Chapter 546 A Thousand Golden Weapons
The meat in the casserole was already stewed badly, and a pair of brothers with different surnames who were extremely incongruous in age quickly drank the wine in the jar, and new cordyceps wine was served.
"Xiaoshui, you only need to stay here for three or five days, stay at home, and leave the rest to me." After Guan Mu and Han Moyi married Jin Lan, they were in a good mood and said with a smile: "If you don't leave, the suspicion of the people of the Wind Country about us will be greatly reduced...... At least they don't think that you alone can rescue the tightly guarded prisoners from the Sacred Mountain Castle. After a pause, he smiled lightly: "Even if someone suspects, they don't dare to really publicize this matter......
Han Mo frowned, "Don't dare to show off?" ”
Guan Mu laughed in a low voice: "Think about it, the person you rescued is inside the altar, and he is still heavily guarded, to exaggerate, even if it is extremely difficult to bring out a fly from there, let alone rescue a person... Your clever plan to get that man out is incredible to you, but to the guards, it's an earth-shattering thing. Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on it, but someone rescued someone from under their noses...... If you were a guard there, would you like to admit that the prisoner was rescued? ”
Han Mo narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully, and soon, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Such a great shame, no matter whether they are rescued or not, the people of the Wind Country dare not be too public." Guan Mu chuckled and said, "Once this matter spreads, from top to bottom, it will be a shameless thing. The elite of the Wind Country, in the Wind Country Altar, they can't even look at a prisoner, they must be ashamed to mention this matter, let alone be known by outsiders, so ...... Even if they found out that the prisoner was missing, they would not dare to investigate it in a big way, it was nothing more than a secret investigation...... And in my opinion, the guards will try to clear themselves of the guilt of being poorly guarded, and I am afraid that they will have to create some reason to exonerate themselves......"
Han Mo understood the key to it, smiled and nodded: "Yes, they really don't dare to publicize this matter... When the time comes, if it doesn't get it right, and even the news of the disappearance of the snake god spreads, the consequences will be very bad. If the people of the Wind Country knew that the group of people in Shenshan City did not even protect the snake god...... I'm afraid I'm going to roll off the chieftain's throne."
Guan Mu smiled and said, "After all, even if the people of the Wind Country know that you were in the altar on the day of the incident, they will never believe that you did it. I think they would rather believe that it was the gods who appeared and took the prisoners away than that you alone rescued the prisoners......" shook his head and sighed with a wry smile: "To be honest, it is me, and it is difficult to believe that you designed to rescue the prisoner...... If I hadn't known about it, but someone else had told me, I wouldn't have believed it... Alone in Longtan Tiger's Den, clever tricks...... Xiaoshui, I won't tell you anything, when I first saw you, the old man also felt that you had some means, but you were so generous...... The old man can't think of it in any way, the future life is terrifying, this word is honest and does not deceive people" Stared at Han Mo and smiled: "Although this is the case, if you don't stay this time, even if they don't believe that you did it, they will also pay attention to my trading house...... Being targeted by the people of the Wind Country, that is a very troublesome thing. But now that you are staying, the people of the Wind Country will not believe that you did it, so I just need to make some more silver out of it, and I think this time the limelight can be avoided......"
Han Mo put down the wine jar and arched his hand: "Everything will be the shopkeeper of Laoda."
Guan Mu's face pretended to sink, and said, "What do you call me?" ”
"Everything has Brother Lao" Han Mo said respectfully, crying and laughing in his heart, he just felt that calling this old man "big brother" was really a bit nondescript...
Guan Mu laughed at this time.
Han Mo groaned slightly, glanced at Guan Mu, and then said softly: "Big brother, little brother has something I want to ask ...... big brother now."
"But it doesn't hurt to say"
Han Mo smiled and said, "Big brother, do you know about the Fengqiao crossbow?" ”
Guan Mu's eyes flashed with a light, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stared at Han Mo and said, "The Fengqiao crossbow can be regarded as a rare sharp weapon in the world, produced in the ...... of the Wind Country" After a pause, he asked with a smile: "When did Xiao Shui become interested in the Fengqiao crossbow?" ”
Han Mo said: "Don't hide it from my eldest brother, this clever crossbow, I have already seen it... Marveling at its power, I would love to know its ins and outs. ”
Guan Mu nodded slightly, lifted the wine jar, took a sip with Han Mo, and then said slowly: "The Fengqiao crossbow is a weapon that only appeared two years ago, and it originated from the ...... of Heimu Village."
When Han Mo heard this, he frowned, but now he knew that Hei Mu Village was Hei Mudi's hometown, and it turned out that this Fengqiao crossbow was from Hei Mudi's territory.
"I don't really understand what that is. I just heard that there was a craftsman in the black wood village, who was obsessed with arrows and crossbows, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, but he developed a Fengqiao crossbow. Guan Mu said slowly: "As soon as the Fengqiao crossbow came out, the power was amazing, and it was used to hunt prey, and it didn't take much archery to return, and it was a joy to be able to return with a full load. . . . ”
Han Mo put down the wine jar, stared at Guan Mu, and listened carefully.
Guan Mu sighed and said, "But in this world, there is really no perfect thing. The power of the crossbow is amazing, but the process of making it is extremely complicated, and it is ...... As far as I know, there must be a kind of snake willow vine placed in the wind crossbow bamboo pipe, otherwise the crossbow arrow will not be fired, and the snake willow vine is only owned by the wind country, although the wind country is like a cloud, and there are many kinds of exotic flowers and plants, but this snake willow vine is extremely rare, and it is extremely difficult to survive...... The process of making a Fengqiao crossbow is complicated, and although there are many craftsmen trained in the Wind Country today, if you want to make one successfully, you often have to pay several costs......"
