Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Ouyang Shaozheng drove a long way, and finally came to the last blacksmith shop.

Ouyang looked at the topographic map of Daofu Town and then at the address, and he was sure it was correct, but this location as a blacksmith's shop really confused him. There was a large bamboo forest in front of him, and a dilapidated house could be seen in the distance.

"Sure enough, everyone has their own preferences. Will there be business in a blacksmith shop so far away?" Ouyang frowned, "It looks like it's more appropriate for someone to live in seclusion."

"Let's go and have a look." Zhan Zhao walked around the bamboo forest, found a path that was only big enough for one person, and wanted to walk in.

After passing through almost half of the bamboo forest, I finally arrived in front of the small thatched hut.

The hut is divided into two rooms, one is the main room, which seems to belong to the owner, the door is closed and the lights are not lit, and there is a small shed next door, surrounded by black cloth on all sides, there is a faint light coming out from inside, and you can hear "" Dang Dang Dang" the sound of iron knocking.

Everyone looked at each other - there is a door, at least nine out of ten it is really a blacksmith's shop.

It didn't seem very good to open the curtain and barge in like this, so Zhan Zhao called out politely, "Is anyone there? Excuse me."

It's just that Zhan Zhao asked twice, but still no one answered, but the "clinking" sound of smashing irons did not stop.

Everyone was a little strange, could it be that the person who smashed the iron was deaf?

He had no choice but to barge in. Zhan Zhao's lightness skills were very good, he walked around the hut surrounded by black cloth, but couldn't find the entrance.

Ouyang saw an iron basin and a few hammers on the ground beside him, he reached out to pick them up and smashed them loudly, "Is there anyone who doesn't have it!"

……

Not to mention, as soon as there was a commotion, the sound of smashing and clanging inside the iron shop stopped.

After a long time, I saw the black cloth being pulled, and a person came out.

This man was wearing a thick cotton suit and an iron mask on his face, which was tied behind his head with a hemp rope. There were only two holes in the mask, and there were two eyeballs behind the holes, staring at everyone.

The three masters couldn't help but twitch their mouths with this black light and this shape - what a blacksmith with personality!

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao wanted to ask him something, but he saw that the other party reached out and took off his mask and cotton jacket. He was only wearing a single cloth shirt inside, which was already drenched with sweat.

Although it's not a hot day, but the weather is not cool, why wear so much?

The man's face was dark, and he went to the side to wash his face with some well water, and asked while wiping, "Who are you looking for?"

"Uh, let's find a blacksmith..." Ouyang said, staring at him.

This person is not young anymore, he must be about 50 or [-] years old, he is very energetic, with a strong figure, he seems to be an old blacksmith, but... why does Ouyang think he looks familiar?

The man washed his face, went into the room and took out a big cup, which seemed to be herbal tea. While drinking, he looked at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Ouyang Shaozheng's bright red head, and he said, "It's so tall Ah, it seems that I am really old."

……

Everyone was silent for a moment, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang watched Ouyang Shaozheng together - did you know each other?

Ouyang stared at him for a long time, suddenly remembered someone, opened his mouth in surprise, "You are Tan Jin?!"

……

Ouyang spoke, this time it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's turn to be surprised.

"Tan Jin?" Bai Yutang stared at him.

The man smiled, beckoned the three of them to come in and sit down, poured tea for them, very kindly.

Then he also sat down, "Why are you looking for me?"

Everyone looked at each other, as if pushing who should speak first.

Ouyang asked, "My lord is here, I want to ask you something, do you know something, strange hematite?"

Ouyang asked a hint, Tan Jin frowned slightly, and did not make a sound, but his face changed.He took another sip of water and asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "How about you two? What do you want from me?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "I came with Mr. Bao, but he was looking for you..." Then he pointed to Bai Yutang.

"Lord Bao..." Tan Jin smiled, "I really miss you." After speaking, he looked at Bai Yutang again, "I wish I didn't know you."

"I'm here to find Yang Caisheng's body." Bai Yutang asked, "Do you have any clues? It can be regarded as being killed by you."

Tan Jin frowned again, and opened his mouth as if hesitating for a while, but finally closed his mouth and sighed.

"I didn't kill Yang Caisheng, and I don't know exactly how he died." Tan Jin said, "He left after stabbing me, but I want to thank him, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have survived. "

Everyone frowned, seemingly puzzled.

"Back then, Yang Caisheng assassinated you and helped foreign spies. This was recorded in the verdict. How do you say there is no such thing?"

Zhan Zhao asked while looking at Bai Yutang - "Then who is that tattooed person?"

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled.

