Chapter 1058: The Arms of Minglu
In the end, Shen Zheng still couldn't defeat Lu Botang.
In order to avoid being "dragged" up by Lu Botang, she chose to walk up with dignity.
In the training ground, the soldiers were training non-stop, and the steaming hot air mixed with sweat rose straight into the sky.
Lu Botang stood with his sword in hand, his cloak rustling in the wind behind him.
Seeing Shen Zheng staring intently at the audience, he smiled and said, "Sir Shen, my soldiers are pretty good, aren't they?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the shouts of the drill formation suddenly rose, and thousands of feet stepped on the ground at the same time, shaking the dust on the stage.
Shen Zheng stared at the soldiers without blinking, and sighed, "The general is indeed strict in his military discipline. He even detected the exact sound of the soldiers' footsteps. I admire you."
Just that one move just now was enough to shake the ants on the ground.
"This is the basic skill of 'stepping on the ground as a signal', which is actually nothing in military terms."
Rubeus was so proud that his tail was about to lift up, but he still kept saying, "It's nothing."
With a natural respect for soldiers, Shen Zheng said sincerely, "A sharp sword worthy of a strong soldier. General Lu, I wonder if those carriages outside can be brought in? I'd also like to ask you to send a few people to unload all the equipment from the carriages."
Lu Botang staggered and asked subconsciously, "Didn't you bring those weapons to the county soldiers?"
Could it be that their training grounds could also benefit from this and get a share of something?
Shen Zheng smiled and said, "I didn't bring any equipment for the county soldiers. The weapons and equipment on the carriage were all brought to the training ground by me. His Majesty has already agreed, so please accept them without worry, General."
"All?!"
Lu Botang's voice suddenly rose, and he looked at the convoy outside the venue and confirmed again: "All, all of them are for our venue?"
How many steel swords would that take?
Five?
Eight?
Could it be... there are ten?!
The blood in his body started to burn and rushed straight to his crown.
Shen Zheng smiled and nodded, "All of them. However, I don't know much about military camps. I only know that this training ground is owned by the Lin and Lu families. Therefore, I'll have to trouble you and General Lin to take care of the distribution of weapons."
The Lin family army and the Lu family army were originally in the same boat, and it was difficult to balance the two bowls of water. After thinking about it, she simply poured all the water into one basin - and stopped carrying it.
"That's easy!" As expected, Lu Botang had no objection to this.
He looked at the soldiers below, his eyes shining frighteningly. "Just as you said, Master Shen, sharp weapons go hand in hand with strong soldiers! These treasures will belong to whoever has the ability to get them!"
Being competitive is human nature, especially for those of us who live on the edge of a knife.
It’s fun to argue and fight when there’s nothing to do!
Otherwise, when we really get to the battlefield, everyone will be so cowardly that they will just slip away.
"Zheng——"
“Ding——”
Suddenly, the sound of a golden bell echoed throughout the training grounds. Shen Zheng was stunned for a moment before asking, "General Lu, does this mean 'sounding the gong to withdraw the troops'?"
"Exactly!" Looking at the soldiers preparing to rest after relieving their stress, Lu Botang laughed, "The time is perfect. Lord Shen, would you be willing to show us the world?"
"General, I'm sorry to bother you." Shen Zheng made a "please" gesture. "You are an expert. I will obey you."
Several carriages drove into the parade grounds. The soldiers resting there whispered, "I was just about to ask, who is that girl? Why did the general bring her to the parade grounds?"
"I don't know. Maybe she came here just to see something new. But if you ask me, as a girl, you'd better not come to places like this, or you'll be scared to tears."
"You're just looking down on others! Haven't you seen the female soldiers in the small training ground next door? They handle their spears better than you do!"
"Hey, which side are you from? Why are your elbows always sticking out?"
"I'm just speaking the truth! Since the girl dared to come, we should just be open and honest with her. It won't hurt anything, so why talk about her behind her back?"
"Bah! What do you mean by gossip? Copperhead, can you even speak?"
"Dissatisfied?"
"I refuse to accept this!"
"come!"
"Come here! Who's afraid of you!"
On one side, two men were competing in stunts, while on the other side, several weapon boxes were being unloaded from the carriage.
Lu Botang rushed forward in a hurry, and when his fingertips touched the cold lock of the wooden box, he trembled unconsciously.
Steel Sword...
That day, the steel sword that was seen briefly in the Golden Palace, but today, it appeared in front of Lu Botang?
His Adam's apple rolled several times, and he turned back to look at Shen Zheng, "Master Shen, are the things in these boxes really all good stuff?"
How many does this have to be?
Shen Zheng walked up to him and said with a smile, "General, just take a look and you'll know."
With a crisp "click", the iron lock fell to the ground. Lu Botang took a deep breath, grabbed the edge of the box and lifted it up fiercely.
In an instant, sunlight slanted into the wooden box, and several long swords hit his eyes.
Not five.
Not eight.
Not even ten.
Look at the appearance... there are probably at least twenty of them!
He felt dizzy. "This, this much... Lord Shen, you, you can't joke with me. If this stuff goes into my stomach, I won't spit it out!"
Shen Zheng was amused by his straightforward words, "General, just accept them without worry. These are all clear-cut."
The emperor approved it, the Ministry of War nodded, and the Ministry of Works delivered the goods.
The process has been completed, so there is no reason for her to regret it.
"Good, good, good!"
Lu Botang picked up the outermost sword and stood up.
With a "swish", the sharp sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed. The ice-blue blade illuminated the sweat beads on his temples. He slowly stretched out his fingers and touched the blade.
A slight tingling sensation came from the fingertips, and when I looked again, the fingertips were stained red.
"What a sword!"
After shouting loudly, he took two deep breaths, resisted the urge to gesture, and looked at Shen Zheng, "Master Shen, I won't say more. From now on, if you need anything from me, just tell me!"
Hearing him use the word "order", Shen Zheng bowed and said, "I am just doing my duty. General, there is no need to do this."
Lu Botang looked at her deeply, then walked towards the other wooden boxes with his sword.
After a while, all the boxes were opened. He held a sword in his left hand, a bow in his right hand, a suit of armor on his body, and a telescope hanging around his neck.
Shen Zheng: “…”
Is there going to be a war?
"Move the car!" Lu Botang looked towards the training ground and shouted to someone, "Come here!"
Che Ju strode over and was stunned when he saw his attire. "Your humble servant greets the general!"
Lu Botang hummed, walked to Shen Zheng's side, and said, "This is Lord Shen, the assistant of the six ministries. He came to pick up her troops today. I sent someone to the small parade ground to see why she hasn't arrived yet. Also, Lord Shen brought us new weapons. Assemble the troops immediately and come with me to test them!"
Looking at the silver armor on his body that shone with a cold light, Che Ju's heart trembled, "Yes!"
If he was not mistaken, then the armor...should not be iron armor, right?
And he had never seen that style of bow in the army before.
and also!
That unsheathed sword might be...
