"Master Hong Si was killed by Wang Tieshan with one slash! At that time, the situation was quite chaotic, and the second leader of the Iron Mountain Gang, Wang Tiefeng, was killed by Master Hong Si. "Teng Qingshan said. Although Master Hong Si's death was closely related to him. Teng Qingshan didn't intend to say it out loud.
Saying it out loud was just to show off and was meaningless.
"Retribution, retribution!!!" Teng Yunlong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The other people in the central room also seemed very happy.
Teng Yunlong immediately smiled and said, "That old thief's death is very satisfying. But with his death, Yi City will probably be in turmoil. "
"Grandfather, I think our clan needs to forge armor!" Teng Qingshan said solemnly. "When fighting, without armor to protect us, we can easily lose our lives. But with armor, we will be much stronger when fighting. "Just looking at the White Horse Battalion, with their heavy armor, they could easily kill many people with one charge.
Armor was good, but it was expensive!
Forging armor was much more difficult than forging swords and spears. A good material that could cover the whole body and was well made would cost at least one thousand taels of silver, which was enough to buy a top class warhorse. If it was simple heavy armor, it would cost two hundred taels of silver. This was also the reason why ordinary villages could not afford armor.
Just a few sets of good armors were enough to make a village so poor that it had no money.
As for some simple and thin armor, it was cheap, but with the bravery of the mountain people, a spear could pierce through it. Thin armor was useless. To be completely protected, heavy armor was necessary.
Of course, using precious materials such as Ten Millennia Coldsteel, it was possible to forge armor that was light and had good defense. But the price was too frightening. After all, the materials used to forge armor were much more than swords and spears.
"That thing is expensive." The eyes of Teng Qinghu's father, Teng Yonghang, lit up, but he still smacked his lips and said.
"Qingshan is right, we should forge heavy armor." Teng Yunlong was unprecedentedly excited. "Our Teng Jia Village can forge our own heavy armor. We only need to buy the materials! If we choose the materials for one heavy armor, one hundred taels of silver should be enough. If we purchase two hundred of them, that would be twenty thousand taels of silver! "
"Twenty thousand taels!" Teng Yonghang was shocked.
"This matter can be done!" Teng Yongfan stood up and said.
The last time Teng Qingshan went to Yi City to exchange for Star Pattern Steel, he brought back no less than six hundred taels of gold. Teng Jia Village didn't lack money!
"It will take a long time to forge so many armors!" Teng Yongfan said.
"Yes, when the time comes, we'll find more clansmen to help. Heavy armor doesn't require much skill. Yongfan, those apprentices of yours can also forge them! " Teng Yunlong said, "Tomorrow, we will expand the weapon shop and let those apprentices forge together. We will forge these two hundred heavy armors as soon as possible."
"Grandpa, Dad, should we forge 200 pieces?" Teng Qingshan asked.
Teng Yunlong laughed and said, "All the powerful men in the clan, put them on!"
Teng Jia Village's current martial strength was indeed very strong. Ever since Teng Qingshan taught them the Tiger Fist, the Tiger Fist became the fist technique that the men of the Teng Clan practiced since childhood. In the past six years, more than fifty clansmen had developed inner strength. Although the other clansmen didn't develop inner strength, the Internal Martial Arts had the effect of strengthening the body, greatly increasing the strength of the clansmen.
In the past, the strong men of Teng Jia Village could generally lift three hundred Jin.
But after six years, many of them could lift four hundred Jin.
Many of them could lift more than five hundred Jin, so they could wear heavy armor and walk as if they were flying.
"Grandpa, Dad, I think there are more than fifty people in the clan who have developed inner strength. We should first make fifty sets of heavy armor. These fifty sets of heavy armor should be made with good materials and given to the people who have developed inner strength. "Teng Qingshan suggested.
"I think it's a good idea!" Teng Yunlong agreed. After all, six hundred taels of gold was equivalent to sixty thousand taels of silver.
Teng Jia Village could afford to be extravagant. Good steel should be used on the blade, and gold and silver should be spent wisely.
