Chapter 114, I have a knife that cuts Zhou Tianhan
Qian Duguan, the leader of the Hanshui School, nicknamed "Double Knife", is a martial arts expert, but even more powerful in business and connections. He is said to be the richest man in Xiangyang, with a huge fortune.
Naturally, this kind of wealthy and powerful man is not someone that ordinary people can meet just by wanting to.
However, considering Ouyang Feng's reputation as the man who killed Yu Wenzhi and was wanted by the Sui court and had a reward offered by the Yuwen clan, he was eligible to sign up for a visit.
"What? Ouyang Feng came to visit?"
When Qian Duguan heard the news from a little deacon sent by Hanshui, he felt terrible:
"Which Ouyang Feng?"
"That's Ouyang Feng." The steward was sweating and his voice was full of nervousness and fear. "Ouyang Feng, who killed Yu Wenhuaji in Danyang, was wanted by the Sui court and the Yuwen clan offered a huge reward!"
"..." Qian Duguan was speechless for a while, "We have never met before, and I am not a lackey of the Sui court, so why did Ouyang Feng come to see me?"
"Perhaps he has heard of Longtou's reputation for being generous and magnanimous, and is here to beg for help? After all, he is wanted by the sea now, so money may not be easy to come by."
"A great master who can fight Yu Wenzhi head-on needs help? If he just robs a few wealthy people, won't that be enough for him to squander?"
Qian Duguan glared at the deacon, pondered for a while, and said:
"What's his attitude?"
"Pretty kind, huh?"
"If you are so kind, why are you so frightened?"
"Longtou, that was the murderer who killed Yu Wenzhi! How can I not be afraid when he suddenly stands in front of me with a kind face?"
Qian Duguan was speechless again.
"Longtou, please give me a clear answer whether you want to see me or not. Otherwise, what if he gets impatient waiting outside and rushes in?"
"..."
Qian Duguan glared at the deacon and said:
"Invite him to the lobby! No, call Jin Bo and Ling Feng over first, then invite Ouyang Feng to the lobby!"
After the deacon left, Qian Duguan pondered for a while, took his usual double swords to the lobby, hid the swords behind his chair, and walked out of the lobby door, pretending to welcome him.
After a while, his right and left hands "Fat Demon" Jin Bo and "Gold and Silver Spear" Ling Feng rushed over with their respective weapons.
"Longtou, I heard that Ouyang Feng, who killed Yu Wenzhi, is here?"
"Dragon Head, I'm afraid that we three alone can't defeat that kind of vicious person. How about gathering more people and calling all the elite disciples in the sect to come and besiege him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qian Duguan glared at the two of them. "They came to visit politely, not to attack. Our Hanshui Sect is a great sect. How can we be so rude to such a hero in the martial arts world?"
Holding a solid iron rod, the chubby Jin Bo looked puzzled:
"Then why did you call us here?"
"Please be at peace." Qian Duguan said expressionlessly, "You two, put your weapons inside the house. Also, don't look so hostile, be kind, smile, and don't bring disaster to this leader."
Jin Bo and Ling Feng looked at each other, turned back to the lobby, put their weapons on the weapon racks, and when they came out again, they forced out a fairly friendly smile.
Not long after they waited, the three saw the deacon who had reported the news just now, nodding and bowing, walking over with two people.
One of them was a tall, upright, heroic, handsome and extraordinary young man in white, and the other was a slender woman in a purple shirt, a veiled hat, a sword at her waist. Although her face was covered by a veil and her appearance could not be seen clearly, judging from her demeanor, she did not seem to be a simple person.
Seeing these two people, Qian Duguan immediately smiled and greeted them with a bow:
"Yu Wenzhi was Yang Guang's lackey. I don't know how many evil things he did for the tyrant. The people of the world have suffered from Yu Wenzhi for a long time. The hero Ouyang took action to kill Yu Wenzhi. It is really gratifying! Qian Duguan has long admired the hero Ouyang's reputation. After meeting him today, I realized that hearing about him is not as good as meeting him in person, and meeting him in person is even better than hearing about him!"
Jin Bo and Ling Feng also hurriedly followed, bowing and greeting:
"Jin Bo and Ling Feng greet Hero Ouyang."
I, Ouyang Feng, have actually become a “hero”!
