Chapter 823: News

"Oh, a repeater that can shoot continuously, I haven't seen this thing......" Zuo Yuquan said, and walked over, took the repeater in the hand of the fat man surnamed Mao, and looked at it carefully, "This crossbow arm is a steel ......"

"Yes, yes, it's steel!"

"How can this steel be made into a crossbow arm?" Although Zuo Yuquan is an old Jianghu, he has really never seen this kind of machine crossbow, so he is also very curious, Xu Meng next to Yan Liqiang also surrounded him at once, looking at the repeater with curiosity.

"Guest, this steel is not ordinary steel, but spring steel produced by the Manufacturing Bureau, which has strong elasticity and is unique in the world!" explained the shopkeeper of the armory store.

"How do you use this repeater?"

"This is a crossbow, after shooting an arrow, as long as the crossbow rod is pulled back, it will be wound, the crossbow arrows are in this box, and they will enter the groove when they are wound, this box can be loaded with more than ten crossbow arrows at a time, and you can shoot an arrow in the blink of an eye, and you can pierce the leather armor within fifty steps, this is a big killer, let's go out this time, if there is such a crossbow arrow in my hand, my heart is much more steady......" The fat man surnamed Mao explained, and gestured with his hand," I also heard on the side of the road just now that the Dragon Tooth Army of Qiyun Governor's Mansion was equipped with a large number of this thing, and it made the sand dog ghost cry wolf, so I came to the weapon store to take a look, but I didn't expect that there was really a ...... in this store."

"This thing is good, it's just a little more expensive!" Zuo Yuquan groaned and smiled at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, give a real price, if this thing is easy to use, we can kill a few more Shatu dogs when we go out this time, let's also give you publicity, I don't know how many rangers will come to your store to buy crossbows in the future......"

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, "One hundred and eighty-six taels of silver, I will give you an extra arrow box, it can't be lower......"

The tall and thin man with the bow on his back slammed the repeater on the table, and said coldly, "I hate people to fool me the most, you say this and the lowest price, I believe, but if we know that there are people who have bought a repeater from you at a lower price than this, even if it is one less copper plate, I will smash your shop......"

Hearing this person say this, the shopkeeper's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon!

......

The last few people grinded in the store for a few more minutes, cut the price of the repeater to one hundred and seventy taels, and asked the shopkeeper to send twenty matching crossbow arrows, and finally the fat man surnamed Mao paid the money, and carefully packed the repeater in a special leather holster, and everyone left the shop, and the shopkeeper was still sighing in the store.

In fact, the production cost of this repeater in the manufacturing bureau is less than ten taels of silver, and the wholesale price of the manufacturing bureau is one hundred taels of silver.

Yan Liqiang smiled slightly in his heart, sure enough, he bought but didn't sell it, and this shopkeeper is too good at doing business, a crossbow earned dozens of silver from others, but it was as if someone else took advantage of him.

"Where's Jia Lang?" Zuo Yuquan asked when he left the store.

"Jia Lang met two acquaintances just now, those two acquaintances just came back from the Gulang grassland, I heard that I made a lot of money, Jia Lang went to talk to those two people, asked for some news, let us wait for him at the previous restaurant first, it may take some time, and when he is ready, he will come to meet us!" The fat man surnamed Mao carefully carried the repeater on his back, and then he looked at Yan Liqiang twice, "Brother Zuo, this is the little brother is ......"

"This is Wang Baoqiang Brother Wang, I just met, this time I came to the Gulan Grassland alone!" Zuo Yuquan finished speaking, and introduced the fat man surnamed Mao and the tall and thin man with a bow on his back to Yan Liqiang, "Brother Wang, this is Mao Taishun, and he is also an old Jianghu who has been a ranger for more than ten years, and he is righteous, this is Zhao Bing, and he is also a good archer......"

Mao Taishun, and this kind of name?

Yan Liqiang didn't let himself laugh, but hugged the two of them, and the two of them also hugged Yan Liqiang, even if they knew each other.

Zhao Bing didn't talk much, but the chubby Mao Taishun squinted and smiled, "Haha, little brother, don't you think my name is a little strange, no way, this is the name my father gave me, I hope my life will be easier and smoother in the future, but I just like to toss, or I won't come to be a ranger......"

Yan Liqiang smiled stupidly and didn't speak.

"Jia Lang hasn't come back yet, so let's go to the restaurant and wait for him......," Zuo Yuquan said.

