Chapter 14 A Little Try

If you don't fly, it's just a sky; If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster. ------ end of the Warring States period. Han Fei "Han Feizi. Yu Lao》

On the way, Huang An has already introduced that the current Lingling Taishou is Liu Du. Everyone bowed down, and seeing that it was over, Long Chen looked up and looked at the Lord of Lingling. I saw that the person who came came was in a brocade robe and a silver belt, wearing a black sand on his head, not tall, and his posture was calm, but he was just a hawk-nosed harrier, his eyes were gloomy, and his face was pale, obviously excessive wine. There is a person behind him, who is as tall as Huang Gai, dressed in leather armor, with a scimitar on his waist, his face like a silver basin, a thick neck, and standing majestically, who should be the leader of Liu Du's guards. Huang Gai said softly beside Long Chen, "That's Liu Du's guard captain, General Xing Daorong." Chen Long nodded slightly, there was indeed such a number in the Three Kingdoms, but it was later killed by Zhao Yun.

Liu Du sat down on the Taishou chair and asked Liu Xian, "There is something important today." Liu Xian Balabala said a word of official business, and finally pointed to Chen Long and said: "Huang Zhi recommended this Chen Wenlong, a native of Changsha, with strong martial arts, and his father can appoint him at his discretion." With that, he waved his hand to let Long Chen come over.

Unexpectedly, Liu Du didn't even sweep the tail of his eyes at Long Chen, and said directly: "For such a trivial matter, Xian'er can be the master, since Huang is recommended, he can serve as a government official with Huang Gongfu." "Don't wait for everyone to speak, wave everyone down, leaving only Gongzi Liu Xian.

Huang An was a little embarrassed to take Chen Long out of the county government, Huang Gai was afraid that Chen Long would be unhappy, so he comforted him in the back: "Liu Taishou has a lot of things to do today, and I don't know Wenlong, I will talk to Taishou slowly in the future, and there will definitely be a better position." Chen Long asked about Xing Daorong with a smile, and Huang Gai said: "General Xing is skilled in martial arts, good at using giant axes, and has the courage of ten thousand people. Long Chen smiled: "How is General Xing's martial arts better than Gongfu?" Huang Gai said: "My brother is never as good as him." After saying that, he smiled, Chen Long smiled: "You are modest." "Thinking back to this Lingling Taishou Liu Du, his temperament is narrow, he is really not the master of Ming, he started from here, but he doesn't have to be loyal to this person. At this time, Huang An went to work, and Huang Gai led him to Lingling City, only to see that Lingling Market was also prosperous, one of the main streets, connecting two city gates, street shops and restaurants, and the crowd was bustling. The shop saw a jingling sound coming from a shop, and a cloth sign was hung obliquely, with the four big characters "Shengjia Iron Shop" written on it.

The interior of the iron shop is simply furnished, and two shirtless strong men are taking turns raising the hammer and striking a sword that has been formed. An old man, seeing the two of them coming in, knew Huang Gai of the mansion, and hurriedly got up and said, "Huang Tou'er, what kind of wind is blowing you here today." Then he invited the two of them to sit down, and let one of the strong men pour the tea. Huang Gai introduced Chen Long to the old man, and Chen Long looked at the iron tools, which were also neatly made, so he asked, "I want to build something called stirrups." So saying, he took a piece of black charcoal and drew a life-size stirrup on the white wall, with a horizontal bar under the semi-circular angle iron, and a small circle tied to the rope at the upper end of the angle iron. The old man looked at it for a long time, but he had heard of the technology of casting copper, so he quickly understood what Long Chen meant, and agreed to it. When Huang Gai saw this thing for the first time, he asked in more detail than the old man of the Sheng family. Chen Long smiled and pulled Huang Gai out of the iron shop, and said: "This thing is infinitely useful, when the iron shop is finished, I will give you two pairs, and you will know the benefits." The two of them were tired of shopping, so they went to a teahouse to sit idly, and Chen Longtan asked: "Gongfu, what are the amazing characters in Lingling?" The foolish brother should be prepared, so as not to surprise the nobles. ”

