Luo Xiao rolled off the horse neatly, and a soldier hurriedly pulled the horse, and the two walked forward with a smile and a smile.

"Uncle Lo, I don't know if you are looking for me, is there anything wrong?"

Luo Pengfei held a treasure knife, wore a three-pronged purple and gold crown, hung a Beichuan red cotton robe with a hundred flowers, wore a beast-faced head swallowing chain armor, tied a delicate lion belt at the waist, and tied an eight-backed flag behind his back, majestic and majestic.

"Chen Yi, before the army set off, His Majesty repeatedly instructed his ministers to be sure to take care of your safety in the frontier, by the way, in view of your lack of martial arts, the emperor specially entrusted me to bring you gold silk soft armor for you to wear on your body."

Luo Pengfei took a wooden box from the hands of the officers and soldiers behind him and handed it to Chen Yi, Chen Yi couldn't wait to open it on his behalf, only to see a golden soft armor in the wooden box, thinking that this is not the ancient version of body armor? If it's gold, it's estimated to be worth a lot of money.

"Xiao Yi, the golden silk soft armor is the same as chain mail, although it is very effective against slashing weapons such as knives, it can prevent the knife from cutting into the limbs, and use the method of increasing the contact surface to turn the force of the knife into a relatively slight blunt injury. However, there is a limit to this effect, and the effectiveness of heavy slashing weapons such as axes is very limited, and this kind of weapon can directly cut off the golden silk soft armor.

”

Luo Pengfei was afraid that Chen Yi would think that after wearing the golden silk soft armor, he would not know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, so he explained it to Chen Yi, which was also a wake-up call for Chen Yi to pay more attention to himself.

Chen Yi hurriedly took out the soft armor from the wooden box, and the soft armor was not light, and he stuffed the wooden box into Luo Xiao's hand, with a smile in his eyes.

"Uncle Luo, is this golden silk soft armor my exclusive thing, and I don't need to be here in the future, and I will return it to Your Majesty?" Chen Yi asked shyly.

"Since Your Majesty has rewarded you, you will definitely not take it back, it belongs to you."

"This gold silk soft armor should be worth a lot of money, right?"

"This gold silk soft armor in your hand, every silk thread is made of gold, do you say it's worth it?"

After Chen Yi listened, he felt that the whole person was about to float, happiness came too suddenly, twenty or thirty catties of gold, you can sell it for a lot of money.

Luo Xiao saw Chen Yi's constant smirk, almost drooling, and hurriedly patted him on the shoulder.

"There is one more thing, Your Majesty has assigned you thirty-five Imperial Forest Soldiers, and they will protect you on the road until the end of the Great War and return to Beijing safely."

"Where are they now?" Chen Yi couldn't wait to meet him.

"They haven't left yet, and it's estimated that in three or five days, you'll be able to meet."

Chen Yi said goodbye to Luo Pengfei and handed the wooden box to the dog, asking him to keep it and not lose it.

After a heavy snowfall, the road surface becomes muddy, think about the cement road in the future, no matter how heavy the rain or snow, can be unimpeded, it will be like this how difficult to walk, it is a pity to customize the boots.

Chen Yi walked for five or six days, and Chen Yi finally understood that the reason why the ancient march was slow was not only because the roads were difficult to walk, but also because of the tens of thousands of mighty troops, and the army was equipped with a mixed army of "foot and cavalry" with baggage convoys, cavalry, infantry, and civilian officials accompanying the army. Most roads can only allow two or three people to travel in parallel. The soldiers followed a muddy road that looked like a winding rope with no end.

They skirted the mountainside, crossed the hill, climbed into the snow-soaked swamp beach, and disappeared above the group.

When the army walks, it is still mainly in two or four columns.

During this period, in addition to civil engineering operations, it was necessary to constantly send people to chop wood to prepare fuel for the rear army, fortunately, in ancient times, there was an inexhaustible supply of wood, although the mountain was a snow-capped field, but it could still be clearly seen, dense forest.

Every time the army is stationed, it is necessary to find a safe source of water in advance, and even dig a manure pit beforehand. So as not to cause infectious diseases caused by soldiers who defecate at will.

Before Chen Yi left the capital, he bought a lot of items, all kinds of herbs, spices, everything he could think of, he bought some.

Of course, among these things, the most important thing is the hidden weapon that I specially ordered, single-barrel sleeve arrows and plum blossom sleeve arrows.

Both types of Hidden Arrows are tied to the forearm, with the tip of the barrel close to the wrist and covered by the sleeve. There is a spring in the quiver, and the barrel is equipped with a mechanism, and when the mechanism is pressed, the small arrow in the barrel is shot forward. Single-barrel Hidden Arrows can only be loaded with one arrow at a time, and must be reloaded after being fired. Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrows can be loaded with six small arrows at a time, one arrow in the middle, and five arrows around, arranged in the shape of plum blossoms, which can be fired continuously.

These two things, but the things that save his life, Chen Yi didn't tell anyone, not that he didn't trust others, but that he knew that there was no impermeable wall in the world.

Chen Yi also gave himself, Goudan, Luo Xiao, three people, one made a pair of slingshots, in addition to being used as a hidden weapon, the most important thing is to be able to improve their own food, before coming to find out clearly, the army food is really unsightly, think about it or do it yourself better, today no matter what, you don't want to be there, eat the food in the army.

At the time of Shen, the army stopped, intending to camp on a high ground near a water source and surrounded by dense forests, and wait until tomorrow before leaving.

The three of Chenyi, following some of the soldiers who went to cut wood, sneaked into the mountains to see if they could shoot down the prey, intending to treat their own food.

The three of them bent over and kept looking around, constantly searching for prey in the forest.

"Wait a minute." Chen Yi looked at the footprints in front of his feet, and whispered, Chen Yi squatted down, Luo Xiao took an arrow from his back and put it on the bow, secretly observing the surroundings, ready to shoot the prey at any time.

Chen Yi carefully observed the footprints in front of him, these footprints, no matter how you look at them, look like they were left by a wild boar, there are a few pieces of feces of different sizes next to the footprints, and he found a wooden stick in his hand, and wrote down the dung, and found that the feces still have hot gas.

"You smell it, it's still fresh, and there's still hot air coming out." Chen Yi put this-stirring stick in front of Luo Xiao's eyes, and said to Luo Xiao with bad intentions.

"Hurry up and get out of the way." Luo Xiao hurriedly took two steps back, covered his nose with his sleeve and said, thinking that since he was a child, he had never seen someone chasing and smelling, and he had opened his eyes today.

"Be careful, why don't you go up and take a look, you can't talk about it tonight, you can have a delicious meal."

The three of them followed the footprints, chased after about a stick of incense, and finally saw a group of wild boars in the distance looking for food in the oak forest, which had a large number of acorns under the fallen leaves, and the wild boars depended on it to survive the winter.

There are about ten wild boars in the woods, and if you can take them all, you will definitely get a mouthful of soup for each person, although they will not be able to get a mouthful.

"Xiao Yizi, this time we are going to send it, you see how we will kill all these beasts."

"Can you? Although you have high martial arts, this is ten wild boars. ”

"Second-rate martial arts, it's not blown, I'll let you see my archery skills today." Luo Xiao bent over and walked over from the bushes.

The weather is like a child's face, it will change, a moment ago it was still cloudy, the sky was full of thick gray-yellow turbid clouds, and suddenly the north wind whined and roared, shuttling through the mountains, running in the air unscrupulously,

Silver-gray clouds rushed across the sky. It is the wind and snow that are coming, and the wind is full of buildings!
