Chapter 96: Being plotted

Chen Wanrong was not interested in the banquet that night. Zheng Jianqiu and his wife were the happiest. They drank all the time and then gave up. After the banquet, they talked for a while and then went to bed.

There is still something big to do tomorrow and the artillery is formed. Chen Wanrong just talked to Zheng Qing for a while and then took a rest. The next day, Chen Wanrong woke up and with Zheng Qing's help, he finished washing and used too early to go out.

But Zheng Qing stopped him: "Today I went to the schoolyard. As a general, how could he not wear armor?"

"Oh!" Chen Wanrong suddenly realized that her words made sense. After all, she was a general. If she went to the schoolyard in casual clothes, what would the soldiers think? It was not suitable.

Chen Wanrong touched his forehead and smiled and said, "That's right! But I'm not prepared. Now I can't wear it, so I'd better forget it. Otherwise, I'll discuss with Brother Wang to see if I can lend me a set of armor for only one day."

"Puff!" Zheng Qing couldn't help it anymore, and smiled and pounded Chen Wanrong's shoulder twice: "You are really, this general is too incompetent! The general doesn't even have armor. If it is spread, it won't make a joke!"

With his hands spread, Chen Wanrong was helpless: "I haven't worn armor and didn't think about this. If you don't remind me, I really can't imagine it. It's over here, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"Who said there was nothing I could do?" Zheng Qing shouted outside the door: "Qing'e, bring it in."

The door creaked open, Qing'e came in with a set of armor, and it was very difficult to put it on the table, shaking her hands: "I'm so tired. This armor is really heavy. Who can stand it when worn on her body?"

When Chen Wanrong saw that it was a pair of bright light armor, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Where did this come from?"

Qing'e gave Chen Wanrong a angrily glance: "You don't care about family affairs at all, you'll be fascinated by being a general."

It’s such a big injustice! Chen Wanrong has a lot of things, and he can’t take care of his family. The matter of becoming a general was even driven to the shelves. If he doesn’t do it properly, he can’t push it away. How can he say “obsessed”?

Chen Wanrong teased: "Is there a good wife at home? Do I need to ask about it?"

Zheng Qing burst out laughing, Qing'e shaves her face and shys her face: "No shame!"

"This is sent by Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen! The princess said, you have become a general. If you don't have a decent set of armor, it will be unconventional, I will send it to you." Zheng Qing smiled and explained: "The two princesses are really careful and even remember this."

Chen Wanrong doesn't think so: "God knows whether they are kind-hearted or are they deliberately teasing me?" The celebration yesterday was a farce that they worked hard to make. Chen Wanrong was very dissatisfied.

Zheng Qing smiled and said, "No matter what, the princess has relieved you, and she still has good intentions."

This made sense. Chen Wanrong no longer refuted, took off his coat and only wore underwear. Zheng Qing and Qing'e were busy helping Chen Wanrong wear it.

The history of Mingguang Armor is very long and first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty. "Book of Zhou: Biography of Cai You" records that "When I was wearing Mingguang Iron Armor, I was in a state of unprecedented direction. The enemy all said that this was an iron beast, so they all avoided it." In the Zhou Dynasty, bronze was used as the main one. Iron tools had just appeared and had not reached its maturity in technology.

Even so, iron is more excellent than bronze, and its performance is still eye-catching. When made into iron armor, it cannot be destroyed by bronze weapons. If you have a set of iron armor, it is an unbreakable fortress and the enemy can easily break.

In the Warring States Period, the famous general Wu Qi promoted iron armor in Wei State and trained the world-famous "Wei Wushang". Wei Wushang was heavy infantry wearing iron armor. This army swept the world in nearly a hundred years, especially Qin State. He suffered a lot in front of this army and lost the land of Hexi.

After losing the land in Hexi, the old Qin people sang a war song of revenge, "Regain my rivers and mountains with blood. I will not stop fighting!" It was with the powerful combat power of the Wei Wushu that Wu drove Qin out of the land in Hexi. The Qin people were determined to take revenge for a hundred years until Shang Yang's reforms were successful. The new army of Qin, the famous "sharp" in Chinese history, came out of Hexi under the leadership of Shang Yang, and the regained Hexi. This period of history came to an end.

The combat effectiveness of Wei Wushu was very amazing. Pang Juan was the commander of Wei Wushu, attacking Zhao in the north and defeating Han in the west. However, he set up two ambushes for Sun Bin, and the Wei Wushu suffered heavy casualties. After Pang Juan's death, only 30,000 Wei Wushu were left, and Shang Yang was annihilated in Hexi.

