Shen Yu controlled her mental power and adjusted her breathing, and her whole person's breath seemed to be integrated with the surrounding environment.

When they first met, Zheng Qi could still see that there was someone beside Jiang Yanchi.

When Zheng Qi smiled and held Jiang Yanchi's arm, the two "uncle and nephew" passed through the city gate together, Zheng Qi had already "forgotten" that there was a little girl.

Jiang Yanchi cooperated and walked in together.

It's just that as he walked, his figure paused.

What about the little princess?

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure beside him, and Jiang Yanchi relieved himself.

Terrible! Little princess!

This ability to "hide the body" is even more powerful than Shadow Nineteen.

As for how Shen Yan did it, Jiang Yanchi was not curious, let alone asked.

This is his "tacit understanding" with the little princess.

The group entered the customs and came to the big tent of the Chinese army in the barracks.

At this point, there is no need for excessive pleasantries.

Jiang Yanchi and Zheng Qi both got straight to the point and went straight to the point.

"Uncle, my 2,000 men and horses arrived in two days, and I want to pass through Sanguan and enter the Central Plains."

"The horseshoe only needs to be given to me alone, and the secret recipes, crafts, etc., can no longer be passed on. Oh, your own centaurs, you can use! ”

"Good!"

"Happy!"

In this way, the formal negotiations, in fact, only took two or three sentences to complete smoothly.

Because both parties are smart people, both sides can provide the other with the benefits they want.

Moreover, although there is a pitiful amount between Jiang Yanchi and Zheng Qi, there is still a trace of friendship after all.

And the most important point, Jiang Yanchi has shown enough strength.

Zheng Qi no longer simply regards him as a "son of a world friend", but a "kind".

Zheng Qi looked at the finished horseshoe prepared by Jiang Yanchi in advance, and the detailed drawings, and couldn't help but sigh secretly:

"Twenty-one Lang is really calculating. In the past, he only knew how to use brute force, and he only knew how to go crazy. Now, he's starting to use his brain. ”

"He is worthy of being the son of Jiang Shilang, smart, sensitive, and flexible, and able to use everything to achieve his goals."

The last time I cleared the customs, I used the broken ordnance I picked up on the battlefield.

This time, I found an artifact like a horseshoe.

In fact, if you calculate carefully, Zheng Qi took advantage of the transaction between Zheng Qi and Jiang Yanchi.

"Twenty-one Lang, you are a good boy, your father knows everything, and he will be pleased to see you like this."

"Speaking of which, it's been twenty years since my brother died, and Twenty-one Lang is about to weaken the crown."

Poor children without fathers.

Although there is Yuan'an as a godfather, people with eyes and brains know that Yuan'an still treats Jiang Yanchi more as a knife.

It's just a tool that can be used.

Whether the elders are sincere or not, the children know.

Jiang Twenty-one will be so crazy, not only because of the torture of "head disease", but also because he understands his identity and situation.

The harem is such a complex environment, and there is an emperor who is bent on using himself...... It's no wonder that Jiang Twenty-one is not crazy.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qi, who still remembered the kindness of the Jiang family's brother, was also very rare to be emotional.

He looked at Jiang Yanchi lovingly, and said softly: "Uncle doesn't have much ability, and he can't help you much." ”

"Uncle has only guarded this pass in this life."

“…… If you need to clear customs in the future, just look for Uncle. ”

Zheng Qi's meaning is very clear, he really doesn't have any great skills and ambitions, but he is sitting on a loose pass.

All those who go out and enter the customs need to be controlled by him.

He is willing to give Jiang Yanchi the green light and let him go all the way, which is also a great favor to Jiang Yanchi.

"Uncle is humble, Sanguan is a fortress in and out of the Central Plains, you guard Sanguan, you are heroic and loyal, you must not be arrogant."

"I was thinking that my men and horses, when he comes back in the future, he still needs to ask Uncle to let him go, and I was a little apprehensive."

"Listening to Uncle's words at this moment, I am completely relieved...... Thank you, Uncle! Uncle treats me so kindly, Twenty-one Lang is grateful! ”

Jiang Yanchi used his remaining patience and emotional intelligence to say a few polite words.

The transaction between the two parties was officially concluded.

Jiang Yanchi and Shen Wu stayed in Sanguan for the time being, waiting for Xue Yi to lead the men and horses to clear the customs.

Two days later, Xue Yi and two thousand soldiers arrived on time.

"Haha! Not bad! Twenty-one Lang, your subordinates have changed from being loose a few months ago! ”

Lying on the city wall of the pass, Zheng Qiju looked down condescendingly, just in time to be able to see the whole picture of the two thousand men and horses.

The queue is neat, and the military discipline is serious.

The officers wore bright armor and rode war horses.

The minions wore leather or rattan armor, did not ride horses, but all held sharp weapons in their hands.

The number of this army is not large, but it gives a very strong momentum.

A veteran like Zheng Qi knew at a glance that this army was well-trained and no worse than the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

Oh no! Wrong!

Looking at these soldiers, they are all sturdy, their faces are ruddy, and they are even more "strong" than the defenders of his scattered passes.

Such a strong body is much stronger than that of officers and soldiers.

In the era of cold weapons, it was not only ordnance and war horses that were fighting, but also the physical fitness of soldiers also played an important role.

For example, most of the generals in ancient times were big fat men with "ten belts".

If the body is too thin, not to mention lifting a weapon weighing more than a dozen catties or dozens of catties, you can't even wear that armor.

The same is true of the soldiers.

If the body is not strong enough, he can't wield a knife, he can't cut people, even if he is wearing armor, he will still be picked up by someone.

However, it is not easy to make a soldier physically healthy.

If you eat well, you can grow meat.

And in the barracks, it is often not enough to eat, let alone eat well.

Zheng Qi is quite generous, or rather, he knows that the thousands of people under his command are his biggest reliance.

He never ate empty salaries, and he tried not to drink the blood of soldiers.

Rations or something, even if the amount cannot be guaranteed, will be given five or sixty percent.

The supply of the imperial court is not timely, or until now, there is no supply at all, Zheng Qi will take out his family property, or find a way to "borrow", and he will not lose his own soldiers.

Zheng Qi already felt that he was a good general who loved soldiers like a son.

But at this moment, seeing Jiang Twenty-one Lang's people, his body is so strong and his complexion is so good, Zheng Qi is a little ashamed-

Compared to Twenty-One, I'm still not good enough.

Look at the soldiers, 2,000 people, murderous and imposing, but they have the momentum of 20,000 people.

"This is a division of tigers and wolves."

"If you go to Zhongzhou, you will definitely be able to grab the benefits."

"Maybe you can come out on top in the melee of many warlords!"

Inexplicably, Zheng Qi has such a premonition.

He also looked at Jiang Yanchi more and more-

To be able to train such an army, and to be able to afford it...... That's a lot of power.

Twenty-one Lang will eventually become a generation of heroes.

Zheng Qi's eyes looking at Jiang Yanchi were all envious and jealous......