Ouyang Feng was in a somewhat subtle mood.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Qian Duguan and the other two were so enthusiastic, so he couldn't put on a cold face. He bowed in return and smiled kindly:
"Qian Longtou is too polite. I have always heard that Qian Longtou is a man of generosity and righteousness. After meeting him today, I can see that he is indeed a man of great reputation."
After a few compliments and polite remarks, Qian Duguan extended his hand to invite Ouyang Feng and Shan Wanjing into the hall.
After the host and the guest sat down, Qian Duguan called the maid to serve tea and cakes. Seeing that Ouyang Feng did not explain his purpose, Qian Duguan took the initiative to talk about Yu Wenhua and related matters:
"I heard that Yu Wenzhi was ordered by the tyrant emperor to search for the 'Eternal Life Secret' and had made some progress, and was almost able to obtain it. Fortunately, the hero Ouyang killed him. Otherwise, if he had really obtained the Secret of Immortality and presented it to the tyrant emperor, allowing him to cultivate the art of immortality, the world would have been in turmoil and the people would have been in dire straits forever."
Ouyang Feng smiled calmly, "The Secret of Immortality is not something that ordinary people can cultivate. Even if Yang Guang got the Secret of Immortality, I'm afraid he can't cultivate the art of immortality."
"Master Ouyang is right. Throughout history, all the pure cultivators have stayed away from the secular world and cultivated in the mountains. Yang Guang was a great master of wine, sex, money and anger. He must be blind to dare to desire immortality. But speaking of which, Qian recently heard that someone has already mastered the secret of immortality."
"Oh?" Ouyang Feng asked, "Who has mastered it?"
"It is said that they were two guys from Yangzhou who were being hunted by Yu Wenzhi. They called themselves the Twin Dragons of Yangzhou. One of them was Kou Zhong and the other was Xu Ziling. They got the Secret of Immortality before Yu Wenzhi. It was because Yu Wenzhi was hunting them that he ran into the hero Ouyang."
Qian Duguan glanced at Ouyang Feng's face and said with a smile:
"There is a rumor that the two Yangzhou guys have won the favor of the Goguryeo Rakshasa woman, and obtained clues about Yang Gong's treasure house from her... I wonder if Hero Ouyang has heard of this?"
"Yang Gong's treasure house..."
Ouyang Feng didn't know why he brought up this matter. He took a sip from the teacup and nodded calmly:
"Have heard a little bit."
"If you can get one of the He family jade disc and Yang Gong's treasure house, you can get the world."
Qian Duguan sighed:
"This rumor is now widely spread in the martial arts world. I don't know how many ambitious heroes are actively pursuing the whereabouts of these two. It is rumored that the Heshi Bi is in the hands of Cihang Jingzhai. Frightened by Jingzhai's reputation, the heroes dare not make any plans. However, Yang Gong's treasure house is now ownerless, and the heroes of the world want to get it as soon as possible. The Goguryeo Rakshasa woman has the secret of the treasure house and has become the target of public criticism. It's ridiculous that she is still unaware of it and dares to wander around the Central Plains, losing her life in vain..."
Upon hearing this, Shan Wanjing suddenly asked in surprise:
"Rakshasa woman is dead?"
Qian Duguan nodded and said:
"That's right. It is said that for unknown reasons, Luosha wanted to take Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to Luoyang. When they passed through Xingyang, they were attacked and died of their injuries. Some say it was Li Mi of Wagang, some say it was Yang Xuyan, the 'shadow assassin' who has become famous in recent years, and some say it was done by a master of the court. In short, there are many different opinions and no consensus."
Going to Luoyang?
The Rakshasa woman was probably planning to take Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to Chang'an to get Yang Gong's treasure house and bring great wealth to her two sons, right?
The so-called going to Luoyang is probably just a deliberate attempt to confuse people.
Ouyang Feng pondered in his heart.
Shan Wanjing sighed:
"It's a pity that I haven't had enough fun with her yet."
She wanted to wait until the Rakshasa woman recovered from her injuries before having a fair fight with her, but she didn't expect that she would die just like that.
Fortunately, I heard from the teacher that Fu Cailin has not only one female Rakshasa Fu Jun'er under his tutelage, but also two other disciples. Although they are ranked below Fu Jun'er, their swordsmanship seems to be better than Fu Jun'er's. If there is a chance, I can challenge them to a competition.
