Chapter 47: Golden nanmu bow

When Zhen Liuqi heard this, he was a little puzzled, and at the same time he was a little curious. He didn't know what the tragedy happened after the Weisheng met Minshuai. If he continued to listen, the officials from Kyoto no longer mentioned any official duties during the conversation. They were all talking about the beautiful kiln sisters in which place, the tempting food in which place, and no more useful information.

The two of them ate and drank for a while. Zhen Liuqi noticed someone was kicking his toes lightly. When he looked up, Dongye Weimin winked at him, then stood up together, went downstairs to check out, and left the Hongfu Restaurant.

The two of them came to the street and walked to a secluded alley. Zhen Liuqi asked in a low voice: "Who are these people just now? Do you know them? It seems that they are here to find you, Brother Jia?"

Higashino nodded and said, "They are from the Neiwei Mansion. According to their words, the centurion who came to Mohe to lead the team was Huyan. However, I don't know them, and I can tell the identity from their official uniforms."

Only then did Zhen Liuqi realize the meaning of Dongye nodding in the restaurant, and then shook his head: He knew what these people were, but he didn't know them.

Dongye Weimin said again: "These people are looking for me, probably because they want me to go back to Beijing and continue to be an official, but I don't want to. Therefore, Brother Zhen, you have to help me keep it a secret and you can't let these people find me!"

Zhen Liuqi nodded and agreed, "What should I do now? I need to leave here quickly."

Higashino Weimin said: "You have to leave early, but before leaving, you need to go to the weapons shop first and buy a hunting bow and a few sets of arrow branches. The journey is too far, so don't encounter wolves again."

.

The weapons shops were concentrated in the west of the city. Before lunch, they had already found out when they arrived at the city from the east gate. They set out to head towards the west city.

The two of them took a short walk between the shops in Xicheng and saw a large shop with a black plaque above the door, with three golden characters "Bingrenfang" written on it, which was antique and looked like an old-fashioned weapon shop.

Higashino Weimin couldn't help but smile. The "Bing" weapon was originally a murderous weapon, while the meaning of "Ren" refers to people's friendship, help, sympathy, etc. The meaning of the two is completely opposite. The name of this store actually puts the two contradictory together, which is interesting. Maybe it was named after the homonym of "Bing Ren" of "Bing Ren". While thinking about it, he walked in.

The two entered the store and it was very spacious. They were divided into several display areas, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, whips, maces, hammers, sticks, and crutches. The two were originally soldiers and were naturally interested in weapons, so they were very interested in them.

After a while, a waiter came over and asked with a smile, "What do you two brothers need?" As he spoke, he quietly looked at the outfits of the two and the hunting fork guns in his hands.

Zhen Liuqi said, "Do you have bows and arrows here?"

"Two brothers, please come here!" The waiter let the two of them into a display area inside, which showed various bows and arrows.

The waiter picked up a willow ox horn bow and said endlessly: "The shooting power of this willow ox horn bow is just one stone. Its advantage is that it is cheap and practical. Most hunters in Manchuria will choose this object to shoot prey with them."

The bow that Dongye broke for the people before was the Willow ox horn bow. Hearing this, he shook his head immediately.

The waiter picked up a bow again and praised: "The shooting power of this mulberry ox horn bow is about two stones. This bow is standard in the army, with exquisite production skills and durable."

Higashino Weimin was of course very familiar with the military weapons and shook his head again.

Zhen Liuqi knew that Dongye Weimin thought the shooting power of these bows was too low, so he shook his head and said, "Is there any crossbow?"

The waiter smiled and said, "The crossbow is a controlled weapon, and it is not allowed to be used or hidden by the people. The shop is private and sold to ordinary people. How can there be a crossbow? This big brother is really good at joking. Besides, the crossbow's firing speed is too slow. If you really encounter a beast in the mountains and forests, you will shoot it with a crossbow for a round, and before you can get the string, the beast is approaching and cannot shoot it in the second round. It's better to use a bow to make a practical use."

Zhen Liuqi said again: "Which is the best bow here?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter led the two of them to walk a few steps in, pointed to a bow placed on the display stand, and said, "The slight is this bow, which has the power of three stones. The bow requires six materials, divided into dry, horn, tendon, glue, silk, and lacquer. The bow arm of this bow is made of golden nanmu. The bow horn is made of good rhino horns; the same rhino tendon is used as strings, which greatly increases the elasticity of the bow; the glue used for bonding is fish glue made from yellow fish bladder; the six materials used are produced in Suzhou, with a bright color and can be guaranteed to be used for many years, but it still does not change color; the six materials paint is produced in Quanzhou, which is not only moisture-proof and moisture-proof, but also extremely beautiful. But, what is the price?..."

After hearing this, Zhen Liuqi looked at the golden nanmu bow carefully. The bow arms flashed a little golden light. The silk thread wrapped around the bow body was bright and bright. It was paired with the silver rhinoceros horns at both ends, and looked extraordinary. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Dongye Weimin.

The waiter of the shop saw Zhen Liuqi looking at him as soon as they entered the door. He heard that he was coming to buy bows and arrows, and then he knew that the strong man was the real buyer. At this time, he also looked at Dongye Weimin and waited for his decision.

Higashino Weimin still shook his head, obviously not satisfied. The waiter who was waiting beside him was stunned.

.

At this moment, a voice suddenly penetrated and said, "This guest officer has such a good eye!"

Dongye Weimin and Zhen Liuqi turned around and saw that the shopkeeper of the store had come at some point. It must have been introduced several bows in a row, but they were not satisfied. Therefore, they alarmed the shopkeeper and came over to observe the situation.

The shopkeeper was in his forties and had a round face with a smile. Seeing the two of them turn their faces to look at him, they bowed and smiled and said, "Xiao is the shopkeeper of our store. The golden nanmu bow introduced by the waiter just now is for the gentry who pursues handsome appearance. If he has a few strength to pull the bow, buy it, and go out to hunt with a group of friends, this is naturally a famous bow and treasure that can be boasted in front of others. If there is another group of people who are pursuing a handsome look, they are naturally a treasure trove that can be boasted about in front of others.

The young girl who was confused and lost her mind was waiting aside, cheering and applauding. It was a peerless weapon to pretend to be handsome and greatly satisfy her vanity. Therefore, it is not impossible to call this bow the best. But in the eyes of those who are interested, this bow pursues appearance too much and ignores the true use of the bow, and is not the best bow. This guest can see clearly at a glance, and it is indeed good at eye-catching!" While speaking, he gave a thumbs up and praised.
