Chapter 167: Turning a corner

Li Qing, who hurried back to Dingzhou from Fuzhou, only rested for a while, and then had to go to Shanglin again, and it was not all a lie to Xiang Xianhe that he was going to launch an autumn offensive against the barbarians, and the offensive was there, but it was not a full-scale war, but a local attack against the surname. Lu Dalin was ready, and he only needed to wait for Li Qing's order to launch an offensive.

The recent intelligence sent back from the grassland made Li Qing notice that there was something unusual in Bayar's Bai tribe, and Huhe's wolf army began to move frequently, Li Qing was not at ease, and decided to go to Shanglin in person to go to the forest and discuss all the details with Lu Dalin.

After two days of bumping on the horse, Rao is Li Qing is general on the horse, and his two thighs were still hot from the side and felt extremely uncomfortable, so when he saw the carriage brought by Shang Haibo, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he said in his heart that this military advisor was not only strategic, but also meticulous, knowing that he had suffered hardships in the past two days.

Throwing the horses to the guards, happily stepping on the carriage, the group went out of the city to the forest, from Dingzhou to Shanglinli, the distance is not close, there are hundreds of miles, Li Qing decided to take the carriage to Fuyuan, and then change to the remaining fast horses, so that tomorrow can rush to the forest.

Soon after sitting in the car, Li Qing noticed that this car was very different from the carriage he had sat in before, extremely stable, and the current road was not like the cement pavement or asphalt road in later generations, and it was very smooth, especially in Dingzhou, a border state like Dingzhou, and the basic conditions were still very poor.

"This car?" Li Qing looked at Shang Haibo opposite. Shang Haibo smiled but did not answer.

Li Qing suddenly realized, "Did the shock absorber of the carriage I said last time come out?" ”

Shang Haibo laughed, "The handsome guess is in the middle, there are more than 10,000 craftsmen in the craftsman camp, and there are really a lot of craftsmen who are good at creating this kind of clever small pieces, after Ren Ruyun took over the task, he met with Xu Xiaodao, and then summoned a few craftsmen with the highest skills. ”

Li Qingbian flattened his mouth, "It's so dark and not slippery, and the appearance is not dazzling at all, I didn't say it like this at the beginning, how much can this guy sell?" Even I don't think it's worth much! ”

"Dashuai, this car is for you, but you don't need to build it brilliantly, it's not that you are reluctant to pay for it, but you don't need it at all now, as you said before, you have to do things in a high-profile manner and be a low-key person."

Li Qing laughed, "You remember what I said, yes, I use it myself, it's still so inconspicuous, I don't want to be like a peacock, always have to open the screen from time to time." ”

"The inside of this car, you look okay, right?" Shang Haibo asked.

Li Qing looked at the carriage deliberately, the outside is inconspicuous, but the inside is still very exquisite, not only the place is spacious, but also the design is extremely exquisite, effectively using every floor of space inside. Stretching out his fingers and knocking on the wall, Li Qing's face couldn't help but show a look of doubt, "What is the bread here?" Doesn't sound right? ”

Shang Haibo said: "Dashuai, there is a whole lot of specially made steel plates in the mezzanine here, not only these four walls, but even the top cover is also equipped with this kind of steel plate, the most laborious thing to make this carriage is nothing else, it is these four steel plates, Xu Xiaodao has taken a lot of effort to get it." ”

Bulletproof car? A noun immediately flashed in Li Qing's mind.

"Ren Ruyun and Xu Xiaodao have both experimented, this kind of steel plate not to mention ordinary crossbow arrows, even the Eight Bull Crossbow can't shoot through, of course, the Eight Bull Crossbow is too strong, and a close shot can knock it over. If you sit in this car, an incident like the assassination in the capital will never happen again. Every time Shang Haibo thought of that assassination, he had palpitations, and no one could have imagined that the dignified Dingzhou marshal was almost planted in the hands of a woman and a mole.

Li Qing's face was a little uncertain, which reminded him of the twelve dead guards. "It's not like all carriages are going to be equipped with this kind of steel plate, right? This is not good, steel is a big secret of our Dingzhou, and it must not be leaked. ”

Shang Haibo said: "Of course, the entire Dingzhou, or the entire Dachu, there is only such one, Dashuai, this kind of steel is not an easy task, this is Xu Xiaodao They hammered it out one by one." ”

"I've worked hard for them, and I'll let them reward them with something when I go back." Li Qingdao.

"This is the handsome's personal grace to him, but the handsome, there is another trick in this carriage!" Shang Tibo smiled and stretched out his hand to press it in the corner behind him, there was a grid sound, and a piece of floor between the two slowly rose, just to the chest of the two, Li Qing couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it, and looked down, this is a small table, and there are four small drawers under the table, open it, and there are teacups, wine glasses, silver chopsticks and other small objects in it. "What a delicate trick!" Li Qing laughed happily, this carriage is simply a small dwelling.

