After being persuaded by everyone, Ling Zhen sighed and said: "I didn't want to join the army to conquer your army, so I might as well join the army now. My mother, wife and children are all in the capital. If anyone knows about it, they will be killed. I will come." I have already moved my family to my hometown in the countryside. I would be very grateful if I could take him to reunite with me."
Shi Jin smiled and patted Ling Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Brother Ling Zhen, please rest assured. I will send someone to come within a time limit to reunite with the commander."
Ling Zhen immediately thanked him and said: "If the commander-in-chief is so thoughtful, I will follow you to the death."
Wu Xuexue said: "We need to send three people to go to Beijing. One will go to Tokyo to buy pyrotechnic powder and medicinal materials used in the artillery, and the other two will go to collect Commander Ling's family."
When Peng Wei saw it, he stood up and said, "If someone comes to Yingzhou to get my younger brother's family and go up the mountain, I will truly worship him for his virtue."
Shi Jin patted Peng Wei on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, regiment coach, all such matters will be taken care of by us. I also asked you two to repair the book. I will send someone there right now."
Shi Jin immediately sent a few capable and capable assistants to quietly leave the city and secretly went to Bianliang, Tokyo to pick up Ling Zhen's family. Shi Jin arranged the matter and said, "Today, Ling Zhen surrendered to me, Lu Lin. It's a blessing. Congratulations, let’s hold a banquet to celebrate,”
The next day, a large number of leaders gathered in the hall. While drinking, Shi Jin discussed with everyone how to break the "chain horse". Everyone thought about it, but there was no good way. Suddenly, a sergeant came in and bowed outside the door and reported: "Report Commander, there is a good man outside the door who wants to see you."
"Oh," Shi Jin stood up, looked back at everyone and said, "Brothers, please enjoy yourself. I'll excuse you for a moment."
After saying this, Shi Jin left the table and went to the front yard. At the same time, he invited the man to come to the front hall to meet him.
Not a moment later, he saw a man in shabby clothes coming in behind the sergeant. Shi Jin looked around and saw that this man was only of average height, but his two exposed arms were extremely thick. He looked like he was taller than a man. Those thighs were strong. For such a strange man, his exposed skin was dotted with scars, which had an indescribable oozing effect. Shi Jin never judged people by their appearance. Although he looked at this man with a terrifying appearance, , Corporal Li Xian welcomed the man in. When the man saw Shi Jin, he bowed his head. Shi Jin helped him up and gave him tea.
"May I ask this dear friend his name?"
"Commander, the younger one's surname is Tang, and his last name is Long. Because he has been working for generations, he has been covered in sparks and burns, so he is nicknamed Golden Leopard by the people in the world," Tang Long said.
When Shi Jin heard this, although he didn't know the man's name, he still said politely: "I've admired him for a long time, I don't know...brother, why are you here? If there is anyone Shi Jin can help with, just say hello."
"Don't dare. I heard from old news about the great commander's reputation. I heard that the commander is recruiting wise men and warriors. I came here just hoping that the commander would not give up and accept me as a pawn," Tang Long said.
Shi Jin nodded and said with a smile: "Just now you said that you have been forging iron for generations."
"Yes, Xiao Ke has been making a living by making weapons for generations. Because of his skill, his late father met with an old man and became the master of the village in Yan'an," Tang Long said. "Xiao Ke learned his skills from his late father, because I like to dance with guns and sticks, and I also have martial arts skills. Later, I got into a dispute with a local tycoon and killed him by mistake, so I escaped in the rivers and lakes. I arrived here a few days ago, but I didn't want to encounter the commander attacking the city. I immediately packed up my house and came to seek refuge."
When Shi Jin heard this, he became more and more happy. He went on a series of battles. What he needed most now was weapons. Now that he had such a talented man, how could he not make Shi Jin happy? He immediately put his arms around Tang Long's shoulders and took him to the banquet in the back hall. Come up and introduce yourself to everyone, and then please take a seat.
When Shi Jin came back, everyone talked about the unfinished conversation. After all, Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horse formations was outside the East City. If it was not broken for one day, Shi Jin would not be able to attack Chang'an. Just when everyone was at their wits' end, the Golden Leopard who had just arrived at the table Tang Long stood up and said: "What the elder brothers just said was a chain horse."
"That's right," Wu Yong looked at Tang Long, because he seemed to understand the meaning behind Tang Long's words.
Sure enough, Tang Long clasped his hands and said, "I'm not talented, but I'm willing to offer my advice."
"Oh," Shi Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought, God is helping me.
"We need to create a special weapon. In addition, we need a brother of mine who can break through Hu Yanzhuo's 'Serial Armored Horse'" Tang Long said word by word.
Wu Xuexue then asked: "Brother, tell me what kind of weapons you use, and who is your brother?"
