Chapter 9 The Copper Dagger

Next, under the leadership of the "spiritual leader" Wu Liang Shen Naotao, everyone quickly and successfully completed the standard four-kneel-and-twelve-kowtow ceremony.

Chen Jinshui braved the cold sweat on his vest and tiptoed towards the carriage room.

During the process, I swallowed from time to time and looked back at everyone.

It was obvious that this guy was extremely nervous, but in order to make up for his mistakes and prove that he was a responsible and capable warrior, he still held on and did not flinch.

Everyone also held their breath nervously and looked at Chen Jinshui without blinking.

result.

Of course nothing happened.

Chen Jinshui walked out of the carriage room and was still alive and well until he reached the middle of the tomb passage.

"Young and talented brother, Chen Jinshui is still safe and sound. Does this mean..."

Cao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, touched Wu Liang beside him, and asked tentatively.

"Congratulations, Marquis! The owner of the tomb has felt our sincerity and we are saved!"

Wu Liang immediately showed a happy face and said loudly.

"real?"

Cao was surprised.

"Oh - saved, hahaha!"

"Thanks to Wu Liang, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't even know how we would have died!"

"Tomb robbing is indeed a craft. Even if there is gold and silver in the tomb, not just anyone can take it away."

"Brother Wu Liang, what did you do before, and why do you have so much knowledge?"

"..."

The soldiers were immersed in the joy of surviving the disaster. Some cheered, some sighed, and by the way, some finally began to care about Wu Liang's identity.

at this time.

"Plop!"

A muffled sound suddenly came, and everyone looked around quickly.

However, Chen Jinshui, who was still standing just now, seemed to have had all his strength drained out of him. His legs were weak and he fell heavily to the ground.

what's the situation!?

Everyone was shocked. Could it be that they were happy too early?

Wu Liang was also worried. Could it be that the things he talked about could be slapped in the face?

As a result, Chen Jinshui, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly started to move again, and then twisted his body like a maggot relying only on the strength of his hands and waist. The stiff movements were weird and very penetrating...

Seeing this extremely strange scene, everyone was extremely nervous and did not dare to breathe a word. Some people silently clenched the Chang Ge in their hands.

Even Cao Zhen touched the hilt of the sword on his waist.

Finally, Chen Jinshui twisted and turned his body around.

The torch in Wu Liang's hand illuminated Chen Jinshui's wet face.

At this moment, under the not-so-bright light of the torch, Chen Jinshui was panting like an angry beast, his face with wrinkled features looked ferocious and terrifying, and there were a few bulging veins at his temples...

"Young and talented brother, who is Chen Jinshui?"

Cao Zhen pulled out the sword from his waist with a "swish" sound, and pointed the tip of the sword at Chen Jinshui.

Other soldiers also displayed their weapons one after another, carefully guarding against this inexplicably "mutated" comrade.

"..."

Wu Liang licked his lips and said nothing. He didn't understand the situation, and he didn't know how to respond.

Then.

Then they heard Chen Jinshui's voice that sounded like crying and laughing: "Grandma, you are such a bitch, someone come over and give me a hand. I breathed a sigh of relief and found that my legs had become so weak that I couldn't stand. I fell."

I'm dead, oh, I'm so excited..."



Another false alarm.

After everyone figured out the situation, they were angry and funny. They dragged Chen Jinshui over and beat him up. Finally, after asking Wu Liang what he meant, they continued to explore the tomb of King Liang Xiao.

Opposite the carriage and horse room is the weapons room.

There are several rows of weapon racks displayed in the weapons room.

Various weapons are displayed on it, including ring-headed knives, spears, hand halberds, iron-mounted bows, and long swords. It is estimated that the number exceeds a hundred.

It's just that these weapons are all iron weapons that have been popularized during the Western Han Dynasty. They have been stored in this humid and dark environment for hundreds of years. Now they are naturally more or less corroded and have mottled rust.

In particular, the iron bow was the most severely damaged, and the bowstring made of beef tendon had aged and broken.

Following Wu Liang, Cao Zhen looked at these weapons carefully, his eyes already filled with light: "The texture of these weapons is fine and hardened, and the blades that have been stored for hundreds of years are still faintly visible. They are undoubtedly made of hundreds of refined iron.

, are all rare weapons!”