"It's still there, big handsome!" Shang Haibo lowered the table back, turned around, turned his back to Li Qing and pounded for a while, and when he turned sideways to get out of the way, his original seat had been pulled away and flattened, and the bottom was actually empty, with some futon sheets and other things, and pointed to Li Qing's buttocks: "Dashuai, it's the same down there." ”

Li Qing was speechless, such a carriage actually made so many tricks.

"It's still there, big handsome!" Shang Haibo said again, just like a multi-treasure boy, he took it out and came again. At the gate of the carriage, Shang Haibo opened a piece of the floor, reached into it and pulled it, and a metal object rose up, Li Qing couldn't help but be taken aback, this was a strong crossbow.

Shang Haibo smiled and hooked the strings, the steel wire strings made a crisp sound, and there was a box next to the crossbow frame, and the crossbow arrows inside flashed with cold light. Li Qing couldn't help but think to himself, if someone really opened the door, haha, seeing a strong crossbow facing him, I'm afraid that at that moment there would be no other thoughts except despair, right?

"Good guys!" Li Qing praised and took this crossbow again, this bulletproof car can be promoted to an armored car.

"For the safety of the marshal, we in Dingzhou are exhausted, painstaking, and hope that the marshal will take care of himself, the son of a daughter, he can't sit down, like the previous few horses to take Fuzhou This kind of thing, we don't want it to happen again." Shang Haibo put the crossbow back in its place and sat back down, looking at Li Qing with blazing eyes.

Li Qing sighed, Shang Haibo was selling to himself like a treasure today, he thought he had changed his surname, but he didn't expect the roots to be buried here!

smiled awkwardly and said: "This time it's Fuzhou, but I saw Deng Peng, it's a serious matter, it's a big thing, besides, I took my personal guards and the Statistical Survey Department to echo the arrangements all the way, and when I entered Fuzhou, Jiang Heiniu responded again, what can happen?" ”

Shang Haibo snorted and said: "Dashuai, when you leave Dingzhou, you have to tell us first, just leave a message, and then there will be no shadow, besides, it's not that I don't believe Director Qingfeng, but her Survey and Statistics Department is mixed, in case you accidentally reveal the news and be known by someone with a heart, it will be a great thing, besides, if you want to see Deng Peng, you can come to Fuzhou secretly like him, even if you want to show your thirst for talent and value him, you don't have to go to the unexpected place in person." ”

"Well, this one!" Li Qing knew that Shang Haibo was right, but he was so ruthless by a subordinate that he felt very embarrassed. His face couldn't help but flush slightly.

Shang Haibo saw Li Qing's face, and also knew that the time had come, and said that the convenience was extremely opposite, "Dashuai, you are the day of our Dingzhou, and we rely on Dingzhou, now Dingzhou is steaming, and your command is full of talents, but these people are gathered together because of you, with you, we are a monolith, without you, I am afraid it will be full of holes, each of our subordinates hopes that Dashuai can take care of himself!" ”

Li Qing nodded, Shang Haibo said reasonably, although he didn't like it, but as the saying goes, good medicine is good for disease, and loyalty is good for action, and his subordinates, only Shang Haibo dares to talk to him like this, which is why he thinks highly of him, Lu Yiming can pass people, but it is too roundabout, Xu Yunfeng is loyal, but he is not as talented as them, Qingfeng is talented, but only his own words are followed, sometimes he knows that he has done wrong, and he will not raise objections, not to mention others such as Wang Qinian and others, They are all guys who point to the east and the west. But Lu Dalin was hindered by his identity, so he couldn't say anything to himself.

"Mr. Shang, I know about this, it's my fault, and I will definitely not do it again in the future. I will keep in mind the words of the gentleman! Li Qing solemnly bowed his hand to Shang Haibo.

Shang Haibo didn't dare to accept this salute, bent down on one knee, and said shortly: "The handsome can accept it, it is the blessing of our courtiers, and it is also the blessing of our Dingzhou!" ”

Li Qing laughed and pulled Shang Haibo up, patted the carriage, and said, "Look, look, it's this carriage, it's this carriage, it's the one that has made us so far, oh, by the way, is the number of my carriage?" ”

Shang Haibo shook his head, "This car is not numbered, and your car cannot be numbered either!" This is for safety reasons, and as you can see, the car looks like a regular carriage from the outside! ”

"Well, that's okay, then I told you before, after building it, I'll send the car numbered one to Qingfeng, haven't you forgotten?" Li Qingdao.

This time it was really the pot that didn't open the pot, Shang Haibo didn't think about it, and said directly: "No!" ”

"Why?" Li Qing was also a little unhappy, I didn't say anything when you told me so much before, and I apologized to you at the end, but didn't I tell you about this earlier, why didn't you give me any face?

Shang Haibo saw that Li Qing was already a little annoyed, if it was something else, he could give in, but this thing would never work, "Dashuai, you gave the No. 1 car to Qingfeng, dare to ask him that the princess of Allure City has passed the door and wants the No. 1 car, what should you do?" ”

"This ......" Li Qing couldn't help but be stunned, "Isn't it just a carriage, as for it?" ”

Shang Haibo shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Dashuai, this is not just a car!" ”