"The story back then is a long story." Tan Jin asked Ouyang Shaozheng a little puzzled, "What did you just say about hematite?"

Ouyang thought for a while and asked him, "Two years ago, Daofu Town produced a batch of hematite ore, and then something happened..."

"That batch of iron ore is useless!" Tan Jin interrupted Ouyang with a wave of his hand, "Why are you in a hurry to use iron ore? There is no war now, what are you using it for..."

"No, I just want to ask, did you help solve the matter back then?" Ouyang asked.

Tan Jin was silent for a moment, nodded, and then looked at Ouyang, "The Ninth Prince came all the way to Daofu Town, could it be that something happened in the army?"

Ouyang laughed dryly, "Master Tan is still as smart as ever."

Tan Jin waved his hand, "I am no longer Master Tan, but speaking of it, the matter of the hematite mine has something to do with Yang Caisheng's case."

Everyone was even more puzzled after hearing this. The two things are so far apart, how could they be brought together?

"Let's go." Tan Jin stood up, "I haven't seen Mr. Bao and the prince for many years. Going to pay a visit and explain the matter clearly may help."

"Oh, that would be the best." Ouyang stood up. Tan Jin turned off the lights and closed the door. Just as he was about to go out with Zhan Zhao and the others, Bai Yutang suddenly stretched out his hand to push him, and Zhan Zhao raised his hand to block the front with the giant gate... With two ding dings, two darts shining with blue light fell to the ground.

Everyone glanced at it and frowned—it was the kind of hidden weapon that attacked Zhao Pu before. It seemed...that group of men in black were ambushing nearby.

Ouyang rubbed his nose, and pouted at Bai Yutang, as if pointing to a certain direction in the forest—someone!

Seeing his expression, Bai Yutang raised his hand and flew out two black jade locust rocks, and heard two hums, and two men in black fell down from the bamboo forest.

Ouyang turned his head to look elsewhere again, and Bai Yutang wanted to take out the black jade flying locust stone, but was pulled by Zhan Zhao's sleeve.

Bai Yutang looked back at him.

Zhan Zhao seemed to shake his head in disapproval, then he took out a bag of things and handed it to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang opened it and saw that there was a bag of peanuts, the kind with snowflake candies, and looked at Zhan Zhao with some puzzlement.

Zhan Zhao took one and stuffed it into his mouth, then flicked it casually, which meant—to catch them all!

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he grabbed two handfuls of candies and threw them in a circle around the bamboo forest... After throwing them, at least a dozen people fell down.

"It's so useless!" Ouyang folded his arms and shook his head, "It's just such a little effort and I still have the face to attack."

"At this time, there seemed to be movement in the depths of the bamboo forest, but it disappeared quickly. It seems that there are still people in the dark who have already escaped."

"It's not too late, go back quickly." Ouyang tugged at Tan Jin, "Fortunately we came a step earlier, otherwise you will be in trouble!"

Tan Jin frowned slightly, "I have lived here for so many years, and no one knows who I am, and no one has ever troubled me. What's going on..."

Zhan Zhao moved quickly, and tapped the acupuncture points of the men in black on the ground.

Speaking of which, Zhan Zhao's acupuncture point is the same as his lightness kung fu, it is a unique skill, not only can his own acupuncture points move, but also lock them, generally those whose internal strength cannot reach the level of a master, once they are tapped by him, they can only obediently wait for him to come Untie the acupoint, otherwise no one will be able to untie it.

Without much delay, everyone hurried back to the Yamen.

Hearing that Tan Jin was found, Bao Zheng and Pang Ji were also surprised. When they came out to see, wasn't it the same Tan Jin back then.

Taishi Pang and Tan Jin were quite acquainted. He was very optimistic about this young man at first, and thought he had a bright future. Later, it was a pity that he made such a stupid mistake. But looking at it now, although Tan Jin is getting older, his spirit is better than before. better.

"The Grand Master is here?" Tan Jin was quite surprised, he bowed politely to Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang, and even more so when he saw Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu was strolling out from behind, and stepped forward to give him a hand... Recalling that he was a young man back then, and now his temples are graying, Zhao Pu rubbed his chin, thinking he should be in his 40s, why is he so vicissitudes ?It is a pity to hear that he is a blacksmith.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are outsiders and don't interfere much, but no matter how you look at it, they don't think Tan Jin looks like a thief stealing a knife.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhan Zhao took the opportunity to ask Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to take people to bring back those men in black in the bamboo forest. They were all alive and could speak before they committed suicide.

Taking another break, Zhan Zhao went over to Zhao Pu and asked, "How is it? Did Gongsun forgive you?"

The corner of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched twice, "Don't mention it."

