"Lord Wang...... Why such a strange request? Wang Cheng looked puzzled. Fastest updates

Li Hao smacked his lips and said: "This kind of sword created by this king is intended to be sold to the Japanese people, you also know that the Japanese people worship the swords of our Tang Dynasty, but they are short in stature, our Tang knife is too heavy, and they don't take advantage of it, so this king tailor-made this kind of sword for them." ”

"I see!" Wang Cheng suddenly said when he heard this, "The prince is really thoughtful, the blade of this kind of knife is lighter, and the arc is increased, which is more convenient for chopping, and it is indeed suitable for the use of the short Japanese people, I believe that the Japanese people will like it very much, as for the prince to make such a request, he must be afraid that they will use this knife to deal with our Datang, right?" ”

"You've got a good brain." Li Hao smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, you can tell this king, can you do it." ”

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Back to the prince, yes, I don't know where the prince plans to do his hands and feet on the blade?" ”

Li Hao took back the drawing from his hand, used a pencil to make a stroke on the knife with the handle ten centimeters upwards, and said, "Here, three inches." After speaking, he handed the drawings to Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng took the drawings and looked at them, nodded and said, "The villain will definitely live up to the trust of the prince." ”

Li Hao happily asked, "How long does it take to make a sample?" ”

Wang Chengdao: "Soon, tomorrow will be fine." ”

"So fast?" Li Hao asked in surprise with a glare.

Wang Cheng smiled and said: "Lord Wang, with this metallurgical method you provided, if you want to forge a blade, it will naturally be fast, even if you want a hundred handles, it will be good tomorrow." ”

Li Hao said happily: "Then get ten handles out first, and the king of tomorrow will personally test it, so hurry up." ”

"Yes! The villain retires! ”

As soon as he thought that he was about to be able to pit the Japanese country, Li Hao felt inexplicably excited, excited...... I didn't sleep well all night.

Early the next morning, Wang Cheng came with two young blacksmiths, each holding five knives in their arms.

Li Hao met them in the courtyard, Wang Cheng smiled and said: "Lord Wang, the ten knives you want are all ready, because it takes more time to make a beautiful scabbard, so we only made the blade and handle." ”

"Well, it's okay, the scabbard doesn't matter." Li Hao took a knife from a young blacksmith, only to see that the knife was wrapped in a thick cloth, Li Hao took the cloth away, and suddenly revealed the exquisite blade, the neat row of quenching lines, it is indeed very beautiful, it looks like it makes people feel cold down the spine, in a word, it looks very good.

Li Hao pointed to the place where the handle of the knife was ten centimeters upwards and asked, "Wang Cheng, is the vulnerable point here?" ”

"Back to the prince, yes." Wang Cheng said with a slight expression, "Lord Wang, this vulnerable point is specially made, it does not affect the chopping, and it will only break if it is vigorously hit from the side of the blade." ”

"So amazing?" Li Hao was a little surprised when he heard this, if that was the case, this skill was indeed very clever, so he turned his eyes and looked around, and saw the small jujube tree with thick arms in the courtyard, and cut it when he went up.

"The prince can't! This knife has not yet been cut! Wang Cheng shouted anxiously, for fear that he would hurt his wrist or arm, but it was still too late, and Li Hao had already cut it down.

"Click", the jujube tree broke in response, Wang Cheng and the two young craftsmen were stunned, what kind of strange power is this, with an unbladed knife can cut off the jujube tree with a thick arm, that is the jujube tree, the jujube wood is very strong.

In their stunned eyes, Li Hao swung his knife sideways to hit the jujube tree again, and it happened that the blade of the knife with the handle ten centimeters upwards hit the jujube tree, and with a crisp sound, the knife was immediately broken into two.

Li Hao's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he walked back with a happy smile, and praised happily: "Good! Good! Good craftsmanship! Master Wang is really good! Hahaha! ”

Wang Cheng said with a dry smile: "The prince has won the award, and the small skills of carving insects are not enough to worry about." ”

"How can this be a small skill of carving insects." Li Hao waved his hand and said, "This king will inform Lu Yun and let him reward you heavily." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" The three of them saluted happily when they heard this.

Li Hao said: "All are exempt, Wang Cheng, within half a month, build this kind of knife with hands and feet 5,000 handles, remember, this king wants a beautiful finished product, the kind that looks very good, and it must be sharpened, if you do it well, you will have a heavy reward, not only you, all blacksmiths will be rewarded!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Cheng excitedly received the order.

Sent Wang Cheng away, Li Hao called Lu Yun again, and asked him to start preparing for going to sea, going to Lingnan Road to buy a large number of materials, especially rice, rice to buy old rice, because he couldn't wait to go to the Wa Guo pit money, Chen rice, should be sold to the Wa people, and it is ten times the price and twenty times, feed them, provide them with weapons, and then fight the civil strife.

Ten big ships went to sea, went to Quanzhou seaport, and then Lu Yun led people around to buy rice, new rice is not wanted, as long as old rice, because it is cheap, last year's Datang harvest, and with Zhenguan rice, now Lingnan Road is not short of rice, the price of rice has been lowered, and the old rice is even more unwanted, half buy and half give.

Lu Yun quickly purchased 100,000 stone of rice, bought some porcelain by the way, and filled all ten big ships, and then returned to Liuqiu, and when he returned to Liuqiu, the five thousand Taidao had already been prepared.

Wang Guoran according to Li Hao's requirements, the knife was sharpened, from the handle to the blade are exquisite, the scabbard is even more exquisite, although the wood is ordinary, but they are carved with exquisite patterns, and they are also lacquered, it looks like a handicraft, and there is absolutely nothing to say about the appearance.

