Silver Overlord - Chapter 856

[Chapter 823 News]

“Oh, a repeating crossbow that can shoot continuously, I have never seen such a thing before…” Zuo Yuquan said, and then walked over, took the repeating crossbow from the hand of the fat man named Mao, and looked at it carefully. , “This crossbow arm is made of steel…”

“Yes, yes, it is steel!”

“How can this steel be used as a crossbow arm?” Although Zuo Yuquan is an old man, he has never seen such a machine crossbow. , so he was very curious, and Xu Meng next to Yan Liqiang also surrounded him and looked at the repeating crossbow curiously.

“Guest officer, this steel is not ordinary steel, but spring steel produced by the Manufacturing Bureau. It has strong elasticity and is unique in the world!” explained the shopkeeper of the weapon shop.

“How do you use this continuous crossbow?”

“This is the crossbow rod. After shooting an arrow, as long as the crossbow rod is pulled back, it will be wound. The crossbow arrows are all in this box. It can hold more than ten crossbow arrows at a time, shoot an arrow in the blink of an eye, and pierce through leather armor within fifty steps. This is a big killer. We are going out this time, if we have such a crossbow arrow in our hands, I will. My heart is also much more at ease…” The fat man surnamed Mao explained, and gestured with his hand, “I also heard someone on the roadside that the Longya Army of Qi Yun’s superintendent and protector had equipped a large number of these things, and they could kill them. The sand dog was crying and howling, so I followed the weapon store to see it, but I didn’t expect that the store actually sells it…”

“This thing is good, but it’s a bit expensive!” Zuo Yuquan pondered, smiling at the shopkeeper. He smiled, “The shopkeeper, give me a real price, if this thing is easy to use, we can kill a few more sand dogs this time out of the customs, and we will also give you publicity, I don’t know how many rangers will come to your store in the future. Buying a crossbow from here…” The

shopkeeper gritted his teeth, “One hundred and eighty-six taels of silver, I’ll give you an extra quiver, it can’t be any lower…” The

tall, lanky man with a bow on his back put the bolt on his back. The crossbow slammed on the table, and said coldly, “I hate people who fool me the most. You say this and the price is the lowest, I believe, but if you let us know that there are people who use a lower price than this You bought a crossbow here, even if there is one less copper plate, I will smash your shop…”

Hearing this person say this, the shopkeeper’s face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd!

…

The last few people spent a few more minutes in the shop, cutting the price of this repeating crossbow down to one hundred and seventy taels, and asked the shopkeeper to send another 20 matching crossbow arrows. Finally, the fat man surnamed Mao paid for it. After taking the money, carefully put the crossbow in a special leather holster, and everyone left the store, while the shopkeeper was still sighing in the store.

In fact, the production cost of this repeating crossbow in the manufacturing bureau is less than 10 taels, and the wholesale price of the manufacturing bureau is 100 taels. The shopkeeper did not know where to get a few repeating crossbows to sell, and

it was almost the same. It was only sold after doubled, and it was sold for 170 taels, already making a lot of money.

Yan Liqiang smiled slightly in his heart, as expected, he was the one who bought but did not sell. The shopkeeper is also very good at doing business. He made dozens of others’ money with a single crossbow, but it was as if others took advantage of him.

“Where’s Jia Lang?” Zuo Yuquan asked after leaving the store.

“Jia Lang met two acquaintances just now. Those two acquaintances just came back from Gulang Prairie. I heard that they made a lot of money. Jia Lang went to those two people to chat and inquire about some news. Let’s go to the previous one first. Waiting for him at the restaurant, it may take a while, he will come to join us when he is done!” The fat man surnamed Mao carefully carried the crossbow on his back, then he looked at Yan Liqiang, “Brother Zuo , this is the little brother who is…”

“This is Wang Baoqiang’s brother, I just met, this time I came to Gulan Grassland alone!” Zuo Yuquan said, and then introduced the fat man surnamed Mao and the thin man to Yan Liqiang. The tall man with a bow back said, “Brother Wang, this is Mao Taishun, and he is also an old man who has been a ranger for more than ten years. He is loyal to others. This is Zhao Bing, and he is also a master of archery…”

Mao Taishun, there is such a name?

Yan Liqiang didn’t let himself laugh, but hugged the two of them, and the two of them also clenched their fists at Yan Liqiang, even if they knew each other.

