Why don’t men take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states of Guanshan?

Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, as a scholar, a marquis of thousands of households!

...

"Oh, damn, where is my sword? Where is my sword?"

As he got closer and closer to Guiyang City, he could feel the atmosphere of chaos. The inspections of major intersections and passes were very strict. Liang Hong did not have a "good civil certificate" and could only bribe the soldiers who had investigated. The money on his body was almost insufficient, and he felt more and more dangerous. Walking on the road, he subconsciously touched the sword on his waist. After touching it, he realized that it was empty.

Damn, the sword was taken away by Ren Yingying, why did you forget it?

It's so troublesome now. Without weapons, how can I make trouble next? What if I start fighting with someone, wouldn't I be blind?

No, I have to find a way to make up the weapon. In addition, my appearance is clean, but I was also seen clearly by many Jinyiwei that day, so I might be recognized later and I have to find a way to disguise it.

Liang Hong thought to himself that a small town appeared in front of him. Although war was approaching and there were few pedestrians in the town, several shops near the town were still open. One of them was carrying a flag at the door of the shop, which was the word "iron".

Blacksmith shop!

Liang Hong's eyes lit up, and he touched the fifty taels of silver left in his pocket, and he had already made up his mind.

"Boss, let's fight the guy."

A moment later, at the door of the blacksmith shop, Liang Hong shouted to the old man Zhang who was smacking the iron.

"Okay, lord, what kind of guy do you want? Plowshare or fork?" Old Man Zhang came up and looked at Liang Hong and asked.

Hearing this, Liang Hong was stunned and looked at it. He found that the blacksmith shop was hung with some pig iron farm tools and there were no weapons. Then he realized it. It turned out that at that time, the Ming Dynasty implemented weapons control over the people. Ordinary people could not bring swords, and blacksmith shops could not create swords randomly. It was very troublesome to be caught. Of course, the most important thing is that the blacksmith shops were all pig iron. This iron has a very high carbon content, hard, but too brittle, so the tools they created were basically bulky farm tools. Once it was too thin, even if the sword was cast, it would be broken in a few strokes. In fact, it was useless.

This situation made Liang Hong a little difficult to deal with. He thought about it for a while, and finally whispered to Old Man Zhang: "Old man, I am a passerby. Now I am in a mess. I want to bring a weapon to defend myself. I don't know if you have it here. Don't worry, as long as you can get good things, money is not a problem."

While Liang Hong was speaking, he took out a ingot of ten taels of silver and put it in front of Old Man Zhang.

As soon as he saw the silver, the old man's eyes lit up. He said that he had been tying iron for the rest of his life. A farm tool was only a few cents, and at most it was only a few dozen cents. The ten taels of silver were huge. So he was moved. He picked up the silver and looked left and right, and confirmed that there was no problem. Then he put it in his pocket. Then he looked around and confirmed that there was no one. Then he waved to Liang Hong and said, "Call me, please."

Seeing this situation, Liang Hong knew there was a door, so he followed him into the backyard.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

As soon as he entered the backyard, a rough voice sounded. When Liang Hong looked up, he found a man with a tiger back and a bear waist, holding a big axe and chopping firewood in the corner of the wall, as if he was Old Man Zhang's son.

"This is the little old man's dog, named Zhang Da, a country family. He has no knowledge and makes the guest laugh," said Zhang to Liang Hong, and then said to the man: "You have nothing to do, you can chop firewood, and you can send it to the rich man Hu's house. You have no business these days and two days, and you are afraid of being tired. Now you are twenty years old and have not even had a wife to ask for. How can you live for this?"

"Dad, how did you know how to scold me? I don't want to advance? I'm going to join the army. You are afraid that I will die on the battlefield. I am going to go to the dock to do some business. You said I am stupid, afraid that I will be deceived. After all, aren't you trapped me at home?" Zhang Da seemed not very satisfied with Old Man Zhang. After saying that, he angrily carried Chai He on his back and went out through the back door.

Old Man Zhang looked at Zhang Da's back and sighed helplessly, took Liang Hong into the room with his head, then opened a small door, and then entered a secret room.

After entering the secret room, I suddenly found that the secret room was full of swords, guns, swords and halberds, all of which were excellent weapons.

This made Liang Hong like it so much. Unconsciously, he was stroking the weapons and said to Old Man Zhang overjoyed: "I think I was a trainer when I was young, right? Otherwise, how could there be so many weapons collections?"

"Hey, don't mention it. There are three hardships in life: smacking iron, raising boats, and grinding tofu. When the young old man was young, he stayed in the military camp for a few days and learned a few martial arts skills. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. That year, the Tatar army invaded the territory. The young old man's team was broken up. One of his legs was shot and injured. He almost saved his life. From then on, he became a blacksmith and dared not talk about killing enemies on the battlefield. The battlefield was not something ordinary people could imagine. Hey, once the fight started, the life would be like mowing grass, and he died bloody." Old Man Zhang sighed as he spoke. It was probably because he had seen the real cruelty of the battlefield, so he did not let his son go to the battlefield.

