"Please come in, guest officer!"
I heard Wang Ke ask.
A person came out of the blacksmith shop.
While wiping his sweat, he welcomed Wang Ke to sit in a pergola next to him.
Not long after.
Some guys brought tea.
The owner of the blacksmith shop cupped his hands and said, "This gentleman, I don't know what you are doing by visiting this small shop."
Wang Ke smiled and said: "I am a soldier and lack a weapon, so I came here to see if there is any suitable and good iron that can be used to make a weapon."
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "That's easy to say. I wonder what kind of weapon the general uses? How much weight does it need?"
Wang Ke replied: "I am good at using a spear, how about its weight... how about one hundred and eighty kilograms?"
"A long spear is easy to say, but a hundred and eighty pounds... is difficult."
The owner of the blacksmith shop frowned slightly after hearing Wang Ke's words, a little embarrassed.
"Why?"
Wang Ke raised his eyebrows and asked.
The shopkeeper replied: "If it is ordinary fine iron, a weapon weighing one hundred kilograms can be made, but a weapon weighing one hundred and eighty kilograms requires better raw materials than fine iron... This villain's shop, It is the property of the Wu family. If the general has nothing to do, I can take the general to the master and ask if there is any good iron material that can be used to make weapons."
"Wu family?"
Wang Ke asked with some confusion after hearing this.
The shopkeeper said: "Yes, my master is from the family of the old prince Zhongxiao."
"I see……"
Hear this.
Wang Ke nodded slightly.
Wu Jianzhang, the loyal and filial king, was the first person with a foreign surname among the founding fathers of the Sui Dynasty.
This man is both civilized and military, he mounts his horse to manage the army, dismounts his horse to manage the people, makes a white dragon flash his silver spear, and fights against the generals, he is a hero of the older generation.
After the founding of the Sui Dynasty.
Wu Jianzhang was named the Prime Minister and King Zhongxiao by virtue of his meritorious service. He had thousands of hectares of fertile land and dozens of manors, and was quite powerful.
at this time.
Wang Ke is indeed fine.
He straightened his clothes and said to the shopkeeper: "If the shopkeeper has nothing to do, can you help me introduce him?"
The shopkeeper said: "That's right."
then.
Wang Ke, Ling Wei, Gan Meng, and the shopkeeper walked out of the blacksmith shop, left Fangshi, turned south, and headed towards a manor of the Wu family.
It won’t take long.
Several people came outside a manor.
Wang Ke was located in front of the manor, looking up into the manor.
I saw a large empty field in the manor. In the field, large and small carriages were coming and going, and the carriages were transporting various gold and iron materials.
It was obvious that this was a larger blacksmith shop.
"General, this is Wu's Xuantie Village, which is where my master is responsible for managing."
The owner of the blacksmith shop introduced Wang Ke and led everyone inside.
"Owner!"
Enter the manor.
The shop owner went straight to the big venue.
He saluted respectfully to a middle-aged man with a thick build and strong muscles, and immediately told this man everything Wang Ke wanted.
Hearing this, the man turned around, looked at Wang Ke, and then raised his hands and said: "I'm Wu Biao, this general invites you."
"Hello, Brother Wu. I'm Wang Ke. I'm here today to ask for a weapon. Please help me."
Wang Ke bowed his hands and said with a smile.
Wu Biao nodded slightly and said: "Easy to say, I just got a piece of overseas cold iron here. If the general thinks it is suitable, I can forge it into a weapon."
As he spoke, Wu Biao led Wang Ke inside and sat down in the hall.
After a while.
Several servants brought refreshments.
Wu Biao picked up the tea and asked Wang Ke: "I just heard that the general said that he wanted to build a spear weighing 180 kilograms, right?"
"exactly."
Wang Ke nodded and said.
"I wonder what the general's requirements are for the format of the spear?"
Wu Biao asked again.
Wang Ke said: "The weapon I am currently using is a solid iron point steel gun, which weighs seventy-five kilograms. Brother Wu can make it one hundred and eighty kilograms based on this scale."
"That's fine! The overseas cold iron I have here is suitable for use. General, please stay here for a moment. I will calculate the cost of making it and then come back to serve."
Wu Biao's eyes were burning, he remembered what Wang Ke said one by one, and then he raised his hands and said.
Say it.
He stood up and walked out of the hall.
but.
At this moment.
But I heard a rush of horse hooves coming from outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards.
A tall figure walked in quickly.
"Wu Biao, how much overseas Hantie is there? Send me a pair of 200-pound Huntian boring machines!"
The man walked into the hall, and before he could stop, a sound like thunder reached Wang Ke's ears.
Hear this sound.
Wang Ke raised his eyes and looked towards the door.
I saw a man walking there, and he looked like a man - one foot tall, with a waist ten inches wide, a red face and a yellow beard, eyes like lightning, wearing a red war robe with a colorful collar, and carrying a sharkskin sheath waist knife.
When this person came to the hall, his eyes also fell on Wang Ke, Ling Wei, and Gan Meng.
He frowned slightly, looked at Wu Biao, and asked, "Wu Biao, do you have a guest here?"
"Hahaha, it turns out that Mr. Tianxi has arrived, and he was not greeted from afar... These few guests are also here to make weapons."
Wu Biao arched his hands and saluted the tall man.
The man said "Oh", looked Wang Ke up and down, and asked: "Your Excellency has a handsome appearance, but you also want to make a weapon? I don't know how heavy it is? What kind of weapon is it?"
Wang Ke returned the salute with his hands raised and said, "I, Wang Ke, have come here to make a spear weighing one hundred and eighty kilograms."
"One hundred and eighty kilograms? Hahaha! You have such a big breath, I wonder if you have the physical strength to carry such a heavy weight?"
This man is none other than Wu Tianxi, the direct nephew of King Zhongxiao Wu Jianzhang.
Wu Tianxi's parents died when he was young, and he has been living with his uncle Wu Jianzhang.
Wu Jianzhang was very happy when he saw that he was born with supernatural power and could use a pair of two hundred kilograms of iron boring bars, so he kept him by his side and taught him day and night.
But in recent years.
As Wu Tianxi gets older.
He became more and more unruly.
Wu Jianzhang gradually calmed down and let him do whatever he wanted without much control.
This day.
He and his brother Wu Yunzhao returned from hunting.
When they arrived near Xuantie Village.
He suddenly remembered that Zhuangzi had acquired a new piece of overseas cold iron, so he thought about finishing a pair of Huntian boring machines for future battles.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the hall, he found another person who also wanted to make a weapon.
Seeing Wu Tianxi was very rude.
Gan Meng, who was standing behind Wang Ke, could no longer hold himself back.
He suddenly took a step forward and shouted loudly: "You are so rude. Are you so disrespectful as soon as you open your mouth?"
Wu Tianxi clasped his hands on his chest, laughed loudly, and said, "This is my Wu family's territory. Even if you are rude, what dare you do?"
Gan Meng cursed: "If everyone in the Wu family is like you, they won't be able to pass on to the second generation!"
"presumptuous!"
Upon hearing Gan Meng's words.
Wu Tianxi was furious.
He swayed and punched Gan with his left hand.
When Gan Meng saw Wu Tianxi's punch, he immediately moved forward instead of retreating. He dodged slightly, raised his right palm, and struck Wu Tianxi's punch hard.
boom!
A soft sound.
Wu Tianxi's boxing skills are heavy.
He shook Gan Meng's palm away.
He even took Gan Meng back two or three steps.
