Cao Thief

Chapter 90
"You want to make a knife?"

On the other side of Heilujian, Dian Wei looked at Cao Ji suspiciously.

When Cao Ji pulled Dian Wei aside, and solemnly told Dian Wei that he wanted to make a knife and needed Dian Wei's help, Dian Wei was not surprised.He had already heard that Cao Ji was a blacksmith.It's just that he doesn't think that Cao Ji is a great craftsman.

There is an essential difference between a blacksmith and a master craftsman.

Blacksmiths are everywhere, but master craftsmen are hard to find.Cao Cao's subordinates can also be regarded as a wealth of talents, and a Zhuye supervisor includes almost all famous craftsmen in Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou.But there are so many craftsmen, and none of them can be called a master craftsman.Cao Ji is unknown, and his greatness is nothing more than an excellent blacksmith.Of course, a master craftsman must have excellent knife-making skills, but at the same time, he also needs to have imagination beyond ordinary people and have unique methods that are unknown to the public.The weapons made by master craftsmen can often be called magic weapons and precious blades.

Dian Wei didn't think that Cao Ji could have this kind of ability...

It's normal to have this kind of thinking.If Cao Ji really had the ability of a great craftsman, he would have been wooed by Liu Biao long ago, even the Jiangxia Huang family might not have dared to move them easily.

Cao Ji hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Brother Dian, I have made swords for three generations, and there are secret techniques inherited. But because my family has no foundation, I dare not tell others easily. Brother Dian, you should know, if If the news that I have a secret method handed down by my family spreads out, I will definitely be watched by others, and I will even be envied by others, and I will even be robbed of the secret method... It is really not a way to save myself."

Dian Wei couldn't help squinting his eyes!
Since ancient times, the art of making knives has been propagated as a mystery.

What Ou Yezi, what general Mo Xie, generally speaking, all master craftsmen are passed down through secret methods.

And what is this secret?
not known...

For example, General Mo Xie, some people said that he wanted to practice with blood sacrifice.Later, it was also rumored that it was possible to forge magic weapons only by using human children, boys and girls as sacrifices.

If Cao Ji really has a secret method handed down from his ancestors...

Dian Wei couldn't help taking a breath, and after pondering for a long time, he nodded lightly: "If you rely on your secret method, what kind of precious blade can you get?"

"Breaking three shards is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand."

"It's the three broken cards..."

"Thirty!"

"what?"

"I mean, within three months, I will create thirty divine weapons that are broken."

Cao Ji is an expert, if only in terms of forging skills, he has reached the peak.Now, he has acquired Cao Peng's steel pouring method and double-liquid quenching method, combined with his Cao family's unique bellows technology, which can make the furnace temperature about [-] degrees higher than that of ordinary melting iron furnaces.

Based on these, Cao Ji is confident that he can forge a steel knife with three broken blades.

Breaking three Zhas is actually not a magic weapon, but it is also a rare thing.

The Jushou knife used by the Han army can be regarded as a good knife if it is broken.What's more, these three broken pieces... and can it be mass-produced?
Dian Wei couldn't help being secretly surprised.

"If brother can really forge thirty magic weapons that can break the three swords, please let me know what you need, and I will help you with all my strength."

Cao Ji nodded, "Only brother can prepare a secluded place for me, and provide reliable assistance. Once I get the materials, I will tell brother later, please trouble brother to prepare for me. The rest... I can handle it myself, I don’t know what brother thinks?”

"A word is settled!"

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, steelmaking technology has been greatly developed.

From the bronze wares in the Warring States period, a complete set of iron casting technology was gradually developed.Among them, the method of frying steel and steelmaking are the most famous.

However, whether it is the steel frying method or the hundred steelmaking, it is a time-consuming and labor-intensive steelmaking technology.

A good knife takes one to two years to make.Therefore, although the Jushou Dao was popularized in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not considered popular.In the army, most of them are spears and halberds. Due to the limitation of knife-making technology, sword and shield soldiers cannot occupy a dominant position in the army.