"So that's it. The old man has experienced many vicissitudes," Liang Hong looked at the weapon rack carefully and prepared to choose a more suitable weapon.

As a result, what he didn't expect was that at this moment, a noise suddenly came from outside, and then Zhang Da's heavy voice shouted: "Dad, dad, something happened, something happened!"

Hearing Zhang Da’s voice, Old Man Zhang was stunned and quickly turned around and walked out. When he saw Zhang Da, he shouted, “Why are you calling me? What happened?”

Liang Hong followed him out, and then he realized that Zhang Da was so anxious that his face was a little ferocious. He pushed Old Man Zhang away, and then shouted: "Don't worry, damn it, I must kill those bastards this time!"

While Zhang Da was speaking, he rushed into the inner room, lifted up a large black wooden box, then pulled out a long sheathed knife from the inside and rushed out.

"Ancestor, what are you going to do?!" Seeing this situation, Old Man Zhang hugged Zhang Da's leg in a hurry, but he just refused to let go.

"Dad, let go!" Zhang Da cried as he spoke, "Xiaohong is dead, he was ruined by those bastards!"

"What?" Hearing this, Old Man Zhang was stunned and looked at Zhang Da in surprise and said, "What happened?"

"It's not those bandits yet. Dad, please let go. I'll ride a horse to chase you now, and I will definitely be able to catch up." Zhang Da broke away from Old Man Zhang's hand, raised his foot and ran out.

"Son, don't go. Listen to Dad, Xiaohong is a good girl, but now she is dead and cannot be resurrected. Dad just made a big deal today. Don't worry, I'll marry you a better girl tomorrow. Listen to Dad, don't go. Dad beg you!"

Old Man Zhang ran out of the door and pulled Zhang Da's horse's reins tightly, but refused to let go, making Zhang Da's horse anxious and almost blown up.

Seeing this situation, Liang Hong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old man, brother Zhang Da, don't be anxious. What happened? Can you tell me in detail? Liang is not talented and has many martial arts. If you really want to do it, you might be able to help you."

When he heard Liang Hong's words, he felt that Liang Hong seemed to be able to help. Old Man Zhang and his son said one by one, and then he made the matter clear.

It turned out that Xiaohong was the maid of the rich man Hu's family. She was gentle and virtuous. Zhang Da had long liked her and had been begging Old Man Zhang to buy her back and be his wife. However, because the main price of the rich man Hu was too high, Old Man Zhang could not afford it for a while, so the matter was delayed. However, because Zhang Da often sent firewood to the rich man Hu's family, he got along with Xiaohong over and over again, which was considered to be in love with each other.

However, what was unexpected was that there was an unexpected situation. Early this morning, Xiaohong went out to deliver something to Mr. Hu's father-in-law's house. On the way back, he met a bandit and was intercepted. He was raped and killed in the valley. His condition was extremely tragic. How could Zhang Da bear this? Now he must catch up with the bandits and fight to the death.

But there are many bandits, how can ordinary people dare to provoke them? Besides, Old Man Zhang also heard that these bandits are not simple in their origins, and seem to be related to the Sun and Moon Sect. There are also some Fusang samurai inside. The methods of robbing families are extremely cruel. Men, women, young and old, chickens and dogs are not left behind. If his son goes there, wouldn’t he die in vain?

That's why he tried hard to stop his son.

Fortunately, Liang Hong was born into a bandit and did not hate the bandits very much. However, when he heard that there was a Fusang samurai among the bandits, the little Japanese son of later generations, Liang Hong immediately exploded. Without saying a word, he turned over and returned to the secret room, pulled a thick-backed sword from the wall, and carried it on his back. When he went out, he said to Old Man Zhang and Zhang Da: "I will accompany Brother Zhang Da to go for a trip. Needless to say, if I can catch up with those bandits, I will definitely avenge Miss Xiaohong!"

"This--" Seeing this situation, Old Man Zhang was a little helpless, so he had to loosen the reins and let Zhang Da go. Then Liang Hong bought a horse from Hu's rich man's house, and then the two of them rode out of the town and chased them all the way towards the bandits' escape.

"This group of bandits entrenched in Erniu Mountain, which is thirty miles away. They have no horses and can only walk and can't escape. I know there is a small road on this mountain, which is often the ones that bandits love to walk. Come with me and you will definitely catch up with them!"

While riding a horse, Zhang Da introduced to Liang Hong that the two of them could not run ten miles away. Sure enough, they saw a group of bandits carrying food and weapons in front of them. Several of them were escorting cars, Fusang ronin with a braid and a samurai sword.

When those people saw Liang Hong and Zhang Da chasing, they immediately formed a formation and prepared to fight. However, what Liang Hong did not expect was that Zhang Da's eyes were red at this time, and his horse was still fast. He rushed forward and shouted from a distance: "Damn thief, come on!"

Then, when the sword light flashed, Zhang Da was on the horse, his sword fell, and a Fusang warrior's head had been cut off.

"What a quick knife!"
