Behind the camp was an open field, which was heavily defended at ten paces and five paces, giving it a slight mystery, but when you turned your eyes to the towering ladders that pointed to the sky, such a tight guard was not so incomprehensible.

Kelie was so excited that he stroked these things over and over again that he had thought about many times in his dreams, just like a child seeing the toy of his dreams, and he was extremely excited.

The craftsmen of the Yan Kingdom on the side, of course, have now taken refuge in Humeng, they should be regarded as Humeng's craftsmen, introducing the structure and internal key of the siege ladder in every detail, and nodding their heads when they hear it, admiring the subtlety of its construction, no wonder Hu Meng once made things so bad according to the appearance of the Yan Army ladder, it turned out to be really in vain.

"Whatever reward you want, just ask, as long as I Humeng can give you, Ben Khan will not be stingy!" Kelie looked at the Yanguo craftsman in front of him with great satisfaction, he was originally a person who loves talents, and now when he meets such a skilled craftsman, how can he not try his best to win him over.

When the craftsman heard this, he seemed to be temporarily cut off by the sudden happiness, or maybe because he didn't know what reward he could mention in Hu Meng, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Han Zan couldn't help but push and reminded loudly: "Zhou Fugui, the Khan is asking you!" ”

"Huh? Ah, oh" Zhou Fugui hurriedly came back to his senses, hurriedly knelt down in front of Kelie, and said boldly: "The slave has no other extravagant hopes, just ask the Khan to give the slave a lifetime of wealth." ”

Ke Lie laughed after hearing this, in Zhou Fugui's opinion, this reward is already a big one, but in the eyes of the surrounding Humeng nobles, it is a mosquito leg, so these people, including Han Zan, invariably pursed their mouths, and their hearts were really an uninformed minion, and they would actually ask for this kind of reward.

"As you wish, Ben Khan hereby promises you, as long as you concentrate on doing things for my Humeng, to ensure that you are prosperous and rich in this life, and enjoy inexhaustible, if in the future, my Humeng can come to Yanjing and destroy Dayan, Ben Khan will promise you to be the lord of a city!" Kelie obviously gave Zhou Fugui a lot more than he wanted, but these are more like a means to entrap people, after all, if you want to be the city lord, then you have to work hard to help Hu Meng build more and better siege weapons, right?

It's just that Zhou Fugui didn't think about it so much, only hearing that Kelie promised him so much, he kowtowed like garlic in an instant, and almost pulled out his ancestors for eighteen generations to kowtow to Kelie to thank him.

Just as Kelie was about to go to the next place, Zhou Fugui hesitated, but couldn't help but kneel down again and said, "Slave...... The minions dared to ask the khan for a man. ”

"Huh?" Kelie and the surrounding Humeng generals all looked at him again, Zhou Fugui looked up at Kelie with some trepidation, his eyes were full of panic and prayer, after all, this kind of practice is a bit unetiquette.

"What else do you want, just ask?"

Zhou Fugui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, a flash of greed flashed in his eyes, and he set his eyes on the prisoner camp in the distance, where the women of the Yan Kingdom were collected from the clouds, and as for the Humeng people who worked tirelessly to bring these women here from the clouds, their intentions were self-evident.

Kelie followed Zhou Fugui's gaze and asked Han Zan beside him, "Where is it?" ”

Han Zan quietly glared at Zhou Fugui, but since the Khan asked, he couldn't hide anything, and said respectfully: "Khan, there is."

The captive camp, because it takes a lot of labor to build siege equipment such as cloud ladders, so some Yan people were caught from the clouds. ”

Kelie is such a smart person, just listening to Han Zan's words, his heart is clear, and he means something: "We prairie men, naturally we have to ride the strongest horses, drink the strongest wine, and go to the strongest women, but we have to divide the time, and don't use all our strength on the belly of the woman." ”

Han Zan saw that Kelie's words were slightly blamed, and hurriedly asked for guilt: "Wechen was impulsive, and asked the Khan to punish him." ”

Of course, Kelie would not cure the crime of a general because of this trivial matter, not to mention that he was still in front of the battle at this time, so he waved his hand, signaled that this time it would be over, and then turned back to Zhou Fugui and said: "There, you can choose three people to be your slaves at will, their life and death are all up to you, but Ben Khan has said it first, if I find you, or they do something unfavorable to Hu Meng, and you are still suspected of harboring it, you have to think clearly about the consequences." ”

Zhou Fugui's face was happy, and he hurriedly thanked Kelie, and then looked at the prisoner camp, and the fanaticism in his eyes could not be concealed.

Because the next thing to see was the siege crossbow, and this part was not the place that Zhou Fugui was responsible for, so he asked the person in charge of the prisoner of war camp to take Zhou Fugui to select people, and he continued to walk to the siege crossbow on the other side, accompanied by Hanzan and others.

Han Zan sighed with some regret, there are so many women in the prisoner of war camp, whether it is appearance or temperament, it makes people have a strong desire to conquer, which belongs to the most primitive desire of men to conquer, he was originally going to take the time to tame these two fierce horses in these two days, but now it is cheaper Zhou Fugui, I only hope that this guy knows a little bit of proportion, don't be too greedy, otherwise, there will be no good fruit for him to eat.