Zhao Bing didn’t talk much, but the fat Mao Taishun squinted and smiled, “Haha, little brother, do you think my name is a bit strange, I can’t help it, this is the name my father gave me, I hope my life will be easier in the future. Be smooth, but I just like to toss, or I wouldn’t be a ranger…”

Yan Liqiang smiled stupidly and didn’t say anything.

“Jia Lang hasn’t come back yet, so let’s go to the restaurant and wait for him…” Zuo Yuquan said.

“Okay!” Several people nodded, and then five people came to a restaurant more than 200 meters away and waited for the person named Jia Lang to return.

It was almost an hour of waiting.

During this time, the five people found a seat by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, and chatted while waiting for someone. Zuo Yuquan and the others knew that Yan Liqiang’s archery cultivation had reached the triple heaven realm, and they were polite to Yan Liqiang. After a lot, I strongly invited Yan Liqiang to join, because of the five of them, although Zuo Yuquan and Zhao Bing could use bows, their archery cultivation was only the second level of archery.

There are too many archery masters around Yan Liqiang, and he has seen a lot of archery masters, so Yan Liqiang never thinks that the third and fourth or even the fifth heaven of the archery is great, because these people are in front of him. The value of life is the same as the value of arrows that can be bought with a dozen copper plates, but for ordinary rangers, the archery cultivation of Erzhongtian can accurately hit the target within 100 meters. , In fact, it’s pretty good, enough to walk around the rivers and lakes to deal with most of the scenes. As for the cultivation of the third-level archery, even if you enter the army, you still have a good future, at least the officers of the school lieutenant level, and many rangers with bows on their backs. , The archery cultivation base is even in the first layer or not yet in the stream, they don’t need to compare with any masters, as long as they can be stronger than ordinary archers and stronger than the weak chickens they have to face, it is enough.

Of course, there are also archery masters among the Rangers, but those people’s reputations are far greater than Zuo Yuquan’s.

Looking at these rangers was still interesting, and his mind was not crooked, so Yan Liqiang agreed to join their team and go to Gulang grassland together.

Finally, after almost two hours of waiting, the Ranger named Jia Lang finally came back.

Jia Lang is in his twenties, with a lean face and an agile figure. His weapon is a pair of long triangular thorns inserted into his waist. Yan Liqiang just heard the sound of the stairs downstairs, and this man rushed up. As soon as Zuo Yuquan and the others introduced him, Yan Liqiang only knew this person. Just by looking at this person’s body shape and weapons, he probably knew that this person was good at exquisite kung fu, and he was also very clever.

The news that Jia Lang inquired about was nothing too new, that is, the two rangers he knew came to Qiyun County a week ago and entered the Gulang Grassland with them. A friend and a group of other rangers ambushed a cavalry of more than 20 Hei Jie people on the grassland. Not only did they chop off more than 20 heads, but they also seized dozens of rhinoceros and dragon horses. The Jieren cavalry still has a lot of war money from the seven divisions of Shatu before, so his two friends made a lot of money at once. This time, not only did they each get 20 to 30 acres of grassland. The land deed for meritorious land, the seized rhinoceros, dragons and horses, and those floating wealth actually add up to seven or eight hundred taels of silver…

This news directly stimulated Zuo Yuquan and the others, eager to try them all, eager to rush to Gulang grassland to cut Dozens of heads came back.

“On the Gulang grassland now, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com is full of fat sheep. The heads of those sand Tu people and Hei Jie people can be exchanged for pastures, their mounts can be exchanged for money, and if they are lucky, those people will still have With a lot of gold and silver jewelry, as long as we can ambush a few groups of guys and chop off a head at will, this time in Qiyun County will not be in vain…” Jia Lang licked his lips and said with bright eyes.

“Then how is the situation on the Gulang Grassland now?” Mao Taishun asked.

“I heard that the seven tribes of Shatu have turned into a pot of porridge, and the Heijie people are also jumping around, and the camp is three times a day. As long as our horses are fine, even if we see their brigade on the grassland, we can still I found it from a distance, and then I could ride a rhinoceros horse to escape. I heard the two friends say that when they returned to Baishiguan today, they encountered two headhunting teams composed of wealthy families from the northwest. They are all more than 2,000 and well equipped. Now more and more people enter the Gulang grassland. The earlier they go, the more opportunities they have and the easier it is to make a fortune. The first batch of rangers who entered the Gulang grassland, many people are now The pastures we went up to are more than 100 acres…”

“Okay, we’re almost ready, let’s see what else we need, and count them again. After lunch, we’ll set off, and strive to be ready this afternoon. Go out of the customs, go and give him a vote…” Zuo Yuquan said, and everyone nodded.
