Chapter 43 State Generals
Liuyunzhou is an important military camp in Guzhou City. The city wall is five or three feet high and the city head is about two feet wide. A wide moat in front of the city makes the entire Guzhou City look extremely tall and sturdy. The city walls are covered with soldiers looking out and guarding the city. From time to time, a group of gunmen patrolling in front of the city gate. The city gate is wide and people are constantly entering and leaving, but it is orderly and smooth. The door is engraved with three big words "Liuyunzhou".
After entering the prefecture city, Lu Tong found an inn and asked the clerk to go and send a message to the government. In the evening, the clerk came back and said that he would let Lu Tong stay in the inn for one night and send someone to pick him up tomorrow.
The next morning, a luxurious carriage came to the inn. A strong and heroic young man respectfully invited Lu Chong into the carriage. The carriage walked around the city along the wide road in the city. After about an hour, he finally arrived at a huge mansion with the two words "Su Mansion" written on the plaque.
When I walked through the front hall and came to the living room, I saw a beautiful maid looking at Lu Tong with a smile. Lu Tong looked at him carefully before recognizing that it was the generous Yan'er. Yan'er smiled and said, "I finally hope you. You sit for a while, and I'll inform the lady." After that, he hurriedly left.
After a while, Lu Tong heard the familiar rhythm of footsteps. When she turned around, she saw a fair and beautiful face, which was still elegant and elegant green, and her bright big eyes shining with the charm of Gu Pan's affection. This was Su Yunxiu, the slender and calm girl.
Su Yunxiu sat down slowly and said to Lu Tong: "Teacher Lu Tong has worked hard all the way. My father is rushing back from the garrison. Since he saw the two-wing cone you made last time, he has been thinking about talking to you."
When Lu Chong heard her name, he realized that they had already known some of his situation in Qinghe City, so he said, "Ms. Su doesn't need to call me like this. When he was in the assessment in Qinghe City that day, he was just angry and just succeeded by chance."
Su Yunxiu thought to himself that Lu Tong was calm and said, "Okay, I will call you Mr. Lu in the future. Don't call me Miss Su, just call me Yunxiu! If Mr. Lu hadn't sacrificed himself to save him last time, I'm afraid Yunxiu would no longer be alive."
After the two opened the box of restraints, they talked casually. Yan'er interjected a few words from time to time and added tea to them several times. Time passed slowly, and it was noon.
At this time, Lu Tong heard a burst of rapid footsteps from outside. When he looked up, a middle-aged man with extremely strong body had already stepped into the living room. He looked at them and laughed loudly: "Yun Xiu, is this Mr. Lu Tong? Not bad, it's better to meet him than to be famous! He is young but very steady, not bad."
Su Yunxiu immediately stood up and said, "Dad, he is his daughter's savior, Mr. Lu Chong." Lu Chong also stood up and bowed to Su Jianzhong.
Su Jianzhong waved his hand and said, "Okay, sit down quickly. Teacher Lu Tong is not only kind to me, but also has good skills. I will accompany you today." As he said that, he turned to Su Yunxiu and said, "Please come out too! Don't recite those useless scriptures all day long. Teacher Lu Tong is a rare distinguished guest in our family, so you must make good arrangements."
Su Yunxiu agreed to leave with Yan'er, and only Su Jianzhong and Lu Tong were left in the hall. Su Jianzhong looked at Lu Tong who was sitting in a dangerous manner and said, "Relax, don't mind if I call you Xiao Tong! Actually, I also know a little about your Lu family. Our Su family is in a silk business. The relationships inside and outside the family are very complicated now. It is really not easy to cultivate a powerful disciple, but you shocked the Lu family for a while."
Lu Chong recalled the situation at that time and thought that the private battle between the two sides would inevitably be fierce, which made him feel a little silent.
Su Jianzhong continued, "This also makes you a little embarrassed. I found out that the second wing cone was made by you when you were in the Lufang South Courtyard in Huanglong City. Later, I got the two wing cone you improved from the Changxing Escort Agency. The power can exceed the firing distance of six meters and the attack effect is pretty good, so I was considering it can be used in the army. I know this is your private production by avoiding the Lu family, and I don't care about that much. You can stay with me first, and follow me to the garrison tomorrow morning to experience it, and then determine the cooperation content of the two wing cone."
