Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 30 All the calculations are not as fast as his sword

A middle-aged man wearing a black martial robe and an iron crown tied around his hair walked slowly over with a sneer on his face.

"I sensed it just now, and Zhang Erhe's cultivation level will never exceed the middle stage of the post-natal realm."

"You were no match for him back then because he had been training on the battlefield in Toyota County for three months and was filled with evil spirits."

"I think his evil spirit has been completely worn away now, and he no longer has the fighting power he once had."

The middle-aged man looked at Yao Gao and Fang Dahe and said calmly, "The remaining members of the Baichou Mountain Master were killed by the killer Black Tiger. Within a radius of 300 miles, my Sixth Master has no rivals anymore."

Yao Gao and Fang Dahe lowered their heads and dared not speak.

The person in front of him is from the Zhao family, and he is Zhao Changchun, the innate realm master known as the Cloud-Stepping Tiger.

Zhao Changchun is not only a powerful person in the Xiantian realm, but also has vicious means.

The Zhao family controls the Jiulin underworld, so it is not difficult for them to destroy the Eighteen Villages of Qingshan.

"Don't worry, my Sixth Master respects Zhang Erhe's loyalty, and he also thinks that you in Qingshan Village are all real men."

The middle-aged man in black robe smiled slightly and patted Yao Gao and Fang Dahe on the shoulders.

"My Zhao family wants Second Master to make a call, and Qingshan Village and my Zhao family will join forces to control the Jianghu within a 300-li radius."

"After this is done, you brothers can take the money and become rich men."

"Zhao is an experienced person, so he naturally understands that if one can live a peaceful life, who would want to become a bandit?"

Yao Gao's mouth trembled, but he didn't say anything.

"Well, you guys won't, will nothing happen to the Second Master?" Fang Dahe hesitated for a moment and spoke in a low voice.

“Haha, how could that be? My Sixth Master wants Second Master to be the leader of Jiulin and Qingshan…” The big man in black robe laughed, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the carriage frame that was going away.

Fang Dahe and Yao Gao lowered their heads and sighed helplessly.

On the other side, Kong Baitang walked out of Zhengjiazhuang with a few followers. When they reached the main road outside the manor, a blue-gray carriage pulled by two horses was already waiting there.

Kong Baitang climbed onto the carriage and stepped into the car. A young man in his thirties wearing half-length dark blue leather armor sat upright with a tall figure.

"how?"

The young man spoke, his tone calm.

Kong Baitang lowered his head slightly and recounted what happened at the banquet.

"Zhang Erhe isn't very cunning. I guess his mind is full of morality and ethics."

"Master Tao should be interested in this business."

"But this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and we can't act too hastily—"

Across from him, the young man in black armor placed his palm on the long sword placed on the small table in front of him.

He tapped his fingers lightly, and the atmosphere in the car became solemn.

"Kong Baitang, your Kong family can't get the iron pulley?"

"At the price I offer, people willing to take the iron rope pulley can line up all the way to Luyang Prefecture."

"If I hadn't seen you do so much for Dayan, do you think I would have given you this opportunity?"

The young man's voice was like ice.

Kong Baitang trembled all over and said quickly: "Mr. Xiao, please give me some time, please give me some time."

"Zhang Erhe is just a young boy. I can control him with some tricks."

"Don't worry, heroes have always been tempted by beautiful women, let alone someone who has never seen the world."

"My Kong family brought a few Buddhist women from Liangyuan Territory this time. We have a way, a way..."

……

On the road to Luyang Prefecture, the carriage frame swayed and the canopy creaked.

In the carriage, Zhang Yuan and Master Tao sat opposite each other.

Master Tao looked at Zhang Yuan, who was sitting opposite him, and chuckled, "Why didn't you just go with the flow and agree to Kong Baitang's request, then eradicate him and the Kong family completely?"

"According to your personality, you won't stay with anyone who plots against you." Zhang Yuan's righteousness has always been just a facade.

The real Zhang Yuan has always been decisive in killing and never drags his feet.

All the calculations are not as fast as his knife.

In fact, who among those who survived the three-month bloody battle in Toyota County was not decisive and ruthless?

