The Nine Cauldrons

Chapter 70: not dead?

Views:

"Senior Master Hong was killed by Wang Tieshan! The situation was quite chaotic at that time. Wang Tiefeng, the second head of the Tieshan Gang, was killed by Fourth Master Hong at that time." Teng Qingshan said, although the death of Fourth Master Hong , has a lot to do with myself. But Teng Qingshan didn't intend to say it.

Saying it is just showing off, it's meaningless.

"Retribution, retribution!!!" Teng Yunlong couldn't help laughing.

The other people in the main room also seemed very happy.

Teng Yunlong immediately laughed and said, "That old thief's death is a great joy. But once he dies, Yicheng will probably be in turmoil."

"Grandpa, I think our clan needs to forge armor!" Teng Qingshan said solemnly, "In this fight, without the protection of armor, it is easy to lose your life. But with armor, the strength in fighting is much stronger." The White Horse Battalion, wearing heavy armor, could easily kill many people with a single charge.

Armor is good, but expensive!

Forging a pair of armor is much more difficult than a sword and gun. A pair of good materials can cover the whole body. A well-made armor needs at least a thousand taels of silver, which is enough to catch up with a first-class war horse. If it is a simple heavy armor, it will cost two hundred taels of silver. This is also the reason why the general Zhuangzi can't afford armor.

A few pieces of good armor can make a Zhuangzi poor and have no money.

As for some simple thin iron armor, cheap is cheap, it can be pierced by the bravery of the mountain people with a spear, and thin iron armor is useless at all. To be fully protected, heavy armor is necessary.

Of course, using precious materials, such as 'Wannian Cold Iron', etc., it is possible to refine armor that is both light and defensive. But that price is terrible. After all, a pair of armor uses much more material than a sword.

"That thing is precious." Teng Qinghu's father 'Teng Yonghang' said with his eyes brightened, but he still smacked his lips.

"Qingshan is right, it is time for us to build heavy armor." Teng Yunlong was excited like never before, "Our Tengjiazhuang can build heavy armor by ourselves. We only need to buy materials! For a piece of heavy armor, we choose the materials ourselves , one hundred taels of silver is almost enough. If you buy two hundred pieces, that’s 20,000 taels of silver!"

"Twenty thousand taels!" Teng Yonghang was a little shocked.

"This thing can be done!" Teng Yongfan stood up and said.

The last time Teng Qingshan went to Yicheng to exchange for 'Star Pattern Steel', he brought back a full six hundred taels of gold. Tengjiazhuang, there is no shortage of money!

"It takes a long time to build so many armors!" Teng Yongfan said.

"Well, when the time comes, I'll ask some clansmen to help me. Heavy armor doesn't require much skill. Yongfan, your apprentices can also make it!" Teng Yunlong said, "Tomorrow, we will expand the weapon shop. , build those apprentices together, and build these two hundred pieces of heavy armor as soon as possible."

"Grandpa, father, build two hundred pieces?" Teng Qingshan asked.

Teng Yunlong laughed and said: "All the powerful men in the clan wear it!"

Tengjiazhuang's current military strength is indeed very strong. Since Teng Qingshan taught the 'Tiger Fist', Tiger Fist has become a boxing skill practiced by the men of the Teng clan since childhood. In the past six years, there have been more than fifty members of the clan who have generated inner strength in their bodies. Although the other clansmen didn't generate internal strength, the internal boxing did have an internal strengthening effect, which greatly increased the strength of the clansmen.

In the past, the general level of strong men in Tengjiazhuang was able to lift three hundred catties.

In the past six years, many of them can lift 400 catties.

There are quite a few of them over five hundred catties, and they can walk like flying in heavy armor.

"Grandpa, Dad, I think there are more than 50 people in the clan with inner strength. We should make fifty sets of heavy armor first. The materials for these fifty sets of heavy armor should be better used for those who have developed inner strength in the clan." .” Teng Qingshan suggested.

"I think it will work!" Teng Yunlong agreed, after all, the six hundred taels of gold was 60,000 taels of silver.

