Chapter 27: Assassination
Wang Jian and Meng Yi were holding a Tang knife and an embroidered spring knife, and the two of them were flying up and down in the yard, which was not exciting.
And Qin Xi stood in the corner of the courtyard and watched quietly, seriously learning the kung fu of the two, who told his irresponsible teacher to run away.
After the two stopped, they looked at the knife in their hands very highly, both in hardness and sharpness, which were better than copper swords.
Wang Jian asked, "Why don't you have a sword?" ”
Qin Xi said: "Because these are made for soldiers, these knives are actually more suitable for soldiers to fight. ”
"Well, did you name these weapons?" Wang Jian asked eagerly.
Qin Xi pointed to the weapons and introduced them one by one: "This is the Qin Heng Knife (Tang Heng Knife), this is called Qin Mo Knife (Tang Mo Knife), this is called the Xiuchun Knife, and this is called the Qin Scimitar." ”
"Qin Mo's knife can be said to be specially made for infantry to deal with cavalry, it is very heavy, it can easily cut off the horse's legs, and the person who uses it also needs to have great strength."
"This Qin scimitar is found by the cavalry, one person holds two knives, and the backhand holds it to impact the enemy formation, and the harvesting speed is extremely fast."
Meng Yi said: "If this is made of pure iron, I am afraid it will be difficult to equip the army, and the maintenance of iron tools is much more difficult than that of bronze tools." ”
"That's right." Qin Xi said: "So I only asked someone to build these few, and after I improve the iron-smelting process next, maybe I can equip the army." ”
Wang Jian said: "But you can use copper first, and you don't have to stick to iron all the time." ”
Wang Jian actually didn't believe that Qin Xi could change the problem that iron was difficult to maintain, so he proposed to use copper to make it.
In fact, the copper weapons of this era were mixed with iron when forging to improve the hardness of the weapons, but they were still dominated by copper, and iron was only an auxiliary.
Qin Xi knew that Wang Jian didn't believe in himself, and he didn't say anything, after all, he didn't have much confidence in making this thing.
Qin Xi said: "In addition to watching these, I have one more thing I want my eldest brother to help with, but since Meng Yi is here, let Meng Yi do it." ”
"What's the matter?" Meng Yi asked.
"Build a school." Qin Xi said.
"Won't you be able to do this yourself?" Wang Jian said.
Qin Xi said: "I don't have such a lot of strength, but I can come out with the money." ”
"I need to build a school in every three villages, and the people in all three villages can send their children to learn simplified Chinese."
"It's not a simple matter, and the amount of money needed is not a small amount." Meng Yi frowned and said.
"It's better to take your time than not to do it all the time." Qin Xi said.
Meng Yi nodded and said, "But at this time, you still need to report to His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise those big families will definitely attack you." ”
"Your Majesty, I'll report on the construction of the school, and I can also send some people to help." Wang Jian said.
Soon after, Wang Jian left with all the new weapons and Meng Yi.
After Qin Xi also dealt with the matter here, he rode to the ironworks alone.
Qin Xi didn't take the housekeeper with him this time, because the housekeeper was directing people to load the books into the truck at this time, and then transport the books to Xianyang City.
Qin Xi rode a horse, passing through a valley, only to see a well-dressed man blocking his way.
Qin Xi stopped his horse and said, "May I ask who Your Excellency is?" Why is it so dangerous to stand in the middle of the road here? ”
I saw that this person drew the sword in his hand and said: "You have contributed to the explosion of Qin's strength, and you have contributed to the abuse, and the people of the six countries should be killed!" ”
Qin Xi frowned and said, "Are you from the Six Kingdoms?" ”
"Exactly! Zhao Guo Li Zhong, I am here to take your life! Saying that, this person jumped up, and thought of Qin Xi's slashing with a sword.
"!" Qin Xi was shocked, grabbed the sword on the horse's back, and rolled over on the horse's back.
And that war horse was directly hacked to death by this person, since the crossing, Qin Xi has never been so close to death.
Qin Xi knew that it was unreasonable for this kind of brain-dead, so he quickly pulled out the bright Tang knife from the sword holster.
"Good knives! It's a pity that you won't need it in the future. Zhao Zhong rushed up again with his sword.
"Don't think I haven't practiced!" Qin Xi roared angrily and used the sword as a sword, using a few swords taught by his previous master, forcing Zhao Zhong to retreat.
"I didn't expect the knife in your hand to be used like this." Zhao Zhong was very surprised, he attacked with restraint sword technique, but the other party used sword technique.
Qin Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, although the Tang Dao was a knife, it could also be used as a sword, making sword moves a breeze.
Suddenly, Zhao Zhong slashed the ground with his sword, and suddenly dust and sand shot towards Qin Xi, making it difficult for Qin Xi to even see Zhao Zhong's actions.
Qin Xi's eyes froze, and with a wave of his sleeves, he knocked off the flying sand in front of him, and looked ahead intently.
"Kill!"
Zhao Zhong suddenly appeared on the flying sand, and the bronze sword in his hand stabbed towards Qin Xi.
Qin Xi immediately held the Tang Dao back, and on the side of his body, the bronze sword and the Tang Dao suddenly rubbed into a burst of fire.
Qin Xi turned around violently, the Tang knife in his hand returned to his forehand, and he slashed down with the knife in both hands.
"Pong!"
After a crisp sound, the copper sword in Zhao Zhong's hand was cut off by the Tang Knife, and this copper sword was much wider than the Tang Knife.
As soon as Qin Xi returned the knife, the Tang knife was directly against Zhao Zhong's neck.
Zhao Zhong straightened up and said, "It's really a good knife, and Gongzi Qin's strength is beyond our plan." I'm losing, kill me. ”
"You're not afraid of death?" Qin Xi asked.
"The Zhao people are never afraid of death, especially when facing you Qin people!" Zhao Zhong said very backbonely.
"Life is beautiful, don't you want to see a better future where everyone will have books to read in the future?" Qin Xi asked.
"Zhao Guo is no longer here, what is the future for me Zhao people!" Zhao Zhong stared at Qin Xi fiercely and said.
"I won't be the first, anyone who aids and abets! All are our enemies! ”
Before Qin Xi could react, Zhao Zhong grabbed Qin Xi's knife fiercely and slashed his neck.
Qin Xi quickly withdrew his knife, but Zhao Zhong had already fallen to the ground, his neck stained red with blood.
Blood flowed to the ground, and Zhao Zhong lost his life after a convulsion.
Qin Xi looked at Zhao Zhong's corpse on the ground, his mind went blank.
"Murder! Kill yourself! ”
This is the first time Qin Xi has killed someone, the first time in two lifetimes.
There is no imaginary fear and fear, but I just feel that it is a pity that such a person dies like this.
Qin Xi slowly put away the Tang knife, and when he turned around, he actually saw the master who taught him swordsmanship before-Nie Li!
Nie Li asked, "How does it feel to kill someone for the first time?" ”
Qin Xi said in a low voice: "It's a pity that a life is lost like this. ”
Nie Li was stunned, he didn't expect Qin Xi to say this.
Ordinary people will have fear in their hearts after killing someone. However, looking at Qin Xi's expression, he couldn't see a trace of fear, only regret.
Nie Li said: "Every life has the meaning of every life, and if you lose the meaning of existence, it is not a pity to die." ”
"Is there a meaning to exist?"
Qin Xi lowered his head and walked over to his side, and said, "I'll have someone clean it up later, thank you Master for coming to save me." ”
