Chapter Ninety-Six: Not Really
Seeing Chen Erxi's nervous appearance, Zhang Xian nodded and said:
"It's very simple, because you are a filial son, and this official also respects filial piety very much in this life. If the official's guess is correct, there must have been a major change in your family before you become a bandit. Because with your unique craftsmanship of Shu armor, even if it is only made into one, it has been regarded as a treasure by the emperors of previous dynasties, and it is even more unattainable for ordinary people. Therefore, with such a unique craft of making money, you will not be a bandit for money; In addition, the head of the king promised you freedom, and you blindly wanted to escape, which shows that you are not short of freedom; Finally, when you see the maids in your official's house, you will blush, which means that you have not yet married a wife and had children. Therefore, a person, if not for money, not for freedom, not for his wife and children, then he can only for his father and mother, just now you blurted out that your mother, it seems that your father should be gone, and you and your mother are left to depend on each other. The reason why you are struggling so hard is to find your mother, you say right, Chen Erxi!? ”
Chen Erxi was untied, and when he heard Zhang Xian's inference and analysis, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately knelt down for Zhang Xian, crying and saying:
"This, this, this can you deduce too? Zhang, Lord Zhang, you are a man of God, please save my mother, as long as you can save the villain's mother, the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse for the adult for the rest of his life, and the villain will never forget your great kindness and virtue for the rest of his life! The villain's Shu armor was also presented to the adults, woo woo woo ......."
"Chen Erxi, you get up, what grievances do you have, you tell the official, as long as he can help you, the official will definitely help you rescue your mother! Don't be in a hurry, go inside and drink hot water and then talk slowly. After Zhang Xian finished speaking, he pulled Chen Erxi to the living room and asked the maid to bring Chen Erxi a cup of hot tea, the maid looked at Chen Erxi's crying nose, and quietly pursed her lips and smiled, which made Chen Erxi blush even more, after the maid left, Chen Erxi continued:
"My lord, here's the thing, the villain Chen Erxi, the Chang'an people's family, the ancestral Shu armor craftsmanship in the family, in fact, the Shu armor is not the armor of the land of Bashu, but the meaning of taking the Shu Dao is difficult, that is, the Shu armor is extremely difficult to make, just like the Shu Dao. The key is that the materials for the production of Shu armor are scarce, and the Javanese rhinoceros leather can not get a few pieces in a lifetime, and the Uzi steel wire is not only scarce, but also to draw the extremely hard Uzi steel into a like, the difficulty is very great, and the fire is slightly wrong, and the entire Uzi steel will be scrapped. Therefore, a generation of our family can make more than a dozen pieces of Shu armor in a lifetime, and they will be taken away by the palace nobles at a high price. In my generation, after the small learned, I made two pieces of Shu armor, and my hometown was occupied by the Tartars. The Tartar wantonly slaughtered the Han people in Chang'an City, but there was no way, so the villain took his father and mother and went into exile in the Xiangyang area. Along the way, he was robbed by bandits, and his father protected the silver, but he was killed by the bandits, and the silver was also robbed. The villain and his mother went to Xiangyang City, we were penniless, hungry and cold, and there was no way, so we sold a piece of Shu armor on the road. But at that time, many people didn't know the goods, and they didn't even want to exchange a few steamed buns for the villain, woo woo woo ......"
"Erxi, speak slowly, drink saliva first." Zhang Xian saw Chen Erxi crying while talking, and comforted.
