royal robes

Chapter 662
Outside the city gate, there are a few guards guarding the gate outside the city, not as serious as imagined, they are still talking and laughing, just standing there holding weapons.There is also a long corridor inside the city gate, which is also a style that the Central Plains does not have.

The city wall is very thick, and the city gates are several meters apart from beginning to end. There is one gate in the front and one gate in the back. Such gates are quite good. Even if one gate is attacked, there is another gate that can withstand the attack. If the enemy attacks, and if they want to break through the city gate, they have to squeeze into this small space. If there are rooms or organs inside the city wall, the enemies inside will really come to death one by one, and the defense power is very amazing.

There is only one city gate in the Central Plains. As long as the gate is breached, the enemy can declare victory.Such a city gate is really useful.But correspondingly, the city wall has also become very generous. If the enemy army attacks directly from the city wall, it will be beneficial to the enemy army.

Many things have two sides. After improving the ability in one aspect, it is necessary to weaken the other side. It cannot be said who is good and who is bad.

The guard almost sat down on the ground in fright after seeing Zong Xin and his party. In fact, this situation has happened many times. No matter who saw Zong Xin and the pack of wolves, they were not afraid?Zhao Kuangyin's black bull is also huge, with a puff of black smoke coming out of its nose from time to time, not to mention people who saw it for the first time, Zong Xin is still a little scared until now, always feeling that the black bull is angry.

This black bull is also a top-quality animal. It is surrounded by a pack of wolves every day, drooling, and the eyes of the wolves are constantly telling greed.Hei Niu gradually got used to it. Although he was still very scared, he couldn't sleep well without the wolves staring at him. He had to hang out with Xiaobai's pack of wolves.The black bull is still afraid, but it must have the pack of wolves by its side. If it can't see the pack of wolves, the black bull will be even more afraid.

"Wow~ what kind of work?" The guard was so frightened that he couldn't speak human words. He raised his spear and aimed at Zong Xin and his party, but after thinking about it carefully, he gradually felt relieved.Because a group of wolves came to Yiwu a few days ago, although they have seen it many times, they still have this normal reaction.

Zongdao: "We are merchants from the Central Plains. We got separated from the caravan and are chasing after it. May I ask if a large caravan came to Yiwu a few days ago?"

"Oh, yes, yes, there was a large caravan, but they left a few days ago, and it's too late to go after them." The guards didn't really want this group of people to enter the city, but how could this be possible?She was exhausted from the long journey, not to mention that Dugu Xingyue still had business to do, so it was even more impossible for her to leave.

"Don't worry, we have some other things to do when we arrive in Illinois. Can you let us go into the city?"

Just as he was talking, an official who seemed to be guarding the city gate came over, and then made a look.The soldiers around him immediately began to check the goods in the car. Before entering the city, they had to check and calculate the approximate value, because there was a tax when entering the city, but it was not necessary when leaving the city, unless the whole city was under martial law.

After inspecting the goods, the soldier whispered something in Sheng Guan's ear, and Sheng Guan nodded and said, "This batch of goods needs to be taxed, ten taels of silver."

Zong Xin nodded, and Yaoyao took out ten taels of silver from the bag and handed it over.In fact, the tax on this batch of goods is not so expensive, but these are merchants from the Central Plains who re-traveled the Silk Road, and this group of people have already placed orders, so the promotion fee is a little more expensive.

"Okay, as long as you pay taxes, you are Yizhou's friend." The city guard smiled and said: "Everyone, please, if you want to sell goods or buy supplies, go to Dongcheng. There are many exchanges in Dongcheng."

Zong said: "May I ask how many blacksmith shops are there in Yizhou City?"

"There are several blacksmith shops, and the craftsmanship is the best in Dongcheng. There is a blacksmith surnamed Wei who is good at work. I make all my knives at his place." The city guard patted the saber on his waist. Really good.And the blacksmith's name is also Wei, so that's him.

"Let's go to the East City." Zheng Ziming immediately walked forward with the wolf on his back. Because the camels had been eaten up, Zong Xin's carriage was pulled by a wolf.Originally, there were five carriages and five wolves, but Xiao Bai was more of a thief, so he deliberately didn't pull the cart and let Xiao Hei do it.Xiao Hei also worked hard, although he did not eat camel meat, but all the camel bones were burnt into charcoal and he ate them, so Xiao Hei also had a certain responsibility.

In the carriage, Zong Xin held Dugu Xingyue's hand. At this moment, Dugu Xingyue's hands were sweaty from nervousness and excitement.The person Dugu Xingyue had chased and killed for more than ten years was finally about to appear. Dugu Xingyue almost lost control and wanted to kill him directly, but everyone believed that Wei Cheng was not guilty of death. Especially Zong Xin, if Wei Cheng hadn't killed Li Shan, how could he have such a good concubine.

With Dugu Xingyue's identity and strength, she is willing to be Zongxin's concubine, and Zongxin doesn't know in which life she was blessed.Therefore, he also cherished Dugu Xingyue very much. Of course, Zong Xin liked the other women very much, but his feelings for Bai Yu were a little different.

Zheng Ziming came to Dongcheng in a wolf cart, and he knew where the blacksmith surnamed Wei was just by asking, because his craftsmanship was really good, and he was quite well-known in the neighborhood.

