Chapter 173: Izumo Kuni-kun's Shock!
Chapter 173: Izumo Kuni-kun's Shock!
Izumo's face instantly fell, but only for a moment, because soon he thought of something more important.
"What about Master Liao, did he come back with you, and why did King Xi confiscate your goods?"
Izumo Guojun already had a bad feeling in his heart, and he was still distressed about a thousand taels of gold, but compared to a master of forging soldiers, a thousand taels of gold was nothing.
Not to mention a thousand taels of gold, even three thousand taels or five thousand taels can't buy a master forger.
Master Liao didn't have much sense of belonging to Izumo Kingdom, and he always held a stand for him, looking cold and arrogant, but even so, Izumo Kunijun did not snub this master of armor at all.
Why is this why the king of a dignified country is cheap, and his hot face sticks to his cold ass?
Of course not, the teacher has a high status in this world, but anyone who can become a teacher is not an ordinary person.
After all, smelting and building weapons and artifacts are inseparable from these masters, and there are few people in the entire Izumo country who can be called a soldier caster, among which Master Liao is one of the best, and the monarch of Izumo naturally wants to treat him well.
Brother Dao heard the anger in the mouth of the Izumo monarch, and he didn't know if it was because of the goods or because of Master Liao's disappearance, so he hurriedly explained.
"King, it was Master Liao who was arrested for exploring the news of the mine, and our caravan was implicated, originally the day before I inquired about the secret clearly, and the lord came back as soon as possible, but Master Liao insisted on going his own way to inquire about the news once, and he was arrested, and now he is detained by King Xi!"
Although Brother Dao is stating the facts, he is still very particular about reading between the lines, he invisibly exonerates himself, and it is not the minister's fault that the caravan goods are confiscated, and it is all to blame Master Liao for insisting on going his own way, king!
Naturally, Izumo Kunijun's mind was not on a thousand taels of gold, but at Brother Dao and asked, "What's the secret?"
"Steel! Brother Dao swallowed his saliva and said: "There is a mine twenty miles outside Xidu, there is a heavy guard, it looks like an ordinary iron mine, but in fact, there is a treasure inside, Master Liao once lost a laborer, and got a small piece of steel from him, the king, Xidu really found a treasure mine!"
When Izumo Kunijun heard this, the anger in his heart calmed down slightly, and then he asked calmly, "Are you sure that this so-called steel is the material for building a hundred refining divine weapons?"
Brother Dao personally felt the quality of steel at that time, and naturally he was deeply touched and full of confidence: "King, yes, but what Master Liao said is very sure, this steel is the material for building a hundred refining divine weapons, and the minister also tested the steel of heaven and earth at that time, and there is nothing wrong with it!"
Izumo Kunijun and Amber glanced at each other, and they could see surprise in each other's eyes.
"What about steel?"
"It's terrifying!" Brother Dao commented simply, but remembering that it was the king in front of him, he couldn't pretend to be like this, so he suddenly froze and continued to explain:
"Returning to the king, the minister played with steel, the texture is hard beyond the minister's imagination, the minister used a bronze saber to slash a small piece of steel, as a result, the minister's saber collapsed, cracked, and the steel did not move!"
Hiss!
Izumo Kunijun gasped, it was incredible that this steel could not be so hard, and the next moment, he remembered his sword, the Star Chasing Moon Sword, which was also as sharp as mud, and the edge was unparalleled!
It seems that you can't go wrong!
Izumo Kunijun's face showed joy: "Where is that little piece of steel?"
Brother Dao was originally excited, and his face was flushed, but when he heard the king ask where the steel was, he suddenly froze: "King, that small piece of steel was obtained by Master Liao, and he only showed it to the minister a few times, and he always carried it with him, he was arrested, and that small piece of steel naturally returned to the hands of King Xi, hey, it was also unlucky, and the stolen goods were obtained, and they couldn't be washed!"
If Master Liao gave a small piece of steel to the caravan and didn't bring it with him, then the matter would not have fallen on this field, and if there was no evidence, King Xi might not have the courage to detain people and confiscate the goods.
