Chapter 082: Dragon Descending Wood
The girl in the yellow shirt was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her face turned crimson. She glanced at Li Zaixing, put her hands behind her back and said, "It's reasonable." Say, what reward do you want? You boldly said, I can't take it out, and my aunt and aunt can take it out. β
Li Zaixing bowed his hand: "Some last skills, I don't dare to ask for rewards." I would be grateful if Mrs. Yuguo had been gracious enough to allow me to pick two guns from the wood that had been replaced in the front yard. β
"That's all?" The girl in the yellow shirt couldn't believe it, Li Zaixing only wanted two scrap wood to make the barrel of the gun?
"Yes, this gun is for my practice, and it is not suitable for battle. The iron spear my maid used to practice her spear was even more unsuitable, so ......"
"I see." The girl in the yellow shirt waved her hand, interrupted Li Zaixing's words, glanced at Al Maidi, and said, "What are the special requirements for the wood used to make the barrel of the gun?" β
"Hardwood, it has to be tough enough to withstand internal strength and not break apart."
"Breakdown?" The girl in the yellow shirt furrowed her slender willow eyebrows, not quite understanding. Don't say she doesn't understand, even Pei Xuanqing doesn't understand. The martial arts of the Tang Dynasty have not yet popularized the concept of internal strength or dark strength, even if some masters know it, it is regarded as a treasure and will not be easily passed on. Ordinary people only know that strength is king, and of course the harder the weapon, the better.
Li Zaixing knew that this kind of thing could not be explained clearly, so it was better to speak with practical actions. He asked Pei Xuanqing to take a few thick pieces of wood from the construction site in the front yard, and in front of Mrs. Yu Guo and others, he shook them one by one. His movements were not large, but the rough and fine wood was broken by him one by one, which was enough to explain the problem.
Mrs. Qiu Guo and the others looked at each other in amazement. The girl in the yellow shirt was even more surprised and delighted, and her eyes were burning. Suddenly, she turned and ran to Mrs. Qiu, and begged in a low voice.
"Auntie, will you lend me the two dragon descending trees you have collected?"
Mrs. Yu Guo glanced at her lovingly: "You bet with him, why do you want me to break the bank?" She glanced at Mrs. Han: "Eldest sister, the good daughter you raised is really a Gu family." β
Mrs. Han smiled gently and looked at her daughter dotingly.
"Dragon Descending Wood is a rare thing, a piece of wood and gold, how can it be easy to deal with people." Mrs. Yu Guo poked the nose of the girl in the yellow shirt: "You can say it, there are two as soon as you open your mouth." β
The girl in the yellow shirt grinned, but she didn't tell the difference. After a while, Mrs. Yu Guo nodded helplessly: "Okay, it's up to you, the future queen, I lent it to you, and I will have to pay it back in the future." β
"Definitely, definitely." The girl in the yellow shirt clapped her hands and laughed.
Li Zaixing looked at it in his eyes and was very speechless. He had heard of the dragon descending wood, but he had never seen the dragon descending wood, and he didn't know whether this dragon descending wood was suitable for making a gun. He only knew that Yang Wulang had made the handle of a big axe with the dragon, but it was a storytelling, probably not true.
What surprised him was that Mrs. Yu Guo said that the girl in the yellow shirt would become the queen, which showed that the Yang family did not realize how dark their prospects were, and in a few years, the powerful Yang family would be wiped out, and where would there be any queen to speak of. These people are too naΓ―ve.
However, judging from the connivance of Mrs. Qiu's sisters to the girl in yellow shirts, they probably have high hopes for this woman's marriage. Indeed, if there is a future crown princess or even a future queen, it will not be a problem for the Yang family to maintain its prestige for decades.
It's a pity that under the nest, there are no eggs, and the Yang family's good wish is destined to fail. After the Anshi Rebellion, Ma Weipo rebelled, as if the power of the Yang family was uprooted, and these people in front of them, including this ambitious girl in a yellow shirt, will disappear into the dust of history, or become the slaves of a certain military man.
In the midst of war, can such a beautiful girl have a better end?
It didn't take long for Mrs. Qiu Guo to ask her to get two dragon descending trees. The dragon wood has been stripped of its bark, revealing a wood as white as snow and crystal like jade, which is slightly cool to the touch, but heavier than ordinary hardwood. Li Zaixing checked it with his hand, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, these two dragon descending wood are excellent gun materials, full of toughness, and a few points harder than the ash rod used in the previous life. If it is used for performance, this is too hard, but for battle, this gun barrel is the best material.
"Mrs. Xie, little lady Xie." Li Zaixing was overjoyed, handed over the dragon descending wood to Al Maidi, and turned around to make a big salute.
