Chapter 4 Anger

"Single"

In this cave, the sound of metal impact was particularly deafening. After about ten collisions, the two stopped and presented their weapons.

Fang Ling took it and saw that his eyes lit up. The saber was intact, and even the blade seemed to be sharpened. However, the other knife was different. There was obviously a small hole in the blade. If you cut a few more knifes into this hole, it would probably shatter.

Seeing Fang Ling's slightly surprised expression, Ma Kai couldn't help but feel a little proud. As a general, the ones who are most proud of are of course these refined weapons.

As soon as he finished seeing Fang Ling's expression, Fang Ling glanced at him without hesitation, his eyes fell on the sword on Ma Kai's waist, and said with a smile: "The weapons of this ordinary soldier are so powerful. Isn't the sword you wear more sharp?"

Seeing that he wanted to see, Ma Kai smiled proudly. He pulled out his waist knife and saw that the sharp edge of the long blade was revealed, and it was actually filled with a solemn aura.

Fang Ling took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise it: "What a good knife!"

Ma Kai laughed and said, "Your Highness, this knife is different from these sabers. The general knife can be formed after five procedures and a hundred hammers. However, this knife has undergone a special refining process. It takes ten processes and three hundred hammers to make such a hundred-sharpening knife!"

"Oh, so, if these hundred refining swords were compared with those swords, wouldn't the saber be cut down more than a dozen times? " Fang Ling said in a pretentious manner.

When Ma Kai saw Fang Ling's expression that he had never seen the world, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's true. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can try it for you again."

Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "There is no need for this experiment, but I have an uninvited feeling."

"Your Highness has something to say, but I will just listen to it." Ma Kai replied humbly.

Fang Ling showed a bright smile on his face, and he sharpened the blade with his hands, and said reluctantly: "General Ma also knows that the journey I went out is dangerous, and there was no self-defense weapon around me. I think this hundred-sfinding knife is quite good, and it is easy to pick it up. It's better for General Ma to give me this knife."

"This..." Ma Kai didn't expect Fang Ling to ask for his own weapons, and he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

You should know that ordinary sabers can be successfully built in five days, but these savages are different. You must pick the best ore among iron ore and refine them after selection. This refining is not an easy task. You have to melt these ores again and again. Moreover, when you hammer three hundred times, it will sometimes break. One of the ten savages will eventually be formed is considered luck. One savage will take more than three months to form.

Fang Ling frowned and said with an unhappy look: "What? General Ma is so reluctant to let go of this mere sword. I thought General Ma was a generous person."

Ma Kai's old face turned red. There were so many deputy soldiers here watching, and a dignified Shicheng King asked for objects personally. Such things could not be rejected by his subordinates. So he had to grit his teeth and laughed: "Since your highness likes it, let me give it to your highness."

Fang Ling then laughed and said, "General Ma is indeed generous. By the way, the guards around me are still short of some weapons. I think these sabers are pretty good, so I'll give me another six."

"Of course... no problem." Ma Kai laughed dryly, and a hint of ruthlessness finally flashed in his eyes. The sabers of Qingshui Pass are made of special craftsmanship, and each one is not low in cost. It is ten times more expensive than ordinary town knife tools. It is still a bit heartbreaking to get six of them.

Fang Ling casually put his waist knife on his body, and even turned it around and looked at it, feeling quite satisfied.

Ma Kai felt angry when he saw it, but when he thought of killing the King of Shicheng anyway, he smiled again on his face, not only accompanied him with a smile, but also praised him for a few words.

Fang Ling saw his changes and felt more certain that this guy really had a murderous intent on himself. Qingshui Pass seemed to be a life-and-death difficult time.

When he left the smelting plant, Fang Ling stopped and smiled slightly, "This smelting plant has really opened my eyes, so let's go to the horse training farm now."

"Horse training ground?" Ma Kai was stunned for a moment, subconsciously feeling that Fang Ling had another idea, but he had to give in and say with a smile, "Then the minister leads the way for His Highness."

Fang Ling nodded, treating this place as his own home, while Ma Kai and others became outsiders.

The so-called horse training ground is a place where the captured wild horses are specially trained into war horses. It exists in various fortresses and checkpoints in the State of Chu. Even if Qingshui Pass is close to the imperial city, where there has been no war since the establishment of the State of Chu, there is still a horse training ground.

Moreover, compared with the relatively remote fortresses, the wild horses here are carefully selected and specially sent here for breeding. Although the place is not big, they are all high-quality horses.