"When I followed Cao Shijun to attack Kuangting, I captured Yuan Shu's general Liu Xiang. The weapons in his hands were of this quality at that time..."

"If my broken sword comes into contact with such a sharp weapon, I'm afraid it will be sharpened as soon as I close it."

"It costs a lot of money to cast these weapons now, not to mention that hundreds of years ago, King Xiao of Liang Liu Wu was worthy of being a relative of the emperor."

"..."

The soldiers also came closer and looked at these weapons eagerly, and couldn't help but talk about them.

These soldiers were born in troubled times, and they are worthy of the word "elite". They must have seen blood and fought in battles before joining the Hu army, so they must have some understanding of the weapons they depend on for survival, just like modern soldiers have knowledge of the characteristics of firearms.

Knowing everything is the same thing.

However, after what happened just now, they all consciously restrained themselves, and no one touched these weapons without permission.

It's a pity that these weapons are completely beyond Wu Liang's discernment.

After all, in the 21st century he lives in, any household kitchen knife is made of stainless steel. If it is a special-purpose iron tool, it is made of an alloy material that ordinary people cannot understand.

However, seeing that Cao Zhen and his soldiers thought so highly of these weapons, they also knew that even if no one stole these weapons, they would definitely not be preserved to future generations.

Wu Liang decisively turned into a licking dog and asked: "Marquis, if we bring these weapons back, will you be happy?"

"That's natural!"

Cao Zhen immediately said enthusiastically, "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. If we take them back and polish them, and reward them for use by the generals, we will definitely increase our army's combat power, which you can't ask for!"

"In this case, after we explore the tomb, the military commander can send someone in to move it."

Wu Liang nodded.

"But, will the owner of the tomb be willing?"

Cao Zhen asked worriedly.

"You don't have to worry too much, military commander. King Xiao of Liang is a member of the royal family of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty is sending troops to support the Han Dynasty. Why don't you refuse to borrow some of your personal belongings from him? Just don't damage it deliberately as you did just now and disturb King Xiao of Liang's purity."

Wu Liang said seriously.

This is also a fact. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not only Liu Bei who talked about "supporting the Han Dynasty", but also Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao "hijacked the emperor to order the princes", his power had already reached its peak, but he regarded himself as prime minister all his life and never proclaimed himself emperor. As we all know, it was his son Cao Pi who finally usurped the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, and it was Cao Pi who followed him as Emperor Wu.

"So good!"

Cao Zhen was immediately overjoyed. While overjoyed, he caught a glimpse of a one-foot-long wooden box placed in the innermost niche and asked curiously, "What is that?"

"Let me check it out."

Wu Liang noticed this wooden box just now, but he didn't have time to take a closer look.

Affected by the environment, the surface of the wooden box has been corroded, and some patterns are faintly engraved on it, but it is impossible to determine what the patterns are.

Wu Liang stepped forward and observed carefully with the help of the firelight. He did not find any restrictions on the mechanism, so he stood to the side and carefully opened it.

Inside the wooden box is an extremely soft reddish-brown Shu brocade lining, which is protected by the wooden box. This lining has not been eroded by moisture so far, and is even drier than expected.

And on the lining of Shu Brocade, lying quietly - a dagger!

The dagger is only 6 inches long.

The handle is made of red copper and the body is made of fine iron.

The snow-white blade was so bright under the reflection of the firelight.

Is this not ordinary iron?

Seeing this brilliance, Wu Liang was secretly shocked.

Ordinary iron cannot be made this bright silver with the craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty, nor can it be mixed with softer silver as a weapon, and there is no such thing as alloy in this era.

Then the range of material options for this dagger is much smaller, and there is a high probability that it may be meteorite!

Research shows that meteorite, as an extraterrestrial object, is a nickel-iron alloy with iron as the main component.

Nickel-iron alloy has the characteristics of high melting point, strong hardness and resistance to corrosion. Therefore, it was a precious material for making "magic weapons" in ancient times.

However, in the 21st century, alloy technology has already filled every corner of people's lives. For example, commonly used stainless steel products are chromium-nickel stainless steel, whose main component is nickel-iron alloy.

If it is really made of meteorite iron, this dagger is a good self-defense weapon, at least it will definitely not be worse than the kitchen knives of later generations...

Wu Liangzhong was thinking so.
