Chapter 98 Departure

Famous weapon!

The light green light came into view, and Li Yuan, who had dug the backyard almost ten meters down, was shocked:

Li Yuan tapped his feet lightly, and used the force of the earth wall to dig out a ten-meter-high deep pit. He looked around at the night, and after making sure that the courtyard door was closed, he went back to the house to pull the little mouse out.

After turning back into the earth pit, Li Yuan left the little mouse outside, and drew out the Autumn Water Sword, and dug deep into the place where the light green light was surging.

The Autumn Water Sword cut iron like mud, and cut mud like paper. Soon, Li Yuan felt that the tip of the sword paused slightly, as if it had penetrated some gap.

Crack!

Li Yuan made a prompt decision, retracted the Autumn Water Sword, stretched out his hands, and dug the soil. After a while, he was already standing outside a stone wall.

Shaking off the mud on his body, Li Yuan couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

This stone chamber is sixteen or seventeen meters underground. Let alone digging three feet, digging thirty feet underground, it is impossible to find it.

A stone wall naturally couldn't stop Li Yuan. He drew out the Autumn Water Sword and cut a hole in a few strokes. However, he didn't rush in, but cut the entire stone wall into pieces.

He walked in only after making sure there were no traps in the stone room.

The stone room was not big, only two or three meters square, and there were even fewer things. There were only two wooden boxes placed in the corner of the wall, and the Golden Snake Hand was in one of them.

Li Yuan muttered in his heart, but still cut the two wooden boxes open with the sword from a distance. Only a few "chi chi" sounds were heard, and a blue sleeve arrow was nailed to the ground.

Li Yuan glanced at it and didn't care anymore. He lit the tinder and looked at it in the dim light.

In the wooden box on the left, there was a thick stack of house deeds, land deeds, and the most indentures. Li Yuan found his own, which was placed aside.

In addition to the house deeds, there were the basic drawings of the Green Snake Spear, the White Ape Hammer, and the Tiger Roaring Knife. In addition, there were more than 20 silver notes, 50 taels of gold, 10 taels of red gold, and a number of pearls and agates!

After a quick count, Li Yuan's heartbeat quickened. This windfall far exceeded the total of the previous sum!

With this silver, he didn't need to advance the monthly salary for the time being.

The monthly salary of the head shopkeeper was 400 taels per year. Advance for one year was already a little tight. If it was really advanced for two or three years, I'm afraid the forging shop would be shut down on the spot.

The forging shop was large and had a lot of people to support. The monthly salary of more than a hundred people, iron materials, charcoal, how could it not cost money?

Li Yuan picked up the pair of gold-wire gloves and was excited.

The best sharp blades cost thousands of taels of silver, and the famous ones cost much more, at least five thousand taels of silver, and they were often out of stock.

This was the foundation of the forging shop.

Without looking closely, Li Yuan glanced at the stone chamber and frowned:

Zhang Ben was one of the few people who knew about the existence of the secret room. It was only when he let it slip after drinking that Li Yuan knew about it.

According to Zhang Ben, there should be at least five top-grade sharp blades in this secret room...

Li Yuan flipped through it and really found something.

...

Closing the account book, Li Yuan sighed that it was not easy to get into Zhelongju, and was impressed by Cao Yan's generosity.

In less than seven years, he gave away eleven top-grade sharp blades, which were the foundation accumulated by the forging shop for more than two hundred years, in order to enter Zhelongfu.

In fact, he was about to succeed.

Huh~

Putting away the things in the secret room, Li Yuan jumped out of the pit and filled it back with the hard soil he dug out.

At this moment, he had more than a thousand pounds of strength in his arms, and these tasks were not even hard work for him. He had filled it back before dawn.

Then he took out the six-sided hammer and tamped it a little.

After tearing off a few pieces of meat and stuffing them into the little mouse, Li Yuan went back to the house and counted the gains in the secret room.

Ten taels of red gold, one hundred and fifty taels of gold, two thousand four hundred taels of silver notes, plus agate pearls and the like, all together, they are worth at least eight thousand taels!

This is a number that would make Zhang Ben stare in amazement. Even if he worked as a blacksmith for another fifty years, he would not be able to earn so much silver.

Li Yuan was a little excited, but soon calmed down.

To advance to the fifth level of the military talisman, one needs a thousand pounds of steel, a hundred pounds of cold iron, five thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold, and twenty taels of red gold.

Li Yuan felt a little sorry, but he was already quite satisfied with this harvest.

After the silver notes, it was the real big shot in the secret room, the golden snake hand, with a light green light and a barely perceptible blood color.

Li Yuan had some shadows in his heart.

In the past few months, he had a good relationship with various forces in the city, and had borrowed a lot of books, but what shocked him was that,

including the government office, the city guards and the Yuan family, Gaoliu County did not have a single book that mentioned the worship method!