The success of the Wei Wuzhang led to the imitation of all countries in the Warring States Period. From then on, the Iron Armor Age officially began. The Ming Guang armor began to evolve increasingly from the Zhou Dynasty, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it entered its heyday.

The Tang Dynasty's technological level has improved and the level of armor production has been improved to a higher level. In addition, the promotion of the "steel-filling method" has given the Tang Dynasty more steel. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty made a large number of Mingguang Armors, which has enabled Mingguang Armors to equip the army in large quantities, sealing the "Two Dang Armors" in history.

There are generally two situations for the use of Mingguang Armor. One is an army with a special mission, such as the cavalry equipped with a large number of Mingguang Armors. When Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty conquered Koryo in the east, two of the four cavalry units he invested were equipped with Mingguang Armors.

Another situation is that only generals and lieutenants are qualified to wear Mingguang armor. Because Mingguang armor is the best armor in the Tang Dynasty, it not only has good protection, but also has smooth iron sheets on the front, chest and back. It can not only protect the key points, but also reflect light in the sunlight, which is particularly powerful. Therefore, Mingguang armor is the favorite of the soldiers!

Looking at the bright light armor, Chen Wanrong couldn't put it down. When he touched it with his hands, it was very smooth, soft and very comfortable. He couldn't help but secretly praised it. With the help of Zheng Qing and Qing'e, he put it on his body in a few strokes.

The biggest problem with Mingguang Armor is that it is too heavy. Before wearing a helmet, Chen Wanrong felt a little troubled and frowned: "It's so painful for those who are in the army!"

When the Tang Dynasty recruited soldiers, the first requirement was to "eliminate armor", which means that it would be easy to wear armor on the body. If it was very difficult, it would definitely not be qualified.

Qing'e covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm so embarrassed to say! The general is not even capable of armor, don't you think you are thick-skinned?"

Chen Wanrong laughed: "I'm a temporary leader, and I'm not always a general. What a shameless person. Oh, there seems to be something on my back that is stabbing me." He grinned his teeth and cracked his mouth, which was very painful.

Qing'e didn't believe it and made fun of it: "Stop making excuses! Just say it just if you can't stand it!"

Zheng Qing didn't believe it, and asked, "Really?"

Chen Wanrong shook, shouted again, nodding, "It's true." Regardless of how the two women reacted, they took off their armor in a hurry.

Zheng Qing examined Chen Wanrong's back and exclaimed: "It's bleeding!" She asked anxiously: "Does it hurt?"

"Fortunately, it doesn't hurt too much!" Chen Wanrong was very depressed. He looked at the armor and found a thin needle on the lining. If he didn't pay attention, he wouldn't be able to find it. Taking off the needle, Chen Wanrong scolded hatefully: "This craftsman who made armor should be punished, but he forgot to take the needle away."

The production process of Mingguang armor is very complicated. First, iron is made into armor sheets. Then, it is made into a coarse grinding, perforated, and cut into a hole, cut into a rim, and fine grinding. After the nail sheet is processed, it is woven into an armor with leather strips. A lining should be hung inside to prevent the skin from being worn.

It is not impossible for craftsmen to make the lining and forget to take the needle, and Chen Wanrong was not too careful.

Qing'ai looked at the lining and pointed at the lining, "There are notes here."

When Chen Wanrong looked at it, he saw a very thin strip of paper on the lining, which was sewn on the lining. If he hadn't paid attention, he wouldn't have noticed it. Zheng Qing hurriedly took it down, opened it and read it, covering her mouth and laughed: "So someone is planning to you!"

"Who?" Chen Wanrong didn't believe that this was the case. He grabbed the note and saw a few delicate words written on it, "I'll give you a fine needle, please accept it with a smile! Hehe!"

"It's the princess!" Chen Wanrong and Qing'e said in the same voice. Qing'e covered her mouth, laughing and gasping for praise: "The princess is such a good idea, interesting, and interesting!"

Chen Wanrong was so angry that he said: "Shut up! These two princesses are too bad. I remember this. I have to find a chance to teach them a lesson!"

Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen were against Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong, who was thinking of "a good man would not fight with a woman" and asked them to let him go. Unexpectedly, they actually made a prank and could not help but exclaim.

Zheng Qing took off Chen Wanrong's clothes and saw that they were only two small pinholes, which were not serious. Only then did she feel relieved. Qing'e laughed and made fun of it, and brought alcohol. Zheng Qing carefully disinfected it, and then put down her clothes.

