"Why are you ......"
Qin Yuan looked at Zhen Jian, looking very distressed, and said, "Zhen Jian, the country is the most important, I see you as the hope of the future of Great Chu, at this time, can you not be rash?"
” "The younger generation is not willful."
Zhen Jian shook his head and said with a serious face, "The younger generation just acts according to the laws of the country, according to the military regulations in the army, the big war is coming, no soldier can retreat for any reason, Zhen Jian is the son of Da Chu, he has the responsibility to defend my border city of Da Chu, he has the responsibility to defend the territory of Da Chu, the big husband has something to do and something not to do, General Qin, please go back." ” Hearing this, Qin Yuan stood up helplessly, and sighed loudly: "Okay, Qin really didn't misunderstand you, if you can survive this battle, you will definitely not be in the pool in the future, you ......
Be careful.
He got up and left.
As soon as Qin Yuan left, Ye Qiu walked in, looked at Zhen Jian, Zhen Jian got up and said, "It's not early, go to sleep."
"Then get on the bed and lie down.
Ye Qiu seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it, blew out the lamp and went to bed, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Zhen Jian, are you really not leaving?"
” "Did you hear it all?"
"Hmm."
Ye Qiu answered and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
” "Naturally, I'm afraid."
Zhen Jian was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "But for some reason, I just don't want to leave, I just want to experience the war in Fancheng in person, perhaps, this is a baptism for me." ” He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Others say that I am a young hero who saved Xiangyang and saved Da Chu, but I know that I am not a hero at all, I have not even killed a barbarian with my own hands, I just played a little clever, I am not very good-tempered, I can't stand too much grievance, the barbarian bullied me Da Chu, I must kill the barbarian with my own hands, in order to relieve the hatred in my heart, my real enemy is the corrupt officials headed by Qin Huan in the court, if I don't even have the courage to face the Hun barbarians, how can I talk about the Qing Dynasty and help Da Chu." ” Ye Qiu was silent for a long time when he heard this, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, no matter where you go, I will follow you, I am a reckless man, except for a martial arts, I have no other skills, but I will always stand behind you and block all the cold arrows released from the shadows for you." ” "Thank you, Brother Ye."
"You're welcome, Shopkeeper Zhen, you've seen you......
The bravest shopkeeper. ” Zhen Jian was not satisfied with such praise, and added: "I am still the youngest shopkeeper. ” Ye Qiu smiled: "Yes, the youngest shopkeeper." ” Zhen Jian said again: "I am still the most handsome shopkeeper." ” Ye Qiu smiled helplessly: "Yes, the most handsome shopkeeper." ” "Or the smartest shopkeeper."
Ye Qiu shouted angrily: "You are endless, you will immediately gasp when you say that you are fat, stinky and shameless, sleep!"
” …………………………………………………………………… The two cities of Xiangfan are actively doing war preparation work, the veterans are responsible for carrying the stones and rolling wood on the city wall, the recruits are stepping up the drills, Lei Yao and Qin Yuan recruited 20,000 young men from the people in the city, and at the same time carried out drills, as reserves, but these reserve soldiers do not have armor and weapons for the time being, and can only distribute a wooden stick per person, the craftsman office is already rushing to make arrows and weapons, during the war, Xiangfan has the privilege of manufacturing weapons, and the usual armor can only wait for the imperial court to distribute.
The atmosphere in the two cities of Xiangfan is very tense and depressing, but both the people and the soldiers are actively working hard to prepare, and the people of Xiangfan are very conscious, and they are willing to stay, that is, they are ready to live and die with the city.
Twenty-three days later, Tan Ma reported that the enemy's 20,000 cavalry was only one hundred and fifty miles away from Fancheng, and it would be there in three days, Zhen Jian suddenly found Lei Yao and asked him if he had a strong bow, because his strength had grown too fast these days, even if the strong bow in the camp could not help him pull, and the most important weapon to defend the city was the bow and arrow, and he needed a bow to take advantage of it.
Lei Yao took Zhen Jian to his general's mansion, there was a small armory in his mansion, and there were three strong bows in it, but Zhen Jian tried it, and the strongest bow was only two stones, which was still too bad, this made Lei Yao speechless, the bow that Lei Yao usually uses is just one stone and seven buckets, Zhen Jian actually felt that the two stone strong bows were bad, and he was really curious about Zhen Jian's strange power.
But now is not the time to be curious, Lei Yao personally took Zhen Jian to find the craftsman in the city, and prepared to ask the craftsman to make a strong bow for Zhen Jianxian.
Lei Yao took Zhen Jian to the largest Wang Ji blacksmith shop in the city, and saw that the shop sold all kinds of swords, including kitchen knives, sharp knives used to kill pigs and sheep, swords used by Jianghu knights, and knives used on the battlefield, even long soldiers.
Zhen Jian also opened his eyes, he didn't expect that Fancheng could openly sell controlled weapons here, but after thinking about it, he was also relieved, what kind of place is Fancheng, this is the border of the country, here is disturbed by war all the year round, everyone is in danger, the people in the city are still martial, and the local government will naturally not control these things, if this is in the capital, the owner of this blacksmith shop is estimated to have been arrested and beheaded.
As soon as Lei Yao arrived, a short, dark-skinned man hurriedly greeted him and saluted, "Meet General Lei." ” "Lao Wang doesn't need to be polite."
Lei Yao smiled indifferently and said, "I'm not here this time for official business, it's a private matter." ” Lao Wang nodded, spread his hands and said, "General Lei is talking inside, please."
With that, he led Lei Yao into the backyard.