"Qingshan, Qinghu." Teng Yunlong looked at the two of them and said, "I know that the two of you plan to join the Gui Yuan Sect. This time, Qinghu didn't get married. Forget it, in the future, Qinghu, you won't have to worry about not being able to find a wife. I want to ask, when do you plan to join the Gui Yuan Sect? "
Teng Qingshan and Teng Qinghu looked at each other.
"Grandpa, let's wait for the situation in Yi City to become clearer. We have waited for so many years, so there is no need to rush for a year." Teng Qingshan was still a bit worried.
"Yes." Teng Qinghu nodded in agreement.
*****
Early the next morning, when the sun was high up in the sky, Teng Jia Village began to bustle with activity. Teng Yongfan immediately arranged for people to order materials for the heavy armor. Many young men in the village also tore down the walls of the weapons shop to expand the shop. They were about to forge two hundred sets of heavy armor, which was a lot more work than forging 182 Frost Jade Sabers.
In the courtyard of Teng Qingshan's house.
"Breathe!" "Inhale!"
Deep and powerful breaths matched each of his moves. Teng Qingshan was practicing the Three Postures of Xing Yi. Although his movements seemed slow as a millstone, his punches were as fast as lightning, producing explosive sounds and stirring up wind in the entire courtyard. Teng Qingshan was completely immersed in the Three Postures of Xing Yi. His legs seemed to be rooted to the ground.
His hands alternated between fast and slow, light and heavy.
Alternating left and right, Teng Qingshan practiced and actually felt a state of alternating Yin and Yang.
After being immersed in this state for more than two hours, Teng Qingshan finally stopped to rest.
"Let's go take a look at the training field." Teng Qingshan held his Reincarnation Spear and quickly arrived at the training field.
… …
The training field was very noisy. There were people practicing their spear arts, training their strength, practicing the Tiger Fist, and sparring with each other. There were hundreds of men on the training field, and it was a scene of bustling activity. At the side of the field, there were many children and women laughing as they watched and discussed. All of them seemed very happy.
"Why do the men in the clan fight to the death? Isn't it so that the clansmen can live a good life?" Feeling the joy and harmony, Teng Qingshan's heart felt very warm. These things in front of him were what the clansmen protected!
"Brother!" A clear and melodious voice rang out. Qingyu, who was wearing a flowery shirt and had her hair combed into two ponytails, ran over excitedly.
"What are you looking at over there? Watching them practice the Tiger Fist? "Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
"How can they fight as well as you, brother?" Qingyu hugged Teng Qingshan's arm and said sweetly.
"Look at how mischievous you are like a boy. Little Yu, you are almost an adult and are about to get married. Why don't you learn to be more gentle and quiet? Let's see who would dare to marry you in the future." Teng Qingshan purposely reprimanded. Qingyu wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Hmph, brother … Can't you see how many people have come to our house to ask for a matchmaker? However … those men, hmph, I don't like any of them. Even if my future man can't catch up to you, he will at least be half as good as you. "
Hearing this, Teng Qingshan couldn't help but laugh.
Looking up at the sky, the sun was already in the middle of the sky.
"Little Yu, it's going to be lunch soon. Let's go back first," Teng Qingshan said. Just as Teng Qingshan finished speaking, the earth began to tremble.
Teng Qingshan furrowed his brows and looked towards the outside of Teng Jia Village's gate. In the distance, he could vaguely see many people on horses galloping over. The entire training field immediately quieted down. Many clansmen immediately grabbed their spears, and many clansmen even anxiously shouted, "The mounted gangsters are here!"
The shouts echoed in the sky above Teng Jia Village. Immediately, a large number of clansmen from all over the village ran towards the training field with spears and bows.
"White Horse Battalion?" Teng Qingshan furrowed his brows.
The mounted gangsters outside the gate, regardless of whether they were men or horses, were all covered in armor. The dense black mass made people's hearts tremble uncontrollably. Teng Qingshan had seen the soldiers of the White Horse Battalion before. Of course, he could recognize with a glance that these over one hundred mounted gangsters were the White Horse Gang's most elite 'White Horse Battalion'.
"Open the gate!" The mounted gangsters shouted loudly.
Open the gate or not?
