The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17 Dragon City Dagger
When Liu Chan and Ma Liang came to the Juyi Hall, they saw that the clothes on Zhang Fei hadn't been changed in time, and they were covered with blood, which must be because of the killing of many people last night.However, at this time, Zhang Fei's face had long since lost the hostility of the charge, and it was full of cheerful smiles.

When Zhang Fei saw the two people coming, he happily called them to hurry over.Liu Chan trotted to Zhang Fei's side, but was rushed by an extremely unpleasant smell on his body. He couldn't bear it at once, and quickly backed away—this should be the smell of sweat mixed with blood. It makes people feel sick to think about it, let alone being "influenced" by it!

Liu Chan didn't want to approach Zhang Fei even if he was killed. He frowned and said, "Third Uncle, you smell really bad! I can't pass."

Zhang Fei chuckled. He was in a very good mood today and didn't mind Liu Chan's nonsense. He took out a book from the case and handed it to Ma Liang.Ma Liang took it and saw that there were two words "account book" written on it.

Ma Liang is a very self-cultivated person. Although he knew that every word and every word recorded in it was related to wealth, he didn't show any strange expression on his face.After he flipped through the book, he only showed a slight smile, and he really had the demeanor of "a gentleman who is not surprised by favor or humiliation".

Then Ma Liang said to Zhang Fei: "Congratulations to General Zhang for his great service. There are a lot of supplies hidden in this small Baling village. Excluding the grain in Zaonan Village, there are still 500 stones and 4000 million coins here." .There is also a Hyogo, which contains more than [-] pieces of various weapons!"

When Liu Chan heard these numbers, he immediately felt frightened.No matter how powerful this Yellow Turban army remnant is, it is unlikely that they will hoard so much food, right? 20000 shi is equivalent to 120 million catties of grain for future generations!I'm afraid it's enough for the Jingzhou military to use for more than half a year!
In this chaotic era of the Three Kingdoms, nothing is so great, only food is king.If you have food, you can recruit refugees, and if you have food, you can form an army to conquer the city and become the overlord of one party!Liu Chan quickly asked Zhang Fei, why is there so much food here?Zhang Fei just shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Ma Liang said thoughtfully: "Although Jingzhou has fertile land and abundant products, but the recent years of wars have caused the people's livelihood to decline. These thieves probably won't be able to grab so much food."

Zhang Fei nodded and agreed again.

But Liu Chan suddenly laughed, and said rather rascally: "I don't care how the food came from, anyway, we have found the food now, so it belongs to us!"

Ma Liang also laughed, and said, "My lord makes sense. Although Liu Zhang helped me enter Xichuan this time, the war that lasted for several years also consumed a lot of grain and grass in Jingzhou. The supplement of these grains can just solve the problem Urgent."

In fact, Liu Chan also has doubts about the origin of these grains, but these things are beyond his control.After returning to Jiangling City, Ma Jichang would naturally report to Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu.Even if Ma Jichang didn't say it, with Zhuge Liang's superhuman wisdom and Guan Yu's experienced experience, wouldn't he be able to discover that there must be something wrong?

Liu Chan suddenly remembered a wise saying from the Ming Dynasty: It is rare to be confused.He is too young now, he needs to recharge his energy and learn a lot from the capable advisers around him.When the wings are full, that is when he will soar into the sky.

Therefore, Liu Chan turned his mind to the military storehouse and said, "Third Uncle, since there are so many spoils in Baling Mountain, my nephew's contribution this time is not insignificant, can I take my nephew to the treasury to have a look? "

"Of course!" Zhang Fei immediately agreed and asked Ma Liang to go with him.Because the money and food in the treasury still need to be counted by his hands.In fact, this is probably one of the reasons why Guan Yu sent Ma Liang to bring reinforcements.

The three of them then headed towards the treasury.

The place where the supplies are hoarded is at the northernmost part of the entire cottage, and the location is very secret.Because to be precise, it is in a cave under the cliff.

After the cave has been excavated and expanded by manpower, it is entirely possible to hold ten thousand stones of grain!If the ventilation is good enough, or the environment inside is dry enough, caves can actually preserve food for a longer time than building buildings like granaries outside!
Liu Chan's previous life, Yang Hansheng, liked reading martial arts novels very much, and he was especially envious of those who found sword pools and sword mounds, which were full of magical weapons from all over the world, and one of them could often dominate the martial arts world.Of course Liu Chan doesn't want to dominate the martial arts world now, he just came to visit with a curious mood.Therefore, he asked Ma Liang to take people to the two places to count by himself, while he and Zhang Fei walked to Hyogo.

After entering Hyogo, I found that the space is very spacious, but those dazzling array of weapons almost dazzled Liu Chan's eyes.

In fact, most of the weapons here were completely unheard of and unseen things for Liu Chan, which immediately made him feel an unprecedented sense of excitement.

