Yin Wuyou sat on the couch with his legs wrapped in a blanket.
She put her chin on her knees, and the smile on her face could no longer be suppressed.
"Haitang, did you hear that? He said he wanted to forge a high-quality weapon just for me."
Haitang rolled her eyes, My Princess, do you lack any high-quality weapons?
What you are using now are earth-grade weapons, okay? His Majesty is helping you customize heaven-grade weapons!
Lord Zhou——He can only forge yellow-grade weapons now. Is he worthy of you?
"You don't understand!"
Seeing that Haitang didn't respond, Yin Wuyou shook his head firmly.
"Haitang, help me dress up! I'm going to see my father! He is a weapon maker now. If other weapon makers have it, he must have it too!"
In the imperial study, Emperor Yuan Feng suddenly sneezed and then trembled.
He suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart, and his whole body felt a little cold.
……
Before being discovered by Emperor Yuan Feng, Zhou Shu secretly left the palace.
No, I didn’t steal or rob, why are you afraid of him?
Just because he is the emperor?
Even if he is the emperor, I am not afraid!
I didn’t steal the stone today from the palace!
Zhou Shu straightened his back. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little weak.
Although Yin Changhao had taken the stone refining today, he also gave him money, and the money was quite a lot...
Now, back...
"I have made meritorious service to the country, and it is natural for me to receive a heavenly stone."
Zhou Shu said to himself.
He put away the Heavenly Refining Stone. With this Heavenly Refining Stone, he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
To cast the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, he had already used up to 70% of the Heavenly Refining Stone sent by Mi Mansion, and also wasted a lot in the process. After all, it was his first time to cast a weapon by himself, and he still made some mistakes in the process.<
/p>
Although it is said that Mi Mansion has a vein of natural stone ore, after all, my surname is not Mi, so I can't always find others to ask for it.
As for buying, Zhou Shu doesn’t have that much spare money.
After becoming a marquis, no other benefits have been seen yet, and the cost has increased visibly.
The sudden increase in the number of servants in the house and the sudden increase in favors cost money.
Not to mention anything else, just to cast this Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, the total cost of all the materials consumed has exceeded a thousand taels of gold!
Originally, casting a yellow-grade weapon did not cost so much.
After all, the market price of Huangpin weapons is no more than this at most. Ordinary Huangpin weapons can even be purchased for a hundred taels of gold.
It's just that Zhou Shu cast it for the first time and wasted a lot of materials. Forget about other materials. One or two of the stones made today are worth a lot!
"That guy Sun Ping Ping is from the Moonlight clan, and his pocket is cleaner than his face. But even if he is not from the Moonlight clan and only relies on his salary, it will probably take him a hundred years to save a thousand taels of gold."
Zhou Shu muttered.
After coming out of the palace, he did not go back to his Youzhou Marquis, but went to Weiyuan Marquis.
Yin Wuyou woke up, and he didn't know if Sun Pingping was awake now.
Regardless of whether he wakes up or not, Zhou Shu plans to give him the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword first.
In any case, Sun Ping Ping was injured this time because he was trying to save him. The Seven-Star Longyuan Sword was originally promised to Sun Ping Ping.
Marquis Weiyuan is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties or fifties and is a little stout. He has a warm smile on his face and looks nothing like the fierce general who once dominated the battlefield.
He was very enthusiastic after seeing Zhou Shu and did not blame Zhou Shu for Sun Pingping's injury.
"Quinzi's injury is something that Lord Lao Zhou is worried about."
Weiyuan Hou was chatting with each other, feeling very emotional in his heart. The young man in front of him was a few years younger than his own boy, but he was already on the same level as him.
There is really no comparison between this person and others.
"Master Zhou, you and Zi Wen are sworn brothers. They are my concubine's brothers, and you are not an outsider..."
Marquis Weiyuan said.
Zhou Shu, slightly embarrassed, raised his hand to the beautiful lady beside Marquis Weiyuan who looked to be in her early thirties, "I have seen Madam——"
He really couldn't call her sister.
Calling me sister really feels like taking advantage of someone...
Mrs. Weiyuanhou, Mi Ziwen's sister, did not care about Zhou Shu's title.
"We are all family members, no need to be polite."
She smiled and said, "I've been naughty since he was young. As my uncle, you should teach him more. If he can be like you, then we, as a couple, don't have to worry."
Zhou Shu was not used to this kind of short talk between parents, so he responded with a slight embarrassment.
