But I saw the stocky little flag officer of Jinyiwei holding a wild goose feather knife, letting out a low roar, and suddenly stepped forward...
The thin-soled fast boots suddenly picked up a lump of mud and threw it towards Victor's face.
Victor was caught off guard and his face was covered in mud. Another blur appeared before his eyes. The sharp Yan Fei Dao was already placed on his neck.
There was silence all around.
Victor raised his hands in embarrassment to express surrender, and muttered something from time to time, seeming to be very dissatisfied with this unethical behavior.
"protest……"
"Despicable coward!"
Victor's face turned red with anger and he kept cursing, but Tian Hong's group of uniformed guards laughed loudly, looking at the foreigner as if they were looking at a fool.
mean?
When warriors fight, it's a life-and-death fight. Of course, it's mud. What's the use of stones? If you can stab someone in the back, you'll definitely not be able to stand upright.
Who can compete with you in an honest and fair manner?
Laughing.
Tian Hong looked at Victor with a smile. Shen Lie's words made perfect sense. This foreigner's head was really not easy to use and he was so cute and cute.
Shen Lie couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he was very surprised in his heart. He had finally seen the true capabilities of the elite Jin Yiwei in this era.
With the sword in his hand, this little flag officer immediately became very confident. He has rich combat experience and his movements are very clean and neat.
It seems that all this man's skills lie in his sword.
The Xiuchundao that Jinyiwei is famous for is indeed worthy of its reputation. Shen Lie felt that even if he replaced Victor, it would be difficult to block this knife without any damage.
Shen Lie praised him: "Good sword skills!"
It seems that those who can stand out among the talented Jinyiwei and become small flag officers or chief flag officers are all experts with outstanding martial arts skills.
As a result, amid the frolicking, the farm at the foot of the mountain turned into a martial arts arena, as several guards in imperial robes showed off their unique skills and took off strong bows and crossbows from their horses.
With the sound of eager hoofbeats, knights in bright red brocade robes were seen galloping across the fields, arrows flying like shooting stars, and a fierce and elite aura coming towards their faces.
Shen Lie couldn't help shouting: "Okay!"
Who said that riding and shooting was a unique skill of the Qing Dynasty?
These Jin Yiti's skills on horseback were not bad, each was more fierce than the last. At least in the early years of Wanli, the Ming army's combat effectiveness was still very strong.
The rumble of horse hooves.
While Shen Lie was admiring, his eyes narrowed. Nowadays, cavalry and archery are somewhat outdated, and muskets are about to rise.
Something moved in my heart.
Shen Lie then leaned close to Tian Hong's ear and said tentatively: "Shen has an unkind request."
Tian Hong had no doubt that he was there and said with a smile: "My dear brother, it's okay to just say it."
Shen Lie gritted his teeth and said softly: "Nowadays, the business of our cheap shop is getting bigger and bigger, and the manpower in Zhuangzi is a bit thin. I think... it's better to get some Western muskets for self-defense."
After seeing the capabilities of these Jin Yiwei, Shen Lie had a clear understanding of his own strength. If he were to fight against these tough Jin Yiwei in a duel, his fists and kicks might have the upper hand.
But once the knife was moved and he got on the horse, Shen Lie felt that he was dead.
So I still have to practice musketry hard.
You also have to rely on Western muskets with very advanced performance.
When he heard that Shen Lie wanted to get some Western muskets, Tian Hong was startled. He hesitated and said hurriedly: "Others are easy to say, but Western muskets are not easy to get."
As the two of them whispered to each other.
Tian Hong said eloquently: "According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, armor has always been prohibited, but bows are not prohibited. There are bow and arrow societies among the people, and there are also many private hunting bows hidden by mountain people, but this Western musket..."
Tian Hong looked embarrassed.
The Daming Shenji Battalion also has muskets, but they are all old fire portal guns with very backward performance and are very old. I don’t know how many years they have been moldy in the warehouse.
There are not many Western muskets in the Shenji Camp. After all, private possession of Western muskets is strictly prohibited for private individuals.
Hiding this thing secretly is a serious crime of beheading!
But under Shen Lie's expectant gaze, Tian Hong pondered for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying: "Okay, since my dear brother has spoken, Tian will naturally do his best."
After looking around, Tian Hong dragged Shen Lie to a deserted place, gritted his teeth and said, "The Western musket I found last time was kept secret for my brother. I will give it to you another day."
One sentence made Shen Lie think of the Western flintlock pistol seized from Victor, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "Thank you very much."
He didn't see the wrong person.
Shen Lie naturally had a purpose in doing this. Firstly, he really needed a gun to defend himself, and secondly, he wanted to test Tian Hong.
Since Tian Hong is willing to risk losing his head to get a musket, then from now on the two of them will have a life-long friendship.
Grasshopper on a rope!
So the two of them walked back to a deserted place and whispered, if they really wanted to guard against bandits, a short gun would definitely not be enough.
But where can I get some Western long guns?
Western-style muskets from the early Wanli era were still very rare and new. According to Tian Hong, it was too risky to go to Beijing to get a few, so they could only be found in the merchant gangs that traveled around the capital.
Among the merchant gangs traveling between Ryukyu and Japan, there were quite a lot of muskets hidden away.
Listening to Tian Hong's words, Shen Lie was slightly stunned. Could it be that the advanced muskets of the Ming Dynasty were introduced from Ryukyu and Japan?
Turn around.
Shen Lie looked at the eastern sky thoughtfully.
As the sky got darker and the sun set, several people returned to the capital before the city gate closed.
As another morning comes.
The weather was still hazy and drizzling.
When Shen Lie got up early and arrived at the door of the store early in the morning, he couldn't help but become alert when he looked at the few people standing at the door of the store.
He took a quick step and hid in the shadows.
With the faint light emitted by the morning star, Shen Lie took a closer look at the appearance of these people.
These people are all young, in their twenties, but they all have thin skin and tender flesh, and are very handsome. They are also wearing colorful robes, which look very eye-catching.
Moreover, the behavior of these young men is different from that of ordinary men, and they are slightly feminine.
An idea popped up in Shen Lie's mind.
Eunuch!
This was obviously a eunuch who came out of the palace, but why did the eunuch from the palace suddenly come to the door of the store? This thing is very strange.
Shen Lie thought about it and observed it for a moment before walking over slowly. Suddenly, a smell of rouge hit his nostrils, making him more sure that these people...
He is rouged and powdered, he is really a eunuch in the palace!
As Shen Lie walked out of the shadows, the leader among the eunuchs quickly adjusted his colorful robes.
Welcomed him.
Shen Lie hurried to greet him.
The young eunuch returned the gift very politely: "Are you the shopkeeper of this cheap shop?"
Shen Lie didn't dare to neglect and said hurriedly: "It's Xiao Ke... What do you dare to do for me?"
Just talking.
The young man took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed it over, and said kindly to Shen Lie: "My master has told me that from tomorrow onwards, before noon every day, you will take someone to deliver 300 meals outside the Meridian Gate. When you arrive at the Meridian Gate, someone will naturally greet you..."
"You have collected this banknote."
Shen Lie took the banknote and nodded: "Xiao Ke understands."
This is a big order!
Shen Lie was ecstatic for a moment. Unexpectedly, another big pie fell from the sky. Following the two hundred box lunches from Beizhen Fusi, another order for three hundred box lunches came from the palace.
He and his lunch delivery business have just started and have achieved unprecedented success!
