"Sonorous—"

In this cave, the sound of metal striking was particularly deafening, and after about a dozen impacts, the two men retreated and presented their weapons.

Fang Ling took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but light up, this was intact, even the blade was as if it had just been sharpened, but the other knife was different, there was obviously a small hole on the blade, if you cut a few more knives towards this opening, I am afraid it would crumble.

Seeing Fang Ling's slightly surprised expression, Ma Kai's face couldn't help but show a little smugness, as a general, in addition to the soldiers under him, the most proud thing was of course these refined weapons.

As soon as he finished reading Fang Ling's expression, Fang Ling glanced at him silently, his eyes fell on the saber on Ma Kai's waist, and said with a smile: "This ordinary soldier's weapons are so powerful, isn't the knife you are wearing, General Ma, even sharper?"

Seeing that he wanted to see it, Ma Kai laughed proudly, pulled out the waist knife from its sheath, and saw that the edge of the long knife was exposed, and it suddenly carried a murderous aura.

Fang Ling took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise: "Good knife, really good knife!"

Ma Kai laughed and said: "Your Highness, this knife is different from these, the general knife can be formed after five procedures and a hundred hammers, but this knife has undergone a special refining process, and it takes ten processes and three hundred hammers to refine such a hundred refining knives!"

"Oh, in this way, if this hundred refining swords were compared to those and cut down a dozen times, wouldn't it also open an opening?" Fang Ling said in surprise.

Seeing Fang Ling's expression that he had never seen the world, Ma Kai couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's right, if Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can test it for you again." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly: "This test is not necessary, but I have an uninvited." ”

"Your Highness has something to say, and the ministers listen to it. Ma Kai still replied humbly.

Seeing Fang Ling's expression that he had never seen the world, Ma Kai couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's right, if Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can test it for you again." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly: "This test is not necessary, but I have an uninvited." ”

Fang Ling showed a bright smile on his face, sharpened the blade of the knife with his hand, and said with a reluctant look: "General Ma also knows that I have gone out all the way, the road is dangerous, and there happens to be no weapon for self-defense around me, I think this hundred refining knife is quite good, and it is quite easy to pick up, why don't General Ma give me this knife." ”

"This ......" Ma Kai didn't expect Fang Ling to actually ask for his own personal weapon, and he couldn't help but hesitate for a while.

You know, ordinary five days can be built successfully, but this hundred refining knives are different, you must pick the best ore in iron ore, refining and refining after selection ♀ is not an easy job, you have to smelt these ores again and again, and when you hammer three hundred times, sometimes it will be broken, ten hundred refining knives are finally formed one is considered luck, and it takes more than three months to form a shape.

Fang Ling frowned, and said with a displeased face: "What's the matter? This mere sword and horse general is actually reluctant, I thought that General Ma was a generous person." ”

This made Ma Kai's old face blush, there were so many lieutenant generals and soldiers watching here, and a dignified Shicheng king personally asked for an object, this kind of thing could not be refused by his subordinates, so he had to grit his teeth and forced a smile and said: "Since Your Highness likes it, then give it to Your Highness." ”

Fang Ling laughed and said: "General Ma is really arrogant, by the way, those guards around me are still short of some weapons, I think these are quite good, so give me six more." ”

"Of course...... No problem. Ma Kaigan laughed, and a trace of ruthlessness finally flashed in his eyes, this Qingshui Pass is made of special technology, and the cost of each one is not low, it is ten times more expensive than the knives in ordinary towns, and it is still a bit heart-wrenching to take six of them.

Fang Ling casually put the waist knife on his body, and looked at it in a circle, feeling quite satisfied.

Ma Kai saw that he was holding back the fire in his heart, but as soon as he remembered that he was going to kill the king of Shicheng anyway, his face was dyed with a smile again, not only accompanied by a smile, but also praised a few words.

Fang Ling saw the changes in his eyes, and he was even more sure in his heart, this guy really killed himself, this Qingshui Pass, it seems that it is really a matter of life and death.

When he got out of the smelter, Fang Ling stopped and said with a slight smile: "This smelter has really opened my eyes, so let's go to the horse training farm now." ”

"Horse training farm?" Ma Kai was stunned, and subconsciously felt that Fang Ling had some ghost idea again, but he had to say with a smile, "Then the subordinate will lead the way for His Highness." ”

Fang Ling nodded, he regarded this place as his home, but Ma Kai and the others became outsiders.

The so-called horse training field is a place where the captured wild horses are specially trained into war horses, and they exist in various fortress checkpoints of the Chu State, even if Qingshui Pass is close to the imperial city, there has been no war since the establishment of the Chu State, there is still a horse training field.

And compared with the more remote fortresses, the wild horses here are carefully selected and sent here for breeding, although the place is not large, but they are all fine horses.

