Chapter 109: Ying Tianwang's Family (II)
The treasure knife is cumbersome, and it is made in the handle, blade, and sheath. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info the inferior knife can be made in one day, and the treasure knife needs to be pondered for several months.
There are three knives, one is the shape, the second is the length, and the third is the weight.
If it is only for play, it is mainly based on the form, and if it is practical, it must be simple. The length and weight of the knife are all different styles.
The long knife is handsome, and the material is soft;
The short knife is dangerous, and the material is hard;
The light knife flies, and the material is rigid;
The heavy knife is strong, and the material is thick.
The two treasure knives offered by Chao Chong, with reddish jujube wood handles, are warm and moist. Fine notches for added feel.
The blade is wide and curved, more than three feet long, sharp and cold.
The two scabbards are also made of high-quality cowhide covered with high-quality locust wood, brushed with glue paint, and embellished with several precious stones.
The guard who took over the two knives from Old Man Wang was also extraordinary. Chao Chong looked fixedly, one of them was thirty-four or five years old, eight feet tall, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Name: Shi Bao (Wind Splitting Knife)
Health: 2800/2800
Commander-in-Chief: 73
Force: 93
Intelligence: 82
Politics: 75
Glamour: 84
Affinity: Closeness
Characteristics: Big heart (The more critical the moment, the more stable the play, which can often turn the tide.) )
Chao Chong was shocked in his heart, could it be the Nanli general among the four marshals of Fang La!
Seeing his nickname for the Wind Splitter, I'm afraid it won't be wrong.
Shi Bao's skills are very good, and those who have read the original work of Water Margin know that Shi Bao has a great record against the heroes of Liangshan:
Single-handedly, Guan won 20 rounds without winning or losing, and walked away with defeat, and Guan won without chasing. was called by Guan Sheng that the knife technique was not under him.
With one enemy and two, the big battle Lu Fang Guo Sheng joined forces.
Good at using the meteor hammer, 100 shots, and killing the urgent pioneer Suo Chao and Jinmao Hu Yanshun.
Kill Deng Fei, the fire-eyed fox, Bao Xu, the god of mourning, and Ma Lin, the iron flute.
When Shi Bao faced the enemy, he felt surprisingly calm, and it seemed as if he had been calculated by the computer.
When Li Kui cut down the horse, he did not panic, and did not even fall with the horse, but jumped down and hid in the horse army.
After escaping to the city, he did not run to a safe place in one go, but hid behind the door to sneak attack the pursuers, and as a result, Bao Xu really got right.
When he defeated Suo Chao, he took advantage of Deng Fei's urgency to rescue and quickly killed, ignoring whether he wanted to make up for Suo Chao on the ground.
And when Bai Qin's javelin stabbed Ma Lin down, he quickly pursued and cut Ma Lin into two pieces. Because he knew Bai Qin's skills, he was afraid that Ma Lin would not die if he was shot, so he took action. As for those who fell under the meteor hammer, Shi Bao never thought that they could get up again.
For him, when to fight, when to escape, when to hide, who to attack, who to mend the knife, can see clearly, without hesitation and fear. His series of performances send chills down the spine and can even be described by the word "cold-blooded".
Shi Bao gives people a very similar feeling to Luan Tingyu, both of whom are examples of brave and resourceful generals.
Shouldn't Shi Bao be spreading the oblique religion in the south with the Fang La sect leader, deceiving the people, and preparing to rebel? How did it end up here?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he looked at the other guard. He is also in his thirties, seven feet five inches tall, with a pair of slender eyes, inverted eyebrows, tiger whiskers like steel needles, and two long knives stuck in his waist, both five feet long, which looks quite strange.
Name: Deng Bi (male and female knife)
Health: 2800/2800
Commander-in-Chief: 37
Force: 94
Intelligence: 47
Politics: 36
Glamour: 49
Affinity: Closeness
Traits: Maniac (Copper tendons and iron ribs, force two bulls down; Rough reading of scriptures and books, interrogating scholars is annoying. )
Another fierce general! After the force value reaches 90, they can be called first-class fierce generals. Yang Zhi, Zhu Tong and others are among them.
Above 95, it can be called a super-first-class fierce general. Lin Chong, Luda, and Wu Song are among them.
