The winter sun is warm in the horse, but everything is not much life, and the withered yellow grass flutters listlessly in the wind, as if trying to avoid the cold wind, but the weak body can't escape the cold wind no matter how much it dodges.

Lin Fan was also very listless, when he got up early in the morning and heard that he was going to set off in thirteen days, his whole person was as lifeless as the little withered grass, bitter, he had to go back on the road after marching for more than a month, and he had to go back on the road after only ten days of rest, thinking about the hardships of the march, Lin Fan secretly scolded Lao Cheng 10,000 times in his heart, if he hadn't been talkative, self-righteous, and without his consent, he would have offered His Majesty any sewing and medical rescue techniques, and now he would not stay here and suffer this kind of suffering.

Xue Rengui and Niu Zhongren were the happiest, they could finally go to the battlefield after waiting for so long, and the two of them laughed when they got up in the morning, and they laughed like that when they exercised.

Looking at Niu Zhongren's smiling face full of spring breeze, Lin Fan became angry, if it weren't for his talkative Lao Cheng Lao Niu, how would he know, although it wasn't all his fault, but here he could be angry with him, and he wouldn't beat anyone・・・・・・

Niu Zhongren looked at the panting Lin Fan inexplicably, he didn't understand why Lin Fan ran over early in the morning and beat himself, his body didn't hurt, it was inexplicable, when he kept complaining that if it weren't for a few of them, he wouldn't be so bitter now, Niu Zhongren understood, smiled and held his tall and mighty body to meet him, let Lin Fan continue to beat, how comfortable and how to beat, as long as he can accept this fact.

Lin Fan rubbed his hands and walked away, this guy's body is too hard, and he felt a little uncomfortable just after going up and beating a few punchers, so forget it, only these ten or so happy days have passed, and I have to find something to do.

But there is nothing interesting to do in this barracks, I walked around for half a circle, I couldn't find anything to do, they were all big men, nothing to see, I ran to a small attic, I wanted to see if there were any beautiful women in the neighborhood to go out, but unfortunately I was disappointed, how could there be beauties in and out of the places where the surrounding barracks were all around, and the beauties were basically scared by Jieli and didn't dare to go out.

In this case, sleep is the best enjoyment.

"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north to ・・・・・・"

Lin Fan really wanted to live the days of singing and dancing in Chang'an, but how could it be in the barracks, he couldn't even sleep well in the afternoon, he was woken up by the singing outside the house not long after he lay down, he regretted it very much, he shouldn't have sung this song in the first place, he shouldn't have taught these killing talents this song, now it's okay, this song "Loyal to the Country" has become a catalyst for Li Jing to stimulate morale, he now requires all soldiers to sing this song every day, and the more than 17,000 soldiers stationed in Mayi are just beginning to learn now.

I couldn't sleep and had to lie on the bed, waiting until dinner time to get up lazily, looking at the soldiers who were still training hard, Lin Fan sighed, what kind of soldier is it, it's hard, tired and has no safety guarantee. It's just that he doesn't know that without these hard-working soldiers, the country would not be what it is now, and the country must first be national security if it wants to prosper and develop.

The next day's days are basically the same, Lin Fan, who has nothing to do, only wanders in the barracks, leisurely admiring the training team with his hands, since he has seen the strength of the special forces, Li Boss ordered the whole army to train the army in the way of cultivating special forces, Li Jing has also seen the majesty of the special forces, after the competition that day, he went to Zuo Wuwei on the same day to visit the training methods of the special forces, although there are no training facilities in Mayi at present, but the footwork and standing methods can still be used for reference.

Therefore, the whole army is now training according to the training methods of special forces.

Lin Fan leisurely wandered around the army, humming songs that everyone didn't understand from time to time, this scene made the soldiers envious, jealous and hateful, this guy ate at the same table with his general, slept lazily all day long, and went in and out of the army so freely, it's not fair, why can he, a weak young man, have such treatment, the soldiers who have not been in contact with Lin Fan want to beat him, and proudly look at himself in the cold weather, is it to show off or laugh?

The general at the head was still on Lin Fan's side, and the soldier with the most vicious eyes was kicked and behaved a lot, and without complaint, he withdrew his gaze and looked straight ahead to set up a formation.

