Chapter 204: A New Friend Called Furball
After separating from Kong Jing, Liu Yu walked to his own camp, different from the well-organized Flying Leopard military tent, the camp tent here is no different from the kind of Chase shop, forty or fifty men, crowded on two long straw mats, each person is about three feet wide space, even if it is a sleeping place, compared with the smell of sweat after daily training in the Flying Leopard camp, there is a little more choking smell of fireworks here, so that the newcomer Liu Yu is a little uncomfortable.
The people around him were very polite to Liu Yu, but they also had a respectful attitude, after all, on one side was a blacksmith who was hopeless, and it seemed impossible to get ahead, and even whether he would be punished or crippled or killed one day, and on the other side was a well-known sharp man in the whole army, no one thought that Liu Yu would stay here for a long time.
Liu Yu did not completely come out of the death of the aquatic life, unlike the previous time when he dreamed of Wang Miaoyin almost every day, the past two days have been a dream, and he has also kept seeing the aquatic face, so Liu Yu, who has always liked to take the initiative to make friends, is too lazy to meet his new partners at this time, and found a vacant seat, he almost fell asleep, and in this man who snores like thunder, he is not an outlier.
A voice sounded softly in Liu Yu's ears: "Brother Liu, have you ever fallen asleep?" ”
Liu Yu opened his eyes and followed the sound, only to see the yellow-faced young man standing guard at the camp gate in the morning, looking at him excitedly.
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "If you don't call me, I will fall asleep soon, little brother, what is your name, where is it?" ”
The yellow-faced young man smiled: "My name is Feng Qian, from Yizhou. Brother Liu, I really never dreamed that you would come to us. ”
Liu Yu said "oh" softly, he only felt that this young man spoke strangely during the day, he had never heard this kind of tone, but he didn't expect this person to be from Yizhou, his brows frowned: "Do Yizhou people also come to Beifu to serve as soldiers?" ”
A look of helplessness flashed on the yellow-faced young man's face: "Actually, I was not a Beifu soldier at first, but followed General Mao's troops." General Mao's family has guarded Liangzhou and Yizhou for generations, and our family has been his family's soldiers for several generations. This time, the imperial court sent troops to relieve the siege of San'a, and I also followed General Mao. ”
Liu Yu nodded: "General Mao's whole army collapsed in the first battle, and he only fled with dozens of horses, and you routed soldiers were contained by the Beifu soldiers?" ”
The yellow-faced young man Feng Qian scratched his head: "Yes, that battle is really a hell, it is said that the Qin army is hundreds of miles away, but when I was still sleeping, I heard the neighing of the war horses outside, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and when I came out of the tent, I saw everyone running, saying that the Qin army was killed." I just ran with them in a daze. ”
Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "You are General Mao's personal army, aren't you with General Mao?" ”
Feng Qian glanced at the black-faced sergeant beside him, and said in a low voice, "Young Master, say it yourself." ”
Liu Yu's heart moved, during the day, he felt that this black-faced sergeant was a little unusual, not like an ordinary soldier, but with a gesture, he had the bearing of a general, he looked at the black-faced sergeant, and said strangely: "Your Excellency, is it?" ”
The black-faced sergeant sighed and sat up: "I'm ashamed to say that I am the nephew of General Mao, and Mao Qiu is also." ”
Liu Yu's eyes widened: "Hairball? This name is really a bit of a bit, so are you the grandson of Mao Bao, a famous general of the Northern Expedition? ”
Maoqiu hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Yes, first father, my Mao family is a loyal martyr, a family of generals, guarding Liangzhou and Yizhou, my uncle was transferred to Beijing Suwei this time, and my children and nephews also accompanied me, this time I went north to resist Qin, I thought I could make contributions, but I didn't expect that, alas, overnight, the army collapsed, what face do I have, and then go back to the capital." Not only me, but also several of my brothers were also sheltered in various baggage camps, either to make quilts or to feed horses, which can be regarded as atonement. ”
Liu Yu nodded: "So, in this baggage camp, many of them are the remnants of General Mao that you have contained?" ”
Maoqiu sighed: "Yes, if we strictly follow the military order, we will all be punished, General Xie has given us a way to live, let us be guilty and meritorious in this blacksmith camp." Liu Yu, your name, I've heard a lot recently, you're different from us people, you only came here after an accident during training, and sooner or later you'll leave. ”
Liu Yu's eyes became gloomy: "I killed my brother with my own hands, I must be punished for the public, and I can't pass the hurdle of my conscience in private, I came here to atone for my sins, I can only be worthy of my brother's spirit in the sky by creating the best armor and the sharpest weapon!" ”
Maoqiu hooked the corners of his mouth: "However, don't say it, that Kong Mansion Master still has some ability, at least in the blacksmith industry, he is very good, after coming here, I have learned a lot of good ways to build iron armor and fine weapons, and I may be able to use it in the future." Liu Yu, I heard that the Beifu soldiers are the best soldiers, and they also need to be equipped with the best equipment, you are from the Flying Leopard Battalion, how do you feel? ”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Our equipment and armor are all taken from the arsenal, and I personally don't feel anything special." But today I met Master Kong, his family has been making ordnance for generations, but there are many eye-catching designs, I think, if you wear the armor here and equip the weapons here, it will definitely be different. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yu said: "Brother Mao, what are you doing here?" The above knows your identity, so they only let you guard the camp gate and stop striking iron? ”
Maoqiu shook his head: "No, we are in shifts to watch the door, compared to striking iron, this is much more leisurely." Tomorrow, though, we're going to have to build the armor again. Liu Yu, you have to follow us to make nails tomorrow. ”
Liu Yuqi said: "Is it just a nail piece?" Isn't it about making helmets, weapons, and so on? He was a little disappointed in his heart, at least he knew that forging requires strength very much, looking at the men who were wielding sledgehammers in the blacksmith shop today, their strength was far worse than their own, so he had some hope in his heart that he could follow Kong Jing to learn to wield sledgehammers and fight weapons tomorrow.
Maoqiu smiled: "Everything has to start from the basics, even if you Brother Liu is the same." Whoever comes to this blacksmith camp, no matter how big or small they are, will first do a month's chores, which is what you see today, carrying water and transporting ore. However, your situation is special, today the master of Kong has already given an order, and tomorrow you will be asked to follow us to fight the armor. ”
Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth: "Is it the armor of that kind of armor and scale armor?" What's so hard about that? ”
Maoqiu and Feng Qian were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled, and both lay down: "Tomorrow, you will know how difficult this little nail piece is!" ”
