"Big brother, I'll go first! I've got these stuff with me! You and my wife can rest assured, after learning the martial arts you gave me, I won't be afraid of getting hurt in the future! At the end of the three days, Mark left home again and returned to the border.

This time, Mark's horse had been replaced with a saddle and stirrups specially prepared by Ma Shuo. Also, it was the weapon that Ma Shuo specially asked the old blacksmith to make for Mark. With these equipment, Mark's combat effectiveness will reach a new level.

As for the heads of those barbarians, Ma Shuo didn't ask for any of them, and gave them all to Mark. Because for him, whether it is himself or Liu Yi, in fact, military merits do not have much meaning for the time being, and it is better to directly help Mark to rise to another level.

In fact, at the beginning, when Ma Shuo handed over the prepared things to Mark, he was still a little entangled in his heart. Because those things are not available in the Great Qin Kingdom, once others know, they will definitely inquire about him. Ma Shuo is actually not afraid of trouble, but if Mark's status is higher, there will be less trouble at that time, on the contrary, he will be able to gain more benefits from these things. If Mark can be a thousand-mile, he will basically have a certain say at the border.

From the point of view of personal strength, after the current Mark's cultivation of the Crazy Demon Skill, it is enough to match. Now, the difference is military merit. Therefore, Ma Shuo has to find a way to help Mark gain military merit, as long as it is reasonable and legal.

Sending Mark away, Ma Shuo went straight to Muramasa. The village is the head of the person in charge of the village, and he was also born in the border army. Ma Shuo took the initiative to rescue the villagers this time, and not only won the gratitude and recognition of the villagers, but also the recognition of these principals in the village.

"Xiaoshuo, thank you so much this time! Well done! Muramasa was in his early fifties, and when he saw Ma Shuo, he patted Ma Shuo on the shoulder happily and said in a very happy tone for his juniors.

"Uncle Muramasa, you're welcome! This is what I should do! Ma Shuo was modest.

"Xiao Shuo, come here now, is there something wrong?" Muramasa knew that Ma Shuo must have something to do when he came to find him.

"Uncle Muramasa, I came to look for you, and there is indeed something. This time, our village was attacked by barbarians, and I thought, in order to prevent it, should our village strengthen its defenses, in case there are barbarians coming again, so that the villagers can suffer less losses! Ma Shuo didn't beat around the bush, and directly said his intention.

"Yes! This time the loss is not small! What you say makes a lot of sense. Our village really lacks a certain means of defense. I think we're going to have to build at least a wall. It's just that there are too few people in our village! In fact, Muramasa also knows the importance of building defense methods, but he knows better that this little manpower in his village is really going to be all involved in building defense facilities, and I am afraid it will be difficult.

"Uncle Village, do you think we can do this?" Seeing that the village was a little embarrassed, Ma Shuo said his thoughts. In fact, before coming to the village, Ma Shuo had already thought about it, the situation in the village was really difficult, so he had to take defensive measures according to local conditions.

Ma Shuo said everything he thought, and Muramasa listened to Ma Shuo's explanation, and immediately showed a relaxed smile on his face, this can be done.

However, this is a major event in the village, and it is not good for the village to settle down by himself. So, he asked Ma Shuo to come back to him tomorrow, and he wanted to gather a few principals to discuss it together.

Ma Shuo came back from Muramasa's house, but he was not idle. He took Liu Yi and the others, led two horses, and entered the valley with iron ore again. Ma Shuo is going to get another batch of iron ore back to build some more weapons for himself and others.

This time, the speed is naturally much faster. Not only that, but there is a lot of strength in numbers, and the work is much faster. After half a day's work, everyone returned to the village with a lot more iron ore than the last time. This time, Ma Shuo plans to use these iron ores to forge a few knives for Liu Yi and them, and at the same time forge a few more iron arm bows. As everyone rested their martial arts, ordinary bows could no longer meet the requirements, and only the iron arm bow would not be broken.

Ma Shuo estimated that he could now directly pull out the strong bow of the nine stones. Nine stones, more than 500 catties, used on a bow, is already very powerful. Mark's punch can have the power of a thousand pounds, but the power of the fist is not exactly the same as drawing the bow. Draw the bow, but also pay attention to a continuous output, you can't shoot an arrow and be done. Nine stones' bow, Ma Shuo's current strength, it should still be possible to shoot twenty or thirty arrows in one go. It's just that he doesn't have the opportunity to practice for the time being, so Ma Shuo is not sure that he can do that.

Seeing the old blacksmith again, the old blacksmith's attitude towards Ma Shuo was much more enthusiastic, and he was no longer as cold as the first time.

"Boy, what are you going to do this time?" The old blacksmith actually took the initiative to ask Ma Shuo.

"Uncle Tie, the kid wants to fight a few knives this time, and a few tires with iron arm bows!" Ma Shuo directly said his request, in front of the old blacksmith, just get straight to the point.

"Knife, is there anything special?" The old blacksmith felt that Ma Shuo should have his own requirements, and the previous two drawings had aroused the old blacksmith's great interest, so he hoped to see something new from Ma Shuo's hands this time.

"Uncle Tie, look at this!" Ma Shuo really took out a drawing. Seeing the things on this drawing, the old blacksmith's eyes lit up, and a rare smile appeared on his old face.

"Get it in ten days!" After hesitating for a moment, the old blacksmith set a date for Ma Shuo, and then sent Ma Shuo away.

After some discussion with the other principals, Muramasa finally adopted Ma Shuo's suggestion.

The next day, the whole village came alive. This time, almost the whole village went into battle. Because of the barbarian invasion a few days ago, everyone experienced the pain of losing their relatives and homes. Some of the able-bodied laborers were sent into the mountains to cut wood, while those with a little less physical strength were assigned to dig pits around the village. Others were arranged to pick up rocks or something. Anyway, there were no idlers in the whole village, including children.

Because Ma Shuo was the designer of the entire village's defense system, he did not participate in specific actions this time, but was directing those who dug the pits to dig in which places. It was Liu Yi and others who followed the others into the mountains to cut down trees.

The scene of work is vigorous. The pit that needed to be dug was dug quickly. At the same time, people who entered the mountain began to send back the cut wood one after another.

There are more and more materials, and the critical time is coming soon!
