The commanders of the states successively went south to Jiangning Province. At the pier outside Tokyo, a large number of armor, firearms, and crossbows are being loaded onto ships; It is said that there is also a workshop in Songzhou that specializes in making crossbows. Boats on the Bianshui River come and go.

At this time, several people on the dock were arguing, and the generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies thought that the armor was unqualified when they received the armor, and they went to the officials of the armor workshop to theorize there.

In front of the officials, the military general thrust a sword into a pair of breastplate armor. Hearing the sound of metal rubbing against the tooth, the plate armor was actually pierced by a sword, and the military general said angrily: "Look, this can also be handed over?" ”

The official said in a deep voice: "The general doesn't know, this batch of armor is like this......"

The military general said coldly: "Want to confuse us? Xinjia Laozi hasn't worn it, when has it been so brittle? ”

"Are you a general of the Forbidden Army?" The official asked.

The military general said: "I have worked in the forbidden army." ”

The official said: "No wonder, don't worry, general, listen to me."

Of course, the armor we delivered to the forbidden army in the past was not in such a situation, but it was ...... In the early stage of armor making or using high-quality iron materials, cold forging will not break, and after thinning under the hammer, it will become harder and tougher; If the iron material is not good (the Central Plains iron ore contains more sulfur impurities), it will be annealed by hot forging, then it will have to be an experienced master, even the master can not be successful every time. It may be too soft, or it may be ...... Well, the condition of that pair of nails, the outer layer is torn.

Nowadays, there are more and more forging armors, and many armors that do not meet the hardness originally need to be re-burned and forged; However, the ordnance supervisor asked us to make armor for the forbidden army and the township army at the same time, and we couldn't cope with it. The order was issued from above, and the armor that did not fit the hardness was also sent out and handed over to the township army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies for use. ”

The military general scolded when he heard this.

The official said: "It's originally a village brave, it's good to have armor, how can you use everything well?" The imperial court can't afford it, and our armor workshop can't be busy. ”

The military general said indignantly: "Don't fool me, second class A, it's in the dock warehouse, don't get on the ship!" I'm going to ask the boss to see if what you say is true. ”

The official spoke for a long time, and at this time he was not very impatient, and hummed: "Listen to it!" ”

…… The soldiers under the command of Kaifeng gathered in the camp outside Tokyo one after another, and two days later they set out to the south.

Yu Liang stayed in the camp for a long time, but he wanted to see the red warbler and say goodbye. I don't know what he had in mind, maybe he wanted the red warbler to see that he had now found a way out.

He entered the city dressed in a military uniform and carrying a saber at his waist. The pedestrians on the road looked sideways, not to mention Yu Liang's head, he was already handsome, and his appearance was still very good, just looking better than the soldiers of the forbidden army, of course, it really talked about combat effectiveness, and he basically didn't know anything about marching and fighting now.

Yu Liang walked with his head held high, and for a while he felt like he was lofty. He is also in a good mood, now that he has his own errand, he no longer has the depression of relying on the red warbler to live.

Sure enough, when I saw her in Hongying's mansion, Hongying looked up and down when she saw her, and said with a smile: "Yo, my appearance is good, and I am more energetic than before." ”

This can still laugh! Yu Liang quietly hugged his fists and said, "Today I am here to say goodbye to the Red Lady Ying." ”

The Red Warbler asked him about it with concern.

Humanity is to stretch out his hand and not hit the smiling person, originally Yu was still a little angry in his conscience, but he didn't expect to be angry with the red warbler in a few words.

Yu Liang sighed, with some sighs in his heart. Some resentment, in fact, can only be done for a while; If it is not the deep hatred of the murderous parents, who can remember it for so long? Even if you feel very angry at the beginning, after all, it is only a small thing, and you will soon forget it.

Hongying asked again: "When will Yu Lang come back?" ”

Yu Liang replied: "I don't know yet, the boss only said that he would go to the Jiangnan camp to train his troops, and then he would go south." It seems that it will not be possible to come back in a year and a half. ”

After hearing this, Hongying's face showed sadness, and she said faintly: "This farewell, I don't know when we will be able to meet......

Yu Liang was also affected by this emotion, and there are several hurtful things in this world, and parting is probably the most common.

Hongying said gently: "If you are asked to go into battle, you must pay attention to your safety, if your life is gone, what is the use of fame?" ”

"Alas!" When Yu Liang heard her beautiful voice, his heart was warm and sour, and he let out a long sigh. He whispered, "I will remember the instructions of the Red Lady Girl...... If you're in Tokyo, take care of yourself. ”

The two looked at each other, and before they knew it, they were getting closer again.

The red warbler whispered again: "Do you still complain about me?" ”

Yu Liang shook his head: "The Red Ying Lady treats me well......

Hongying glared at him and said coquettishly, "It's good that you know!" ”

At this moment, a slave came to the door and said, "Lady, General Yang has arrived in the front yard and wants to see the lady!" ”

"Yang Ye? Didn't he go back to Hedong? The red warbler immediately asked.

The slave said: "It's General Yang Ye, he said that he just arrived in Tokyo." ”

Hongying hurriedly moved over, brushed her hair in front of the bronze mirror, and said, "You go and spread the word, call someone for good tea and greet him, and I will go to see him immediately." ”

"Whoa." The slave and the maid bowed.

