Chapter 241: This Good General
When the long vine rolled, the crimson ink armor was obviously surprised.
It wasn't that he wasn't defenseless just now, but the previous magic circle trap still had some traces before it was launched, but these wooden vines really had no warning beforehand.
At this time, Li Shimin also let out a light laugh, and the long lance in his hand connected the dots, and easily picked up a pair of heavy hammers in the opponent's hand, making the latter's attempt to smash those wooden vines go to waste. For a while, he was unable to break free from the trap, so he could only continue to be hung in the air.
After that, he rushed in the direction of the west with a relaxed attitude, his body was light, and in an instant, he ran more than two hundred zhang in this dense forest.
The crimson ink armor tried to struggle a few more times, but found that the long vines that trapped him were so strong that even if he tried his best, he could only barely tear off one of them. But at this time, the number of long vines that tied his feet was twenty as large.
So he finally gave up his efforts, and he let out an unwilling howl in the direction where Li Shimin left: "Licheng Qin Qiong, dare to ask the name of the high surname!"
Li Shimin originally didn't plan to deal with it, but then his heart moved slightly, and the god sent a ghost to reply: "You can call me Jairus!
"Hey! You're a hidden person, you don't dare to say your name, why do you still use a fake name to prevaricate? What kind of god is bloody, this shouldn't be your Mojia's name?"
At this time, it was not Qin Qiong who answered, but another ink armor that had already escaped from the trap and limped to Qin Qiong's side.
When Li Shimin heard this, he burst into laughter: "Guess right! This is exactly the name of my ink armor, and I will definitely be famous in the Eastern Capital in the future." Today I will only give you a name, so that you may not find anyone. I hope that in the future, there will be a time to meet. ”
So the person behind him let out a muffled snort again: "Then remember, I'm Cheng Biting Jin! Next to me is Luo Shixin." This festival will be repaid in the future!"
It's just that when his voice fell, there was no reply in the distance, Li Shimin didn't speak anymore, and ran all the way forward.
And after Qin Qiong and Cheng bit Jin, Luo Shixin also controlled his broken ink armor and also limped over.
"Cheng Biting Jin, you guy, why are you reporting my name indiscriminately? It's already embarrassing enough this time, and I'm afraid that others won't know?"
"I see, if others don't know my name, it's not a shame. ”
Cheng Yanjin lifted his cheeks, with a look of sudden realization: "Shixin, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Luo Shixin snorted coldly, didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, and directly swung his knife to cut off all the wooden vines around Qin Qiong.
After the latter fell to the ground, he jumped up again, and looked at the direction of the 'Divine Blood Eyelet' again with a very tangled gaze.
"Don't look at it, people have already shown mercy. ”
This time, the person who spoke was a hundred and twenty zhang away, and a figure over there walked out of the forest quietly, it was Shi Mingyuan, who had not been seen before: "There is also news from the side of the boat." The one who died was the Iron God Pillar, one of the Four Heavenly Kings under Zhu Cang, and a group of minions under him, all of whom were heinous criminals. It was a massacre, but it was a great pleasure. There were a total of 2,000 plundering slaves under the boat, and the people were kind, so they not only gave each person a hundred copper coins, but also left rice porridge. ”
"It's the Iron God Pillar? That's really someone who deserves to be killed. No wonder he showed mercy to me and his subordinates just now, when I was hung up before, I thought I was dead. ”
Qin Qiong was stunned, and then sighed softly: "I don't realize that today's opponent is still a righteous man, but this makes me a little dilemma." ”
"A bird in a dilemma, the revenge that should be avenged still has to be avenged! At most, after beating him down, you must show mercy to one or two. ”
Cheng Yanjin snorted softly, with an unhappy look on his face: "Then again, who is this guy? This hand archery skill is so good, if it weren't for the three of us working together today, we would all lose in his hands, and it would be a shame." ”
After he said this, he remembered their situation now, which was actually even more embarrassing.
"I don't know, but since he said that he is Mojia and will be famous in the Eastern Capital sooner or later, then we should have a day to meet. ”
Luo Shixin snorted softly: "Originally, I thought that within the Eastern Capital, there was only one Li Shimin who might be able to get by." But I didn't mean that there was such a character besides him. ”
"Shixin, are you still thinking about challenging that Li Erlang?"
Cheng Yanjin laughed when he heard this: "I don't see a show, you will probably take it yourself." I also heard the details of the battle at the night banquet of the Qianqiu Festival that day, but they didn't even use their martial intentions, so they beat the three Turkic princes down. Replaced by Qin Qiong, there is still a possibility of five or six points. ”
"Whether there is a drama or not, you have to compare and talk about it, it's not something you can tell if you say. ”
After Luo Shixin finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Qiong again, and said with displeasure: "He's just a few years older than me." ”
"Okay! Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Eastern Capital, there are countless masters, how can you wait for a place where you can be presumptuous?"
