Chapter 374: Before Leaving (1)
When Wang Jiujiu saw the housekeeper, he was worried in his heart, for fear that he would see through his origin, so he bowed his head and stood aside. The butler's gaze swept over him, and without saying anything, he turned and went downstairs.
Lu Xiaoyuan followed him to the General's Mansion, and before he entered the door, he heard someone shouting, and when he came to the courtyard, it was a group of samurai who were practicing. They were musket guards, armed with steel knives, fighting in pairs.
A samurai was slashed in the right leg by his opponent, but fortunately he was not injured in armor, but a white mark on the black armor was very conspicuous.
Musket Captain Cheng Batian strode forward, slapped the warrior on the back of the head, and scolded: "Stupid!" snatched the steel knife and said, "His knife should be cut off on the head, you set him up, why don't you cut his right shoulder?"
When all the warriors saw the captain show his skills, they all stopped the fight, gathered around to watch, and every time the steel knife drove the wind, the sound of color thundered.
Cheng Batian collected the sword, and the samurai were flattered and praised by a large number of people. Cheng Batian was very satisfied, his eyes swept, and when he saw Lu Xiaoyuan beside him, he shouted: "Yuan Liu, it's you, right? You can beat Mu Long, which means that you are very good at it, tell me, how is my sword technique?"
Lu Xiaoyuan really didn't dare to compliment his sword technique, not to mention that martial arts masters, even in the eyes of immortal and even saint rank martial artists, they were also full of flaws, and he smiled at the moment: "Not bad." Captain Cheng leads the musket guard, and I think the marksmanship must be very good, I wonder if I have the honor to observe it?"
He changed the topic lightly, after all, idiots also need self-esteem, Cheng Batian can speak in front of General Jinju, and Lu Xiaoyuan is unwilling to fall out with him over this trivial matter.
Cheng Batian threw the steel knife backwards, and his subordinates caught it. He stretched out his hand, and another person brought a musket to his palm, he clenched his five fingers, raised his hand and shot at the target on the left, "bang, bang" three times in succession, and the three targets that had been opened ten feet were smashed to pieces.
In the applause, Cheng Batian blew away the white smoke from the muzzle of the gun, held the gun, aimed, fired, and collected the gun in a coherent and chic manner, and it could be seen that he had indeed worked it.
Lu Xiaoyuan praised from the bottom of his heart: "Captain Cheng's handsome marksmanship, admire, admire." ”
Tang Di also has a musket team under him, but in terms of marksmanship, none of those leaders can compare to Cheng Batian. At that time, gunpowder was not in vogue, and muskets could not be produced in large quantities, so they could not be thrown into the battlefield on a large scale.
Cheng Batian loaded the chamber of the gun with bullets, very proud.
The housekeeper took Lu Xiaoyuan to the side hall, Wei Wensheng sat behind the table in the hall, the housekeeper said goodbye and left, Wei Wensheng stretched out his hand and said, "Yuan Shaoxia sit down and talk." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan sat on the chair and asked, "The general is summoned, I don't know what happened?"
Wei Wensheng said: "Ten days later, Hou Ye will return to Kuangtian City, and when the time comes, Wei will recommend Yuan Shaoxia, but there is no evidence, if you don't do something, Hou Ye may not take Shaoxia to heart." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan said: "What does the general mean?"
Wei Wensheng stared at Lu Xiaoyuan with burning eyes, and said: "The spies came to report that a team of Yan thieves broke into the territory of Jinzhou, and their whereabouts have been exposed. ”
Lu Xiaoyuan's face changed, and he didn't answer.
Wei Wensheng saw that he was panicked and worried, and said, "What's the matter, what is the difficulty of Shaoxia?"
Lu Xiaoyuan said in his heart: "I infiltrate Jinzhou, I don't know how much role I can play, how can I kill the soldiers of the Yan Wang Army to win the trust of the Marquis of Jinzhou? ”
He glanced up slightly, and saw a hint of cunning in Wei Wensheng's suspicious gaze, and suddenly thought: "No, Brother Yan said that if the Yan Wangjun wants to recuperate, how could he send an army to Jinzhou? ”
At the moment, he said: "Don't hide it, on the way down to Jinzhou, there was a battle with Yan Wangjun, and Yan Wangjun has a killing weapon called "Crazy Thunder Heavenly Prison", which can release fast thunder and lightning, and almost killed him. ”
Wei Wensheng said lightly: "I see." After your own army surrounds the enemy's masters, the Thunder Prison can exert its greatest effect. It was a small team that infiltrated Jinju and couldn't deal with a martial arts master like Yuan Shaoxia. Could it be that Yuan Shaoxia is afraid of death?"
Lu Xiaoyuan said: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, I've never led troops to fight in Xia, I'm afraid that the command is improper, and it will affect the soldiers of Jinzhou." It's better to do this, the general chooses someone else to command the troops, and attacks alone, waiting for the opportunity to kill the leader of the Yan thieves, and the Yan thieves will be chaotic, and none of them will be able to escape at that time. ”
Wei Wensheng didn't leave Lu Xiaoyuan's face and said, "Lu Shaoxia really thinks so?"
Lu Xiaoyuan said: "What's fake about that? Zai Xia is really not good at leading troops, but assassination and surprise attacks are Zaixia's strengths." ”
Wei Wensheng pondered for a moment, a soldier ran into the hall, whispered a few words in Wei Wensheng's ear, Wei Wensheng waved his hand, and the soldier ran out again.
Wei Wensheng sighed and said, "It's a pity, the latest news, that Yan Thief army has withdrawn from Jinzhou." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan said in his heart: "Sure enough, you are testing the master again." With an annoyed and regretful look, he slapped the table and shouted: "Damn Yan thief! If you run today, you can't run tomorrow, and sooner or later the master will break your corpse into ten thousand pieces!" In his heart, he replaced "Yan thief" with Jinzhou Hou, Wei Wensheng and others.
Wei Wensheng was frightened by his sudden slap and roar, and said with a smile: "Okay, the empire needs a loyal and resolute talent like Lu Shaoxia." After a pause, he said: "Since this merit is gone, north of Kuangtian City, in the Sand Flow Demon Domain of Tianmu Ridge, there is a Sandstorm Dragon, and it is also a great credit for you to get rid of it and dedicate the quicksand spirit in its body to Hou Ye." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan has heard of the name of the Sandstorm Dragon, it is said that when this demonic beast goes crazy, it will cause a sandstorm in the Sandflow Demon Domain, and its strength will never be weak, and the Marquis of Jinzhou will not use the ghosts, the Li family of Jinzhou and other masters, and the danger of this task must not be small.
He thought to himself that no matter how powerful this demonic beast was, it was an orc clan after all, and with his own status and strength, even if he couldn't kill it, he wouldn't die on Tianmu Ridge, plus he liked to take risks, so he agreed.
Wei Wensheng said: "Okay, Wei will send another unit from the Flying Tigers to assist you." "Flying Tiger, Flying Eagle, and Flying Biao are the top elite divisions in Jinzhou, and they are directly commanded by Wei Wensheng. With the help of one of the Flying Tigers, the odds of winning have increased a lot.
Wei Wensheng said: "Yuan Shaoxia go back and prepare, tomorrow, gather at the north gate." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan thought of Wang Jiujiu's entrustment, and didn't know whether to mention this matter, so he didn't move.
Wei Wensheng saw him hesitate and said, "Is there anything else to do with Yuan Shaoxia?"
Lu Xiaoyuan said: "I heard that the general is going to re-test the people of the Recruitment Hall?"