In terms of force value alone, both of them are in the ranks of first-class fierce generals. The difference is that Shi Bao is more comprehensive in all aspects and has the talent of a marshal.
And Deng Bi's force is even more prominent.
Chao Chong said, "Who are these two strong men?" ”
Old Man Wang shook his head and sighed: "It seems that what Qing Yatou said is really right, you have really forgotten a lot of things. When you came here ten years ago, you pestered your Uncle Ah Bao and Uncle Ah Bi to teach you martial arts, I really don't remember it at all? ”
Chao Chong smiled and said: "It is true that many things have been forgotten, and if you are rude, don't be surprised." ”
Wang Yu relieved him and said: "The meaning of heaven is mysterious and mysterious, and there is a will of heaven in the dark, so don't worry too much." It's all my own family, and it's far away to say it's weird. If you don't know anything, just ask your uncle, and I'll introduce it to you. ”
Wang Yu paused, introduced Shi Bao and Deng Bi and said: "Ah Bao's name is Shi Bao, the word is a national treasure. Abhi's name is Deng Bi, and his name is Boyi. These two have followed their father for many years on the battlefield, and their father resigned and retired ten years ago, and the two of them also abandoned their official positions and continued to guard their father's side. ”
For this kind of loyal general, Chao Chong can't be treated as an ordinary servant, and he stepped forward to clasp his fists and salute.
Although Shi Bao and Deng Bi were respected by the Wang family, they naturally reciprocated the favor, stepped forward to support Chao Chong, and reminisced about the past.
"Okay, okay, there will be time to catch up in the future, Bao, Bi, try the knife for me!"
After the old man Wang Shao saw that everyone was familiar with each other, he interrupted their reminiscence.
Shi Bao and Deng Bi bowed down to receive the order.
The so-called test knife is to test the three attributes of sharpness, flexibility and hardness of the knife.
Shi Bao and Deng Bi used a knife to cut the rice paper, and the strips were made into silks, which was easy, and it was obvious that the blade was sharp, which caused the old man Wang Shao to nod secretly.
And they went again to the poplar grove, looking for the poplar tree with the thick mouth of the bowl. Shi Bao condensed his mind and cut down the tree. Deng Bi didn't wait for the crown to fall, and slashed through it with another knife, the fracture was neat, and the blade of the knife was not broken.
The old man Wang Shao said: "The trees are full of toughness, and if the transportation capacity is uneven, or the blade is too hard, it is easy to break. These two knives are broken without breaking, which shows that the strength of the treasure knife is extraordinary. ”
Finally, everyone came to a large bluestone with mottled knife marks. A family has long placed six head-sized stones on the big bluestone.
"This stone is called the Knife Stone, and there are six stones on it, and each of you will cut three stones. Test the hardness of the knife! ”
Shi Bao and Deng Bi nodded yes. The two of them concentrated their energy and cut it out with a knife, and the stone with the big head did not move on the bluestone, and cracked in response to the sound, like a knife cutting a watermelon.
Chao Chong applauded. It is not difficult to cut the stone in half with a single knife, but the difficulty is to make the stone not move at all! This represents superior knife skill and control.
Then there were a few more knives, and the stone was like a melon, crisp and neat.
"Sure enough, he is a master of using knives!"
Chao Chong exclaimed.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of the treasure knife sent by Young Master Chong, so tested, there is no curling blade at all!"
Shi Bao and Deng Bi also responded.
The old man Wang Shao laughed, the old man loves to collect weapons, and he is naturally happy to get this treasure knife.
At this time, Li Kui and Bao Xu snorted coldly, quite dissatisfied with Shi Bao and Deng Bi's showmanship. Since ancient times, there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, and seeing others selling martial arts in front of them, Li Kui and Bao Xu couldn't stand it.
And they had an indescribable disgust for Shi Bao, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Carving insect skills!" ”
"Hmm!"
Shi Bao and Deng Bi couldn't help frowning, but because the other party was an entourage brought by Young Master Chong, they didn't have a good seizure, so they just didn't hear it.