Huang Gai is very familiar with this Lingling character, and said as follows: "Taishou Liu Du has sons Liu Xian, Liu Ba, and Zhou Budo, and Wu has four King Kongs, namely Xing Daorong, Liu Yong, Liu Xian, and Liu Min. Among them, Liu Ba is a world-famous sage, his father Liu Xiang was the Taishou of Jiangxia, and the Liu family has a distinguished position in Lingling. Zhou Budo is known as a prodigy, smart and sensitive since he was a child, and his poetry and writing are good, especially in poetry. Among the four King Kongs, Xing Daorong is the captain of the guard, taking into account the security in the city, and the three Liu are the generals with the troops of the lineage, garrisoning outside the city respectively, guarding several city gates, and guarding the security of the Lingling County system. There are also the Deng family and the Jiang family, all of whom are celebrities in Lingling. Chen Long quickly searched for information in the light brain and nodded slightly. Listening to the Jiang family, Lingling Jiang Wan and Jiang Gongyan appeared in his brain, Chen Long was overjoyed, and of course he had to strike first for this great sage of the time and the later prime minister of Shu.

Huang Gaizheng's mouth was dry, and suddenly he saw a disturbance of the crowd on the street, and several big men in uniform came along the street with horizontal eyebrows, pushed away the people who had no time to dodge, and walked into the door of the teahouse. The owner of the teahouse hurriedly greeted him, and the man who was the leader grabbed the boss by the collar, and said with raised eyebrows: "Boss Zhou, when will you pay the debt?" You don't want to open this teahouse, do you? The brothers are in a hurry. The boss didn't dare to fight back, and said while making a fuss: "My business here is not good these days, and I can't make it up for a while, so I ask Boss Yang for a few days... The big man's fierce eyes swept away the guests in the teahouse, and the guests left immediately. Only Huang Gai did not move, and Chen Long saw that Huang Gai did not move, so naturally he did not move. Seeing that Huang Gai knew him, Dahan hurriedly bowed politely: "Huang Tou'er, we are here to ask for gambling debts, and I dare not harass you." As he spoke, he grabbed Boss Zhou outside like a chicken and interrogated him.

Chen Long looked at this ancient underworld dumbfounded, thinking that these underworlds are almost the same in ancient and modern times. Huang Gai saw that Chen Long was curious, and said with a smile: "These people are the largest Xiaoxiang gang in Lingling, they control the shipping of Xiaoshui and Xiangshui, and they do serious business on weekdays, but they are indispensable to open brothels and casinos to attract some rotten people in the rivers and lakes. Chen Long asked, "Who is the boss of the Xiaoxiang Gang?" Huang Gai said in a low voice: "The surname is Yang Minghuai, known as Xiaoxiang Yiba, and martial arts are still in the past." But I heard that his backstage is above... He raised his finger and pointed to it. Chen Long understood, and the light brain showed that Yang Huai later became a general of the Shu Kingdom, but he didn't expect him to be from the Lingling underworld.

The two got up and walked out of the teahouse, and saw that the boss was entangled with the Xiaoxiang gang, so they ignored it, and followed Huang Gai slowly towards the east city gate. Kankan walked near the city gate, only to see a group of soldiers, driving the crowd in and out of the city, the city gate closed with a bang, and heard the drawbridge outside the city hanging up with a loud sound. Huang Gai gritted his teeth and muttered, "This yellow scarf is harassing again, let's go, go to the city and have a look." As several groups of soldiers walked up to the city tower, I saw that the entrance of the city was already full of soldiers, all with bows and arrows, and in the middle stood a general, draped all over, staring at the enemy. As he looked into the distance outside the city, he saw smoke billowing from several villages in the distance, apparently robbed.

