, the future guards will be an iron army that combines mission, loyalty, responsibility, and glory.

Ming Yu values them very much, and focuses on training them, not only focusing on physical training, but also cultural lessons. Originally, I wanted to let this group of recruits follow suit, but now it seems that I can only give up.

"No! The training time for this group of recruits is too short, and their foundation is too poor to take up the responsibility of guarding." Mo Jiang denied it.

Mo Jiang's stubbornness also left Ming Yu speechless, how could the situation be so serious? He just stayed in the palace, at most occasionally went to the craftsman workshop to see, where would there be any danger

Ming Yu talked earnestly for a long time, finally Mo Jiang let go, and promised that Ming Yu's guards can use recruits, but the elderly also need to have them, so they will get half of them. Ok! Speaking of this, it is useless to argue, so Ming Yu had no choice but to compromise.

Mo Jiang was still not at ease, and warned: "My lord, you must not leave the city. If you have anything to do, you can arrange it after the subordinates have taken down this wave of barbarians."

Ming Yu raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Definitely!" This Mo Jiang, why is he chattering like Qingping now, can this still be contagious? Sure enough, it's hard to justify not making a pair!

Although he was still worried, Mo Jiang finally complied, and was about to leave when Ming Yu asked someone to bring a small box and handed it to Mo Jiang, "Going to deal with the barbarians is somewhat dangerous. You will Bring this thing with you for self-defense."

Mo Jiang was taken aback, opened the box, and when he saw the things lying inside, he was filled with emotion, "Your Highness, this is something for His Highness's self-defense, and this subordinate must not accept it." Mo Jiang has seen this thing before. Yes, it is something called 'Crossbow', which is amazingly powerful and lethal, and it was made by the craftsman in charge of the prince.

Mo Jiang refused, but Ming Yu couldn't help but put the thing in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's not like you don't know that new ones are still being made in the craftsman's workshop. I originally wanted to give you that new one, but this thing The production is precise and takes a lot of time, this time you go to fight against the barbarians, you can't wait for new ones, so just use this first."

It must be said that he was very pleasantly surprised that the craftsman workshop could make a small crossbow according to what he described. When the first one was made, he tried it in the guard camp. Although there were still some flaws, it did not affect the use.

At that time, when Ji You saw it, it was as if he saw the girl he liked, and he couldn't turn his eyes away. Ji You loves archery, and his arrows are precise, and it is not too much to shoot through Yang with a hundred steps. Lie Xinxi was delighted to see Ming Yu take out such a magic weapon. He tried it a few times, and he couldn't put it down more and more, so he hugged Ming Yu softly and stubbornly, and wanted to ask for it no matter what.

Ming Yu can't help it either, the one in front of him is Xie Yixiu's beloved general of the Red Robe Army. He has been borrowed to the guard camp for so long, and if he wants such a small thing, it is impossible to justify not giving it.

Besides, this is just a flawed experimental product, and there is still room for improvement in the future. Ji You has superb shooting skills, and his opinions are of great use in improving this thing. So Ming Yu was not stingy, and with a generous wave of his hand, he accepted it.

In the underground passage in the village, Ji You used this crossbow to shoot through the armor of the barbarians.

What Ming Yu took out today is the second crossbow, and it was also made after improvement. It is a crossbow that is really close to the future generations. If there is a perfect second one, there will be a third or even a fourth one, so Ming Yu doesn't feel bad about sending the crossbow at all.

"My lord..." Mo Jiang was at a loss for the first time, and he was grateful for his trust.

Ming Yu patted him on the shoulder, "You have been with me the longest, you know me, and I don't say much else, I have never seen you as a subordinate." Wang's self-proclaimed, Ming Yu did not show her identity, but acted like a friend.

"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness!" Mo Jiang bowed his head in thanks, his lowered eyebrows suppressing the turbulent waves in his eyes.

The sun was shining outside the door, Xie Yixiu saw this scene as soon as he came, and Ming Yu's hand on Mo Jiang's shoulder was inexplicably dazzling.

The enemy was right in front of him, and Mo Jiang didn't dare to delay any longer. The guards had already rushed over there, and he had to rush over to make overall arrangements and make preparations for all battles.

In fact, Mo Jiang was also very uneasy, because the guards had too little actual combat experience. In addition to the confrontation exercise with the red robe army garrison, at most it was to wipe out the bandits.

Everyone knows that the power of the bandits is not comparable to that of the barbarians. The guards could easily wipe out the bandits, but they might not have an advantage in the face of the barbarians.

He has seen the methods of the barbarians before, they are fierce and violent, they come and go like the wind on horseback, they are almost invincible. Since they let their guards deal with the barbarians, everything must be cautious.

