2544 A Happy Event
Making it up?
Shu Tianci didn't want to pay attention to him, but came to Eunuch Qi's side excitedly, his voice trembling extremely: "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true, Your Majesty, try it yourself!" Eunuch Qi hurriedly opened the tray covered with red brocade in the hands of the two guards behind him, and saw an ordinary dagger placed in the tray. The blade was tough and flashy. Under the cold light, there were a lot of weapons placed in the other tray, including long knives, long swords, and some small daggers. It looked like they were forged on a daily basis!
"Your Majesty, this is the weapon just forged from the Weapons Pavilion. This is the previous weapon. Inside..." Eunuch Qi paused, glanced at Xiao Yuanyao, and then said: "The first two weapons here are from Nanling. Please ask your Majesty. test!"
Shu Tianci was so excited that he looked at the weapons in the tray. He had seen Nanling's weapons countless times, but in the other tray, he had never seen a short but cold dagger. It looked like a dagger. Sharp, cold light suddenly appeared, like a shining sharp edge.
Above the main hall, the civil and military officials stretched their necks to look at the people above the main hall, and some even had their legs shaking with excitement.
The Qing Dynasty finally smelted iron and forged good weapons?
Really?
Shu Tianci couldn't believe it. He looked at the weapon for a long time, but he still couldn't lift his arm to pick it up. He was so afraid that this was another dream. After decades of dreaming, how could it suddenly come true?
Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Eunuch Qi knew what he was worried about and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I just tried it in the weapons pavilion. Don't worry!"
Shu Tianci glanced at the confident Eunuch Qi, and then finally picked up the dagger forged by them. The guard who came in picked up the iron sword forged by Nanling and placed it in front of Shu Tianci. Shu Tianci looked at it Looking at the dark iron sword, he looked at the dagger in his hand. After thinking about it, he finally made up his mind and slashed it with his eyes closed.
At this time, Jinluan Hall, where there had been discussions just now, finally became quiet, as quiet as if someone could hear a pin drop.
The ministers and the Nanling people headed by Xiao Yuanyao, whether they were excited or waiting to see a joke, stretched their necks to see if the dagger forged by the Qing Dynasty could cut off the iron sword of Nanling.
You know, in all these years, the Qing Dynasty has never forged or smelted any weapon that could cut the iron sword of the Qing Dynasty!
Xiao Yuanyao crossed his arms over his chest, a little restless. Can the Qing Dynasty smelt and forge better weapons than them? Absolutely impossible, iron smelting and forging was invented by them in Nanling. From the burning of iron ore to the final forging, every step has the wisdom of the craftsmen. In the past, Nanling had too much iron ore, enough to burn, and enough to waste. How much iron ore was purchased to achieve today's achievements.
Does the Qing Dynasty say it is successful? Can you also cut off their weapons? Are you more powerful than them?
Absolutely impossible!
Xiao Yuanyao seemed to be watching a joke. His arrogant and smug attitude made Shu Tianci a little unhappy. In order to suppress his spirit, Shu Tianci finally struck with the dagger in his hand.
There was a "clang" sound, and the sound of iron tools falling to the ground was extremely harsh in the silent Jinluan Hall.
Some timid ministers who had experienced these things for too long closed their eyes one by one. They couldn't bear to watch. They had experienced too many failures, and they failed again, and they were in front of King Nanling. The face of the Qing Dynasty will be lost to Java.
However, after waiting for a long time, they did not hear the Nanling people sneer, but they heard the deafening laughter of their emperor.
"Hahaha, hahaha..." Shu Tianci looked at the intact iron sword in his hand and smiled wildly and proudly.
The only thought in his mind at the moment was that they also had the iron tools, so there was no need for Anping to go and get married, no need!
King Nanling saw the iron sword broken on the ground, and then looked at the intact dagger in Shu Tianci's hand, with almost no nicks. He opened his pupils wide and looked surprised: "This... this... How can this be?"
Xiao Yuanyao knew how long it took Nanling to achieve its current achievements. They used almost half of the mountain's iron ore and spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to obtain the current iron smelting and forging technology.
Although the weapons forged before the Qing Dynasty were vulnerable to Nanling's weapons, they would also cause gaps in Nanling's weapons. However, the sword in Shu Tianci's hand was intact, not even a gap!
How can this be!
Shu Tianci looked at the intact sword in his hand, laughed with pride, looked at Xiao Yuanyao who was stunned, and said with a smile: "How is it? King Nanling, the weapons of our Qing Dynasty are better than those of Nanling. Yours is It seems that the Qing Dynasty no longer needs the recipe for smelting iron and forging!"
Xiao Yuanyao looked at the dagger in Shu Tianci's hand. He couldn't believe it was true. Thinking of another possibility, he said in a deep voice: "Emperor Qing, the game just now is not counted. The weapon just now was yours." Those who came here may have done something in advance, I don’t believe that the Qing Dynasty can be so powerful, and they can actually develop such superb iron and forging technology in just one day!"
"King Nanling, don't you believe it?" Shu Tianci said with a smile. When he spoke, his voice was trembling. On the one hand, he was happy because of the weapons forged by the Qing Dynasty. On the other hand, he had the same worries as Xiao Yuanyao. .
Could it be that Eunuch Qi had prepared this in advance, so he cut iron like clay?
Xiao Yuanyao smiled: "Of course I believe it, but I also have a sword here, which happens to be in front of all the civil and military officials. If I demonstrate it again, it will be even more convincing.
Got it! "
His eyes were as cold as ice. Although he was smiling, he was still as cold as ice. After all, he still didn't believe it!
Shu Tianci looked at Eunuch Qi, and saw that he had a calm face, not nervous or worried. His calm look seemed not to worry at all. With Eunuch Qi's silent encouragement, Shu Tianci was not as good as before. So nervous.
He raised the dagger in front of him and pointed it at Xiao Yuanyao: "King Nanling, please..."
