Ning Chen Ling Xiao

Ling Xiao woke up early the next day, Chu Yifeng didn't sleep well, and would get under the quilt when he fell asleep, and now his head had reached Ling Xiao's abdomen, Ling Xiao laughed, and carefully hugged Chu Yifeng to make him lie down, Chu Yifeng opened his mouth slightly, Ling Xiao couldn't help scratching the corners of his mouth, Chu Yifeng frowned and turned his head away, Ling Xiao smiled, gently lifted the quilt and got off the bed.

Ling Xiao went out and opened the door. Bihe Longxiang and all the maids had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Ling Xiao opened the door, he hurriedly saluted. Knowing that Chu Yifeng must not have woken up, he put his hands and feet lightly, serving Ling Xiao Washing and dressing, Ling Xiao paused while combing his hair, and said in a low voice, "Just tie it into a ponytail."

Bi He bowed her head in response, Ling Xiao gently twisted the jade pendant around her waist, and said, "I'm going to ride a horse today, so find some light clothes."

After hearing this, Luan Xiang hurriedly sent out the clothes she was about to put down, and after a while brought a set of black martial robes, Ling Xiao turned his head to look at it and nodded: "That's it."

All the servant girls were very quick, and they were all cleaned up in a short while, Luan Xiang said softly: "Breakfast is already packed, should Xiangye eat first or wait for the prince?"

"Let's eat together in a while, let's go first." Ling Xiao got up, took a book, sat on the couch and flipped through it casually, looked at the sun when he read almost half of the book, went inside and pulled up the bed curtain, Chu Yifeng was fascinated He opened his eyes in a daze: "What...how long is it?"

"It's time, get up." Ling Xiao pulled Chu Yifeng up, and the maids outside also filed in to help Chu Yifeng wash up. Chu Yifeng woke up from a nap, looked at Ling Xiao's attire and smiled, "Why are you dressed like this today?"

Ling Xiao smiled: "Today I will go to the army with you. Your soldiers have been training for several months. I will go and see how it is."

"Really?" Chu Yifeng laughed, "Okay then, let's go to Yanzi Forest together after the afternoon. They said there are roe deer and rabbits there, and there aren't any beasts, but that's fine. Bring something back."

Ling Xiao nodded: "Listen to you."

After everything was packed, the two went to the army together. The sergeants in the army had also heard of Ling Xiao. At first, they thought that Ling Xiang was just the prince's male favorite, so he must be neither male nor female. I met many people today. They were all surprised, Ling Xiang was stunningly beautiful, but he didn't have a powdery look, and even that heroic spirit didn't let the prince, the sergeants looked at each other, whoever said this was a child molester, this was too bad.

Ling Xiao never cared about these things, and he didn't care much when he saw that others were looking at him, so he could just watch if he wanted to, but Chu Yifeng felt a little concerned, and said vigilantly: "Many people are looking at you, what do you mean..."

Ling Xiao laughed, and said softly: "It's okay, where is Lu Weishan?"

"Over there, come." Chu Yifeng's clothes today were picked by Ling Xiao. The black martial robe embroidered with golden flood patterns, the gold embroidered waist, and black martial boots are both heroic and noble, but they look more handsome than Ling Xiao. Like the imperial city 'Ling Xiaohou Ye' look.

Lu Weishan was still training soldiers, and when he saw Chu Yifeng and Ling Xiao coming, he hurriedly saluted. According to their official ranks, Ling Xiao and Lu Weishan had one literary and one military counterpart, so it was hard to say who was higher in rank than the other. Lu Weishan knew that he was not as strong as Ling Xiao , took the initiative to salute, Ling Xiao hurriedly stopped him, and said with a smile: "This is in the army, there are not so many vain courtesy. Speaking of which, General Lu once studied under his uncle, and he is even more intimate. In the future, we can avoid these vain courtesy when we meet."

Lu Weishan said: "Master Wei taught me a lot, but unfortunately I am just a vulgar person, and I don't understand many things. Now I have talked a lot with the prince to understand."

"General Lu is too modest." Ling Xiao smiled and asked Lu Weishan to continue. He and Chu Yifeng stood aside. Chu Yifeng showed Ling Xiao what he was doing and what he was doing. Ling Xiao didn't know much about what he heard, but just smiled and watched Chu Yifeng pointing Jiangshan.

