Chapter Ninety-Three: Collecting Divine Soldiers
"Brother is the palaceγγγγγγ" As soon as they entered Nangong, Xu Chu and the brothers were dazzled, whether it was the tall courtyard wall in front of them or the officials coming and going, that scene would not be what the two country boys usually dared to imagine.
"Brother, how old are your officials, why have they saluted you all the way, whether it is the Praetorian Guards or the officials!" Xu Qi, who had never seen much of the world in the excitement, also said in surprise.
"Okay, okay, how can you γγγ the palace beautiful?" Looking at the two brothers looking around, Jiang Qi also remembered the scene when he entered the palace for the first time, and said with a smile.
"Of course, when he returns to his hometown and tells his grandfather that we have entered the palace, he will definitely not believe it" Hearing Jiang Qi's question, Xu Chu exclaimed excitedly.
"Then since you like the palace, now that Hu Ben and Yu Lin will be under the banner of Brother Wei, it is better to find an official for your brother, how about being a Lang in the palace" Jiang Qi proposed with a smile.
"What do you mean, brother, is it for us to protect the officials?" Xu Qi asked curiously.
"Officer Lang is not an official, he has no rank, but after he is released, he will at least be a county lieutenant," Jiang Qi explained with a smile.
"I understand, my brother still doesn't want us to follow you in the army! Brother can say that there is no joke in the army" Regarding Jiang Qi's explanation, Xu Qi seemed to understand a little, and asked with displeasure.
"If you don't want to, then it's even if you don't say anything for your brother" Seeing that others couldn't ask for something fell on him, Xu Qi still refused, Jiang Qi waved his hand helplessly.
As the three brothers of Jiang Qi laughed, they soon came to the side of the arsenal, although there were heavy guards everywhere to ensure the safety of the arsenal, but who was Jiang Qi, and was welcomed in by an acquaintance before the bright talisman festival.
"Yiyang Hou is well, the lowly Shang Fang ordered Li Wei to invite you" After yesterday's preparations, Li Wei had already guessed that Jiang Qi would arrive today, and he finally waited for Jiang Qi after waiting for a morning.
"Li Shangfang has been waiting for a long time, Qi is disturbed" As soon as he greeted him, Jiang Qi also put away the smiling face just now, stepped forward and bowed slightly, although he has not been an official for a long time, Jiang Qi still knows what an official authority is.
"It's a humble honor to be able to serve Lord Hou, Lord Hou, please γγγγγγ"
"Li Shangfang, how is my weapon doneγγγ" Jiang Qi asked casually as he strode into Shang Fangsi.
"Master Qiqi, since receiving your drawings, the villain did not dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized skilled craftsmen to work day and night, and finally completed it three days ago, but γγγγγ" Listening to Jiang Qi's inquiry, Li Wei hurriedly reported.
"But what γγγ"
"According to the requirements of the Hou Ye, this halberd weighed one hundred and eight catties when it was completed, and the cold and beautiful saw cast by General Guan was only eighty catties in the past, which is already a rare heavy weapon, and now this halberd needs two people to lift, how to dance"
"Oh, it's heavier than I thought, I used to think that ninety pounds would be enough, okay, let's seeγγγ"
"No, Master Hou, please, I thought you were ready for the martial arts arena later."
"By the way, Li Shangfang, you have ready-made weapons in the warehouse, and my two brothers don't have weapons to inherit at the moment."
"Of course, Master Hou, there is no rest of the things, but there are many weapons, I don't know what weapons the two generals use" In the face of Jiang Qi's request, how could Li Wei refuse, but now he is worried that he has no chance to mutter.
"We all use big swords to γγγ," Xu Qi said excitedly when he heard that he was called a general.
"There is a big knife, but the weight is about seventy catties at most, the general sees whether it is suitable for use, if it is not enough, it can be customized, generally one or two months" Just now Li Wei heard Jiang Qi say that the two in front of him were his brothers, how dare he slack off, and now he said and promised.
"Brother Chu, how do you think you γγγ" After listening to Li Wei's introduction, Jiang Qi also asked.
"As long as you take it, can you take a look?" Xu Chu asked a little embarrassed.
"Naturally, it is better to arrange for his subordinates to take the two generals to choose, how to γγγγγ," Li Wei suggested.
"That's very good, then I'll see you in the martial arts arena later" Jiang Qi felt that there was no need to waste time, and immediately responded.
"Then listen to my brother's γγγγ," Xu Qi hurriedly agreed.
Watching the two brothers leave with a steward, Jiang Qi then walked through several doorways with Li Weidong, and came to their destination when they faintly heard the sound of clanging iron.
Although Shang Fang Si is not big, there are not many utensils, but it has a lot of status, the things produced here are exclusively for the upper use, and because this thing is exclusively for the upper use, those who can get the things produced here can not be owned by the princes and ministers, and the sword produced here after thousands of years also has a royal atmosphere, in that era this sword has a loud name - Shang Fang Sword, and those who can hold the Shang Fang Sword can hold the power of life and death.
This time, Jiang Qi asked Shang Fangling to build weapons, which can be regarded as using his position to fake public and private, but if he wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools, as a general who protects his family and defends the country, Jiang Qi can't go into battle shirtless, and if he is fake for public and private, he will fake for public and private.
With Li Wei's guidance, Jiang Qi soon came to a martial arts arena that was only about 100 paces, judging from the various weapons in the martial arts arena, this place should be a testing ground for ordinary generals to build good weapons, so although it is not grandiose, it is enough.