It happened that there were three more large Galen ships in the shipyard, and Li Hao immediately ordered, together with the three new Galen ships, a total of thirteen ships, to go to sea and go to the Wa Kingdom.

After three days of preparation, all the supplies were loaded, Li Hao took 1,500 newly trained Xuanjia troops to sea, because the wind direction was not very good, the speed of the ship was not fast, fortunately there were no major winds and waves along the way, two months later, Li Hao and their fleet successfully reached the island.

Li Hao's place where they landed on the island was relatively desolate, and there was not even a fishing village, but it didn't matter, Li Hao quickly determined his location, and then released the flying pigeon and sent a message to the god stick Liu.

Five days later, someone came, it was the two brothers Wang Shi and Wang Lei who were sent by Li Hao to protect the god stick Liu, these two guys are also special forces.

Li Hao inquired with them and learned about the current situation of the Wa Kingdom, the current power of the Wa Kingdom is the Emperor Ji, this is not an ordinary emperor, this is the first female emperor in the history of the Wa Kingdom, yes, she is the same as Wu Zetian, she is a female emperor, and the method is also very similar, first to be the queen, and then to be the emperor, the Emperor Huang Ji ascended the throne as a woman, naturally some people will not be convinced, after all, the status of the women of the Wa Kingdom is humble, worse than the Tang Dynasty, so there have always been people who oppose it.

In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Huang Ji ascended the throne, coinciding with the great drought of the Wa Kingdom, rumors began to spread in the country, saying that the Emperor Huang Ji ascended the throne, the heavens were angry, and did not descend, for a time, there were voices against the Emperor Huang Ji everywhere, although the Wa Kingdom was a barbarian, but it was very talented to learn the Tang Dynasty gods and ghosts.

Just when the emperor was most helpless, the god stick Liu came to the Wa Kingdom, Li Hao specially studied the history of the Wa Kingdom, and also knew that the Wa Kingdom would be dry this year, so let the Shen Stick Liu lay his position in the hearts of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom and the people of the Wa Kingdom by asking for rain, and the debut method was very similar to Li Hao's debut method, which was to control natural disasters.

Historical records, A.D. 642, August 1, Emperor Huangji prayed to the sky for rain, thunder, heavy rain poured, for five days in a row, after the stick arrived in the Wa Kingdom, Liu went to meet Emperor Huangji, made a promise to ask for rain, and begged for rain on that day, Liu dozed off on the rain platform for a long time, and then the rain really came, so the god stick Liu was awesome, and was regarded as a guest by Emperor Huangji.

Next, the god stick Liu helped the Emperor Ji to point out a few silver mines casually, and the Emperor Huang Ji immediately enshrined the god stick Liu as a god and named him a national teacher, with a transcendent status.

Although the god stick Liu begged and quelled the rumors, there are still many voices against the Emperor Huang Ji in the country, and there are some forces that secretly assemble and specialize in sabotage, and sometimes attack the government, rob the silver mine, or the silver dug out of the silver mine, although it is a small fight, but it also makes the Emperor Huang Ji very headache, the silver mine has been mined so far, there have been a lot of silver robberies, and there are some side silver mines because of the attacks of those people, miners are killed every day, and they have to give up mining, and giving up mining is also purposeful, Emperor Huangji wanted to take advantage of the rebel forces to kill them while they were mining silver mines, this trick is called "if you want to take it, you must give it first", but those rebel forces thieves and thieves can get the news in advance every time and flee far away.

This is the credit of Wang Shi and Wang Lei's brothers, they reported to these rebel forces in advance, and they don't need to meet with these rebel forces, just throw a dart and clip a note, and they can achieve their goal.

The goal of Li Hao's trade this time is the rebel forces, he wants to make these rebel forces stronger, and let the entire Wa country be in chaos, the more chaotic the better.

So Li Hao and the others got on the boat again, sailed north along Waguo Island for another three days, and came to the north of Waguo to land, which was another deserted place, but after two days of ashore, they found those rebel forces.

Those rebel forces were a little shocked, they had always been hiding very tightly, and even the Emperor Emperor couldn't find where they were, but now they were actually found by a group of merchants from the Tang Dynasty, could they not be shocked.

In fact, this is not a matter at all for Wang Shi and Wang Lei, who are special forces, they have already secretly made this group of rebel forces clear according to Li Hao's request.

The leader of this group of rebel forces is called Aoki Shinbei, and he is a very cautious person, after all, they are traitors, and they live a life of licking blood from the knife edge, so it is not okay to be cautious.

This time, it was Wang Shi and Wang Lei who were in charge of connecting with Aoki Shinbei, and when he heard Wang Shi say that there was a merchant fleet of the Tang Dynasty that wanted to sell supplies to them, he was moved, but his cautious personality made him not agree immediately.

Wang Shi then threw out an even greater temptation, the Datang caravan could also sell weapons to him, very sophisticated weapons, Aoki Shinbei was shocked when he heard this, he didn't believe it, how could a merchant sell weapons.

Then Wang Shi and Wang Lei showed the ten knives they brought to Aoki Shinbei, and when Aoki Shinbei saw such a delicate and sharp knife, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't put it down, so he pulled it out in his hand, and after waving it left and right a few times, he slashed it on the coffee table, and the wooden coffee table was suddenly cut off a corner, and the incision was neat as a mirror.

Aoki Shinbei suddenly breathed quickly with excitement: "Good knife!" It's a treasure sword! Where are the merchants of Datang? ”
