In the capital, Xiao Chen stood on the training ground of the Thirteenth Battle, quietly watching the training of the Divine Machine Battle.
After coming out of the Jinyi Guard Prison, the first thing Xiao Chen did was not to find the whereabouts of the prince, but to understand the current combat effectiveness of this divine machine.
When he was in prison, Mr. Chang Gong once told himself that the emperor had probably regretted giving Dongchang the right to use firearms, and the reason why he was imprisoned this time was probably to take the opportunity to take back the firearms in the hands of Shenji.
Xiao Chen didn't take this statement seriously.
After all, the emperor is still busy presiding over the hunting in Huailaiwei, and has not openly spoken out about the recovery of Shenji's firearms.
And he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to use these firearms to deal with the group of men in black who were stronger than himself first.
If this group of people is really dealt with, even if the emperor takes back the firearms, it will not have any impact.
Seeing Xiao Chen watching from a distance, Liu Rufeng, who had been directing the captain's training, explained something and walked towards Xiao Chen.
"How have you been training these days?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"Overall, it's okay, but there are still some individual captains who make mistakes. I really don't understand how the Shenji Battalion has more than 5,000 people. How do they train them so uniformly? We only have three Shenji Commanders.
It is so difficult for hundreds of captains to cooperate." Liu Rufeng shook his head and said.
The two stood side by side, talking while walking towards the action area of the Thirteenth Battle.
"How long has the Shenji Battalion been training, and how long have our Shenji Soldiers been training? This kind of unified, coordinated cooperation is the result of training over and over again. However, the Shenji Battalion should also have made mistakes. With so many people,
We just didn't see it." Xiao Chen lowered his head and said with his hands behind his back and looking at the path in front of him.
"As long as this group of people shows up, it will be when the Shenji battle begins. In this situation, I'm afraid they won't have the combat effectiveness as imagined." Liu Rufeng turned his head and glanced at Xiao Chen.
He understood that the reason why Xiao Chen was closely watching the training of the Divine Machine Soldier was because he was preparing to drag the Divine Machine Soldier out to fight.
"Three hundred people are the overall number of divine machine soldiers. I have an idea. Among these three hundred people, I will select fifty absolute outstanding ones to form a mobile team. And this mobile team is me.
The 'magic weapon' to be used against that group of men in black. Can you pick out fifty of them?"
Stopping, Xiao Chen looked at Liu Rufeng and said softly.
"Fifty people? This is no problem." Liu Rufeng patted his chest confidently.
"The fifty people I want must be able to be dragged out to fight now."
"I know. Not to mention fifty people, one hundred people can be picked out now." Liu Rufeng looked confident.
"We need fifty people. You go and choose now. There may be action at any time." Xiao Chen looked at Liu Rufeng seriously.
Looking at Xiao Chen's serious expression, Liu Fufeng nodded: "Okay, I'll go pick it up right now."
He turned around and hurried towards the training ground.
Thinking about his next move, Xiao Chen was about to walk towards the main hall of the operations office when the captain on duty at the gate came over.
"Brother Xiao."
"Huh?" Xiao Chen turned his head and looked at the approaching captain.
"There is a man outside the door. He calls himself Wei Qi. He wants to see you?" said the captain.
"Wei Qi? I really don't know Wei Qi. He said I'm not here." Xiao Chen waved his hand and planned to leave.
"The other party said that he is Qian Hu from the Hangzhou Prefecture Guard Army." the captain added hurriedly.
"Hangzhou Prefecture Guards Qianhu?" Xiao Chen slapped his forehead, "It turns out to be Wei Qianhu, why did he come to the capital? Come on, let's go and have a look."
The door was opened from inside, and Xiao Chen walked out.
"Ah, it's really Wei Qianhu. Why did you come all the way to the capital? Aren't you busy with the guards' affairs recently?" Xiao Chen stepped forward and punched Wei Qi on the shoulder.
Seeing Xiao Chen greeting him so cordially without any pretense, Wei Qi felt excited.
Holding the fists together is a standard military courtesy: "Wei Qi, Deputy Qianhu of the Hangzhou Prefecture Guard Army, has met Master Ziyi."
It's not that Wei Qi is being pretentious, but it seems that this is the only way he can express his deep respect for Xiao Chen.
