"Is this Fort Yan'an?"

In the afternoon of the next day, the black four-wheeled carriage of the Zhong family appeared at the entrance of the fort gate of Liuhe Town after the renaming, Zhong Hongzhang opened the window of the carriage and looked at the brand-new dock fort in front of him.

——The cyan fort wall is more than four zhang high, it is already a luxury configuration for a town, the high fort wall is built under a huge piece of bluestone, and there are large pieces of blue bricks on it, which are tightly fitted, and the high fort wall looks very solid, at the same time, the fort wall has dense arrow stacks and shooting holes, every 100 meters, there is an arrow tower, which looks full of deterrence, this broad daylight, above the castle wall, you can also see a team of uniformed guards patrolling, and on the top of the doorway is a stone plaque, which is three golden characters- Fort Yan'an!

There are two teams of guards at the entrance, but the guards are only to maintain order, and everyone is very free to enter and exit the fort.

"The specifications and settings of the fort wall of this Yan'an Fort have surpassed the county seat of Qinghe County, just like the barracks of the border village, like this dock fort, as long as there are enough soldiers to defend it, even tens of thousands of people may not be able to attack it!" Zhong Hongzhang said, and then turned his head to look at the shopkeeper He who was also sitting in the car, "I heard that the manufacturing bureau located in Huangling County is the same, and it looks like a strong barrier outside......

"The second master and Miss Ruolan can also go to the manufacturing bureau to take a look if they have time this time, the manufacturing bureau has returned to Ganzhou to take over the manufacturing bureau since Yan Liqiang returned to Ganzhou, and it has been constantly rebuilding and expanding, the speed is not slow, this year or so, the manufacturing bureau has changed, if the fort wall defense here is comparable to the camp of the army, the manufacturing bureau is simply a boulder fortress, the fort wall on the periphery of the manufacturing bureau is more than five zhang high, and the fort wall in the inner core area is as high as more than ten zhang, which is surrounded by many towers, many workshops are set up separately, and cooperate with each other, the manufacturing bureau calls the workshop a factory, I heard that there are also a lot of powerful organs arranged, and the internal guards are no less than the deep palace compoundIf it weren't for the people of the Manufacturing Bureau who were blindly breaking in it, let any master go in, the flesh and blood would be vulnerable in front of those steel organs, just half a month ago, an underworld bandit named Nine-Tailed Cat wanted by the imperial court quietly broke into the Manufacturing Bureau at night, I heard that I wanted to find out the secret of manufacturing springs in the Manufacturing Bureau, but the nine-tailed cat was already a master of the Great Martial Arts Division, but after entering the Manufacturing Bureau, I didn't know what I had experienced, but I was carried out the next day, with at least hundreds of holes in my body, and most of the bones in my body were broken, and the manufacturing bureau did not lose half of its manpower......"

There are two sets of soft stools with leather backrests in the carriage of this four-wheeled carriage, which can easily sit down four or five people, and the shopkeeper He of Datong Money Village sat alone on the soft bench at the front of the carriage, facing Zhong Hongzhang and Zhong Ruolan to say this, but he did not feel crowded.

"That manufacturing bureau is the Yan family's money bag, Yan Liqiang will naturally take a fancy to it, everyone says that Yan Liqiang's skills can be compared with Zhang Yourong, he arranged some organs in the manufacturing bureau, it is normal, the so-called masters, it is not invulnerable, water and fire are invulnerable, if a person falls in a passage, thousands of arrows in all directions pierce the heart, no matter what master you are, there is only a dead end, I think after this incident, those who dare to fight the idea of the manufacturing bureau will have to converge a lot......" Zhong Hongzhang nodded and said.

"That's true, after the nine-tailed cat incident, most of the foreign dazzling characters in Pingxi City have disappeared......"

"Second uncle, don't you think that Yan Liqiang has made Yan Anbao and the Manufacturing Bureau impregnable, maybe he is worried about something?" Zhong Ruolan looked at the lively scene outside the window, and suddenly said.

"Oh, why did Ruolan say this......"

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of saying!" Zhong Ruolan smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming, so that Shopkeeper He hurriedly lowered his eyes, not daring to look more, "What does a person do, there must be a reason, Yan Liqiang made this Yan Anbao like this, it won't be a whim, there is too much money and nowhere to spend it......"

"Well, let's take a look at this Yan'an Fort, is the wool that the Yan family buys everywhere also in Yan'an Fort?" Zhong Hongzhang asked the shopkeeper He.

