Chapter 42: Meet and Give Gifts
Qin Sanyou and Duoli Zhuying led the way, and Qi Jun then entered Dashun's camp.
Although there was a hint of autumn coolness in the morning and evening at that time, as it approached noon, the scorching sun still spared no effort to set off the remaining heat.
The welcome of the Shun troops on both sides of the road was based on their uniforms, stretching straight towards the martial arts field like two black carpentry lines. They were not afraid of the heat at all. Although the armor was steaming with misty heat, the neat and uniform ceremonial axes discharged a cold feeling.
The crescent moon, not to mention anything else, just this one scene shows that Qin Sanyou still has some rules in running the army.
On the martial arts field, black "Golden Generals"* were lined up horizontally and vertically. The tails of the General's cannons were cast with brass, making them look so golden that they caught everyone's attention. The muzzles of the cannons were pointed at Hesaka Castle in the east.
Note*: "General" is the honorific title given to artillery by Daning people. Because the artillery is covered with red silk when not in use, it is called "Red General"; although the artillery of Jingning Army and Shun Army are also covered with red silk,
They were covered with silk, but to distinguish them from the Ning army, the Jingning army respected them as "General Xuanwu" and Shun army respected them as "General Jin Zun". As for the other group of forces with cannons, their ships did not have these features.
Red tape.
Qi Jun took advantage of the situation and looked around. He saw that the west wall of Heban was in ruins. A corner of the wall at the confluence of the two rivers had collapsed. It was hastily blocked with earth and rocks. It looked extremely ugly. He did not know that it had been hit by thousands of shells. He tried to imagine in his mind
The grand scene of hundreds of cannons firing together created a small cold war for no reason.
After the brief and solemn military parade ceremony, Qin Sanyou invited Qi Jun and Duoli Zhuying to the Chinese army's tent. The guests and hosts took their seats. Qin Sanyou introduced the general of Shun's army, Duoli Zhuying introduced the general of Baiyue, and Qi Jun
Introducing Yun Feixue and Qi Qilang.
Qin Sanyou first picked up the wine glass and raised it to Qi Jun, who was the host and guest on his right hand: "The food in the army is rough, but strong wine is good. This first glass of wine will wash away the dust of Qi City Lord first!"
Everyone drank from the cup. Qin Sanyou led two more tours, introducing and leading the guests to eat some vegetables and meat.
Qi Jun said: "This trip is in a hurry, because we have to meet Emperor Shun first, so it will take a few days for our gifts to arrive. You two commanders, don't be in a hurry."
Qin Sanyou waved his hand and said: "What kind of gift is not a gift? If you, Lord Qi, come in person, that would be a huge gift. Are you right? Marshal Duoli."
I don't know if it was because he was in the guest camp, but Duo Li Zhuying didn't say much. He only smiled and nodded, leaving the leading role to Qin Sanyou.
Qi Jun said: "Ordinary treasures of gold, silver, pearls and agate are very tacky, and the two marshals do not care about these. You two will definitely like the gifts Qi Jun brings."
"Oh, what is it?" Qin Sanyou's eyes lit up, "How about City Lord Qi scratch our itch first?"
Qi Jun waved his hand: "Speak first and then read, there won't be any freshness!"
"Hey! You and I are both warriors. We have a straight-forward temper. Don't imitate some saucy poets and show off their opinions. Speak quickly, speak quickly, we are really impatient! Marshal Duoli, don't you want to know?"
No one would rush for gifts as soon as they met. Duoli Zhuying smiled slightly and frowned slightly. She was about to say some polite words when Bingwu spoke.
"Brother, just tell me, Marshal Qin likes to collect rare things the most. Are you just tickling him? If you keep hiding them, be careful they won't give you food to eat!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Qi Jun picked up the wine glass: "It's better to be respectful than to obey orders. Qi Jun will use wine as a courtesy. First, respect Commander Qin and Commander Duoli!"
Qin Sanyou raised his neck and drank it all: "City Lord Qi, please speak!"
