When Liu Bei sealed the throne and paid homage to the general, he had the intention of reusing Li Mengxi, and also wanted to support Li Mengxi.

Liu Bei took Li Mengxi's hand, walked down from the low table, and introduced the generals and generals in the army one by one.

Li Mengxi had a smile on his face and a calm demeanor. Although he didn't know anyone except Guan Zhang, Li Mengxi was polite and thoughtful and neither arrogant nor impetuous.

It's very mysterious to say that. In his previous life, Li Mengxi was not an outstanding person. To say that he was always considerate in etiquette is actually an exaggeration.

However, Li Mengxi is only seven or eight years old now. What an adult can do can be achieved by Li Mengxi's young body.

Just like, if an adult does not wet the bed, it is not considered an advantage. However, if it is placed on a three or four-year-old child, if he does not wet the bed, he is a child prodigy.

That's it.

Li Mengxi's appearance of not being a middle-class person, no matter how he treats people or is knowledgeable or anything else, is amazing enough for a seven or eight-year-old boy.

Li Mengxi followed Liu Bei and recognized them one by one, including centurions, captains and corps commanders.

Li Mengxi always pulled his younger brother and asked him to follow him. Liu Bei took him to understand the purpose of the generals one by one. Li Mengxi could roughly guess that Liu Bei had good intentions. This move was intended to help him establish his prestige so that in the future, there would be no one in the army.

People dare to deceive each other.

"This is a certain brother," Li Mengxi pulled his younger brother and greeted the elders one by one with a smile, "Little brother, call me uncle and say how good he is."

Li Mengxi ordered his younger brother.

"Hello, uncle." The younger brother hid in Li Mengxi's arms, secretly looking at the adults, and shouted sweetly.

Although Li Mengxi was also a baby, none of the senior officials dared to tease him.

So, the chiefs pinched the younger brother's little face and patted the younger brother's head, which was very affectionate.

The chiefs used this to express their goodwill towards the Li Mengxi brothers.

From the sky, the raindrops finally fell, and the big raindrops pattered down.

“Mr.

Li Mengxi said.

"That's fine." Liu Bei nodded, "Yun Chang, let's disperse."

Guan Yu took the order and dismissed all the local warriors.

The local heroes have all dispersed, there are no outsiders, and there is no need to pretend to be dignified.

When Guan and Zhang came over, Guan Yu smiled and asked, "Xi'er, what do you think of this arrangement?"

"Thank you three for your hard work, Meng Xi is very grateful." Li Mengxi clasped his fists towards Guan Zhang and said gratefully.

Seeing that Li Mengxi could understand his elder brother's good intentions and that he was a teachable boy, Guan Yu nodded with satisfaction.

The rain suddenly became a torrential force. In order to avoid the rain, Liu, Guan, Zhang and Li Mengxi hurriedly entered the tent to take shelter.

In the tent, Zhang Fei stood with his hands on his hips and watched the rain at the curtain door, cursing and saying that the rain lasted for two days.

Next to the short ones, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Li Mengxi, and the little guy Li Zhuan were sitting together.

In Li Mengxi's hand, there was a huge long sword, which was given to him by Liu Bei himself on the "General's Stage" just now.

This sword is quite heavy. Just now, when Li Mengxi held this sword in his hand and Liu Bei met with the generals one by one, Li Mengxi could hardly hold the sword. He dragged the sword tail on the ground to prevent it from falling to the ground.

Now, I have time to see how this sword is doing.

The sword is very long and heavy.

Li Mengxi struggled to hold the sword with both hands and held the sword on the short table.

"Xuan Degong, can this sword be one of the male and female double-pronged swords?" Li Mengxi asked curiously.

Unlike other swords, Li Mengxi felt that this sword was too long.

"Not bad." Liu Bei replied while wiping the rain from his hair with his sleeves, "Xi'er, what do you think of this sword?"

Li Mengxi went to look at the sword and visually inspected it with handle and scabbard. The sword was more than four feet long and looked very slender.

There is an old saying, which seems to have come from ancient times, that is, from Taishi Ci in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which says that a real man should carry a three-foot sword to achieve unparalleled achievements.

Why is the sword length three feet? Three feet is actually the most common and appropriate length for a sword.

The longer it is, the more it becomes a two-handed sword.

The four-foot-long matching sword is much longer than other people's swords and is rare.

Li Mengxi guessed that this sword should be the female sword of the male and female swords. If it were a male sword, it would be heavier and he would be even less able to lift it.

Looking closely, the female sword lying flat on the low table had an unpretentious scabbard. The beautiful wood grain on the brown log scabbard was clearly visible, but Li Mengxi could not tell what kind of tree the brown wood came from.

Rub the scabbard with your fingers and feel that although the scabbard is not smooth, due to the wood material, it has a fine texture and a great feel.

