Du Qi was a little curious at this time, what kind of powerful person he had discovered. The group went straight through the crowd and returned to the rear where Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng were sitting.
The place where the two sat in town was built on a simple platform, while the other 30 groups of examiners were outside alone. This was an empty area.
? To facilitate the review by Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng.
Du Qi and his party returned to this place, so they ordered the attendants to bring them here. Accompanying him was Yuan Yin who was in charge of the review. Although Yuan Yin said he had come, the previous review was still going on. After all, someone was assisting Yuan Yin's people to sit in the town.
As soon as Yuan Yin saw Du Qi, he quickly saluted and said, "I've seen Your Highness before."
"No need to be too polite!"
Du Qi shook his head and said, "Yuan Yin, tell me, what kind of powerful person did you find?"
Yuan Yin beckoned at this time, and behind him was a slightly hunched back, his arms were like a pair of ape arms, and his hands were extremely thick, and he looked like a person who had been working hard all year round.
However, this person's hair is already gray, his beard is messy, and he has a rosacea. He looks quite decadent, after all, he hasn't cleaned it up.
Yuan Yin introduced: "Your Highness, this man's name is Tang Zhongsheng, and he is a blacksmith. Although his hair is gray and his back is a little bent, in fact he has just turned thirty. It's just that he is too old. He worked hard, that's why he became like this. He came today to say that he is good at forging iron, and he also brought a sword that he forged. This sword, I have also tried it, and it really cuts iron like mud. Broken hair is a real sharp sword. Therefore, the humble job brought him."
While speaking, Yuan Yin handed over the sword.
The scabbard is very ordinary, dusty, and doesn't look sharp at all. However, the hilt of the sword is the authentic Han sword model, with a wide hilt. Du Qi took this sword with a heavy hand, weighing about fifteen or six catties.
"Clang!"
Du Qi drew his sword out of its sheath, and a cold light suddenly appeared.
Especially under the sunshine in the early spring morning, the blade of the sword is shining brightly, especially the brilliance flowing on the blade, like a pool of autumn water, giving people an extremely sharp feeling.
Du Qi raised the sword in his hand and ordered: "Bring a sword!"
"yes!"
Xue Rengui followed.
He directly drew his sword out of its sheath.
Although Xue Rengui's saber is not the best sword, its blade is quite sharp. Knowing that Du Qi was going to test the sword, he held the hilt of the sword with both hands and straddled the air.
Du Qi looked solemn, swung the sword in his hand, and slashed down fiercely.
"Clang!"
The two swords collided together.
Hearing a click, the sharp sword in Xue Rengui's hand snapped in two. And where it was cut off, the gap was neat, showing the sharpness of the sword.
"Good sword, good sword!"
Du Qi's eyes lit up, and his face showed joy.
On the battlefield, weapons are crucial.
A soldier got a sharp weapon. To put it bluntly, its combat power can be increased by at least 30%, or even more, which is why Du Qi is so happy.
Du Qi stared at Tang Zhongsheng in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Tang Zhongsheng, this king asks you. Did you really forge this sword?"
"yes!"
Tang Zhongsheng didn't even think about it, he answered directly, and when it came to forging weapons, his face was full of confidence.
Du Qidao: "Can such a sword be forged in batches?"
"able"
Tang Zhongsheng nodded, shook his head again, and said, "But it can't!"
As soon as Yuan Yin heard Tang Zhongsheng's words, he scolded: "If you can, tell me directly. In front of His Highness, don't show off mysteries, and answer honestly."
"Plop!"
Tang Zhongsheng was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.
After all, he is a common man.
Haven't seen the world.
But Du Qi stopped Yuan Yin, knelt down and stretched out his hands to support Tang Zhongsheng, and said: "What's going on, please explain clearly. Don't be afraid, don't worry, just speak the truth. But no matter what, Just because you can forge such a sword, you are a master craftsman."
