Chapter 127 It’s Hard to Live up to It

This time they brought over a thousand sets of heavy armor and five thousand weapons. The generals in each battalion were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Yang Zhao looked at the armor and remembered the heavy cavalry that Ling Qingyu had mentioned when chatting with them before. He looked at He Li and both of them understood. Ling Qingyu was helping them build an indestructible cavalry.

Du Ming had already brought the ten bandits who were willing to surrender to the army to go through the formalities. Before leaving, Sanhu wanted to come and thank the leader, but was told that he was not available. Seeing Du Ming smiling and talking easily, he unconsciously asked: "What about Master Ling and What’s the relationship with General Yang?”

Du Ming thought for a long time and said: "This question is too difficult to answer. I advise you to erase this question from your mind. Then you may be able to survive the war after spring."

After a busy meal of handing over the goods and collecting the grain into the warehouse, Ling Qingyu insisted on following along to see it, thinking about what the barracks lacked. After this, it was night.

Yang Zhao had his big tent cleaned and dinner was placed in the big tent. This was his big tent, but it was not the main tent for handling affairs. It turned out that when everyone heard that Ling Qingyu was coming, they all put down what they were doing and rushed over to eat and drink together.

With the new addition of chili pepper, the hot pot tastes even more refreshing. The cold wind is strong outside, but it is as warm as spring inside the tent.

Hearing Yan Qi talk about what happened in Qibucha, these people stomped their feet. If there were ten of them here, there would be no need to go back and just rob their warehouse!

Everyone was talking happily, but Yang Zhao's thoughts were only on Ling Qingyu, taking care of everything from picking up vegetables to holding handkerchiefs.

Ling Qingyu glanced at Yan San subconsciously. Yan San did not crowd around the hot pot, but leaned against the pillar beside the tent. When she looked over, he gave a don't worry smile.

Ling Qingyu felt a little sad in her heart. She couldn't blame anyone. She must be blamed by everyone. She had never encountered this kind of situation before. She always ended one relationship completely before starting another. But in this situation, she could not survive. After so many years, I haven't met him before, and I feel lost.

"If you want to reclaim wasteland, I can send my men to do it when there is no war." He Li said after hearing what Han Ju said.

Can the military still do this? Ling Qingyu's mind immediately turned away, and he approached Han Zong and his gang and asked, "Will this one be held accountable?"

"We can go for training, but the place can't be too far away." He Li said with a smile. Yang Zhao was now promoted to General Xuanwei from the fourth rank, leading the Xinzhou Jiedu Envoy, overseeing Liefeng Camp, Liehuo Camp, Liebian Camp and Zhuifeng Leijie Second Cavalry Battalion, a total of 50,000 people. Recently, the imperial court transferred 50,000 infantry soldiers to disperse the camp. Under his command, there are now a total of 100,000 troops. As deputy general Yang Zhao, he is now the fifth-rank general of Ningyuan. He is the commander of the Zhuifeng Camp and is responsible for managing the infantry camps. Everyone else has also been promoted. Now he is the commander of the fifth battalion. It is still possible to mobilize these soldiers to do private work.

"Well, this is best. Originally, I wanted to cultivate the harvest in the nearby mountains for your use." Ling Qingyu nodded unconsciously. Doing private work was something that happened in every dynasty. When it came to business, Ling Qingyu's head turned quickly, and after a while he asked again: "Is there a market here? It is a market dedicated to trading with Daliao Party items. We want their horses and resources, and give them silk. Spice treasure?”

She was so serious, which was very different from her shy and awkward look just now. Everyone laughed unconsciously, but He Li still replied seriously: "It turns out there is, but in recent years, there have been wars every year, so they have been locked up. .”

"Closed? What a pity!" Ling Qingyu sighed. She could sell spices and treasures through Gaoli, but horses and mines could only be imported from Daliao.

"Where do the best horses come from? How about simply transporting them from Arabia? Will the horses not die after traveling at sea for five months? This won't work." Ling Qingyu said to himself.

"Head of the family, I remember that there are better war horses in Dangxiang." Han Ye said with a smile.

"The Hetao Plain? How many horses can we get back if we take a convoy of spices and gems with us?" Ling Qingyu's eyes lit up and he asked.

"You're not allowed to go!" Yang Zhao held her hand, with a hint of cold sweat on his palms, and said, "The people of the Zhou Dynasty are being killed one by one on sight."

Ling Qingyu looked at it, okay, everyone's expressions were very bad, and he hurriedly said: "I'm just here to provide a plan for consideration. You won't be so stupid. Don't worry, don't worry."

It's a shame if I can trust you! Yang Zhao turned around and called out: "Yan San!"

"I know." Yan San replied with a smile to show that even if he knocked her out, he wouldn't let her take the risk.

Ling Qingyu, who was boycotted, expressed that he was very dissatisfied. There must be a shortage of luxury goods in Dangxiang now, and they can definitely be sold at a good price. It is a pity.

Ling Qingyu never bothered with things that couldn't be done. After a while, the topic turned to the production of defensive weapons and offensive weapons. This time, in addition to the 1,000 armors and 5,000 weapons, he also brought over ten companies. The crossbow was just brought here as parts and has not yet been assembled.

Ling Qingyu talked about the combo crossbow, and then found everyone looking at him with that expression again, and wondered: "What's wrong? Isn't this dangerous? It's no different from a farm tool if it's not installed."

