It was still early, so Li Sui'an immediately went home and picked up two jars of old wine.
I took a carriage and, accompanied by Chen Zhonghe, came to the outer city and found Li Ping'an's home.
The inner city and the outer city are completely different worlds.
Li Sui'an generally would not wander around the outer city unless necessary.
There are many gangs here, and small traders who receive various protection fees doubt their lives, and the government cannot control them.
I thought Li Ping'an's knife-making workshop was just a small workshop.
When we arrived at the boundary, we discovered that it was a village in the city covering a vast area.
Behind the village, there is a towering chimney rising straight into the sky, black smoke billowing up, and the faint sound of rhythmic gold and iron knocking can be heard.
Let Chen Zhonghe wait in the carriage while Li Sui'an goes in alone.
Unlike other weapons shops that are filled with swords, guns, swords, halberds and other cold weapons, this weapons shop called Lianfeng Hao only sells knives.
All kinds of long knives are hung on the wall, a dazzling array of things.
As soon as I entered the door, it felt like a cold knife was coming towards my face, and the continuous hammering sound of hammers could be heard from the backyard from time to time.
There was faint smoke from burning coal and the smell of sulfur.
"The customer can just take a look at whatever knife he wants to buy."
A man who was maintaining the long knife said hello and ignored him.
Li Sui'an just happened to look around.
Holding a simple knife in the palm of your hand, it is cold and weighs more than ten kilograms. Most people would have difficulty holding it, let alone dancing. I don’t know what kind of material it is made of. There are dots of lines on the blade, which is very beautiful.
There is no man who does not love swords.
Li Sui'an's martial arts skills are only half-measured. If he is really in danger, the difference between having a knife and not having a knife will be huge. He really wants to buy one for self-defense.
But the life-saving weapon Huang Henian mentioned should be that he should buy a knife and carry it with him. He has not learned any sword skills.
"Is there a better magic weapon?"
The waiter thought that he disliked the quality of the long sword, so he explained: "The guest was joking, magic weapons of the highest level are hard to come by. Although the sword of our Lianfeng Hao does not reach the level of magic weapon, at worst it is forged by hundreds of steel refiners.
The quality of weapons is well-known far and wide. Even the Lantern Division ordered the Night Sword from our Lianfeng..."
Li Sui'an interrupted him and said, "Can you invite Li Ping'an to come out?"
"Ah, you are looking for our young master, may I ask who the guest is?"
"I am his senior brother."
The clerk was stunned, remembering that his young master seemed to have joined a martial arts school in the inner city.
Seeing that Li Sui'an was well-dressed and fair-skinned, and looked like a pampered person, he honestly promised, "Guest, please wait a moment, I will go and invite the young master."
A moment later, a burly young man wearing only a short coat walked out of the backyard. It was Li Ping'an.
"Hahaha, I didn't believe it when I heard that a senior brother was coming to look for me. I didn't expect that it was senior brother Li who came here in great numbers. I was so far away to welcome him."
Li Ping'an is just over 1.8 meters tall, half a head shorter than Li Sui'an, but his upper body is terrifyingly strong. His arms are almost as thick as Li Sui'an's thighs, and he looks like a small Hulk.
Li Sui'an looked at this guy with envy, who even exposed his breasts and eight-pack abs on a snowy day, and said with a smile: "I am the one who disturbed my junior fellow apprentice by waiting for the Three Treasures Hall to do his homework."
"Where is the Qing Xiu? I thought that my senior brother disliked the chaos here. Senior brother, please come inside. In the past, my senior brother always invited me to drink. Today, it is rare for my senior brother to come to my place. I will have a good drink soon."
He had already seen the two jars of aged wine that Li Sui'an was carrying, "Come here, junior brother, what else should you bring."
"Senior brother, you are really... ugh!"
He neatly stepped forward to help carry the wine.
Arriving at the inner courtyard, the true appearance of this weapons shop was immediately revealed.
It can be seen that there were hundreds of big men, shirtless even in the freezing and snowy weather, forging weapons around the stoves.
The red-hot coals in the stove emit blazing heat, which also dispels the chill outside.
