Starting from the Valkyrie, pushing across the ages

Chapter 15
Most people who practice martial arts have keen intuition, and from Shen Qing's long breathing, it is easy to detect that she has internal strength.

Shen Qing looked at the strong man with a bare upper body in front of him, his eyes flickered slightly.

This person is by no means an idler, with a clear qi and a light body, full of vigor.

With Shen Qing's current ear strength, he could vaguely hear the sound of the blood flowing under his muscles and bones, like a stream gurgling.

This foundry master is at least a congenital master.

"I want to build a horizontal knife." Shen Qing said.

"Well, you can draw a rough sketch here, and leave a deposit of one or two."

Hearing this, the man nodded with a smile, took a pen and paper, and said: "The shop is currently understaffed, and we may need to wait a few more days."

"What's the matter? So many weapons are needed."

Shen Qing looked at the many blacksmiths sweating profusely in the shed, feeling a little puzzled.

These blacksmiths forged not only swords, but also spears, spears, halberds, and even armor and arrow clusters. It was as if they were preparing for battle.

"Captain Song cares about the common people. He wants to go out of the city to suppress the bandits. He has placed a big order for me to expand the army by one thousand in the city. Within half a month, the three thousand armors will be completely armed."

Hearing the man's explanation, Shen Qing felt a little suspicious.

There are already two thousand iron armors in Changling City, plus Song Ruilin, a congenital master, even a consummate martial arts expert would also be hated, what bandit can't be wiped out?
Congenital consummation, one step further, is the master of martial arts, with such a level of cultivation, there is no need to become a bandit and establish a sect. Just accepting disciples can also earn a lot of money.

Relying on the way of robbery, embarrassing those poor people, and earning a little money, such masters don't look at such petty profits at all.

Among the bandits, most of them are acquired warriors, and they are rare innately. If you think about it for a while, you can know that suppressing bandits is definitely not Song Ruilin's main purpose.

Reminiscent of what he had seen and heard on the road before, Shen Qing's thoughts darkened.

The imperial court gave Song Ruilin a secret decree?Will there be war?
If the imperial court intends to take action against Qianzhou, then these captains and generals guarding Qianzhou will turn into sharp knives against the throats of martial arts sects in an instant.

It's going to be a mess...

After a vague premonition, some urgency arose in Shen Qing's heart.

Her current strength is too weak. Once a battle starts, it will be a bloody and terrifying battle. Without the strength of an innate martial artist, it will be very difficult to protect herself.

While thinking about it, Shen Qing had already drawn a sketch of the horizontal knife. The blade was narrow and long, the blade was more than two feet long, the back was wide and the blade was thin. At a glance, it was obvious that it was a warrior of the slashing type.

The foundry master took the sketch, glanced at it twice, then raised his head and asked:
"What kind of material do you want to use for this saber of the heroine? I have fine iron, [-]-forged wrought iron, and the best material is cold steel."

"How much money?" Shen Qing touched her pocket, a little hesitant, because she was running out of money.

"War knives don't have many consumables, and they're not too expensive. Refined iron costs three taels, and wrought iron costs 15 taels. If you want to make cold steel, you need 50 taels of silver, and you need to pay a deposit of ten taels in advance."

After saying that, the foundry master continued to promise:

"If the sword made by Hangang is damaged in the battle of acquired warriors, as long as the other party is not holding the god iron, you can come back to me at any time, and the silver tael will be refunded in full, and then I will help you forge the sword again."

There was plenty of confidence in his words, full of confidence.

The sword made by Hangang can bear ten thousand catties of force, at least, and the acquired warriors can't damage it at all, unless the soldiers in their hands are made of divine iron.

But the weapons made by Shentie are hard to come by for grand masters, let alone acquired warriors, the probability of such a thing happening is too small.

"Use cold steel." Shen Qing didn't hesitate too much.

No matter how tight she is, she will not save the money that should be spent.

Weapons are things that protect one's life. If the weapon is cut off at will when fighting with others, it will be a disaster.

Shen Qing knew which was more important, and immediately took out ten taels of silver and handed it over.

"Seven days later, you come to get the knife."

The strong man's face was full of smiles, 50 taels of silver was no small business.

Helping Song Ruilin build armor, due to the face of the Great Xia court, he can't make much profit, counting manpower, he may even suffer losses.

…………

…………

Seven days passed in a flash.

Shen Qing's cultivation has finally returned to the fourth level of the Houtian Realm after working hard day and night.

With the blessing of internal strength, she can now strike nearly a thousand catties of force with one palm, and her internal strength is strong, she is not afraid of protracted battles, and she is enough to serve as a leader in the army.

It was Zhao Yu who surprised Shen Qing. At her age, her body had not yet fully developed, so her cultivation speed should not be too fast, but in this short period of time, she still entered the second level of the Houtian Realm.

She practiced too hard. Except for meal time, she basically practiced. This kind of perseverance is quite amazing.

Practice is extremely boring, and it is not easy for ordinary people to spend half of their time practicing inner strength.

From Shen Qing's point of view, Zhao Yu's calmness was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If the time was not too tight, Shen Qing would not have forced himself to practice so much.

The seven-day period has come, and Shen Qing rushed to the foundry as promised.

As soon as he arrived at the shed, Shen Qing saw a familiar figure.

The young man who had shot her before was now following behind a middle-aged man in armor.

The middle-aged man was nearly forty years old, wearing black armor, his face had already left traces of the years, his figure was calm, with a fierce look, and a serious expression.

In front of the middle-aged man was a pile of weapons and armor, some of which had not faded and had just left the forging furnace.

"Captain Song, this is already the fastest speed."

The foundry master who talked to Shen Qing the day before yesterday accompanied him, looking a little helpless.

In Changling City, there is no one other than Song Ruilin who can be called a captain.

"I'll give you another ten days. After ten days, the remaining three hundred spears and five hundred swords must be delivered."

Song Ruilin said in a deep voice: "This is the last time limit, if it is overdue, I will punish you for delaying military affairs."

"Captain Song! This..."

The caster's complexion changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to speak, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a young man beside him:

"Even if you delay the military affairs, it is my uncle's extrajudicial favor. In a deeper way, it is not an exaggeration to punish you for resisting the edict."

"Speak carefully!" Song Ruilin frowned and reprimanded lightly.

Hearing this, the foundry master's complexion turned pale, and he didn't dare to speak again.

It wasn't until Song Ruilin left that Shen Qing came to the shed.

"The guests are here."

Seeing her coming, the foundry master wiped his face, put on a smile, walked quickly to the outside of the shed, and brought back a wooden box.

Inside the wooden box lay a silver horizontal knife. There was not much decoration on the scabbard, so it didn't look too conspicuous.

"See if it suits you."
