Chapter 209: Fist and Heart

"I have Black Iron, what do you want with that?"

Su Mingjue touched the crossbow in his hand and said: "I want to make a dagger."

Meng Helan heard this and immediately said: "If you want a dagger, I have a sharpening iron here. Like mud."

"No, I want to make one myself."

Meng Helan understood in her heart that Su Mingjue wanted to make something by herself just like him.

He said cheerfully and generously: "I have it. How much do you want?"

Su Mingjue thought about the approximate size of the dagger and was not greedy for more. "It's enough to make an ordinary dagger."

Meng Helan nodded, and then ordered someone to take it.

Su Mingjue looked at the jet-black thing, which was glowing black and of high quality, and immediately put it away with eyes brightening.

Ever since he had planned to build a dagger, he had secretly searched for a lot of iron, but none was as good as the one in front of him.

Moreover, things like iron are not easy to find. It is controlled by the government, and it is difficult to find this kind of quality through ordinary channels.

Su Mingjue nodded, "Thank you very much. If you have anything to do next time, just ask me. I owe you."

Meng Helan smiled and said, "We don't need to be so polite."

Su Mingjue had lunch at Meng Mansion, and he was waiting After Meng Helan finished making the bow, it was already getting late, so Meng Helan took advantage of the opportunity to let him stay for dinner.

The other party warmly invited Su Mingjue, but Su Mingjue did not refuse and ate together.

After dinner, Meng Helan wanted to stay with Su Mingjue for a while, but Su Mingjue refused due to important matters.

Only now did Meng Helan see that he was a little reluctant to leave. He just wanted to stay with Su Mingjue. When he heard that he was going back, he asked to go with him, but Su Mingjue refused.

He pointed at Meng Helan's tired face and said: "Look at your eyes, which are dry and astringent, and there is a circle of darkness under your eyes. You'd better take a good rest first."

Meng Helan wanted to persist, but Su Mingjue pressed her down, "My body If you don't raise them well, how can you design better weapons and do good things for the people?"

After such persuasion, Meng Helan finally agreed and did not move again.

Su Mingjue left Meng Mansion after watching him take a nap.

...

Inside the carriage.

Su Xiaoliu watched as his young master entered the carriage with a dark and heavy object in his hand, and said with confusion: "Why have I never seen what the young master is holding in this hand?"

Su Mingjue touched the stiff texture of his hand. He smiled and said: "This is a good thing, Xuan Tie."

"I have never heard of Xuan Tie. What is it used for?"

Su Mingjue did not respond directly, only said: "I want to make a dagger, and this thing happens to be on my hand. It's just right."

After that, he went out and asked, "Mu Li, do you know where in the capital is suitable for making daggers?"

Mu Li said seriously: "The Liuji Blacksmith Shop in the north of the city is good. If the young master wants to make a dagger, it's a good place."

"Is the craftsmanship there good? I want to make a sword that can cut iron like clay."

"My sword was made there. If you are worried, young master, you can take a look at my sword."

Su Mingjue heard this and waved his hand, " That's it! Go directly to Liuji's blacksmith shop in the north of the city."

Mu Li was ordered to drive there.

Su Mingjue touched the dagger in her arms, looked at Xuan Tie in front of her and continued to ask: "What should I pay attention to when making a dagger and what kind of dagger is more useful."

Mu Li rode forward on his horse and responded seriously after hearing the words. He said: "A useful dagger must have a thin blade, high hardness, and some gravity. The size of the handle is also very important."

Thinking that Su Mingjue wanted to make a dagger for himself, Mu Li said a few more words: "The black iron used by the young master is already a good material. There is no problem with hardness and gravity. Liu Ji is known for making knives with thin blades and thick body. This black iron will definitely play its role in his hands."

Su Mingjue After listening carefully, he said with a smile: "In that case, I just need to give the black iron to Liu Ji Iron Shop."

Mu Li recalled Su Mingjue's fair and slender hands, and shook his head in an instant, "Dagger There is naturally no problem with the blade, but the handle still has to fit the size of the person using the dagger. The young master’s hand is round and slender, so when making it, be careful to make it shorter, so that it will be easier to use."

Su Mingjue was a little surprised when he heard this . Said: "I didn't expect that a small handle has so many details! So if you use it, what should this handle look like?"

Mu Li looked forward and drove the car diligently. When he heard this, he took it smoothly , "My palms are larger, so the handle is generally made thicker, so that it will be easier to hold, and the sword body is made heavier and more powerful."

Su Mingjue nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. "Fortunately, you are here. If I hadn't asked you today, I really wouldn't have known about these things." When

Mu Li heard this from outside, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he rarely talked too much and said: "Young Master It’s normal for someone who is not a martial artist to know this.”

The carriage drove forward and soon arrived at Liu Ji’s shop in the north of the city.

From the outside, the shop is very plainly decorated, without even a decent signboard. It's just a wooden board with the words "Liu Ji Blacksmith Shop" crookedly written on it in ink.

Su Mingjue got off the car and walked to the front of the shop. At the door, a man wearing white armor and a round waist was smashing there with a big hammer. Behind him was a stove with a blazing fire. Two people in brown The men in short clothes were there to add fuel to the fire. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to spot that this was the shop that Mu Li said was very good at blacksmithing.

Seeing someone approaching, an old man walked out of the room. His words were neither gentle nor serious, "Sir, are you beating pots or spoons?"

Before Su Mingjue had time to speak, Mu Li said directly: "We are here to beat daggers."

Hearing With a big order, the old man's expression became joyful, "What kind of goods do you want to make? I have a lot of materials here. You can come into the store and choose."

Su Mingjue smiled, held up a piece of black iron and handed it over, "Use This will do."

When the old man saw what Su Mingjue was holding, his eyes shone, "This is Xuan Tie! What the young master has is really good. What kind of dagger do you want to make?"

Mu Li was afraid that Su Mingjue was not familiar with making daggers. He spoke out his usual requirements: "The blade should be thin, and the blade should be medium-thick. My young master's hands are smaller, and the handle should be softer and thinner."

After hearing this, the old man narrowed his eyes, "The request that this person reported is not serious. "Hey, he seems to be an expert."

Mu Li cupped his fists and saluted, "After all, it's for personal use. Please pay more attention to

it." The old man's sharp eyes saw the sword on his body, "I made this sword for you." Go!"

Mu Li said coldly, "Yes."

The old man narrowed his eyes, "Since I am a regular customer, I will naturally be more concerned about the style of the dagger."

Su Mingjue nodded and gave instructions before leaving . He said: "You two stay here, I can go in alone."

Su Xiaoliu was not familiar with blacksmithing. He nodded when he heard this, but Mu Li was a little worried, "I'd better accompany the young master! I'm right This person has experience and can give the young master a lesson."

"No, I want to build one myself. Now that you say it, I will lose my own idea."

Mu Li had to give up after hearing this.
