It's hard to see in your hand, but once you ride on a horse, this thing can give you the illusion that you are one with the body and body of the horse!

Niu Tong turned over and dismounted, handed the hook in his hand to a craftsman who didn't look very strong, and said to him with a smile: "You can try it!"

The craftsman seemed to be a little stunned, and pointed to his chest: "Me?" Niu Tong had already walked to Xuanbao's side with a smile, and stood silently looking at him.

What are you afraid of, at most, it's just a little face, and losing face in front of the emperor is equivalent to showing your face, and you don't suffer at all! The skinny craftsman is one of the nine apprentices who came out of the enchantment with Niu Tong, and he is best at design rather than hard work, and the shape of this hook has his credit.

But since the master asked him to try, he didn't talk nonsense, he got on the war horse with the hook, and just wanted to rush over, but Niu Tong suddenly stretched out his hand to stop, and said to the person next to him: "Tie the three pieces of cowhide together! Xiaohe, you must sit firmly, understand? I'll put some vegetable oil on the hook for you, don't be afraid, don't let go, otherwise you will be hurt!"

"I believe in Master!" Xiaohe replied very simply, holding the hook and tying it to his wrist with the cloth strap that Niu Tong had just tied his hand to.

Waiting for the cooked cowhide to be tied to a wooden stake, Xiaohe carried the hook, bowed slightly, almost lying on the horse's back, and then waited until Niu Tong waved his hand, he rushed out with his legs between the horse's belly!

When approaching the stake, Xuan Bao saw that he first raised the hook, then slashed heavily on the stake, and then pulled the hook as the war horse rushed forward, cut into the stake, and then used the curved blade of the hook to bring the body around, and with a "swish", the stake wrapped in three layers of cooked cowhide was broken in two!

This time, the shock in everyone's hearts was even greater, it is not surprising that the master can cut the stake, that Xiaohe is a little thin monkey, how can he have so much strength? It seems that this is not a matter of strength, but the advantage of weapons!

Looking at the hook again, Xuanbao found that the design of the entire hook is exquisite, in fact, there are traces of sawtooth grass, not counting the big hook, in the back of the side blade, there is also a row of thin teeth near the big hook, which is finer than the ones designed on the knife just now, it looks very inconspicuous, but it is quite domineering to use.

Niu Tong took the hook handed over by Xiaohe, nodded and said: "Xiaohe is very smart, I understand how I used the hook just now! First cut the hook blade into the enemy's body, no matter which part it is, and then use the sawtooth to cut off his muscles and bones, and finally use the hook to cut off this part of the body, which is the most convenient to use to cut off the head! But we must pay attention to one point, that is, we must unite people and horses, and use the momentum of the war horse, even if it is really a brute bull, it can easily cut off its head!"

With this sharp weapon, there is no need to be afraid of whether those corpse soldiers will bow their heads or tilt their heads! No matter how powerful the corpse soldiers' muscles are, can they be sturdy over three jujube stakes wrapped in cooked cowhide?

"With the current materials, how many hooks can be forged?" asked Xuanbao eagerly looking at Niu Tong.

Niu Tong pondered for a moment, looked up at Xuanbao and said, "About five thousand!"

Five thousand hooks are a drop in the bucket for 150,000 Xuan soldiers! But it's better than nothing! Xuanbao nodded and said to Niu Tong: "You guys work hard, stop the manufacturing first, and hurry up to make the hooks! I'm arranging an enchantment here, and I'm going to take it away tonight!"

"Okay, no problem! But if these 5,000 hooks are made, our Ordnance Bureau may have its inventory empty, and we can only wait for the mine to transport ore again, and we will probably stop working for about a month!"

As soon as the ore was mentioned, Xuan Baole patted Niu Tong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we have iron ore!

First, set up a time barrier on the side of the forge, and let Niu Tong's apprentices make a mold for the Xuan Hook according to the specimen they had already made, and Xuan Bao took Niu Tong to prepare to enter the original realm.

Niu Tong didn't come in by himself, he also brought four apprentices, the names are all interesting, Xiaohe was known earlier, and there are Xiaojiang, Xiaohu, and Xiaohai behind, and they are all surnamed Niu!

"These are your family?" Xuan Bao was a little stunned, he had never heard of Niu Tong and his family.

Without Niu Tong answering, Niu Hai smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, we are all orphans, if we hadn't been taken in by the master, we would have starved to death! The master gave us food, taught us skills, and gave us names and surnames, if it weren't for the fact that he was young and similar to us, I would have called him father a year ago!"

"Hahaha!" everyone laughed, and Xuanbao laughed too. Niu Tong kicked him lightly and severely, and scolded with a smile in his mouth: "I don't have a daughter-in-law, and I don't have a son as big as you!"

Xuan Bao also saw that these guys were Niu Tong's closed disciples! The relationship between the five of them was very good, and it was obviously different from other apprentices.

Niu Tong followed Xuanbao at the foot of Gaosuo Mountain, and said to Xuanbao: "I have been looking for mines in the south of the Yangtze River before, and there are some homeless people living in many abandoned mining areas. ”

Turning his head, he pointed to the apprentices who were observing at the foot of the mountain and said, "Xiaohe, you have seen, this kid has a talent for designing shapes, Xiaohu is a master in smelting, what kind of stove to choose and what kind of firewood, he is an expert." Xiao Hai has attainments in forging, and the fire is well controlled, but if you want to beneficiate, you have to look at Xiao Jiang, he is the real expert in this area!"

