Chapter 162: Tiger and Leopard Ride
The little lord who was only four feet tall walked in a hurry, and Mian Yan swayed with his movements, and the old eunuch behind him followed closely behind, and reached out with some worry to help this active little lord, but the little lord obviously didn't want to be supported, just a few jumps, he went up the steps, looked left and right and asked, "Didn't Father Xiang come today?"
"The prime minister said that he was feeling a little unwell, so he didn't come to see this military exercise. He asked the old slave to bring a message to the lord of the country: be cautious and serious, say less and worry more. The old eunuch leaned behind him and tried to lower his head as much as he could, so that the little lord could hear clearly.
The little country lord frowned, this kind of big scene, without Zhuge Wanling, he always felt that he was a little worried, but now that he was here, it was impossible for him to turn around, so he could only walk up hard, and sat on the highest seat in the respectful courtesy of the ministers.
However, the little country lord soon discovered a little advantage when Zhuge Wanling was away, that is, he didn't have to care about so many things related to etiquette, so he smiled playfully and said: "Today's military drill is not above the court hall, so don't have so many etiquette, Zhongqing...... Take care of yourself. ”
The ministers agreed one after another, and dispersed in twos and threes, finding their own suitable viewing positions on the long city walls.
In the final analysis, this kind of lively scene is always difficult for the courtiers to let go in front of the lord.
Of course, it was the same with the small lord, without restraint, he looked much more cheerful, reached out and plucked a grape from the tray in the old eunuch's hand, threw it upward, and then raised his head and opened his mouth, and the grape fell into his mouth.
The movements are skillful, and it is obvious that he usually does this kind of thing.
The old eunuch looked at the little lord swaying his legs, smiled, and didn't say much, in terms of identity, he is not a person who can blame the little lord, not to mention that the little lord is rare to be loose today, although Jing Wu does not have a master, but Zhuge Wanling is a little strict with him on weekdays after all.
The little lord looked around and found that there was something abnormal, so he turned his head and asked, "Father Xiang didn't come today, why didn't you see that Canghai ...... ...... of the sea Oh yes...... Why didn't Liu Junshi come?"
The old eunuch smiled and reached out to take the grape skin spit out by the little country lord, and didn't seem to feel that the thing that came out of his mouth was dirty at all, and replied softly: "Liu Junshi said that the letter from Canghai Kingdom needs to be processed, so he sent a deputy to watch the battle for him, and the barbarian warrior standing by the city wall is it." ”
The little lord looked at it, and the barbarian general had a solemn face, not only covered with a layer of leather armor, but also covered with a layer of pig iron armor, on which was engraved the head of a leopard.
He thought about it and guessed that this barbarian must have come from the first tiger and leopard cavalry in the world, this cavalry has only fought a few times, but every time he has fought a remarkable battle, in the world, only Jing Wu's Qingzhou ghost cavalry and the Mo family's black cavalry can be as famous as it.
It's just that such a heavy armor weighs no less than forty catties, and it should be a kind of torture to wear on the body, right?
The lord of the small country stuck out his tongue, but he didn't suspect that Liu De's reason for "handling letters" was too strange, but he just exclaimed: "It's really powerful." I heard that the barbarians have practiced riding and swordsmanship since they were young, and there are countless qi and blood cultivators...... You say, can the general be better than him?"
The little lord's eyes widened in curiosity.
The old eunuch hadn't spoken yet, but Gao Changgong laughed softly: "Martial arts cultivation is just a small way, and the minister doesn't dare to underestimate the heroes of the world." What's more, the envoys of Canghai came here to express friendship, and it was impossible for the ministers to compete with them. ”
The little country lord nodded, but exchanged a narrow look with Gao Changgong.
In fact, he also understands that Gao Changgong is the god of war of Jing Wu, and this barbarian general is just an ordinary general, where is there anything to compare, I am afraid that under a look, this barbarian warrior who looks far more powerful than Gao Changgong should be defeated, right?
