Early morning.
Li Chao practiced guns with his father in the martial arts arena, and the old iron gun seriously passed on his marksmanship to Li Chao.
Li Chao also studied very seriously, and the father and son had not practiced like this for a long time.
When he was in Taozhou, although the old iron gun was also there, Li Chao was often busy with official business, and the time to practice guns together was gone.
"You've gotten a little bit of a good marksmanship."
The old iron gun closes the gunway.
"I know that I won't be able to get your true inheritance in my life, and my understanding is too poor."
Zhang Chao put away the gun and wiped the sweat from his face.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and the practice of guns requires hard training, and talent is still very important.
This thing can't be faked, even if you're a traverser, you won't have any bonus if you practice guns.
Zhang Chao's athletic talent is average, he has been practicing guns for more than a year, and now he is at most the level of an ordinary soldier, and he can't even reach the level of a soldier captain.
But he doesn't force it, he only practices guns for fitness, and he doesn't ask for a real spear prancing horse to take the lead in the charge.
"Uncle Qing, I've never seen you shoot, what kind of weapon are you using?"
Ke Qing followed Zhang Chao's side, and he had said that he would follow Zhang Chao for a month.
But later I got along with Zhang Chaoyue more and more, and now I have been half a year younger, and I still follow Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao also gave him an errand, the head of the Taozhou Tooth Soldiers.
The prince has sent several killers to assassinate Zhang Chao, but every time he has already been caught by Ke Qing, and even Zhang Chao has not had a chance to see Ke Qing shoot, and he doesn't even know what weapon he uses.
However, it seems that Ke Qing has eighteen weapons, and he seems to be proficient in everything.
"I'm using a judge's pen" Unexpectedly, Ke Qing didn't mean to hide it, and even touched it from his body, and actually found a pair of Qimen weapons.
Judging officers and soldiers, it resembles a large brush, with a thin tip and a thick and round handle.
However, Ke Qing's pair of pens are both nibs, and there is a ring in the middle of the pen body, which is shaped like an Emei thorn, and the ring is set on the finger and the pen can be rotated.
It looks about a foot long, and it is much larger than a regular pen.
A pair of judges' pens seem simple, but people who have always been able to use Qimen weapons are all masters.
The stranger the weapon, the more lethal it tends to be.
Li Chao smiled, thinking that it would be a knife and a sword, but he didn't expect it to be a judge's pen.
The shape and size of this pen is quite in line with his identity as an assassin, and it is easy to carry and hide.
"The judge's pen that the young girl also practiced" "No, she practiced crescent stabs."
The crescent thorn is also a Qimen weapon, and it is a double weapon like the judge's pen.
The whole shape is the head of a halberd, with thorns at both ends of the handle, and one side of the handle is connected by a horizontal branch to a bladed crescent blade, and when used, hold a thorn in each hand, keeping the crescent edge always facing outward.
It is characterized by agility and dexterity, and is good at taking advantage of the short and the long.
The officers and soldiers and the crescent spur are both two-handed hand-to-handed, which is a little more weird than the iron gun, which is a rather hard-hitting weapon.
But it fits well with the identity and style of the Assassins "Do you have darts, dark arrows, and money darts?"
asked Li Chao with a smile.
"Is there any sweat medicine?"
"Everyone who walks the rivers and lakes has a few unique skills and some small utensils.
Each is different, and it all depends on personal habits.
As for Mongolian medicine and poison, these are also indispensable things for walking the rivers and lakes. ” "Understood, Uncle Qing, I plan to recruit some young boys and girls, and finally some orphans, and then hand them over to your father and daughter for training, not to train them to be personal guards like Taozhou Yabing, but to train them to be assassins like you, specializing in stealth assassination, are you willing to help?"
Ke Qing put away the judge's pen.
"How many such people does Saburo plan to let us train" "There are not many fines, let's train a dozen or so first.
If you don't have seven men and six women, how about training thirteen first?"
"No problem, but choose young orphans, practice from scratch, and if you want to become a talent, the time must not be short, at least two or three years to become successful."
It's a bit long.
Li Chao said, "Practice first, remember that candidates must be selected well, not only with good talent, but also reliable." ” Dad asked Li Chao with some concern, "What are you training these people for?"
"Just in case" After the morning exercise, take a hot bath and change clothes.
Li Chao went directly to the Fan Pavilion.

Honglu Temple welcomed Qingluan and other people from the Eighteen Kingdoms into Chang'an City yesterday, and then placed them in the Fan Pavilion that had been prepared earlier.
It is said to be a fanguan, but it is actually a large building, and the location is not far from the imperial city.
Originally, there was more open space in the south of the city, and there were even people who planted vegetables and grain there, but after all, the envoys of Fanguo came to the court, and the Tang Dynasty still had a better face, although it did not reach the level of Yang Guang, and the merchants did not need to give money to eat, did not need to pay for the hotel, and in winter they still used silk to wrap trees so luxuriously, they could be arranged to live in the more prosperous Shangcheng District, which was still necessary.
The missions of each nation were given a courtyard, and their guards were taken with them.
Eighteen countries, plus a large group of envoys such as Turkic, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, Khitan, Gaochang, etc., the fan pavilion is still very lively.
Those envoys even went directly in front of their respective courtyards, put out some of the goods they had brought, and began to trade with the envoys of other countries.
At the same time, they can be regarded as knowing each other.
