Steel Chang'an

Chapter 60

"Hehe, I have said long ago that whether a knight is good or bad has nothing to do with whether he is a nobleman or a commoner," Li Jing said lazily in the tiger armor, "After all, no matter whether he is a nobleman or a commoner, it is inevitable that there will be so many You are a shameless person, especially the kind who deliberately paints the mecha like a cute little princess, and paints two roses on the chest to pretend to be a female knight, and is dedicated to tricking young and ignorant virgin knights, you Do you mean it, Xiao Zhangfei?"

"It's you, Li Jing!" Lao Zhang obviously has a deep psychological shadow on Li Jing. Just because of the sudden operation of the shot just now and the very angry tone, he has already locked the gun in the tiger armor. Who is it, who doesn't use voiceprint to compare, and immediately blurts out, "Why did you come to Donglin, you old bastard?"

"Don't worry, I'm here to deal with business, not you!" Li Jing said righteously, "Tell me, are you pretending to be a female knight again and playing with my apprentice's feelings? Are you so old? Are you embarrassed?" !"

"Your apprentice?" The Vajra armor deliberately turned his head, looked Mu Yun up and down, "This kid is quite honest, can't he be your apprentice?"

"Also, I've said this hundreds of times. My old Zhang likes pink, and I like to paint mechs like flowers. What's in the way? Those silly noble knights like to paint my old mecha As a female knight, Zhang wanted to take pity on her, but she didn't have the ability, but was blown away by my old Zhang, so is it my old Zhang's fault?"

"Hehe..." Li Jing smiled, shook the spear in his hand, and Lao Zhang quickly said: "But I really didn't lie to your apprentice, if you don't believe me, you can ask him! To deal with such a junior, I still need my old Zhang to sell my beauty, my old Zhang There's nowhere to put this old face, right?"

Thank you so much!Before Mu Yun had time to vomit, she heard Lao Zhang continue, "I also lied to him that Xiao Ye Zi is a beautiful woman, and this kid was really affected. Just now, Xiao Ye Zi sneaked up on him from behind, and he was not willing to give it to him." He has a shot."

ah?Mu Yun was dumbfounded.He recalled the previous confrontation process, and he also faintly noticed that this old Zhang had been giving him psychological hints, even though he had never seen the little leaf in this ninja, whether it was male or female, beautiful or ugly, it was even more for this little one. Ye Zi didn't mean anything at all, but under Lao Zhang's repeated emphasis, he unknowingly accepted the setting that the knight in the Bumblebee armor is a beautiful woman, and he was unknowingly affected psychologically, as if he really He feels a little pity for this little leaf, and the reaction is tactically, that is, he would rather fight Lao Zhang's fist, and never thought of giving a shot to the wild bee armor of the "big beauty" behind him-after all, if it is normal Under such circumstances, turning around and blasting away the ninja armor with little defense ability, clearing the path behind, keeping a distance from the heavy armor, and using your long-range advantage is the correct way to play.

It is impossible for Mu Yun to think of such a simple idea, but today he became confused. If Li Jing hadn't arrived in time, and he and Lao Zhang had suffered the damage from the bombing explosion, the damage of the Cheetah armor would have been worse than that of King Kong. The battle armor was much more serious, and it was Lao Zhang's turn to blow him up easily.

I really am too naive!Mu Yun was very ashamed, and only heard Lao Zhang say: "Speaking of which, your apprentice is good at fighting, but you are a little simple, why don't you teach your apprentice your old, cunning, despicable and shameless ways?"

"Hehe, how do you teach this kind of thing hand in hand? You can only rely on him to figure it out slowly in actual combat. Let him fight you a few more times, and you will definitely make great progress." Li Jing said modestly, " That little leaf is your apprentice? I think you taught him very well!"

As Li Jing was talking, the spear of the Tiger Armor was suddenly thrown backwards, and the hidden state was activated again. While Lao Zhang was talking to Li Jing, the Wild Bee Armor, which was about to sneak away, was nailed to the wall .