Wang Shao has been in the army for many years, and he is very partial to strong warriors, and he has long seen that the five entourages behind Chao Chong, except for the girl who dresses as a man, the other four are rare majestic warriors. smiled: "Chong'er, the few people behind you look very majestic, are they the warriors you hired?" ”
"No, they're my brothers!"
Chao Chong smiled.
"Uh...... Brothers? That's a lot like what your bastard daddy learned! ”
Li Kui, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, and Yu Baosi have an average height of more than nine feet, and they all have a fierce appearance, which is very intimidating from the image alone.
Old man Wang Shao walked over, knocked on Li Kui's chest as hard as iron, and said, "I heard your words just now, I seem to be quite unconvinced, do you want to compare with my guards?" If you win, I will hide the magic weapon in the Arsenal, and you can choose one, how about it? ”
"Hey, hey, I can't ask for it, let them go together!" Li Kui's face was dark and thick-skinned, and he was not ashamed to speak, and his hands shook the horn.
Bao Xu also came over and said: "Brother Li, don't take advantage of all the limelight, leave some scenery for my brother!" Count me in! ”
These words annoyed Shi Bao and Deng Bi. They have followed the general on the battlefield for many years, and in the past ten years of retirement, their martial arts have become more sophisticated, and they have never been so scorned, this black guy dares to be so rude!
Chao Chong secretly has a headache, is this a fateful entanglement?
In the original historical trajectory, Li Kui axe split Shibao and chased him down from his war horse. But Shi Bao did what he planned, reflexively struck a blow, and killed Li Kui's good brother Bao Xu.
Could it be that the fate of history is to make Li Kui, Bao Xu and Shi Bao look at each other unpleasantly, and then fall in love and kill each other?
! Since I'm here, how can I let history repeat itself!
"Tie Niu, Bao Xu, step aside!"
Chao Chong frowned, snorted coldly, and his voice couldn't help but be three points stern.
Li Kui and Bao Xu were like being poured a basin of cold water on their heads, seeing Chao Chong frowning, they were uneasy, knowing that they had caused trouble for their eldest brother again, they hurriedly and obediently retreated behind Zhou Tong and Yu Baosi, like children who had done something wrong, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
Shi Bao and Deng Bi were also calmed by Chao Chong's cold drink, not that they were afraid, but that they were surprised that the originally gentle and elegant Young Master Chong also had such a harsh side.
Wang Shao was quite surprised, in his impression, his grandson's personality was more like his daughter, kind and weak, not like a domineering person.
At first, he thought that the four fierce men should be the guards that Chao Gai arranged for him. Li Kui and Bao Xu's private voices and provocations were even more regarded by Wang Shao as Chao Chong's lack of prestige and his recklessness in suppressing these reckless performances.
So I want Shi Bao and Deng Bi to teach Li Kui a lesson and make them restrained.
But Chao Chong snorted coldly, and the follow-up performance of Li Kui and Bao Xu completely overturned Wang Shao's opinion.
In this team, the one with absolute authority is really Chao Chong, a young man who looks weak!
Chao Chong took a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "Tie Niu and Bao Xu are both upright men, and their martial arts are also good. So when I saw the hunting heart and saw the martial arts of Uncle Shi and Uncle Deng, I had the heart of comparison, and it was normal for people to be human. I don't think the two uncles will be surprised! ”
Chao Chong's words were neither humble nor arrogant, that is, he praised the martial arts of Li Kui and Bao Xu, and also expressed his apologies to Shi Bao and Deng Bi.
What else can Shi Bao and Deng Bi say when they see this? I can only smile and reveal this matter.
The lord humiliated his ministers to death, and seeing that Chao Chong had to apologize to others for such a noble status, Zhou Tong and Yu Baosi were very unhappy. looked at Li Kui and Bao Xu, who were causing trouble, and were implicitly dissatisfied.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Wang Yu took the opportunity to laugh a few words, and the old man Wang Shao asked Wang Yu to arrange a side room for everyone to stay.
Before leaving, Wang Shao left Chao Chong behind and asked him to go to the inner hall to talk.
