The group of people followed Li Kui up a gentle slope covered with grass. It didn't take long before they saw the hole in the wall of Baizhang Village. Now the gate was long gone, leaving a dark doorway still hidden among shrubs and grass.

No wonder Han Dahu searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Han Dahu and others for not being able to find a way. The third uncle burned down the village. He wanted to go down the mountain, but if he failed, he would be benevolent. He gave up the village that had sheltered the Li clan for more than two hundred years.

Moved down the mountain and moved to the current Lijiazhuang.

In fact, Han Dahu and his group had been wandering around in circles, but they just didn't find the village.

Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, there is an abandoned earth wall, a fire with cold ashes, and a sloping roof built on the earth wall, covered with dead branches and leaves. This is the residence where Li Kui returned to the village

, the wind and rain are not necessarily useful, not to mention that it has already entered autumn and the weather has turned cold, which makes Han Dahu worried: "Brother, this is too simple?"

"This is pretty good. We didn't have such preparations in the mountains before."

Li Kui sat down by the fire pit nonchalantly, fiddled with the ashes, then took out the fire sticks and lit the dead branches. After fetching water from the well, he put it in the pot and boiled tea. The smoke from the cooking pot and the faint fragrance of tea were...

Don't have any fun.

Li Kui's attention gradually focused on the three-pointed and two-edged gun brought by Han Dahu. This kind of weapon emerged in this dynasty and was highly lethal, but the requirements for its users were not too high. They could use knives and guns.

, can be played with, but there is only one disadvantage. It takes a lot of effort to make, and most of them are limited to the Song Dynasty. The materials are not up to standard. There are many problems, especially the tip of the gun is easy to break. The broken three-pointed two-edged sword is simply

It's just an ugly piece of junk.

"Don't worry, dear brother, it will definitely be strong."

The weapons made by Han Dahu absolutely strive for excellence in the materials used. The purple gold hammer he made is made of ten-refined copper, which is already five or six times more valuable than ordinary copper. Gold and silver are even added to give it the luxury of a work of art.

This was back in the past when he was just a wealthy man. He didn't dare to use all the good things because he didn't have enough money.

Nowadays, Han Dahu has a net worth of at least 100,000 yuan. He is no longer as powerless in making weapons as before.

Li Kui is absolutely assured of the quality of the weapons made by Han Dahu. This is a master who is willing to spend all his money to build weapons. The quality of the weapons is absolutely first-class, but this name?

"Brother Han, can't the name on this gun be changed?"

"It's not easy to change."

Han Dahu came closer and looked at the words engraved on the gun. After gesturing for a while, he found that he could not change a single word. He could only sigh and said: "If you really don't like it, please file off the words? It's all my fault that I don't know how to write.

Make my dear brother laugh."

Han Dahu felt a pity and looked at Li Kui with expectant eyes. He said so, but he didn't think so in his heart. He pouted and secretly pointed at the two small words next to 'Three-pointed and two-edged divine peak'

He said: "Please, dear brother, be merciful and leave these two words alone?"

After finishing speaking, he waited patiently for Li Kui's reaction.

Only then did Li Kui get closer to the fire and saw two words, "Clumsy Craftsman". There was also a number after it, "two."

He looked up at Han Dahu in confusion and asked, "Brother, what is this...?"

"It's my brother's nickname to make my dear brother laugh." Han Dahu said modestly. Although he claimed to be a poor craftsman, in his heart, he had the intention to challenge the world's famous craftsmen. Han Dahu's expression gradually changed, from smiling to affectionate, and finally...

Tuo Gu was as solemn as ever: "I am obsessed with a lowly career for my brother, and I am afraid that my life will be wasted. I will not succeed in being an official. I am afraid of being an inspector, and I am afraid that I will bear the emperor's favor. I only have some experience in craftsmanship. I will spend most of my life.

It’s just a matter of time and effort. Only this weapon can pass down the name to my brother..."

Having said this, Han Dahu stroked the blade with an expression as infatuated as if he was seeing the woman he loved for the last time, which even Li Kui felt was a bit funny. The emotional look of a rough man always makes people want to laugh.

Later, Han Dahu said again: "The [Ruyi Golden Cudgel] is already famous, and this [Three-pointed Two-edged Magic Blade] is famous all over the world thanks to our brothers."

But Han Dahu shook his head again and said to himself: "It's a pity that my dear brother is a scholar, and he will also be a civil servant when he becomes an official. I'm afraid this weapon is really useless. It's a pity..."

Unexpectedly, Han Dahu, a rough and rough man, had an eternal craftsman's heart. Li Kui immediately said that within three years, this thing would be famous all over the world.

This was originally a thoughtful word of relief, but Han Dahu was shocked. Li Kui wouldn't think about becoming a civil servant and attack anyone he didn't like, right?

If this is really the case, will all the civil and military officials in the court still have a chance to survive? And wouldn’t the weapons he made become murderous weapons?

Han Dahu was so worried that he didn’t want to give it away.

Given to Li Kui, a good battlefield magic weapon, it may become a weapon for Li Kui to cause trouble. How could he, who is his brother and most likely his brother-in-law in the future, watch Li Kui embark on a road of no return step by step?

?

But Li Kui didn't care. The next twenty years were destined to be troubled times for the Song Dynasty. There was nothing wrong with practicing martial arts, even if you couldn't serve your country, you could protect your family.

The Song Dynasty has no more years to look forward to.

