fore. More people mean more company. Er Ya, do you want to go"Er Ya heard this and immediately nodded, "I want to go!"Hu'er also widened his eyes to look at Qin Luo'yan, his smile even more guileless..."Well, just through this grove of trees and you'll be there." 。"Lao Liu pointed to the forest ahead and said, “The paths in this forest are only known to people like us who have been here for a long time. Others, even if they want to enter, can't.” 。“

As he said this, he jumped down from the carriage and started walking with his horse. Qin Luoyan originally wanted to get off and walk with him, but he warmly declined, telling her to stay in the carriage, showing her the utmost respect. This kind of consideration always wins people's favor. Qin Luoyan admired this honest Liu Lao even more.

Though the carriage was not large, it was still a carriage. One wonders how Old Liu remembered those small paths and managed to lead the carriage all the way through the forest. 。Qin Luoyan had learned about formations from the Tianji Pavilion, so she could guess that there were also formations in this forest. It's just that she had never had the opportunity to study them deeply on this side, so she wasn't very skilled at it. If it were someone like Fu Zimuo, I'm afraid he would be able to see through it at a glance. 。About half an hour later, the carriage passed through the forest and entered a wide open area. To Qin Luoyan's surprise, there were no clusters of buildings as she had imagined on this open land, but rather a very rudimentary "factory". 。The ground was surrounded by a wall two zhang high, and inside were rows of workshops, each about the size of half a football field. Even from a distance, one could hear the clang of metal being worked. 。She took another look at the surrounding terrain. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a long forest on one side. It was an excellent place to hide, and from its structure, sound was not easy to transmit. 。"Qin brother, don't look at this place seeming simple, actually inside it has all five viscera…" Lao Liu said as he gave Qin Luo a wink and a pat on the shoulder, laughing: "There's even a kiln, and the girls inside are pretty good too, big breasts, big butts, really soul-stirring..." 。"

“Uh…” Lao Liu’s grip tightened, the slap made Qin Luo'yan’s small frame tremble. She gave a wry smile, not wanting to continue the conversation

Seeing her timid appearance, Lao Liu laughed even harder, "I really can't tell, Brother Qin is still a shy guy" 。You're being shy now, but in a few days when you get desperate, you won't care about anything. 。We artisans are usually too lazy to leave our workshops. Staying here for so long makes us feel stifled. That's why someone specially opened a kiln here, otherwise, how could we rough old men stand it 。"

This benefit, Qin Luoyan is also drunk, the people on top really thought it through. " 。 "Lao Liu, you're back! Why are you moving so slowly Where's the stuff you were supposed to bring" 。A hunchbacked old man, acting as a reserve, saw Lao Liu and put down his hammer to run over. 。Lao Liu looked around, seeing that no one was nearby. He then stuffed a cloth bag from his arms into the old man's embrace, "Here you go, take it. When has Old Liu ever been unreliable when doing business" 。"By the way, I was away these past few days. What's new at the workshop"The old man quietly opened his bag, took a peek, and smiled from ear to ear, obviously pleased. He then said, "What could be new It's just those old, stale things... Oh, right, yesterday that new artisan got praised by Master Li. Master Li even invited him for a drink." 。 Lao Liu and that old man chatted for a few more words after, then led Qin Luoyan inside. However, their faces were not as good as before. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he whispered: "Wuhou said your goal is to get close to Mr. Li and gain his appreciation. Judging from the current situation, that awakened craftsman is your biggest rival. In just a few months, the newcomer has been charming Mr. Li. Brother Qin, your task is not easy." 。"That Li... is the one in charge of purchasing, then" Qin Luoyan couldn't help but inquire. 。Old Liu nodded. "Yes, that's him. But don't be fooled by the fact that he only handles purchases. In this weapons workshop, his status is second only to the Minister. Everyone else treats him with utmost respect." 。“ A purchasing manager, someone who can garner so much respect from others, just goes to show how valuable that dowry of silver must be. ” 。Old Liu brought Qin Luoyan to a courtyard not far from the main gate. There were about ten rooms in the courtyard. After he went in and negotiated with the servants of the courtyard, the servant gave him a key. 。Brother Qin, just stay in this 。This time, there are about ten people participating in the assessment, but it's not bad if only one or two can stay in the end. 。But the Marquis said you're definitely fine, and I, Lao Liu, believe you will surely come out on top. 。Today, you should rest. Don't go out at night. You are not part of the weapon workshop yet. If you run around and get caught by patrolling soldiers, they might think you are a spy and deal with you. 。Old Liu gave a few more instructions before leaving. 。Qin Luoyan put away her own greetings and walked out of the room. She saw that several young people had already gathered in the courtyard chatting. She hesitated for a moment, then walked towards them. 。Those few people were apparently also here to participate in the assessment. Seeing him walk over, the few people were also very enthusiastic and immediately introduced themselves one by one. They didn't have the tense atmosphere that competitors would usually have. 。Qin Luo'yan chatted with them for a while before discovering that most people were drawn to the weapons workshop because of its high pay. It makes sense, after all, who would be willing to come to this kind of place without a good price However, when they mentioned the pay, Qin Luo'yan was still quite surprised. If she became a craftsman here, her monthly stipend would be equivalent to that of a sixth-rank official. 。Such a reward would naturally attract capable craftsmen among the common folk. 。However, this also shows the importance of the artisan industry to the entire country. 。From the conversations among them, Qin Luoyan also got a general idea. The most capable person who stayed behind was a craftsman surnamed Zhang. That craftsman was already at the silver smith level, and his skills had been recognized by many of his peers. 。When others talked, they couldn't help but express their admiration and respect for this craftsman surnamed Zhang. 。However, Qin Luoyan remembered a saying: where there is competition, there is a world of martial arts, and there is an uncontrollable bloodshed. 。Even the most skilled artisans understand the importance of discretion. This Zhang craftsman is being too naive, revealing his true abilities before even understanding the situation. She couldn't help but feel a surge of worry for him. 。As it turned out, Qin Luoyan's worries were not unfounded. That night, as she was sound asleep, she heard a painful moan coming from the next room. The voice was very low, and she could only hear it vaguely. But in an unfamiliar place, her sleep had always been light, so she still heard it. 。

Doesn't she live next to that carpenter surnamed Zhang