After entering the inner hall, Wang Shao asked Shi Bao and Deng Bi to guard outside the door, and said, "Your father and son have done a great thing!" ”
Chao Chong was secretly shocked in his heart, but he kept quiet, and said: "Our father and son have always liked to do big things, which one is grandpa referring to?" ”
"Steal the Birth Gang, intercept and kill thousands of officers and soldiers, and capture Jeju Prefecture. Which one is smaller? Are you afraid that the imperial army will not encircle and suppress it? ”
"It turns out that my grandfather knows everything."
Chao Chong breathed a sigh of relief, it was good to know, and it was easy to talk about it clearly when the matter was put on the bright side.
"Although Jeju and Yingcheonfu are hundreds of miles apart, there is still a newspaper from the official residence every month. How could the news on the official face be hidden from me! Since your mother returned home for no reason, I felt that something was wrong, and I paid special attention to the newspaper from Jeju Prefecture, and I didn't expect to hear the news of your Chao father and son doing evil one after another! Your family is rich, aren't you satisfied? Do you really think that if you rebel, you can become an emperor? Bastard! Ahem"
"Can my mother know about the fact that we have fallen into the grass?"
"How could I let people talk nonsense about such a humiliating thing. In addition to me, your uncle knows, your second uncle and third uncle don't know, not to mention the female dependents. ”
The more the old man scolded, the more angry he became, beating his chest and feet, and then coughing violently.
Chao Chong hurriedly went up to beat his grandfather's back and was happy.
The old man took out a wine gourd from his arms, pointed to the small box on the bookshelf, Chao Chong brought it to him, the old man used the wine and medicine, and after eating it, he finally stopped coughing.
Chao Chong noticed that the wine gourd in the old man's hand was not the one where the third uncle went to the restaurant outside to drink, it turned out that it was really bought for his grandfather.
"Grandpa, what is your illness?"
"I have been in the army for many years, and it is difficult to heal the old wounds. The doctor told me not to drink, but I couldn't stop my addiction to alcohol, so I secretly drank a few sips every day, don't tell me! ”
"Well, I will."
For the first time, Chao Chong carefully looked at his grandfather's appearance. His beard and hair are all white, his face is full of wrinkles, and his body is a little rickety, but his eyes are still sharp. When he is in front of people, he always likes to put on a radiant appearance, and when no one is around, his face collapses.

How so? The disease is not curable? Chao Chong was anxious, he came to celebrate his grandfather's birthday, but he didn't come to mourn his filial piety.
Chao Chong stood behind his grandfather, massaged his shoulder, and said, "Grandpa, my grandson has learned a set of methods for massaging muscles and bones, and I will give you a massage, maybe it will be good for your body." ”
Chao Chong massaged while silently reciting in his heart, "Equivalent exchange!" His own vitality fed back to the old man Wang Shao.
With Chao Chong's fingers, a warm current poured into the old man's body, and he only felt indescribably comfortable.
"Chong'er, your technique is really good, I feel comfortable, and my spirit is much better."
Effective!

Characteristics: Expand the territory (use troops to strategize, every battle must be successful, yearning for the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties)
Sickness and pain (the body is tormented by poisonous sores and madness, which makes people suffer deeply.) )
Seeing that it really worked, when I was still unsure of my grandfather's family's attitude towards the rebellion, it was inconvenient to reveal too many hole cards.
Chao Chong didn't want to be too shocking, so he decided to heal his grandfather several times and recover a little every day, so that people would not feel abrupt.
After stopping the delivery of life force, Chao Chong talked to his grandfather while massaging, and said: "Grandpa is old, knowing that there is a secret injury, you should follow the doctor's instructions, don't drink again, the third uncle did something inappropriate!" ”
"Hey! Don't say that. The old man has been happy on the battlefield all his life, if there is no wine in the last few years of his life, wouldn't life be very boring? ”
Chao Chong disagreed: "Soldiers shouldn't drink, my grandfather is so addicted to alcohol, how did he govern the army back then!" ”
"! Men's blood is the same as spirits, how can they ban alcohol? In the northwest wilderness, the cold wind is like a knife, men don't drink, how to be brave, how to keep out the cold? ”
Chao Chong smiled: "Then it seems that the military discipline of the Northwest Xiang Army is not very strict!" ”
"What if it's not strict? Pick up the war, the Western Army will fight against the Central Plains Forbidden Army! Wine is heroic courage, the Central Plains Forbidden Army forbids alcohol, but they are still secretly drinking, and they have become cowards who can only sneak around and can't fight tough battles! ”
Chao Chong said while massaging: "The lower army depends on blood, the Chinese army relies on discipline, and the upper army relies on faith." Relying only on bloody warfare, in the end, it can only be reduced to an inferior army! ”
"Alas! I didn't think you could see it clearly. But today's Great Song Dynasty, it is rare to have a bloody army, and the army of discipline and faith may only exist in the time of Taizu! ”
"Not necessarily, it's man-made!" Chao Chong's hand massage force couldn't help but increase a little.