"Well, thank you, sir. Later, a general with several subordinates, passed in front of the villain, as a general, they saw at a glance that this was a treasure, but they framed me for stealing, and the villain had no choice, saying that he was the heir of Shu armor, in order to clear his grievances. As a result, the general took the villain and his mother to his camp, imprisoned the villain's mother, and asked the villain to make him a hundred pieces of Shu armor before releasing him. But the villain said that it really doesn't work, not to mention the complexity of this Shu armor process, the most important thing is that the materials are scarce, and without raw materials, it can't be made at all. The general asked him to wait for him to buy materials, and by the way, he took away one of the villain's Shu armor, and later heard that it was dedicated to Xiangyang City Marshal Lu Wende, and Marshal Lu Wende was dedicated to Jia Yidao, and now there is only one piece left on the villain. ”
Chen Erxi looked reluctant, looking at his Shu armor, Zhang Xian saw this, directly picked it up and handed it to Chen Erxi, and said:
"I see, this Shu armor is returned to its original owner, tell me again, what is the name of which general who imprisoned your mother? And how did you become a bandit? ”
"The general who imprisoned the villain's mother is called Lu Wuneng." Chen Erxi said fearfully.
"Lu Wuneng? It's that Great Song Army moth again! Don't worry, this person knows the official, as long as your mother is still alive, the official saved it for you. Zhang Xian said with anger in his heart.
"Thank you, Lord Zhang, thank you, Lord Zhang, if you are rescued by the villain's mother, the villain really doesn't know how to thank you! Woo woo woo ......" Chen Erxi said and cried again, paused and continued.
"Just last month, the Tartar cavalry attacked General Lu Wuneng's station, because General Lu Wuneng's sergeants were not prepared, so that part of the grain and grass in the army was burned by the Tartars, Marshal Lu Wende was furious, General Lu Wenneng pushed out his guard battalion commander Liu Zuohu as a scapegoat, then Liu Zuohu knew, in order to survive, did not wait for Lu Wuneng to come back, he looted Lu Wuneng's belongings, and then fell into the grass. By the way, the villain was also held hostage to make Shu armor for him, so he came all the way here, but my mother has been locked up at General Lu Wuneng. The villain was very worried about his mother's safety and had been trying to find a way to abscond, but Liu Zuohu looked at the villain too closely and never found a good opportunity, and then he met the adult and wiped us out in one fell swoop. Master Zhang, this is what happened in an all-round way. Chen Er said sadly.
"Chen Erxi, it can be seen that you are also a hard-working person, but you have a cheerful personality, don't worry, the official will immediately arrange for someone to go back to your mother and receive it here in person. However, this official has a request, not a request, and this official sincerely hopes that you can make a hundred pieces of sergeant Shu armor and a hundred pieces of war horse Shu armor. Not for anything else, just for the sake of our calamitous people of the Great Song Dynasty, not to be wantonly slaughtered by the Tartars. The divine army you met earlier is the sergeant who will fight against the Tartars in the future, and the officer hopes to protect them, let them kill more Tartars, and return us Han people to a bright future, so that thousands of ordinary people like you will no longer be displaced, no longer separated from flesh and blood, and no longer separated from relatives and death. Of course, if you really don't want to, the official will not be reluctant, saving your mother is out of moral righteousness, not an exchange of interests. Zhang Xian said.
"My lord, if you want to kill the Tartars, the villain is 10,000 willing, but it's still the same sentence, it's really not good. Because it is difficult to find all the Javanese rhinoceros skins and Uzi steel that make Shu armor in this world, these scarce items are only available in Persia and the top of the South China Sea, and the villain only encountered a small half of Javanese rhinoceros skin and forty catties of Uzi steel in his life to make two pieces of Shu armor, a majestic Javan rhinoceros can only make six pieces of Shu armor, and only ten catties after twenty catties of Uzi steel drawing, the loss is extremely great, plus the war horse Shu armor, such a cost is unimaginable, so ......." Chen Erxi said very embarrassed.
"In this way, Chen Erxi, if this official prepares all the rhinoceros skins and Uzi steel you want, you tell this official how long will it take you to make one hundred sets of sergeant Shu armor and one hundred sets of war horse Shu armor?" Zhang Xian turned sideways to Chen Erxi and asked eagerly.
