At the same time, a picture appeared in Song Yingxing's mind, one by one wooden sticks were inserted into the head of the spear, and the two were connected, that is, a spear. Or assemble each other to form a solid ladder, and I can't help but sigh secretly: "The original intention of this kind of ladder I made was only for defense, but Li Zicheng's suggestion turned it into a sharp weapon for both offense and defense, giving full play to the role of wooden sticks." ”

In a trance, Song Yingxing had an impulse to sigh at Li Zicheng's talent in mechanics, and wanted to accept him as an apprentice and pass on the technique.

However, Song Yingxing couldn't have imagined that Li Zicheng's small inventions were purely plagiarized and brazenly plagiarized, so how could he have any talent at all?

Li Guo's reaction was also very fast, and he thought of more, and couldn't help but think: "Uncle, this method is too similar to installing a knife on a bird's gun, both of which increase the attack power of soldiers." Whether it is a wooden stick or a bird's gun, as long as it is equipped with a knife, it is equivalent to a spear, and as long as the soldiers cooperate with each other properly, it will be very effective against cavalry! ”

Li Zicheng was also very satisfied, and when he heard Li Guo's excited words, he added: "Yes, as long as the two soldiers holding spears trust each other, one is responsible for attacking the war horse with the spear, and the other is blocking the cavalry's slash, they can disintegrate the advantage of the cavalry and reverse the unfavorable situation of the infantry." ”

While speaking, Li Zicheng was very proud, snorted coldly in his heart, and said secretly: "What Qing cavalry?" Without the speed blessing of the war horse, once you fight in close combat, you are a tiger with teeth pulled out, how can you fight with the infantry of the Han people? Manchurian Tartars, you wait, it's better to pray to God and don't meet my Li Jiajun. Otherwise, I will let you have no return, and I will kill you as many cavalry as you come! ”

At this moment, Song Yingxing's face was embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "Boss, can I ask you for someone and go to Mawei Mountain in a few days?" ”

Immediately, Li Zicheng woke up from his trance, looked puzzled, and asked puzzledly: "Want someone?" Of course you can! But why did you postpone for two days before you were willing to enter the mountain? ”

Of course, Song Yingxing knew the current situation, it was very urgent, and he was racing against time to store grain and salary in Mabit Mountain, but when he was about to answer, he saw Li Zicheng and said: "Mr. Song, you also know that the official army may encircle and suppress the Li family army in Yuzhong County at any time, and there is not much time left for us. ”

The words that came to his mouth were swallowed back immediately, and although Song Yingxing's face was ashamed, he did not immediately agree to go to Mabitshan.

Seeing this situation, Li Zicheng knew that Song Yingxing must have wanted to delay his trip to Mabit Mountain for two days because of personal matters. And it should be important. Otherwise, Song Yingxing would not have dropped the chain at this stall.

Although Li Zicheng was reluctant to make it difficult for others, the matter of Ma Zhishan was very important, and the time was very urgent, so he was unwilling to easily agree to Song Yingxing's request. After all, this is a large amount of money, and the lives of many people are at stake.

For a while, the two were at such a stalemate, and neither of them was willing to take a step back.

At this moment, Li Guo, as a third person, can understand his uncle's worries and concerns. also knows that if Song Yingxing didn't have something very important, he wouldn't have temporarily retreated at this time, and he had to wait two days before going to Mabitshan.

Li Guo also understands that at this moment, someone must take a step back first. Otherwise, how long will this stalemate? However, Li Guo also knows that the two of them insist on doing so much, and they have their own reasons, and they can't easily comply.

Thinking of this, Li Guo couldn't help but have a headache, and he had no good solution. Then, suddenly, a bright light flashed in Li Guo's mind, stabilized his thoughts, and said slowly: "That, Mr. Song, look at what you said seriously, solemnly, who do you want from your uncle, and let you attach so much importance to it?" ”

Song Yingxing's expression was obviously not so stiff, and in the unexpected eyes of the two, he suddenly cast a grateful look at Li Zicheng, and then said slowly: "Captain Li, it's like this, when I returned in the evening, I saw a few patrolmen carrying back a ragged person. To tell you the truth, that person is my friend, named Xu Xiake. ”

Hearing this, Li Guo couldn't help but be stunned, and said in disbelief: "No~?" How could it be so coincidental? Is it the sloppy man that the uncle asked people to carry back, and invited Lang to heal? ”

Faced with a series of questions, Song Yingxing nodded very affirmatively, and replied in a deep voice: "Well, it's such a coincidence, that person is my friend Xu Xiake." ”

At this time, under Li Zicheng's calm face, his heart was not calm, he turned up the stormy waves, and thought of a lot, Xu Xiake is too familiar with this person, this is an absolute person, and there is a special introduction to the junior high school language.

Xu Xiake was not only a geographer in the late Ming Dynasty, he liked to travel the world, and he was also an astronomy enthusiast.