Qi Jun said: "Actually, the gifts are not that valuable, but they are all things I own in the West. This first one is for the coalition forces. It is tungsten sand produced by the Wushan Mine in Leicheng."
"That's a good gift!" Qin Sanyou shouted, looking to Zhuang Wuming on his left, "The Imperial Master now has something to eat, and he no longer has to cry about poverty with me?"
Because Zhuang Wuming was wearing a mask, it was inconvenient for him to eat and drink. He was just sitting with him and could not see any expression on his face. He could only vaguely notice that his eyes seemed to have changed from light blue to dark purple.
He stood up and saluted Qi Jun: "Thank you very much, City Master Qi. City Master Qi is really a help in times of need. I have no respect for Mr. Zhuang, so I should express my gratitude with this glass of water and wine." After saying this, he picked up the wine glass on the table.
Qi Jun had been attracted by his hooded gown and cold mask for a long time, and did not dare to look at him due to etiquette. Now that he had the opportunity to speak, he happened to take a closer look.
"Master Zhuang, please don't be polite. The two alliances should be sincere. Qi Jun borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, but he still has to hug the Buddha's feet. When Master Zhuang has trained all the 'great generals', I heard that Leicheng still wants to invite some of them back to guard against the demon army!"
Zhuang Wuming's eyes changed uncertainly: "We have heard about the battle at Ting Lei. Are the demon armies really gathering in groups?"
Qi Jun sighed: "It's not just as simple as forming a group. It's simply a mountain of monsters and a sea of monsters. I heard that half of Lei Jian'er died in the monster disaster."
Zhuang Wuming wanted to ask something else, but he was interrupted by Qin Sanyou: "Why do you say the gift is turning to the demon army? It doesn't matter the mountains or the sea, it's fine if they don't come. If they dare to come, our army will
Turn the muzzle and fire thousands of bullets at once, leaving no trace of armor behind!"
Zhuang Wuming's eyes flashed a flash of blood red, which was quickly covered by light blue. He raised his glass again and paid tribute to Qi Jun: "Blame me, blame me, come on, come on, I respect City Lord Qi!"
He gently lifted the lower edge of the mask and drank the cup with his mouth exposed. Qi Jun drank the cup while holding the cup, but his eyes never left Zhuang Wuming. When he saw his chin and mouth exposed after taking off the mask, his heart seemed to be filled with clouds.
Feixue pinched it with her pliers hand.
Zhuang Wuming put on his mask again, and Qin Sanyou over there was impatient. "City Master Qi, please tell me what the second gift is?"
Qi Jun said: "This second gift can be said to be given to the generals and warriors in the army."
"Oh, what is that?" Qin Sanyou tilted his upper body, and Duoli Zhuying also listened carefully.
Qi Jun said: "I heard that the city of Thunder is called 'Tinglei', but in fact it doesn't even rain a few times throughout the year, let alone hearing thunder. As a 'Tinglei', I don't listen to thunder.
But '**'?"
"**?"
"Yes, I heard that there are thousands of hectares of grassland under the name of Leicheng City, but neither sheep nor cattle are grazed. All they raise are the strongest Ruoran and Tequ horses. Thousands of horses and horses running on the grassland can move the earth.
, sitting in the city, it seemed as if there were rumbling thunder rolling in from the sky, hence the name 'Ting Lei'!"
Qi Jun looked around with envious eyes and said: "The second gift of this trip is five hundred Ruoran horses and five hundred Tuqu horses!"
"Buzz!"
Qi Jun's words made the Zhongjun tent explode like a hornet's nest. All the generals present could not hold back their excited eyes, whispering to each other. One said that our army had prepared a forward offensive, and the other said that our position as commander-in-chief was
Important, I am afraid that I will be given less than two horses in the future.
Qin Sanyou stretched out his hand to stop everyone, and clasped his fists at Qi Jun: "City Master Qi, a gift is more valuable than a gift. As the saying goes: A thousand pieces of gold are easy to get, but a good horse is hard to find. This thousand good horses is really a precious gift.
!Come, let me thank the Lord Qi for this glass of wine on behalf of Shunjun."
