are you, and why do you need to stand up for me?"

Li Yunxing smiled, and sure enough, his guess was right.

Lian Zhan had heard that Chen Jinyan was working as a blacksmith in Jingzhou, so he thought of trying his luck.

But when Lian Jirou saw Chen Jinyan, the subtle change in her expression let him know that she had really met him.

However, Chen Jinyan, who was highly skilled in martial arts, did not expect that he would be willing to be stepped on by Lu Tieru. It was really beyond his expectation.

"It doesn't matter who I am. But..."

Before Li Yunxing finished speaking, the other party shouted loudly, and the wooden stick went straight to Li Yunxing's head.

In the blink of an eye, the man fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Unexpectedly, this apprentice could reach out so powerfully that people around him exclaimed in surprise.

Li Yunxing was filming but still remained motionless. Sure enough, he was right. Chen Jinyan is a good material.

It just needs to be "knocked" to turn it into hundreds of steel.

When the guards of the Lu family saw that they were almost killed, they were a little scared. The old blacksmith even took out a hoe from his shop and tried to fight them, "Whoever dares to step even half a step into my shop today, I will smash him!"

The people around him retreated one after another, and Lu Tieru stopped entangled and led everyone away.

Chen Jinyan hurriedly walked over to support the old blacksmith. The two had only known each other for a few months, but they treated him as if they were his own children. Chen Jinyan did not want to cause trouble to him unless necessary.

At this time, Li Yunxing walked up to Chen Jinyan and looked into his eyes.

"I have the ability to help you find out your father's case."

"How's it going? Are you interested in returning to the capital together?"

Chen Jinyan pursed his lips and hesitated.

He is not a reckless man who does not want to repay his kindness, but he does not believe in Li Yunxing.

Li Yunxing seemed to have guessed what he was worried about, so he added: "A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time? Do you want to be a poor blacksmith who is slaughtered by others? If you can be in a high position, then

Everything you want to know and get will become easier.”

Hearing this, Chen Jinyan's heart trembled, "What does my business have to do with you?"

"It has nothing to do with me. But if I want to win you over, don't I have to give some conditions?" Li Yunxing said frankly.

Compared with Chen Jinyan's skills, what Li Yunxing cares about more is his knife forging skills.

Lu Tieru just used the lowest method, and the two of them seemed to be using the same jujube wood.

In fact, Lu Tieru cleverly used a trick. The side he chopped first had been roasted with fire in advance, and there were slight burnt marks on the bottom. The other side Chen Jinyan chopped had been smeared with pigskin glue. Although it looked ordinary, it was

In fact, the resilience is much stronger.

So when the two of them picked up the jujube wood and carried it to the anvil, one was very relaxed, while the other was sweating profusely.

It is precisely because the weights of the two ends are unequal that the endings are completely different.

Such a trick is so clumsy that anyone with a little bit of forging skills can easily see through it.

Chen Jinyan was obviously proficient in this business, so he saw it but did not expose it. In fact, he hoped to lose the bet and let Lu Tieru let him live.

However, Lu Tieru did not let him go so easily. He had long wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Chen Jinyan, a stumbling block. If Li Yunxing had not appeared, he would probably have found an opportunity to kill him.

"Winning me over? I won't have anything to do with anyone in the court. You'd better hire someone else, Gao Ming!" Chen Jinyan refused without hesitation.

His father died in a party dispute back then. Although the truth has not been found out over the years, he has also come into contact with some fringe things, so he has no good impression of the court affairs at all.

Li Yunxing also expected that he would refuse, so his expression did not change.

"Don't say too much about anything, otherwise, it's easy to get slapped in the face." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Chen Jinyan was left standing alone on the spot.

Before leaving, Li Yunxing did not forget to pocket the fan and the winning banknotes from the person who had just opened the gambling game.

"Sir, this fan of yours is much more valuable than the dozens of taels of silver I have, so why bother..." The boss was about to cry without tears.

"That won't work. Who would think it's too much money?"

After saying that, Li Yunxing Shi Ran left the shop.

He made enough money tonight.

As for Chen Jinyan, he didn't bother to pay attention.

"Your Highness, where are we going now?" Lian Jirou followed behind and was shocked by Li Yunxing's operation.

I thought he was going to persuade Chen Jinyan, but he gave up.

I thought His Highness the Prince was just gambling for fun, but I didn't expect to take away all the other party's more than ten taels of silver.

You can always get many surprises from Li Yunxing and see his cheeky side.

His Royal Highness is always enigmatic, but he never thought he could be so shameless...

"I heard that there is a very good snack shop in the east of the city. I will take you to try it."

Li Yunxing shook the money bag in his hand as he spoke, smiling very cunningly.

Lian Jirou: "..."

She suddenly discovered that His Highness the Crown Prince was really getting better and better as he lived. Why did he become a money addict?

When I arrived in the east part of the city, I discovered that this dim sum shop was really famous. The afternoon market had just opened and there was already a long queue.

Li Yunxing had always hated queuing, so he gave the little beggar ten coppers and asked him to queue on his behalf. Li Yunxing took Lian Jirou to the tea shop next door to rest.

Fortunately, the teahouse is quite quiet, and the second floor is a good seat where only distinguished guests can sit. As soon as the two sat down, Lian Jirou was trying to persuade the prince not to go through such twists and turns, and to focus on business first.

He saw that Li Yunxing's eyes were not on him, but looking steadily out the window.

"Master?" Lian Jirou called out tentatively.

Li Yunxing did not reply, but looked out the window with interest.

Lian Jirou stood up slightly, followed Li Yunxing's gaze and looked out the window.

It turned out that at the end of this street was Jiangling's Sheriff's Mansion, and Li Yunxing was observing the people coming and going at the Sheriff's Mansion.

There were several carriages parked outside the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, somewhat like those of wealthy businessmen or officials, but the servants inside were all dressed simply, and they did not look like they belonged to a wealthy family.
