Chapter 183 Without a knife, can a hammer work?
Coming out of the county guard's mansion, Li Shimin first went to the largest quality warehouse in Yuhang, which is now called a pawnshop.

Pawned a pair of unicorn jade on his body, exchanged 50 taels of gold, and handed it to Lin Shuhang along with the twenty or so taels of gold in his purse, and then asked with a smile: "Brother, look at today's martial artist." How about Tong Jun?"

"I have no good intentions, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." Lin Shuhang just didn't want to make suggestions and predict the future, but he didn't really want to pretend to be a fool. When Li Shimin asked, he answered casually.

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Brother really has the understanding of a general. It is actually easy to learn about marching and fighting, but what is really difficult to learn is how to guess people's hearts..."

As soon as Lin Shuhang heard what he said, he knew that Li Shimin was deliberately cultivating himself.

After all, in Li Shimin's eyes, no matter how powerful Li Xuan's martial arts skills are, he is still just a 17-year-old boy who studied under a reckless man and has never read any military books. He is a small pawn, so he wants to study his understanding when he has a chance, and teach him to march and fight, but he never says the word "teach". extreme.

Lin Shuhang felt a little emotional after recollecting it.

Tang Taizong's method of manipulating people's hearts is indeed considered to be the best in ancient times. If Taizong said that he ranked second in this imperial technique, there may not be many in history who dare to claim to be the first.

Frankly speaking, this is me, if someone else is treated like this, I am afraid that I will sacrifice my heart for Li Shimin?It's no wonder that even a bad boy like Duan Zhixuan is tamed by him.

"Wu Tong didn't want to borrow soldiers, but I used words to live in him, so I had to borrow them. Now I just want to keep us safe." Li Shimin said with a smile: "It's not that we are arranged to stay in a post station tonight instead of staying at his home. But I am afraid that if I die in his house, there will be future troubles for him... Tonight there will be injustice in the station, brothers can disperse the money with the Xuanjia army, let the soldiers disperse, and go to the street shop outside by themselves Fill their stomachs in the wine shop, even the horses are fed outside, and after entering the station, they must not eat anything in that station."

Lin Shuhang secretly praised Li Shimin's carefulness in his heart, and nodded at this moment: "The sergeants are scattered, even if they are followed and drugged, it is impossible for all of them to be recruited, so it is indeed the safest."

When Li Shimin saw him, he immediately understood the key points. He laughed and patted Lin Shuhang's shoulder lightly: "Since you understand, brother, I don't need to say more. Then you are responsible for arranging the Xuanjia Army. It is best to divide some people into living quarters." Outside the post station, I took a few people around the Yuhang barracks, and by the way, I showed my face everywhere on the street, not only to see if the barracks had recruited soldiers, but also to let everyone in Yuhang know that I, Li Shimin, came here. In this way, the two of us Let's split things up and meet again at the station at Xushi!"

"it is good!"

At the beginning, there were 100 Xuanjia troops who followed Li Shimin from Taiyuan. Thirteen were lost in this battle, and six of them were killed by Luo Shixin who later chased Li Shimin.

In the chaotic formation of thousands of troops, a team of hundreds of people can control the battle damage to such an extent, which shows the strength of this army. Not only is its combat power strong, it is also naturally well-ordered and well-trained. Lin Shuhang picked a ready-made one and used it to It was easy to get up.

After recruiting several team leaders and explaining to each of them, each of them distributed a few taels of gold, and each of them dispersed away. Lin Shuhang had other things to do.

Mainly I want to go to the blacksmith shop to see if I can make a weapon overnight.

If he wanted to attract the attention of the Cambrians in the illusion, he had to be strong enough to stand out. If he only had the same strength as Luo Shixin, then he would not be able to achieve the effect.

One's own strength cannot be improved in a short period of time, only by working hard on weapons.

Xuanxing sword technique respects weight, when it reaches the third stage, even if you only hold a piece of dead grass in your hand, you can still hit the effect of Xuanxing, that is to truly understand the essence of Xuanxing sword technique, Practiced to the top.

But right now, it is only the second stage after all, if one wants to truly exert the power of the Xuanxing Saber Technique, one has to use weapons.

When practicing the Xuanxing Saber Technique, the first level requires the use of a two hundred catty heavy knife, and the second level requires the use of [-] catties. Wang Junkuo's Qinglong Yanyue Saber, which is about [-] catties, is used to perform the Xuanxing Saber Technique of the first level. It's still not enough, let alone exerting the second level of power.

But even so, he was evenly matched with Luo Shixin on the battlefield in the morning, and Lin Shuhang could roughly judge that if he really had an [-]-jin heavy knife for himself, even Luo Shixin would not be able to stop him a few times.

After all, during the war years, there were quite a lot of blacksmith shops here in Yuhang. Lin Shuhang picked the largest one and went in to explain his purpose.

