There are bandits attacking

Chapter 122: Contest

Chapter 120: The Competition

After discussing in the evening, Zhang Jiu and Qin Ce and his wife finally decided to put down the things at hand and spend all the recent events and energy on accompanying Qin Yi and Zhao Ye, striving to be on call.

As soon as he got up and went out the next day, Zhang Jiu heard the sound of fighting not far away. After meeting Qin Ce who was also suspicious, the two walked forward tacitly.

Naturally, it is impossible for any fights to happen in Qin Ce's Prince's Mansion. After entering, Zhang Jiu saw Qin Yi fighting against Jiang Ning, and Zhao Ye leisurely watched their competition from the sidelines.

Qin Ce and Zhang Jiu naturally joined Zhao Ye's ranks, and learned the whole story from Zhao Ye's mouth: last night they randomly arranged the two drunk people into two rooms, which happened to be Jiang Ning In the courtyard where they lived, getting up early to exercise every morning was something Qin Yi compared with Zhao Ye. After Jiang Ning woke up, he saw the two practicing in the courtyard, so he eagerly moved forward to compare with Qin Yi.

Although Jiang Ning has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is still incomparable to someone like Qin Yi who has experienced battles. Soon even Zhang Jiu, a layman who can only watch the excitement, sees that Jiang Ning is at a disadvantage. Losing is only a matter of time. .

"Good work, I'm convinced." Even though he lost, Jiang Ning still praised the other party with a smile, "I heard from Master Jiu that the two generals of my court have returned to the capital, are you two?"

Qin Yi nodded and smiled, "You are not weak either. If you stay on the battlefield for a long time like us, I believe you will surpass me."

"Is what you said true?" Jiang Ning, who was praised, jumped to Zhang Jiu's side and flaunted, "Did you hear me, Lord Jiu? I have the potential to surpass the general. You can't call me a reckless man anymore." "

Zhang Jiu took a step back and looked at Jiang Ning with distaste, "That's polite, can't you hear it? Also, you're sweaty, stay away from me"

Jiang Ning's smiling face suddenly became extremely aggrieved, but feeling Qin Ce's fierce gaze, he had to take a step away from Zhang Jiu, "Master Jiu, can you show me some face?"

"I'm already very polite to give you face."

Jiang Ning knew that what Zhang Jiu said was not a good thing, so he glared at Zhang Jiu, and Jiang Ning suddenly found a deep red mark on Zhang Jiu's fair neck, with a playful smile in his eyes, "Jiu Ye , what is this red spot on your neck?"

Jiang Ning's words attracted the eyes of Qin Yi and Zhao Ye. After seeing the hickey on Zhang Jiu's neck, the eyes of the two became ambiguous. Sure enough, there is nothing wrong.

The awkward expression on his face lasted only a short second. Zhang Jiu quickly returned to normal. He touched his neck and glared at Qin Ce who was holding back his smile. "It's nothing, just bitten by a dog."

Qin Ce, who couldn't help laughing, immediately received three pairs of teasing looks. Qin Ce shrugged his shoulders indifferently when he met the eyes of the three people who wrote "So you are a dog".

Qin Ce didn't speak, but Jiang Ning wouldn't give up so easily, "Master Jiu, wouldn't you bite back after being bitten by a dog?" Jiang Ning expressed his disappointment that he didn't see the same thing on Qin Ce.

"Only animals will bite back after being bitten, are you?" Zhang Jiu asked back?

After being hit again, Jiang Ning directly abandoned Zhang Jiu. Instead of asking for anger, after turning around, he became serious again as if changing his face, and said to Qin Yi and Zhao Ye, "I guess this one has the 'iron blood' This is General Qin who is known as "General", and this is General Zhao who is known as "General in White", I don't know if I am right?"

For Zhang Jiu and Jiang Ning who faced their two completely different personalities, Zhao Ye and Qin Yi were very surprised. If they knew that there was a disease called schizophrenia, they would definitely suspect that Jiang Ning had this disease.

Zhao Ye hid the surprise in his eyes, judging from the way Jiang Ning and Zhang Jiu got along, the two must have an unusual relationship, and judging from Jiang Ning's good eyesight, he felt that Jiang Ning might also be a wonderful person. "That's a good guess. I'm Zhao Ye. He's Qin Yi. I don't know what your name is?"

