The Arms Dealer Behind Li Yunlong in Bright Sword

Li Yunlong looks at the young man before him in surprise. The man claims to be an arms dealer and says he wants to work with him.

In the blink of an eye, Li's gaze shifts to the ten Mauser pistols on the table and the 6,000 rounds of 7.63 mm ammunition on the floor.

Jiang Peng looks at Li Yunlong. “Commander Li, these Mauser pistols and 6,000 rounds are my introductory gift to you.”

Li Yunlong fixes his eyes on the pistols. Their cold, hard frames gleam like beasts poised to strike. They are finely made, with sleek lines and clearly grained wooden grips that feel comfortable in the hand.

Beside them, the 7.63 mm rounds have hard, smooth brass casings and sharp bullets that radiate a chill. At a glance, he can tell the guns and ammunition are top quality and will pack a serious punch on the battlefield.

Jiang Peng says, “One hundred Czech light machine guns and one million rounds for them. I can also deliver fifty machine guns and 500,000 rounds in advance.”

At that, Li Yunlong quickly replies, “Brother Jiang, you have a deal. Ask around these parts, within ten li in every direction, and you'll hear that when I, Li Yunlong, give my word, I keep it. So, when can you deliver that advance payment?”

Jiang Peng answers, “In two hours, fifty machine guns and 500,000 rounds can be delivered near your regiment.”
