Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 239: Sword and Shield
Early the next morning, Wu Yong led his team to Dongping Prefecture.

Zhao Zhen got up, stretched his arms and legs as usual, and then had breakfast with Cheng Wan'er and the others. It seemed that because of the mulberry feast yesterday, they had dumplings made with mulberries in the morning.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhang Yun in Cheng Wan'er's arms, frowning, and was very resistant to the dumplings in front of him. He asked, "Madam, if Xiao Yun doesn't want to eat, forget it."

After hearing what Zhao Zhen said, Zhang Yun nodded quickly and said, "It's bitter and not delicious. It's not delicious. Yesterday, my mother made me eat such a big plate of it." Then she opened her little hands and gestured with her claws and teeth.

It made a few people laugh.

Cheng Wan'er said, "Sir, yesterday, Wu Sanniang, Hei Sijie, and the women of the other families and I ate the berries of the willow tree in the back. Among these little ones, our daughter is the most delicate. Miao Xiang from Xiao County Cheng's family and Ruan Liang from Ruan Xiaoer's family all ate with gusto."

Zhang Yun heard this and said anxiously, "Dad, I ate too, I ate too. I ate too much last night, so I don't want to eat today."

After teasing Zhang Yun for a while, Zhao Zhen got up and went to the front hall.

Seeing that Shi Xiu was competing with Jiao Ting on the training ground, Zhao Zhen did not disturb them and just stood aside and watched.

One of them used a broadsword, the other a goose-feather sword, and they held both swords together, one slashing at the man's face, the other sweeping at his waist. The two fought back and forth, over and over, for more than forty rounds.

Although the blades were wrapped, Zhao Zhen was still afraid that the two would get hurt, so he picked up a gun from the shelf and separated them in the middle. He shouted, "Two brothers, please stay here. Let's stop here today."

Shi Xiu and Jiao Ting put away their weapons and laughed loudly. Shi Xiu shouted, "What a pleasure."

Zhao Zhen asked the two men to change their clothes, and invited all the heroes in the village to sit in front of the house. Under the sun, Zhao Zhen asked, "Brother Shi Xiu, with your martial arts, it is not too much for you to be a captain here. I wonder if you would like to join the cavalry or the infantry?"

Shi Xiu said, "Sir, although I have learned to ride a horse and know some horsemanship, I am still better at fighting on foot."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Since you are willing to be the head of the infantry, I will not stop you. The Wanzi City camp is training soldiers right now, and the county's uncle and nephew Zou Yuan and Zou Run are also selecting soldiers there. They are going to train the two capitals' [Armor-piercing Axe Soldiers]. You can also learn from them and teach them some of your own martial arts to develop your own characteristics."

After hearing this, Shi Xiu asked, "Sir, I wonder which soldiers there are in the county?"

Zhao Zhen pointed at Bao Xu who was sitting next to him and said, "Brother Bao Xu is good at broadsword and machete. He selected soldiers with tall stature, taught them the methods of heavy sword and machete, and put on infantry armor. They marched like a forest on the battlefield and were invincible. They were named [Chongfeng Du]. Originally there were only a hundred people, and now another hundred people have been selected, one for heavy sword and one for machete. It's a pity that the county doesn't have enough infantry armor. This time, Wu Xuejiu went to Dongping Prefecture to see if he could get some armor back."

"For example, Brother Jiao Ting has a group of Pudao soldiers under his command, and he also has 30 to 50 sumo wrestlers. Brother Shi Qian is like a scout in the army, he picked the smart and short ones to gather information everywhere."

After hearing this, Shi Xiu said, "Sir, I am good at using a single sword, which is a skill I learned in martial arts. I am a little weak against a broadsword or a spear. Does the Sir have any ideas?"

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Liu Tang, who is stationed at the Haoshanfeng camp, is good at using Pudao, but he has taken a different approach and, together with Coach Zhang, has trained a group of sword and shield soldiers. If you have no idea, why don't you learn how to use the side shields in the army and train a group of sword and shield soldiers as well?"

"Although the county does not have enough infantry armor, we have seized more than 300 pieces of iron armor this time, and we will give you 100 pieces. The county also has 300 thirty-refined swords, and we will also give you 100 pieces. You can also go to the warehouse to find suitable side armors. This way, the soldiers will have enough armaments, and they can attack or defend on the battlefield."

Shi Xiu listened, thought about it for a while, and agreed. Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Ji to take Shi Xiu to the Wanzi City camp, and Zhao Zhen also packed up and prepared to return to the main world. Before leaving, Zhao Zhen used the Tiangang Disha Order to summon the opportunity as usual.

The grasshopper has a pointy head and bright eyes, and the heron has skinny legs with no flesh at all.

Lu Yao walked as fast as flying, Wang Dingliu by the Yangtze River.

In February, the luck consumed was 10. The inferior star [Living Flashy Woman] Wang Dingliu heard that Liangshan County was recruiting talents, and he came here soon.

Because of his busy schedule in January, although he had not used the ordinary summons, Zhao Zhen did not waste the Disha summons. However, the person he summoned this time was named Bai Waerhan, and it was obvious that he was not a Chinese, and he had not arrived yet. Because the name was difficult to pronounce, Zhao Zhen almost forgot it if he hadn't read the Tiangang Disha Order today.

But Zhao Zhen packed up, said something to Cheng Wan'er, and returned to the main world on the parade ground, taking the willow mulberries and other things with him.

Zhao Zhen first met Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi, chatted with them, left two portions of willow mulberries, took ten soldiers, and went to the city.

After arranging the soldiers who came with her, Ji Qingwan asked, "Husband, is the fantasy world safe?"

Zhao Zhen nodded and replied, "Zhujiazhuang has been razed, and only Zhu Yongqing is gone. His family is related to the commander-in-chief of the town's imperial army, so there may be more fights in the future."

Ji Xuan asked, "Husband, why is it so uneasy there?"

Zhao Zhen said, "Madam, I have been in contact with you these days and I have asked my teacher. My place seems to be a world of novels. I am afraid there will be no shortage of fighting in the future. Fortunately, I have recruited some heroes from the martial arts world. The terrain of my place is dangerous. I am careful and cautious. I don't worry about being occupied by others."

Ji Xuan said: "My husband has spent much more time in the fantasy world than in the main world. It will take nearly 20 years to merge the fantasy worlds. We are always apart more than together."

Zhao Zhen said, "I can't do that. I can't give up the fantasy world. The fantasy world is more stable, so I'll stay in the main world longer. I brought some willow berries this time, and I've divided them up. Wang Wangshi, Black Ant and the other two also have some. I've picked out six portions and sent them to my father. There are still a dozen portions left. I'll ask Lu Sanlang in front if he has any connections."

Ji Xuan was hungry and asked with a smile: "Husband, what are the effects of this willow mulberry?"

Zhao Zhen said: "If your physical fitness is less than 25, eat pills, and your physical fitness will improve a little. But it will taste slightly bitter."

Ji Xuan said: "Husband, you don't have to look for Lu Sanlang, I have a market here."

Zhao Zhen looked at Ji Xuan in surprise and said, "What connections do you have, but you want to sell it to your brothers and sisters?"

Ji Xuan said, "My husband, I have been doing business for many years. Spiritual objects that can improve physical fitness are always in short supply. If I just exchange them for gold and silver, it will be easy. I am also thinking about whether I can exchange some spiritual materials."

Zhao Zhen said: "If we can exchange spiritual materials, that would be the best. Even if we can't, armor, war horses, fine iron, and even secret manuals can all be traded."