Not long after Chu Yifeng wanted to come to the end of the scene by himself, Ling Xiao smiled and said: "You go, I will go and see by myself."

"Well, do you want someone to follow you?" Chu Yifeng wanted to call his own soldiers over, but Ling Xiao quickly smiled and said, "Don't make it public, I can still lose it, you go." Chu Yifeng nodded in response.

Ling Xiao strolled slowly by himself. Today he was dressed casually, and he didn't show much in the army. He first went to the cooking room to take a look. It was past meal time, and several chefs and helpers were walking around slowly. They were doing work and chatting, when they saw Ling Xiao walking over, the first one raised his eyes to take a look, but without getting up, he said slowly, "Are you hungry?"

Ling Xiao thought it was funny, these people must have regarded him as a soldier here, so he nodded: "A little bit."

The master stood up and walked in, muttering as he walked: "How many times have I said, be careful when eating, but there are some things that are out of tune..." Then he took out a pancake and handed it to Ling Xiao, saying: "Eat Well, be careful next time."

Ling Xiao was taken aback, smiled and took a bite of the pancake and started to eat it, and said with a smile: "I heard that in this military camp, meals are not allowed before meal time, does this count as a violation of military discipline?"

The master smiled: "Are you new here? Let me tell you, our lord is kind, and he said that the barracks are full of young people. They are at the age of eating a lot. They may be tired from training on weekdays. We will save some pancakes for you to fill in."

Ling Xiao chewed the pancakes and felt relieved. Chu Yifeng didn't care about small things in the army, but he often did these things to win people's hearts. After eating the pancakes, Ling Xiao thanked him and turned to leave. They were all chosen from 20 to [-] years old. Ling Xiao was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with the cooking. Now Chu Yifeng can handle it better than himself.

Ling Xiao went to the armory room again. He and Chu Yifeng had spent a lot of money in the military barracks, and the weapons were good enough. Not long after, Chu Yifeng came and said with a smile, "What are you doing? Are you hungry? If not, let's eat first."

"I just asked for some pancakes in the kitchen, so I'm not hungry anymore." Ling Xiao asked Chu Yifeng to approach, pointing to a crossbow lane, "How many kinds of crossbows do we have now?"

Chu Yifeng was stunned for a moment: "A horned crossbow, a wooden crossbow, and a large wooden crossbow."

Ling Xiao tried the strings of a ballista, and asked, "What about the range?"

"The horned crossbow is 120 feet long, the wooden crossbow is [-] feet long, and the large wooden crossbow is the most powerful. It can shoot [-] feet." Chu Yifeng took a piece of coarse cloth and wrapped it around the string of the crossbow cart, and pulled it hard, and it moved a little. , smiled, "I can't say how many stones, each ballista is different, I can't feel it even if I can't pull it."

Ling Xiao nodded and pondered: "The farthest is only 120 feet..."

"Isn't that 'talent'?!" Chu Yifeng smiled, "Originally our barracks were not allowed to equip large wooden crossbows, and they were all taken care of by Wu Ji."

Ling Xiao laughed at himself: "It's because I don't understand the market, let's go."

Chu Yifeng followed up, and said with a smile: "I didn't make it clear just now, where are we going to eat lunch? It will be late when we go back from hunting, but I'm afraid the meals in the army are not to your liking. You just said you ate pancakes? Do you eat pancakes?" "

"Why can't I eat it." Ling Xiao smiled, "The master there gave it to me when I went to see it in the cooking room. You did a good job. We don't have many sergeants here, so we don't have to follow many red tapes. It's good to be flexible. "

Chu Yifeng smiled and said nothing, and took Ling Xiao to eat in his tent. The meals in the army were simple, but the two still ate a lot.

"Our advantage here is that we have fewer soldiers, and many things are much more convenient." Chu Yifeng is also proud of his soldiers, "Also, the military pay is good, much better than the soldiers on Wuji's side."

Ling Xiao smiled lightly and said nothing, he and Wuji played side-by-side with the imperial court on the matter of military pay, otherwise even Ling Xiao would not be able to pay for some of his belongings, and of course he couldn't tell Chu Yifeng about these things in detail.