Xuanbao nodded, he knew that Niu Tong had the ability, and the apprentices recruited were definitely not mediocre hands, he didn't understand these aspects, and he wouldn't pretend to understand, so he left it to Niu Tong to deal with it!

"I found it, it's a big mine, this kid has this virtue as soon as he moves to a big mine!" Niu Tong looked at Xiao Jiang, who knew how to giggle when he stood on the mountainside like a fool and didn't do anything, and shook his head with a smile.

That is, when he was with Xuanbao and Long Jiao, he only talked a little more, usually in front of apprentices and craftsmen, he was a person who did not smile, because he was a mute before, and then he was cured by Xiao Yin, who was dressed as a god's mother-in-law, but he did not become a person who talked much.

There were only two of the three remnant kings of heaven and earth left, and the right arm of the dragon horn became the unicorn arm, and Niu Tong's aphasia had also been cured, but unfortunately the second Chai Yu left them forever.

In Niu Tong's eyes, although Xuanbao has become the emperor today, he has never put a shelf for him, and what he was like when he first saw him in Rooster Ridge has not changed now.

Of course, this kind of look is attitude, not temperament. In terms of temperament, Xuanbao is too mature now compared to the youth of the year, but in front of Niu Tong, he is still the easy-going and kind-hearted teenager.

If it weren't for Xuanbao, maybe Chai Yu wouldn't have died so early, but the three brothers would never have lived to this day! Long Jiao would not be the generalissimo of the Xuan Army, and he would not have become the weapons supervisor of the Xuan Dynasty!

Gratitude to Xuanbao, so that Mu Ne's Niu Tong is not good at words, but he repays him with really hard work, anyway, there is a dragon horn for him to open the spirit, and it is not like a heavenly soldier who directly enters the realm of the elixir, but a step-by-step condensation pill from the qi tire, step by step to advance to cultivation, his body is not afraid of heavy work, so he really works like a desperate San Lang, leaving no effort!

Walking in front of Xiao Jiang, Niu Tong slapped him on the head, laughed and scolded: "You don't need to be so happy to be happy, right?

"I really found a treasure!" Xiao Jiang's face was full of redness, his excited eyes were wrinkled and shining, he looked at Niu Tong and said: "Master, we are really guarding a cornucopia this time, let's just move the Weapons Bureau here in the future, we have endless iron ore!"

Xuan Bao smiled and said to Xiao Jiang: "No matter how much there is, there will be a time when it will run out! Outside, we have already tasted the consequences of indiscriminate mining, and now there are not many mines left in the Central Plains! The resources in this original realm must be exploited in a planned manner, and we cannot only think of ourselves and ignore future generations!"

Listening to Xuanbao's words, Xiao Jiang also looked ashamed, bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your teachings!" He is an expert in this area, and he naturally knows what kind of resource state the Central Plains is now, maybe it is not that it is already poor, but with the current mining technology, even if there is ore, it cannot be mined.

Although there are still a few iron ore veins, what about a hundred years from now? His descendants will have no knives to use! Xiao Jiang's father once told him that it is taboo to open a mine and that the ultimate purpose of mining is to benefit future generations, not to cut off the way of life for future generations!

Xuan Bao patted him on the shoulder and said, "But you said that you want to build an ordnance bureau here, I think this idea is feasible, but it can't be completed in the near future, not because of the war, but because I haven't dealt with those waste water and waste materials yet!"

The Primordial Realm is a world that has not been polluted, pure and free of impurities. Xuan Bao had seen the mines and smelting ruins that had been mined in the Central Plains, and the pungent smell of the river and the large barren grassland almost made people feel that it was a dead land, no different from the inner wilderness!

Once the mine is opened in the Origin Realm, will this place become like that? Xuanbao is not sure, so Xuanbao will not let this kind of thing happen until there are enough means of control, but just give Niu Tong and them a reassurance, don't worry that the Armory Bureau will have no work to open in the future!

Xiaohe said a little depressedly: "Your Majesty, in this way, we are tantamount to guarding a golden mountain to ask for food! These things can be seen and eaten, and it is even more uncomfortable!"

Long Jiao slapped him unceremoniously, and Xuan Bao laughed and said: "No! You can't open a mine in the original realm, it doesn't mean that you can't go outside! When you find a suitable location, I will send the ore out! Don't worry, my goal is to build the Xuan Army into the strongest force in the Bailuan Continent, and you are the main founder, there must be a chance for you to show your talents!"

"Okay!" Niu Tong's four apprentices all widened their eyes excitedly, clenched their fists and shouted!

Coming out of the original realm, Niu Tong took his apprentices directly into the enchantment of the forge field. Three hours later, Xuanbao removed the time barrier, and what appeared in front of him was a pile of freshly forged hooks and a group of craftsmen who had been busy for three months, all lying on the ground at the moment, snoring and sleeping!

Five thousand hooks were all sent into the original realm, Xiaohe also made a set of reinforced shots on the hook handle, only need to pull the brown rope when grabbing the hook handle, it can be firmly tied with the user's right hand, this small design seems not big, but it is very useful, so that Xuanbao is once again impressed by Xiaohe's mind!
