Chapter 111: Preparing for Appointment
After getting the promise, Jiang Qi naturally didn't dare to delay, and even ordered someone to pass it on. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, who were soon notified, arrived with more than the leader of the escort battalion squadron.
Then I heard that a craftsman battalion had been found to make armor and weapons for them, and more than a dozen people who came were excited. Warriors know that this handy weapon and sturdy armor will give them a second life on the battlefield.
Of course, Zhao Yun and Tong Fei, who had weapons and armor in their hands, did not miss this opportunity, and asked the craftsman to make a similar spare suit according to the style of his armor.
It's good to build armor, after all, there are only a few types, and then measure the body shape. But the weapons were not so easy to make, and according to their respective preferences, it took a while for a few people to draw drawings to complete it.
Looking at the data recorded above, they are a little smacked, the heaviest of them is Guan Yu, the big knife he named Leng Yan Saw weighs eighty catties, and Zhang Fei's snake spear is eight feet long.
But it's nothing, the trouble is still to come, and what Jiang Qi asked for is a cumbersome. Dozens of sets of armor are fine, but the best rhinoceros leather can be used, and the leather armor only needs to fit well. There is only an iron heart guard on the chest, which is a bit troublesome, mainly because it requires that it cannot be reflected.
The armor is troublesome, and the weapons are even more complicated, first of all, the blade of the knife should be three feet long, the tip of the knife should also have a curvature, and require a thick back, the left and right sides of the knife body have blood grooves, the handle length should be able to be held with both hands, and the handle and the blade edge should be guarded. In this way, there is still the appearance of the ring-headed knife that is now distributed by the main battle.
Jiang Qi's weapon was not only thickened, but also half a foot longer in length, Li Wei, who often made weapons, immediately saw the power of the knife, but it was very troublesome to build, he was not interested in reporting the knife to let his boss know the batch output.
Finally seized the opportunity, this knife is naturally not finished, Jiang Qi also asked them to build a batch of hand crossbows that are much smaller than strong crossbows.
If Li Wei was going crazy about all this, then the last knife as thin as a finger with blades on three sides would make him crazy, but fortunately, after the craftsmen shook their heads, this knife was put aside, and at the end, Jiang Qi quietly gave him a glittering gold cake in a wooden box, which also made up for the damage in his heart.
Of course, these strange things were all ideas that came to Jiang Qi's mind when he formed the scout camp. Now that he has encountered such a good opportunity in the craftsman camp, of course he will not give up, and when Zhang Ping and Li Wei, who are in pain and happy, are sent away, the sunset has already set.
Back in the mansion, Jiang Qi had a suppertime in the attention of everyone in the mansion, but was about to flee but was stopped by his grandfather.
Then the grandfather and grandson came to the study alone, Jiang Qi knew that his grandfather must have something to explain, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he agreed to someone else's Xu Guan without the consent of the clan.
If it were an ordinary family, it would be just that, but his current identity is there, and his words and deeds are related to the family's attitude.
Fortunately, during the banquet just now, the clan did not raise any dissatisfaction, but continued to congratulate. Seeing his mother's expression as if she was much younger, Jiang Qi knew that she should be fine, and soon after the grandfather and grandson sat down, Jiang Qun's words relieved Jiang Qi's doubts.
"When is Qi'er going to take office, do you want someone in the house to follow?" Grandfather Jiang Qun asked.
"This is the first time Qi'er has led the soldiers, and there is no bottom in his heart, let alone such a fierce Yue cavalry battalion. This time, Qi'er is going to take a few sworn brothers, as well as all the scout camps. When the time comes, will you want those knights? Jiang Qi said what he thought.
"Well, when you first arrived in a place, you want some cronies, so what about the escort battalion you left behind, have you thought about it?" Jiang Qun asked, after all, Jiang Qi has basically mastered the guard camp now, and Jiang Qun would not be able to take it away without his opinion.
"Qi thinks that the current guard battalion structure has been erected, and who is in charge has little impact, as long as the ability is appropriate, Qi feels that he can continue to use the original Jiang Li, after all, the original old guards are all trained by him, and he should be able to do it with such a long period of experience."
"Besides, Qi originally planned to let him serve as his deputy after the old and new battalions were mixed, of course, in order to make the guard more cohesive, Feng and Biao could be allowed to serve as the deputy of the guard battalion, and how to watch the development of the guard battalion in the future."
"Why don't Feng and Biao enter the barracks with you, but the two of them are the best in the camp?" Jiang Qun asked after hearing Jiang Qi's words.