"Master Hou, please take a look at γγγ" Seeing that Jiang Qi was looking around at the martial arts arena, Li Wei hurriedly recruited two guards carrying the Changjin box of Zhangyu, and now judging from the guards' strenuous movements, the position in the box is not light.
"It's γγγγγ" was reminded, Jiang Qi immediately swiped the brocade box between his slender fingers, and said with some expectation.
Looking at Jiang Qi's expectant gaze, Li Wei didn't dare to show off, so he hurriedly opened it and explained at the same time: "Yes Hou Ye, according to your requirements, the halberd is nine feet long, as thick as a child's arm, the halberd head is golden, two feet long, the halberd is Mitsubishi, nine inches long, the halberd opens both ears and a single edge, one of the ears is replaced with a dragon horn arc, the halberd head and body are dragon spit, and the beads are natural."
"Good halberd, good halberd" opened the brocade box to Li Wei, Jiang Qi's eyes were immediately sucked and could not be separated anymore, when he stroked the dragon scales engraved on the halberd, looking at the dark halberd body, Jiang Qi had nothing but praise.
"This halberd body is carved from a famous artist, and the upper and lower parts of the halberd are made of star iron, which can be described as sharpening iron like mud and blowing hair," Li Wei continued to boast.
"Yes, just looking at this halberd will know that it is worth a lot of money, there is Lao Li Shangfang, and then Shang Fang will treat Qi and reward the craftsmen in the division" Jiang Qi couldn't put it down and stroked the halberd.
"The general guards the Quartet for the country, and it is a great honor to be inferior to be able to cast weapons for the general, how dare you take credit" Listening to Jiang Qi's praise now, Li Wei finally felt that his hard work was not in vain, and then saw him reply with a little excitement.
"Okay, Shang Fang is not proud of casting such a divine soldier for Ben Hou, today it will be regarded as Ben Hou owing you a personal favor, if he has any difficulties in the future, he will come to Ben Hou directly, Ben Hou will not refuse" Listening to Li Wei's slightly flattering answer, Jiang Qi didn't know what he meant, and even promised.
Of course, if Li Wei really took refuge in him, Jiang Qi didn't mind reusing it, after all, Li Wei would be a good hand at building city towers, casting weapons and armor.
"Thank you Hou Ye for your praise, Hou Ye can try the halberd to see if it fits" Although Jiang Qi didn't give him anything actual at the moment, but a favor, Li Wei was already ecstatic, at this moment Li Wei seemed to see a bright future, and as his mood climbed, Li Wei immediately suggested.
"It's also γγγγ" Yes, the weapon looks beautiful, but it doesn't necessarily matter if it is suitable or not, listening to the suggestion, Jiang Qi grabbed the halberd body at once.
The painted halberd with thick arms, although it is larger than ordinary weapons, is just right in front of Jiang Qi's slender ten fingers, and as Jiang Qi easily took out the painted halberd buckled in the box, the two halberd-carrying guards were relieved of their burdens.
At present, although the halberd can only be lifted by combining the strength of the two of them, it is very easy in front of Jiang Qi, perhaps it is the legendary weightlifting.
In the face of the surprised four, Jiang Qi turned the halberd that had just been pressed, and his wrist turned easily to spin the cherry blossom, with the rotation of the arm, even if this halberd was tailor-made, but Jiang Qi, who was not familiar with it, did not control the strength at once, and immediately the halberd head crossed the ground, and a crack was drawn after the piercing.
In this way, looking at the scratches of the bluestone slab, Jiang Qi really realized that Li Wei did not deceive himself, but this halberd was as sharp as clay.
The divine soldier was in hand, and saw the sudden traces, Jiang Qi also forgot about the official Zhen, and then pulled down the hem and jumped into the martial arts arena with the halberd, as a gun training Jiang Qi, although he changed to a halberd now, but he did not abandon the marksmanship tricks, now from the Mitsubishi gun head of his halberd, it can be seen that in fact, this halberd also has the shadow of a gun.
The halberd is evolved from Ge and the spear, because the seal carved wisp in the body of the halberd is also called the painting halberd, the move in the halberd takes the length of the Ge and the spear, and mostly chops, stabs, hooks, back cuts, horizontal stabs, straight splits, etc. as the main moves, and the big knife, the spear is generally a heavy weapon.
However, compared to the main battle weapon broadsword and spear, the halberd is difficult to practice because of its complex moves, so it went into decline not long after it appeared, and now it has almost been transformed into a ceremonial guard, of course, it is precisely because of its difficulty in training, but where there is a military general who uses the halberd on the battlefield, he is either a peerless master, or he is looking for death.
Jumping into the martial arts arena with a halberd in hand, Jiang Qi seemed to have changed into a different person, and he could still see the gentleness just now, and the murderous aura on his body immediately frightened the officials and guards who were watching the excitement around him and took a few steps back.
Although Jiang Qi is not very proficient in the new weapon, he is a master after all, even if the halberd has not fully played its function at the moment, but the sound of the wind brought by the halberd between Jiang Qi's dancing actually emitted a low dragon roar, and this sound is destined to make this halberd no longer ordinary.
In the face of such a treasure, Jiang Qi naturally took it in his pocket, and at the same time, this halberd also had a resounding name - Tenglong Halberd.
Of course, at the same time as Jiang Qi harvested, Xu Chu and Xu Qi also gained a lot, in addition to one person carrying a big knife, he also took a sword by the way, and Xu Qi was not kind enough to make a three-stone riding bow.
But although the brothers of the Xu family were unceremoniously, looking at the three people who were full of loads, Li Wei, who was walking and watching, was very happy, anyway, he was generous to the court and did something, so why didn't he do it.