"He almost slipped away by accident." Li Jing shook his head, "You chatted with me for so long just to cover him up?"

"Nonsense," Lao Zhang said angrily, "Could it be that I know you very well and have a good relationship?"

"Huh? Every time you come to Chang'an to commit crimes, I have caught you. Isn't that familiar?" Li Jing said in surprise, "At least I beat you up seventeen or eight times, right?"

"Hey, leave some room for being a human being, don't force me to say that you treated me like a woman and wanted to cheat on me!"

"So what?" Li Jing dismissed it with disdain, "After seeing your true face, didn't I blow you up immediately."

It turns out that there is such a past between you two!Mu Yun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and couldn't help complaining, but he heard Lao Zhang's roar from the Vajra armor: "Since you are merciless, don't blame me, Lao Zhang, for being ruthless!"

"Boy, step aside! My old Zhang is going to fight this old man to the death today!"

As expected of Zhang Fei!The King Kong battle armor has been blown up like this, and dare to challenge a tiger battle armor with almost no battle damage-not to mention the Li Jing in the battle armor who has blown up Lao Zhang seventeen or eight times!Mu Yun couldn't help admiring Lao Zhang's brave spirit of seeking death, but then he thought again: No, this old Zhang seems to be brave, but every time he tries his best, he only makes a move when he has something to gain. , what is the situation now?
Sure enough, I only heard Li Jing say, "Hehe, let him stand aside and make way for you, so that you can run away, right?"

Almost got scammed again!Mu Yun was very angry, and the sniper cannon of the cheetah armor locked firmly on the King Kong armor, fearing that this old Zhang would play some tricks again, he said coldly: "It's a duel between you, I will never intervene, but if you want to If you run away, eat me!"

I saw the King Kong armor and the tiger armor turning their heads towards Mu Yun at the same time. Although the armor itself was expressionless, Mu Yun somehow felt the idiot-like gazes from the two inside the armor: "I said What's wrong?"

"Hmph, do you really think that your master is so familiar with me, Lao Zhang, that there is so much nonsense to talk about when we meet?" Lao Zhang said with a sneer, "Your master has been deliberately delaying time from the beginning, He has dragged on until now, so it's time for Teng Jiaxing's brigade, Teng Jiabing, to have a fight!"

"That's right, the Tengjia soldiers of the brigade have arrived, hand over Butler Ji, and capture him without a fight!"

In the dark night, a frame of Tengjia soldiers lifted their concealment mode and emerged from the darkness. Mu Yun lowered his head to check the points on the thermal imaging map, and found that there were actually two teams of twenty Tengjia soldiers distributed on this road. Around the street, the complete blockade and siege of this street has been completed!

Surrounded by another team of Tengjia soldiers, walking towards this narrow street at the head of the horse is a [-]-ton special mecha carrying a flaming long sword, shining golden light, and majestic. It is Xiao Teng Wang. My car - Golden Lion!
"The little prince is on tour, what a grand occasion!"

Just listen to the King Kong battle armor, Lao Zhang said loudly.Facing the heavy siege of Teng Jiabing, the reaction of the Vajra Armor, who had been determined to escape by cheating before, seemed calm and composed at this moment!
"I've heard for a long time that the little prince's golden lion is golden in color and shines every step of the way. It's a layer of real gold leaf on the outer armor of the mecha. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation! It's so majestic, so domineering, so good A rich and powerful man!"

Lao Zhang spoke loudly, and the two giant palms of the Vajra armor hit each other, and the deafening applause echoed on the narrow street.

"It's rare for the young prince to come here. He came to my old Zhang's territory in person. He is really a noble person who can't even be invited!"

"Since that's the case, I, Old Zhang, can't lose my courtesy! It's too shabby for just two people to entertain the young prince. It's rumored that my old Zhang's old face doesn't know where to put it. Don't you think so, young prince? ?”

