Step 1: Jing Xiao and Yahao returned to the mining area, and within half a month, they provided weapons to the employees of the mining area.

Step 2: Hou Yitong crossed the ditch from his own weight into the mining area, and at that time, he led two hundred vanguard troops to outflank the rear and encircle and suppress Zhao Ju.

Step 3: Zhao Peng was lured out by Jing Xiao, dispersed the Zhao brothers, and broke them one by one.

This is the plan that the four brothers have been conspiring together for a long time. This calculation is to take care of many parties, at most a few hundred troops are mobilized at most, and more will cause the above to notice, less, relying on labor alone, it is a stupid move, the lives of two laborers are exchanged for one soldier, and they are exhausted before the backup arrives.

At this time, Jing Xiao and Yahao began to set off to return to the mining area, and Yahao needed to return to the shed before the evening, unknowingly, and not give anyone a handle. And Hou Yi and Shen Hao listened to Jing Xiao's suggestion to return to Rongshilou and quietly mobilized their troops within ten days.

Everything went according to plan, and when approaching the mining area, Jing Xiao took the opportunity to ask Yahao: "Choose a weapon to take advantage of, you can't fight those two with your bare hands." ”

Ya replied without thinking: "How can one be enough, if you want two, get me the right pair of knives, don't want that thin blade, get used to it." ”

"That's right, you've picked up a big bargain~."

At Jiuding Ditch, Jing Xiao used the token to come in without hindrance, there is this thing, it is not the usual to check for a long time, otherwise in the car, Wang Yahao hidden under the pile of iron bars will be exposed. Jing Xiao bought the materials as usual, but this time it was not a tool.

Yahao did not stay in the blacksmith shop for a moment, and went back to the shed, and the group of miners had been waiting for him to bring back the good news, seeing the big living people come back, the miners were all in high spirits, after all, waiting for death, resistance is also death, it is better to fight, call for the blood in the body.

Hou Yi and Shen Hao have already entered the city to write an order in the Rong Food Building, and the local Jin family shop will send a letter to summon two hundred armor soldiers, and the less people know about this matter at present, the better. According to Jing Xiao's meaning, they met Mo Yun with a face-to-face meeting, and smelled Mo Yun's buns, which made the two of them startled, this is too similar to what the four of them ate at Jing Xiao's house back then, Jing Xiao's mother's craftsmanship, when the two saw the flower dog back then, they were even more surprised, more than ten years, this dog is still alive.

It all seemed so smooth, so smooth that it was suspicious.

Just when the three parties were ready among the four of them, Jing Xiao made a mess - the body of the chief was gone, and even the original earthen stake was gone. All this, Jing Xiao did not mention it to Yahao, he was afraid that the decisive battle was ahead, and it would be easy to disturb the morale of the army, Jing Xiao tried to comfort himself that he had buried it, and it was easy to hide one or two corpses in this huge mining area, not difficult.

Half a month is enough for Jing Xiao to polish all those pieces of iron into sharp blades, which are used to temporarily reinforce the hoe and pickaxe, and the simple spear can also exert some combat power.

Jing Xiao took out a box from the wooden cabinet, this is the good steel sent by Zhao Ju on that day, and it was originally planned to send out a pair of double knives within two months for Zhao Peng to call, but now not only the time must be advanced, but even the person who ultimately belongs to it will change hands.

Looking closely at the black steel block, Jing Xiao couldn't even find much messy impurities.

According to Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica":

"There are three kinds of steel, there are pig iron sandwiched with wrought iron, there are refined iron smelted into steel, and there are those that are formed in the southwest seamount like purple quartz. ”

The former is steel-filled, the second is steel-making, and the latter is a diamond mistake.

It seems that this is the material after steel filling, but the province has put a lot of effort into it, so it only needs to be forged plastic.

"Double Blade...... Yahao wants a double blade, or a wide-edged blade......"

The steel used to cast the tip of a knife has two essential properties:

One is hardness and the other is toughness.

Hardness is how hard the knife can cut, and the standard is to consider the curling edge and broken edge

Tenacity is how good the elasticity of the knife is, and how far it can bend without crumbling.

But steel itself cannot have both of these properties.

The sharper the knife, but the more brittle it is, it is likely to break when hitting something hard, and the higher the toughness, the knife created is not easy to break, and it can even be bent to a certain extent without breaking, but it has no hardness and cannot cut hard things.

Therefore, a really good knife must try to have both of these characteristics, and the best way is to use [folding and forging].