He heard that Liu De also has a good martial arts, and the Senran ancient sword on his waist is a famous gentleman's sword in the world.
He suddenly became excited, reached out to pick grapes again, looked at the city, and asked, "When will it start?"
"It's coming. Both sides are arranging formations, and when the formation is arranged, the two sides can fight at any time. Gao Changgong watched as the team of more than 1,000 people on both sides of the city was arrayed, Abu was in the middle of the army, the flag soldiers waved the flag at his side, and the whole army quickly spread out in the sound of armor colliding.
Then the shield was erected to the ground with the sound of a thump, and the long wooden pole wrapped in cloth seemed to make people feel the edge above, although it did not have the tip of a spear.
Qin Ke sat firmly at the front of the cavalry, the horse under him twisted a little restlessly, he seemed to be nervous, and reached out to touch the war sword at his waist.
Gao Changgong smiled softly, and then turned his gaze to the tiger and leopard general.
"Is the world's first heavy horseman......" Gao Changgong looked at the heavy armor of pig iron, compared with the young and simple little lord, he didn't care about the martial arts of this tiger and leopard rider, after all, no matter how strong a general's martial arts are, how many people can he match? Ten people?
Even if he was praised as the god of war of Jing Wu, he could only temporarily avoid the edge under the impact of tens of thousands of iron horses, at least he had not seen anyone who could match tens of thousands of armies on his own.
And such a heavy armor, a full forty pounds, coupled with the burly body of the barbarian warrior and the weapon that will certainly not be light, what kind of horse must have to bear such a weight?
But there are really tens of thousands of such iron beast-like cavalry in the sea, and when they charge, they are like a tide of steel, and the earth trembles in the neighing of war horses, and where they run over, only a pile of corpses remains.
His face showed a little worry, a battle between Jing Wu and Canghai was inevitable in the future, but how would Jing Wu's cavalry infantry face such a heavily armored cavalry?
At this time, the barbarian warrior seemed to feel Gao Changgong's gaze, and slowly turned his head, his sharp eyes were like knives, and he stabbed at Gao Changgong fiercely.
Gao Changgong smiled slightly, as if he didn't care about his rudeness at all, but just a moment later, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and a killing intent suddenly rose!
With a "plop", the little eunuch who was originally serving food to Gao Changgong had weak legs, and the whole person knelt down, and the exquisite dishes of the palace fell down all of a sudden, followed by a rough but white hand catching the plate, shaking it in the air a few times, catching the dishes that were about to land.
Mulan slowly put down the plate and looked at Gao Changgong with interest.
And Gao Changgong restrained his killing intent, smiled slightly, stretched out his chopsticks, slowly lowered his chopsticks, chewed gently, patted the little eunuch with his hand, and said, "Help me bring me another pot of wine, I want to drink with General Mulan." ”
The little eunuch trembled, and was frightened because of his mistake, Gao Changgong didn't intend to punish him, he was suddenly overjoyed, and went away in a row.
The tiger and leopard rider in heavy armor was full of fear, his hands trembled slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to draw a knife at his waist, but found that before entering the palace, his weapon had been handed over to those eunuchs.
Looking at Gao Changgong's calm appearance, he was silent for a moment, turned his head, and looked at the military exercise under the city wall, but he could no longer calm his frightened heart.
On the bustling street, a figure in a green shirt walked slowly, and at a corner, walked into a nondescript tavern.
The lobby of the tavern is simple, just a table of eight immortals and benches, and many of them are sedan chairmen who do hard work, sitting in it, picking their feet and talking about some new things in the homes of dignitaries.
The man in the green shirt walked straight to the private room, and Xiao Er helped lift the straw mat used to block the view in the private room, Liu De was still wearing an idle Confucian robe, with an ancient sword at his waist, and he was still humming a folk tune while drinking a small wine.
"Coming?" Liu De smiled and asked a question he had asked last time, "Wine, or tea?"
"Tea. Zhuge Wanling's answer also remained unchanged.
