"Mr. General Li Xiao, I will never ask for anyone until I am in a difficult situation. The guardian king Daoqi still has difficulty paying enough food and salary for the marching cavalry every month. If he still wants to ask him to pull out his armor and weapons, wouldn't he be embarrassed? In this place in Jinzhou, there is no connection or support, but it is really difficult to take steps. After thinking about it, I only thought that the general was generous and chivalrous, and could still ask for it. Because he had an appointment to discuss martial arts that day, he would come here today to ask the general to relieve the danger."

Li Xiao quickly finished this passage and gave a solemn salute to Zu Dabi.

"Li Xiao, now all the prefectures and forts in Liao Town are living a casual life. If you have the desire to serve the country, I will appreciate it." Zu Dabi looked at Li Xiao deeply, then sighed and said, "But this matter is difficult for you. To tell you the truth, the Liao salary every year is getting less and less, and there is also a serious lack of military weapons and armor in Jinzhou. General Zu Dazhi has sent people to the capital to urge him to handle it, but he doesn't know when he can deliver it."

Li Xiao's heart suddenly sank: "Sir, is it difficult to even use the armor and weapons of these dozens of people?"

Zu Dabi looked at Li Xiao's serious expression and suddenly laughed. Li Xiao was a little overwhelmed by his smile.

"Why are you laughing so much?"

"Li Xiao, although the military equipment and food are insufficient in this place in Liaodong, it would be ridiculous if you can't even buy dozens of armor. Forget it, when I write a note, Jiao Anguo will take you to Weicang to collect it. How much can you get depends on your ability. If you make a contribution in the future, don't forget my kindness of help."

After Zu Dabi said this, he looked at Li Xiao meaningfully.

"I am really grateful to Li Xiao for helping me like this today. If you have another achievement in the future, I would like to give my first contribution to you." Li Xiao's eyes were bright and he lowered his voice and said to Zu Dabi.

"Haha, it's so good! Li Xiao, you know a lot, and I feel comfortable. Come on, after drinking some slack wine, I will write you a note." Zu Dabi laughed loudly, and after holding the wine jar to greet Li Xiao, he raised his neck and drank it all.

Li Xiao also drank all the remaining wine in the jar, but he felt inexplicably moved.

There is no regulation in this world who must help anyone.

The most fundamental thing about others is that you can bring more benefits to others.

The reason why Zu Dabi was willing to give himself a letter to collect his armor was very important, that he valued his potential for greater gains in the future, so that he could share military achievements.

From this point of view, Zu Dabi, who looks rough and delicate on the outside, is equivalent to using his power to make a long-term investment with great returns, so why not do it?

After Zu Dabi wrote the note, he asked the captain Jiao Anguo to lead Li Xiao to Weicang to collect armor and weapons.

Jiao Anguo, the captain of the servant team, had just seen Zu Dabi be so enthusiastic about Li Xiao. Although he was very surprised that the general Zu Dabi would attach great importance to such an unknown small household, he soon realized that it must be because of this Li Xiao's extraordinary nature that he was so popular with Zu Dabi. In this way, Li Xiao may have great potential in the future, so he needs to have a good relationship with this person.

Jiao Anguo was originally a very good talker, so along the way, he was very intimate about Li Xiao. He walked along the way and said a lot about the situation of the governments in Jinzhou City, how to operate and interrelationships. These introductions were very helpful to Li Xiao, who was not familiar with official affairs. When he finally arrived at Juao Cang, where military supplies were collected, Li Xiao had a good impression of Jiao Anguo. The two called brothers and laughed happily, just like friends for many years.

Unlike the Forward Camp, these guardhouses that store armour and supplies are located in Jinzhou City.

When such benefits are made, if the enemy attacks, this important logistics material can be preserved by the defending of the strong city and will not be lost in the field.

The two entered Jinzhou City from the west gate, passed through the main street, and passed a T-shaped street with Gaoshen Temple, Academy, Niangniang Temple and Guandi Temple. Then they turned to Yamen Street, where the Governor's Yamen, General's Yamen and other government offices stood on both sides, with soldiers holding guns and swords standing guard. There were fewer pedestrians on this street, and most of them were official officials. However, the entire street had added a lot of power and pressure to the government.