His eyes moved from the scabbard to the sword's jaw. The sword's jaw was a simple and practical one-word sword grid. Like the scabbard, there was no decoration on the sword grid.

Looking at the hilt, the hilt is also made of fine steel and is cast integrally with the sword body. It is extremely solid and there is no possibility of the hilt breaking.

The hilt of the sword, which is about one and a half palms long, is wrapped with a thin layer of non-slip hemp rope. The hemp rope is darkened in color due to being soaked with sweat and the friction of the palm.

Li Mengxi reached out and held it personally, and felt something strange about the touch. Li Mengxi originally thought that the hilts of the swords were all cylindrical, but after holding it himself, he discovered that the hilts of the male and female swords were actually polygonal.

Surprised, Li Mengxi raised one end of the sword hilt and took a closer look. He counted as many as eight edges on the hilt.

The hilt is in the shape of an octagonal prism. When held in hand, the handle feels somewhere between slightly uncomfortable and comfortable.

Even though it is not as comfortable as the round handle, it is not too hard on the hand. In comparison, the hilt of the male and female sword is closer to the shape of the badminton racket handle in Li Mengxi's memory.

Not knowing that the sword hilt would behave like this, Li Mengxi was filled with doubts.

Putting his doubts aside for the moment, Li Mengxi tilted the sword slightly, placed it flat on the low table, turned the hilt of the sword towards himself, held the hilt in his hand, and pulled it out with a little force. He didn't feel much resistance, and the sword was unsheathed with a clatter.

In his previous life, the management of knives was strict. The most lethal cold weapon that Li Mengxi came into contact with was a kitchen knife, and he had almost no contact with real swords.

For example, right now, Li Mengxi was very curious about how the sword got stuck in the scabbard, and how it could be pulled out smoothly without being stuck.

This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! It should be a small mechanism or something. Li Mengxi felt the force of the sword's body springing outwards the moment he pulled out the scabbard. He pulled out the sword curiously.

Joined several times.

The sword is locked in the scabbard just right, without being too tight and preventing the sword from accidentally slipping out of the scabbard.

The scabbard is nice and practical, but the real key is the sword itself.

When Jing Ke assassinated Qin, King Qin Yingzheng's sword was too long and could not be pulled out. Now Li Mengxi also encountered such embarrassment.

Li Mengxi held the scabbard with one hand and pulled the hilt with the other. The sword was only halfway out, and his little arm was already straightened. If he wanted to pull it out again, he had to lean back or stand up.

.

Li Mengxi smiled awkwardly at Guan Yu and Liu Bei, and had no choice but to stand up, pull the hilt of his sword with his hand, and slowly unsheath the sword.

The sword was completely unsheathed, and since it couldn't be lifted, it had to remain horizontally on the table.

Because of the heavy rain at this time, the light in the tent was not good. Under the weak light, the unsheathed sword showed a silvery luster, which was almost the same color as mercury. It was an extremely cold color. This was called the cold in the dark room.

Looking closely at the sword body, we can see that it is a classic double-edged sword, and it obviously has technical features left over from the bronze sword era. The sword body has eight sides, which is the Han eight-sided sword.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to insufficient toughness of bronze, the weapons made were brittle and easily broken, so multi-sided grinding was used to increase the strength of the sword body.

In essence, the multi-sided grinding technology of bronze swords is an advanced form of sword spine strengthening technology.

The sword spine is a raised edge in the middle of the sword body. When the thin and flat sword body is not strong enough, deepening and weighting the sword spine is like welding a steel bar to the sword body, which can effectively increase the strength of the sword.

Multi-sided grinding is a technological legacy of bronze swords. By the Han Dynasty, iron smelting technology had made great progress, and the method of frying steel had also appeared. The performance of steel was completely better than that of bronze. There was no need to use the multi-sided grinding technology to increase the strength. However,

Due to the inertia of technology, the multi-faceted sword was inherited from the Han sword.

Only the Han Dynasty, which inherited the end of bronze weapons, had a unique form of multi-sided swords. After the Han Dynasty, multi-sided swords disappeared.

Although the multi-faceted sword does not do much to enhance the strength of the sword, it does look good.

Turn the sword over in your hand, and the sword surface at different angles will reflect different shimmers of light and darkness, making the sword body look very three-dimensional and layered.

The sword looked like a mirror from a distance. When he looked closer, Li Mengxi gently rubbed the sword with his hand. He saw that there were many fine patterns on the sword. From the spine to the blade, the entire sword was densely covered with fine patterns.

These patterns naturally formed during the forging process itself represent quality.

It is often said that ten forged steels and one hundred forged steels refer to the number of forgings. The more forgings, the more patterns on the sword body, which often means the better the quality of the sword.

Multi-forged steel is sometimes called snowflake steel, which is another visual description of forging patterns.
