After hearing the question, Song Rui, the shopkeeper on the sixth floor, hurriedly came forward and looked down at the account books on the table.
"I received this item a month ago." Pointing to one of the columns on the last page, the account book only had a brief description of the items in stock, including size, material, and storage time, but there was no record of their origins.
After a brief moment of pondering the memories, Song Rui said, "Our Taiping Inn never asks about the identity of the seller or the provenance of the items, so we did not ask about the origins of those people that day, but I remember clearly that they came in the afternoon.
There are more than ten people traveling with us, driving two carriages. Although these people are all wearing casual clothes, it is not difficult to find from their words and demeanor that they should all be school captain soldiers."
Song Rui paused for a moment before continuing, "The accents of these ten people are very mixed. Obviously they are not from the same state or county, but several of them speak with Qinzhou accent. Furthermore, those who were carrying silver coins
At that time, the leader was scolding and urging everyone to move faster, but he said that it was already getting late, and before leaving the city, we had to go to the Yanbin Building to buy liquor for General Yang."
As the shopkeeper on the sixth floor of the Taiping Inn, Song Rui naturally has an extraordinary mind. He guessed that he might know the owner of this iron rod, but he did not ask too much, but tried his best to give him clues, "I heard their tone of voice, it seems that
This is not the first time I went to Yanbinlou to purchase liquor. Yanbinlou should know a lot about them. By the way, four people worked together to carry this thing up that day. When they left, one of them said from outside the door.
One sentence, 'How could that reckless man have so much strength to make such a heavy weapon?'"
Song Rui finished telling everything he knew about the situation, then bowed and backed away without saying a word.
He picked up the account book on the table and raised his hand, "Open the warehouse, I want to see this stick."
Song Rui immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and then sent someone to the fifth floor to call Song Xi, the shopkeeper on the fifth floor. Taiping Inn has strict rules. In order to prevent guards from stealing and to avoid suspicion, the keys to all warehouses are held by two people respectively. If you want to open the warehouse, you must
Two people were present.
While Song Rui and others were preparing to open the warehouse, they looked at Datou and said, "You are from the north and are familiar with the situation in the north. Do you know if Qingyang is in Qinzhou?"
"Yes," Datou nodded, "Qingyang is an important garrison town in Qinzhou, and the commander in chief is Qingyang Jiedushi Yang Shouxin."
No further questions were asked. Although he had read and read before
He had read a lot of official documents and files, but he was not familiar with the specific locations of many place names in the Tang Dynasty. However, he was deeply impressed by Qingyang, because the two million taels of silver that Ni Zhuo had shipped to the Western Regions had been transported to Qingyang.
Robbed by Yang Shouxin.
"Is Qingyang a chokepoint that runs from east to west?" he asked again.
"Yes." Big Head nodded.
Yu Yi on the side added, "Qingyang not only runs through the east and west, but also connects the north and the south. Merchants from the Western Regions from the east and horse traders from the south must pass through Qingyang if they want to come to Chang'an."
Hearing the conversation between the two, he started to think twice. Batulu was probably captured by Yang Shouxin on his way south. He had previously sent his boss to the desert to search for Batulu, but in the end he knew nothing about it. According to the time
It is inferred that when Datou rushed to Mobei, Batulu had already started to move south.
"How far is Qingyang from Chang'an?" asked.
Datou knew that Yu Yi knew more details than he did, so he didn't answer. After Yu Yi pondered for a while, he said, "It's not close. When it's 1,500 miles away, even if the horse is whipping, it will take the right time."
At this time, Song Rui and Song Xi had already opened the warehouse and walked into the warehouse with the four of them. Under the leadership of Song Rui, they found the iron bar placed in the bottom wooden box in the huge warehouse.
After a quick glance, he confirmed that this object was Batulu's weapon.
Song Rui said, "Bin iron is tempered and purified from black iron. It is an excellent quality for making weapons. It is precisely because we know this that we accepted this item, which is worth thirty thousand taels of silver."
After nodding, he said to Datou and the others, "Look around, the weapons here are not ordinary. If you like them, just take them away."
After saying that, he handed the account book to Song Rui, "You can directly deduct the weapons we took away from your account."
"Yes, yes," Song Rui nodded repeatedly, then smiled at Datou and the others and said, "Four adults, there are more than 80 weapons of various types on the sixth floor. The boss has already spoken, so you can choose as you like."
Seeing that all the weapons were placed in boxes, he casually said, "You are good at using them."
What kind of weapon, tell Shopkeeper Song."