The two continued walking forward and crossed Yamen Street. Not far ahead were the prison guards, the Governor's Office, the Secretariat, and the Secretariat were scattered by the officials. Then they walked over the Laifu Temple and the sub-patrol road. It was the largest military and supplies guard warehouse in Jinzhou City, Juao Cang.

"Li Xiao, go to the official hall in the warehouse and so on. Hu Dusi, who is in charge of the warehouse, usually comes here in the morning, and will not come in the afternoon." After entering Ao Cang, Jiao Anguo pointed to a official hall and said in a low voice: "My brother, you need to know that Hu Dusi loves yellow and white things the most. If you don't have money, it's a difficult thing to do."

"Oh, thank you Brother Jiao for giving it."

Seeing that he had brought his people here, Jiao Anguo was about to leave, but was pulled by Li Xiao.

"Brother Jiao worked hard all the way, but take these two taels of silver." Li Xiao took out a little silver from his arms and handed it to Jiao Anguo with a smile.

Jiao Anguoluo pushed him away, and Li Xiaoqiang wanted to give him the gift, so he smiled and put him in his arms, and the smile on his face showed even more harmony.

"The next day, my brother will come to my camp again. Brother Yu invites you to drink." Jiao Anguo patted Li Xiao's shoulder familiarly again.

"Well, I will not return without getting drunk with Brother Jiao."

After entering the official hall, Li Xiao handed a note written by Zu Dabi to a military soldier. He only waited in the official hall for a while, and someone called him in the inner room.

When he entered the inner room, Li Xiao saw that on the long table in front, a fat white official wearing a regular uniform of a fourth-rank military officer was sitting upright, looking carefully at the note written by Zu Dabi to himself.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiao knelt halfway on the ground and bowed to the salute.

"In the hundred households of the Central Tunnel in Xiaguangning, Li Xiao, I will pay a visit to Hu Dusi."

"Oh, it turns out that you are that Li Xiao."

Hu Quan, the Guankudusi, stroked a strand of clear beard on his chin, and his tone was smooth and rising. To Li Xiao, it seemed to have a hint of teasing.

"It's a humble position."

"I heard that you won 6 Tartar heads that day and are quite famous in this Jinzhou place."

Hu Quan's sharp voice made Li Xiao feel very uncomfortable, but he still said in a humble and arrogant manner: "What luck is the one who gets, He Zu is concerned about the problem."

Hu Quan sneered and called Li Xiao to get up. He looked at Li Xiao who was tall and steady, but the more he looked at this person, the more he disliked him.

Li Xiao, who heard that he was born in a very humble family, was just a hunter in the countryside in Jinzhou. He was lucky enough to get the head of the Tartars. Now he was promoted to a hundred households and was given the position of the hundred generals. Now he is so handsome.

It’s a pity that I have been in charge of the custody for many years and have always wanted to connect the relationship and transfer it to the south to seek peace and freedom, not as frightened as on the Jinzhou front line. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough money and the relationship is not enough. I have never been able to connect with the governor or military power level, which makes me depressed and depressed. Compared with others, this person is really angry.

Li Xiao heard that he had received 300 taels of silver and 4 pieces of silk from the court. Now he is very generous. Humph, since you hit me today, how could you easily let go of you, the fat sheep that came to your door!

Hu Quan came back from his thoughts, looked at Zu Dabi's subordinates' handkerchief Chen in a pretentious manner, and then coughed and said, "I have seen this subordinates' handkerchief Chen in Zu Gan General. But now the military armor in the warehouse is extremely short of all, and it is difficult for you to get these armor and weapons."

Li Xiao smiled, he took out a small bag that had been prepared from his arms and handed it to Hu Quan.

"I'm very careful. Hu Dusi has worked hard, so please accept it with a smile."

Hu Quan nodded, took it from Li Xiao's hand, weighed it with his hand, but it was just a small bag of 17 or 18 taels. His face suddenly sank and he immediately shouted angrily: "Li Xiao, do you think this official is a beggar? You have to get thirty people's armor and weapons with such a small amount of silver. Isn't that a joke?"

"Sir, don't be angry, but please open your view."

Hu Quan snorted, slanted coldly at Li Xiao, who was still smiling, and casually untied the rope on the small bag. A golden light flashed inside, which made him feel tremble.

It turned out that what Li Xiao gave was the best gold and pure, and such a 17 or 8 taels of gold was worth 200 taels of silver.

