Chapter 240 Show it with prestige
"Brother Gu, believe me, I won't harm you. If you don't agree with what we are going to talk about today, the three of us will leave directly without causing any embarrassment to you."

"Okay! I believe you." Gu Yi thought about it, looked into Guo Chengyan's eyes, and chose to trust his old friend for once.

He waved his hand to ask the officer to put away his sword and let him go. Then he continued to lead Guo Chengyan inside, and the two soldiers followed him.

Several people entered a meeting room, Gu Yi and Guo Chengyan sat down, and two soldiers stood behind Guo Chengyan.

Gu Yi looked at the two of them, without inviting them to sit down, and asked Guo Chengyan, "Tell me, why did you come to see me this time?"

As soon as Gu Yi heard this, he knew that Guo Chengyan had begun to be wary of him. The previous plan of first being emotional, then rational, and finally threatening was no longer appropriate.

Guo Chengyan responded to the situation and "threatened" him first.

"Let's not hurry up and talk about things. Let me show you a few things first."

After speaking, Guo Chengyan motioned to a soldier behind him to stand forward, and then asked him to take off the baggage on his back. The baggage contained a flintlock musket, a long knife made by the Xinghan Alliance, and an ordinary long knife.

Guo Chengyan first picked up an ordinary long knife. It was captured by various enemies who attacked the Xinghan League. Some of the poor quality ones were melted and remade into iron and steel, and some of the better ones were kept. This one is one of them. First, it is a top-quality knife on the market in Zhao State.

Seeing Guo Chengyan holding the handle of the knife, Gu Yi couldn't help but flinch and resisted shouting. After thinking about it, he still believed in the friendship between Guo Chengyan and himself and would not harm him so blatantly.

Guo Chengyan held the handle of the knife, looked around, and finally selected a small solid wood coffee table next to his seat. Holding the knife in both hands, he raised it and slashed hard, splitting the solid wood coffee table in half with one knife.

"Why are you doing this?" Gu Yi asked doubtfully.

"I just want you to see that this is a fine knife."

Gu Yi looked stunned and said with some surprise: "You can tell me directly, I can see that this is a good knife, there is no need to break a coffee table."

"What you see later will subvert your previous understanding, so it is better to confirm that this is indeed a fine knife." Guo Chengyan explained.

"Okay, you go on."

Guo Chengyan picked up a broken table leg, walked to a soldier with a knife, and handed the table leg to the soldier. The soldier held the table leg upright in front of his chest, close to the clothes on his chest.

When Guo Chengyan saw the warrior getting ready, he held the sword with both hands again, twisted and held the sword horizontally to his side, then swung the sword fiercely and slashed towards the warrior's chest.

"Clap" sound.

The broken table leg was chopped off again, but the long knife did not see into the warrior's body and was blocked by the armor inside the coat.

When Guo Chengyan slashed at the soldier with his sword, Gu Yi couldn't help but close his eyes. He didn't hear the expected screams and opened his eyes to take a look.

"Is this wearing armor?"

"Yes, otherwise it would be impossible for the knife to be invulnerable. Don't blink and look again." Guo Chengyan said.

Then he put away the knife and slashed at the soldier again. This time, there was no table leg to block him, and the knife struck directly on his chest.

"Dang Cang!" There was a sound of gold and iron.

The long knife was once again blocked by the armor.

Gu Yi understood that the first time he put his knife on the table leg was to prove that he really swung the knife hard.The second sword was used to demonstrate the defensive power of the armor worn by the warrior.

"Let me take a look." Gu Yi walked up to the soldier and said.

The soldier took off his coat with two cuts, revealing the armor under the coat. The armor was a whole piece on the chest and a whole piece on the back. It was tied together with leather ropes. There were also shoulder pads, and there were also protectors on the upper and lower arms. arm.

"How many catties of iron do you need?" Gu Yi touched it a few times, coldly, and there were only two white marks where the knife cut just now. "It's not iron armor, it's steel armor, a hundred-refined steel armor. A set weighs fifty catties, and there are leg guards and knee pads on the legs of the lower body." Guo Chengyan replied.

"What a rare treasure!" Gu Yi praised.

"The Xinghan Alliance has three thousand sets of this kind of armor, one for each infantry soldier. There are also two thousand cavalry, all equipped with lighter steel armor." Guo Chengyan said what he "showed it to "Powerful" words.

There is a lot of truth in what Guo Chengyan said. The Xinghan League only produced less than [-] sets of the same set of armor worn by the same soldiers. The others were all under thirty kilograms of armor, of which only less than thirty kilograms were produced. A thousand sets, for warriors and sharp fighters of good physique to wear.Finally, there are a thousand sets of armor weighing twenty catties, which are allotted to the musketeers.

At present, the infantry of the Xinghan League has not reached the level where everyone wears armor, and there are even fewer cavalry. Currently, only one company of heavy cavalry has been formed, and the rest are wearing leather armor inlaid with thin steel plates.

Gu Yi obviously didn't believe it either and replied: "How can there be so much good steel and so many good craftsmen, and it only took a long time for the Xinghan League to develop."

Guo Chengyan saw that Gu Yi didn't believe it, so he didn't continue to dwell on this topic. Instead, he handed the knife in his hand to Gu Yi: "Take it, hold it with the blade facing up."

Gu Yi did as he was told.

Guo Chengyan took out another knife from the baggage. This was a steel knife produced by Xinghan League.

He took the sword out of its sheath, held the handle with both hands, and stood beside Gu Yi: "Hold it firmly."

Gu Yi knew that he was going to chop him, so he used both hands hard: "Okay."

Ah!
Guo Chengyan shouted, using all his strength, he held the knife and slashed down on Gu Yi's blade.

There was a crisp sound of "噌".

The long knife in Gu Yi's hand snapped off.

"Look!" Guo Chengyan held up the long knife in his hand, with the blade facing upwards, and let Gu Yi see that there was only a tiny gap on the blade, which was not as big as a grain of rice.

"What a precious sword!" Gu Yi praised.

"This kind of precious sword, each infantry and cavalry of the Xinghan League has more than [-]." Guo Chengyan said.

Gu Yi somewhat understood the purpose of Guo Chengyan's visit this time.

"Really?"

"It's absolutely true, not a single lie." Guo Chengyan replied.

"What else?" Knowing Guo Chengyan's purpose, Gu Yi became calmer.

The two made eye contact, and Guo Chengyan understood that Gu Yi had seen it, but he didn't say much, and continued to prove it with his strength.

"Is there a martial arts arena or a larger yard?" Guo Chengyan asked.

"Yes, there is a small martial arts field for training of government officials." Gu Yi replied.

"Let's go there."

Gu Yi also wanted to see what else Guo Chengyan could come up with, so he took the three of them directly to a martial arts field in the side yard.The martial arts arena is not large, thirty paces long and twenty paces wide.

Guo Chengyan first asked Gu Yi to send away all the government officials who were training in the courtyard, and arranged for a soldier to look around to make sure no one was peeking.

Then he gestured to the soldier who had taken off his coat.
