After the two of them completed their forging, someone came over, put away their weapons, stamped them, and told Lu An that there would be a special person to inform them in the afternoon whether they could enter the next competition and now they can leave first.

Afterwards, Lu An and Xia Luo left the square with a swagger under everyone's attention.

The four of them met outside and said clearly, "Let you not show off, you two, show us a joke, and finally, it seems like this. It seems that it will be difficult for others to remember you two."

Lu An shrugged and said that he didn't want this, and Xia Luo didn't care. Old Man Yao didn't understand what he said at all. He kept praising Xia Luo, calm and calm, with his own style back then.

The four of them went straight back to the blacksmith shop. As soon as Lu An sat down, he realized that he started nagging again, "Oh, how does it feel to be famous?"

Lu An replied disapprovingly: "It's not that I've never made a name. When I was in Saibei City, although I was the youngest, I had the biggest name. The head on my head was worth hundreds of taels."

Xia Luo looked excited and coughed, "Famous is not as good as reputation, and swords are not as good as swords. They are not my opponents. Lu An is the first, I am the second."

Old Man Yao retorted, "You need first."

I understood that hearing this, and glanced blankly.

Lu An always felt that his reaction was a bit too big. Although he showed his skills, he wouldn't be so disgusted, so he asked, "Is there anything bad?"

He nodded and replied, "It can't be said that it's a bad thing. Basically, this threshold in our family may have to be stepped on dozens of times in the afternoon. Secondly, Mu Xiuyulin always has a bit of strange things."

"Oh? Is that true?" Lu An was a little disbelief.

"Look at it, you will know when the union comes." He said clearly.

"It's like this. There's nothing to do about the nearest force. Someone came to the door and asked for it." Lu An moved his muscles and bones.

Old Man Yao nodded unconsciously, and then carried Xia Luo back to his place. Xia Luo didn't want to leave before, but he was almost jumped by a brain, so he had to follow him obediently.

I understood and looked at the two who left with a strange look.

Seeing that only he and understand were left, Lu An asked, "Master, have you been in peace again recently?"

He tilted his head and asked, "When will Jiangcheng be peaceful?"

Lu An was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to go back, it seemed that this was true. Although he had only been here for a year, strange things have always existed in this year and have never stopped. Within a few days, some people would be dispatched in the city lord's mansion and tossed for a while, but it was not very related to him.

Seeing that Lu An didn't reply, he continued to say clearly: "It seems a little better than before, but in fact, there is no peace, and it can be said that it is even more chaotic. Take this craftsman union for example. He lived on the back of the craftsman city before, but now it is different."

"Why is it different?" Lu An asked.

He rubbed his fingers and said, "It's not a problem of money. The development of the union in the past decade has reached a peak, almost monopolizing the entire northern border, and even the other four places have them. Relying on a Jiangcheng, they feel that they are not enough to eat. So now they are divided into two factions. One wants to continue to develop like this, and the other wants to establish a self-government and become the same existence as the Six Pavilions. But this is a big deal. In recent years, they have been struggling within, but they have never been able to unify them. They almost fought several times. It was Wu Jie who came forward to adjust and stabilize the situation. Otherwise, Jiangcheng would not be like this now."

Lu An suddenly realized that there was such a thing, "The city lord came forward to adjust?"

"Well, you will listen to anyone who has a hard fist. But in the past two years, Tian Man became the president, and it has only been a little better in the past two years. At least it looks very good on the surface." He said clearly.

"Then President Tian is a bit powerful. Could it be that he is also a powerful master?" Lu An said.

"It's true that he is a master, but he is always an ordinary master. He is not awesome, but in terms of sleekness, he is indeed awesome. If he can smooth out such a broken thing, at least I can't. I always think that this fat man can wrestle the wrist with the sick Bai Yu. The two are sinister people of the same kind." Explainedly.

"Isn't it good to say that Master Bai? He will save my life." Lu An replied.

I understood and waved my hand, looking helpless.

