Chapter 167: Brushing

Li Qing, who rushed back to Dingzhou from Fuzhou, only had to rest for one day, and then went to the forest again. It was not entirely a lie to Xiang Xianhe's words to launch an autumn offensive against the barbarians. There was an offensive, but it was not a full-scale war, but a targeted local attack. Lu Dalin was ready and could launch an offensive just by waiting for Li Qing's order.

The recent intelligence sent back from the grassland made Li Qing notice that the Bai tribe in Bayar was a little abnormal, and Hu He's wolf running army began to be frequently mobilized again. Li Qing was worried and decided to go to Shanglin in person and ponder all the details with Lu Dalin.

For two consecutive days, Li Qing was on the horse's feet, and even though Li Qing was the general, his thighs were still hot from the side, so he felt extremely uncomfortable. So when he saw the carriage brought by Shang Haibo, he couldn't help but feel happy. He thought that this military advisor was not only outstanding in strategy, but also as careful as his heart, knowing that he had suffered in the past two days.

He threw the horses to his personal guards and happily stepped onto the carriage. The group left the city and ran towards Zhilin. From Dingzhou to Shanglin, the distance was not close, and it was hundreds of miles. Li Qing decided to take the carriage to Fuyuan and then change the remaining fast horses, so that he could arrive at Shanglin tomorrow.

Shortly after sitting in the car, Li Qing realized that the car was very different from the carriage she had taken before, and was extremely stable. The roads are not as flat as those in later generations, as they were either cement roads or asphalt roads. They were very flat, especially in border states like Dingzhou, where the basic conditions are still very poor. Although Li Qing spent a lot of effort to build roads and sort out the roads after he came to power, it was not a day since the ice was frozen. How could such a huge Dingzhou be handled in three or two years?

"This car?" Li Qing looked at Shang Haibo opposite. Shang Haibo smiled and refused to answer.

Li Qing suddenly realized, "Have you made the shock absorber of the carriage I mentioned last time?"

Shang Haibo laughed, "After the commander guessed, there were more than 10,000 craftsmen in the craftsman camp. There were quite a few craftsmen who were good at creating such small pieces. After Ren Ruyun took over the task, he joined Xu Xiaodao and summoned a few craftsmen with the highest skills. After studying it day and night, he finally made it. This was the first one he made, and he specially sent it for the general to evaluate it."

Li Qing flattered his mouth, "It's so dark and not dazzling at all. I didn't say this at the beginning. How much can this guy sell? Even I don't think it's worth it!"

"Master, this car is for you, but you don't need to be magnificent. It's not that you can't bear to pay, but that you don't need it at all now. As you said before, you should do things with high profile and be low-key."

Li Qing laughed, "You remember what I said, yes, I'm using it myself, it's better to be so inconspicuous. I don't want to be like a peacock, always open the screen from time to time to time to display it."

"You look okay in the interior of this car, right?" Shang Haibo asked.

Only then did Li Qing look at the carriage carefully. It was inconspicuous outside and was quite particular inside. Not only was the place spacious, but it was also extremely exquisitely designed, effectively making use of every layer of space inside. He stretched out his fingers and knocked on the wall. Li Qing couldn't help but look puzzled, "What's the bread here? Is the sound wrong?"

Shang Haibo said: "Master, there is a whole of steel plates that are quickly made in the mezzanine. Not only are these four walls, but also these steel plates are also installed on the top cover. The most labor-intensive thing about making this carriage is nothing else. It is these four steel plates. Xu Xiaodao took great effort to create it."

Bulletproof car? A noun flashed out of Li Qing's mind.

"Ren Ruyun and Xu Xiaodao have both tried this kind of steel plate. Not to mention ordinary crossbow arrows, even the Eight Niu Crossbow cannot penetrate. Of course, the Eight Niu Crossbow is too powerful, and close-range shooting can shake it over. If you sit in this car, an incident like the assassination in the capital will never happen again." Shang Haibo was still scared whenever he thought of the assassination of the assassination in the assassination of the assassination in his heart. No one would have thought that the dignified Dingzhou Marshal would almost fall into the hands of a woman and a traitor.

Li Qing's face was a little unhappy, which reminded him of the twelve dead guards. "It won't be that all carriages will be equipped with this kind of steel plate, right? This is not possible. Steel is a big secret in our Dingzhou and we will never leak it."

Shang Haibo said: "Of course, there is only one of the entire Dingzhou, or the entire Dachu, and it is not easy to flatten and thin this kind of steel. This is a hit by Xu Xiaodao and the others."

"Thank you for your hard work, I'll ask someone to give them something," Li Qing said.

"This is the grace of the Grand Marshal to him, but Grand Marshal, there is another trick in the carriage!" Shang Tibo smiled and reached out to press the corner behind him. A sound of plagiarism. A floor between the two slowly rose up, just to the chest of the two. Li Qing couldn't help but wonder when he saw it. He looked down and glanced. This was a small table with four small drawers under the table. He opened it, and there were teacups, wine glasses, silver chopsticks and other small objects. "What a delicate mechanism!" Li Qing laughed happily. The carriage was simply a small house.

