Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Last Warmth
Both Du Ming and Wang Mingchong treated the Wen clan with great courtesy, and Lin Yang was even rewarded by Du Ming with a thousand taels of silver as a reward for the research and development of the cloud pattern steel shield. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And just when the atmosphere of everyone was gradually rising, Wang Mingchong suddenly said quietly:
"Look at our strongest defensive shield in Izumo, General Du, Ming Chong also has something here, which can be called an offensive weapon on the battlefield, please take a look. ”
Well?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and saw Wang Mingchong take out a shiny short crossbow and hand it to Du Ming.
Du Ming's eyes lit up suddenly.
After many years in the army, he saw at a glance the extraordinary nature of this Xuanbing short crossbow, and waved his hand on the spot to ask the sergeant outside to send a standard round shield used by the current defense forces.
Syllable.
As soon as the bowstring sounded, the round shield was directly shot through it, and the power was so strong that the faces of Wen Dingtian and the others changed slightly.
What a powerful crossbow bolt!!
"Lord Wang, who made this short crossbow!" Du Ming's expression was extremely excited.
He didn't expect to be able to see two sharp weapons in the army today, two things one attack and one defense, if it can be installed in large quantities, it will definitely greatly increase the combat power of the Izumo army.
Next to him, Wang Mingchong smiled indifferently: "This is the sample that the Chen family handed over to the Internal Affairs Office a few days ago, and only a hundred have been produced so far, and I just brought it to General Du today to taste, to see if it can meet the needs of our city guards." ”
"The Chen family?"
Du Ming is also a shrewd and experienced person, hearing that the Chen family suddenly glanced at Wen Dingtian next to him, but his position is always to improve the combat power of the army first, if this short crossbow can really be mature and mass-produced, then no matter who it is, he will not hesitate to place an order to purchase.
"Come on, prepare a dummy, arrange for someone to test the crossbow. ”
Du Ming was about to give an order, when he heard Wang Mingchong next to him add again:
"General Du, this crossbow has a wonderful point, that is, its crossbow arrow is smeared with a powerful anesthetic, the effect is wonderful, not only can it be used to capture the enemy alive on the battlefield, but also can be used to hunt demon beasts, not as good as us......"
"So interesting?" Du Ming was obviously curious about this new type of equipment, and laughed loudly: "Ha, what's so difficult about this, my military camp is less than ten miles away from Qingyun Mountain, after we have dinner at noon, we will go to Qingyun Mountain in the afternoon to hunt demon beasts, and have a good look at the power of this short crossbow!"
Hunt?
Wen Dingtian and Lin Yang glanced at each other and frowned slightly.
Things seem to have changed a bit......
Wen Qingqing next to him looked excited, and seemed to be full of interest in hunting.
Du Ming waved his hand and arranged it properly, the luncheon in the military camp at noon was very simple, and after eating, everyone was ready to go to the hunting ground of Qingyun Mountain.
Wen Dingtian naturally couldn't refuse this hunting trip, the decades-long friendship between him and Du Ming was here, and the entire city defense army had more than a thousand elite soldiers with him, and safety was not a problem at all, which made Wen Dingtian and Lin Yang unable to find any fault at all.
But there was a feeling of uneasiness that began to rise in Lin Yang's heart.
It stands to reason that neither Du Ming nor the Lord of the Internal Affairs Mansion have any reason to oppose the Wen family, but although everything today is logical, it is too coincidental......
His gaze was far away on Qingyun Mountain, in that green mountain forest, was there an unpredictable danger waiting for him?
Lin Yang touched the Sumeru ring on his finger, with a thick solemnity on his face, and rode his horse through the crowd.
Smack.
He was slapped on the back.
Lin Yang was so clever that he almost bounced off his horse, he was thinking about things too much just now, but he didn't expect Wen Qingqing's sneering laughter from behind:
"Ha! Lin Yi, you will also have such a flustered time?"
Your sister!
Lin Yang looked at this heartless little girl speechlessly.
"Hey, why are you so nervous, you won't be afraid to go to the mountain, right? Hehe, it's okay, Miss Ben will protect you later, I'm very familiar with this Qingyun Mountain!"
Joke!
Lin Yangxin said that when he was collecting medicine and looking for materials in Qingyun Mountain before, he stayed in it for five days, and he was about to count how many monkeys there were on the periphery of Qingyun Mountain, and he still needs your cute girl to protect him?
However, he naturally didn't have anything to do with Wen Qingqing, and said on the surface: "Then trouble the eldest lady and others will take care of me more." ”
But what he thought in his heart was: I wish everything was too much of his heart......
......
About half an hour later, Du Ming led a thousand soldiers of the city defense army and the Wen clan to the jungle on the outskirts of Qingyun Mountain.
This place was very familiar to Du Ming, and the 1,000 sergeants quickly lined up and began to clear the field, and after the meal time, a temporary camp was set up, and the personnel involved in the hunt were all ready.
This hunt was mainly to test the power and anesthetic effect of the short crossbows brought by Wang Mingchong, Du Ming carefully selected nearly a hundred elite warriors to be equipped with a short crossbow each, and at this time, these iron-blooded soldiers were like straight javelins, promoted to stand in front of Du Ming.
