Chapter 70: Working overtime

"Absolutely!"

Zhao Qiankun answered as soon as possible, and said excitedly.

"With your bow and crossbow, the combat effectiveness of our army will be greatly improved, such a great achievement, even if the court also steals people to oppose it, show them this and that, it will definitely allow you to sit firmly in the title!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, for the sake of his identity and status, he did not hesitate to agree to carry out an assassination mission that might be life-threatening, and also handed over the bow and crossbow.

"Brother Zhang, I can't pull it out!"

Just as the two were talking, Zhao Ling'er's voice came, Zhang Xiaochi followed the sound and found that she was trying to pull out the arrow feather inserted into the door panel.

"Ling'er, I'll come."

Zhao Qiankun walked over, holding a bow and crossbow in one hand and an arrow feather in the other, and subconsciously wanted to pull it out, but it didn't succeed.

When he came back to his senses, he calmed down, and his right hand began to exert force, but the arrow feather still did not react, and finally, it was only when he blushed that the arrow feather was pulled out by him.

However, at this time, the arrow feathers have lost their iron arrows.

"Awesome, awesome!"

Zhao Qiankun couldn't help but praise again, although the difficult pull out of the arrow feather made him a little embarrassed, but with the love for the bow and crossbow, these negative emotions were completely negligible.

"Xiaochi, can this be mass-produced in a short period of time?"

"The parts of the bow and crossbow are a bit complicated."

"It took me a day or two to make these two crossbows."

"So long!"

Zhao Qiankun's face was solemn, he was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice.

"Make some of them first, and it's best to have the assassination team have a bow and crossbow, which will also increase our chances of success."

"Is there a blacksmith in the army?"

"Yes."

"Brother Zhao, tell me to go down and let all the blacksmiths in the army come to the blacksmith shop in the town, and I will teach them how to build it there."

Zhang Xiaochi said seriously.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Time was urgent, Zhao Qiankun turned around and left, but soon turned back.

"Xiaochi, can I take a bow and crossbow back and show it to my father?"

"Okay, Brother Zhao go and come back quickly."

Zhao Qiankun left, but Zhao Linger didn't want to go back, and Zhao Qiankun was in a hurry to go back to recover his life, so he had to entrust Zhang Xiaochi to take care of Zhao Linger.

When I came to the restaurant, there were not many customers in the store, and after checking it, it turned out that the wine sent by Xu Kunming was almost sold out.

Zhang Xiaochi apologized to everyone again, and said that he could come to the restaurant to buy drinks in the future, and when he was busy with the things at hand, he would definitely compensate everyone.

Then, Zhang Xiaochi took Lin Xiaoxi and Zhao Ling'er to the only blacksmith shop in the town, and also brought a pair of beef tendons to make bowstrings.

Zhao Qiankun was very fast, and in less than a stick of incense left, he took the five blacksmiths in the army to the blacksmith shop.

"Boss, from now on, I will requisition your blacksmith shop."

"But don't worry, I will give you double the income of the past every day, this is a hundred taels of silver deposit, you can collect it first."

Zhao Qiankun didn't talk nonsense at all, and after finishing speaking, he directly took out a hundred taels of silver and gave it to the blacksmith shop owner.

After receiving the silver, the blacksmith shop owner immediately smiled, and without saying a word, he took the silver and turned around with his apprentice and left.

"My dad personally tried your bow and crossbow, and he liked it very much, and he was full of praise for it!"

"If my uncle likes it, it's fine."

Zhang Xiaochi smiled and nodded.

"Xiaochi, it's up to you to control the rest."

Zhao Qiankun said solemnly.

"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

"Masters, I'll start now, you all look carefully."

After the order, Zhang Xiaochi picked up the hammer and began to beat.

The bow and crossbow have many small parts, and it is a little difficult to operate, but Zhang Xiaochi has experience in making it once, so when it comes to operation, it is still relatively familiar.

Two hours later, Zhang Xiaochi completed the production of all the parts, and then assembled all the parts together in front of everyone, and soon, a brand-new bow and crossbow appeared in everyone's sight.

"Do you all understand?"

Zhao Qiankun asked.

A group of blacksmiths shook their heads a little embarrassed, and said that these things were too fine, and they had great requirements for the level of forging, and they all said that they didn't have much confidence.

"Time waits for no one, since it won't, let's contact more and learn more."

Zhang Xiaochi pulled Zhao Qiankun to a no-man's corner and asked softly.

"Brother Zhao, how many people participated in the assassination?"

"About ten."

"What's wrong?"

"Ten people, we now have three bows and crossbows, and if we make seven more, we can have one for each person."

Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, and then Mao recommended himself, expressing his willingness to contract the remaining seven bows and crossbows by himself, which also happened to give the blacksmiths a chance to learn.

"Xiaochi, isn't it too hard for you to do this?"

Zhao Qiankun said in a deep voice.

"It's okay, it's all trivial."

Zhang Xiaochi shook his head calmly, he didn't ink, and started to operate again.

In this way, he was busy until ten o'clock in the evening, and Lin Xiaoxi and others also accompanied him in the blacksmith shop, and then he sent Lin Xiaoxi and Zhao Ling'er back to the restaurant, and then returned to the blacksmith shop to start making parts.

Time passed, and Zhang Xiaochi was busy until five o'clock the next day, and he finally completed the production of all the parts.

During this time, in addition to eating and drinking and solving the three emergencies to leave, he has been staying next to the construction platform for the rest of the time, fortunately his physical fitness is beyond ordinary people, otherwise, under such a high-intensity work, he will definitely not be able to last so long.

However, after staying up for so long, he was also quite sleepy.

"Husband, go and rest."

Seeing Zhang Xiaochi's tired look, Lin Xiaoxi's eyes were red, and he said that he would not let Zhang Xiaochi continue to assemble, and called Zhao Ling'er, and the two of them forcibly pulled him back to the restaurant.

Zhang Xiaochi was really sleepy, took a cold shower, and then fell asleep on the bed in seconds.

I don't know how long I slept this night, but when he woke up and walked out of the room, he found that the sun was already shining outside.

"Husband, you're awake!"

"Creek, how long have I been sleeping?"

Zhang Xiaochi scratched the back of his head and asked while yawning.

"It's noon the next day."

Lin Xiaoxi explained softly.

"I've slept for so long!?"

Zhang Xiaochi was shocked and hurriedly asked.

"Where's the bow parts?"

"I'm going to assemble it."

"Husband, don't worry, Brother Zhao has already assembled the bow and crossbow and equipped it for the members participating in the operation."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi breathed a sigh of relief, and then, after washing up under Lin Xiaoxi's service, he was about to go to eat, and there were two large wooden barrels in the courtyard.

"Brook, when did this barrel come over?"

"This morning."

Zhang Xiaochi's eyes rolled around, and then told Lin Xiaoxi how to make rice wine, and told her that when she went out on a mission, she could try to brew it when she was bored.