At this moment, Li Zicheng was excited, thinking of a lot, as long as he has Xu Xiake, it is equivalent to having a living map, not only familiar with the trend and geography of the mountains in the Guannai, but also well versed in the customs and customs of various places, several times traveled the world, all over the famous mountains and rivers.

Once he pulls up the team and formally confronts the Ming court, if he can't defeat the official army, he can hide in the mountains under the leadership of Xu Xiake and evade the pursuit of the official army. Having a Xu Xiake is more meaningful than having an army of 1,000 people.

Li Zicheng's heart was ecstatic, he couldn't hold back the excitement, his mind became more exquisite, he figured out one thing, understood why Song Yingxing insisted on staying, and couldn't help but ask with a red face: "That, Mr. Song, the reason why you want to stay is that you don't worry about your friend Xu Xiake and want to take care of him in Yuzhong City for a while?" ”

Song Yingxing, who was speaking, was stunned for a moment, and was poked in the heart, his expression was obviously a little embarrassed, the taste of being ashamed of being too selfish. However, Song Yingxing didn't hesitate much, and hurriedly replied: "Well, yes, boss." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Guo was stunned, no matter what, he couldn't imagine that Song Yingxing had to insist on staying for two days, but it was because of such a small matter. However, Li Guo's strange expression flashed away, and then he was suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Song, I don't understand, looking at your friend's appearance, he looks like a scholar, how did he fall to this?" Could it be that his family is in the middle of the road and is downcast here? ”

Song Yingxing's expression was very relaxed, and he didn't mean to be embarrassed at all, and immediately replied: "This friend of mine, although he is full of wealth and has read thousands of books, he is not interested in the imperial examination at all. ”

The tone was stunned, as if he had fallen into deep memories, as if he had thought of something funny, he couldn't help but feel funny, pursed his lips and continued: "Things like today, Xu Xiake often encountered, and he was so depressed that hunger and fainting are common things. It can be said that in order to travel the world, it has reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eating, and forgetting both things and me. Moreover, because he often goes in and out of the deep mountains and old forests, he sleeps in the open air, and he goes for a few months. So, when he came out, he looked very embarrassed, in tatters, and sloppy. ”

Li Guo was suddenly surprised, dumbfounded when he heard it, he had really never seen such a person. I like to travel to famous rivers and rivers, and I am almost unbelievable to be obsessed with it to such an extent.

At this time, Li Zicheng's heart let out a long breath of turbidity, knowing the reason why Song Yingxing postponed going to Mabitshan for two days, he also had an idea, and immediately persuaded sincerely: "Mr. Song, about Xu Xiake's situation, his subordinates have already reported to me, his body is fine, just malnutrition and overdraft, just take care of it for two days." ”

"Moreover, even if you stay in Yuzhong City and take care of it yourself, it will not help, and it will not change anything. It's better to go to Mabitshan first, and as soon as Mr. Xu wakes up, I will immediately send someone to tell you the news. ”

At this moment, Song Yingxing was obviously moved, and he didn't insist so much. Seeing this situation, Li Zicheng added another fire: "You can rest assured, with my special instructions, plus the nourishment of various shark fin bird's nests, Mr. Xu will be able to fully recover in less than three or five days." ”

Li Guo also reacted, and immediately added fuel to the fire: "Mr. Song, with my uncle's guarantee, don't you still believe it?" Or do you not believe in my uncle's character, will go back on his word, not keep his promise, and just prevaricate to deal with you? ”

After saying this, Li Guo immediately regretted it, and deeply despised himself, his uncle was definitely a hooligan, with no bottom line at all, let alone any character to talk about. Tearing up the promise, is it really possible to do such a thing, and there is no precedent for this kind of thing before?

The words have come to this, Song Yingxing was completely forced into a corner, what else can he say? What's more, his friend Xu Xiake was not only saved by Li Zicheng, but his future recovery will depend on others, and now it is difficult to refuse no matter what, so he can only agree against his will.

"Okay, boss, Xu Xiake will be handed over to you, and I will rush to Mabit Mountain early tomorrow morning. Help them to build a checkpoint and various mechanical devices to facilitate the future residence of the people. ”

Suddenly, a boulder that was pressing on Li Zicheng's heart was finally put down, and then he said heartily: "Okay, Mr. Song, don't worry about handing over Mr. Xu to me~!" When he wakes up, he will let you know as soon as he wakes up. From Yuzhong City to Mabit Mountain, it takes less than half a day to make a round trip. When the time comes, the two of you can also meet up for a short time. ”

Hearing this, Song Yingxing's heart was the greatest relief, and he immediately said gratefully: "Boss, I won't say more if I have any extra words, you can see my performance in the future." ”

Li Guo and Song Yingxing left, but Li Zicheng secretly planned in his heart, plotted, and thought about how to recruit Xu Xiake into his command? If it succeeds, it will be a great help, and the benefits are so great that it is difficult to put into words!
