Chapter 0151: Assassination
A team of ironclad cavalry escorted a white-horse cart and quickly drove towards the secret engineer factory of the Eighth Division.
When he came to the gate sentry, the carriage turned into the gate without stopping.
The guards at the gate saluted the people in the car with a spear in their left hand and a fist in their right hand against their chests.
This pair of people and horses, led by Zhang Han, the patrol captain of the Eighth Division, rode on the jujube red horse in a healthy posture, showing a hundred times more spirit.
Chen Mu and Hanxiang sat in the car, Chen Mu stretched out two fingers of his right hand, a little in front of his head, and gave the soldiers a special military salute.
Now General Chen Mu's special military salute has been accepted by the majority of soldiers, but except for Chen Mu, no one else dares to salute like this.
Hanxiang sat aside, watching Chen Mu's action, with a hint of love at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, but she just glanced at it and turned her head sideways. Hanxiang deeply knows that women can't be too active, otherwise they won't be worth much. If you like it in your heart, you must be at least reserved.
When the carriage stopped, the coachman jumped out of the carriage and set up a three-story ladder for the general.
Chen Mu walked down first, half-turned, and stretched out a hand to Hanxiang.
Han Xiangwan'er smiled, put her slender jade hand on Chen Mu's hand, lifted the skirt with one hand to reveal the green cloth boots, and walked down gently.
Chen Mu took Zhang Han, Hanxiang and others to the secret arsenal.
In the noisy sapper factory, a group of sappers are working overtime to manufacture incense machines, and at the same time, the research and development of shuttleless looms has also entered the sprint stage.
Regarding the shuttleless loom, Chen Mu just has a concept, and he doesn't even understand the principle.
But just a glimmer of concept has sparked a research and development boom. I have to admire the ingenuity of the Chinese people, these skilled craftsmen have been studying day and night, and finally passed the principle stage and entered the experimental stage.
Chen Mu took Hanxiang to see the machine, and at the same time explained some newly mastered mechanical principles to her, and Hanxiang even claimed that it was wonderful.
"Uncle, you're a carpenter wizard. The first crusher, later the incense machine, shuttleless loom, how did you come up with it? ”
Chen Mu smiled ashamedly: "None of these things were invented by me, I just borrowed them." ”
"Really? Which hermit master do you borrow? ”
"Well..., he didn't want to give his name. I don't want to publicize it. ”
"Uncle liared."
"Huh."
I walked around the arsenal, had a meal with the sappers at noon, and asked for a song on the piano with incense. After giving out some more money benefits, Chen Mu took people out of the workshop and got into the carriage.
Chen Mu jumped into the carriage first and helped Hanxiang up hand in arm.
The girl's hands are as warm as jade, and they are very beautiful.
The two sat down, and the carriage moved slowly.
Han Xiang frowned and smiled: "Uncle is the most modest, if the carpenter's craftsmanship is a reference, where do those business methods come from." Not to mention that this is also a reference. I don't believe it. ”
Chen Mu smiled and said, "This ......"
"Bang!"
An arrow came.
The arrow pierced through the curtain and grazed Chen Mu's forehead.
Hanxiang was stunned for a moment, followed by a scream.
Chen Mu pulled Hanxiang to lie under the car window.
There was a noise outside the car, and Zhang Han was already shouting for someone to raise a shield to surround the carriage, and then heard a string of horses' hooves scattering in all directions, shouting to chase the assassin.
Chen Mu turned his head and looked at the arrow, it was not the system of the Shence Army, nor the system of the Xuanjia Army, but more like the duck feather arrow that killers are used to.
Zhang Han lifted the corner of the curtain and looked inside.
Chen Mu said: "I'm fine, go back to the division headquarters quickly." ”
"Whoa."
"Assassinate General Zhonglang under my nose! And let him shoot the arrows! Are you all eating dry rice when you are fighting in the front? ”
Zhang Han returned to the lieutenant office of the general guard, angrily threw his arm crossbow, and scolded the pioneer fast horse.
"A bunch of rice buckets!"
Thirty iron cavalry knelt in front of the captain of the guard, not daring to raise his head.
"We even let him run away, and we will lose the face of Weisi!"
Zhang Han was so angry that his ribs were swollen and painful, his forehead was red, and he strode around, like a wandering angry leopard.
At this time, the lame man walked in, asked the soldier to retreat, and said to Zhang Han alone: "In the future, Chen Mu will go out again and take the iron car." Fortunately, today's car has a curtain, if there is no curtain, I think nine times out of ten I will be injured. ”
Zhang Han was discouraged, sat in the chair, and remained silent.
The lame man smiled and said, "With Chen Mu's combat power, even if that arrow hits him, he won't be able to die." That kid cherishes his life, he wears soft armor on his body at all times, and he never leaves his front and back heart glasses. I'm afraid that an arrow will hit the eye, and no matter what kind of master can't escape it. ”
"Who would do it?" Zhang Han finally spoke: "Could it be the Xuanjia Army who did it?" ”
The cripple stroked his goatee: "It shouldn't be Cao Sui." The battle between Cao Su and Chen Mu is ostensibly for profit, but in fact it is famous. Now that Cao Su is taking advantage, there is no need for him to kill Chen Mu. It didn't do him any good. ”
Zhang Han was puzzled: "Who could it be?" ”
The cripple frowned, "I suspect it has something to do with his identity." ”
"Could it be the Down's Gate Valve?" Zhang Han stood up and asked with concern.
The cripple shook his head: "Not like that." ”
Zhang Han was anxious: "Who do you guess it will be?" ”
"Queen Mother." The cripple rubbed his forehead: "The Queen Mother is already sitting firmly in the throne, why did he kill Chen Mu, I don't understand." I will send someone back to Luoyang to inquire. ”
Zhang Han was even more confused: "Tell me what you think." ”
The cripple smiled: "My idea may not be right, but I think I can follow this line of thought." Chen Mu and Zhao Mu are twins. The problem is serious. Although it is not very likely that he will compete for the throne now, it is not without a chance. And the Queen Mother does not allow others to have this kind of opportunity, even a little bit. ”
Zhang Han thought for a while: "Forget it, I don't care who the fuck wants to harm Chen Mu." Anyway, I won't let him go out in the future. ”
"How can that work. Zhonglang will not go out and stay at home all day? Also, do you think it's safe to stay at home? The cripple shook his sleeves: "Don't be too nervous, I don't think it's that serious." Since the other side sent assassins to assassinate them, we can also find killers to kill them. Hopefully catch a tongue. ”
Zhang Han said: "The people around me lack training, in fact, I myself lack the training to protect the generals. I see that the formation of the Royal Guard and the Gate Valve Guard's Guard is very regular, I don't know if you can train? ”
The cripple said, "That's what I've come to you for this time." You guards can only stand in a salute, so how can you do that? You go and pick a few big ones, and as soon as Chen Mu goes out in the future, there will be at least four people standing in front of and behind him. Before the general traveled, he sent a bright and dark sentry to dispatch. When the general stays in a certain place for more than a quarter of an hour, he has to rearrange the light and dark posts. ”
The first is the latest.
