"Bah!" Niu Er spat on Jiang Zhengcheng's face: "Are you worthy of being greeted by our young man in person?"
"I treated you like a dish before, just to give you some face, but I didn't expect you to dare to hit me on the nose. Now I don't treat you like a dish. What can you do, old man? Get out of here!"
Jiang Zhengcheng looked at Lu Xu, who was still unresponsive, and he could only yell bitterly: "Lu Xu, today's work is not over yet. Steel is not enough to make weapons. I want to see, without us
The old blacksmith helps, who do you want to make weapons for you?"
After saying that, Jiang Zhengcheng took his still wailing son and strode away.
Today's duel with Jiang Zhengcheng can be said to be a huge defeat. Not only did he lose to Lu Xu in terms of skills. More importantly, he was exposed in front of everyone that he did not dare to face Lu Xu's knife.
It was also because of his failures in these two aspects that he could no longer win the support of all craftsmen.
From then on, he was at an absolute disadvantage in the competition with Lu Xu.
But as he said, steel is not enough to make weapons. Can Lu Xu's half-grown men alone be able to make weapons?
The answer is of course no!
In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Xu asked Han Yidou this question. Han Yidou was the son of the sixth son, and the oldest among all the half-year-olds. The sixth son's surname was Han, and his first name was Han Laoliu.
After Han Laoliu gave birth to his son, he hoped that his son would be able to earn a salary of one dou in the future, so he named his son Han Yidou.
Faced with Lu Xu's question, Han Yidou was also unsure: "I'm afraid not. Most of us have just begun to learn the craftsmanship. We can still do ordinary work. But the delicate work of making weapons,
We really can’t do it anymore.”
Lu Xu nodded and said, "You try your best. If you do well, it's your fault. If you don't, it's mine."
Han Yidou was very moved. He thought that Lu Xu consciously wanted to train young craftsmen like them, so he left with great gratitude.
As soon as Han Yidou left, Niu Er asked hesitantly: "Xiao Langjun, are you really betting all your money on them?"
Lu Xu nodded and shook his head: "It can't be counted, right?"
As he said that, Lu Xu looked at Niu Er with a complicated expression and said: "I think you also know that if the Beiting Khanate goes south again, we, the dozens of brothers in Wei'an Fort, will never be able to defend Wei'an Fort.
.”
"At that time, we can only have a chance of survival if all the people join the army. This means that our equipment in Wei'anbao cannot be precious goods carefully crafted by masters, but equipment that is of high quality and can be produced quickly."
"With our high-quality steel as the base, the quality of the weapons made by those brats will not be any lower. The rest is just to let more people master the method of making weapons."
Niu Er nodded and somewhat understood what Lu Xu meant, but he was still a little worried. Fortunately, Lu Xu gave him another reassurance: "Not to mention, I have better treasures that can help these brats.
Build weapons faster and better, don’t worry, I won’t joke about it.”
Hearing what Lu Xu said, Niu Er was completely relieved.
On the other side, after learning that Jiang Zhengcheng and the entire Jiang family had lost to Lu Xu, the blacksmiths in Wei'anbao became active.
However, the blacksmiths did not act rashly because of this, because what Jiang Zhengcheng said at the end was actually very reasonable. Everyone believed that Lu Xu would definitely need a skilled master, so he would not be able to bypass the Jiang family no matter what.
So although Lu Xu hit Jiang Zhengcheng hard in the face this time, it still hasn't shaken Jiang Zhengcheng's foundation.
But this time, everyone no longer thinks that Jiang Zhengcheng will definitely win. Even if reason tells everyone that Jiang Zhengcheng is right, people who have begun to accept that Lu Xu is outstanding begin to doubt whether Lu Xu can bypass the old masters and build a good
How to use weapons?
In any case, because the Jiang family was brutally killed by Lu Xu, the entire Wei'an Fort seemed much calmer.
This kind of calmness also attracted the attention of many interested people, one of whom was the leader of the bandits who once showed his face in front of the army and the craftsmen of Wei'an Fort - Zhe Zhe Tian.
No one knows the name of Zhezhetian. Everyone only knows that his name on the Green Forest Road is Zhezhetian.
This guy is considered a new kid on the Green Forest Road. He only became a bandit after the Beiting Khanate invaded Qinfeng Road.
However, Zhe Zhe Tian's power developed rapidly, and in less than a year, his village had developed into a large village with more than a hundred brothers.
Not only that, it is rumored that Zhe Zhe Tian was born in the military, and some of his subordinates also served as soldiers. With these people as the core strength, Zhe Zhe Tian's team has extremely strong combat effectiveness.
But even this group of bandits has encountered troublesome problems recently, namely - Lu Xu and Wei'anbao.
On this day, Zhe Tianzheng and his men shared a leg of cow.
Suddenly, one of his men hurried in from outside and said to Zhe Zhetian: "Master, I have found out the news clearly. That Lu Xu is indeed quite capable. The Jiang family actually let him suppress him.
, now the entire Jiang family is as well-behaved as a quail."
Hearing what his subordinates said, Zhe Zhetian instinctively felt an angry emotion.
This emotion comes from his hatred for Lu Xu. Whenever he thinks of this man, he always feels a piercing pain and an anger that makes him want to eat his flesh!
Not long ago, he received news from Lu Xu. Knowing that Lu Xu was in Wei'an Fort, the fire of hatred in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
But when he knew that Lu Xu was able to gain a foothold in Wei'an Fort because he repaired the wall of Wei'an Fort, he knew that Lu Xu was not that easy to deal with now.
But he also knew that it would be hard to say whether Lu Xu could live a good life after the craftsmen came in.
However, what he didn't expect was that just a few days after the Jiang family entered Wei'an Fort, they would be restrained by Lu Xu.
Just when he had a headache, one of his minions asked: "Master, with that Wei'an Fort lying across our territory, our 'business' will definitely be greatly affected. We have to
Find a way to solve this problem before the situation in Wei'anbao becomes completely tense."
These words are exactly what Zhe Zhetian is thinking!
At the same time, the younger brother also reminded Zhe Zhetian that even if his personal enmity with Lu Xu was not counted, Lu Xu, an officer and soldier, also had an enemy relationship with the bandits.
Thinking of this, a smile actually appeared on his face, and he said: "Our business is not the only one affected. There are so many copycats around, no one is threatened by Wei'an Fort.
"
"Since this matter is not our family's business, then of course we have to discuss it and resolve it. Go, hurry up and make preparations for me. I will send out hero posts widely and summon the heroes on the surrounding green forest roads to attack Wei'an Fort together!"