Yu Sheng, who has a cheerful nature, was the first to speak, "Do you have a good knife?"
"There is a pre-Qin Longwei sword that was originally owned by Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an. However, this sword is a men's weapon. It is quite heavy and contains hidden violence." Song Rui said.
Song Xi on the side answered, "Sir, I remember there are several long knives in the warehouse on the fifth floor. I will go down and find them right away."
"Stop looking for it," he waved his hand to Song Xi, then turned to Song Rui and said, "Give me the Dragon Power."
When Song Rui nodded in response, he said to Yu Yi, "I have a Hanyue Sword over there. It was made by Mrs. Xu, a famous swordsmith in the Spring and Autumn Period. It has a thin blade and is light, and is most suitable for you. I give it to you."
Hearing the words, Yu Yi was very frightened and waved her hands repeatedly. During the martial arts competition, she was also watching from the sidelines. She had seen Hanyue Sword used during the competition and directly cut off the seven-star sword passed down by Lu Ting'an of Shenjian Villa.
Not long after, Song Rui found and presented the wooden box containing Longwei, put it on the table, pointed at the big head and said to Song Rui and Song Xi, "He is good at using short knives and daggers.
A fine sword or dagger?"
"Yes," Song Rui turned and walked towards the wooden frame on the west side, "You must like this thing."
Hearing Song Rui's confidence, everyone was curious. They saw Song Rui bring a wooden box from the wooden shelf on the west side. These wooden boxes are used by Taiping Inn to store various things. They are only made of ordinary wood, but the storage inside
The thing was unusual. After opening it, it turned out to be a strange shield one foot square.
The shield is round, in the style of Tai Chi, integrated into one body but divided into yin and yang. After being split, there are two semi-circular scimitars, one black and one white. When the two are combined into one, it becomes a small shield.
Song Rui is a businessman, and what he is best at is explaining and praising. According to him, this object is called the Yin and Yang Wheel, which is a relic of the ancient times. This object has three magical features. First, it can be split into a knife and combined into a shield.
You can attack and defend.
Second, the object has a weird shape. It has no handle and is difficult to hold. However, there are buckles under the white round eye in the black knife and the black round eye in the white knife, which can be stuck on the wrist. When using it,
There is no need to hold it with five fingers. If the buckles are stuck on both wrists, they become two semi-circular scimitars. If they are stuck on the same wrist, it becomes a small shield with a sharp outer edge.
The third magical thing is that if you put a white knife into a black round eye, or a black knife into a white round eye, the blade will rotate very quickly and cut by itself.
Compared to Datou's excitement and excitement, he seemed much calmer, because he had seen similar things before. Takeda Mayumi's Tiangang flying knife can also be combined at will, and the Tiangang flying knife can also fly back on its own after being released, regardless of the combination change.
The power is still higher than these two yin and yang swords.
Song Rui has done a lot of business and has become accustomed to it. At the end of the sentence, he directly quoted the price out of habit, "Such a world-famous, ancient and unparalleled artifact, five hundred thousand taels is not expensive, right?"
"Ah?!" Big Head's eyes widened.
While he was worried about Batulu, he had no time to listen to Song Rui's sales, so he closed the wooden box and stuffed it into Datou with his backhand, then looked at Yang Kai aside, "What kind of weapon do you like?"
"I'm not good at using weapons." Yang Kai shook his head.
"You must always have one when necessary," he said. "Sword. The sword is the first of all weapons."
Song Rui, who had impatiently closed the wooden box of the Yin and Yang swords before, knew that his boastful talk had aroused his disgust. Hearing this, he nodded hurriedly and answered, "Ou Yezi's work cloth is the treasure of the Taiping Inn."
"Get it." He waved his hand.
After Song Rui turned around and left, he looked at Shi Xuanming aside, "Master, what kind of weapons are you good at?"
"Ah? What?" Shi Xuanming asked in confusion.
Seeing that he was distracted, he could only repeat what he said before. In the past few days, Shi Xuanming had gone out to feel the suffering and joy of the world. He didn't know whether he had some insights or was troubled. He was always distracted and absent-minded.
"It's up to you, I'm used to using all kinds of weapons." Shi Xuanming's answer was also absent-minded.
"Are there any hidden weapons?" He looked at Song Xi.
Hearing what he said, Shi Xuanming knew that he was speaking sarcastically and hurriedly said, "Do you have any long weapons?"
At this time, Song Rui had already taken back the wooden box containing the Gongbu sword. Hearing Shi Xuanming's words, he immediately answered, "There is a spear, but..."
