30. Verification
After the effect of time on the coating has been ruled out, the next step is to test whether the number of uses will have an effect on the coating.
From the point of view of secrecy, the best way is undoubtedly to try it himself.
But it was always inconvenient for him to act in the horse house, and if he wanted a livestock, it would reach Ma Qianliang's ears more or less afterwards; And in addition to that, there is another way...... Try the knife yourself.
But Wende is not shaking M!
It's just a matter of urgency and power, and the experiment is not too urgent at this time, so I can't afford to raise the interest of holding a dagger and opening my mouth many times on myself.
After thinking about it, Wende still honestly looked for Chu Yunxiu.
After dinner, the girl went to the side of the Chuyun River according to the usual practice.
In the past few days, Chu Yunhe's condition has improved a bit, although it is not convenient to get out of bed, but the drowsiness is not so serious, he is awake for nearly half of the day, and at the same time, he can eat a little liquid food to replenish his strength.
This was a good thing, but when Winder found them, the two of them looked a little serious. But he also learned about the failure of the dagger from Ma Qianliang, and then he was a little worried.
When Winder entered the house, they were talking about the matter, and they were taken aback.
It wasn't until he found out that the person who came was Wende that Chu Yunhe continued the previous topic after saying hello, "Although this matter is a little strange, it may not be a good thing." Although Chira said that the arrangement was foolproof, I have always felt a little uneasy in the last few days. I've already troubled them a lot before, and if I make them miss something, how can I feel at ease?! ”
Listening to what he said, he was a little uneasy about the lure of the enemy by Ma Qianliang and others.
Wende was a little strange, but he still comforted first: "I think they are still very cautious, and they have also invited reinforcements from the division, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?" ”
"Engong doesn't know anything." Chu Yunhe's expression was still serious, "I still have some understanding of the Fire Demon Sect, since I joined the army in the Duhu Mansion, to the time when I got rid of the military membership of the Duhu Grace, most of the years I have been dealing with them." So it's even clearer: don't look at their reputation in the pass, but their organizational strength should not be underestimated at all! ”
Then he explained in detail that the name of Zoroastrianism began to spread in the four towns of Anxi about 30 years ago. At first, it was in the name of the "Enron" Protector Sect, a small country that had perished in the Western Regions, and carried out activities with the goal of restoring the country. Later, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Central Plains, he had no intention of caring about him, and gradually grew bigger under the nose of the Metropolitan Protectorate, who did not receive much support. Up to now, there are still many people in the Western Regions who don't know why An Ran is, but everyone knows the name of "Vulcan Worship".
They are one of the several forces in the Western Regions and the Silk Road, although the sect leader is very mysterious and few people know, but the good and evil elders in the sect, the four heavenly kings, the twelve envoys, etc., are all masters who have made a name for themselves in the Western Regions.
Among them, the elders of good and evil have all passed the heavenly pass, and the four great heavenly kings are all masters who have reached the realm of perfection a few years or more than ten years ago, and Chu Yunhe is not completely sure of winning against any of them.
The configuration of such a member of Zoroastrianism should not be underestimated in the Central Plains martial arts. If he came out of the nest, he would still be better than Baiyi Villa, so even if he knew that Ma Qianliang's uncle and the current owner of Baiyi Villa were also masters who had passed the heavenly pass, Chu Yunhe was still difficult to feel at ease.
Wende was a little puzzled, "Didn't you tell Ma Qianliang about this?" ”
"How could Chira not know?" Chu Yunhe shook his head, "It's just that they also have a reason why they have to do this." But he didn't say much.
Wende turned her head to look at Chu Yunxiu, and she nodded knowingly.
Wen De didn't ask, and instead said to Chu Yunxiu: "I don't understand many places in the Nine Changes, so you can explain it to me again." ”
"Okay." Chu Yunxiu responded without hesitation, and then went out to call the maid who had been sent out before.
It made Wen De a little embarrassed, and he was silent for a few seconds at Chu Yunhe, and then touched his nose and said without words: "Brother Chu, don't worry too much, your top priority is to heal your injuries, only then can you really help Ma Qianliang and them." ”
Chu Yunhe nodded, "That's what Engong said. Although his expression remained the same, he said nothing else.
Wen De had to get up and leave, and when he was about to go out, he was stopped by Chu Yunhe, "Engong." ”
Turning his head to look, he saw that Chu Yunhe's expression was a little hesitant, and he hesitated again, and then said thoughtfully: "My sister was suddenly changed when she was young, and she was separated from her parents and relatives, and she suffered a lot before I was lucky enough to find her. Because of this, the temperament is a little stubborn, and he doesn't care about many things except his relatives...... This time she said that she wanted to protect Eungong, but she rarely took the initiative - although it may have been because of an agreement with you at first, but I see that she enjoyed it a little in the following days...... So ......"
Chu Yunhe hesitated again, and then suddenly turned around and said: "Although Engong is an extraordinary doctor, he has been in the deep mountains before, but he is not deeply involved in the world. So if you don't have anything important to do in the future, I hope you can let me and my sister stay with you for a while longer. ”
Wen De was also silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Chu for your kindness, then I will be disrespectful." ”
After saying goodbye to Chu Yunhe again, Wen De was a little surprised to see Chu Yunxiu standing not far from the door, and couldn't help but want to hold his forehead, "Did you hear it?" ”
"Hmm......" Chu Yunxiu's voice was like a gnat, and his pretty face was a little red.
