Chapter 42 Gifts of swords and bows
Xia Xue called the eldest grandson Wuji to the side and whispered: "Brother Wuji, I went to Jiangnan this time for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, he will have a major disaster in the future, and this disaster will happen after the Tang Army basically quells the war in the north." She whispered in the ear of the eldest grandson Wuji: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin's calamity comes from within, and the murderers are the crown prince and the king of Qi. But don't tell King Qin at the moment, he attaches more importance to brotherhood, and he is a little kind-hearted in brotherly relations, you just say, he won't believe it. Therefore, you can only protect and protect secretly, and try not to let His Royal Highness King Qin go to the Prince's Mansion and King Qi's Mansion to drink in the future, and be careful of being poisoned. "Xia Xue remembered that it was said in the history books that after Li Shimin drank in the prince's mansion, he came back and vomited blood and almost died." Also, after entering Chang'an, near the Xuanwu Gate of the Shang Dynasty in the future, it is best to arrange some ambushes to protect His Royal Highness the King of Qin. It is necessary to secretly retain some of his own private armed forces, and when the crown prince and the king of Qi make a move against the king of Qin in the future, they will first deprive the king of Qin of his military power through the emperor Li Yuan, and then they will start to murder the king of Qin. If you find out that they have deprived His Royal Highness of the King of Qin of his military power, you must be careful to protect his personal safety. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked when he heard this, but he had absolute trust in Xia Xue, and hurriedly secretly remembered it in his heart.
"Brother Wuji, when I went back to my grandmother, mother, aunt, and cousin to ask about me, I said that I was separated when I was fighting with the Sui army in Tongguan; When I asked about the Ouyang brothers and sisters, I said that I had arranged for them to look for me. But please rest assured, just say that I, the little fairy, will definitely come back safely. Please take care of their health! In the future, my grandmother, mother, and aunt will ask Brother Wuji to do my filial piety on my behalf and take care of them! ”
"When will Xuemei come back from Jiangnan?"
"I'll be back when the world is settled."
Xia Xue walked over and looked at Li Shimin silently with a reluctant face, "Your Royal Highness King Qin, you then need to form a 5,000-strong Xuanjia elite cavalry as soon as possible as soon as possible as your special forces." I will ask Brother Wuji to help you make a batch of Tang knives and Mingguang armor to equip this cavalry, Tang knives are sharper and more flexible, the blades are longer, and Mingguang armor is lighter in weight and has higher defense. This Xuanjia soldier must be carefully selected, strictly trained, proficient in riding and archery, fast as the wind, as fierce as fire, with one enemy and hundred, invincible, it will definitely help His Highness pacify the world as soon as possible. After Xia Xue finished speaking, she handed over a piece of paper full of production processes, recipes, and precautions to the eldest grandson Wuji, "What is written on this paper is the core technology, pay attention to protect it, and don't leak it." Many of the important things I wrote above are in line, even if others pick them up, they can't understand it, so Brother Wuji should pay attention to it and write it down. Xia Xue told the eldest grandson Wuji all the meanings that matched.
"Make a note of it."
Eldest Sun Wuji nodded, and memorized it a few more times in his heart.
Li Shimin looked at Xia Xue gratefully, this magical beautiful girl always has so many incredible talents, and with her help, she will definitely be able to realize her long-cherished wish to calm the world as soon as possible. I was so lucky to get to know the eldest grandson.
"Your Highness, after you go back, you have not been able to hurry up and prepare for the Xuanjia cavalry, if you encounter Wang Shichong, who is the emperor of Luoyang in the Central Plains, will send troops to attack, you will automatically ask Ying to meet the enemy. Wang Shichong's vanguard is called: Qin Qiong, the word Shubao, he is actually here to secretly defect to the Tang army, you will get this general if you take the initiative to meet the enemy, he can help you then defeat Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang's army when the Sanjin and Liu Wuzhou are fighting, and defeat another brave and good general: Wei Chi Gong, the word Jingde, you have to sincerely accept Wei Chi Jingde, he is brave and fierce, will help you calm the world, and he will save your life many times in the future. Be sure to keep him sincerely. In addition, Brother Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui are all your most important and loyal internal staff officers, who will help you plan and strategize. ”
"Eldest grandson girl......" Li Shimin burst into tears, and Xia Xue's soft words were like a mother to a child who was about to leave, patiently and meticulously.
He took out his treasure bow from his quiver and handed it to Xia Xue, his voice was a little hoarse: "Eldest grandson girl, this treasure bow has always been with me, I want to give it to eldest grandson girl as a souvenir." ”
Xia Xue took the bow and looked at it carefully, it was indeed very precious, the bow horn was made of a pair of rhinoceros horns, the bow body was carved with patterns, and the top was inlaid with jewels. The dry wood of the bow is made of oak wood. The dry wood for making the strong bow is the upper wood, the second is the wood, the oak tree, etc., and the bamboo is the bottom. The material of Zhemu is extremely solid, and it will not be easily broken even if it is pushed and pulled, and the arrow has a long range and great lethality. The southern bow is obviously different from the northern bow in terms of material, the south mostly uses bamboo as the dry, while the north is mainly based on this kind of hard wood. This is also one of the reasons why the northern army can always take the lead in the ancient wars of China. His horn bow is made of oak trees, and it is indeed not as good as this bow.
Xia Xue took a closer look and found that there were two small characters engraved on the bow: Erlang.
"Erlang!" Xia Xue read softly.
"Erlang is my nickname, and the eldest grandson girl will call me Erlang in the future."
"Okay, then Your Highness will call me Xue'er from now on." Xia Xue blushed, "Erlang! She called Li Shimin's nickname softly.
"Cher!" The two of them looked at each other affectionately and smiled, and the distance between their hearts was much closer.
Xia Xue untied her Tang knife and handed it to Li Shimin with both hands, "Erlang, this knife is the first Tang knife I made, and it is my most beloved weapon." I gave it to Jiro as a souvenir. ”
Li Shimin solemnly took it with both hands, pulled out the cold and shining Tang knife, and couldn't help but admire: "Good knife!" ”
He looked closely and found that the end of the handle of the knife was engraved with a small word "snow", and happily inserted the knife. In the scabbard, it is cherished and hung on the waist.
Li Shimin was about to untie his sword and give it to Xia Xue for self-defense, when the eldest grandson Wuji came over and said, "Your Highness, you can keep your sword." Xue Mei likes to use Tang knives, and the power of Tang knives is much stronger than swords, so let's give her my Tang knife. ”
Saying that, the eldest grandson Wuji untied his Tang knife and sent it to Xia Xue, "Sister Xue, your knife was given to His Royal Highness King Qin, there are many dangers on the way south, you can't do without a good weapon." I'll give this Tang knife to Xue Mei, anyway, you taught me all the secrets of making Tang knives, and I'll just forge another one for myself later. ”
Xia Xue thought about it and didn't object, so she took the Tang knife of the eldest grandson Wuji and hung it on her waist, and put the treasure bow given by Li Shimin into the bow bag, and took off the original horn bow and gave it to the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Shimin also brought a lot of feather arrows, and Xia Xue took dozens of arrows and filled her empty quiver.