King Teng has not yet answered, but he heard a series of strange whistles from the King Kong armor——

"Brothers, cheer up my old Zhang and treat the young prince well! Let the young prince see the demeanor of our Rose Knights, and see what the use of the mechas we robbed from Teng Jiaxing is. , so that the little prince can feel at ease!"

what!
Mu Yun looked down, and saw dozens of red marks suddenly lit up on the holographic thermal energy map in the cabin, densely distributed on various streets, and they were moving towards this narrow street!

In this abandoned city, besides the thirty Tengjia soldiers brought by King Teng, there are as many as sixty [-]-ton mechas lying in ambush!
These mechas must have been robbed by the Rose Knights from Tengjiahang several times before, as Lao Zhang said, and they had been ambushing in this abandoned city from the very beginning. The mechas are all hiding in the abandoned factory buildings, and they have been in a dormant state all the time. It is no wonder that neither Mu Yun nor Li Jing has been aware of the existence of so many mechas after entering this abandoned city for so long!

"Brother Zhang, you still kept this hand, why didn't you say it earlier!" Although the wild bee armor was still nailed to the wall by the spear in Li Jing's hand, Xiao Yezi couldn't help but cheered in surprise and joy.

"Say it sooner? If you said it earlier, would you be able to hold your breath? If you weren't chased by that kid and ran around like a lost dog, wouldn't he suspect that there was an ambush here? If it wasn't for my old Zhang who blew himself up into a mess , does the old man really think that my old Zhang is at the end of his rope?" He only listened to Lao Zhang's earnest teaching, "This kind of thing is all about acting, if your acting skills are not in place, then you can only rely on your true colors to perform."

It was only then that Mu Yun realized: Ever since he chased the wild bee armor into this abandoned city, they had already stepped into the trap of the Knights of the Rose!Previously, the Vajra battle armor was flanked by Mu Yun and Li Jing back and forth, and all kinds of embarrassing gestures were just the hypocrisy of that old Zhang, whose purpose was to trick the brigade of Teng Jia soldiers into this abandoned city!
"Hahahahahaha," Lao Zhang looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and yelled at Li Jing, "how, are you scared?"

"Hehe, you're already bluffing. If I said I'm not afraid at all, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to you?" Li Jing said, "It's just because of your friendship that I have beaten up seventeen or eight times. I also want to ask you, are you afraid?"

"Me? What do I have to be afraid of?" Although Lao Zhang was still laughing, his laughter was a little dry. "All the brothers of our Rose Knights add up to sixty armors, which is twice as many as yours. Surrounding you all around, what am I afraid of?"

"Of course you are afraid of me!" Li Jing said as a matter of course, "With me in command here, thirty well-trained Tengjia soldiers, against your sixty mob, will the outcome be very suspenseful?"

"Even if you have been beaten by me seventeen or eight times, I have to admit that your strength is very strong. Even if I don't go all out, I may be blown up by you," Li Jing said, "But your group Brothers, how many can reach your strength?"

"Little Yezi should be the most talented among your brothers, right?" Li Jing continued, "The other three you sent to attack the hangar should be regarded as the masters of your Rose Knights, right?" ? It is rare for a commoner knight to have such strength. Among your remaining brothers, there may not be more than ten with such strength, right?"

"What's more, your sixty mechas should be all you got from robbing Teng Jiahang's hangar twice recently. As a commoner, I had no chance to touch mechas in the past. Among your brothers, probably more than half of them are It's the first time to drive a battle armor, and you have no actual combat experience at all, do you want them to die that much?"

"Unless..." Li Jing narrowed his eyes, "You originally planned to let them die."

"If that's the case, I would like to ask you, what kind of enmity do you have with King Teng? Even if you really have a deep hatred with King Teng, you can exchange more than 60 lives for one of King Teng. , do you think it's worth it?"

After Li Jing finished speaking, there was a few seconds of silence.The expressionless mecha stood motionless on the desolate waste street, but for some reason, Mu Yun felt a little sad.

