Chapter 18: The Darkiron Sword
Sun Wannian and Liu Fan returned to the military village where the A Brigade was stationed, Sun Wannian announced the mission of the A Brigade tonight in public, because the time was already at the right time, and there was only one and a half hours left before the general attack, Liu Fan and Zhang Ting discussed it a little, and divided the more than 800 ugly battalion soldiers into three teams, namely sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and straight knife soldiers.
By the time Liu Fan and Zhang Ting led a battalion of soldiers to the Shenwu Army A Brigade, the soldiers of the brigade were ready to go.
As soon as Li Min saw Liu Fan and his entourage coming, he said, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you." ”
When Liu Fan and Zhang Ting gave a military salute to the two, they heard Li Min say to Old Man Chen again: "Uncle Chen, you and Uncle Guo are really, you have to trouble Brigade Commander Liu, in your eyes, I can't help but fight like that?" ”
"If you say this, then he can protect you, who doesn't know the skills you have practiced since childhood, but you lack some actual combat experience, so that you are mainly young people who can communicate well, and you can also communicate with each other in terms of war, you have also seen it in the past two days, Brigade Commander Xiao Liu really has a set of wars."
As soon as Liu Fan heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, it turned out that he had caught a strong man, but he didn't fall well, alas, the young lady of this big family is really not good to serve, yes, admit it, who let this Shenwu Army A Brigade belong to their family, no, it seems that the entire northwest camp is their family, people are under the eaves, and those who don't bow their heads can only be honest and work in a down-to-earth manner.
At this time, Li Min glanced at the battalion of men and horses brought by Liu Fan, and said, "I listened to the throwing gun you said today, and I was a little curious, since I still have to enter the city to fight today, you let each of your soldiers bring a few more throwing guns, it is not a precious thing, maybe it can be used on the spot, if you don't need to get in the way, just keep it in your hand, do you think it's okay?" ”
Liu Fan immediately replied: "What's so difficult about this. He turned around and ordered a few words to Zhang Ting.
While talking to Li Min, Old Man Chen coldly observed Liu Fan who was standing aside, and saw that although this kid was only a young man in his early twenties, his demeanor was respectful and his demeanor was calm, and he didn't show any expression on his face after listening to Li Min's conversation with him.
Xin said: "If this kid is not a very kind person, then he must be a person who is extremely deep in the city." Then he turned his head to Li Min and said, "Xiao Min, you go and take out my treasure knife." ”
Of course he guessed wrong, because although Liu Fan has some city government, he is not lacking in kindness.
Waiting for Li Min to walk away, the old man Chen walked in front of Liu Fan, slowly raised his arms, and bowed deeply to Liu Fan, waiting for Liu Fan to react, hurriedly held up the old man's arms, and said in a continuous voice, "Uncle Chen, I can't help it, I can't help it, what's wrong with you, give me a hairy boy to do such a salute, you can't do it!" ”
I saw Old Man Chen staring straight into Liu Fan's eyes, and slowly said to Liu Fan: "Little Brigade Commander Liu, I am not saluting for you, but for my northwest camp, or it can be said that I am doing this salute for the chief manager, don't think that this is my old man is alarmist, you may not know, the chief manager is sixty and seven this year, and he has left many chronic diseases on his body after years of fighting, and he has been tortured by illness for a long time, and the confidence that makes him persist in fighting against stubborn diseases comes from his responsibility to Daqi and loyalty to the saints, and the other is his pair of children. Especially Xiao Min, who was only obtained when the chief manager was forty-nine years old, was a girl when she was old, and she was very precious since she was a child, if Xiao Min wanted the moon in the sky, if there was a way, the chief manager would never give the stars, she really said that she was the lifeblood of the chief manager. ”
"You also know that now in the east and west directions, General Gai Yanshou and our chief manager are supporting the country, at present, the northwest is not without the chief manager, and if Xiao Min has any mistakes, once the chief manager is unable to withstand the blow, the northwest camp will inevitably have turmoil, and the consequences are unpredictable."
Liu Fan didn't expect that the young lady of a big family was so important, if this person was lost, he would really be affected by the whole body, and just now he was a little dissatisfied with the task that the command temporarily arranged for him, and only then did he know that the importance of this task was not much better than holding Ganzhou City.
