Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Banquet in Hell

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

Deng Chen laughed beside him and said, "Ah Xiu, the sixth is not a person who can pretend to be fake, since the sixth is willing to give it to you, you can accept it!" ”

Liu Xiu really liked the pair of sleeve arrows made by the sixth child, he was silent for a moment, and bowed to the sixth man again, saying: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey the fate, and Xiu accepted it with a cheeky face." ”

When the sixth child heard this, he smiled happily, personally put this pair of sleeve arrows on Liu Xiu's wrist, and explained to him the skills of opening the mechanism.

This set of sleeve arrows is not difficult to operate, it is easy to get started, and under the guidance of the sixth child, Liu Xiu will soon be able to apply it freely.

In the words of the sixth child, this set of crossbow arrows is not perfect, its biggest weakness is not the repeater, it cannot be fired continuously, and after each arrow, it has to be reloaded before it can be fired again.

As early as the Warring States Period, there were crossbows, but the volume of crossbows at that time was relatively large, and a single soldier could not hold it at all, so it needed to be operated by multiple people.

And the sixth can make the crossbow machine so miniaturized that it can be worn on people's wrists, and its manufacturing craftsmanship is exquisite, and the forging process is superb, which can already be called ingenious.

Liu Xiu played with the sleeve arrows on his wrist and asked, "Sixth, what do you need to create five thousand spearheads?" ”

The sixth man looked straight and said, "There are still nine more furnaces to be built. ”

"That's fine." Deng Chen answered: "I will pay for this money." ”

"Thirty to fifty more experienced craftsmen are needed."

Deng Chen pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, these craftsmen, I'll find them." However, I can't find them all at once, so I need to choose the right people slowly. ”

Lao Liu continued: "I still need more than two hundred laborers. Seeing that Liu Xiu, Deng Chen and others were puzzled, Lao Liu explained: "To forge five thousand spearheads, a large amount of wood is needed, fortunately, there are mountains and forests nearby, and the source of wood is not a problem, the key is to need a large number of laborers who can cut wood, only in this way can we ensure that the furnace can be smelted uninterrupted."

。 ”

It was also very difficult for Deng Chen to find more than 200 trustworthy laborers at once. When Deng Chen was worried, Liu Xiu answered: "I'll solve this matter." ”

"Ah Xiu?"

"I have no one in my hands, but my eldest brother has many brothers in his hands. I can write a letter to my eldest brother and ask him to select two hundred strong men and send them to Xinye's side. ”

Hearing his words, Deng Chen's eyes lit up, he stroked his palms and smiled, and said in a loud voice: "So good!" So much better! ”

Soon, they finalized the matter of forging weapons. Before leaving, the sixth child also specially gave them a few weapons.

Liu Xiu and Deng Chen both had good swords, and the sixth gave Deng Yu, Yan Guang, Zhu You, and Long Yuan a saber each, and the sharpness of their blades was on par with Deng Chen's saber.

And Gai Yan is good at using knives, and the sixth child specially gave him a ring-headed knife.

It's just that this ring-head knife is not a regular ring-head knife, the blade is wider, longer, heavier, blue-black, and extremely sharp. Gai Yan was very excited after receiving this knife, and couldn't put it down, and thanked the sixth child repeatedly.

They didn't come in vain this time, and they all received a good gift. Leaving the sixth child's blacksmith shop and returning to the city, Liu Xiu immediately wrote a letter to his eldest brother Liu Xiu, explaining the situation on Xinye's side.

Deng Chen sent his henchmen to send Liu Xiu's letter to Chungling overnight, and that night, the letter was successfully delivered to Liu Xiu's hands.

After reading Liu Xiu's letter, Liu Xiu was overjoyed, and praised it three times on the spot, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Ah Xiu has solved my urgent need!" ”

During this time, Liu Xuan recruited more and more people, and soon he realized a very serious problem, that is, he did not have weapons in his hands.

On the day of the uprising, he must not have taken a group of brothers armed with clubs, hoes, and sickles to fight with the officers and soldiers.

But if it is a large-scale purchase of weapons, first, he does not have so much money in his hands, and second, he is too ostentatious to go through the market, and the intention of rebellion is clearly revealed.

But if you make your own, there is no place for private weapons, and there is no candidate for private weapons. When Liu Jiu was worried about this matter, he happened to receive this letter from Liu Xiu, which can really be called a timely rain, which just solves Liu Xiu's current headache. Liu Xuan didn't think much about it, and immediately found his cronies Liu Jia, Zhang Ping and Zhu Yun, and gave him the letters that Liu Xiu gave him

The three of them looked at each other. Liu Jiazi is a filial grandson, and he is the brother of Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu. His life was relatively miserable, his parents died early, and it was Liu Xiu's father who rescued him, pulled him up, and funded him to go to school in Chang'an. Liu Jia and Liu Jiu have a very close relationship, although they are clan brothers, they are almost the same as brothers, after all, he is

The two are of the same age and spend more time together.

Later, Liu Jia went to Pinglin and started a family in Pinglin, and his wife and children lived a very good life on the hot kang.

After Liu Jiu decided to rebel in Chungling, he immediately thought of Liu Jia, a sibling brother.

He wrote a letter to Liu Jia, the content was very simple, only a few sentences, first explaining that he wanted to raise troops against him, and then asked Liu Jia if he would like to come to Chungling to help him.