"You're right." In the Vajra armor, Lao Zhang finally said, "I'm really scared, afraid that I'll send these brothers to their deaths."

"I don't have any personal grievances with King Teng. The purpose of robbing Teng Jiaxing is simply to get mechas, arm my brothers, and form a real civilian knight order. On this continent ruled by mechas, there are The aristocrats of the mechs set all the rules, and the civilians have no room for resistance as long as they abide by them, and only when the civilians have their own knights, those nobles will listen to us and change their game rules to be fair a little."

"This time we got information that King Teng will appear in this remote hangar near the lower city. This is a rare opportunity. We also want to get a big ticket. We will tie up King Teng directly and exchange King Teng with Teng Jiahang. A batch of mechas and weapons is much more efficient than our robbing the hangars of Teng Jia Hang.”

"Originally, my brothers were in ambush here, and they planned to ambush Teng Jiaxing's pursuers. Even though my brothers were a little weaker, the price of soldiers has changed dramatically. Teng Jiaxing himself doesn't have any outstanding knight talents, let alone The tactics are commanded, and I will command and sit in the town. It is easy for 60 people to fight three or four teams of Teng Jiabing."

Hearing Lao Zhang's words, Mu Yun became more and more curious about who this Lao Zhang was - he had already seen Lao Zhang's skills, and even Li Jing admitted that he had to go all out to defeat Lao Zhang, but he heard With Lao Zhang's tone, he is also very good at tactical command?You must know that a knight's skills can be honed by himself, but tactical command, if he has never been on a real battlefield and led an army, even if he memorizes "The Travels of the Knights" by heart, it is just a theory. .

But this old Zhang, as a commoner knight, where did he get the opportunity to lead the army to fight?

For a while, Mu Yun didn't know whether this old Zhang was really so powerful, or if he was just bragging, and only heard Lao Zhang continue: "You are right, the four of Xiao Yezi and the others are indeed among the commoner knights. Although they are not as good as the real masters among the noble knights, they are more than enough to deal with the kind of apprentice knights taught by Eagle Castle at a glance. Especially Xiao Yezi, his talent It's amazing, and I have some doubts that he is the illegitimate son of some noble lord."

What does the amazing talent of a commoner knight have to do with the illegitimate son of a noble lord?Mu Yun was a little confused when he heard what Lao Zhang said. He remembered that Little Teng Wang seemed to have said something about the talent of knights. He didn't understand what it meant, but he felt that it seemed very important.

Mu Yun was thinking about it, but she heard Li Jing say: "Well, according to what you said, if I hadn't happened to come to Donglin, and happened to appear in the secret hangar of King Teng, your actions would It’s really nothing to lose.”

"That's not true. Didn't Xiao Yezi catch the wrong person?" Lao Zhang admitted, "It's all my fault that I didn't take this kid out to see the world. Staying in the slums, if you see someone with better clothes, you will think it is King Teng, what a prospect, hey!"

"But then again, if you weren't here, I would be sure to win Xiao Teng Wang now." Lao Zhang said, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and cursed, "Your second uncle's legs! You say you Why do you come to Donglin for nothing? Every time I meet you, I know that something is wrong! You are such a scourge, and no one can deal with you after so many years, why don't you go and die yourself?"

"It's coming soon," Li Jing comforted him, "It's just that I'm still alive, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do, of course I'm fighting with you!" Lao Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want them to die in vain. In my eyes, King Teng's dog's life is worthless to any of my brothers. It’s incomparable! But if we are defeated and the brothers are captured alive, it will be a dead end, why not fight with you?”

"Yes, if you are capable, commanding [-] Tengjia soldiers can kill our [-] brothers, but my brothers risked their lives, and [-] mechas blew up their core power furnaces around this street, that is Sixty small-yield nuclear bombs exploded at the same time, do you think you can walk out of this street alive?"

