Cao Thief

Chapter 43 Yiyang Martial Arts (13) [-] Recommendations

Well, brothers and sisters are too awesome!

I, Laoxin, have never been so strong in recommending tickets today, thank you, thank you, and begging for a recommendation ticket for a new day.

--------------------------

Cao Peng chose a Jushou knife.

It is five feet long and weighs about eight catties. It looks like a standard baoshou knife.

The blade is slender and straight, with a small inner arc to increase strength when chopping.As for the stem part, the design of this Fushou knife is somewhat different from ordinary Fushou knives, that is, it is longer and can be held with both hands.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the stems of most jishou knives were designed to be held with one hand, which required high wrist strength and physical fitness of the users.And the design of this knife head seems to have taken into account the fact that the user's strength is relatively small, so the length of the knife stem is deliberately lengthened, which is more conducive to chopping with both hands.

The reason why I chose this head is also because of my own understanding.

Cao Peng's body has not yet reached the level of holding a knife with one hand, and the weight of the eight-pound Jushou knife cannot last for a long time according to his current condition.In addition, there is another reason why he chose this rice ball.There are roughly five types of Hanhuan knives. The first type is that the head is made separately, heated and hammered and welded to the blade stem; The three types are still made separately, but they are clamped at the end of the folded knife stem; the fourth type is that the knife stem is integrated with the head, and then embedded with the blade body, and then reinforced with eye nails; the last type is the whole knife. Forged, there is a pattern of dragon and bird inside the head, which is called the big ring of dragon and bird.

The Dragon Sparrow Broadsword that Cao Ji gave Wang to buy before, is the last one.

And Cao Peng chose the third type, the head of the knife is clamped at the end of the turned-back knife stem.

The first and second types are the majority.The kind of rice dumplings selected by Cao Peng is a relatively rare type.

Following Cao Ji to learn forging, some basic knowledge is not bad.

Cao Peng knows that similar to this kind of stem-clamped head, the quality of the blade is generally outstanding.Although it looks like a standard, it is actually specially built.

Due to the immature knife stem technology at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hanhuan sword soldiers did not have papaya handguards.

Cao Peng held the knife in his hand, waved it vigorously twice, and nodded in satisfaction.The portion was just right!One hand is hard, but both hands are just right.

Then, he found a hook setting in a pile of sundries.

It is a small iron shield with a sharp thorn protruding from the middle of the shield, which can be used to push and kill opponents.There are iron hooks extending from the upper and lower sides, which can lock the opponent's weapons.This is also the most commonly used auxiliary weapon of the Hanhuan Dao.But for Cao Peng, who wields a knife with both hands, this hook setting seems a bit redundant.But the texture is good, and it should be useful for Wang Mai or Deng Ji to wear it with him.

After choosing the weapons, Cao Peng went back to the wooden shed.

Deng Ji was helping pull the bellows. When Cao Peng came, he just smiled and didn't speak.

He usually looks at Deng Ji in a daze, but in his heart, like Ming Jing, he is not a fool.

His seemingly casual question just now made Cao Peng understand that this brother-in-law has a bright heart.It's just that Cao Peng doesn't know how to answer this question. It's good for everyone to be clear about some things, and there's no need to talk about them all.So he nodded and smiled.

"Huh?" Cao Ji took the head of the bag, glanced at it, and immediately showed surprise, "This knife is not bad... Friends, good eyesight."

Cao Peng laughed, but didn't speak.

I saw a lot of good knives in my previous life, and I am a person with a story anyway, so there is no need to express surprises.

"Well, return this knife to the furnace and temper it well, it is a pretty good knife.

Just put it here, I will repair the sword for your brother-in-law, and I will repair this knife for you.By the way, go get some horse piss, I want Quen Feng. "

Cao Peng quickly agreed, picked up a wooden barrel, and walked to the stable.

Wang Mai is washing the horses in the stables...

Today, there are three horses in the stables of the Cao family. If they were placed in Jiyang County, they would be regarded as a middle-class family.

"Ah Fu, which one do you want?"

"Whatever...You ride Dahei, let my brother-in-law ride Dahua. Give me that nasty horse. Anyway, I'm not very good at riding. It's a pity to ride a good horse."

"Ah Fu, do you think Huang She did it?"

Cao Peng smiled, nodded and remained silent.

"What did he mean by calling his brother-in-law over?"

"I can't see what he thinks now. Only in the past will it be possible to figure it out. This is why I want to go with my brother-in-law."

"Then what do we do now?"

Wang Mai said he was not afraid, but it was obvious that he was still a little nervous.

After all, for a boy who was only 14 years old and had never experienced any big storms, this sudden change was enough to make him nervous and inexplicable.

Cao Peng glanced at him and picked up a bucket full of horse urine.

"Hold the spear steadily, and hold the steel knife firmly. When soldiers come, we will block them, and when water comes, we will fill them with soil. Let's see what tricks that yellow shot can do!"

After speaking, he took the bucket and left.

Wang Mai stood there for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to fill... Are barefoot people afraid of you wearing shoes?"

The spirit was lifted up all of a sudden, and the horses were washed more energetically.Cao Peng smiled outside the stable, but said nothing.He is very relieved of this brother Wang Mai.This guy is also courageous, but he has never experienced the world.When he grows up in the future and has a wide range of knowledge, he will definitely be able to make a difference... At the same time, Cao Peng is still thinking about another very important thing.He has already discovered that there is no such thing as stirrups for war horses these days, and horseshoes naturally do not exist.I'm going to the barracks soon, do you want to add these two items to yourself?With stirrups, you must be equipped with a high saddle, will it be too eye-catching?

This kind of thing can't be hidden for long.