"Master Marquis, madam, I came here this time. Firstly, I want to see how Sun Pingping's injury is now, and secondly, I want to give him a sword."
Zhou Shuyan returned to preaching. If he kept talking nonsense with them, he might be able to talk until tomorrow.
"His injury has stabilized. He will be able to wake up after a while of recovery. This time he is a blessing in disguise. His martial arts cultivation has directly entered the sixth level. I originally thought that he would reach this point.
, it still takes a year and a half of training."
Wei Yuanhou said that he had high hopes for Sun Pingping, otherwise he would not have suppressed Sun Pingping for so many years, just to let Sun Pingping completely lay a solid foundation.
Now that it's time to harvest, the faster your cultivation level grows, the better.
"Send a sword? Brother, what are you——"
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou looked at the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword in Zhou Shu's hand.
"It's like this. Gong Gong asked me to customize a high-quality weapon before. I have been casting it all the time. Then something unexpected happened, as you know, madam. So it was not until today that this sword was cast."<
/p>
Zhou Shu explained, "Although Ping Ping hasn't woken up yet, I thought it would be better to send this sword over first. When he wakes up, he might be happier if he sees the sword as soon as possible."
"This kid, where did he get the money to buy a sword?"
Weiyuanhou muttered.
Madam Weiyuanhou glared at him, don’t you understand?
This is my wife’s natal brother taking care of his nephew!
Mrs. Weiyuanhou smiled and took the sword from Zhou Shu's hand, "It's really hard, brother. Isn't it fair that I didn't pay you? It cost you money, brother, and my sister won't be polite to you, but don't worry, my sister won't let you.
You’re at a disadvantage!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Mrs. Weiyuanhou took Zhou Shu's hand and patted it.
Zhou Shu glanced at Weiyuanhou subconsciously, and Weiyuanhou's expression was troubled and as steady as a mountain.
He calmly withdrew his hand. Although eldest sister, you look like International Chapter, this is really inappropriate...
"Brother, you were granted the title of Marquis before. My sister was taking care of fairness and didn't bother to give you a gift."
Mrs. Weiyuanhou didn't pay attention to Zhou Shu's little move and continued, "Well, my sister has a few storefronts in Dongshi and I'll give them to you."
Zhou Shu was shocked, you said you wouldn’t let me suffer, is that it?
She is truly worthy of being the eldest lady of the Mi family. She is too generous.
Dongshi is the commercial district of Chang'an City. The few storefronts there are worth thousands of dollars.
This wave seems to be a profit?
He looked at Madam Weiyuan Hou, who was somewhat similar to International Zhang, and felt a soul torture in his heart.
Is hard work still important?
When Zhou Shu came to Weiyuan Houfu, he brought a seven-star Longyuan sword.
When he left Weiyuan Houfu, the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword was gone, but in his arms, there was a stack of house deeds, pocket money given by Weiyuanhou's wife, and three thousand taels of silver notes...
"Is this the momentum everyone has? How many storefronts do you have for half a street?"
Zhou Shu felt a little numb.
Now Bibi, Yon Ziwen gave him pocket money when they first met, and also gave him a house. This is because of his family background.
Is this the family tradition of Mifu?
Don't tell me, having a brother like this is, in one word, cool!
Zhou Shu doesn't care about appearance or lack of appearance. What he cares about is the feeling of being taken seriously...
"No wonder they say that weapon forgers are rich. I just cast a high-quality weapon and I immediately became a bourgeois. How can those veteran weapon forgers be so rich?"
On the way back home, Zhou Shu muttered to himself.
In fact, other armorers do not make as much money as him.
For other weaponsmiths, it would take months at least, or even several years, to forge a high-quality weapon.
Even if a weapon can earn hundreds of taels of gold, it’s actually not much even if you divide it into every month.
Of course, compared to ordinary people, there are still a lot.
The industry of weapons casting division is a bit like three years if it does not open, and three years if it opens.
It took Zhou Shu only ten days and a half to forge a high-quality weapon. It is not unprecedented, but it is similar.
In fact, even for Zhou Shu himself, if he wanted to forge high-quality weapons, the time it would take would not be a fraction.
"Can we be a landlord in the future? Do you want to see my half of the street?"
Zhou Shu was talking to himself. Suddenly, he felt his eyes go dark, but there was a person standing in front of him, blocking the sunlight.
Before Zhou Shu could react, two figures appeared out of nowhere and blocked Zhou Shu behind him.