At this time Ouyang Feng asked:
"After the death of the Rakshasa woman, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling mastered the art of immortality?"
"That's right. It is said that after Fu Jun'er was attacked, she did not die on the spot, and fled to Songshan with Kou Xu, and has been missing since then. When Kou Xu came out of Songshan, he already had innate true energy. Although his power was not deep, it was extremely pure. People who had contact with them speculated that they might have cultivated the secret of longevity, otherwise, at their age, it would be impossible for them to have innate true energy as soon as they started practicing martial arts. And because of their close relationship with Luosha, everyone guessed that before Luosha died, she told them the secret vault of Yang Gong's treasure house."
"I see." Ouyang Feng nodded slowly, "Qian Longtou is really well-informed. But why did Qian Longtou tell me about this?"
It was not surprising that Qian Duguan was well-informed, after all, he was a member of the Yingui Sect. And with the Yingui Sect's powerful intelligence network that used brothels all over the world and even had undercover agents in the imperial palace, it was probably difficult for any secret in the world to be hidden from the Yingui Sect.
However, Ouyang Feng was somewhat puzzled when Qian Duguan told him the news.
The friendship between the two of them isn't that deep, right?
Qian Duguan smiled and said:
"The reason why I told this to Master Ouyang is because I know that Master Ouyang had dealt with that Rakshasa woman and those two Yangzhou boys in Danyang. At that time, Song Shidao, the son of the Song family, was also present. I thought that Master Ouyang might be interested in the current situation of those three people, so I took this opportunity to ask Master Ouyang for a favor."
"Qian Longtou is thoughtful." Ouyang Feng said calmly, "I am indeed slightly interested in this news. I wonder what favor Qian Longtou wants to ask of me?"
"It's like this. Recently, there is a Turk named Ba Fenghan. It is said that he killed the eldest disciple of Wu Zun Bi Xuan. He couldn't survive in the grassland and fled to the Central Plains. But this guy was not at peace in the Central Plains. He challenged people everywhere, and his attacks were extremely cruel. Anyone who was challenged by him was considered lucky if he was injured or disabled. Most of them were killed by him. Among the victims was Qian's good friend, Jiang Ba, the leader of the Dajiang Alliance. Qian wanted to avenge his friend, but Ba Fenghan was very skilled in martial arts and very slippery. He slipped away twice when Qian organized a siege. Moreover, he became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more difficult to kill him..."
Hearing this, Ouyang Feng understood what he meant:
"Qian Longtou wants me to kill Ba Fenghan?"
Qian Duguan smiled and said:
"Qian, I'm sorry to ask Master Ouyang for help. After all, we are warriors from the Central Plains. How can we allow the Turkic barbarians to kill us at will? If Master Ouyang can kill the Turkic barbarian, Qian is willing to reward him with a generous gift. Dajiang League will also definitely offer a generous reward."
Tsk, one by one, they all want to hire me as a killer. Do I look like such a bloodthirsty person?
Although Ba Fenghan's martial arts skills are good, they have not yet fully developed. With his current skills, even if Ouyang Feng is about the same age as him, he is still bullying the weak.
Having said that, Ba Fenghan's martial arts were purely honed through killing and he was particularly good at life-and-death fights. He could serve as a whetstone for Shan Wanjing and help her accumulate some resources to kill Bian Bufu.
At that moment, Ouyang Feng scraped off the foam with the lid of the teacup and said calmly:
"I can accept this. But I don't need any reward from Qian Longtou or Dajiang Lian. I just need Qian Longtou to send me a message."
Qian Duguan was cheered up:
"what news?"
Ouyang Feng said calmly:
"The whereabouts of Yin Gui Sect elder, Mo Yin Bian Bufu."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Bo and Ling Feng's expressions changed slightly - these two people also have a close relationship with the Yingui Sect. Although they are not formal disciples of the Yingui Sect, they can be regarded as the backbone of the outer circle.
Qian Duguan remained calm and said with a puzzled look:
"Where did you get this from, Hero Ouyang? Although I have heard a little about the Yingui Sect due to my large business and wide network of contacts, I am a serious businessman. I founded the Hanshui Sect for business and have never dealt with such a sinister, treacherous, mysterious and evil sect. Hero Ouyang came to me to inquire about the whereabouts of the elders of the Yingui Sect, but..."
"Qian Longtou." Ouyang Feng interrupted him and said seriously, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not discussing this with you."