If it is equipped, it will not be hidden from the eyes of experts.

Forget it, let's put it aside for now... These things seem simple, but for this era, they are undoubtedly a huge improvement.

Use these things as much as possible in exchange for the greatest benefit.

Although going to Nine Girls City this time may be more dangerous than good, it is not worth taking out these big killers.Not in your own interest!
"Afu!"

"exist."

As soon as Cao Peng returned to the wooden shed, Wang Meng called him out.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

Wang Meng said softly: "Ah Fu, do you know what's going on with the recruitment of uncles and grandchildren this time?"

"Probably know a little bit."

In front of Wang Meng, Cao Peng didn't need to hide anything.

Wang Meng said, "Very troublesome?"

Cao Peng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Maybe it's a bit troublesome."

"Have you figured out how to solve it?"

"Let's take a step at a time. I think this recruitment may not be aimed at my brother-in-law, but me... my brother-in-law is just suffering from an unwarranted disaster."

Wang Meng didn't ask any more questions, but hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Ah Fu, you should know about my past."

"Uh, know something."

"Later, because I was born with a tiger head, I withdrew and settled in Zhongyang Town.

I have some older brothers, though, who have always kept in touch.They are now living in Fuyang Tufushan, and it is said that they are doing well.There were six and seventy of them, and twenty horses in addition.When I left Zhongyang Town, I planned to take the tiger head to find them... If necessary, I can go there and find them to find a way.It's easy to kill if you can't do anything else. "

There is such a thing?

Wang Meng used to be the leader of the Taiping Dao, so his old brother, isn't he a remnant of the Taiping Dao, that is, the Yellow Turban Bandit?
The so-called seeking a living is just a more subtle way of saying it.Cao Peng knew that those people should occupy the mountains as kings and gather crowds as bandits.

Eyeballs rolled around, Cao Peng quickly made a decision.

"Uncle, find a way to contact them, not to say that they will be used immediately, but just in case, to prepare in advance."

"Well, I'll go to Fuyang tomorrow morning."

Fuyang, also known as Tongbai County in later generations, is about five or six days away from Jiyang. If you ride a horse, it may be faster.

"Then please uncle." Cao Peng thought for a while, and then said: "Besides, after we leave, ask my father to remove the bellows and find a place to hide them. These things are the treasures of our future fortune. If outsiders see it, there might be trouble."

"I can save it."

----------------------

In this way, the time of the day passed unknowingly while being busy.

After dark, the family gathered together for a simple meal. King Deng Ji and Cao Peng bought the three of them and prepared to set off.

Deng Ji took off his long robe, and put on a black shawl, with a Zhajia on the outside.

The so-called zhajia is an armor woven from iron sheets, which is worn on the body like a vest.A piece of Zhajia weighs about twenty catties and can effectively provide protection.But for Cao Peng, the armor was too heavy, so Mrs. Zhang disassembled the iron sheet, turned out a piece of calfskin, and sewed it on the outside to become a pair of leather armor.The weight is more than half, so Cao Peng fits right on.

Wang Mai picked up the snake spear, put the modified hook on his wrist, and turned it into a hand shield.

Wang Meng led the horse out of the stable and parked it at the gate of the courtyard.

The three of Cao Peng were full of energy and got on their horses outside the door.

Deng Ji wears an iron sword, while Cao Peng straddles his head, holds a dragon sparrow, and sits on the back of a horse.

"Father, mother, the child is leaving."

"When you arrive in Nine Girls City, you must be careful in everything, and don't conflict with others..."

Mother hands line, wandering clothing.

Even if Cao Peng was a human being in two lifetimes, he couldn't help but be moved by it.

"Mother, don't worry."

He immediately turned around and said to Cao Ji: "Father, after we go to Nine Girls City, you should stop rushing to work. Anyway, Kuai Zheng didn't set a time limit, so you should rest first and talk about it when we come back. Uncle Wang discusses it more. My sister is pregnant and needs you and mother to take care of her... Uncle Wang, please take care of everything!"

Wang Meng smiled slightly and nodded his head as an answer.

"Brother-in-law, let's go."

Deng Ji was on the horse, stretched out his hand to caress Cao Nan's cheek, "Ah Nan, be careful, we will be back soon."

"Father, take care!"

Wang bought the horizontal spear immediately, and bowed his hands.

After the three said their goodbyes, they pulled up their horses and left.

In the night, the sound of horseshoes, gradually drifting away...

"Old Cao, let's go into the house.

The night was windy and Ah Nan was still pregnant, so she had to be more careful.Brothers and sisters, you go back to the house with Ah Nan first, I just have something to say to Lao Cao. "

"Well, let's go back to the house!"

Mrs. Zhang supported Cao Nan and carefully returned to the hall.

Standing at the gate, Wang Meng and Cao Ji exhaled forcefully.

"Old Cao, help me find a knife and a spear."

"What are you doing?"

"Ah Fu wants me to do something, I have to go out tomorrow. I will definitely be back in fifteen days at most. Before I come back, don't start work again... Remove the bellows and find a place to hide it. I reckon, This matter is not that simple, there must be troubles."

Cao Ji showed a dignified expression.

"Did Afu tell you anything?"

"He didn't know too well, but he felt a little abnormal, so he proposed to go with his uncle and grandson.

With Ah Fu around, my uncle and grandson will be fine.We must take care of this family as a top priority, so that when the children come back, something will happen. "

The two have known each other for many years, and many things are silent.

"I understand, I will give you a weapon."

Cao Ji turned and walked towards the warehouse, while Wang Meng stood on the doorstep, looking back at the direction where Deng Ji and the three had disappeared into the night.

Come back safely, boys...