Dian Wei also knew that good knives were hard to find.

If Cao Ji can really forge thirty good knives in three months, he will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold under Cao Cao's account.

Sometimes, Dian Wei also feels lucky.In the battle of Wancheng, he seemed to be a blessing in disguise.Not only did I get to know people like Cao Peng, Deng Ji and Wei Yan, but I also got Cao Ji, a master craftsman who made knives.Dian Wei is straightforward, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have scheming.In fact, he was able to gain a firm foothold in Cao Ying, relying on Cao Cao's trust.But if one day, Cao Cao no longer trusts him...

After all, Dian Wei has no power of his own.

So, he went around looking for people to fight and make enemies on all sides. His purpose was to tell Cao Cao: I am a lonely minister, and I am only loyal to you.

Deep down in his heart, Dian Wei still hopes to form a force of his own.

Perhaps, Cao Ji's family...

Dian Wei couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Lieutenant Dian, Captain Dian... The big thing is bad, the big thing is bad!"

A military pawn ran over in a hurry.

Dian Wei didn't know this man, but he knew that he was Man Chong's subordinate.

"What's the panic?"

"For some reason, Junhou Xiahou and Mr. Cao clashed, and the two sides fought over there!"

"what?"

Dian Wei and Cao Ji were shocked and ran over without saying a word.

"Old King, what is going on?"

At this time, Cao Peng and Xia Houlan were standing in the field surrounded by people.Even Deng Juye, Mrs. Hong, Mrs. Zhang and Cao Nan also ran out.

Wang Meng stood aside with a helpless face.

Dian Wei stepped forward and grabbed his arm, asking loudly.

"I don't know, but I heard that Xiahou drank too much and got into a fight with Ah Fu. Then the two of them got on top of each other without knowing it, and they even made a bet. Xiahou said that if he couldn't do it within three moves Subdue Ah Fu, and become Ah Fu's retainer; Ah Fu said, if he can't deal with Xiahou, then he will give Xiahou a fortune... Hutou and the others can't persuade them. No, it's about to start!"

This involves a bet, and Dian Wei is not easy to intervene.

If it was a business matter, he could stand up and stop it; but now, it is obviously a personal grudge.

Xia Houlan's bet is not unreasonable!I think he is also a dignified military marquis, a master of a song.He actually uttered the words that he lost to Cao Peng as a servant, and he had already gambled on his future.At this time, if Dian Wei stood up to stop it, it would be of no benefit to Xia Houlan or Cao Peng.

In today's troubled times, what people value is heroism.

Even Dian Wei can't stop this gambling...

It's just that it's so good, how could Xiahou and Ah Fu conflict?

On the other side, Mrs. Zhang obviously messed up, calling repeatedly to let Cao Peng come down.

Cao Peng slowly took off his clothes and moved his hands and feet.These days, although he has been busy running around, Cao Peng has not left behind his homework.On the contrary, after several times of fighting, Cao Peng's martial arts has improved a lot compared to before.Especially his taijiquan kung fu, because of several kills, added a bit of sharpness to the mellowness, it seems that compared with the beginning, it has improved a lot.

Indistinctly, Cao Peng could guess Xia Houlan's mind.

Thinking about it, he was also depressed because he was suppressed for too long...

Taking a deep breath, Cao Peng made a Tai Chi starting gesture.

Inside, I was still somewhat nervous.Speaking of which, he had fought against others, but he had never been in contact with a serious master like Xia Houlan.But he has seen Dian Wei, seen Wei Yan, and even learned Wenpin's kung fu as early as the end of last year.

This eye-sight price is enough, but the actual combat has not yet been experienced.

Competing with Wang Mai and Deng Fan are all games.

It was the first time to fight against a master who had reached the bone-yielding level, and it was inevitable that I would feel nervous.

