Chapter 111: Talent

Now in Lin'an, the hottest topic is Xiao Yan, the young general, the Marquis of Jinfeng, the adopted son of the empress dowager, and the imperial mansion, but these are not the most important. Among the people, these topics are talked about with great interest, but among the officials in Lin'an, I'm afraid Xiao Yan is still the most concerned about the Beijing investigation plan this time.

It is related to their own veil and rice bowl, and even their own head. This can't make them be imprudent. Just yesterday, there was a decree. As a prime minister, Zhu Shengfei, as a prime minister, could not take care of yin and yang and supervise hundreds of officials, but Miao and Liu rebelled against each other. In fact, they were actually derelictions of duty. He has always been a solid country and became the governor of Zhenjiang and went to Xiao Yan. Pre-military effectiveness.

For a while, a thousand waves were stirred up. When the prime minister of the dynasty said not to avoid it, coupled with the lessons of Qin Hui, who is not trembling. Today, I heard that Xiao Yan moved to a new mansion. After this court, the big guys completely lost a group of three people and five people to discuss the situation of the court first. They all ran faster than rabbits and all returned. The family sharpened his head and thought about what gift to give Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was very leisurely at that time, and Zhao Gu also made it clear that Xiao Yan did not have to go to the court for the time being, and tried his best to preside over the Beijing investigation and the negotiation between the Jinren.

When he got up early in the morning, Xiao Yan surrounded his mansion and walked around. He was simply happy! Although the mansion is not big, it is integrated with the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. The front courtyard hall, the dormitory study, the place where the servants live, and the guard room are all available. In a small moon arch in the backyard, it immediately turned into another world. Small bridges and flowing water, rockery pavilions, although April flowers and plants have just sprouted, they are already full of spring.

"Marquis." Xiao Yan was immersed in his reverie, and the appearance of Gao Zhan interrupted his thoughts.

"Why don't you sleep a little." Xiao Yan looked at Gao Zhan with a hazy face and said.

Gao Zhan took people into Lin'an City in the middle of the night last night and trekked all the way from Jiankang to Lin'an. Gao Zhan didn't have a good sleep. It was not until they saw Xiao Yan that they were relieved. After all, Gao Zhan and others were still young and had received Xiao Yan's almost harsh training, which could stand it, while Sun Xue The two of them came from a literary background. As soon as they entered the house, they seemed to disperse. They plunged into ** and refused to get up again.

Not only Gao Zhan, but also the 18 guards specially selected by Xiao Yan from the Langya Guard brought by Gao Zhan also came with Gao Zhan. These people were personally selected by Xiao Yan at that time. They knew each other. Although their eyes were full of blood, they were in good spirits.

"Hmm!" Xiao Yan nodded. It seemed that Gao Zhan's training had not fallen at all during this period. Xiao Yan smiled and greeted several people. When he approached, he found a problem. These people smelled sour, and Xiao Yan only saw that they were not wearing gray clothes, but cyan short combat, but all the way. The wind and dust turned gray.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "These people will become close guards around you, and you can't treat them badly."

he smiled and said, "Gao Zhan, you take your brothers to wash and change your clothes first. After dinner, I will take you to ask for something good." Xiao Yan looked at the weapons in their hands and suddenly had an idea.

*

Xiao Yan is now a first-class celebrity, and many people's black gauze hats are held in his hand. When Xiao Yan reported his name, after a while, the head of the arsenal went out and crawled out. Xiao Yan thought that it would take a lot of time to come to the arsenal without permission, but he didn't expect to explain the intention. The master, who was originally frightened, unexpectedly Full of smiles, he led Xiao Yan straight to the bow and crossbow vault of the arsenal.

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and understood that Zhu Shengfei had sequelae. Now Xiao Yan is like a soul messenger of Yan Luo Hall. Everyone is afraid that Xiao Yan's active visit is to take off his hat. He smiled bitterly, shook his head and came to the door of the treasury.

