Chapter 35: A New Business Opportunity
"Now?"
Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Chuang suspiciously.
"Naturally, after drinking, when I went to the school field of my patrol battalion, I haven't practiced for a long time, and those soft eggs in the patrol camp are very weak."
"It's also in Shangjing, if it is put in the border army, it is simply vulnerable, and it is not as strong as a girl."
A few taels, ah a few jars of yellow soup, Xiao Chuang's words have obviously increased.
There is no door on the lips anymore.
However, judging from the attitude of the people in the patrol camp towards him, Xiao Chuang's prestige is still quite high.
Someone like him, especially in the military, is very easy to subdue a group of die-hard loyalists.
The two of them didn't know how much they drank, but neither of them was the slightest bit drunk.
The ninth-level alcohol level, that's not blowing.
It is no exaggeration to say that drinking down more than two dozen people is not a problem.
The shopkeeper who ascended to the floor came to the table of the two at some point, and was amazed for a while.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Mr. Xiao drink so much, this little brother didn't expect it to be massive."
"Lao Liao, this is my brother, and when he eats in the future, he will record it in my account."
Xiao Chuang staggered to Jiang Chen's side and hugged him into his arms.
"Gotcha."
A touch of surprise flashed on Lao Liao's face, it was the first time he had seen Xiao Chuang treat a person younger than him so warmly.
Smiles piled up in an instant.
"You two have some more?"
"No, there's still something to do, another day, another day."
Xiao Chuang hurriedly refused.
He won't forget the exchange with Jiang Chen, his hands are already itchy.
If we delay any longer, it will be dark.
He had to patrol the city at night, and he couldn't delay.
The two walked shoulder to shoulder on the streets of Shangjing, and the pedestrians looked sideways, secretly speculating about the identity of the young man next to Xiao Chuang.
After all, Xiao Chuang's reputation has long been all over the streets.
The location of the patrol battalion is far away from the royal inner city, but it is not biased, after all, it is necessary to coordinate the defense of the whole city.
Responsibility is second only to the Imperial Guards guarding the Imperial Castle.
You must know that in terms of status, the Royal Forest Army surpasses the patrol battalion, all because Xiao Chuang is the general flag of the patrol battalion.
Patrol camp school grounds.
"I don't know what the most commonly used weapon is for Little Brother Jiang."
"Guns!"
Xiao Chuang came to the side of the weapon rack, picked up a spear without question, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard Jiang Chen's words.
"Are you sure?"
"This is playing with guns, but my forte, when the time comes, if you lose, don't blame me for bullying you."
"No problem, just come."
Jiang Chen secretly said in his heart: It is also my strength.
Before I absorbed your skills, I played with guns for more than twenty years.
Xiao Chuang seemed to be deliberately testing Jiang Chen, and with a sharp flick, the spear broke through the air with a sharp energy, and even a sonic boom could be heard.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, somersaulted sideways, and the whole person rose into the air, grabbed his right hand violently, and held the gun firmly in his hand.
But what he didn't expect was that the power on the gun was not completely removed.
Fly a few meters away with him.
However, Jiang Chen has Xiao Chuang's ninth-level spear skills, as well as Han Lu's ninth-level physical strength.
Raw control of the gun in his own hands.
Steady landing, a perfect debut.
"Little Brother Jiang really didn't disappoint me, I hope yours is not a showmanship."
As soon as Xiao Chuang's words fell, his right foot stomped on the ground.
The school field was instantly filled with thick yellow sand.
Jiang Chen's spirit was highly concentrated, and the spear was placed in front of him.
Move quickly under your feet, so as not to completely expose your defenseless back in front of Xiao Chuang.
"Ding, ding, ding."
The crisp sound kept ringing.
The two of them could barely be seen in the yellow sand.
The battle between the two was so great that it attracted many soldiers from the patrol battalion to come and watch.
"Who is this guy, he is on an equal footing with Lord Zongqi."
"yes, we haven't had anyone who can fight with the general flag for more than ten moves, right?"
"How many are they?"
"No less than thirty years old......"
Some small flags also rushed over, looking at the white-hot two people in the field with solemn expressions.
"It's going to be a result soon."
In the crowd, I don't know who spoke.
The field was dusty, but there was no movement.
It seems that the results of this competition have already been obtained.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the soldiers of the patrol battalion saw the figures of the two people in the field clearly, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Because at this time, the tips of the two guns were actually facing each other.
There was an uproar.
Xiao Chuang was the first to speak.
"Little Brother Jiang, I am surprised by your gun law, no less than me."
"Hades also surprised me."
The two of them blew each other in business, but the strength in their hands did not relax in the slightest.
"Ding~~~"
A rapid, sharp metal crash sounded.
The next moment, the spears in the hands of the two of them shattered at the same time.
Sawdust flew all over the sky, falling silently on the ground with the falling yellow sand.
The metal tip is twisted and unsightly.
"It's worthy of the general flag, the head of the gun can be shattered."
", what's the fun." Hearing the compliment, Xiao Chuang's face was not very good-looking.
Jiang Chen also seemed to have noticed the problem, and walked over to pick up the head of the gun that had fallen on the ground.
After groping, he said with a little surprise.
"There's something wrong with the hardness of this iron."
"You found out too?"
"Alas!" Xiao Chuang sighed lightly.
"Does Hades know why?"
Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Chuang curiously, judging from his expression, he obviously knew the reason, and seemed to be very annoyed, but he was helpless.
"It's strange to say, whether it is the weapons of the border army or the weapons of the patrol battalion, the toughness of iron is much worse than that of the barbarian lands of Northern Xia and Yueshi, and many soldiers on the battlefield have lost their lives because of this."
"At that time, I thought that someone was deliberately targeting our border army, but later I found that the weapons of all the armies were very similar."
"Oh, except for His Majesty's Black Guard." After that, he added.
Xiao Chuang shook his head and put away the two broken gun heads.
Even if it breaks, it can still be made into a new one by re-smelting.
Iron is especially important to the scenery at this time.
"Is the weapon armor of the patrol battalion uniformly distributed and cast by the imperial court?"
"Most of them are, a very small part of them are provided by the chambers of commerce in various places, and the weapons and equipment of the border army and other local armies are basically provided by the chambers of commerce." Xiao Chuang replied.
He knew what Jiang Chen was suspicious of.
"But all the weapons and armor are proven, and it's perfectly fine."
"I'm not saying that there is a problem with these merchants who supply weapons, but I want to talk about the way iron is smelted."
"The way to smelt iron?"
Xiao Chuang's brows furrowed, he hadn't thought about this before.
"Different smelting methods produce different pig iron, and a lot of it needs to be further purified."
"If I'm guessing correctly, the way to test whether a weapon is qualified is also different in different places."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xiao Chuang was like an empowerer, and instantly understood what he meant.
Without a unified standard, it is natural to produce a batch of seemingly qualified things.
In fact, it is not yet known whether it will stand the test of war.
"Brother Jiang, the decision to find you today is really right." Xiao Chuang was awakened by Jiang Chen's words, and his title became much more affectionate.
"It just so happens that I'm a little interested in this, and I wonder if Hades can do me a favor."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Xiao Chuang patted his chest and promised.
