"This…I really don't have any." Ma Xiao Shuai laughed dryly, thinking about what Wei Ting wanted to do.
"Then come to my place to eat. I'll treat you to a drink.”Wei Ting said with a smile, still maintaining that intimate posture.
The shivering Ma Xiaoshuai's smile froze, and he subconsciously wanted to decline.
"Big Brother is sincere. If you don't go, then are you looking down on me?”Seemingly seeing through Ma Xiao Shuai's intentions, Wei Ting rushed to block his escape route. He said this with anger, and the way he addressed Ma Xiao Shuai changed from brother to big brother. It seemed like they were really close.
"This…Alright." Speaking of this, Ma Xiaoshuai could only agree.
"Let's go then." Wei Ting said as he put his arm around Ma Xiao Shuai's shoulder, almost dragging him out.
"Brother Wang, let's go together." Yes, it would be safer to have a companion.
"What? "I…this…" Wang Cheng looked at Ma Xiaoshuai and then looked at Lord Wei. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated. His expression was awkward.
"Then let's go together." Wei Ting looked at Wang Cheng, his expression was still cold. Although he seemed to have accepted Ma Xiaoshuai, who had shown some performance, he still didn't have a good expression towards Wang Cheng.
"Then…Alright then." Wang Cheng looked at Ma Xiaoshuai, who was trying to signal him with his eyes, and followed him with a strange expression.
At this moment, Wei Ting suddenly turned around and instructed Teng Yun and Duan Chengzhi,""Don't just stand there. Let's get to work."
"Yes." The crowd quickly responded and watched the three of them leave.
"Lord Zhang, come often in the future." Duan Chengzhi suddenly shouted at Ma Xiaoshuai, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Sure," Ma Xiaoshuai replied readily. In fact, he was waiting for this sentence.
The crowd watched as the three people walked out of the cave entrance. Their eyes strangely fell on Ma Xiao Shuai, who was the least obvious among them. Because of his extraordinary performance earlier, this group of men who regarded weapons as their lives accepted him from the bottom of their hearts. They did not hide their deep admiration. At this moment, Ma Xiao Shuai, who seemed weak and weak, seemed incomparably tall. Even his back was a little stronger than Wei Ting's.
When the three of them had completely disappeared from their sight, the crowd withdrew their respectful gazes and dispersed in twos and threes. However, the topic of conversation still revolved around Ma Xiaoshuai and his design, while Teng Yun and Duan Chengzhi walked together in tacit understanding.
"Shall we perfect those two weapons and forge them?”Duan Chengzhi asked Teng Yun.
"Mhm, you guys can do some research on that side, and then we'll be responsible for forging it."
"Then…then should we report today's matter to the deputy director?”Duan Chengzhi asked hopefully.
"No." Teng Yun said very straightforwardly.
"Why?"
"There's no need to report to the deputy director, but I'll directly inform…His Highness!”
…………
On the other side, Ma Xiaoshuai and the other two were walking back to the tent. Along the way, this guy called Wei Ting kept asking Ma Xiaoshuai questions, as if he was an intimate brother. That warm smile and gentle tone made Ma Xiaoshuai uncomfortable, and goosebumps appeared all over his body. Although this guy was strong, it was inevitable that he would have a hobby of short sleeves.
Wang Cheng, who was walking alone at the back, remained silent. His brows were tightly furrowed as if he was thinking about something.
"Brother Zhang, can you tell me…which family are you from?”Wei Ting asked as he put his arm around Ma Xiao Shuai's shoulder.
"Oh, my parents died early." Ma Xiaoshuai replied absentmindedly.
"Oh?" Wei Ting raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Uh…Actually, I'm actually the son-in-law of the Dongfang family.”Ma Xiaoshuai came back to his senses.
"The East? "As far as I know, only the old prime minister's family has the surname Dongfang…" Wei Ting said thoughtfully.
