I learned skills in a different world

Chapter 63 Learning to make tools on the ancient border (9)

While Shen Fangshi was studying step by step, the atmosphere in a secret place in the military camp was completely different from Shen Fangshi's place there.

This is a prison cell in a military camp. There is no sunlight all year round. It is already cold and humid. Plus, it is winter now, which makes people shiver even more from the cold.

Although it is simple, it is well-defended and equipped with all kinds of torture instruments. Occasionally, a cold wind blows in from the gaps in the wall, making a creepy sound, making people feel inexplicably frightened as soon as they enter.

The eldest prince of the Hu Mangyan tribe, Alugu, was imprisoned here.

As soon as Chu Kui came in, Qi Diao Si, who was in charge of the interrogation, came up to him and said, "General, he's almost done recruiting."

Chu Kui hummed, "Let them go out first."

Qi Diaosi didn't ask why, and simply asked the other soldiers in the execution room to go out and guard, leaving only himself, Chu Kui and Alu Gu alone.

Seeing the others going out, Chu Kui turned to look at the tied up Alugu.

A Lu Gu's current appearance was very different from the high-spirited one back then. He was covered in injuries, mentally depressed, and looked very embarrassed.

Hearing Chu Kui's arrival, Alugu raised his head with difficulty and stared at him fiercely, but only Alugu himself knew how much fear he felt in his heart.

Chu Kui is known as the "Invincible God of War" in the hearts of the Hu Mang people. They have been frightened by him in recent years. If it weren't for the fact that Chu Kui was seriously injured this time and he was eager to perform meritorious service, Alugu would not have dared to sneak attack Yucheng Pass with only 5,000 cavalry.

Moreover, the 'bows and arrows' used by the Yu Cheng army that day also caught people off guard. Even though they were so far apart, they could easily penetrate the warriors' armor and defeat them. Thinking of this, A Lugu felt a chill in his heart. He could only Praying to the Sirius God to let his father redeem him quickly, he really couldn't bear it anymore.

These people are evil spirits!

He never thought that the various tortures he had inflicted on the people and slaves of Wei would one day be inflicted on himself.

As for the Humang tribe's city defense layout and detailed strategic plan, I just told him, save my life first, I believe the Sirius God will not blame him.

Chu Kui walked up to A Lu Gu and sat down. His voice was slow and he asked, "A Lu Gu, how are you doing lately?"

Alugu's heart trembled.

Chu Kui continued: "I heard that you found an iron mine. I wonder if you can tell me something."

"What iron ore, I don't know what you are talking about?"

Alugu had been tortured for several days, and his psychological defense was on the verge of collapse. At this time, when he heard Chu Kui tell him his most important secret, he suddenly panicked and blurted out these words.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it. Didn't he just bring it on himself?

The iron ore was of vital importance. The place was remote and hidden, and he discovered it by accident. Only he and his cronies knew that the people who mined the iron ore were his most loyal slaves. In order to increase his leverage, he He didn't even tell his father.

Could it be that his cronies leaked the secret? One of the people captured this time knew the secret of the iron mine.

Chu Kui just stared at A Lugu and said nothing.

Alugu became even more panicked by Chu Kui's oppressive eyes.

"No, there really is no iron ore..." At this time, the eldest prince, who had always been known as the eagle on the grassland, was extremely weak.

In fact, the information about the iron mine was discovered by Shen Fangshi. When the Yucheng army cleaned the battlefield and took the Hu Mang weapons back to the camp that day, Shen Fangshi originally planned to study what the Hu Mang weapons were like, but found that these weapons were clearly intact and sharp. , but deliberately acted old, and doubts suddenly arose in my heart.

Sensing something was wrong, he informed Chu Kui about it. Although Chu Kui was not a craftsman, he had been dealing with weapons since he was a child. When Shen Fangshi said this, he naturally discovered something fishy.

It's not unusual for weapons to be brand new, but what's strange is why they go to great lengths to make new weapons old.

Could it be that the origin of these weapons is incorrect?

Shen Fangshi had just come into contact with craftsmanship and was not very familiar with the knowledge of ironware. It was Chu Kui who went to find the old blacksmith in the military workshop to figure out the situation.

These weapons were all recently made, taking no more than half a year at most. Moreover, the production process is relatively rough and does not look like it came from a regular workshop.

So it's a bit thought-provoking to be so secretive, as if you deliberately don't want others to know.

Chu Kui quickly had the captured Hu Mang cavalry interrogated. Sure enough, this interrogation yielded news that excited almost everyone.

Most of these prisoners were the private soldiers of the eldest prince Alugu. They only knew that the weapons were given to them by the eldest prince, so they couldn't ask for much information.

However, one of Alugu's personal guards couldn't bear the punishment and spilled the beans, saying that Alugu had discovered an iron mine, but he didn't know the specific location.

This information is very important. You must know that this is an iron mine. What they lack most in Yucheng Pass is food and weapons, and weapons are inseparable from copper and iron.

If they could find an iron mine, the soldiers would no longer have to fight with badly worn and shoddily made weapons. With sharper and harder weapons, they would no longer worry about the Humang people. That's why Chu Kui came to interrogate Alugu in person.

Looking at the tough-talking Alugu, Qi Diaosi said: "Your men have already been recruited. Does it mean that the eldest prince still wants to experience the punishment of my great Wei again?"

Qi Diao Si had also just heard about the iron mine. He was shocked at first and then ecstatic. However, he was experienced and experienced and did not show it. Instead, he quickly asked Alu Gu.

Alu Gu was a little scared looking at the torture instruments, but he still managed to say calmly: "I am the eldest prince of the Yan tribe. My father will definitely come to save me. If you dare to kill me, my father will definitely lead Hu Mang." The most valiant warriors will crush your Wei state."

He had said these words before. He knew that the Wei State would not kill him, but their punishment made him frightened. However, this iron mine was the foundation of his life, and he was not willing to tell others.

Qi Diaosi didn't expect that this kid could still be tough-talking after being tortured so much. He had obviously done it when he was threatened before. Qi Diaosi looked at Chu Kui and wanted to ask his opinion.

Chu Kui had no expression on his face and only said a few words lightly: "Presumably the eldest prince doesn't want your father to know that you have secretly hidden iron ore, secretly forged weapons, and trained private soldiers."

Alugu's already tense nerves suddenly collapsed.

Yes, if other people in the Yan tribe know that he has secretly hidden iron ore, not only his father will be disappointed in him, but his good brothers will probably not let him go. They will definitely use this matter to remonstrate with his father. Eat yourself until not a single bone is left.

No, we can't let them know!
