Chapter 40 Protective Gear
In Wubao, it was extremely lively!
And the cattle and sheep at home naturally suffered again. Three cattle and twenty sheep were slaughtered and made into delicacies and presented to everyone.

Li Wenhou, Dong Zhuo, and Duan Yan, the three of them ate meat and drank wine, recalling how they galloped across the battlefield when they were young, and laughed wantonly when they talked about their enjoyment.

At that time, the Qiang rebellion was frequent, and they always surrendered and rebelled, and rebelled and surrendered again, which led to the never-ending war.

Now these heroes in Liangzhou have gradually begun to rise through the war with the Qiang people, so they also have a common language with each other.

For Li Wenhou, a righteous leader with a heavy army in his hand, Dong Zhuo originally intended to win over, and for Dong Zhuo, who was about to take office as the governor of Hedong, Li Wenhou also intended to make friends.

As for Duan Yan, Li Wenhou is an old friend, and Dong Zhuo is the new lord. Naturally, he hopes that the two sides will make friends, so he also actively promotes it.

It can be said that the host and guest enjoyed themselves!

At this time Li Yao was also beside him, but he did not speak hastily, but acted as a qualified listener.

When the three of them recalled the past and talked about the difficulty and tragedy of the war... until the final victory, Li Yao always brought that emotion into it, as if he felt that he was actually there, and then exclaimed in admiration.

Li Yao was highly praised for not stealing the limelight from his father, but also giving enough face to the other two fathers. Both Dong Zhuo and Duan Yan had a good impression of him.

During this process, Li Yao was also observing the rest of Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and he was deeply impressed by the presence of two of them.

A samurai, a scribe!
Just chatting a few words, they got all the details of the former, this warrior is Niu Fu, from Longxi Dahao, now Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he is tall and strong with strong arms, but he doesn't look very smart.

That scribe was Li Ru, and the rest of the information was unknown, and he was always on high alert. Although he was gentle and polite on the surface, he didn't really care about it, and he always said the opposite.

As expected of a ruthless person who dared to poison Liu Bian, this kind of vigilance is not ordinary people, no wonder he can become Dong Zhuo's mastermind.

This made Li Yao stay away from him for the time being!
At this moment, perhaps because Dong Zhuo was too drunk, he looked at Li Yao and said with a smile:

"My nephew is young and heroic, and he will surely accomplish a lot in the future. When he becomes an adult, why not let me recommend him as a man from a good family. If His Majesty values ​​nature and rises to the top, the servants in the palace are very easy to get along with. As long as you give them some benefits, they will say good things..."

When Li Wenhou heard this, of course he fully agreed:
"That's really thanks to Zhongying. If we encounter any troubles in the future, we father and son will definitely help each other. Shuzi, I can't thank Zhong's father!"

"Thank you, nephew, Father Zhong!" Li Yao said, although his face was full of excitement, but he didn't care in his heart.

Who wants to stand guard for Emperor Ling!

How many days can he be cool?

A person whose body is half buried in the soil is not worth Li Yao's time wasting at all.

Instead of being a cow and a horse for the emperor, and a grandson for the eunuch, it is better to stay in Liangzhou, and wait for this Zhongfu in front of him to come to Beijing to control the government, let alone the prefect, even if he is named the governor or the state shepherd, it may not be impossible.

As for now, Dong Zhuo's importance to Li Yao was exchanged for Li Wenhou's support, which was beneficial to both parties.

The atmosphere of the banquet also became more and more harmonious. It used to be bound by friendship, but now it is bound by interests. Moreover, they are fellow villagers from Liangzhou. They have gradually boarded the same boat.

Under such a premise, they drank until late at night, and the banquet was really over.

Dong Zhuo slept in Wubao, and his son-in-law Niu Fu was always guarding him. Although he was not very smart, he was loyal enough.

Because he was very drunk last night, Dong Zhuo slept until noon, and set off again after waking up.

East of Wubao!

Yesterday, they greeted Dong Zhuo here, and today, they bid farewell to Dong Zhuo here, but the relationship between the two parties has improved by leaps and bounds.

Until the team gradually went away, and even the back disappeared, Li Wenhou's face was stern, and he was no longer as enthusiastic as before, and then he said indifferently:
"A Yao, do you know why Dong Zhongying came here?"

Li Yao didn't hesitate when he heard the words, but blurted out softly:

"He wants to succeed the Taiwei, but his qualifications, status, and prestige are not enough, so he is eager to get our support."

Ok? !

When Li Wenhou heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he turned to look at Li Yao in great surprise. He came to the conclusion after thinking for a long time, but he didn't expect his son to blurt it out.

It's a good thing that my son is smart...

But the son is too smart, it will make his father look very stupid!
"Cough!" Li Wenhou immediately coughed to cover up his gaffe just now, and then continued to say calmly:
"That's right, now that Zhongming has followed him, maybe Dong Zhongying has some possibility to get the support of all the former Taiwei's departments. At that time, would you be willing to accept the recommendation and serve as a palace official as a son of a good family?"

When Li Yao heard this, he shook his head directly, but he didn't say too much:
"Father, without the protection of the Taiwei now, even if he is a Lang Guan, he may not be able to really make his mark. I am afraid that this Zhongfu is not enough for the time being..."

"But now I'm still young, and when I really become an adult, I'll decide whether to serve as a Lang Guan or go to the military camp to stay by Father's side and let the name of Yi Cong resound throughout the Hehuang Grassland!"

Hearing Li Yao's clear future plan, even though Li Wenhou wanted to teach him a lesson, he didn't know how to speak, and even felt quite relieved in his heart.

Then Li Wenhou also said:
"If you can keep Huangzhong Yicong in the future, then you can also keep this family business, and you don't have to go to such a dangerous place. Even the Taiwei didn't come back alive..."

At this moment, Li Yao turned his head to look at Li Wenhou, his father's face showed a trace of coldness.

Li Yao felt very unnatural, so he took the initiative to break the atmosphere:
"Father, please do something..."

Li Wenhou looked at Li Yao, and said vigilantly:
"What do you want this time?"

Li Yao felt his father's vigilance, and he was a little speechless. If he wanted a big eagle, why is this between father and son!
Then Li Yao said:

"Recently, my partner and I often go out for hunting. If we encounter ferocious beasts or enemies, we will be in danger, so we want to make protective gear!"

"Protective gear?" Li Wenhou frowned and pondered:
"What material? Leather, or iron, what style? Cloak, or armor."

Seeing that Father did not refuse, Li Yao was quite happy in his heart, and then he said more carefully:

"It's mainly made of leather. It's made of armor. It doesn't need tube sleeves or a basin collar. It's as close to the body as possible to protect the chest and back. You can also wear a cloak outside..."

In fact, what Li Yao said is similar to the bulletproof vests of the later generations. If the limbs are damaged, it will not endanger life. If the internal organs are damaged, there is basically no way to survive.

Light cavalry troops will not be easily used to charge the battle, so this bulletproof vest can greatly improve survivability.