These hundreds of strong men are also quite a force.
He noticed that in a corner, there were several people practicing sword practice.
"It's such a big scale." Li Sui'an sighed.
Li Ping'an said slightly proudly: "What is this!"
"This place is just a branch of Lianfeng in the city. There is a fire pit next to the Xinghuo Mine, which is a good place for making knives. Hundreds of thousands of people are making knives together, and the sound of knocking can be heard. But now
During the snow season, it was not very safe outside, so the mines stopped and most people moved back to the city."
Li Sui'an said: "I have heard of the name of Xinghuo Mine for a long time, but I have never seen it."
He had heard that an extremely rare ore, star iron, was produced there.
As a result, fights often occurred.
"Senior Brother, you must go and take a look if you have the chance. We, Lianfeng, often fight with other forces over the territory of the mining area. The battles involving thousands of people are no less than a war. It's so lively."
“I’ll definitely go if I have the chance.”
When he came to a simple living room, before even finishing a cup of tea, Li Ping'an went straight to ask: "Senior brother, I have already ordered the kitchen to prepare a few hard dishes. And with your drunken spring breeze, what are you going to do later?"
You won’t come home until you’re drunk.”
Li Sui'an said: "Don't be busy yet. I came here specifically to pay a visit to Master Li."
"Visiting my father?" Li Ping'an was very surprised.
"Who wants to visit me?"
A loud bell-like sound came from outside the door, and then a bearded old man walked in.
His physique is exactly the same as Li Pingan's, but he is a head shorter than Li Pingan.
When Li Pingan was drinking before, he seemed to have boasted that he was the tallest in the family. It seemed possible.
Li Sui'an quickly saluted, "Li Sui'an has met Master Li."
"Dad, Senior Brother Li and I are both disciples of Master Huang. In Guishou Hall, Senior Brother Li also took good care of me and often invited me to drink."
The old man looked at the two jars of wine on the table. The trademark of Zui Chunfeng was particularly obvious, "The senior who invited me to drink is the one who sells Zui Chunfeng in Ruyi Fang, right?"
Li Ping'an said carelessly: "Dad, how many people dare to invite me to drink. In other words, my senior brother Li is generous, so I just drink enough wine at home."
Li Sui'an smiled awkwardly.
I have had drinks with Li Ping'an several times. He has a good capacity for drinking, but his wine quality is poor. He always likes to persuade people to drink. He can't leave the game without getting drunk.
I originally thought it was just a matter of good wine, but now that I saw his father, I realized it was a genetic factor.
The old man's face suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, I am Li Wentian, the head of this Lianfeng restaurant. My nephew can come as soon as he comes, why bother spending money? Instruct the kitchen to prepare a few more side dishes, and they will be prepared today.
My dear nephew, drink to your heart’s content and you won’t be allowed to return until you’re drunk!”
Oops~
Father and son are exactly the same.
Li Sui'an was not willing to fight with a drunkard, so he immediately explained his purpose: "Uncle Li, there has been a lot of peace in the inner city recently. Master Huang is worried that I will not be able to protect myself if something happens to me. He recommended me to come to my uncle to find a magic weapon that can protect myself and save my life."
Weapons."
Li Ping'an asked worriedly: "Is the inner city unsafe? I heard today that the inner city was attacked by evil spirits. Is senior brother's Ruyifang okay?"
"It's okay, but the place where the accident occurred is not far from Ruyifang."
Li Wentian looked him up and down, "Mr. Huang asked you to come...are you using it for yourself, or are you buying it for someone else?"
"For my own use, of course."
"With your level of talent, it is indeed difficult to make a choice."
He saw at a glance that Li Sui'an was insincere, and thought for a while and said, "Since Mr. Huang asked you to come, I can rest assured. Old man, go and move the small wooden box in the box in my bedroom."
"Okay, Dad."
Li Ping'an responded, and after a moment he walked out holding an exquisite wooden box in his hands.
Put it on the table and open the wooden box.
Li Sui'an turned his head and glanced casually, his pupils shrinking sharply.
