Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Hu Sanniang shook her head and said: "My husband, I have armor, but it is just an inner armor. It has been kept in a box. My husband has never seen it."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "This inner armor cannot protect the whole body. Let Hou Jian make two good ones specially for Sanniang. How about making both leather armor and iron armor?"

Hu Sanniang said: "My husband is the one who makes the decision." After saying that, Hu Sanniang picked up the order written by Zhao Zhen and was about to take people to choose horses.

Zhao Zhen was about to speak when he saw the white fox Bai Shuang, whom he had not seen for many days, leading two dogs and two tigers, followed by the dirty Li Ji, into the hall.

I saw the white fox walking up to Zhao Zhen with his head raised, pointing at Li Ji and yelling.

Li Ji quickly stepped forward, handed over a piece of tree bark he was holding in his hand, and said: "Master, I followed Bai Shuang and the five of them, walked around in the mist, and found this ginseng. "

Zhao Zhen opened the bark of the tree and pushed aside the turf, and he discovered that it was also a century-old ginseng. It was only a second-level ginseng, far inferior to the previous one, but it was still a rare treasure.

Zhao Zhen first praised the white fox and asked Zhao Yuanli to have the five little ones cleaned. He also rewarded Li Ji and asked him to go home and rest. This fresh ginseng was sent to a medical clinic to be processed and preserved.

After the arrangements were made, Hu Sanniang said: "Sir, this white fox is so smart, it can even hunt for treasures. Dogs and tigers have actually become its followers."

Zhao Zhen said: "Foxes are the smartest, and Baishuang is an auspicious beast. Although they are not as good as two Liangshan thin dogs in fighting, but in terms of perspective, if these spiritual species in the family are tied together, they may not be as good as Baishuang."

Hu Sanniang asked: "Ms. sir, where do you usually keep white foxes?"

Zhao Zhen said: "You have seen the two mastiffs at Madam Cheng Wan'er's residence. They usually patrol the manor and look after the homes and courtyards. These two tigers have also been raised since childhood. Although they are larger than these two thin dogs, It’s a pity that I haven’t seen blood yet.”

Hu Sanniang said: "Ms. sir, how about keeping these two thin dogs in my room? I have loved hunting since I was a child, and I am very rare when I see prosperity. Now I see these two again, and they are kept by my side. Good hunting.”

Zhao Zhen said: "Go and tell the eldest lady, after all, he has been raised in her room."

Hu Sanniang rolled her eyes and said, "I say what I say." After saying that, she got up and went to Cheng Wan'er's residence.

Zhao Zhen ignored it and asked Zhao Xing to take out twenty or thirty kilograms of second-order green water python meat from the ice cellar, steam it until it was half-cooked, and send it over.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Xing led a villager over carrying a bucket of meat. Zhao Zhen said hello, and the three of them also went to the house on the top of the mountain.

The seven little ones Bai Shuang, Wu La, Wu Na, and Fu Lu Shou Xi were all in the hall. Zhao Zhen asked Qing Zhu to take out their respective food bowls and put them on the ground, and knocked on the wooden door. Qi Xiao only raised his head and stared at Zhao Zhen.

Seeing Zhao Zhen taking meat out of the bucket, he immediately rushed to sit in front of his food bowl. Zhao Zhen started with Bai Shuang, put the meat into the basin, and did not forget to praise it.

This advanced snake meat would not be enjoyed by these spiritual species on ordinary days. On weekdays, only Zhao Zhen and his wife enjoy it every few days. There are so many good men in the county, and they only give three to five kilograms per month. Only by making a feast every time can all the good men enjoy it.

After finishing this meal of snake meat, the melancholy white fox suddenly became energetic. Depending on the situation, she wanted to go out to hunt for treasures without Zhao Zhen urging her.

Zhao Zhen was watching the spirit species eating and playing around downstairs. Bursts of laughter could be heard from upstairs, and it was unclear what the two of them were talking about.