Li Kui didn't know it at first, but he knew that the Song Dynasty had a cowardly king and traitorous ministers, which destroyed a prosperous world.

But I have only recently come to realize that the Song Dynasty laid the root of its troubles during the Shenzong period, and even these roots can be traced back to the Qingli New Deal during the Renzong period. Fan Zhongyan’s New Deal and New Party were all benevolent gentlemen, even if they were framed and ultimately destroyed the New Deal,

I never thought about using abnormal means to retaliate.

But it was different in the Shenzong period. Wang Anshi's political ability in governing might be greater than Fan Zhongyan's, but in terms of employment, he was really not as good as Fan Zhongyan.

Fan Zhongyan would not even look at someone with bad character, let alone appoint him as an official. This led to the fact that even if there was a loud voice of dissatisfaction with Qingli's New Deal in the court, after the failure of the New Deal, it would not cause opposition in the court.

But the Xining Reform was different. When Wang Anshi faced no one to help him, he only looked at his ability and not his character. As a result, almost twenty years have passed since the Xining Reform, but now the court is already in a situation where water and fire are incompatible.

And this kind of confrontation will always lead to the fact that there are basically no people in the court who dare to tell the truth.

If this continues, it will be unreasonable for the Song Dynasty to survive.

If the Liao Kingdom hadn't looked down on it, there might have been hope of unifying the north and south of the country.

It's a pity that Li Kui has nothing to do with the debates in these temples or taking sides.

Even if he passes the provincial examination next year, that is, in the spring of the ninth year of Yuanyou, and is named on the palace examination gold list, he will still be a low-ranking new Jinshi. It is possible that because his ranking... is not very good, he can only be awarded a ninth grade.

A minor official. The top three candidates before the imperial examination can be awarded an official title directly. If he is the number one scholar, he may even be a sixth-grade official. Unfortunately, he knows his own affairs, so the top three candidates may not have a chance with him, and the second rank is also unknown.

If he were to be given a ninth-grade official like a scholar, professor, etc., when would he be able to become a prime minister or a consul?

Who can hear his voice?

Even after being in officialdom for more than ten years, maybe more, twenty years, I didn't even have the chance to participate in the morning court.

After thinking about this, Li Kui was a little depressed, full of ambition and frustrated that he couldn't put it into practice.

However, this was the most likely trouble Li Kui would encounter, and he would have to use force to protect himself in the end. He decided that once he passed the Jinshi examination, he would serve as an official for a few years and see how his official fortune went.

With the money he earns, he can support seven or eight thousand people. He can learn from Zhujiazhuang and protect himself. He can even bully the unscrupulous people around him.

This is also the reason why Li Kui wants to practice martial arts. Another reason is that playing with an ax is too low-level. He can just stand on the ground on weekdays. Anyway, his long legs are not slow to run. But riding a horse will suffer. If it is a horse

When the fight started, other people's big iron guns and machetes came towards his head. He was holding two ghost axes in his hand, and he couldn't reach them when they poked them in the waist. He could only stare. It was irritating to think about it.

How can a good man endure being bullied into a turtle for nothing?

Therefore, he wanted to get himself a long weapon, but he couldn't afford to suffer from the size. He couldn't afford to lose this person.

Han Dahu's men were excitedly preparing to go to the mountains and forests to catch some wild game, but after it completely darkened, they all came back empty-handed and dejected.

When Li Kui saw this, he burst out laughing: "I'll catch two yellow sheep for you tomorrow and eat them as meat."

Everyone showed disbelief, and finally spent the night munching on dry food and drinking hot tea.

The next day.

At dawn, Han Dahu woke up leisurely, only to find that the leader of his warriors was pushing him, with a nervous look on his face: "Master, the second master is missing."

"Didn't he say he went to catch the sheep?" Han Dahu shook his body and felt the cold morning in the mountains. Only then did he see the suspicion in his men's eyes and said with a smile: "He caught the tigers in the mountains right away. Do you think

Can two yellow sheep defeat him?"

"But……"

"You can't match my brother's abilities, and you can't even imagine them." As Han Dahu spoke, he thought of Linyi City more than two years ago. Li Kui jumped off the roof like a god descending from the earth, and knocked over a street of Imperial City Secretary with two door panels.

Fanzi, in his opinion, there is nothing in this world that Li Kui can't do if he wants to.

However, several of his subordinates did not see the market and used other people's skills to themselves.

Can it be compared?

The sun came out and the mist in the mountains gradually dissipated. Li Kui suddenly appeared in front of the group of people from nowhere, with a ram on his back and a sheep under his arm.

Han Dahu jumped up from the ground and rushed towards him: "My dear brother, what a trick!"

"With no one living in the past two years, there are a lot of prey." After Li Kui finished speaking, he killed the sheep and cut the meat, and then the aroma of meat wafted from the abandoned Baizhang Village. After eating, Li Kui sent Han Dahu and others out of the village.

On the way back, Li Kui passed by a small lake. He held a three-pointed two-edged sword on the back of one hand, raised his eyebrows at his reflection in the lake, and muttered: "How evil! Holding this thing, I always feel like an Erlangshen."

, but what does it feel like?"

Suddenly, he laughed happily again: "It seems like there is a black dog!"

He would never say that his appearance is not as good as Erlangshen. Anyway, in his opinion, a person with three eyes must be disabled. There are not many parts on his body, and none is less. He is much better than Erlangshen.
