"Fair?" He Zicheng laughed angrily: "You are the master here, and what am I?" Is there fairness between us? ”

"If you're willing to work for me, I'll give you the fairness you want."

"I've made it clear that I don't want to... He Zicheng suddenly stopped talking when he said this, and his face changed for a long time before he let out a long breath and looked at Qian Buli intently: "Honorable Commander, what I came here to discuss with you is not a question of the quality of soldiers and politicians, nor is it a question of whether you will win the final victory, nor is it a question of whether I will work for you!" I admit that you have always been able to subtly control my thoughts and emotions and divert my attention, and I sincerely ask you not to continue to avoid it, this question is very important to you and to me! ”

"Such a solemn matter... What exactly are you trying to say? Qian Buli smiled gently.

"You get the idea!" He Zicheng put his hands heavily on the table: "I ask you to abort your plans!" You're challenging all of our nobles!! ”

"You're deliberately sensationalizing again, how can I challenge all the nobles?"

"You can't hide it from me." He Zicheng accentuated his tone: "Look at what you've done!" deliberately set a trap for the nobles of Luling County, and then turned his face and denied people, and led troops to encircle and suppress the nobles' families! Ha ha.... I know that in whatever you do, you like to play yourself as a messenger of justice, don't you? You used deception to tempt the nobles of Luling County to do irrational things, intensified the contradictions between the nobles and the commoners and the Tu people, and finally you came forward to suppress the atrocities of the nobles. What a vicious conspiracy!! The more He Zicheng spoke, the more excited he became.

Qian Buli looked at He Zicheng silently, let the other party play, and didn't say a word.

"Your plan not only greatly weakened the strength of the nobles of Luling County, so that they did not dare or have the strength to confront you in the future, but also won the hearts of the people! From today onwards, under the rendering of some well-intentioned people, your name will spread throughout Fuzhou, and you will become a hero praised by the civilians and Turks of Fuzhou! He Zicheng's hand slapped heavily on the table: "What are you going to do?" What exactly do you want? ”

"You're done?"

"Yes, sir." He Zicheng calmed down his emotions for a moment: "You have to stop this plan, otherwise the nobles of the entire Ji Zhou Kingdom will regard you as an enemy!" I hope you will think carefully about the pros and cons! ”

"One thing I don't quite understand, if I am a shepherd and I forget a lamb on the grassland, and the lamb is eaten by wolves, should I blame myself for my carelessness, or should I hate the wolves?" Qian Buli's fingers tapped lightly on the table, but what came out of his mouth was full of heart-wrenching words: "From beginning to end, you have been blaming my conspiracy, but you have not blamed the greed of the nobles, is this a little unfair?" If it weren't for their greedy nature, they wouldn't have fallen into my trap at all! ”

"You've finally admitted that all of this is your trap!" He Zicheng thought that he had gradually gained the upper hand, and his expression became energetic: "Everything was caused by you, you not only deliberately hurt the commoners, but also the nobles, I hope you can rationally abort your plan!" ”

"Politicians are hypocrisy, and it sounds like you're planning for me." Qian Buli smiled: "Since you are so good to me, why don't you want to work for me?" ”

He Zicheng paused for a moment, and said slowly: "My lord, you are trying to divert my attention again!" ”

"You've been trying to divert my attention!" Qian Buli laughed: "However, do you really think you can hide it from me?" Or do you think I'm just a soldier who can fight, and I won't analyze the current national and people's feelings? ”

"You...

"I'm a very special soldier because I know you." Qian Buli paced back and forth in the handsome tent with a smile, and suddenly turned around and said: "The situation in Ji Zhouguo is very unstable, and the contradictions between the nobles, commoners, and slaves are already very acute, is that so?" ”

He Zicheng's face suddenly turned pale, his body shook a few times, and his throat shook.

"You persuaded me so 'sincerely' to stop the plan, just because I was afraid that I would get the benefits and stir up the relationship between nobles and commoners in the future, so that Ji Zhouguo would be fundamentally turbulent, right?" Qian Buli showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Your vision can be so long-term is beyond my imagination!" It's a pity that there are too few nobles like you, and most of the nobles can't see this, and they know that they are like leeches greedily sucking people's fat and people's ointment! ”

"My lord... Now that you've seen the results, do you still want to stick to your plan? He Zicheng forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and looked at Qian Buli.

"Why not? The old aristocrats were too greedy. Qian Buli smiled: "I believe that there are many people who are willing to step on the corpse of the old nobleman and rush over and become a new generation of nobleman." ”

He Zicheng's body was shaky: "You... You want to rebel??? ”

"Wrong, it's not a rebellion, it's a shuffle! The big shuffle! If you want to participate, I will welcome it, and if you want to go, I will not keep it, the decision is yours. “

"Your Excellency, you... Crazy?! He Zicheng's face was distorted: "This is playing with fire!" Do you understand? When the fire burns out, you'll be burned to death!! ”

"If you have the energy, think more about your family and yourself." Qian Buli leisurely sat back on his handsome seat: "What I should do is my own business, and I don't need others to point fingers in front of me." ”

He Zicheng stood there silently, as a long-term vision, the heir of the earl's family, he had long been aware of the danger of the political situation of Ji Zhouguo, and he also contacted many nobles who had the same opinion, but unfortunately their influence on the entire aristocratic class was still very low, and at best they could only criticize, but they were powerless to influence the direction of Ji Zhouguo. It was based on this understanding that he keenly judged the turmoil that would inevitably occur from Qian Buli's plan, but to his surprise, Qian Buli was not unaware, he was deliberately causing this turmoil!