"Where did we go before I got sick?"
Old Man Wang Shao thought about it for a while and couldn't help asking.
"You scolded my father and son for daydreaming and not being the emperor." Chao Chong laughed.
"Well, yes, I went on scolding. How bold you father and son are! Although the forbidden army is corrupt, there are still millions of people, how many people can you have in a small Liangshanbo? How many times can you withstand the encirclement and suppression? ”
Old man Wang Shao picked up the conversation, and the more he scolded, the more angry he became. In this scolding, there are seven points of pity.
"Although there are one million forbidden troops, there are only more than 100,000 people who may be mobilized in a mobile manner. There are hundreds of thieves who occupy the mountains and are kings in the world, even if there are more than 100,000 people, it is impossible for them all to gather in Liangshanbo to fight our father and son, right? ”
"Bastard! They didn't have anyone to fight against Cai Jing, the imperial master of the dynasty! What madness have you had to fight against him? Short of money? Tell me? 100,000 yuan, the old man can also get it! ”
Old man Wang Shao was angry and said angrily.
"I'm afraid it's not just Cai Jing, we have even offended Gao Yu, and there are some powerful people in the court."
"Why is that?" The old man said curiously.
Chao Chong told all about the fact that he infiltrated Tokyo and cut off one of Gao Yu's ears, and destroyed Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others selling national ordnance privately in Jinguo.
The more Wang Shao listened, the more frightened he became, and his eyes flickering more and more when he looked back at Chao Chong.
"Why does Grandpa look at me like this?"
"The old man understands, no wonder your father is such a bastard as a gangster, he dares to rebel. It turned out that they were all dragged away by your boy. No wonder those rivers and lakes are in awe of you, it turns out that you kid is really a demon! ”
"If I am a demon, grandfather, you are not the ancestor of demons."
"Hahaha, of course the old man was also a demon back then. Otherwise, how to go from a scholar, throw a pen from Rong, expand the territory, and establish immortal feats! ”
"Oh, can Grandpa tell me about your past?"
"Of course that's fine, I want to ...... back then"
As soon as the old man talked about the year, it was endless, and it was not until two hours later, when it was time to hold the lamp, that Shi Bao knocked on the door and came in to light the lamp, and Wang Shao stopped talking.
"Chong'er's massage technique really has a miraculous effect, making the old man feel comfortable. And the old man told you the story for a long time, and he didn't feel tired at all, it's really strange, weird! ”
Chao Chong naturally didn't say that it was the credit of his goldfinger's "equivalent exchange", but just smiled: "It may be that my grandfather is in a good mood, so the whole person is refreshed." ”
Shi Bao persuaded: "Marshal, the coming day is long, Young Master Chong is in the mansion, you can talk at any time, you can't be tired for so long." ”
"My body I know, it's fine. People are forgetful when they are old, Chong'er came to the house, I haven't seen your mother yet, I've been delayed here for so long in my old man's place, you can't stand it anymore, hahaha, go and say hello to your mother, she knows that you are coming, I'm afraid she will be in a hurry. ”
Chao Chong nodded yes, and Shi Bao led him to the inner house to see his mother.
While walking, Shi Bao said in a low voice: "Young Master Chong may not know, Dashuai's body has become more and more deteriorating in recent days, and he can't work for a long time, you talk to him in the room in the afternoon, Ah Bi and I want to rush in several times to remind you to leave, but we don't dare to disobey Dashuai's military orders, so that the two of us are extremely tormented." Please pay attention to Young Master Chong in the future! ”
Chao Chong smiled, he was indeed a loyal man, but since I came, my grandfather's illness would definitely be cured.
