The waste prince is so fierce

"Mr. Ye, how about this knife?" Li Quan asked Ye Leng.

Ye Leng thought that Li Quan was testing him. After all, Li Quan knew so much about forging, how could he not see the pros and cons of this knife?

So he explained in detail the production process, craftsmanship and materials used in the knife.

"Your Highness's forging method is truly ingenious. In my opinion, although this sword cannot reach the level of the world's top ten famous weapons, it is not far behind." Ye Leng exclaimed sincerely.

After listening to Ye Leng's evaluation, Li Quan nodded.

Although this Tang sword did not make it into the top ten in the world, he did not care. You have to know that those famous swords were made by top swordsmiths using top-grade materials and took more than ten years of hard work.

This Tang sword in front of us was made in less than half a month, and we can make a lot of them for the army.

This is what Li Quan cares about most!

Seeing that Li Quan seemed a little uneasy, Mr. Ye said, "Your Highness, if you don't believe me, I can try this knife on you."

"How do you try it?" Li Quan asked curiously.

Seeing that Li Quan wanted to see the power of the sword himself, Master Ye turned to Li Pohuang and said, "Young man, go find some cowhide and show His Highness how sharp this Tang sword is."

Li Pohuang quickly prepared the cowhide.

Old Ye first took out a long sword commonly used by the Wuwei army and chopped at the stacked cowhide. The layers of cowhide were split into two halves.

"Your Highness, this is the long sword of the Wuwei Army. An average person can cut through seven layers of cowhide with it." said Mr. Ye.

Then, Mr. Ye took out a shorter knife and said, "This knife is made using the steel pouring and steel embedding techniques of metallurgical master Qi Wu Huaiwen."

"Su Tiedao? What is that?" Li Quan asked.

"It's just about softening pig iron, then hardening it to make steel. Then use the soft iron to make the blade back, and use animal blood and fat to quench it," explained Mr. Ye.

"Your Highness is really knowledgeable!" Old Ye was even more certain that Li Quan was a master of casting.

"Su Tie Dao can cut through thirty layers of iron armor and split fifteen layers of cowhide." After saying that, Old Ye chopped down again.

"Wow, sixteen layers were split!" Li Pohuang said as he counted the cowhide that was broken into two pieces.

Finally, it is the most critical Tang Dao test.

Master Ye asked Li Pohuang to hold the Tang sword and said, "I am old and not strong enough. You should try it."

Li Pohuang took the knife and looked at Li Quan. Li Quan nodded, and Li Pohuang chopped the cowhide with the knife.

All of a sudden, the slender Tang sword was inserted into the thick cowhide.

"Twenty-seven floors!" Li Pohuang counted excitedly.

"Your Highness, this Tang sword cast by Mr. Ye is simply a magical weapon!" Li Pohuang said to Li Quan.

He knew that what Li Quan was doing now was for the Black Tiger Guard. Thinking that everyone in the Black Tiger Guard could have such a good weapon, Li Pohuang was very excited.

"Great!" Li Quan also said, "Master Ye, you are really a master of sword forging!"

Splitting twenty-seven layers of cowhide was more than enough for the Black Tiger Guards.

"Your Highness, this magic weapon has been made. Please give it a name!" said Mr. Ye.

Li Quan thought about it and said, "Since it is made for the Black Tiger Guard, let's call it Tiger Blade."

"Tiger Blade? What a great name!" Old Ye praised.

Ye Leng and Li Pohuang said together: "Your Highness, all the Black Tiger Guards want the Tiger Blade. How long do you think it will take us to make it?"

When Li Quan saw that the Tiger Blade had been made, he was very happy and wanted to equip all the Black Tiger Guards with it immediately.

Ye Leng thought for a moment and said, "If we want to equip all the Black Tiger Guards with Tiger Blades, we need to make another ninety-nine. But Tiger Blades are very special weapons, and it's difficult to cast them. We may fail a few times. So, it will take about two months."

When Li Quan heard this, he felt that two months was a bit long and he hoped it could be faster.

So, Li Quan asked Ye Leng: "Mr. Ye, can you complete this task within a month?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Leng was surprised and said, "One month? We don't have enough manpower to make so many tiger blades in such a short time."

Li Quan thought for a moment and said, "No problem, Mr. Ye, I will find you as many people as you need. As long as you can make a hundred tiger blades within a month, it will be fine."

Seeing that Li Quan was so determined, Ye Leng agreed.

After Li Quan left Ye Leng, he returned to his own yard. He thought Mingyue, Xiaoqiu and Xing'er were still waiting for him to tell stories, but Xing'er was the only one there.

When Xing'er saw Li Quan coming back, she quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, there's news from the soap shop. I want you to go over there."

When Li Quan heard this, he thought to himself that he had just finished the Tiger Blade issue, so how come he had a new task?

So he hurried to the study of the soap shop through the secret passage. When he arrived at the study, he found Xiao Tingting was already waiting for him there.

When Xiao Tingting saw Li Quan, she immediately saluted. Li Quan waved his hand, telling her not to be polite, and then asked, "Manager Xiao, what's the urgent matter?"

Xiao Tingting replied: "It's news from Shopkeeper Liao. It might be about the soap."

When Li Quan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and wondered if there was something wrong with the soap?

"No, it's not like that."

Xiao Tingting shook her head repeatedly and explained, "Store Manager Liao sent a message saying that the owner of He's Store wants to see you. Their boss is hosting a banquet at Zuixianlou tomorrow night and has something important to discuss with you."

Li Quan's eyes lit up when he heard what Xiao Tingting said, and he thought to himself, "Is he finally unable to resist and is ready to take action?"

……

The next evening, Zuixianlou, the most lively place in Wuwei County, was usually bustling with people and traffic. But today it was unusually quiet, and many guests who wanted to have fun were blocked outside.

"Damn it, who is so bold as to book Zuixianlou?"

A wealthy man dressed in unusual clothes complained, "I finally found an opportunity to go out and have some fun, but now I'm told that they're closed today!"

His friend quickly pulled him back and whispered, "Shh! The owner of He's store is treating us today. If you don't want to live, I still do!"

The man curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Hmph, they are just relying on someone in their family to be an official to run rampant in Wuwei County. Sooner or later, someone will take care of them." Although he was not afraid of He Xun, when he thought of He Chong, who was the chief secretary of the He family, he could only curse him in his heart.

"Okay, if this place is closed, let's go to Yihongyuan."

His friend suggested, "I heard that Yihongyuan has recently had a few beauties from the Western Regions. They're quite interesting."

As they talked, the two of them left Zuixianlou and went to another entertainment venue.

Li Quan looked at the backs of the two people leaving and raised his eyebrows: "It seems that the He family is really rich. They booked the entire Zuixianlou in one go."

He knew that Zuixianlou was the most popular entertainment venue in Wuwei County, and it could not be booked without a huge price.