For this scene, Lin Fan just glanced at it lightly and continued to hum a song and walked in front of the columns of soldiers, as if it was a superior leader who came to inspect, if Lin Fan shouted "Comrades have worked hard" at this time, he would definitely get a response of "Thank you for your concern".

Life in the barracks is very boring, the only scenery every day is to watch those columns of soldiers practice in the shouts of the generals, training during the day and singing "Loyal to the Country" at night, the people who sing never get tired of singing, and the people who listen to the song are tired of it, I used to like this song very much, but under the free player playback, Lin Fan now wants to change the song to listen to it, I miss the high-tech days of the later generations, with two headphones in my ears, the sound is very loud, and I feel the kind of exciting pleasure brought by music・・・・・・

Lin Fan is a self-cooked person, he mingles with the soldiers in a few days, he likes to roast some mutton to treat everyone, so everyone especially likes to be close to him, there are good things to eat after training, who doesn't want it.

It is a Chinese tradition to exchange gifts, and it will not be missing in any dynasty, Lin Fan provided free food, and these soldiers naturally had to give some gifts in return.

This soldier sent a delicate bow and arrow, that soldier sent a good ancient sword, and some soldiers were more shy and did not dare to send it, so they asked a few soldiers to carry a wooden box to Lin Fan's face, at first glance, it was made of purple trembling wood, looking at the sturdy soldier who was very tired of carrying it, presumably the things in this wooden box must be very valuable, and it was not good to return it and accept it.

Asked Xue Rengui to help open the wooden box, there were indeed a lot of things in it, scattered wood, and some other materials, what is this? Who would be so bored to send something like this.

"Xiao Fan, it's very likely that this is a prank by a general, deliberately sending you some useless wood to make you happy, he probably saw that you received too many things and was unhappy to make such a big joke on you." Xue Rengui tilted his head and looked at the wooden box for a long time to come to this conclusion.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, uncle, who would be idle and have nothing to do with this kind of fame." ”

"And what do you think these pieces of wood are used for?"

Lin Fan frowned and said: "There should be some use, you see not only wood, but also some iron bolts and rubber bands, I'm afraid it's not some useless things... ”

Lin Fan suspiciously broke open the scattered wooden pieces, took out a small piece of cloth hidden inside, and opened it only to see only a few words on it: If it can be assembled, the old man admires.

It's really not simple, it's not a prank, this person calls himself an old man, presumably some people with status and some age, this person shouldn't be someone in the barracks, who will send things to himself, Lin Fan remembered that Ma Yi didn't know anyone.

I can't figure out who didn't waste time thinking about it, judging from the strip of cloth, this person has to assemble these things by himself, what kind of parts are these, Lin Fan poured the whole box of things on the ground, and compared them one by one, and gradually he had a familiar feeling, how is this... How is this similar to the short crossbow he made before, but this one looks bigger.

In Xue Rengui's suspicious gaze, Lin Fan began to assemble it with his hands, and it didn't take long for him to become familiar with the composition, Niu Zhongren, who had just finished training and was about to come in to drink saliva, walked in, and the whole person stayed there, looked at Xue Rengui and Lin Fan, and hurriedly came in and closed the door quickly.

Lin Fan and Xue Rengui were very puzzled, but they heard Niu Zhongren panic and said, "How can you do this, you actually stole the eight bull crossbows in the arsenal, your uncle and nephew don't want to die, right?" ”

"Eight bull crossbows? This is a siege machine. Only then did Xue Rengui know that what Lin Fan assembled was an eight-ox crossbow, he had heard of the eight-ox crossbow in the barracks, but he had never seen it, and a lot of war equipment had only been heard, but he had not personally experienced and seen it.

"It's still pretending."

Niu Zhongren glanced at Xue Rengui with disdain: "If you steal it out and pretend not to know it, do you think you can escape punishment?" Don't dream, hurry up and talk about it, what do you want to do, why are you going to steal the eight-bull crossbow, it's about to attack the city, if General Li finds that the eight-bull crossbow is missing, what do you say he will do, this is a military order, you have to kill the head, I can't say anything even if I break my mouth, hurry up, send it back secretly immediately. ”

Niu Zhongren found that he was very sad, and talked bitterly for a long time, but the two young men in front of him were indifferent, and looked at himself with the eyes of a fool, which made Niu Zhongren even more wondering, did he blame them?

