A special soldier who had been standing in the corner and seemed to be napping suddenly opened his eyes, and the person also moved, flashed from among the six Tujia soldiers gathered in front of him, took out a heaven-shaking thunder from his arms, lit it on a torch at the door, paused slightly, and threw it towards a wooden pavilion outside the hall.

The earth-shattering thunder drew an arc and landed on the top of the wooden pavilion, with a loud "boom", the entire wooden pavilion fell, and the fire ignited from the thatch on the top of the pavilion, and the pavilion that was about to collapse was all encompassed.

The sound of "dangchang" was chaotic, and all the saber officials in the hall drew their swords out of their sheaths, glaring at Xi Mucheng angrily, just waiting for Peng Tuchou to give an order.

Xi Mucheng spoke first, pointed his finger at the Xizhou official who wrinkled his eyebrows and said with disdain: "My Lord Lin has invented such a sharp weapon, ask who in the world can be the enemy?" To tell the truth, Lord Lin borrowed troops from you, not to beg you, but to give you a chance for the Tujia family in Xizhou! ”

The two Tujia generals shouted "Wow, yes", and people jumped out, and two large knives nearly one meter long were waving in front of Xi Mucheng.

Xi Mucheng's face was full of sarcasm, and each one finger gently pushed the snowy blade away, and then arched his hand to the expressionless Peng Shichou and said, "Master Peng, can you take a step to speak?" ”

"Stand down for me!" Peng Shichou roared angrily, turned around and brushed his sleeves away, and threw down a sentence: "Please Mr. Xi to the quiet room!" ”

Peng Shichou's eldest son, Peng Shiyu, came over, repelled the two reckless men, and took Xi Mucheng to a quiet room in the back hall.

Waiting for Peng Shiyu to cover the door and leave, Peng Shichou was silent for a moment and asked, "What is the name of that weapon?" ”

"Thunder! Today, the saint himself got his name! Xi Mucheng pulled a ** over and sat down.

Peng Shichou hesitated slightly, but still asked: "This kind of sharp weapon can already be produced in large quantities?" "Let him Peng Shichou run rampant in Xiangxi, and lead the territorial family to become an independent small kingdom in Xizhou, but their current nominal subject country has been replaced by the Tang Dynasty, if the Tang Dynasty sent a special soldier with such a killing weapon to raid, if he said that he was not cowardly, it would be purely hard-mouthed!

"Of course! The earth-shattering thunder is the latest weapon invention of the Academy of Sciences, which has been widely used in the Quanzhou War and has achieved brilliant results! Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lord Lin to easily capture and remain effective in the 100,000 Qingyuan army and surrender the two places of Quanzhang! Xi Mucheng said half-truthfully, his face extremely relaxed. Of course, this is a big deal, the output of the earth-shaking thunder, because it is subject to the raw material sentinel stone, is still produced in small batches.

Peng Shichou's eyes narrowed, carefully observing Xi Mucheng's expression. Xi Mucheng also looked back calmly at this heroic figure who single-handedly created the 800-year-old Tusi system in Xiangxi.

After a long time, Peng Shichou asked softly: "Then may I ask Mr. Xi, are you optimistic about the big war with the north?" ”

"If we say that we are victorious in the north, Lord Thorn Shi will definitely think that we are talking about it, but if we don't say modestly, we are at least seventy percent sure!" Xi Mucheng laughed lightly, got up and came over, and spoke passionately, "Lord Lin is far-sighted, and he has been preparing for this big battle since the beginning of the talent ceremony, collecting the Chu State and Qingyuan, making friends with the Liao State, and secretly helping the Northern Han Dynasty, which has accumulated strength for the Tang Dynasty and made a stumbling block for the north; At the same time, Lord Lin is wise and innovative, Datang weapons are unparalleled in the world, weapon inventions are endless, and the trained special soldiers are famous in the world. We fight unprepared, fight civil strife with tranquility, and it is self-evident who is more sure! ”

Peng Shichou's face did not change, and he said lightly: "That's what I said. However, your Lord Lin seems to have a bigger appetite, and after recovering Quanzhang, he has to stab Nanhan and Wu Yue twice, and capture Fuzhou and Wenzhou in a row. If the two countries and the north strike together, will Datang be able to withstand it? I also heard that the north has already intended to pacify Jin, Jiang and other states in one fell swoop? ”

Xi Mucheng laughed, raised his right hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said loudly: "Xi Mou dares to make a bet with Master Peng, I bet that the land of Fenshui will be a big quagmire that is difficult to pull out in the north!" The war will never end in a year! ”

Peng Shi was noncommittal, and he didn't know Xi Mucheng's radical method at all.

