Chapter 1323 Prepare to watch the play

Two days later.

Chen Leng took the young generals from the northern border to walk around Chang'an City these days, and took them to Xiaohuai River and to the academy. Then these people were about to return to the northern border.

Guangde Building.

Sitting at the window on the second floor, Yao Meilun raised his hand to tidy up his temples and hair that were splattered by the wind. He looked at the man passing by the street outside the window and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. That person was the opponent she wanted to get rid of. The Navy General Chen Leng.

Chen Leng took the young generals to the Imperial Garden in the afternoon. The generals returned to the military post of the Chang'an City War Department to rest. Chen Leng returned to the academy alone. Guangde Building was about five miles away from the academy. From here to the west, it was Yingxin Building three miles away. From the north, it was the academy.

Chen Leng will pass by here. This is what Yao Meilun sent people to keep staring at Chen Leng. After coming out of the Imperial Garden, he returned to the academy. This is the nearest road.

"Can our plan work?"

“Required.”

The Tingwei Mansion Bai Office, who pulled up the collar of the clothes, lowered his voice and said, "Where does the girl have the confidence?"

“Everyone has weaknesses.”

Yao Meilun looked at Zhuoying: "Guess what is Chen Leng's weakness?"

Zhuoying shook his head: "I don't know, and I can't see any weaknesses he has. In terms of martial arts, Chen Leng is one of the best in the army. I heard that the general of the Imperial Army, Dan Tai Yuan Shu, mentioned it a while ago, after returning from the northern border, he said that he is no longer Chen Leng's opponent now. Even General Dan Tai said so, so I am afraid that no one in the army will be sure to defeat Chen Leng."

"When it comes to wisdom, although I don't know Chen Leng, a general who can win hundreds of battles on the battlefield will certainly not be bad. The Tingwei Mansion will also evaluate the generals of the Daning army and the four border generals. Last time I saw that the Tingwei Mansion evaluates the rank based on a person's comprehensive quality. Among the people ranked first, there are Chen Leng. In addition to him, there are Meng Chang'an and Wu Xinyu, and even the Western Frontier General Tang Baobao and the Southern Frontier General Ye Jingtian are in the second level."

He glanced at Yao Meilun: "So, if you ask me what his weakness is, I don't know, because all the weaknesses that people see may be he deliberately did it."

Yao Meilun nodded: "You are right. The black warrior's evaluation of Chen Leng is higher than that of the Tingwei Mansion. The black warrior's evaluation of Daning only has two first-class people, one is His Majesty today and the other is Chen Leng."

"Then do you want to murder Chen Leng with such a small opportunity?"

"Because I realized it."

Yao Meilun smiled and said, "Before I came back from Gyeonggi Province two days ago, I heard something by chance. It was not what I said to me, but someone said to another person, and told me... He said that if you want to kill someone like Chen Leng, you will never think of using such a low-level method to assassinate. Since a long time ago, this low-level method has been used countless times, but Chen Leng is still alive. If you want to kill someone, you don't have to cut it directly with a knife."

"Chen Leng has weaknesses, no one has no weaknesses."

Yao Meilun looked out the window again: "Let's wait and see."

Chen Leng, who passed by the street downstairs, didn't know that someone was staring at him. He was not a god. For Chen Leng, this was just another ordinary day, and this day was about to pass soon.

There is a small stall selling rice at the corner of the street. It sells cut noodles with knife and a large iron pot is set up on the roadside. The man selling rice stands ten feet away from the iron pot. The noodle slices taken by the knife fall into the iron pot accurately. People waiting for the meal cheer.

Unlike the others, there were two men sitting there looking very frustrated and nervous. When Chen Leng passed by them, he happened to hear one of them lower his voice and said to his companion: "We have no money anymore, why don't you use armor as yours."

The other man shook his head: "How can that be done? This armor is our heirloom. I originally planned to come to Chang'an to present it to the general, and then ask if I could give it to the general in the imperial guards, but we couldn't see the general at all, and we couldn't even enter the gate of the imperial guards' camp. Even so, this ancestral armor cannot be used as a ancestral armor. I'm sorry to the ancestors."

Chen Leng stopped and looked at the two people: "Are you military households?"

Today, Chen Leng went out without wearing the duke's regular clothes, but the brocade clothes on his body were not something that ordinary people could wear. So the two people were startled after hearing Chen Leng's question, obviously became nervous, and stood up at the same time, "Sir, our ancestors were military households, but they were not military households in Daning, but... Former Chu."

Chen Leng looked at the package in their hands: "What?"

"It's the iron armor heirloom."

Chen Leng nodded: "Whether it is the iron armor of the former Chu or the iron armor of Daning, since it is left by your ancestors, keep it."

Chen Leng took out some silver and handed it to them: "Go back to your hometown."