Tengjiazhuang can afford to squander, good steel must be used on the blade, and this gold and silver must be spent on real things.

"Qingshan, Qinghu." Teng Yunlong looked at the two of them, "I know, both of you plan to join Guiyuanzong, but this time Qinghu got married and failed, forget it, Qinghu, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry a wife in the future? I think May I ask, when do you plan to join Nagui Yuanzong?"

Teng Qingshan and Teng Qinghu looked at each other.

"Grandpa, let's wait for the situation in Yicheng to become clearer. We have been waiting for so many years, and we are not in a hurry." Teng Qingshan was still a little worried.

"En." Teng Qinghu also nodded in agreement.

*****

The next morning, when the sun was shining brightly, Tengjiazhuang began to be lively. Teng Yongfan immediately arranged for people to order heavy armor materials. Many young men in the clan also demolished the walls of the weapons store for expansion. A set of heavy armor, the workload is much more than making 182 Bihan knives.

In the courtyard of Teng Qingshan's house.

"breathe!"

With deep and powerful breathing combined with each move, Teng Qingshan was practicing the Xingyi Sansana. It seemed to be as slow as grinding, but his punches were like thunder, and there was a sound of air explosion, and the whole courtyard was blown by wind. Teng Qingshan was completely immersed in the Xingyi Trisana, the legs seemed to be rooted in the ground.

Alternate hands, combining fast and slow light and heavy.

Alternating from left to right, Teng Qingshan practiced and felt a sense of yin and yang alternation.

Immersed in this artistic conception for more than an hour, Teng Qingshan stopped to rest.

"Go to the training ground and have a look." Teng Qingshan quickly came to the training ground holding the reincarnation gun.

The martial arts training ground was very noisy, those practicing marksmanship, building strength, practicing tiger boxing, and competing with each other. There were hundreds of men in the whole martial arts training ground, and it was full of enthusiasm. There are many children and women on the sidelines laughing and talking. Everyone seemed very happy.

"What are the men in the clan fighting for? Isn't it so that the clansmen can live a good life?" Feeling this joy, Teng Qingshan felt very warm in his heart. The things in front of him are what the clansmen guarded!

"Brother!" A crisp voice sounded, and Qing Yu, who was wearing a flowered cloth and had two ponytails, ran over excitedly.

"What are you looking at over there? Watching them practice Tiger Fist?" Teng Qingshan laughed.

"They don't have a better brother than you." Qing Yu hugged Teng Qingshan's arm and said sweetly.

"It looks like you are naughty like a boy, Xiao Yu, you are almost an adult, you are about to get married, don't learn to be quiet, and see who dares to marry you in the future." Teng Qingshan deliberately scolded, but Qingyu was a She wrinkled her nose and snorted tenderly: "Hmph, bro... you don't even look at it, how many people come to our house to be a matchmaker, but... those men, hmph, I don't like any of them. The men in my future, even if they can't catch up with you, brother, I don't care. I have to catch up with you by half."

Teng Qingshan couldn't help laughing.

Looking up at the sky, the sun has reached the middle.

"Xiaoyu, we will have lunch later, let's go back first." Teng Qingshan said, just as Teng Qingshan finished speaking, the earth trembled.

Teng Qingshan frowned and looked outside the gate of Tengjiazhuang, only to see a lot of people galloping in the distance, the whole martial arts field immediately fell silent, many clansmen immediately grabbed their spears, and even some The young people shouted eagerly: "The horse thief is here!"

The shout echoed over Tengjiazhuang, and suddenly a large number of clansmen in the whole village ran towards the martial arts training ground with spears, bows and arrows.

"White Horse Camp?" Teng Qingshan frowned.

The horse thieves outside the gate, regardless of whether they were humans or horses, were all covered in armor, and the blackness made people tremble. Teng Qingshan had seen the soldiers of the White Horse Battalion before, so of course he recognized at a glance that these more than a hundred horse thieves were none other than the most elite 'White Horse Battalion' of the White Horse Clan.

"Open the door!" There was a loud shout from the horse thief.