As soon as I entered the backyard, I heard the sound of clanging all over the yard, in front of seven or eight blacksmith furnaces, more than a dozen blacksmiths were striking iron, and more than a dozen baskets of arrows were stacked in the middle of the yard, and several carpenters were making arrows on the side.
Blacksmith Wang smiled and said, "General Lei, the 20,000 arrows you want will be completed soon, and now you are already making wax guns." ” "Hmm."
Lei Yao nodded and asked, "Your strongest bow here, how much pull is it?"
” Wang Blacksmith said: "The strongest bow here is two stones and three buckets, but no one buys it in the library, because no one can pull it." ” Zhen Jian interjected: "Can you bring it to me to try?"
” Blacksmith Wang nodded, "Of course." ” He shouted, "Old Chen, go to the library and get the strongest bow." ” One of the men who had been walking around in front of several blacksmith stoves to oversee the workmen turned his head and responded, "Good!
Then he turned and left.
When the man turned around, Zhen Jian saw the man's face, and was shocked, there was a large piece of flesh on the left side of the man's face that seemed to have been burned, leaving a hideous scar, Zhen Jian suddenly thought of the news that the beggar gang told him, so he pretended to be unintentional and asked: "Lao Wang, that old Chen's face is really scary." ” Lao Wang nodded and smiled: "Yes, Lao Chen is an ancestral blacksmith, I heard that his face was burned when he used to strike iron." ” "Oh......"
Zhen Jian secretly glanced at Lao Wang's arms, Lao Wang pulled up his sleeves, his two arms were swarthy, his hair was very long, but there was no scar, he could be sure that he was not another escaped post officer, so he asked, "He's been doing it with you for a long time, right?"
” "It's been a while."
Lao Wang thought for a while and said, "Four years ago, he came to Fancheng from other places, came to me to beg for a living, I saw that his iron-making skills were good, so I used him, and let him be the leader last year, and now he rarely wheels the hammer, mainly to supervise the craftsmanship of these young people." ” "Oh."
Zhen Jian nodded, and wanted to ask more, but thinking about it, if he asked again, it would be too obvious, it would be not good to startle the snake, and now that the war was imminent, he had no time to deal with this matter, so he could only wait for the war to end, so he didn't ask any more.
After a while, Lao Chen took the strong bow from the library, and Zhen Jian took the opportunity to take a look at Lao Chen, his skin was very dark, he was in his forties, except for the scar on his face, there was nothing special.
Zhen Jian only glanced at him, and didn't dare to look more, so as not to let the other party notice, he took the strong bow, pulled it a few times, shook his head and sighed: "The strength is still too small." ” Seeing this, Lao Wang exclaimed and said: "This is a strong bow with two stones and three buckets, no one can pull it open, this young man is really a good strength." ” Lei Yao laughed and said: "He has been born with divine power since he was a child, and even I can't match it, Lao Wang, can you make a strong bow for him?"
” Lao Wang asked, "How much do you want?"
"Multiplicity is a kind of jargon for making a bow, representing the tension of the bow, because when testing the tension of the bow, it is to hang the bow body on the wall, and then hang a weight on the bowstring, when the weight completely pulls the bowstring, the weight of the weight is the tension of the bow, so the craftsman who makes the bow generally asks the other party how heavy the bow is.
Zhen Jiandao: "The bow of the four stones, have you made it?"
” "Four stones?"
Lao Wang was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue when he heard this, and looked at Zhen Jian with wide eyes and shock.

Zhen Jian nodded and said, "That's right, four stones, the four stone strong bow should be just right for me." ” Lao Wang frowned and said: "I heard that General Qin Yuan is invincible, but his matching bow is only three stones and five buckets, do you really want a four-stone strong bow?"
” Zhen Jian nodded: "That's right, I want a four-stone strong bow, you just say if you can do it, right?"
” Lao Wang pondered for a long time, nodded vigorously, and said, "I can do it, but it will take at least a month, or even more, and the price is ......
It's not ordinary, it's all the best materials, and it's very difficult to make a bow tire made of pure steel. ” Zhen Jian nodded and smiled: "Okay, money is not a problem, you make a price." ” Lao Wang raised five fingers and said, "Five hundred!"
” Zhen Jian took out a silver ticket from his arms, handed it to him, and said, "This is a silver ticket of one thousand taels, no need to change." ” "One......
One thousand taels ......"
When Lao Wang took the silver ticket, his hands trembled.
Zhen Jiandao: "I hope you can make a bow for me as soon as possible, and this bow with two stones and three buckets, I want it, before I have a bow in hand, take this one and use it together." ” Lao Wang said: "Okay, you can take it, this bow is only worth thirty times." ” Lao Wang thought for a while, and then said, "However, this ......"
"My surname is Zhen."
"This Zhen Shaoxia ......," Lao Wang said, "I have to remind you that the four-stone strong bow is larger than ordinary bows, and the arrows are longer than ordinary arrows, so they must be specially made." ” Zhen Jian took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to him, and said: "The arrows are made of wooden pod wood, you can make as many arrows as you can, I don't want arrows that are too light, oh, by the way, pure steel arrows, can you do them?"
” "Huh?
Arrows of pure steel?
Lao Wang was shocked again when he heard this, and after being stunned for a long time, he looked at the silver ticket in his hand, and immediately nodded vigorously, "I can do it!"
” Zhen Jian said: "Then by the way, make me ten more pure steel arrows." ” "Good!"
Lao Wang nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a person suddenly ran in outside, it was Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu said as soon as he came in: "Zhen Jian, the imperial court has a holy decree, it is for you." ” Lei Yao and Zhen Jian were shocked at the same time when they heard this, and without saying a word, they immediately walked out of the blacksmith shop and ran towards the barracks.