The two men took the silver and thanked him for a long time. The man holding the armor seemed to hesitate for a moment, and suddenly knelt down on the ground: "My lord, our father told me before he died that we two brothers would come to Chang'an and present the ancestral iron armor to the court. But we do have selfish intentions and want to use this iron armor to change our future. Lord, we have no way to worship the general. If possible, please help us."

Chen Leng was silent for a moment and shook his head: "General Dan Tai won't keep you just because he takes you a set of armor, nor will he take your armor and go home with the silver."

The man holding the armor hesitated again and said after a long time, "Sir, since that's the case, please help me. Please take us to Chang'an Mansion and we offer this armor to the court."

Chen Leng thought for a while and said, "If the armor is useful, Chang'an Mansion will give it to you at the price. If you go to Chang'an Mansion tomorrow morning, someone will stop you, and you will say that Chen Leng asked you to come."

The two people's eyes lit up when they heard this.

"Duke Anguo!"

The two of them shouted, then knelt down with a plop. The people who were eating were also shocked and all stood up to show their salutes. Chen Leng quickly waved his hand to stop everyone from bowing, and then reached out to help the two of them up: "No need to be polite."

The man holding the armor said, "I am the eldest brother, my name is Lu Yuan. This is my younger brother Lu Tu, the general. Please accept this armor. Even if we let the two of us cook in the fire-headed army under the general's tent, we are willing!"

"Yes, General, please accept us."

Chen Leng was silent for a moment and shook his head: "You should not give it to anyone easily by ancestral things. You don't understand what war is or what war is. You should go back to your hometown."

The two men knelt down and refused to get up. Lu Yuan kept kowtowing: "General, my father said before his death that his only hope for us is to hope that we can make a name for ourselves. We know that we are incompetent, but we dare not disobey our father's last wishes. We have sold our property and come from Hu Jiandao. The travel expenses have been used up, and we can't go back."

Chen Leng sighed and thought for a while: "Open the package and I'll see how the armor is."

Lu Yuan quickly opened the package. Chen Leng's eyes lit up when he saw the armor. He subconsciously took a step forward and gently stroked his hand on the armor: "Good thing, good treasure."

Things!"

For a soldier, a set of such armor is a dream thing. Whether it is made or used in materials, this armor is probably not much worse than his choice of iron armor. This kind of thing is hard to find.

Chen Leng sighed: "If you want, how about I buy this armor?"

"No, no, no."

Lu Yuan said: "If the general likes us, we will give it to the general. How dare we ask the general for money? We only ask the general to take us in. Whether we are auxiliary soldiers and civilians or husbands feeding horses and chopping firewood, we both are willing."

Chen Leng was really attracted by this set of armor and could not even look away. He had long thought of creating a set of armor for Meng Changan, but good materials were hard to come by. If this set of armor was given to Meng Changan, that guy would definitely be happy.

So Chen Leng nodded: "In this way, you will bring your things back. I will leave Chang'an the day after tomorrow. You will go with me to Dongjiang. The journey is long and arduous, and the war is ruthless. Are you sure you want to go?"

"Let's go!"

Lu Yuan and Lu Tu knelt down and kowtowed: "I just want the general to take us."

Chen Leng nodded: "Okay, the day after tomorrow, you can come to my general's mansion to wait for me."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Lu Yuan stood up and said, "General, you can take this armor first."

Chen Leng shook his head: "I don't bring so much money on me, I can't afford it. When you bring it the day after tomorrow, you can bring it as much money as you should. I will buy yours."

"General, please take it first."

Lu Yuan stuffed his armor into Chen Leng's arms, pulled Lu Tu and turned around and ran away.

"Give the armor to the general first, and we will be relieved to take it with us. Otherwise, what if the general regrets it?"

Chen Leng wanted to chase him, and a group of people who were eating were persuading him.

"You can keep it, if you don't keep it, the two brothers are worried. Anyway, the general wants to give it money, and he will give it when he leaves the capital the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, the general should keep it, keep them safe."

Chen Leng thought about it and chatted with the diners for a while, then turned around and walked towards the academy.

Half an hour later, in a secluded alley, Zhuoying looked at the two people who were returning nervously, smiled and asked, "Is the thing cold?"

The two men nodded and replied: "I gave it to you, Chen Leng has accepted it."

Ying Zhuo nodded: "That's good."

He took a purse from his belt: "There are 1,000 taels of silver here, some scattered silver taels, you will leave Chang'an tomorrow morning with your things."

Lu Yuan responded quickly and leaned over and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."

He stepped forward and took the silver. At the moment when he followed the silver with both hands, he jumped off the roofs of the two sides, covered Lu Yuan and Lu Tu with his pockets, and beat him up. He did not use a sharp weapon, but a wooden stick.

After a long time of fighting, those who were doing things were exhausted and panting. Zhuoying opened the sack and looked at it. Both of them had no breath.

"It will be transported out of the city early tomorrow morning and buried in the place where they should have been buried yesterday. In this way, it will be impossible to find out the house."

Zhuo Ying wiped his hands: "Next, I'll wait to watch the show."