After seeing Liu Xuan's letter, Liu Jia did not reply at all, and even if he sold his property, he came directly to Chungling with his wife and children, and resolutely joined Liu Xuan's camp.

What is a brother, this is a brother, just one sentence, whether it is on the knife mountain or under the sea of fire, I will follow you to do it, no matter why, no matter whether it is successful or not, just follow you.

Liu Jia, Zhang Ping and Zhu Yun read Liu Xiu's letter, and the three of them were all overjoyed. Zhu Yun stroked his palms and laughed: "General, Ah Xiu has made a great contribution this time!" ”

Zhang Ping also nodded again and again, and said: "First, Ah Xiu persuaded Wei Qing to join us in the incident, so that my Zhutiandu Department has another powerful boost, and second, Xinye can build weapons, which just solves our immediate urgency." ”

Liu Jia smiled and praised: "The little brother has become more and more talented!" ”

Hearing that they all praised Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I asked Ah Xiu to take refuge in Xinye, but now I look at it, this step is really right, there are so many unexpected gains, haha!" ”

Zhang Pingzheng said: "General, without further ado, we must draw up a list now, send the brothers to Xinye as soon as possible, go one day early, and prepare one day early!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Xuan nodded and said, "Come on, let's discuss it together and see who is suitable to choose to go to Xinye." ”

Now there are quite a few people under Liu Xuan's hands, there are more than 600 people up and down, and it is not difficult to select 200 strong people from them, but privately made weapons are a big matter, and the selected people, in addition to physical strength, the most important point is to be trustworthy.

The four of them discussed for almost the whole night, and it was not until the next day that it was dawn that they drew up the list, and finally Liu Xuan put Zhang Ping in charge and quietly went to Xinye with these two hundred brothers to find Liu Xiu and Deng Chen to meet.

Shinno.

This day was Yin Lihua's birthday, Liu Xiu went to the underworld with Deng Chen for a banquet, and Deng Yu, Yan Guang, Zhu You, and Gai Yan went with them.

Yin Lu, the old man of the Yin family, has not been in good health, most of the time is sick in bed, today is the birthday of his beloved daughter, it may be a happy relationship, Yin Lu's spirit seems very good.

He made a rare appearance in the hall and received the guests in person.

When Liu Xiu and Deng Chen entered the hall, there were already a lot of guests inside, and to Liu Xiu's surprise, Wang Jin was also among them.

Seeing Wang Jin, Deng Chen frowned slightly, and whispered to Liu Xiu beside him: "Ah Xiu, the one next to Wang Jin is Wang Jing." ”

Liu Xiu took advantage of the situation and saw a middle-aged man sitting on Wang Jin's left hand. This middle-aged man really doesn't dare to compliment his appearance, his short figure, thick and fat, and a fat face, squeezing his already small eyes even smaller.

Wang Jing and Wang Jin walked together, if strangers were allowed to come and see, no one would guess that they were father and son. Liu Xiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if Wang Jin was really born to Wang Jing, it could only mean that his mother must have been a beautiful beauty back then.

Liu Xiu and Deng Chen walked to the middle of the hall, came to Yin Lu, bowed down and saluted, and said in unison: "Yin Gong!" ”

While speaking, Liu Xiu also secretly looked at the old man in front of him.

Yin Lu is not very old, only in his forties, but because he has been sick in bed all the year round, he has become skinny, and the whole person looks unusually old, as if he is fifty or sixty years old.

Ordinary guests came to see the ceremony, Yin Lu would not get up at all, seeing that it was Deng Chen, he rarely stood up from the thick sitting, bypassed the table in front of him, walked in front of Deng Chen, waved his hand to him with a smile, and said, "Wei Qing doesn't need to be polite." ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze, looked at Liu Xiu again, and asked, "Weiqing, who is this?" ”

Deng Chen hurriedly said: "Yin Gong, this is Wei Qing's brother-in-law, Liu Xiu and Uncle Liu Wen." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the younger brother of the A-Yuan family." The relationship between the Yin family and the Deng family has always been very good, and Yin Lu also knows more about the situation of the Deng family, and calls Deng Chen's wife Liu Yuan, also with a nickname like A Yuan.

Yin Lu smiled, waved his hand to Liu Xiu again, and said, "Ah Xiu doesn't need to be polite. ”

"Xie Yin Gong." Liu Xiu thanked him and straightened his chest. Yin Lu looked at Liu Xiu carefully. No matter who looks at it, Liu Xiu is a very handsome and handsome young man, with dragon eyebrows and tiger eyes, a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth, handsome and extraordinary.

Although he came from a humble background and was just a villager who farmed in the countryside, what was rare was that his skin was not rough, but also white and delicate, and he did not have the vulgarity of a coarse person, but had the bookish air of a scholar and the elegant and free air of a cultivator.

To be precise, Liu Xiu was indeed a scholar, and at that time, there were not many people who could go to Taixue. As for the aura of a cultivator, it was completely due to the effect of the golden liquid, and it had little to do with Liu Xiu himself. Looking at Liu Xiu carefully from head to toe, Yin Lu nodded secretly, and exclaimed: He is a good young man! He asked casually, "How is Brother Ling lately?" ”
