Chapter 382: Hu Yi is a little sweaty!

Hearing Lu Bu's faint tone, Ma Jun was shocked and understood what Lu Bu meant.

Yes, if you are a subordinate but cannot worry about the lord, what will the lord support himself?

Ma Jun quickly got up and bent down at Lu Bu and said, "Okay!"

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Okay, sit down, let's continue."

"The next one is the barrier knife, which is also the sword of the Jinyiwei. It is the same as the horizontal knife, but it only needs more than one foot to be long. It is light and flexible, making it easy to fight in close combat."

"The sword with both handles, the length of the knife is as good as the horizontal sword. The sword handle and sheath are inlaid with gold and jade, wrapped with shark leather. You can create this knife first, and the original appearance will be useful in the future."

The ritual knife is like a sword but not a sword, and it is blocked in a diamond-shaped knife. There are relatively obvious double hanging rings hanging around the waist on the scabbard.

The original Tang Yi sword was a ring-headed sword, which made Lu Bu's aesthetic view not like ring-headed swords, so he directly upgraded to a new knife shape in the later stage.

The knife head has no ring, the handle is wrapped with wood, the iron stem is wrapped with silk rope, the knife head is wrapped with metal ornaments, the handle and sheath are inlaid with gold and jade, and are wrapped with marmoset leather, which is very gorgeous and decorated.

It is called the "Tang-like sword" by the Japanese. To this day, there are still the same type of handicraft in Masakurayuan for reference. After carefully imitating it, the Japanese developed the later samurai sword based on this.

This extremely luxurious weapon is naturally used where it should be used. It is not suitable yet, so I can only wait for it later.

"Modao, seven feet long, three feet long, four feet long, and fifteen kilograms in weight. Just like the first two kinds of knives, I don't ask how to forge it, but it must be tough enough."

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Ma Jun's forehead. If possible, he would rather work on those crossbows that looked extremely complicated.

Lu Bu, who had a lot of ideas, stopped seeing Ma Jun's face being embarrassed and thought about it. These should be enough for him to have a headache for a while, so let's forget it first.

Lu Bu stood up slowly, patted the dust that did not exist on his body, and smiled and said, "Okay, let's get here for the time being."

After saying that, Lu Bu turned around and left, leaving Ma Jun alone watching Jinbo in a daze.

In today's Chang'an City, there are many small vendors with big umbrellas on both sides of the streets, teahouses, taverns, pawn shops, workshops, and there are still many small vendors with big umbrellas shouting in the open space.

The sun shines among the green tiles and red walls, the sudden eaves, the floating shop signs and banners, the rippling cars and horses, and the endless pedestrians all tell the prosperity of Chang'an City today.

After traveling through time, Lu Bu was busy fighting for dominance in the world, and he really didn't really watch this famous capital that has experienced thirteen dynasties seriously.

"Lord, I think it's better to bring more guards, you have to know..."

Lu Bu, who was dressed in casual clothes, raised his hand to interrupt Xu Chu's words, and listened to the teasing sounds of the drinkers in the restaurant with some rude words in the market, Lu Bu couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

"Did you see the peaceful scene in front of you? Have you seen those calm and comfortable smiling faces? If I took a large group of guards to the streets, can I still see this picture?"

Lu Bu naturally understood what Xu Chu meant. A large-scale assassination occurred not long ago, and now the envoy behind the scenes has not found out again. In this case, he only brought him Xu Chu, and Xu Chu was naturally a little worried.

Lu Bu was not afraid of death, but since that assassination, although the entire Chang'an City seemed to have nothing happened on the surface, it had already been surging undercurrents.

The people may not know what happened, and they still rested as usual when the sun rises and sunsets, but all the civil and military officials in the court knew that they were investigating the matter on a large scale at this time.

From the fact that the colleagues around you are sometimes taken to prison for no reason, it can be seen that Chang'an City is now in a tense atmosphere.

Nowadays, all the officials are in danger. They don’t even leave the door on weekdays, for fear that they will accidentally do something that will cause Lu Bu to misunderstand and that the whole family will suffer.

Lu Bu didn't believe that under such circumstances, the people behind the scenes still had the courage to send dead soldiers to assassinate him.

