Wang Chong didn't say much.
Li Siye had lived in the north for a long time and wasn't in the capital, so it was normal for him to not know about WuZi Steel. Everyone was just venting their resentment for being bullied by him.
Klang!
Wang Chong didn't say anything. He drew the sword at his waist and casually swung it. Klang! As the sword swung, a protruding rock on the ground was cut into two by Wang Chong.
The rock slid open, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.
After doing all this, Wang Chong casually swung the sword and sheathed the WuZi Steel sword back at his waist.
He was completely nonchalant.
"This is WuZi Steel!"
Wang Chong said calmly.
Facts speak louder than words. No matter how much one said, it wouldn't be as convincing as a casual swing of the sword. Across from Wang Chong, Li Siye was stunned as he stared at the rock.
Wang Chong's sword had brushed across the rock as though it was a piece of tofu. He didn't use much strength at all.
However, the sturdy yellow mountain rock was neatly cut into two.
Li Siye wasn't a swordsmithing expert, but he wasn't ignorant either! The weapon in Wang Chong's hand was clearly no ordinary weapon.
"What a sharp sword!"
Li Siye looked at the smooth cut and muttered to himself. He was completely dumbfounded.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen powerful weapons before. In fact, he had seen the swords of many generals in the army, and they were all extremely sharp.
However, no matter how sharp they were, they couldn't compare to the sword in Wang Chong's hand.
Li Siye could sense that Wang Chong had used the sharpness of the sword to cut open the rock, and not his Stellar Energy or sword qi.
One must know that there was a fundamental difference between the two.
At this instant, Li Siye had to admit that he was tempted.
On the battlefield, many people wore armor. Even some of the heavily-armored cavalrymen were wearing thick and sturdy armor made of darksteel.
It was extremely exhausting to fight with them, and the same punch would be greatly weakened when it landed on them.
Therefore, on the battlefield where killing was fierce, a good weapon was extremely important.
Li Siye wanted to find a good weapon, but he didn't have any background, so it wasn't easy to get a good weapon.
Moreover, his physique was very tall and his strength was extremely great. Ordinary weapons were simply not suitable for his physique and strength. Therefore, Li Siye did not deliberately look for him.
But the weapon in Wang Chong's hand …
Li Siye couldn't help but admit that if he had such a sharp weapon on the battlefield, he would definitely be able to kill anything that stood in his way. He would be able to display his strength to 120%, allowing him to display his lifetime's worth of expertise, and even better establish meritorious service.
"What a pity, it's too short!"
Li Siye's eyes flashed, almost subconsciously.
His physique was tall, and his arms were extremely long. Ordinary weapons were not suitable for him at all. If he held a weapon that was not suitable for him, no matter how sharp it was, his hands and feet would be tied, and he would not be able to display his strength.
— This kind of three-foot weapon was clearly not suitable for him!
"Hahaha, it's fine if it's too short. I can help you tailor-make a weapon suitable for your height and body shape! "
Wang Chong's ears were very sharp, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Li Siye's ravings.
Li Siye's physique, whether it was weapons or armor, had to be extra-large. He had already thought of this for him.
A fierce tiger should be equipped with the sharpest claws and teeth!
The reason why Wang Chong had called him over wasn't to serve him as a slave or a slave, but to help him reach greater heights than he had in his previous life.
Wang Chong would not only equip him with the sharpest greatsword, but after Cousin Wang Liang brought back the Meteoric Metal, he would also equip him with the sturdiest armor and the best steed!
In his last life, the Invincible Great General was brave and fierce, but his defense was lacking. This had begun when he first entered the army as a small soldier.
Because of his combat style, which emphasized offense and not defense, his body was riddled with scars. By the time he became the Invincible Great General, his body was already riddled with scars. There were saber wounds and sword wounds everywhere, and not a single patch of skin was left unscathed.
The Invincible Great General's death was not unrelated to the various internal injuries that had accumulated over time.
Therefore, in Wang Chong's plan, other than equipping him with the WuZi Steel greatsword and helping him gather an army as soon as possible, it also included creating the sturdiest armor.
Li Siye's eyes clearly showed his interest, but it was only for a moment. Li Siye quickly regained his senses.
"Hmph, stinking brat, do you really think you are so kind?"
Li Siye stared coldly at Wang Chong said, his face unfriendly.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. He did not believe that Wang Chong had transferred him over from the army camp in the north just to gift him treasured swords and sabers for free.
One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions!
"Hahaha, you guessed right. I do have something to ask of you. As long as you do a few things for me, not only can I tailor you a WuZi Steel greatsword and give you the sturdiest armor, I can also send you back to the army camp! "
Wang Chong said with a smile.
Li Siye was currently filled with dissatisfaction. Wang Chong also knew that it was not right of him to forcefully transfer him over from the north. Therefore, Wang Chong did not expect to subdue him right from the start.
