Chapter 9 Inside the West and Gate 3

The gloomy weather, the heavy cumulus clouds, and the long passage are all so overwhelming!

I saw Yan Ziming follow Leng Qing's line of sight and look at the arch where the patrol soldiers in jet-black armor disappeared, Yan Ziming didn't speak, just looked at the arch quietly.

Because of the disfigurement, Yan Ziming's seductive Danfeng eyes also changed into a pair of big round eyes, and at this moment, the big round eyes squinted slightly, as if he was reminiscing and thinking about something.

Yan Ziming stared at the arch quietly for a long time, and when Leng Qing felt that time was about to stand still, Yan Ziming opened his mouth to explain: "The people of the Red Ice Kingdom all think that in the west and inside the gate of the Palace of the Red Ice Kingdom, their current emperor is the supreme, followed by their prince, but the people don't know that between their emperor and the prince, there is still a forbidden army of tens of thousands of people!"

Leng Qing is an authentic Jiangnan woman, although her height of 1.73 meters is already very tall in Jiangnan Water Town, but in front of Yan Ziming, a northland man with a height of more than 1.8 meters, Leng Qing still looks a little birdy.

Yes, because of the height difference, Leng Qing has never been willing to stand too close to Yan Ziming, which will lead Leng Qing to tilt her head slightly every time she looks at Yan Ziming. But in modern times, Leng Qing's least favorite thing is to look at each other with his neck up, which will make Leng Qing feel very uncomfortable.

However, when Leng Qing was pulled under the gray-white wall by Yan Ziming before, Leng Qing and Yan Ziming stood almost side by side, which made Leng Qing have to raise her slender and white neck slightly every time she looked at Yan Ziming, otherwise she would not be able to look at Yan Ziming.

Therefore, every time she looked at Yan Ziming, although Leng Qing had no expression on her face, she was very helpless in her heart......

At this moment, Leng Qing had to raise her neck slightly to look at Yan Ziming, and asked suspiciously: "Forbidden Army?"

"From the founding of the Red Ice Kingdom to the present, the forbidden army has always been an army directly under the command of the emperor of the Red Ice Kingdom. Except for the current emperor of the Chibing Kingdom and the commander of every forbidden army, no one has the right to command the forbidden army, including the lord of the six palaces of the Red Ice Kingdom. Since the establishment of the forbidden army, the number of forbidden troops has always remained above 30,000. At its peak, the number of forbidden troops reached more than 50,000.

is also an army, and the treatment of the forbidden army, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation, is the highest level among all the armies of the Red Ice Country. For example, the jet-black armor worn by the patrol forbidden army just now. It is made of extremely pure Xuantie, and each piece of Xuantie armor weighs more than 100 catties! Although the army of the Red Ice Country is outside to defend the territory of the Red Ice Country, they are not even qualified to take a look at the Xuantie Armor!" Leng Qing asked Yan Ziming, but it was Mu Wen who answered her.

Listening to Mu Wen's ruthless voice, Leng Qing turned her head to look at Mu Wen, who had always been accustomed to being taciturn, but saw that Mu Wen was also looking at the arch where the patrol soldiers in jet black armor disappeared, and his eyes were dark and unpredictable, as if there was some unknown love brewing.

Although the pastoral text has been very detailed, Leng Qing is still a little unclear. I had no choice but to say: "Even so, there is nothing special about it! It can't be because their treatment is better than that of other armies, and the armor they wear is made of dark iron, which can show how special they are! After all, they are the army serving in the palace, protecting the safety of the palace and the emperor, and the treatment is better than those who serve outside the palace, which is also reasonable!"

In the history of Yanhuang, there are many types of armor, let's take the most common leather armor and Mingguang armor as an example.

Leather armor generally weighs about five to ten pounds, because they mostly use hard-cased leather. Some also have iron rivets, which are used to strengthen the defenses. The Mingguang armor generally weighs about 60 catties, and the main feature is that there is a large round or oval deck on the chest and back, which is polished. There is a dazzling reflection in the sun, just like a mirror, and the mirror of the Han Dynasty often has the cliché of "seeing the light of the sun, the world is bright", so Mingguang Jia got its name.

In terms of weight, the infantry armor of the Yanhuang Song Dynasty was the heaviest armor in the history of the Yanhuang Dynasty. The total weight is fifty-eight pounds. For this reason, the emperor gave an order to stipulate that the infantry armor should be limited to 59.6 catties. Thereafter, the weight of the armor of the pikemen was set at sixty-four to seventy pounds, fifty-six to sixty-six pounds for archers and forty-four to fifty-four pounds for crossbow shooters, as archers were often involved in melee combat.

In short, in the history of Yanhuang, there is no armor that weighs more than a hundred catties.

Thinking of this, Leng Qing couldn't help but add: "Besides, every day I have to patrol around wearing a hundred catties of dark iron armor, which is ...... I really don't see what's going on!"

Perhaps, in this other world, being able to wear a Xuantie armor weighing more than 100 catties is a different kind of honor in the eyes of Yan Ziming and Muwen, but in Leng Qing's opinion, this is not an honor at all, it is simply a kind of torture!

