Chapter 823 News
"Oh, you can shoot continuously, I have never seen this thing..." Zuo Yuquan said, then walked over, picked up the crossbow from the fat man named Mao, and looked carefully, "This crossbow arm is steel..."
"Not bad, not bad, just steel!"
"How can this steel be used as a crossbow arm?" Although Zuo Yuquan is an old martial arts world, he has never seen such a crossbow before, so he was very curious. Xu Meng next to Yan Liqiang also surrounded him and looked at the crossbow curiously.
"Customer, this steel is not ordinary steel, but spring steel produced by the manufacturing bureau. It has strong elasticity and is unique in the world!" The shopkeeper of the weapon store explained.
"How to use this crossbow?"
"This is a crossbow rod. After shooting an arrow, just pull the crossbow rod backward and then it will be turned on. The crossbow arrows are all in this box. When the string is turned on, they will enter the groove. This box can hold more than ten crossbow arrows at a time. One arrow can be shot in the blink of an eye. You can penetrate leather armor within fifty steps. This is a big killing weapon. If we have such a crossbow arrow in our hand, I will feel much more at ease..." The fat man surnamed Mao explained, and gestured with his hand. "I just heard from the roadside that the Dragon Ya army in the Supervisor Qi Yun's house equipped this thing in large quantities, killing Shatu dogs and ghosts howling. Then he came to take a look at the weapon store. I didn't expect that there was something in this store that was really sold..."
"This thing is good, it's a little expensive!" Zuo Yuquan pondered and smiled at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, give it a real price. If this thing is easy to use, we can kill a few more Shatudogou this time. We will also promote it for you. In the future, I don't know how many Rangers will come to your store to buy crossbows..."
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, "One hundred and eighty-six taels of silver, I will give you an extra arrow box, so it can't be lowered..."
The tall and thin man with a bow on his back put the crossbow on the table and said coldly, "I hate people most. You said this and the price is the lowest. I believe it, but if we know that someone has bought a crossbow from you at a lower price than this, even if there is a copper plate missing, I will smash your store..."
After hearing what this person said, the shopkeeper's face suddenly turned into bitter melon!
...
The last few people grinded in the store for a few minutes, cut the price of the crossbow to 170 taels, and asked the shopkeeper to send another twenty matching crossbow arrows. In the end, the fat man named Mao paid the money and carefully installed the crossbow in a special leather case. Everyone left the shopkeeper, while the shopkeeper was still sighing in the store.
In fact, the production cost of this crossbow in the Manufacturing Bureau is less than ten taels of silver, and the wholesale price of the Manufacturing Bureau is 100 taels of silver. The shopkeeper made several crossbows from some unknown channel to sell, and it almost doubled before selling it. It was already a lot of money for selling at 170 taels.
Yan Liqiang smiled slightly in his heart. It turned out that he had no talent for buying and selling. The shopkeeper was too good at doing business. He earned dozens of dollars from others with a crossbow, but he still made others take advantage of him.
"Where is Jia Lang?" Zuo Yuquan asked after leaving the store.
"Jia Lang just met two acquaintances. The two acquaintances had just returned from the Gulang Grassland. I heard that they made a lot of money. Jia Lang went to talk to the two people and asked for some information. Let us wait for him in the restaurant before. It may take some time to meet us when he is ready!" The fat man named Mao carefully carried the crossbow on his body, and then he looked at Yan Liqiang, "Brother Zuo, this is the little brother..."
"This is Wang Baoqiang, brother Wang. I just met. This time I came to the Gulan grassland alone!" After Zuo Yuquan said that, he introduced Yan Liqiang to the fat man named Mao and the tall and thin man with bow back. "Brother Wang, this man is Mao Taishun, he is also an old man who has been in the world for more than ten years. He is righteous. This man is Zhao Bing, and he is also a good archer..."
Mao Taishun, there is also such a name?
Yan Liqiang held it in his arms and didn't make him laugh, but hugged the two of them, and the two of them hugged Yan Liqiang, even if they met him.
Zhao Bing didn't talk much, but the fat Mao Taishun squinted his eyes and smiled, "Haha, do you think my name is a bit strange? There is no way. This is the name my father gave me. I hope my life will be easier and smoother in the future. But I just like to mess around, otherwise I wouldn't be a Ranger..."