He would first keep him by his side, then think of a way to convince him step by step so that he would willingly stay by his side and complete the mission he shouldered with him.
"Hmph, as expected!"
Li Siye laughed coldly, as if he had expected it.
"Haha, if I'm not wrong, you are only a ten-man squad leader in Beiting, right? To do a good job, one must first sharpen his tools. Following me for two to three months won't take up too much of your time. Besides, don't you want to go to the Anxi Protectorate? If you still want to go when the time comes, I can help you! "
Wang Chong said with a smile.
"How did you know?"
Li Siye's expression flickered in shock. Although he had joined the Beiting Protectorate, the place he wanted to go the most was the Western Regions, where Fu Jiezi, Ban Chao, and the others had fought on the battlefield.
But the Western Regions were filled with Hu, so the Anxi Protectorate did not recruit soldiers in the Western Regions. All of the soldiers were recruited from Qixi, Beiting, as well as from the mainland. They were all dispatched by the imperial court.
Li Siye had applied for his position in Qixi, believing that the Western Regions was closer to the Western Regions, so the Anxi Protectorate would definitely be given priority. Who could have expected that when the Bureau of Military Personnel came around, he would be transferred to Beiting?
Although the Beiting Protectorate had its share of battles, it was generally peaceful. Moreover, the Eastern and Western Turkic Khaganates and the Tang dynasty were still in the midst of minor conflicts and concessions.
Overall, they were not prepared to start a war with the Tang dynasty. These were all insignificant skirmishes on the border.
In Beiting, even with Li Siye's astonishing cultivation, it was very difficult for him to find a place where he could use his skills.
This was what troubled Li Siye the most.
What he wanted to do the most was to join the Anxi Protectorate and display his skills in the war-torn Western Regions, establishing his career and fulfilling his ambitions!
Although Wang Chong's WuZi Steel Sword was very attractive to him, it was not as attractive as those last words.
"… Brat, you're not joking with me, are you? Do you really have that kind of power? "
Li Siye stared at Wang Chong said.
"Haha, since I can transfer you from Beiting, do you think it will be very difficult to send you to the Western Regions?"
Wang Chong smiled noncommittally.
Li Siye's eyes widened. That's right! If this young master could easily transfer him from Beiting, then he would definitely be able to send him to the Western Regions as well.
If he could successfully enter the Western Regions, then everything before him would not be so difficult to accept.
In that instant, Li Siye recalled the sword at Wang Chong's waist …
Li Siye's heart was instantly moved.
Heroes loved swords, and as long as one was a true general, there was no one who did not like treasured swords. It was the same for Li Siye. However, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be able to afford such treasured swords with his wealth.
It was impossible for Li Siye not to be moved when he suddenly encountered such an inconceivably sharp weapon.
"Brat, speak. What do you want me to do? Let me tell you first, I can't agree to your unreasonable requests. A gentleman loves money, but he must obtain it in a proper way. I, Li Siye, will never agree to do that kind of shameless thing! "
Li Siye's words were resolute and decisive.
A true man should not be ashamed of the heavens, and should not be ashamed of the earth. This was the way of life between heaven and earth. How could a good man bend his back for five buckets of rice?
No matter how much he wanted to go to the Western Regions, no matter how much he wanted to build a career, no matter how much he liked treasured swords and weapons, he could not go against his own principles and the way of life of a true man.
"Haha, don't worry. I will never let you do such a thing! "
Wang Chong laughed.
Looking at the giant Li Siye in front of him, Wang Chong really admired him. "It is better to obtain something straight than to seek something crooked". Li Siye's character ran through his whole life, even when he was still in decline.
A hero was a hero!
Although the current Li Siye was far from the powerful Invincible General in the future, just a few words were enough to make Wang Chong respect him.
Even if he did not become the Invincible General in the future, a person like Li Siye was worthy of respect.
"Humph!"
Unaware of Wang Chong's thoughts, Li Siye only coldly harrumphed. He really didn't have a good impression of this kind of young master from an aristocratic family who only knew how to covet wealth and enjoyment.
"Speak, what do you want me to do?"
"Hehe, you'll know when the time comes."
Wang Chong smiled, intentionally keeping Wang Chong in suspense.
How could he know what he wanted Li Siye to do? Two to three months was just a temporary measure. Let's just drag it out for now!
When the time comes, I'll think of something else.
He did want to extend the time by a bit, say, half a year, two to three years, or something like that. But the problem was that Li Siye was currently brimming with anger toward him.
As long as he opened his mouth, Li Siye would definitely not agree!
… I'll have to think of something in the future!
While thinking, Wang Chong calmly walked past Li Siye and entered the Deflecting Blade Manor.
