Chapter 74: Arms
Horses' hooves resounded like thunder in the martial arts arena.
Ling Yun was wearing a fish-scale armor covered with narrow-sleeved leather armor, and his whole body was hot. He rode a black steed, holding a horse lance of more than four meters in his hand, and Shan Xiongxin on the opposite side rushed straight towards him without fear. When the two horses staggered, the horse lances in the hands of both sides stabbed at each other, and when Shan Xiongxin's spiky lance was in front of him, Ling Yun suddenly deflected his entire upper body to the right, and then his left hand had quickly grasped the part of the horse lance under the blade, and with the momentum of the horse, he held the lance hand and slid forward for a distance, and finally grasped the lance rod, and his left arm clamped the lance rod violently.
"Yikes!" Ling Yun shouted, and with only one left hand, he had already controlled Shan Xiongxin's lance.
Shan Xiongxin held the lance with both hands and exerted his strength, wanting to regain the power of the horse lance, but unfortunately the lance did not move as if it had taken root in Ling Yun's hands, and the next moment, he felt that he had been out of the saddle, and the whole person rose into the air. He refused to give up his spear, and Ling Yun used the momentum of his war horse to pick his whole person into the air. The wind was blowing in his ears, and Shan Xiongxin, who had always boasted of being extremely powerful, was immediately snatched by Ling Yun with one hand, and even people were provoked. Ling Yun drove the black horse to continue galloping, holding his lance flat in his right hand, and holding Shan Xiongxin's golden nail jujube yang lance in his left hand, picking up Shan Xiongxin, who had never refused to abandon the lance, as if holding a banner in the field.
"Good!"
"San Lang is amazing!"
All kinds of cheers rang out, and the competition between Shan Xiongxin and Ling Yun was judged. Previously, Shan Xiongxin relied on his natural courage to exert the power of the golden nail jujube yang lance to the extreme, Cheng Lou, Su Yong, Yang Wei, and Xu Gai made the lance good, and successively defeated under his lance. Who would have thought that Ling Yun, the silver spear general, would go out on horse, but with just one move, he would pick Shan Xiongxin to the sky.
Lingyun rode the horse for a lap on the martial arts arena, and then stopped the horse, and Shan Xiongxin fell to the ground with a lot of points, but the horse lance still missed.
"I'm convinced!" Shan Xiongxin's words rang out like a blade.
He got up from the ground, patted his buttocks, rubbed his wrists, and said depressedly: "The third brother's martial arts have improved a lot, but I didn't expect that I can't even go through the third brother's tricks now." ”
Avoiding the lance and grabbing the lance, everyone knows that it is more difficult to grab the lance. What's more, just now Ling Yun didn't even give up his own lance to Shan Xiongxin, and only used one left hand to snatch Shan Xiongxin's lance in one round, and even provoked people. Pure than strength, but also much better than courage. When it comes to skills, it's not bad.
"It is rumored that Saburo was a man of arms at the age of twelve, and today he was able to see Saburo's riding skills in person, which is really an eye-opener. Although the single brother is brave, his strength is slightly inferior to Saburo. The single brother has always won with bravery, and now when he meets San Lang's strength to beat him and talk a lot, this is one thing to one thing, and he can't give full play to the power of the golden nail jujube yang lance, and it is not an accident to lose in one move. Cheng Lou said with a smile, the biggest reason why they lost to Shan Xiongxin was that they lost to Shan Xiongxin in terms of strength, and this kind of heavy weapon is the most powerful. No matter how good your skills are, if there is too much difference in strength, it will be ten times with one force. Now Shan Xiongxin lost to Ling Yun is the same reason, Ling Yun's strength is greater than Shan Xiongxin's, one arm can clip his lance over, Shan Xiongxin is also a little unexpected, so he will lose in one move.
Qin Qiong went up to help Shan Xiongxin pat off the dust on his body, Shan Xiongxin is also very single, if he loses, he loses, and he can't afford to lose.
Ling Yun jumped off the horse and took off his helmet, feeling very comfortable as the cool early summer morning breeze blew on his face. He leaned on his horse lance and took a deep breath, a little surprised by his might.
In the past few days, he stayed in Erxian Village temporarily, and everyone learned martial arts skills every day, and almost competed with all the brothers, and also came to a result that surprised him.
So far, he has not been compensated for a single defeat.
Judging from the martial arts competition in the past few days alone, among the thirteen brothers who have just formed a righteous marriage, if you want to rank it, there is no doubt that Ling Yun, who has won every game, is the highest in force. Under Lingyun, it should be Qin Qiong, then Lai Quan, then Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Lou, then Sima Dejiao and Yang Wei, then Wang Bodang, Su Yong, Huang Junhan, Zhai Rang, Xu Gai, and Dou Jiande.
Dou Jiande's martial arts are the weakest among everyone, which is somewhat unexpected by Ling Yun, and even Zhai Rang's martial arts are actually not too strong.
However, the thirteen brothers, except for Ling Yun, Shan Xiongxin should be the most powerful and the most powerful with the lance, and the lance method alone should be Cheng Lou's most refined. And the whole spear is the strongest, and Wang Bodang's archery is the best.
He was really surprised at first that he was a little stronger than Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong, Wang Bodang, Lai Cheng and others, but these days of learning also allowed Ling Yun to have a solid understanding of his martial arts skills, and he was no longer in the same unclear state as before.
"How's this lance?" Shan Xiongxin patted his ass and walked up to Ling Yun and asked with a smile.
