"Special department?" Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly became interested, his face filled with joy.
"Hmm? Are you interested?" Wang Cheng glanced at Ma Xiaoshuai who was eager to try and laughed.
" Yes, I want to take a look, but Lord Li said that the special department is directly under the imperial court…"
"It's fine. Inspecting this place is also part of our routine inspection.”Wang Cheng said indifferently.
"Is it another show of skill?" Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but tease.
"Wrong!"
"Hmm? Isn't that so?"
"This isn't just for show." Wang Cheng looked proud, as if he felt that it was something to be proud of to give Ma Xiaoshuai a surprise. Seeing the surprised look on the person opposite him, he was very satisfied." Every time Secretary Li sends someone to investigate, he has to carefully tell them to take a look at this special department. In fact, he just wants to know what powerful things are coming out."”
"Again? You mean again?" Ma Xiaoshuai said expectantly.
"Yeah, why?" Wang Cheng didn't understand.
"That means you have some achievements before?”
"Of course. Otherwise, who would give these stubborn guys money?”Wang Cheng pursed his lips. It was obvious that he did not have a good impression of the people inside.
"Then let's go in." Ma Xiaoshuai, who found it funny, took the lead.
"Hey, what's the hurry? Wait for me."
"Hurry up."
“……”
When they passed by the entrance of the cave, a soldier who seemed to be the leader stopped and looked at Wang Cheng. He seemed to know him.
"Lord Wang, you're here."
"Yeah, let's go in and take a look."
"Alright, you may enter."
"Okay, you can continue with your work."
"Yes."
When they entered the cave, a wave of hot air hit their faces, and the quarreling and hammering sounds they heard earlier became more and more obvious.
Wang Cheng led Ma Xiaoshuai through a pathway and down a stone step before arriving.
The two of them stood at a high place. From this distance, the entire cave's panoramic view clearly fell into their eyes. Because the cave was very deep, it was difficult for the afternoon sun to shine in. They could only use torches to illuminate it. Although it was slightly dim, it did not affect their vision.
The cave was very large, and it was in a semicircle shape. The top of the cave was far away from the ground, and it reflected the fire. The fire came from more than a dozen large furnaces in the remote part of the cave, which was also the source of the abnormal heat in the cave. At this time, there were a few blacksmiths who were absent-mindedly hammering, while the rest were all gathered in the middle of the cave. It was the only decent place in the eastern cave. There were many tables, and large pieces of white paper were placed on them. It was a bit like the design department of Ma Xiaoshuai's company, but it didn't seem to be very harmonious here. At this time, there were a group of shirtless men, divided into two camps. Each of them was red in the face, and they were obviously arguing.
"F * ck your sister, do you even know how to forge? A sharp saber is the way to go. What kind of mess is this…"
"I don't understand? Don't tell me you soldiers know…"
" Who are you calling a soldier hammer!?"
" Haha, I used to be a soldier, but I didn't have a high position. I'm just a blacksmith with a hammer…"
"You! Bastard, so what if the imperial court sent him…"
" It's nothing impressive, but at least you know how to research and develop…"
"Research my ass. I've said it before, only a sharp blade is a good one.”
"Sharp? What a joke. If it was sharp, it would not be called a special department, but a blacksmith concentration camp.”
"F * ck you, you're courting death…"
"Come on, come on…"
It was obvious that this special department did not seem to be very harmonious. From the argument, it could be vaguely determined that it was because of the disagreement. The people here seemed to be divided into two camps. One side seemed to be soldiers who were assigned here after serving in the army, while the other side was people who were deliberately nurtured by the imperial court to love weapon forging. One side was grassroots, the other side was elites, the other side was conservative, and the other side was radical. This contradiction seemed to be reasonable.
The two people who had been watching did not immediately go forward. Instead, they stood where they were and listened and watched.
"Heh, I've long known that this group of fellows would fight amongst themselves, but I've never seen them.”
Wang Cheng, who was taking pleasure in others 'misfortune, teased him heartlessly. As he said this, he leaned against the stone railing at the side and looked at the group of red-faced burly men below with great interest. He chuckled and looked like he could not wait for the world to fall into chaos. From his expression, he was probably looking forward to watching a group fight for free.