Lu An suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Where is Uncle Yao? Which side is he from?"

"Then you have to ask him, this old man is the most stubborn. Don't look at him as he looks fearless and has a simple mind. He has a calculation in his heart. He can do more than anyone else's calculations. If this continues, he will be slutty sooner or later." He snorted and replied.

Lu An chuckled, but these news is not a good thing for him. Fighting against gods will affect the fish in the pond. The union is internal fighting, the suppression of Jiangcheng, and the huge Jiangcheng City. There are so many masters that I can't guess at now. Grand Master Guangda himself is sure to have two. Wu Jie and Yu Wenyuan, Guangguang cannot be settled by the union. So what is the reliance of the union? A union that focuses on blacksmiths wants to become an existence like the Six Pavilions. Then they must have one or two top combat powers like Yu Wenyuan? Otherwise, wouldn't it be the meat on the chopping board, and it's at slaughter?

I just realized that what I said was good is adjustment, but Lu An must know that it was not so good. Maybe many people have died of this matter. But now, Xia Luo, as a disciple who inherited the legacy of Old Man Yao, must have been brought in without realizing it, but this silly boy must have no idea, and he has a headache.

Lu An unknowingly thought of another question and asked directly: "Master, what about you? Which side are you from?"

I understood and said, "Which side is the one I am from. If someone hadn't led me, I wouldn't want to participate in such a mess. Sooner or later, I would be stabbed in my back. The master's land will be snatched away. So, you should become the master sooner or later. In this way, you can still keep this land, otherwise we will really wander around the world."

"Master? Are you joking? I just came back alive from the Gate of Hell a few days ago, and now I am making me a master again?" Lu An said speechlessly.

"I don't know who it is. I gave two choices last time. That sounds good, but now I'm scared again? Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Damn, sneered.

"Ideals and reality still need to be carried forward step by step. You have said that I may die at some point, so what can I do?" Lu An retorted.

"Boy, your skills are just average, but your mouth is getting worse and worse." Mingxiong smiled.

"Average, just convince people with reason." Lu An replied. After saying this, Lu An couldn't help but think of the 1,000 taels of silver he had almost lost a year ago, and he didn't know how Zhao Le was doing now.

………

Zhao Le, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but sneeze, rubbed his nose, tightened his clothes, and scolded: "This ghost's weather is cloudy and sunny, and I always feel chilly."

The coachman outside the carriage heard this and replied: "Shopkeeper Zhao, you have to pay attention to your health. My family of five is counting on you to support you. You don't have a good or bad luck."

When Zhao Le heard this, he laughed and scolded: "Old Zhu, you really can't spit out ivory from your mouth and you can't give birth to paparazzi in your belly. If I sneeze, just curse me and drive your car well and don't take it into the ditch. There are several cars behind you to follow you. This time it's done, your food is indispensable. Make sure that your family of five has food every day. As long as you don't go to gambling, it's enough for your family to eat for a year."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he laughed a few times and replied, "It's just a little hobby, but don't worry, Lao Zhu, I've been driving a car for more than ten years and have never been brought into a ditch. It will take 3 months for someone to go from Shuyang City to Hongfu City. It only takes 2 months for me to walk the trail this time. You can rest assured that it will not be possible to miss your major matters."

"Xiaodao? Why haven't you heard of it? You still know Xiaodao." Zhao Le asked.

"I usually don't walk this road easily, depending on the season. Now this is just suitable. I walk in spring and summer, there are too many weeds, and the road is difficult to walk. In winter, it is easy to block the mountains with heavy snow. It is the most suitable now to fall in autumn. It's just right, there's a little mountain road, which is not easy to walk." Lao Zhu explained.

When Zhao Le heard this, his heart tightened, and his hands secretly held the short knife on his waist, and said quietly: "Then don't frame me, walk the path, it's not good to overturn the car."

"No, no, I can't turn over. As long as I follow me closely, no matter how I go, I won't turn over. I still have this confidence." Lao Zhu said quickly.