Hearing that Lin Shuhang wanted to strike a knife, he threw out ten taels of gold. The owner of the blacksmith shop was elated and excited. , the boss almost dropped his jaw in shock.

"Hero, eight hundred catties? I'm afraid it's not 800 taels?"

"It's eight hundred catties."

The boss confirmed again and again, and finally widened his eyes: "I have been fighting weapons all my life, and the heaviest Dahuan knife I have ever seen is 120 catties, [-] catties? I have never heard of it. I am afraid that the guests are making fun of me? So A heavy knife, don’t say I can’t hit it, but if I hit it, can you handle it?”

"You don't care if you can hold it or not, you just say whether you can hit it."

"I can't fight!" The boss shook his head repeatedly: "There is no such knife! Eight hundred catties, what kind of handle can be used to bear it? Even iron will not work, what about Kaifeng? Eight hundred catties of knife, All the guys in my shop may not be able to lift it up for you to strike at the same time. If I give you a blunt knife, I’m afraid it’s not my signboard? I will forge two iron eggs for you, but the handle of the hammer needs some work, but if you want to talk about knives, let alone me, you can search all over Yuhang. If someone can make it, I will pay for it for you! "

Lin Shuhang pondered for a while: "If you don't need to start the attack?"

"It's still called a knife if you don't strike? Didn't you come to smash my sign on purpose? Besides, if you don't strike, what's the difference between it and a hammer?"

"...Then you can just hit the hammer, maybe you can get it tomorrow?"

"The guest is joking again." The boss looked at the twelve taels of gold on the table, and for the first time felt that it was a disadvantage for him to exchange gold with him for iron: "Eight hundred catties, just calcining and melting iron to shape, I work overtime It will take three days and three nights to add a little more, not to mention that there is not so much pig iron in the shop at all, and I have to buy it for you, plus making hammer handles and so on... If you have this ten taels of gold, I will at least give it to you. You ship in half a month, if you are willing to add another five taels, it will take five days at the fastest!"

No matter whether Li Shimin succeeds in borrowing troops or not, he will leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest. How can he have time to wait for him for five days?
I had no choice but to give up, and went to other blacksmith shops to ask, and the answers were all the same, and more of them even refused to connect directly.

Lin Shuhang was also a little melancholy, but he knew it was true.

In Kanas back then, he had to wait for more than two months for the [-]-jin big sword he ordered. It was only after he got tired of playing with the [-]-jin sword that it arrived. It was as big as a horse. In addition, it is not easy to wield.

I thought that it was already in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and iron smelting technology had greatly improved compared to the Han Dynasty, and it should be done in a short time, but I still thought too much.

Even if you choose the hammer as the next best thing, it can't be done in a day or two.

Fortunately, this one-time customs clearance task has a follow-up. It seems that I can only follow Li Shimin to complete this trip first, and then consider the [-]-jin heavy weapon when it stabilizes.

At this time, I bought a detailed map of Jianghang on the street, searched it carefully, and found the so-called 'Siping Mountain' as I guessed.

Different from the Siming Mountain in the previous imagination, although the so-called Siping Mountain required by the simulator is also near Jiangzhou, but it has to continue to walk more than [-] miles from Jiangzhou to the west, which is completely opposite to Yuhang. It is not at all the destination that Li Shimin will go to tomorrow.

But the simulator asked him to escort Li Shimin to Siping Mountain. What does this... mean?
It's really a bit puzzling, maybe because new clues haven't appeared yet.

I found a tavern to eat something, and when I returned to the inn, it was still early, and Hu Tie'er got the news that Li Shimin and his party were staying at the inn from nowhere, and came over.

He had already found a place to live in Yuhang, and he came to inform Lin Shuhang of his address on a street in the east of the city.

Seeing Hu Tie'er, Lin Shuhang thought about the knife again. Although he didn't have time to wait here, Hu Tie'er could.

At this time, I gave him instructions on how to make knives. He only said that it is best to make knives. One hundred catties, the time is half a month at the latest, the sooner the better.

After finishing the battle, if Lin Shuhang hasn't returned to Yuhang, he must be in Jiangzhou or Siping Mountain. Let Hu Tie'er inquire about his whereabouts and send the things to him as soon as possible.

Hu Tie'er was secretly dumbfounded when he heard it, but after all, this is something used by Enxian and Shangxian, so can it be light?Eight hundred catties is probably just an appetizer.

When Li Shimin returned to the station, it was already dark. Lin Shuhang had a brief chat with him, and learned that there was indeed a mobilization of troops in the barracks. It was a little reassuring, but he was not careless.

"Maybe Wu told me to spy on me, so I just nodded on purpose to slow down my heart." Li Shimin didn't drink the tea delivered by the post station, but asked someone to boil water from the well outside the post station to drink, and only said : "You still need to be careful tonight, and you must not allow anyone to take advantage of the loopholes. Even if the Xuanjia army rests, they will not be disarmed. Wait until tomorrow, and I will see what Wutong has to say."
