Shi Chang was anxious to continue the unfinished chess game, but Su Qin was reluctant to follow up. Old Man Shi was forced by Su Qin to be helpless, so he came out of the chess game for the time being and told him the way he had come up with to rescue Su Qin.

Old Man Shi first introduced himself in 1510, and then happily talked about his future plans.

Su Qin listened carefully, and then he suddenly realized, and his mood was immediately relieved.

He has always felt that since he came out of Longguan, what has happened is very strange and incomprehensible. After listening to Shi Chang's words, he contacted the crossbow machine in Gongsun Yan's hand earlier, and then he understood the ins and outs of the whole matter.

It turned out that the crossbow machine he got from Gongsun Yan was actually from Shi Chang's hand.

Shi Changben is a top master among the residents of Qin Guoyin, who has been obsessed with smelting and casting since he was a child, and he is a genius. Not only are the tools he made skillful, but the swords he forged were as sharp as clay. Because he lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, he had no intention of showing up, and few people in the world knew about it.

Gongsun Yan inadvertently bought a crossbow machine made by Shi Chang on the market and couldn't put it down, but the fly in the ointment was that there were only four crossbow arrows left in the machine, so how could Gongsun Yan be willing to do this. So he tried every possible means to inquire and search, and finally found the manufacturer of the crossbow machine, Mr. Shi.

Gongsun Yan personally went to Zhongnan Mountain, visited Shi Chang, gave a generous gift, and begged for mercy, asking him to build more crossbow machines and crossbow arrows. Shi Chang is an arrogant person, and when dealing with people, he doesn't talk too much about speculation. He saw that Gongsun Yan was too utilitarian, and he was very reluctant to deal with him more, so he never agreed.

However, after more than half a year, one day, Gongsun Yan came again, and took Huo Xuan with him, this time, Huo Xuan said that he would hire him to forge a sword in Yiqu Country with a lot of money. Shi Chang didn't even want to make crossbow arrows for Gongsun Yan, and of course he wouldn't agree to Huo Xuan's request.

Huo Xuan was annoyed and angry, and he led his entourage to take advantage of Shi Chang's unpreparedness and knocked him unconscious. Then he tied up Old Man Shi alive, covered his mouth again, put him in a carriage and forcibly tied him to Yiqu Country.

When Shi Chang mentioned Gongsun Yan and Huo Xuan, he was furious and indignant, and he was so angry that he couldn't stop scolding. Su Qin looked at Old Man Shi's demeanor, sympathetic and amused.

Su Qin didn't understand how Gongsun Yan could have anything to do with Huo Xuan at first, but later, he finally figured it out: Huo Xuan and Gongsun Yan were originally ministers of the Wei State, and the two should have been familiar with each other.

In this way, the two of them were embarrassed and colluded, and they simply harmed Old Man Shi.

Su Qin thought of Gongsun Yan's greedy and selfish character, and thought, "He doesn't know how much benefit he gets from this matter, otherwise how could he be so desperate to do things for Huo Xuan." ”

Old Man Shi scolded Gongsun Yan for struggling to pick it up, and scolded Huo Xuan for losing his conscience, Su Qin also scolded a few words, so the old man scolded even more vigorously, and greeted their eighteenth generation ancestors.

Old Man Shi had been kidnapped to Yiqu Country all the time, and only then did he understand Huo Xuan's true intention of kidnapping him: In the Qilian Snow Mountain, seven or eight hundred miles west of Yiqu, there was a kind of purple marble stone, which was extremely hard, and was used to forge swords, which could create an indestructible weapon.

Huo Xuan got the exact location of the purple marble from a camel man, so greedily paused, and he reported it to Yizhi, the king of Yiqu, who also coveted it. The two then conspired to go to the Qin State to find the top masters, collect purple marble, and forge swords.

Unfortunately, Old Man Shi was caught by them, but he was pitiful for his superb skills, but he caused trouble.

When Su Qin heard about Ziyun Stone for the first time, he was confused, and he hurriedly asked Old Man Shi what was going on.

Shi Chang replied: "Purple marble is very rare, produced under the peak of the mountain that once breathed fire, when it erupted with the flame, the mountain fire could not melt it, it is a very hard gemstone. ”

Su Qin felt incredible when he heard Old Man Shi say that this kind of stone was so magical, and he said, "Then if the sword made of this gem falls into the hands of the Yiqu people, wouldn't they be like a tiger?" ”

Shi Chang snorted angrily and scolded: "Let me forge swords and swords for the Yiqu people, they don't even think about it." Besides, after the forging is completed, isn't the Yiqu people going to kill me, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to prevent future troubles? ”

Su Qin nodded deeply in agreement. He knew that what Shi Chang said was not false at all: all the birds are flying, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. This has been true since ancient times.

Shi Chang was really optimistic, and after scolding Gongsun Yan and Huo Xuan, he looked at Su Qin, and was able to laugh again, and said, "I have more company by my side now, so I don't want to die so quickly." ”

"I first pretended to promise Huo Xuan to go to Qilian Mountain to quarry, even if I really picked it, I will bring it back and forge it slowly, anyway, how long it will take is up to me. As long as I live, I will keep you from dying. Shi Chang finally said his way to salvation.

After Su Qin heard Old Man Shi's so-called method to let himself live, he suddenly laughed and said in his heart: "What kind of method are you, it's just to make me hungry for a few more years." I thought you could untie me and let me out of the cave. ”

Su Qin looked at the old man's smug demeanor, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Old Man Shi saw a smile on Su Qin's face, and he didn't know that he was smiling bitterly, but thought that Su Qin admired his wit very much and was convinced of himself.

Shi Chang said with satisfaction: "Boy, you can play chess with me with peace of mind, with me, they can't help you!" ”

Su Qin smiled bitterly again, but then thought about it: "Anyway, the two of them can't die for a while, and if they can't escape, it's better to just calm down and boil slowly." ”

He continued to play silent chess with Shi Chang. The two of them fought back and forth, and time passed much faster.

In the second half of the night, Huo Xuan and two other people finally appeared in the cave. At this time, the charcoal fire in the cave was almost extinguished, and the temperature plummeted, making Shi Chang and Su Qin shiver.

Seeing Huo Xuan, Shi Chang opened his mouth and scolded: "The heart of the vertical son is really vicious, you want to freeze your ancestor and me to death, the fire is extinguished, and I haven't eaten a bite of rice." The erector is too lacking in virtue, why doesn't God let you cut off your children and grandchildren? ”

Huo Xuan has been scolded by him since he tied up Old Man Shi, and he has become accustomed to it. He smiled and said, "If you want to blame Su Qinxiao'er, the people in the entire camp are looking for him, and I have to accompany him, I can't get out, I neglected your old man." ”

Su Qinxin said: "I was tied up by you in this kind of ghost place, who can find it, why do you accompany others to find me, you still don't know where I am?" To do this is to clear your suspicions. ”

Su Qin looked at Huo Xuan's smiling expression, and couldn't help but be very disgusted with him, this person has one thing on the surface and one thing behind him. This kind of person who hides a knife in his smile and kills people without blinking his eyes is more insidious and vicious than Gongsun Yan.
