A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The old man was very happy.

(Bracelet)

Lu Cheng brought Ding Baiying, his master and his apprentice to a pretty good restaurant, ordered a table of wine, and invited them to have a good meal.

After the meal, seeing how generous Lu Cheng was, Ding Chong and Ding Tai became closer to him.

After eating and drinking, Lu Cheng walked out of the restaurant and turned to Ding Baiying and said, "Miss Ding, thanks to your guidance these days, I have made such progress in swordsmanship."

"Brother Lu, don't be so polite. Didn't you also teach me the art of close combat? We can teach each other, and there is no need to thank each other."

"Okay, but I have prepared a small gift for Miss Ding. Please don't refuse it."

As he said, Lu Cheng took out an object wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Ding Baiying.

Ding Baiying was still a little curious: "What is this?"

"Won't you know if you open it and take a look?"

Ding Baiying took it subconsciously and opened it. She saw that there was a silver bracelet inside. The shape of the bracelet was large and ordinary, but it was carved with two peach blossoms, which looked particularly delicate and beautiful.

Although there were many fakes in the jewelry stored by Lu Cheng, this bracelet was real. Although it is only a few hundred yuan, the workmanship is quite fine, which is rare in this era.

At first sight, Ding Baiying liked it a little, but then he hurriedly wanted to return it: "Brother Lu, I can't accept this gift. This is for women..."

"Is Miss Ding not a woman?"

"That's not what I mean, it's just that..."

"Miss Ding, this is the first time I have given a gift to a woman in my life, please don't refuse. I will leave first, goodbye."

After saying that, Lu Cheng turned around and left, not giving the other party a chance to refuse.

"Hey, Brother Lu..."

Ding Baiying shouted loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, and he quickly put away the bracelet in his hand.

Ding Chong and Ding Tai, who were waiting on the side, came over immediately. Ding Chong smiled and said, "Master, we both saw it just now. What gift did that Brother Lu give you? Can I see it too?"

"Nothing, let's go quickly."

"Really nothing? I saw it all."

"Okay, go back quickly. Also, did you call him Brother Lu? He is of the same generation as me and my senior brother, you should call him Uncle."

"Yes, yes, Uncle and Uncle are both surnamed Lu, I don't know if there is any difference between these two Lu."

For the next period of time, Lu Cheng not only exercised his physical fitness and practiced swordsmanship every day. He would go to Xiong Tingbi from time to time to talk to him about the situation in Liaodong and his own views.

At the same time, Lu Cheng was also making some preparations for going to Liaodong.

Lu Cheng no longer needed to prepare medicines, poisons, weapons, etc. He prepared two or three Yan Chi Dao and Miao Dao as spares, as well as many swords and guns he had picked up on the battlefield before.

Even a precious sword forged with hundred-fold steel can be bent after a brutal bloody battle.

Just like in the original drama, when Ding Baiying fought to the last moment, a good Miao Dao was cut into a jagged shape.

It is still necessary to prepare more weapons for your own use.

Not only that, Lu Cheng also asked Lu Wenzhao to help him find a way to get a two-stone strong bow and enough feather arrows, and stored them in the storage space.

In fact, with Lu Cheng's current strength, it is no problem to pull a stronger bow.

But a bow above three stones is already a precious bow, and only those generals who have produced fierce generals can have it.

It is rumored that Yue Fei was born with supernatural power and could use a three-stone bow.

In addition to various weapons, Lu Cheng also stored some food and drinking water in the storage space for emergency use.

Four cubic meters of storage space is not small. If it is used to store water alone, it can hold four tons, 8,000 kilograms. Although the weapons took up some space, the remaining space could hold one or two thousand kilograms of food, plus drinking water, which was definitely no problem.

Of course, Lu Cheng did not expect to feed the soldiers with all the food.

Once the population base increases, the daily consumption of food and drinking water is a huge number.

Of course, Lu Cheng has also thought of many countermeasures for how to raise food and wages for his soldiers in the future.

If you want to do business, Lu Cheng will make soap, perfume, glass, distilled liquor, etc., which are necessary for time travelers.