"Hero Ouyang..."
Qian Duguan had just said four words when his eyes suddenly bulged and a look of shock and astonishment appeared on his face.
Not only him, but Jin Bo and Ling Feng, who had been staring at Ouyang Feng nervously, also had their eyes wide open, with expressions of shock and confusion.
Because Ouyang Feng suddenly had a knife in his hand.
A long sword with a blade texture like snowflakes, about three feet and seven inches long from head to tail.
How come there is a knife?
When he came in just now, he was clearly unarmed, and the woman in purple beside him was only carrying a sword. How did he produce such a big knife?
"Money dragon head."
Qian Guan and the other two were just in shock when Ouyang Feng stood up with his knife in hand.
"I've heard that Qian Longtou is good at using two swords, and he is a rare sword master in the martial arts world today. I also have a sword, please let Qian Longtou appreciate it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Feng raised his hand, swung his sword, and slashed.
When Ouyang Feng raised his sword, Qian Duguan's hands had already reached behind the chair like lightning to take his two swords.
Jin Bo and Ling Feng stood up and flew towards the weapon rack, trying to take their weapons.
However, when the three of them were halfway through their action, an inexplicable chill spread out, filling the entire hall.
This chill not only penetrated into the bones, but also reached the mind. When the chill came, Qian Duguan, Jin Bo and Ling Feng all stopped moving, their whole bodies were cold, their teeth were chattering, and their souls were also frozen by the chill, and it seemed that even their thoughts were having difficulty functioning.
The shocking cold sword technique, the three ultimate killings, the whole body is freezing!
Zheng——
When the three men paused, a pleasant sound of swords rang out, and a three-meter-long cold sword light burst out from Ouyang Feng's sword and slashed straight down.
The blade slashed down from top to bottom, passing over the beams, brushing the roof, and slashing across the wall behind Qian Duguan, then slashing across the small table beside him, and finally falling to the ground.
The fight ended with one strike, and the blade light faded.
But the house was still chilly, like an ice cave.
Qian Duguan, Jin Bo and Ling Feng looked up tremblingly, and saw that a straight crack had been cut into the beams and the roof. The crack was filled with ice crystals, and both sides were covered with frost, which froze the crack and prevented the beams from breaking on the spot and the roof from collapsing immediately.
Looking back at the wall behind Qian Duguan, there was also a knife mark running from the top of the wall straight down to the corner, cutting through the entire wall. Through the ice crystals in the knife mark, one could vaguely see the scenery outside. On both sides of the knife mark, there were also dense frost marks.
The table beside Qian Duguan, including the teacup on the small table, was also neatly split into two, but they were all glued together by ice crystals and did not fall down immediately. Most of the tea in the cup was also frozen into ice.
Finally, a straight crack more than a foot deep appeared on the ground beside Qian Duguan, extending to Ouyang Feng's front.
Qian Duguan swallowed his saliva, recalling the coldness that froze his body and mind when Ouyang Feng raised the knife, making him unable to even react. Then, looking at the damage caused by the knife, his face gradually turned pale, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his fingertips began to tremble.
Jin Bo and Ling Feng no longer dared to move. They stood still and looked at Ouyang Feng as if he were a ghost.
Even Shan Wanjing, who had long known that the master's martial arts skills were unfathomable, was seeing him use the killing move "Zhou Tian Han Che" for the first time. She couldn't help but be shocked by the power of the knife. Her mouth opened slightly, her eyes wide open, and her eyes were full of shock.
"Money dragon head."
Ouyang Feng had one hand behind his back and the other holding a knife. His back was straight, his figure was majestic, his eyes were calm and deep, and his tone was calm:
"How about my knife?"
Qian Duguan was facing Ouyang Feng, and saw that the other party's figure was like a huge mountain, casting an indescribable huge shadow in his heart. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva again, and forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying, and said in a trembling voice:
"Master Ouyang's swordsmanship is something I have never seen or heard of before. It is as powerful as a god swinging an axe, enough to shock ghosts and gods... Even Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, is probably no better than this."
Although he was terrified, Qian Duguan couldn't help but display his eloquent businessman qualities.
"Qian Longtou is indeed worthy of his reputation as a man of many talents."
