As for the name of the Damascus knife, it was taken by the Europeans. The origin is still a war more than ten years ago.

At that time, it was the time of the Third Crusade. Saladin, the mighty Kurdish Muslim king and founder of the Abyou dynasty, demonstrated to the King of England, Richard the Lionheart.

They negotiated in Arsuf, a flat in the city of Jaffa.

As they disagreed over the ownership of the Holy City (Jerusalem), a heated verbal dispute broke out between the two sides. Seeing that he couldn't make it clear, Saladin threw a silk scarf into the air.

When it slips, it is lightning fast. Pull out the scimitar you have with you and swipe it gently.

The instant square scarf is split in two!

The scimitar used by Saladin at that time was made by Persian craftsmen in Damascus. When Richard heard the news, he named the Damascus knife after Damascus.

The original place of origin in Persia was buried in this way.

As for the cause and effect, Li Chengji is not interested. In his heart, he only thought about how to make the Damascus knife reach mass production and become a magic weapon in his hands.

Without thinking, he said: "I want a thousand such knives!" ”。

The shopkeeper's face was happy, but he was a little embarrassed: "Guest officer, it's not so easy to make this knife." If the guest can wait for a year, the small shop will definitely give it out. ”。

"Do you have that foot-long broadsword in your store?" ，

"This--there is it, but the materials are different from this knife." , the shopkeeper hesitated.

You Cheng Ji frowned, and said in a deep voice: "But I want a big knife made of such materials!" ”，

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face was full of bitterness.

Just as he was about to reply, there was a sudden muffled sound from upstairs. Then there was a few hoops, and a few guys tumbled down the stairs.

Immediately, there were a few bangs, and the screen of the tea room was smashed open. Looking at the guys on the ground again, there is already more gas out and less air intake.

Li Atmosphere's reaction was quick! Immediately stood in front of Li Chengji and separated the shopkeeper from the guys. The other two bodyguards also protected Li Chengji, Zhang Zhiqin and others.

"Who? Who is it? Dare to make trouble in my shop! The shopkeeper said angrily.

As a result, as soon as the words fell, a figure rushed down. Because his face was covered with a black cloth, he couldn't see it.

The shopkeeper immediately thought that he was a thief, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Someone! Catch the thief! ”。

Shouting as he ran downstairs!

The masked man seemed to be a veteran, and when he heard the shout, he did not panic. Just looked around, and rushed towards Li Chengji without thinking.

It is also Li Chengji's location, which is next to the stairs. If the thief wanted to leave, he had to pass by them.

It's just that Li Wei was worried about Li Chengji's safety, so he swiped his right foot!

In an instant, a bench smashed towards the masked man.

However, the masked man is obviously a practitioner. With just one volley, the bench was immediately pushed away. When it hits the wall, it immediately scatters into a wooden shelf.

It's like a signal!

The masked man and Li Wei, who rushed together, immediately started a big fight.

I don't know what kind of whip it is! After three or five rounds of fighting, the masked man made a whims and pulled out of his waist.

Caught off guard, Li Weisheng was whipped.

"Use this!" , Li Chengji looked at it, immediately grabbed a scimitar with a large size, and quickly threw it in the direction where Li Qi was.

The masked man knew it was not good for him! Quickly raise the whip and hit the scimitar.

To his surprise, the scimitar was knocked to the ground, but the whip was broken. But Li Chengji expected that the masked man would stop him, so he deliberately pulled out the scabbard.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Gao turned over several times and grabbed the scimitar in his hand.

Pedal Pedal Pedal · A large number of footsteps rang out. A few thugs from the shop and a large number of soldiers in armor hurried upstairs.

The masked man knew that the situation was not good, and he was much more ruthless. But Li Qiqi is not so easy to dismiss, so even if the masked man tries his best, he is still entangled by Li Qiqi.

Those soldiers also took the opportunity to surround the masked people layer by layer.

Seeing that he was doomed, the masked man flicked his whip and struck himself in the head.

Hearing a crisp click, the masked man fell down in a daze. And a large chunk of his head has been dented.

In a short period of time, such an incredible disaster happened, and Li Chengji was a little confused. So much so that when Li Qi walked to his side, he didn't come back to his senses.

At this time, the sound of knocking footsteps came from the first floor again.

I saw a middle-aged man in silver armor leading a few young men in gorgeous costumes to the upstairs with brisk steps.

"Fourth brother?!" , Li Chengji looked at one of the young men in Chinese costumes and said with some uncertainty.

Hearing someone shouting to himself, the young man in purple clothes immediately followed the sound.

Seeing Li Chengji, he was also a little incredulous: "Third brother! ”。

"It's you! Fourth brother! Li Chengji immediately greeted him. Since around the Spring Festival, after drinking and talking together. Li Chengji and his fourth brother Xiao Alihe have never met again. First, Li Chengji is relatively busy, and second, Xiao Alihe's father has a relatively short time to return to Beijing to take up his post.

So when Li Chengji wanted to talk to Xiao Alihe, he had already returned to Hezhong Mansion with his father.

I bumped into it by accident today, and it was really lucky.

"What? This thief has caused a catastrophe? After briefly explaining the reason why he came to Hezhong Mansion, Li Chengji curiously asked the doubts in his heart.

Xiao Ali immediately grimaced and said angrily: "It's not enough! This bold thief has simply pierced the hole in the sky..."

After listening, Li Chengji was also a little surprised.

It turns out that today is the birthday of the ninth prince of the Western Karakhanid!

But according to etiquette, it is not advisable to do it in a big way. But his mother concubine was quite favored by the king.

So the ninth prince, with the support of the king, bought a private banquet in a prestigious restaurant in the city. Xiao Alihe and the prince are the same age, and on weekdays, they often ride horses and shoot arrows together, and they have a good relationship.

So this birthday banquet, he was also invited.

But who knows, just after the three rounds of drinking, a thief disguised himself as a subordinate and sneaked into the wine banquet to assassinate. Fortunately, the ninth prince practiced some fists and kicks and avoided the thief's killing moves. But on the body, he was still stabbed a few times by thieves.

Fortunately, the guards of the Nine Princes arrived in time. Not only interrupted the thief's attempt to kill himself, but also captured him alive.

But when he was escorted, something happened again!

The thief who was in charge of answering hid on the roof of the house and shot the thief who was captured alive.

After that, Xiao Alihe chased here with the guards.