Steel and wrought iron are finely beaten together layer by layer, so that the knife has both the sharpness of high-carbon steel and the toughness of wrought iron. The sword produced by this process can be worthy of a fine product, however, the quality of the sword depends not only on the material, but also on the blacksmith himself.

Jing Xiao recalled that Hong Blacksmith had taught:

It is said that Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creation" cloud: "Where the iron and steel refining method is made into thin slices with wrought iron, such as a finger wide and half an inch long, it is clamped with iron sheets, and the pig iron is placed on the soil, and the grass is covered with broken grass and the soil is clayed, so it is not fast, and the mud is coated under it." When the fire arrives, the raw steel is first melted and soaked in wrought iron, and the two feelings are combined. Take out the hammer, refine and hammer, and so on. The common name is group steel, also known as the steel filler. ”

Pig iron is placed on wrought iron, and after melting, it seeps downward, which increases the chance of contact reaction between raw and wrought iron, and reduces the probability of pig iron loss. There is no need to seal the mud, but to cover the top with grass and apply mud below, simplifying the operation. Wrought iron is flaked, which increases the reaction surface and improves the yield......

The knife is a combat weapon that is close to each other, and as a tool with a blade throughout the body, it has lost the ability to [break armor], marching and fighting, using guns, spears, ge, halberds, and generals rarely use swords on the battlefield. However, when it comes to solo combat, there is no shortage of knives that are a nimble weapon.

Jing Xiao started the water and made a fire, the tools were complete, the right hand forging hammer, the left hand iron tongs, when the black steel was red, Jing Xiao began to fold and forge layer by layer.

"Bang Bang ~ Bang Bang ~ Bang ......"

Repeatedly forged, folded, flattened, folded, and then flattened, and several times in the middle of the water quenching. Left cold, continue to forge the next day, and so on, for a full ten days.

The good quality of raw materials has helped Jing Xiao save a lot of forging time, and today is the day when the sharp weapon was born.

Sitting at the table with a smile, the sparks by the hearth fell one after another, and the black steel had been cast into a pair of clear-looking twin knife prototypes, soaked in the fire.

The whole process is just the last step, laughing, picking up the knife next to him, and hesitating for a moment at his right forearm:

"Milli... You can take this gift ......"

After finishing speaking, the blade stabbed down! The pain rushed straight over, and the bright red instantly oozed out, and the smile did not hesitate, towards the front of the arm, and the amount of blood also changed from thin to diffuse. The blood flowed down his arm to the bowl below.

Jing Xiao couldn't control the progress of regeneration, as if the body instinctively blinked and breathed, the wound would heal after a while, and it could not be extended, Jing Xiao decisively stabbed again!

At this time, there is no rest, the blood will soon coagulate, Jing Xiao picked up the knife, and directly poured the blood on the red blade and handle.

"Ahhh~", a sharp voice that is more explosive than water quenching, those bloods, every time they touch the knife, condense into blood beads, swimming up and down the knife body, but it never collapses and pops out.

Two bowls of blood poured with a knife, exactly four parts, two bowls each.

After the blood injection, there is no flash, no smoke, no exaggerated aura, two black knives are presented in front of you, under a ray of sunlight, the shape is even brighter, the black is like flowing water through the knife body, look closely, the black is also mixed with this red, the red, is made of blood.

There were still three days left before the scheduled fifteen days, and casting this knife in advance made Jing Xiao feel very happy, and this pair of sharp weapons added a slight chance of victory in this uprising.

Just as Jing Xiao was thinking about how to lure Zhao Peng out with double knives, a commotion broke the silence:

"Run!

Immediately, a wave of shaking swept the entire Jiuding ditch, and it turned out that the Zhao family's military used weak water to melt the stone and soil, hitting the deep layer, resulting in a geological crack. And the crack, faintly protruding a bronze vessel, like a corner of a large piece, and then, several miners flew like crazy to pounce on the bronze, as if in their opinion, this thing is the treasure that the Zhao family has been looking for so hard, as long as they hand in this, they can get free, long-awaited freedom, freedom......

Seeing this, Zhao Jiajun set up a formation to block it, maybe they didn't want to let the miners know what this was, but the soldiers didn't expect that there were more and more miners, and there were only less than a few dozen people on the soldiers' side...... The scene fell into chaos, and the deeply buried things were dug out alive.

When Zhao Peng Zhao Ju arrived, the crowd was already quiet, and the baby was in the crowd, this thing was two ends taller than a person, the body was like a round cylinder, the three legs were steady, and the whole was covered with mud, and no one could see what it was.

"That seems to be a ding, huh?"

