When Chao Gai saw someone coming, he knew that it was Tang Bin, and hugged his fists and said, "But Brother Tang Bin."

"I've seen Brother Chao Gai, and this one next to me is Brother Jiao Ting." Tang Bin said.

Jiao Ting smiled: "I still know that I am Jiao Ting, haha." ”

Tang Bin said: "Last time, Brother Chao Gai went thousands of miles to Pudong to look for me, but unfortunately I was not at home, fortunately, Brother Hao entertained me, so that Tang Bin was not ashamed." What Brother Chao Gai did in Yuncheng has also been heard about in the rivers and lakes, and he can be called a model for my generation. ”

Chao Gai said: "It's all a matter of time, the two brothers Tang Bin and Hao Siwen are far away, why don't you eat together?" ”

Tang Bin said: "There are a lot of people coming to this competition, my brother has too many entertainments, and my two brothers are idlers, so it depends on my brother's time." ”

Chao Gai smiled: "No matter how busy you are, you can't snub your brother, let's not go out, let's be in this guest room." ”

"That's very good." Tang Bin said.

Jiao Ting asked the guest room guy to order the dishes, and it didn't take long for them to be delivered. The chef of this welcoming guest inn makes a good dish and makes it very exquisite.

Chao Gai, Jiao Ting, Tang Bin, and Hao Siwen chatted while eating, as for Lu Fang, who fell asleep in another room, he went to Tang Long to get something yesterday, and he didn't sleep well all night.

The four of them chatted very speculatively, it turned out that Tang Bin went out last time to go on a study tour, Tang Bin was good at marksmanship and archery, and went out to find a master to learn.

After the meal, Chao Gai said: "I didn't prepare a gift for Brother Tang Bin in a hurry, I took a pot of arrows from the armory shop, and Brother Tang Bin saw if it was suitable." ”

Chao Gai said and handed a pot of arrows to Tang Bin, Tang Bin hurriedly said: "The gift that my brother gave me last time, Brother Hao Siwen, has already handed it over, how can I accept my brother's gift again." ”

Chao Gai smiled: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, why should you and I be so clichéd." See if it works, and if it doesn't, forget it. ”

Tang Bin took the quiver, there were thirty arrows in the pot, ten of them were bundled, and when he took it out, there were three kinds of arrows. Arrows, armor-piercing arrows, triangular arrows. I touched the arrow, and it was extremely hard, it turned out to be a steel arrowhead. Arrows and triangular arrows are fine, but steel armor-piercing arrows are amazing, and with steel arrows can easily tear through enemy armor. The manufacturing process of steel armor-piercing arrows is complex and costly, and they are generally only equipped in the forbidden army, such as the team led by Dadao Guan Sheng, as the regular army of Pudong, can not be equipped with this kind of arrow. Ordinary archers can't use such a good arrow, this is an arrow specially created by Chao Gai named Tang Long for the generals in the army, and it happened to be used as a meeting gift for Tang Bin.

Tang Bin said: "This arrow is made by a master, and it is definitely not made by ordinary craftsmen. ”

Chao Gai was surprised: "How do you tell this?" ”

"The workmanship is exquisite, and what is built with heart is not what ordinary craftsmen can create." Tang Bin said.

Chao Gai said: "To be honest, there is also a master blacksmith in our army, named Tang Long. He made the arrow. ”

"That's no wonder, I heard that Tang Long is an ancestral craft, building weapons in the Tokyo Forbidden Army, but I don't know why I came here with my brother." Tang Bin asked.

Chao Gai said: "The treatment of the craftsmen of the forbidden army is too bad, the wages are deducted, and the money can't support himself at all. ”

Tang Bin sighed, the treatment of the craftsmen of the forbidden army was actually not as good as that of a local regiment.

Tang Bin said: "I accepted this arrow, thank you brother." ”

"Brother Tang Bin, don't be like this, it's not worth talking about." Chao Gai said.