"Okay!" the five of them nodded, and then the five of them came to a restaurant more than two hundred meters away and waited for the man named Jia Lang to come back.

This kind of waiting, almost like waiting for more than an hour.

During this time, the five of them found a position by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, chatting while waiting for people, Zuo Yuquan and they knew that Yan Liqiang's archery cultivation had reached the realm of the triple heaven, and they were a lot more polite to Yan Liqiang, and strongly invited Yan Liqiang to join, because among the five of them, although Zuo Yuquan and Zhao Bing could make bows, the archery cultivation of the two people was only the double heaven of archery.

There are too many archery masters around Yan Liqiang, and he has seen a lot of archery masters, so Yan Liqiang never thinks that there is anything great about the archery triple heaven, the fourth heaven or even the fifth heaven, because these people are all arrow-bottom wandering spirits in front of him, and the value of life is the same as the value of an arrow that can be bought by more than ten copper plates, but for ordinary rangers, the archery cultivation of the second heaven can accurately shoot the target within 100 meters, in fact, it is already very good, enough to walk the rivers and lakes to cope with most of the scenes, as for the cultivation of the archery triple heaven, even if he enters the army, he has a good future, at least a lieutenant-level officer, and many rangers with bows on their backs, Bow Dao cultivation is even in the first heaven or has not yet entered the stream, they don't need to compare with any masters, as long as they can be a little stronger than ordinary archers, a little stronger than the weak chickens they have to face, it is enough. Of course, there are also archery masters among the rangers, but the reputation of those people is much better than that of Zuo Yuquan.

Seeing that these rangers were quite interesting and their minds were not crooked, Yan Liqiang agreed to join their team and go to the Gulang Grassland to fight together.

Finally, after almost two hours of waiting, the ranger named Jia Lang finally returned.

Jia Lang is in his twenties, with a capable face, a smart body, and the weapon he carries with him is a pair of long triangular thorns inserted in his waist, Yan Liqiang just heard the sound of the stairs downstairs, and this person rushed up, Zuo Yuquan and they introduced, Yan Liqiang only knew this person, just looking at this person's figure and weapons, he probably knew that this person was good at exquisite kung fu, and he was also very clever.

The news that Jia Lang heard was not too new, that is, the two rangers he knew came to Qiyun County a week ago, and entered the Gulang grassland with people, in just one week, his two friends and a group of other rangers ambushed a cavalry of more than 20 people on the grassland, not only cut back more than 20 heads, but also captured dozens of rhinosaurus horses, the more than 20 black carp cavalry, and a lot of war wealth from the Shatu Seven Division, so his two friends made a lot of money at once, this time when they came back, not only did they get twenty or thirty acres of grassland land deed, the seized rhinosaurus horse and those floating treasures add up to seven or eight hundred taels of silver......

This news directly stimulated Zuo Yuquan and the others to be enthusiastic, and they were eager to try it one by one, eager to rush to the Gulang grassland and cut off dozens of heads immediately.

"Now on the Gulang grassland, there are fat sheep everywhere, those Shatu people, the heads of the black people can be exchanged for grassland, their mounts can be exchanged for money, if you are lucky, those people will also carry a lot of gold and silver treasures, as long as we can ambush a few groups of young men's men and horses at will, and cut off a head at will, this time we will not come to Qiyun County in vain......" Jia Lang licked his lips and said with his eyes shining.

"Then what is the situation on the Gulang grassland now?" asked Mao Taishun.

"I heard that the seven parts of the sand tu have become a pot of porridge, and the black people are also chickens and dogs, and the camp is frightened three times a day, as long as our horses are okay, even if we see their brigade of people and horses on the grassland, they can find it from afar, and then they can escape on the rhinosaurus horse, I heard those two friends say that when they returned to Baishiguan today, they met two headhunting teams composed of wealthy families in the northwest of Baishiguan, the number of people is more than 2,000, well-equipped, and now there are more and more people entering the Gulang grassland, the sooner they go, the more opportunities, the easier it is to get rich, the first batch of those rangers who entered the Gulang grasslandMany people now have more than 100 acres of pasture......"

"Okay, we're almost ready, let's see what else we need, count it again, and when we finish lunch, we'll set off, and strive to get out of the customs this afternoon and go to kill him......" Zuo Yuquan spoke, and everyone nodded.