Huang Gai led Chen Long to the general's side, and said uprightly: "Huang Gai meets General Liu Xian." The general turned around slightly, saw that it was Huang Gai, and smiled slightly: "The public cover came just right, but the yellow scarf came to harass again, and the public cover can fight the enemy together with me." Turning around and seeing that Chen Long didn't know him, Huang Gai hurriedly introduced: "This is my eldest brother Chen Long, whose name is Wenlong, has just taken up his post in the county government and is an official with me in the county government." Chen Long saw that the general was about thirty years old, with a clear face, thin eyebrows and one eye, and a silver helmet and plain robe, and he was really energetic, and he arched his hand and said: "Chen Wenlong has seen General Liu Xian in Xia." The general also thanked him and said, "Wenlong, you can watch the enemy together." ”

The common people under the city have all run into the city, and several people who have not had time to enter the city have also fled, and the avenue is empty on both sides, only to see the dust flying in the distance, and a team of people and horses slowly swept over, and the team is not untidy, and they have come in chaos. When I got closer, I saw that everyone was wrapped in yellow scarves, weapons, guns and knives, and there were people with dung forks, who were the Yellow Turban rebels. Liu Xian's eyes narrowed, one hand raised high, and ordered everyone to wait for his order before releasing the arrow.

When Chen Long came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the first time he saw the Yellow Turban Army, and he knew that they were all poor and homeless and bandits, who had no food and clothing, and did not know life and death, so he mixed into the Yellow Turban Army and looted. I saw that the first general, also wrapped in a yellow scarf, wearing leather armor, holding a spear, riding an inferior horse, walked beyond the range of the bow and arrow, the big gun was raised, and the yellow turban people stopped. The general knew that the bow and arrow were powerful, so he didn't dare to get too close, and pointed to the city from a distance and shouted: "Liu Du! We are the Yellow Turban Divine Army, and all the states and counties have surrendered, why don't you surrender early? But if you don't come down, you will come and take your head in the day. All the yellow scarves shouted and cheered, laughing and laughing, and they all laughed at Liu Du for being incompetent and not daring to go out of the city to fight.

Liu Xian frowned, took his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow with all his strength, and the arrow flew out with a whizz, and it was already lacking in strength from the general, and poofed it in front of the horse. The Yellow Turban General laughed, provoking the Yellow Turban soldiers to laugh again. Liu Xian threw the bow angrily, but the yellow scarf was out of range, and he was helpless, he had few soldiers, and he still defended the city. Chen Long looked at Huang Gai and said to Liu Xian: "General Liu, I am willing to borrow a bow and arrow." Huang Gai was taken aback, you must know that Liu Xian is famous for his good shooting, I don't know what Chen Long's methods are, if he misses it when he first arrives, he will inevitably make others laugh in the future. Liu Xian looked at Long Chen, and saw that he was calm and relaxed, but he didn't dare to despise him too much, and handed him his bow and arrows casually. Chen Longchun wanted to stand up, luck and internal force, and with a pull of both hands, the bowstring snapped and broke. Liu Xian was shocked, there were few people in the army who could control his five-stone strong bow, but he didn't expect this Chen Long to stretch it off when he stretched out his hand, and he couldn't help but be arrogant, and shouted: "Go to my mansion and take the ten-stone strong bow from my family!" When a general heard this, he hurried down to the city. Xu Yu ran back, with an extra strong bow in his hand.

Chen Long saw that the strong bow, the bow body was smooth, faintly covered with ancient patterns, and an iron string was slightly thicker, tightly attached to the bow handle. Chen Long said: "Good bow!" As the muscles of the shoulders relaxed slightly, Long Chen took a deep breath, gently pressed the breath, the abdominal muscles tensed instantly, and he exhaled his breath steadily, and then held his breath, and the archer gently stretched out to the back until it was fully extended. Flying over the vast open field in front of the moat at incredible speed, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.