Ouyang Feng said calmly:
"But Qian Longtou is a smart man, so why would he risk his life for others? Give me information about Bian Bufu's whereabouts, and the agreement with Ba Fenghan is still valid. If you don't tell me, I will kill you first and then ask Jin Bo and Ling Feng."
"Wait a minute, do it!"
Qian Duguan knew that Ouyang Feng would kill anyone like Yu Wenhua and other powerful people with top backgrounds, so he would not even blink an eye when it came to killing a small Xiangyang tyrant like him, Qian Duguan.
As a disciple of the Demon Sect, Qian Duguan did not have the integrity to sacrifice himself for others. If it was for the Queen of Yin, he could still grit his teeth and persevere, but Bian Bufu...
Then forget it.
"Captain Bian...Bian Bufu may go to Dongping County soon."
"Maybe?" Ouyang Feng's eyes were slightly cold, "Is Qian Longtou fooling me?"
"How dare I?" Qian Duguan said with a wry smile, "Master Ouyang, please allow me to report that Bian Bufu is a sex-hungry ghost who is extremely keen on beauty. He also calls himself a romantic and famous scholar and likes to show off his elegance. In the near future, a peerless beauty with both beauty and talent will arrive in Dongping County. Bian Bufu will take this opportunity to join in the fun."
"Oh? What kind of stunning beauty could attract Bian Bufu to come?"
"Have you ever heard of Shi Qingxuan, Mr. Ouyang?"
"..."
Ouyang Feng and Shan Wanjing were both slightly startled.
Shan Wanjing sneered and shouted:
"Qian Duguan, you are so bold that you still dare to talk nonsense now? Shi Qingxuan is the daughter of the evil king Shi Zhixuan. Who among the well-informed people in the martial arts world doesn't know about this? Even if Bian Bufu is so bold and lustful, how dare he set his sights on Shi Qingxuan?"
Qian Duguan bowed to Shan Wanjing and said sincerely:
"My dear aunt, I'm not lying this time. Since you know Shi Qingxuan's background, you should know that besides being the most beautiful woman in the world, she also has a divine flute skill. People at that time called her the 'Flute Goddess'. The great scholar Wang who lived in Dongping County celebrated his birthday and invited Shi Qingxuan to perform at his home. As Bian Bufu was a self-proclaimed romantic and pretentious person, even if he didn't dare to touch a hair of Shi Qingxuan, he still wanted to listen to her flute music and take a look at the beauty to satisfy his eyes."
After hearing what he said, Shan Wanjing couldn't help but feel half-doubtful and half-believing, and turned her head to look at Ouyang Feng.
"When is Wang Tong's birthday party?"
"Replying to Hero Ouyang, there are still more than twenty days to go."
"That's enough time for you to notify Bian Bufu and tell him that I'm looking for him, right?"
"This...Qian doesn't dare."
The long sword in Ouyang Feng's hand disappeared, and he turned and walked away with a flick of his sleeves, saying lightly:
"It doesn't matter if you notify him. The Hanshui Sect is in Xiangyang anyway, and you are a pawn of the Yingui Sect, stationed in Xiangyang under the order of the Queen Yin. You can't run away even if you want to. So, Qian Longtou had better pray to the gods and pray that my trip will not be in vain..."
Seeing his long sword disappear out of thin air again, Qian Duguan was already nervous at first because of this miraculous trick. Hearing the unfinished meaning in Ouyang Feng's words, his heart suddenly jumped. He quickly shouted:
"Master Ouyang, Bian Bufu never goes out alone. Whenever he goes out, he is accompanied by an elder. Bian Bufu is a man of elegance and pleasure. He will definitely take a luxurious boat loaded with beautiful maids and prostitutes from the Grand Canal to Weishan Lake, and then go to Dongping County through Weishan Lake."
"Thank you Qian Longtou for telling me." Ouyang Feng said without turning his head, "Qian Longtou, don't worry. As long as I really meet Bian Bufu in Dongping County, no matter what the final result is, I will not bother Qian Longtou again."
After receiving this promise, Qian Duguan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He exchanged a glance with Jin Bo and Ling Feng, and then looked at the horrific knife marks running through the beams, roof, walls and ground. They all couldn't help but reveal a hint of relief at surviving the disaster.
……
"Sir, that sword you used just now was so impressive. Just as Qian Duguan said, it was like a god swinging an axe, which could frighten ghosts and gods. How come I never saw you use it in the illusion before?"