Compared to Wang Cheng's gloating, Ma Xiaoshuai's expression was much more serious, because he learned a vague message from the quarrel between the two parties. It seemed that the radical party had other requirements for knives besides sharpness. Then what was this?
"Let's go down and take a look." Curious, Ma Xiaoshuai walked down.
"Hey, hey, Brother Zhang, what are you doing…Okay, okay, wait for me.”Although Wang Cheng was unwilling, he could only catch up.
"This is too much, too much. You guys are bullying people…"
"Who's bullying you? Speak clearly…"
"You guys! It's you guys who are using the Imperial Court's support to run amok here…"
"Misconduct, how do you do that? Tell me…"
"I…I…I'm going to kill you!!”
Ma Xiaoshuai had just stepped forward when he saw the two parties losing control of their emotions and were about to fight. He immediately stopped them.
"Wait!"
Everyone turned around and saw a young man in an official robe. He looked unfamiliar.
"Who are you?" A burly man walked out, his eyes fixed on the man as he panted.
"I'm the secretary of the rear military division.”Ma Xiaoshuai said to everyone.
"And me, Wang Cheng." Wang Cheng, who was chasing after them, jumped out and stood at the side.
Seeing that it was the people from the rear division who had come to disrupt the situation, everyone looked at each other and then…filtered the information.
"You bastard, everyone grab your weapons and fight to the death with these guys.”
"Come on, come on. I, Duan Chengzhi, have never been afraid of anyone.”
"F * ck your sister, I'll fight it out…"
On this side, the imperial court was bustling with activity. There were people who copied weapons, spitting saliva, jumping up and down, and cursing loudly. On the other hand, Ma Xiaoshuai and Wang Cheng, who were the focus of everyone's attention just now, looked desolate. No one was paying attention to them. It seemed that these people who were busy fighting did not take them seriously.
The two of them looked at each other awkwardly. At the same time, they could see the dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.
After all, he was young and hot-blooded, and as an official of the imperial court, it was inevitable that he would be angry at such a cold reception.
"Shut up!" The two people who had suffered a huge blow shouted in unison.
There was a saying that one plus one equals two…Well, it was probably the truth. In short, the two of them shouting together was more shocking than Ma Xiaoshuai shouting alone. The excited crowd was still suppressed. They stopped their hands and mouths at the same time and looked at the two people with anger. For a moment, there was silence.
"Look at your sister." Ma Xiaoshuai glared at the stupid man and said hatefully.
"Yeah, look at your sister." Wang Cheng didn't show any weakness, he followed Ma Xiaoshuai's words, his face fierce.
These poor guys were stunned by the sudden appearance of the two men. They were stunned for a moment. Ma Xiaoshuai and Ma Xiaoshuai, who suddenly revealed their aura because of anger, successfully suppressed the crowd. They slowly walked forward and stood in the middle of the two parties under the stunned eyes of the shirtless men.
Ma Xiaoshuai patrolled around and soon found the leader of the radical faction.
"What's your name?"
"Me? My name is Duan Zhicheng." The radical who had been more excited before replied blankly.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have regained their senses.
" This..." A burly man from the Conservatives walked out with a displeased expression.
"Lord Zhang." Ma Xiao Shuai said lightly.
"Lord Zhang, please don't interfere…"
"Interfering? Did I interfere with you?”Ma Xiaoshuai interrupted the man, looked around and said disdainfully,""Did I interrupt your quarrel or interfere with your fight?”
" This…" The man looked at the people behind him and was speechless.
"Although you are under the direct command of the Imperial Court, you are also under the command of my rear military division. As a military officer, I should be able to ask what's going on, right?”Ma Xiao Shuai looked around and said lightly.
"This…Yes, of course.”The burly man moved his lips and finally agreed.
"Alright, tell me."
"Lord Zhang, it's like this…"
"Let me tell you…"
"I'll go first!"
"Enough!" Ma Xiaoshuai, who had a headache, reached out his hands to stop the argument." Duan Zhicheng, one by one.”
"Yes."
"You go first."
