Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

"Bang—it's unreasonable!"

"Too much deceit! His Peking Palace is really deceiving too much!" Wu Liang slapped the table, furious, "Brother, let me just say, we were too useless last time, that is obviously the place where gold, silver and jewelry are in our mansion." Iron box, you insist on holding me and don't let me care about it, this is great, Luo Yi has made an inch of it, and dared to kill someone from my Dingguo mansion! Wait for me to come and pull the murderer out alive."

"Arguing? What are you arguing about? Jiang Ying signed a life-and-death certificate!" Wu Kui was also annoyed, but there was no use in being annoyed. His family didn't care at all. Even if he sued the emperor, no one would make a decision for him.

"Sigh... Is it possible that my subordinates can die in vain? Brother, what should we do? If we are to shrink our heads again, we will not be able to stay in Beiping Mansion any longer. We will have to be ridiculed to death."

Wu Kui gritted his teeth: "Who said we can't take revenge? In a few months, there will be the annual school competition, and Luo Yi must be killed at that time! If he comes with a few generals, I will kill him." General, tell Chen Ping, Yang Wang, and Jia Shang that there is no need to be merciful in this year's school grounds, come and kill a few."

"Yes, this subordinate will give you an order to let the generals hurry up and practice martial arts."

"Ah."

The subordinate general hesitated for a while, and then said: "It's just my lord, the fact that General Jiang's iron rod was cut off..."

Speaking of this, Wu Kui was even more annoyed: "Who actually built the weapon for Jiang Ying? How dare you cut corners! Give me a thorough investigation, and I will definitely not let you down."

The general got the order and went down.

At this time, neither the Wu brothers nor the soldiers under their command were worried about cutting off the iron rod with a big knife. In their view, this thin sharp blade could break an iron rod as thick as an arm. ?Obviously, it was the laziness of forging weapons, and the inferior products were made and presented, which cost Jiang Ying his life.

Regardless of how the Duke of Dingguo plans to "bear the burden of humiliation" in the annual school competition, Luo Cheng is taking his brother to the northern suburbs.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this scene is jaw-dropping.

Luo Song only knew that his younger brother likes to make things, but he never thought that he would hide such a large arsenal under the Wu brothers' noses, on the outskirts of Beicheng, under the Yanyun Jingqi training ground.

In the deep corridor, a torch was placed on the wall every ten steps, illuminating the corridor clearly, and even the lines on the ground were clearly visible.

Luo Cheng walked in front, and said to Luo Song behind him: "Brother, follow me, in order to guard against the Wu Brothers' spies, there are many hidden weapons in the basement, a wrong step may kill your life."

Luo Songchu didn't take it to heart and followed him.After walking through a long and narrow corridor of dozens of feet, Luo Cheng stopped, turned around and smiled at him, picked up a small stone at random, threw it on the ground, and heard a creaking sound, and in the blink of an eye, the walls on both sides There are many more holes, and the sound of crossbow arrows being loaded can be heard in my ears.

He had a rough guess in his mind, and sure enough, before he could ask, the sharp arrows were fired, cold sweat broke out on Luo Song's forehead, if he made a wrong step, he would be shot like a hedgehog.

Luo Cheng didn't see the expression on his brother's face, he just raised his head and peeked at his brother, with a look on his face that I am very capable, please praise my expression...

Luo Song couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't know what to say, no matter how capable the person in front of him was, he was still a child, otherwise how could he share all his secrets with him?Privately manufactured weapons, recruited soldiers and bought horses, and even threatened to rebel. When it comes to beheading, I don’t know how many times I will be beheaded.

Luo Song's face was a little moved, and the eyes he looked at Luo Cheng became more and more moved.

Luo Song bent down, picked up an arrow from the ground, looked at it for a while, and said in surprise: "This is not an ordinary arrow."

"Yeah." Luo Cheng nodded, and said with surprise on his face: "My brother has good eyesight. The Zhuge Liannu is arranged behind the wall. I must have heard of it. It was created by Zhuge Liang of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. The biggest feature is that it can Ten shots in bursts, the power is a hundred times more complicated than that of ordinary crossbows, including the arrows used in crossbows, which are also unusual. On this basis, I have equipped him with a turbine. If he steps on the wrong stone board and touches the turbine, the arrows of the crossbow can be triggered. All together, the tension exceeds [-] catties."

Luo Song was surprised: "Didn't it mean that it has been lost? Where did you get it from?"

Luo Cheng dare not say that he learned it from Zhang Dabeard in his previous life. Zhang Dabeard is familiar with all kinds of hidden weapons and institutions, and he learned it from a book of Luban handed down from his ancestors.Luo Cheng didn't dare to tell the truth, so he said that his father had collected skilled craftsmen from all over the world for him, and one of them was known by an old man, which was said to be an ancestral craft.

Luo Song didn't doubt it either. After all, there are so many capable people in the world. With the strength of the Beiping Palace, it is not impossible to search for a few capable people.

"Although this kind of crossbow is large in size, it is difficult for a single soldier to use. However, if it is used on the battlefield to deal with enemy cavalry, no matter how arrogant he is, I will see how he can escape my sea of ​​arrows."

Luo Song felt the same way. Bows and crossbows were originally the most effective way for the city defenders to deal with the siege enemy. Now the power of the continuous bows and crossbows has been increased several times. Don't Luo Song marvel.