Liu Chan's eyes kept wandering inside, and finally fell on a strange long spear.This spear is about one foot two feet long, and the head of the spear is as powerful as a giant tiger's head. Even the barrel of the spear is as thick as a bowl. I'm afraid there are fifty catties.

Liu Chan knew that Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear should be a long weapon like a gun, and he should be more familiar with it than anyone else, so he pointed to the gun and asked Zhang Fei what kind of gun it was.

Zhang Fei walked over, easily took it off the shelf with only one arm, shook it lightly, and told Liu Chan that it was a tiger-headed gun with enough weight.This kind of weapon can kill the enemy on horseback, and it can also be used in foot combat. It is a very good weapon.

"Zhao Feng also wields a gun, so I will reward him with this gun. I don't know if he can use it." Liu Chan said.

For many years, Zhao Feng has been responsible for protecting Liu Chan's safety.The assassin who assassinated Sun Shangxiang and Liu Chan was also subdued by Zhao Feng.Although his behavior is usually a bit rigid, the friendship between the two is still pretty good.So when Liu Chan saw this gun, he immediately thought of Zhao Feng.

Zhang Fei smiled slightly, put the tiger-head gun back on the shelf, and said, "Then why don't you ask him to come over and try it for yourself later?"

Liu Chan nodded and continued to visit.In the following time, whenever he came across something he was interested in, he would ask Zhang Fei about it.Zhang Fei answered all of them patiently.

Later, in front of so many various weapons, Liu Chan himself felt itchy.He told Zhang Fei about the assassination of Sun Shangxiang, and said that he also wanted to find a weapon to defend himself.

Zhang Fei looked Liu Chan up and down, stretched out his hand and gestured for Liu Chan's height, but he still couldn't reach his chest, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "You are so small, and your body is not strong enough, so you want to take a weapon? But, it's just you For this body shape, a dagger should be more suitable."

Liu Chan called Dashan directly.A dagger is only one or two inches long, and it is extremely light in weight, making it easy to hide on the body.Back then, Wei Xiaobao in "The Deer and Ding Tale", didn't he rely on his dagger to overshadow many martial arts masters!Thinking of this, Liu Chan couldn't help laughing smugly.

Seeing Liu Chan's weird smile, Zhang Fei asked curiously, "Adou, what are you giggling about? What's so funny?"

Liu Chan quickly said: "It's nothing, third uncle help me find if there is a dagger inside?"

Zhang Fei looked around the room with his eyes wide open, and then he said indifferently, "There should be only weapons for fighting in here, so why would there be any daggers?" In fact, a general like him doesn't even bother What dagger to use.Even in his view, the dagger is a "hidden weapon" used by the villain to attack, and it is not at all aboveboard.

But Zhang Fei was wrong. After Liu Chan called two guards outside the door to help him rummage through the boxes, he actually let them dig out a short knife about fifteen centimeters long from a pile of long swords.

This short knife does not seem to be a Central Plains style weapon.Both the scabbard and the handle are curved, and the surface is jet black, with a picture of a knight and a galloping horse engraved on it, especially a red gemstone inlaid in the middle of the scabbard, which is very valuable.

Looking at the painting of knights, Liu Chan thought of Mongolian knights, and realized that this might be a dagger made by nomads. Because it is very expensive, it was collected in this armory.

"It's so beautiful!" Liu Chan asked the guard to draw out the dagger and give it to him.

I saw that the blade of the short knife was as black as thick ink like the scabbard, and the sharp blade at the end was slightly tilted upwards, which made people feel a heavy oppression from the knife at first sight!
Liu Chan walked to the shelf next to it, and stroked it lightly, the plank was cut off easily!

"Good knife!" Liu Chan praised.

"The material of this dagger is made of black iron. It may be the famous dagger of the Dragon City of the Western Regions in history. And seeing the gems inlaid on it, it may have been used by a high-ranking official!" Someone outside the door suddenly said.Liu Chan and Zhang Fei turned around and saw that it was Ma Liang who had arrived.

Liu Chan said happily: "Mr. Ma knows the origin of this knife?"

Ma Liang talked eloquently: "I don't dare to say I know it, but I just heard about it. When I was a big man in the Western Regions, the foreigners there liked to fight with scimitars, and they also liked to hide daggers on their bodies. Among them, the Dragon City dagger The most famous. Its shape is just like the dagger in your hand. That's why I guessed it."

"Mr. Ma is really knowledgeable! Then this dagger will be called the Dragon City Dagger from now on. Third Uncle, my nephew will accept it first!" Liu Chan said with a smile.

"You don't know how to be polite!" Zhang Fei also laughed.

Then, Liu Chan put away the dagger, just like Wei Xiaobao, hiding the Dragon City dagger inside his boots.It's a pity that he was wearing cloth shoes, not long boots, so he couldn't hide them at all.

Later, under Ma Liang's reminder, Liu Chan had no choice but to fasten it around his waist and cover it with a layer of clothes, so it was not easy to be seen through.
