When Li Bing appeared in front of everyone, Madam Dou and the others were relieved. The guards also relaxed.
Li Bing slowly walked in, and Li Xiu Ning had sharp eyes. She saw something furry in Li Bing's arms at a glance, and immediately pointed at Li Bing and shouted,"Third Brother, what's that? Show it to me ~"
Li Bing smiled helplessly. Li Xiu Ning's eyesight was really good. She could see it from so far away. He didn't want to be tortured by Li Xiu Ning again, so he quickly took out the little tiger cub in his arms.
"Ah, what a cute kitten ~" Li Xiu Ning saw Li Bing take out a fluffy kitten, and her heart was filled with love. She liked it very much, and her eyes turned into stars. Then, she wanted to snatch the little tiger cub.
"Be careful, this is not a kitten. This is a little white tiger cub that I picked up from the mountains just now!”Li Bing was afraid that Li Xiu Ning would be in danger, so she quickly said to her. When Li Xiu Ning heard that he was holding a tiger cub, she shrank back in fear. However, when she saw the cute and harmless appearance of the tiger cub, her curiosity eventually overcame her fear. She trembled as she took the tiger cub from Li Bing's hands and hugged it. When the tiger cub saw that it was being carried by another person, it first opened its eyes and cried out. Then, it smacked its lips and closed its eyes to sleep.
"Wow, kawaii ~" Li Xiuning's eyes were so thick that they seemed like they were about to drip.
Li Bing went to Madam Dou's side and told the girls what had happened in front of her. Only then did the girls know that the little tiger cub that Li Bing had brought back had been entrusted to be an orphan. At that moment, they all wanted to adopt it as a pet, especially Li Xiu Ning. She held the little tiger cub in her arms and refused to let go. No one wanted to hold it. Fortunately, everyone was used to Li Xiu Ning's devilish personality and let her torment it. With the support of the girls, this little tiger cub officially became a member of the Li family. Li Xiuning named him "White Light".
After resolving this incident, Lady Dou and her group arrived at Taiyuan Prefecture three days later. When they arrived at the new Li Mansion in Taiyuan Prefecture, the family members they had not seen for half a month held their first family name wearing ceremony and banquet in Taiyuan Prefecture. During the meeting, the participants had a cordial conversation and exchanged their feelings and experiences on this long-distance self-driving tour. Li Bing also learned about the assassination from Li Yuan. With Li Bing's grasp of this history, how could he not know that it was Yang Guang who was behind it? However, what surprised him the most was Qin Qiong's appearance. He did not expect that the history that should have been changed because of his transmigration would return to normal. What changed was only time. He could not help but praise the strong ability of history to correct mistakes.
Through this long journey, Li Bing finally realized how important a weapon was in this era. He finally made up his mind to forge a weapon that belonged to him.
There were a lot of messy things to do when he first arrived in Taiyuan. He had to clean up the house, arrange the rooms, meet with the gentry and bureaucrats of Taiyuan, and so on. Li Bing also had to go to the village outside the city to settle the cavalrymen of his own team, as well as a lot of things to do in De Bing Hall during this period of time. He was so busy that half a month had passed.
After he was done with these things, Li Bing finally had time to get his hands on weapons. Early in the morning, he rode the Fire Jade Kylin out of the house and arrived at the largest blacksmith shop in Taiyuan.
Master Sun of the blacksmith shop was a famous blacksmith in the Central Plains. He learned to forge at the age of twelve. Now that he was sixty, he had produced countless famous unique weapons. Now that he was old, he basically did not forge much. He just watched his grandson enjoy the joy of family at home.
Master Sun, who had woken up early this morning, was sitting on a rattan chair at the door with a pot of tea in his hands. He listened to the chirping of the birds and squinted his eyes to bask in the rising sun. He was so relaxed that he felt very uncomfortable. Occasionally, he would hold the pot and take a sip. He was so satisfied that even the wrinkles on his face were curved into curved arcs.
" Ta ta ta." A rush of horse hooves entered Master Sun's ears, disturbing his leisure. He opened his eyes in anger, wanting to see who was disturbing his elegant mood in the early morning. A cloud of dark dust floated in the place where his gaze was fixed. It was known that Taiyuan City was relatively clean. It was not easy to raise such a large cloud of dust. Blacksmith Sun narrowed his eyes, wanting to see what could cause such a scene.
The loud sound of hooves got closer and closer. Soon, a white horse appeared in Blacksmith Sun's field of vision. However, there was a circle of flames in its running hooves. It was a strange sight. Blacksmith Sun's eyes widened. When the horse ran closer, he suddenly realized that the flame was actually the hair on the horse's leg.
The horse came to Blacksmith Sun's side in a flash. The person on the horse reined it in. The horse stood up with its front hooves, but the person on the horse seemed to have extraordinary riding skills. He tightened the stirrups and stood up slightly. Then, he sat back on the saddle as the horse landed.
Blacksmith Sun had seen countless famous people and horses. Today, he saw this white horse with red hoofs. He couldn't help but be amazed. It was a rare horse. Blacksmith Sun felt that the famous horses he had seen before were nothing more than donkeys and mules. His aged body was like a taut spring as he stood up with a "swoosh". He didn't even notice that the teapot had fallen to the ground. He didn't care who was sitting on the horse. He just circled around the horse that had stopped and looked at it carefully. He couldn't stop sighing.
