Chapter 201
With a cold face, Jian Zun let out a dissatisfied hum with his nose.

Yao Yi didn't seem to hear it, and looked at the architectural style of Jianjian City, which was completely different from the northern part of the Central Plains, and praised it from time to time.

"City Master, this Sword Forging City is located in the southwest, and has a very different style, which really opened my eyes."

Sword Master's face was cold, and he said in a neutral tone:

"If my nephew likes it, it's not impossible to live here forever."

Yao Yi smiled brilliantly, and said:

"These words sound familiar, as if the official leader had said something similar to me when he was still there."

When Jian Zun heard Yao Yi's words, he just let out a long snort and didn't continue talking.

At the beginning, he signed a covenant with Yao Yi, agreeing to form an alliance, and the condition was to destroy Goshawk Fort.In order to gain time to forge the Lingshuang Sword, Jian Zun directly agreed.

It's just that Yao Yi said that after the two made an agreement, he would personally go to the Western Regions to help destroy Goshawk Fort.After Jian Zun heard it, he directly refused, and almost turned his face on the spot.

You know, now that the Lingshuang Sword is about to come true, no matter who it is, as long as they approach the Sword Forging City, they will be considered by the Sword Master as wanting to conspire with the Lingshuang Sword.

Yao Yi put on a sincere look, and explained in detail how he was assassinated by Goshawk Castle, and how he couldn't understand his crimes of torturing the people, so he wanted to personally eliminate this scourge of the martial arts.

He also made a promise and asked Sword Master to agree that he would only bring a few cronies with him, and would not dispatch most of his troops.

Sword Master weighed the pros and cons for a long time. Although Yao Yi is intimidating in the world now, his Sword Master is not weaker than him. In addition, Zhu Jian City is his territory. If he is afraid of the head and tail, doesn't it mean that he is afraid of Yao Yi?Coupled with Yao Yi's current reputation of benevolence and love for the people, this reason convinced Jian Zun a little bit.

Under such considerations, he finally reluctantly agreed to Yao Yi's request, and only then did the two of them travel together to the Sword Forging City.

As soon as everyone entered Jianzhu City, they saw a young man from a distance leading a group of people from Zhujian City to pay a visit.The young man was dressed in royal blue and held a bloody long sword. His face was fair and delicate, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes.Although he looks handsome, but it gives people a very uncoordinated feeling. This person is the young master Jianxiong of the Sword Forging City.

"Boy welcomes father back to the city!" Jianxiong led a group of subordinates from Jianzhu City, and knelt down in front of Master Jian.

"Welcome the city lord back to the city!"

Only then did Sword Master show a smile, stepped forward, helped Jianxiong up, and said:

"Xiong'er, you have worked hard during this time, is there something important in the city?"

"Father, don't worry, the child will live up to his trust, and everything in the city will be as usual." Jianxiong said.

Sword Master nodded, turned around and pointed at Yao Yi, and introduced:

"This is Yao Yi, the leader of the Tianxiahui. I have a relationship with his father on the same level. You can call him brother."

Along the way, Sword Master didn't give Yao Yi any good looks, and kept holding the position of his elders.Even if my subordinates are not as powerful as you, you are still my junior.

Jianxiong also knew his father's character. Hearing this, he glanced at Yao Yi apologetically, and saluted:
"Meet Lord Yao."

Yao Yixin saluted happily, and said with a smile:
"What the city lord said is somewhat reasonable. You and I are about the same age, and our two families have been in contact for a long time. It is still more affectionate to call you elder brother."

Jianxiong didn't say any polite words, and smiled at Yao Yi, showing his goodwill.Yao Yi has a gentle and polite attitude, combined with the deeds spread in the world, it is hard not to let Jianxiong feel a little bit of goodwill.

At this time, Jian Zun narrowed his eyes and suddenly interjected:
"Xiong'er, Master Yao Yi has come to my Sword City. Take him around the city for the next two days. You are a guest from afar, so you must treat him well, and don't neglect him for a moment."

Yao Yi couldn't help complaining in his heart: I haven't seen you being negligent along the way, why are you being polite now.

After all, I still worry that Yao Yi has ulterior motives.Jianxiong's age and status are similar to Yao Yi, so it's not considered rude for her to receive him.Jianxiong's martial arts can be regarded as a master, even if Yao Yi has evil intentions, he can't hide it easily.

Jianxiong has obeyed his father's orders since he was a child, and he has long understood Jianzun's character. He also knows that Lingshuangjian, who has worked hard for several generations in his family, is about to be born. what to do.

"Yes." Jianxiong replied.

Master Jian nodded, turned around and left, leaving only Jianxiong to accompany Yao Yi.