Lin Fan sighed lightly, and said seriously: "Zhongren, you are right to act like this from the standpoint of a friend, but I have to advise you, words can't be said nonsense, and you can't be persuaded indiscriminately, before saying these words, you must first think about whether you should say it or not, instead of saying whatever you want to say, otherwise you will be used as a laughing stock... I won't pursue you this time, and I will have to pay attention to it in the future." ”

"Take a closer look."

Lin Fan said leisurely around the Eight Bull Crossbow: "Do you see this is like the Eight Bull Crossbow we used in the siege, the structure looks similar, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a big difference, the size is more obvious, you don't blame you for not seeing it, because you just thought about the short circuit in your head for your friend, do you see that this Eight Bull Crossbow is much smaller?" If you look at whether this buckle is much more flexible, and if you look at the force, is it much less labor-saving? If you don't believe me, you can come and try it. ”

Niu Zhongren walked over with a puzzled face, groped around the Eight Bull Crossbow for a long time, and finally grinned: "This is indeed not the Eight Bull Crossbow we use in combat, it seems that you really didn't do this kind of stealing weapons, but ・・・・・・"

He frowned again and asked puzzledly: "Where did this eight-bull crossbow come from, Xiao Fan ・・・・・・?"

Niu Zhongren looked at Lin Fan suspiciously and said, "Shouldn't this be made by you again?" ”

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I didn't design it, I just assembled it." ”

"Who's that?"

Lin Fan smiled bitterly: "I also want to know." ”

Niu Zhongren and Xue Rengui carefully studied the Eight Bull Crossbow around the two killers, Xue Rengui was the most curious, this was the first time he saw the Eight Bull Crossbow, Niu Zhongren was happy to be a teacher, telling the glorious deeds of the Eight Bull Crossbow in battle・・・・・・

Lin Fan's gaze drifted into the distance, and he was a little happy and curious in his heart, this is a modified eight-bull crossbow, whose masterpiece will this be, could it be that this Ma Yi will have a master of the modified eight-bull crossbow? Lin Fan remembered that when he designed the short crossbow for Lao Cheng, Lao Cheng asked him to think about whether there was a way to make the Eight Bull Crossbow more convenient to use, but he didn't come up with it at that time, and he couldn't imagine that someone could do it here, and it seemed that he had really met a master.

How does this master know himself, haha, it seems that there is a good show to watch.

Lin Fan's mood suddenly improved a lot, and with this mysterious master, Lin Fan felt that his days in Ma Yi had become interesting.

Lin Fan pondered how to reply to this master, and thought for a long time, and finally he pulled Xue Rengui and Niu Zhongren apart, dismantled a good eight-bull crossbow again, put it back in the wooden box, and wrote a few words on the back of the cloth strip: Soeasy.

Looking at these English, Lin Fan became more and more happy in his heart, look at you cow, if you can understand the meaning of these words, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Lin.

Xue Rengui and Niu Zhongren didn't understand why Lin Fan did this, how to dismantle the good Eight Bull Crossbow, they were very sorry, but Lin Fan didn't care at all, and said that he already knew how to modify the Eight Bull Crossbow, and without this one, he could also create another one.

Re-covered the wooden box, called Xue Rengui and Niu Zhongren, who were still in pity, and carried the wooden box to the door.

"Xiaofan, what are you doing, don't you want to retreat?" Niu Zhongren didn't understand Lin Fan's approach very much.

"If you don't want it, you can give it to me, why go back."

"I like it so much, I'll get you another day... I'm replying to him, okay, let's wait for news, don't go out from now on, the master will carry the wooden box away." Lin Fan's house is located in the alley, no different from ordinary people's homes, anyone can come, although not far from the army training place, but you can't drive the people away just because the army wants to train, this is against Tang law.

Niu Zhongren still regretted and said: "Xiaofan, you are not made for me, but for our entire army, if the eight bull crossbows in the arsenal can be as flexible and easy to use as the eight bull crossbows just now, it will greatly improve our combat efficiency, if this technology tells General Li, he will be very happy and value you very much, maybe the emperor will know and reward you at that time・・・・・・"

"Don't give this news just yet."

Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "Wait until I confirm who is behind this before offering this technology, now is not the time." ”

Niu Zhongren didn't say anything more, and when he closed the door, he reluctantly glanced at the wooden box, his eyes full of distress・・・・・・ (to be continued.) )
