A month later, a horse-drawn carriage hurriedly walked between the vast mountains, November was late autumn, and it was not yet time for snow in the southern regions, only the cold wind blew off the leaves, and the bare old trees stained the gloom of the mountains.

The soldiers stationed in the camp were still training against the cold wind, and the atmosphere exhaled was full of thick mist, and the carriage stopped outside the camp, and the soldiers guarding the camp stepped forward to interrogate and hurried towards the deepest part of the camp.

After a while, the soldier came back and said: "You are lucky, the adults just returned to the camp from patrol, in the autumn, it is the time when Nanyi is a small offender, and the adults have been stationed in the camp recently, you didn't go to Tengzhou's Jiedu to visit the adult's house, that's right, otherwise, you must be in the air..."

The soldier who passed the word was very talkative, and perhaps the reason why he had just received the man's money in the carriage was that he always wanted to say more to be worthy of the money he paid.

The young man in an elegant robe arched his hand, took advantage of the situation and stuffed a large amount of silver over, and said softly: "There is General Lao, please take the general along the way..."

Seeing this person's generous move, the smile on his face became more intense, and while walking towards the camp, he said he: "I'm just a small soldier, but I can't let the general scream, if others hear it, I have to make a joke, let me lead the way, you are right, the barracks tent here is not allowed to break in, if you are caught, it will be regarded as Luo Yi's fine work, then you will be beheaded..."

In line with the concept of serving after receiving the money, the soldier vigorously talked to the man next to him about some clueless things, and walked through several large drill grounds, quickly. Then he came to the camp of the chief general.

The soldier stood outside and made a noise, waiting for the word to be passed inside. The man who followed him walked straight in.

In the camp of the main general stood a tall, mighty, rough-looking general. Seeing Wang Yi come in, he glanced up, snorted coldly and said: "Half a year ago, we had a relationship in Qiao's Mansion in Ningzhou, I never thought that I wouldn't see each other for half a year, Wang Gongzi has changed his court, and his style is more prosperous, how can I say that we are also old friends, Wang Gongzi went to Xichuan first, and then came to my southern region." Isn't it where I Zhang Meng offended Wang Gongzi in the past? ”

This person is Zhang Meng, the envoy of the Southern Regions, don't look at his rough face, but he is as careful as a hair, and his words in front of him are full of twists and turns, which can be described as rich in content.

said that Wang Yi changed his court, naturally it meant that he betrayed Situ Xin and took refuge in Qiao Yue, and his words were full of ridicule and contempt.

Wang Yi went south this time, but he went to Xichuan first. Coming to the Southern Regions again, this is Zhang Meng's second dissatisfaction, for no other reason, first to Xichuan and then to the Southern Regions. Naturally, it is said that his status in Qiao Yue's heart is not as good as that of Xichuan Jiedu.

Wang Yi smiled, he had been a low-handed steward for a few years, which was a person. Wang Yi naturally has long practiced the ability to dance with long sleeves, and he is dissatisfied with Zhang Meng. He smiled gently: "Master Zhang, don't be impatient, good things are all pressed to the bottom." My sister said, the adult and he are old friends, how can I be disadvantaged by my Wang Yi's visit this time. ”

"Oh!"

Zhang Meng was upright, hearing Wang Yi say this, the dissatisfaction on his face was suddenly swept away, and then he was replaced with a smile on his face.

Don't look at Wang Yi's simple words, just because he called Qiao Yue his sister, he had to let Zhang Meng treat him with a straight face, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, but it depends more on the relationship between the dog and the owner.

Obviously, the relationship between Wang Yi and Qiao Yue is very unusual, so Zhang Meng can't be too lazy.

Wang Yi smiled and took out a drawing with a lot of symbols from his arms and handed it over: "Lord Zhang, you still need to be hard to strike iron, your Zhang family has been guarding the Southern Regions for decades, Luo Yixiao has been committing crimes every year, and Lord Zhang's soldiers have been killed and injured countless times, my sister remembered that she was taken care of by Lord Zhang when she was in Ningzhou half a year ago, and I hereby present this drawing of the Cloud Breaking Bow..."

Zhang Meng couldn't understand the complex mechanisms and drawing symbols, but he could still recognize the annotations under the drawings that Wang Yi handed him, but after a casual glance, Zhang Meng's mind was already attracted by the drawings in his hand, even if Wang Yi was still talking, he didn't hear it at all.

I don't know how long Wang Yi has been talking, anyway, Zhang Meng looked at the drawings in his hand and couldn't extricate himself at all, even the sound of wheezing became louder, and the whole person trembled with excitement.

If this drawing is true, this cloud-breaking bow can break armor and hurt people in 300 steps, the most important thing is that this bow does not need a strong crossbowman at all, ordinary soldiers can shoot arrows with a bow, if the 200,000 Southern Regions army is fully equipped, the Southern Regions army will no longer be subject to the terrain.