When the master opened the mansion, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly straightened. There were rows of arches and rows of shelves. On each row of shelves, there were neat stacks of arrows, long and short, with iron arrows, bamboo arrows, and clusters of arrows were polished. Then he walked in one by one a large cabinet and opened one. Look, it's a bow, and each cabinet is marked with different categories.

Xiao Yan walked while watching. Although they were all good bows and arrows, they were not the type Xiao Yan wanted.

The head of the arsenal who had been carefully following behind him, saw Xiao Yan walking and stopping, and knew that it was not his intention, so he asked softly, "I don't know what kind of bow and arrows the marquis needs. Can the small one help?"

He patted his head and said, "The ghost is fascinated. He doesn't ask about the master of the arsenal here, and he is looking for it here." Xiao Yan stopped and turned around with a smile and asked, "I haven't asked what the master is called?"

Xiao Yan's amiableness seemed to scare the master, and his body trembled: "No, I dare not call him that as a marquis, it's a small obstination."

Xiao Yan smiled secretly, "Do I have that terrible?" But there is still a smile on his face, "Oh, Master Chen, I want to choose a few smaller crossbows for my guards. The range doesn't need to be far away, so that I don't know if I can carry them with me."

"Oh." Chen Gui agreed and began to choose for Xiao Yan*. Xiao Yan asked casually with the continuous * of the old rules. Unexpectedly, this old rules seem to be Mu Na, but when it comes to weapons, they are flexible. Not only do they not talk about the range performance of the slave bow in an orderly manner, but they are also familiar with the manufacturing process of each *.

All the way to the innermost part of the warehouse, Xiao Yan saw that the * in the warehouse was either too big or too heavy. It was for military use and was not suitable for carrying with him. He couldn't help shaking his head and followed the rules behind him to see that Xiao Yan did not pick a good *. He couldn't help but feel uneasy, and suddenly there was no such thing that just talked about weapons. The arduousness restored Mu's look.

Xiao Yan didn't feel anything in his heart, but as soon as he heard that the rules had no sound, he turned around and saw that a fear flashed in the rules' eyes, and Xiao Yan had another slander. Then his eyes lit up and looked at the rules in amazement. Isn't this the talent he needs? He is honest and familiar with the performance of various weapons.

nodded and was even more panicked when he saw that the rules were seen by him. He smiled and said, "Master Chen, don't worry. With your honest mind, Xiao Yan will definitely go to the emperor and reward him."

Seeing the rules, he looked puzzled, "Master Chen, but I wonder why Xiao Yan said so."

Pointing to this crossbow library, Xiao Yan continued, "Everything in front of him is enough to prove it."

The whole library is neatly arranged, and all kinds of weapons are placed in an orderly manner without any rust.

Chengui is usually conscientious about his own affairs, and he also has a special hobby, that is, he likes to play with and study these weapons, but he is honest and not good at communicating, so he has never made progress after being promoted to the head of the arsenal.

However, although Chen Rule is not good at communicating, he has not offended anyone, so although he has not been promoted, no one is looking for trouble. Moreover, with his enthusiasm for weapons, he is regarded as a person who does his best in front of the master of the arsenal, and he is happy to walk around the warehouse every day.

"In addition, Master Chen's understanding of every weapon proves Master Chen's practical duty."

Xiao Yan's sudden praise of the rules made the rules stunned. Xiao Yan laughed for a while, "It seems that this brother has not been praised by his boss for a long time."

Xiao Yan really guessed right. Looking at the old rules about 40 years old, Xiao Yan said, "I'm afraid Mr. Chen's relationship with his superiors colleagues is average. Otherwise, how can you stay in the position of the master with the talent of the master?

Chen Ju looked at Xiao Yan's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts at a glance. He was excited and almost shouted, "The parents who gave birth to me, and the Marquis Xiao who knew me!"
