Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 134

"Master Huo, I've checked your hands carefully. The person who took over your hand tendons at that time probably didn't have much experience in this field, and the way they did it was extremely rough, and the nerves were wrongly placed, which caused most of the functions of your hands to be lost. The physical recovery is very unsatisfactory, but you are very persevering, and you can rely on acquired rehabilitation training abruptly to reach the point where you can live without being affected, amazing!"

"I only use chopsticks to eat with these two hands, and it takes a lot of effort to put on clothes, at least I don't have to bother others." Huo Shanzi laughed at himself, and retracted his arms full of horns.

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

"Master Huo, my method may require you to suffer another pain, which may be worse than your first pain." Luo Xing said.

"What if I can pick up the hammer again and endure the pain again?" Huo Shanzi chuckled. As a blacksmith, why didn't he want to forge a weapon that would make him famous forever.

This is his original intention and dream.

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

"I have been here for ten years, do you still care about one year?"

"Well, I'll start from the beginning. You have to quit drinking, preferably not at all. Then, I will make a medicinal soup. It's not for you to drink, but for you to soak your hands. You need to touch your elbows to make it all Soak it in, once in the morning and at night, 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, the soaking time depends on the condition of your wrist, one month or even three months possible."

Then Luo Xing taught Huo Shanzi a few movements for exercising his finger joints and wrists, and asked him to practice them every day. In fact, they are rehabilitation movements, but practicing now is also for the sake of getting started faster in the future.

"Master Huo, this is a sword I designed for myself, please take a look." Luo Xing handed Huo Shanzi the style of "Tang Sword" he drew.

As soon as Huo Shanzi took the blueprint, he raised his eyebrows: "Holding knives in both hands?"

"Yes, two-handed knives are more explosive and lethal, and it's more enjoyable to fight!" Luo Xing gave his reasons.

"Qilang, have you considered the mother-child sword?" Huo Shanzi didn't say anything, everyone has their own favorite weapon, there is no perfect weapon, the key is the person who uses the weapon.

"Master Huo means to hide another small knife in the handle?" Luo Xing immediately understood that this is a good thing for a sinister person, something that can save lives at a critical moment.

"But will this 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. If you can invite a talisman master to carve a reinforced spirit pattern inside, then there will be no problem."

"Aren't spirit patterns only engraved on jade?"

"Wrong, spiritual patterns can be engraved on any spiritual object. Jade is just the most easily obtained spiritual material in nature. But any object, if it can last for thousands of years, has a little spirituality. Such materials can be called For spiritual materials." Huo Shanzi spread some knowledge to Luo Xing, which he didn't know before.

I got a piece of the thousand-year-old lightning strike wood in the ghost market, but that piece is obviously not suitable for a knife handle.

The thousand-year-old gloomy wood is better to find. It is very difficult to form the lightning strike wood naturally, but the gloomy wood does not have to be formed naturally, artificial is also possible.

So gloomy wood can still be seen in the market, but the value is also high.

"The blade of this knife is three feet and six inches long, and the handle is one foot. If it is made according to the materials you requested, this knife will weigh fifty to sixty kilograms. Except for the heavy machete, it is heavier than ordinary standard war swords. Three times more."

"Master Huo, do you think if this knife is made, it can be entered?"

"If it were me ten years ago, if these materials were given to me, I would be [-]% sure of getting them, but now, I'm not sure."

"Master Huo, I want to try to make such a sword with ordinary materials first, and finally transition to this sword. How about you guide me?" Luo Xing said.

"Well, Qilang, you understand the principle of step by step." Huo Shanzi praised.

"If a craftsman wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. I am a person with no forging experience, and I forge such a precious material knife. Even if I have a mine at home, I can't stand it!" Luo Xing said with a smile.

"Qilang, when do you plan to start?" Huo Shanzi was also curious. Although he only agreed to guide Luo Xing in making a knife, in fact, he already meant to teach, and he didn't have the title of master and apprentice. It's a bad thing.

"anytime."

"Then let me tell you about some basic elements of this forged weapon. The first is the identification of materials. Different materials have different smelting methods. Before forging, we need to carry out a preliminary smelting and purification. It is done by forging apprentices, you don't need to do it, but you must understand..."

……

Today is the Grand Court Meeting once every ten days. Although it is freezing cold and the emperor has moved the time of the court meeting to noon, the Dazheng Hall where the Great Court Meeting is located is still as cold as a hole in ice.

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

Everyone is a martial arts practitioner, so the cold is nothing, but some old and frail ministers, who had to come to such a big court meeting, asked for leave and stayed at home.