Chen Wanrong carefully checked the armor and found no abnormalities again, so he put it on his body. When he was fully dressed in a pair of Mingguang armor, he realized how heavy the Mingguang armor was. Chen Wanrong was not used to it and walked a little unnaturally. He practiced in the house for a while and then it became much better.

Qing'e opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Chen Wanrong with a look of surprise. Chen Wanrong was very surprised and asked, "What are you looking at? I don't know how handsome I am?"

"Bah!" Qing'e's face turned red and she ignored him.

Zheng Qing was also extremely surprised, with happiness on her pretty face, and she hurriedly handed a bronze mirror to Chen Wanrong and said, "Look at it yourself! She is dressed neatly, handsome and mighty, and she looks like a gentle general!"

"Really?" Chen Wanrong was a little disbelief. He took the bronze mirror and was stunned for a moment. He said in a lost voice: "Is this still me? People want clothes and Buddha wants golden bodies. This is true. Just wear a set of armor on my body, and I will change a lot."

Chen Wanrong in the mirror is handsome, very majestic, and elegant. Chen Wanrong never expected that he would change this way. Chen Wanrong wore an official robe, but only three points of majesty, but wearing Mingguang Armor was full of majesty. He looked at Qing'e, glared at her, and shouted: "You little girl, hurry up and get a name!"

This is a joke. If it were in the past, Qing'e would have to speak back. Today is an exception. Xiu's eyebrows frowned and muttered: "You are a slaughter!" There is no other words.

Zheng Qing hurriedly said, "Don't scare Qing'e quickly. I'm a little scared when you act like this."

"See if you dare to always go against me in the future!" Chen Wanrong threw out a harsh words, then walked out. Zheng Qing closed the door and came from behind with Qing'e.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Wang Shaohua's eyes lit up. He came forward and pointed at Chen Wanrong, laughing: "Brother Chen, he looks like a general! I have seen General Chen!"

The last sentence was a joke. Chen Wanrong raised his right foot and kicked it: "Brother Wang, don't be joking. This is the first time I wear the bright light armor, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

Sima Chengzhen stroked his beard and joked: "My friend, will you call me a friend in the future, or call you general?"

The two have known each other for so long and their friendship has become deeper, so Sima Chengzhen has spoken like this. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Master, please spare me!" Sima Chengzhen was jokingly and was in a good mood, laughing.

Zheng Jianqiu and his wife looked Chen Wanrong left and right, smiling from ear to ear. Zheng Jianqiu opened his mouth and laughed: "I didn't realize that Wanrong is still a general! It's not in vain to marry such a mighty general!"

"Father-in-law, when do you plan to marry her? The general needs a general's wife!" Chen Wanrong seized the opportunity and jokingly made Zheng Qing dissatisfied and cursed: "You bad guy, just like to talk nonsense!"

Zheng Zhou smiled and nodded, "Wanrong, this matter is not urgent. Isn't the girl in your house? Let's talk about it later when you finish your work."

"Mom!" Zheng Qing was both ashamed and anxious, hurriedly hid behind Zheng Zhou's family.

While we were talking and laughing, the blue and white flowers roared and ran over. The horse's head kept rubbing against Chen Wanrong's body, and his hair was so excited that it stood up.

"What's wrong with blue and white?" Chen Wanrong was very surprised. Since he brought blue and white home, he had never seen it so excited. Not only Chen Wanrong was curious, but also Zheng Qing and the others were curious.

Wang Shaohua's eyes shone, and he clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations to Brother Chen, congratulations to Brother Chen!"

"Brother Wang, where does the joy come from?" Chen Wanrong became confused.

Wang Shaohua stroked the blue and white head and explained: "Brother Chen, I have been to the battlefield. I have some understanding of war horses. There is a kind of war horse that is very rare. This kind of war horse neighs when hearing the horns and advances when hearing the war drums. If you fight with the enemy, this kind of war horse will double its courage and will show great power. This is the war horse that you need most on the battlefield, but there are too few such horses!"

Chen Wanrong had some insight: "What do you mean is that blue and white horses are such a small number of war horses?"