The Teng Jia Village guards and many clansmen looked towards Teng Qingshan. Teng Qingshan opened his mouth and said, "Open the gate."
Immediately, the clan gate opened with a loud bang, and over one hundred cavalrymen of the White Horse Battalion entered the training field.
"The White Horse Gang and the Iron Mountain Gang had a life and death battle yesterday evening. The White Horse Gang has so many people, and some of them are injured or disabled. It's impossible for them to return at night. They probably set off from the Iron Mountain Gang in the morning. In other words, the men of the White Horse Battalion didn't have time to return to the White Horse Lake and directly came to our Teng Jia Village. "Teng Qingshan also noticed." Eh, not all of them are from the White Horse Battalion! "
Just now, when he roughly looked from afar, they all seemed to be wearing armor. However, now that he looked closer, among this large group of people, there were twelve who didn't wear armor.
"Who is the chief of your Teng Jia Village?" The leader of the White Horse Battalion, who was riding on a war horse, coldly shouted. More than one hundred men and horses were wearing armor, forming a dense black mass. The atmosphere of the entire training field seemed to have frozen. Moreover, yesterday's slaughter caused the White Horse Battalion's mounted gangsters to carry the smell of blood, which made people's hearts tremble. Many clansmen didn't dare to breathe loudly, and the children all looked at this group of mounted gangsters in fear.
"It's me." At this time, Teng Qingshan walked out from the crowd, and Teng Qingshan immediately followed behind his grandfather.
The clansmen all stood behind the chief with weapons in their hands. Once the chief gave the order, they would fight regardless of everything.
"Teng Qingshan, who are you?" The leader shouted again.
Teng Qingshan took a step forward and stood side by side with his grandfather. He smiled and said, "I am Teng Qingshan. This lord should be the leader of the White Horse Battalion, right? I don't know why you have come to our Teng Jia Village."
The leader's indifferent gaze swept over Teng Qingshan, and he immediately grinned. "You are Teng Qingshan? Rumor has it that you are the number one hero of Teng Jia Village. Hmm, I don't know about your abilities, but at least … … your courage isn't small. Today, I have come to your village with a great gift. "
"Great gift?" Teng Yunlong was somewhat puzzled.
A cavalryman beside the leader immediately shouted, "You all listen carefully. This is our White Horse Gang's Young Master! In a few days, he will be our White Horse Gang's new Great Master! Today, the Young Master has come here to recruit real heroes to join our White Horse Battalion! "
Teng Jia Village's side suddenly burst into an uproar.
White Horse Battalion?
The White Horse Gang's most elite team?
"Young Master? He didn't die? "Teng Qingshan was shocked. Teng Yunlong, who was beside him, also looked at Teng Qingshan with doubt.
Last night, Teng Qingshan clearly said that the Young Master had already died!
"If he is the Young Master, then who was the person I killed?" Teng Qingshan glanced at the weapon in the Young Master's hand, which was also the same sharp saber as Master Hong Si. "The person I killed yesterday was also the leader of the White Horse Battalion and had the same saber technique as Master Hong Si." Although he didn't know who he killed, Teng Qingshan understood … …
The person he killed wasn't the Young Master, because the Young Master was right in front of him.
"Any man who can lift 500 Jin is qualified to join the White Horse Battalion! If one joins, the annual tribute will be reduced by 20%. If two join, the annual tribute will be reduced by 40% … … As long as you have five people join the White Horse Battalion! Then, from today onwards, your Teng Jia Village's annual tribute will be waived! "The cavalryman shouted loudly.
Immediately, the martial arts field burst into an uproar.
The Young Master, Hong Zhenjie, was riding on his war horse, sweeping his eyes over this group of people like an emperor inspecting his subordinates.
"Hm?" Hong Zhenjie's gaze fell on a very delicate and pretty girl behind Teng Qingshan. Her flowery clothes seemed simple, but her face was white and rosy, as if water could be squeezed out with a pinch. She didn't look very old, and her hair was tied in a ponytail, looking somewhat immature. However, her bulging breasts and tall figure showed that this beautiful girl had already matured.
Hong Zhenjie's eyes couldn't help but light up.
