Chapter 106 More like a gentleman than a gentleman
Hu Baozong stroked the blade reluctantly, his eyes filled with wonder.
He has a sword made of iron, but it is far less bright and eye-catching than this one. Not only is the pattern not as neat and elegant, but the blade is also covered with small pits, which cannot even illuminate a person's shadow, let alone a beard. p>
It’s nowhere near as light as this one, and it can be waved with one hand?
I just don’t know the pros and cons...
Seeing Hu Baozong looking around, Li Chengzhi knew that he wanted to try the knife. But there was no iron material for him to cut at the moment, so he thought for a moment, pulled out a hair and handed it over.
Hu Baozong was stunned.
Hair blowout?
Is this a legend? How can you have so much confidence?
Li Chengzhi didn't explain, he just raised his chin, meaning just let him try...
In fact, as long as the steel mouth is not too bad, an ordinary knife can achieve the level of blowing and breaking hair.
But why couldn’t the ancients do it?
This is back to the old problem: the steel mouth is not enough and we dare not open a thin blade.
Otherwise, once you cut a gap, the knife will become useless after just a few cuts.
Therefore, ancient sabers and even horizontal swords used by infantrymen all had blunt blades.
This is also the reason why Li Song and others were so shocked when Li Chengzhi cut through the iron with one sword and the edge of the sword was intact, while Hu Baozong just took the sword and thought it was just a fake.
Just thinking he was joking, Hu Baozong took it, put it on the edge of the blade, and blew gently...
The hair was immediately cut off at the waist!
Guo Cunxin and Hu Baozong were completely stunned?
Can you really blow it off?
As if he didn't believe in evil, Hu Baozong's eyes wandered around and he looked around twice but couldn't find a suitable place. He actually raised his hands upside down and thrust the knife down hard, inserting it into the crack of the green brick.
He knew that the injury was not easy to heal, so he did not dare to use too much force. But even so, the tip of the knife penetrated nearly half a foot.
Then hold the handle with both hands and push it back hard.
The nearly four-foot-long blade is curved like a bow...
Hu Baozong was stunned for a moment, and instinctively let go of the handle of the knife. The blade was like a bow string, quivering sharply and making a "buzzing" sound.
He had never seen a weapon with such high elasticity. His eyes almost popped out, and his mouth was whimpering, as if it was stuck.
After a while, he exclaimed: "The magic weapon..."
Li Chengzhi sighed secretly: In this era, he is not a magic weapon...
Hu Baozong turned his head sharply and looked at Li Chengzhi as if he were a god. The sparkle in his eyes was like that of an old bachelor in his forties or fifties who saw a naked goddess. He was so hot and hot: "You can actually forge an iron sword."
?"
What is the difference between this and Li Chengzhi’s magical skills?
Li Chengzhi's face was straight: "Let me say it again, this is not an iron knife... Just find a iron knife and cut it once and you will know..."
Hu Baozong took a breath of cold air: "Could it be sharper than an iron knife?"
Li Chengzhi nodded vigorously.
Guo Cunxin asked curiously: "If it's not iron, what kind of iron is it?"
"Meteorite!"
Li Chengzhi opened his mouth and came, "It was dug out from the bottom of the lake in the fort during the New Year... It was also a matter of luck. If it hadn't been for digging out the ice in the lake by sawing ice to build a wall, I wouldn't have known that such a magical object was hidden underneath.
Quite a few?"
Guo Cunxin stared at him with bulging eyes and almost spit a mouthful of saliva on his face?
Where did your lake come from? Do you think I don’t know?
In order to please your mother, your father dug it out for her to keep cool. It was originally a foot deep, but when his father found out, he gave it a furious scolding and filled it back half way...
If this thing really existed, it would have been dug out long ago. Can it still be left to you?
What are you dreaming about...
How could Guo Cunxin dare to expose him? He could only sulk: This nephew deceived his uncle without even blinking an eye?
But Hu Baozong actually believed it?
Not only did he believe it, his eyes turned red with jealousy: "How come my Hu family doesn't have such good things?"
As he spoke, he looked at the knife again, surprised and exclaimed: "No wonder it's sharp, tough, and so exquisite, that it's an extraterrestrial creature?"
