Zhu Huan put on his arm armor and asked, "How is Wu Qi's preparations?" ”

Yan Gang replied: "The rectification has been completed, and each person carries ten military rations, but the armor is ......."

"There's no way to do it on the armor side, I asked for 20,000 pairs of armor from the fourth brother, and I'm about to drain the treasury." Zhu Huan looked at himself in the bronze mirror, dressed in dark fish scale armor, with a short knife around his waist, majestic, and then said: "The heavy armor on the tiger and leopard side doesn't need to move, give priority to Bai Ma Yicong, and the rest will be assigned to the artillery battalion and Wei Wushu trained in the musketeers, and they can be matched as much as they can." How is Qi Jiguang preparing over there in the artillery camp? ”

"Fifty thunder guns have been equipped, and the newly built artillery battalion has a total of 200 people, 50 are the main gunners, 100 are deputies, and the remaining 50 are reserve gunners."

"Are there enough shells?" Zhu Huan said: "You know my strategic deployment, this time it is not just a city of Xuzhou that I want to fight. ”

"There are 6,000 rounds of solid artillery shells, 800 rounds of blasting shells, 2,000 catties of black powder, and 2,000 catties of iron sand."

"Lu Yun is a talent, so let's take him with you when I go this time." Zhu Huan said: "After this battle, I don't know if I will have a chance to return to Jinling in this life." ”

"The craftsmen of the arsenal ......"

"Those people don't need to move, just treat it as a gift for the fourth brother." Zhu Huan smiled: "I'm going to stab him this time, and I have to leave him some treasures as compensation." ”

After putting on the armor, Zhu Huan walked out of the palace and walked towards Baoqing's palace.

"Tomorrow at the end of the day, we will cook some good food for the soldiers, so that they can eat and drink well." Zhu Huan suddenly said: "I don't know how long this battle will take, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to be idle." ”

"No."

Walking all the way to the outside of Baoqing Palace, Zhu Huan looked at Yan Gang: "Half an hour later, you stand by the door and remind me to come out." ”

"No." Yan Gang didn't ask why, he knew that Zhu Huan had his own reasons.

Zhu Huan took off the short knife at his waist, threw it to Yan Gang, and walked towards the hall.

In the empty hall, even though the jade is decorated with gold dust, it only looks cold, and the girl in the brocade dress is leaning against the mahogany bed, holding the scarecrow in her hand to play.

Suddenly, a large hand appeared and snatched the scarecrow.

Baoqing was about to get angry, but when he saw that familiar face, he couldn't help but turn angry and happy: "Brother King Qi! ”

"Girl, what's so fun about this straw man, next time my brother will give you a golden man." Zhu Huan said with a smile.

"No, a silver needle can't break a gold man." Baoqing shook his head.

"What, who are you cursing, who is angry with my family Baoqing?" Zhu Huan pinched the straw man, and suddenly found that there was a note in the straw man, so he took out the note with interest: "Let me see who offended my family Baoqing, brother will teach him a lesson for you." ”

"Don't look, don't look!" Baoqing tried to thwart Zhu Huan, but her strength was no match for Zhu Huan.

Zhu Huan pressed Baoqing with one hand, opened the note with the other, and the smile on his face gradually solidified.

But I saw a very ugly villain drawn on the note, and the word "Zhu Huan" was written crookedly on the villain's face, the key is that the note is still full of needle eyes, which shows that this girl has not used silver needles to pierce the straw.

"You girl, are you afraid that your brother will have a long life?" Zhu Huan had some egg pain.

Baoqing pouted and said, "You said before that you would play with me for a long time, who let you lie to people." ”

"Brother, there is indeed something ...... here," Zhu Huan was a little helpless.

The arsenal in Beijing made artillery day and night, and for this battle, Zhu Huan was busy almost all night.

The armor of Wei Wushu and Bai Ma Yicong needed to be replaced, so Zhu Huan went to Yanwang's Mansion to find Zhu Di to borrow it, and it took Zhu Di a long time before agreeing to approve 8,000 pairs. Zhu Huan, the shameless goods, went directly to the treasury to coerce and lure, robbed 20,000 pairs and ran away, directly drained the old bottom of the treasury, and chased Zhu Di angrily with a knife to the Beijing camp to cut Zhu Huan.

If you want silver, Zhu Di will approve it without saying a word, but Zhu Di, an important strategic resource like armor, is just that, which Lao Zhu has saved little by little in Jinling City for so many years, and as a result, Zhu Huan has copied it all.

"Okay, you, then you don't want your sister." Baoqing tilted his head and didn't look at Zhu Huan.

Zhu Huan has never learned to "coax women" in his two lives, let alone "coax children", and he is a little helpless in the face of such a situation.

After a long time, Baoqing turned around and lay down, pillowed on Zhu Huan's lap, and gave his brother a step down.

Zhu Huan gently stroked Baoqing's petite back to comfort the girl's lonely heart.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, the girl was lying in the man's arms and sleeping soundly, although the armor on Zhu Huan's body was hard and cold, but Baoqing did not dislike it, but felt the tenderness from her brother.

Zhu Huan closed his eyes, and the complicated emotions in his heart calmed down at this moment.

An ambitious tiger will only put away its claws and fangs when it sniffs the roses.

After a long time, Zhu Huan looked at the main entrance, and Yan Gang stood on the side of the door.

Time to go.

Zhu Huan glanced at the girl in his arms, but he couldn't bear to wake her up.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, Baoqing opened his mouth and said, "Brother has something, so don't waste time here in Baoqing." ”

Zhu Huan picked up Baoqing, gently put her petite body on the couch, pressed it against the girl's forehead, and said softly, "I'm sorry." ”

After speaking, Zhu Huan got up and left.

Baoqing was the only one left in the hall, she was lying on the couch, curled up, and a crystal clear tear slipped from the side of her face.

She is a very intelligent girl, but in her heart, like children of the same age, she longs for her brother's company, but she can't bear to put her brother in a dilemma.

But she is not an ordinary girl of the same age, and Zhu Huan is not the big brother next door.

She is the princess of Baoqing of the Ming Dynasty, and her brother is the prince of Qi of the Ming Dynasty.

Beneath the resplendent is endless coldness and loneliness.

……

Walking out of the main hall, Zhu Huan's face became cold.

"Lord, where are you going now?" Yan Gang asked.

"Return to the Beijing camp, reorganize the troops, and send troops to Xuzhou tomorrow." Zhu Huan touched his left chest, but only touched the cold fish scale armor.

Beneath the armor is the heart of emptiness.

"Let's go." Zhu Huan let out a long breath, as if he wanted to exhale the boredom in his chest in one breath.

……

The sky has not yet seen white, and tens of thousands of heroes have already felt the night to march.

The neighing of war horses, the clashing of blades of armor, and the howling of the cold winter wind.

"Zhang Fu, Zhu Gaoxu, your troops keep up, if because the two of you are out of rhythm, this king will pick your skin!"

"No!"

"The tiger and leopard cavalry is in the middle of the camp, the white horse is the front army, the Wei Wushu guards the left and right wings of the middle camp, Qi Jiguang, let your musketeers and artillery battalions be behind. ZHANG Fu. Spread your scouts out of the way and find out the way ahead! ”

"No!"

"The whole army and horses are speeding up, and before tomorrow, they must arrive in Xuzhou!"

"No!"

Zhu Huan looked at Jinling City behind him, such a prosperous city, standing in the hinterland of the Central Plains, even in the night, it was still reluctant.

"Goodbye, Jinling."

Send troops to Xuzhou!