"The two brothers are talented generals, but they are not suitable for cavalry, but after Qi is completely established, he will let the brothers who have the ambition to join the army enter γγγγthe military camp for training."
"Alright! Your personal arrangement, if you ask for help to speak directly to your grandfather, the clan will give full support, and in the future, you will not be in the army than at home, and you are still young, if there is anything to talk to a few of your sworn brothers, those people are rare heroes in the world, and it can be seen that they are all benevolent and righteous people, and they can achieve a great thing if they are used well."
"Of course, you can stand in this position at the age of sixteen, and the future is immeasurable, let it go! The clan will be your most determined castleγγγγ" Jiang Qun said to Jiang Qi with satisfaction, his eyes full of truth.
"Thank you grandfather, Qidang does not disgrace the prestige of the clanγγγγγ"
γγγγγγγγγγ
γγγγ
Back in the room, Jiang Qi began to work out some training matters after receiving Yue Qi, after all, the army is no better than private soldiers, and he can come as he wants.
Moreover, if you don't get some results for the first time in the military circles, not only yourself, but I am afraid that you will also have to recommend He Jin. How to say that you are too young, it is easy to be criticized.
It wasn't until the time of the rooster that Jiang Qi, who had been busy all night, completed the training plan for the first three months, during which Li Lier changed the oil lamp for him a few times and made some pastries, and finally he couldn't stand it so he had to go to rest first.
Looking at the thick stack of yellowed paper, Jiang Qi couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment, if he completed the plan, the more he rode might be invincible in the world.
However, looking at the dissolved font on the rough paper in his hand, Jiang Qi felt that there was a fly in the ointment. Seeing this, the idea of improving these yellowed papers into white flowers also popped up in my head.
Now the paper that hurts so rough and wiping the buttocks is still sky-high, and most people can't afford to buy bamboo slips that are used. Think about it, even if you can't make white paper for calligraphy and painting, as long as you make cheap soft paper to wipe your buttocks, will you be able to leave a name in history like Cai Lun, think about it should be a must, after all, this is a matter for Emperor Shangli to benefit the people.
Of course, the idea also comes from an inexplicable memory in my mind, but I don't know if it can be realized, because in my memory, there is only the pattern of paper and there is no way to make it.
After finishing everything, Jiang Qi stretched his waist and returned to the room, and when Li Lier was not on the bed, he remembered that she did not sleep in her room. Because she has no name now, although her family has accepted the three books and six ceremonies, but because Jiang Qi has not married a wife, she can't marry her as a wife or concubine.
But because the two are already in a relationship, it's not easy to go back, so now they have to treat them as a roommate.
Even if she is a girl in the house, no one in the house treats her like this, not only because it can be seen that Jiang Qi likes her very much, but also because the two families are still related. Therefore, Li Lier's room was also arranged diagonally opposite Jiang Qi's attic, and the room was also arranged for her according to the specifications of Miss Fuzhong.
Seeing that it was like this, Jiang Qi didn't want to bother her, and besides, she didn't have a good rest for two days, so she closed the door and decided not to practice in the morning, take a good rest, replenish her strength, and meet the next thing.
However, it backfired, Jiang Qi was playing chess with Zhou Gong in a dream not long after he fell asleep, and there was an itch in his ears, and his nose also smelled a familiar smell. You don't have to think about it to know that it's a mischievous sister again.
Jiang Qi didn't know if he had a talent for entering the house, no matter how well he closed the doors and windows, Jiang Lin'er could come in, and then Jiang Qi simply didn't close it and just pulled it, of course, he was afraid that she would get hurt when she came in through the window.
"Okay, don't make trouble, my brother has important things to do tomorrow, let my brother have a good rest." Jiang Qi didn't open his eyes, so he put aside Jiang Lin'er's funny hand and said vaguely, then turned over and continued to sleep.
"Brother is about to get up, what time is it, Sister-in-law Zhaoji is here." Jiang Lin'er said with a cute pout.
"Oh, I want to lie to my brother and find a better excuse! It's good for Zhao Ji to come in directly, do you still need to be mischievous here? Jiang Qi said with indisputable eyes.
"Hmphγγγ okay, sister-in-law Zhaoji, you can serve the lazy worm by yourself! Ring down, I'll take you to the garden. Seeing Jiang Qi's lazy appearance, Jiang Lin'er stomped his feet and turned around and pulled the snickering Huan'er at the door and slammed the door and left.
