followed Zhao Shenbao to the Chinese army's treasure tent in the camp, Zhao Shenhu also greeted him, Wu Yue was on business this time, so General Zhao Meng specially received them in the tent. His generals were also on both sides. In fact, Duanmu Shilang and others did not belong to Zhao Meng's subordinates, but they had an extremely close relationship with Zhao Meng, because Zhao Meng was pulled up by Duanmu Qi.

Therefore, Zhao Shenlong and others entered and exited Zhao Meng's camp very casually, and Zhao Meng was also very happy, the arrival of these people made him very happy, and it was very boring to stay in this Xiyuan City.

Wu Yue went inside and saluted, and then handed over a few truckloads of goods to General Zhao Meng, these are routine formulas, of course, he does not dare to slack off when he inspects the goods. General Zhao Meng was very polite to Wu Yue, and at the same time named Zhu Xiaobao to go in.

Zhu Xiaobao wore the clothes of the steward in the Nineteenth Princess's Mansion, he didn't need to go in on this occasion, but he didn't expect the other party's boss to see him by name, which made Zhu Xiaobao a little surprised. But now that Zhao Shenbao is by his side, Zhu Xiaobao also knows that it will not be a bad thing.

Sure enough, when General Zhao Meng saw Zhu Xiaobao, he was very enthusiastic, and at the same time took a drawing in his hand and asked with great interest: "You designed this?" I can't imagine that at such a young age, I can have such knowledge? Not bad, not bad! ”

Zhu Xiaobao only later realized that the improved strong crossbow he had designed on the road was actually given to Zhao Meng by Zhao Shenlong, no wonder Zhao Meng would ask to see him!

"Hmmm! General, this is my design, but Brother Zhao Shenlong said that this design still has many flaws and is not practical! Zhu Xiaobao bent down, and then said, this is not modesty, but a fact. However, Zhu Xiaobao has a good impression of this General Zhao Meng, because although he looks rude and has the same name as him, he is very bold and has no arrogance towards Zhu Xiaobao, you must know that his identity can be so polite to the family of a princess's mansion. That's rare!

"Yes, there are a lot of things that are unreasonable, but I have changed it again, do you want to take a look?" Zhao Meng didn't mean to keep it secret, originally, this thing was designed by Zhu Xiaobao, what kind of secret! Besides, he meant to let Zhu Xiaobao take a look, what other suggestions could he have?

"Good! I was looking to see this powerful crossbow, but I honestly haven't seen it yet! Zhu Xiaobao was overjoyed and exclaimed very excitedly.

"General Zhao. I'm afraid that's not appropriate, right? Wu Yue was a little hesitant, after all, a lot of military equipment was kept secret, and she didn't want outsiders to see it, although the relationship between the seventh princess and the nineteenth princess was very good now.

"It doesn't matter! It's all commonly used instruments, it's not that serious! But you can also refer to it, after all, if you want to gain a foothold in Xiyuan City, many of your equipment are far from enough! I can't help you stay in Xiyuan City all the time! Zhao Meng waved his hand and said, he was still quite satisfied with Wu Yue in his heart, and he knew how to measure it.

"Thank you, General!" Wu Yue was also very excited, Zhao Meng's troops had experienced countless battles, and they could be regarded as a generation of famous generals, and it was a very good learning opportunity to visit his barracks.

Wu Yue and Zhu Xiaobao visited the site with Zhao Meng, and Zhao Meng also deliberately launched twenty improved strong crossbows and shot three rounds, one of which was still shot by Wu Yue himself!

Zhu Xiaobao looked at it, in fact, Zhao Meng did not improve much, the biggest change is to change the original four wheels into Zhu Xiaobao's two wheels, the two wheels have increased a lot, which makes the speed of movement a lot happier, because when fighting, there are few flat fields, and the four wheels are not as convenient as the two wheels, and because the weight is reduced, of course it is faster to run! Don't look at such an improvement, but what you grab on the battlefield is time, so Zhao Meng is very happy about this improvement!

Zhu Xiaobao took a closer look at the power of this powerful crossbow, which could almost shoot to a distance of more than two hundred and fifty steps. The lethality within its range is terrifying. However, the accuracy is indeed poor, and it is only suitable for shooting at large groups of enemy troops.

As for those cold weapons, Zhu Xiaobao was not interested, and the most famous catapult was not seen here, because it was too cumbersome, and Zhao Meng was guarding here, and it was not a siege, so it was not built. This kind of bulky equipment is generally not transported over long distances, but is processed and manufactured nearby, and all kinds of craftsmen in the army have it.

After Wu Yue finished visiting, he felt shocked from his heart, this is the real army that can attack the city and seize the village, much stronger than the army of the nineteenth princess, the weapons in the armory alone are stacked with several tents, and there are millions of arrows. There are actually a thousand of that kind of strong crossbows, that is to say, there are 2,000 people under Zhao Meng's subordinates who are specifically responsible for long-range attacks. His total number of men was only 10,000.