Seeing his father leave, Jianxiong smiled at Yao Yi with some embarrassment, and said:

"Bang Yao and brother Yao came from the same way. I don't know if they want to rest first today, or are they planning to go for a stroll and appreciate the customs and customs of my Forging Sword City?"

"Thank you, brother Jianxiong, please take me around this city. The world is vast, and there are styles and customs in the south, east, and north. It's a pity that I don't understand the customs of the city of sword casting." Yao Yi laughed.

Jianxiong nodded, and then led the way, leading Yao Yi to wander around in Jianjian City.

Zhujiancheng is famous for its sharp armor, and all martial arts people in the world are proud of holding the weapons made by Zhujiancheng.During these hundreds of years of disputes, Sword Forging City has always played the role of an arms dealer.

Compared with other cities in the Central Plains, Sword Forging City is not considered prosperous.There are very few people in the city who are engaged in trades such as peddlers.

It's called a city here, but it might as well look like a blacksmith's shop disguised as a city.Most of the people in the city depend on casting weapons for a living.Wandering around the street for a few steps, six of the ten people I met were dressed in Sword Forging City costumes, and at least two of the remaining people were merchants who provided minerals and bought and sold weapons.

Jianxiong was also straightforward, and said directly:

"My Sword Forging City has always been making swords for a living. In terms of prosperity, I think it can't compare with the Central Plains city. Brother Yao laughed."

Yao Yi shook his head and said:

"Casting Sword City can rely on forging swords to support the people of a city, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment in this troubled world. Compared with Guan Yutian and Helianba, Ling and his son are already heroes."

Everyone loves flattery, Yao Yi said so, which naturally made Jianxiong very happy.

"Brother Yao, you're being polite. Brother Yao inherited his father's career, occupying the northern central plains, and crossing the martial arts world. This kind of demeanor is even more fascinating." Speaking of this, Jianxiong felt a little sad.

She is the young master of the Sword Forging City, and now the Sword Master no longer interferes with other miscellaneous affairs, all the affairs of the city belong to her alone, and her responsibilities bind her to this small Sword Forging City.She is not very old, and when it comes to the greatness of the world and the splendor of Jianghu, she can't help but yearn for it.

Yao Yi saw her thoughts, couldn't help smiling, and said:

"Actually, there is no need to be envious of the greatness of the world, and there may not be no wonderful things around me."

Jianxiong let out a laugh, and couldn't help saying:
"I have lived in this sword-forging city since I was a child. I remember every corner of this city in my heart. Even if there are exciting ones, I have long been tired of watching them."

Yao Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile:
"Really?"

"How can it be fake?"

"Then let's go, find a place to change clothes, and I'll show you something different." Yao Yi said.

Jianxiong was stunned, not knowing what Yao Yi meant.

A moment later, Jianxiong was alone, wearing coarse clothes, standing on the street, holding the hem of his clothes with both hands, looking a little at a loss.

Yao Yi was also dressed in coarse cloth, and he came out from the alley, holding a small wooden cart with a lot of gadgets piled on it.

Seeing Yao Yi appearing, Jianxiong rushed to greet him, and said:

"Why did you ask me to change into this suit?"

Yao Yi put down the car, clapped his hands, and said:

"You have been living in Jiancheng City as the young master of Jiancheng City for these years, so you are naturally tired of seeing everything in this city. You might as well give it a try today, and try to live in Jiancheng City as an ordinary citizen."

Jianxiong has followed the rules since he was a child, where has he ever done such a thing, he quickly waved his hands and said:
"No, no, I still have a lot of business to deal with."

Yao Yi pointed to her clothes and said with a smile:
"Haven't you already changed your clothes, just treat it as a fool with me."

Jianxiong couldn't resist Yao Yi, and there was a hint of eagerness hidden in his heart, so he could only half push and half follow behind Yao Yi.She was still persuading herself in her heart: I am a guest from afar, so let's play around with him once.

On Yao Yi's car, there are some gadgets piled up. They are wooden carvings for children to play with. They were all carved by his guards just now.Martial arts masters don't pay attention to fineness, so it's not difficult to carve these things.

"Brother Jianxiong, you have been in charge of Jiancheng for some time, but do you know what ordinary people earn in a day?" Yao Yi asked.

"The salaries of my servants, miners, guards, and swordsmiths in Jiancheng City are not equal. The high ones are paid a thousand Wen a day, and the low ones are paid tens of Wen a day." Jianxiong said without hesitation.

"Okay, there are a total of 37 of these things, and they are the only things on us that can be exchanged for money. Our subordinates have already been sent away. Tonight, whether to drink, eat meat, or eat steamed buns depends on whether we can sell these things. .”

"what!"