Master Tao never hesitated when handling everything for Zhang Yuan.

"It's not just Kong Baitang." Zhang Yuan looked out the window at the rolling hills, his eyes gleaming with a glint. "The Kong family alone can't even touch the true secrets of the pulley."

"There must be a secret spy from the State of Yan."

Although he is only in his early twenties, his inner experience far exceeds his appearance.

The smile on Master Tao's face slowly faded, and he raised his hand and lifted up his left sleeve.

Inside the Confucian robe, a folding crossbow was tied to his forearm.

The difference of this crossbow is that there are two small steel wheels at the folding string point.

"A crossbow equipped with a pulley can pull a bow weighing three stones with the force of one stone."

"The strength of one bull can shoot a crossbow made of three bulls."

Master Tao gently pressed his palm on his arm, his eyes revealing a deep and uncontrollable enthusiasm.

"Once Great Qin is equipped with millions of powerful crossbows, we will be able to sweep across Yongtianzhou and unify the five kingdoms..."

The pulley and iron chain designed by Zhang Yuan based on his memory had already been sent to the foundry craftsmen of the Qin Ministry of Works through Zhou Chang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

At that time, more than ten craftsmen from the Daqin Ministry of Industry lived in Zhang Yuan's courtyard in Dingjia Lane for more than a month.

Casting pulleys and iron ropes is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in mastering the principles and how to find durable materials for forging.

The pulleys in Qingshan Village were all cast by the foundry engineers of the Ministry of Industry, firstly to experiment with casting materials, and secondly at Zhang Yuan's request.

Before Kong Baitang, some people had tried to cast iron cables and pulleys, but they were all unsuccessful because they could not bear the weight.

Either they break down after just a few uses, or they are unable to save enough effort and unload force.

Kong Baitang must have encountered this problem, so he went to Zhang Yuan and wanted to spend money to buy pulleys and iron ropes.

He didn't know that the people who cast these iron chains and pulleys were all in the Ministry of Works, and were now working hard to cast various pulleys used in military bows and crossbows.

"I went to see Wang Qinian. He has always wanted to move the Black Cavalry and feel the power of the Black Armored Cavalry's military formation." Zhang Yuan straightened his body and spoke out.

Wang Qinian, the chief officer of the Black Ice Platform in Luyang Prefecture, took only two years to advance from a ninth-rank spy to a sixth-rank officer, without ever engaging in combat himself.

This legend has spread throughout the Black Ice Terrace, and many people say that Wang Qinian does not even know the power of the Black Cavalry.

Wang Qinian also said several times in front of Zhang Yuan that he wanted to move against the Black Cavalry.

"You want to show the people of Qingshan Village a bit and shock them, right?" Young Master Tao smiled and shook his head, "You're still reluctant to throw this bag away."

Zhang Yuan did not refute.

Indeed, he just wanted to let these frogs in the well of Qingshan Village see that the reason why the Qin government did not destroy them was not because it did not have the ability to do so, but just to use the power of the martial arts world to maintain the bloodiness and courage of the warriors.

"But the Zhao family is stepping forward, this is an opportunity." Master Tao looked at Zhang Yuan, "The strength of that Cloud-Stepping Tiger is no weaker than the Baichou Mountain Master Yu Ceng who you killed."

"What do you think about using him to change the people's speculation about Black Tiger?"

The name of Black Tiger is among the top 100 elites, so there must be many martial arts masters pursuing him.

Master Tao now wants to transfer Zhang Yuan's identity as Black Tiger.

"That's not impossible." Zhang Yuan nodded. "Ordinary Jianghu hunting is no longer of much use to me. Innate Realm assassination missions are also very rare. This Black Tiger identity is really unnecessary."

"Moreover, it would be more interesting if the Black Armored Cavalry Commander of the Black Ice Platform of Luyang Prefecture led the Black Cavalry to kill Black Tiger." Master Tao's smile remained on his face, and his eyes shone with wisdom.

"This achievement is enough for Wang Qinian to be promoted to another level. You can also become the chief officer of the Black Ice Platform of Luyang Prefecture, in charge of the Black Ice Platform and Black Cavalry of the entire Luyang Prefecture."

　Guys, this book works.
