At this time, Cheng Yaojin was embarrassed to ask for it after being told his thoughts. But with this magic weapon in front of him, it was like a beauty by his side. If he didn't take it over to take a look, he felt really itchy. Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to look at Li Mu.
, Li Mu said: "Just show it to Uncle Cheng. Uncle Cheng has his own weapons. Can he steal yours? Besides, isn't this chained? It's okay!"
Li Chongyi thought about it, and it was right. Cheng Yaojin was not as strong as him. As long as the chain was fastened, he couldn't snatch it away, so he jumped off the horse and handed the ax over.
Cheng Yaojin glared at Li Mu fiercely, what does it mean to be chained... But then he thought about it, his character is indeed not that reliable. If he met someone like him, it would be impossible.
Let's see. After thinking about it, I felt better, jumped off the horse, and took the axe.
Cheng Yaojin received the ax with one hand, because Li Chongyi also handed it over with one hand, but as soon as Li Chongyi let go, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he quickly handed it over with the other hand to hold it, otherwise the ax would be lost.
It fell to the ground.
"Good guy, it's so heavy!" Cheng Yaojin weighed it and found it was at least eighty kilograms. This is the limit weight of a two-handed weapon. The double axes he used weighed only thirty-six kilograms each.
There are few opponents for the weapon. And Li Chongyi's one-handed ax is actually heavier than both of his. Cheng Yaojin can't help but look at Li Chongyi, how strong this kid must be!
Cheng Yaojin returned the ax to Li Chongyi and said, "How do you use this ax on weekdays?"
Li Chongyi looked at Li Mu, who nodded, and then answered honestly: "In close combat, just cut, and in long range, hang it on a chain, and throw it out to smash."
"I see you use an ax with one hand, what do you do with the other hand?"
Li Chongyi said seriously: "The boss asked me to use a shield, but I don't have a shield yet. When the boss has time, he will give me a shield."
"Boss?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Mu in shock and said, "This, this ax was made by you?"
"yes."
"You actually know how to..." Cheng Yaojin stopped mid-question. This was obviously nonsense. People have already said it, so wouldn't he be a fool to ask?
Suddenly Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and had a bold idea. If he didn't come, he might as well ask him to help with a fight, or at least pay him! Anyway, now that he has a money tree like a racecourse, there is no shortage of money.
.
"My dear nephew, how much does it cost to make an ax like this?"
"Hmm...it's not expensive at all, around five thousand. But it can't be hit now because there is no meteorite. Uncle, I made this ax by putting together all the meteorite from the Ministry of Industry. I originally wanted to make it.
There is really no material for a pair, so I can barely make enough for one handful."
"..."
Cheng Yaojin didn't ask any more questions, because he simply couldn't afford to make such an axe. He could get five thousand axes, but where could he get eighty kilograms of meteorite? But he didn't give up the idea and planned to go back.
As a long-term plan, before others know that Li Mu can forge weapons, get other people's meteorite iron first, so that the Cheng family can get a family heirloom!
A group of people left Zhuluhou Mansion and went to the racecourse. They were silent all the way. Not long after they left, a carriage came from Anyi Fang.
At first glance, this carriage does not look much different from the carriages of ordinary wealthy families, but if you look closely, you will find that the entire body of this carriage is made of black nanmu. Black nanmu is the best among nanmu and does not breed insects and ants.
Fragrance does not exist in the Tang Dynasty. It is a tribute from the Zhenla Kingdom and is most highly praised by contemporary literati. When ordinary people get a piece of wood, they treasure it and collect it. However, the owner of this car actually used it to make a carriage. This shows that the people in the car care about it.
precious.
Beside the carriage were four guards, all of whom were polished and restrained masters.
"Your Highness, we're here. Ahead is Zhuluhou Mansion."
The curtain of the carriage opened, revealing a round face, which was none other than Li Tai. Li Tai looked out and saw that the four big white characters of Zhuluhou Mansion were the handwriting of his father, Li Shimin. The jade seal passed down to the country on the lower right was
, is also unique and should be right.
"Help me come down."
Li Tai said something. One of the guards dismounted and held his arm. The other guard lay on the ground as a dismounting stone. Li Tai stepped on the guard's broad back and got down steadily from the carriage. He had already changed
A set of clothes, no longer the clothes of a prince, but the clothes of an ordinary student, with even a patch on the front in a conspicuous place.
The guard got up and said: "Your Highness, I'd better wait for the guard to go in. If something unexpected happens..."
"What accident could happen in Zhuluhou Mansion? I am here to become my disciple today, so why are you here? Needless to say, leave one person waiting nearby, while the others take the carriage and find a secluded place to hide.
Don’t get discovered.”
The guard had no choice but to agree. The guard took a baggage from the carriage and wanted to tie it to Li Tai's body. However, an embarrassing scene occurred. The baggage was too small. When he compared it with Li Tai, it turned out that it was too small at both ends.
It couldn't be put on, and it couldn't be tied at all. There was no other way, so Li Tai had no choice but to hold the baggage in his arms and walk up the steps of Zhuluhou Mansion step by step.
