Seeing that Tang Long was very knowledgeable about soldiers and armor, how could Jiang Hongfei not see that Tang Long was definitely an expert in soldiers and armor?

There is a very popular saying in this world: if strength is not enough, soldiers must come together.

Whether a Qi Master is strong or not depends not only on its attack power and defense power, but also on martial arts, magical powers, speed, spiritual power strength, spiritual power recovery speed, spiritual power usage skills, combat experience, etc.

However, no matter who it is, they have to admit that as long as their attack power and defense power increase, those weak Qi Refiners can still pose a threat to powerful Qi Refiners in some special situations, such as on the battlefield.

What's more, there are also weapons such as bows and crossbows that can narrow the strength gap between Qi Refiners.

It is no exaggeration to say that even an entry-level Qi practitioner who only has a certain spiritual root and has barely awakened his spiritual power, as long as he is given a crossbow and arrows, it is theoretically possible for him to kill a powerful Qi practitioner. Spiritual.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xin and others became a little wary when they saw that Jiang Hongfei had brought 300 spiritual guards equipped with armor and bows and crossbows that day.

Just because, if the tactics are used properly and the spirit guards cooperate well, then the three hundred spirit guards may not be able to kill powerful Qi practitioners such as Zhao Xin and Gao Liang.

More importantly, in large-scale wars, the main competition is between these low-level Qi warriors. In this way, the war is almost a battle of armor, morale, will, tactics, and command. .

In short, for a force, soldiers and armor are extremely important.

Therefore, although Tang Long's strength and character were not very good, his skills in refining armor and his understanding of armor alone were worthy of Jiang Hongfei's efforts to recruit him.

After the meal, Jiang Hongfei asked Wang Qing and Tang Long if they were okay. If they were okay, Jiang Hongfei would accompany him to the Daxiangguo Temple.

Wang Qing is an idler, so of course there is no problem.

It's too late for Tang Long to hide from the eunuchs in charge of the armory in the capital, so where can he go back? Furthermore, Tang Long was still thinking about borrowing some spiritual money from Jiang Hongfei and repaying his gambling debt to the eunuch in charge, so how could he not leave with Jiang Hongfei?

So, a group of four people came to Daxiangguo Temple.

Daxiangguo Temple is a royal temple with a large scale, covering an area of ​​more than 500 acres. It has majestic palaces, deep and wide courtyards, more than a thousand monks, and more than 10,000 monk rooms.

Zhao Ji sometimes came to Daxiangguo Temple to hold some prayers, birthday wishes or foreign affairs activities.

However, Zhao Ji, who believes in Buddhism but not in Buddhism, mostly goes to the Shangqing Baolu Palace he built himself to hold prayers, birthday celebrations or foreign affairs activities.

Daxiangguo Temple is open five times a month. The first, fifteenth and eighth days of each month are open days.

At these times, the outside of Daxiangguo Temple turns into a big market. People from the Gyeonggi area come from all directions, and it is crowded and bustling.

——Some of them came to burn incense and worship Buddha, some came to set up street stalls to do various businesses, some came to hang out and watch the sideshows, and some came to steal chickens and dogs. There were all kinds of people.

Today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and it is the day when the Daxiangguo Temple is open, so the Daxiangguo Temple is crowded and very lively.

Jiang Hongfei came to Daxiangguo Temple not to play, but to see the flower monk Lu Zhishen.

After Jiang Hongfei rescued Lin Chong's family, Coach Zhang said to Jiang Hongfei:

Lu Zhishen sent Lin Chong to Cangzhou, and after saving Lin Chong's life, he returned to Daxiangguo Temple and wanted to continue to see his vegetable garden.

Unexpectedly, Dong Chao and Xue Ba came back and said to Gao Qiu: "Just as he was about to kill Lin Chong in the wild boar forest, he was rescued by Lu Zhishen of the Grand Prime Minister's Temple. The monk was sent directly to Cangzhou, so he could not be harmed."

After hearing this, Gao Qiu was furious and ordered the elders of Daxiangguo Temple not to allow Lu Zhishen to hang out with him, and also sent people to capture Lu Zhishen.

Fortunately, Zhang San, the street rat, Li Si, the grass snake, and other gangsters informed Lu Zhishen in time. Lu Zhishen set a fire and burned down the vegetable garden, and then escaped in the rivers and lakes.

This happened not long ago. Jiang Hongfei estimated that Lu Zhishen might still be in Bianliang City now.

