【Chapter 226】Damascus knife VS Gurkha scimitar

Su Mu Pu said that he directly picked out the identity of Sawanna, and thought that it was also a manifestation of sincerity, so as to please the other party. At the same time, he felt that this was a kind of pressure on Xu Xingxia. After all, when it comes to the queen of a distant country, Xu Xingxia has to give some face. As long as Xu Xingxia has a slight heart to back down, his subsequent rhetoric can be endless.

As everyone knows, Xu Xingxia has no awe of any queen at all. From the afterlife, what kind of things has he not seen? Britain also has a queen, what's the big deal? Even, he is still a bit machismo, and he always feels that your whole queen is a little unreliable. SM Queen, that's good...... Well, I think crookedly.

"Her Royal Highness, has she disclosed her identity?" Xu Xingxia said disdainfully.

This sentence really made Su Mu Pu say that he was an army. Su Mupu said that he opened his mouth to say something, but it was difficult to say. As a result, when it came to the mouth, it was swallowed back hard, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. Xu Xingxia's speech was too direct and did not consider the feelings of others at all. He's never met such an arrogant guy. Talking to Xu Xingxia, there is no politeness at all. It's so hateful. This is Su Mu Puyue's overall feeling about Xu Xingxia.

However, Xu Xingxia did get to the point. The most important thing about Sawanna is that she can't disclose her identity. She originally hid her identity and quietly came to Ningxia City. If she makes her identity public, she can of course get the protection of the Ming Kingdom. The governor of Ningxia, the governor of the three sides, and the king of Qing will receive her in person to fully guarantee her safety. The fact that her entourage was vultures and bumped into people for no reason is estimated to be harmonized soon. It's just that, in this way, the undercurrents from all sides are surging, and it is difficult to predict.

No matter what point of view, Sawanna's identity is very sensitive. If the Tatars learn of her arrival in the Ming Kingdom, they are afraid that they will not be able to sit still. God knows what you're going to do when you go to Mingguo? Is it to seek the help of the Ming Kingdom to get rid of our Tatar influence on Khorasan? Or, go to the Ming Kingdom to find a more suitable Ruyi Langjun? In the same way, the Ottoman Empire, the Safavid Empire, and even the Mughal Empire have to think about it, what exactly did she go to the Ming Kingdom for? Is it possible to work against yourself?

Not to mention anything else, as long as her identity is revealed, the number of assassins alone will multiply. The small city of Ningxia is afraid that it will fall into the shadow of swords and swords in an instant. Mo Yuegen's enemy definitely doesn't want to see her and Mo Yuegen marry. The enemies of the Ottoman Empire absolutely did not want to see the queen and priestess of Khorasan in harmony. Even, there may be some national forces that have no interest in Sawanna, and they are going for her beauty. In other words, it would be very good if she could snatch her back and be a cottage lady...... Sawanna asked Su Mu Pu to come forward, but she didn't want to reveal her identity. It is estimated that at this time, even she will be angry with the vultures and ruin. If it weren't for the recklessness of the vulture, her situation would not be so embarrassing. If you had gone out of the city smoothly at that time, there would have been nothing. Of course, the culprit is still Xu Xingxia, and he resolutely refuses to let go of this matter. Now, the injured vultures are still in Xu Xingxia's hands!

The person was arrested by Xu Xingxia, and without Xu Xingxia's consent, even Peng Feng and Zhang Qiuqing did not dare to release them easily. Xu Xingxia is a crazy person at all, there is no need, they really don't want to go against Xu Xingxia. They didn't know Savanna's identity. For the sake of an unidentified woman of different races, offending Xu Xingxia again, this matter will definitely not be done.

In fact, the three people present had already learned the true identity of Sawanna. As long as three people know, soon thirty people will know, and three hundred people will know. It's human nature. If you want to keep it secret, it's absolutely impossible. Xu Xingxia will definitely not keep it secret, there is no such obligation. It is estimated that Huyan Aobo will not either, and if King Qing asks, he will definitely tell the truth. The only thing that may be kept secret is Su Mu Pu said. However, if the other two are not secret, what is the use of him keeping it secret?

It is estimated that after this incident, Sawanna will return to China as soon as possible. Once her identity is revealed, it will be quite unsafe for her to continue to stay in Ningxia City. In Ningxia City, there must be spies from all sides. When they learn the news, they will definitely report it as soon as possible. It is estimated that it will take two or three months from the time the various forces get the news to the time they take action. She must return to Khorasan as soon as possible during this time.

From Ningxia City to Khorasan, there are thousands of miles away. On such a long journey, she has to be careful to ensure that she will not be snatched away by a sudden horse thief and dragged back to be a cottage lady. Since she came with a hidden identity, it is impossible to have a lot of protective forces with her. On such a long journey, you can be attacked at any time. Seriously, her situation is still quite dangerous, and she is in the mouth of a tiger!