"En, that's right. I married the granddaughter of the old Prime Minister.”Ma Xiaoshuai relaxed his shoulders, and when he mentioned Dongfang Xueyu, the corners of his mouth curled up. There was a saying that a little absence was better than a new love. After all, they had just gotten married, and their relationship was still in the honeymoon period. Although they had not left for long, it was inevitable that they would miss each other from time to time.
"Is it really Lord Prime Minister?" Wei Ting revealed a surprised expression, the way he looked at Ma Xiao Shuai changed again.
"Uh…yes, what's wrong with Lord Wei?”Ma Xiaoshuai asked.
" This... nothing, nothing." Wei Ting shook his head awkwardly and ended the topic.
As they spoke, the three of them walked to the northwest corner of the camp, where Wei Ting lived alone.
"Alright, we're here." Wei Ting said as he walked in with Ma Xiaoshuai in his arms. The tent was very big, but there were not many things. Besides the necessary table and bed, there were just three chairs. However, what surprised Ma Xiaoshuai was that there were quite a lot of weapons collected here. There were a dozen kinds of weapons and a few sets of armor in the corner. Some of them were old from so far away. It seemed that they were collected.
"Come, come, sit." Wei Ting pulled Ma Xiaoshuai to sit down, poured a cup of tea and handed it over. He still ignored Wang Cheng, who was at the side, as before.
"Thank you, Lord Wei." Ma Xiaoshuai took the cup and looked at Wang Cheng, who had been silent all this while. He couldn't ignore him, so he poured a cup and handed it over. The latter reached out to take it and gave him a grateful look. Then, he lowered his head and continued to remain silent.
At this moment, a small soldier dressed like a cooks 'head soldier walked in with food and wine in his hand. He was probably here to deliver food.
"My lord!" When the soldier saw Wei Ting, he immediately half-knelt on the luggage.
" Get up. Go prepare some food and wine," Wei Ting said with a smile. He seemed to be in a good mood.
The soldier put down the food and wine, bowed and left.
Because the bowl and chopsticks were only prepared for one person, Wei Ting was also embarrassed to start first. Fortunately, he chatted with Ma Xiaoshuai again. Not long after, the soldier appeared again. The tray in his hand was full, and there were two more pots of wine.
"Come, come, let's drink first." Wei Ting straightforwardly opened the bowl and poured one or two bowls.
"Alright, cheers." Ma Xiaoshuai poured two bowls for himself and Wang Cheng. The three of them raised their glasses and drank it all.
In the next few days, the poor Wang Cheng was drinking, while Ma Xiao Shuai and Wei Ting were in a different kind of enthusiastic atmosphere. This general level character who had been fighting for more than ten years would occasionally mention some things on the battlefield. This undoubtedly made Ma Xiao Shuai, who was extremely curious about the military power and large-scale battles of this era, very interested. The two of them drank while eating, and time passed quickly.
After three rounds of drinking, Ma Xiaoshuai gradually became a little tipsy, while Wei Ting's face was not red and he was not panting. His alcohol tolerance was obviously not bad.
"Brother Zhang, I have a request.”Wei Ting suddenly put down his bowl and looked at Ma Xiao Shuai.
"Hmm? If Lord Wei has something to say, just say it." Ma Xiaoshuai thought to himself and immediately sobered up.
At this moment, Wei Ting looked at Wang Cheng, the meaning in his eyes was very obvious.
Ma Xiaoshuai was so embarrassed that he didn't say anything. Wang Cheng quickly understood Wei Ting's meaning.
"Lord Wei, Brother Zhang, I'm a little tired.”Wang Cheng stood up to resign. He had wanted to leave for a long time, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Mhm, rest if you're tired." As the host, Wei Ting didn't have the slightest intention of asking him to stay.
"Alright, I will take my leave."
After Wang Cheng left, Ma Xiao Shuai looked at Wei Ting and didn't say anything.