This Li Xiao is quite generous in his actions.

But where did Li Xiao get the gold? Didn’t the court only reward him with silver?

As if Hu Quan had seen through it, Li Xiao smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Hu, these golds are a separate reward from the Liaodong Governor Fang that day. Now, all of them are dedicated to Lord Hu."

Hu Quan was shocked again when he heard this, "Okay, this Li Xiao was a typical example of the general Zu Dashou Shu that day, but he was even appreciated by the governor Fang Yizao."

Could it be that this person is lying to me?

Hu Quan thought intently and felt that it was not like that. After all, what Li Xiao had given out was real gold. If it weren't for the reward of a high-ranking official, where could he get it? Moreover, as a general of the gang, Zu Dabi was willing to issue a letter to such a small household. It seems that this person is indeed loved and appreciated by these high-ranking officials in Liaodong.

In this way, this Li Xiao is worth making friends with...

Li Xiao stared at Hu Quan's moving eyes, feeling secretly happy. He had never seen Fang Yizao before. It seemed that his approach to pulling the banner into a tiger's skin made the Hu Dusi, who was in charge of the warehouse, start to focus on his activities.

In the inner room, a strange silence fell into the silence.

Hu Quan coughed twice, and a warm smile appeared on his face: "Li Xiao, this is the bounty given to you by Lord Fang, but how can I accept it..."

"Don't be polite to Hu Dusi. You have worked hard and these golds are just a little bit of it. Of course, Li Xiao is in love today. If Li Xiao meets Lord Fang in the future, he will definitely speak well for Dusi."

Li Xiao's respectful words made Hu Quan feel refreshed. He smiled and put the small golden bag in his arms.

This Li Xiao is quite good at observing the face. If this person can really say some good things to him from Lord Fang in the future, he wants to transfer to the south, but his chances will increase...

"Li Xiao, since you said this, I am disrespectful. Although the weapons and armor in Juao Cang are insufficient, I have just thought about it carefully and remember that there are more than 30 pieces of iron scale armor and weapons such as riding horses and rifles in this warehouse. I want to give them to the servants of the generals at that time, so I will draw them to you now."

After Hu Quan said these kind words, the smile on his face became even more friendly.

"Mr. Li Xiaocheng's kindness is really grateful." Li Xiao bowed his hand and bowed his hand repeatedly.

Hu Daquan nodded with satisfaction, then called a few soldiers and whispered. The people went down to the warehouse to get the armor and weapons needed by Li Xiao.

Soon, these soldiers took their armor and weapons and piled them in front of Li Xiao, and they were stacked like a hill.

Li Xiao, who was still standing, glanced at the iron scales that were moved out, and couldn't help but feel excited.

Li Xiao read the Ming Shi and knew that this thing was much more expensive than ordinary ordinary iron armor. It took craftsmen several months to make a pair of iron scale armor. Each small rectangular iron leaf has small round holes at both upper and lower parts. The iron leaves are made of beef tendons, combined with six-flap iron helmets, shoulder guards, shin guards, wrist guards, palm guards, etc. The total set is worth about 150 or sixty taels. It is rare for personal soldiers and servants like generals to be qualified to wear such good armor. If you are an ordinary soldier, you can't even think about it.

Li Xiao walked over and picked up an iron scale armor to take a closer look. He was delighted to see that the iron scale armor was extremely exquisitely crafted, thick iron leaves, and a lot of materials. He felt very heavy when he picked it up, about fifty kilograms. The average cotton armor weighed only thirty kilograms at the most, and only ten kilograms of iron could only barely block the damage of the bow and arrow. Compared with this thick and exquisite iron scale armor, it was really a difference between heaven and earth.

Li Xiao looked at the more than 30 horse riding and rifles again, and they were all well maintained. The back of the knife was thick and the blade was sharp, which was actually a top-grade weapon.

"Li Xiao, a total of 33 iron scale armor, 35 rifles, 33 knights, and 20 bows and arrows are all given to you in full," Hu Quan said to Li Xiao with a smile, with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Thank you, Du Si Hou'en, what to do next day, but Du Si's orders are not required." Li Xiao smiled happily and bowed to him again, and at the same time gave him a look full of hints.

The two of them laughed with their hands, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely harmonious.
