Chapter Twenty-Eight: Yang Lei's Eyes on Yeqing Differently
"No matter how much you don't dare to talk about the royal family, you are a little suspicious of him, but you don't dare to say it because of your identity, he is only two years older than me, and he is not yet the crown in terms of age. Besides, we're still brothers, so I don't think it's him, who was joking with you just now. ”
Ye Qing paid attention to Jiang Cheng's face, and saw that his originally pure white face seemed to be the color of pig liver, with a different kind of beauty, Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh, it was really good-looking, and even his deflated expression looked so appreciative.
"Although I don't doubt him, I don't dare to rule him out, as for whether he is a little bastard Ye Lei, it depends on the evidence we have so far. Ye Qing Zhengse said, for this secret guard who has been with him since he was a child, he is still extremely open, what kind of gags, the joke between words is still somewhat meaningful, after all, Ye Qing is only fourteen years old.
Therefore, as a minor who has not yet reached the crown, these words should be regarded as his childlike innocence, Yeqing convinces himself of his other side of character in this way, but he is usually extremely rigorous, especially in the face of major rights and wrongs.
"In fact, judging from the means of attack this time, it should be a well-trained dead soldier, after you left, I fought to the death with them, and finally escaped, the martial arts of that group of people are not low, it should not be trained casually. It's just that the time and route of our departure this time are secret, and it stands to reason that no one else should know, so I have the guess just now. ”
Jiang Cheng knew that he was the master, and he had borne such a heavy burden at a young age, but when facing him, he never regarded him as an outsider, nor did he regard himself as a prince, as if he was an ordinary friend. Therefore, if he was gagging, he would not think that he would be the kind of person with an oily tone!
"Who is it that can train such a strong martial arts army, and I suspect that if we can capture them alive, we may not be able to uncover the mastermind behind them. It's a pity that the group of guards we brought when we went out were just the combat strength of ordinary soldiers, and they were not at the same level as that group of people at all, and you were the only master in our entire team. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to escape. ”
They walked all the way along the city wall, looking at the yellow sand from a distance, in fact, this place is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, unless the enemy is engaged head-on, a large number of men and horses are attacking, otherwise if you really want to sneak attack, from this city wall, basically at a glance, so it is indeed not wise to want to sneak attack from here.
The two of them went down the city wall and walked towards the general's mansion inside the city gate, although there was thousands of miles of yellow sand outside the city wall, but inside the city wall was a thriving scene, and the people of the city were busy with their own business, as if the smoke of the war had not affected them, even though they knew that maybe tomorrow there would be smoke here.
But they still guard this place, because this is their hometown after all, the place where they have lived since childhood, so no matter what happens here in the future, they will still not leave, just because they don't want to leave this homeland of their own, and leave their homeland to go to other lands they don't know.
Several people walked into the general's mansion together, Ye Qing had not yet established his own mansion on the border due to the reason of his new arrival, and he had just arrived in this border area yesterday, so it was difficult to go to other places for a while.
If you go to the post station, the safety there is not guaranteed, it's not that Yeqing is afraid, it's just that it's better not to happen twice for the same thing, they just escaped from the tiger's mouth a few days ago, and now in this realm that belongs to the Tianlan royal family, he can't make any mistakes.
At the suggestion of General Yang Lei, it is better to temporarily live in his mansion, where everything has heavy troops, and Yeqing has just come to take charge of military affairs on this border, so it is the most suitable and convenient for him to live here, since others have opened the door of convenience, he will not refuse no matter what.
This is Yeqing's consistent style of doing things, and it is also a choice that ordinary people will make. When the two stepped into the general's mansion, Yang Lei had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. Yang Lei saw the two of them coming, and quickly greeted him, this is a big Buddha, and it involves the royal family, since Yang Lei has made up his mind to be loyal to the Tianlan royal family, this Buddha naturally does not dare to slack off.
"Sixth Prince, you are back, the minister has been waiting here for a long time, have you gone to the city early in the morning?" Yang Lei hurriedly went up and bowed, although he had some doubts about the ability of this sixth prince in his heart, he would not show disrespect.
"No, I just went to the city wall to inspect it, and found that this position is extremely empty, and more than ten miles away from the city gate is the reckless yellow sand, and you can't see the end at a glance, so it should be extremely difficult to sneak attack successfully, once the enemy army approaches, the sentinels of my Tianlan Kingdom will find it at the first time?"