Tang Long calmly crossed his arms and said to the generals: "I told the commander-in-chief before that Xiao Ke has been making weapons for a living for generations, and his father was promoted by his father-in-law. , became the Zhizhai of Yan'an. The previous dynasties had used this 'serial armored horse' to win. When breaking the formation, it was necessary to use the 'hook and sickle gun' to break it. Tang Long's ancestral weapon records are all on Xiao's body, and there are already paintings This is here, if you want to build it, you can start." As he said that, Tang Long unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a body of strong muscles, and on the brown skin, there were all kinds of strange lines tattooed on it. Those lines It looks intricate and complicated, and to laymen, it looks like it is covered with very intimidating tattoos. However, in the eyes of experts, clues can be seen in these lines. Tang Long said: "These are the weapons passed down from my ancestors. The chest and back are covered with weapons, not to mention all kinds of things, even those heretics and powerful mechanisms are all available, and the hook, sickle, and spear that I just mentioned are also on this body."
It was already an eye-opener for everyone, but after hearing it this time, it became even more amazing.
Tang Long put on his clothes and said: "However, although I can make it, I can't use it. If anyone can do it, no one else can do it except my uncle and brother."
"I would like to hear the name of this hero," Shi Jin said.
Tang Long replied: "In the Song Dynasty, he was the only one who knew how to use the hook, sickle and spear technique. This is a skill passed down from his family. He does not teach outsiders. Whether it is on horseback or on foot, it is the rule. The master is elusive. ,"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Chong asked: "Could it be that... I met Xu Ning, the teacher of the Golden Gun class?"
Tang Long responded: "It's this person."
Lin Chong said: "If you didn't mention it, I would have almost forgotten that Xu Ning's 'Golden Spear Technique' and 'Hook and Sickle Spear Technique' are unparalleled in the world. We met when we were in the capital, we competed in martial arts, and we respect each other." Love each other; just how to invite him to come,"
Tang Long thought for a moment and said: "Xu Ning has a treasure passed down from his ancestors. It is unparalleled in the world. It is his family treasure. When Tang Long was a child, he accompanied his father to Tokyo to visit his aunt. He had seen it many times. It was like this. This armor is made of golden feathers. When worn on the body, this armor is light and stable. It can't be penetrated by swords and arrows. People call it "Sai Tang Ni". In the old days, many noble princes asked for platinum in exchange for a visit. , my aunt and brother refused to show it to anyone. This armor was his life. It was contained in a leather box and hung on the beam of the bedroom. If he could get his armor, he would not be able to get it. Come here, but I’m afraid it’s not easy to get this armor.”
After hearing this, Wu Yong pinched his beard and smiled and said: "If that's the case, why is it so difficult? There are experts in the Green Forest Army. Brother Shi Qian is here, and now I have to ask you to go out and make this trip."
Shi Qian has never shown off since he secretly took charge of the organization [Jue]. He was sitting aside today and listened to what the military advisor said, and then he immediately responded: "I'm afraid that the clothes and armor are not on the beam. If there is a time, , I’m afraid it will take a lot of effort, so I just grab it at random,”
Tang Long didn't believe it after hearing this, and immediately said: "If you steal the armor, I will definitely be able to get him to join the gang."
When Shi Jin heard this, he felt happy again and asked, "How do you get him to join the gang?"
Tang Long whispered a few words in Shi Jin's ear.
Shi Jin then smiled and said, "This is a great plan."
When the banquet was over, Shi Jin sent Kui'er to get the gold and silver letters, and led a few companions out of the city. Four of them went to Yingzhou to pick up General Peng Fei, young and old, and four more elites pretended to be gun and stick wielders and medicine sellers. , went to Tokyo to meet with Commander Ling, the young and old; in addition, Kui Er pretended to be a merchant and led four elite companions dressed as clerks to Tokyo to buy fireworks materials and other items.
In addition, Tang Long and Shi Qian agreed on a strategy and meeting place. Shi Jin had other important matters to attend to, so he sent Shi Qian down the mountain first, and then asked Tang Long to make a prototype of a hook and sickle gun. , taught Lei Heng to ask the blacksmiths in the army to work together to build it according to the model. After Tang Long confirmed that the weapon was well-made, he said goodbye and went down the mountain.
The next day, Shi Jin sent out a large number of detectives to inquire about things.
Shi Qian left the ground of Jingzhao Mansion, hid a hidden weapon beside him, and took a shortcut to Tokyo. Shi Qian had been to Tokyo before, but after a few years, when he looked at it again, he looked different. It was a glorious and lively time.
Shi Qian walked through the streets and finally found an inn in the east of Tokyo, Wuyue Inn. This inn was converted from a large house with three entrances and three exits. Although it was just opened a month ago, there are many guest rooms inside. It's been a few years, but fortunately the environment is clean, the service is prompt, and the prices are fair. This is the place of choice for those who travel south and north, especially those who are green and forest heroes who travel around the world.
Shi Qian walked in and posted a message and settled down.
The next day, Shi Qian was wandering on the street and randomly asked someone about the home of Xu Ning, the teacher of the golden gun class. Someone pointed out: "In the alley over there, the fifth black corner door to the east is the one. "
Shi Qian turned into the alley and looked at the front door first; then he looked for the way to look at the door, and saw a high wall with the same color. Looking over the wall, he could vaguely see two small buildings, and to the side was a Root pillar.
Shi Qian looked at it once, then went to the neighbor and asked, "Brother, do you think Coach Xu is at home?"
The man responded: "You are here to compete with him, right? Coach Xu didn't go home until evening, and went to work with the class at five o'clock."
Shi Qian thanked him and went back to the inn, picked up his clothes and hid them beside him.