"In the past, this sword was not powerful enough. It was not until I got the essence of 'Ice Mysterious Power' that I could truly unleash the power of this sword."
In fact, it is not just about obtaining the essence of "Ice Mysterious Power".
Also, because Ouyang Feng is more experienced in the use of Qi pressure, he can use the sword to emit a chill that goes straight to the mind and freezes the soul.
Of course, this is also because Qian Duguan and the other two are not strong enough.
The strongest Qian Duguan is about the same as Shang Gong, while Jin Bo and Ling Feng are slightly inferior to Qian Duguan.
If it were Yu Wenzhi, even if he didn't dare to take his sword head-on, at least he wouldn't be "frozen" mentally and unable to move.
"Sir, do you think what Qian Duguan said is true?"
"He shouldn't dare to joke with his own life."
"I also hope what he said is true. Wan Jing has known about Shi Qingxuan's flute art for a long time. Unfortunately, Shi Qingxuan lives in Shu and has only been active in Shu before. She has never left Shu. I have never been to Shu, so I have never had the opportunity to hear her peerless flute music."
“There’s a chance this time.”
"I heard that Shi Qingxuan is a rare beauty in ancient and modern times."
As she said this, Shan Wanjing secretly glanced at Ouyang Feng.
But Ouyang Feng didn't seem to be moved at all. For some reason, he felt relieved and secretly happy. He asked him:
"Sir, you are not interested in Shi Qingxuan?"
"What kind of interests do you mean?"
"It's just that men are interested in stunningly beautiful women."
"Interest is mutual. What's the point if I'm the only one interested? They may not think highly of me."
As he spoke, Ouyang Feng glanced at Shan Wanjing and said calmly:
"Do you really want me to be interested in Shi Qingxuan?"
"Uh……"
Shan Wanjing laughed dryly, "Well, I just asked casually."
"You still have time to think about these things. It seems that you have been very idle recently."
"This……"
"The illusion time for this month has come again. Twelve hours have not been used yet. I will find a place to practice in the illusion later, and let you experience the power of my 'Zhou Tian Han Che' for yourself."
"Sir, Wanjing is wrong!"
"late!"
"..."
……
From Xiangyang to Dongping County, it is about one thousand five hundred to six hundred miles.
If we only look at the distance, one thousand five hundred or six hundred miles is less than one-third of the distance from Huashan to the Western Regions. It is a piece of cake for masters like Ouyang Feng and Shan Wanjing.
However, the world is in turmoil now, with wars rising and rebel flags everywhere. Sui court officials and soldiers are fighting with various rebel forces, and there are bandits and thieves everywhere.
Therefore, Ouyang Feng and Shan Wanjing had a very uneasy journey. From time to time, they encountered a group of bandits who blocked the road and robbed them, or soldiers who became bandits after being defeated.
It was also their misfortune to meet Ouyang Feng and Shan Wanjing.
Don't think that Shan Wanjing is very well-behaved in front of Ouyang Feng, but her experience in the Demon Sect when she was a child and the blood inheritance engraved in her bones make Shan Wanjing very cruel and ruthless. No matter whether they are rebels, bandits, or soldiers, anyone who dares to target her and Ouyang Feng will be killed by her. Ouyang Feng almost watched the fight throughout and did not take any action.
As a result, along the way, he killed countless gangs of bandits, rebels, and disorderly soldiers. Ouyang Feng also gained a lot of gains, seizing more than ten standard military bows, about a hundred sets of Liangdang armor, and a set of ordinary heavy armor.
There are two styles of Liangdang armor: leather armor and iron armor.
Leather armor is just a pair of hard leather vests that can protect the chest and back. The defensive power is pretty good. It is good for blocking arrows at a long distance and can barely withstand sword and gun damage at a close distance, at least it can reduce the injuries.
Iron armor is made by inlaying iron plates on hard leather to add an extra layer of strong protection. Not only is the defense stronger, but the cost is also of course higher.
The Sui army had a very high armor rate.
For example, the Jinyang Palace, the temporary palace of the Sui emperor, stored 400,000 sets of armor. Later, when Li Yuan started the rebellion, Pei Ji, the deputy supervisor of the Jinyang Palace, gave all the 400,000 sets of armor to Li Yuan. And those 400,000 sets of armor were obviously mostly leather armor. No matter how rich the family was in the "Kaihuang Prosperous Era", and no matter how the Jinyang Palace arsenal was the first-line arsenal facing the Turks on the grassland, it was impossible to have 400,000 sets of iron armor.
