Dian Wei and Zhang Fei fought for more than ten rounds, but still couldn't decide the outcome and stopped at the same time.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xian walked away and said with a smile: "You two are really well matched!"

Only then did Dian Wei and Zhang Fei notice that Liu Xian had gotten up, and immediately came forward to pay homage: "Brother!"

Liu Xian nodded, glanced at the iron halberd in Dian Wei's hand, and asked curiously: "Elai, where did your iron halberd come from?"

Dian Wei looked at Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "My third brother gave it to me."

Zhang Fei said: "Brother, here are some fine weapons left over from horse merchants in the past. They are all made of the best iron and steel. They are just for the use of our two brothers."

Then he rushed out and said: "Brother, I have a long knife here!" After saying that, he quickly walked to the stone table not far away, put down the Zhangba snake spear, picked up a long knife from the stone table and presented it to Liu

idle.

Liu Xian took the long knife and looked at it. He was surprised to find that the long knife was not the ghost-headed sword he had imagined. The blade was long and straight, and slightly curved inward. There was an iron ring on the handle, and the blade had a cyan color.

The cloud patterns and the cold light were frightening. Even with Liu Xian's ignorant eyes, he knew that this long sword was definitely extraordinary.

Liu Xian was very happy and said to Zhang Fei: "This sword is great!"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that his eldest brother liked it. He smiled and said: "If eldest brother likes it, then there's nothing better."

Liu Xian danced a few times and felt that the weight was very handy, and he couldn't put it down.

Liu Xian thought for a while and said with a smile: "Let's call this long sword Yun Lei."

He looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Yide, I want you to come to my side and help me. Are you willing?"

Zhang Fei clasped his fists without hesitation and said: "You are my eldest brother. My eldest brother has my destiny. I will live through fire and water without hesitation!" Then he grinned and said, "I also want to follow my eldest brother to have a career!"

Liu Xian smiled and patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said: "Okay, we will return to Fanyang in a few days. Please explain the things here." Zhang Fei clasped his fists and promised.

The reason why Liu Xian didn't return to Fan Yang for a few days was because he still wanted to stay in Zhuo County to look for Guan Yu, who was supposed to be selling beans in Zhuo County at this time.

However, after several days, Liu Xian still did not find out any news about Guan Yu.

After all, Liu Xian couldn't stay in Zhuojun for long, so he had to leave the continued search to Zhang Fei's Zhuang Ding, and he himself took Dian Wei and Zhang Fei back to Fan Yang.

A few days later, Liu Xian led Dian Wei, Zhang Fei and dozens of servants brought out by Zhang Fei back to Fan Yang.

Before Liu Xian sat down, Zhao Laotie, who was in charge of the ordnance field, came excitedly to report: "Sir, sir, I have made plate armor according to your instructions!"

Liu Xian was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Bring it to me quickly!"

Zhao Laotie hurriedly shouted outside: "Bring it in quickly and show it to the adults!"

Several armory workers came in immediately carrying a large box and placed it in the middle of the hall.

Zhao Laotie opened the box excitedly, took out the armor that seemed to be the torso, and showed it: "Sir, this is a plate armor made from one piece according to the method taught by the adults. It is simpler to make than the previous armor, and it is very strong.

!”

Liu Xian quickly stepped forward, took the armor and inspected it, but frowned slightly.

It turned out that Liu Xian hoped that his men could create exquisite plate armor similar to the Gothic armor, but the plate armor in front of him seemed too rough compared to the Gothic armor, and it was almost like the difference between a genuine product and a copycat product.

.

But then I thought about it, the era when Gothic armor was produced would be more than a thousand years later, so it is very rare to be able to create such armor now.

Seeing that Liu Xian didn't seem very happy, Zhao Laotie couldn't help but become nervous and asked cautiously: "Sir, are you dissatisfied with this armor?"

Liu Xian smiled and shook his head and said, "No, I'm very satisfied." Zhao Laotie couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Liu Xian turned to Dian Wei and said, "When evil comes, come and see through it."

Dian Wei made a promise and came forward.

Zhao Laotie quickly called on his workers to help Dian Wei put it on.

This set of iron plate armor is divided into seven parts: helmet, neck guard, wings, torso, skirt, arm guards, and foot guards. Each part is fixed to the human body with ropes made of cowhide.

Liu Xian suddenly discovered that although this set of plate armor was not as exquisite and beautiful as the Gothic armor in later museums, it seemed more practical.

After Dian Wei put on the armor, Liu Xian couldn't help but his eyes widened and he praised: "Evil, you look even more powerful in such an outfit!"

Dian Wei grinned. However, because he wore a neck protector to cover his mouth and nose, Liu Xian and the others did not see his smile.

Liu Xian turned to Zhao Laotie and said: "You have done a good job, everyone will be rewarded!" Zhao Laotie thanked him with great joy.

Liu Xian thought of a question and asked: "Is the production cost of this set of armor very high?"

Zhao Laotie thought for a while and said: "To tell you what my lord, this set of armor is actually much easier to make than traditional armor and takes much less time. The cost is mainly in terms of materials. A set of traditional armor costs about fifty

Jin, and this kind of armor weighs sixty kilograms, so the cost of such a set of armor is about the same as that of traditional armor."

(Note: One catty in the Han Dynasty is different from one catty in modern times, and is roughly equivalent to half a catty in modern society. Therefore, the sixty catties he mentioned are now thirty catties and fifteen kilograms.)

When Liu Xian heard this, he was immediately delighted and asked: "How many of these armors can you make for me now?"

Zhao Laotie thought for a while, clasped his fists and said, "If all the existing iron materials were used to make this kind of armor, more than six hundred sets could be made."

Liu Xian shook his head and said: "We can't all use it to make armor. Let's use half of the quantity to make three hundred sets of iron armor. In addition, these three hundred sets of iron armor must be equipped with long-handled horse-killing swords."

Zhao Laotie clasped his fists in agreement and led his men in a hurry.

Liu Xian summoned his officers to gather in the hall and introduced Zhang Fei to everyone. Everyone was very happy to see that the master had accepted such a brave and incomparable figure as a brother.

It was late at night, and Liu Xian was leaning on the waterside pavilion in the yard, drinking wine out of boredom. All things were left to the two brothers and his subordinates, and Liu Xian felt a little bored.

Looking at the moon in the sky, I couldn't help but think of my hometown two thousand years ago, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. I was afraid I would never go back in this life. I sighed, picked up the bottle and drank.

When my thoughts return to the present, I can't help but wonder why the Yellow Turban Rebellion hasn't started yet?

At this moment, rapid footsteps came from outside.

Liu Xian retracted his thoughts, followed the sound, and saw Li Rong running quickly from outside. Liu Xian's heart skipped a beat, wondering if something had happened?

Li Rong rushed into the waterside pavilion and paid homage to Liu Xian: "Sir, we have just received an urgent report that the troops guarding the official road in the northeast were attacked by several groups of bandits wearing yellow scarves not long ago, and more than fifty people were lost!"

Liu Xian was startled, Gulu sat up, took the bamboo slip from Li Rong, unfolded it and read it again. He frowned and said, "How could such a thing happen? His head is wrapped in a yellow scarf? Is it the Yellow Turban Army?"
Chapter completed!