Yu Liang stood next to him and suddenly let out a wry smile. Hongying turned her head to look at him at this time: "I'm really sorry for Yu Lang, General Yang came all the way to Tokyo, and the concubine was out of company." ”

Yu Liang shook his head and laughed again, speechless. He was a figure in his hometown, and he was really not a person who was looked down upon here, and still today.

Hongying glanced at him coldly, the two were speechless, and she called the maid outside.

Yu Liang called, Hongying looked back at him, and he didn't hear him for a long time, so he urged: "What did Yu Lang say?" ”

Yu Liang sighed and said, "The lady is hot and cold, which is really difficult to use. ”

Hongying thought for a moment and said, "I know what you came here with in mind today. Yu Lang is not that treacherous words, I will tell you the truth, I don't look down on you. ”

Yu Liang frowned: "Oh? ”

Hongying whispered: "Even if you can't become famous, if I follow you wholeheartedly, will it end well?" ”

Yu Liang was speechless.

Hongying laughed: "Everyone in the world thinks about themselves, who is more affectionate than whom?" ”

…… Hongying was warm and gentle to Yang Ye, and Yang Ye was also very happy, and joked in a deep voice: "One day husband and wife Bairien, we got along day and night, and when I arrived at Hongying, it was like returning home." ”

Hongying gently grabbed his arm and said coquettishly: "General Yang is praising others, does it feel like a guest or host?" ”

"Haha!" Yang Ye laughed.

The two chatted for a while, and although Yang Ye had a smile on his face, he had a faint concern.

Hongying asked empathetically, "What is there to worry about General Yang?" ”

Yang Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Did Hongying hear anything from Mrs. Shen?" in the court. ”

Yang Ye was summoned to Beijing to participate in the discussion of the northwest strategy, which was something that the emperor had said before. On the one hand, Yang Ye felt very lucky, after all, if he could participate in the major affairs of the imperial court, he could gradually gain a real foothold in the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty; On the one hand, there is a little bit of apprehension, because I know too little about the people and things in Tokyo.

Tomorrow we have a meeting. In fact, when it is actually put on the table, what is said is nothing more than an expression...... The real process of weighing and thinking, and some mutual consultation, is in private.

Yang Ye's problem is that he originally belonged to the people of the Northern Han Dynasty, and his connections in Tokyo were too shallow. The power field of the Great Zhou, the person who has the deepest friendship with him...... But it's the emperor Guo Shao!

At this time, Hongying suddenly covered her mouth and laughed "sneer": "General Yang also looks up to the concubine too much, even if it is Mrs. Shen, how can she know the inside story of the court?" I'm afraid that if you ask the prime minister about this, you will have a score!

I'm afraid General Yang has also heard about the things that the concubine knows, and they are just things that passers-by know. Isn't it that the imperial court is expanding its personnel and wants to use troops against the Southern Han Kingdom? As long as the people of the world are not blind, everyone knows that the soldiers and horses on the post road are going south, the military ships on the river, and the battle is so big. ”

Yang Ye was slightly disappointed when he heard this, and hugged his fists and said, "I just asked casually." I thought that since Mrs. Shen was familiar with Han Xizai, she might also know Prime Minister Li Gu......"

Hongying said: "According to what the concubine knows, Mrs. Shen doesn't know Li Gu. ”

She thought for a while and said, "The last time I saw Mrs. Shen, she said that it is not necessarily good to make too many friends in the officialdom. ”

"Oh?" Yang Ye looked at her.

Hongying said: "After all, we are just businessmen, Ansheng operates, just don't be bullied." If you get too close to the people in the officialdom and take a boat, the ship in the officialdom is not necessarily more reliable than the ship of trading. ”

Yang Ye was thoughtful, and said with a smile: "It is reasonable and interesting." ”

Hongying asked someone to prepare a table of wine and food, and talked and laughed with Yang Ye. When the wine was half-drunk, she also played the pipa and sang songs, which made Yang Ye very useful, and the troubles in the gentle township were lightened for a while.

Yang Ye didn't leave at night, so he stayed in Hongying Mansion, *** enjoyable, only sighed that the summer days and nights were short.

Early the next morning, it was not yet dawn. Yang Ye hurriedly got up and packed up and hurried to the court.

In summer, the sky dawns early, but when Yang Ye goes out, the sky is still bright, and there is a long string of lights on the royal street, which coincides with the day of the dynasty, and the scene is very spectacular. At the end of the lights, the towering Xuande Gate gate seemed to stand in the sky. The lights on the royal street are like bright stars in the sky.

In addition to many civil and military officials on the road, there are more slaves and attendants, and there is more than one retinue for an official, resulting in a very large number of people.

Yang Ye followed countless officials into the corner gate of Xuande Gate, and there was no need to search his body when he entered the imperial city, and when he arrived at the pedestal of Jinxiang Palace, there were eunuchs and two rows of guards standing there, searching them one by one.

Yang Ye is a person who has seen the world, and he is not nervous on this occasion, because there are so many people together, he doesn't have to speak, just go through the motions. When the dynasty is over, it is estimated that some important people will get together to get down to business.

So far, Yang Ye had to improvise, and first listen to the attitude of the imperial court towards the northwest, he made up his mind that he couldn't easily speak and stand.