"And, Grandmaster!" Shang Haibo lowered the table again, turned his back to Li Qing for a while, and then moved away from him, his original seat had been pulled open and spread out, and the bottom was empty, with some bedding and mattresses and other things, and pointed to Li Qing's butt: "Master, your bottom is the same."

Li Qing was speechless. Such a carriage actually made so many tricks.

"There's more, Grandmaster!" Shang Haibo said another sentence, and he took it out like a treasure boy, and came again. At the gate of the carriage, Shang Haibo pushed a piece of floor, reached into it, and pulled it out, and a metal object rose up. Li Qing couldn't help but be surprised. This was a powerful crossbow.

Shang Haibo smiled and hooked the strings. The steel wire string made a crisp sound. There was a box next to the crossbow frame, and the crossbow arrows inside were shining with cold light. Li Qing couldn't help but think, if someone really opened the door, haha, seeing a strong crossbow facing him, I'm afraid there would be no other thoughts except despair at that moment, right?

"Good guy!" Li Qing praised, and with this crossbow again, this bulletproof car can be upgraded to an armored car.

"For the safety of the general, our entire Dingzhou has exhausted our efforts and tried our best to take care of ourselves. The son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. We don't want anything like taking Fuzhou several times the day before yesterday to take him back." Shang Haibo put the crossbow back and sat back, looking at Li Qing with bright eyes.

Li Qing uttered, Shang Haibo showed off to himself like a treasure today. He thought he had changed his nature, but he didn't expect that the root was buried here!

He smiled awkwardly and said, "This time it's Fuzhou, but I'm seeing Deng Peng. It's a serious matter and a big matter. Besides, I brought my personal guards and the Statistics and Investigation Department all the way to respond to the arrangements. After entering Fuzhou, Jiang Heiniu responded again. What could happen?"

Shang Haibo snorted and said, "Master General, if you leave Dingzhou, you have to say it to us first, and leave a message, and there will be no shadow. Besides, it is not that I don't believe in Director Qingfeng, but that her investigation and statistics are mixed. If the wind is accidentally revealed and the people who are interested know it, it is a great thing. Besides, if you want to see Deng Peng, you can secretly come to Fuzhou. Even if you want to show your desire for talent and value him, you don't have to go to an unexpected place in person."

"That's it!" Li Qing knew that Shang Haibo was right, but because of a subordinate so mercilessly, he felt embarrassed that he could not help but feel a little red.

When Shang Haibo saw Li Qing's face, he knew that the time had arrived. He said that the situation was extremely opposite. "Master, you are the heaven of our Dingzhou and our Dingzhou's support. Now Dingzhou is booming and you have many talents, but these people are gathered together because of you. With you, we are a piece of iron. Without you, I'm afraid it's riddled with holes. Every subordinate of ours hopes that the Master can take care of himself!"

Li Qing nodded. Shang Haibo was rightly speaking. Although it was not listened to, as the saying goes, good medicine is good for diseases, and honest words are good for actions. Only his subordinates, only Shang Haibo dares to talk to him like this. This is also the reason why he respects him above all his superiority. Lu Yiming can be extraordinary, but he is too circumspect. Xu Yunfeng is loyal, but he is not as talented as them. Qingfeng has talent, but only his own words follow. Sometimes even knowing that he has done something wrong, he will not object. Not to mention other people, such as Wang Qinian and others, they are all pointing to the east and the west and the west. However, Lu Dalin is not good at saying anything to him due to his identity.

"Mr. Shang, I know this. It's my fault. I will never do this again in the future. I will keep my words in mind!" Li Qing bowed to Shang Haibo with great importance.

Shang Haibo did not dare to accept this gift, and bent one knee and said with a low body: "The great commander can accept it, which is the blessing of our ministers and also the blessing of our Dingzhou!"

Li Qing laughed and pulled Shang Haibo up, patted the carriage, and said, "Look, look, this carriage is so far, oh, by the way, is the number of my carriage the same?"

Shang Haibo shook his head, "This car is not numbered, and your car cannot be numbered either! This is for safety reasons, and you have also seen that from the appearance of this car, it is no different from an ordinary carriage!"

"Well, that's fine. Then what I told you before, after building it, you will send the car numbered to Qingfeng, have you not forgotten?" Li Qing said.

It was really hard to get the pot. Shang Haibo didn't think about it and said directly: "No!"

"Why?" Li Qing was also a little unhappy. You said so much that I didn't say anything. Finally, I apologized to you. But why didn't I tell you about this? Why didn't I give you any face?

Shang Haibo saw that Li Qing was already a little angry. If it was something else, he could give in, but this matter would never work. "Master, you gave the No. 1 car to Qingfeng. How dare you ask Princess Qingcheng to ask if she had passed the door in the future and wanted No. 1 car, what should you do?"

"This..." Li Qing couldn't help but be stunned, "Isn't it just a carriage? As for?"