If you want to know whether Lu Zhishen is still in Bianliang City, you only need to find Zhang San, Li Si and other gangsters and ask.

Wang Qing knew about Zhang San, Li Si and other gangsters, saying that they hung around the Daxiangguo Temple all day long.

So Jiang Hongfei came over.

As soon as the four of them arrived at Daxiangguo Temple, they saw a group of scoundrels armed with slingshots, blowpipes, and sticks, surrounding a dignified young woman and her maid to tease her. Now, the young woman and the maid may have been taken advantage of by these rogues.

Tang Long took a closer look and immediately became furious. It turned out that the young woman who was being teased was none other than her sister-in-law, who was Xu Ning's wife.

Tang Long rushed over without saying a word, shouting at the same time: "The world is peaceful, but you are teasing your loved ones, you bunch of scoundrels will see if the Sa family doesn't kill you!"

But before Tang Long could rush to the place, a dark-faced, majestic beggar with a curly beard, nine feet tall, ten waists wide, and very blue hair knocked down all the gangsters with one punch.

When Tang Long saw him, he quickly bowed to the beggar and said, "Thank you, hero, for saving my sister-in-law. I'm Tang Long, and everyone in the world calls me Golden Leopard. Do you dare to ask me your surname?"

The beggar returned the gift perfunctorily: "Yan Shude."

Tang Long did not neglect Yan Shude because of Yan Shude's attitude, but continued to say enthusiastically: "If brother doesn't mind, I would like to buy him a drink to thank him for saving his sister-in-law."

As soon as the words came out, Tang Long remembered that he had no money on him.

Fortunately, at this moment, Jiang Hongfei, Wang Qing and Ruan Xiaoqi came over.

Seeing Jiang Hongfei, Tang Long felt confident immediately. He quickly said to Yan Shude: "Brother, I want to introduce you to a first-class martial arts hero. I met him for the first time today, and I have never had a close relationship with him, so he lent me a Baimin."

Yan Shude couldn't help but become a little interested when he heard that Jiang Hongfei was so generous with his wealth.

When Jiang Hongfei, Wang Qing and Ruan Xiaoqi came closer, Tang Long quickly introduced Jiang Hongfei and the other three to Yan Shude: "This is brother Jiang Fei, who is from Jeju. This is the military envoy of the king of Kaifeng Prefecture. Brother Jiang Fei is a sworn ally." Adopted brother. This is Brother Ruan Qi, Brother Jiang Fei’s companion."

Then, Tang Long introduced Yan Shude to Jiang Hongfei, Wang Qing and Ruan Xiaoqi: "This is brother Yan Shude."

In fact, Jiang Hongfei had already heard Yan Shude's self-introduction.

To be honest, Jiang Hongfei really didn't expect that Yan Shude would appear here.

yes.

Yan Shude met Xu Huai in Bianliang City in "Dang Kou Zhi", but that was because he lost all his money in business and went to his cousin Qin Ming. As a result, Qin Ming was paid off by Song Jiang, and he didn't want to lose his money. , he killed the person who persuaded him to go to Luocao, and then came to Bianliang City.

At present, the people from Songjiang are still serving as his escorts in Yuncheng, and it is impossible to make money from Qin Mingluocao.

So this timeline doesn't match up at all.

However, Jiang Hongfei did not dwell on this trivial matter.

In "Dang Kou Zhi", Yan Shude had the highest combat power ceiling of a Liangshan hero, Lu Junyi, Xu Ning and Zhang Qing, and the undefeated record of two Liangshan Eight Horsemen.

Considering that it was a great victory for the Zhao and Song Dynasties at that time. After losing two of the three passes of Liangshan in Shuibo, they were about to be wiped out by the army. Lu Junyi, Xu Ning and Zhang Qing's strength may be greatly reduced due to the setback. Yan Shude should not be Lu Junyi's. opponent.

But even so, Yan Shude, who can surely defeat Qin Ming, should be as strong as the Five Tigers, similar to Lin Chong and Guan Sheng.

What's even more commendable is that Yan Shude was a very affectionate and righteous person. Later, when his benefactor Xu Huai who rescued him from a life of poverty passed away, he actually died by touching his head on the coffin.

Jiang Hongfei must find ways to capture such a capable and loyal general.

Therefore, as soon as Tang Long introduced the two parties to each other, Jiang Hongfei couldn't wait to repeat his old trick and said: "Brother Shude, you are called my brother and you can wait!"