"All the materials? Oh my God, the villain really can't think about how much silver and manpower and material resources are needed to complete the materials of a hundred pieces of Shu armor! Let's put it this way, if the materials are really complete, if the villain leads 500 people to make it, it will take a year at the earliest. Chen Erxi looked at the roof with both eyes, counted the time, and said to Zhang Xian.
"In this way, after half a year, the official will give you a thousand people, and promise to prepare the Javanese rhinoceros skin and Uzi steel for you, and the officer hopes to make a hundred sets of sergeant Shu armor and a hundred sets of war horses within half a year, I believe that the official will do what he says, and he will never break his word!" Zhang Xian sincerely looked at Chen Erxi's eyes and said.
"The villain must do it, and I believe in the adult!" Chen Erxi saw trust and sustenance in Zhang Xian's eyes, which was not the same as those high-ranking officials and nobles who only used Shu armor as their self-defense, so Chen Erxi involuntarily said these short eleven words, but it was a commitment from the heart.
Wang Fu, who was standing beside Zhang Xian, smiled with his chin bowed, both respectful and admirable, and sighed in his heart, from inferring Chen Erxi's life experience to accepting Chen Erxi under the account, in less than an hour, it was reasonable, reasonable, affectionate and righteous, even iron would be melted. This young man is not a thing in the pool after all, and when the wind and clouds meet, it is the time when the sea crosses and reveals the true colors of the hero.
Zhang Xian saw that Chen Erxi agreed to him, and he was very relieved in his heart, as the most important part of building the Nether Wolf Rider, the world's divine soldier, super defense can bring super attack, this blood capital must also be paid, Zhang Xian turned to Wang Fu and said:
"Wang Jiaotou, after Luo comes back in three days, you ask him to come to see me, and this official will send him to find Lu Wenhuan, and we don't want a tael of silver for the compressed grain and grass that I bought from him before, and the condition is to take Chen Erxi's mother over! I believe that Lu Wenhuan will go to Lu Wuneng to ask for someone. Zhang Xian said calmly.
"My lord, that batch of compressed grain and grass is more than 10,000 taels of silver? ..... Yes, old man, old man obeys! Wang Fu heard that the compressed grain and grass worth more than 10,000 taels of silver were gone, and he suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, but he instantly understood Zhang Xian's intentions, there was no reluctance, after all, yes, no, it seems that he is still too small, and he can't compare to this young man's bearing.
"Huh? In order to save the villain's mother, the adults have to use more than 10,000 taels of silver in exchange? That's not possible, that's not possible, the lives of villains and mothers are not so valuable......." Chen Erxi was frightened by the amount of silver that Wang Fu said, and said incoherently.
"There are all living beings in the world, no one's life is inherently valuable or not, Chen Erxi, you have to look up to yourself! Your mother's affairs, you don't have to worry anymore, the official will definitely make proper arrangements, this half a year, the official will introduce you to a master, you go to the firearms camp to find something to do, Yiduo is not pressing, half a year later, you will start to be busy with your Shu armor production. Your mother should be able to reunite with you in two months, if nothing else. ”
"The adults are gracious and virtuous, and the villains remember the five!" Chen Erxi knelt in front of Zhang Xian this time, kowtowed and said.
Zhang Xian hurriedly helped Chen Erxi up and said:
"By the way, we don't call villains here, all my Zhang Xian's subordinates will call themselves subordinates, understand?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile.
"Hey, hey, villain, oh, no, the subordinates understand, the subordinates understand!" Chen Erxi also laughed.
"Xiaocui, you take a set of clean clothes for Chen Erxi to change, and then take Chen Erxi to see the official's father-in-law, and arrange for Chen Erxi to learn how to make fierce fire oil!" Zhang Xian said with a smile.
When Chen Erxi saw the smiling maid Xiaocui, his face immediately turned red again, and he buried his head low, so that Zhang Xian and Wang Fu next to him couldn't help laughing.