Three hundred steps to break armor and hurt people, such a powerful weapon, as far as he knows, in the entire Dashun Dynasty, except for Feng Chun's army, which has two hundred steps to break armor and pierce iron, other armies do not have such powerful weapons, with this cloud-breaking bow, why should he Zhang Meng worry about big things.

The Southern Regions Army is already good at shooting, and if it is equipped with an artifact like the Cloud Breaking Bow, it will simply be like a tiger with wings.

Zhang Meng raised his head, his eyes had turned red because of excitement, and he said, "Is this picture real?" ”

Wang Yi smiled warmly and said, "Is Lord Zhang suspicious of my sister?" ”

Zhang Meng is a smart person, Qiao Yue can burn the Black Cliff Mountain, and can kill Liu Wencheng with heavenly thunder, this time she sent someone to offer the Cloud Breaking Bow Diagram, naturally there is no reason to tease him.

Although he was still excited in his heart, Zhang Meng still suppressed his excitement, came back to his senses, and said: "Qiao Niangzi gave me Zhang Meng's artifact, which is no less than sending me Zhang Meng's million male masters, I don't know if Qiao Niangzi needs my Zhang Meng's help?" ”

Wang Yi still smiled and said: "My sister confessed, this picture was given to Lord Zhang, and it was regarded as repaying Lord Zhang's kindness for taking care of him half a year ago, and he didn't think about getting anything from Lord Zhang, and Lord Zhang was too worried." ”

Zhang Meng was puzzled: "Such a divine object, Mrs. Qiao gave it to me for nothing?" ”

Wang Yi said: "Yes, give it away for nothing." Half a year ago, when I was in Qizhou, my sister saw that Lord Zhang was constrained left and right, although there were 200,000 male soldiers, but due to geographical reasons, as long as the soldiers from the southern region went out of the southern region, the horses were not as big as the northern army, and the sword was not as good as the eastern army, and the combat effectiveness was greatly weakened.

Although Guan Cangzi is a member of the Qimen, he naturally has countless weapons and mechanisms in his hands, but he also has a heart for selfishness. Lord Zhang formed an alliance with him, and he was never able to show his ambition to the fullest. Now, my sister has helped Lord Zhang to calm down Luoyi. There is no more offense in the south, and Lord Zhang can supervise the army with peace of mind, as for what Lord Zhang wants to do, that is Lord Zhang's business..."

"Ahh

Wang Yi's words, Zhang Meng's sweat gurgled when he heard this, and before Wang Yi finished speaking, his body wrapped in armor was all soaked with sweat in an instant.

It wasn't because of the heat, but because I was frightened by Wang Yi's words. Wang Yi said this, that is, Qiao Yue was fully aware of what happened back then, that is, Qiao Yue had already understood that he had the intention of rebelling half a year ago.

Thinking of this, and thinking about the things in Nanhu that day, Zhang Meng suddenly felt that the drawing in his hand began to be hot.

I didn't want anything, just send out such a divine thing, stumped, stumped that Mrs. Qiao was going to do something to me. reported that he and Guan Cangzi calculated her old hatred in Nanhu that day?

"Haha..."Wang Yi had already seen Zhang Meng's thoughts, and said, "Lord Zhang doesn't need to worry, what a god my sister is. The divine thunder in the sky can be borrowed, and the cloud breaking bow can be counted as nothing. ”

Yes, Wang Yi is also a pun. used the incident of the thunder to kill Liu Wencheng to warn Zhang Meng if Qiao Yue wanted revenge. You Zhang Meng has long since died, on the other hand. That is to say, like the Cloud Breaking Bow, the artifact that Zhang Meng thinks is not worth mentioning at all in Qiao Yue's place.

Zhang Meng is not an ordinary person after all, the meaning of Wang Yi's words, in a blink of an eye, he has already thought about it in his heart, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he remembered that Wang Yi said before that Qiao Yue had helped him calm Luo Yi.

He was still muttering before, this year has already entered the late autumn, why don't you see Luo Yi offending, it's really abnormal.

He asked again suspiciously, "Qiao Niangzi has already leveled Luo Yi?" ”

It's not that Zhang Meng doesn't believe it, it's that he hasn't heard of any major movements in the south at all, how can Luo Yi not come to the border again without a sound.

Wang Yi smiled, looked very busy, and said: "I don't need to explain this, Lord Zhang will take a look at whether there are still Luo Yi criminals this year, isn't it clear?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Meng to speak, Wang Yi then arched his hand: "Since the things have been sent to Lord Zhang, then Xiaosheng will leave, don't hide it from Lord Zhang, in addition to you, I still have a stop in the Southern Regions, the time is not early, and when the things are delivered, Xiaosheng has to go home for a reunion year!" ”

"Ahh ”

The main reason is that he hasn't figured out what Qiao Yue's intention is to send him this Cloud Breaking Bow, of course, he also wants to ask what kind of weapon Xichuan is sending.