Cai Yan smiled and closed the door that was not closed, then straightened out the robe that Jiang Qi had haphazardly put on the hanger, knelt on the edge of the couch and said, "Is my brother tired for two days?" Do you want Yan'er to make some supplements for my brotherγγγγγγ"
Hearing the sweet voice coming from the side of the bed, Jiang Qi opened his eyes suddenly, turned around and saw Cai Yan with a crimson face, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It's really here, why didn't you call me earlierγγγγγγ"
"I just came for a while, I just said something to my wife, and I heard that my brother didn't bother when I went to bed very late yesterday, and my brother was tired because of the things of that day, and it took γγγ day to γγγ it?" Looking at Jiang Qi's fluffy hair and tired face, Cai Yan said with concern, and lowered his head shyly after speaking.
"That day, γγγγγ," Jiang Qi laughed at the shy beauty.
"Bad brother, you know how to bully Yan'er!"
"Haha, okay, okayγγγγ let's not talk about it! Actually, it's nothing, the main thing is that I drank too much wine in Yin Mansion in Henan the day before yesterday, and I will be fine after taking a break. Jiang Qi smiled and helped the kneeling beauty to the couch, hugged it in his arms and said with a smile: "Yan'er is okay now, it's all because Qi was too hard that dayγγγγ
"My brother also said that Yan'er has no face to see people!" Hearing Jiang Qi's words, Cai Yan buried his head in Jiang Qi's arms.
"What's the matter, isn't it something we have to do every day to get married in the future, what are you shy?" Jiang Qi scraped the beautiful woman in her arms with a flying face, and then said: "After Master Cai comes back, Qi will ask his mother to send someone to the door to propose marriage, but I just don't know if your family has been scholarly for generations, whether you can look down on me and the worldγγγγ"
"Yan'er doesn't marry anyone except her brother," Cai Yan didn't wait for Jiang Qi to finish speaking, covered Jiang Qi's mouth and looked at him with a firm gaze.
"Qi will love Yan'er all his life" Jiang Qi took Cai Yan's hand and promised, after the two hugged each other for a while, Jiang Qi said ostentatiously: "I forgot to tell you that I was appreciated by Henan Yin that day, and I kept Qi a position as Sima of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and now Qi is also a Han official!" β
"Yan'er has already heard what Sister Li'er said, but it is very dangerous to march and fight, and my brother should be careful," Cai Yan said with concern when he heard Jiang Qi's words.
"Well, rest assured that it's for my Yan'er, Qi will also spare her life, and Qi will accompany Yan'er for the rest of her life!"
"But my brother promised, don't break your wordγγγ"
"Don't worry, the man is hard to chase after him, oh? That's right! Why did you suddenly come here today? β
"Why not welcome? You are embarrassed to say that you didn't know to come to Yan'er when you left that day, which made Yan'er sad for a long time, and today I had to send it to the door by myselfγγγγ"
"Why! Didn't you be touched by Huan'er that day? Qi is afraid that he will be beaten out by Master Cai after going in, this is not yesterday I heard Feng Xiao say that Master Cai is out, Qi originally planned to go to your house after waking upγγγ γγγβ
"Oh? My brother also knows Senior Brother Guo, oh, that's right! Yan'er forgot, Feng Xiao is good to get acquainted with talented people. However, my father had already come back last night, and that was why Yan'er came to my brother today. β
Saying that Cai Yan took out a brocade box in general, and took out a bamboo flute with fine workmanship after opening it, the body of the flute was light cyan, and it was an old bamboo at a glance, the bamboo was three feet long, composed of five sections, thicker than the thumb, and just looking at the material knew that it was a good flute.
"This is my father's visit to friends this time is to get, last night my father gave it to Yan'er, Yan'er saw that brother played very well, rather than Yan'er to keep it wasted, it is better to give it its real ownerγγγγγγ"
"Do you have a fate?" Jiang Qi took it with a smile and said.
"Brother, I thought γγγ yes, that's it!" Cai Yan couldn't help but say ashamedly.
"From then on, Qi and Yan'er can often play the piano flute and sing together, but since Zhao Ji has given Qi something to love, of course Qi will return the favor."
Saying that, Jiang Qi got up, took out a jade flute that had been with him for many years from a bag hanging on a hanger, handed it to Cai Yan and said: "This jade flute grew up with Qi, and I will give it to you today, if Master Cai asks, Yan'er can be said to have exchanged it with her future husband, hahaγγγγγ"
"Go! It's not seriousγγγγγ Cai Yan took the priceless jade flute and laughed, just from the jade flute and the jade pendant of that day, Cai Yan already knew his status in Jiang Qi's heart, and then the two couldn't help but play a song together.