Han Mo frowned, obviously a little incomprehensible.
Guan Mu stretched out a palm and said: "In other words, the best production artist has made five Fengqiao crossbows, but only one can pass the test in the end, and it has four pieces, that is a waste, and it doesn't hurt to waste bamboo, the key is to make a failed Fengqiao crossbow, that is, even the snake willow vine inside has been destroyed and can no longer be used...... Xiaoshui, think about it yourself, is such a weapon extremely rare? ”
Han Mo bowed slightly, although he also had a hunch that the Fengqiao crossbow was by no means easy to make, but it was so difficult, it was still beyond his expectations...
Guan Mu immediately smiled and said: "Fortunately, such weapons can't be made in large quantities, otherwise the people of the Wind Country can fight the Wind Country and conquer the city with only this kind of Feng Qiao crossbow." When this weapon is put on the battlefield, it is extremely sharp and hard to resist."
Han Mo touched his chin and said, "What does the eldest brother mean, this is a clever crossbow...... Even in the Windy Country, it's not very much? ”
Guan Mu nodded and said, "Not bad... This kind of weapon is too lethal, and Kinyama City has also issued an order to prohibit ordinary people from using it, and now only the wind warriors of Kinyama City can use this weapon openly...... Of course, the Black Snake Crowd and the White Snake Crowd are also equipped with such weapons, and in addition, they are nothing more than the local officials of the major villages...... Hmm, that is, the guards around the heads of the major village owners can be equipped with this kind of weapon......"
"So, this folk ...... Isn't there no wind crossbow in circulation? ”
Guan Mu said with a smile: "It is officially forbidden, at least on the bright side, the Fengqiao crossbow is not allowed to be used by ordinary people." But the nobles of the Wind Country, there are more or less treasures, and the number is not much" stroked the beard and said: "But because of its scarcity in number, this Fengqiao crossbow is extremely powerful, even in the Wind Country, it is worth a lot, let alone shipped out of the Wind Country for sale... ”
"How much silver is that Fengqiao crossbow worth?"
"It's not that I mean to exaggerate, but now that clever crossbow can be regarded as priceless." Guan Mu said softly: "Many people want to buy it, but there is no place to buy it, and now a Fengqiao crossbow does not have fifty taels of silver, which is categorically impossible to take...... It's just that even if you pay this price, you may not be able to buy it."
Han Mo opened his mouth wide.
Fifty taels of silver is naturally a piece of cake for Han Mo, but if calculated according to the normal market price, it would be sensational for an arrow and crossbow weapon to be sold at such a price.
Ten taels of silver is enough for a family of three for a year, and fifty taels of silver can support the living expenses of three or five families for a year, in other words, the value of a Fengqiao crossbow is enough for more than ten people to live for a year.
Of course, this is a terrible price, it is better to say that it is a weapon, it is better to say that it is a luxury...
As far as Han Mo knew, the arrows and crossbows used in the Imperial Forest Army were only about fifteen taels of silver per piece, and the arrows and crossbows were already considered to be relatively high-grade weapons in the Imperial Forest Army, and the ordinary one-stone military bow was only about five taels of silver.
This ingenious crossbow is really a noble weapon.
Now that I think about it, the hundred pieces of Fengqiao crossbows I got in the gossip trap of Yichun County are really a harvest that I can't ask for.
Seeing that Han Mo was silent, Guan Mu seemed to have guessed his thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "Xiaoshui, you ...... Do you want to get a batch of Fengqiao crossbows? ”
Han Mo smiled and didn't speak.
"Who doesn't want this kind of weapon?" Guan Mu sighed: "It's just that the Wind Country has rarely interacted with other countries, and not many people in other countries know about weapons like the Wind Crossbow. There are those who know, who understand that such weapons are rare and rare, and that will not reveal the tone...... Privately, there are people from other countries who come here to buy it, but if there is no way, they come with a large sum of silver, and they cannot even ask for a single piece. After a pause, he looked at Han Mo before he lifted the wine jug again, saluted Han Mo, raised his head and took a sip, and continued: "Actually, I don't have to hide it from you, after the development of this Fengqiao crossbow, I am also very interested, although it is rare, fortunately, I have been in the Wind Country for a long time, and there are some ways to ......."
Han Mo suddenly realized, "Big brother...... Has been secretly procuring this kind of weapon for Qingguo? ”
Guan Mu stroked his beard and smiled: "It's not a ...... To put it bluntly, it was to purchase such weapons for my Guan family. ”
Han Mo frowned slightly, but did not continue to ask.
"So be it...... From now on, every year I will secretly prepare a batch of Fengqiao crossbows for you. Guan Muhan said with a smile: "But I can't do it, and I can only raise more than a hundred pieces for you a year...... That's the best I can do."
Han Mo was stunned, but he didn't expect Guan Mu to take the initiative to prepare a Fengqiao crossbow for himself, so he immediately got up and saluted Guan Mu respectfully, but he didn't speak.
Sometimes, silent words are better than words
What Han Mo was thinking of now was the eight hundred wind cavalry under his command, if they were all equipped with extremely sharp wind crossbows, and when the time came, what kind of terrifying cavalry would it be
