Reading Tang Bing

Chapter 849; Reading Tang Bing

August of the fifth year of Zhenguan.

Chang'an City is overcrowded.

Men, women, young and old come to Chang'an City to watch the fun.

At the time of Si, Zhuque Street was crowded from south to north, and it was full of people.

The Northern Imperial Army dispatched 3,600 people, divided into two rows of javelins, blocking the people from both sides of the Great Death.

At the gate of Zhuque City, Li Shimin was wearing pure black court robes and sat upright, with civil and military officials on both sides, and then envoys from various countries.

"Here you come!"

"Look, here we are here..."

"Come?"

"Nonsense, how neat are you listening to the footsteps?"

"Tread, step..."

More than ten meters ahead of Li Shimin, a minister from the Ministry of Rites cleared his throat with a trumpet made of iron, stared at the south end of Zhuque Street.

Today, he took many ways to get this job, asking God and worshiping Buddha, so he dare not be careless.

Whether it is important civil and military officials or envoys from various countries, they all stretched their necks to look away.

Finally, the dark army came over in a row with sharp cone formations.

The Minister of Rites saw that he was about to get off the Suzaku gate, and then he picked up the trumpet and looked at the thick stack of paper in his hand.

"What we are walking by now is that there are two thousand imperial guards in the South Yaya, and the first military formation is the Iron Formation of the Infantry."

The five hundred men walked towards the gate of Zhuque City step by step with neat steps. The pure black armor wrapped the soldiers' bodies from head to toe.

The envoys from all over the country on the Zhuque City Tower were stunned, and a discordant voice broke the shocking scene.

"Oh, General Cheng, a certain family is just a civil servant and does not understand these military affairs, but looking at the armor worn by the men, it seems to be very powerful?

Can General Cheng explain one or two? I am very grateful!"

This civil servant really doesn't understand?

No!

This was arranged in advance by the court. Today, many civil servants will ask many questions. The three people with the largest voices in the court were arranged to answer.

That's right!

All guessed correctly.

They are the three fools in Chang'an who are famous all over the world.

Cheng Yaojin had already rolled up his sleeves and pinched his waist, and this was the problem that he was waiting for.

"Look at you who are ignorant all day long, these armors are the latest models of our dynasty. Ordinary swords cannot harm the bodies of children.

This is the first time that the battle on the grassland has been used. The usual full moon scimitar, if you cut on this kind of armor, you need three consecutive swords to cut off the armor leaves. If you want to break the armor with one sword, it is a delusion."

The civil servant who asked deliberately pretended to be very shocked;

"Oh my god, it's so amazing?"

Cheng Yaojin let go of his voice and answered with a happier expression;

"That's right, this kind of armor costs more than a hundred stakes in one set. How can it not be powerful?"

"Good guy! So expensive?"

"That's right, our dynasty has been in great harvest for two consecutive years. The people are not short of food and grain, and the treasury of the court is extremely plump. Spending some money is common. What's the point of being rare?"

"Then... General Cheng, the men and women who wore this armor and were cut three times to death, wouldn't they take a huge advantage?"

"Hahahaha, that's for sure. Think about it, it's okay for someone to cut me off, and then I stabbed it in and pierced the thief into a big hole. How can I not take advantage of it?"

"Really? General Cheng, don't coax me a civil servant?"

"What you said, I, a general from the Heavenly Dynasty, can you bully a fifth-rank civil servant?"

Cheng Yaojin looked unhappy and waved his hand to a soldier standing guard on the Zhuque City Tower;

"Come here!"

"There is man! General, please give me instructions!"

The soldier took two steps in one stroke, and Cheng Yaojin pulled out the knife that had been prepared in advance from his waist with a sting.

"Some people don't believe that we can resist swords and guns with armor. You should stand up. I will try the majesty of my Tian Dynasty armor with this sword."

The soldiers shouted;

"Get orders!"

Of course, this soldier was able to explain in advance.

Cheng Yaojin turned around without saying a word and went behind the soldier.

"Look at me, I cut this knife on Erlang's shoulders. The flesh here is thick and it is not easy to get hurt.

"ah……"

Cheng Yaojin slashed down with a knife, and a series of sparks immediately emerged from the armor on the soldier's back.

The imperial guards who were sitting on the horse with a heavy waist were not chopped down by Cheng Yaojin, but were also shocked by the powerful force and leaned forward, and then quickly stood up again.

Just looking at the soldiers' expressions that were holding back and the muscles twitching on their faces, the more than a hundred envoys who were watching carefully on the Zhuque City Tower all understood that Cheng Yaojin did not commit fraud, and this soldier obviously felt very painful.

Emperor Li Shimin had no expression and was still looking at the approaching infantry formations under the city tower, as if he was not concerned about the movements here at all.

Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly at the unbelieving civil servant;

"You believe it this time, right? If you don't believe it, you can check it. Whoever believes it doesn't, let's take a look. Although the armor is a little damaged, it doesn't matter..."

Cheng Yaojin was still pointing at the back of the imperial soldiers to explain. More than a hundred envoys gathered around dozens of them.

Seeing Li Shimin, who was more active than the other, and had no heads turned back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A large group of envoys checked the armor of the imperial soldiers with their own eyes and stared at the knife in Cheng Yaojin's hand! Many people began to whisper.

"What? This general's knife is not a paper-made knife, a real treasure knife."

"My boys!"

"People are here!"

"Finding me some previous weapons for me!"

A lieutenant-like side would agree immediately;

"The last one will receive orders!"

Cheng Yaojin took advantage of the time he went down to the city tower to find the weapons he had repelled before, and raised the Tang sword in a show of his performance;

"I can see it clearly. This is called a Tang Dao. The name given by my nephew is also a treasure of my Heavenly Dynasty. It is not a fool. It weighs three pounds and thirteen taels. If I hadn't held this Tang Dao, it would be impossible to cut out the most powerful armor of my head and cause damage."

"oh?"

"Will that general ask me to wait and see if it is true or false?"

"Yes, ask me to come and have a look!"

"That's right, if you say it's a precious sword, it's a precious sword? Who knows if it's a dull thing?"

Cheng Yaojin was about to lose his temper, but the captain grabbed two old weapons and ran over.

"Report to the general, the last one will be opened."

"Give me both."

"Get orders!"

Cheng Yaojin inserted the Tang sword into his waist, took two previous swords, and the two slashed each other twice, making a harsh sound.

"You can see if these two previous guys are true or false."

Cheng Yaojin sent his weapons out as he spoke, and dozens of envoys rushed to check.

"Well, it's indeed a real weapon, not a fake made of wood."

“It’s true.”

"Sure, do you guys?"

"alright."

"I've finished reading."

"Since you have finished reading it, it's time to confirm it. The person who came, holding this knife, will face me with me."

"only!"
