"Breaking the City Cone" was handed over to Niu Ben to practice, Hu Mingjian still didn't want to practice this kind of chicken-like martial arts skills, as for what to cultivate, he had to plan carefully, the two of them hastily cleaned up and went to rest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, early in the morning, Hu Mingjian and Niu Ben were busy, since they received the order from the Yellow Turban Army, they had to do their best to finish it, even if it was not for the gold given by others, they also had to consider whether they would kill themselves and retaliate after they raised troops.

was busy until noon, and the iron armor also made a few collars, thanks to the Hu family's ancestral craft secret recipe, otherwise ordinary blacksmiths would not have such a fast speed.

"Brother Niu, rest first, let's go out to eat." Hu Mingjian said to Niu Ben, who was striking iron.

"Okay, come on." Niu Bentou didn't look back and said, "Wait for me to finish this piece." ”

Hu Mingjian didn't reply, and went to wash himself.

By the time Hu Mingjian tidied up his clothes, Niu Ben had already put down the hammer in his hand.

When the two of them left the blacksmith shop, Niu Ben asked, "Brother Hu, where are we going to find food today?" ”

Hu Mingjian thought for a while, "Yesterday I said hello to Zhang Shichang, who was guarding the West City Gate, and I wanted to invite them to dinner, and I just earned a lot of money yesterday, so let's just go together today." ”

Niu Ben nodded, agreeing to the proposal.

The two walked for a long time before they came to the barracks, the barracks in front of them were smoky and miasma, the gatekeepers twisted and crooked, swaying, seeing that someone was coming, they didn't come forward to stop them, only put a wine jar beside them, the wine in it had already been drunk, and it was a thick layer of copper coins, when Hu Mingjian and the two walked past him, they saw this person slowly move the wine jar with his feet, and some blocked Hu Mingjian's way.

Hu Mingjian smiled, took out more than a dozen copper coins, and threw them in the wine jar, the gatekeeper, his eyes seemed to be closed, heard the sound, nodded, and moved the wine jar back with his feet.

Entering the barracks, it is even more of a mess, this barracks covers an area of dozens of acres, it is lively like a market, all kinds of noises are noisy, spears and knives are scattered on the ground, you can see it everywhere, and even the smell of dung is coming from all directions.

Hu Mingjian and the others walked more than a dozen steps, and just happened to bump into a soldier who was guarding the west gate yesterday, and he led him to a separate barracks, and waited at the door of the barracks for a while before seeing Zhang Shichang running out neatly dressed.

"Brother Hu, why are you here?" Elder Zhang Shi asked Hu Mingjian from afar.

"Brother Zhang, didn't you say yesterday that I would invite my brothers to have a drink, just today!"

"I'll just say that Brother Hu won't break his promise, and those little cubs still don't believe it!" Zhang Shichang said with a smile.

"Then let's go, mellow!" Hu Mingjian also said to Zhang Shichang with a smile.

"Brother Hu, I still have to be tired, let you wait for a while, all my soldiers have to go, and I have to ask the tun chief for leave." Zhang Shichang was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, hurry up, I'm afraid it's time to pass over this day." Hu Mingjian nodded.

Zhang Shichang hurriedly ran back to the barracks, and Hu Mingjian and Niu Ben looked around in front of the camp gate.

This barracks seems to have an atmosphere that is out of place with the entire barracks, neat and clean, and there is no noise to be heard.

"Brother Niu, what do you think of this barracks?" Hu Mingjian asked Niu Ben in some surprise.

"I have long heard that there is a tun chief surnamed Cheng in our Moling County, who is strict in managing the troops, and his subordinates are not similar to other soldiers, and he has a great reputation, it is estimated that this is the barracks of the Cheng tun chief." Niu Ben was talking about the rumors he had heard from the county rangers.

Hu Mingjian nodded cautiously.

After a while, Zhang Shichang walked out with ten soldiers in cloth clothes.

On the way, Hu Mingjian also asked Zhang Shichang, "Brother Zhang, your barracks is not quite the same as others!" ”

Zhang Shichang smiled proudly, "This is the credit of our Cheng Tunchang." ”

It turned out that this Cheng Tun chief's name is Cheng Jie, and he is also very famous in Moling County, he governs the army rigorously, never disturbs the people, and does not join forces with other soldiers.

When he came to the mellow fragrance restaurant, a group of people happily drank wine, Niu Ben chatted with Zhang Shichang hotly, and Hu Mingjian threaded the needle on the side, but found out a lot of news.

Today, it is divided into thirteen states, each state has several counties and countries, each county has more than ten counties to dozens of counties, each county has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there is a commander to command all the soldiers and horses, and below the captain are dozens of commanders, each commander commands ten team leaders, each team is in command of ten chiefs, and each captain has two captains.

