After the first day of the first year of Zhengsheng, Empress Wu once again drove eastward and went to the Xin'an County Fireworks Army Camp to inspect the joint training of the Yushan Army and the Fireworks Army. = pine∥ ∥ small = said

Quan Ce and Xue Chongyin, the general of the Fireworks Army, and Wu Bingde, the deputy general of the Yushan Army, accompanied them, and the leaders were still the two of the generals of the Right Yu Linwei, Li Kaigu and Luo Wucheng, and this time they also brought Guiyi Hou Hebule and Guozijian Da Zuorong.

Wu Youning, the general of the Yushan Army, did not go along, something strange happened in his house, and he was in charge of business, and he was infected with strange diseases one after another, once he left his post and no longer served, he would recover, if he returned to his post to perform his duties, he would immediately be infected again, and if he was repeated, he was scared to stay away, and he did not dare to get involved in the industry of Wu Youning's house, which led to a significant decline in the income of Wu Youning, and Wu Youning's own condition was also very bad, I don't know what evil he encountered, he often had nightmares, it was difficult to sleep, and he occasionally had a splitting headache during the day, and his spirit was sluggish, and he didn't work hard for a few days, the whole person is so thin that he is out of shape, and the imperial doctor in the palace tosses it all over again, asking for medical advice every day, and using supplements as food, but there is no improvement.

Although the main general is not in place, but the drill of the Yushan army, is calm and solid, without a trace of mistakes, the Empress Wu specially inspected the target target, is still the rammed earth city wall, the large heavy artillery is targeted, there are two zhang square, the small artillery is only one zhang square, did not wait for the six rounds of fierce bombardment, but after the third round, all the targets have been fragmented, after the six rounds of bombardment, the rammed earth wall hot smoke curling, has been razed to the ground.

Last time in Yushan, Li Kaigu and Luo Wuquan had already seen it once, and they were still able to stabilize their minds, but the first time they experienced this kind of battle, Hebul and Da Zuorong, were not, covering their ears with their hands for a while, rubbing in front of their eyes for a while, looking up at the sky together, wandering around under their feet, like a wandering spirit, as if they couldn't believe it.

No one comforted them, no one explained them, the reality is always cruel, but they only swallow it bit by bit.

After the expansion of the Fireworks Army, he showed his face in front of the Empress Wu for the first time, and he performed very hard, Xue Chongyin's strictness was visible in the details, falling to the ground and prostrating, throwing iron bumps, igniting the leads, placing gunpowder bags, from the stride length to the crawling speed, from the distance thrown by the iron pimples to the duration of the fuse burning, almost exactly the same.

"Chongyin, when you were recruiting soldiers, did anyone in the Xia Guanyamen go crazy?" Quan Ce took a closer look, and found that the three thousand soldiers of the Fireworks Army, in size, size, and even expression, were quite similar, which made him cry and laugh, Xue Chongyin followed him when he was young, but he didn't find it, and he even had some obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Xue Chongyin habitually wanted to reach out and scratch the back of his head, but he forgot that he had a hood on his head, put down his hand, and said with a sneer, "Big brother, don't laugh at me, since I was ordered to expand, I made a list of conditions, and asked Liu Shangshu to arrange it, but I didn't do it myself, Liu Shangshu ordered the Lang officials of the Xia Guanyamen to walk the six roads in the north, not limited to the government soldiers, and also searched among the soldiers and officials, and it took three months to gather the number of 3,000"

Quan Ce smiled and shook his head, seeing that his armor was spotless, he frowned, took off his robe, untied the Zhan Lu sword, and handed it to Da Zuorong, who was chattering with the gods, "Do you still practice with the soldiers?" ”

Xue Chongyin showed excitement, moved his hands together, and withdrew the heavy armor on his body, which was a short fight, "Big brother, but you want to compete with me?" ”

Quan Ce turned around and asked the Empress Wu for advice, "Your Majesty, the minister is itchy for a while, and I am willing to practice with Chongyin around the school field for a week, please allow Your Majesty"

"Oh? Hehe, it is said that you are also brave in the battle array, but I have never seen it, go quickly, and let me see" The martial queen was in a very good mood, and waved her hand to agree.

