"Huo Shi, I have carefully checked your hands, the person who took over the tendons for you at that time should not have much experience in this area, and the connection technique was also extremely rough, and the nerves were wrong, resulting in the loss of most of the function of your hands, and the recovery was very unsatisfactory, but you have a lot of perseverance, and you can actually rely on the acquired rehabilitation training, and you can reach the point where you can live without being affected, amazing!"

"I can eat with chopsticks with both hands, and it takes a lot of effort to get dressed, at least I don't have to trouble others." Huo Shanzi smiled self-deprecatingly and retracted his arm full of scorn.

It's so ugly, it doesn't look like a hand, it looks like two dead branches.

"Master Huo, my method may require you to suffer again, and it may be even greater than your first pain." Luo Xing said.

"What if you could pick up the hammer again and suffer again?" Huo Shanzi smiled, as a forger, how could he not want to forge a weapon that would make him famous for centuries.

This is his original intention and dream.

"My treatment may last for a long time, about a year or so, and Master Huo must also be mentally prepared."

"I've been here for ten years, and I still care about a year?"

"That's good, I'll start from the day, you have to quit drinking, it's best not to drink a drop of alcohol, and then, I will prepare a medicinal soup, not for you to drink, but for you to soak your hands, to soak all of your elbows into it, once in the morning and once in the evening, about half an hour each time, the temperature of the medicinal soup is best kept at the level of hot mouth but can be imported, this soaking time depends on the condition of your wrist, a month or even three months is possible."

Then Luo Xing taught Huo Shanzi a few exercises for his finger joints and wrists, and asked him to practice every day, which is actually a rehabilitation action, but practicing now is also to get started faster in the future.

"Huo Shi, this is a combat knife I designed for myself, take a look." Luo Xing handed the style of the "Tang knife" he painted to Huo Shanzi.

As soon as Huo Shanzi took the drawing, he raised his eyebrows: "Holding a knife in both hands?" ”

"Yes, the two-handed knife is more explosive, more lethal, and it is more refreshing to fight!" Roshing gave his reasons.

"Shichiro, have you considered the Zimu knife?" Huo Shanzi didn't say anything, everyone has their favorite weapons, there is no perfect weapon, the key is the person who uses the weapon.

"What does Huo Shi mean, hide another knife in the hilt?" Luo Xing immediately understood, this is a good thing for Yin people, something that can save lives at a critical moment.

"But does it affect the strength of the handle?"

"The handle of the knife can be made of gloomy wood or lightning wood that is more than a thousand years old, and if you can ask a spirit rune master to carve a reinforced spirit pattern inside, then there will be no problem."

"Isn't the spirit pattern only engraved on jade?"

"Wrong, the spirit pattern can be engraved on any spiritual object, jade is just the easiest spiritual material in nature to obtain, but any object, if it can not be corrupted for thousands of years, it has a little spirituality, such a material can be called a spiritual material." Huo Shanzi popularized some knowledge for Luo Xing, which he didn't know before.

Millennial lightning strike wood, I got a piece in the ghost market before, but that piece is obviously not suitable for making a knife handle.

It is better to find a thousand years of gloomy wood, it is difficult for lightning wood to form naturally, and gloomy wood does not necessarily have to be formed naturally, and it is also possible to be artificial.

Therefore, gloomy wood can still be seen in the market, but it is also very valuable.

"The blade of this knife is three feet six inches long, the handle is one foot, if it is made according to the materials you require, this knife will weigh fifty or sixty pounds, except for the heavy machete, it is more than three times heavier than ordinary standard war knives."

"Master Huo, do you think that if this knife is cast, can it be used?"

"If it were me ten years ago, I would be 100% sure that these materials would have been given to me, but now, I am not sure."

"Master Huo, I want to try to create such a war knife with ordinary materials first, and finally transition to this knife, and you will guide me, how about it?" Luo Xing Road.

"Well, Shichiro, you do understand the principle of step-by-step." Huo Shanzi appreciated.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, I am a person with no forging experience, and I will build a knife of such a precious material as soon as I come up, even if I have a mine at home, I can't stand it!" Luo Xing said with a smile.

"Shichiro, when are you going to start?" Huo Shanzi was also surprised, although he only promised to guide Luo Xing to build a knife, but in fact, he already meant to teach the profession, and it was not necessarily a bad thing to have no master-apprentice status.

"Anytime."

"Then I'll tell you about some of the basic elements of this forging weapon, first of all, the identification of materials, different material smelting methods are different, we need to carry out a preliminary smelting and purification before forging, generally this is done by forging apprentices, you don't have to do it, but you must understand ......"

……

Today is a ten-day court meeting, although the weather is cold, the emperor also mentioned the time of the court meeting to noon, but the court meeting is still cold in the hall of the government.

Burning so many charcoal stoves doesn't seem to have much effect.

Everyone is a martial arts practitioner, this cold is nothing, and some old and frail ministers, when they encounter such a big court meeting, they have to come unnecessarily, and they are all on leave at home.