Yan Liqiang smiled stupidly and didn't say anything.
"Jia Lang hasn't come back yet, so let's go to the restaurant to wait for him..." Zuo Yuquan said.
"Okay!" Several people nodded, and then the five people came to a restaurant more than 200 meters away waiting for the man named Jia Lang to come back.
This wait took about an hour.
During this period, the five people found a window on the second floor of the restaurant, waiting for the people while chatting. After Zuo Yuquan and his friends knew that Yan Liqiang's bow cultivation had reached the third level of heaven, they became much more polite to Yan Liqiang and tried their best to invite Yan Liqiang to join, because among the five of them, although Zuo Yuquan and Zhao Bing would use bows, the bow cultivation of the two people was only the second level of bows.
There are too many arch masters around Yan Liqiang, and he has seen many arch masters, so Yan Liqiang never thinks that the third level of the bow is of the fourth level or even the fifth level of the bow is of greatness, because these people are wandering souls under the arrow in front of him. The value of life is the same as the value of an arrow that can be bought with more than ten copper plates. But for ordinary rangers, the arch master cultivation of the second level of the bow master can accurately hit the target within a hundred meters. In fact, it is already very good, enough to walk around the world to deal with the big picture.
In most cases, as for the cultivation of the third level of the bow, even if they enter the army, they have a good future. At least they are officers at the first level of the lieutenant, and many rangers with bows carrying bows have their cultivation in the first level of the heaven or have not yet reached the level of the level of the arch. They don’t need to compare with any masters. As long as they can be stronger than ordinary archers and stronger than the weaklings they have to face, it is enough. Of course, there are also arch masters among the rangers, but those people have much more reputation than Zuo Yuquan and others.
Seeing that these golfers were quite interesting and had no distortion, Yan Liqiang agreed to join their team and go to Gulang Grassland to take a try together.
Finally, after almost two hours of waiting, the Ranger named Jia Lang finally came back.
Jia Lang is in his twenties, with a smart face and agile body. His weapon is a pair of long triangular thorns inserted between his waist. Yan Liqiang just heard the stairs downstairs ringing, and the man rushed up. As soon as Zuo Yuquan and his friends introduced, Yan Liqiang knew this man. Just looking at the figure and weapons of this man, he probably knew that this man was good at exquisite kung fu and was also very clever.
The news Jia Lang heard was nothing new. It was that the two rangers he knew came to Qiyun County a week ago and entered the Gulang grassland with people. In just one week, his two friends and other groups of rangers ambushed a cavalry of more than 20 people on the grassland. Not only did they cut back more than 20 heads, they also seized dozens of rhinoceros horses. The more than 20 Black Capricorn cavalry, there were also a lot of war money that had been made from the Seventh Division of Shatu before, so his two friends made a fortune at once. This time, they not only got 20 to 30 acres of grassland merit deeds, but the seized rhinoceros dragon horses and those floating wealth, which totaled 700 taels of silver...
This news directly stimulated Zuo Yuquan and others to be excited, and they all wanted to try it out, wishing they could rush to the Gulang Grassland immediately and chop dozens of heads back.
"Now, there are fat sheep everywhere on the Gulang grassland. Those Shatu people, Black Capricorn people can change their heads to the pastures, and their mounts can be exchanged for money. If you are lucky, those people will also carry a lot of gold, silver and treasure jewelry. As long as we can ambush a few young men and chop off one head, it will not be a waste to come to Qiyun County this time..." Jia Lang licked his lips and said with his eyes lit up.
"What's the situation on the Gulang Grassland now?" Mao Taishun asked.
"I heard that the seven Shatu tribes were in chaos, and the Black Capricorns were in chaos. The camp was in full swing. As long as our horses were fine, even if we saw their large teams on the grassland, we could find them from afar, and then we could escape on the rhino dragon horse. I heard from those two friends that when they returned to Baishi Pass today, they met two headhunting teams composed of two wealthy families in the northwest of Baishi Pass. The number was more and more people entering the Gulang Grassland. The earlier they went, the more opportunities they would be, the easier it would be to get rich. Many of them now have more and more meritorious grasslands..."
"Okay, we've almost done it. Let's see what else we need, count it again, and after lunch, we will set off and try to leave this afternoon and go and have a vote for him..." Zuo Yuquan spoke, and everyone nodded.