Zhao Zhen was about to go up when he saw Zhao Yuanli coming in and said, "Sir, steward Tang Long has returned and is waiting in the hall. He is accompanied by more than 20 soldiers and more than 10 chariots."

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed, got up and walked down the mountain to the meeting hall. In my heart, I thought that Tang Long had invited the golden gun class teacher [Golden Gun] Xu Ning.

On the school grounds, more than twenty military men were escorting the car. A woman was holding a little baby in her hand, looking around.

Zhao Zhen took a look, asked Zhao Yuanli to bring drinks to quench the thirst of these soldiers, and hurriedly entered the meeting hall.

I saw Tang Long talking with a big man. As soon as he saw this big man, Zhao Zhen knew that this person was not Xu Ning.

Lin Chong once said that this [Golden Gunner] Xu Ning was only six feet five six tall, with a round white face, three thin teeth, a black mustache, and a very thin waist and broad shoulders. There is a big difference in appearance between this man and Xu Ning.

After meeting Li, Tang Long introduced him. This person turned out to be [Hang Tian Lei] Ling Zhen.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother Tang Long, how do you invite Brother Ling Zhen?"

Tang Long said: "Daguanren, I met my brother and sister-in-law and stayed there for a few days during this trip to visit relatives. My brother Xu Ning was very happy when he heard that I had made a fortune at Daguanren's place. He kept playing with me all over Tokyo. A few days."

"I saw that my brother was carefree in Tokyo and could not open his mouth. I wanted to find some unlucky heroes in Tokyo. I spent two days asking around like a headless fly. When my brother saw me like this, he told me: Living in Tokyo is not easy. However, This place is the most prosperous. After coming here, few people want to leave. Please don’t have any illusions.”

"Although I was not convinced, I inquired for two days and found out that it was indeed what my brother said. I had to give up my thoughts. Unexpectedly, when my brother saw that I was depressed, he actually introduced me to many heroes in the army. This is how I got to know Brother Ling Zhen."

Ling Zhen said: "I heard from Brother Tang Long that there are nearly fifty cannons of various colors here, and seven to eight hundred muskets, which I have never seen before. I was not convinced and invited Brother Tang Long to go to the armory. After looking at the Zimu Cannon, Golden Wheel Cannon, Wind Fire Cannon, Carriage Cannon, and Sky Boom Cannon, I never thought that Brother Tang Long would say that although my cannon can shoot far, the damage is not enough. Thirty steps to break armor."

"Although I didn't believe it, I was tempted to come and see it after seeing Brother Tang Long's words were so sure. Originally, I was the only one who wanted to come, but Brother Tang Long said that this was a siege weapon, unique, and the master would never let outsiders see it. I suspected that he was talking nonsense after drinking, so I didn't care. But when I thought about the way he swore, it didn't seem fake. The next day I went to Teacher Xu's house to find him, and Brother Tang Long still said the same thing."

"Then I gritted my teeth and resigned from my position. Before leaving, I recruited these trusted craftsmen outside. And with my status, I purchased these gunpowder and carefully transported them all the way."

"Master, are there really cannons and bird guns as Brother Tang Long said? ? "

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Tang Long is right. There are indeed three powerful and invincible general cannons, ten Portuguese cannons, thirty mountain-splitting cannons, ten Weiyuan general cannons, and five sub-cannons. There are thousands of bird guns and three-eyed guns. They are all made of copper and iron. The general cannon shells weigh eight pounds. One shot can make a hole the size of a wheel on the city wall. The mountain-splitting cannons and Weiyuan general cannons are mortars, which can fire more than a hundred pellets at a time, and they are invincible. "

"Brother, you have come a long way and worked hard. Take a rest today. I will hold a banquet to welcome you in the evening. I will take you to the camp to test the cannons tomorrow."

As he said this, he asked Zhao Yuanli to arrange for Ling Zhen and his group to stay, and Zhao Zhen kept Tang Long in the hall to talk.