Ling Yun lifted the lance in his hand and rubbed it carefully, this was not the Tianlong City Breaking Lance that Yang Guang gave him, but a treasure-grade horse lance produced by the Horse Lance Workshop, an underground military workshop, with an annual output of only eighty pieces. Shan Xiongxin is very generous, this kind of treasure horse lance worth ten war horses sold by a single family, and the remaining twelve brothers of the righteous family, he gave one each. "Yes, it's very easy to use, it's worth ten good horses."
In ancient times, horses were in high demand at any time, especially fighting horses, and well-trained war horses were more valuable. An ordinary ploughing ox is worth about five to ten strokes, while an ordinary pulling horse is at least ten strokes. If it is a well-trained war horse, the starting price is also about eighty. A single family of high-quality horses sells for ten high-grade war horses, which are worth between 800,000 and 1 million yuan, and it cannot but be said that this is a very precious luxury. At a time when a pound of rice is only a penny, a weapon is worth a million pounds of rice, which can be imagined. And Shan Xiongxin gave twelve high-grade horse lances to his new brother at once, giving tens of thousands of gifts, even if the cost of his own property will not be so high, he can also see Shan Xiongxin's light wealth and righteousness, as well as wealth.
Xu Gai strode towards them, the same armor on his body rattled, and Xu Gai's strong disciples, who were less than thirty, were equally bold. The armor that Ling Yun wore just now came from Xu Gai's gift, and like Shan Xiongxin, Xu Gai gave each of the righteous brothers a set of high-grade armor worth hundreds of yuan. Shan Xiongxin secretly made zuò horse lance, and the Xu family secretly had an armor workshop.
In fact, in the past few days, in addition to receiving Shan Xiongxin's horse lance and Xu Gai's armor, Ling Yun also received a horizontal knife from Cheng Lou, a war horse from Su Yong's family, a bow from Wang Bo's family, a spear from Zhai Rang's family, and a crossbow from Huang Junhan's family. In addition, there are spices sent by Dou Jiande, silk sent by Luo Yi, etc.
In addition to Dou Jianxing, Luo Yi, Lai Liulang, Qin Qiong, Yang Wei, and Sima Dekan, the gifts of Shan Xiongxin and Xu Gai were both precious and amazed by Ling Yun.
They were originally trading together, and now the gifts they took out were armor and weapons that were strictly forbidden by the imperial court, and even war horses, bows, crossbows, etc. Looking at each family, Ling Yun couldn't help but think in his heart, they seemed to be secretly operating a huge underground arms production, and each family produced it by category, a single family produced horse lances, the Xu family produced armor, Zhai Rang's family made spears, Huang Junhan's family produced crossbow machines, Wang Bo's family made bows, Cheng's family made knives, and Hebei's Su Yong sold horses. This is a complete set of military production.
What he didn't know very well was that Shan Xiongxin suddenly told him and everyone about such a confidential matter by taking the opportunity of giving gifts.
"We want to ask Saburo for a favor!" Xu Gai said straight to the point, "If San Lang is willing to help with this, then in the future, our military workshops will give a 10% share to San Lang." "Yicheng's share will definitely not be less, and Lingyun is not very clear about the situation of other families, but it is also extremely remarkable to calculate the annual output of a single horse lance workshop of 1,000 horse lances. Eighty treasures, three hundred upper grades, and one thousand middle and lower grades. A treasure horse lance is worth ten high-grade war horses, a high-grade one is also worth five high-grade war horses, a middle-grade one is worth two, and a low-grade one is worth one. It doesn't seem like much, but these high-grade war horses are sold at the price of 100 guan, and the gross income of a single horse lance workshop can reach the value of nearly 5,000 war horses a year, which is a huge business with an annual gross income of 500,000 guan. Even if the net income is only one to two percent, there is a huge profit of five to one hundred thousand yuan per year. Give Lingyun a cheng, and you can also get an income of 5,000 to 10,000 yuan a year. Moreover, this is only a 10% share of a single workshop. The other ordnance and war horse businesses are bound to not be too small.
Friends in the rivers and lakes, although they are brothers and sisters, there is also a relationship of interest behind this.
"If there is anything I can do, of course I don't need to say more." Ling Yun didn't refuse, but he didn't directly agree.
Xu Gai said: "I heard that San Lang went south this time and married the white-haired princess of the Gao family, and also married the leader of the Murong League, is this really true?" ”
"That's right!"
Xu Gai nodded, and said, "I also heard that San Lang went south this time, found out his identity, and found his biological father?" ”
Ling Yun glanced at Shan Xiongxin, he had told Shan Xiongxin about this, and he had also told Lai Liulang and Shubao, but Xu Gai knew about it, and it must have been Shan Xiongxin who had told him. However, he didn't blame Shan Xiongxin, when he said it, he didn't think that he would keep it a complete secret. Xu Gai and Shan Xiongxin, they are important allies who are both prosperous and loss-making, and there are some things that they will definitely share information.
"I know what the fifth brother wants to say, that's right, King Jin is my biological father, and I am the illegitimate son of him who disappeared in his early years. This time I went north, and I also hung the official position of the court conferred by the King of Jin to join the army. Ling Yun said calmly.
After hearing this, Xu Gai exhaled easily, "If that's the case, that's great, San Lang can definitely help us with this." ”
PS: It's my birthday today, and I probably won't be available in the evening. Time flies, time flies, hey, another year of wasted time! But I have to thank the friends who have accompanied Muzi all the way, because of your support, I can continue to move forward on this road!