Zhang Shichang drunkenly patted Hu Mingjian's shoulder: "Brother Hu, let's just talk about our Moling County, there are as many as 20,000 or 30,000 troops on paper, but it is only on paper, even our Cheng Jietun Commander's subordinates have 20% of the soldiers and horses who eat empty salaries, not to mention the other Tun Commander's subordinates, the least is from 50%. ”

Zhang Shichang stretched out his big slap violently, and his five fingers were tried to separate themselves to show the certainty of his words.

"Brother Zhang, there are so many soldiers who eat empty salaries, what if something happens." Hu Mingjian was a little puzzled, more than fifty percent of the soldiers and horses were empty, and those who were officials were not afraid of accidents.

"If there is a rebellion, the imperial court will naturally dispatch border troops or let people from the family come with private soldiers to quell the rebellion, so that the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune will come, as for us, we just need to stick to the city." Zhang Shichang had a smile on his face, "Our brothers are bitter, we haven't paid a full salary for many years, even under Cheng Tunchang, we can only get ninety percent of the salary, which is already the highest in my Moling County." ”

The territory of the Han Empire in this game world is a hundred times larger than that of the Han Dynasty in history, and the population is also a hundred times larger than that of the Han Dynasty in history, so as to ensure that history will not change much in a short period of time under the condition of accepting 20 million players.

Hu Mingjian saw that Zhang Shichang was really drunk, so he asked the soldiers who came with him to carry him back to the barracks, while Hu Mingjian and Niu Ben walked on the street to dissipate their wine.

"Brother Hu, tell me honestly, is this batch of armor and blades we are making now for man-made reuse." After walking for a while, Niu Ben asked in a low voice.

Hu Mingjian didn't answer immediately, and was silent for a while before he said, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Niu Ben said sullenly: "I don't know, I just feel that this world is too aggrieved, and I want to destroy everything in front of me." ”

"There will be a chance, don't worry, wait a little longer!" Hu Mingjian whispered to Niu Ben, his voice getting lower and lower, "It's coming, it's going to be soon." ”

Back at the blacksmith shop, the two continued to start striking iron, as if the previous conversation had not happened, but Niu Ben became more and more serious about the cultivation of "Breaking the City Cone", and from time to time he went outside to contact the rangers in the county.

After another three days, the manpower and iron materials promised by Peng Tuo were already in place, and dozens of strong young men gathered around the blacksmith shop every day to pull bellows and strike iron, and the sound of tinkling did not stop every day, but fortunately, the blacksmith shop was in a remote area, but it did not attract attention, and the speed of casting was getting faster and faster.

After another half a month, it has entered the sixth year of the Great Han Guang and the sixth year of the lunar month, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the carbon price in the city is getting more and more expensive, but fortunately, the blacksmith shop has already stocked up on the shortage of carbon.

On this day, Hu Mingjian found the leader of the Yellow Turban Army and said: "Now that we have built a lot of armor, it's time to send a batch out, otherwise it will be inconvenient." ”

The leader of the Yellow Turban Army nodded and said, "What Mr. Hu said is that I will go out of the city to contact Fang Tianshi, so that the other side can be ready to accept it." ”

Hu Mingjian nodded slightly, didn't care about him, and went to clean up.

After lunch, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army hurriedly ran in from outside the house and said to Hu Mingjian: "It has been arranged, tomorrow at noon, I will hand over the goods at a cottage in the southern suburbs of the city, and I will take you there then." ”

These days, these young men in the yellow scarf admire Hu Mingjian's personality, never look down on them because of their low background, and also respect Niu Ben's force, so they are very polite to Hu Mingjian and the others.

Hu Mingjian nodded and let them go.

Early the next morning, the boys of the Yellow Turban Army arranged the carriage and began to pack the armor.

When Hu Mingjian saw that everything was ready, he greeted Niu Ben, and the two got into the carriage, with more than a dozen young men following on both sides, and the rest were still busy in the blacksmith shop.

Coming to the city gate, it happened to be Zhang Shichang's turn to guard the door, Hu Mingjian greeted Zhang Shichang with a smile, and the carriage did not stop, and walked directly through the city gate to the outside, Zhang Shichang and his soldiers did not care at all, but smiled and nodded to them.

Just as Hu Mingjian's motorteam left the city gate, a man in armor ran close to the city, looked at Hu Mingjian's motorcade from a distance, and looked at the ruts on the ground.

When Zhang Shichang saw the person coming, he said with a smile: "Team Zheng, you are really fated with this Hu brother, every time you come as soon as he leaves." ”

When the team saw Zhang Shichang's hippie smiling face, they didn't get angry, put aside Hu Mingjian's stubble, and began to train Zhang Shichang.

Hu Mingjian naturally didn't know what was happening behind him, and he didn't know that this Zhang Shichang helped him stop the catastrophe again.

The carriage was on the road, and Hu Mingjian said to Niu Ben: "When I arrive at the cottage in a while, everything depends on my color, although there will be no major incident, it is better just in case." ”

Niu Ben nodded cautiously.