If you want to do business without capital, the rear camp of Jiannu, or the caravans doing business with Jiannu, are all good zero-dollar businesses.

Purchase targets.

Lu Cheng has made full plans for how to train and maintain troops.

Of course, whether some things are suitable for this era still needs to be verified.

As time goes by, the court is still in chaos, and there has been endless debate on how to deal with the defeated generals.

In fact, Yang Hao and Li Rubai have committed such a big mistake that it is not enough to kill them no matter how many times. But these two people have backers and civil servants who support them. Even if they have been defeated, those supporters will try their best to clear their names and reduce their punishment.

Otherwise, the control of those interest groups over local troops will be greatly weakened, and they will also fall into a passive position in political struggles.

In this case, Xiong Tingbi, the appointed supervisory censor, has been staying in Beijing and has nothing to do.

If Lu Cheng had not visited him frequently, this important official who was about to go to Liaodong would have been almost ignored.

One day, after visiting Xiong Tingbi again, Lu Cheng took the initiative to go to Ding Baiying's residence.

Since giving Ding Baiying a bracelet last time, Ding Baiying has not taken the initiative to come to Lu Cheng again.

Since the other party is not coming, Lu Cheng will of course take the initiative to go.

Moreover, Lu Cheng has not yet met Ding Baiying's other two apprentices, Ding Xiu and Ding Xian.

When Lu Cheng crossed most of Yanjing City and came to the gate of a courtyard, he happened to see two teenagers fighting in the courtyard.

One was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the weapon he used was a slender Miao Dao. The other was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the weapons he used were two short knives.

The boy who used the Miao Dao was obviously more skilled in martial arts. In each move, he was powerful and fierce.

As for the one who used the two knives, his steps were agile, and the two knives in his hands were extremely flexible. For a while, he was not at a disadvantage.

After watching for a while, Lu Cheng had guessed the identities of the two men.

After the two fought for more than a dozen moves, the boy who used the two knives suddenly felt a little unstable, stepped back two steps, and coughed a few times.

"Junior brother, are you okay?"

"No, I just haven't slept well recently and have a little cough."

After the two finished talking, they saw Lu Cheng standing outside the door.

Lu Cheng bowed to the two and said, "I'm Lu Cheng, and I'm here to see Miss Ding Baiying."

The young man who used the Miao Dao also bowed immediately and said, "My name is Ding Xiu, and this is my junior brother Ding Xian. We know you and often hear my master talk about you. My master is not here now, do you want to wait in the yard for a while?"

Lu Cheng nodded and walked into the yard.

Ding Xiu glanced at Lu Cheng's saber and said, "My master said you are very powerful. How about we fight a few moves?"

"Of course, no problem."

The Ding Xiu in front of him was naturally the later Jia Qian layman, who fought against more than a dozen fully equipped Jurchen elite cavalrymen with infantry and cavalry, and won. He was definitely the ceiling level of combat power in the world of Embroidered Spring Swords.

Of course, Jia Qian layman at this moment has not really grown up.

People who practice martial arts all like to compete and see who is better.

Lu Cheng also pulled out the goose-wing knife from his waist and held it in his hand: "Please!"

Ding Xiu was not polite either, and took the lead in attacking. Relying on the longer Miao Dao in his hand, he swung and slashed directly at Lu Cheng.

With a "clang", this move was undoubtedly taken.

Lu Cheng's goose-wing knife came later but arrived first, hitting the opponent's knife back with the back of the knife, directly pressing the opponent's Miao Dao to the ground.

With just one move, Ding Xiu knew that he was far from being the opponent's opponent. He put away the Miao Dao and bowed: "You are indeed very strong, and I am not your opponent now. However, I am younger and will surpass you sooner or later."

At this moment, two figures walked in from outside, and they were Ding Baiying and Ding Chong.

Seeing Lu Cheng, Ding Baiying's expression was a little unnatural, and he quickly said: "Brother Lu, why are you here?"

"My sword skills have improved in the past few days, and I want to find Miss Ding to learn from him again."
