Chapter 157: Buying Armor

After skipping his embarrassed expression, Wu Sangao pretended to smile calmly and asked: "Si Yelang, if you really like armor, I can save you a set of mountain armor, iron and gilt copper armor, stainless steel armor, brass belly guards and silver handguards, these are all full sets, and they are majestic to wear."

"Really? Li Siye smiled and said: "This is good, I like to collect this kind of thing." ”

He immediately restrained his smile, and solemnly pointed to the two Hu girls beside him and asked Wu Sangao: "The two of them, don't you understand what we are saying?" ”

Wu Sangao looked in a trance, and shook his head ignorantly: "They are Kangju women, and they don't understand the official dialect of the Central Plains. ”

"Well, that's not what I want."

Wu Sangao replied with a smile: "I can also get five sets and six sets." ”

Li Siye raised two fingers and shook them in front of him: "I want one hundred and twenty-three sets of armor." ”

"What do you want so much armor for!"

Wu Senjun was so shocked that he got up from the Hu bed, and the Hu girl who was snuggled next to him was unguarded, and was pushed to the ground by him, making a complaining hum.

"I'll tell you the truth, most of my armor is old and rusty, damaged and lost, I need to purchase a new batch of armor, if it is reported to the Metropolitan Protectorate, I don't know if it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, so I came to you."

"Aren't you crazy?" Wu Sangao stared at him in disbelief: "The Green Ridge guards that kind of broken place, since the opening of the garrison city, the soldiers have never been on the battlefield, instead of buying armor for them, it is better to buy them some wine and meat, these people still accept your affection." ”

Li Siye snorted and said: "What are you talking about, do I, Li Siye, need someone to admit it?" The matter of purchasing armor is urgent, although they have not been on the battlefield before, it does not mean that they will not go to the battlefield in the future. ”

"But you're asking for too much! Eight sets of ten sets are fine, one hundred and twenty-three sets, this, this and this ......"

"Don't worry, I will buy these armors at full price, and I won't let you lose a child, you, Anxi Cangcao, are qualified to use funds to buy armor from the Shaofu Supervision and Jiafang Bureau, I gave you the money, and you can buy it again."

"It's not about money! If it's a knife or a gun, it's okay to say, but every piece of armor has been put into storage, and you suddenly take away one hundred and twenty sets of armor. In case of a whim one day, I want to check the treasury, and losing a set is enough for my head to move! ”

"I'll bring you the money in advance, and you can supplement it to the Jiafang Department as soon as possible, and there won't be much mistake."

Wu Sangao said with some hesitation: "Should I explain this matter to Du Hu first?" ”

"If you need to find a description of Duhu, I can just find Duhu, why should I look for you? I only want to go through you, my third brother, and I hope you can keep it a secret for me. ”

At this point, Wu Sangao can more or less understand Li Siye's motives and situation, it must be that the gang of soldiers who were captured by the Green Ridge have lost all their armor, and at the beginning of Li Siye's tenure, he took over the mess of his predecessor, and he couldn't bear to resort to military law for his subordinates, so he thought of buying armor.

It's just that he didn't understand what Li Siye meant at all, this Li Shou capture envoy not only wanted to help his subordinates make up all the armor, but also equip them with high-grade armor to give them the strongest protection in the Anxi army.

This kind of thinking of his is incomprehensible to people like Wu Sangao.

Wu Sangao gritted his teeth, tugged at the short beard on his chin and said, "Okay, brother will sacrifice his life to help you today!" ”

……

The location of the Kuracao Mansion is backed by the main hall of the main courtyard of the Metropolitan Palace, and if you come to Yao Tougo, you only need to climb to the second floor of the palace hall and look north from the window, and you can see the upcoming deeds in the courtyard of the treasury.

When Wu Sangao led Li Siye and his party to the courtyard, he was also quite panicked, so he specially arranged a subordinate to monitor the movements on the upper floor of the Duhu Mansion.

The armor warehouse is located in a specific courtyard, covering a very large area, and the warehouses are all made of wood, a bit like a modern workshop.

Wu Sangao ordered the servant to open one of the warehouses, and when he pushed the door open, he immediately emitted a damp rusty smell, and the armor and scarf of the fine-scale armor were piled up into two small hills. Li Siye casually lifted the armor from the pile, some of the armor pieces were rusty, some of the armor ropes had fallen off, and the armor pieces crackled and fell.

Wu Senjun followed him and said with a smile: "These armor piles have been here for some years, although they are damaged, they can still be repaired. ”

Li Siye shook his head: "No, the armor piece is not gilded copper, and it is easy to rust, is your warehouse full of these broken goods?" ”

Wu Sangao was incredulous, shook his head and argued: "Those under your command are all ordinary soldiers, it's good to have armor, what else do you want them to wear?" ”

"Mingguang Armor."

Wu Senjun stared at him stunned, and smiled with his hands behind his back: "I don't have time to laugh with you." ”

"Who told you that you were kidding? What I want is the Bright Light Armor. ”

"Nope."

"I have money."

"It's not okay to have money, this is for the captain and Mo Dao general of the Du Guard, you people who are guarding the Green Ridge are draped out, isn't this letting Du Hu cut off my head?"

Li Siye: "Then the grade is a little lower, just want A?" ”

"Impossible, this kind of officer armor needs to be tailor-made, and you can't wear it if it's not suitable."

He stretched out his hand and pointed back, pointed at Fujimaki and Tian Zhen and said, "Aren't there two brothers here for me?" You tailor two sets for them, don't be too shabby, I just want you two. ”

Wu San's anxious spit flew wildly, shooting at Li Siye's face like a steel nail, but it was bounced back: "Don't!" The two of them are just a team! You let a seven-rank official waist with ten gold to try! This is considered a violation. ”

He really couldn't imagine that Wu Sangao would compete with him in armor, and he would not make any concessions, and the biggest concession was only to provide all the high-grade fine scale armor, and these fine scale armor were also qualified to be worn by elite troops.

These armor points were hidden in the straw of the carriage many times and transported away, for which Li Siye paid more than two million dollars to Wu Sangao, and when he did this, he finally replenished the missing armor of the Green Ridge Guard, and there was no need to take the blame for the dead old guard.

When they left the treasury, Wu Sangao personally sent it to the outside of the courtyard of the Cangcao Mansion, his sallow and white face was also a little better-looking, and he repeatedly told Li Siye: "This one hundred and twenty sets of armor go back and make it old as soon as possible, don't let anyone see it, otherwise the brother's future will be over." ”

Li Siye naturally knows this truth, armor is a contraband in law like a knife, it is not allowed to be buried with the people, and it is not allowed to be privately hidden, and if you sell it to the enemy, you are an enemy, and if you are not a soldier, you will rebel if you have it.

Why is the retirement of generals called unloading armor and returning to the field, you resign with the emperor and announce that you will not do it, the battle armor is to be returned to the emperor, and the weapons can be taken home, but the armor cannot.

Zhou Yafu once asked for some armor to accompany the funeral, and was named a rebellion. From this point of view, the Green Ridge Guard was really bold enough to capture these people, and they dared to sell their armor to the enemy country in order to drink.