"Old Zhu, how did I treat you this year?" Zhao Le suddenly asked.

"Shopkeeper, you are very good to me. You can eat and drink, bet and prostitute. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lived such a good life." Old Zhu replied.

"Where is my family? How are you doing?" Zhao Le asked again.

"It's okay, it can be eaten and sleepy." Old Zhu replied casually.

"Since you say that life can continue, why do we have to walk on the path? Isn't it better to walk on the official path honestly? Could it be that you can pick up money on the path?" Zhao Le asked anxiously.

"Small path, small path, isn't this faster? It saves time." Lao Zhu replied in a panic.

"Oh? Is it? Save time?" Zhao Le sneered.

"Yes, yes, yes, it can save a month." Old Zhu said.

Zhao Le smiled but said nothing. Although his hands were covered with cold sweat, he slowly pulled out his short knife and held it in his hand, wiped the sweat on his face, and said quietly: "You are right, saving time, so that you can make money and go home. One day, I saw your daughter who was in a private school. Every day on the way home, I would pester your beautiful wife to go to Sanfangzhai to buy a piece of candy, but your wife is reluctant to buy it. And you dare to have a peace of mind only after they come home, for fear that they will be taken away?"

"Shopkeeper, where do you start? How could I not dare to eat? And who would catch them?" Old Zhu replied guiltily.

"Where do you start? You don't know how to pay back the money you lost in the casino now, right? I thought you were a kind person, but you actually blocked the money for your wife and children's meals. You don't know the expression she was standing in front of Sanfangzhai, but now she dares to put her ideas on me? Isn't your courage too fierce? Don't worry, I will take good care of them in the future." Zhao Le shouted sternly.

"Ah, shopkeeper, I, I, I, I, no." Before Lao Zhu could finish his words, Zhao Le stabbed Lao Zhu in his back with a short knife in his hand. Lao Zhu was immediately lost.

Then Zhao Le pushed Lao Zhu out of the carriage, then stopped the carriage himself. The carriage felt something strange and stopped one after another. Several other grooms and guards came over and wanted to ask, but they saw Zhao Lemans taking off his blood-stained jacket in an orderly manner, wiped the blood on his face with his hands, and finally wiped the blood-stained short knife on Lao Zhu, put it back on the scabbard, then raised his eyes and looked at the people approaching.

"Is there anyone else to be with him?" Zhao Le asked.

Everyone looked at this horrifying scene and hesitated and did not dare to speak.

Zhao Le nodded, "That's good. This time the salary is reduced, so you can get a little more. Well, as usual, I will add 50 taels to each of you. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads quickly and expressed no objection. Zhao Le nodded and pointed at someone casually, "Li Quan, do you know the way?"

Li Quan nodded.

"Then you come and lead the way, turn around and walk on the official road." Zhao Le said.

Li Quan nodded again, but when he saw the blood-filled carriage, he felt disgusted and vomited directly. Zhao Le glanced at Li Quan and then said, "Hurry up and finish vomiting, hurry up and hurry up."

Then Zhao Le got on the bloody carriage.

Zhao Le looked at his right hand that was shaking wildly, pressed it down quickly, touched his white face again, covered in cold sweat, took a deep breath, and then stuttered: "I must, live, live, go, go."

………

Lu An finally waited for the union notice. The first level was passed and he could participate in the second round tomorrow. He also gave Lu An a new sign with the words No. 3.

Understand that when you see this number, you said directly: "Boy, have you seen it? You are number 3, which means there are two people ahead of you who are better than you, so you can't take it lightly in the second game, and you may lose the chain if you accidentally."

Lu An nodded. He was very interested in the two people who were more than him and wanted to see who they belonged.

"Xiaosen, look at me No. 4. There are only three people who are better than me. I am really a genius, hahaha." Xia Luo's crazy laughter suddenly came from the other side of the street.
Chapter completed!