Jiao Ting asked: "Brother Hao Siwen participated in the gun and stick competition, why didn't Brother Tang participate?" These two games are not at the same time and do not affect. ”

Hao Siwen said with a smile: "Brother Tang Bin's marksmanship is very good, and I am not an opponent at all, so Brother Tang Bin didn't participate in the gun and stick competition in order to take care of me, and only signed up for bows and arrows." ”

I see, Tang Bin is reluctant to do it in the ring with his brother, Tang Bin said: "The ring is a place for martial arts competitions, if the ring is humble to each other, it is fake, if you don't stay with each other, then you can't live brother, so it's better not to participate in the gun and stick competition." ”

Chao Gai smiled: "Brother Tang Bin is really affectionate and righteous. ”

After chatting all morning, Chao Gai accompanied Tang Bin and Hao Siwen to lunch before going back.

Lu Fang had also woken up, replaced Jiao Ting, and followed Chao Gai to take a cloth bag to visit Yuan Lang.

Dangdang, dangdang. Lu Fang knocked on Yuan Lang's door, and someone inside answered, "Who." ”

Chao Gai said: "Chao Jiazhuang, Chao Gai came to ask for trouble. ”

The door creaked open, and there was a huge man inside, with a red beard, a yellow face, and a height of more than one meter eighty-five, different from people like Tang Bin and Hao Siwen, this Yuan Lang was a fierce man type at first glance, and Lu Fang suddenly felt pressure.

Yuan Lang said: "But the owner of Chao Gai Chao, who is known as the King of Tota? ”

Chao Gai said: "It was here that I heard that Brother Yuan had arrived, so I came here to pay a visit. ”

"Please come in." Yuan Lang said.

Chao Gai saw that Yuan Lang had already dressed, and it seemed that he was planning to go out to eat, and he was not polite, so he immediately said: "Brother Yuan Lang is coming from afar, I have prepared a little gift here, and I hope that Brother Yuan Lang will accept it." ”

Yuan Lang has nothing to do with Chao Gai, but he has just heard of Chao Gai's name, but he didn't expect Chao Gai to come back to give him a gift, and immediately said: "Chao Zhuang's master is polite." ”

Chao Gai said and asked Lu Fang to hand over the package, Yuan Lang took it and opened it to take a look, there was actually a pair of water-milled steel-making Laos, although this water-milled steel-making Laos is an unpopular weapon, but it is still very famous in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is a rare fierce general called Li Cunxiao during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and he uses this weapon.

Yuan Lang liked it very much, and immediately picked it up and looked at it carefully, it was actually made of stainless steel, and there was an anti-skid design in his hand. The left hand weighed fifteen catties, and the right hand weighed sixteen catties, Yuan Lang liked it very much, and immediately played in the house, and Lu Fang was very nervous.

After playing for a while, Yuan Lang sent it back again: "Such a valuable thing, the owner of Chao Zhuang will not give it away in vain, just say anything directly." ”

This Yuan Lang is really fast-talking, and Chao Gai did not hide it: "I value your martial arts very much, and I want to invite you to be an officer in our army." ”

"This." Yuan Lang didn't have this kind of thought, as early as when he was in Huaixi, he heard that Yuncheng Chao Gai was recruiting talents, and the treatment he gave was also very good, but it was just a rumor, and Yuan Lang was still very proud as a general.

"I heard that the main force of Chaozhuang is infinite, and the skills are high, as long as the master of Chaozhuang can win in the next move and a half, Yuan Lang is willing to follow the master of Chaozhuang." Yuan Lang said.

Chao Gai smiled: "Let's put the things we go, why don't we have dinner together?" ”

Yuan Lang said: "It is exactly what I want." ”

Chao Gai, Lu Fang, and Yuan Lang went out of the inn to eat, Chao Gai found that the soldiers patrolling around the neighborhood were very close, thinking that it was arranged by Jiao Ting, this Yuan Lang is not a famous enemy, and he is a person with high skills and should be careful.

