Chapter 18: The Contract of Life and Death
Bala Toast stood up and said excitedly: "It's really better to listen to your words than to read for ten years." I believe in Mr. Ou's ability, and it is also my honor to be able to forge such a sharp blade. We have an arms workshop in Tusi Mansion, and Mr. Ou can just ask for anything. ”
Ou Xuzi said: "I have two conditions, I promise to say anything, if I don't agree, the treasure knife will not be cast at all." ”
Bala Toast said, 'Please speak.' "First, I must listen to the matter of forging knives, and no one shall interfere or point fingers, and I must satisfy what I want, including materials, personnel, and craftsmen, and I must pay them two taels of silver for workmanship, and shall not be arbitrarily deducted. ”
Bala Toast said, "I promise, two?"
Ou Xuzi said: "We have more than 30 villagers settled in Heimahe Township, and now it is winter when there is a lack of food and clothing, and it is difficult to move forward, can Lord Tusi pay my salary first so that they can spend this winter, Ou Xuzi will do his best to cast the blade you need for Lord Tusi." ”
Bala Tusi lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "We Mongolians have a proverb that says that a donkey without a halter has a hard mouth, and a lama who can't recite sutras has a big mouth. What shall I believe in you?"
Ou Xuzi took off the Zhan Lu knife from his body and said, "I will use this knife as proof, Zhan Lu is in the Tusi Mansion, what else do you have to worry about?"
Bala Toast asked in surprise, "Is this true?"
"Really. Ou Xuzi nodded back.
Bala Toast said slyly, "Isn't Mr. Ou afraid that I will hide Zhan Lu and swallow it alone?"
Ou Xuzi replied: "Zhan Lu is the sword of benevolence and righteousness, if you treat its master well, it will also treat you well. ”
The muscles on Bala Toast's face trembled, although Ou Xuzi didn't say the following words, could he not understand the meaning, hesitated for a long time, took Zhan Lu with trembling hands and said, "The gentleman is quick to say a word, I agreed." But we have to make a contract, the treasure knife is out, Mr. Ou is the great hero of our Tusi Mansion, and silver and food are not a problem, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
Ou Xuzi said categorically: "A word is a certainty. ”
A carriage loaded with food and clothes appeared on the road to the Black Horse River Village, and Renji waved a whip with a smile on his face. Ou Xuzi rode a Mongolian horse, which was given to him by Bala Tusi.
Mongolian horses are hard-working, not afraid of the cold, have strong vitality, and are able to survive in harsh conditions. The Mongolian horse, which has been tamed, is not frightened or deceived on the battlefield, is extremely brave, and has become the best car of the Yuan army. Hard-working, not afraid of cold, can adapt to extremely extensive feeding management, strong vitality, and can survive in difficult and harsh conditions.
Bala Tusi showed rare generosity this time, the carriage was full of food and clothing, and daily necessities were readily available, these are the things that Ou Xuzi urgently needed to ensure that they could survive the cold winter of the grassland, and Bala Tusi also promised that the second batch of materials would have sheep and forage to lay the foundation for them to take root in the grassland.
Before leaving, Bala Toast patted Ou Xuzi on the shoulder and said, "The hero wants to wear a BMW," he asked a horse to lead and said: "This is my most beloved BMW, it is not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day, I will give it to you to show my heart." ”
Ou Xuzi looked at the red, extremely robust appearance of the horse, and replied happily: "Good horse, it is really a good horse, the famous anti-gold general Zong Ze of the Southern Song Dynasty has a poem praising Mongolian horses, umbrellas hang down and horses step on the sand, and the water is long and the mountain is long and the road is full of flowers." In the shape of the eyes, the chest is in the middle of the strategy, and the slow walk is quiet. Thank you very much. ”
Bala Toast Pi smiled and said, "I hope it's worth the money." ”
Renci's admiration for Ou Xuzi is the five-body throw, but Renci is also secretly worried, there is a Tibetan proverb that says that a wolf can't change his vicious face when he hangs a goat's beard. The more benevolent the Bala Toast is, the more insidious his purpose becomes, Renji knows this "smiling tiger" too well, hiding a knife in a smile, hiding a needle in a smile, giving you a small favor at the same time, the murderous steel knife has been sharpened behind his back.
Renji wanted to remind Ou Xuzi that Bala Toast was sweet in his mouth, ruthless in his heart, cunning and sinister, and femme fatale, but he couldn't help but didn't speak.
What kind of person is Ou Xuzi, after the Sword Ancestor, his courage and strategy are incomparable to ordinary people. This man has a sculptural silhouette and a strong personality. He stands strong, not afraid of setbacks, he has a sense of responsibility, dares to overcome obstacles, faces difficulties, and turns the tide. More important is his benevolence, loyalty to relatives, loyalty to lovers, loyalty to friends, this is a real man.
Besides, Ou Xuzi has a Zhan Lu knife in his hand, if Bala Toast is a vicious poisonous snake, Zhan Lu is specifically looking for his snake eater meerkat, the snake's two killer tricks of venom and curling are ineffective against it, and in the end it will always bite the snake's neck and put it to death.
The Zhanlu knife is the nemesis of Bala Toast.
