"Sir, what you are really worried about is that Xiu Ning is impatient!" Li Xiuning said with a somewhat lonely expression. This time, Li Xiuning did not call herself "I" or "I am the Commander", but called herself by her first name. This was a complete impression on Lu Chen. Only by approving and putting Lu Chen in a higher position than himself could he claim his name in front of Lu Chen. This was treating Lu Chen as a master.
Lu Chen was slightly startled when he heard Li Xiuning calling herself "Xiuning" in front of him. Lu Chen still knew about these etiquette issues. This was because Li Xiuning was treating him like a teacher!
"How can your Highness call yourself that!" Lu Chen quickly reminded Li Xiuning that these two people were just talking here, and if word got out, it would be serious.
"Sir, you should be like this. In Xiuning's view, the position of military advisor is a condescension for you. The only thing Xiuning can give you now is this trust. When the master comes back to the court, I will make a petition." I want to thank you for your credit, I just hope that you can live in the Tang Dynasty forever and protect the foundation of the Tang Dynasty forever!" Li Xiuning saluted Lu Chen again.
"This..." Lu Chen showed a look of embarrassment. Who wouldn't want a high position in the temple, but this was the early Tang Dynasty. The court was full of family members who could eat people without spitting out their bones. Lu Chen didn't like to talk to them. After all, he was a special operations captain, so he usually greeted people directly with fists. It was too tiring to play dirty, so Lu Chen didn't want to enter the court.
"Your Highness, you also know that I have a teacher's responsibility, and I am just an outsider. I really don't care about the affairs of the court, but I can guarantee that the princess will be here every day, and I will assist you every day. How about it?" Lu Chen pondered. For a moment, as if he had made a lot of determination, he looked at Li Xiuning and said sincerely, "Besides, who can guarantee the eternal foundation? A great talent like Jiang Shang only saved the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. I can't compare to Jiang Ziya. !" At this point, Lu Chen burst out laughing.
"Then it's settled!" Li Xiuning was overjoyed when she heard Lu Chen's words. As long as she was here, she could get Lu Chen's assistance. As for the future, let's talk about it later. Maybe one day Lu Chen can turn things around. What’s in mind!
"Report!" Just as Lu Chen and Li Xiuning were chatting and laughing, someone outside shouted "Report".
"Come in!" Li Xiuning returned to his seat and loudly asked the messenger to come in.
"Commander, the horse...the horseshoe has been made!" The person who entered the camp was He Panren. Just now, there were only Li Xiuning and Lu Chen in the camp. Others wanted to be here, but they were kicked out by Li Xiuning.
"Oh?" Lu Chen didn't expect that this horseshoe could be made so quickly. You must know that in this era, everything was made by hand, and there was no need for the mechanical technology of later generations. It only took more than an hour to make it?
Lu Chen didn't want to think about it. It is true that in this era, all craftsmen are craftsmen, but there are so many people. What's more, the people in the military camp are all veterans, and their skills are up to standard. After all, these people still have to repair their armor and weapons. What if their hand speed is slow? Is it ok?
"Now that it's made, let's go and take a look! What do you think, Commander-in-Chief?" Lu Chen stood up and asked Li Xiuning.
"Let's go together! Let's go together! I also want to see something new!" After all, Li Xiuying is only in her twenties and is naturally full of curiosity about new things. What's more, it was designed by Lu Chen. Li Xiuning Naturally, we want to see what the effect is.
Li Xiuning, Lu Chen and others returned to the stables again. At this time, blacksmith Liu Laosan was already waiting here. There were three boxes on the ground. One box contained horseshoes, one box contained horseshoe nails, and the other box contained The stirrups are up.
"Sir, the villain can only build so much at the moment! There is not much iron in the main army, and some must be left for repairing weapons and armor, so..." At this point, Liu Laosan raised his head and glanced at Lu Chen , for fear that Lu Chen would lose his vitality because of his own creation.
It turned out that Lu Chen didn't mean to blame him at all. Instead, he put down the horseshoe in his hand, came directly to him and patted his shoulder, "Brother Liu is very good at craftsmanship! Are you interested in helping me build something else?" ?" Lu Chen's words were obviously trying to recruit Liu Laosan.
Liu Laosan did not dare to speak, but turned to look at Li Xiuning. Although Liu Laosan was a blacksmith, he was also from a military household, and his military status was still in Li Xiuning's army. If Li Xiuning disagreed, he could not work casually. .
"It's rare that the military advisor appreciates you. Why don't you thank the military advisor quickly? You can follow the military advisor from now on!" This is the first time Lu Chen has asked someone. Although the matter is quite sudden, how could Li Xiuning not give Lu Chen face, let alone He was just a blacksmith, so Li Xiuning agreed with a smile.
"Then I will thank the military advisor for his appreciation. From now on, I will work full-time for the military advisor!" As soon as Liu Laosan heard Li Xiuning's words, he didn't understand what he meant. From now on, Liu Laosan will probably not be a military householder, but a Lu Chen's servant was dead and knelt down on his knees to kowtow to Lu Chen.
"Haha!" After hearing Liu Laosan's words, everyone burst out laughing, while the other blacksmiths looked at Liu Laosan with envy. When he caught up with the military advisor, he was climbing a high branch. They all How can we not envy those at the bottom of society to have such an opportunity to escape from the military household?
Lu Chen raised his hands and pulled Liu Laosan up from the ground, "No need to be so polite! Just follow me from now on!" Lu Chen smiled and patted Liu Laosan on the shoulder.
"Where are those craftsmen? Here are some smart ones. I'll teach you how to nail horseshoes and put on stirrups. You also have to learn!" After accepting Liu Laosan, Lu Chen turned around and asked.
There were more craftsmen than blacksmiths, so they were divided into several teams, and then the leader of each team came to Lu Chen.
"Old Fang, go and get the horse here! It needs to be docile. If you give me a kick soon, I will suffer a big loss!" Lu Chen asked the craftsman to find a half-meter-high wooden pier, and at the same time asked Fang Qi to Find a horse with a docile temperament. After all, this is Lu Chen's first time to shoe horses, so he has to find a horse with a good temperament. The reason why Fang Qi is asked to find a horse is because he is the most familiar with Fang Qi. We had a fight the first time we met!
"Just use my mount!" Fang Qi didn't hesitate and asked his soldiers to fetch his big green horse.
"You should keep an eye on it! Don't let it kick me!" Lu Chen told Fang Qi to take good care of his big green horse, and then motioned to Fang Qi to direct the green horse to put its hooves on the wooden pier.
"Why did you ruin your horse like this!" Lu Chen looked at the green horse's hooves and couldn't help frowning. The horse's hooves had obviously not been taken care of and were almost curled up.