Looking back at the guards who had finished hiding, Li Tai raised his hand and knocked on the door knocker twice.
The concierge Zhao Youcai opened the door and saw a little fat man standing at the door with a silk bundle in his arms and a linen patch on the brocade clothes. He suddenly felt a little confused.
"I don't know... what is the purpose of this young master coming to Zhuluhou Mansion?"
Li Tai squeezed his eyes hard, sobbed, and said the excuse he had thought up along the way: "Uncle, you have made a mistake. This king... what kind of young master am I? I am just an ordinary student from a poor family.
I will take part in the imperial examination next year. Alas, my family is poor, and my father sold off his land and finally raised money for my tuition. However, I am not very talented, and although I study diligently, I have never been able to make the grade. Today I saw the four algorithms of Hou Ye in Datang Daily.
He was astonished as a man of heaven. The more he calculated, the more exquisite he became, so he specially prepared a bundle. He wanted to become his teacher and learn the method of arithmetic. If he could be taught the method of arithmetic, he would definitely be able to pass the arithmetic subject in the next year's imperial examination.
In vain, my father sold his property to support my education..."
The more Li Tai talked, the sadder he became. He actually believed the story he had made up, and tears fell from his eyes. Zhao Youcai was also a scholar. When he heard what Li Tai said, he remembered the hardships he had gone through in his studies, and felt pity in his heart.
Although I thought his clothes were a bit strange, but seeing that he was only eleven or twelve years old at most, and there was no one following him, I half believed him. What kind of trouble could a child come to be an apprentice to cause?
If the Marquis wants to accept it, he can accept it. If he doesn't want to, the Marquis will come and send him away. He is the concierge and can't help with anything else. Favors can still be done. Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai said to Li Tai: "Uncle, I'm just
A concierge in the Marquis' Mansion. I can't help you. The Marquis is not in the mansion now. If you are willing to wait, just come in and wait for a while. The Marquis will be back around noon. Then you can become a disciple. Accepting a disciple is a big deal.
It's a big deal. Whether the Marquis will accept you or not depends on your luck. If it happens, don't be discouraged and don't give up your studies..."
With that said, the concierge moved out of the way and allowed Li Tai to come in. Li Tai wiped his tears, thanked him with tears of gratitude, and followed the concierge to the house where he usually lived, waiting for Li Mu's return.
Li Mu and his entourage arrived at the racecourse. Before they even got close, they heard loud cheers from people in front of them. When they got closer, they saw that someone was performing an equestrian show in the racecourse. They saw a knight grabbing the saddle, flipping back and forth, or
Hidden in the belly of the horse, or standing on the back of the horse, it is like performing acrobatics. The spectators sitting scattered in the racecourse were excited to watch and cheered loudly.
Cheng Yaojin said: "This is according to your instructions, my nephew, to let these knights perform equestrian performances every day. At first, there were not many people watching, but in recent days, there have been more and more people. At this time, the number of people is still relatively small.
, in a while, when Tianjiesaburo appears, there will be more people."
"Tajiesaburo?"
Cheng Yaojin nodded and said: "The Tian family is a tenant of my Cheng family, and his three sons are all my personal soldiers. Sanlang's equestrian skills are superb, better than those of the Turks. At present, it seems that he is the best equestrian among all knights."
The most powerful one." Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but ask: "Xiannephew, I really don't understand, what's the use of arranging these things? If you want to gain popularity, please publish more in Datang Daily
Wouldn’t a few ads be enough?”
"Uncle, have you heard that what you hear is false and what you see is true?"
Cheng Yaojin glared and said, "Of course I've heard of it! Don't think of me, old Cheng, as an illiterate reckless man!"
Li Mu said: "Take Saburo Tian as an example. His equestrian skills are superb. He can control the same horse and achieve better results than ordinary knights. If he comes to play in the next game, people will
How to place a bet?”
Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and said: "If it were me, I would naturally bet on the horse he rides."
"That's it. This is the effect I want. Only when people see his equestrian skills will they believe that he can make horses run faster. If I just say in Datang Daily that Tian Jiasanlang has superb equestrian skills, how many people will
believe?"
Cheng Yaojin took it seriously and nodded, saying: "You still have a point. Okay, I won't ask you any more. Anyway, I have already arranged all the things you asked me to arrange."
The two of them walked forward, and Cheng Qian Diandian ran over: "I've met the prince, I've met the marquis. The plaque given by the emperor has been hung up. I'd like to ask the prince and the marquis to see if there's anything wrong with it."
.”
Li Mu looked up and saw the three characters "Happy Valley" hanging at the entrance of the racecourse. This time it was not in "Feibai", but in cursive script. The three characters were written in one stroke, and they were majestic, especially the one in the middle.
'Horse', really like a galloping horse, leaps onto the page.
"Happy Valley, it's good." Li Mu nodded and expressed his approval. In fact, it didn't matter to Li Mu what Li Shimin wrote, as long as it was written by him. Cheng Yaojin was a little dissatisfied, so according to his ideas, he wrote '
The Chengjia Racecourse finally fulfilled his wish.