"That's right, isn't this Jiuding ditch, our Yuzhou, dig it out is Yuzhou Ding, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, do you know what Yu Ding is, it is a national treasure cast during the Yu period, how can you find it casually?"

"Don't say it, some things depend on fate, fate comes, he comes out by himself. ”

......

As soon as you say a word, the noise sounds.

Zhao Peng looked at it, ordered his cronies to wrap it and take care of it, and then evacuated the crowd.

"My lord, you said that you can leave work when you dig up the baby, is this the baby?"

"Yes, my lord, we can check out and go home after we have completed our tasks, right?"

Zhao Peng was interrogated by countless mouths, and seeing that he was about to catch fire, Zhao Ju suddenly said:

"Everyone should rest assured, go back by yourself first, we will identify this thing, and then decide, if we are looking for it, we will definitely settle the bill for you and stop working......"

Jing Xiao had a strong feeling in his heart that although he didn't know the Dao, this feeling was an instinctive metamorphosis over the past few decades.

However, for Zhao Ju's rhetoric, Jing Xiao only felt that there was something strange in it. When he saw Zhao Jiajun groping up and down the weak water tower on the wall of the pit, a bold idea sprouted in his heart:

It seems that this riot has been ahead of schedule, and now we can only gamble to see if Hou Yi and they can perceive this change~ Otherwise, looking at that posture, it is to use these weak water, this thing can directly kill the miners.

......

Jing Xiao turned around and returned to the bedroom, pulled out a wooden box from under the bed, the dust on it showed that it had not been opened for a long time, took out a wrap of cloth from the wooden box, dismantled and spread it out, a short-handled axe, simple and atmospheric workmanship, Jing immediately took out a chain from the wooden box, the iron rings were tightly and seamless, and the last ring was wide open, just biting with the handle of the short axe, it seemed that this was a one-piece weapon.

"Old man, it's time to open the meat~"

............

Just after noon, the miners gathered at the ring, which was packed into a simple counter for a reward, ready to be rewarded.

Although Xu Tai repeatedly advised not to let go of the guy in his hand, that was the last guarantee, but he still couldn't stop it, and the workers were full of interest, not because of the reward, but because after the reward, they could go home.

Zhao Ju was on the side, quietly observing, the treasure dug out was called by his cronies to be transported back to the mansion immediately, and his brothers were happy for a long time when they saw this thing. But when I came to my senses, I had to complete the last step and send the miners home, a real "homecoming".

Zhao Peng came to Jing Xiao's shop in a hurry, just because he received the news of picking up the goods, Zhao Peng is a rough man, except for his brother, he is the closest to weapons, this time he has to come in person, like a saint.

Jing Xiao was grooming his chain axe, completely ignoring Zhao Peng's turn.

"Blacksmith, I heard that the knife has been made?", Zhao Peng entered the room and saw the pair of shiny double knives staggered on the table, one by one, and he couldn't put it down.

Jing Xiao was startled at first, she didn't estimate Zhao Peng's arrival, and turned her head in a daze: "No, you see that this hasn't been picked up yet, who misinformed you, right?"

"Hey, good guy, it's too much more than I expected, good craftsmanship, blacksmith, I'm very satisfied......", Zhao Peng, who was in joy, completely ignored what Jing Xiao said.

Jing Xiao thought about it carefully, he didn't know much about this knife forging, and he hadn't seen any officers and soldiers urging him in the past few days, could it be that someone was secretly spying on him? Is this the same as the inner ghost he suspected a few days ago? Could it be that Xu Tai is the only one who has this ability, and it is also the kind of hungry wolf and sheep stable eyes that he once had, which made Jing Xiao have to doubt him.

Now this Zhao Peng has come to get the knife, and he has seen the finished product, and under the pit wall is a large number of people, this weak water is afraid that all the people will be wiped out, and Hou Yi will not be able to wait for a long time, under the layers of annoyance, Jing Xiao is also helpless, the formation that inhibits the Dao method, in the ring directly below the shop, is it necessary to take advantage of Zhao Peng's inattention to push it down and control it in the formation?

At this moment, the officers and soldiers led by Zhao Peng shouted: "Who is it?"

The people in the house heard the sound and found it, and saw that it was Xu Taihou who followed Wang Yahao to find Jing Xiao.

Zhao Peng saw the familiar face, full of doubts: "What are you two doing here!"

Before anyone else could reply, a loud voice came from the pit:

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!"

"You guys are buttoned hats!"

"The work has been done, and the things have been found, why don't you let us go?"