The girl in the yellow shirt smiled: "Hehe, just now I was as proud as a tree, but now I am so polite, is it really a compliment?" β
"The little lady doesn't know that there are warriors below, and weapons are the lives of warriors. Today, he was given two dragon trees, and in the future, he will return the lives of the little lady and his wife. Say what you say, never break your word. β
"So serious?" The girl in the yellow shirt covered her mouth exaggeratedly, turned back to Mrs. Yu Guo and smiled: "Auntie, have you seen it, I have two more lives." β
Mrs. Han glared at her and waved her hand angrily: "Hugh is going to talk nonsense anymore and make people laugh." β
Mrs. Yu Guo glanced at the two dragon descending trees distressedly, and said with a forced smile: "If Zhao'er likes it, then it will be worth it." β
β¦β¦
Li Zaixing stood in the front yard of Mrs. Qiu's mansion, waiting for Pei Xuanqing's arrival. Successfully "attached" to Mrs. Qiuguo, one step closer to his plan, and also obtained two fine dragon descending woods, which can be described as an unexpected joy. He told the girl in the yellow shirt that he owed her two lives, and this was not just lip service, but the dragon descending wood was really valuable.
It is said that it is an ancient plant, and although it still exists, due to the climate, the seeds of the dragon tree no longer have the ability to reproduce, that is, the dragon wood is a non-renewable resource. Now, the use of dragon wood is medicinal materials, it is said to be able to test poison, it is not trivial to have a pair of chopsticks of dragon wood, not to mention two high-quality guns, I don't know how many pairs of chopsticks can be made.
It can be said that even if Mrs. Qiu Guo is rich and rivals the country, the gift of these two dragon descending trees is unimaginably heavy. If it weren't for the girl in the yellow shirt begging for her as the future queen, Mrs. Qiu Guo would not have been able to give him such a heavy meeting gift. Because of this, he owes the girl in the yellow shirt a big favor, and there is nothing that can be compared except for life.
Al Maidi hugged the dragon descending wood and was reluctant to let go. "Master, isn't it a pity that this kind of artifact is used as a gun?"
"It's not a pity." Li Zaixing said with a smile: "With a gun made of dragon descending wood, you can give full play to the essence of marksmanship, and you will never be restrained by a wrestler like Pei Xuanqing." β
"Uh-huh." Al Maidi nodded vigorously, her curly blonde hair shining like satin.
"Tomorrow I will go to the West Market, and let Julia lead me to the blacksmith who sold them the knife last time, and make two spear heads." Li Zaixing frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "We may have a battle." β
"Got it." Al Medi replied knowingly.
Pei Xuanqing strode out of it, glanced enviously at the dragon descending wood in Ai Maidi's arms, and said with emotion: "Da Lang, Madame values you very much, right?" β
"I am grateful and willing to serve my wife."
"It's not easy." Pei Xuanqing was relieved, and recruiting a master like Li Zaixing to the Yang family was one of the great contributions he could make for the Yang family. "Let's go, let's go have a drink. In two days, Madame will go and ask Your Majesty for a decree to transfer you to the palace. But ......" He paused, his eyes were a little ambiguous: "The little lady of the Cui family said that she wants you to be her entourage guard first." β
Li Zaixing is not surprised, looking at the temper of the girl in the yellow shirt, she is not a vegetarian. With such a large amount of money, I must make some benefits to go back.
He answered and followed Pei Xuanqing out of the door. Along the east wall, to the middle of the cross street, was about to turn to the east, to look for the horse sui, but saw three or five horsemen from the west rushed over, led by a green horse, the person on the horse was wearing a light yellow round-necked shirt, a pair of black whips on his feet, a jade belt around his waist, a slender hand, picturesque eyebrows, a clever smile, it was the girl in the yellow shirt just now.
"Li Dalang, I gave you a big gift, how can you repay me?" The girl held the reins in one hand, crossed her waist on the other hand, and urged Qinghai Cong to come over.
"I hope that the little lady instructs, as long as something can be done, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not hesitate."
"It's not as serious as going to the soup." The girl chuckled and turned her gaze to Al Maddie: "You just said that you owe me two lives, and now I will take one." My cousin has taken a fancy to you, the orchid maid, are you willing to part with your love? β
Li Zaixing raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Al Maidi. Al Maidy's face turned pale, and even her lips lost their blood. Li Zaixing chuckled and beckoned. Al Maidi was stunned for a moment, and walked over silently, bowing his head, and stood aside.
Li Zaixing frowned: "Al Maddy, what are you in a daze?" Don't you take the dragon wood yet, and still with the little lady? β
"What?" Al Mady and the maiden screamed at the same time. Al Maidi's eyes flashed with the excitement of the rest of her life, but the girl's eyes were full of incredulity. "You...... Would you rather send back the Descending Dragon Wood than give up this orchid? β
"Dare to teach the little lady to know that although Al Maddie is an orchid, to me, she is an angel." Li Zaixing had a calm face and said word by word: "Whoever wants her life must take my life first." Not to mention the dragon descending wood, even the whole world, I won't use her to exchange it. Thank you little lady for a piece of kindness, please take back the dragon wood. β
Al Maidi hesitated at this time, holding the dragon descending wood in his hand, reluctant to return it to the girl. Li Zaixing broke her hand, took the dragon descending wood, and put his hands in front of the girl's horse. The girl didn't answer, stared straight at Li Zaixing's eyes, and suddenly laughed: "I guessed right, you are really different from this orchid." Okay, brother, I'll take it back for you. I'll take these two lives later. Now, get on your horse and go hunting with me outside the city. β
The girl said, glanced back a little nervously, and urged: "Hurry up, you won't be able to leave if it's late." β