Huyan Aobo interjected and said, "Escort Xu, Her Royal Highness really wants to solve the problem sincerely. If necessary, she can send you her most sincere apologies. ”

Su Mu Pu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, Her Royal Highness the Queen, I am willing to apologize to you for the rudeness of my subordinates, as long as you agree not to pursue the matter again." ”

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "She should apologize to Luo Dingyuan." He's hurt, not me. I don't need her apology either. ”

Su Mupu said with a smile: "This nature, this nature." Her Royal Highness can apologize to Luo Dingyuan, or to Xu Huwei. In order to show her sincerity, Her Royal Highness the Queen specially prepared a gift for Xu Baihu, and asked Xu Baihu to accept it with a smile. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the attendants outside the hall immediately came in and placed a brocade box on the flower table next to him. Su Mu Pu made a gesture and asked Xu Xingxia and Huyan Aobo to come over. He opened the brocade box, only to see that what was inside the brocade box was actually a short sword. The appearance of the scabbard is very quaint, and it must be some years old. The patterns on the scabbard are stacked and intertwined with each other, and it doesn't look like a thing in the Central Plains.

Su Mu Puyue picked up the short sword with both hands, and said with a solemn expression: "Xu Huwei, this short sword, it is said that it was used by the old man in the mountains in the past, it is extremely sharp, and it is said that there is no blood in killing. The so-called sword is given to the martyrs, and the pink is given to the beauties, Her Royal Highness the Queen, I hope that this short sword can play a more outstanding role in the hands of Xu Huwei. ”

As he spoke, he gently pulled out his dagger. The temperature in the hall seemed to drop several degrees in an instant, and everyone present could feel a noticeable chill. This chill emanated from the short sword. The dagger was less than a foot long, and its surface was blue with many delicate and beautiful patterns. The shape of the short sword is not the common Central Plains short sword, but has a certain arc. To be precise, it may be more appropriate to call it a short knife.

Xu Xingxia estimated that this should be the legendary Damascus knife. It is said that this was obtained by repeated forging using a mysterious technique of forging steel. This mysterious forged steel, which has a special name called Uzi steel, is produced in very small quantities. The biggest feature of Uzi steel is the pattern on the surface, which is extremely beautiful and gives people a dreamlike feeling. Its veins are as delicate as silk, and like a ladder overlapping. Later generations have verified that the swords made of Uzi steel have serrations on the edge of the blade that cannot be seen by the naked eye, so they are particularly sharp.

In the Central Plains, there were also people who mastered this technology. In the Song and Yuan dynasties, it is said to be Wuzi steel. The iron knife is the Damascus knife. However, compared with 100 steel, Uzi steel has a higher cost and greater technical difficulty, and it is finally slowly eliminated. For the army of the Central Plains Dynasty, there were hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, and what was most needed was cheap and practical weapons that could be equipped in large quantities. Even if it is a hundred steels, it cannot be fully equipped, let alone the more expensive Uzi steel.

Su Mu Pu picked up the short sword with one hand, turned the blade up, and plucked a hair from his head, and then gently put it down on the top of the blade. As a result, the strands of hair fell, silently cut off from the middle, and fell to the ground in two.

Immediately, he beckoned another attendant, and from his hand, he took a common Ming army waist knife. But he saw that he was holding a sword in his left hand with the back of the sword facing up, and in his right hand he was holding the sword with the blade downward, and he swung the sword vigorously. As a result, with a snort, the back of the Ming army's waist knife was cut out of a soybean-deep incision, but the short sword was unharmed. Su Mu Pu said that he followed with three consecutive swords, and actually cut off the Ming army's waist knife.

"Good knives!" Huyan Aobo exclaimed slightly exaggeratedly.

Blowing hair and breaking hair, sharpening iron like clay, many sharp swords, can do it. The biggest feature of this short sword is that its slashing power is actually quite large. No matter how sharp its knife edge is, if it doesn't have enough strength, it will definitely not be able to cut off the Ming army's waist knife. The Ming army waist knife, even if it is a big road goods, at least it is made of pig iron, and the back of the knife is quite thick, thicker than a finger. A small short sword can actually cut off the waist knife, which is really sharp.

However, such a miracle, in Xu Xingxia's eyes, is a bit insufficient. If you have seen the Gurkha scimitar of later generations, which is commonly known as the dog-legged knife, you will not be surprised at all by the power of the short sword. The curvature of the dogleg knife has been figured out by countless people, and it is the most conducive to slashing. A small knife can directly cut off a bull's head. Compared to dogleg knives, Damascus knives are really nothing.