"Master, you didn't tell me about this!" Han Zong sighed, and then immediately went out to ask someone to bring back the cart containing farm tools.

"I didn't say it? How could I not say it? I really didn't say it?" Ling Qingyu said to Han Shuo: "No, isn't Ding Dong supposed to explain this to you? Oh, I remembered, Zhou Tan didn't tell Ding Dong either."

She has always been meticulous in her work. If there is anything unclear, she will definitely confirm it clearly with others. This kind of thing rarely happens. When she said this, everyone looked at her unconsciously.

Ling Qingyu did indeed forget about this matter. It turned out that this was recently researched by Huang Jing. When loading farm tools, Ling Qingyu saw it and loaded the boat together. There were many things going on at that time, and it was just ten consecutive crossbows. She I didn't take it to heart, not to mention that I received the letter at that time, and it was even more chaotic when I arrived in Hangzhou, so I completely forgot about it.

Seeing the looks in everyone's eyes and the hint of whether they meant something like that, Ling Qingyu said: "Everyone, people always make mistakes. Don't do this and don't give people a chance."

Everyone smiled knowingly, which made Ling Qingyu even more angry. He repeatedly lamented that his prestige had been damaged due to such a commotion. It was already dark, so everyone dispersed and went back to their tents to rest.

Ling Qingyu was still thinking about going to the camp arranged for her when she saw Yan San bringing in many blankets and quilts from the carriage, and also went to find some braziers.

"Uh, isn't this good?" Ling Qingyu hesitated. This is a military camp after all, and she is a woman after all. The main tent is originally a place for commanding operations. Eating hot pot and being noisy here is a bit too much, if she also lives here.

"I'll send you to Daizhou County tomorrow. Let's make do together tonight." Yang Zhao took the brazier from Yan San's hand and put it into the inner tent together. The two of them cooperated. It didn't take long for the broken bed to be covered. The layout was comfortable, and it was warm inside the inner tent.

"I live in Dai County..." Ling Qingyu sighed. It was a little far away from here, but thinking about it, he couldn't stay for a few days before going to see the place. It was actually the same wherever he lived, so don't say anything.

"I bought a yard there. It will be more comfortable there than here." According to Yang Zhao's instinct, he just wanted to tie up this man's belt, but after all, it was inconvenient inside the military camp, and the conditions here were also poor. It's too difficult. Although this person is not the kind of person who likes luxury, he likes to be comfortable wherever he goes.

Because the grain team was on the road and there were few stations on the road, Ling Qingyu basically slept on the carriage these days. Now that he had a warm bed, he couldn't bear it any longer. He washed himself casually and went into the inner tent first to lie down on the bed. Duke Zhou went.

"Just one night?" After packing everything, Yan San looked at Yang Zhao and asked.

"I am injured and need a good rest. I will go to Dai County with you tomorrow." Yang Zhao said with a smile.

Yan San nodded and exited the tent. Yan Qi stood outside the door. When he saw him coming out, he said, "I asked Ying and the others to go to their tent with Han Ju and the others. I will guard it tonight while you go and rest."

"Yes." Yan San responded, but did not leave. He walked to the shadow outside the tent and sat down.

"Yan San?" Yan Qi followed and looked at him puzzled.

"It will be dawn soon, and we will leave for Dai County after dawn." Yan San stretched out his legs, rested his arms on them, looked up at the sky, and said.

Yan Qi also sat down next to him. After a long while, he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Are we two brothers who share the same fate?"

*********

Old man Zhang yawned, pushed open the wooden door, put out the tables and chairs, opened the stove and set up a steamer.

Old man Zhang said hello, and just as he took down the first cage of steamed buns, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the other side of the cold street, and old man Zhang stretched his neck to look.

Although it was already February, the early morning mist still contained frost, shrouding Dai County in a white mist. The sound of horse hooves became clearer and clearer in the mist, coming slowly and slowly.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the fog dissipated somewhat. The sound of horse hooves came from the corner of the street. First there was a horse head, then a knight in full armor, and then a pair of knights escorting two carriages. They appeared in front of Old Man Zhang. .

Although the cavalry was moving very slowly, Old Man Zhang felt an iron-blooded energy coming towards his face. He recognized this cavalry team. They were General Yang's personal guards, and the majestic general on the horse walking beside the carriage was standing there. It is the famous General Yang.

Old man Zhang put the buns on the table and quickly put his hands on the ground and knelt on the ground. His kneeling was not because of Yang Zhao's official position, but because Yang Zhao had been stationed at Heishuiguan for many years and prevented Dangxiang and Daliao from attacking many times. People in Daizhou were very grateful and respected him, not to mention that he was now a high official. .

"Such fragrant buns, boss, bring me a basket." The door of the carriage was opened, and a woman said to old man Zhang with a sweet smile.

Old man Zhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up, wrapped the buns that had just come out of the cage on the table, and handed them over.

The man on the driver's seat of the carriage took the bun from his hand, and then took out a handful of copper coins and gave it to him, but Old Man Zhang waved his hand and said: "No money, no money, General Yang is willing to eat the old man's buns, and the old man is too late to be grateful. .”

"Boss, it's not General Yang who's going to eat this money, it's me who's going to eat it." The woman smiled again, took the buns and retracted them into the carriage. The man put the copper coin in the old man's hand, raised the reins, and the cavalry continued to move forward.

However, those steamed buns don’t cost so much money, Old Man Zhang was about to say, but the cavalry team had already gone away.
