At the same time, the cavalry of the True Kingdom gathered 10,000 troops to seek revenge.

After considering Xin Tanzhi's talents, Jiedu made Liang Yuan boldly support him to lead his troops to meet the Zhenguo army. Eventually, Xin Tanzhi defeated the offender again.

In the face of this victory, it can be said that the government and the opposition are jubilant!

Defeating the Zhenguo provocation is a great show of power for the border army that has been weakened for nearly a hundred years. As a result, Liang Yuan was favored by the lords in the court, and even the emperor issued a decree to praise him, and symbolically sent some materials to reward the soldiers.

As a result, Xin Tanzhi became famous in the army, and was made an exception by the Jiedu envoy to be promoted to deputy general, responsible for training cavalry to fight against the cavalry of the real country.

Recognized by the imperial court, the Jiedu envoy promoted Xin Tanzhi exceptionally and asked him to train cavalry. However, the training of new cavalry not only stumped Xin Tanzhi, but also the initiator of cavalry training, the Jiedu Envoy.

Victory was not easy to come by. In addition to the well-trained sergeants, they are not timid in battle, they are excellent in swords and horses, and they use strong crossbows against weak bows, and stainless steel swords and guns are the key points, but they are also the difficulty of cavalry training.

The small, high-range crossbow used immediately was developed by Sintan, but it was more expensive to make.

The bows, crossbows, knives and guns equipped by Xin Tanzhi's hundred-man team were all built by him, and the cost was secretly given to him by Yan Shizhen from home.

For this reason, Yan Shizhen, who was standing in his old age, was chased and beaten by his father all over the yard. His two older brothers clasped their fists and guarded the door, watching their father teach the untamed younger brother a lesson.

If you train a powerful border army, defeat the cavalry of the true country, recover the lost territory, and become an official and a knight, you will glorify your ancestors, and the future will be bright. However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. The task and goal are set. But there was no money.

The weapon configuration of the hundred-man team was obtained by Yan Shizhen in exchange for a good fight. With a cavalry allocation of 20,000 people, a few Yan families can't supply it. Besides, it was impossible for Xin Tanzhi to really force Yan Shizhen to bankrupt his family to support him.

Under Xin Tanzhi's repeated requests, Jiedu asked the court for money with a cheeky face. The courtiers who had strongly supported him suddenly stopped talking, and the emperor also became vague.

What do you say that there have been many wars for many years, the treasury has been empty for many years, there is no extra money, and the emperor still has an annex to build, so he can't stop repairing half of the annex and give him the money. The ministers persuaded him and complained that he was ignorant.

Although the wind and sand in the border area blew the skin of the Jiedu Envoy, the ears of the Jiedu Envoy were still soft, and his mind was still exquisite, so he obediently returned to the border land. Although he understood the relationship, Xin Tanzhi didn't understand, and after he started, the enthusiastic Xin Tanzhi ran to him several times a day, asking for money.

Jiedu couldn't stand this hot-blooded stubborn man, and used his connections to transfer Xin Tanzhi to Beijing to serve, but the most important task given to Xin Tanzhi was to ask for money from the imperial court to strengthen the cavalry of the border army.

If Xin Tanzhi can complete the task, it will also be a great achievement, and if he can't complete the task, he should also lose a burden. After all, the Jiedu envoy also understands that once Xiaojie, nothing can be changed, and without follow-up changes, this Xiaojie will soon be forgotten, or only boasting on the lips.

With this task, Xin Tanzhi was quickly transferred to Beijing after taking over the training of the border army for three months.

In the past few months in Beijing, the enthusiastic Xin Tanzhi has become even more depressed.

The people in the court knew that he was the one who defeated the cavalry of the real country, and they were also enthusiastic about him, and when he mentioned fighting against the real country and recovering the lost territory, those people began to pretend to be stupid. He wrote to the emperor for his strategy of governing the army, which was praised by the emperor, but after appreciation, there was no follow-up.

The people in the court know how to perceive the holy will. Before Xin Tanzhi could gain a firm foothold in the capital and fail to convince the emperor, he was sent to the south to be tamed by the wild and undeveloped people.

Xin Tanzhi lived up to the trust of the imperial court. In the past three years, he not only quelled the rebellion in Fandi, but also used the little power in his hands to train a local army.

This local army has just taken shape, and the people of the DPRK and China have heard about it. In order to make the emperor quiet and quiet, Xin Tanzhi was transferred to another remote place to sort out the security.

It is said that the poor countryside is out of the people, and it is extremely difficult to manage, but Xin Tanzhi is Xin Tanzhi! Wounded, he ran thousands of miles, just not wanting to fall under the rule of a foreign race. Now he can serve the country, although he is not valued, he has not shirked it.

It's just that, a few years later, after he had achieved something, he was transferred again.

Although he has political achievements, Xin Tanzhi is an idle person, and he has been writing to train soldiers and regain lost territory, so his several transfers are not promotions, but the places where he is transferred are poorer and his authority is more humble.

In this way, Xin Tanzhi, who was able to govern the army, pacified the chaos, and governed the people, has been delayed by some force in the dark.

I can't help but say that Xin Tanzhi's experience still has an impact on Yan Shizhen. If you can't stretch your ambitions with Xintan's great talent, what is the point of this reluctant scientific examination, and if you continue to take the exam?

The prodigal son Yan Shizhen persuaded his father to leave the academy and travel the world to study medicine.

Later, Xin Tanzhi's wife and son, who had been repeatedly frustrated, passed away one by one after accompanying him to taste all the hardships. Xin Tanzhi resigned from his official position, and during his travels, he became a monk and became a Taoist priest.

