Chapter 18: Enablement
Lu Hongxiu was a little embarrassed and pushed out by the housekeeper of the Changsun Mansion, his brows were very tight, and as soon as he turned around, he met the eyes of a young master at the door of the Xiao Mansion on the other side.
Lu Hongxiu glanced at Xiao Zhe and was about to leave.
There was nothing wrong with his eyes! Xiao Zhe was surprised in his heart!
It wasn't until he watched Lu Hongxiu's figure disappear at the end of the street that Xiao Zhe turned around and went home.
Chang Shunde scratched his head, he couldn't understand His Highness's approach more and more, could it be that he stood at the door of the mansion for so long just to see that young man being kicked out by the eldest grandson's family?
As soon as he returned to the backyard, the man in black took a letter and handed it to Xiao Zhe, "Your Highness, this is a letter from Beijing, we can't stay any longer, if we don't go to Shengjing within the specified time, Concubine Yang will definitely be affected." ”
Xiao Zhe took the letter, raised his head and looked at the high blue sky, and suddenly ordered, "Shunde, go and tidy up your things, and we'll set off in a while." ”
He casually untied the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to the man in black, "Han Che, give this jade pendant to Changsun Hong, and let him agree to the man's request." ”
A trace of ripples flashed in the eyes of the man in black, "Your Highness! ”
"Go ahead! This matter is more important than my life! ”
The man in black pursed his lips vigorously, took the jade pendant and left the backyard.
When Xiao Zhe rushed to Shengjing on the road, Lu Hongxiu, who was unreasonably sent out by the housekeeper in the morning, suddenly received an invitation from the eldest grandson's family, and it was the highest standard invitation in Phnom Penh.
It didn't take half a day for the eldest grandson's family to pay for this batch of glass, not only that. They also promised to turn all the money exchanged for these colored glasses into the goods that Lu Hong wanted to repair, and send some people to help personally deliver them to Liangzhou.
Everything suddenly became very smooth, and Lu Hongxiu, who was going well, couldn't believe it.
But in the transaction, the chief steward of the eldest grandson family never mentioned Lou Zheng and General Lou once.
Although there are a lot of questions, at this juncture, Lu Hongxiu can't manage so much, and the most important thing is to send money and grain to Liangzhou as soon as possible.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and the food in the barracks could not last for three days.
The officers in charge of managing the grain cried every day, and the first thing they said when they saw General Lou every day was whether to control the food supply.
If we were to eat two meals a day, we would be able to eat at least five days.
Every time General Lou gave an answer to the officer, he shook his head.
This is half a month. Nearly 4,000 people in the army have been put on new uniforms. Some of the generals who followed him also changed into light soft armor, and all the horses of the Left Wing Army were fitted with horseshoes.
The barracks of the border army, which used to be full of gloomy scenes, are now full of vitality, and now the reward for daily training is no longer a full meal, but new military uniforms, military boots, and soft armor.
As long as the detachment that won in the daily training was won. You can change into new equipment first.
Time. The atmosphere in the border barracks was high.
Zhou Bi accompanied General Lou when he was inspecting the border army camp. I still can't believe in such a change.
Think about what these people were like half a month ago, and then look at the present half a month later, the change can be seen at a glance by anyone with a discerning eye.
Who would have thought of such a change. It's just a good meal, a new coat, a new pair of shoes, and a few pieces of soft armor.
When Zhou Bi knew from his old friend that these thoughts were all from Lou Zheng's mouth, he looked at this young girl differently.
"Brother Lou, how did you teach such a girl, I think the son of my old Zhou family probably doesn't have such a whimsical idea as a virtuous niece!"
General Lou shook his head ashamedly and sighed, "How did I teach it, in my life, the most sorry thing is Ah Lian, followed by my Jiaojiao, she was sent to Yaowang Mountain by me when she was three years old, and she was raised by Mr. Yaowang." ”
Hearing the sentimental words of his old friend, Zhou Bi patted General Lou's broad shoulder, "Brother Lou, you can't do this too, don't blame yourself anymore." In the future, I will definitely find a good family for my niece and nephew. ”
The two bigwig-level figures in the border army were talking, and a sergeant ran over quickly, with a young face that couldn't help but be excited.
"General, the Marshal's Mansion has sent something, so you must go and confirm it in person!"
Hearing the report of this young sergeant, General Lou and Zhou Shenjun's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly walked to the gate of the barracks.
There were two carriages parked there, and there were four old guards guarding them, and when they saw General Lou and Zhou Senjun coming, they made way for them.
One of the old guards arched his hand towards General Lou, "General, these things were ordered by the little lady to be sent to us, and the general was asked to take a look at them himself." ”
General Lou couldn't help but lift the lid of the huge wooden box in the carriage, glanced at it, and said happily: "Send it to the martial arts field!" ”
"Yes!"
Although the four old guards had been retired from the army for several years, when they heard the general's orders, they respectfully saluted like new recruits in the camp, and then escorted the carriage to the military camp arena.
I heard that the Shuaifu had sent something new again, and the generals who heard the news hurriedly ran to the martial arts field, and the general had a limited time to inspect the new things, so he couldn't see it if he was late.
For the first time, these officers and soldiers went to the martial arts arena more actively than they heard about eating and running.
By the time General Lou and Zhou joined the army to the martial arts field, the martial arts arena was already surrounded by soldiers and generals who came to see the excitement.
Seeing that Zhao Dutong was all there to train today, General Lou stepped forward and kicked him unceremoniously, "You kid still don't go to train soldiers, what kind of fun, aren't you afraid of military law?" ”
Zhao Dutong, who was kicked, didn't have any consciousness at all, this guy with thicker skin than the walls of Shengjing City even pouted his cheeks and found a better angle to make it easier for General Lou to kick.
"If the general likes to kick my thick belly, just kick it a few more times, just let me see the newly shipped weapons!"
This hooligan made General Lou roll his eyes angrily, glared at him fiercely, and ignored this faceless guy with his hands behind his back.
When I walked to the center of the martial arts arena, I saw that several old guards had already carried two large wooden boxes.
General Lou walked to the side of the wooden box, opened it himself, and then took out a bow and crossbow with the length of an adult man's arm from the wooden box.
This crossbow is very different from the crossbows that were used in the army in the past.
The first is the shape, and the second is that there are three holes in this crossbow, and all the soldiers present have used bows and crossbows, so of course they know what these three holes mean.
In the past, bows and crossbows had only one hole, which meant that only one arrow could be fired at a time, but this crossbow had three holes, which meant that three arrows could be fired at once!
Take guns as an example, an old-fashioned rifle with a bullet on a shot and a machine gun in a chain cannot be compared with the lethality at all.