Can you open the door

The guards of Tengjiazhuang and many clansmen looked at Teng Qingshan, Teng Qingshan said: "Open the door."

Immediately, the gate of the clan opened with a bang, and more than a hundred cavalrymen from the White Horse Battalion entered the training ground.

"The White Horse Gang and the Tieshan Gang just separated their life and death yesterday evening. There are so many people in the White Horse Gang and they are still disabled, so it is impossible to go back at night. It is estimated that they only set off from the Iron Mountain Gang in the morning. That is to say, the people of the White Horse Camp They didn't have time to go back to Baima Lake, so they came directly to my Tengjiazhuang." Teng Qingshan also found out, "Hey, not all of them are from Baimaying!"

Just now, from a distance, it seemed that they were all wearing armor, but looking closer now, there were still twelve people in this large group who were not wearing armor.

"Who is the patriarch of your Tengjiazhuang?" The leader of the White Horse Battalion, riding on a horse, shouted indifferently. More than a hundred men and horses were dressed in armor, and the atmosphere of the entire martial arts training ground seemed to be frozen, and the killing yesterday made these horse thieves in the white horse camp still carry a bloody smell, which made people tremble even more. Not daring to breathe loudly, the children looked at the horse thieves in horror.

"It's me." Teng Yunlong walked out from the crowd at this moment, and Teng Qingshan immediately followed behind Grandpa.

The clansmen stood behind the patriarch, holding weapons, and once the patriarch gave the order, they would fight regardless of everything.

"Teng Qingshan, who is it?" the leader shouted again.

Teng Qingshan took a step forward, standing side by side with grandfather, and said with a smile: "I am Teng Qingshan, this lord should be the leader of the White Horse Camp, I wonder if you are here at my Tengjiazhuang, what's the matter?"

The leader glanced at Teng Qingshan indifferently, and then grinned: "You are Teng Qingshan? It is rumored that you are the number one hero in Tengjiazhuang. Well, I don't know your skills, but at least... you are not small. Today, I It is a great thing to come to you, and I will give it to you in Tengjiazhuang."

"Great thing?" Teng Yunlong was a little puzzled.

A cavalry soldier beside the leader immediately shouted: "You all heard clearly, this is the young master of our White Horse Gang! After a few days, he will be the new head of our White Horse Gang! The young master is here today, yes Recruit real heroes to enter our White Horse Camp!"

There was an uproar in Tengjiazhuang.

White Horse Camp

The most elite team in the White Horse Gang

"Young master? He's not dead?" Teng Qingshan was shocked from the bottom of his heart, and Teng Yunlong beside him also looked at Teng Qingshan suspiciously.

Last night, Teng Qingshan clearly said that the young master is dead!

"He is the young master, so who is that person I killed?" Teng Qingshan glanced at the horse. The weapon in the hands of this young master is also a sharp knife like Hong Siye, "The man I killed yesterday , is also the leader of the White Horse Battalion, and has the same saber technique as Hong Siye." Although he didn't know who he killed, Teng Qingshan understood...

What I killed was not the young master, because the young master was right in front of my eyes.

"Any man who can lift five hundred catties is eligible to join the White Horse Camp! If one joins, the annual fee will be reduced by 20%, and if two join, the annual salary will be reduced by 40%... As long as you are here, five people can join the White Horse Camp! Then, from now on, your Tengjiazhuang's annual fee will be waived!" The cavalry shouted loudly.

Immediately, there was an uproar of discussion in the martial arts training ground.

But Hong Zhenjie, the young master, was riding on a war horse, scanning the group of people as if the emperor was inspecting the people under his command.

"Huh?" Hong Zhenjie's eyes fell on a very handsome girl behind Teng Qingshan. She was dressed in a patterned cloth dress and looked plain, but her face was pale and red, as if water could be squeezed out with a pinch. She looked young. , still wearing a ponytail, a little green. But the bulging breasts and tall figure showed that this beautiful girl had already matured.

Hong Zhenjie's eyes lit up involuntarily.