As Lao Zhang said, the King Kong battle armor raised a pair of giant palms towards the dark sky, knocked on his chest armor, made a dull loud noise, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with them!"

"Fight with them!" From all directions of the abandoned street, the sound of various weapons hitting the mech's chest armor was heard, shaking the dust, stones and sand from the abandoned buildings around!Although Teng Jiabing was well-trained, he still stood motionless and let the sand and stones hit the mecha, but it is unknown how the people in the mecha were terrified and trembling.

Hey, you guys were just robbers who wanted to kidnap people, why did the robbery have to be so tragic!Mu Yun was very puzzled in his heart: It's okay for Zhang Fei to fight with his own life if he fights so fiercely, why the tactics he formulated are so desperate!Having said that, I really don't want those brothers to die, wouldn't it be enough not to expose them to ambush here in the first place?

Could it be... this old Zhang is cheating again?Thinking that he had been deceived by this old Zhang no less than three times today, Mu Yun's mind immediately cleared up: this old Zhang didn't intend to send his brothers to death at all, he knew from the very beginning that Li Jing was here Commander, he already clearly understood that even if he had ambushed sixty mechas in this abandoned city, he would not be able to defeat the three teams of Tengjia soldiers, but he still wanted to expose the existence of these sixty mechas for one purpose. ——

Sure enough, Li Jing sighed and said, "You are a naked threat."

"That's right, what's wrong with threatening you?" Lao Zhang said confidently, "Teng Jia's soldiers retreated, and everyone broke up. Fate, realize this threat!"

"By the way, I'm not negotiating with you. Your life was worth 2000 million before. Now that the rewards have been cancelled, your dog's life is worthless again. Get the hell out of here and don't get in the way." !” After Lao Zhang finished speaking to Li Jing, he suddenly smiled slyly, “But there are people here who still value their own lives, don’t they, my little lord?”

"Of course my life is very valuable, but your threats are useless to me."

Little King Teng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, "For a genius like me, whose riding skills are ordinary but whose life is very valuable, when building his own battle armor, naturally the most important thing is how to save his life."

"The combat power of this Golden Lion is actually not very good, because no matter how high the combat power is in my hands, it can't be used, but its defense power is incomparable to any special mecha on the mainland."

"In addition to the double-layer Amaterasu alloy armor, the frame and bones of this mecha are all made of Amaterasu alloy, and even the cabin shell is made of multi-layer Amaterasu alloy and special fireproof and explosion-proof materials. With an independent life support system, the entire cabin can be completely sealed when necessary, ejected from the body, the automatic flight system can fly at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, and the independent energy source can last for about [-] hours."

What kind of battle armor is this? It's just a moving turtle shell!Mu Yun was dumbfounded when he heard this: It’s no wonder King Teng boasted that his Golden Lion’s defense is the best in the world, regardless of mobility and attack power, all of which are designed for the purpose of defense, and the defense is not high. ?

"So you see," Xiao Teng Wang let the golden lion spread his hands, and said to Lao Zhang, "If you use sixty mechas to explode yourself, the destructive power produced can indeed blow up this street. My three teams of Tengjia soldiers It is estimated that it will be finished, but for the golden lion, at most it is damaged to the extent of the frame bone. Even at the moment of the explosion, I can let the golden lion pop out of the cockpit. The speed of [-] kilometers per hour is enough for me to fly. To safety. In any case, your explosion is not a threat to me."

The Vajra Battle Armor stood there silently.Mu Yun guessed that Lao Zhang's face must be very ugly at this moment.But I heard King Teng continue to say:

"Of course my life is very valuable, but you also said that in your eyes, the life of each of your brothers is as valuable as mine."

"In that case, how about I make a deal with you?"

"Give me back Steward Ji, the mech you stole from me earlier will be his ransom."

"As for the sixty lives of your brothers, plus the lives of the three people I imprisoned in the hangar, in exchange for you to fight for me in this year's spring hunting, do you think it's worth it?"
