Cheng Xiaoyu was very nervous. He said that he was an officer, but he was just a junior officer who commanded a hundred horsemen, and the one he usually saw the most was just an official at the rank of captain and captain of his immediate superior, and Ma Monkey was the highest-ranking general he had ever contacted, but it was only a few sides, and it was after he was injured. But now, all the people standing in this room are the top figures in the Ming Kingdom, not to mention the emperor, generals like Ma Monkey are considered to be low in the room.

I wanted to pay a big salute, but I was stopped by the emperor's mouth, so I could only stand there on crutches like a wooden stake.

"Let's get started!" Qin Feng nodded at Xu Lai.

Xu Lai walked to Cheng Xiaoyu's side, reached out and picked up Cheng Xiaoyu, who was tall and tall as a cow, like a chicken, snatched the crutch in his hand and threw it far away to the corner, and then pressed Cheng Xiaoyu to a large table, and with a sigh, he tore off the trouser tube of Cheng Xiaoyu's severed limb, revealing that only half of the leg left due to amputation, including the part below the knee, was gone.

Stretched out his fingers and pressed the muscles near the wound, Xu Lai nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the recovery is good, this kid has good physical fitness." ”

Looking at a large group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries standing beside him, Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but close his eyes.

Xu Lai opened the box he brought with him, took out two pieces of silver glittering utensils from the inside, placed them on the table, and first put the previous one on Cheng Xiaoyu's thighs.

The top iron sleeve used for fixing is all made of steel, which is quite flexible, and on the outside, Xu Lai added a belt with a live buckle, at this time Xu Lai tightened the belt, and the upper part of the entire prosthesis was firmly fixed on Cheng Xiaoyu's thigh.

All eyes fell on the other longer prosthetic leg, and it was clear that this one was the key.

Picking up the other section, Xu Lai had to be much more careful this time, with the sound of the snap, the two prosthetic limbs were connected together, Xu Lai lifted Cheng Xiaoyu's thigh with one hand, and held the calf with the other hand, gently shaking it up and down, the knee joint moved freely, and he couldn't help but show a satisfied smile. Flattening his legs, he held the big silver foot below, the size of this iron foot and Cheng Xiaoyu's own foot size is also the same size, turning left and right, moving up and down, those joints made by Xu Lai's own hands rotated with his hands without hindrance.

There were exclamations all around, and everyone present had seen the prosthesis, but it was just like a crutch on the leg, but the prosthetic foot, ankle joint, and knee joint created by Xu Lai could move as freely as a real leg.

"That's it!" Xu Lai stretched out his hand and patted Cheng Xiaoyu's face with his eyes closed, "Boy, stand up and take two steps." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu sat up a little stiffly, his face was flushed, he stared at his newly installed silver shining iron leg uneasily, reached out and stroked it gently, and the cold feeling spread along his fingertips to his heart. He moved his body, turned around from the platform, put his two feet on the ground, and there was a slight feeling of force and pressure on the right thigh connecting to the prosthesis, he hesitated for a moment, and looked at the crutch that Xu Lai threw in the corner.

"Stand up, boy, you won't need crutches in the future." Xu Lai obviously saw Cheng Xiaoyu's gaze, said very unhappily, reached out and grabbed the back of Cheng Xiaoyu's neck, lifted him up, and threw him to the ground.

Cheng Xiaoyu stood there steadily.

"Sit two steps, little fish, take two steps!" The horse monkey encouraged.

In the expectant gaze of everyone, Cheng Xiaoyu took a step forward a little stiffly, his iron feet fell to the ground, and there was a soft sound, his body shook slightly, but finally stood firmly.

"Go on!" Xu Lai ordered.

Cheng Xiaoyu walked forward slowly, and as the distance got farther and farther, his pace became more and more stable.

"Turn back!"

Hearing Xu Lai's order, Cheng Xiaoyu turned around and walked back, everyone's eyes had fallen on a few joints of the prosthetic limb at this time, and what made everyone stunned was that these joints controlled by the organ were really like human joints, moving freely, able to bend knees and turn, if Cheng Xiaoyu put on pants and shoes at this time, I was afraid that if I didn't look carefully, I really couldn't look at this broken leg.

There was an uproar, and the hall burst into warm applause.

"Master Xu, you have made a great contribution!" Chen Zhihua looked at Xu Laidao eagerly.

"That's good!" Qin Feng nodded happily.

