Chapter 120: Fine iron technology makes people greedy
Want to negotiate?
Sure enough, he came for me, Shen Lin.
If you hold Liu Chuer hostage, you will definitely want something.
Liang Zizhong galloped out of the military camp with five carriages.
The car was covered with thick black felt.
Anyone in the know knows what's underneath.
Shen Lin nodded towards him. It seemed that these people's reactions were quite fast.
"Old Liang, I'm not a fool. Three cars are enough."
In late autumn in the north, the temperature drops quickly.
The sun is high in the sky, but it doesn't feel very hot.
Deep in the vast grassy beach, there are densely covered salt-alkali land, pools and swamps.
The northwest wind caused the weeds to sway and rustle.
Fortunately, this area is close to the Lushui River and is mostly made of sand and pebbles.
Transportation is easy, the weeds are almost all cut, and cars and horses can barely pass.
Shen Lin led the people for a while when he heard the red lady yelling and scolding in front of them.
"Two old immortals."
"How can we, Lushui Tiecheng, be sorry for you?"
"Liu Chu'er asked you to provoke you? Ah? Who can't be kidnapped?"
"Kiddling her?"
"If Chu'er gets hurt in the slightest, I swear."
"I will definitely hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
Across a green pool, Master Mao's hunchback disappeared.
He straightened his body, sat cross-legged on the ground, and smoked a dry cigarette slowly.
"hehe!"
"Red Lady, Chen Tianhao's second daughter!"
"Your family has done a lot of kidnapping, extortion, robbery and killing."
"Come on, don't pretend to be a knight-errant here."
"We, each other!"
When Shen Lin heard this from a distance, his heart couldn't help but sink.
Damn it, hiring Chen family children to join the army is confidential.
We had already negotiated it at the beginning, and we were not allowed to talk nonsense.
So as not to be heard by interested people and cause unnecessary trouble.
After all, he has a thousand households, and the Tiecheng garrison is also a regular army organized by the imperial court.
Colluding with bandits and bandits in the mountains is a serious crime.
The red lady jumped up and down in anger.
If it weren't for her scruples, Granny Ding and Liu Chu'er would hide and not show up.
She had already ordered her men to fire their crossbows.
Anyway, it's less than two hundred steps across the pool.
The opponent doesn't even have a piece of leather armor, why can't he turn into a hedgehog?
Old guy.
You are so confident!
"You, you, you... who bully a weak woman, what kind of hero are you?"
Mao Ye's ears twitched and he noticed a large group of cavalry approaching at a trot.
He patted his butt and slowly stood up.
"Hey, little girl, don't waste your saliva."
"Master Mao, I'm not a hero, hahaha!"
"After waiting for so long, it's time for Shen Lin to come, right?"
"Let him come over and let us have a good chat."
More and more officers and soldiers gathered by the waterhole, and they all leveled their crossbows.
All it takes is an order from above.
Everyone wanted to shoot this hateful old man to death.
Madam is gentle, kind, and has no fights with the world. How can you do this?
It's absolutely infuriating.
Shen Lin jumped off the horse and winked at Liang Zizhong.
The other party understands.
The carriage behind also pushed over with difficulty.
A group of officers were breathing rapidly and their eyes were burning.
Just two old guys who were about to die, actually alarmed so many people?
Unfortunately, Master Mao and Grandma Ding are very good at choosing places.
Across the pool, behind them was an even more deserted place.
There are overgrown weeds and dense swamps.
Normally no one would go deep, mainly because the depths are too dangerous.
However, since people have chosen this place.
And he waited for everyone to come without any scruples.
That means that Master Mao and Po Ding have already explored the path in the deserted grassland.
They don't worry about not being able to get out.
"Okay, here I come!"
Shen Lin walked to the edge of the pool and shouted towards the opposite side.
"Master Mao, what can I do to let my wife go?"
"What are the conditions? Tell me!"
He pointed to the carriage behind him.
"I brought some gold and silver with me!"
"As long as you open your mouth, there's nothing you can't talk about."
Mr. Mao tapped the cigarette pot on the sole of his shoe, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his old face.
"Shen Lin, Lord Qianhu."
"Are you really an old man? Are you an illiterate idiot?"
"Can you lift up the black felt and try it?"
"A vehicle-mounted bed crossbow, have you never seen this before?"
"Back off, back off, all troops, horses, and weapons. No detours or outflanking allowed."
"I don't want to see blood, so we should cooperate better. It will be good for everyone!"
"Shen Lin, come here alone."
Everyone was secretly worried, the old guy kept spying.
Does he know about the vehicle-mounted formation-breaking crossbow that has been stored in the Wandering Beach military camp?
Let's do a few test shots occasionally.
The vigilance rangers were all spread out for a mile or two.
The old thing can't get close.
It shows that he knows about ordnance.
These days, formation-breaking crossbows are also being installed on the city walls.
It was normal for him to see the real thing from a distance.
But I can imagine that these three carriages are equipped with broken crossbows.
That would be very simple.
Shen Lin gestured to Liang Zizhong and others to take fifty steps back.
He didn't believe that the old guy could figure out the performance of the formation-breaking crossbow.
"Master Mao, where is Chu'er?"
"It doesn't matter if I go there? How to be sure? Is she dead or alive?"
Mr. Mao cracked his yellow teeth and smiled proudly.
"Simple!"
This guy pursed his lips and whistled, imitating some kind of bird call.
"Xu Lili..."
I’ll add another sentence when I’m done.
"Old lady, tell Master Shen that you are safe!"
The red lady's teeth were almost broken.
He cursed in a low voice: "Old man, let me let you be proud first!"
"Sooner or later, my aunt will...skin you off!"
Chen Yun warned: "Wushuang, you are an officer now."
"You're not the only one worried here."
"Who doesn't want to rescue Madame?"
"You have to listen to the adults' arrangements!"
Deep in the thatch, Po Ding opened the gourd and sprinkled some cold water on Liu Chuer's face.
The girl opened her eyelids blankly.
Rolling her eyes, she suddenly sat up.
There is thick grass all around, which is so unfamiliar.
Aren't I in the big kitchen backyard?
Where is this?
When she raised her eyes, she saw the familiar yet unfamiliar Granny Ding looking at her with a smile.
What is familiar is that old face covered with orange peel.
What makes Liu Chuer feel even more strange is...
The old woman's back was no longer hunched over, and her walking stick was half unscrewed.
A section of the snow is exposed.
She had heard Shen Lin chatting in the past.
Some martial arts masters will hide swords in their crutches.
Obviously, Granny Ding is such a hidden master.
You made a mistake!
"Police Ding? You are not Po Ding, who...are you?"
Liu Chuer was still very panicked.
She didn't think that the martial arts she had learned for several months would be put to use.
"This...where is this?"
"You...what are you going to do?"
The old woman Jiejie smiled strangely and said: "Me? Of course it's Granny Ding!"
"Don't be afraid, girl, I don't want to do anything to you."
"We just want to get something from your husband-in-law."
"Be good and make sure you don't lose any of your tender skin."
Liu Chuer put her hands on the ground and pulled away a little in panic.
"You...what do you want?"
Granny Ding smiled and said: "Nothing, I just want your family's skills in smelting refined iron."
"Come, say hello to your husband-in-law."