" Excuse me, sir…" Li Bing saw that he had been ignored by Hua Li. Ever since the old man below saw his horse, he had been circling around his horse in a daze, ignoring him. He was really impatient, so he could only ask," Excuse me, sir, is this the famous Sun's Ironforge in the Central Plains?"”
"Ah, ah?" Li Bing's question finally pulled Blacksmith Sun back to the real world. Blacksmith Sun then noticed the person riding on the horse. Today, Li Bing was wearing a scholar's green robe and a scholar's head cloth. He was dressed like a scholar. This kind of dress made Li Bing, who was originally not very handsome, have a refined air about him. He looked very handsome. When Blacksmith Sun saw that the owner of such a fine steed was only a middle-aged scholar, his original excitement disappeared. He returned to his old appearance and slowly replied,"This little brother has found the right person. This is Sun Ji's blacksmith shop.”Then, he slowly returned to his rattan chair and sat down. When he saw the broken teapot on the ground, his heart ached.
Li Bing jumped off his horse and cupped his fists at Blacksmith Sun.""May I ask this old man, I heard that the craftsmanship of Master Sun of Sun Ji's iron shop is exquisite and can be said to be superb. I wonder where Master Sun is now? Please give me some pointers!"
When Blacksmith Sun heard this, he knew that he was here to forge ironware again. He lost interest and no longer looked at Li Bing. He just leaned back on the rattan chair and replied lazily,"I am Blacksmith Sun!"
When Li Bing saw that the unattractive old man in front of him was actually the person he was looking for, he was very happy and quickly bowed again."So this old man is the famous Master Sun. I want to forge a weapon, so I would like to ask Master Sun for help!”
Blacksmith Sun hadn't been forging for many years. Now, the ones doing the work were his son and a few workers. He waved at Li Bing and said,"Little brother, you came at the wrong time. I haven't held a hammer for many years. Forgive me for not being able to satisfy your request.”
Li Bing saw Blacksmith Sun's intention to shirk and hurriedly said,"" I don't lack money. I only trust Master Sun's craftsmanship. Moreover, the weapon I want to make is not something that ordinary blacksmiths can make. If Master Sun can do it personally, I'm willing to pay an additional 500 strings of coins, so..."
Only then did Blacksmith Sun raise his head. Li Bing's price made him very tempted. One had to know that at this time, one could usually buy 20 dans of rice. This 500 strings of money was almost equivalent to the millions of family property in the future. It was impossible to say that he was not tempted. Moreover, Li Bing said that only he could forge weapons, which also aroused his curiosity."I wonder what kind of weapon this little brother wants to forge. You need this old man to personally fight?”
Li Bing smiled and took out a blueprint. Blacksmith Sun took a look and said disdainfully,"It's just a Heavenly Halberd. Why would I need this old man? You'd better look for my son and the others. Forgive this old man for not having the chance to get your money!”Blacksmith Sun closed his eyes in disappointment. After all, losing 500 strings of coins was very painful. However, as a capable craftsman, he still had the dignity to not lower himself to make ordinary objects.
"If it was an ordinary Heavenly Halberd, Master Sun wouldn't have to do anything!”Li Bing saw Blacksmith Sun's expression and smiled,""Although the Heavenly Halberd I want to make doesn't look much different from ordinary halberds, it's special because I want it to be heavy. It has to be at least 500 pounds!”
Blacksmith Sun was shocked when he heard Li Bing's words. 500 jin? Was this still a weapon for a human? He opened his eyes and looked at Li Bing in disbelief."500 catties? This little brother isn't trying to make this old man happy, is he? I wonder who wants to use it? This isn't a weapon for humans!"
Li Bing bowed slightly." That's right, kid. I hope Master Sun can personally take action!"”Blacksmith Sun looked at the weak scholar in front of him in disbelief.
Li Bing didn't say anything when he saw this. He walked straight to the front of a stone beast at the entrance of the blacksmith shop. The stone beast looked like a lion, but it wasn't. Because weapons were lethal weapons, the ancients thought it was unlucky. Therefore, some big iron shops had a pair of stone beasts next to the furnace to suppress luck. Li Bing held one of the stone beast's hollow legs with both hands and used strength to lift the stone beast from the ground. Then, he lifted it up with one hand.
Although the stone beast wasn't big, it was at least seven hundred jin. Li Bing actually lifted it up with one hand. Blacksmith Sun's mouth was wide open, his face filled with disbelief.
Li Bing lifted the stone beast and walked in front of Blacksmith Sun. His face was not red and he was not panting. It was as if he was holding a ball of cotton. Looking at Blacksmith Sun who had crashed, Li Bing smiled and said,"Master Sun, do you believe me now?"
Only then did Blacksmith Sun wake up from his petrification. He hurriedly said,"I believe you, I believe you. Young Master, don't worry. I will definitely forge the best for you. Coincidentally, I just got a piece of Star Iron a few days ago. It's extremely hard and heavy. I just happened to forge it for you. Young Master, please tell me the exact shape you want." Blacksmith Sun politely greeted Li Bing while thinking.'Good heavens, such a young age and such great strength. What a freak. Don't leave my old bones here with a fire. It's better to agree to him!'
Li Bing smiled again and followed Blacksmith Sun into the room. When he reached the furnace, he casually threw the stone beast in the same place as before. With a loud bang, the earth shook and the smithing furnace immediately kicked up a cloud of dust.