He immediately solemnly bowed to Old Man Chen and said, "Please rest assured, Uncle Chen, as long as I have my life, I will definitely not let General Li Min lose." However, Uncle Chen, even if Manager Li loves this daughter so much, why don't you want to leave him behind? ”
"Alas, don't mention it, although Xiao Min is usually obedient and sensible, and is understanding, but because the old lady went early, and the chief manager and his brother have been fighting abroad for a long time, she has been a little withdrawn since she was a child, and she is stubborn, not to mention us people, even the chief manager can't twist her, there is no way, we bad old men can only find a way to look at her."
I saw Li Min walking back with a seemingly ordinary long knife in his hand, and the two of them immediately stopped talking.
Li Min looked at the two of them suspiciously, and said, "Uncle Chen, what are you two talking about, I feel that you all have a strange expression on your face." ”
"What else can I say, I was talking about this knife, I said it was a rare treasure knife, but this kid didn't seem to believe it."
As he spoke, he took the knife from Li Min's hand, and slowly raised the knife with both hands, as if this was a precious porcelain worth ten thousand gold, and it would be shattered if he was not careful, and his eyes stared at the object in his hand in distraction, as if he was reluctant to give up on this thing, and seemed to remember a long past.
Li Min carefully reminded beside him: "Uncle Chen, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I thought of some old things just now, and I lost my mind a little, alas, it's useless when I'm old, and it's easy to be stunned when I think of the past."
As he spoke, he slowly handed the knife to Liu Fan, "Boy, don't underestimate this knife, my old man is ruthless in this world for no reason, although to put it bluntly, he is just a servant, but the chief manager has never regarded me as a human being, especially Shouyi and Xiaomin, I grew up watching them, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are my old man's closest relatives, I am content in this generation, this knife is the only little thought I had when I was young, and it is useless to keep it now, when she handed it over to me, she also hoped that I would fight bravely to kill the enemy, and now I am old, It's time to hand it over to someone else, I want to live up to her hopes, I'll hand it over to you today, I hope you can also use it to protect your family and defend the country, and by the way, take care of Xiao Min's safety, although Xiao Min has been practicing martial arts with his father and brother since he was a child, but to put it bluntly, he has never experienced any actual combat, and my old man is worried about this, as long as Xiao Min is safe, I have no regrets. ”
Li Min listened to Uncle Chen's words, sniffed lightly, turned his head and whispered to Liu Fan: "Hurry up and catch it!" ”
Liu Fan was also a little stunned by what Uncle Chen said at this time, but he didn't dare not accept it at this time.
Li Min's eyes were already slightly red when Uncle Chen said it, and he said with a little choking in his voice: "Uncle Chen, aren't I good, what are you worried about, besides, I am also the commander of a brigade, it is impossible to rush to the front like a soldier, you and your father are not too much of a problem, how long are the good days, don't feel good at every turn?" ”
After listening to Li Min's words, Uncle Chen said: "Yes, you are the brigade commander, you don't have to take the lead, just command in the middle, alas, I'm old and confused, but I still can't be careless, everything must be careful." ”
"Okay, okay, don't say it, let Brigadier Liu see your baby, you won't leave such a good thing to me.
"This thing is not for you, and besides, you don't have five, but three, and this thing will definitely be shelved in your place. Boy, pull out the knife and take a look, don't let the pearl be dusted. ”
Liu Fan can't refuse other people's gifts now, I feel that this knife is slightly longer and wider than other knives, but it seems to be much heavier than ordinary knives, and slowly pulled out the blade, only to see that the blade is dark, faintly revealing a cold light, this is not a straight knife, forming an arc from the tip of the knife to the blocking hand, but the arc is much smaller than the arc of the scimitar used by the Khitans, and the blade body is a circle of irregular water lines, which is caused by many times of forging during casting.
Suddenly remembered the Xuantie heavy sword written by Old Man Jin, and looked up at Uncle Chen and said uncertainly: "This is a Xuantie heavy sword?" ”
I saw Uncle Chen stunned, and said: "I didn't think that your kid is really good, this is a Xuantie treasure knife, not called Xuantie heavy knife, it was forged by a warrior in the previous dynasty from the extraterrestrial stone obtained from Kunlun Divine Mountain for a hundred days, the blade is heavy, and the iron is sharpened like mud." I see that your boy is burly and strong, this knife is just right for you, and the knife also pins all my hopes as a soldier, you kid fight hard, don't bury my treasure knife. ”
Liu Fan solemnly tied the treasure knife, and thought in his heart: "It's another meteorite, and there is a meteorite hidden in my belongings, it seems that I'm related to meteorites no matter where I am." ”
He raised his hands and bowed down to salute Uncle Chen, and said in a deep voice: "The kid will definitely live up to the high expectations of the old man." ”