When Mu Wen heard this, he looked back at Leng Qing, and although his face was expressionless, he said in a stern tone: "Miss Leng's words are wrong! Those who can be selected into the forbidden army are all the best in the armies of the Red Ice Country. After these soldiers were selected for the forbidden army, they were sent to the foot of Tianfeng Mountain, where they underwent a year-long weight-bearing training in extremely harsh climates and environments. A year later, only all the soldiers trained by Tong Guò were eligible to return to the forbidden army, enter the palace of the Red Ice Country, and don that black iron armor. ”

Mu Wen's voice never fell, and Yan Ziming had already taken over the conversation-

Yan Ziming, who saw that he had changed his appearance as someone else, still looked at the arch where the patrol soldiers in jet-black armor disappeared, and said in a light tone: "At that time, the Xuantie armor weighing more than 100 catties was not worth mentioning to those soldiers at all. Wearing the Dark Iron Armor, they are the forbidden army with the highest treatment among all the armies of the Red Ice Nation. Taking off the Xuantie armor, everyone is as light as a swallow and flies off the wall, even if it is a first-class master in the rivers and lakes of the Nine Kingdoms, it may not be the opponent of the lowest forbidden army!

Moreover, the founding emperor of the Red Ice Kingdom gave the forbidden army the privilege of 'if someone who wants to do evil is found in the imperial city, no matter what his status, he can cut it first and then play'. More than 80 years ago, there was a prince in the Red Ice Kingdom who intended to commit a rebellion at the palace banquet at the end of the year, but his intention was discovered by a forbidden military first...... Although he beheaded the prince with a knife, the forbidden army did not suffer the slightest reproach, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the forbidden army.

Moreover, although there are more than 30,000 people in the forbidden army, they only care about the affairs within the Xihe Gate of the Imperial Palace of the Red Ice Country, and when they go out of the West and the Gate, unless the emperor of the Red Ice Kingdom is in danger, otherwise, even if someone kills the prince of the Red Ice Country in front of the West and Gate, the soldiers of the forbidden army will not take a second look. Therefore, as long as you are honest and safe within the Xihe Gate, and do not say or do anything that will misunderstand the forbidden army, you will not provoke the forbidden army. ”

"You guys talk about it, the first ones are just foreshadowing, and the last two points are the most important! For these two points, I just want to say - the laws of your Red Ice Kingdom are really not flattering!" To sum up, looking at Yan Ziming and then at Mu Wen, Leng Qing gave such a summary.

Speaking of which, Leng Qing finally understood why Yan Ziming and Mu Wen were afraid, no, to be precise, they should be afraid of the group of patrol forbidden soldiers in jet black armor who walked in front of them just now.

What kind of treatment the forbidden army of more than 30,000 people enjoys, for Yan Ziming, who is the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom, it is not worth mentioning, and Yan Ziming will not care. Because the treatment that Yan Ziming himself enjoys as the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom is definitely not comparable to a mere forbidden army.

What really made Yan Ziming and Mu Wen care was the privilege that the founding emperor of the Chibing Kingdom gave to the forbidden army, and he had never taken back until now, "If someone who wants to do something wrong is found in the imperial city, no matter what his status, he can cut it first and then play"!

It is precisely because of this "privilege" that even Yan Ziming, who is the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom and the future emperor of the Red Ice Country, does not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the forbidden army in the Xihe Gate of the Red Ice Kingdom's palace.

Yan Ziming, who had a baby face, finally withdrew his gaze from looking at the arch all the time, and turned to look at Leng Qing who was standing side by side with him beside him.

I saw Yan Ziming purse his lips and smile, and continued to lean over and whisper in Leng Qing's ear: "Indeed." However, there is a sentence you said before, you are wrong, I am the future monarch of this Red Ice Country, and you want me to fear them, they are not qualified enough. I'm not presumptuous in front of them, I just don't want to cause myself unwarranted trouble until then, you ...... Do you understand?"

"Hello !!" Yan Ziming's voice fell, and Leng Qing sneezed very shamelessly.

Leng Qing's sneeze was really loud, and even the light sky-blue silk scarf she wore on her face was squirted.

Wrinkled his nose and looked at Yan Ziming, who had already stood up straight, Leng Qing begged without tears: "Okay, okay, let's not waste time here, hurry up and go to your East Palace?"

Slightly lowering his eyes and looking at Leng Qing, who was obviously wearing three thick pieces but was still so cold, Yan Ziming was also speechless and asked the sky.

Raising his eyes to look at Mu Wen, who was standing behind Leng Qing, wearing only a thick coat, and holding a very ordinary three-foot Qingfeng in his left hand, he had always been expressionless and rarely had emotions, Yan Ziming commanded in a lazy tone: "Mu Wen, you go back to the East Palace first, and let the people in the palace burn the earth dragon in the dormitory." Also, let Wang Quan's house burn two silver carbon stoves in the dormitory, and Leng Qing and I will arrive later. ”

For Yan Ziming's master's orders, Mu Wen never questioned it, he always respectfully accepted the order, and then handled things one by one, and this time it was the same-

"Yes!master!" Yan Ziming's voice fell, and Mu Wen respectfully surrendered his hand and left. (To be continued.) )