What's more, today he went out in plain clothes, and he didn't bring a guard beside him except Xu Chu. I think even if someone could recognize him, he would only think that this was a trap, a trap to lure the person behind the scenes to take action.

If it were him, Lu Bu, who was behind the scenes, would definitely think so.

After all, you just had such assassination, so you came out to wander. And if you were the prime minister, you didn't bring a guard except for the personal general. Who would believe it? I'm afraid there were many people waiting for me to take the bait in secret.

I won’t be fooled by you. Your technique is too low-level. Even a low-level three-year-old child can tell that this is a trap.

Therefore, Lu Bu believes that no matter who is behind the scenes, he will not be able to take action again at this time, so he naturally has no worries at all.

"But……"

"Okay, there's nothing to do, if you don't do it, you can go back."

With such a sunny weather and such a great mood, the most important thing is that it is rare to have such a leisurely moment. Lu Bu doesn't want to waste this great time quarrel with a big man of all sizes.

Seeing that Lu Bu's tone was already a little impatient, Xu Chu didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to follow Lu Bu silently and look at the crowd around him vigilantly.

Lu Bu, who was wandering around with Xu Chu, suddenly asked a familiar smell. Lu Bu walked towards a stall that was left unrelated.

Lu Bu pointed to the sacks and smiled, "Young man, what are you selling here? Can you open it for me to see?"

Seeing that a customer finally came to ask about his things, the vendor quickly came to greet him enthusiastically.

While talking about opening the sack mouth, he said, "Master, I am fennel from the Western Regions. It is rare to see in my great man. Look, although it is not as big as the fennel of my great man, it is a bit different in length, but the taste is absolutely good. That one should be good, and it is also cheaper than the fennel of my great man. Look, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it."

The hawker's words made Lu Bu feel shocked, "This is how you do business?"

Looking at the vendor's embarrassing appearance and the seemingly bitterness between his eyebrows, Lu Bu knew that something must be strange.

Not to mention that Liangzhou is now in chaos. Even if the business road from the Western Regions to Chang'an is still smooth, the things transported from this thousand miles of journey should not be lower than the local fennel.

Lu Bu stepped forward in confusion and grabbed a handful, rubbed it, and put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

Before Lu Bu could speak, Xu Chu, who was beside him, roared at the vendor.

Xu Chu grabbed the vendor's collar and roared: "You are so unhonest, you dare to deceive us. How can you be fennel here? You dare to deceive my young master. I think you are tired of living."

Xu Chu was a member of the army who could take a tiger general with his head as if he was taking a sack among the troops. His roar was extremely powerful. The frightened vendor's legs shivered and said tremblingly: "Big...Master, please spare your life... This...small..."

Lu Bu waved his hand with a smile. After Xu Chu put down the vendor, he had a friendly smile on his face and said, "Don't be afraid, my guard is just a bit violent and not a bad person. Tell me, what's going on with this thing?"

"If this thing really comes from the fennel from the Western Regions, if you sell it like this, you may lose everything."

Seeing that the person in front of him was so friendly, the frightened vendor slowly relaxed, looked puzzled, and said, "Young Master doesn't know that the young man has lost all his money. It's the first time he's doing business. He originally planned to do some small business such as vegetables."

"But when he met a businessman from the Western Regions, he was eager to return home and sold this goods at a low price. He also heard that this goods came from the Western Regions, so the young man bought all the goods in a cheap way."

"I thought I could make a lot of money, but who would have thought that no one would want the small one to lose money and sell it. Young Master, Xiao Di really didn't intend to deceive you. Xiao Di also said at the beginning that it doesn't matter whether you buy it or not. Anyway, the small one didn't have the hope of selling it. Please spare the young master."

So that's it, Lu Bu smiled silently.

I think it was the Western Regions merchant who found that this thing was not popular at all, so he took the excuse of rushing to return home and dealt with the item with the loss.

No wonder, the food customs are different, so this thing may be very popular here in the future, but at this time, this thing is really unpalatable in Guanzhong, where interviews are the main ones.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "I want all these things, and I won't let you suffer any losses. Just at the price of my big man fennel, what do you think?"

