In the main hall of the courtyard, there was an exquisite wooden gadget on the table.
Luban Lock!
Moreover, the design was quite exquisite, and it had already reached sixteen pillars!
Lu Chen was familiar with the history of the Great Tang and knew very well that although the Luban Lock was not considered exquisite in the eyes of future generations, it was definitely a high-level mechanism technique in the current Great Tang!
Legend has it that it was created by Master Carpenter Lu Ban. A few wooden sticks and strips were made into a password lock.
Moreover, it was rumored that even Lu Ban himself had only made thirteen pillars. Later on, even the method of making the thirteen pillar Luban Lock had long been lost.
However, the Luban lock on the table in front of him was actually sixteen pillars!
"Chumo, where did you get this thing?”
Lu Chen raised his head and looked at Cheng Chumo. He was the one who ran in casually just now and called Lu Chen his brother. He said that his father, Cheng Chumo, asked him to report to the Internet Water Army.
Lu Chen was naturally aware of this matter. At the Black Tortoise Sect, Lu Chen had already promised many old marshals that he would bring their children with him.
Lu Chen naturally didn't dislike Cheng Chumo's arrival, nor did he think it was bad.
The generals were originally very united, and now Cheng Yaojin and the others were truly in high positions.
If he had any difficulties in the future, Cheng Yaojin would definitely help him without hesitation.
Moreover, according to what these old marshals said, it was not difficult for Lu Chen to bring their children with him and serve him tea.
However, after observing Cheng Chumo for a long time, Lu Chen could not believe that such an exquisite Luban lock was made by this fool in front of him.
Cheng Chumo was only 16 years old, but he was already fat and strong. His body was burly, and his beard was luxuriant.
Coupled with the bulging muscles on his arms and body, he looked like a boorish man who only had a body and no brain.
Cheng Chumo couldn't have made something as exquisite as Luban's.
Then, Lu Chen agreed.
"Since you were sent by Uncle Cheng, I will naturally keep you in the military camp. You will start as a small leader in the army and slowly hone your strength.”
"However, Chumo, you have to tell me where you got this thing!”
Looking at Chen Chumo now, he was a native of Guanzhong and had a forthright personality.
Seeing that Lu Chen had agreed, he immediately patted his chest with his big hand and said at the top of his voice.
"Hahaha, brother is so good to me. My father once told me that as long as I follow you, I will definitely be able to enjoy life in the future!”
"I know the rules of the military camp. You are the absolute commander. You are the one who speaks the truth. I will listen to whatever you say!”
"And brother, you said this wooden lump, what is his name, Luban Suo?”
Cheng Chumo hesitated for a moment. Obviously, he knew nothing about Luban Institute.
"I remember now. On my way here, an old farmer stuffed it into my hand and asked me to bring it to you, brother.”
"I thought that it was nothing much for such a wooden lump, so I brought it along.”
Lu Chen pondered upon hearing this.
He had been appointed a general at the age of ten, led an army, and displayed his might in front of Xuanwu Gate. His deeds must have spread throughout Chang 'an by now.
Those once declining noble families were now hidden in the streets and alleys, so they naturally knew about this news.
After paying attention to him and discovering that there seemed to be a new noble appearing, he naturally had the intention and thought of defecting.
As for which clan it was, Lu Chen had a rough idea.
Moreover, the other party did not show his face in public. He only took out a Luban lock to test the waters.
It meant that this clan had not made up their mind and was willing to follow them.
Lu Chen smiled knowingly." Isn't it just a Luban Lock? You dare to test me with a mere sixteen pillars?"”
"Since that's the case, I'll return you a 24-Pillar Luban Lock. Let's see how long you can hold on!”
Thinking of this, Lu Chen told Chen Chumo to wait for a while before he turned around and left.
Cheng Chumo was a boorish man, so he didn't think much about it.
……
Not long after, Lu Chen came out with a brand new Luban Lock. It was even more exquisite than the previous one!
"Go, place this at the entrance of the marshal's residence.”
Chen Chumo was stunned at first. He didn't quite understand.
However, he was Cheng Yaojin's son after all, so his mind was still quite flexible. He immediately reacted.
"Hahaha, brother, you're really a rare genius. There's already a clan that wants to join you so early!”
"Looks like my father was right. I will definitely be able to enjoy life if I follow you.”
After bowing deeply, Chen Chumo left the hall and went to place the 24-pillar Luban lock at the door.
Not long after Cheng Chumo left, the eunuch's voice came from the Marshal's Mansion.
"His Majesty has ordered that the general of the hussars, Lu Chen, enter the palace immediately!”
Lu Chen was stunned. He had just left this afternoon, and he was already in such a hurry to ask him to enter the palace overnight.
Something urgent must have happened. Could it be that the troll army received too much reward this time and was envied by everyone, so they jointly submitted a memorial again?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen was a little angry!
After all, this was about practical benefits. Lu Chen wanted to see who was the one who took the initiative to make things difficult!
Lu Chen did not even think about it and immediately set off to follow the eunuch to the palace.
……
In the Imperial Palace, Lu Chen felt much more relaxed after knowing that he was being sent to Jilei Mountain to kill the enemies.
" So it's just raiding the bandits and killing the enemies," he muttered to himself." I thought someone was jealous of the reward I received and made me run so fast. They were ready to make a scene…"
Lu Chen's soft muttering was heard clearly by everyone present.
When Li Eryi heard this, his face turned red.
He had originally thought that Lu Chen was a pillar of the Great Tang, a just and selfless Great General.
However, he never expected that he would be a ruffian and a scoundrel. He actually wanted to come over and make a scene…
Lu Chen's aura was even more tyrannical than Cheng Yaojin and the others who were once from the Green Forest.
At this moment, Lu Chen spoke up,"When can we send troops to accumulate mountains? The Tang Navy can't wait!"”
Lu Chen agreed, and Li Er and the others immediately revealed happy expressions.
Then, Li Er suddenly stood up and said in a clear voice.
"Lu Chen, listen up. I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of this expedition. You will lead 3,000 navy troops to Jilei Mountain in the Longyou Plains!”
"Your mission is to surround and not attack. You have to trap and delay this place for three months.”
"Food, armor, supplies, warhorses, and all other combat equipment will be arranged for you by the Bureau of Military Personnel. If the battle is not successful, I will hold you accountable!”
Although Li Er was famous for his good temper, he was still the ruler of a country and the emperor on horseback. Whenever he mentioned the important matter of leading troops into battle, his entire body would be filled with killing intent.
Lu Chen didn't hesitate and cupped his fists.
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, a servant walked over with a wooden tray.
There was only one thing on the exquisite millstone, the troll army's Tiger Commander Tally!
The Tiger Tally of Military Power of each army was divided into two halves.
Half of them were in the hands of their respective commanders all year round, and the other half was in the hands of Li Er.
If he wanted to gather an army, he had to have a complete Tiger Tally.
Now that Li Er had already given his half of the Tiger Tally to Lu Chen, it was equivalent to giving away the military power of the Tang Navy.
Lu Chen did not hesitate at all. He took the commander's seal and held it firmly in his hand.
This meant that he, Lu Chen, had accepted the mission to the Longyou Wasteland!