The teacher Wang in the private school also had no news after returning home to visit his parents, and happened to avoid Han Chuijun's purge...

Li Yuan felt a little depressed:

The hand with golden silk wrapped around the snake made Li Yuan have more associations, and made him miss Lao Han very much.

...

After dawn, someone was sent to deliver the house deed to the city guard, and Li Yuan went to the private school.

Because no one had taken care of it for a long time, the desks and books in the private school were covered with dust. He searched carefully and found nothing else.

Li Yuan shook his head, maybe he was really overthinking.

After all, Teacher Wang had been in the forging shop for many years.

It was a sunny day on the ninth day after the New Year.

After saying goodbye to his brother and sister-in-law with red eyes, Li Yuan, who had already made arrangements, carried a bag on his back and carried the long-handled melon hammer he had taken when he went to Fajiu Mountain before, and left the city.

It was very lively outside the city gate.

People from all families gathered together and were escorted to Zhelong Mansion by the Changyuan Escort Agency. There were more than twenty horse-drawn carriages and escort vehicles, and there were no less than hundreds of people who came to see them off and join in the fun.

These days, it is not easy to travel far, and it is even more dangerous to travel alone. If you stay in the wilderness at night, you will inevitably encounter bandits and horse bandits.

Outside the city gate, Zhou Jinzhong seemed to have waited for a long time. At this time, he turned over and got off the horse and handed over a package:

Li Yuan took it with both hands:

Zhou Jinzhong smiled and didn't care:

Li Yuan nodded.

After several banquets, he and Zhou Jinzhong were already very familiar with each other, and he also learned a lot about Zhelong Mansion and Shenbing Valley from him.

Zhou Jinzhong said no more and clasped his fists to see him off:

Li Yuan smiled in return.

There are more than 20 disciples who went to Shenbing Valley to learn from their master. At this moment, looking at Li Yuan who was chatting and laughing with the leaders of many forces in the inner and outer cities, they all had complicated expressions.

Those leaders were either their masters or their fathers...

Liang Ashui led the horse and watched from a distance, his expression was inevitably a little weird.

He never expected that after he went out to fish for half a month, this newcomer in the forging shop would become the head of the forging shop.

Moreover...

Liang Ashui muttered in his heart, and then began to feed the horse.

Liu Zheng, Wang Peiyao, Yue Yunjin, Wu Ming and others had arrived long ago, but they waited until Li Yuan talked with various forces and deputy commanders of the city guards before coming to say hello.

Many people were excited and nervous about going on a long journey.

Wang Peiyao was sharp-eyed and saw the little mouse sticking its head out of the bag.

Li Yuan corrected her.

The little mouse had eaten a lot of pills and was now the size of a kitten. Liu Zheng and others did not care, but Wang Peiyao kept a distance from it.

Wang Peiyao stepped back a few steps.

Lin Qingfa came over with a spear.

The chief escort of Changyuan Escort Agency was very distressed for a long time after the darts were seized by the Viper Gang, and now he has recovered his vitality.

The various forces in the city were destroyed, but not all gang members were killed. Many of them who had cultivated internal strength poured into other families, and the forging shops recruited many.

The chief escort took the opportunity to recruit a large number of new escorts. They were also responsible for escorting and guarding this time.

Li Yuan knew that he had delayed time. After bowing to express his apology, he quickly got on the carriage of the forging shop.

Before getting on the carriage, Li Yuan looked back.

Since he became the shopkeeper, Yue Yunjin, Wu Ming and other inner court apprentices have been a little reserved with him. They were all stunned when they heard the words. After looking at each other, they shook their heads and refused.

There were a total of six people from the forging shop this time, not counting Li Yuan. What would the other four think if they went up?

Li Yuan didn't say anything else. After he got on the car, Lin Qingfa waved his hand, and the motorcade slowly drove along the official road.

Li Yuan had some expectations in his heart, but he seemed to have realized something and lifted the curtain and looked back at Gao Liu. Among the people who saw him off, he saw his brother and sister-in-law,

Fatty Sun, Qiu Da and others.

Suddenly, Li Yuan frowned, lowered the curtain, and his face changed.

At a glance, he seemed to see Master Wang, but at a second glance, he didn't see him...

...

...

Wang Wenyuan watched the caravan going away, and as if he had sensed something, he disappeared into the crowd. A man in coarse cloth approached with a respectful attitude:

Wang Wenyuan laughed dumbly.

Wang Wenyuan glanced at him indifferently.

The two talked in normal voices, without deliberately covering up, but in the gradually dispersing crowd, it seemed that no one heard them at all.

The man was very helpless, as he had been chopping wood in the mountains for decades...

Glancing at the four suns hanging high in the sky without leaving a trace, Wang Wenyuan sighed and turned back to the city.