Otherwise, Li Shimin's "Black Armored Iron Cavalry" would not have had only one thousand cavalry when it was first established, but at least three thousand cavalry, or even ten thousand cavalry.
No matter how many soldiers there are, Li Shimin can lead them.
For this reason, among the more than 100 sets of Liangdang armor seized by Ouyang Feng, 80% were leather armor and only 20% were iron armor.
However, the five hundred pieces of armor worth two liangdang that Shan Meixian presented to Ouyang Feng were all iron armor inlaid with iron plates, which is why Ouyang Feng praised her as "Madam is rich and generous."
Even though there were many obstacles along the way and the two were not in a hurry to travel, they only set out in the morning every day, rested at noon, and then practiced until night, and then set off again in the early morning of the next day. However, it only took them more than ten days to easily reach the shore of Weishan Lake.
The two found a small town by the lake and bought a small fishing boat. With Shan Wanjing, who was proficient in swimming and skilled in boatmanship, at the helm, they sailed towards Dongping County.
at the same time.
The Dongming Sect's giant ship, the Dongming, was also coming from the south, heading north along the canal towards Weishan Lake.
It must be said that the Sui court's control over the local areas has now declined to a point of utter deterioration.
This world in particular is an extraordinary world line that is completely different from Ouyang Feng’s previous life history.
When the Sui court was strong, it had the support of the four major clans and a large number of martial arts masters, so the people in the martial arts world did not dare to be too presumptuous.
But when the Sui court weakened, the four major clans each had their own plans and some even harbored rebellious ambitions. Martial arts masters also began to look for other ways out and some even joined the rebellion. The people in the martial arts world lost their restraint and became even more arrogant than the various rebel forces.
International arms dealers like the Dongming Sect, who sell weapons to all forces equally, used to only dare to make deliveries along the coast, but now they dare to drive large ships loaded with weapons and swagger into the territory of the Sui Dynasty to deliver goods to various forces.
Shan Meixian came to Weishan Lake this time, firstly to deliver goods to Xu Yuanlang's Shandong volunteer army, and secondly, she had heard that Shi Qingxuan would come to Dongping County to celebrate the birthday of the great scholar Wang Tong, so she came to join in the fun and meet the daughter of an old friend - it is said that as the saint of the Yingui Sect, her original duel opponent was Shi Qingxuan's mother Bi Xiuxin.
However, at that time, Shi Zhixuan was extremely powerful, and his "Immortal Seal" was so terrifying that Bi Xiuxin had no choice but to "feed the demon with her own body" and tie Shi Zhixuan down.
Shan Meixian was raped by Bian Bufu and her mother Zhu Yuyan did not stand up for her, so she began to turn away from the Demon Sect.
The two rivals who were supposed to have fought for many years never really fought each other in the end.
Now Bi Xiuxin is dead, Shan Meixian has gone overseas to start a business, and they both have daughters. Thinking about the past, Shan Meixian couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that if she is lucky this time, maybe she can not only meet the daughter of an old friend, but also find her own daughter.
After all, his daughter has heard of Shi Qingxuan's fame for a long time. If she knew the news from Dongping County, she might come over to join in the fun.
Thinking of her own daughter, Shan Meixian couldn't help but think of Ouyang Feng again.
The mysterious Mr. Ouyang, who was suspected to have "supernatural powers", had just arrived in the Central Plains and had done a big thing. He actually fought and killed the famous Yu Wenzhi outside the city of Danyang.
Nearly two months have passed since this incident, and Ouyang Feng's reputation and achievements have spread throughout the world with the Sui court's arrest warrant and the Yuwen clan's reward. He is known as the number one young master in the world, ranking even higher than the amorous young man Hou Xibai and the shadow assassin Yang Xuyan who have become famous in recent years.
When she thought about how her daughter had been following Mr. Ouyang for so long, Shan Meixian couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Mr. Ouyang is handsome, elegant, powerful and mysterious, which has a fatal attraction to a girl of Wanjing's age.
I don’t know if my daughter will still be virgin when I see her again... Well, that’s not important, since Wanjing doesn’t practice the Heavenly Demonic Skills anyway.
