Lu Xu originally thought that after solving Wen Zian, he would be able to start a good career in Wei'an Fort.
But I never thought that a new challenge would come again!
During the day, when Lu Xu was settling in the craftsmen's households, he heard from them that they saw bandits on their way here. If there weren't so many people in their group and they were escorted by the government and the army, bandits would probably come.
Robbed them.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Xu immediately became alert.
In fact, Lu Xu had thought of it when he and Wen Zian were explaining the structure of Li Hu, Niu Er and his small team of three. Li Hu was chosen as the leader, probably because the core appeal above was related to Green Forest Road.
Now that he heard that the craftsmen saw bandits on the road, he was even more sure. Ordinary bandits would have run far away when they saw the army escorting a team of more than 2,000 people. How could they dare to show their faces?
Not to mention being seen by some ordinary people.
The fact that these craftsmen can see bandits means that the bandits around here have become extremely rampant, and Lu Xu has to guard against them!
So Lu Xu quickly led people to check the armament situation of Wei'an Fort.
As a result, when he arrived at the weapons depot, others were stunned on the spot!
Niu Er was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Are we just told to fight with these things?"
While talking, Niu Er also picked up something that looked like armor and waved it around: "Can something like this costume be used for fighting? Doesn't this mean we will die?"
Lu Xu himself was also frowning. He did not expect that Wei'an Fort's armament was so poor.
In fact, when everyone first came to Wei'an Fort, the weapons warehouse had already been filled up. At that time, everyone just took a cursory look and felt that the equipment in the warehouse was all shiny and good.
But when everyone took a closer look this time, they discovered that the equipment was all fake!
Lu Xu took a long gun. The length of the gun was quite good, about four meters long, but when he weighed it, Lu Xu felt it was too light.
Lu Xu frowned, flipped his wrist and touched the ground with the tip of his gun.
"Crack!"
The four-meter-long spear broke easily!
Niu Er was also angry when he saw this scene. He raised his hands and exerted force, and the mighty-looking armor was torn into two halves easily.
Lu Xu sighed: "Brother Niu is right, these things are indeed costumes."
Lu Xu knew without asking, where did these things come from?
There was something like this in the past dynasties of the Blue Star Xia Kingdom, using wood pieces disguised as iron pieces to make iron armor, and using light and brittle wood to make guns.
The troops equipped with this kind of equipment were all fake troops used to prop up their appearance during the end of the dynasty. Lu Xu really didn't expect that the superiors would actually give those fake equipment to the frontline soldiers!
Lu Xu was really convinced by this operation!
But he couldn't accept his fate, because accepting his fate would be equivalent to waiting for death. So he said to Niu Er: "Of course the above-mentioned craftsmen who gave us so many craftsmen were not given in vain. Since the ready-made equipment doesn't work, let's make it ourselves!"
Lu Xu is an expert in surviving in the apocalypse. If he wants to survive in the apocalypse, he must know how to make weapons for himself, so this matter is really not difficult for him.
But if he wanted to do this well, he had to talk to the leaders of the craftsmen. Since the craftsmen arrived, Wei'an Castle has had two top officials.
One is Lu Xu, the team officer of the military households, and the other is Jiang Zhengcheng, the head of the craftsmen households.
According to Daliang's laws, the military chief in the battle fort is only responsible for defense and public security, and everything else is subject to the chief executive. However, in wartime, the military chief must take the lead in everything.
Therefore, there is no distinction between two people who are both the lowest-ranking officials in Daliang and cannot even be considered officials. Lu Xu feels that at this time of life and death, he should cooperate with Jiang Zhengcheng.
On the way to visit Jiang Zhengcheng, he had already thought of a complete plan.
By the time Lu Xu arrived at Jiang Zhengcheng's home, their family had already settled in, and Jiang Zhengcheng was lecturing the juniors in his family.
He is an old craftsman in his sixties or seventies. Unlike other craftsmen, his family has many literate people, and because he has been the leader of the craftsmen for generations, his family background is pretty good.
This time, everyone was sent to this place of death for various reasons. Everyone felt uncomfortable. Jiang Zhengcheng summoned his nephews and nephews to discuss how to stabilize people's hearts.
Just then, he heard Lu Xu's visit.
Hearing Lu Xu's name, Jiang Zhengcheng frowned instinctively, with a look of caution on his face.
Jiang Zhengcheng's son Jiang Wenhao quickly asked: "Dad, what is he doing here at this time?"
Jiang Zhengcheng's eyes were sharp: "Logically speaking, they arrived before us. After we settled down, we should go to see them first. But now he takes the initiative to visit us. I guess there is nothing good going on. I'm afraid he wants to fight.
We were caught off guard, right?"
Jiang Wenhao said: "Dad, are you saying that the person who came here is evil?"
Jiang Zhengcheng nodded: "Most of the time, it's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided."
Lu Xu obviously underestimated the vigilance and hostility of people of this era towards these "thieves".
He forgot a basic common sense. To the people of a decadent dynasty, the officers and soldiers were often more terrifying than the bandits. Not to mention, Lu Xu was a convicted person.
However, he still felt Jiang Zhengcheng's distrust and even hostility towards him the first time he met Jiang Zhengcheng.
Because when Lu Xu said that in order to guard against bandits, he needed Jiang Zhengcheng to help them build suitable equipment, Jiang Zhengcheng just said lightly: "This is what the craftsmen like me should do, but Captain Lu just doesn't come to the door in person.
, I will also discuss this matter with the road team officer tomorrow."
"Now that the road team officer has taken the initiative to come to the door, this matter will be taken care of by the little old man."
Lu Xu narrowed his eyes. He didn't believe that Jiang Zhengcheng didn't know how big a threat those bandits who dared to show their faces in front of the officers and soldiers pose to Wei'an Fort? Then he should know how important the preparations made to guard against bandits are?
But Jiang Zhengcheng was so careless. He didn't even ask what equipment Lu Xu wanted. He just agreed and told Lu Xu to leave quickly. Lu Xu was not stupid. Of course he could see Jiang Zhengcheng's distrust and hostility.
.
Therefore, Lu Xu's tone was slightly cold: "Child Jiang, don't rush to agree. Regarding the equipment, I still have some ideas to discuss with Chief Jiang."
When Jiang Zhengcheng heard this, he secretly exclaimed, "Sure enough."
Jiang Zhengcheng could also hear Lu Xu's unkind tone, and Lu Xu's apparent intention to make a request reinforced Jiang Zhengcheng's judgment that Lu Xu was an unkind person.
This meeting between the two of them is destined not to be pleasant!