The place where the siege crossbow was placed was not far from the previous place, and another Yan country craftsman who had been waiting here for a long time greeted him, but compared with Zhou Fugui before, this person seemed more calm and introverted.

When Kelie set his eyes on this person, Han Zan hurriedly came behind Kelie and introduced: "This person's name is Zhou Ronghua, and he is the brother of Zhou Fugui just now, but in terms of skills, he is much stronger than Zhou Fugui. ”

"How so?" Hearing Han Zan introduce Zhou Ronghua like this, Kelie inevitably became more interested in this person, at least from the first impression, Zhou Ronghua gave him a much better impression than Zhou Fugui, but this also shows that this person is more difficult to control than Zhou Fugui.

"Because of the craftsmanship of the siege crossbow, only he understands, as for the previous Zhou Fugui, he only understands some fur, and according to Weichen's observation, Zhou Fugui has a lot of things, and he still has to ask this person for advice." Hanzan added.

Behind Zhou Ronghua was a series of siege crossbows lined up, and the targets in the distance had been beaten to tatters, obviously the last round of tests had just ended, and when Ke Lie stepped forward, Zhou Ronghua didn't speak, just lowered his head and stood aside very unfamiliarly.

Han Zan frowned, and said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "Master Zhou, the Khan is here, how can you be so lazy, since you have promised to surrender to me Hu Meng, you must have the consciousness of being a minister." ”

Zhou Ronghua clasped his hands on his chest nonchalantly, looked at his work in front of him without squinting and said: "General Hanzan may have forgotten the agreement between us, the reason why I agreed to build a siege crossbow for Hu Meng that day was because General Hanzan promised me to release a Yan country person back to Yan country, and now I have completed the siege crossbow ninety percent of nine, but I still haven't seen General Hanzan fulfill his promise, you let me."

How to claim to be a Mongol? ”

Han Zan's face sank, there was such an agreement with Zhou Ronghua at the beginning, and he also planned to release the Yan countryman, but when he saw the person for the first time, he quietly changed his mind, because it was a Yan woman, and it was a woman who could make men crazy, so he made an excuse to keep dragging it out, thinking that when Zhou Ronghua built the siege crossbow, and then let Hu Meng's craftsmen learn all the craft, he would casually find an excuse to dispose of it.

I don't want to be smart this week Ronghua is smart, keep an eye on it, and the siege crossbow made has not achieved the effect for a long time, and it happened to be put forward in time for the Khan's visit, which made him quite embarrassed, and sure enough, Kelie once again lived up to expectations and hit Han Zan, Han Zan knew that this matter could no longer be fooled, and opened his mouth to ask for guilt again.

"Is that a woman?" Kelie was the first to speak, and Han Zan nodded helplessly, only to hear Kelie snort coldly, and said slightly angrily: "Sooner or later, you will be planted in the hands of women." ”

This sentence alone made Han Zan immediately kneel on the ground, touch the ground with his forehead, and wait for the fall of Kelie in anxiety.

It's just that Kelie didn't pay attention to him anymore, and he didn't bother to deal with this guy named Zhou Ronghua, he Kelie has his own pride, in this case, if he takes the initiative to talk to Zhou Ronghua, it is his weakness to the other party, you must know that even if he is fierce to the old khan, he has always been very strong, and the person in this world who can make him show weakness, except for Meng Shengnado, may only be the demon of Yanjing.

"Ben Khan will give you another three days, if the siege crossbow is still unusable, you can go to attack the town of Shema by yourself, if you can't capture it, you don't have to come back." Kelie coldly shook off a sentence, took the horse from Temutel's hand, and went away without looking back.

Han Zan, who was kneeling on the ground, watched Kelie and his party out of sight before he stood up from the ground with a gloomy face, he really wanted to split the Yan man named Zhou Ronghua in front of him in half with a knife, but reason told him that only this person could save his life now.

After all, if he goes to attack Xiema Town alone, although he is an extremely martial arts cultivator, but in the face of tens of thousands of Yan troops in Xiema Town, let alone climb the city wall, it is estimated that the longbowmen on the city wall will shoot down a few rounds, and he will have to become a hedgehog.

Quietly taking a deep breath, Han Zan said in what he thought was the most soothing tone: "Master Zhou, it was my negligence before that I failed to fulfill my promise to you, and I sincerely apologize to you here." ”

As he spoke, he stroked his chest with his right hand and bowed to Zhou Ronghua, "I'll go and arrange for the release of Miss Liu, and then I will let Master Zhou and I watch her leave safely, and ask Master Zhou to complete the construction of the siege crossbow as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Ronghua obviously didn't want to listen to these falsehoods, through this period of getting along, he found that although the general Hu Meng in front of him looked loyal, he was actually more cunning than his younger brother, at least his younger brother would show everything, but this Han Zan was a real smiling tiger, one set on the surface, one behind the scenes, if people who didn't understand him, they might be killed by him, and they would be grateful to him.

"Reminder, the Khan gave the general three days, and it will take at least a day and a half to complete the siege crossbow on my side, so in terms of time, please arrange it yourself." Zhou Ronghua added lukewarmly, then sat back in his place leisurely again, poured himself a glass of mare's milk wine, he found that although he didn't like Hu Meng's people, he was quite fond of Hu Meng's things, especially this mare's milk wine, which made him love it.
