The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 90 Her man's abilities cannot be hidden!

The inn was very close to the clinic; it didn't take long to get there.

After settling the oxen in, Yu Tingwan asked the innkeeper for two adjacent rooms on the first floor.

Before it got dark, the girl took a sip of hot tea, munched on the steamed buns she had ordered from the inn, and ran out.
We were going to the blacksmith shop in town.

I don't know if it was because it was getting late or because business was slow, but there were hardly any customers in the shop.

As soon as you enter, a wave of heat hits you.

The furnace was burning brightly, flames leaping upwards like long tongues. A burly man, shirtless, swung a large hammer, striking iron.

"Bang bang bang."

Yu Tingwan looked around.

The shop is neither too big nor too small, just average.

She stepped forward and asked, "Can you customize hidden weapons?"

It was Wei Shen who reminded her that a kitchen knife was inconvenient and bulky to carry around.

As she spoke, she handed over the sketch in her hand.

That was drawn by Wei Shen, the defender of the town, on the oxcart.

With just a few strokes, even with a weak wrist, the painting skill remains exquisite. It depicts a modified sleeve arrow suitable for women.

As soon as they entered the inn, Wei Shen pointed her in a direction, saying that blacksmithing was cheapest there.

Yu Tingwan came over with a skeptical attitude.

The burly man glanced at her casually, his face stiff: "I'm not taking any more business."

"I'm willing to pay more."

The burly man threw down the hammer in his hand, looking impatient.

"Even if I had it, I wouldn't sell it to you. Get lost!"

As they were talking, a person came out from the inner room. He looked very thin, with red and swollen eyes, and was extremely dejected.

The skinny Shunzi spat out, "You're in a bad mood, why are you scaring that girl?"

The burly man sneered.

Shunzi couldn't do anything about him, after all, he couldn't beat him, and he had to listen to him in everything. He could only force a smile at Yu Tingwan.

But his smile was ugly.

"To be honest, young lady, someone in our family passed away. It's like the sky has fallen. We're not taking any business anymore, and we don't plan to keep the shop open. We'll be transferring it soon. Right now, we're only processing orders from customers who have already paid deposits."

Isn’t it!
The generals are all dead.

These blacksmith shops, which operate openly but secretly forge weapons and concealed weapons for Wei's army, should also cease operations and close down.

The Wei family army was invincible, and the weapons in the hands of the soldiers played a crucial role in this.

Since the death of the Duke of Shun, Wei Zhao had been wary of Emperor Qian.

Previous dynasties had not been without emperors who were ruthless and insane. In order to eliminate the soldiers who had fought on the battlefield and to remove a major threat to their hearts, they ordered the Ministry of Justice and the Ordnance Bureau to change the weapons into scrap metal that looked indestructible but was actually easy to break.

Wei Zhao was extremely cautious about the grain and fodder allocated by the imperial court, carefully checking whether it was edible. He also distrusted the swords and weapons that were sent to him.

There are many such hidden stakeouts, scattered across several towns in the surrounding cities.

The imperial court's spies wouldn't extend that far. This place is desolate, the government offices don't handle things, and it's convenient for transporting weapons.

The burly man Rong Di was the head of the undercover agents in charge of this area.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tingwan's eyes flashed with regret: "Please accept my condolences."

Rong Di, with a sour face, casually glanced at the sketch in the girl's hand.

My whole body froze.

Without thinking twice, he suddenly stood up and snatched it away.

He wasn't looking at the intricately crafted hidden arrow, but rather at the coded message concealed within the painting.

It's... the general's code.

A look of astonishment flashed in Rong Di's eyes, as if he had experienced great sorrow and joy, and his breathing became unusually heavy.

He was in a daze, seemingly in disbelief.

Yu Tingwan's face darkened: "If you don't want to do it, then don't. Why are you stealing my things?"

"This……"

Rong Diduosi cannot be tolerated.

He looked at Yu Tingwan with a gleam in his eyes.

"It can be done!"

He changed his tone from before, unable to hide his excitement: "Our shop has a great reputation, we can do anything. You've come to the right place, young lady."

The change in attitude is obvious.

Not to mention Yu Tingwan, even Shunzi was stunned.

Ever since the general's accident, the boss has been acting strangely. He often gives people the cold shoulder, and this big guy even sneaks onto the roof at night to cry.

That's understandable, after all, if it weren't for the general, Rong Di would have died long ago.

He regarded Wei Zhao as his second parents.

Shunzi sensed something was wrong and turned to look at the sketch in his boss's hand, his eyes widening in surprise. He couldn't understand it, but he had seen similar coded messages in the communications between his boss and the general before.

Yu Tingwan frowned: "Is something wrong?"

Shunzi: "No!"

He snapped out of his daze and chuckled sheepishly, "We two brothers are rather ignorant; it's just that the drawing of this hidden weapon is too good!"

"I wonder who made it?"

"Is there any opportunity to visit?"

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

Normally, she would have thought there was something wrong between the two of them.

But now...

The girl felt honored.

Her man's talent cannot be hidden!

Yu Tingwan couldn't help but smile, but she was unwilling to reveal too much.

"Didn't you say something happened at home?"

Rong Di: "I'm willing to do it for you!"

Fine.

Yu Tingwan didn't understand, but respected: "I need it urgently, I don't know when I can get it?"

"It can be made tonight, and you can pick it up tomorrow, young lady. Or you can leave a place to stay, and we brothers can deliver it to your door."

That's an incredibly attentive attitude.

Yu Tingwan suddenly felt a sense of vigilance.

He probably wants to extort a lot of money from her.

She thought about her empty purse and decided to save money wherever possible.

"How much will it cost if I collect it myself?"

Rong Di: "Just give me whatever you think is appropriate."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

"This is not good."

Shunzi said sweetly, "A guest is a guest, and it seems we have a connection."

Yu Tingwan has always been stingy.

Given this opportunity, she must not compromise her conscience and tempt fate.

Yu Tingwan, who was short of money, opened her mouth: "Thirty coins?"

A good kitchen knife costs eighty coins!

Let alone concealed weapons!
How could you even say that?

In the past, Rong Di, who always tried to take advantage, would have used a hammer to flatten people.

Without hesitation: "Yes!"

Yu Tingwan, who thought she was going to be kicked out: ...

She regrets it.

Have you said too much?

Aunt Wu had previously told her that when you're out and about, you have to haggle, just say the lowest price you can get, and then slowly negotiate with the shopkeeper to raise the price, otherwise you'll suffer a loss.

Girl: "Then..."

Yu Tingwan, who always had a thick skin, said, "How about you round it down for me?"

Rong Di readily agreed: "Sure!"

Yu Tingwan: ...

It seems she... made another mistake.

You don't even need anyone to die in your family to go bankrupt and close down.

Rong Di was very polite: "It's getting dark, shall we take you home?"

If Wei Zhao hadn't said this shop was reliable, Yu Tingwan would have abandoned the draft altogether and run away.

After refusing the burly man, the girl returned to the inn by herself.

Little did she know that as soon as he left, Shunzi became extremely excited: "Is the general still alive?!"

Rong Di touched the painting carefully, his voice hoarse: "The ink stains aren't dry yet."

Rong Di: "I knew it!"

"Even the King of Hell wouldn't accept a man like that!"

He paced back and forth excitedly: "I don't know how the news spread across the border, but everyone's saying the general is dead!"

And what's this about the coffin having to pass through Ze County?

Who's inside the coffin?!
