Seeing that the guards who had been following him who were not so beautiful, Zhao Ji couldn't help but have such a bright look. The guards used crossbow arrows to force Zhong Wanchou to retreat, Zhao Ji was not surprised. The various military weapons and weapons of the Song Dynasty were extremely powerful. Zhao Ji had already known that what really surprised him was the flowing water and the high accuracy of the guards to control the crossbow. They ran from a distance, first seeing the situation, then taking out the crossbow machine and raising the strings, then aiming at the strings, and forcing Zhong Wanchou to retreat in the air. It was even more rare that several arrows hit Zhong Wanchou's back. Such a magical skill was really unbelievable!

Although Zhong Wanchou rushed up with a fierce evil spirit, Zhao Ji was indeed a little inappropriate, so he might not have to kill him. He waved his hand and asked the guards to put away the crossbow machine, and then jumped off the wall under the two of them.

Zhong Wanchou has experienced the power of the crossbow machine and dared not be arrogant anymore. He is just violent in nature but will not be determined to die. He only turned to Zhong Ling and said, "Daughter, how did Dad teach you on weekdays? Have you forgotten? Such a young man with a bad heart is the most unscrupulous. He will avoid them when he sees them. Did he bully you? Tell Dad, if there is really, I will split him into two pieces with one knife!"

Zhao Ji stood several feet away and couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this, but he also felt that Zhong Wanchou was really weird. He just scolded his daughter for being extremely disgusted, but now he looked loving. If his temperament is not tough, he can't stand the ups and downs of turning around the book.

Seeing that his father was fine, Zhong Ling felt relieved. She was not very familiar with Zhao Ji, and she was really afraid that this person would be aroused from anger and would kill his father's life. He heard Zhong Wanchou shouting like this in the downtown market, and felt very embarrassed and annoyed. He lowered his head and pulled Zhong Wanchou's sleeve and whispered a few times. Zhong Wanchou pulled his daughter and turned away, but he turned around and glared at Zhao Ji a few times, looking very fierce.

Zhao Ji watched the father and daughter leave. Seeing that they had been walking far away, Zhong Ling turned around and quietly waved the silk handkerchief in his hand to say goodbye.

After being fussed by Zhong Wanchou, Zhao Ji lost interest in shopping and returned to the camp with the guards. Seeing that Zhao Ji was indifferent to his interest, several guards asked for instructions: "Prince, do you want to inquire about the place where the father and daughter are?"

Zhao Ji waved his hand with a smile. He caught up with Zhong Ling, but he was curious for a moment, wanting to see what kind of person this little girl is. Although the little girl was born beautiful and charming, he did not have the idea of ​​becoming more deep. It is true that everyone loves beauty, but if he wants to learn from that prince seeder, Zhao Ji was not very interested in taking mercy and planting all the way.

Let’s put aside the Zhong family’s father and daughter for a moment, Zhao Ji was very curious about the guards’ skills that forced Zhong Wanchou to retreat. He asked for a crossbow from a guard. The crossbow bow was nearly one meter wide and the crossbow arm was more than half a meter long. Usually, the two were separated, the crossbow arm was hung behind the waist, and the bow body was inserted obliquely between the ribs, which did not affect movement. Once used, it could be immediately extracted and assembled and wound, which was quite convenient.

Such a pair of crossbows weighing more than a hundred kilograms. Zhao Ji saw the guards playing with ease, but he almost used the strength to lift the whole crossbow. However, he had no strength to draw the strings and arrows. He couldn't help but admire the guards who played more than a hundred kilograms of crossbows as if nothing had happened. He couldn't help but ask: "How long did it take for you to practice these skills? Are there many people with these skills in the imperial guards?"

The guards couldn't help but laugh and said, "We are short of horses in the Song Dynasty. Bows and crossbows are the most important weapons in the stair formation, so the most important thing in the army is arm strength. These abilities of the villains are not surprising."

Although this answer is light, Zhao Ji naturally would not think it was that simple after trying it. If each of the 800,000 imperial guards had such extraordinary skills, it would not be a god block to kill gods and Buddhas! Sure enough, another guard smiled and said, "However, it is not easy to practice such a fire. It is impossible to do it by daily practice alone. The villain came from the Western Army and fought with the Qiang people and the Xixia people for a long time. If his hands and feet were slower, he would have died in the military formation. Therefore, most of these skills would still be forced to survive."

Hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel respect. He now realized that these guards were actually from the Western Army. The Western Army was the most elite unit of the Song Dynasty and fought the most hard. Like the Yang family generals of the Bo Mansion who went to fight to kill the enemy on the battlefield. Although it was only artistic shaping, it was based on the real story of the Western Army. In the northwest, there were many male men in the family who were killed, leaving only widows. The Western Army was brave and famous all over the world. Any soldier was a brave rebel like Lu Zhishen. Of course, it was impossible for everyone in the Western Army to be as brave as Lu Zhishen, but there was also a soldier named Han Shizhong. Four generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, three of them were from the Western Army. The bravery and good at fighting were evident. In comparison, the Liangshan bandits who were beautified too much by art were just a clown.

After knowing that the guards around him were born in the Western Army, Zhao Ji had more respect for them. Although they would return to the Western Army after this mission was completed, and the two sides might not have any intersection in the future, Zhao Ji's respect for them came from the heart without any other messy thoughts. During the Jingkang period, the Western Army served the king and saved the country. Since childhood, there have been countless people who sacrificed their lives for the country. Although it was difficult to turn the decline in the end, the remaining sparks still supported half of the country, which was indeed a true loyal and martyrdom army!

During the conversation, Zhao Ji asked again about the configuration of this powerful divine arm crossbow in the army, but learned that it is not easy to build this divine arm crossbow, and it is not easy to build it with the productivity of the Song Dynasty. There are only more than a thousand equipment in the vast western army. It is difficult to cause large-scale lethality in real battle formations. It is mainly used in the personal guards and elite scouts of the commander-in-chief. The main equipment in the army is still ordinary hard bows.

When Zhao Ji heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Unfortunately, he is not an engineering man with great knowledge and knowledge. Not to mention guiding an industrial revolution, he doesn't understand the process of making steelmaking in civilized steel, so it is difficult to make any contribution to improving military ordnance.

As soon as he returned to the camp, Cai Jing came to visit Zhao Ji. After a greeting, he mainly talked about it and went further to the territory controlled by Dali Kingdom, so his words and deeds needed to be solemn. Although Zhao Ji was a little curious, he would not completely ignore the mission on this mission. After hearing Cai Jing's words, he nodded and agreed to pay attention and stayed in the mission and would not go out for private action.

After the mission was resting overnight, he continued to set off the road the next day because he had just promised Cai Jing would not go out casually, so Zhao Ji didn't have the chance to say goodbye to Zhong Ling. However, he just met him by chance, so he didn't have to worry about it.

After three days of traveling south, Dali State was far away from the north gate of Zhenbei Pass, and the Dali State came to welcome the Song Dynasty mission. The team led by Duan Zhengchun, the king of Dali State in the south, and Gao Shengtai, the important minister of Shanchan, was already the most standard welcome team that Dali State can set up. Duan Zhengchun is the crown prince, but Gao Shengtai is the most popular minister of Dali State. If we go further, the king Duan Zhengming will have to come out of the pass and greet him.

The reason for such a grand welcome was that Dali Kingdom had never had much interaction with the Song Dynasty. The last time was Renzong who cut off the head of Nong Zhigao who fled into the country and gave it to the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the Dali Kingdom attached great importance to the Song Dynasty. The second reason was that Zhao Ji in the mission was the existence of the emperor and was also the emperor's brother, but his weight was much heavier than Duan Zhengchun.

The two sides met briefly outside the pass and had a conversation. Zhao Ji finally met Duan Zhengchun, the long-known King of Zhennan. Duan Zhengchun was about forty years old. He was elegant and graceful. He had a domineering noble spirit between him. Standing in front of the welcoming team, he was as outstanding as a crane. No wonder he attracted so many women to be attracted by it. Even Cai Jing and Prince Duan were surprised when they greeted him. He didn't expect that this small country in the southern border of Dali would have such a royal prince with outstanding temperament.