Four wolf carts and an ox cart arrived in front of the blacksmith shop named Wei. Everyone stuck their heads out to look at the small blacksmith shop.Although his craftsmanship is good, Wei charges cheaply and has a good reputation in the local area, so his shop has always been prosperous, but he can't make much money.

At this time Blacksmith Wei was hitting a horseshoe, something like this was time-consuming and laborious, and it didn't make any money.But for people with horses, horseshoes are very important things. Not only can the horseshoe firmly grasp the ground deliberately, but also prevent the horseshoe from being damaged, just like wearing a pair of iron shoes.

On a hot day, there was only one shed on the roof, and no one could bear being by the big stove. Tiejiang Wei wore only an iron apron with his bare upper body, his hands were full of calluses, his whole body was muscular, and his face was full of simplicity.At this time Blacksmith Wei was beating the horse's hooves with a hammer. Blacksmithing was definitely one of the most strenuous tasks. It required not only hard work, but also skill. It was a kind of beating for the body and mind.

Wei Cheng, known as the judge of yin and yang, is said to have a handsome appearance, a little thin and sickly.But now this person, no one will believe that he is a judge of yin and yang, and some people may believe that he is the king of Hades.If he is really Wei Cheng, he has indeed suffered a lot in these years.

"Boss, you are from the Central Plains. Are there no blacksmiths in the Central Plains? Are those people sick? They have never seen blacksmiths, and they have been staring at us. I feel embarrassed." A young man complained: " But to be honest, those women are pretty, but it seems that a guy like me can't afford it."

"The most important thing in blacksmithing is to focus, as long as you don't hit the right place, your hands will be useless." Wei Tiejiang said: "Don't care what other people think, as long as you start blacksmithing, all your attention should be focused on this piece of iron. Above, this is a real craftsman."

Blacksmith Wei started beating the horseshoe again. After the shape was almost the same, he dipped the horseshoe into the water...'呲拉' The horseshoe, which looked ordinary on the surface, actually boiled for a while after being immersed in the water. There is no doubt that this horseshoe must be hot.

Everyone stared at Wei Tiejiang intently, Wei Tiejiang was unmoved, and put the horseshoe into the stove to be burned by the fire.

Zong Xin's carriage was also getting closer and closer, almost right next to the blacksmith's shop. Blacksmith Wei's buddy felt that something was wrong and started to back away.This group of people is so weird, everyone sticks their heads out of the window and looks out of the window, neither speaks nor expresses, just watching Blacksmith Wei forging iron, could it be that a group of lunatics have come?
Blacksmith Wei's eyes were extremely firm, and he would not be moved by anything outside. He watched the horseshoe in the stove turn red little by little, and then used the tongs to pinch it out...

'Crack~'

Xiao Hei bit the tongs, bit the red-hot horseshoe into his mouth, chewed it, and finally swallowed it into his stomach.

Not only the buddies, even Tiejiang Wei was stupid this time.I have been in this business for more than ten years, and I have never seen such a situation. What is this thing?He could actually eat red-hot iron into his stomach?Isn't it hot?
Blacksmith Wei sighed and said, "I'm not allowed to finish the last job? I've expected such a day, who is Dugu Xingyue, the eldest lady of the Dugu clan?"

Dugu Xingyue got off the carriage, fixed her eyes on Wei Cheng, almost could not bear the urge to kill him.

"I am."

Wei Cheng cupped his hands and said, "My servant, Wei Cheng, is known as the Judge of Yin and Yang. Ten years ago, I beat Han Wang Li Shan to death with one palm. I know that you will find revenge in Yizhou one day, and I don't plan to run away again. Killing people will pay for their lives." Debt repayment, my yin and yang judge, Wei Cheng, has killed many people in my life, but apart from King Han, I have never killed a good person by mistake. But since you are here to seek revenge, let's follow the rules of the world, arrange a duel in a place, life and death How about fate?"

What Wei Cheng said made Dugu Xingyue a little confused, who was looking for revenge, Wei Cheng even took the initiative to propose a duel, and he hadn't said anything yet.But looking at Wei Cheng's state, he didn't want to be caught without a fight, and he thought he was only responsible for this matter.Although King Han was killed by mistake, it was King Han himself who wanted to die, no wonder other people.

Dugu Xingyue nodded and said, "You decide the time and place."

"You have been looking for me for ten years, and it seems that you can't wait any longer. If I say tomorrow, you must not agree. Then tonight, at Haishi, there is a wooden pavilion five miles outside the east city. I built it for passers-by to rest their feet and enjoy the shade." How about a duel there?"

Dugu Xingyue looked back at Zong Xin, Zong Xin nodded lightly, and Dugu Xingyue immediately said: "Well, then you don't run away. But it's useless if you run, these wolves are extremely fast. Extraordinary, and with a keen sense of smell, no matter how fast you ride a horse or camel, you can't escape it."

"It can be seen... But we can talk about it beforehand. This is a personal grievance. No matter who dies in the duel between the two of us, this grievance will be over." Wei Cheng replied calmly.

"OK~"

Wei Cheng's calmness made Dugu Xingyue a little scared. Could it be that he thinks he is sure to win?Could it be that during these years in the Western Regions, he has practiced some supernatural skills, but he knew that he would come to seek revenge on him, so he had been waiting for him to come alone?