In the southeast, with the arrival of 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 attack 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. Forcibly attacking at this time is something that a stupid coach can do.

Therefore, the war should start after the spring of next year.

Both sides are now gearing up and accumulating strength.Prepare for the war in three or four months.

At the Great Court Conference, it was mainly about war and finance. Emperor Yongxi got 1000 million taels of silver from "Huitong", and the problem of military expenditure was alleviated. A series of problems such as planting ordnance, mobilizing rations, recruiting soldiers, and so on.

This is something that involves thousands of families.

"Your Majesty, the Ordnance Department has recruited thousands of private craftsmen to build [-] smelting and forging furnaces, and forges more than [-] pieces of various weapons every day. However, due to the weather, the raw materials were not transported back to the capital in time, and only half of them can be started at the moment. ..."

"Your Majesty, after half a month's inventory, there are about 5000 million tons of grain stored in the north warehouse, and about [-] million tons of frozen meat and fish stored in the west warehouse and east warehouse. Food is sufficient, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"En." Emperor Yongxi nodded. The sky is big and the earth is big, and the food is the biggest. If there is no food, the common people will not stay at home and starve, they will rebel.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, the chief and deputy envoys of the Xirong Mission are begging to see you outside the hall!" At this moment, the Huangmen supervisor ran in quickly and knelt down to report.

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

"The chief and deputy envoys of the Xuanxi military dispatched missions have an audience!"

A moment later, the left prime minister of Xirong, Alehai, and his deputy, Shang Chen, strode into the Dazheng Hall wearing Xirong's official uniforms, bowed and knelt down to salute Emperor Yongxi, and stood up again.

"Your envoy, why are you here today?" Emperor Yongxi asked.

"Respected His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, the minister is presenting to you a letter written by our Wolf Lord on behalf of His Majesty the Wolf Lord," Alehai said.

"Oh, present it."

Alehai handed a wooden lacquered box to Qixi, the eunuch who came to pick up the letter. After Qixi took the box, she walked up to Danbi, opened the box, took out the letter inside, and then handed it to the eunuch sitting on the dragon chair. Emperor Yongxi.

The letter was written in Xirong script and Zhou script. In addition to the signature of the wolf master, there is also a golden seal with a wolf's head. With the eyesight of Emperor Yongxi, he can recognize it at a glance. The signature and the golden seal are both real and cannot be forged. of.

Neither Ale Hai nor Shang Chen had the courage.

After reading the contents of the letter, Yongxi was a little surprised that the wolf master of Xirong actually wanted to sign a 30-year peace agreement with Dazhou, but the condition was marriage and opening up a market at the border and opening up some trade in goods, especially that Dazhou banned the export of Xirong Refined iron and salt and the exchange and learning of young students!
This agreement is beneficial to Dazhou. Once the agreement is signed, as long as the wolf lord is alive, at least he will not take the initiative to tear up the agreement. The problem of border troubles in the northwest of Dazhou can be solved, the pressure on the border will be reduced, and the required troops and military expenses will naturally be reduced. can be cut.

Moreover, at least [-] elite frontier troops can be transferred from Lingzhou to the southeast. This will solve many difficult problems.

Of course, as a qualified emperor, with Emperor Yongxi's suspicious character, how can he not doubt why the Xirong Wolf Lord suddenly took the initiative to conclude a peace agreement? This may not be that simple, and there must be an internal reason.

The intelligence work of the Nanya Intelligence Department is getting more and more lagging behind. Zhuo Chunfeng has to go back to Nanya to preside over the work. The letters for the conclusion of the peace agreement have been delivered, but there is no news from Nanya. This is still Dazhou Nan Ya, my ears and eyes eagle dog?
"Is His Majesty the Wolf Lord going to sign a peace agreement with Da Zhou?" Emperor Yongxi directly stated the contents of the letter to the public.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

All of a sudden, the ministers began to discuss one by one, and some even expressed joy. It must be a good thing that there is no need to fight at the border.

But I'm afraid the peace agreement will not be signed in vain, Xirong must have conditions.

"The peace agreement can be signed, but I cannot 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."

"It's natural."

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

"It will be around the beginning of spring next year, and the ministers will have to wait for the notification from my Majesty for the specific time." Alehai said.

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

"The minister is here."

"I will leave it to you to negotiate with Xirong." Emperor Yongxi ordered.

"Minister obeys the order." Cai Jin was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and agreed. This is not a good job. If you do it well, you will be famous in history. If you don't do it well, you may be ruined.