However, after thinking about it, Izumo Kunijun was relieved, it didn't matter how the process was, what mattered was the result - Heeto had indeed discovered a mine that contained heavenly treasures.
Thinking of this, the Izumo monarch's heart is on fire, the ancestor of the Izumo country is not high, and he lacks the background, so he is very persistent in things that can enhance the national strength, and the treasure steel that can build a large number of hundred refining divine weapons is exactly what he desires the most.
For the prosperity of Izumo Province, he did not hesitate to start a war!
Seeing that Izumo Guojun's heart was hot, Amber on the side seemed to remember something, so he asked, "Little knife, you just said that this treasure called steel can not only create a hundred refining divine weapons, but also make crispy iron extremely hard, and can create a sharp weapon to seal the throat with a sword?"
Izumo Kunijun's heart was already greedy, and when he heard this, his eyes lit up even more: "Oh~ There is such a wonderful use?"
Seeing that the two nobles were full of interest in "steel", Xiaodao immediately reduced the pressure in his heart a lot, so he nodded solemnly:
"Back to the king, this is indeed the case, at that time, Master Liao said that the essence of steel can be used to create a hundred refining divine weapons, and some unfinished residues can also be integrated into the iron, making the iron hard and tough. ”
Brother Dao looked around, pointed to the spear guarding the armor on the side, and said: "King, the quality of the iron tools that are integrated into the steel residue is far higher than the weapons of our Izumo Kingdom, and the ministers can guarantee this with their heads!"
"Good!
When Izumo Kunijun heard this, his sadness disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by excitement!
Brother Dao saw that his own king was moved by his own words, so he continued to tempt his own king: "King, the minister also found a situation in Xidu, the farm tools used by farmers in Xidu are made of this kind of iron tools, and their farm tools are sharper and tougher than our weapons!"
"Tyrannical Creatures!
The monarch of Izumo and the steward Amber invariably had such a thought in their hearts, the cruelest thing in this world is the comparison, the extravagance of the Xi country and the thrifty poverty of the Izumo country, the difference between the two!
"King Xiaoxi is too disagreeable! As the uncle of the princes alone, you can't sit back and watch his extravagant behavior, the Son of Heaven let the princes guard the Quartet, not send him to enjoy it, he Xiyun Nan is worthy of the identity of the emperor's gods! ”
The righteousness that Izumo Guojun said on the surface is awe-inspiring, a posture of standing on the moral high ground, but his heart is happy, this precious steel is prepared for him, and when his army presses the border, he is not afraid that King Xi will not give in, not only Master Liao will return it, but even the gold eaten will be returned with interest!
Of course, the most important thing is the mysterious steel mine, such a good treasure, how could he miss the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.
"Hahahaha~"
Hearing his own king's wanton laughter, Brother Dao looked confused, at this time he remembered the words that King Xi let him tell the king when he let him go, he hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said it.
"My lord, there is one more thing. ”
Izumo was in a quick mood, and felt that this scar-faced subordinate was not so annoying, so he said:
"What?"
"My lord, when King Xi let his ministers go, let me bring a message to the king. ”
"Oh~ What does this Xiyun man say. ”
"Xiyunnan said that Xiguo treats guests with wine banquets and fights against the enemy with soldiers!"
"Hahahahaha, Amber, do you hear it, it is worthy of being a god of the imperial clan, his tone is very big, and a country of just a city dares to threaten Gu with soldiers, hahahaha, ridiculous, it's just absurd!"
Amber, the steward, also laughed very cooperatively.
Brother Dao also smirked with "hehe", his face was panicked, and he secretly scolded himself for talking too much.
After laughing for several breaths, the Izumo monarch bowed to his robe and said majestically: "I want to see what kind of 'soldier against enemy' method is that Xiyun man!"
As soon as the Izumo Kunijun finished speaking, all of a sudden, a loud roar broke out in the sky above the Cirrus Cloud Hall, and then a low and terrifying sound of the divine snake spitting out the letter resounded in the main hall.
Hiss!!!
Izumo Kunijun was horrified: "What is this?"
If Yao Yun was present, he would definitely applaud: Izumo Kunijun, your Dongfeng Express has been delivered, please sign for it in time!