Feeling that he was verbose, Li Chengzhi urged: "Just tell me how much it is worth, and is it enough to replace three war horses?"
"Three horses?"
Hu Baozong's face was full of surprise, and he instinctively stretched out his palm to make a gesture. As if he felt that it was not enough, he simply hesitated and spread his hands: "I will give you ten horses..."
This time it was Li Chengzhi's turn to be shocked.
Sure enough, he had come to the right place. Li Song's knowledge was not as broad as that of Hu Baozong, and he could not estimate the preciousness of this knife.
Seeing him stunned, thinking that Li Chengzhi wanted to raise the price, Hu Baozong suddenly sighed: "It may be a little less, but no matter how much it is, I won't be able to take it out for a while... But my matching knife only cost three taels of gold. This time
It's already tripled..."
Li Chengzhi exclaimed: "How much did you spend?"
"Three taels of gold?" Hu Baozong replied subconsciously, "Thirty kilograms of copper, or sixty shi of grain, can be exchanged for Rouran horses, which is only three..."
"Just three horses?"
Li Chengzhi asked suspiciously: "Why did Li Song say that his father's snowflake steel knife only cost ten kilograms of copper?"
"How is that possible?"
Hu Baozong was shocked and said: "Is Li Song drunk and confused? Even a hundred-refined sword costs ten kilograms of copper, let alone iron?"
Guo Cunxin sighed and explained: "I know a little bit about the origin of that sword... Your grandfather was the deputy general of Wuwei at that time. Persian Hu merchants not only had to pass through the town's military garrison, but also entered Guzang City to do business. How could it be possible?
No gift?
Duke Naizhi then asked for three iron knives, and it happened that your grandfather, uncle and your father each had one... How could such a sharp weapon be worth only ten pounds of copper? Your father must have fooled Li Song casually..."<
/p>
Just like you are fooling your uncle now... Guo Cunxin complained in his heart.
Li Chengzhi was ecstatic.
Ten horses in one hand, one hundred horses in one hand, one thousand horses in one hand...
If we give that big clan more strength, we might be able to equip thousands of iron cavalry...
"Why do you and I need to be so polite?" Li Chengzhi said angrily, waving his hand, "I'm giving this one to you..."
"Really?"
Hu Baozongxi's heart was trembling, and the hand holding the handle of the knife was shaking, but as soon as he pulled the knife out from the crack of the brick, he suddenly realized: Is Li Chengzhi so easy to take advantage of?
With a grimace on his face, he chewed the tobacco three or four times before gritting his teeth and asking, "What do you want me to do?"
Guo Cunxin almost laughed.
How much loss did Hu Baozong suffer from his nephew?
Li Chengzhi put his arm around Hu Baozong's neck and said with stern eyes: "I can forge at least a hundred of these knives. You can exchange them all for horses. If you can't exchange them for a thousand, eight hundred will do..."
Hu Baozong was shocked: "A hundred...a meteorite fell in your house?"
Why are you so lucky and why can’t I run into you?
Li Chengzhi couldn't laugh or cry: "That's iron, it's iron... A thousand pounds is only as big as a person..."
"Oh...oh..."
Hu Baozong was a little stunned, and was horrified for a moment. He had become so stupid?
With this experience and lesson, Hu Baozong no longer dared to pat his chest to make a guarantee. After pondering for a long time, he said: "I will set off at dawn tomorrow. I will first take a handful to show to my uncle, and then send a fast horse to report the news to you..."<
/p>
Gaopingzhen, Lu Gong?
Li Chengzhi's face was a little gloomy: "Can you not sell it to Rouran people?"
Hu Baozong laughed dumbly: "What are you thinking, Rouran can have a hundred kings of Khan? If not a king of Khan, who would be willing to exchange ten horses for a knife? Of course it will be sold to Luoyang...
Of course, I definitely can’t sell it that fast, so I can only discuss it with my uncle, hand the knife to him, and exchange the horse back first..."
"That's good!" Li Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing how solemn he was, Guo Cunxin and Hu Baozong were slightly shaken.
Why do you feel that when it comes to Hu people, Li Chengzhi is more like a gentleman than a gentleman?
If it were an ordinary person, it doesn't matter whether he is an enemy or not, why not defeat this group of thieves first?