The costumes of the God Catchers on those two men let Zhou Shu know that they were the God Catchers secretly protecting him.
"Two great hunters, don't be nervous, I'm not an assassin!"
The man who suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Shu raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.
The two magicians did not relax and still held the embroidered spring knife tightly.
"Who are you!"
they shouted and asked.
"It's the general, General Meng who sent me here."
The man smiled bitterly.
"General Meng? Do you have evidence?"
The two gods stared at the man with burning eyes.
"Yes!"
The man said, "I have a letter here written by General Meng."
As he spoke, he slowly touched his arms, as if he was afraid of moving too fast and triggering an attack from the God Catcher.
After a while, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the two magicians.
"This letter was written by the General to the Marquis Youzhou. I was originally going to deliver the letter, but when I saw the Marquis Youzhou here, I wanted to come over and say hello. It was a misunderstanding. It was really a misunderstanding."
The man smiled bitterly.
"Brothers, don't be nervous."
Zhou Shu smiled and patted the shoulders of the two divine catchers, "Since they were sent by General Meng, it's okay."
"That's not necessarily true. Among the assassins who assassinated the Marquis before, one was from the General's Mansion. This matter has not been found out yet."
A god caught coldly snorted.
Zhou Shu was slightly stunned. He really didn't know about this, and no one would tell him about the investigation.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across the face of the man who sent the letter, but he still said in a deep voice, "The general already knows about that matter, and the general has already submitted a petition to apologize!"
"I'm here to give Marquis Youzhou an explanation on behalf of the general!"
The man said sternly, "The general said that because of his inability to control, he has brought such danger to Youzhou Marquis, and he is fully responsible. The general has requested punishment from the court. In order to compensate Youzhou Marquis, as long as Youzhou Marquis agrees, the general will
The general wants to accept Marquis Youzhou as a closed disciple."
The two gods were stunned at the same time. General Meng wanted to accept Marquis Youzhou as his disciple?
Although they had some doubts about the general in their words just now, the general is the general, and Daxia is the well-deserved military god!
Although the Marquis of Youzhou is a noble lord, it would be of great benefit to him if he could become a close disciple of the general.
The general is the military god of Great Xia. If you become his disciple, you will become a true member of the military. Moreover, the general’s connections are not comparable to those of ordinary people.
"What can the general teach me?"
Zhou Shu asked curiously.
"The art of war, martial arts, and general's attainments are all top-notch."
The man from the General's Mansion said proudly.
"That's it?"
Zhou Shu shook his head, "Forget it then. It's useless for me to learn the art of war. As for martial arts, I already have the inheritance."
All three of them were stunned.
Rejected?
He refused?
Doesn’t he know how much benefit it will bring to him to become General Meng’s close disciple?
General Meng has no children. To put it bluntly, everything he has will be inherited by his disciples?
Although the Marquis of Youzhou is a marquis, although the marquis is noble, he has no real power. If he can become a disciple of the general, it will be completely logical for him to enter the military in the future.
"Master Hou, are you sure?"
The person from the General's Mansion said in a deep voice.
"Of course, the general didn't say that I have to agree, right?"
Zhou Shudao.
"That's not true."
The person from the General's Mansion shook his head and said.
"Since the Marquis said so, I will repay the great general truthfully."
He handed over his hand, turned around and left without leaving the letter.
The purpose of the letter was to recruit disciples. Since Zhou Shu refused, there was no need to keep the letter.
Zhou Shu shrugged, feeling that it didn't matter. He was not interested in becoming a disciple.
So what about the general? He is not ready to join the army and fight, he is just a weapon maker.
"Two brothers, thank you for your hard work. It's just a small thing. I invite you brothers to have tea."
Zhou Shu took out a banknote from his arms, stuffed it into the hands of the two magic catchers, and then continued to walk forward.
The two magicians subconsciously glanced at the banknotes in their hands, and their eyes suddenly lit up, five hundred taels!
Mr. Hou is so generous!
Five hundred taels is almost enough for their annual salary.
Protecting Youzhou Marquis was originally a hard job, but now it seems that it is not that hard——
Just when Zhou Shu refused the visitor from the General's Mansion, in the imperial palace and the imperial study, Emperor Yuan Feng covered his heart.
Chest tightness and shortness of breath. Are you squandering the wealth that I have worked so hard to save? Who did you learn from such a big deal? My daughter is not like this!
