Fortunately, there are a lot of guards here. After roaring, two guards immediately sprang out from the corner and stood majestically in front of Xiao Han. However, Xiao Han knew that these two men were the same when he saw their bulging cheeks. I was eating secretly just now.
"Eat, just eat. Everyone is as fat as a pig. How can you catch up with a thief?! I think you need to work in a cement kiln for two days to lose weight!"
The two guards were each kicked by Xiao Han, and they immediately changed from heroes to bears. Their spines, which were straight just now, instantly bent down. They nodded and bowed and laughed together: "Master Hou, kick me gently, we don't have to get up this morning." It's early, don't you have time to eat? Besides, how can any thief dare to come here now? The high wall you ordered Lei is covered with iron caltrops, and whose dog is fierce inside, even if a thief comes, he can't Don’t dare to enter…”
When Xiao Han heard this, he became even more angry and kicked him again: "Fart, there is nothing in this world that is unexpected, not impossible! You take it for granted all day long, I think you are in debt! If someone comes in, this Don't you dare to hide even if you want to get paid in your whole life! Go back and keep watch..."
"Okay~"
I quickly agreed, and the two guards rubbed oil on their soles and ran away. They have long been used to the Marquis's scolding and scolding. Although they scolded fiercely, the Marquis is really good to us, so we don't dare to offend him!
"Hey~ come back!"
Unexpectedly, the two of them had just taken two steps when they heard Xiao Han calling them again. Although they were confused, they hurried back.
"Um... where are Lao Zhao and the others? I've been searching all morning and my head is dizzy. Where did these people go?"
"Old... Zhao..." When the two guards heard this, the boss opened his mouth and looked behind Xiao Han in shock.
"What's wrong? Your mouth is so wide, you haven't eaten enough?" Xiao Han and Xiaodong looked back strangely, only to find a head sticking out of the window of the house behind them. Who could it be if it wasn't Lao Zhao?
Qingqing himself has been standing at the door of other people's houses, and these bastards didn't even say a word when they saw him bumping around outside!
With a dark face, he kicked the door in and found that there were people in the room staggering around and taking naps, and Lao Zhao was busy kicking people on the ground.
It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't call me, but that he was all asleep. Looking at Lao Zhao's black eyes, he must have had a hard time last night. When he saw Lao Zhao kicking one person, he had to kick the second one, so he quickly stopped Lao Zhao. .
"Hey, hey, Lao Zhao, stop kicking and let me sleep for a while. What's wrong? Why do you only go to bed in the morning?"
Hearing this, Lao Zhao put down his feet and smiled sheepishly at Xiao Han: "Mr. Marquis laughed at me. Last night, the brothers were all looking at the efficacy of this potion. They were not sleepy at all. Who knew that in the morning, they would all be up? Can’t stand it anymore…”
"If you can't stand it any longer, take a rest. If you overwork your body, you'll suffer. What do you think after watching it all night?"
"I can see it! I can see it!" Lao Zhao quickly took out a few pieces of iron armor from the bucket on the side and handed them to Xiao Han. He also took out a few pieces from the other two buckets and held them in his hands, one on the left and the other on the right. , show it to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han looked down and saw that the piece of iron in his hand had obviously been treated with that kind of potion. It was black and seemed to be warm in his hand, not as cold as ordinary iron pieces.
Looking at the two pieces in Lao Zhao's hand, they are not the same. The piece in his left hand already has large rust spots, while the piece in his right hand, although the rust is not visible on the large surface, there are still circles on the edge. The same rust spots.
"Look, Lord Marquis!" Lao Zhao pointed to the armor in Xiao Han's hand and said, "This piece of armor in your hand has been left there all night, and I used a wooden stick to stir it up for most of an hour. Nothing happened at all! It looks like It can be used on the battlefield. You see, this is our current armor leaf. Although the rust is not as bad as this new steel, there are still rust spots!"
Xiao Han looked at the three armor leaves back and forth, and Xiaodong behind him also stretched his neck to look at them, looking very interested.
In the end, Xiao Han returned all three armor pieces to Lao Zhao, looked at the armor pieces still soaked in the water in the bucket and said: "Yes, Lao Zhao, there are two sets of soaking here, right? Keep soaking one set, and soak three. God, check to see if it is rusty. Take another set and make it into armor, and try to see if its protective power is reduced. We must deal with this as soon as possible. This is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for sloppiness!"
Old Zhao nodded quickly, threw the three armor pieces back into their own buckets, and then said: "What the Marquis said is that not rusting is only one aspect, the most important thing is the protective ability. I will find someone right now." String them together and try again!”
Stringing armor is a very troublesome thing. It doesn't require much skill, but it takes a lot of time. By the time a set of armor is stringed out, Xiao Han has already eaten lunch.
Another unlucky pig was pulled out. I originally wanted to let Xiaodong try it on to see how it would actually look when someone wore it. Unfortunately, Xiaodong refused to obey, so he had to suffer for this fat pig...
The poor fat pig was stabbed with a knife and a spear, and almost chopped with a mountain axe. The cry was so pitiful that it made people feel sad, and yet the group of killers were still applauding. If the Animal Protection Association of later generations saw these things, People must be criticized to the point of being completely naked!