Fang Ling actually mentioned the horse training farm, Ma Kai had a premonition.

Sure enough, as soon as Fang Ling came here, he saw a sturdy horse in the horse farm, and began to nag about the two skinny horses, this skinny horse was skinny, and he didn't know what year and month he would be able to go to Shicheng, and finally the conversation naturally mentioned borrowing a few horses to go and return them in the future.

God knows how this borrowed horse can be returned, but Fang Ling is the king of Shicheng, and the identity of the prince is extraordinary, and it is impossible for Ma Kai to refuse it.

Looking at Fang Ling's pick of horses, Ma Kai is heart aches, the ordinary price of horses in Chu is 100 taels a head, a good horse is two or three hundred taels, like this kind of war horse is 500 taels a head, if you pull a few horses, it is thousands of taels of silver.

However, Fang Ling was not soft at all, this horse selection technique is a knowledge that must be learned in the court, he was taught by his mother when he was very young, and now it is still fresh in his memory, so he is trying to choose the best of the best.

The lieutenants stood aside and whispered in a whisper, but no one dared to say a word, this Chu country is the emperor's Chu country, this war horse is the emperor's war horse, to put it bluntly, this horse training farm is the emperor's back garden, what is the prince's choice of a few horses here?

So, when Fang Ling left from the horse farm, he chose eight fat and strong war horses.

Ma Kai didn't expect Fang Ling's eyes to be so poisonous, it was like a knife, all the horses selected were the best breeded, and the daughters were rare, and many of them were gifts to be presented to the officials of the Imperial City, but they were all left by the King of Shicheng.

Even though Ma Kai is a person who is very deep in the city, he can't help but feel some anger on his face.

And the effect that Fang Ling needs to achieve is to make Ma Kai angry, once he is angry, it is easy to "expose" the horse's feet, as long as he "exposes" the horse's feet and knows the strategy he uses, then he will be able to see the move.

Therefore, after picking the horses, Fang Ling began to talk about the carriage, and after getting two good carriages, he went to the material warehouse and got a bunch of dry grain and wine and stuffed wine.

Then he went to the arsenal and took away several sets of light armor for soldiers, which were made of soft iron, and although they were light and thin, they could slightly resist the piercing of the sword, and they were not easy to see when pierced on the body.

After Ma Kai sent Fang Ling and the selected things downstairs, when he turned his back on his face, he was already iron-blue, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and even his fists were trembling, this was not fear, but anger, and he didn't know how to lift this big prince when he died.

As soon as Ma Kai and the others left, Dong Canghai and Chen Mou walked down from the upper floor.

Dong Canghai looked at the eight fat war horses and the materials they were carrying, and hurriedly walked over and began to check them.

Fang Ling said with a smile: "No need to check, these were not sent by General Ma, I asked for them back." ”

Chen Mou immediately understood what Fang Ling meant, and when he saw that the materials were turned over, he laughed and said: "Not to mention the rest, these war horses alone are worth a lot of money, General Ma estimates that his lungs are going to explode now!"

Dong Canghai couldn't help but say, "But it's probably a bit inappropriate to provoke General Ma like this." ”

Chen Mou smiled: "Instead of being inappropriate, it is a trick to kill two birds with one stone." Ma Kai is ruthless, and he will definitely carry out the orders of Queen Song and cause His Royal Highness to die, but he is very deep in the city, and it is not easy to know what his plan is, but His Royal Highness provoked him so much, not only replenished the supplies, but also General Ma was likely to "expose" his feet when he was angry. ”

Dong Canghai nodded again and again when he heard this, Fang Ling smiled slightly, untied the hundred refining knife on his waist, and threw it to him: "This is Ma Kai's hundred refining knife, master see if it fits." ”

Dong Cang came out to take a look, praised it, and hurriedly said: "The subordinate has a knife in his hand, so let His Highness keep this one." ”

"No, I have my own weapons. Fang Ling smiled slightly, took out those knives from the carriage, and said, "I think these knives are better than your knives, so I'll use them for you." ”

Several guards hurriedly thanked him, and one of them took a handful, which was really much easier, and Dong Canghai couldn't put down the hundred refining knives in his hand.

Fang Ling said at this time: "Now that Ma Kai is angry, master, you know what to do, right?"

Dong Canghai put away the Hundred Refining Knife and said with a slight smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, we weren't idle when you left just now, we went to quietly inquire about the situation of the military camp and patrols, and I will sneak into the main hall of the military camp now." ”

Fang Ling nodded and told him to be careful.

After Dong Cang snorted, several guards began to move all the supplies in the broken carriage to the new carriage, and then one of them took a set of light armor.

Fang Ling discussed some more things with Chen Mou before going upstairs to rest.
