183 No knife, can a hammer work?

After coming out of the governor's house, Li Shimin first went to the largest pawnshop in Yuhang, which is now the so-called pawn shop.

He pawned a pair of unicorn jade rations he had in exchange for fifty taels of gold. Along with the twenty-odd taels of gold in his purse, he gave them all to Lin Shuhang, and then asked with a smile: "Brother, look at what happened today.

How about Governor Wutong?"

"With bad intentions, I'm afraid there will be inconvenience." Lin Shuhang just didn't want to make suggestions or predict the future, but he didn't really want to pretend to be a fool. When Li Shimin asked, he answered easily.

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Brother, you really have the understanding of a general. Marching, fighting, and military matters are actually easy to learn. What is really difficult to learn is how to guess people's hearts..."

As soon as Lin Shuhang heard what he said, he knew that Li Shimin was deliberately cultivating him.

After all, in Li Shimin's eyes, no matter how powerful Li Xuan's martial arts skills were, he was still just a seventeen-year-old boy who learned martial arts from a reckless man, had not read any military books, and had just joined the army for less than two years.

Yue's little pawn, so when he had the opportunity, he wanted to test his understanding and teach him how to march and fight, but he never said a word "teaching". This relationship between teacher and friend was well grasped by him, and he was really able to cultivate it.

Extremely attentive.

Lin Shuhang felt a little emotional when he recalled it.

Tang Taizong's method of manipulating people's hearts is truly unparalleled throughout history. If Taizong is said to be ranked second in this art of controlling his subordinates, then there may not be many people in history who would dare to claim to be first.

Frankly speaking, this is me. If someone else was treated like this, would they be afraid that they would not be able to give up their heart and soul for Li Shimin? It is no wonder that even a bad boy like Duan Zhixuan was treated submissively by him.

"Wu Tong didn't want to borrow troops, but I used my words to stop him, so he had to borrow them. Now he just wants to stabilize us temporarily." Li Shimin said with a smile: "It's not that we have arranged to stay at the inn tonight instead of staying at his home.

He arrived, but he was afraid that I would die in his home and cause trouble for him... There must be some injustice in the inn tonight. Brothers, you can spread the money with the Xuanjia Army and let the soldiers disperse and shop on the street outside.

Fill your stomach in the wine shop, and even the horses will be fed with fodder outside. Once you enter the inn, you must not eat anything in that inn."

Lin Shuhang secretly praised Li Shimin for his carefulness, and nodded at this time: "The sergeants spread out. Even if they are followed and drugged, it is impossible for everyone to be infected. This is indeed the safest way."

Li Shimin understood the key point instantly when he saw him. He laughed and patted Lin Shuhang's shoulder gently: "Brother, since you understand, I don't need to say more. Then you are responsible for arranging the Xuanjia Army. It is best to assign some people to live in it.

Outside the inn, I took a few people to go around the Yuhang military camp, and showed my face everywhere on the street, not only to see if there were any troops in the military camp, but also to let everyone in Yuhang know that I, Li Shimin, was here. In this way, the two of us

Let’s go our separate ways and meet again at the inn in the next hour!”

"good!"

There were 100 Xuanjia troops who followed Li Shimin from Taiyuan. Thirteen of them were killed in this battle, and six of them were killed by Luo Shixin who later pursued Li Shimin.

In the chaotic formation of thousands of troops, a team of a hundred people can control the battle damage to such an extent, which shows the strength of this army. Not only is its combat power strong, but it also has strict orders and well-trained training. Lin Shuhang picked this ready-made and used it.

It's quite easy to get up.

Several team captains were summoned to explain, each of them was divided into a few taels of gold, and then they dispersed. Lin Shuhang had other things to do.

Mainly I wanted to go to the blacksmith shop to see if I could make a weapon overnight.

If you want to attract the attention of the imaginary Cambrian, you have to be strong enough and stand out. If you only have the same strength as Luo Shixin, it will not be effective.

Your own strength cannot be improved in a short period of time, you can only work hard on your weapons.

Xuanxing Sword Technique regards weight as respect. When it reaches the third level, even if you only hold a piece of dead grass in your hand, you can still hit it with the effect of Xuanxing. That is when you can truly understand the essence of Xuanxing Sword Technique.

Practiced to the top.

But after all, it is only the second level now. If you want to truly exert the power of Xuanxing Sword Technique, you have to use weapons.

When I first practiced the Xuanxing Sword Technique, the first level required a sword weighing two hundred kilograms, and the second level required a sword weighing eight hundred kilograms. Wang Junkuo's Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which weighed about a hundred kilograms, was used to perform the first level of the Xuanxing Sword Technique.

It's still not enough, let alone exerting the second level of power.

But even so, he and Luo Shixin were evenly matched on the battlefield in the morning. Lin Shuhang could roughly judge that if he was really given a heavy sword weighing 800 kilograms, then even Luo Shixin would not be able to block a few of his swords.

After all, during the war years, there were quite a few blacksmith shops in Yuhang. Lin Shuhang picked the largest one and went in to explain his purpose.

