C180 New Hook

Duan Tianya said calmly, "I knew it was you guys. " Then he shouted at the door, "How long does the one with the sword in his left hand plan to stand at the door?" Meng Chong leisurely walked in from behind the door. Duan Tianya looked at him. He teased, "If I didn't know you before, no one would have thought that you were a killer in the past. "

After Meng Chong sat down, he grabbed a teacup and said, "The people and things around can change a person. Besides, I'm not the only one who has changed. Tang Wuhua has also completely changed. "

Duan Tianya smiled and drank a cup of tea. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Hou Jian, the heavenly hook. Hou Jian did not say a word after entering the room, and his face did not show any expression. Those who did not know him would definitely think that it was Hou Jian, the heavenly hook. He was a person who didn't understand the world.

However, Duan Tianya understood Hou Jian. Although they didn't know each other yet, they still didn't know each other. Perhaps only Duan Tianya knew Hou Jian's temperament the best. Hou Jian walked up to Duan Tianya. In his right hand was the broken hook, and in his left hand was a small bag.

Xuan Zhengchen followed Hou Jian into the room as soon as Hou Jian entered. Duan Tianya smiled and teased, "If you want to drink. . . This place doesn't seem to be the ideal place. "

Xuan Zhengchen looked a little embarrassed and said, "I want to discuss with Duan about going to Golden Snake Hall. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Are you so sure that Xiao Chen is not the murderer of Xuan Peng?"

"If he is guilty, he will not wait for us in Maple Leaf Forest. "

"Maybe he is playing cat-and-mouse?"

Xuan Zhengchen said firmly and decisively. I will not believe anyone else. Only Xiao Chen said that he didn't kill Peng'er, but he didn't kill Peng'er. "

Duan Tianya said, "When do you plan to go to Golden Snake Hall?"

Xuan Zhengchen said, "We will stay here for two days. We will leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow. "

However, Duan Tianya needed to do one thing first, and that was to accompany Hou Jian to make a long hook. He did not understand why Hou Jian wanted him to accompany him. Perhaps even Hou Jian himself did not know why.

The two of them went to a blacksmith shop with good business. Seven or eight people inside wielded iron hammers and forged red iron. The old master put the red iron into the water and clearly heard the sound of water splashing.

Duan Tianya went forward and asked, "Who is the master here?"

At this time, a strong blacksmith wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Duan Tianya looked at Hou Jian and found that he did not intend to speak. He handed the bag to Duan Tianya and opened it. It was some silver taels. Duan Tianya took the long hook from Hou Jian's hand and handed it to the blacksmith. He said, "Please follow the original and make another long hook. "

The blacksmith took the broken long hook and looked it up and down. "How much silver taels do you plan to spend?"

Hou Jian could not help but ask, "What's the difference?"

Shinobu said, "The amount of silver you pay depends on whether the iron is good or bad. "

Hou Jian did not say anything else. Although he was not good with words and did not smile or smile, he knew that he did not bring much silver. Although Xuan Zhengchen was rich, he also knew that his brothers had to settle accounts clearly.

The blacksmith saw that he was in a difficult position, so he smiled and said: "Customers, you can come in and take a look. "

Looking at the various weapons hanging on the wall, Hou Jian looked around. When he saw an iron base in the corner, his eyes lit up. He looked like he wanted to say something but stopped himself. Duan Tianya saw him.

Duan Tianya fiddled with the iron base with his hand and asked, "Master, what's with this piece of iron?"

The blacksmith smiled and said, "This iron has been here for seven or eight years. Our shop assistant will use it to smelt and forge it. Don't underestimate this piece of iron. Just this piece of iron sand costs no less than 500 kilograms. "

"It can still be considered a top grade metal that has been tempered hundreds and thousands of times. "

"Of course. " The blacksmith patted his chest and guaranteed.

Duan Tianya asked, "How many days will it take to forge this long hook?"

The blacksmith said, "Just a little bit of work. One day will do. Our customer can rest assured. "

"How much silver do you need?" Hearing this, the blacksmith said with slight hesitation: "The price is naturally quite high. From the looks of the bags in your hands, the silver in them should not be enough. "

Hou Jian turned around and was about to leave when Duan Tianya stopped him. He asked the blacksmith, "Name your price. "

The blacksmith thought about it and reached out his hand to point twice. Hou Jian could not help but exclaim, "That much?"

The blacksmith said, "Every penny. "

Hou Jian's face was red. He turned around and left without looking back.

The next morning, as he breathed in the cool air for the first time, the inn was about to open. Tieniu was sitting on the first floor, holding a few buns in his hands and stuffing them into his mouth. Xue Kang and Meng Chong looked at him with their eyes fixed on him.

Hou Jian walked down from the second floor. When he saw them, he asked, "Did you see Brother Xuan and the others?"

Meng Chong replied. "Hero Xuan brought his men out early in the morning. He said he wanted to find out the whereabouts of Hou Jian, the harpoon, and the Nine-Life Cat, Bai Sheng. " As they were talking, three people suddenly appeared outside the door. Hou Jian took a look and saw that it was the blacksmith's master.

The blacksmith held a long hook in his hand. After entering, he asked, "Which one is Hero Hou?"

"I am!"

The blacksmith looked at him and smiled. "We have met. " As he spoke, he handed the hook over to him.

Hou Jian was a little suspicious. "For me?"

The blacksmith nodded and said, "Your friend has already paid silver taels. "

"The one who went with me?"

"Yes!" As the blacksmith spoke, he took a sword from the clerk behind him. He then took out a small ingot of silver from his pocket and placed it on the table. He said to the shopkeeper at the counter, "This amount of silver is enough to buy your table. " After saying that, he fiercely swung his sword and cut off a corner of the table. Then, he asked, "How about this sword?"

Meng Chong said, "Not bad!"

The blacksmith said to Hou Jian, "Hero Hou, try using your long hook. "

Hou Jian held the long hook and slashed at the blacksmith's sword. With a cracking sound, the sword was split into two. The sword was cut in half at the same time. Seeing this, the blacksmith pulled out another treasured sword from the shop assistant behind him. He cut it at the other corner of the table, but it was also cut off in an orderly manner. After that, he inserted the sword into the table and said to Hou Jian, "Hero Hou. Please!"

Hou Jian held the long hook and put it on the sword. He pulled it back and the sword was broken at the waist. The hook blade was not damaged at all. Even Hou Jian could not help looking at the long hook with love in his eyes. But after a moment, he threw the long hook on the table and said, "No merit, no reward. "

"I have already signed the promissory note for you. This is only the silver that I lent you. I did not say I would give it to you. " Everyone saw Duan Tianya slowly walking down the stairs with a promissory note in his hand.

Duan Tianya placed the receipt on the table and said to Hou Jian, "Draw a bet on it. This weapon is yours. "
