Chapter Eighty-Seven: Giving a Hidden Weapon

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

The sixth turned around and walked into the thatched hut, took out an iron bar from it, and handed it to Liu Xiu. This is the prototype of a sword, and it has not yet been equipped with a hilt, sword, grid, or jaw, and it looks like a black, gray iron bar.

Liu Xiu took the sword, checked it, the weight was not light, and touched the blade again, it was quite sharp.

He looked left and right, and saw that there was a lot of firewood piled up in the corner of the courtyard, so he stepped forward, picked out a thicker one, and waved his hand, and there was a click in the ear chakra, and the branch with the thickness of his wrist was broken.

Seeing this, everyone present invariably showed a look of surprise and secretly said a good sword.

Liu Xiu looked at the half-finished sword in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face. He turned around and walked back to the sixth brother and said, "This sword is just barely usable in the eyes of the sixth child?" ”

Such a sword no longer needs to be forged and polished at all, and with the hilt, sword grid and other bits and pieces, it can be sold on the market.

Lao Liu took back the iron sword, and Zhengse said: "Everyone has a different understanding of the sword, and for me, this kind of sword is between a half-finished product and a failed product. ”

As he spoke, he threw his sword back into the thatched hut like garbage, and when he heard a loud sound, the people looked at it, and there were still many of these iron bars piled up on the ground.

Liu Xiu was silent for a moment and asked, "Sixth, if you are not allowed to build a sword, only a spearhead, how long will it take to build five hundred?" ”

The sixth pondered in his heart for a moment and said, "If there are enough people, one month is enough." ”

"So, what if I want five thousand?" As soon as these words came out, Deng Chen was scared. Five thousand? Even if he poured out all his wealth, he wouldn't be able to recruit as many as 5,000 people.

Lao Liu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "I take the liberty of asking, what is Liu Gongzi's intention to build so many weapons?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled and asked rhetorically: "Sixth, what do you think such a large number of privately made weapons will be used for?" ”

Since ancient times, there has been no second way for large-scale privately manufactured weapons except to rebel.

After all, once he is caught, he will definitely die, and anyone who is willing to risk losing his head to do so can only target rebellion.

The sixth child and Liu Xiu looked at each other for a moment, and then, their eyes turned to Deng Chen, and they said suspiciously: "Deng Gongzi? ”

Deng Chen Zhengse said: "The tyranny of the reckless thief, the perverse acts, the people are not happy, the sky is angry and the people are resentful, now the world is in chaos, Kyushu is on fire, I, Deng Chen, am willing to assist the Liu brothers and do something big." Sixth, would you like to help me? ”

The sixth man was only stunned for a moment, and then he took two steps back, respectfully bowed to Liu Xiu and Deng Chen, and said: "Zhang Tong is willing to serve Liu Gongzi and Deng Gongzi!" ”

Deng Chen also knew for the first time that the sixth child's real name was originally Zhang Tong.

The sixth child could promise himself so simply, and Deng Chen was somewhat surprised.

In Deng Chen's heart, although the sixth child is a trustworthy person, and he can also say anything about rebellion, but whether he is willing to join and help himself is not necessarily.

He couldn't help asking, "Sixth, do you know what we're going to do?" ”

"I understand."

"Not afraid of death?"

"Zhang Tong is a damned person."

Lao Liu's real name is indeed Zhang Tong, he is a native of Yuzhou, since he was a child, he followed his father to learn to cast swords, when he grew up, his sword-casting level has been extremely high, and he is also extremely famous in Yuzhou, and there is an endless stream of people who come to him to ask for swords.

However, Zhang Tong has a strange temper, if it is a person he likes to ask for a sword, even if the other party can only come up with a few hundred or dozens of dollars, he will cast a sword for him, if it is a person he doesn't like, then even if the other party comes to him with tens of thousands of dollars, he will also close the door.

His character laid the root of his trouble, and the son of the governor came to him to cast a sword, Zhang Tong saw the other party, and refused in one bite, even if the other party had paid 100,000 yuan, he was unmoved.

Zhang Tong's attitude finally angered the other party.

Not long after, the official's son took more than a dozen subordinates and took advantage of the night to wash the Zhang family. Zhang Tong's entire family was killed, including his wife and three-year-old child, leaving Zhang Tong alone.

Afterwards, the official son also wiped the sword stained with the blood of his relatives in front of Zhang Tong, and said word by word: "If you want to kill you, like pinching an ant to death, you can't show my strength, don't kill you, let you live in pain, this can show the gap between you and me." ”

Really. Zhang Tong went to the local government to report to the official, but the local county magistrate didn't dare to care about the object of his complaint when he heard it, Zhang Tong went to the county government to report to the official, and the result was the same, the county guard didn't dare to take care of this matter, and finally he sued the state government, but it was still fruitless, but attracted more abuse and humiliation.

Zhang Tong, who had no way to sue, also thought about committing suicide, but he was unwilling, unwilling to let his whole family be innocently killed, and the murderer who was unwilling to kill was so free.

Later, he left Yuzhou and went to Nanyang Xinye in Jingzhou, where he worked as an ordinary blacksmith.

If it weren't for getting acquainted with Deng Chen, who had been funded by Deng Chen all these years, with Zhang Tong's increasingly eccentric temper, he wouldn't be able to live at all, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that Deng Chen was his savior.