Hearing that Lin Shuhang wanted to make a knife, he immediately threw out ten taels of gold. The owner of the blacksmith shop was very happy and excited. He kept saying that no matter what kind of knife, he could make it, but he heard that it was eight hundred kilograms.

, the boss was almost shocked and his jaw dropped.

"Hero, eight hundred catties? I'm afraid it's not eight hundred taels?"

"That's eight hundred pounds."

The boss confirmed again and again, and finally his eyes widened: "I have been fighting weapons all my life, and the heaviest large-ring knife I have ever seen is 120 kilograms, 800 kilograms? I've never heard of it. I'm afraid the customer won't take it from me.

Are you looking for fun? Not to mention that I can’t pull out such a heavy knife, but even if I pull it out, can you, my guest, handle it?"

"It doesn't matter whether you can hold it or not. Just tell me whether you can hit it or not."

"It can't be beaten!" The boss shook his head repeatedly: "There is no such knife! It weighs 800 kilograms, so what kind of handle can it bear? Even an iron one won't work. What about a Kaifeng? An eight hundred kilogram knife,

If all the guys in my shop come together, they may not be able to lift it up for you. If I give you a dull knife, are you afraid of smashing my sign? If you want to say that it's possible to hit an eight hundred kilogram hammer, then it's still possible.

It's time to forge two iron eggs for you, but the hammer handle needs some work, but when it comes to knives, let alone my place, you can search all over Yuhang. If anyone can beat it, I'll pay for it for you!

"

Lin Shuhang pondered for a moment: "What if you don't need to attack?"

"If you don't use the edge, what's the point of calling it a knife? Guest, did you come here to smash my sign on purpose? Besides, if you don't use the edge, what's the difference between it and a hammer?"

"...Then you can just hit the hammer. Maybe you can get it tomorrow?"

"The guest is joking again." The boss looked at the ten taels of gold on the table. For the first time, he felt that he was suffering a loss by using the gold to exchange for iron.

It would take three days and three nights to add more, not to mention there is not so much pig iron in the shop at all, and I have to buy it for you, plus make hammer handles and so on... If you have these ten taels of gold, I will at least give you

If you ship the goods in half a month, if you are willing to add another five taels, it will take five days at the earliest!"

Li Shimin, regardless of whether the borrowing of troops is successful or not, will leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest. How can he have time to wait for him for five days?

I had no choice but to give up and go to other blacksmith shops to ask. The answers were all the same, and most of them refused to connect at all.

Lin Shuhang was also a little melancholy, but he knew it was the truth.

When he was in Kanas, he had to wait for more than two months for the eight-hundred-jin sword he customized. He had to wait until he was tired of playing with the two-hundred-jin sword before it arrived. It was as big as a horse, except for the weight.

Besides, it is actually not easy to swing.

I thought that this was already the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and iron smelting technology had greatly improved compared to the Han Dynasty, so it should be done in a short time, but I ended up overthinking it.

Even if you resort to hammering as the next best option, it can't be done in a day or two.

Fortunately, this one-time clearance mission showed that there would be a follow-up. It seemed that we could only complete this trip with Li Shimin first, and then think about the eight hundred kilograms of weapons when things stabilized.

After getting the weapons, I went to the street and bought a detailed map of Jianghang and Hangzhou. I searched carefully on the map and found the location of the so-called "Siping Mountain" just as I had guessed.

Different from the previously imagined Siming Mountain, the so-called Siping Mountain required by this simulator is also near Jiangzhou, but it is still more than 20 miles away from Jiangzhou to the west, which is completely contrary to Yuhang.

It's not the destination Li Shimin wants to go to tomorrow at all.

The simulator asked him to escort Li Shimin to Siping Mountain. What does this mean?

It's really puzzling, maybe because new clues haven't emerged yet.

We found a tavern to have something to eat. When we returned to the inn, it was still early. Hu Tie'er got the news from somewhere that Li Shimin and his party were staying at the inn and came over.

He had already found a place to live in Yuhang, on a street in the east of the city, and came to tell Lin Shuhang the address.

Seeing Hu Tie'er, Lin Shuhang thought about the knife again. Although he didn't have time to wait here, Hu Tie'er could.

At this time, I gave him instructions about making knives. He only said that it was best to make knives. If the merchant really didn't want to accept it, then he could just make a hammer. There was no need to use a sharp edge or do any other fancy things. The only requirement was that eight

One hundred pounds, the time is half a month at the latest, the sooner the better.

After finishing the fight, if Lin Shuhang has not returned to Yuhang, he will either be in Jiangzhou or Siping Mountain. Just ask Hu Tie'er to inquire about his whereabouts and send his things to him as soon as possible.

Hu Tie'er was secretly dumbfounded when he heard this, but after all, this was something used by the Enxian and the Immortal. How could it be lighter? Eight hundred pounds is probably just an appetizer.

When Li Shimin returned to the inn, it was already dark. Lin Shuhang had a brief chat with him and learned that troops were indeed being mobilized in the military camp. This was a bit relieved, but he did not let his guard down.

"Perhaps Wu informed me that he would spy on me, so he just nodded on purpose to calm my mind." Li Shimin did not drink the tea sent by the inn, but boiled water and drank it himself. He only said: "You still need to be careful tonight.
