At this time, he was told that his mind was broken, and Cheng Yanjin was embarrassed to ask for it again. But this kind of divine soldier is in front of him, just like a beauty on the side, if he doesn't take it to take a look, his heart is really itchy. Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to look at Li Mu, Li Mu said: "Just show Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng has his own blade, can he rob you?" Besides, isn't there a chain clasped around it, it's fine! ”

Li Chongyi thought about it, and it was right, Cheng Biting Jin's strength was not as great as his, as long as the chains were fastened, he couldn't snatch it if he wanted to, jumped off the horse, and handed over the axe.

Cheng Yanjin glared at Li Mu fiercely, what do you mean that there are chains...... But after thinking about it, his character is indeed not so reliable, and it is impossible to see it when he meets someone like himself, so when he thinks about it, he feels a little more comfortable, and he also jumped off the horse and took the axe.

Cheng Yanjin took the axe with one hand, because Li Chongyi also handed it over with one hand, but as soon as Li Chongyi let go, he couldn't hold it, so he quickly handed the other hand up and held it, otherwise the axe would fall to the ground.

"Good fellow, it's so heavy!" Cheng Yanjin weighed it, at least eighty catties. This is the limit weight of a two-handed weapon, and the double-plate axes he uses himself, each of which is only thirty-six pounds, and there are few opponents on the battlefield. And Li Chongyi's one-handed axe turned out to be heavier than his two, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but look at Li Chongyi, how much strength does this kid have!

Cheng Biting Jin returned the axe to Li Chongyi and said, "How do you use this axe on weekdays?" ”

Li Chongyi looked at Li Mu, Li Mu nodded, and he replied honestly: "Chop it in close combat, hang it on the chain in the distance attack, and throw it out to smash." ”

"I see what you do with an axe with one hand, and with the other?"

Li Chongyi said seriously: "The boss said to let me use a shield, but there is no shield yet, and the boss will give me a shield when he is free." ”

"Boss?" Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Mu in shock and said, "This, this axe, was built by you?" ”

"yes."

"You can actually ......" Cheng Yanjin asked halfway and stopped, this is obviously nonsense. People have said it, and they still ask if they are not stupid?

Suddenly, Cheng bit Jin's eyes and had a bold idea. If you don't come, you might as well ask him for help, it's a big deal to give money! Anyway, now that there is a cash cow such as a horse farm, there is no shortage of money.

"Virtuous nephew, how much does it cost to build such an axe?"

"Hmm...... It's not expensive, maybe it's 5,000 or so. But now I can't fight, there's no meteorite. Uncle, this axe was made by me by putting together all the meteorite iron in the Ministry of Industry, and I originally wanted to fight a pair, but there were really no materials, so I could only barely get one. ”

“……”

Cheng Yanjin didn't ask any more, because he couldn't afford to build such an axe. He can take out 5,000 pounds, 80 catties of meteoric iron, where can he get it! But he didn't give up this idea, and planned to go back and think about it in the long run, and take advantage of the fact that others didn't know that Li Mu would build weapons, and get other people's meteorite first, so that the Cheng family could get a family heirloom!

The group left the Zhulu Hou Mansion and went to the racecourse, without saying anything all the way. Not long after they left, a carriage came from An Yifang.

At first glance, this carriage does not look much different from the carriage of ordinary wealthy families, but if you look closely, you will find that this car is made of black nanmu, which is the best in nanmu, does not give birth to insects and ants, and has its own fragrance. Ordinary people have to treasure a piece of wood, and the owner of this car actually used him to make a carriage, which shows the preciousness of the people in the car.

Next to the carriage, there were four guards, all of whom were masters of light and restraint.

"Your Highness, here it is. In front of it is the Zhulu Hou Mansion. ”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a round face, which was none other than Li Tai. Li Tai looked out, and the four flying white characters of the Zhulu Hou Mansion were the handwriting of his father, Li Shimin. The jade seal of the country at the bottom right is also unique, so it should be right.

"Bring the king down."

Li Tai spoke, one of the guards dismounted and held his arm, the other lay on the ground as a dismount stone, Li Tai stepped on the guard's broad back, and steadily got off the carriage. He had changed into a set of clothes, no longer the prince's clothes, but an ordinary student dress, and even a patch was put on the front in a prominent place.

The guard got up and said, "Your Highness, I'll wait for Your Highness to go in, if something happens......

"Zhulu Hou Mansion, what accidents can happen? This king has come to apprentice today, what are you beside you? Needless to say, leave one person to wait nearby, and the others take the carriage and find a secluded place to hide, so as not to be discovered. ”

The guards had no choice but to agree. The guard took a burden from the carriage and wanted to help Li Tai tie it to his body, but an embarrassing scene appeared, the burden cloth was actually small, and he compared it on Li Tai, but he couldn't tie it at all at all because he couldn't tie it at all. There was no way, Li Tai had no choice but to hold the burden in his arms and walk up the steps of the Zhulu Hou Mansion step by step.

Looking back at the guards after hiding, Li Tai raised his hand and knocked on the knocker twice.