"Yes, in a warehouse by the Yan'anbao River, there are guards at all times, second master, you see, the car is the wool pulled into Yan'anbao......" He said, pointing out the window, Zhong Hongzhang and Zhong Ruolan looked over, and saw a four-wheeled carriage pulled by an old ox, with more than a dozen bulging sacks piled up high, from the gap in the opening of the sack, you can also see piles of wool, a handlebar, is driving the car, towards the entrance of the doorway.

While a few people were talking, the carriage had already driven into the town, and the door hole was facing a circular square in the town, and three wide streets extended from the left and right sides of the square and in front of them.

"Why is this town so lively, I think the county seat of Qinghe County is probably just so ......"

"There are two big markets in this town that have set up the eaves, bright and clean, the sun can't shine, the rain can't get wet, the Yan family divides many stalls in the two markets, and provides them for free to people to set up stalls, in addition to the people in the town, those who do small business in the surrounding towns and villages, those craftsmen, who want to catch up with the market to buy and sell things, are willing to come here to do business and buy things, plus Yan Liqiang is now too famous, many outsiders want to see what the hometown of the first archery powerhouse in the northwest looks like, and then buy a little sword from the Yan family's blacksmith workshop, iron gourd and other things to bring back, this Yan Anbao, there are more and more people, business transactions in all walks of life are getting easier and better!"

The Zhong family's black carriage went around the town, looked around, and then went around to the Yan family's mansion, and then the shopkeeper He handed over the Zhong family's greetings.

......

When the people of the Zhong family came to Yan'an Fort, Yan Liqiang was in the archery club, with the scorching sun on his head, and his eyes looked at the hundreds of students of the archery club on the horse farm without blinking, while riding on the rhinosaurus horse and firing the bow, Yan Liqiang's roaring sound resounded throughout the horse farm......

"Control the horse with your legs, throw, when you use the charge formation, the people in the first row can shoot directly, and the people behind can only shoot, you don't have to worry about not shooting the target, as long as the arrow can cover the area where the target is located, the most important thing is to unify the rhythm of the throw, not sparsely pulling, the arrow should be shot like a wave of falling raindrops, when you take the bow and ride on the horse, you must think of yourself as a wolf, a group of wild wolves, the war bow and arrow in your hand are your teeth and claws, don't be reluctant to give up the arrow, the arrow is a few copper plates, how many you want, and your life is more than a few copper plates, riding a rhinosaurus horse is to make you run faster than the enemy, so that the enemy can't catch up with you, holding a war bow is so that you can hit others and others can't hit you, remember, speed is your life, when you stop is when you are going to die......"

In Yan Liqiang's roar, the iron hooves of the rhinosaurus horse roared, 500 longbows were pulled away on the horse, and then a rain of arrows flew out, in a sneer, a hundred meters away from the ground with two or three hundred humanoid targets pierced with straw, instantly fell a large piece, 500 rhinosaurus horses in a beautiful maneuver in the run, spared from both sides of the scarecrow, and then there was a bowstring vibration, the rest of the scarecrow that had not yet fallen, and most of it fell down at once, only a few lonely scarecrows were still standing on the ground, and when the bowstring sounded for the third time, all the scarecrows fell, and there was only a dense array of arrows on the ground......

The 500 men finished their training and immediately dismounted, and then the next group of 500 men mounted their horses again and began to charge around the scarecrow, stretching their bows and ......

"That's right, this training has not been around for less than a year, and it is already commendable that these students can practice the art of combining archery and horse you taught to this extent......" Shi Changfeng watched from the side and nodded lightly, "It's just that I feel that there is still something missing......

"It's almost bloody!" Yan Liqiang squinted his eyes and watched the 500 cavalry galloping on the dusty horse field, his tone was calm, "I don't see blood, no matter how well I practice with a scarecrow here, no matter how well I fight with the arrow shaft wrapped in the cloth, there is always a lack of brave and elite energy!"

Shi Changfeng turned his head and glanced at Yan Liqiang, with his understanding of Yan Liqiang, since Yan Liqiang said this, I am afraid that something is already brewing in his heart.

At this moment, a falcon flew from the sky, and as soon as one of the guards beside Yan Liqiang raised his handguard, the falcon landed on the guard's arm, and the guard untied a copper pipe from the falcon's foot and handed it to Yan Liqiang.

Yan Liqiang took the copper pipe, pulled out the sealing wax on it, and took out the note inside, and the expression on his face suddenly became strange.

"Who is looking for you at home, and you can let the family use the letter falcon to deliver news, it seems that it is not an ordinary person!" Shi Changfeng asked.

"It's Zhong Hongzhang, the second leader of the Lanzhou Zhong family, who is here!" Yan Liqiang took a deep breath and put the note away, "I'll give it to President Shi here, I'll go back and ......"
