There was silence in the Tessie camp, except for the sound of Joseph's heavy breathing, echoing in the tent.

"How powerful is the crossbow?"

General Tessie's Army, General Schlote asked calmly, and there was an irrepressible tremor in his tone.

The strong crossbow is a weapon of national war, but it is also a killing weapon.

As far as he knew, there were six kinds of strong crossbows developed by the Taixi Academy of Sciences, the weakest one was the one that destroyed the Jiameng Pass with one blow, and the most powerful one was the newly improved and successful type 6 of the strong crossbow.

With a single blow, you can destroy everything within a radius of thirteen miles, and not an inch of land remains.

The herald looked up, his voice hoarse:

"According to the spies, the strong crossbow is powerful, centered on the camp where the patriarch of the small wheel Gongpot is located, and all the camp tents have been swept away within five miles of the surrounding area."

Joseph didn't know how he got out of the general's tent.

Walking one foot deep and one foot shallow in the camp, Joseph felt that there was no light in front of him.

There seemed to be mocking eyes all around, mocking himself for being ashamed of his words, contacting the barbarians, and wanting to destroy the Xiaolun Gongpot and purge the Han State in one fell swoop It was wishful thinking.

When he returned to his tent, Joseph collapsed, pale, and walked about in his tent restlessly.

It's all my own fault, once the scar is healed, I forget the pain of the past.

When the strong crossbow came to him, how did he swear in his heart, and now even if he is surrounded by a heavy army, can he treat the Han army as nothing.

Thinking of this, Joseph was even more frightened.

"My lord, someone is asking to see you."

The voice of the guards sounded at the door.

Joseph wiped his face with his sleeve, suppressed the tremor in his chest, and said:

"Please come in."

Moments later, the curtain was lifted, and a man in a felt hat slipped into the tent.

"General Pingqi!"

Joseph looked at the man in front of him, almost speechless in shock.

Who is Pingqi, the governor of the south of the Han Kingdom, the governor of the commander-in-chief, the governor of the intelligence espionage affairs, the king of the dark night of the Han Kingdom, and the most loyal and ferocious minions of the Prince of Anguo.

He came to see him, and the Han army had already spied on his betrayal.

Thinking of this, Joseph oozed beads of sweat on his forehead, and felt that although he was in the camp, his own safety was completely under the control of others.

Pingqi patted Joseph on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Joseph, my friend of the Han Kingdom, sit."

"Can I still call you a friend of my Han Kingdom?"

Pingqi sneered and looked at Joseph, his face full of mocking smiles.

When he received the news from the prince, he was reading the information of the western land, and Joseph colluded with the barbarians everywhere in a vain attempt to integrate the divided barbarian tribes and destroy the Xiaolun Gongpot that was backed by the Han State.

The Ordnance Office selected the barbarian clan land as the test center for the new type of strong crossbow, and prepared to use the strong crossbow to bombard and kill all the barbarian elders, including the barbarian patriarch, and completely uproot the largest barbarian force full of evil.

Jia Mengguan's deputy general, Wang Fang, was corrupt and perverted the law, and the seizures were not handed over, and they were distributed to the generals under his command.

Captain Qingfeng of the Flying Bird Division of the Ordnance Mansion sneered at General Wang, and had the tendency to bully the master.

Pingqi suddenly thought of a way to completely subdue Joseph, although the Ordnance Mansion chose to defeat the barbarian tribe was only unintentional, but it just created a good opportunity for himself, and took the wooden wheel car on the stone track line for several days, and finally rushed to the Taixi camp at the right time.

Sitting down in the tent, he looked at Joseph with a pleasant face:

"Sit, Joseph, we're old friends, I've had a lot of help from you before, and I've never had a chance to thank you, but this time I brought a strong crossbow while you were making trouble."

"First, let's test shoot the new strong crossbow of my Han Kingdom and see how powerful it is."

"Besides, it's to remind you Joseph, since you are the internal response of my Han Kingdom, don't think about any more moths, otherwise don't blame my Han Kingdom for not talking about the old feelings."

"Plop"

Joseph fell to his knees.

Ever since he passed by the crossbow that day, Joseph was extremely afraid of death, otherwise he would not have been coerced by the Han army to pass on information to Dingxiangwei.

Now hearing Pingqi's words, and sitting down on those thoughts, Joseph immediately broke down, snot and tears.

"My lord spares my life, I don't mean to betray."

"My lord will spare me this time, I will be absolutely loyal in the future, and I will serve the prince and my lord, and I will never have two hearts."

Pingqi reprimanded Joseph a few times, and then helped him up, and said with a pleasant face:

"This time it didn't have much impact on my Han Kingdom, so I have revealed it, if you really let you destroy the small wheel of Gongbu, this is a barbarian tribe that is of great use to my Han Kingdom, see how I clean you up."

Joseph hurriedly waved his hand:

"Don't worry, my lord, there will never be such a thing again."

"By the way, my lord, I have a message here, I wonder if you have received it?"

Joseph said suddenly, his face flattering.

Pingqi's face turned cold, and he reprimanded Joseph and said:

"Don't think that this is over, I tell you the truth, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable."

"From today onwards, you are limited to one year, cooperate with me to set the guard, develop a few Taixi officials, and become my Han domestic response."

Joseph's face immediately became bitter when he heard this, if this is the case, it is really a bit difficult to do.

Pingqi continued:

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, I will cooperate with you, and choose the most suitable person at the most appropriate time."

Joseph put his mind at ease and said flatteringly:

"My lord has no last resort, and the general is naturally relieved, but the news I know is extremely important."

Pingqi was slightly puzzled, Joseph said that it was very important news, could it be that the Tessie people were going to make some kind of moths.

"Tell me about it."

Joseph lowered his voice and said:

"I still secretly look at this matter, General Schlote recently received a letter from the Minister of War, mentioning that the Mali have settled the domestic dispute and are about to move eastward, and their first goal is to get a piece of the special gold here."

Hearing this, Ping Qi's face straightened, he stood up, walked a few steps in the tent, and asked:

"How is the strength of this Mari compared to your Tessie?"

"Only strong, not weak."

Joseph pondered and said, with some doubt in his tone:

"I don't know why it's only strong or not weak, but General Schlote said that the Mali themselves attach importance to research, and the birds, warships, ballistas, and strong crossbows are all quite researched, and I, Tessie, am not the opponent of the Inters at sea, nor is it the opponent of the Mali people."

"On land, I, Taixi, am not the opponent of your country, but I don't take the Inters in my eyes yet, but the army of the Mali people can completely suppress my Taixi army."

Pingqi's face became more and more solemn when he heard this, and he commanded:

"Okay, this news is very important, I'll go back and tell the prince this news."

As he spoke, Pingqi put down a money bag and turned around to walk outside the tent.

Joseph took the money bag in his hand, a smile flew on his face, and suddenly he spoke:

"Governor, I have another piece of news, also about the Mali people."

"The Mali people got my Taixi's national letter from somewhere, and they know that this special gold is produced in the western border of your country, and for these special gold, the Mali people want to meddle in the battlefield between your country and the Tang Kingdom."

"If it's possible, please also ask the commander to speak to the prince and end the war in the Tang Kingdom as soon as possible."

"If you give the Mali people this excuse to insert it, it will not be good for your country."