Apart from the Jianghu people who want a good sword, the most people who come to Jiancheng are businessmen. It stands to reason that this place should be extremely prosperous.But it's a pity that in Sword Forging City, apart from the necessary supplies, there are very few other goods.

In this world of martial arts and crimes, being a businessman is a very difficult and risky profession.Not only do you have to consider whether the business will make a profit or a loss, but you also have to beware of martial arts people on the road who are interested in money.In this way, expert guards must be hired on the road, and the transportation cost will increase. Selecting suitable and profitable products has become something that businessmen must consider.

Jianjian City does not do production, but makes a living by casting swords. The necessary materials such as large quantities of rice and minerals brought by merchants will be directly purchased by Zhujian City. It will make a steady profit and no loss. No one will think about transporting other things. .Although this kind of wood carving is simple and rough, it is also an uncommon thing.

Yao Yi took Jianxiong to a busy market, and started yelling without saying a word:
"Woodcarving, fine woodcarving."

Jianxiong was taken aback by Yao Yi's yelling, he quickly grabbed Yao Yi and said:

"what are you doing?"

"Yell."

Jianxiong blushed, pulled Yao Yi and said:

"You are the leader of the Tianxiahui, and I am the young master of Sword Forging City. We are like this on the street, what should we do if our subordinates see us?"

Yao Yi pointed to himself, then pointed to Jianxiong, and said:
"Have you ever seen the gang leader and young master in coarse clothes? Even if you and my subordinates are standing here face to face, they don't dare to recognize us."

Jianxiong hesitated for a moment, then let go of Yao Yi.

Yao Yi smiled, then shouted loudly.

In Jianjian City, where materials are scarce, although wood carvings are not a good thing, it still attracts many people to come here.

"Young man, how do you sell this woodcarving?" asked an old woman who came over first.

Jianxiong thought that he often inspected the city, he was afraid of being recognized by the people, he lowered his head and dared not answer, for fear of being recognized by others.

"I'm just a buddy, so I can't make the decision. You can ask our boss, this stall belongs to the boss." Yao Yi held back a smile, pointing at Jianxiong.

As soon as Jianxiong heard Yao Yi's words, he felt anxious, afraid of being recognized by others, he lowered his head and wanted to leave.

But the aunt was faster with her hands and feet, grabbed Jianxiong and asked:
"Boss, why are you selling this thing?"

Jianxiong dodged and did not dare to answer.

The aunt was a little dissatisfied, she grabbed Jianxiong desperately, and said:

"You young man, you are still in business, and you dare not talk to customers, how can you sell your things!"

"That's right, you don't have to pay to die for doing business." The people who joined the fun shouted.

Jianxiong was worried about hurting these ordinary people, so he lowered his head and dared not raise his head to fight back.At this time, Jianxiong, who was blushing all over his face, had an idea in his mind, that is to kill Yao Yi with a sword and kill himself like this.

Yao Yi saw that he could no longer force him, so he had to open his mouth to make a relief:

"Our boss won't communicate with you, so I'll make the decision. Take this wooden carving of ten characters, and take it away if you like it."

After knowing the price, the aunt let go of Jianxiong, frowned and said:

"This thing can't be eaten or drunk, it's so expensive, it should be cheaper!"

Yao Yi is familiar with the road, and directly replied:
"This can't be done. Our small business can't be cheap."

Seeing this, the aunt shook her head, mumbled something, and squeezed out of the crowd.

Seeing that there was no excitement, the people around knew that it was a wood carving, and they didn't really want to buy it, so they just rushed away.

Jianxiong, whose rosy face hadn't dissipated, raised his head, squinted his almond eyes, and gave Yao Yi a hard look.

"How about it, no one will recognize you, look at you." Yao Yi said with a smile.

Jianxiong calmed down and said angrily:
"Okay, no one recognizes us. But isn't there no one buying this, the only one who wants to buy it is too expensive, or let's go back."

"Hey, don't worry, that's where it's going to be. The aunt didn't want to buy it just now. I guess she just wanted to ask. If she really wanted to buy it, she wouldn't leave so simply."

Jianxiong was a little unconvinced, and said:

"You dignifiedly know how to help the Lord, how do you understand this?"

"Don't worry about it, I'm not kidding, if you want something good to eat at night, then find a way to sell some. At least sell one or two, you can eat a steamed bun, you can't come to your sword city For the first meal, you have to be hungry." Yao Yi replied.

"You didn't ask for it yourself. I don't care if I'm hungry." Jianxiong said in a low voice.

Yao Yi just pretended he didn't hear it, and continued to yell.

After a long time, there was a faint and stuttering voice behind him:
"Who, who, who wants wood, wood carving."