In the silence of the two people, Ren Shuai's voice came from afar: "Lord Commander, someone wants to see you!" ”

Qian Buli was slightly stunned, the guests who could let Ren Shuai come to report in person would not be ordinary people, Qian Buli stood up: "Let's talk about it here, let you know, I have already told you." When Qian Buli walked to the door, he hesitated, turned around and sighed: "If it weren't for Du Bing's efforts to recommend you to me, I wouldn't have been able to tolerate you a long time ago, maybe killing you would be a wise choice, but... I advise you not to waste your last chance! ”

Qian Buli left the handsome tent, leaving He Zicheng to think hard alone, and Ren Shuai hurriedly greeted him in front of him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, he looks like an officer, he has a secret letter from the earl in his hand, I didn't read the things in the letter, he insisted on handing it over to you personally." ”

"You don't know?"

"I don't know." Ren Shuai shook his head and said, "It's not our Tianwei Army." ”

"Interesting... Qian Buli smiled: "Take me to meet him." ”

Ren Shuai came to his tent with Qian Buli, lifted the door curtain for Qian Buli, and Qian Buli walked in first. Inside was a young man dressed in ordinary civilian attire, he was of medium stature, his face was thin, but his eyes were large and very bright, and the most strange thing was that he actually looked at Qian with a scrutinizing gaze.

Qian Buli looked at the young man, and then turned his gaze to a large package beside the young man: "Are you looking for me?" Who are you? ”

"I'm a fugitive, my lord." The young man looked at Qian with a smile.

Ren Shuai was stunned, Qian Buli, who had long been accustomed to being moody, turned pale as usual: "What kind of fugitive?" ”

"My lord, my surname is Guan, and my name is Guan Yudong." The young man saw that Qian Buli's expression remained unchanged, and his tone increased: "Not long ago, I was a general of the Royal Praetorian Guard, and now, I am a fugitive wanted by the Cabinet Military Department. ”

"A fugitive wanted by the Ministry of War? Hehe.... All right. Qian Buli waved his hand, Ren Shuai immediately walked out of the way, drove the soldiers guarding the door into the distance, and then returned to the tent, while Qian Buli sat on the chair with a smile: "Excuse me, did you, a fugitive, bring me good news or bad news?" ”

Guan Yudong's face did not change when he saw Qian Buli, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes: "My lord, this news... He glanced at Ren Shuai, and Ren Shuai gave him a smile back.

"Don't worry, he's my cronie, what news did you bring?"

Guan Yudong knelt on one knee and fell to the ground: "My lord, the earl ordered me to throw myself into the account of the lord of the commander, and listen to the dispatch of the lord, this is the secret letter of the earl." After speaking, Guan Yudong handed over a letter.

"You seem to have brought me a lot of gifts, right?" Qian couldn't leave and smiled.

"Yes, my lordship, the Earl ordered me to hurry to Fuzhou, and when I left the Praetorian Guard, I took the sheep and took some things." Guan Yudong also laughed.

"What is it?" Qian Buli's voice couldn't help but bring out a little curiosity.

Ren Shuai walked up to take the letter in Guan Yudong's hand and handed it to Qian Buli, Qian Buli was not in a hurry to read the letter, his eyes were still on Guan Yudong.

"I brought out five pedal crossbows, which is the limit of my ability, but I only brought out ten crossbow arrows." Guan Yudong opened the big package, pulled out a few pieces of clothing, and then took out a wooden box wrapped in animal skins from inside, and then Guan Yudong walked towards Qian Buli with the wooden box.

Ren Shuai moved his wrist, picked up the stabbing spear next to him and put it in front of Guan Yudong, although his actions were very impolite, but the smile on his face was always maintained, Ren Shuai took the wooden box and put it aside, opened it with his own hands, and then his eyes involuntarily showed joy.

Guan Yudong shrugged his shoulders, didn't say anything, and quietly took a few steps back.

"My lord, it's really a foot crossbow!" Ren Shuai excitedly took out a crossbow from the wooden box.

Qian Buli barely suppressed the joy in his heart, took the crossbow, and observed it carefully. This pedal crossbow is far less refined than the special crossbow he used at that time, but there is no trace of contempt in Qian Bucentrifu, after all, this pedal crossbow is currently the most powerful individual weapon!

