Chapter 661 Why do I feel like they are playing?
"You've done well. Don't let him do whatever he wants. He thinks the whole world belongs to him just because he can win a war. He's extremely arrogant."
Both of them knew who Grand Tutor Wan was talking about.
Zhao Wenqi echoed, "Grand Master, let's talk about this battle. Lin Feng was able to defeat the Black Turban Army. From what I can see, it was all because of the Heavenly Thunder in his hands. If we could obtain the method to make Heavenly Thunder, we would be a hundred times more powerful than Lin Feng."
Jiao Sanqiang clapped his hands and said, "Yes, in terms of battle formations, who can compare to the Grand Master? Without the advantage of the heavenly thunder, Lin Feng is no better than him."
Master Wan narrowed his eyes and looked at a clump of green bamboo outside the window.
"I've heard a little about this thunderbolt. It's made of black gunpowder, filled with iron. When it's used, it's ignited with open flame and has the power to explode."
Jiao Sanqiang's eyes lit up: "Master, we can also make black gunpowder. It's very simple."
"Well, we can find a craftsman to make a trial one."
Zhao Wenqi smiled and said, "Grandmaster, the Imperial Guards have been our regular troops for many years. Why don't we secretly send someone to see how they make it?"
"Great! This is a great idea."
Jiao Sanqiang took advantage of the Grand Tutor's happiness and spoke quickly.
"Grand Master, the assessment standards for the Zhenxi Army are too harsh. Many officers and soldiers from the 11th and 9th Battalions have voluntarily withdrawn. My 7th Battalion alone has gathered nearly 10,000 men. Look at these people..."
Grand Tutor Wan nodded and said, "Well, you can keep these people for now."
"Thank you, Grand Tutor."
Jiao Sanqiang was very happy. In this way, his Seventh Battalion would have 30,000 people.
This is not a simple increase in manpower, but the expansion of the army, followed by the promotion of the leader.
As a general of the guards, he was supposed to command a maximum of 20,000 people.
Now that the army is expanding, we must upgrade ourselves.
Of course, it is possible that other senior generals would be sent, but with Grand Tutor Wan here, the only way left is to upgrade Jiao Sanqiang.
The three of them were in a good mood. This time, they not only went to the palace to receive the emperor's commendation.
The key point is that Lin Feng suffered a setback and his credit was taken away.
Grand Tutor Wan was very pleased and especially praised Zhao Wenqi, saying that he was indeed a talented general.
"Come here, take out the wine that I have collected and let the two generals have a taste."
Zhao Wenqi and Jiao Sanqiang quickly stood up to express their gratitude.
It has been many years since I have seen the old master so happy. Today is really a day of great things happening.
They were very happy, but Zhao Gui was very unhappy.
Zhao Gui led a thousand cavalrymen to the south gate of Kuncheng. He waited for a long time, but no one opened the door for him.
He originally wanted to explain the reason to Lin Feng, but it turned out that the other party didn't want to see him at all.
As the commander of the Imperial Guard, the Grand General of the Imperial Guard, and a member of the royal family.
This status is already frighteningly high in front of others.
But Lin Feng ignored him, which made Zhao Gui, who was always arrogant, feel very upset.
"From the city walls, call Zhao Shuo over here for this general."
Zhao Gui had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and have someone call Zhao Shuo's name.
It worked this time. After another quarter of an hour, Zhao Shuo finally appeared on the top of the city wall.
Zhao Shuo had just returned to the city. After days of searching, he was finally found in a ditch and then pulled back with the deflated balloon in a horse-drawn carriage.
He was alert. When he saw the balloon was about to fly towards the rebel camp, he immediately deflated it to stop the fire and forced it to land in the wilderness.
He nearly broke his butt, and the other two were only slightly injured.
I was lying on the bed resting when I heard that Zhao Gui brought a thousand people here.
I wanted to avoid meeting him, but I was afraid that Zhao Gui would provoke Lin Feng. Once he was killed, things would get out of hand.
Thinking of this, he quickly asked someone to help him climb to the top of the city wall.
The two brothers stared at each other for a moment.
"Zhao Shuo, what's going on? You won't let me into the city?"
Zhao Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "No, no one dares to turn away the commander of the Royal Guard Battalion."
"Stop talking nonsense and open the city quickly."
"Don't be in a hurry. I'll tell you the conditions. If you still insist on entering the city, then opening the city will be no problem."
Zhao Gui suppressed the anger in his chest.
"You said."
Zhao Shuo nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to enter the city, given your rank, Zhao Gui, you can bring 20 guards with you, and you must remove your armor and disarm before entering the city."
"what?"
Zhao Gui widened his eyes and glared at Zhao Shuo.
Zhao Shuo spread his hands: "Do you want to come in?"
Zhao Gui paused for a long while, finally catching his breath, knowing that Lin Feng had taken revenge on him.
I was thinking in my heart, I am not you, Lin Feng, who is afraid of everything. Even if I enter the city without any followers, what can you do to me?
"Okay, Zhao Shuo, I'll do as you say. Open the city gate."
This time it was Zhao Shuo's turn to be shocked.
How could Zhao Gui agree to such harsh conditions?
This is really courageous.
"Come, open the city gate."
Zhao Shuo no longer hesitated. Since he had said it, he had to keep his word.
The south gate of Kuncheng was slowly opened, and the soldiers standing on both sides stared at Zhao Gui and others vigilantly with guns in hand.
Only after twenty soldiers put aside their armor and weapons did they clear the way into the city.
Zhao Shuo accompanied Zhao Gui into the city.
"Zhao Shuo, you are really capable. You dare to cheat your brother."
"Is this a trap? This is called equal diplomacy, okay?"
"Tsk, what is Lin Feng busy with?"
"First, you can't just call me Lin Feng casually. Second, my brother is very busy and doesn't have time to pay attention to you."
Zhao Gui gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, your elder brother is awesome, can I come and meet him?"
"Well, I'll go ask my brother later if he's free to see you."
The two of them talked as they walked, and came straight to the edge of the school military field. Through a row of fences, they saw that it was very lively inside.
The crowd gathered very tightly and cheered from time to time.
Zhao Gui asked curiously, "What are they doing?"
"Train, what else can I do?"
Zhao Gui's curiosity was aroused, and he turned in from an entrance of the military school.
Several guards separated the crowd in front and let Zhao Gui come to the front.
There was an open space in the middle of the crowd, with a dozen soldiers running hard inside.
Zhao Gui discovered that nearly twenty soldiers, all wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts, were desperately fighting for a ball.
Those who grabbed the ball kicked it around to avoid the people who were surrounding them.
Zhao Gui frowned and asked, "Hey, Zhao Shuo, what are they training for?"
Zhao Shuo replied while watching the situation on the field.
"My eldest brother said that this is to train the soldiers' physical coordination."
"Oh...huh?"
Zhao Gui's eyes suddenly focused and he saw a familiar figure.
"That... isn't your elder brother..."
"Oh, it's my eldest brother."
"You... said he was busy."
Zhao Shuo pointed with his finger: "Look, he's busy, sweating all over."
With the roars of countless soldiers around him, Lin Feng dribbled the ball past the opponent's defender and kicked the ball into a goal frame.
The soldiers on one side immediately jumped up and down and cheered, as if they had just received their full salary.
It was even more exciting than getting double the military salary.
Zhao Gui asked in confusion: "Zhao Shuo, why do I feel like they are playing?"