I saw that there were two corpses on the ring, Jing Xiao stood on a high place and saw that it was the little official he had built in the earthen pile, and the chief who was poked to death by Zhao Peng, the two of them were unrecognizable, if they hadn't paid close attention, even Jing Xiao couldn't tell who it was.

"Listen! I intended to pay you for your work today and let you go home, but it was a coincidence that my men found the bodies of these two officials, and it was my people who had an accident, so I had to ask clearly, otherwise it would be difficult to reassure the army. Whoever of you did it, stand up for yourselves, don't implicate the innocent, otherwise, none of you will want to leave this place today!"

Clear-eyed people can see that this is a farce, what to pay wages, what to go home for reunion, are all under the guise of fooling people, this crowd has gathered more and more, at this time, as long as the weak water above the three zhang is poured into the dam, this water side, the hundreds of people below are all finished, no wonder Zhao Ju only brought two cronies, so that the miners feel that there are many people, can surround Zhao Ju, but it is they who are calculated, there are more and more people, Jing Xiao saw that someone has come down from the slope to the water tower, at this time the arrow is on the string, and has to ......

Jing Xiao was about to make a move, and suddenly, a figure pounced on Zhao Peng, this figure turned out to be Xu Tai!

Jing Xiao and Ya Hao immediately turned to Zhao Peng's two guards, one turned his head, the other cut his throat, and just like that, he got the result.

And that Zhao Peng was pounced on by this cold and suffered a big loss, the iron bar in Xu Tai's hand had pierced Zhao Peng's neck, Xu Tai took the opportunity to snatch the double knife and threw it to Wang Yahao.

"Quick! Water Tower, you can't call those people over! Hurry!"

Yahao knew clearly, picked up the double knife and swept towards the water tower, Yahao turned around, drew a circle and threw it, and threw the double knife successively, the two black up and down each other, in the shape of a turntable, and spun forward, Yahao got up and jumped, followed by this force and hugged his legs horizontally, circled himself, like a wheel, sandwiched between the two knives, avoided the bow and arrow that was shot, and smashed heavily on the soldier who bore the brunt of it, Yahao kicked out, took the opportunity to get up, and the two double knives were directly inserted into the soldier's neck and lower abdomen in a daze, and the guy fell to the ground in response, and the overall crown was only completed in a few breaths.

Yahao stepped on the soldiers, put out his double swords, his eyes were hideous, and he glared angrily at the rest:

"Today~Don't even think about leaving~"

Xu Tai's side, seeing that Yahao stopped the tragedy, also breathed a sigh of relief, but a scholar is a scholar, he doesn't have much actual combat experience, and he doesn't pay attention to whether he dies or not, and it is the right measure to make up for the corpse with two more knives.

Zhao Peng was not seriously injured, he used his Dao power to protect his body in time, pulled out the iron bar, pointed at Xu Tai's back, aimed at his heart, and went straight to the past!

"Puff~" A bright red rushed out with the force and splashed directly on Jing Xiao's face.

"Xu Tai!", Jing Xiao's roar attracted the attention of the people under the pit.

Seeing Xu Tai being pierced through the heart, everyone's eyes were stunned, and the air was like condensation......

"Do it!", someone yelled, breaking the silence, and all the miners picked up the guys and killed Zhao Ju as if they had planned in advance.

Xu Tai's thin body was like a marionette with a broken string, and he was carried by Zhao Peng in his hands, like a winner showing off his prize.

"Live...... Under...... Go", swallowing a mouthful of blood, saying the last three words, Xu Tai closed his eyes in Zhao Peng's hands.

Zhao Peng raised his hand and waved, and Xu Tai's body was thrown into the dam like a kite with a broken string.

"Zhao Peng, I slashed you!", Yahao waved his twin knives, and the wind swept over.

"Wow!", the sound of iron colliding, Zhao Peng copied out the double knife on his waist, and took the chop hard.

"Kill~!", with a charge order from the east, Hou Yi and Shen Hao led two hundred armor soldiers, like timely rain, outflanked them.

"Haozi, go and take care of Zhao Ju!", Jing Xiao saw that the reinforcements had arrived, so he proceeded as planned.

Yahao knew the pros and cons of the current situation, drew his knife and turned around, rushed down the slope, and ran towards Zhao Ju.

"呲啷~呲啷", the sound of the iron chain crossing the ground, Jing Xiao held the chain axe in his left hand, and the end of the iron chain was wrapped around his arm and came out of the house, standing in front of Zhao Peng:

"Frustrated birds~ There is an account, we have to calculate!"