Six years ago, Xin Tanzhi, who was depressed in his heart, came to the border again, but accidentally saved Yu Hong. He used Professor Yu Hong to relieve the depression in his heart.

He thought that even if the imperial court did not need to remind the border troubles in this seemingly stable prosperous scene now, the border troubles would eventually become a major disaster, and at that time, the court would still need excellent generals. Yu Hong has been cultivated by him for many years with such a purpose and standard.

Now, for the sake of Yu Hong and himself, he has accepted Yunshu as an apprentice. However, since he already knew that Yun Shu was a girl, he didn't expect her to become a pillar of the country like Yu Hong at that time, just in case.

Xin Tanzhi and Yu Hong were wandering in their respective thoughts, when suddenly, a "boom" woke them up, and the smell of saltpeter and sulfur burning quickly wafted over.

"Master!" Yu Hong became sensitive to such sounds and breaths, and struggled to get up, but was held down by Xin Tanzhi, "Don't move, Master go and take a look." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

The pungent smoke wafted from the courtyard, and the source was in the backyard, and Xin Tanzhi hurried to the backyard. I heard the laughter in the backyard from afar, so cheerful and light.

Yan Shizhen let Yun Shu hide far away in the corner, she avoided the scorching cheeks, and the whiteness was still there. It's just that after the explosion, I ran over and saw my father-in-law's blackened eyebrows, and couldn't help but laugh. Yan Shizhen stretched out her hand to rub her little face, Yun Shu immediately turned into a flower cat, but not to be outdone, she used her white little hands to rub Yan Shizhen's face, and the more she rubbed it, the more the two laughed.

Xin Tanzhi looked at the two people, who were neither big nor small, and didn't know whether to laugh or shake their heads, so he sighed.

"Surprised you? Is Hong'er okay? Yan Shizhen turned his head when he heard this, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and his scorched black face was set off with a very funny look.

Xin Tanzhi looked at the mess in the courtyard and nodded, "Well, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I didn't refine the pill well, I didn't know that alchemy would have such a great power! Curious about how Hong'er got it in the morning? imitated it from "A Thousand Golden Fang". Yan Shizhen said fearlessly.

"You! At his age, he is still like a child, and his curiosity is so heavy! Just let Hong'er tell you no? Xin Tanzhi said speechlessly.

"Brother Hong!" Yun Shu's eyes were sharp.

Yu Hong, who was haggard, put on his clothes and also came to the backyard.

"Hong'er, you're just in time. What do you think was the cause of the explosion in the morning? Yan Shizhen felt that he was already very familiar with this young man.

Yu Hong looked at this middle-aged man with a blackened face, and saw that he was like a child, looking at him with curious eyes, which made Yu Hong feel incredible. This is the righteous father in Yunshu's mouth, the one last night?

"In the Danfang refining pills, there are quite a few explosions, but today's explosion is also the first time I have experienced it. I think it was probably caused by the charcoal fire on the pot burning too much and unable to support it, and it shattered, and the debris fell into the pot and came into contact with the slightly burned sulfur and saltpeter in the pot in a large area. ”

"You put the sulfur saltpeter in the prescribed amount?" It wasn't the first time Yu Hong had made alchemy, and Xin Tanzhi was also curious about how he blew up the Danfang.

"Yes, Master, I will follow the requirements of the Dan Fang, and I will weigh it by a nickname before putting it in the pot." Yu Hong said seriously.

"Probably not! With only that little weight, how could it be possible to blow up the entire Danfang? Xintan's face was puzzled.

Yu Hong thought for a while, pursed his lips and said, "Probably after weighing the sulfur saltpeter, he didn't put them back, but put them not far from the medicine pot." I think that after the charcoal fire fell into the pot, the first small explosion occurred, which lifted the charcoal fire on the top of the pot and fell into the medicine drawer, causing a second round of explosions. ”

"I still don't think I'm careful enough." Xin Tanzhi shook his head and said, "It's good that you and Mei'er are not in front of you, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Thank you, Brother Hong, for protecting me." Yun Shu ran over and wanted to hold Yu Hong, who was shaking a little. Seeing that his hand was black, he lowered his hand and stretched out his arm to Yu Hong to support.

In front of Yan Shizhen and Xin Tanzhi, Yu Hong didn't like to brush off her kindness, helped her arm, and said to Yan Shizhen: "Thank you for treating my injuries." ”

Yan Shizhen looked at this young man with interest, and talked for a long time, but there was never too much expression on his face, and he accepted it a little unnaturally in the face of Mei'er's gesture.

"I also want to thank Hong'er for protecting my eyebrows. In the future, we will be a family living under one roof, and Hong'er is not welcome. Isn't it, Mei'er? Yan Shizhen said and raised his chin towards Yunshu.

"Uh-huh. Brother Hong doesn't have to be restrained, it's like, uh-huh, it's very free here. Yun Shu wanted to say that it was like being in his own home, thinking of Yu Hong's experience of being chased and killed alone, for fear of provoking him, he swallowed that sentence back.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong here, you still have a wound on your back, go back and get some rest." Xintan's care.

"Yes, Master."

"Brother Hong, I'll help you go back." Yunshu looked at him with black and white eyes open, and said enthusiastically.

Yu Hong's cold eyes did not go away, hesitated, and nodded. Yunshu carefully helped him back to the front yard.

Seeing the two enter the front yard, Yan Shizhen said: "You apprentice, you are cold enough!" How did you bring it? ”
