Chapter 41: Stunned

Lou Zheng sighed in her heart, it is true, if she does not have the experience of traveling through various small worlds, and does not have the baptism of material life that is unimaginable in the later generations of the Great Wu Dynasty, I am afraid that she will not be able to avoid vulgarity in the face of such a huge wealth.

"Senior brother, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble Senior Brother all the time before I return to Beijing." Lou Zheng said with a smile.

Lu Hongxiu shook his head, "Senior sister and I don't have to be polite, after sending you back to Shengjing, I will take my master to the capital together." ”

Lou Zheng nodded, understanding Lu Hongxiu's considerations.

Master Yaowang is nearly eighty years old, although Yaowang Mountain is a treasure land of feng shui, but after all, it is sparsely populated, and it is in the hidden mountains, once something happens, it is inconvenient not to say, it takes them a lot of time to rush over, the old man has been in seclusion for half a lifetime, and the old age should also enjoy pleasure in the crowd, and their brothers and sisters are filial.

Lou Zheng does not plan to let his father stay in the north all the time, the fallen leaves return to the roots, although the father has a dislike for the old lady in the family, but after all, the father is the descendant of the Lou family, although General Lou has never said it in front of her, but his heart must have always longed for the understanding and understanding of his family.

The old lady is also her father's mother-in-law.

And if the main mansion in Beijing continues like this, even if General Lou becomes a first-class member, he will not be able to protect the entire Lou family.

The brother and sister talked for a while, and Lou Zheng personally went to the backyard Aunt Huang and Aunt Xie's garment workshop.

That night, General Lou asked the guards to send a message back to his daughter, and he stayed in the camp tonight to catch up with a few officials from Beijing, so he would not return to the house, and would return tomorrow morning. Let Lou Zheng prepare a family banquet and receive these people at noon.

Lou Zheng wrote a reply to his father, thought about it, and turned around to tell the medicine slave the dishes for tomorrow's family banquet.

As soon as Commander Liu of Zuo Wuwei and Lord Langqiu of the military department entered the barracks of the border army, they were immediately suppressed by the battle of the training ground of 10,000 people.

Because it was summer, on the training ground, the soldiers were all shirtless and fighting military fists, and the steel-like hard fists and the cold murderous aura almost froze the entire training ground.

This group of border troops has seen blood in the end, which is different from those soft Guanzhong troops with only flowers.

Look at these soldiers, each of them strong and majestic. The chest and abdomen are all hard pieces. Look at it, there is energy, this kind of body, but you can't go hungry, you must first have abundant food. Secondly, you have to exercise diligently.

Look down. Finally fell on the feet of the soldiers. Ooh! It turned out to be all thick-soled and black-faced boots, these boots looked half-new, and they must have just been put on not long ago.

Zuo Wuwei's eyes immediately turned red with jealousy.

Damn. None of his little soldiers wore such good military boots, and now a border army shoe is better than Zuo Wuwei's!

General Lou led these people to beat horses and slowly walked through the training ground, and the trumpet shouted on the training ground made people's blood boil when they heard it.

"After the training ground, it is a martial arts field, and behind the martial arts field is a horse field, and the cavalry of the left wing army generally trains in the horse field on weekdays." General Lou and several colleagues introduced the border army barracks.

After passing the training ground, Master Qiu suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a group of soldiers running around a small ball on the martial arts field, among which more than 100 people stood by and watched, and let out a burst of cheers from time to time.

"General Lou, what are those soldiers doing?"

General Lou didn't understand the rules of Keju yet, so he asked Zhou Senjun beside him to explain it to a few people.

"Back to a few adults, those soldiers are playing Keju, which is an activity similar to polo, except that the ball is not beaten with a stick, but kicked with a foot, and the soldiers have little entertainment in the barracks on weekdays, so the general rewards the team that wins the training every ten years can rest for half a day, and play Keju in the field specially split in the martial arts field."

In fact, the reward and punishment system for this training is still suggested by Lou Zheng to General Lou, now the food in the barracks is good, the general military food can no longer inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers, it is better to use this special activity as a reward, football is a sport that is very popular with men, I believe it is the same in the Dawu Dynasty.

The rules of Keju are very simple, in fact, they remove the polo bat and horse from the polo, which reduces the danger and makes it more enthusiastic.

Commander Liu, Lord Qiu, and two middle-aged men with half-masked faces all stopped at the edge of the martial arts arena for a while, looking at the soldiers who were sweating wantonly on the field.

One of their players wore a long black cloth towel on their heads to distinguish their teammates from the enemy, and they had been playing for half an hour, and the short clothes on both sides were soaked with sweat, and one of the short but exceptionally strong soldiers made a feint with the ball at his feet to deceive the enemy team members who stopped him, and then ran quickly in the direction of the enemy's ball frame, just as one of the enemy players was about to snatch the ball away with an oblique tackle, the short soldier hooked his left foot and passed the ball to his teammates who were less than five steps behind.

The medium-sized soldier who got the ball exerted his strength at his feet, and the ball flew up, then grazed the goalkeeper's waist and fell into the open rectangular bamboo basket.

The ball is in!

Suddenly, the soldiers with long black cloth scarves tied to their foreheads cheered excitedly.

Commander Liu couldn't help but slap hard, his eyes lit up with bright light, obviously this goal just now made his blood boil, and he couldn't wait to get off the field now and make a shot in person.

General Lou looked at this group of soldiers with a smile, remembering the scene when he watched these energetic soldiers play football for the first time two months ago, and it was also like Commander Liu!

The horses under the crotch snorted impatiently because of Commander Liu's movements, and Commander Liu realized that he had forgotten his words and deeds when he was excited, and he smiled awkwardly at General Lou and Zhou Senjun, "General Lou and Zhou Senjun don't want to laugh, I really can't help it!" ”

General Lou smiled and comforted him.

After visiting the martial arts exercise ground and training ground, there were already so many places in the border army barracks that surprised them, and a few people from Shengjing couldn't believe that such an upbeat military camp was actually the lowest border army birth.

If this is pulled to Shengjing for a walk, the dignitaries who don't know will still think that this is His Majesty's Imperial Forest Army!

Commander Liu and the squire of the military department suppressed the doubts and surprises in their hearts and continued to visit.

The horse farm is some distance from the barracks, and the temporary slaughterhouse of Lou Zheng was located here, but it has been moved to a special place some time ago, and now it has been restored to a vast grassland.

A large area of the grassland was circled and enclosed with wooden railings, and it was General Lou Da's 5,000 cavalry of the Left Wing Army who were training inside.

The leading cavalry was riding on tall and strong steppe horses, with their heads held high and full of momentum.

He was wearing a special leather soft armor with a dark gray color, a silver red tasseled spear on his back, a trident and a small steel hammer hanging from his waist, and a strange but extraordinarily safe iron helmet on his head.