The whole crossbow arm of the foot crossbow is made of fine iron, and the arrow groove in the middle is wooden, and the most surprising thing is that the foot crossbow is actually expected to be a mountain, and there is an iron hanging knife under the arrow groove, and several iron bars fix the crossbow arm and the arrow groove together, and the hook core and several iron teeth combine each part into a whole key. Although the pedal crossbow does not have a shiny luster and is very simple to make, Qian Buli can clearly feel the lethality of this pedal crossbow.

"What do you call that? Suspension knife or trigger? ”

"It's the trigger, my lord." Ren Shuai replied softly.

"How far can you shoot?"

"You can pierce two layers of iron armor within 400 steps!" Guan Yudong replied.

"Four Hundred Steps。。。。。 Qian Buli took a long breath, no one in this world could understand the importance of long-range strikes more deeply than him: "If this thing is handed over to blacksmiths to imitate, can it be created?" ”

"This... Hard. Guan Yudong hesitated for a moment: "My lord, as far as I know, the Ordnance Supervisor of the Imperial City can only produce five hundred foot crossbows every year. ”

Qian Buli's heart was cold at that time, he specialized in mathematics, and Qian Buli devoted most of his energy to the military field, and had no intention of dabbling in other aspects. Steel, money does not leave, and I know that I should add charcoal to the iron; Huo Yao, Qian Buli knew how to make it with sulfur and charcoal, but he didn't know how much to add and how to operate it.

Give money without leaving a special crossbow, and Qian Wuli can accurately hit any target within 200 meters, but if you let Qian Wuli make a special crossbow, it will be like forcing a man to give birth to a child, can't he give birth to it in his stomach? Even if a miracle falls from the sky, a lathe appears in front of Qian Buli, and all Qian Buli can do is to face the lathe in a daze.

Qian Buli was extremely depressed and reluctant to put the crossbow on the table, it seems that with the little goods in his stomach, there is no way to take the road of becoming a scientific and technological power, so... Let's compare who is ruthless!!

Guan Yudong looked at Qian Buli with a surprised gaze, a full five foot crossbows, but a high meeting gift, he couldn't figure out why the Lord Commander just began to show the joy he expected, and then changed to a sad face? Don't.... Does the Commander really want to make a mass number of foot crossbows? It's simply impossible!

Qian Buli took out Jia Tianxiang's letter, read it carefully, and then beckoned to Ren Shuai, Ren Shuai stepped forward and took out a fire fold to light it, and carefully burned the letter.

Although the letter was read, Qian Buli's heart could not calm down, Jia Tianxiang hinted very vaguely in the letter, over the years, he has relied on his huge financial resources to make arrangements in Ji Zhouguo, not to mention anything else, that is, in the Royal Praetorian Guard, he has laid down more than a dozen shadows, Guan Yudong is just one of them. This time, Guan Yudong came to Fuzhou because Guan Yudong had outstanding ability, which could relieve the pressure of Qian Buli and no one was available, and Jia Tianxiang saw that Qian Buli had a strong interest in the foot crossbow, which was also the reason why Guan Yudong fled with the foot crossbow.

Qian Buli is good at drawing inferences, since Jia Tianxiang can make this kind of arrangement, then even He Jiongming of the city fortress will not do anything? None of these old foxes in politics are fuel-efficient lamps! Qian Buliben was a little disappointed in He Zicheng's stubbornness, and now it seemed that he had to convince He Zicheng to let the power of the He family be used for himself.

"You're in the Royal Guard... Qian Buli turned his gaze to Guan Yudong, not to mention anything else, Jia Tianxiang's eyesight really made him admire, it turned out that the commander of the infantry in Snow Plains City, and the commander of the cavalry, Du Bing, both of them are generals, and I believe that this Guan Yudong is not far behind.

"My lord, Xia Guan turned out to be General Jianwei."

"Hmmm... You should change your name when you come to me, and your name is still on the wanted list of the Ministry of War. ”

"This is not a big deal, I use a fake name in the military department, and Guan Yudong is my real name." Guan Yudong replied with a smile.

"How's your attainment in foot combat?" The Royal Praetorian Guard is the largest cavalry corps in Ji Zhou Kingdom, and there is no need to ask about cavalry warfare, the key is that the cavalry without money is simply not enough. According to the titles of Du Bing and Wang Rui, they should have formed an independent cavalry brigade a long time ago, but because there was no cavalry reserve in the army, and there was nowhere to replenish the war horses, they could only be temporarily settled. If Guan Yudong is arranged in the cavalry team, he can only be a bare-pole commander, so Qian Buli wants to arrange Guan Yudong into the infantry.

"My lord, why did you get the first time you got there, so let's be a staff officer for the adult." Guan Yudong frowned, and made another request.

"It's okay, you go and rest first, and let General Ren Shuai arrange a place to live for you." Qian Buli didn't force it, he knew that the cavalry had its own superiority over the infantry: "Find time to write out your own resume and give it to me tonight." ”

"Yes, my lord." Guan Yudong followed Ren Shuai out of the tent.
