Chapter 0176: Qingtang Jia
It's just a small military city, what other good things can there be? Zhang Yue couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but now that he was idle, he was willing to take a look. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info into Cui Huxin's big tent, and the two big red lacquered boxes on the ground in the corner are very eye-catching in the simple military tent, I'm afraid that's it.
"General Zhang, please look! I didn't dare to hide it! Cui Hu had a hint of pain in his eyes, and opened the small wooden box placed horizontally on top of the big box.
A burst of golden light flashed, almost blind, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be stunned, stepped forward to take a closer look, the smaller box was some jewelry, there were hairpins made of gold and silver hairpins and jade bracelets and necklaces or something, the quality was average, and some scattered gold and silver, which were worth a little money, and these things couldn't get into his eyes.
Zhang Yue moved the small box and opened the large wooden box below, inside were several sets of unused jet-black iron armor, the workmanship was very exquisite, and the most conspicuous thing was the helmet, which felt very familiar.
"This is the phoenix winged ear protector cherry top hood? There is also a mountain pattern armor......" Zhang Yue suddenly became excited, picked up the helmet and took a closer look, the surface turned out to be a head-shaped whole, very smooth like plate armor, with brass trim and ear guards, and a conical pointed head on the top like a spear tip, shining with a dark blue cold light.
The mountain armor is composed of multiple pieces, similar to the mountain armor on his body, and is also composed of neck guards, shoulder pads, shawls, and breastplates and knee-length armor skirts, shin armor and cloud-headed black leather boots, but the soft leather and the black thin silk inside are very good, and the dark blue armor inlaid on the outside is not only regular in size but also very smooth, and there is a different kind of cold touch to the touch. When you hold it in your hand, you can see your face like a mirror.
Zhang Yue was a little surprised, could this be tungsten steel? It's a mechanically stamped piece of armor, which looks a bit like a metal strap for a watch! But how could there be anything in this age?
"What kind of armor is this? Is there a lot of Ori's? Zhang Yue didn't see the color of the nail piece, but he also knew that it was a high-quality product.
"Not much...... This is from the hands of the Qingtang Qiang people in Shanzhou, known as Qingtang Jia, imitating the late Tang phoenix wings and mountain pattern armor, there are two pairs here, absolutely rare to see, it should be brought by the Ge Branch, and no one else will have. Cui Huxin explained.
"Qingtang Jia? Do you know how the Qingtang Qiang people built it? Zhang Yue was shocked when he heard this, and immediately remembered: It is recorded in the historical materials of later generations that he knew that Qingtang Jia was a fine cold forging armor that was famous in the world during the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was unique to the Qiang people in Shanzhou.
After the collapse of the Tubo Dynasty, it also fell into a fragmented melee like the Central Plains, with the aristocratic warlords separating one side and forming another regime, including the restoration of the Zhangxiong people near the area of the Green Ridge, Xiaobolu and Tianzhu, and established the Guge Dynasty; The original Tibetan aristocracy also successively established regimes such as Bowo and Wusi.
The Tubo royal family was expelled, and he was exiled in Khotan since he was a child, and was welcomed by the Qiang people of Shanzhou in Qinghai, but he was defeated after only a few decades of founding the country, and Qingtangjia was flourishing in the world during this period. However, this is all decades later, and Qingtang Jia is now circulating, indicating that this is the technology of the Qiang people.
"I don't know! I haven't heard of it, this kind of technology is not passed on by the Qiang people, these two pairs may be gifts! The chest was a set of two scimitars, with a total scabbard. There was also a broad-edged broadsword and a long sword, which were also made by the Qiang people. ”
Zhang Yue was surprised when he heard this, put down his armor, and opened another long box, on which were two blue and black scimitars, the blade was slightly wider and semi-circular arc, he was not interested in this shape, so he picked it up and put it aside. At the bottom is a large knife with a sheath, and when you pull it out, the blade is slightly curved, but there is no bloodletting groove, and it is a bit heavy, like a ghost-headed knife.
The blue-black long sword was pulled out of the yellow skin wooden sheath, and he immediately felt a cold breath rushing towards his face, and there was no blood groove, but the straight body and wide blade, the total length of one meter was almost like it, and it was heavy in his hand, about ten catties, and it was difficult for people with poor arm strength to use this kind of heavy sword.
"Since you are willing to take it out, it shows that you are sincere! So be it! I want two sets of mountain armor and scimitar heavy sword, and the big sword is left to you, how about it? Zhang Yue said with a smile, this Cui Huxin doesn't seem to be hidden, but if that's the case, then it's hell. Zhang Yue secretly regretted that he didn't send someone to follow him to raid the treasury last night.
"Absolutely...... General Zhang is willing to promote me as the defense envoy of the Chishui Army, and I should repay it. Cui Hu said with a casual smile.
However, Zhang Yue still saw the hypocrisy behind his smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Who said that the ancients were easy to coax, and those who could survive in this troubled era were not good.
Zhang Yue took his things to his camp at the moment, washed them, changed into clean clothes and came out, just in time for the celebration banquet, and the people who could sit at the table were all officers at the command level, plus Shen Jialan, Shen Jingang and others, Shen Xuelian did not come.
Zhang Yue and Hao Tianying's brave image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even the officers of the Fan soldiers are very admired, and they all gathered around to toast, but the result is that the meal was not eaten much, the wine did not stop, and the barley wine mixed with some milk was not very delicious, Zhang Yue quickly ran back to the barracks and simply went to mix with the soldiers.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yue, Hao Tianying, and Chen Jia led their own soldiers out of the city, and only one battalion of the three battalions of soldiers brought from Guzang was brought back, leaving Cui Hu with 1,500 soldiers to stay here.
The soldiers of the two battalions waited in line with more than 1,000 horses, Shen Jialan and Shen Xuelian brothers and sisters took more than 200 horsemen to escort out of the south city gate.
Shen Xuelian also saw Zhang Yue, but her brother was next to her, she couldn't speak, she just smiled at Zhang Yue, and also trotted non-stop.
"Miss Shen, can you wait a moment?" Zhang Yue arched his hand on the horse and smiled.
As soon as he spoke, Shen Jialan immediately looked at his sister with a vigilant face, her eyes full of sternness. Shen Xuelian looked at her brother with some fear, but she still took two maidservants to step forward, and asked with an unnatural face, "...... Anything else? ”
"Yes! This one is for you! Zhang Yue picked up the sheathed double knife from his horse and handed it over.
Shen Xuelian was surprised, looked at Zhang Yue, and saw that he had a kind smile on his face, which did not seem to be fake, so she reached out and took it out and took out half of it, and found that it was actually a double knife, so she couldn't help but be full of joy and happily accepted it.
"What a knife! Thank you! It's a pity that I don't have any good things to give you in return...... Will you still come to Liangzhou? Shen Xuelian said, inadvertently revealing the little secret in her heart.
"Maybe come! We'll see you later! Zhang Yue said ambiguously, but he knew in his heart that it would definitely come again, so he didn't know when.
"What does it matter to you if he doesn't come to Liangzhou? Let's go......" Shen Jialan hit the horse over, happened to hear it, asked with a cold face, and stared at the scimitar hanging on the side of Shen Xuelian's saddle with an unkind face, but didn't say anything more.
Shen Xuelian didn't look at her brother's face at all, she looked back at Zhang Yue from time to time, and saw that he was waving to herself, her face was slightly red, and she felt a little lost in her heart. (To be continued.) )