Going further in, with the foreshadowing in front, Luo Song listened to Luo Cheng's warning, and walked step by step, step by step.

Afterwards, he went through a series of flaps, hanging stone chain locks, biogas pools, etc. After walking for less than half an hour, he had passed through four or five traps. It is no wonder that this kid has nothing to fear. I really have doubts, I sent spies here, I am afraid there will be no return, I feel guilty when I sent someone to inquire, but I can't wait for someone to report back, I can't catch the current situation, and I don't dare to challenge my father, so I can only give up.

In fact, Luo Song really thinks highly of this younger brother. Luo originally designed the trap for his evil taste.

When we were in the village before, outsiders or wild beasts often broke into the forest. For the safety of the people in the village, he and his father set up many traps, but now they just didn't want to be unfamiliar and arranged them for fun.

The big game is yet to come.

After passing through the traps along the way, open the stone gate, and the eyes suddenly open up.

Luo Song couldn't help opening his eyes wide, his face full of amazement.

The scene right now is full of heat.

Two or three ironworkers gathered in front of the cast-iron fireplace, pulling the bellows, quenching, forging, forging, all naked to the upper body, and the sound of banging iron castings was endless.

Seeing Luo Shaobao coming, one of the few old men in the field, wearing a jacket, held the hemp paper marked with symbols and patterns, and greeted him with trembling hands, staring at the person in front of him energetically with a pair of cloudy eyes.

"Shaobao, it's not difficult to make the things on this blueprint. After all, there is a repeating machine crossbow in front of it, and the old man can transform it into a repeating machine. It's just that this device is wonderful, but the thorns mentioned in the blueprint Fireball, thunderbolt fireball, what is it? This old man is very curious." This old man was originally a carpenter, the kung fu handed down by his ancestors, the first-hand second-hand work, but anyone who has seen it can't do it.

But what's the use of nimble hands and feet? I can't keep my only granddaughter. Looking at the age of twenty-eight, she is just young and plans to find a good marriage. The housekeeper saw it, and pulled him directly into the mansion. He was humiliated that night. He couldn't think about it for a while, so he threw himself into the well. Carpenter Zhang was in great pain. He didn't want to live anymore when he got the news. At the door, people from the Duke's Mansion of the Yue Kingdom were arrested, and they were sentenced to exile directly to the Prince's Mansion of Peking without asking any questions.

Carpenter Zhang thought that he must have died in exile this time, but he didn't expect that not only did he not die, but Luo Shaobao even fell in love with him and placed him here to forge mechanical weapons.

After arriving here, as long as it is not made of wood, everyone basically understands the intention of this Shaobao at this moment. Privately manufacturing weapons and equipment is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. What does this young master want to do?

Fortunately, these people are all similar to him, victims of the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty, otherwise who would have been exiled to northern Hebei.

Coming to the underground, although they can survive, they basically cannot see the light of day, so the only hope is that this master will rebel quickly, and if they rebel, they will be able to see the light of day again.

"Don't worry about this, you only need to be in charge of your section, and make such a repeater for me."

"Hey, leave it to the old man." Carpenter Zhang responded with a thud, turned around and went to study the details with a few younger students.

When the two walked to the forging place, several blacksmiths were constantly beating the iron objects in front of them, which basically had the outline of a big knife. Luo Song saw that even when Luo Cheng walked up to them, they didn't stop, so he knew that their "ignoring" was the reason for this. Luo Cheng acquiesced, probably because this kind of inspection happened every now and then. In order not to delay the progress, he usually didn't talk much.

While Luo Song was thinking about it, Luo Cheng pointed at the big knife that had just taken shape, looked at his brother with a smile and said, "Brother, do you know why this seedling knife can cut iron like mud?"

Rosen shook his head.

"First of all, two pieces of hard steel have to be made, which are made by folding. The temperature is controlled between 750-800 degrees, and the number of folds is about 15 times. There are 32768 layers. The steel is sandwiched together, heated to about 32768 degrees, and forged, so that the three pieces of steel become one steel, and then extended to the basic shape of the knife. At this time, because the steel knife has been heated to 1300 degrees, the surface has been decarbonized, and the hardness has changed. It is small, so it needs to be carburized to make the surface harder, and then it is quenched, and then it is shaped, polished, polished..." What Luo Cheng didn't say was that in modern times, he created a seedling knife that cuts iron like mud It is extremely difficult, not to mention the Sui Dynasty. Fortunately, in the name of the Beiping Palace, many blacksmiths can be summoned to work.

Luo Song heard that the craftsmanship was extremely complicated, and it contained a lot of new words that he had never heard before. Although he didn't understand, he didn't ask too much, but he thought highly of his younger brother. I'm messing around, but I don't know if the father knows what the younger brother is doing?What kind of whimsical ideas are in the head.

Luo Song stared blankly at his younger brother, who was discussing forging techniques with some blacksmiths, and suddenly had a feeling that his younger brother was not messing around, nor was he talking about rebellion, he really wanted to overthrow the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty rule.

After wandering around the underground arsenal all afternoon, Luo Song felt a lot of emotions. The two brothers almost talked about everything. The two stepped into the mansion together. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw the mother and concubine clasping their hands and pacing back and forth anxiously. , as soon as the two brothers came in, they immediately greeted them with red eyes.

Luo Cheng was taken aback when he saw this posture. Even if the Wu brothers came to the door, the mother and concubine would not have such an attitude. Could it be that something happened at home?
