Chapter 172: The musket is missing

"Alright, that's it!"

Zhao Rui sprinkled a handful of cumin grains at the end, and then distributed the barbecue to everyone.

"Ahh It's delicious, it's delicious......" Xiong Er was busy eating.

Zhao Rui divided the second daughter again, and asked Lin Shizhao: "Where are your sister and your mother?" ”

"Oh, over there!" Lin Shizhao's eyes were still staring at the skewers.

Following the direction of his finger, Zhao Rui saw the mother and daughter of the Lin family sitting in the main seat, and gave all the remaining skewers to Lin Shizhao, asking him to take them over and eat them with Meng Yao and them.

"Huh? Without? Xiong Er wanted to ask for more, but Zhao Rui was already empty-handed.

"yes, I'll go sit down, and you can bake the rest! If you're gone, you'll let the kitchen give you some more skewers! ”

Zhao Rui patted Xiong Er's broad shoulder, smiled and went to sit down with Arjuna and Xiaoyi on the side of the main seat.

Although at first, Lin Mu was a little concerned that there were too many women around Zhao Rui, and she was worried that he would take advantage of this period to be unclear with these women, which would make Meng Yao sad.

But with the passage of time and daily contact, Mother Lin found that these women did not seduce Zhao Rui, and Zhao Rui was bent on the war, so she didn't often nag in Lin Mengyao's ear.

Lin Mengyao is also in a much better mood now, and the two of them have some intimate actions that time, and their hearts are already very steady.

Now that the wine and food are on the table, she faintly greets everyone with the posture of a hostess, and Mother Lin also shows a relieved smile.

Lin Mengyao is a rare beauty, this is recognized, Zhao Rui is from modern times, and he has seen many actresses, but he still feels that there is no one who is outstanding.

If you compare it with the people around you in ancient times, although Arjuna and Zhao Xiaoyi are both stunning in the world, but just comparing the exquisiteness of the facial features, Lin Mengyao is slightly better.

I'm afraid that only Xie Wanjun, who met in Lin'an, has a face comparable to Lin Mengyao.

The banquet officially began, and all kinds of dishes were served in turn, and Li Fulin, as the envoy of the Zhancheng State, was also fortunate to participate in the celebration banquet.

The cooking methods and tastes of the Song Dynasty all affected the people of Zhancheng, but they consciously learned seven or eight points of imagery, but after eating it, they still felt that it was not a little worse.

"Yo! What's the name of this red-colored meat...... What the? Dongpo meat? Evil...... Are you sure it's not human flesh? …… Good, delicious! ”

The delicacy of the Song Dynasty cuisine made Li Fulin forget the demeanor of a messenger, and he ate the most and played chopsticks the most diligently. Whatever, he came alone anyway, if he doesn't say it, who knows when he goes back! After comforting himself, Li Fulin completely let go and ate big.

Zhao Rui was not only not dissatisfied, but kept serving him vegetables.

"Eat more...... Let's do this again! ”

There is no way, the 20 million stone of grain that was negotiated just now was exchanged for some shabby weapons, which was equivalent to a transaction without capital, which made Zhao Rui feel very good. Li Fulin only felt that this prince was really interesting, not only helped him complete the emperor's task, but also invited himself to the banquet. In fact, the emperor just said that it was best to exchange weapons for it, and Li Fulin just wanted to exchange it for the greatest possible extent, who knew that there were really so many weapons!

Although he was in a brisk mood these days, Zhao Rui was not idle, because of the large influx of population and the huge amount of food that was about to come, Zhao Rui ordered Fang Hongbin to start conscription.

Because of the current population base and their trust in Ma Yue and themselves, Zhao Rui's preliminary estimate is likely to reach more than 40,000 people.

At the same time, Zhao Rui also implemented the musket rotation system in the soldiers, holding a shooting competition every quarter, and the winner can get the right to use the musket, this military order is not bad, in order to be able to use the musket, all the soldiers are trained more tenaciously and hard, and the most important thing is that the accuracy of shooting is also rising in a straight line!

Everything is developing in a good way, Zhao Rui sent the envoy of the Zhancheng State out of the city this morning, just pulling the carriage with weapons, Zhao Rui equipped him with more than ten cars.

Arjuna wore a restructured camouflage outfit, which made her look even more heroic. She brought the 1,000 people who came back with her before, and Zhao Rui felt that the number was small and uneasy, so he added another 1,000 people to her.

Because Anbang Prefecture is located in a remote area, Zhao Rui sent all soldiers with guns, plus the 1,500 people who are now left to defend the city, a full 3,500 people, so that the garrison of the city is much more stable.

Zhao Rui sent them outside the city, and just as they were about to set off, they suddenly saw a person galloping in the distance.

Direction to the southeast, isn't there an accident in Anbang State?

Sure enough, this cavalry ran closer, Zhao Rui saw his crooked appearance, and hurriedly drove forward, Arjuna followed!

Zhao Rui stopped the horse in front of him, and found that this warrior was tied to a horse!

Arjuna and Zhao Rui glanced at each other, both feeling incredulous.

This is clearly the warrior himself tied to his horse, in order not to fall asleep during the long run, obviously something happened to Ampang City!

"Hey! Wake up! Wake up! ”

The warrior was already in a semi-unconscious state, and Zhao Rui anxiously slapped his face.

The soldier seemed to be able to hear Zhao Rui's voice, and tried to open his eyes, but he was only half-squinted.

