Chapter 231: Hammer

Qu Li is Qu Yuan's cousin, adhering to the tradition of Qu's allegiance to the royal family, Qu Li is very excited about Xiong Wan's arrival, although he can't help Xiong Wan politically, but he takes care of Xiong Wan in life, so that Xiong Wan finally tastes the status he deserves as the prince of a country.

Zhao Kuo heard that Qu Li was Qu Yuan's relative, and wanted to be close to him, but he had to pretend to be stupid, what he was afraid of was suspicion, so he had to suppress his heart to make friends with Qu Li, and told Huang Xie to be optimistic about Xiong Wan, and by the way, let Huang Xie go to Qu Li to ask for a weapon, as for the gun, that is his signature, and he must not show it.

Although Qu Li did not have an official position, he owned several properties in Chencheng, including an iron shop, and naturally accepted Huang Xie's weapon requirements, and Zhao Kuo, who saved Xiong Wan, also looked at him differently, and personally asked Zhao Kuo what kind of weapons he needed.

Zhao Kuo thought about it for a while, and deliberately said loudly: "Take what you can for Lao Tzu!" If you want a big one, it's definitely not okay to lose 500 pounds. ”

Qu Li was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Five hundred catties? Can the little hero hold it? A weapon made of 500 catties, this is a bit unrealistic! ”

Zhao Kuo also felt that he was talking too much, so he pretended to rack his brains, and finally said: "You can just make the appearance I painted." Zhao Kuo took the branch and drew two sledgehammers on the ground, he remembered that there were many heroes who used sledgehammers in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it was estimated that he could be strong in his hands.

Qu Li often goes to the ironware shop to see, but most of the ironware shops are made of kitchen knives and iron plows and other living utensils, Zhao Kuo's two sledgehammers are unheard of, and they also feel extremely fresh, and after making up their minds, they must see with their own eyes whether the young man in front of him can hold it.

Zhao Kuo saw that Qu Li was gone, and let out a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that pretending to be stupid is also a technique! It's a bit unbearable to pretend for a while.

The Chu people live a luxurious life, after Qu Li is a royal family, he has a good business, and the objects in the house are top-notch, Zhao Kuo looked at a large bronze mirror, his current appearance is no longer handsome before, his hair has been cut shorter by him, he has made a bird's nest head shape indiscriminately, and his face is coated with some plant juice, which looks a little green and black, and his clothes are wearing a set of short shirts, which are still linen, and he knows that he is a country man at a glance.

"Third brother, your dress is very weird! I didn't recognize it at first sight, let alone those who hadn't seen the third brother. Huang Xie went and returned, and when he saw Zhao Kuo, he burst into laughter.

Zhao Kuo was also a little dissatisfied, mainly because he couldn't see it funny, if he could make people laugh, it would be a great achievement, "Second brother, the eldest brother has settled down, right?" Tomorrow is a tough battle! Big brother, don't tire out the bones of a woman's belly. Zhao Kuo himself also likes women, but he knows that wine hurts his body and is very restrained, but Xiong Wan is not, he is simply a hungry ghost in sex, Zhao Kuo is afraid that Qu Li will let Xiong Wan mess around, and he will make jokes if he can't get up tomorrow.

Huang Xie nodded and said: "The eldest brother still knows the severity, and he went to bed early, and tomorrow I hope that the third brother will not be too reckless, if the king is scared, it will not be good for the eldest brother!" ”

Zhao Kuo nodded to indicate that he knew, "Second brother, don't worry, can I not be serious!" Besides, the king of Chu is also a person who has thousands of troops and horses, and he will be afraid of me. ”

Huang Xie smiled bitterly: "Third brother, don't joke about the king, where did the king pass by thousands of troops and horses, and it is true that he was chased and fled in panic." ”

"You can't say that, even if you lose a battle, you've seen dead people, as long as you've seen the corpses of swordsmen, you'll always be much more courageous than ordinary people." Zhao Kuo believes that there is no other way to exercise people's courage more than killing on the battlefield.

There was nothing to say all night, and when it was just dawn, Zhao Kuo heard someone slamming the door and shouted: "Lao Tzu hasn't woken up yet, which one is going to disturb people's sleep......"

"Little hero, the sledgehammer is ready, I'll personally send it to the little hero." Qu Li whispered outside.

Zhao Kuo got out of bed and opened the door, rubbed his eyes and asked, "It's been built so quickly?" Then you don't need to send it so early! ”

Qu Li smiled and said: "Yesterday, the iron shop was about to be ironed, so I asked people to get two hammers for the little hero, although they were rougher, but the weight was enough. In fact, Qu Li wanted to see with his own eyes whether the country boy in front of him could hold two 500-pound hammers, and he was going to die of curiosity.

Zhao Kuo saw Qu Li flash, and two sledgehammers appeared behind Qu Li, and then shouted strangely: "That's also a hammer?" "No wonder Zhao Kuo is dissatisfied, those two hammers are indeed round hammers, but they are definitely irregular circles, one in the recess here, and one bulging out there, how awkward it looks.

Qu Li smiled: "These two sledgehammers are made into molten iron with a red-hot hammer handle, it is not easy to build, it is too difficult to make a round, but the handle is extremely strong, and it will never break easily." ”

Zhao Kuo licked his lips and said, "The handle is only more than a foot long, so it's strange that it will break!" I'll try the portion size first! "Zhao Kuo can't use a halberd, and it's too light to hold a sword, so after thinking about it, he still uses a sledgehammer to take advantage of it, and he is much more majestic in front of people.

Zhao Kuo grabbed a sledgehammer with both hands, and Qu Li's mouth behind him was as big as a fist, and his throat was still whirring, Zhao Kuo easily swung the sledgehammer, which scared him.

Zhao Kuo hit a few times with a sledgehammer, and felt that the weight was not bad, neither light nor heavy, especially the size of the sledgehammer was very shocking, and it was estimated that he could scare away a few enemies without fighting.

Zhao Kuo thanked Qu Li and returned to the house, he wanted to repair the sledgehammer with the halberd, at least he had to make the sledgehammer look rounded, otherwise it would be too ugly.

Seeing that Zhao Kuo had returned to the house, Qu Li sat down on the ground all of a sudden, and said distractedly: "The gods are also ...... The man of God is also ......"

Zhao Kuo's halberd was extremely hard, and it was very easy to sharpen the iron, and it didn't take long for the two big hammers to be reborn, not only revealing the metallic luster they should have, but also the appearance was much more pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Kuo was looking at the sledgehammer and nodded, when he heard a noise outside, as well as the cries of women and children.

Yang Wenjun and Ling Yin Gongzilan acted at two ends, Gongzilan was responsible for the king of Chu to go out of the city to hunt, while Yang Wenjun ordered his general Jing Huan to besiege Qu Li's mansion with 2,000 men and horses to prepare to raid the house and destroy the door.

The general Jing Huan ordered all the people to come to Qu Li's door after leaving, and surrounded Qu Mansion without saying anything, and then broke into the mansion to take down all the old and young, and found that there was no prince Xiong Wan who was looking for him, and while forcing Qu Li to confess, he sent people to search for him.