"Yes." Duan Zhicheng was a thin young man who was fairer than these dark men. He was also the only one wearing clothes here. Hearing Ma Xiaoshuai's order, he looked at the group of dark-faced guys in front of him proudly. He raised his head childishly and made a provocative gesture," Mr. Zhang, it's like this. We were discussing the research and development this morning. Bing Chui and his gang..."
"Duan Zhicheng, I'll kill you if you talk about Bing Hammer again.”The burly man from before had a dark expression as he stomped his feet and cursed.
"Cough cough…pay attention to civilization, pay attention to civilization.”Ma Xiaoshuai, who couldn't help but laugh, came out to smooth things over.
"Alright then." Duan Zhicheng pursed his lips and continued,"" We're discussing the research and development of weapons. We propose that we should not only consider the sharpness of the weapons, but also consider many aspects. We should find other ways to make the weapons we've developed better…"
"This Duan Zhicheng is a target that the imperial court is focusing on grooming. He is also the head of the research and development department here. That dark-skinned man is called Teng Yun. He used to be a soldier and liked to forge weapons. After retiring from the army, he requested to be sent here. The imperial court considered his specialty and allowed him to come here.”Wang Cheng, who had been silent all this while, whispered into Ma Xiaoshuai's ear," So this place is mainly divided into two camps. One is responsible for research and development, and the other is responsible for forging. However, conflicts often occur.”
After Wang Cheng finished speaking, Ma Xiaoshuai also roughly understood that things were not much different from what he thought.
"But this group…these people are too pedantic. They say that it's fine as long as their weapons are sharp and that they can kill people with knives. There's no need to spend time thinking about other things. I don't think they should stay here at all. Just give them a stove and let them go back to the army to forge.”Duan Zhicheng was obviously excited as he spoke, and his tone was also very impolite.
"Hmph, kid, it's good to be young and impetuous, but you don't have to be so delusional, right?”Teng Yun said disdainfully.
"Fantasy? At least we still have our fantasies, unlike you…"
"What about us?"
"Stupid!"
"You!" Teng Yun was furious, and his face turned black and red." Good for you, Duan Chengzhi. You said I'm pedantic. Fine, today you'll talk about all aspects. I'd like to see what other ideas you have besides sharpness. It just so happens that Lord Zhang and Lord Wang are here. If you really have an idea and it's feasible, I, Teng Yun, will forge iron for you from now on. If you can't tell me why, you can ask for your life as soon as possible and pack your bags and get lost."”
Ma Xiaoshuai and Wang Cheng stood at the side, not saying anything. Actually, they also wanted to see what Duan Chengzhi thought.
Ma Xiaoshuai was curious and looking forward to it, while Wang Cheng was thinking that he had a new discovery that he could report back to the military.
" I..." To Ma Xiaoshuai's surprise, Duan Chengzhi didn't say it immediately, but stammered.
"You what? Tell me." When Teng Yun saw Duan Chengzhi like this, he was even more pleased with himself.
" This…I'm still thinking about it…" Duan Chengzhi straightened his neck and argued. He seemed a little lacking in confidence.
"So you haven't thought of it yet?"
"…Yes."
"Haha, I told you, this kid only knows how to talk nonsense.”Teng Yun said disdainfully.
The men responsible for forging behind him roared with laughter as if they had won. On the other hand, the faces of Duan Chengzhi's side turned green with indignation. However, there was nothing to say about the fact that this was the case. Their idea was actually only in its initial stage and did not have any substantial development direction.
"Alright, stop. I think what Duan Chengzhi said makes sense.”Ma Xiaoshuai stood up and said loudly.
" Lord Zhang... you..." Wang Cheng pulled Ma Xiaoshuai's arm in surprise.
"I'm fine."
"Lord Zhang, are you saying that you agree with those kids?”Teng Yun turned his head to look at Ma Xiao Shuai and sneered.
Everyone stopped laughing and looked at Ma Xiaoshuai, including Duan Chengzhi.
"Of course." Ma Xiaoshuai smiled," He can't say, but I can tell everyone."”
"Is that so? Then please advise me, Lord Zhang." Teng Yun said with a fake smile.
Ma Xiaoshuai curled his lips and took two steps forward, spitting out a few words to everyone.
"Lethality, technique, convenience, practicality, concealment!”