"Hi." Xiao Chen raised his right hand and waved it a few times in the air, "You can't call me Master Ziyi from now on. My Qilin Ziyi has been taken back by the emperor. From now on, just call me Brother Xiao."
"The purple clothes have been taken back? What's going on?" Wei Qi was startled and asked in confusion.
The emperor's words are like water thrown out. Even if they are wrong, they can never be taken back.
This Kirin Purple Clothes is a gift from the Emperor. Is there any reason why the Emperor can take the Zi Clothes back regardless of his own face?
"This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences, so let's not talk about it for now. By the way, you just said that you are the Deputy Qianhu of the Hangzhou Prefecture Guards? When I left, weren't you the only Qianhu?
A household? How long has it been since you became a vice-thousand household? Are you being squeezed out?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, looking at Wei Qi.
"The prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture was captured by you. The imperial court sent a new prefect to take office some time ago. However, the imperial court also dispatched a Qianhu to take over the guard force, and I was also given the title of deputy.
We have arranged to go home for retirement." Wei Qi said with an awkward smile.
"So complicated?" Xiao Chen was startled and looked around, "Let's go in. You've come all the way to the capital, and you're standing here at the gate talking about all kinds of things."
With that said, he pulled Wei Qi and walked towards the main hall of the operations office.
Although Dongchang is not a large organization like Liubu, it is not something that others can just come in.
Moreover, there were also court officials who came to the Thirteenth Battle to handle matters, but they were all led by the captain and had the permission of Xiao Chen and the others before they could enter.
Now, when Wei Qi came from Hangzhou, Xiao Chen not only came to pick him up personally, but also pulled him inside. The relationship between this should be unusual.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, the captain on duty at the door looked envious.
After walking into the lobby of the Operations Office and arranging Wei Qi to sit down, Xiao Chen carried a hot water bottle and poured a bowl of hot tea over.
"Try it and see if you can tell what kind of tea this is." Xiao Chen smiled, put down the kettle, and sat across from Wei Qi.
Seeing that Xiao Chen wanted to test himself, Wei Qi picked up the tea bowl, sniffed it a few times, and then took a sip. He didn't swallow it, but smashed it into his mouth a few times and tasted it carefully.
Xiao Chen tilted his head and stared at the other person, waiting for his answer.
The current atmosphere in the capital, especially in Dongchang, seems extremely depressing because of the prince's incident.
But Wei Qi's coming from afar changed Xiao Chen's thoughts and made him feel more relaxed.
"This seems to be West Lake Longjing?" Wei Qi tried to say.
"Hahaha." Xiao Chen laughed, "Did you taste it or guess it? No matter how I look at it, you don't think you tasted it."
Seeing that Xiao Chen had seen through him, Wei Qi showed embarrassment: "I am just a martial artist. I only drink tea to quench my thirst. I can't remember the taste after drinking it."
"Because you are from Hangzhou, so is it West Lake Longjing?"
"Brother Xiao asked me to guess, it should be tea from Hangzhou. I have never drunk tea from other places, and you won't let me guess." Wei Qi smiled brightly.
"When we were in Hangzhou, Wei Qianhu followed me, either arresting people or on guard duty. He did all the 'rough work'. I didn't expect that Wei Qianhu was quite good at guessing." Xiao Chen laughed.
"Those days I spent with Brother Xiao, I've been influenced by my ears and my eyes." Wei Qi flattered him and slapped him over.
"Not bad, not bad. Regardless of whether Wei Qianhu can guess, he is also good at flattery."
"..." Wei Qi blushed.
The two of them joked with each other, and Xiao Chen straightened himself up: "Hangzhou Prefecture is not going well with things. Do you want to find a job in Dongchang?"
"I have a salary from the imperial court, but I can't do anything for the imperial court. The money is wasted, and I feel ashamed." Nodding, Wei Qi said.
"Dongchang cannot protect itself right now. For now, you'd better not come to Dongchang. If you have nothing else to do, leave the capital as soon as possible. The capital is a bit uneasy recently." Xiao Chen looked serious.
"One more thing, I want to ask Brother Xiao for a favor." Seeing Xiao Chen rejecting him, Wei Qi hurriedly talked about Wei Liang.