Wang Yi walked a few steps outside the tent, turned around and said, "Don't worry about Lord Zhang, my sister said, this is what was given to Lord Zhang for nothing, if Lord Zhang feels bad, you can also use it." ”

After speaking, regardless of Zhang Meng's retention, Wang Yi left the camp, and the coachman who drove the carriage greeted him into the car, and walked in a hurry in the vast mountains against the cold wind.

…

…

To the west of the capital, it is located in the martial arts field behind the merchants by the Xiyan River, and it has been a month since Qiao Yue and Shang Ping formed an alliance.

A whooshing sound tearing the air came from the back mountain, and five hundred steps away, a big fat pig wearing iron armor suddenly howled at the top of his throat, and the sharp arrow was indeed an armor-piercing pig five hundred steps away.

Shang Ping looked at the big iron bow in his hand as if he had received a treasure, although he knew that it would have such an effect before, but he was still shocked when he actually saw such a power.

Shang Xu next to him stroked his white beard, nodded and said: "Qiao Niangzi is really worthy of Feng Chun's daughter, what comes out of her hands is really extraordinary, installing a hard spring mechanism on such a hard black iron bow not only reduces the force required to pull the bow, a seemingly ordinary iron bow, the power is so great, it is really eye-opening and incredible." ”

Shang Ping couldn't put it down and looked at the iron bow in his hand, and said excitedly: "Dad, with such a powerful weapon, don't say too much, as long as we equip a few thousand people to break the cloud bow team, what can he Liu Wude do even if he has the firearms left by Feng Chun, that thing is loaded with one shot, and the power is not as big as ours, the effective range is only two hundred steps, even if it is a hard hit, we merchants are not afraid of him." ”

Shang Xu nodded, and said with a lack of heart: "It's a pity, Qiao Yue still hasn't given us such a powerful artifact as Shenwu Tianlei, if we have that thing, what are the five cities of the Northern Plains, this world is so big, what can he Liu Wude do." ”

Shang Ping also said regretfully: "Mrs. Qiao said, the drawings she gave us to break the cloud bow are just the first step for us to form an alliance, and we have to look at our table later, it's all heartwarming to say, what kind of person do you say this Feng Chun is?" His daughters are all so magical, if he has seven or eight more sons and daughters, in this world, it is not him Feng Chun who has the final say. ”

"Hmph..."Shang Xu snorted coldly, "There is a fixed number, if Feng Chun really every son and daughter can inherit his divine skills, it will be too hurtful, not to mention that Liu Wude does not allow it, even God does not allow it, you look at what these things are, all of them are weapons of killing, as soon as this cloud-breaking bow comes out, in the future war, I don't know how many people will die under this cloud-breaking bow." ”

As soon as Shang Xu finished speaking, he continued: "Starting tomorrow, you will gather all the craftsmen to produce the Cloud Breaking Bow in large quantities, and you must equip at least 10,000 pieces before Liu Wude attacks our merchants." ”

Shang Ping pondered for a while, and his face was embarrassed: "Dad, it's true that this cloud-breaking bow is a good thing, but the cost of each bow is too high, just this bow in our hands, plus materials, plus labor costs, one is nearly eighty taels of silver, and it is all hand-polished, so it can't be produced too fast at all."

That is, this material used as a spring, it has to go through several times of quenching and refining, before it can barely be used, the housekeeper Xie in our house said, just this bow in my hand, the spring of the production can only put ten arrows at most, the further back, the spring will be compressed, there is no elasticity, the arrow shot out has no power, there is no such great lethality at all.

Eighty taels, just put ten arrows, this thing is too expensive. ”

"yes!" Shang Xu sighed, "In this way, with the power of our Shang Mansion, we can only produce a maximum of 10,000 bows, and the most important thing is that these 10,000 bows can only hold 100,000 arrows..."

…

Speaking of this question, the scene calmed down for a while, from the excitement of getting the cloud-breaking bow just now, to the helplessness now, it is really a chicken rib, it is a pity to abandon it tastelessly!

At this time, the housekeeper of the Shang Mansion came over to report: "Master, there is news from the palace. ”

Shang Xu was in a bad mood and said coldly: "Let's say, there are no outsiders here." ”

The housekeeper said: "The queen sent someone to pass the word, saying that it was Mrs. Qiao in the palace who sent someone to send the cloud-breaking bow drawings to us at the same time to Xichuan, Nanyu, and Dongyuan..."

"What?" Shang Xu was shocked, "What is she going to do here?" (To be continued......)