In fact, when Fang Ling mentioned the horse training ground, Ma Kai had a premonition.

Sure enough, as soon as Fang Ling came here, he saw a group of strong horses in the horse farm, and began to nag about two thin horses. The thin horse was so skinny that he didn't know when they could reach Shicheng. Finally, the topic was naturally mentioned borrowing a few horses and returning them in the future.

God knows how the borrowed horse can be returned, but Fang Ling is the king of Shicheng. The prince's identity is extraordinary, so Ma Kai cannot refuse to leave it.

Seeing Fang Ling's horse picking, Ma Kai felt ache. The average price of horses in Chu State is 100 taels per head, two or three hundred taels of good horses, and 500 taels per head like this. If a few horses were pulled away, it would be thousands of taels of white silver.

However, Fang Ling was not ruthless at all. This horse selection technique is a must-learn knowledge in the palace. He was taught by his mother when he was very young, and now he still remembers it freshly, so he is always choosing the best.

The deputy generals stood aside and whispered in a low voice, but no one dared to say anything more. This Chu State is the Emperor's Chu State, and this war horse is the Emperor's war horse. To put it bluntly, this horse training ground is the Emperor's back garden. What does the prince have to pick a few horses here?

So when Fang Ling left the horse farm, he chose eight fat and strong war horses to leave.

Ma Kai didn't expect Fang Ling's eyes to be so poisonous, and his heart was cut like a knife. All the horses chosen were the best breeding, and they were rare in a thousand gold coins. Many of them were gifts to be presented to the imperial city officials, but they were left by the King of Stone City.

Even though Ma Kai was a very cunning person, he couldn't help but feel anger on his face.

The effect Fang Ling needs to achieve is to make Ma Kai angry. Once he gets angry, he will easily show his feet. As long as he reveals his feet and knows the strategies he uses, he will be able to deal with them by chance.

So, after picking up the horses, Fang Ling began to nag about the carriages. After getting two good carriages, he arrived at the material warehouse and got a bunch of dry food, wine and so on.

Then I went to the military warehouse and took away several sets of light armors specially used by soldiers. These light armors were made of soft iron. Although they were light and thin, they could slightly resist the puncture of the sword, and it was not easy to see when penetrated on the body.

After Ma Kai brought Fang Ling and the things he selected to the downstairs, he turned his back and turned his face and was covered in ashes, with murderous intent in his eyes, and even his fists were trembling. This was not fear, but anger. He was angry that the eldest prince was ignorant of his ruthlessness until his death.

As soon as Ma Kai and others left, Dong Canghai and Chen Mou walked downstairs.

Dong Canghai looked at the eight fat war horses and the material they were carrying, and hurried over and began to check.

Fang Ling smiled and said, "No need to check it. These were not sent by General Ma, but I asked for them back."

Chen Mou immediately understood what Fang Ling meant. Seeing the supplies flipped over, he laughed and said, "No more, these few war horses alone are valuable. General Ma probably has angered his lungs now!"

Dong Canghai couldn't help but say, "But it's probably a bit inappropriate to anger General Ma like this."

Chen Mou smiled and said, "Not only is there any inappropriateness, it is a trick of killing two birds with one stone. Ma Kai is a cruel man and will definitely execute the orders of Queen Song, killing Your Highness, but he is extremely cunning and it is difficult to know what his plan is. However, when Your Highness stimulated him so much, not only did he replenish supplies, but General Ma was probably exposed when he was angry."

Dong Canghai nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Fang Ling smiled slightly, took off the Bailiang Sword on his waist, and threw it to him and said, "This is Ma Kai's Bailiang Sword. Master see if it matches his hands."

Dong Canghai took it out and looked at it, praised it, and then said quickly: "I have a knife in my hand, so I should keep this one for you."

"No, I have my own weapons." Fang Ling smiled slightly, took out the sabers from the carriage and said, "I think these sabers are better than yours, so I'll use them for you."

Several guards quickly thanked him, each of them took a handful, and it was indeed much easier to do it. Dong Canghai was even more in love with the Bailian Knife in his hand.

Fang Ling then said, "Now Ma Kai is angry. Master, do you know what to do?"

Dong Canghai put away the Bailian Knife and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, your highness, we were not idle when you left just now. We went to inquire about the situation of the military camp and patrol. I will sneak into the main hall of the military camp now."

Fang Ling nodded and told him to be careful in everything.

After Dong Canghai left, several guards began to move all the supplies in the broken carriage to the new carriage, and then each of them took a set of light armor.