Tang Zhongsheng nodded hurriedly, still a little scared in his heart, and even more restrained. After all, he has met the biggest people in his life, that is, the general government servants who patrol the streets, and the former officials of the city lord's mansion, but he has never seen others.
Tang Zhongsheng arched his back and said hastily: "Report to His Royal Highness King Pingxi, my villain.?So it can be forged because the villain discovered a kind of iron ore, which is harder. "
"However, this year, the villain used coal stones for smelting. And when burning the fire, he also used a new bellows to gather the fire, so the firepower is enough to melt iron ore, so he can forge such weapons in batches."
"As long as there is such iron ore, you can easily forge a sword that cuts iron like mud."
"The problem is that this kind of ore can't be provided all the time. If all the ore is consumed and ordinary iron ore is used for forging, although according to the current smelting temperature, it can continue to beat weapons and even fine steel, but the day after tomorrow it will be tempered and refined. As a result, compared to iron ore forging with better original iron ore, the quality of weapons is much worse after all.¡±
"So the villain said no."
Tang Zhongsheng spoke very fluently at this time, with inexplicable confidence, and continued: "The villain has the skill of smelting weapons. Although smelting requires a lot of skills, the material for smelting is actually very important."
Du Qi nodded after hearing this, and agreed with Tang Zhongsheng's words. No matter what, it is Tang Zhongsheng's ability to discover iron ore that ordinary people can't, and to smelt such a sword.
From what Tang Zhongsheng said just now, Du Qi heard Tang Zhongsheng's proficiency in material selection and smelting temperature. If one is not a professional smelting craftsman, it is impossible to have such an understanding.
Tang Zhongsheng is still very powerful.
In terms of smelting, Du Qi admired it.
Du Qi said seriously: "Tang Zhongsheng, you are very good."
When Tang Zhongsheng heard Du Qi's words, a bright smile appeared on his old face, and he asked timidly, "His Royal Highness King Pingxi, has this villain passed the test?"
"pass!"
Du Qi nodded with a smile.
When Tang Zhongsheng heard it, his cheeks twitched twice, as if he was excited, happy, and even more unbelievable. He didn't expect that he would pass the test.
Tang Zhongsheng was hesitant to speak for a while, looking embarrassed.
People like Du Qi saw Tang Zhongsheng hesitant to speak at a glance, and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Plop!"
Tang Zhongsheng immediately knelt down again, kowtowed his head to the ground, and kowtowed: "His Royal Highness King Pingxi, the villain has a request. The villain knows it's inappropriate, but he has to say it."
Du Qi held Tang Zhongsheng up again, looked at this little old man who was in his early thirties but had already become like a fifty-year-old man because of life, and said, "If you have any difficulties, tell me."
Tang Zhongsheng said: "The villain's mother and wife are both sick and need money for medical treatment. I implore King Pingxi to advance the villain's salary for one month to see a doctor for the old mother and wife. Their illness has dragged on for three or four years. , has not been cured. Recently, the condition has worsened, and it must be treated as soon as possible without further delay."
After hearing this, Du Qi saw the tension and hesitation in Tang Zhongsheng's eyes. He patted Tang Zhongsheng's shoulder lightly and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine with my king here."
"Mr. Liu!"
Du Qi gave an order.
"exist!"
Liu Zhengxi stepped forward immediately.
Du Qi ordered: "There is a doctor accompanying us in the palace. You arrange for someone to treat Tang Zhongsheng's family members, and send all the medicinal materials to them. Besides, give Tang Zhongsheng another ten pennies to subsidize his family. "
"yes!"
Liu Zhengxi responded immediately.
As Du Qi's long history, Liu Zhengxi knew the value of a craftsman who could smelt iron-cutting weapons like clay. To put it bluntly, with such a craftsman, the overall strength of Du Qi's army can be greatly improved.
So Du Qi's arrangement is not an exaggeration. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