After dinner, the two of them took dozens of soldiers to go hunting in the Swallow Forest. There were not many prey in this season. In addition, the Swallow Forest was shallow. The two wandered around for an hour and only shot two roe deer. However, in this season, everything recovered. Riding horses in the woods also had a special meaning, the two talked for a while and Chu Yifeng got off the horse and followed the soldiers to clean up the two roe deer, Ling Xiao went around by himself.

Not long after, Chu Yifeng and his soldiers packed up the prey. Chu Yifeng took off the water bag he was carrying immediately and washed his hands. He turned around and saw Ling Xiao came back with something in his arms. Chu Yifeng wiped his hands and smiled and greeted him: "What are you going to do?" Did you pick the fruit?"

"No, do you like it or not..." Ling Xiao approached and let Chu Yifeng look at it. Chu Yifeng's eyes widened instantly, and he said in surprise, "Rabbit!"

Ling Xiao was holding four baby rabbits in Ling Xiao's arms, two pure black and two white ones, nestling in Ling Xiao's arms shivering, Chu Yifeng picked up one with a smile, and the little rabbits quickly shrank back to Chu Yifeng as if afraid of the cold In the palm of his hand, Chu Yifeng rubbed the fluff on the little thing's head and smiled, "Where did you find it?"

Ling Xiao chuckled: "I went over there and saw a rabbit nest. These little guys crawled out by themselves. It is estimated that the old rabbit died outside. They came out when they were hungry."

Chu Yifeng rubbed the rabbit carefully and said with a smile: "Let's take it back and scatter it in the garden. Anyway, the flowers and plants in our garden are growing now, so we can't starve them."

Ling Xiao nodded, the garden is now raising these golden pheasants and other things free-range, and these few little things are not bad, and they won't waste many flowers and plants anyway. Chu Yifeng carefully took a cloth bag and put the little rabbit in it, got on the horse and followed Ling Xiao returned home.

After returning to the mansion, Ling Xiao asked people to prepare wooden boxes and other things and put them in the corner of the yard, and put some vegetable leaves in. Chu Yifeng caught the little rabbits in one by one, and only waited for them to grow up before releasing them. to the garden.

Ling Xiao asked the cook to cook the roe deer meat that he had hunted today, and Chu Yifeng stayed in front of the wooden box to tease the rabbit until the meal was ready before Ling Xiao dragged his hands to eat.

"Tomorrow, I'll send someone to Wuji's place." Ling Xiao picked up vegetables for Chu Yifeng, thought for a while, and said, "Let him send some ballista craftsmen over, I want to see if I can improve it."

Chu Yifeng suddenly became interested and nodded: "Most of the bows and arrows we use today are improved by you back then. Can this ballista be improved now?"

"Let me try it, I'm not sure." This Ling Xiao is really not very sure. He vaguely remembers seeing the force analysis of the ballista before, but it is one aspect in theory, and whether it can be used in practice is another. It's the same thing, after all, it's a problem as small as the force in the actual situation, as large as the choice of materials.

Chu Yifeng was quite confident, and said with a smile: "Then try it, let the craftsmen come over tomorrow, and I will help you."

Ling Xiao smiled: "Okay."

In the next month, most of the energy of the two of them was put on improving the ballista. The craftsmen invited from the northern barracks also allowed Chu Yifeng to stay politely in the palace of the King of England. They started from several directions. Fumbled, and Wuji came to see it twice. After more than a month, the improved ballista was finally completed.

Chu Yifeng couldn't walk when he saw the good weapon, he couldn't stop rubbing it, and hurriedly ordered someone to set up the ballista in the school yard to try it out. The new ballista needs four people to work together to launch it. Ling Xiao randomly found four relatives The soldiers came to teach them and they learned it. Ling Xiao put the seven big arrows in place, adjusted them slightly, and said lightly: "Let it go!"

The big arrow shot out with a "swoosh". This kind of arrow is also specially made. The tail feathers are all made of steel. At high speed, it rubs against the air and makes a roar like thunder. Ling Xiao stared at the body of the arrow closely. When the arrow fell, the soldiers rushed to measure it, and came back after a while, Wuji and Lu Weishan said anxiously: "How much?!"

The soldier knelt down and said loudly: "Report to the prince and minister Ling, the range is 450 feet!"——

Well, this is not very important. I will try my best to maintain the quality and quantity, but it is enough to finish something before the end of the world.