But it is impossible for Cao Peng to retreat, and it is even more impossible for Xia Houlan to bow his head and admit defeat because of Xia Houlan's skill.The old martial artist in the previous life said that a warrior is fierce and brave, with a great spirit in his heart and no fear of ghosts and gods.This tone must not be vented, otherwise no matter how good the kung fu is, it will be useless.Didn't the old saying go: When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!This is what he said, the nature of a warrior.

That's why Tai Shigong said that chivalry uses martial arts to break the ban.

There is some truth in it...

Cao Peng looked calm, smiled and said: "Xiahou, you have the chance, if you can really beat me, I will guarantee you a big fortune, how about it?"

And Xia Houlan also woke up at this time.

A trace of regret suddenly appeared in my heart, but it happened to be difficult to get off.

"Ah Fu, kill him!"

"That's right, kill him... Let him lead the horse for you in the future."

Wang Mai and Deng Fan were clear-cut and cheered for Cao Peng.

Xia Houlan couldn't help but secretly regretted that Cao Peng was just a child, while he was a dignified military lord.Even if he wins, so what?

It is estimated that it is impossible for anyone to applaud him!

Out of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently swept across the crowd, and Xia Houlan was shocked.

He saw Dian Wei and Dian Wei's gloomy face.

it's over...

Xia Houlan secretly complained, and hesitated even more.

Of course he knew Dian Wei's love for Cao Peng, and today he took the initiative to provoke trouble, which was tantamount to slapping Dian Wei in the face.With Dian Wei's temperament, how can he give him a good face?

The heart of worrying about gain and loss became more and more intense.

Hearing Cao Peng's faint words, Xia Houlan's breath became obviously disordered.

Fight!

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he rushed towards Cao Peng step by step, and Zhang Shi and Cao Nan's screams came from his ears.

But Cao Peng, not in a hurry, met Xia Houlan's fists and feet, slanted his steps, landed his feet and turned his palms, passed Xia Houlan, appeared beside him, stretched out his hands in a virtual step, and landed lightly on Xiahoulan On Lan's shoulder, he chuckled lightly and said, "Xiahou, your mind is a little messed up!"

Stamp your feet with empty steps, and your bones burst out.

The bone strength accumulated in the sixty days of pile work shows extraordinary power at this moment.

The boxing techniques of later generations pay attention to light and dark strength.Among them, this dark energy does not depend on the strength of the muscles, but on the strength of the bones.Cao Peng didn't reach the bone-yielding level, but the bone strength has been accumulated.Although it was not considered tyrannical, it was enough to make Xia Houlan suffer.

In the eyes of outsiders, Cao Peng just pushed Xia Houlan.

But in fact, Cao Peng used his palms to press, and his dark energy gushed out.Xia Houlan's mind was a little confused, but Cao Peng pushed her out all of a sudden, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.At the same time, Cao Peng used dark energy to bruise Xia Houlan's shoulder and arm muscles without anyone knowing it.What Xia Houlan relies on now is mainly the strength of his muscles, and the muscles on his shoulders and arms are also the main body of his strength.However, Xia Houlan didn't realize that she had already fallen for Cao Peng's tricks.After standing still, there was a burst of laughter in my ears, and Xia Houlan's face turned red all of a sudden.Cao Peng's words pierced his heart like a needle, and his mind suddenly became more chaotic.

"Xiahou, I am not as powerful as you, but you are not my opponent."

"Shut up!"

Xia Houlan roared angrily, and rushed towards Cao Peng again.

This time, Cao Peng showed a dignified look, twisted his body in wrong steps, and stepped on yin and yang.Like Qiu Yuan dodging, Di Liu Liu whirled on the spot, following Xia Houlan's offensive, raised his hand and flicked it seemingly unintentionally, the palms closed together, and patted Xia Houlan's arm with a bang.

"I said, you may not be my opponent!"

Cao Peng said with a smile, one hand shook slightly behind his back, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

Xia Houlan, even more angry!
