led 2,000 cavalry to the Western Regions, and Mo Xiaobai could feel how bad the environment in the Western Regions was along the way.

The wolfskin coat, which I thought was quite warm, didn't work much at all here. Coupled with the speed of galloping on horseback, the experience of the wind cutting like a knife is by no means an exaggeration and a joke.

Walking all the way until the evening, Mo Xiaobai ordered to stop and rest, and as soon as he turned over and dismounted, he saw Guo Jialeng shivering.

"Fengxiao, add this wolf coat again." took off the wolf skin coat on his body and handed it over, Mo Xiaobai didn't want Guo Jia to have a serious illness here.

"Jia is okay, my lord, your own body is important."

"Wear it, death will kill people, I will find Fei to practice their marksmanship, and it will not be cold when the fire is lit." Mo Xiaobai waved his hand, took out his spear from the Sumeru bag, beckoned to Li Guang, and began to train his spear skills in actual combat.

The cold wind forced Mo Xiaobai to concentrate highly in order to keep himself from the climate. And it is in this bad weather that he practices martial arts, and Mo Xiaobai's spear skills are gradually improving.

From the fact that Li Guang couldn't move half a step before, now he can officially live seven or eight moves with him. If you change to Zhang He and He Chun, you can even fight for more than ten rounds without falling behind.

Of course, this is all in the absence of the generals.

If Li Guang and the others exert all their strength, and the force value above 90 completely explodes, Mo Xiaobai will not be able to stop it for three seconds no matter how much his gun skills are improved.

After all, Mo Xiaobai's current level is still only level 26, and his force value is only over 50.

When the wisps of bonfire rose, Mo Xiaobai, who had been active for a while, no longer felt cold. Just as he was about to sit down and boil a pot of hot soup with Guo Jia and others, a vine armor soldier who was in charge of guarding the goose cage hurriedly ran over:

"Lord, a wild goose brought out by a caravan has flown back, this is the book of the wild goose."

Another one is back?

Mo Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and took the handbook and looked at it carefully, first hesitated and thought about it, and then a clear smile appeared on his face.

Seeing that Mo Xiaobai was overjoyed, Guo Jia immediately asked, "Lord, but there is good news?" ”

"Haha~ This time it's not just good news!"

Mo Xiaobai smiled and nodded, and then handed the book in his hand to Dumb on the left, the reason why he didn't give it to Dumb was naturally because Guo Jia might not understand some of the content written on it.

Dumb took the book and began to browse through the fat man's chicken-paw-like words with some curiosity.

Porcelain and fine wine were sold to a big nobleman in Qiuzi, which can only be said to be normal, after all, there is really nothing in China that cannot be sold.

Continuing to look down, in addition to getting a sum of gold and silver money, the fat man also picked up a batch of fine iron weapons mortgaged by the poison merchant in Qiuzi, the quantity is not small, and the price is almost equal to half selling and half giving away.

Poison?

It should be India, right?

Dumb's first reaction was that the fat man was making a big fuss, it was nothing more than Indian ironware, and there was nothing to show off. But looking at the smile on Mo Xiaobai's face at the moment, it was obvious that the perch had picked up a big leak.

Because the whole content of the biography is only these two things, and nothing else.

Indian ironware?

My mind is full of thoughts, and what is related to these three words. It wasn't until a pot of hot soup boiled in front of him that Dumb suddenly thought of three words:

Uzi Steel!

"Could it be that the bass got Uzi steel that can forge a Damascus knife?" A question blurted out, and Dumb finally knew why Mo Xiaobai was laughing like this.

Damascus knives!

Until the European Middle Ages and the Crusades, the Europeans still worshipped the Damascus knife as a demonic blade. Even during the Napoleonic period, the Damascus knife was still among the top blades of the time.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right? Are you sure? ”

"Of course, a little thought about it will make you sure."

Seeing Dumb ask again, Mo Xiaobai nodded and explained: "The reason why the Western Regions is important is nothing more than a hub for cultural exchanges and trade between the East and the West. But if you were a merchant in eastern India, would you choose to cross the northern part of India and the entire Turtle Frost Empire, and then cross the Western Regions into the Great Han? ”

"Obviously, you can go directly to the east, at most bypass a section of the mountains of Southeast Asia, you can easily enter Yizhou or Jiaozhou, and it is absolutely impossible for merchants in eastern India to go to the Western Regions. The Indian merchants who will go to the Western Regions must be those in the west, and the real production area of Uzi steel is in the northwest of India. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Xiaobai paused deliberately, took a bowl of hot soup from Guo Jia's hand, and then continued: "Those merchants in western India, they can generally trade with the Turtle Frost Empire directly by going north, and it is not impossible to go to the Western Regions again by the way. However, it is estimated that they have not yet mastered the mature Uzi steel forging method, and the weapons they bring may not be very good, but this is okay, we just need to bring the iron back and re-smelt it. ”

"Uzi steel has few impurities, and is easy to form natural knife lines, one side of the knife lines is equivalent to countless small sawtooth, the effect can be compared to the repeated forging of 100 steel. The charm of the Damascus knife lies in this, the difficulty and cost of forging are not high, but the damage to the wound cut surface is considerable, dozens or hundreds of serrations that are difficult to see with the naked eye have scraped the wound, and the injury can be cured without stopping the bleeding. ”

"But there shouldn't be a lot of this kind of raw ore in India, and it will be almost exhausted after a few hundred years of mining. However, its influence on cold weapons will not disappear, when the forging process is improved, artificial imitation of Damascus steel is still the mainstream of cold weapons. ”

As Mo Xiaobai finished his last sentence, Dumb couldn't help but be amazed: "It seems that the perch really picked up the treasure this time, I want to rush to Qiuzi as soon as possible to see those Uzi steel knives." ”

"Things are left there and can't run away, what's the hurry."

Mo Xiaobai responded with a chuckle, being able to harvest a batch of Uzi steel knives was just a surprise for him. In fact, there is an inconspicuous little thing in this letter, which is also one of the reasons for his laughter.

Handing the book from Dumb to Guo Jia on the other side, Guo Jia only glanced at it twice, then said with a smile: "Lord, our luck is not bad, sending an advance caravan is really a miracle trick with a miraculous effect." ”

"Bonghyo found out?"

"The word 'Baiba' is clearly written, and Jia is no longer worthy of giving advice to the Lord if he can't see it."

"Haha~ Perch, look at their luck is really good."

Mo Xiaobai drank a mouthful of thick soup, smiled and nodded: "Let them inquire about the news, they actually directly inquired about the next 'King of Turtles', which is a great joy for us." ”

"Before, I was thinking about how to smooth out the nail of Qiuzi, but now it seems that Yurido is really not suitable to continue to be his king of Qiuzi, we can completely help 'Baiba' and let him ascend to the throne half a year early."