Zhang Chao was the promoter of the tribute of the Eighteen Kingdoms, and the imperial court specially arranged for Zhang Chao to be among the officials who received him.
When he arrived at the Fan Pavilion, Zhang Chao found that the official who presided over today was not Honglu Siqing, but Li Shimin, the dignified King of Qin.
Li Shimin also received a sudden order, and after being neglected for a long time, he was sent by the emperor to let him represent the imperial court and receive delegations from all walks of life.
In the words of the emperor, letting the King of Qin come forward to receive him in person is a high standard, representing the importance that the imperial court attaches to Zhufan.
But for Li Shimin, this is a real blow, he only saw the prince suffocating yesterday, and today he was sent to entertain the envoy.
"Your Highness" "Wu An Gong" The two unexpectedly met at the fan hall and greeted each other very politely.
The reception is actually very simple, that is, everyone introduces each other, and Li Shimin welcomes them on behalf of the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor.
The envoys took turns to pay tribute, and this tribute was actually equivalent to an official trade.
Each paid tribute to their specialties, and the Tang Dynasty rewarded them with more valuable silk, porcelain, tea and other Tang specialties.
However, it is not officially called trade, but tribute and reward.
For the Tang Dynasty, this is a very dignified thing, the Quartet comes to the court, and the eight sides pay tribute.
The court gained face, so the reward was generous, and for the fans, coming to the New Year to congratulate and pay tribute is not only to strengthen the connection, but also to avoid being beaten inexplicably, and to bye the pier.
At the same time, a large-scale official trade was also carried out on the occasion of tribute.
In the name of tribute, there are more Datang goods that can be exchanged, which is also very affordable.
In short, this is an activity for Datang to gain face and get lining.
It's just that this year is more lively than in previous years, especially the addition of the Eighteen Countries in the Southwest, which makes Datang even more powerful.
This kind of thing can't be said that Datang just spent money to buy face and suffered a loss.
After all, the imperial court will not lose money, because many tributes from the imperial court will be sold in the blink of an eye, and the selling price is very high.
For example, there are diamonds, jadeite, and various gemstones from the eighteen countries in the southwest, and diamonds and jadeite are not worth much now, but gold is still quite valuable.
Among the items paid tribute by the daughter country, there is a huge piece of dog's head gold weighing dozens of catties, which has a high gold content.
In other countries, there are many tributes to what kind of high-quality horses, silver foxes, ferrets, white bears, white deer, what Haidongqing, thousand-year-old ginseng and so on.
It's all good stuff, and there are even a lot of spices like pepper, some foreign beauties, etc.
Some of these tributes were kept by the emperor, some were sold, and some were used to reward the ministers.
Li Shimin cheered up and showed friendship with these people very seriously, and even gave some gifts to each other.
The gifts that Li Shimin took out and gave were perfumes, soaps, soaps, Buddhist scriptures, Confucian classics, Taoist scriptures, white sugar, rock sugar, brown sugar and other rare specialties of the Tang Dynasty produced by Li Sanjia.
Each person gives a little, which does not cost much, and it is quite face-saving.
"Your Highness, this is the Eastern Female King's Female Qingluan Girl, this is the Eastern Female Prince's Black Panther."
Li Shimin also knew that although the Dongnu Kingdom was a Xiqiang race, it was a place where women were the mainstay, and the princess was ranked in front of the prince.
"Dongnuguo is willing to attach the country to the Tang Dynasty and become the southwest Ping Domain of the Tang Dynasty" "Very good" Hearing the news, Li Shimin was very happy.
Internal attachment and tributary are two different things, and it is even more remarkable to raise domestic attachment, this is not a defeat and flight annexation, but with the people and land.
The daughter country has a population of more than 200,000 and more than 20,000 victorious soldiers, but after all, its position is also relatively special, and it is behind the party Xiangqiang.
Qingluan made an attached request, and at the same time requested the purchase of some Datang ordnance to increase some strength to deal with the prying eyes of the surrounding departments.
Li Shimin also agreed, saying that he would report to the emperor when he turned back.
On the same day, Li Chao, together with Li Shimin, Honglu Temple, and officials of the Ministry of Rites, reported the reception to the emperor.
"The daughter country has 2,000 miles of land, occupies the southwest Jinchuan region, known as the country of a thousand towers, with more than 20,000 soldiers, a population of more than 200,000, and the eight countries of Xishan as its vassals, and now the daughter country is willing to lead the eight countries to attach together, this is my luck for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yuan was very happy.
Immediately issued an edict to enshrine the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom, Tang Peng, as the king of Kangyan County.
The kings of the eight countries of Xishan were all named marquis, and Qingluan was also specially awarded the title of Jin Chuanbo.

He also added the rank of general of Queen Huaihua, and awarded the history of Kangyan Prefecture and the governor.
The eight kingdoms of Xishan established a state in each of their places, and gave their kings the position of marquis, thorns, and governors.
Li Yuan waved his hand very boldly, so Datang added nine new states in the southwest, one more county king, eight county marquis, and one county uncle.
As for the king of Tang Yan, whom he had just canonized, wanted to buy some ordnance from Datang, Li Yuan also agreed very haughtily.
After the event, Li Chao and Li Shimin retreated together.
Out of the palace gate, Li Shimin took the opportunity to say to Zhang Chao, "Tonight, you want to find a way to come to my house."
Li Chao nodded, and the two immediately separated, each going to the other t1706231537:
