When he first saw the slender cloth bag that Mr. Bai held out, Zhang Xun thought that what he would see would be a gentleman's sword weapon of a certain dynasty.

Probably thought it would be similar to the style of the Longquan Sword, but he didn't know much about it.

However, when he saw a large sword gauntlet full of simple and cold style exposed from the end of the cloth bag, he noticed something unusual in his heart.

It was a bare handguard with a metallic feel, and then a sword hilt in the same minimalist style.

"What a long sword. ”

Wang Mianhua was surprised, her eyes were surprised.

Mr. Bai's face did not change, he just walked over with the long sword, and then put it on the low table in the living room, Zhang Xun noticed that his arm was tense, obviously, this sword had a heavier weight than its appearance showed.

"Is this the sword? Well, it's so long and so big. Lin Xiaoye flew out of the kitchen when he heard the news, his hands were still stained with water, and his two healthy and beautiful little arms were hanging in the air.

Zhang Xun glanced at her and coughed.

"The sword is one and a half meters long, and the weight is not light. Father Bai said with a smile.

Wang Mianhua, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa, suddenly squinted and asked, "You are not a domestic weapon, are you?" ”

Although the outside is wrapped in a silk yellow sword bag, the exposed part can also be seen that it has a very different style from the swords in the history of the country.

Father Bai nodded and said with a smile: "This is the cross-sword of ancient Europe, it is not a famous thing, but it has always existed for hundreds of years. ”

As he spoke, he gently untied the sword bag, and there was no scabbard, directly revealing the blade, after all, it was an object of hundreds of years, and its brilliance was incomparable with the iron made by modern industry, but after maintenance, it was revealed, and it was also cold.

The blade is still in a simple style, simple, direct, but not rough, and there are finally some exotic patterns on it, which can be seen that it is not the kind of sword that wears the main decoration, but a practical killing weapon on the battlefield.

"I thought it would be a delicate sword. Zhang Xun admired it and couldn't help but say.

Father Bai smiled faintly and said, "I also have that kind of sword, wait until I finish eating, you want to see me show you, but I only have one or two to play with, and the real good things are still more in Lao Lin, yes or no?"

The second half of the sentence was asked at Lin Xiaoye.

Lin Xiaoye pouted and said, "Maybe, my dad won't show me anyway, saying that it's not good for girls to dance knives and guns, but he also agreed when I went to join the army." ”

Father Bai smiled and didn't pick up the topic, but continued: "If you're interested, try the feel?"

"I'll try. Lin Xiaoye volunteered, bent over and grabbed it with one hand, although she is a girl, but after all, she has not been in the army for a long time, and her temperament does not have the intention of pretending to be weak in front of men, so she mentioned it violently, or raised it, but it is one thing to grab, and she wants to try to wave it but it is not smooth, after all, the strength of the girl's arms and wrists is insufficient, and the waist does not know how to cooperate, so the more she wants to pose paranoidly, the more she can't succeed.

"It's a two-handed sword, you can't hold it with one hand. Suddenly, Wang Mianhua took a few steps forward, while speaking, he took it, when this European ancient heavy sword started, his forearm was very slightly oblique, so he also held the sword in one hand, in Lin Xiaoye's hand as heavy as an iron rod, but in his hand it was as light as nothing, the heavy blade swung in the air, and then Wang Mianhua raised it diagonally, seeing that everyone had dispersed, he separated his legs, and his waist moved, and the whole person and the sword were very coordinated, and the weight seemed to be gone, as light as a feather。

"You have so much strength!" Lin Xiaoye said in surprise.

Wang Mianhua glanced at her and said casually: "I don't have a lot of strength, in fact, although this is a two-handed sword, it looks heavy, but in fact, it is not only a strong general can use it, the key is the center of gravity, the counterweight of the sword hilt and the handguard, the more reasonable these are built, the easier it is for people to use, as long as you are familiar with it, you can also dance, of course, men must have a greater advantage." ”

After speaking, Wang Mianhua gently put down the cross heavy sword again.

Father Bai smiled: "Xiao Wang is right, it doesn't depend on how strong you are to use this kind of thing, why don't you use a battle axe and a war hammer directly if you really have a lot of strength, wouldn't it be more convenient, the main thing is to be familiar with it." ”

Zhang Xun was also surprised, stretched out his hand and tried to pick it up, according to what Wang Mianhua said, feeling its power distribution, it didn't take a few clicks, and he also felt a little lighter, although he still couldn't do it as lightly as cotton, but it was not a big problem to dance a few times, he couldn't help but look at Wang Mianhua and said: "I didn't expect you to understand this." ”

The little security guard smiled low-key and didn't explain.

At this time, the food over there was fragrant, and after cleaning up here, we started to eat dinner.

Everyone was talking and eating vegetables, but this time Zhang Xun suddenly talked a lot less.

"Xiao Zhang, what do you want, so distracted?" Bai Xiang's mother asked with a smile when she sandwiched a piece of meat for him.

"Thank you, Auntie, it's nothing, it's just remembering something. Zhang Xun covered it up, but it was still difficult to concentrate on the meal after all.

After thinking about it, he still opened his mouth and asked Father Bai, "Uncle Bai, what period of time was that sword produced in Europe?"

"Hmm...... The Middle Ages, right, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Zhang Xun squinted his eyes and smiled, bowing his head to pick up the rice.

But there was a gleam in his eyes.

When he saw this two-handed cross sword, he suddenly remembered the weapon situation in the white paper about Yingyang's armament, it seems that there is no such heavy sword, but he doesn't know if it is because Yingyang's background is not applicable to combat, or their technology is still not enough?

Even if Yingyang's metallurgical capacity is already in the lead compared with the surrounding four countries, in Zhang Xun's view, its leading level is really limited.

"If you have the opportunity, you still have to find an expert in the metallurgical industry to get to know it, and you may need it in the future. Zhang Xun turned these thoughts, finally finished eating, and then it was the real night.

After discussion, the group decided to return to Tian'an tomorrow, and Lin Xiaoye naturally returned with them, taking the sword with him.

The stars are sparse at night.

Zhang Xun stood in front of the window of this strange city, behind him, Wang Mianhua was holding a computer and playing landlord, very happy, Zhang Xun and cotton slept in a room tonight, but unfortunately both of them were used to staying up late, so it was difficult to sleep.

Zhang Xun looked at the night scene outside the window, thinking that this time it was really the same as he imagined, but it was a business trip without any waves, if he said that he had gained something, he just got acquainted with Lin Xiaoye's friend, Lin Xiaoye's temper and personality He liked it very much, but it was a pity that he didn't meet any noteworthy talents when he came out once, which made him a little regretful.

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that there had been no decision in the past few days.

Calling out the light curtain and seeing that the progress bar of the national fortune has finally stabilized completely, this made Zhang Xun feel a lot more relieved.

At this moment, a bell rang in his ears......

Decisions come.

ps: The business trip was turbulent.,10,000 words smaller.,Deleted.。。。