Yeqing heard the words of this General Yang Lei, and naturally sensed his meaning, and when he asked himself, he said that he was going to play in the market outside, and he should be sure that he was just a gentleman who came to play in the mountains and rivers and did not know the sufferings of the world, and he had no strategy in his heart, so he just regarded himself as a child who had not grown up.
And his trip is just to be in charge of border military affairs, even if he specially brought people to look for him that day, it is just because he Yeqing is the sixth prince of the Tianlan royal family, if Yeqing really has something to do in the place under his jurisdiction, he will naturally not be able to escape the relationship.
Therefore, he can only reveal his true intentions and make his position clear, he was personally sent by Emperor Tianlan to take charge of the practice in the army, not to visit the mountains and rivers. When Yang Lei heard Yeqing's speech, he immediately put away his contempt in his heart, he didn't expect that although these six princes were younger, they were definitely not the kind of people who only knew how to play and have fun, so it should not be so difficult for him to communicate with him in military affairs in the future.
"Therefore, if the enemy wants to attack us from here, we can only attack head-on, for a frontal attack, the comparison is naturally whether our soldiers and horses are stronger than them, we have only observed the city wall, it is nearly dozens of zhang high, so if they want to attack it is extremely difficult. In this way, in addition to being stronger than the enemy, we also need more powerful weapons, and I heard that the enemy country once invented a crossbow arrow that can shoot dozens of feet, and we must not lag behind them. ”
Ye Qing elaborated on what he thought in his heart, although he knew that these ideas might not be mature, but this was indeed his opinion, the two sides were not only stronger than soldiers and horses, but more importantly, they had more powerful weapons, and the strategy of the commander, only with these points could they be invincible on the battlefield.
"I didn't expect that the six princes were so young and had such a thorough understanding of the battlefield, which made the old man ashamed, but the training of the soldiers of the six princes may not be difficult, but if you want to create weapons with more powerful power, this may not be easy. ”
Yang Lei's image of Yeqing has completely changed at this moment, he didn't expect that these six princes already have such resourcefulness at a young age, if he really goes to war in the future, maybe he won't be the one who drags his feet, but judging from Yeqing's last assassination, this Yeqing may only be good at talking on paper, and he is not good at combat skills and actual combat experience.
Ye Qing seemed to have guessed the idea of Governor General Yang Lei, he probed into his bosom and took out a few parchment scrolls, on which were drawn drawings of the manufacture of various weapons, from crossbow arrows to sword blades, which were extremely lethal.
"As for the manufacture of weapons, I don't think General Yang Lei has to worry, for the manufacture of weapons, this is located in the border area, and there are often wars, I think there must be skilled craftsmen who can manufacture all kinds of weapons here, this is some weapon maps designed by myself when I was in the imperial capital, I wonder if I can help Governor Yang?"
Yeqing handed over the drawings in his hand to Yang Lei, Yang Lei, who took the sheepskin scroll in Yeqing's hand, and couldn't help but be shocked after carefully looking at it, the designer of this weapon turned out to be a small teenager, and the design of this weapon was far more exquisite than the power defense weapons he had seen over the years.
Some of them are weapons that use burning star stones as energy to achieve various powerful offensive and defensive powers, which has never been seen before. It's just a time where to look for the star stones here.
"Although the design of these weapons of the Six Princes can be said to be unprecedented, but the ministers have something unclear, these weapons designed by the Six Princes are all based on burning star stones as energy, but where do we go to find these star stones?"
"This is not difficult, before I arrived here, I had already ordered my subordinates to find out what star stone deposits were in the vicinity, and with their unremitting efforts, they finally found star stone deposits in a boundary dozens of miles outside the city, and then we can send people to mine them, as for the personnel problem, we can look for them from the city......
Ye Qing paused and continued, perhaps he didn't consider the issue of mining personnel: "It's just that I don't know if Governor Yang can find some suitable young men here to mine the star stone deposits in that area, maybe this matter will be a great breakthrough in our weapons and equipment manufacturing." ”
"In this way, the six princes have already been found, if the matter is true, I can gather young men in the city to go to the mines, and give them some remuneration by the way, presumably no one will refuse, so that we can not only seek a livelihood for those unemployed vagrants in the city, but also achieve our goals, so that it really kills two birds with one stone?"
Yang Lei didn't expect that this Sixth Emperor Yeqing had already thought so carefully when he didn't come here, it seemed that he really underestimated him, maybe he really had the ability to lead the troops to fight, it was not necessarily, if you can't look at the surface, this Sixth Prince Yeqing looks young, but it is extremely rare to have such wisdom.
