I am engaged in construction in Datang

"I don't know." Li Xiaoqiu continued to wipe his spear with his head down.

It doesn't matter to her who is killed, she won't apply for the job unless the barracks she is in is transferred, then she will move with it.

Her original purpose of joining the army was to learn martial arts and protect the owner of the manor. She would not feel at ease if she was too far away from the manor.

For her, her combat power will also increase quickly by fighting in groups (1VS group) with soldiers on weekdays, and then doing some tasks such as catching thieves and punishing evil bandits.

"Are you really not interested?" Zhao Tianzhu was holding a newly sprouted grass in his mouth, his eyes full of disappointment. He originally wanted to drag his apprentice to apply for the job together and make achievements.

Li Xiaoqiu didn't answer. He stood up with his spear in hand, struck a pose, and pointed the spear at Zhao Tianzhu: "Let's fight!"

Zhao Tianzhu reacted quickly and retreated repeatedly: "Good boy, you bully me when I am unarmed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaoqiu rushed forward and said, "There is no mercy on the battlefield. Using your own strength to seize the enemy's weakness is the way to attack!"

Li Xiaoqiu's offensive did not slow down, but became more and more courageous.

"Old Zhao, look at the gun!"

Seeing that Zhao Tianzhu, who was unarmed, was about to fall into a disadvantage, Song Jin threw a spear in time.

Naturally, Li Xiaoqiu couldn't let the other party catch it steadily, so he pressed down with his right arm and raised his left hand to knock the gun away.

This is the disadvantage of sparring with acquaintances. If it were on the battlefield, Li Xiaoqiu would have stabbed the opponent through while he was holding his weapon.

After a thrilling fight, the two men sat together on the edge of the training ground to wipe their spears.

"You see, if you can't fight with real swords and guns, you will always be confined to a strange circle."

Zhao Tianzhu wiped Song Jin's spear clean, then rubbed some of Xiao Qiu's oil on it: "On the battlefield, I should have been pierced by you."

Li Xiaoqiu moved the oil tank towards himself, physically refusing the other party to take advantage of his opportunity to use the oil again.

"My dear disciple, follow me to the battlefield." Zhao Tianzhu continued to deceive: "A man's ambition is to conquer the world and make achievements."

This time, Li Xiaoqiu not only moved the oil tank, but also moved his butt away from Zhao Tianzhu: "I don't have that ambition. Didn't you think I was just here to get experience?"

She continued to nod and said, "You guessed right."

Although she was not looking for a resume, she was attracted by the martial environment in the military.

You will definitely not be able to find so many good sparring partners outside, but here you just need to stretch out your hand, hook your index finger, and then shout "Come here~", and the other party will definitely beat you up.

When learning martial arts, the first thing you learn is your ability to withstand blows and your reaction speed, and only then will you explore the moves that suit you.

"Ask me to catch a few thieves in a couple of days. It will be considered as practice."

After Li Xiaoqiu finished speaking, he continued to grease his spear.

Zhao Tianzhu couldn't find any words to refute for a moment, and opened his mouth several times and closed it again.

He almost forgot that Xiao Qiu had someone above him!

Just when he was feeling depressed, Song Jin, accompanied by the brigade commander, the captain, the captain and a few strangers, came towards him with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

"Zhao Tianzhu!"

Song Jin looked at the man's drooping face and suddenly felt angry: "What are you doing? You look sick and listless."

"Old Song..." As soon as Zhao Tianzhu opened his mouth, Song Jin glared at him fiercely.

What Lao Song?

You have to call Captain Song!

"Hey, Captain Song!" Zhao Tianzhu suddenly jumped up and stood at attention.

Over there, Li Xiaoqiu had already put down the work in his hands and stood upright in front of everyone.

Song Jin continued, "Cen Zhonglang, generals, these two are the most talented soldiers in my team."

"This is Zhao Tianzhu, and the other one is Xiao Qiu, a new young man who is also Zhao Tianzhu's direct disciple."

Cen Zhonglang looked the two of them up and down.

"Are you Zhao Tianzhu?"

"Yes!" Zhao Tianzhu held his head high and chest out. He still had a reputation for being quite fierce.

"I've heard of you. You worked without sleep for three days and nights and wiped out a squad of 50 enemy men." Cen Zhonglang's eyes were full of admiration, but he was too eccentric and not suitable to be a military general.

He could have been offered the position of an 'honorary' general, but he also made many mistakes due to his eccentricity.

After giving rewards and punishing punishments, in the end all he got was a team leader.

"Can you shoot archery?"

"Yes!" Zhao Tianzhu answered loudly, but he was not very proficient in it.

The bow and arrow is a long-range attack weapon. If the opponent is highly skilled in martial arts and wears thick armor and holds a shield, the archer will be helpless.

Unless they are in a team that specializes in training archers, other soldiers rarely practice archery, because the usage rate is too low and it takes a long time.

Nowadays, wars are fought layer by layer. Only when the people in the front row die can the people in the back row fill in.

All rotation tactics are just bluffing. You can still switch when there is distance. When two soldiers are handing over, it still depends on their own hard work.

"I'm not good at archery, but my disciple Xiao Qiu can shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away. He's really good."

"..." Li Xiaoqiu was suddenly stabbed in the back and was speechless for a long time.

She refused, "Cen Zhonglang, Xiao Qiu is a government soldier. Wherever the captain points, Xiao Qiu is going."

The implication was that she would only follow the captain and would not leave the barracks.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, including the captain to whom Xiao Qiu expressed his loyalty. Why didn't he realize that Xiao Qiu was so loyal before?

Thinking of this, tears welled up in my eyes.

Cen Zhonglang laughed a few times, looking pleased: "Isn't this a coincidence? Your palace soldier captain is also accompanying the army this time."

"!!?"

Li Xiaoqiu looked confused.

The captain has gone to fight with the army. Does their barracks still have a backbone?

"I came here this time just to pick some good men to train secret weapons, not to pick people to go into battle." Cen Zhonglang looked at Li Xiaoqiu and Zhao Tianzhu, his expression becoming more and more satisfied.

"You mean, my battalion needs to follow the army?"

Li Xiaoqiu confirmed again.

It's just to destroy Gaochang, is it necessary to mobilize so many troops?

"Only 300 people are selected, and your team happens to be among them." Cen Zhonglang said with a smile: "This time the superiors have ordered that the safety of every soldier must be guaranteed."

This requires more logistics.

……

Honglu Temple.

Kan Lizhi paced back and forth in the room. Since he sent the last letter to Qu Wentai, he had not received any letter from Gaochang.

"Why has there been no movement for so long?"

"It shouldn't be..."

Normally, Qu Wentai would write a letter every month to inform him of the latest situation in Gaochang and then give him instructions and assign tasks.

But this time, the letter was about ten days overdue.

An envoy like him who moves between countries can always keenly notice the differences.

For example, this time, the frequency of patrolling yamen runners on the streets has increased, and many shops in the East and West Markets have started that... clearance sale!

No matter how you look at it, it looks like someone is making money quickly.

Why hoard money?

What is the most expensive thing?

It must be a war!

Beads of sweat appeared on Kan Lizhi's forehead.