Shi Mingyuan's face was cold: "Isn't today's lesson enough? Let's just say that the armor master of the ink armor just now is not yet sixteen years old! Don't think that if you suppress some homeless people in Shandong, you think that you can be invincible in the world." ”
When he said this, several people present gasped, and their eyes showed disbelief.
However, they also know that Shi Mingyuan's skill is special, and he has a kind of eyesight and magic power, which can observe people's vitality and qi - so the sentence 'less than sixteen' may still be reliable.
"Interesting, I'm really getting more and more interested in this so-called god blood eye. ”
Luo Shixin held the hilt of the knife in his hand, and his eyes showed a fiery color. But then he remembered something, turned his head and asked Shi Mingyuan: "Uncle, Ruopeng is it okay, right? ”
Qin Qiong's face also changed slightly: "Ruopeng, how is his injury?"
"Well! You're finally remembering it. I think Ruopeng would be moved to cry if he knew. ,”
Shi Mingyuan sneered: "Fortunately, Ruopeng is gifted and has a body of steel and iron, so the injury is not bad, and it has not hurt the lungs, and it is estimated that it will be healed within ten days." The arrow wound on the right wing is not worth mentioning, and it can be recovered with a little cultivation. However, the set of armor on its body is a little difficult to do, although there is no shortage of famous craftsmen in the Eastern Capital, but it is expensive. I'm afraid it will take two or three hundred thousand to restore it as before,"
When the three of them heard the last sentence, their faces changed drastically, and they looked down at their pitted and severely deformed ink armor, all of which showed expressions that were about to cry.
The ink armor of the Firewing Dapeng needs two or three hundred thousand yuan to repair, but the cost of this body on their body is not less?
After a long time, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity: "No, this trip to the Eastern Capital, I must make him look good!"
It's so annoying, the three of them together lost at least more than 200,000 yuan in this battle!

Li Shimin finally rushed back to his own courtyard before four o'clock.
Zhang Yurou quickly found out the reason - it was because Luokoucang had recently transferred the grain, grass and ordnance used by Qi County to quell the rebellion, and was repeatedly robbed by Wagang thieves and water bandits, Zhang Xutuo had no choice but to send a group of generals led by Shi Mingyuan, together with thousands of elite soldiers of Qi County, to Luokoucang to escort the second fleet organized by the imperial court to Qi County.
As a result, it was unfortunate that on the way to Beijing, this group of Shandong warriors ran into this tragic incident of suspected murder and slaughter of all ships, and they did not hesitate to catch up, intending to bring the murderer to justice, which also caused this 'misunderstanding'.
After knowing what was going on, Li Shimin ignored the matter. He was very interested in the three people who were chasing that day, and he had long heard of the prestige of the three tiger generals under Zhang Xutuo's command. But he also knew that he was two pounds, and it was impossible to recruit any of the three to his own banner.
Even if he is already a dignified Zhu Yi Zhige, Wu Meng is a lieutenant. With thousands of iron horsemen under his command, as well as two or three thousand soldiers of the forbidden army, he can be on an equal footing with Zhang Xutuo in terms of status - but Li Shimin knows that if he really opens such a mouth, it will be a humiliation for himself.
Especially Qin Qiong, who is arrogant, even if a general like Hu'er bent to recruit him in the past, he couldn't break his heart, let alone him Li Shimin, a mere junior?
In addition, he is also a busy person now, and he really has no extra thoughts to worry about.
The first thing to be busy with is military affairs, and after Li Shimin returned to the other courtyard, before he had time to catch his breath, he had to go to the military camp outside the city under the escort of a group of personal soldiers and attendants.
Before, he was only a thousand cows, and when Chongwen Pavilion was waiting, he was only in charge of some matters in the Xiaoguo Army, so he could ignore all the military affairs here and hand them over to his own generals. But now that he is a serious martial arts lieutenant, he can no longer deal with things like before.
Especially in the spring of next year, there will be a big parade before the second expedition of the Son of Heaven to Liao, if he Li Shimin doesn't want to be embarrassed, then he must train his subordinates to a certain level.
- He doesn't count on the strength of the border army, but an iron cavalry built with a lot of money can't even be inferior to the government army, right?
Fortunately, nearly forty percent of the cavalry soldiers recruited by the military department this time were Xianbei people, and the remaining Han sergeants were also good at horsemanship and martial arts.
Therefore, he only needs to let these knights know the changes in the battle formation and pass the golden drum order, so that this iron cavalry can barely form an army, and he will have a lot of peace of mind.
After all, riding is easy to learn but difficult to master. Learning to ride a horse is simple and can be learned by ordinary people in a day. You can learn to use weapons and bows on horses, master ink armor and mounts at the same time, command horses to cross obstacles, etc., but you must have at least half a year to achieve anything.
If you really start from scratch, then even if Li Shimin has great ability, you may train them into an army in the next two months.
