Chapter 22: Career Challenges for Craftsmen

Fang Yixin was choked again and could not speak.

Chu Feng put aside his thoughts and returned to those people: "You all come together, I need you to help me with something."

The two village chiefs of Niutouzhuang were very excited. They felt that they had finally managed to keep the clouds clear and look forward to the moonlight.

As long as we can overthrow the prefect, won't the good days of the people of Qinghe Prefecture also come?

Chu Feng had two requests. One was that they enter Niutou Village, and the other was that the village chief of Niutou Village contact other surrounding villages.

The current village chief was still a little hesitant, but the old village chief agreed without hesitation: "No problem."

Chu Feng glanced at the old village chief.

He still thinks there is something wrong with this old guy.

But he quickly forgot about the problems of these villagers, and instead quickly entered Niutou Village with Le Shu and others.

First, let people gather all the cattle in Niutou Village.

After walking around the cattle, Chu Feng made a bold conjecture: "We can use the cattle as war horses."

In this era, cattle are the life of farmers.

Sure enough, when this plan was first proposed, it encountered fierce opposition from the surrounding villagers.

But Chu Feng disagreed: "What are you thinking? I don't want these cattle to charge into the battle, but I need to use their brute force when attacking the city."

Chu Feng's words scared everyone.

Especially the old village chief who was about to contact other villages. He stuttered and said: "Sir, do you mean that we want to besiege Qinghe Mansion?"

Chu Feng nodded, but then shook his head: "Yes, and no, in short, you don't have to worry so much, just do as I say. Also, where is the carpenter in your village?"

Chu Feng turned around and focused his attention on Commander Yang.

Commander Yang felt a chill welling up all over his body, and then he stared at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng shrugged indifferently and turned to look at another golden-robed guard: "Brother, would you please take off your armor and lend it to me?"

But all Chu Feng got was a long silence.

Chu Feng was not surprised by this, so he looked at Commander Yang sadly.

First of all, Commander Yang knew that Chu Feng was a eunuch, and his alias was Chu Feng, and his real name was Xiao Chunzi.

Secondly, Commander Yang did not know that Chu Feng was a fake eunuch.

Staring at Chu Feng's sad expression, even Commander Yang, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, could not suppress the chills in his spine.

Commander Yang couldn't help but shudder, and then he compromised: "Do as he said."

Chu Feng smiled slightly at Commander Yang: "Thank you Commander Yang, you still understand what I mean."

He was very proud of this: "I can't beat you, but I can't help but feel disgusted with you? One day I will let you know what the Great Onmyoji is! What an honorary resident of Zu'an is!"

But Fang Yixin rarely said seriously: "What do you want the armor for?"

Chu Feng took the armor from the reluctant golden-robed guard, and then muttered: "It's not your weapon, nor is it your wife, why are you so distressed?"

Finally, he patted the armor on the cow's back: "I want the carpenter to make a pair of armor for the cow according to the size of the cow, but I'm afraid that he doesn't know what armor is, so I need a reference."

In this way, the safety of the cattle is naturally guaranteed.

But Chu Feng always felt a chill on his back.

Turning around suddenly, he suddenly found the golden-robed guard staring at him with an even sadder expression.

Chu Feng rubbed the goosebumps on his arms: "Don't look at me with that expression, and it's not dirty! Even if it is really dirty, then you can go back to Commander Yang and apply for a new one, isn't it?"

After all, it is the personal armor of the Golden Robe Guards. Commander Yang doesn't want his subordinates to wear it again. If word gets out, won't the reputation of their Red Feathered Golden Robe Guards be completely ruined?

"Okay, you just have to settle for now. When you get back to the capital, I'll have someone give you a new pair." Commander Yang's voice comforted the golden-robed guard.

Although the emotions of the golden-robed guards were calmed down, Commander Yang, who had an extra pair of armor for no apparent reason, was unhappy.

Finally, he pointed at Chu Feng: "Well, you don't have armor to protect yourself, so your defense is much lower. Just follow Chu Feng and you can take care of yourself."

Chu Feng turned around instantly. He now had a new understanding of Commander Yang's little belly.

If this golden-robed guard was really allowed to protect him personally, would Chu Feng have to die in fear on this journey?

Chu Feng cast his eyes on Fang Yixin and Le Shu for help, but received no response at all.

In desperation, he could only walk to another courtyard: "Come here."

Then he put a rein in the hands of the golden-robed guard: "Since you have to follow me all the way, then I will make you the General of the Ox and Horse Army, Bi Ma!"

Le Shu on the side said in confusion: "An ox and horse army?"

Chu Feng pointed to the cows in the distance, and then pointed to the 'horses' behind him: "Isn't the army of cows and horses vivid enough?"

Fang Yixin answered with a smile: "Both cows and horses are worthy of praise, but you are obviously a donkey, why are you called the cow and horse army?"

The golden-robed guard leading the donkey had a face longer than that of the donkey.

Chu Feng disagreed: "I know this is a donkey, but what does this have to do with the ox and horse army? Is it possible that you look down on donkeys?"

Fang Yixin stared at the messy Chu Feng, but Chu Feng did not give in.

Finally, the arrival of the carpenter broke the deadlock between the two.

Chu Feng patted the donkey's head, almost causing the golden-robed guard holding the reins to be kicked by the donkey.

Embarrassed, Chu Feng could only pretend that nothing happened and walked towards the carpenter: "Make a pair of armor for a cow? How long will it take you?"

The carpenter has been living for decades, and this is the first time he has heard such an exaggerated request.

He knocked on the cigarette rod in his hand, took out his ears, and then looked at Chu Feng with a pious expression: "Sir, are you kidding me?"

Noticing that the carpenter tilted his head slightly, as if he was listening attentively, Chu Feng asked curiously: "Is it difficult to understand?"

The carpenter instantly fell to his knees: "Sir, please let me go. I'm just a broken carpenter. How can I make armor?"

Fortunately, Chu Feng didn't originally place his hopes on a carpenter in a village.

After hearing these words, he flexibly made a concession: "How long will it take to make a set of movable wooden boxes to cover the cattle?"

It's still the same truth, being able to bend and stretch is a true man in Chu Feng's heart.

Upon hearing this new request, the carpenter wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I have to try this before I can do it."

Fortunately, although there are no wild animals in the mountain forest, there are still many trees.

After the old village chief notified the villages, the carpenter in front of Chu Feng finally produced a set of rough finished products.
