Chapter 171: Meetings
Four days have passed in the blink of an eye, of course, this is a very short thing for Zhong Leyuan, the fruits in the imperial capital have increased her appetite, and she is even willing not to eat meat and beer, and she has to eat a lot of apples, pineapples and raw pears, and the sadness of a while ago is gone, it is said that when people are under great pressure, they will choose to eat to vent, probably this is the reason.

As for Mao Xiyu, I don't know why during this time, it seems that I have begun to study hard for card making, and a production is a whole day, I don't know what it looks like to be tired, and the best materials used, the purchase of high-quality raw materials, the fourth-grade ink made of ground toner, such a bottle can be sold in the market for at least forty gold coins a bottle, which is a high-priced product, the card material is a silver card, I don't know what is busy drawing every day, but one thing is certain, it must be a four-grade card, And it's the more difficult kind.
Of course, for Zhang Taiyan, this is a painful four days, every day she has to run errands or be dragged around by Zhong Leyuan, and that's okay, but every time her appetite soars, Zhang Taiyan has to accept all kinds of gossip from those aunts. In short, in the past few days, Zhang Taiyan's physique or card-making skills have increased, but from the mental level, he has increased a lot of defense.
"Commander, don't you think we're going to do something this afternoon?"
"Are you going to eat something delicious?" Zhong Leyuan eats fruits and eats radiant.
"No, Commander, we're going to a military meeting this afternoon."
"Oh, that's it, don't worry about it yet, let's go play before noon."
Zhang Taiyan covered his forehead, the military commander has eaten too cruelly in the past few days, and he has eaten almost twenty gold coins a day, which is his own food money for ten days. Zhang Taiyan sighed, and then said to the commander, "Shouldn't we get some equipment or something, such as light armor, that kind of armor has almost no effect on your speed." ”
Zhong Leyuan glanced at Zhang Taiyan and said, "I was used to wearing armor. ”
"Why wear armor, it will affect your speed."
"But it can make up for my lack of defense, and in addition, I like the thrill of punching to the flesh and not dodging rather than dodging."
Zhang Taiyan covered his head, now he can't understand how she survived until now, the special point of the wind system is speed, not attack power, but now his fighting habits obviously violate common sense, this is simply like obliterating his own advantages to forcibly strengthen his disadvantages.
"Commander, then before the afternoon, we need to get some equipment."
Hippolyta thought for a moment and said, "You're right, let's arm ourselves first." ”
Zhang Taiyan felt that the army commander had opened up for a moment.
However, half an hour later, Zhang Taiyan found out that this was just his wishful thinking, and the commander was holding a large amount of fruit in his hand, eating and walking.
"Commander, let's wait a while before eating."
Zhong Leyuan took a bite of the apple, and then reluctantly said to Zhang Taiyan, "What are you going to do now?" ”
"What? Buying equipment, of course! It's about to be a contest! What should I do if I lose back? ”
"Let me tell you, according to the traditional tone of the military department, those who win are rewarded, but the reward is not taken for nothing, and they have to be sent to do very troublesome things, and the best outcome is to be in the middle of the position, which is the best."
"But we want a better ranking after all, at least eighth, how do you feel?"
Zhong Leyuan pinched his chin, and then said to Zhang Taiyan: "Good proposal, eighth place is indeed okay, then let's fight for eighth place." ”
Zhang Taiyan breathed a sigh of relief and then tried again and said, "How about choosing light armor?" ”
"No, I want armor, preferably as heavy as possible."
Stainless steel armor, forty gold coins. Zhong Leyuan wore it on his body with satisfaction, and while admiring the craftsmanship of the imperial capital, it was the strongest in the country, and the armor on his body was hard and heavy enough. The clerk looked at them with a hint of weirdness, after all, she had bought an antique item that had been in the store for thirty years and had not been purchased.
Zhang Taiyan felt that his nerves were already much bigger, and then he chose a very popular pair of carbon fiber armor, which had very good air permeability.
"Anyway, don't you pick a spare weapon or something?"
Zhang Taiyan said: "I have my rapier, he is very compatible with my flowing water fighting spirit, and I still have a few daggers on my body, if necessary, use daggers to fight." ”
"Okay, but I'll tell you one thing first, remember not to completely expose your strength."
Zhang Taiyan nodded, he is the best at this kind of thing.
In the afternoon, he stepped through the door of the Imperial Military Headquarters Chamber.
When Zhang Taiyan walked in, he found that many people had already started to discuss in whispers, almost all of them were wearing gorgeous armor and long swords, but most of them were courteous. Then Zhang Taiyan saw an acquaintance, Colonel MacArthur, no, he is now the commander of the border guards of the Northern Front, and the original General Pallas was seriously wounded, so he is now preparing to hand over, and it is possible that this battle is to pick out a replacement. When Zhang Taiyan stepped forward to say hello. Zhong Leyuan stopped Zhang Taiyan.
"What do you want to do?"
"It's just that I saw an acquaintance, so I wanted to say hello."
"Don't mess around, stand next to me honestly."
Zhang Taiyan nodded, and then stood behind her, in fact, it is best to let Mao Xiyu come on this occasion, but this little fox has been drawing cards obsessively during this time, so he is accompanying him to the meeting at the moment.
"Let's go into the conference room." A well-dressed waiter said to the crowd and led them to the conference room.
Zhang Taiyan covered his face with a hood, and the entourage around him did so, so he had to follow suit. The commanders took their seats in turn, and the circular seating order was arranged around the center, so that no matter which angle you could see, the center of the podium and the six positions behind the podium could be clearly seen.
The commanders sat down in turn, and their attendants stood to the right of the commander.
The old man wearing countless medals came out and stood on the podium, and then the six generals took their seats.
The old man cleared his throat and said, "Good afternoon, everyone. I am Imperial Marshal Gaia. ”
The commanders immediately stood up and bowed to him.
"Sit down, folks, we're going to have a meeting now."
The crowd sat in chairs. Look at Lord Marshal.
Gaia said, "Now, you should know that the northern part of our empire has always had a great problem, the barbarians, but because almost a hundred years ago we waged the worst battle with the barbarians, and used our strong vitality to force the barbarians to sign a pact that forced them not to cross the border in the future, and the two are safe. ”
The marshal paused and continued: "But just a few months ago, the barbarians tore their faces and discharged three barbarian warriors with a golden fighting spirit level to break through the northern defense line. ”
There was a commotion in the crowd, and the gold was vindictive? What is the concept? As long as a golden warrior is angry, then there is no province left. Now there are three golden vindictives on the opposite side to ignore, what does it mean? Whoever goes up is tantamount to going to God to report.
"Therefore, in order to fight against those barbarians from the north, we have decided to gather all of you and hold a jousting tournament in the arena tomorrow for half a month. The top three will become the generals and left and right vanguards of this northern crusade. ”
The captains began to think about how to lose. (To be continued.) )
