Chapter 31: The Iron Arm
The biggest advantage of Lin Hanyu is that he will not be too bored on the way back to Lanting.
Occasionally choked Lin Hanyu a few words along the way, Zhao Fu found that he soon returned to Lanting, and sure enough, the passage of time was relative, Zhao Fu thought wildly.
Although he was about to face a big war, Lan Ting was still as calm as before, and he was not like the imperial capital when he saw Zhao Fu was a bunch of worship, wanting to climb the network of the hottest little white face around the emperor.
Although Lin Haoyan's original sentence "I don't like women" was not widely circulated, but after several night talks with Zhao Fu and directly crowning Zhao Fu as the king of the northwest and the general of the northwest under layers of pressure, there are already storytellers with big brains who have begun to compile the love story between the cream Xiaosheng and the little emperor. The Lan River Empire was very open to speech, and even had laws that stipulated that it was not allowed to punish speech crimes, so various versions soon began to circulate in the Lan River Empire.
Zhao Fu naturally doesn't care about those rumors flying all over the sky, he also knows that rumors are the kind of thing that the more you refute the rumors, the easier it is to make a fuss, as long as you don't pay attention to them, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating after time.
Zhao Fu is very satisfied with the current scene of Lanting City, although there are also people planning to move out of Lanting City, but after all, there are not many, and most of them are businessmen, which will not affect the foundation of Lanting City. Lanting City was originally a military town, and eighty percent of the population base in it were families from military children, and it was precisely because of this that Lanting City was very calm, and it was not like many northwest towns that began to have a large number of people migrating to the interior. For them, war is as common as a commonplace, but this meal has not been eaten for a long time, but there is a faint sense of excitement mixed in it, after all, military merit is the fastest way to promotion.
The convoy of several carriages returned to Lanting, Zhao Fu returned to Lanting, and the Northwest General arrived at Lanting. It's as simple as that, in addition to the small welcome ceremony in the town guard mansion, there is also the long-lost Cao's chicken soup plus thick special edition.
Zhao Fu knew that the reason why Lanting City was still so peaceful was because a former war fortress was waiting for something. Or maybe it's waiting for someone to return to Lanting.
Zhao Fu changed into the military uniform of the Northwest General given by the imperial court, and held the sword representing the power of the general in both hands and climbed the northernmost tower of Lanting City step by step in front of Qin Shangxi, Lin Hanyu, Feng Yu and others.
The people in Lanting City spontaneously gathered under the tallest wall of Lanting without an order, and looked up at the young man on the city tower. Zhao Fu grew up in Lanting City, it can be said that every Lanting person grew up, and after learning that this young man was named the general of the Northwest, the Lanting people were even more surprised, as if a mother was not ready, and her child was at the age of leaving her.
Yes, Zhao Fu is the town guard of Lanting City, but he is also the town guard of the Lanhe Empire, it is impossible to rub Aunt Zhang's soy milk forever to drink, and it is impossible to accompany Aunt Cui to grind tofu forever. People will eventually grow up, so will the young town guard who was so close to them before also become an adult general in the deep mansion?
"I, General Northwest, have a few words to say." Zhao Fu's voice was not loud, but today's Lanting City was calmer than before, and everyone could hear his words clearly when he stood on the city tower.
"Ahem...... Everyone knows that I was made an official by His Majesty? This is the great general of the Northwest...... Well, I don't think I'm very suitable to be an official. Zhao Fu was originally standing on the battlements, but now he sat cross-legged directly, "Actually, I still want to be a town guard the most." ”
"But Beihu's ambition does not die! I promised Your Majesty, this time we will not run away, we refuse peace talks, our purpose this time is to fight to the North Sea and occupy the North Court! ”
"But everyone can rest assured, this time our battlefield will not be the Lan Ting, nor will it be any place within the territory of the Lan River Empire, this is the land we want to protect!"
"So you don't have to be so nervous, hey, it's not convenient to wear this dress," Zhao Fu casually untied the general's shawl and threw it to Lin Hanyu who was standing behind him, "I'm still our northwest town guard." ”
After listening to Zhao Fu's words, the residents under the city wall began to turn their heads and ears to each other, hitting Beihai? Occupy the North Courtyard? How many years has this been a hegemony that has not been achieved?
"Okay, now I announce the last thing, I hope you will send your daughters and children to the mainland." Zhao Fu stood up again, "Although Lanting will not become a battlefield, such a thing as war should not be let them bear it in the first place. ”
With that, Zhao Fu jumped forward and jumped off the battlements. Before everyone even had time to call, and when they were still shocked, Zhao Fu landed easily, "Maybe someone doesn't believe in my ability, show it a little." ”
The silence was followed by enthusiastic cheers, with people shouting and waving their hands as the general shouted.
"Well, General, can we still call you to guard? This one...... Salutation......"
"Of course you can, Your Majesty didn't deprive me of my position as a town guard, I am still everyone's town guard, everyone's town guard." Zhao Fu smiled and left.