Lu Tong lived in the Su Mansion that day. During lunch, she met Su Yunxiu's mother under Su Jianzhong's arrangement, three concubines and four younger siblings. Su Yunxiu's mother was a dignified and kind woman. The three aunts all looked young and beautiful, but the four younger siblings were a little clever.
Before the sky was clear, Lu Chong was called up. When he arrived at the front yard, Su Jianzhong had already prepared the horses. After Lu Chong got on the horse, Su Jianzhong gave orders, more than ten war horses ran towards the outside of the city at a rapid speed.
After less than an hour of running wildly, the group arrived at a mountain. An extremely vast camp appeared in front of them. After the war horses rushed through the gate quickly, everyone jumped off the horse. Soldiers had already come to lead all the horses away. Su Jianzhong couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw Lu Chong adjusting his breath at a constant speed.
At this time, the sky was just dawning, and the barracks had already been lined up in the military camp. On the east were infantry with steadily adjusting steps, holding a spear in his hand and assassinating forward violently. The entire array showed a cold air. On the west was an archer array, which was divided into three rows, one row of lying shots, one row of squatting shots, and one row of standing shots. On the east were three rows of shooting in order, continuous and extremely lethal.
The cavalry in the south, holding a sharp sword in the distance, flew over the various obstacles set up, rushed to a group of wooden dummies, and looked at the dummies with the sword in their hands. They saw the limbs of the wooden dummies spread out and their heads were thrown up. After the team quickly bypassed, they flew everywhere in the air with dust and wood chips.
This battle scene of thousands of people made Lu Chong feel excited. In these countless bloody kills, how mighty and spectacular it was to take down the heads of the enemy generals among the thousands of troops! Lu Chong thought in a daze, and was actually excited by the excitement and excitement of this passionate scene.
Su Jianzhong observed Lu Chong's expression and nodded. At this time, the entire military camp became quiet. An officer ran to Su Jianzhong and shouted: "Report to General Su, you have already been in line. Please inspect."
Su Jianzhong glanced at the entire queue and said to the soldiers in a loud voice: "Okay, today's performance has improved. Go for breakfast first, then practice in groups." The entire army roared in unison and then scattered in an orderly manner.
Su Jianzhong took Lu Chong to another smaller camp, where there were many people shouting loudly. Su Jianzhong introduced Lu Chong: "This is the recruitment office of the army and the management office of the backup army. Let's go and have a look."
When he arrived at the venue, Lu Chong saw that the entire venue was divided into several large pieces. Some people were projecting, some were riding and shooting, some were throwing guns into the distance, and some were cheering and roaring in the distance. The scene was very lively.
At this time, Su Jianzhong turned to Lu Chong and said, "I heard that when your Lu family was learning wooden tools skills, they also required physical skills training. I wonder if Xiao Chong was not interested in going up and giving it a try?"
When Lu Chong heard this, he knew that Su Jianzhong was giving him a chance, so he nodded and agreed.
Su Jianzhong waved to an officer next to him. The officer immediately brought a person to the recruitment office. After saluting Su Jianzhong, he said seriously to Lu Chong: "We are mainly recruiting new recruits here. You can fill out a form with me first. I will explain the recruitment method to you."
As he said that, he led Lu Chong to a registered room, took out the form and asked Lu Chong to fill in it. After Lu Chong finished filling out the form, he looked at it and said in surprise: "You are only fourteen years old! The assessment of new recruits in our army is difficult. You are an acquaintance of General Su! But we are very strict here. If you really pass the assessment, you should be the smallest soldier here."
Although the recruiting official revealed a little contempt in his words, Lu Chong listened to his explanation very calmly. After listening to it, he realized that it was much more difficult than expected to become a new recruit. He had to go through the three levels of assessment. The first level was to assess the accuracy of the arrows, the second level was to assess the degree of riding and shooting, and the third level also had to assess the throwing distance of the iron gun. Only by meeting the requirements of all three items could they become a new recruit.