The porter Zhao Youcai opened the door and saw a little fat man standing at the door, holding a silk bag in his arms and a linen patch on his brocade clothes, and suddenly felt a little confused.

"I don't know...... This little young master, when he came to Zhuluhou Mansion, what happened? ”

Li Tai squeezed his little eyes hard, sobbed, and said the excuse he had thought of along the way: "This uncle, you admit your mistake, this king...... Where am I, what young master! I'm just an ordinary poor student, and I'm going to take the imperial examination next year. Alas, my family was poor, and my father sold the land and managed to make up for my tuition. However, my qualifications are dull, and although I am diligent in studying, I have never been able to grasp the essentials. Today, I saw Hou Ye's four algorithms in Datang Daily, and I was shocked. The more the arithmetic is calculated, the more subtle it is, and I want to worship the Hou Ye as a teacher and learn the method of arithmetic, if it can be taught, when the imperial examination in the coming year comes, I will be able to pass the Ming arithmetic department, and it will not be in vain for my father to become a seller for me to study......"

The more Li Tai spoke, the more sad he became, and he really believed the story he had made, and tears fell down his face. Zhao Youcai used to be a scholar, and when he heard Li Tai say these words, he remembered the hardships he had suffered from studying back then, and felt pity in his heart. Although I thought he was dressed a little strangely, I saw that he was only eleven or twelve years old at most, and there was no one around him, so I believed him. A child who comes to apprentice can make a big mess.

Hou Ye is willing to accept it, he is unwilling to accept it, and Hou Ye comes to send it, he is a porter, nothing else can help, and the favor is still done, thinking of this, Zhao Youcai said to Li Tai: "Uncle, I, am just a gatekeeper of the Hou Mansion." I can't help you, Hou Ye is not in the house now, if you are willing to wait, just come in and wait for a while, Hou Ye will be back at noon, and you will apprentice again. Accepting apprentices is a big deal, whether the Hou Ye accepts you or not, it depends on your creation, if it is confiscated, you should not be discouraged, you must not give up your studies......"

With that, the porter got out of the way and let Li Tai in. Li Tai wiped away his tears, thanked him gratefully, and followed the porter to the house where he usually lived, waiting for Li Mu to return.

Li Mu and his entourage came to the racecourse, and before they got close, they heard the voices of people in front of them, and the cheers were endless. When I got closer, it turned out that there was someone performing equestrianism in the horse farm, and I saw a knight holding the saddle of the horse, tossing back and forth, or hiding in the belly of the horse, or standing on the back of the horse, as if performing acrobatics. The crowd of people sitting scattered in the racecourse was excited and applauded.

Cheng Yanjin said: "This is according to your nephew's instructions, let these knights perform equestrian skills one after another every day." At first, few people watched it, but in recent days, it has gradually increased. There are still few people at this time, and after a while, when Tian Jia Saburo appears, there will be more people. ”

"Tian Jia Saburo?"

Cheng Yanjin nodded and said, "The Tian family is a tenant of my Cheng family, and his three sons are all my personal soldiers. Saburo is a skilled horseman, superior to the Turks. At present, it seems that he is the most powerful equestrian of all knights. Speaking of this, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but ask: "Virtuous nephew, I really don't understand, what's the use of you letting you arrange these." If you want to gather popularity, wouldn't it be enough to put a few more advertisements in Datang Daily? ”

"Uncle, have you heard it, hearing is false, seeing is believing?"

Cheng Yanjin glared and said, "Naturally, I've heard it!" You kid, don't take my old Cheng as an illiterate reckless man! ”

Li Mudao: "Take this Tian Jia Saburo as an example, his equestrian skills are exquisite, and the same horse, controlled by him, achieves better results than ordinary knights." If he comes on the pitch in the next game, how will people bet on it? ”

Cheng Yanjin thought for a while and said, "If it were me, I would naturally bet on the horses he drove." ”

"That's it, that's what I want. When people see his horsemanship, they believe that he can make horses run faster. If I just said in the Datang Daily that Tian Jia Saburo is superb in equestrianism, how many people would believe it? ”

Cheng Yanjin thought so, nodded, and said: "You still have a point, okay, I won't ask, anyway, I have already arranged everything you want me to arrange." ”

The two walked forward, and Cheng Qian ran over: "I've seen Grandpa, I've seen Houye." The plaque given by the emperor has been hung up, and I ask the grandfather and the marquis to see if there is anything wrong. ”

Li Mu looked up and saw the three big characters 'Happy Valley' hanging at the entrance of the racecourse. This time, it's not 'flying white body', but cursive. The three words are waved and magnificent, especially the 'horse' in the middle, which is really like a galloping horse, jumping on the paper.

"Happy Valley, it's good." Li Mu nodded and expressed his approval. In fact, it doesn't matter what Li Shimin writes to Li Mu, as long as he writes it. However, Cheng Yanjin was a little dissatisfied, and according to his ideas, it was only when he wrote 'Cheng's Racecourse' that he fulfilled his wishes.