"He won't forgive you?" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "No way, it's useless for the fourth son to plead for you?"

Zhao Pu looked at the sky, at this time, he saw Gongsun coming from behind with his fourth son in his arms, and the fourth son was holding a piece of sesame cake in his hand, as if he was hungry and got up for supper.

Seeing Gongsun smiling, Zhan Zhao seemed to be in a good mood, so he asked Zhao Pu, "How about I tell you something for you?"

Zhao Pu laughed, Zhan Zhao is really quite a friend, he is not too troublesome and he is not afraid of offending others, helping others to mediate misunderstandings, and now fewer and fewer people are willing to do this.

But what...

Zhao Pu shook his head, and said to Zhan Zhao, "I think it's basically impossible to save, so let's just leave it at that."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, Bai Yutang heard it from behind, and asked, "So serious?"

Seeing Gongsun approaching the door, Zhao Pu winked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and said in a low voice, "I'll do an experiment for you to see."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—what experiment?

Zhao Pu reached out and touched the head of the fourth son in Gongsun's arms, "Sir, do you want to eat late at night?"

"Yeah." Little Four nodded.

Zhao Pu then asked again, "Why don't you tell your father to eat, you see he is thin..."

Zhao Pu hadn’t pronounced the word “thin” fully when he heard Gongsun suddenly replying like a cannonball, “Who is so thin that he has no hands like two kinds of bean sprouts? ..."

Before Gongsun finished speaking, the fourth son reached out to cover his mouth, which was easy, obviously not the first time he did this.

Gongsun blinked, glared at Zhao Pu, carried the fourth son to the other side, and poured tea to moisten his throat.

Zhao Pu turned his head again, and saw Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Ouyang Shaozheng, the expressions of the three were unified, they all looked like this→-o-

Zhao Pu shook his head and left, Ziying came up to remind the two of them, "Then what, you are a scholar who is thin, quack, and useless... Forbidden words, forbidden words, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded together, the corners of Ouyang's mouth twitched, "Don't the legendary genius doctors heal themselves? Could it be that Gongsun Jihen is not some soldier with a broken leg but because the prince spoke ill of him?"

Ziying, Zheying and the little four who came to play with Zhan Zhao nodded together, "That's what happened!"

"By the way, Brother Bai." At this time, Gongsun drank the tea and ran over as if thinking of something.

Everyone hurriedly silenced and saluted him with smiles, "Mr. Gongsun."

Gongsun also smiled and waved his hands, and said, "The box with the human head you gave me just now..."

Zhan Zhao raised his hand, "I'll give it to you."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao said, "I'll let Mr. Gongsun test it."

Bai Yutang was a little curious, he was already a dry bone, how could he test it?

"The deceased was about 20 years old when he died. He was still very young. He died of illness." As Gongsun spoke, Bai Yutang frowned, "Sir, are you sure the test is correct?"

Gongsun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you doubt my medical skills?"

"No..." Zhan Zhao shook his head together with Bai Yutang.

Gongsun's expression softened, and he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, on which was a portrait of a person, "Hey, this is the face of that person, I heard Brother Zhan talk about that Yang Caisheng, and I think It's not like the same person... Have you been deceived?"

Bai Yutang took the drawing paper and looked at it, and asked Gongsun a little puzzled, "Can you draw a face just by looking at the bones?"

"Yes!" Gongsun nodded, "A person's appearance is determined by the skull. Give me a whole skeleton, and I can draw it naturally. I dare not say that it is exactly the same, but it is almost the same, at most the difference is a little fatter and thinner. "

After Bai Yutang finished reading, he shook his head, "Don't worry about being fat or thin, even if he adds ten or twenty years old, he's still not Yang Caisheng."

Zhan Zhao looked at Tan Jin who was talking to Bao Zheng and Pang Ji at the other end, and leaned over to ask Bai Yutang, "Tan Jin said that Yang Caisheng was not dispatched to the border, and he didn't know if he died. Could it be true?" of!"

"Then why did Yang Caisheng's daughter-in-law bring her head with her when she said this to my master before she died?"

Zhan Zhao shrugged, he didn't know about this.

At this time, everyone saw Bao Zheng waving at them, which meant that Tan Jin was about to say something, so everyone gathered around and listened patiently.

"Actually, I would steal knives back then. It can be said that I was obsessed with ghosts, or it could be said that I couldn't help myself."

"Can't help yourself?" Bao Zheng frowned, "Could someone force you?"

Tan Jin shook his head slightly, "It's not that someone is persecuting me, but something is persecuting me!"

"Something..." Everyone looked at each other, "What is it?"