Duoli Zhuying was afraid that he would drink up a thousand good horses with this glass of wine, so he quickly raised his glass. "Zhuying thanked the Lord Qi on behalf of the Baiyue vassals."
Qi Jun finished drinking and said: "This third gift can be said to be for the two armies, or it can be said to be for the two generals."
"What is it?"
"I heard that Leicheng spent a lot of money to support three great craftsmen of the Zero Creation Kingdom. As we all know, 'The Full Moon of Zero Creation is invincible.' These three craftsmen are familiar with the casting method of the Full Moon Scimitar of Zero Creation. Qi Jun's trip
I was in a hurry and didn't bring much, so I only brought thirty-six pieces of 'Zero Chuang Full Moon' and gave them eighteen pieces to Marshal Qin and Marshal Duoli's family."
As soon as "Zero Chuang Full Moon" came out, the hornet's nest in the big tent exploded again.
Daning once held a "World's Best Soldiers" conference in the seventh year of Huanglong, summoning swords and swords from all over the country to come to Zhongxuan to appreciate them. This grand gathering brought together all kinds of magic soldiers from all over the world and a large group of swordsmen and weapon craftsmen.
It can be described as an unprecedented event.
On the last day of the grand event, a total of seven weapons were selected, and they were going to be awarded the Holy Edict Award by the martial Emperor Huang Long himself. But before the emperor arrived, a fan jumped onto the stage with a big baggage and said about the seven weapons on the stage.
The blades are all made of bamboo and paper. The real magic weapon in the world is the one he holds in his arms.
Regardless of the imperial court or Green Forest Road, no one could convince him, so he immediately asked for a sword test. Fanzi tore off his baggage, revealing a black full-moon scimitar, and challenged the seven-handled magic weapon. As a result, three sharp blades were struck on the spot.
It was broken, and the two sharp blades were cut into deep gaps. The remaining two swords were barely able to compete with the scimitar.
During this battle, the scimitar called "Zero Creation Full Moon" became so famous that Huang Long Emperor had to award the prize of the original seven-handed magic weapon to only the remaining two soldiers. Although he was reluctant to win the other prize, the emperor said so
, once said, it must be done. From then on, the name of "Zero Creation Full Moon" was deeply engraved in the hearts of Daning warriors.
A rare treasure sword, Qi Jun sent thirty-six of them at once. Even if he heard that Leicheng really had such financial resources, it was still unclear whether the craftsmen could forge a real "zero-creation full moon". The generals were not sure.
I dare to raise my voice because I have this doubt.
How could Qi Jun not understand? He revealed all the details.
"Two commanders-in-chief and all the generals, let me tell you the truth, this 'Zero Creation Full Moon' is indeed the genuine article!"
Boom! The roof of the central military tent was barely lifted by the cheers of the generals.
"But..." Qi Jun said seriously, "The way of heaven is always the same. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and the same is true for this blade!"
Qin Sanyou asked urgently: "What are the disadvantages?"
Qi Jun said: "This blade became famous at the 'Sacred Weapons Conference'. This competition was about weapons, not martial arts, so the 'Zero Creation Full Moon' can win by trickery!"
"how do I say this?"
"The sharpness of this knife lies in the vertical edge. If you use its sharp edge to fight against an enemy, it will definitely be worthy of the word 'make a decisive decision'. However, its weakness is hidden next to its strength - the blade. Because of its workmanship, it blindly emphasizes the strength of the blade."
The sharpness causes the blade to extend out of balance, making it 'brittle' as the saying goes!"
"What's the crispy way?"
"It's okay against sharp blades. If this knife is against heavy weapons, and the blade is knocked on the side by a whip, mace or hammer, the knife will definitely break. At that time, the competition was all about literary competitions. If it really ended up in a martial arts competition, I don't think it would be good."
There would be such a false reputation!"
Qi Jun looked at the astonished expressions in the audience and changed the subject. "Although there are fatal weaknesses in actual combat, any warrior who is willing to use this sword to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy will keep it at home to show his identity. Therefore, it is the most suitable
