The past seemed to have faded from the minds of the people. It had been nearly a month since they arrived at Xiakou from Xinye. During this time, their kind lord, Uncle Liu, had not let them down. He had been given some land, money, and food. Although it was not a lot, it was enough for them to be grateful. It was like a rich family giving others a drop in the ocean. Giving them everything that they had was a stronger feeling. Right now, Imperial Uncle Liu belonged to the latter. He only left behind some money, food, and equipment that the soldiers needed, and distributed the rest to the people who had died along the way.
Currently, in an exceptionally spacious courtyard in Xiakou City, Han Gang was limping as he slowly strolled in the courtyard. It could be seen that although his injuries could not withstand his young body and recovered faster, he had not fully recovered. This could be seen from his stiff footsteps. It was obvious that Han Gang had only been able to walk on his own in the past few days.
At this moment, Lian 'er, who was watching from the side, was unhappy. She immediately rushed forward to support Han Gang and said softly,"Young Master, you haven't recuperated enough. How can your injuries heal so quickly?”
Han Gang gently looked at Lian 'er's pouting mouth and helplessly smiled bitterly. Thinking back, he had tried so hard to get her to act alone, but he had only taken a few steps? He said that he wouldn't give in to anything?
After spending so much time together, the two of them had a fiery relationship. Lian 'er was now like a little " housekeeper ", but Han Gang was already spoiling her to the point of not being presentable. But for some reason, looking at Lian 'er's cute appearance, Han Gang could not refute. He was not the eldest young master of a feudal society. Although he had already assimilated into this era, it was difficult for him to completely sync his thoughts with the people of this era.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard coming from outside the door. Han Gang quickly looked over and smiled. The person who had come was none other than Zhao Yun. In truth, Zhao Yun had come here whenever he had free time during this period of time. It was not for any other reason, but to take advantage of his rest time to explain spear techniques to Han Gang so that he could understand them more thoroughly. Zhao Yun did not want to see Han Gang not snatch warhorses and kill enemies the next time. Instead, he relied on a dagger to play a dangerous battle with others. This time, he was lucky. Next time, he might not be able to control the consequences!
However, this time, Zhao Yun's face carried a joy that was rarely seen in the past. It was obvious that she did not come just to teach Han Gang the spear technique.
When Zhao Yun smiled and walked to Han Gang and Lian 'er's side, before Han Gang could ask, she quickly opened her mouth and said,"Yu Qi, the lord found nearly 500 catties of steel outside the city. Now, he wants to forge weapons for the two of us. What kind of weapon do you want?”
Han Gang felt joy in his heart when Zhao Yun's words sounded. He hurriedly said,"Brother Zilong, why don't you take me there?”
Looking at Han Gang's joyful face, Zhao Yun could understand the latter's feelings. A good weapon was something that could only be found by luck. In this army, other than the lord's double-edged sword, Guan and Zhang's Azure Dragon Saber, and the 18-foot-long Snake Spear, there were really no other decent weapons. Now that the lord had spoken and intended to forge weapons for them with Ni iron, the two of them were naturally happy.
That was fine iron, an extremely precious material in this era. Weapons forged from such a metal were naturally not bad.
Zhao Yun didn't delay any further and hurriedly nodded. Just as he was about to nod and step forward, he saw Han Gang pondering for a moment before saying to him,"Big brother Zilong, go to my room and take out the Green Petal Sword that I took back last time. I'll give you that one. Now that I have a good material, I'd better use a machete.”
After hearing Han Gang's words, Zhao Yun was stunned. Then, she quickly waved her hand and said loudly,"No, no! Such a sharp weapon is good for your own use, how can I steal his love?”
As soon as Zhao Yun said that, Han Gang hurriedly explained,"Brother Zilong, just take it! Thinking about the machete skill I learned from General Guan, it's inevitable that it's not enough to use it with a sword. Now that we have good materials, of course, we have a sword. This sword can replace the ordinary sword on your waist. It's a perfect match. Brother Zilong, don't refuse.”
After Han Gang finished speaking, Zhao Yun wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say under Han Gang's smile. He didn't even take the gift seriously. If he were to reject it, it would inevitably feel a little pretentious. Who wouldn't like a precious sword? Zhao Yun was a martial arts expert, so he liked it. If he continued to act pretentiously, it would not be Zhao Yun's character. Moreover, there was nothing he would not dare to accept from his brother. The two of them were even willing to give up their lives, so why would they care about this sword?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun did not say anything more. She took Han Gang from Lian 'er's hands and helped him walk towards the room. After taking the sword, Zhao Yun changed out of the sword that she carried with her and helped Han Gang walk out of the courtyard.
When he arrived at the courtyard door, Han Gang stole a glance at Lian 'er's worried face, but she was trying hard not to speak. He also felt very happy. The reason why he liked Lian 'er so much was because of her personality. When there was no one around, she would always control Han Gang. Once there were others around, even if there was something in her heart, she would not say it in front of outsiders. She was a very obedient little girl.
Smiling at Lian 'er, Han Gang gestured for her to relax. Then, he walked out of the courtyard with Zhao Yun's help. To be honest, Han Gang felt extremely embarrassed walking in such a manner. This was also the reason why he had always been unwilling to leave the courtyard. If he hadn't heard that there was a piece of steel that was going to be forged for him, he probably wouldn't have come out to join in the fun.