"Lord Wang, the Jiaozhi army attacked Anbang Prefecture, when I came out, there were already Jiaozhi people entering the city, I'm afraid, I'm afraid ......" Before he finished speaking, the soldier couldn't support it anymore and passed out.

"Come, send people to the city to recuperate, please the best Langzhong!"

Zhao Rui tore off the rope, lifted the soldier down, and handed it over to the soldier who came to pick him up.

Arjuna frowned and said hatefully: "I'll take someone to go first!" ”

"No way!"

Arjuna seemed to be telling, she didn't care whether Zhao Ruitong agreed or not, but fortunately, Zhao Rui reacted quickly and grabbed her reins.

"Arjuna, calm down, we can't act hastily!"

"Why not! The two of me can attack the city! I want to avenge the warriors! "It can be seen that Arjuna is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, and when her warriors are in danger, she is eager to put on her wings and fly over.

"There are 1,500 people in Ampang City, so there are 1,500 muskets, think about it, if the Jiaozhi people take these guns against us, then what will be the consequences!"

Arjuna was shocked, Zhao Rui was right, if such a thing happened, it would be a disastrous consequence for his own troops.

There are not only guns in Ampang State, but also spare ammunition, what if the Cochins use it to siege the city?

Or maybe they'll hand it over to the dead who will take the risk of assassination!

The more Arjuna thought about it, her face turned a little pale.

"Go as planned, except I'll go with you!" Zhao Rui looked angry, he couldn't accept others using guns against his own people.

"No, you can't go either!"

Arjuna subconsciously grabbed Zhao Rui's sleeve in a hurry, and only slowly let go after noticing the abnormality, deliberately avoiding Zhao Rui's sight.

"It's okay, I have another way ......"

Arjuna is just worried about Zhao Rui's safety, in fact, things have developed to this point, there is a possibility that the musket will be used by the Jiaozhi people, think about the sharpness of the musket, except for Zhao Rui, there is really no one to do it.

Zhao Gong, Ma Yue, and other generals were all worried about the same, but Zhao Ruili ignored the public opinion and let them stay in Dabao City for defense, and did not bring more soldiers with him.

Zhao Rui jumped into the carriage with a gloomy face, this attack by the Jiaozhi people was surprisingly effective, and he was able to break through the defense of 1,500 musketeers, which really made Zhao Rui feel that he had underestimated them before.

But the musket is his own, no matter which cochin people use it, it depends on whether their lives are hard enough!

"Drive!"

Zhao Rui shouted, shook the reins, and the carriage moved forward.

"Young Master, wait for me!" It was Zhao Xiaoyi's voice.

Zhao Rui just turned his head to take a look, just in time to see Xiao Yi running quickly with a small package on his back, there was a horse team between them, Xiao Yi did not pause, like a butterfly wearing flowers, he rushed directly to the front of the car, and fell to the door of the carriage with a slight jump.

Zhao Rui was stunned: "Xiaoyi, do you know martial arts?" ”

"Yes, we told the young master when we first met!"

Zhao Rui thought about Zhao Xiaoyi, she really said it, but she didn't take it seriously, and the troops had the help of muskets, and there was no place to use martial arts.

"Go down quickly, it's extremely dangerous, and you will have to worry about your life!" Zhao Rui said as he pulled the reins and stopped.

"No, young master, I heard Zhao Gong say that it is dangerous, but don't worry, I don't die so easily with peerless divine skills! And maybe I can protect you, young master! ”

Zhao Rui looked at Zhao Xiaoyi's beautiful and delicate face with an exotic style, which was white and almost transparent, coupled with her playful and cute appearance, it was difficult to say if she refused.

However, it was because of this that Zhao Rui was afraid that she would hurt her life, so he still said with a straight face: "No! ”

The words were cold, and there was no room for negotiation.

"Young master, you let me go, Xiao Yi has sworn that I will always take care of you, I didn't go to Guangyuan Prefecture with you because I was poisoned by arrows, but I am fine now, I can accompany the young master anywhere!"

Xiao Yi knelt in front of her, shook Zhao Rui's arm, and said coquettishly.

Endure!

I endure!

Zhao Rui didn't dare to look at Zhao Xiaoyi's face anymore, and almost agreed just now.

Seeing Zhao Rui's unmoved appearance, Zhao Xiaoyi felt sad, and directly moistened her eyes: "Young master, Xiaoyi has sworn to take care of you, if you don't take me there, I will not think about tea and dinner, I will be sad every day, and it is no different from death......"

"Young master, you can take Xiaoyi with you......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiaoyi's tears had already fallen on the back of Zhao Rui's hand.

"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you!"

Zhao Rui dragged her up and said: "But if there is danger, I will let you run, you must run fast without looking back, your speed should not be able to catch up with you." ”

Zhao Rui's heart really softened, Zhao Xiaoyi's heart was all on herself, but she still demanded herself.

"Yes!" Zhao Xiaoyi nodded heavily and said, "I know, young master!" ”

Her face turned cloudy and sunny, and she changed when she said it, but she was still crying, and now she showed a bright smile again.

Zhao Rui was stunned, all he felt was that this girl was pretending to cry, right?

But at this time, Zhao Xiaoyi had already jumped into the carriage, Zhao Rui shook his head helplessly, drove the carriage, and followed the team waiting slowly in front.