Chao found a mutton restaurant and said, "Brother Yuan Lang likes to eat mutton." ”

"It's good to have meat to eat, there is nothing taboo." Yuan Lang said.

Chao Gai directly cut five catties of mutton, there was a roast leg of mutton, and the roast leg of mutton was directly given to Yuan Lang, this Yuan Lang was not polite, he picked it up and ate it, it was stained with chili powder, and it was delicious, Yuan Lang said while eating: "I have never eaten such a roast leg of lamb, it is really rare in the world." ”

"There are ingredients that are not available elsewhere, so if they are delicious, eat more if they are delicious, and the local black goats are very famous." Chao Gai said.

Chao Gai and Lu Fang also ate a lot of mutton, but most of them were eaten by Yuan Lang, this person is really a big stomach, and it tastes really good. Chao Gai also secretly praised, if there is no such amount of food, how can he fight with Qin Ming for more than a hundred rounds, if it is only about strength, I am afraid that there are few in the entire Yuncheng group practice that can compare to him.

How can there be meat without wine, but Yuan Lang is very restrained, although he likes to drink very much, but he only ordered it until he arrived, and he stopped drinking after two bowls.

After the meal, Yuan Lang wiped his mouth and said, "I also received the gift and ate the meal." Let's find a place to compare, if you win me, I'll follow you, if you can't win me, this gift won't be returned. ”

Chao Gai laughed: "Haha, Brother Yuan Lang is joking, where is the reason to come back from the things that were sent." Now that it is just dark, and this place is not far from the military camp of our regiment, Brother Yuan Lang is willing to go to the military camp with me to compete, where the field is wide and there are war horses. ”

Yuan Lang said happily: "Okay, Ma Zhan is better, that's exactly what I mean." ”

Chao Gai took Yuan Lang to the Yuncheng regimental training ground, and asked Lu Fang to take Yuan Lang to choose horses and armor. Chao Gai is beating drums and gathering generals here, except for the generals who are on duty outside, basically all of them have arrived, Wang Jin does not come out under normal circumstances due to his special identity, it is not that Chao Gai is afraid of Gao Yu, just for unnecessary trouble.

The military advisor Zhu Wu, the generals Luan Tingyu, Niu Gao, Bian Xiang, Pang Wanchun, Li Kui, Hua Lei, Shi Jin, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Zhou Tong, Yang Chun, and Chen Da have all arrived, as for Du Qian and Song Wan, they are all in charge of logistics, so they are naturally not used, and Liu Tang, Chao Ran, and Chao Zhang are on duty tonight and did not come.

A moment later, Yuan Lang wore a cooked copper helmet, a red battle robe, and rode out on a big black horse with curly hair, holding water-milled steel in his hand, weighing sixteen catties in his right hand and fifteen catties in his left hand, which Chao Gai had just given him.

Yuan Lang was also taken aback when he saw this formation, the cover was neatly draped, holding the golden dragon swallowing halberd in his hand, riding a dark cloud snow horse, on the left was a big man holding a big hammer, and on the right was Lu Fang holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, each riding a war horse majestic. Look at a scribe next to him, his face is sinking like water, and the generals on both sides are riding war horses with weapons one by one, and their movements are uniform, and no one dares to make noise.

Seeing that Yuan Lang was coming, Chao Gai said: "Brother Yuan Lang come here, and I will introduce you to the generals of our army." ”

Yuan Lang was not rude, and came over on horseback to give Chao Gai and everyone a hand.

Chao Gai introduced one by one: "This scribe is the second division of our army, Zhu Wu. This is Luan Tingyu, the head of the gun and stick in our army. ”

Although Zhu Wu's name Yuan Lang has heard of it, it is not prominent, but Luan Tingyu Yuan Lang knows it, and Luan Tingyu with iron rod is a person with unparalleled guns.