However, Piggy's sacrifice was not ineffective. In the end, the experimental results came out. The protective power of the armor was not reduced at all, and when faced with weapons such as horse-shaped spears, the protective power was even enhanced. The current iron plate More difficult to pierce!
The blacksmiths who were watching were all grinning from ear to ear. Not only was this a major event that benefited the country, but the Marquis also gave him a large reward. It was time to build furniture at home. With this reward, he should be able to buy a few pieces of furniture. What a good wood!
The armor was pulled out of the pig and placed on a wooden shelf. A group of people walked around it three times without finding any faults!
From design to material selection, who would know that this set of armor should be the most advanced set of armor in the entire Tang Dynasty, even though it looks so inconspicuous...
Old Zhao stretched out his hand and flicked the round helmet, turned to Xiao Han and said, "Master Hou, now that this armor has been finalized, you should give it a name. What do you think would be a more appropriate name for it?" "
"Name it?" Xiao Han scratched his head, wondering what name he would give. He wanted to "borrow" the armor name from his previous game, but he couldn't think of a more suitable one for a while.
"The black one, the one with beak leaves, what should I call it?"
Xiao Han was still racking his brains to think about it, but Chief Cao, who had just arrived, his eyes lit up: "Hey, the name given by the Marquis is not bad! Xuanjia! Simple and elegant! Black, Xuanye! It makes people feel like Listen, you will know what this armor looks like. If there is an army in the future, all equipped with such armor, and named Xuanjia Army, wouldn't it be very impressive?!"
"Okay, Mr. Hou is so talented in literature. This name is so good that I can't think of it in a hundred years!"
"That's right, that's right, Lord Marquis is such a talented person, how can we be able to match him?"
Before Xiao Han could react, the flattery sounds came from below. Xiao Han was a little drunk when he heard it. It's just Xuan Jiajun. Why is this name so familiar?
The autumn wind was bleak and the weather was getting colder. Some time ago, he had just packed fifty sets of armors on the train and sent them to Xiao Lizi on the front line. Xiao Han could finally rest.
Lord Marquis, he is not for working, especially now, while working and worrying at the same time, Xiao Han feels like he has lost several pounds...
Give yourself a holiday and go fishing with a fishing rod. Behind him, General Hengha followed with a shovel and a sad face. I don’t know why Mr. Hou is so obsessed with fishing recently, but you lose your temper every time you fail to catch a fish. Fishing rod fish It wouldn't be a good idea to throw all the baskets into the river. Every time I saw Mr. Hou pick up the fishing rod, I would tremble in my heart. I really wanted to dive down and hook up two fishes for him, but it was better than going down every time. Fishing rod...
But the sky opened its eyes, and the fool finally avoided going into the water today, because: Lord Marquis, he actually caught a fish!
As soon as the fish was hooked, the fool behind him almost burst into tears. After how long, the fish master finally heard his prayer, and finally one came up, although it was only the size of a palm...
Of course, Xiaodong was beside him and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he went to Chang'an two days ago to find a fisherman who was the best at fishing and paid a lot of money for the secret recipe. He had been hunting for several days in this place. The nearby fish are all crowded here, waiting for the fish feeders to come over. In this case, except for Jiang Ziya, it is estimated that anyone who drops a hook can catch a fish...
"You fool, hurry up, what are you waiting for? Pick the fish off and put it in the fish basket. Hurry up. If the fish runs away, go down and touch it up!"
A loud shout interrupted General Hengha's thoughts. The two looked at each other and quickly grabbed the line and unhooked the hook. The palm-sized fish was so pinched by the idiot that it was deformed, fearing that it would really run away! I really don’t understand why Lord Marquis values a fish so much when he doesn’t lack for this kind of food.
Not only Xiaodong didn't understand, but probably no one in the entire Tang Dynasty could understand Xiao Han's mood at this time. When he was a child, he caught a lot of fish, but fishing...
Hey, who would have thought that until I came to Datang, I would catch fish for the first time in my life...
However, it's not too late. Xiao Han felt very comfortable after completing his fishing achievement. Even the group of people in the far lower reaches of the river who were busy erecting water trucks looked so pleasing to the eye. If they couldn't catch fish, they would just point to the sky and the earth. Call them a bunch of idiots.
The fishhook was reattached with new bait and thrown into the water. The fish float made of goose feathers had long been updated to cork material. The colorfully painted fish float only floated on the water for a few seconds before it suddenly plunged into the water. Xiao was delighted. Han shouted again and again!
Fishing is addictive, especially when the catch is good. Xiao Han didn't bother to go back for lunch. He sat there from the morning until the afternoon without moving. Of course, the harvest also changed from palm-sized fish to small fish. A basket of more than three kilograms of carp made Xiaodong burst into tears. The money was finally not wasted...
Another one took the bait, plus the miscellaneous fish and crabs in the trap over there. It seemed that the whole fish feast was in place tonight. He yelled for the fool to untie the fishhook, and Xiao Han stretched out his hands in high spirits. Stretching one's back, ordinary people are so happy today!