Wen De had no choice but to say: "Don't mind, even if Brother Chu doesn't mention it today, I will say it in the next few days." ”
Chu Yunxiu glanced up at Wen De in some surprise, which made Wen De a little strange, "What?" ”
“…… It's nothing. Chu Yunxiu hesitated for a moment, and at Wen De's urging, Fang said softly: "Mr. has been having a sense of urgency in recent days, and he still refuses to rest until the early hours of the morning every day when he practices martial arts. I thought my husband was going to say goodbye without saying goodbye......"
"Uh......" was a little surprised by Chu Yunxiu's intuition, and Winder paused before shrugging, "Isn't the plan as good as the change, it's normal." ”
Then when he saw that there were people in the courtyard, he took the initiative to change the topic, "Brother Chu said that Ma Qianliang had other reasons for dealing with Zoroastrianism, what is it?" ”
Only then did he learn from Chu Yunxiu's explanation: Baiyi Villa is named after Baiyi, and in addition to martial arts, the horses of the villa are also world-famous. There are no less than 1,000 horses raised in several grasslands under the villa, and both the garrison on the Yinchuan side and the protectorate of the Western Regions farther away rely on its output.
Baiyi Villa has also gained a lot of convenience because of this, and there are caravans walking on the Silk Road all year round, making a lot of profits. Therefore, the rise of Zoroastrianism has had a lot of influence on it, and in recent years it has clashed more than once or twice, and it has suffered a lot.
Baiyi Villa has long wanted to give Zoroastrianism a good look, but because the Zoroastrian altar is far away in the Western Regions, and the members are also ghostly, they haven't been able to find a chance.
At this time, they finally had the "divine soldier" dagger as a bait, and they naturally refused to let it go.
And not only Baiyi Villa, but also several other good players invited by Ma Qianliang, most of them also rely on the Silk Road to eat, and they have their own interests in it.
If it weren't for that, just relying on the name of Ma Qianliang of Baiyi Villa, I am afraid that I would not be able to move those masters......
Chu Yunxiu also said that Chu Yunhe was worried because of this, even if Ma Qianliang originally planned to take revenge for Chu Yunhe, but at this point, the decision was no longer in the hands of Ma Qianliang and the "younger generation".
“…… Then it's no wonder Ma Qianliang is in such a hurry......" Winder nodded.
Chu Yunxiu asked, "According to Mr., will that dagger really suddenly fail?" There was an inexplicable trust in his words, but because of the experience of the past few days, he had an instinctive trust in Wende.
"The dagger was indeed the one that assassinated your brother, but why it happened is uncertain." "That's the main reason why I'm coming to you. ”
Seeing that Chu Yunxiu's eyes were a little surprised, Wen De didn't explain much, just took out the dagger and presented it to her.
“…… This! Chu Yunxiu's expression of surprise was even heavier, "Wasn't it taken away by Brother Ma?" ”
"Here's another handful." Wen De compared the sword on Bi Chu Yunxiu's waist, "I made it in order to confirm the effect." ”
Chu Yunxiu was slightly stunned, and then reacted, that is, he was even more grateful, "Mr. actually did such a thing in order to save my brother!" ”
"It's okay." Winder humbled himself and continued, "The blood clotting effect of this dagger is still there, so time should have no effect on the effect. Next, I'm going to see if it has a limit on how many times it can be used. ”
Chu Yunxiu nodded, and was about to take off the detachable sleeve, Wen De hurriedly stopped her, seeing that Chu Yunxiu hadn't reacted yet, she was a little dumbfounded, so she had to remind: "I mean...... Quietly find a livestock to ......"
"Ahh Chu Yunxiu reacted at this time, a little at a loss, his face was slightly red, and he calmed down after a while, "Then please stay for a while, sir." ”
Not long after Chu Yunxiu slipped out alone, he came back with a hemp bag in both hands. She put the bag on the floor in the middle of the house and untied it, revealing a goat with its mouth tied.
"How's this?"
Winder nodded, "It should be enough." So he began to experiment.
And because he was worried that the goat's movement would attract attention, he simply got some anesthetic out and let it go directly. This is followed by a knife to cut out the wound, confirm that the clotting effect appears, and then use meditation to solve the clotting problem.
This was repeated until the goat's blood dried up, and the clotting effect did not disappear.
Wen De felt that something was wrong, and stopped Chu Yunxiu from continuing his actions, "We have been doing this fifty or sixty times, even if Brother Ma wants to demonstrate and test, he will not be able to use so much." There should be another reason for the blood clotting effect to disappear......"
"You mean ......?"
Winder shook his head, "I don't have a clue right now, maybe I need to see it with my own eyes." ”
"That's not going to work!" Chu Yunxiu immediately stopped: "Brother Ma is using that side as a trap, maybe he has already been secretly targeted, where you go is too dangerous!" ”
Wen De said nonchalantly: "But dragging it like this is not a problem, it must be solved." ”
Chu Yunxiu's attitude was still firm, "I'll pass on this news to Brother Ma first, and then let's take a long-term view of the rest." ”
As she spoke, she was about to go out to find Ma Qianliang's hands left in the house, but before her hands touched the door, there was a commotion outside the house.
Chu Yunxiu turned his head and glanced at Wen De, and both broke out of the door to check, only to find that many servants in the courtyard were talking in one direction.
Winder followed and saw that in the moonless night sky, there was now a sky-high fire burning, staining the sky red, as if the dawn was coming.
It should be that there is a fire somewhere over there, he was pondering, and Chu Yunxiu, who was beside Leng Buding, whispered, "This!" ”
Turning her head to look, she found that her face was a little pale, and Wende asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”
Chu Yunxiu was stunned for a moment before reacting, and explained a little nervously: "That is the direction where the courtyard outside the city where Brother Ma used to set the trap is located!" ”