However, Ming Yu is very relieved of the guards, the young eagle, you have to let him fly, only then will there be a wider sky waiting for them. He will never grow up if he is not released to exercise. Now he just needs to wait for their good news.

Ming Yu sighed, originally he wanted to start the construction of the horse farm, but now he can't leave the city, so he can only let it go. As for digging the canal, he has some new ideas, but this idea cannot be realized for a while. If it is realized, the canal will save a lot of time and effort, and it will not be a problem at all.

There is still a need for a craftsman's workshop. Now the burden of the craftsman's workshop is already very heavy. Making glass products, making clairvoyance, and making crossbows, the little manpower brought from Beijing is simply too busy. Although he had asked the craftsman to recruit apprentices, the apprentices were only doing peripheral work at first, and the real precision things still depended on the old man.

There are still many things to do, and the craftsmen in the craftsman workshop have already had opinions, and they are painful and happy every day. If he wants to turn his new ideas into reality, I'm afraid it will drive them crazy!

Ming Yu has some headaches. It seems that he has to focus on doing what is needed first and giving up some things at the right time to be efficient.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Xie Yixiu under the sunlight. He was so handsome, with silver armor and red robe, so eye-catching under the sunlight, Ming Yu couldn't help being dazed.

After recovering, Ming Yu smiled and said, "General Xie is here!"

Xie Yixiu suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, bowed and saluted, "I've seen the prince!"

Xie Yixiu was able to appear here without being notified, because Ming Yu had sent a message, and told him that whenever General Xie came, he could come in directly.

"Why is the general here? This king is still thinking of sending someone to notify you. Since you are here, there is no need to just make this trip." Ming Yu let Xie Yixiu into the hall with a smile, and said after the two parties were seated .

Xie Yixiu frowned at Ming Yu's words, and there was a faint feeling of sourness in his heart. Just now, Ming Yu called himself me when talking to Mo Jiang. But now he put on a mask again, and called me the king in front of him. Although he knew that Ming Yu's self-proclaimed behavior was due, but he somehow felt uncomfortable.

He managed to gather his composure, suppressed the restless feeling in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that the barbarian bandits have been exposed, and I came here to take a look. Do you need to send out the red-robed army?"

Although the barbarians outside Shichong Pass are making frequent moves, there is no sign of attacking for a while. The invasion of a small group of barbarians made him feel uneasy all the time, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Early this morning, I heard the news that the barbarians were found in the north of Liangzhou, so I hurried over. Originally, he felt unreasonably happy because of seeing Ming Yu, but after seeing the scene just now, his heart turned cold. Xie Yixiu also found that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't find out what caused it. He had never been like this before, and it was really inexplicable.

Ming Yu has already noticed that Xie Yixiu is in a bad mood today, although he still has a cold face as always, but when he is happy or unhappy, he gives people a different feeling. Ming Yu has already figured out Xie Yixiu's temper, but he doesn't know why? Maybe it's because of the barbarians outside Shichong Pass. Could it be that the barbarians have some new moves

He had already guessed the purpose of Xie Yixiu's coming here, and quickly said: "No, no, our guards are more than enough to deal with the barbarians, so don't bother the red-robed army to go." The red-robed army has to deal with the barbarian army outside the pass. , If you allocate more people to take care of the invading barbarians, you are afraid that you will lose the big because of small things. If you really delay the important affairs of the country, you will become a sinner.

Xie Yixiu's face became even more gloomy. From what Ming Yu said, the guards were his own people, and outsiders like the Red Robe Army should not intervene. In this way, the commander of the guard battalion was also his own, and he, Xie Yixiu, was after all an outsider. It's no wonder that Ming Yu's attitude towards Commander Mo is very intimate, and there is always a layer of estrangement when facing other people.

When he thought of this, he felt uncomfortable, and he didn't know why he was inexplicably uncomfortable with Ming Yu's attitude deviation. Logically speaking, how the prince treats others is not a courtier's business, but... what's wrong with me

Ming Yu sneaked a glance at him, what's the matter? Did he say something wrong? "General Xie, don't worry, this is still an opportunity to train the cubs. They will definitely perform well and finally hand in a satisfactory answer. Besides, Commander Mo is here, so there is no need to worry."

It's good not to mention Mo Jiang, but when Mo Jiang is mentioned, Xie Yixiu's heart is even more panicked. "I'm not worried, since the prince said so, then let's do it."

"General Xie? Is there nothing wrong outside Shichong Pass?" Ming Yu asked with concern.

Xie Yixiu said coldly, "It's nothing."
