"Now?"
Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Chuang doubtfully.
"Of course, after drinking, I went to the school grounds of my patrol camp. I haven't practiced for a long time. Those weaklings in the patrol camp are very weak."
"It's just like Shangjing. If you put him in the border army, he will be vulnerable. He is not as strong as a girl."
After a few taels, a few jars of yellow soup, Xiao Chuang obviously talked more.
There is no door shutting the door anymore.
However, judging from the attitude of everyone in the patrol camp towards him, Xiao Chuang's prestige is still quite high.
People like him, especially in the army, are very easy to win over a group of die-hard loyalists.
They didn't know how much they drank, but neither of them felt drunk at all.
A nine-level alcohol level is not just a boast.
It is no exaggeration to say that drinking down more than twenty people is not a problem.
The shopkeeper who climbed the stairs came to the table of the two of them at some unknown time, and was amazed for a while.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Mr. Xiao drink so much. I didn't expect this little brother to drink so much."
"Lao Liao, this is my brother. From now on, all his meals will be charged to my account."
Xiao Chuang staggered to Jiang Chen's side and hugged him into his arms.
"Okay."
A flash of surprise flashed across Lao Liao's face. This was the first time he saw Xiao Chuang treat someone younger than him with such enthusiasm.
Instantly full of smiles.
"Would you two drink some more?"
"No, I still have something to do, another day, another day."
Xiao Chuang quickly refused.
He would never forget his sparring session with Jiang Chen, and his hands were already itchy.
If we delay any longer, it will get dark.
He had to patrol the city in the evening, so he couldn't delay.
The two of them walked arm in arm on the streets of Shangjing like this. The passers-by looked sideways and secretly speculated on the identity of the young man next to Xiao Chuang.
After all, Xiao Chuang's reputation has already spread all over the streets.
The location of the patrol camp is far away from the inner city of the royal family, but it is not far away. After all, it has to coordinate the defense of the entire city.
The responsibility is second only to the imperial guardsmen who guard the inner city of the royal family.
You must know that in terms of status, the Royal Forest Army surpasses the patrol battalion, all because Xiao Chuang is the general flag of the patrol battalion.
Patrol camp school grounds.
"I wonder what weapon little brother Jiang uses most."
"gun!"
Xiao Chuang came to the weapons rack and picked up a long gun without any doubt. Hearing Jiang Chen's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"you sure?"
"Playing with guns is my strength. If you lose, don't blame me for bullying you."
"No problem, just come."
Jiang Chen secretly thought: This is also my strength.
Before I absorbed your skills, I had been playing guns for more than 20 years.
Xiao Chuang seemed to intentionally test Jiang Chen. He swung it fiercely, and the spear came through the air with fierce energy. You could even hear bursts of sonic booms.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, flipped sideways, jumped into the air, grabbed hold of the gun with his right hand, and held it firmly.
But what he didn't expect was that the force on the gun was not completely removed.
Take him and fly a few meters away.
However, Jiang Chen has Xiao Chuang's ninth-level spear skills and Han Lu's ninth-level physical strength.
Shengsheng controlled the gun in his own hands.
A solid landing, a perfect debut.
"Brother Jiang really did not disappoint me. I hope you are not just a showman."
As soon as Xiao Chuang finished speaking, his right foot suddenly stamped on the ground.
The school grounds were instantly filled with thick yellow sand.
Jiang Chen was highly concentrated and placed the spear in front of him.
He moved his feet quickly to prevent his defenseless back from being completely exposed to Xiao Chuang.
"Ding ding ding."
The crisp sound kept ringing.
The two figures could barely be seen in the diffuse yellow sand.
The battle between the two was so grand that it attracted many soldiers from the patrol battalion to come and watch.
"Who is this guy? He's on par with Lord General Banner."
"Yes, none of us can fight with Zongqi for more than ten moves."
"How old are they already?"
"No less than thirty..."
Some Xiaoqi also rushed over, looking at the two people in the arena with solemn expressions.
"The results are coming soon."
Among the crowd, I don’t know who made a sound.
The field was filled with dust, but there was no movement.
It seems that this competition has come to an end.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, the patrol battalion soldiers could clearly see the two figures in the field, and they couldn't help but exclaimed.
Because at this time, the tips of their spears were actually facing each other.
There was an uproar.
Xiao Chuang was the first to speak.
"Brother Jiang, your marksmanship amazes me, no less than me."
"The King of Hell also surprises me."
The two exchanged commercial blows, but the strength in their hands did not relax at all.
"Ding~~~"
There was a rapid and sharp sound of metal collision.
The next moment, the spears in both hands shattered at the same time.
Sawdust was flying all over the sky, falling quietly to the ground along with the falling yellow sand.
The metal gun head was twisted and looked awkward.
"As expected of the Commander-in-Chief, the head of the gun can be shattered."
"Gungun, why are you just joining in the fun?" Xiao Chuang's face didn't look good when he heard the compliment.
Jiang Chen seemed to have discovered the problem, and walked over to pick up the gun tip that fell on the ground.
After groping around, he said slightly surprised.
"There's something wrong with the hardness of this iron."
"Did you notice it too?"
"Alas!" Xiao Chuang sighed softly.
"Does the King of Hell know the reason for this?"
Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Chuang curiously. Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he knew the reason and seemed to be very annoyed, but helpless.
"Strange to say, whether it is the weapons of the border army or the weapons of the patrol camp, the toughness of iron is much worse than that of the barbarian lands of Northern Xia and Yuezhi. Many soldiers on the battlefield lost their lives because of this."
"At that time, I thought someone was deliberately targeting our border troops, but later I discovered that the weapons of all the armies were very different."
"Oh, except for His Majesty's black-armored guards." After that, he added.
Xiao Chuang shook his head and put away the two broken gun heads.
Even if it is broken, it can still be made new by resmelting it.
Iron is particularly important for the great scene at this time.
"Are the weapons and armor of the patrol camp uniformly distributed and forged by the imperial court?"
"Most of them are, but a very small part are provided by various chambers of commerce. The weapons and equipment of the border army and other local armies are basically provided by chambers of commerce." Xiao Chuang replied.
He knew clearly what Jiang Chen was suspecting.
"But all the weapons and armor are verified and there is no problem at all."
"I'm not saying there's something wrong with the merchants who provide weapons, but I'm talking about the way iron is smelted."
"How to smelt iron?"
Xiao Chuang frowned. He had never thought about this before.
"Different smelting methods produce different pig iron, and much of it requires further purification."
"If my guess is correct, the methods of inspecting whether weapons are qualified are different in different places."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xiao Chuang was enlightened and instantly understood what he meant.
Without unified standards, a batch of seemingly qualified products will naturally be produced.
In fact, it is not yet known whether it can withstand the test of war.
"Brother Jiang, I made the right decision to find you today." Xiao Chuang was awakened by Jiang Chen's words, and his title became much more affectionate.
"It just so happens that I am somewhat interested in this aspect. I wonder if the King of Hell can do me a favor."
"But it doesn't matter."
Xiao Chuang patted his chest and promised.