Zhang Tong was deeply affected by the Xinmang regime, and naturally hated it to the core, and now when he heard that Deng Chen was going to rebel with the Liu brothers, he didn't even think about it, and immediately decided to follow them.

For him, he was a damned person a long time ago, he should go to the underworld to reunite with his family, the reason why he is still alive is completely supported by the power of hatred, and now he finally has the opportunity to take revenge, how can he miss it?

After listening to Zhang Tong's story, everyone present was embarrassed, and their hearts were full of resentment. Zhu You gritted his teeth and said: "If such a court can last for a long time, it is simply that God has no eyes and no way of heaven!" ”

Deng Chen patted the sixth man on the shoulder, comforted him, and then turned to Liu Xiu and asked, "Ah Xiu, do we really want to build five thousand spearheads?" ”

Liu Xiu nodded.

"That's a lot, isn't it?" Deng Chen muttered in his heart, they were in Xinye, and it was impossible to organize five thousand people.

Liu Xiu saw Deng Chen's concerns, and said, "Big brother also needs weapons over there." ”

Deng Chen showed a look of sudden realization, so that's the case! He finally understood Liu Xiu's intentions, and secretly said that Ah Xiu was thoughtful!

Although Liu Xuan recruited a lot of people in Chungling, there was no blacksmith in Chungling, and it was very difficult to get a large number of weapons.

For example, when they went to join the rebels, many of them had no weapons, and they still carried sticks, hoes, sickles, and other things.

Deng Chen said to the sixth child: "Sixth brother, it seems that we really need so many weapons!" ”

Lao Liu smiled and said, "If we had laid the blacksmith in the city, we wouldn't have been able to make so many weapons, but here, no problem." ”

In order to rush to produce 5,000 spearheads in a short time, it is necessary to start work day and night, and if it is in the city, it is impossible for such a big movement to go unnoticed.

But here, on the edge of the White River, there are few people, and even if they make a big noise, they will not alarm the government.

Hearing his words, Deng Chen also smiled, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and asked: "I said Sixth, you have been insisting on laying the blacksmith in such a sparsely populated place, have you been waiting for this day for a long time?" ”

The sixth smiled on his back and did not answer. After a while, he said to Liu Xiu: "The lord is here for a while, the sixth brother has a meeting gift to give to the lord!" As he spoke, the sixth child didn't wait for Liu Xiu to answer, and hurriedly ran into his own room.

Liu Xiu and Deng Chen glanced at each other, shook their heads and sighed: "I didn't expect that the sixth child would have such a miserable life experience. ”

Deng Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I have known Lao Liu for so many years, and it is the first time I have heard him mention his past. It's not easy to endure such a big blow and grit your teeth and persevere! ”

While they were talking, the sixth man walked back briskly with a delicate mahogany box, and when he got close to the crowd, he opened the box, which contained several strange-looking things. Everyone gathered around and looked down, but they didn't understand what was inside the box. The sixth man took out a pair of them and put them on his wrist skillfully, and before everyone could see it, he suddenly raised his hand, aimed at the wooden pillar on the side, and pressed the thing on his wrist with the other hand, and listened

With a snap, a thin, short crossbow arrow suddenly shot out, impartial, and nailed to the wooden pillar with a muffled sound.

At least half of this crossbow arrow must have been submerged in the wooden pillar, and only half of the arrow body was exposed. Seeing that Liu Xiu, Deng Chen and the others were all dumbfounded, Lao Liu explained proudly: "In the past few years in Xinye, I have not been idle, and I have been specializing in the art of mechanism, which is the sleeve arrow I made myself. This set of Hidden Arrows is easy to conceal and easy to fire, especially at close range

The effect is excellent, under ten steps, the strength can penetrate the bones! ”

As he spoke, he untied the sleeve arrow he was wearing on his wrist and handed it to the crowd to circulate.

Liu Xiu, Deng Chen and the others were all amazed, they had never seen such an ingenious sleeve arrow before.

In fact, the principle of this set of sleeve arrows is very simple, similar to crossbow arrows, and it happens to be extremely small and fine.

The whole crossbow box is less than half a palm in size, fixed on the belt, on weekdays, you can wear the belt on the wrist, with the sleeve of the block, outsiders can not see at all.

Zhu You walked to the wooden pillar and used a lot of strength to pull out the crossbow arrow nailed to it, he grinned secretly, the sixth said that this thing 'within ten steps, the strength can penetrate the bones' is not an exaggeration at all, the strength is indeed amazing.

After Liu Xiu looked at it, he handed the sleeve arrow to Deng Yu and the others, he looked at the sixth child and asked curiously: "Sixth brother, how many sets of sleeve arrows have you made?" ”

The sixth smiled bitterly, patted the wooden box, and said: "My subordinates have made a total of five pairs, and four of them have not been very successful, only this one is the most stable and has not had any problems." ”

After a pause, he said with a straight face: "My subordinates are willing to dedicate this pair of sleeve arrows to the lord!" ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he immediately stood up, gave a deep salute to the sixth child, and said: "Such a generous gift, Xiu is ashamed to be ashamed!" ”

In Liu Xiu's eyes, this set of sleeve arrows can be called a priceless treasure, and in times of crisis, it can be a killer weapon that can save lives. While bowing in return, the sixth man frowned and said, "If the lord doesn't accept it, he will look down on me Zhang Tong!" ”