"Everyone obeys the order, limited to two hours, and when the time comes, they will return here to gather, and they can only hunt peripheral prey, not deep!
Du Ming didn't talk nonsense, and directly gave an order, and dozens of soldiers let out a soft roar in unison, and rushed into the jungle in groups.
Then Du Ming smiled at Wen Dingtian and Wang Mingchong next to him: "What, Patriarch Wen and Lord Wang are interested in playing with me?"
"Wang Mou has heard General Du's miraculous achievements for a long time, and today he can finally open his eyes. Wang Mingchong smiled extremely easily, as if this Qingyun Mountain was really as safe as his back garden.
Wen Dingtian must also follow the 'entertainment': "Wen should accompany General Du to have fun!"
Du Ming was extremely interested, and suddenly thought of Lin Yang again, and called: "Elder Lin Yi, young hero, you must be extraordinary, and let me see how your archery skills are?"
Lin Yang refused with a smile: "Lin Yi is still waiting in the camp for the general to return with a good harvest." ”
"Haha, okay!!" Du Ming didn't have the slightest scruple, and with a hearty smile, he pulled Wen Dingtian and some soldiers deep into the jungle.
Before leaving, Wen Dingtian took away the two innate elders and some Wen Mansion guards, and at the same time, Lin Yang and Tang Hong responded at the camp, and all the explanations and instructions were in the midst of speech.
Just as Du Ming and the others had not walked far in front of them, Wen Qingqing jumped up:
"Lin Yi, let's go, go hunting!"
Save it, miss.
Lin Yang decisively shook his head and refused.
At this moment, there are more than sixty guards left in the camp by the Wen family, plus Tang Hong and another innate elder named Liu Qing, which can barely be regarded as a strong fighting force.
The city defense army had more than 500 people scattered around the camp, and Du Ming even left four adjutant generals of the innate realm to guard it to ensure the safety of the camp.
Staying in the camp, Lin Yang could barely feel at ease, and it was absolutely impossible for him to accompany such an aunt and grandmother out hunting at this time.
"Hmph, that's boring. ”
Wen Qingqing seemed to be accustomed to Lin Yang's tepid attitude, and was about to leave the camp directly with Yun'er and more than a dozen Wen Mansion guards, Lin Yang wanted to stop him, but Elder Tang Hong next to him came over and said with a smile:
"Let's follow Miss, don't go too far......" At the same time, the old man of the Wen Mansion whispered in Lin Yang's ear: "If you don't obey him, maybe this camp will be overturned." ”
Next to him, there was a congenital master lieutenant general of the city defense army laughing loudly: "Haha, Elder Lin is so careful at a young age, this neighborhood has been cleared by us I don't know how many times, and there is not even a meat-eating earth dog left, Miss Wen can rest assured to play!"
"That's it, Lin Yi, why are you so timid today!!" Wen Qingqing pouted, and ran over to pull Lin Yang out for the second time.
Alas......
"Then you are not allowed to leave the camp for more than five miles. ”
Lin Yang groaned and gave the safest distance.
If the distance of five miles is five miles, with the level of these soldiers in the camp, it will naturally be instantaneous, and with some of the means prepared in the Qiankun Ring, plus Elder Tang Hong, he should be able to ensure safety......
"Okay, why are you more verbose than my father, let's go!"
Wen Qingqing urged again and again, and finally Lin Yang took Tang Hong and Liu Qing, two elders, and the remaining more than sixty Wen Mansion guards into this dense jungle.
What Lin Yang and the others didn't notice at all was that just a mile away from the camp, there was a figure covered in strange colors that had been quietly crawling.
When this figure saw Lin Yang and the others leaving the camp, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, as if a ferocious hungry wolf saw a lamb leaving the circle:
"Hmph, these Wen family fools actually came out on their own, okay, it saved us effort......"
After saying that, the figure of this person disappeared in place with a bang, and the speed was terrifying.
......
"Giggles, Lin Yi, come on, you see I shot again!"
Over there, Wen Qingqing was happy like a little hare that had opened the cage, and ran towards the deer he had just shot, while still calling Lin Yi in his mouth.
Not far away, Tang Hong and Liu Qing, the two elders of the Wen family, looked at Lin Yi walking towards Wen Qingqing with a wry smile, Tang Hong smiled and touched Elder Liu Qing's shoulder:
"Elder Liu, look, is it possible for this Elder Lin to become the son-in-law of the Wen family......
"Huh. This Elder Liu Qing is older than Tang Hong, but his strength is only at the level of the early stage of the innate stage, he smiled and said: "Young man, it is natural to feel it when you are together, the old man watched the young lady grow up, and she was afraid that she had already put Elder Lin in it......"
Hehehe.
The two elders, along with the Wen family guards behind them, all looked at Lin Yang and Wen Qingqing with smiling expressions.
For a while, everyone was reminded of the warmth and softness in their hearts by the pair of golden boys and girls.
But disaster suddenly struck at this extremely warm moment.
