"Daddy, although these soft armors are good and the production process is not complicated, we can't get enough of the cowhides needed to make soft armor at once, so this kind of soft armor can only be provided to the generals first." Lou Zheng told his father the truth.

General Lou's eyebrows twisted, "Jiaojiao, you said that this light soft armor is made of cowhide?" I don't know what kind of cowhide? ”

Lou Zheng smiled, "Daddy, don't worry, this cowhide is naturally not a buffalo cultivated by farmers, most of them are yak skins collected from Hu Shang." ”

Hearing Lou Zheng say this, General Lou's eyes lit up suddenly, "Yak? Isn't that the cattle raised by the barbarians? Jiaojiao, maybe Daddy has a way to get you a lot of these cowhides. ”

Lou Zheng didn't expect that there would be such a surprise now, and hurriedly said: "If Daddy can get a large number of yaks, then the soft armor will be gone, the yak is not only useful, but the whole cow is a treasure!" ”

"Okay, Daddy will go to the barbarian territory tomorrow to see it himself."

"Dad, I'm with you!"

Since Lou Zheng changed the status quo of the border army step by step, General Lou Da has not interfered much in her meddling in the affairs of the military camp, and he also agreed to come down when he heard the words.

After Lou Zheng came out of General Lou's study, he did not go back directly to rest, but was accompanied by the medicine slave to Lu Hongxiu's courtyard.

Lu Hongxiu's courtyard was still lit up, and as soon as he entered his small courtyard, he found that there were many lanterns hanging around the courtyard.

Hearing the sound at the gate of the courtyard, Lu Hongxiu turned his head and glanced at Lou Zheng. Then he straightened up and wiped a handful of fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, "It's so late, why is my sister here?" ”

Lou Zheng looked at Lu Hongxiu's deep face under the lamplight, and instantly felt a little mixed in his heart, but soon this feeling was forcibly driven away by her.

"Senior brother, there's something I want you to help me with."

Lu Hongxiu smiled, refreshing and handsome, "I accompanied my junior sister to Liangzhou this time to be my junior sister's arm, how can my junior sister be polite to me." ”

Lu Hongxiu picked up the hoe on the side. invited Lou Zheng into the hall of the small courtyard.

More than a quarter of an hour later. Lu Hongxiu held a lantern to send Lou Zheng out of the courtyard, standing at the gate of the courtyard, Lu Hongxiu said: "Senior sister, rest assured, this matter will definitely live up to the trust." It's just that the senior brother left. The herbs in this small courtyard have to be taken care of by my sister herself. ”

Lou Zheng smiled dumbly. "Senior brother's herbs. I will definitely take care of it with all my heart. ”

The next day, General Lou and Lou Zheng took their guards to personally send Han Chengfeng and Lu Hongxiu and his party to Shili Pavilion outside Liangzhou.

Lou Zheng looked at the team on the road with two boxes of glass, and his mind had drifted far away unconsciously.

There were 100 people in this team. Eighty of them were General Lou's retired old guards and trusted generals in the barracks, and the remaining twenty were less than Han Chengfeng and his personal guards who had followed him for many years.

Lou Zheng had already told Lu Hongxiu all the details.

Lu Hongxiu's trip to Tianjinggang will determine the fate of the Liangzhou border army.

Lou Zheng took a deep breath, waved his hand vigorously into the distance, and said softly: "Senior brother, take care!" ”

As soon as the voice came out, it was blown away by the cold north wind.

"Jiaojiao, let's go back!" General Lou patted his daughter's slender shoulder.

It would take five days to get from Liangzhou to Tianjinggang, even if it was a rapid march.

And that's the speed of non-stop conditions.

The night was pitch black.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the narrow official road.

After a day, this group of samurai soldiers who went to Tianjing Harbor to "grab money" has clearly divided into two factions.

The most people are the general Lou faction led by Lu Hongxiu, and the other small half is Han Chengfeng and his personal soldiers.

Entering Changbailing, it is inaccessible, and there are no villages and post stations on the Changchang Mountain Road, so tonight, this team has only one choice, that is, camping.

After some deliberation, the group of 100 stopped at the edge of a small forest.

As soon as all the soldiers dismounted, they were divided into two regiments.

Han Chengfeng glanced at Lu Hongxiu on the other side, snorted, and glanced at one of his subordinates.

The subordinate was about to move the box transported by Lu Hongxiu with two people, but unfortunately, just as the two soldiers were about to stretch out their hands, they were stopped by an old guard of General Lou.

"What are you doing, the general ordered, the two boxes should be separated, this is a military order! Are you going to break the order? The old guard glared and said angrily, and in an instant, several veterans stood up behind the old guard to block the box.

Han Chengfeng, who was not far away, jumped his eyelids and winked at the guards who went to move the box, and the three of them apologized perfunctorily and retreated.

The old guard took a hard bite of the dry food he was carrying, and ordered several people to unload the box and put it in the safest place.

Lu Hongxiu sat by the fire and looked at the situation just now with cold eyes.

The team ate dry food around the fire, and after the men were assigned to set up sentry, the rest rested.

Everything seems to be going on in an orderly manner, but in fact, changes are slowly brewing with the passage of time.

In the second half of the night, Han Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes.

In the darkness, his eyes were shining like wolves, his expression was clear, and there was no trace of hazy sleepiness at all!

He got up lightly and gently stabbed the two subordinates beside him, and then he looked at the team not far away, which numbered several times as many as them, and narrowed his eyes, and it took a while to endure the greed in his heart and wave his hand at his men.

In less than half an hour, Han Chengfeng disappeared into the depths of the woods with more than two dozen personal soldiers and the wooden box full of treasures.

Rao is when Lu Hongxiu found that their team had disappeared, and it was too late to catch up.

Vice General Han ran away with his belongings and the lives of 30,000 border troops!

Lu Hongxiu led the people to ride horses on the narrow official road in the mountains, looking into the distance, and most of the remaining centaurs were obviously depressed.

The team in the old guard was asking Lu Hongxiu beside him, "Lu Gongzi, what should we do now, do we still want to chase after us?" They should have been walking for less than half an hour, and if they followed the clues now, they might be able to catch up. ”

When he set off, Lou Zheng privately told these veterans that everything on the road was up to Lu Hongxiu.

The old guard has been a soldier for half his life, the first one who is convinced is his own general, and the second one is the little lady, the little lady has been in Liangzhou for just ten days, and he simply admires the five-body throw.

The old guards are regarded as good soldiers, and they are naturally the most discerning at this time.

Lu Hongxiu looked at the mountain road hidden in the clouds and mist in the distance, shook his head after a while, and told the truth to the veteran, "Don't chase it, let's go directly to Tianjinggang, before I left, my junior sister had already mentioned this possibility to me." ”

The old guard was shocked, "Mr. Lu is saying that our little lady had expected such a thing to happen?" ”

Lu Hongxiu turned his horse's head and chuckled, "Yes, your little lady is even more powerful than you think!" ”
