"Come on, take these people down for me, and wait for Lao Tzu to return to the camp in a while to loosen their muscles and bones for them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In violation of the gambling ban, according to the law, each person has 50 military sticks, although it is lighter than the 80 military sticks of the alcohol ban, but if Zhang Fei did it himself, I am afraid that he would not use ten sticks, and these people would have to be killed on the spot.

Several captains, including Lao Li, were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and kept begging for mercy.

Chen Mo pointed to Lao Li, who was kneeling on the ground, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's a few of them who gamble and cheat, and it's not Lao Li, what are you doing to catch Lao Li?" ”

Zhang Fei was also stunned when he asked this, it seems that this Chen Mo is indeed not intentional, at this time, he still doesn't understand that the key is to gamble money rather than cheat.

Liu Bei stepped forward and said softly to Zhang Fei: "Okay, for the sake of this little brother's intercession, this matter will be settled." ”

As soon as Liu He heard this, he understood that Chen Mo was interceding for several captains, and it was obviously Liu Bei himself who was pleading.

All battalions in this army are gambling money, if Liu Bei doesn't turn a blind eye, he won't dare to borrow a few more guts.

Liu He guessed correctly, although the rules for prohibiting gambling were set by Liu Bei himself, but Liu Bei did know about gambling money in the army.

In fact, this truth is not difficult to understand, Liu Bei governs the army strictly, mainly because he does not allow his subordinates to harass the people, especially the wives and daughters of the people, once discovered, they must be dealt with by military law.

Then there is the prohibition of alcohol and gambling, but as soon as these three military regulations come out, the three most important things for this group of big men in the army, women, drinking and gambling money are the same.

Liu Bei himself is also a man, of course, he knows that no one can stand it for a long time, but he can't do anything that disturbs the people, and drinking will make mistakes, in comparison, only gambling money is the least affected, so he didn't care too much.

Zhang Fei is an upright character, black and white, and will never allow anyone to violate military regulations, so Liu Bei has never mentioned it to him.

Although Zhang Fei was angry at this time, since it was the eldest brother Liu Bei who interceded, it was naturally inconvenient to attack, although he no longer made a sound, but he still stared at the captains viciously, looking unwilling to give up.

Liu Bei knew Zhang Fei's temper, and he didn't pay attention to it anymore, he turned to Liu He and said: "The arrow just now can shoot through the wine jar with an arrow fifty steps away, which shows its hardness, it seems that I can also make a smooth deal now." Thank you, Mr. Tianji. ”

Liu He smiled indifferently and didn't say much.

Liu Bei turned his head to Liu Qi again and said, "Eldest Prince, you have also seen the situation of this batch of arrows, and you have to trouble the eldest prince to go back and report to Liu Jingzhou." ”

Liu Qi clasped his fists and saluted: "This is where my duty lies, General Liu doesn't have to be polite, just ......"

"You want to know why these arrows are so hard?"

Without waiting for Liu Qi to finish speaking, Liu He preemptively said.

Zhang Xiaofei, who had been watching Liu Qi like a nymphomaniac on the side, heard this and glared at Liu He fiercely.

"They didn't ask, you wanted to say it yourself, right?"

Zhang Fei shook his head helplessly, his stupid sister was obviously not giving Liu He face in front of the whole army, hey, the girl was too old, and her elbow was turned out.

Liu Qi looked at Zhang Xiaofei with a bright smile.

"Don't hide it from Miss Zhang, I really want to know what method Mr. Tianji used to make these arrows so strong."

At this time, Zhang Xiaofei was already fascinated by Liu Qi's smile, and she didn't have the heart to fight with Liu He anymore, so she just nodded lightly to Liu Qi shyly.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaofei had no objections, Liu Qi turned his head and said to Liu He: "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

"Actually, this is very simple," Liu He picked up an arrow from the ground and held it up in front of Liu Qi, "Look at what is on this arrow?" ”

Liu Qi approached and carefully studied it for a long time, but the appearance of this arrow did not change from when Liu Bei created it that day.

"Forgive me for being stupid, I really don't see any difference between this arrow and the original."

Liu He smiled without saying a word, and handed the arrow to Liu Qi's hand.

Liu Qi was originally very puzzled by Liu He's move, but when he took the arrow, he suddenly frowned, and then his eyes lit up.

"There's oil on this arrow!"

Oil? Hearing Liu Qi's exclamation, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also picked up an arrow and held it in their hands, and sure enough, there were oil stains on it.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was no cooking oil, and at most animal fat was used to bake food. Therefore, when they say oil, they do not mean the oil used for stir-frying, but tung oil.

Tung oil has been used in lacquer making and shipbuilding since ancient times, and the ancients smeared tung oil on the bottom of the ship, which played a role in sealing and reinforcing. Ancient ships were mostly black-brown in color, which was also caused by soaking tung oil.

Jingzhou is located in the south, since ancient times there have been many water wars, shipbuilding technology has become more and more mature, a few days ago Liu He found that the shipyard near Xiangyang has tung oil technology.

Since tung oil is effective for the wood used for shipbuilding, it has the same effect on the wood used to make the arrows.

In the purchase list that Liu He gave Qian Zhuan at the beginning, in addition to those cauldrons, there is also one of the most important materials, which is tung oil.

It took some time to soak the tung oil in wood, but Liu He only had three days at the time, so he used a large pot to heat the tung oil, so that the tung oil could quickly sink into the inside of the arrow, making it strong in a short time.

It's just that the smell of tung oil is not very good, especially in the volatilization process after heating, the smell is pungent, so Liu He had to heat the tung oil every night, and then put the arrows soaked in tung oil in the courtyard during the day.

"No wonder your Tianji Camp always drinks all night and doesn't sleep, and you have to go hunting in the mountains during the day, it turns out that the fire is not extinguished at night, and it is to avoid the smell of arrows during the day." Liu Bei suddenly realized after hearing this.

Liu He nodded and smiled: "That's right, the heat of heating tung oil is very difficult to grasp, and it needs to be guarded all night, so it was really helpless to go to General Liu to ask for an amnesty for the prohibition of alcohol." The night is long, and you have to endure the pungent smell of tung oil, and if you don't have wine, it's really difficult. As for daytime hunting, it is a last resort, this tung oil in the sun, not only smells bad, but also produces a kind of poison, so even if a few of us are sleepy, but in order to survive, we still have to hide in the mountains. ”

Zhang Fei laughed when he heard this.

"I've been marching and fighting for so many years, and it's the first time I've heard such a reasonable reason to drink and hunt. But Mr. Tianji's trick is really amazing, when I first learned that you prepared a few cauldrons on the first day you came here, I wondered, there are only seven or eight of you, how can you eat so much? Originally, it was prepared to heat tung oil. ”
