Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 186, Hosting Long Zhan

After discussing with his father, Wang Li no longer cared about the things he brought back and handed them all over to his father.

He took Long Zhan and his wife on bicycles and rode towards their first planned destination, the Forbidden City in Kyoto.

The reason for choosing the Kyoto Imperial Palace as the first tourist destination is that the Long Zhan family was once the master of the palace here.

Long Zhan wanted to reminisce the glory of his ancestors. Another reason was that Wang Li's home was very close to the Forbidden City, making it convenient for them to come back for dinner in the evening.

My father has already notified Zhao Qiang and several other members of his family to come over for dinner tonight.

It was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon when Wang Li took Long Zhan and his wife back home after visiting the Forbidden City in Kyoto.

Zhang Fang's family had all arrived, and the food was on the table, waiting for the three of them to come back.

After Wang Li introduced them, he pulled the two people from the Long family to sit at the table and start eating.

At the table, Long Zhan first toasted Zhao Qiang with a glass of wine, mainly to thank him for everything he had done for Longjia Village. After all, Longjia Village could have been relocated so smoothly from the mountains without Zhao Qiang's help.

Through this banquet, Long Zhan was able to initially integrate into Wang Li's circle of friends. Long Zhan's wife Mona, as a descendant of Mongolian aristocracy, had strong communication skills and got along very well with the young and old women from several families.

Of course, the hostess Zheng Lan’s help is indispensable.

Everyone enjoyed the banquet very much. During the banquet, they all listened to Wang Li's experience of going to the north. Of course, Wang Li did not tell the story about the giant snake at the table.

It is worth mentioning that several families had come at this time, except Li Ren’s father Li Hu, who had been transferred to serve as governor.

Zhang Fang also did not attend this party. The reason was that not long after Wang Li left Kyoto, his special reconnaissance battalion was transferred to the border of India. I believe that those who know history know the main reason, which was the self-defense counterattack against India.

In 62, the decision was made to launch a self-defense counterattack against the Indian Army.

Zhang Fang has been in the reconnaissance battalion as the battalion commander for some time. It stands to reason that he will be promoted in the near future. However, due to the needs of the Longguo war and to test the combat effectiveness of the special reconnaissance battalion, they were transferred to the Asan border and may need to perform various tasks.

According to private communication between Wang Li and Zhang Lei, it is said that the position that Yang Tian is about to take up is likely to be Zhang Fang's future immediate superior.

Both of them are talents in the country who have a relatively good understanding of special operations.

The reason why Yang Tian’s special reconnaissance battalion was not transferred here was out of consideration for the defense in the north.

Although Zhang Fang's family was also very worried about his safety at this time, the Zhang family was originally a military family, and it was their responsibility to defend the country.

Besides, Zhang Fang has been training martial arts with Wang Li over the years, and his strength has become very strong. I believe he should have no problem protecting himself.

After Wang Li learned about this, he was also a little worried about Zhang Fang. After all, guns and cannons are blind on the battlefield, and no one knows if there will be any accidents.

Therefore, Wang Li took the initiative to propose that he had hunted a giant snake in the north this time. The snake had a strong defense and could not be penetrated by bullets. He would make a vest and let Zhang Lei use his connections to send it to Zhang Fang, so as to increase his safety factor on the battlefield.

Of course, this action of his earned Zhang Lei's gratitude. Even though they were from a military family, they couldn't help but worry about their son on the battlefield and hoped that their son could be safer.

On the night after the banquet, Wang Li did not rush to rest, but found his mother and Zheng Lan. With their help, Wang Li used a giant bronze sword to cut snake skin that night, and his mother and Zheng Lan helped him sew the waistcoat.

Wang Li did not intend to favor one over the other. He decided to make such a waistcoat for several of his apprentices, including his own relatives.

After all, this snake skin not only has amazing defensive capabilities, but is also very breathable and cool when worn on the body and does not affect movement. According to Wang Li's analysis, this thing should also have a certain insect repellent effect.

Although the giant snake is dead, the scent of the giant snake still remains on the leather armor, and the deterrent effect on small animals and insects still exists.

The reason why Wang Li did it overnight was also for Zhang Fang's safety. After all, the sooner he put on the snakeskin vest, the sooner he would be protected, and the sooner Zhang Fang's family would be relieved.