Xi Mucheng's face did not change, he waved his outstretched right hand smoothly, put it behind his back, and said slowly: "My Lord Lin has always had a long-term view of things, and Jin, Jiang and other states have a complete set of combat response plans, and now it is only a small and half way through, please wait and see!"

As for the Southern Han Dynasty and Wu Yue, my family Master Lin said that if you fight, of course, you have to fight on the other side's land, and it doesn't matter how hard you fight or how bad you fight! My family also said that if the two countries are willing to send it to the door, it will be easier to solve the three opponents at once, and it will be more convenient to solve the three opponents in one battle! ”

Looking at the arrogant Xi Mucheng, Peng Shichou suddenly felt a trace of melancholy, is he really a little old? I really can't guess these bold and proud young people!

Xi Mucheng slowly took out a piece of paper from his arms, respectfully placed it in front of Peng Shichou, and said softly: "Master Peng, how many years have you been crisscrossing the land of Xiyou, and your experience is unparalleled, please take a look, if Panlong leads the elite of the Chenzhou Tujia family to participate in this plan, what will happen in time?" ”

Peng Shichou picked up the piece of paper casually, and his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at it carefully.

Xi Mucheng observed the Tujia boss with a smile on his face, and found that his eyes narrowed more and more, and his fingers were more forceful, and he pinched the piece of paper into a deformation.

"Lord Thorn Shi, please let Xi say something arrogant. Although Xiangxi is big, it is only a small corner of the world, and in the bosom of Lord Lin, there is a vast land and an endless sea, where there is endless wealth and a broad future. I think that an overseas vassal king is far better than a Tusi Castle in the Ten Thousand Mountains! ”

"You're a good lobbyist!" After a long time, Peng Shichou said softly, taking the piece of paper away from his eyes, but still holding it tightly in his hand.

"Lord Thorn Shi praised it falsely! My Lord Lin hung a big copper coin on the lobby of Shouzhou Thorn Mansion, and once told us that a person who really has the future of the Tang Dynasty in his heart will inevitably firmly believe that the outer king and the inner saint will be good to the brothers, good to the people, and will inevitably be ruthless to outsiders, I think, this is also the main reason why Xi swore to follow Lord Lin forever. Xi Mucheng said softly, but feelings of admiration, worship and other feelings were undisguised from these words.

Peng Shichou slowly folded the piece of paper and put it into his arms, looked at the gray night outside the window, and said slowly: "It seems that this mountain is indeed too high, and Peng is about to become a frog at the bottom of the well sitting in the well and watching the sky!" Although I didn't have the opportunity to meet Lord Lin, but when I saw the frank and wise Mr. Xi, I naturally admired Lord Lin very much, and it was time for our Xizhou Tujia family to go out to see the world! ”

Xi Mucheng's palms lightly struck each other, and he celebrated his success in moving the most difficult object to convince, bowed and saluted: "Xi hereby solemnly promises to Lord Assassin Shi that if there is any violation of the treaty in the future, Xi is willing to use this body as a guarantee!" ”

"Forget it, I came from the sea of corpses and blood, after decades of wind and rain, I naturally know that there will be big risks if there is a high return, how can I be embarrassed by you as a scholar? Let's go, Mr. Xi must have a good look at the customs of my Tujia family tonight! Peng Shichou stood up, and the jumping torch threw his figure against the wall, and suddenly he looked particularly majestic, and a piece of cloth inadvertently bulged up on his chest, as if that immortal ambition was about to snatch out of his chest!