Xu Lai's face was full of pride, and he stretched out his hand and took out a box from behind and threw it to Cheng Xiaoyu: "Boy, this is a spare pair, two pairs can be replaced and worn, remember to take good care of Luo, especially those joints, must be regularly greased and kept smooth, otherwise it will be worn out, this thing is not cheap." ”

At this time, Cheng Xiaoyu was already ecstatic, except for the slightest discomfort on his legs, his actions were already like a normal person.

"Thank you, Master."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, General!"

"Thank you, General Ma!"

"Thank you father-in-law!"

He thanked him one after another, bowed to everyone in a circle, and when he saw Cheng Xiaoyu's face, everyone laughed.

"Little fish, you can follow me again in the future." The horse monkey patted Cheng Xiaoyu's shoulder vigorously.

"Charged?" Xu Lai on the side shook his head: "This is not good." Putting on this prosthetic leg is just allowing him to live an ordinary life, and he can't do the fierce things like going into battle to kill the enemy, General Ma, do you think I'm a god? The joints of this leg are very delicate, let's put it this way, in addition to bearing his own weight, he can carry something weighing dozens of pounds at most, and no matter how much, the organs that make up the joints can't stand it. So don't think about this kid going into battle again, and live an ordinary life in the future. ”

"Can't go into battle?" Cheng Xiaoyu was immediately a little disappointed.

"Nothing, nothing!" Although Ma Monkey was also a little disappointed, he still smiled and said: "I will still stay in the army in the future, let me be an officer who manages logistics, and I can still make contributions." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu took a long breath, and Mrs. Liu's crying face suddenly flashed in his mind, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly knelt down at the horse monkey: "General Ma, please be angry with me and be presumptuous, since you can't go into battle to kill the enemy, Xiaoyu doesn't want to eat rice in the army, Xiaoyu knows that our troops never raise idlers, even if they are men, they can go into battle to kill the enemy at any time." Xiaoyu asked General Ma to allow me to retire. ”

The monkey's face sank.

"Now I can live like an ordinary person, and after I retire, I can support myself, I won't eat idle food, and I won't be looked down upon, General, please be gracious." The horse monkey kowtowed and said, "Moreover, Xiaoyu still has a good report." ”

"Say it!" The horse monkey said very unhappily.

Cheng Xiaoyu took a deep breath and slowly told the story of him and Liu Kui, and after finishing speaking, he looked up at the people in the hall with some anxiety, "Xiaoyu promised that Liu Kui that he would take care of the mother and son for the rest of his life, and he could still do things in the army, Xiaoyu is actually very happy, but Xiaoyu will inevitably leave here with the army, and they are orphans and widows, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to live well." ”

Ma Monkey knew about this matter, but it was the first time that Qin Feng, Chen Zhihua and others had heard of it.

"A promise of gold, but what a man." Qin Feng glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu and nodded appreciatively. "General Ma will only worry about this matter, you go down first, and General Ma will give you an answer when you turn around."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Xiaoyu knocked a few points heavily, stood up, and cautiously retreated.

"It's a good breaking point!" Qin Feng said suddenly.

After Chen Zhihua was slightly stunned, he suddenly saved what His Majesty the Emperor said again: "Your Majesty means the integration of Qin and Ming?" ”

Qin Feng nodded: "The people of Yongdu, and even a lot of people in Qindi, regard us as still occupiers, invaders, and the integration of the people of the two countries has always been a difficult problem to solve, only by truly solving these problems can the people of Qin have a sense of identity with our Ming Dynasty, and this area can truly become my Ming territory, which is much more difficult than defeating the enemy militarily, since ancient times, it is easy to conquer the body, but it is difficult to conquer the heart." This matter of Cheng Xiaoyu can be used as a model and hyped up. ”

Chen Zhihua nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, if this is the case, you might as well make things more high-profile, first, the fact that Liu Kui fought unyieldingly, but when he died in battle, he was able to attach his wife to his enemy, which can be publicized, and second, the girl of Cheng Xiaoyu's promise is to be vigorously commended, and third, the imperial court naturally wants to give this Mrs. Liu's family extra care, so that they can live a good life." ”

"The first two points are fine, but the third is not, and the extra care will breed some additional thoughts in other people." Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Didn't Cheng Xiaoyu want to stay and take care of their mother and son?" Then let him stay, but there is no need to retire, Yongdu County will be garrisoned in the future, let him take up a position in the local garrison, he is here, and he will naturally take care of the mother and son. ”

"Your Majesty is still thoughtful, and doing this is not inconspicuous." Chen Zhihua nodded in approval.

"Zhihua, you can arrange this matter." Qin Feng said, "Let everyone in Yongdu know about this matter." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Zhihua said.