Quan Ce and Xue Chongyin started from the beginning of the school field, like two tigers down the mountain, rushed up, the equipment of the school field is not complicated, all make good use of the terrain, there are steep slopes dug up by the mountain, there are plum blossom piles set up in the stream, there are low valleys with hanging ropes, and there are low holes full of thistles, only one person can crawl through, a circle down, a straight line distance is five miles away.

Xue Chongyin is obviously practicing every day, his familiarity with the school field is far better than that of Quan Ce, and the speed has been steadily suppressing Quan Ce, but the difference between the two is not far away, each project is at the beginning of familiarity, Quan Ce is behind, and in the second half, the speed becomes rapidly improving, and Xue Chongyin is always in a hurry, and finally the two of them complete the drill almost at the same time.

"Big brother won" Xue Chongyin wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and said sullenly, in the short hole, because of the risk of injury, Quan Ce obviously reduced the speed of catching up, although he was young and competitive, he could tell right from wrong.

Quan Ce patted him on the shoulder and scolded softly, "Nonsense, if you take one step faster, you won, I have a lot of concerns and are not resolute in my actions, this is not your fault, but my shortcomings, you are not ashamed to win because of this"

Xue Chongyin listened, looked up at him, showed a bright smile, and jumped on the spot several times with joy.

Quan Ce smiled, took Xue Chongyin's shoulders and returned to the high platform, fortunately, it's just obsessive-compulsive disorder, if you get infected with cleanliness, in the army, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for a long time.

"Well, it's very good, it's all promising" Empress Wu looked happy and nodded with satisfaction, "Bingde, from now on, you will lead the army to break away from the fireworks army and return to Yushan, Quance, the errand of joint training, you have done a good job, you can put your hands aside for the time being, and plan your great cause of money...... These two armies are the sharp weapons of the Great Zhou, I am always thinking about you, as well as Wan'er and Yaohuan, you all have to take care of them more."

"Yes, Your Majesty," the three of them commanded together.

Ended the inspection of the camp in Xin'an County, Wuhou did not return directly to Shendu, but went south to Songshan in Dengfeng County, she did not go to the top of the mountain to seal the Zen platform, nor did she leave Mobao, but went to Zhongyue Taoist Temple, since she was in the dynasty to weigh the system, this is the first time she came to the Taoist Temple, the Taoist Huang Guan in the view, there are hundreds of people, are trembling.

After stopping in front of the Taoist temple for a long time, Empress Wu's expression changed, and finally she smiled, stepped on the bluestone masonry ladder at the door, and stepped over the high threshold.

Shangguan Wan'er was about to step forward, but she stopped her, "Yaohuan just follow, let me be quiet"

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Quan Ce, and said in a cold voice, "The quiet place of the Daomen is not suitable for fanfare, here I and General Li Kaigu are waiting, I heard that the Duke of Xin'an County has another courtyard in the mountains, and the rest of the people can be led to the other courtyard to settle down and listen to the will."

Quan Ce didn't know that this was an opportunity deliberately created by Shangguan Wan'er, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Xiaguan obeys orders"

Seeing that he hurriedly took Luo Wucheng, Hebule, Da Zuorong and others down the mountain, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but smile.

Lang Jun often has whimsical ideas, Xi people are good at making weapons, maybe they can help a lot in the manufacture of sea ships, as for Hebule and Da Zuorong, one is the chief of Murowei Tu, the other is the prince of the Yan Dynasty, with the two of them, plus Anton Dadu Protector Quan Long, to the northeast direction of business, it will be smooth.

Thinking of Lang Jun's appearance of shaking his lips and puffing out his tongue to coax people, Shangguan Wan'er's heart turned into water and softened.

In the Zhongyue Taoist Temple, the three Qing Dao Zun are on top, the Taoist elders are waiting on both sides, and the Empress Wu stands in front of the futon, with his hands on his back, looking at the three huge statues, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

Xie Yaohuan was behind her, bowing her head and standing silently, thinking about her heart, the Empress Wu ordered her to punish Wu Youning, she started on the business steward of Wu Youning's family, and tossed for a while, the fire was almost over, revealing some wind, the money and silk of the Jianchang Palace, must be used for Lang Jun's money and silk, with him taking the lead, if a donation trend can be formed among the kings of the Wu family, presumably Lang Jun's pressure will be much less.