The vendor originally bought this item because it was not only from the Western Regions, but also cheaper than the fennel of the Han Dynasty, so he became greedy for small gains. Now Lu Bu purchased this item at the price of the fennel of the Han Dynasty. The vendor not only did not lose money, but also made a small profit, so there was nothing he was reluctant to do.

The vendor knew that he had met a noble person today, otherwise he would have lost all his money.

The peddler, who was so grateful, hurriedly bowed to the ground, kowtowed to Lu Bu repeatedly, and said, "Thank you, young master, thank you..."

Lu Bu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, get up, business is not as simple as you think. Don't think about greed for cheap things. You can't afford to lose money. In the future, you should do some more stable small business. Although you may not make any big money, it will not make you lose all your money."

"Thank you, my little man, I will never be greedy for small gains in the future. Thank you, my son..."

On the way back to the prime minister's mansion, Xu Chu, who was pushing a cart of "fake fennel", felt confused and asked in confusion: "Lord, what are you buying these things? Even if you sympathize with the vendor, just give him some money. Take this thing back to the prime minister's mansion for what to do, I don't know if this thing can be eaten."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "What? I feel tired and don't want to push it? Otherwise, I will push it myself?"

Xu Chu hurriedly said, "No, I..."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm joking with you, don't take it seriously. It's just fennel, so why can't I eat it?"

Xu Chu said anxiously: "Lord, this is really not fennel. Fennel is much larger than this, with eight horns."

Although there are many kinds of fennel, Xu Chu was worried that as his lord, he must have been unaware of what the grains were since childhood, so he specially picked out a variety that was very different from this thing to tell Lu Bu, hoping that Lu Bu could understand that this thing is really not fennel.

Lu Bu understood Xu Chu's meaning, so he smiled and said, "The one you are talking about is fennel, also known as star anise, and this thing is a type of cumin, called Arabic fennel and cumin, but it comes from the Western Regions. Because of our Guanzhong dietary customs, this thing is still rare here for the time being. When Chang'an becomes more prosperous in the future, food in various places will appear on the streets of Chang'an. At such a price, you will not be able to buy this thing."

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, touched the back of his head, and said, "So, we still have a big advantage?"

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Of course, let you see the real usage of cumin another day, and ensure that you, a carnivorous animal who likes to eat meat, will be endless aftertaste."

"The lord is really knowledgeable, and even the lord of the Western Regions can recognize this." Xu Chu touched the back of his head and smiled silly: "Hehe, lord, I'll invite you something to me, I don't know..."

"Oh? Tell me."

Xu Chu said embarrassedly: "Well, since this thing is so magical as the lord said, then can you reward me with some? Is it easy to go back and taste it?"

Lu Bu laughed silently and said, "Even if you give it to you now, will you use it? I will give it to you when I am a banquet for the ministers tomorrow. When you see the usage, I will give it to you."

Xu Chu said anxiously: "Well, can you wait until tomorrow. The last general and the last general can just take them back today... I will go to the prime minister's mansion tomorrow."

Lu Bu glanced at Xu Chu curiously. This reason was really casual.

Lu Bu asked in confusion: "When will you not go back to your house? Could it be that you will be ready to stay in the prime minister's house after you finish your meal tomorrow?"

"The last general, the last general does not mean that."

Xu Chu, who was stupid, had a flushed face for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "The lord will definitely have a lot of people to invite the ministers tomorrow. The lord cannot only reward the last generals... like Mr. Jia, Mr. Guo, General Gao, General Pang and other military generals, so that..."

Hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly realized, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said, "Are you afraid that there will be more people at that time, and you will get fewer points?"

Old Xu Chu's face turned red, he touched the back of his head, and looked at Lu Bu with a little embarrassed smile.

Seeing this, Lu Bu didn't know what was going on and smiled and said, "You dare to bargain with me on the reward. It's only you, Xu Chu. If someone else, me, me will have already cut him off. Well, you should carry a sack when you go home."

"Thank you lord!"

Seeing Xu Chu's happy look, Lu Bu was also speechless. You are a tiger fool, not a fool, okay!
