Say ~

Li Jing felt a shock under his feet, looked down and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

I saw that the slightly mixed iron ingot was actually smashed into it, while the other one was safe and sound.

Almost out of instinct, Li Jing thought of the scene of two swords slashing each other, the scene of a long spear piercing into the armor, and the scene of an arrow piercing through the helmet...

If these two iron ingots are forged into weapons of the same specifications, then the collision just now will not be simply a sunken. With the close contact, there will definitely be a knife that will suffer, and the one who suffers is undoubtedly the iron ingot bought from the Tang Dynasty.

"How is this possible? Has your iron ingot been quenched and forged?" Li Jing said in disbelief.

On the side, Xi Yunfei and Xie Yingdeng also walked over. Xie Yingdeng glanced at the sunken iron ingot and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xi Yunfei raised his lips lightly and said, "This piece is just an ordinary iron ingot burned from the first process."

"Not bad." Master Qiao Er nodded to Li Jing and said, "There was a second process that could burn harder..."

"Steel." Xi Yunfei reminded.

"Yes, yes, it's harder and better steel, just the same materials as the swords used by the Guardian Team..., right?" Master Qiao Er looked at Xi Yunfei excitedly. He was very excited when talking about iron smelting these days and had endless things to say.

Xi Yunfei smiled bitterly and nodded in response. The uncles and uncles in Xiagou Village are really doing things that love each other, and they are so dedicated that they are speechless.

Xie Yingdeng, who was watching the fun, stretched out his feet and kicked the sunken iron ingot. Although the force was not strong, the iron ingot still moved slightly and kicked another one, but it didn't move at all. After all, the weight was there: "Is that the arrow cluster too?"

Xi Yunfei shook his head and did not explain much. Although it was the same steel, it was high steel, so he could only burn soft steel himself, which was a very different place. But to be honest, soft and hard are enough. I didn’t see that it was the same pig iron, and the one he burned was already far ahead of others.

Li Jing frowned slightly, stared at the iron ingot on the ground with his eyes, and looked thoughtful.

Seeing this, Xi Yunfei smiled in his heart. He must have sold his iron, and now it seems that he has the first sales route.

After looking at Master Qiao Er, Xi Yunfei did not disturb Li Jing, but walked to the blast furnace with Master Qiao Er to comfort the craftsmen who had to try the blast furnace here during the New Year.

On this side, Li Jing thought for a long time, looked up at the sky, and sighed helplessly.

The longer he got along with Xi Yunfei, the more he felt sorry for the Tang Dynasty. What a good talent... He couldn't dig up the good things in his hands. Even if he just leaked a little, it was enough for a family to rise. What a pity...

Seeing Li Jing sighing, Xie Yingdeng reached out and patted his shoulder, wrapped his hands around his chest, as if he was comforting, but actually said jokingly: "Why should I sigh? In fact, you should be glad that this child has no ambitions, haha, otherwise what will this world become...but it is not certain!"

Li Jing was stunned when he heard this, and then said with some blame: "Ying Deng can't say this..." Halfway through, he stopped and sighed heavily. Shut up and put back what he wanted to say. Judging from his expression, he was obviously a little more entangled.

Xie Yingdeng is now a free man, so he can't control so much. Seeing Li Jing look disappointed, he knows that he knows it well. Even if he doesn't say something, he actually makes accusation.

"The pharmacist would better persuade the King of Qin. Some people are really not something he can deal with if he wants to. I am now just the acting captain of the 11th Team of the Guardians, but the equipment given to me by Erlang... If the equipment is sufficient, I am confident enough to lead three thousand people to take down any city within a day... What's more, he has the more terrifying team one and second teams."

"You?" Li Jing frowned. Xie Yingdeng didn't care about Li Shimin's name, because he would usually call Li Shimin a habitually, but he was used to calling him King Qin. After all, he was used to calling him. But he couldn't pretend that he didn't hear Xie Yingdeng's crazy words.

The bold statements of three thousand people conquering any city naturally include the world's largest city... Chang'an City. If such words were placed in the Tang Dynasty, they would be ruthless and rude to be imprisoned, and they might even lose their heads.

But... this is Shuofang, Xi Yunfei's territory... "Oh~" Li Jing couldn't help but sigh again.

"Their conflict will break out sooner or later...a question of sooner or later..."

Xie Yingdeng spat with a mouthful of phlegm and muttered a few words like he was talking to himself.

Li Jing sighed for the third time, but this time he did not refute and was silent for a long time.

Li Jing squatted down, picked up the intact iron ingot on the ground, and whispered: "If this piece of iron is made into weapon armor, as long as there are five thousand pairs of ordinary elite soldiers, they can reach the five thousand Xuanjia Army."

Xie Yingdeng was stunned when he heard this. He knew that he was unwilling to investigate the issue. He followed his words and nodded and responded: "If he was wearing armor all over his body, the same number would be the case, the Xuanjia Army would probably be defeated."

Li Jing was determined to argue, but after thinking about it carefully, if it was really five thousand sets of full-body armor that were incompetent to swords and guns, it might have been able to beat the same number of Xuanjia Army. Of course, the premise is that the Xuanjia Army does not escape, after all, this iron is much heavier than ordinary iron.

"If there are 50,000... you can go to the Turkic sweat tent..." Xie Yingdeng thought for a while, and added another sentence with confidence.

······

At this moment, Shuofang Dongcheng County Magistrate's Mansion.

In an old study room in the back hall, Changsun Zhi sat cross-legged, and there was also a person sitting cross-legged in front of the table, but his face was covered with a black cloth.

Changsun Zhi held a wolf's hair in her hand and kept writing on the paper. She occasionally looked up at the bookshelf on one side, sorted out her thoughts, and then continued to write, intermittently, with seven or eight pieces of rice paper on the table, all of which were full of writing.

The masked man in front of him was not in a hurry. The only eyes exposed were very sharp. Between the thick eyebrows and eyes, there was a hideous scar, which seemed to be burning, or like a scar left by a bite by some wild beast.

After about one incense stick, Changsun Zhicai, who was writing quickly, barely put down his wolf's hair, held his right wrist with his left hand and twisted it back and forth gently.

The masked man saw Chang Sun Zhi stop writing, so he reached out to take out a flat brocade box from his arms, then waved his right hand, holding a delicate and small key in his hand about the size of a matchstick.

The brocade box looks more like a book with exquisite binding, but on one side of the brocade box, there are two small holes that just can be inserted into the small key.

The masked man inserted the key into one of the holes, then twisted it back and forth a few times, and the box sounded a slight sound of the organic stake turning, but it did not open.

The masked man put the brocade box with the keys on the table and sat down cross-legged again.

Changsun Zhi looked up at him, reached into his arms, took out a sack, poured it on the table, and a key that was equally delicate fell out. Changsun Zhi took the box and inserted the key into another hole. He also turned around the left and right according to a certain pattern, and the box slammed and popped open automatically.

Chang Sun Zhi put the rice paper dried ink stains on the table into the box one by one in order, and then closed it again. The key turned around in the direction just now before handing the box to the masked man opposite.

After the masked man took the box, he also turned around a few times before pulling out the key, then put the brocade box into his arms, stood up neatly, bowed to Changsun Zhi, turned his head and walked out of the study.