"My name is Jiang Ning, and my name is Chen Hao. You can call me Xiao Ning like Lord Jiu, or you can call me by my first name."

After some hand-to-hand conversations, plus they are friends of Zhang Jiu, Zhao Ye and Qin Yi still have a good impression of Jiang Ning, and they directly regard Jiang Ning as a friend, "If you don't mind, you can talk to Xiao Jiu and Zhang Jiu. Heng Zhi also called us big brother and cousin."

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind," Jiang Ning replied without hesitation. "Hello big brother, good cousin, please take care of me when we first meet"

"..." He is too familiar, Qin Yi and Zhao Ye looked at each other, this Jiang Ning is indeed a wonderful person.

After exchanging pleasantries here, Qin Ce over there also started to feel itchy after watching a competition, so he dragged Zhao Ye to the competition, and the final result was that Qin Ce defeated Zhao Ye by a small margin, and of course he won. It's not easy.

Then Qin Ce competed with Qin Yi again, and Jiang Ning fought Zhao Ye again with the goal of pulling back the round, but unfortunately lost again, and his self-confidence suffered a big blow.

However, Jiang Ning's recovery ability is absolutely top-notch. After eating, he started to jump around again, and joined the ranks of accompanying Qin and Yi. I have to say that Jiang Ning and the other four laughed a lot. The active atmosphere made a great contribution, and Zhao Ye and the others regarded Jiang Ning as a pistachio.

Even if a few big men visited the capital, they only entered some men's places, which naturally included iron shops. As Qin Yi, who loves weapons like his life, every time he came to the capital, he would buy all the iron shops and weapons in the capital. Looking at it again, even if he hasn't returned to the capital for more than two years, Qin Yi can still tell which one is the best.

After visiting a few iron shops, Zhang Jiu finally understood why Qin Yi showed a jealous expression when Zhao Ye gave him the dagger. This man is crazy about weapons. Zhang Jiu began to wonder if he could Give Qin Yi something like this.

But after several inquiries, Zhang Jiu had a certain understanding of the current iron smelting industry, and then he realized how difficult it is to make a good weapon now, and also knew a fact that the people of Daqin were unwilling to admit That is, Huth's iron smelting industry is much more advanced than that of Daqin. Because the weapons are not as good as the opponent's, in this generation of cold weapons with swords, guns, swords and halberds, Daqin's soldiers have suffered a lot for this.

After understanding these, Zhang Jiu began to wonder if he could help, so Zhang Jiu tried his best to use the knowledge he had seen before.

"Xiao Jiu, what are you thinking?" Qin Ce was the first to notice Zhang Jiu's silence and asked.

"I'm thinking about how to improve Daqin's iron smelting technology, so that I can help my eldest brother and cousin not suffer because of weapons on the battlefield," Zhang Jiu said, but he knew little about this aspect, so even if he wanted to If he wants to help, he is powerless and unable to help. Zhang Jiu regrets that he didn't study science at the beginning, and it's okay to watch some programs about science, so he won't be as ignorant as he is now.

"Then what's the best way?" Before Qin Ce could speak, Qin Yi asked impatiently.

Zhang Jiu shook his head. All he knew was the development process learned from history textbooks, such as steelmaking technology, quenching technique, and steel pouring method. As for the principles and how to make them, he knew nothing about them.

Jiang Ning, who always regarded Zhang Jiu as an omnipotent god-man, saw that Zhang Jiu was unwilling to believe his own eyes, and asked unwillingly, "Master Jiu, do you really have no good way?"

If there is any way for him to hide it, Zhang Jiu squinted at Jiang Ning, "I only remember the names of a few technologies in this area that I have seen before, and I don't know the rest, do you want to listen to it? "

Jiang Ning shook his head. Even if he listened to it, he might not be able to understand it. He would definitely get a few cold looks from Zhang Jiu. Why bother to ask?

Jiang Ning didn't want to listen, but Qin Yi really wanted to know what Zhang Jiu said, "Xiao Jiu, you might as well say it out and listen, maybe it will be really useful."