Lin Hanyu looked at the general's shawl in his hand and Zhao Fu who disappeared in the crowd, sighed, and said in his heart, Could this kid be addicted to jumping off a building? However, Feng Yu and Qin Shangxi were taken aback, and Ma Xiong, who organized soldiers to conduct simulated battles in the school field, was also speechless for a long time, after all, Lanting's city wall is not short, as the first fortified city in the northwest, even if the Northern Huju clan attacked, Lanting was confident that he could insist on transferring troops to the mainland.
Drinking the oily chicken soup, Zhao Fu sent someone to summon Lin Hanyu.
"I said you're really addicted to jumping?" Lin Hanyu's first sentence when he saw Zhao Fu was this, and the love in his words was better than blame.
"You know that doesn't bother me at all." Zhao Fu blew a mouthful of chicken soup, and the hot air bubbled out.
Zhao Fu didn't feel anything, although the city wall is high, how can it be as high as the moon worship tower? Zheng Yuan also stood aside with an indifferent face, the person who believes in Zhao Fu in the world is Zheng Yuan, Zhao Fu said that he could fly Zheng Yuan would not want to find Zhao Fu's wings, but immediately accepted the concept that Zhao Fu can fly, as for how Zhao Fu wants to fly, Zheng Yuan will not think about it.
"Yo yo yo, you don't have a little fairy in your arms this time." Lin Hanyu pursed his lips and mocked.
"Come on, don't be sarcastic...... I'm looking for you this time for business. Zhao Fu supported his forehead, and he didn't eat soft rice, so he quickly brought the topic to the point.
"Oh? Do you finally think of Ben Gongzi? Lin Hanyu's eyes lit up, "What position are you going to give me?" Don't worry, even if you want me to go to Beiting to get you a bearded girl, it's no problem. ”
Zhao Fu pretended to ponder, "Well, there is a task that you must have." ”
"What?!"
"So...... That's what you're talking about? ”
"Yes, who else can do it but Brother Night Wolf?" Zhao Fu smiled and pushed the reluctant Lin Hanyu to the military tent.
After Zhao Fu passed through the second month of worshipping the moon tower, he felt that the power in his hands was too weak, although he nominally commanded hundreds of thousands of military horses in the entire northwest, but there were too few people under his command who could be trusted, so he proposed to Feng Yu to apply for two thousand personal soldiers.
In front of him, Lin Hanyu was appointed by Zhao Fu to become the head of his group of pro-army.
"What are these boxes?" In addition to the two thousand people with neat military appearances, there are also different large and small boxes, after opening one, Lin Hanyu gasped, which was actually filled with a unified standard of gauntlets, he picked one and put it on himself, and found that it was not so much an gauntlet, but an iron glove.
"The last time you went to catch that arrow in Baiyue Tower, I had some understanding," Zhao Fu also picked up a glove and put it on his left glove, and then took out a Tang knife from another box and threw it to Lin Hanyu, "Come and try to cut me." ”
"Real or fake?"
"Nonsense! Of course it's a real cut! ”
Lin Hanyu took the knife and slashed at Zhao Fu, Zhao Fu only turned to one side slightly, but not to dodge, but to give his left hand an optimal angle. The next moment, Zhao Fu grabbed Lin Hanyu's knife with the glove of his left hand, Lin Hanyu thought to himself that this glove was wearing his left hand, and he just wanted to put away the knife and then split, but found that the knife was actually stuck very tightly by the glove, and at this time he found that the gloves on his hand were very delicate, and the palms and wristbands were covered with dense bayonets.
"That's how it works?" Lin Hanyu was a little excited, this glove is a good thing, maybe it is not very useful on the frontal battlefield, but if it is used for sneak attacks...... As the leader of the Night Wolf Army, the Night Wolf's casualty rate is not only unable to bear the burden of the body, but the second largest damage comes from the suicide attacks of the enemy's dead soldiers. If you have such a glove in melee combat, it will be equivalent to discharging the opponent's weapon!
"Pretty much." Zhao Fu was a little full of the effect of this batch of trial products, although his hand was shocked, but it was more convenient than being slashed, so that he could greatly save the time to avoid in the battle and use the time difference to catch the opponent off guard.
"That ......" Lin Hanyu suddenly revealed a loyal dog-like gaze from Zhao Fu.
"No way!" Zhao Fu refused very decisively.
"You know what I'm trying to say?"
"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?" Zhao Fu was disdainful, Lin Hanyu just wanted to ask for the design of this glove, and then equip it on a large scale in the Night Wolf Army.
Zhao Fu brought Lin Hanyu here, in fact, he had secretly acquiesced, but the production of this kind of glove was still very troublesome, and now only about a hundred pairs have been produced.
"But...... If you can teach me two thousand wolves. Zhao Fu began to seduce Lin Hanyu.
"Wouldn't that be bad?"
"It's not the Night Wolf Sect, anyway, Your Majesty is our brother, he won't mind." Zhao Fu followed the good path.
"Okay......"
"I declare that the Iron Arm is here!"