"Brother Zhang, I actually have a teacher who loves weapons.”Wei Ting was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something, but he hesitated. It was not in line with his usual forthright character. It was obvious that he had a request for talent.
Ma Xiaoshuai, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly understood. It seemed that Wei Ting was here for the weapons that he had designed. But thinking about it, he felt that it was not right. Because according to his thoughts, Teng Yun and Duan Chengzhi would definitely forge those two weapons immediately. After they succeeded, they would definitely mass produce a portion. As a commandant, it was not difficult for Wei Ting to own a few. Moreover, Wei Ting was familiar with the Deputy Secretary, so there was no need for him to ask.
Looking at Ma Xiao Shuai who was deep in thought, Wei Ting drank the wine and continued,""Brother Zhang, you might not know this, but my teacher is even more obsessed with weapons than I am. I only like peerless weapons like famous sabers and swords, but my teacher is different. He only collects weapons for collection and will not use them. In other words, the requirements for the weapons he collects are very high. The rarer, the weirder, and the more exquisite they are, the more he likes them.”
Speaking of this, Ma Xiaoshuai could directly hit the wall if he didn't understand.
It turned out that Wei Ting was here for the flick knife.
" So... Brother Zhang..." Wei Ting looked at Ma Xiaoshuai, who had a change in expression, and hesitated.
"Haha, Lord Wei, I was wondering what it was. It's fine, it's fine.”In fact, Ma Xiao Shuai had always wanted to befriend Wei Ting since last night. Perhaps this flick blade was an extremely exquisite weapon in Teng Yun and Wei Ting's eyes, but it was worthless in his eyes. If he wanted to, he could have more. At this time, using this one to befriend such a powerful commandant was undoubtedly a win-win situation. Of course, for Ma Xiao Shuai, as long as Wei Ting got this flick blade, it would be equivalent to owing him a favor in the future. No matter what, it was a very worthwhile transaction, so why not?
"Does Brother Zhang agree?" Wei Ting asked with a happy expression, his eyes shining with splendor.
"Agree. It's not like it's anything valuable.”Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and nodded.
Wei Ting laughed loudly and said to Ma Xiaoshuai: "Lord Zhang, I will remember this favor!”
"Hey, why do you say that?" Although he was happy, Ma Xiaoshuai showed a displeased look," Lord Wei, if you want to talk about favors or not, then you are treating me as an outsider. This thing is not something valuable. It is just a gift to get to know Lord Wei. How would I dare to ask for favors?"”
"Ah? Yes, yes, yes, I was calculative. It was my fault, it was my fault. I will punish myself by drinking three cups as an apology.”Wei Ting smiled awkwardly and poured three big bowls. He cupped his hands at Ma Xiao Shuai and drank one bowl after another without any regard for others.
Ma Xiao Shuai shook his head with a bitter smile, secretly thinking that Wei Ting was indeed a forthright person.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoshuai took out the spring-sized sword from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"Lord Wei, take it."
"Hey, hey." Wei Ting smiled as he took it and studied it seriously.
Ma Xiaoshuai, who was secretly amused, took it from Wei Ting's puzzled eyes," Lord Wei, look carefully."”
Pa!
As soon as he finished speaking, the blade of the flick knife bounced out and was closed by Ma Xiaoshuai again, causing Wei Ting's eyes to widen.
"Brother Zhang, tell me what to do.”Wei Ting grabbed it anxiously and fumbled with the short dagger.
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and pointed at the mechanism at the end of the blade,""See that protruding place? Press it and it will pop out."
Pa!
"Aiya, it's really good. It's really exquisite, really exquisite.”Wei Ting revealed a child-like look of surprise and was full of praise. He clumsily closed the switch knife and pressed the button to open it. He repeated this repeatedly and was full of interest." I think my teacher will definitely like this thing. By the way, Lord Zhang, who is your mysterious friend? How could he make such an exquisite weapon?"”
