Chapter 966

Xu Qing said, "don't go out by yourself, or where can we go if we lose someone?"

Duanmu ring: "I haven't lost myself since I was young."

Xu Qing: "after all, this is not DAHAO. Who knows what the terrain is like outside. Moreover, this kind of climate is very dangerous in the forest. Maybe you will encounter a python."

It's normal to have a python in a rainforest.

Duanmu ring: "I know, I won't go out by myself. I will take the pavilion with me if I want to go."

Xu Qing knows what he means, which means that it doesn't matter if two people are lost. Anyway, as long as Xu Qing is here, Li Changting will take Duanmu ring into the space, and then she will go in and take them out.

Xu Qing was still worried: "don't go! In case of danger

Duanmu ring regretted: "OK."

After a short rest in the room, they went out to find Fu Xitang to see what he was doing. By the way, they asked about purchasing cocoa.

In front of the house, there is a row of tall wooden sheds. The top of the shed is very high, probably for fear that the fire in the stove will burn to the wood on the shed. Although the sun is blocked in the shed, the fire is burning very fast. Even if it's windy all around, it's too hot to bear when it's near.

Fu Xitang stood not far away from Shen Zhou, watching him strike iron while talking to him. He only said ten words, but Shen Zhou didn't reply.

Are they really friends?

Shen Zhou looks smaller than Fu Xitang, but Fu Xitang calls him brother Zhou. Does Shen Zhou just look young?

Xu Qinghui thinks that Shen Zhou is younger because he is short, Fu Xitang is more than half of a head, and he has a smaller physique. He is tender in appearance, but he has a cold temperament and a bit of arrogance. His momentum is two meters eight.

Xu Qing had a lot of problems in his stomach, so he took Fu Xitang away and went to the room to talk.

"What's the matter?" Fu Xitang asked sweating.

Xu Qing: "who is that Shen Zhou?"

Fu Xitang scratched his face: "it's complicated."

Xu Qing: "to be brief."

Fu Xitang looked at Li Changting and said, "I think you are the most familiar one."

Li Changting was stunned. He half hung his eyes and thought, "Shen Who is Shen Kai? "

Fu Xitang: "grandfather of Shen Zhou."

Li Changting: "I see."

Xu Qing's face is full of questions.

Li Changting said: "the Ordnance Department is a department specialized in manufacturing weapons, flags, military accounts and other military supplies for the imperial court. I have dealt with Shen Kai before, and I know some of his origins. This man was born in the river and lake. He was recruited by the imperial court because of his skill of striking iron. Later, Shen Kai rebelled with the king of Beiling, but the rebellion failed, and Shen Kai was also dismissed and beheaded. "

"At that time, the former Emperor was angry and wanted to implicate Shen Kai's family. However, Shen Kai had prepared for failure and sent all his family away ahead of time. The imperial court wanted Shen Kai's family for many years, but failed to catch them. It turned out that Shen Kai had fled overseas."

Fu Xitang: "I escaped when Lanzhou was recovered two years ago. Shen Kai's family has lived in Lanzhou for many years."

In the past, Lanzhou was not controlled by the imperial court. It was really a favorite place for criminals, because when they went there, it was like water flowing into the sea, and they could disappear without a trace.

Xu Qing: "now that the king of Beiling is all right, is Shen Kai's family still wanted?"

Fu Xitang: "of course not. When the new emperor ascends the throne, there will be a general amnesty. The Shen Zhou family has not been guilty for a long time. It's the freedom of others if they can't go back now."

Xu Qing: "then why did he stay here in such a bad environment..."

Fu Xitang: "Shen Zhou inherited the craftsmanship of his grandfather and father, and was crazy about weapons. He came to overseas to find iron ore materials suitable for forging."

Xu Qing doesn't know if it's his own illusion. Fu Xitang says that Shen Zhou's mood is rather resentful when he is crazy about weapons.

Generally, Shen Zhou is called a forger. The imperial court doesn't allow him to forge weapons in private. It's a big crime to be found.

After Lanzhou, the only place where Shen Zhou's family could hide, was accepted by the imperial court, the public security also caught up with other cities. It was obviously impossible for Shen Zhou to hide in Lanzhou to forge weapons.

Since you can't do it in your own country, did you go abroad?

Fu Xitang sighed and said in a low voice, "I just want to take him back this time. This place is too hot. It's not a human life."

Xu Qing: "but if you take him back, he won't be able to make weapons. They won't want to."

Fu Xitang: "quite unwilling."

Xu Qing looked at Li Changting next to him and suggested, "if you don't let him go to this department of weapons, he will be able to manufacture weapons openly."

Fu Xitang: "he won't like it, and I won't promise it. The Department of weapons is not a place for free. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of iron shops all over the country. As long as you keep a low profile and don't be found to be making weapons, it's nothing. "

Xu Qing's mouth twitched: "it's not good for you to bend the law in front of us so blatantly, isn't it?"Duanmu Xiang shook the fan in his hand and said impatiently: "you think too much. There are so many sects in the river and lake. Who didn't defend themselves with weapons? Since the imperial court allows them to exist, as long as they don't break the law, I don't care what you do."

Li Changting: "I still manage it. I can make it, but it can't be as casual as he is now. Sometimes when the military supplies are not enough, they can only buy weapons from the local area, so there are a lot of forging masters among the people, but they have to be registered in the government. It is impossible for them not to be wronged at all. "

Fu Xitang: "I understand all the reasons, so bringing you here can be regarded as a clear way for him. I can guarantee with my wealth that he will not harm the imperial court."

Xu Qing squints. Fu Xitang is too devoted to Shen Zhou. He is so devoted to the other party that he can't bear to be wronged. Has Shen Zhou ever saved Fu Xitang's life?

"By the way, how old is Shen Zhou?" Xu Qing asked curiously.

"Twenty four." Fu Xitang returned.

"You still call me brother? It doesn't matter how old you are. "

Fu Xitang was not happy: "he is only five years older. He is worth calling him brother."

Xu Qing: "OK, you can call it whatever you like. I just want to ask, where is the place to buy cocoa fruit and when will it start? This place is so hot, let's finish it early and go back early. "

Fu Xitang: "it takes more than an hour to go there. It's hotter in the afternoon. Let's go tomorrow morning."

Xu Qing: "yes, but how can so many cocoa fruits be transported by that time?"

Fu Xitang: "only cocoa beans are useful in cocoa fruit. Let's take a bag to collect cocoa beans. It's not easy to break after drying, is it?"

Xu Qing: "if the cocoa beans are dry enough, they can be kept for a long time. This is no problem."
