Chapter 991: The Arsenal
"My Lord!"
"Sir!"
"Sister!"
The three thousand of the Dark Night Legion finally arrived at the city gate.
Seeing so many fellow villagers come to welcome them, everyone felt a violent surge of emotion in their hearts.
As soon as Jiang Xuan dismounted, this group of people came up to meet him.
It has been a year.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed without seeing each other; Jiang Xuan greeted everyone one after another, his expression agitated.
"Hahahaha, Jiang Xuan has grown taller!"
Liu Dahao could not help but laugh out loud.
Everyone laughed.
Zheng Yue Ru also walked over, smiling as she said, "You've matured quite a bit, you're a big young man now."
As she spoke, she even patted Jiang Xuan on the head.
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Sister!"
Jiang Xuan gave a wry smile.
He was, after all, the primary commander of the Dark Night Legion now, yet he was being treated like a child by Zheng Yue Ru in front of everyone.
Zheng Yue Ru herself possessed stunning beauty, and now, having held great power for several years, her temperament was extraordinary; that aura of a superior made people look upon her with awe. Seeing Jiang Xuan like this, she chuckled and said, "What's wrong? Now that you're a Great General, you're no longer Sister's little Xuanzi?"
The crowd laughed again.
"General Jiang!"
"Greetings, General!"
Zou Sheng, Zhai Shiqing, and the others also came over one after another to offer their greetings.
Leave!
The entire Dark Night Legion could finally go on leave.
The scene was also tear-jerking.
These young men of the Dark Night Legion had grown so much after this trip to Central Asia. Each one had become a good son to their parents and a good lover to the young women.
This time, the battle record of the Dark Night Legion was indeed quite fierce; once spoken of, who in the entire Longyan could compare?
Who didn't know that there was a Special Forces unit in Liangzhou that could pacify the Ottoman Empire with just three thousand men!
Therefore, Liangzhou Prefecture also gave this unit plenty of face.
"Sister, how is the young master?"
In the Horse Carriage on the way back, Jiang Xuan could finally lie down comfortably.
Zheng Yue Ru smiled sweetly and reached out to help him take off his shoes. Jiang Xuan was startled and repeatedly called out that it wouldn't do. Zheng Yue Ru rolled her eyes at him and said indifferently, "My little brother has grown up and can lead troops into battle; what's wrong with his sister taking off his shoes? Here in Liangzhou, we aren't that pretentious..."
Moved, Jiang Xuan dared not disobey further and smiled foolishly: "Sister, you are so good. In the future, I definitely won't let anyone bully you!"
Zheng Yue Ru was between laughter and tears.
Bully me?
In this world, who could bully me? Except for that young master of yours who doesn't even come back once a year, who else could bully me?
Forget it...
Zheng Yue Ru sighed in her heart.
Anyway, she had never thought about marrying in this life. In this world, how many people could afford to marry the richest woman in Longyan today? In this era, for a woman to marry is to serve her husband and raise children; whose husband, whose child, would be worth her bowing and scraping?
Hmm.
Except for the young master.
Jiang Xuan seemed to sense Zheng Yue Ru's mood and chuckled, "Sister, let's go to Jinghua together."
"What?"
Zheng Yue Ru was stunned.
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "With the Crown Prince's State Funeral this time, Jinghua will surely be a mix of dragons and fish. Since I have returned, I must take a few brothers to Jinghua to ensure the young master's safety."
Zheng Yue Ru looked at Jiang Xuan with a smile: "I think you just can't wait to let your Dark Night Legion put on a good show in Longyan."
With his intentions poked at by Zheng Yue Ru, Jiang Xuan just laughed it off, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Sister, Jinghua will definitely be lively this time. Those Youzhou Sudden Cavalry, Yanyun Thirteen Cavalry—I've heard that since our Dark Night was formed, there have been quite a lot of Special Forces units in Longyan imitating us. The so-called Jiangdong Iron Eagle
Army, the Southern Garrison of Jingchu, the Beiwu Army of Jizhou, the Xuanjia Army of Pingzhou! Hahahaha, not only do I want to take my brothers to meet them, I want to go to Jinghua even more to see who dares to make things difficult for my young master! If they do, we'll do just like we did in the Ottoman Empire and let our Dark Night turn his Jinghua upside down!"
Zheng Yue Ru smiled: "Then we can't go home for the time being."
"Ah?"
Jiang Xuan was stunned.
Zheng Yue Ru nodded, looking mysterious: "Your young master has prepared quite a few good things for you."
Jiang Xuan said in surprise: "What?"
The Horse Carriage had already returned to Yintan City under the escort of the crowd.
Hearing there was a surprise, Jiang Xuan was already impatient; anyway, he was an orphan, so it didn't matter whether he went home or not.
Grand and imposing.
The Horse Carriage headed toward Yintan City.
"Hahahaha, I knew it, this guy Jiang Xuan definitely couldn't wait!"
When the Horse Carriage arrived at Yintan City and saw the rushing Jiang Xuan, Qingyang Shuo could not help but laugh out loud.
Seeing that Jiang Xuan was already a Great General yet still so impatient, everyone also gave kind smiles.
Jiang Xuan rolled his eyes: "Sir, it is easy for you to talk while standing, but I am thinking of my brothers' lives. With one more piece of equipment, there is one more layer of protection!"
"Brother Jiang Xuan, over here!"
Hu Xi'er had also grown up, blossoming into a beauty of peerless elegance; in Yintan City, she had always held the status of a little Princess, and regardless of those traditional concepts, wherever she went, she would be pulling Mo Chen along.
Jiang Xuan teased them for a few sentences, then glared fiercely at Mo Chen: "Young man, if you dare to bully our Xi'er, you will have a hard time!"
Mo Chen looked miserable.
How would I dare?
In this entire Liangzhou, who doesn't know who is actually bullying whom?
"He wouldn't dare!"
Hu Xi'er looked even more smug.
Next, Mo Chen led Jiang Xuan and the others toward his Laboratory.
Jiang Xuan still felt a bit excited inside.
New equipment!
He knew that after being away for a year, there would definitely be good news upon his return! Sure enough, the Viscount still had their Dark Night Legion on his mind!
But this was also Liu Zheng's Square Formation for governing the army.
He had always believed that an army should be elite rather than numerous. The Dark Night Legion was exactly that, and the Liangzhou military downsizing was also for this reason. Nowadays, although the Liangzhou Army was smaller, those young people who had just enlisted were all being trained according to modern field army standards; although their combat effectiveness had yet to be proven, with the sophisticated Weaponry and Equipment of Yintan City, how could they be compared to an ordinary army?
The Yintan City of today had completely become a mature city of technology.
The vastness of Yintan City was something those who had never entered it could simply not imagine.
The Research Lab, the Factory, the logistics, the industrial parks—just looking at the planning of Yintan City, it was full of a sense of technology; the Asphalt Road, and the Track Carriage recently equipped for logistics from the workshops, and so on, seemed to make this place a city of the future that was clearly somewhat out of place with this world.
Ordinary people could not get in here.
Even if you held ten million taels of gold and wanted to come in to discuss business, there was no way.
Those working in Yintan City also had to pass strict political vetting; only people who could be trusted were allowed in, and they also had to sign confidentiality agreements.
In short.
In terms of confidentiality, Yintan City had always done a very thorough job.
Following Mo Chen for a distance, then turning a corner, this group finally arrived at a large workshop.