But Zhao Meng's equipment is definitely not something that the Nineteenth Princess can equip in the short term! In comparison, the strength of the Nineteen Princesses is too weak! After Wu Yue's visit, he was a little anxious in his heart, his people urgently needed to increase all kinds of equipment and long-range attack equipment! But it takes money, and it's a huge investment!

After the visit, Zhao Meng did not accompany them anymore, but asked Zhao Shenhu and others to accompany Zhu Xiaobao, for Zhao Meng, he was already very enthusiastic just now.

Originally, Zhao Shenbao still wanted to invite Wu Yue and them to dinner, but Wu Yue politely refused, and she had to go back to pay the errand.

But Zhao Shenbao wanted to leave Zhu Xiaobao to stay in the camp for one more day, and Zhu Xiaobao was very happy and agreed. Wu Yue hesitated for a while before reluctantly agreeing. Before leaving, he asked in a low voice, "You stay here, should I report to the princess?" ”

"Debriefing? Whatever! It's not something to be seen for, I'm just playing for two days! "Zhu Xiaobao was a little surprised, this also has to be reported? Do you still have a little freedom?

"Oh! Then I won't talk about it, you come back early! Wu Yue hesitated for a moment before whispering, she always felt that she should report to the princess in time, but she knew that what Zhu Xiaobao hated most was to report everything. So Wu Yue hesitated and took people away! Only Zhu Xiaobao and Ying Xiuxiu and others were left.

When Wu Yue left, Zhu Xiaobao asked, "Three, what about the eldest brother?" Why didn't you see him? ”

"En, the boss has something to do, it's inconvenient, he should come back at night!" Zhao Shenbao said a little vaguely.

"Well, let's drink and eat barbecue together in the evening, you think I'm ready before! Twenty pounds, enough for us to eat! Zhu Xiaobao didn't care, maybe there was some special task that was inconvenient to say, but Zhu Xiaobao was fully prepared, and Ying Xiuxiu and the others immediately packed several large bags, which were full of prepared ingredients.

……

Wu Yue returned to the nineteenth princess, and after explaining, she talked about her visit to Zhao Meng's camp, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "Princess, compared with General Zhao Meng, we are really too far behind, don't you see, just the kind of strong crossbow operated by two people, there are a thousand in his arsenal." Let's hurry up and equip these equipment! ”

"Alas! Yes, but now I don't have any money, besides, I can't take care of it now, I just took over Xiyuan City, many things are very chaotic, and I'm about to die of worry! I can't imagine that managing a Xiyuan City is so annoying! The nineteenth princess said a little tiredly.

These days, the nineteenth princess is not even in the mood to talk about love, and her heart is full of these messy things. In fact, this is still the result of Xia Zixiu's sharing, otherwise she would be even more tired.

The nineteenth princess really felt that her strength was really weak, and she had no foundation here, and it was almost impossible to gain a firm foothold without three years. The most urgent thing now is not to increase the armament and equipment of the army, but to solve the food problem.

Due to the shortage of food, many merchants began to raise prices, or were reluctant to sell, and after two or three months, the stock of grain will be completely gone! At that time, their own troops will have to spend money to buy food, which is another huge burden.

Now the nineteenth princess can count on the most is to open her business as soon as possible with her thirty percent of the amount of soap and tea, hoping to make some money immediately to save the emergency! Even the nineteenth princess wanted to borrow the money in the hands of Zhu Xiaobao and Ji Zhihan first. Just haven't opened your mouth yet! Until the last resort, the nineteenth princess will not open this mouth!

And in Zhao Meng's camp, Zhu Xiaobao didn't know what the nineteenth princess thought, he was drinking happily, and Boss Zhao didn't know where it came from, a few people found a very secluded place, barbecue and cold dishes, and the good wine of the seventh princess, which made Zhao Shenlong and the others dumbfounded, although they knew that Zhu Xiaobao would tinker with these things, but he didn't expect him to prepare so richly, and what was even more surprising was that the three female guards around him turned out to be his entourage!

"Do you still have your own guard? Have you done all three? Zhao Shenbao asked in surprise. I didn't expect to be clamoring to go to the Qinglou last time, but now I've done it myself? In his opinion, since he bought it, he must have been laid!

"Huh! Don't talk nonsense, I'm very innocent! And Wu Yue is too tight, there is no chance! Zhu Xiaobao said a little embarrassed.

"Huh? Haha, haha, I can't imagine that Wu Yue really has two hits, and he can actually make you obedient! Zhao Laosan suddenly laughed happily, when Zhu Xiaobao was grabbed by Wu Yue by the neck from the door of the Qinglou, he has always remembered it vividly! It's so joyful!

"Zhao Laosan, I have given you a gift, are you still burying me here? Boss, get him away, I don't want to see him! Zhu Xiaobao shouted angrily. After he came, he gave Duanmu Eleven two bars of soap and two knives of toilet paper to each of them. Anyway, this thing is worthless, and it is very popular, so he has always used it as a favor. But in the eyes of others, these things are rare and good, worth a few taels of gold! And it's priceless!

Boss Zhao also thought it was funny, and wanted to comfort Zhu Xiaobao gathering, but he didn't expect to suddenly see a person walking in the distance, and Boss Zhao's face suddenly changed......