In the southeast, with the arrival of the cold winter, thousands of miles of ice, the battle has become very difficult for both the attacker and the defender, especially the attacker.

The winter offensive is purely to give the opponent a head.

The climate in the south is warm and humid, and many soldiers are not used to the cold weather in the north, and forcing an attack at this time is something that a stupid commander can do.

Therefore, the big battle should be after the beginning of spring next year.

Both sides are now gathering strength. Prepare for war in three or four months.

Emperor Yongxi got 10 million taels of silver from "Huitong", and the problem of military spending was alleviated, but with military spending, money alone could not fight the war, and a series of problems such as producing various ordnance, mobilizing military rations, and conscripting soldiers.

It's a matter of thousands of families.

"Your Majesty, the Ordnance Department has recruited thousands of craftsmen from the private sector to build 80 smelting and forging furnaces, forging more than 5,000 pieces of various weapons every day, but due to weather conditions, the raw materials have not been transported back to the capital in time, and only half of them can start ......work at present."

"Your Majesty, after half a month of inventory, there are about 150 million quintals of grain stored in the north warehouse, and about 50 million quintals of all kinds of frozen meat and frozen fish stored in the west and east warehouses, and the food in Luojing City is sufficient, please rest assured."

"Hmm." Emperor Yongxi nodded, the sky and the earth are big, the food is the largest, there is no food, the common people will not obediently stay at home and starve, that is to rebel.

"Your Majesty, Xirong sent the main and deputy envoys to ask for a meeting outside the palace!" At this moment, the Yellow Gate Supervisor ran in quickly, knelt down and said.

"Xuan!" Emperor Yongxi thought about it and announced.

"Xuanxi Rong sent the chief and deputy envoys to meet you!"

After a while, Alehai, the left prime minister of Xirong, and Shang Chen, the deputy envoy, both strode into the Dazheng Hall wearing Xirong's official uniforms, bent down and half-knelt to salute Emperor Yongxi, and then stood up again.

"Your Excellency, what is the matter today?" Emperor Yongxi asked.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, the foreign minister is to hand over to you a handwritten letter from His Majesty the Wolf Lord of my family on behalf of His Majesty the Wolf Lord of my family." Alehai said.

"Oh, bring it on."

Alehai handed a wooden lacquer box to the eunuch Qixi who came to pick up the letter, and after Qixi took the box, he walked up to His Majesty, opened the box, and took out the letter inside, and then handed it to Emperor Yongxi, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

The letter was written in Xirong and Zhou, in addition to the autograph of the wolf lord, there was also a gold seal with a wolf's head, with the eye of Emperor Yongxi, he naturally recognized at a glance that the signature and the gold seal were genuine, and it could not be forged.

Neither Alhai nor Shang Chen had the guts to do so.

After reading the content of the letter, Yongxi was a little surprised, the wolf lord of Xirong actually wanted to sign a peace agreement with the Great Zhou for thirty years, but the conditions were marriage and the opening of additional fields on the border and the opening of some trade in goods, especially the prohibition of the export of refined iron and salt from Xirong by the Great Zhou, as well as the exchange and study of young students!

This agreement is beneficial to the Great Zhou, once the agreement is signed, as long as the wolf owner is alive, he himself will at least not take the initiative to tear up the agreement, the border problem in the northwest of the Great Zhou can be solved, the pressure on the border can be reduced, and the required soldiers and military expenses can naturally be reduced.

Moreover, at least 50,000 elite border troops can be transferred from Lingzhou to the southeast, and many thorny problems will be solved.

Of course, as a qualified emperor, Emperor Yongxi's suspicious character, how could he not doubt why the wolf lord of Xirong suddenly took the initiative to conclude a peace agreement, I am afraid it is not so simple, there must be an internal reason.

The intelligence work of the Nanya Intelligence Department is getting more and more lagging behind, so Zhuo Chunfeng has to hurry back to Nanya to preside over the work, and the letters from the people to conclude the peace agreement have been delivered, and there is not even a single news from the Nanya, is this still the Nanya of the Great Zhou, my ears and eyes?

"Is His Majesty the Wolf Lord going to sign a peace agreement with Da Zhou?" Emperor Yongxi directly told the contents of the letter in public.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, the ministers began to talk one by one, and some even showed joy, there is no need to fight at the border, which must be a good thing.

But I'm afraid that the peace agreement will not be signed in vain, and the Xijon side must have conditions.

"A peace agreement can be signed, but I can't accept all the conditions proposed by the wolf lord." Emperor Yongxi said, "If Your Majesty the Wolf Lord is really sincere, then we can sit down and talk." ”

"This is natural."

"When will Your Majesty the Wolf Lord come to Luojing?"

"Around the beginning of spring next year, the ministers will also wait for the notice of His Majesty of my family at the specific time." Alehai said.

"Let's talk about it then, Cai Shizhong."

"The minister is here."

"I'll leave the matter of negotiation with Xijon to you." Emperor Yongxi ordered.

"Obey." Cai Jin was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and agreed, this is not a good job, well done, leave a name in history, if you don't do it well, you may also be ruined.