With Zhao Yun's support, Han Gang walked a few steps with difficulty, causing Zhao Yun to become anxious. Zhao Yun looked behind her and saw that Lian 'er could no longer see this place. She immediately asked Han Gang,"Yuqi! If we continue walking like this, we won't even reach by nightfall. Why don't I carry you?”
Previously, he was still wondering why Zhao Yun would look back. It turned out that she was afraid that Lian 'er would see it. At that moment, he couldn't help but be moved. People with high martial arts skills generally had their own pride. How could they easily let others climb on their backs?
Looking at Han Gang's expression, Zhao Yun felt depressed and thought,""Do you think I'm willing to carry you? Isn't it because of your injuries?"
Thinking of this question, Zhao Yun did not continue talking nonsense. She immediately held Han Gang's shoulder and walked in front of Han Gang.
Han Gang didn't say anything else. With his current relationship with Zhao Yun, he definitely couldn't keep a distance like his master, so that he would have a certain amount of authority in the future. He quickly climbed onto Zhao Yun's back.
Seeing Han Gang climb up, Zhao Yun did not delay. The two of them chatted as they walked towards their lord.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a craftsman's house that was filled with people.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu. Zhang Fei was discussing with the craftsman what to forge. When he saw Zhao Yun carrying Han Gang here, he was stunned. Then, he smiled and quickly went forward to support Han Gang who was on Zhao Yun's back. He asked with a smile,"Yuqi, tell me what weapon you need. Wait for the craftsman to forge it for you."
It would be a lie if Han Gang wasn't moved by Liu Bei's earnest gesture. He immediately said gratefully,""The lord is so kind, Yuqi is afraid.“
Hearing Han Gang's words, Liu Bei put down his hand and quickly changed the topic.""Yu Qi, now that your armor is broken and your steel spear is lost, I want to use these 500 catties of fine iron to make two sets of armor for you and Zilong.”
Han Gang understood what Liu Bei meant. Armors were used for protection, and not pure steel could achieve the best effect. Steel was very hard, and if armor was made of pure steel, it was likely that any attack from someone else could injure oneself. It was not desirable, but weapons were different.
Thinking of this, he looked at Guan Yu, who was smiling at him. After returning a smile, Han Gang hurriedly said,"I wonder if my lord can forge another machete for Yu Qi? I learned that machete skill from General Guan, but I can't use it with a weapon!”
Hearing Han Gang's words, Liu Bei smiled and nodded. If Yu Qi needs anything else, feel free to instruct the craftsmen. I have already ordered that these five hundred jin of fine iron will be used by the two of you first. The soldiers are also convinced.”
This was not surprising. Zhao Yun and Han Gang had risked their lives to charge into the battle for Liu Bei's family. This was a great contribution. What could the other soldiers say? On the contrary, they admired heroes.
Not to mention anything else, just the personal guards that Liu Bei brought with him were all looking at Zhao Yun and Han Gang with admiration.
As soon as Liu Bei spoke, Han Gang hurriedly replied,""This subject has no other requests."
After Han Gang finished his request, Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun. Seeing that Liu Bei was looking at him, Zhao Yun quickly said,"This subordinate has no other requests."
Seeing that the weapon to be forged had been decided, Liu Bei gestured to Zhang Fei, who put down his bag.
Zhang Fei received his big brother's signal and hurriedly placed the things on his back on the ground.”A loud metallic sound rang out, and everyone was puzzled.
They couldn't understand why this seemingly small bag was so heavy on the ground. What exactly was this thing?
Looking at everyone's expressions, Liu Bei smiled proudly and said,""Back then, before the three of us came out of the mountains, we happened to obtain Meteoric Metal. Later on, we obtained Barren Metal. Our weapons were made of Meteoric Metal and Barren Metal. However, using a little of the same weapon would be enough.”
After saying that, he smiled at the craftsman and said,"There's Mr. Lawton." After saying that, he bowed and opened the bag. When he opened the bag, he saw a silver-white plain metal that was a little bigger than an adult's palm. It did not have a particularly obvious color, but it had a silent quality.
Everyone was attracted by the metal, but Han Gang looked at the craftsman in confusion. He was about forty years old and had bulging muscles. He had a special temperament. Han Gang knew that this expression was the confidence that could only appear when one reached a certain level in a certain field.
Before Han Gang could guess which famous person the craftsman in front of him was, it was Ma Jun? Or?
The craftsman replied respectfully," I am Ou Tie. Naturally, I will not let down the name of my ancestors. Fortunately, the two generals only need three weapons. The amount of meteoric iron is neither too much nor too little. It is just right." However, it will take more than half a month. Also, I need rootless water to make a fire for my weapon.”
At this moment, Han Gang was completely stunned. Ou Yezi's descendant? Han Gang knew about this. Ou Yezi's surname was Ou and his name was Ye. Zi was added by the later generations, just like Confucius, Zhuangzi, Mozi, Laozi. It was a title used by the later generations to pursue his domain.
"Wait, what did he call my lord? Also called Lord? Why isn't it mentioned in history?" Han Gang was shocked. He knew what a skilled blacksmith meant. It meant that he had enough materials to make the soldiers better. What did this mean for the era of cold weapons?
At that moment, Han Gang calmed himself down. Thinking of the many learning slots he had in his previous life, he limped forward and asked respectfully,"If I want to modify the fine iron spear, I wonder if old mister can forge it?”
When Ou Tie heard Han Gang's words, he was puzzled, but he still said confidently,"Little General, just say it. I'll listen first.”
I hope everyone will like it. Oh right, don't forget to support me. Hehe!