Wang Shaohua nodded and said, "It should be no bad! Before, Brother Chen had never worn armor, and the blue and white are no different. Today, Brother Chen is in his armor, and the blue and white are extremely excited. Therefore, the blue and white should be the real battlefield horse that may not be found in 100,000 war horses! Brother Chen, ride on it and run two laps to see if there are any abnormalities in the blue and white! "

After hearing what he said, Chen Wanrong really wanted to try it. He responded and stepped on the horse. Before Chen Wanrong slapped the horse, the blue and white trees raised their heads and neighed, spread their four hooves, and jumped forward, which was more than two feet apart. This kind of leap was many in the past, but it was not as stable and stable as it is today, and it had more of a spirit of hard work, which made Chen Wanrong become more energetic and run in the mansion with the reins of the horse.

As the wind was running at lightning, the blue and white horses ran several times in a short while. It was probably getting late, and Chen Wanrong had to tie the reins. The blue and white birds were very dissatisfied, and they kept shaking their necks and sniffing, and the horse's hooves kept moving on the ground.

"It's much lighter and more stable than before!" Chen Wanrong said the difference between blue and white porcelain.

Wang Shaohua nodded and said, "Brother Chen, Blue and White are buried with you! This kind of horse on the battlefield is like a warrior among horses, who should be born to cyclize on the battlefield. And you just use blue and white for transportation, which is a pity, a pity! If Blue and White are galloping on the battlefield for a period of time, it will be even more different. This is like a natural warrior who can only stimulate all his abilities on the battlefield!"

Chen Wanrong laughed and was very happy: "Brother Wang, don't regret blue and white porcelain. If it weren't for me, blue and white porcelain would have slaughtered meat for people, how could this be today? Everyone has their own lives, horses have their own luck, and each has its own match, and no one can force it!"

Sima Chengzhen praised: "My friend's words are very reasonable. If a thousand-mile horse does not meet Bole, he can only accept a salt truck! Meeting a relationship is something that no one can change!"

A sigh, I have expressed the bitterness of heroes! Throughout history, many talents have been discovered by people, and many talents have been buried! Destiny and luck!

Originally, he wanted to gallop on the battlefield, but he had no regrets even if he died in battle. Unexpectedly, he could only run around the East Palace. Wang Shaohua couldn't help but sigh and said, "Brother Chen, I won't say it anymore. It's getting late, so it's time for us to leave!"

"Okay!" Chen Wanrong responded and was about to take a horse. Wang Shaohua hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Chen, don't you have a sword? Why don't you match it together? The general can still be a general without weapons?"

This statement was justified, and Zheng Qing shouted: "Wait, I'll get it for you!" She ran away. After a while, Zheng Qing panted and turned around, holding the saber that Ye Tianheng made for Chen Wanrong in her hand.

Chen Wanrong took it, slapped it around his waist, smiled at Zheng Qing, and left. Wang Shaohua and Longwu Army followed.

The group walked straight to the Longwu Military Academy outside the city. Soon after, they arrived at the Longwu Military Academy. They saw Ge Shuhan and the left chariot standing together, standing by the road waiting.

Geshuhan is also wearing bright light armor. Others are powerful and extraordinary. The bright light armor is even more powerful, making people feel the idea of ​​seeing the generals.

Chen Wanrong clasped his fists: "Brother Brother Shu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Geshuhan did not return the gift, but rode around Chen Wanrong for a while, and then laughed: "Brother Chen, you are a gentleman and finally become a general!" With armor on his body, Chen Wanrong's changes greatly, no one could have imagined that Geshuhan was also very surprised.

"Brother Shu is so serious! Isn't it just a set of armor? There's nothing to make a fuss about it?" Chen Wanrong said humbly.

Ge Shuhan's interest was still unabated: "Brother Chen is amazing. With a set of armor on his body, his whole body has changed. It's rare, rare!"

"Let's go in!" Chen Wanrong slapped his horse and walked straight to the entrance of the schoolyard. When he arrived at the door, Chen Wanrong showed his order arrows, and the soldiers hurriedly let Chen Wanrong and the others in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a boy of six or seven years old greeting him. It was Wang Zhongsi. Today's Wang Zhongsi was very different from before. He was wearing a small armor, shining in the sunlight, and was full of heroism. He bowed to Chen Wanrong and said, "Wang Zhongsi has seen General Chen! Wang Zhongsi was ordered to come and ask General Chen to show his advice!"

He looks handsome, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and is already pleasing. Although these words are immature, they are full of sophistication, which makes people surprised. Ge Shuhan's pair of tiger eyes glanced at Wang Zhongsi and praised loudly: "This is very strange! A strange thing, a strange thing!"

Wang Zhongsi hurriedly corrected: "There is an order in the army, no boy can be called!"
