When Qin Ming saw this scene, he was deeply impressed by Cheng Yaojin's ability.
As the commander-in-chief of the first army, Cheng Yaojin wanted to let military doctors better master the medical skills of treating wounded soldiers.
He would rather hurt his own son personally than harm the soldiers at all. How much loyalty and love will he get from the soldiers when this matter spreads!
Qin Ming can even imagine that when these soldiers go to the battlefield, they will fight even harder!
Just so as not to disappoint his coach!
After a while,
Cheng Yaojin sent Qin Ming out of the military tent. He patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said:
"My dear nephew, thank you for your hard work on this trip. The army will leave tomorrow, and my uncle won't let you eat."
Qin Ming smiled, cupped his hands towards Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda and said:
"My nephew dare not disturb these two uncles, so I wish them victory in advance! When the two uncles return to the city in triumph, my nephew will definitely hold a banquet at the house to welcome them!"
Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda laughed when they heard this and said:
"well."
After speaking, Cheng Yaojin approached Qin Ming and said:
"My dear nephew, I and your Uncle Niu have both agreed to join the deal you mentioned in yesterday's letter. Just talk to your two aunts about it later."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this and said:
"Nephew, I understand."
Seeing that everything had been explained, Cheng Yaojin said to Cheng Chumo and the other two people behind him:
"You two go and see Brother Ming off."
"yes."
Qin Ming once again cupped his hands towards Cheng Yaojin and said:
"Uncles, take care!"
After saying that, Qin Ming stood up and waved to the guards in the mansion, and then followed the two brothers Cheng Chumo and walked towards the entrance of the camp.
After Cheng Yaojin watched Qin Ming and others leave, he wanted to invite Niu Jinda into the camp to continue discussing the matter of setting off tomorrow.
As a result, when he turned around, he saw Niu Jinda staring closely at the direction where Qin Ming and his party left.
His brows were furrowed.
Cheng Yaojin patted Niu Jinda's armor and said doubtfully:
"I said, Lao Niu, what are you looking at? Are you so entranced?"
Normally, if Cheng Yaojin was in the camp, he would be called this. Niu Jinda would definitely be furious, but today he seemed not to hear.
"Zhijie, did you just notice that the few followers around Brother Ming are special?"
Cheng Yaojin thought about it carefully after hearing this. Apart from being a little stronger, there seemed to be nothing special about those people.
Then he rolled his eyes, and a hint of slyness flashed in his eyes. So Cheng Yaojin folded his arms in front of his chest and said confidently:
"Of course I discovered their differences. Why don't you tell me first, what did you discover? Let me hear if we have the same idea."
Niu Jinda thought about it and said:
"Zhijie, have you also noticed that the size of the steps taken by the servants and the amplitude of their arm swings are all the same?"
Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened when he heard this and he said:
"Huh? Old Niu, are you out of your mind? How is this possible? Even His Majesty's personal guards cannot do this, right?"
Niu Jinda shook his head and said seriously:
"It shouldn't be wrong. Although there are only eight or nine of those retinues, their positions are just right to protect Qin Ming and Lady Baili in the middle."
"These retinues must have been trained for a long time, otherwise they would not be able to reach this level. And the reason why you don't see them walking in unison may be because they stand relatively scattered. If these people stand in a row, you will definitely be able to You can tell at a glance.”
Cheng Yaojin thought about it carefully after hearing this, and then said with some uncertainty:
"Can't that boy still train in the army?"
"It's not necessarily Qin Ming who trains troops, it could also be someone else in his family."
Cheng Yaojin made a fist with his right hand and smashed it on the palm of his left hand, sighed and said:
"Hey, if I had known earlier, I should have fought with His Majesty again. I never thought that by going out this time, I would be able to test out the depth of that boy. If I missed this time, I don't know how long we would have to wait before we could truly bring this boy into our general's camp. .”
Niu Jinda stroked his long beard with determination in his eyes.
"There will be a chance."

Sishi, Chang'an City, Imperial Palace
With a tongueless sound, he retreated.
The ministers left the Tai Chi Hall in twos and threes.
As soon as Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, walked to the gate of Chengtian Gate, he saw dozens of colleagues blocking the place, whispering and talking among themselves.
Changsun Wuji thought something had happened, so he apologized to Yu Wenshiji beside him and walked quickly towards Chengtian Gate.
Still about ten steps away from the crowd, Changsun Wuji shouted to Wang Gui, the attendant in the crowd:
"Prince Shizhong, what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Gui turned around and waved to Changsun Wuji, then pointed to the outside of Chengtian Gate and said:
"Changsun Shangshu, you will know when you come over and take a look."
Changsun Wuji became even more confused, so he quickly walked to Wang Gui's side, and then looked outside Chengtian Gate.
As a result, he was also frightened by the scene in front of him. He saw hundreds of people standing on the road between Chengtianmen and Zhuquemen for some unknown reason.
Some of them were wielding hoes to pry away the stone slabs on the road, while others were piling gray sacks on the roadside.
"Wang Shizhong, what do they want to do? Who let them in?"
Wang Gui shook his head, and then pointed at Duan Lun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry not far away.
"I have already asked. These people are all craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry. As for what they are going to do? I think Duan Shangshu knows best."
Changsun Wuji looked in the direction pointed by Wang Gui, and met Duan Lun's eyes.
Duan Lun smiled at Changsun Wuji, then coughed and said:
“Colleagues, don’t panic, these people are all craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and their wealth is clean.
The reason why we asked them to come today is to renovate the road in the palace, so colleagues can go back to the government office without worries. "
Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows and was about to ask a question when a dark shadow rushed to Duan Lun and asked:
"Duan Shangshu, I just want to know, this road in the palace is fine, why does it need to be renovated?"
Duan Lun felt uncomfortable looking at Wei Zheng's smart eyes. At this moment, he finally felt the same treatment as His Majesty.
Duan Lun even felt as if he was being targeted by a beast.
But when he thought about the significance of building this road, he immediately straightened up and explained:
"The reason why this road needs to be renovated is because today the Ministry of Works has obtained a new road construction material called cement. The road built with this cement will be more durable and flatter than the stone road."
"So His Majesty has decreed to re-establish this path in the palace, and wants all colleagues to bear witness together."
Wei Zheng, who was the secretary-supervisor at the time, frowned when he heard this and questioned:
"Even so, we shouldn't tear down the good stone roads and rebuild them! Now the imperial court wants to send troops to help Lanzhou, and the national treasury is tight."
"There are still so many people in the world who have no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. Your Majesty, because he obtained new materials, wanted to make the road in the palace smoother, so he demolished the originally good stone road.
Isn't this a waste of money and money?
Are you really not afraid of chilling the hearts of the people and soldiers? "
"No, Shangshu Duan also asks you to order these craftsmen to stop working. I will return to the palace immediately to persuade your majesty."
After saying that, Wei Zheng turned around and walked back.
