Chapter 288: Reminiscence

Zhuge Teng sent a partner to Li Si, this one named Zhuge Ming, easy-going, wise and talkative, and talked with Li Si very happily along the way.

"Sir, when you arrive in Xinzheng, if King Han embarrasses you, don't take it to heart." Zhuge Ming said, "He likes to make things difficult."

"I've met King Han, presumably, he won't be sarcastic." Lees said.

Zhuge Ming's face was suspicious, and he asked, "The self-proclaimed "I" in the mouth of the gentleman is the ancient divine soldier that Great Qin preached a while ago?"

"Not bad." Li Si explained, "In order to show the domineering of 'my weapon', King Qin ordered everyone in Great Qin to call themselves 'I'."

"I see." Zhuge Ming asked curiously, "What does that divine soldier look like, is it really so powerful?"

Li Si made a general gesture with his hand and said, "It is similar to the shape of a shield, but it is sharp and angular, and its power on the battlefield is very huge, and the King of Qin has relied on it to win more with less, and has won several times."

"Oh? That's the time to see it with your own eyes." Zhuge Ming said with interest.

"There will be a chance." Li Sidao.

The journey between Luoyi and Xinzheng is not too far, and after talking along the way, the two came to Xinzheng unconsciously.

Under Zhuge Ming's arrangement, the two lived in the pavilion, and Li Si delivered the papers, and then went back to the pavilion to rest, waiting for a reply.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhuge Ming took Li Si to the main hall of the Han Palace.

"Zhuge Ming, why don't you stay in Luoyi honestly, why are you coming to Xinzheng?" King Han said rather lazily, "Didn't the widow say that there is no extra winter clothes to allocate to you now."

Zhuge Ming arched his hand and said, "Wei Chen came this time not to ask for money and goods, but to escort the envoy of Great Qin."

"Great Qin's envoy?" King Han pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Where?"

Li Si stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Foreign Minister Li Si, meet King Han."

When King Han saw Li Si, he leaned forward and said, "Oh, sure enough, there is a foreign minister, what do you say your name is?"

"Huh." Li Si smiled, "King Han really has a good memory, he forgot about it so quickly."

"Don't be rude!" A military general next to him scolded loudly.

King Han raised his hand to stop the general, stood up, took a few steps forward, and looked at Li Si carefully.

"Yo, isn't this Lees." A smile appeared on King Han's face, "When I said goodbye, just like yesterday, I heard that after you left Korea, you went to the Qin Kingdom."

"Hehe, it seems that King Han still recognizes him." Li Si said with a smile, "Yes, after leaving Korea that year, he was left in Great Qin by the King of Qin and became a court lieutenant."

"Tingwei......" King Han said softly, "It's a good errand."

"yes." Li Si said, "Back then, King Qin was framed by someone, and he used some method to confirm his bloodline, and in order to show his gratitude, King Qin was sealed in the next official, which is really ashamed to think about."

"Hehe, I didn't think you still had such a skill." King Han said disdainfully, "But with this kind of ability alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in my Han."

In the face of King Han's ridicule, Li Si was not angry at all, and also smiled and said, "Therefore, the courtiers of Korea are all talented in the world, and those unbearable people can't get into the eyes of King Han."

For Li Si's flattery, King Han seemed quite useful, he laughed, looked at Li Si and asked, "Now that you are here as an envoy of the Qin State, you have something to say, right?"

Li Si arched his hand and said, "The foreign minister's entry into Korea this time is to negotiate with the king of Han on behalf of the king of Qin, as well as to negotiate the number of crossbows to be given."

"Oh?" King Han said, "So, King Qin has agreed to thank this king with a flying crossbow?"

"Exactly." Li Si arched his hand and said, "It's just that it was really not easy to build that flying crossbow, and the only three thousand flying crossbows in Great Qin were given to the Western Regions when King Qin traveled west. So, big

Qin doesn't give the quantity, and it can't be delivered in a short time."

"Humph!" King Han said coldly, "Difficult to make? only

I'm afraid that Daqin has lifted this flying crossbow to the sky, and now that the pattern changed by Han Fei has been brought back to Daqin by Zheng Guo, could it be that Daqin is dignified, and he can't deny it?"

"Definitely." Li Si said calmly, "The foreign minister brought a flying crossbow, and King Han knew how powerful it was when he tried it, and he would definitely understand the difficulty of building it."

King Han subconsciously looked at Xiangguo Zhang Ping, and Zhang Ping nodded slightly.

"Okay, take it." King Han raised his hand and signaled.

"King Han waits." Lees turned and walked out of the temple gate, took out a flying crossbow from the package left outside the door, handed it to a guard, and then returned to the temple.

King Han's personal eunuch took the crossbow and handed it to King Han.

King Han took the crossbow and observed it for a while before saying, "It looks a little strange, I don't know how powerful it is."

"King Han will know if you try it." Lees said.

King Han pointed to one of the generals in the hall and said, "Han Fu, you go out and try this flying crossbow, is it as powerful as the rumors say?"

"Yes!" This military general named Han Fu stepped forward to take the flying crossbow.

Li Si said on the side, "Please also ask King Han to move and watch, don't miss a good show."

"Okay." King Han agreed a little reluctantly, but after all, he did not refute Li Si's face.

The ministers followed King Han to the training ground of the forbidden army, and Han Fu ordered several forbidden soldiers to stand beside him with longbows and ordinary crossbow arrows.

A target shooting competition began.

At the beginning, the people in the Korean temple didn't think anything of it, but gradually, the advantages of the flying crossbow slowly became apparent.

A sergeant with a longbow, after firing a few arrows, has a decrease in strength and accuracy due to a decrease in physical strength.

As for those who use ordinary crossbow arrows, although the physical exertion is not large, after shooting two arrows, Han Fu, who is holding a flying crossbow, has already shot it, and the accuracy is even higher.

Looking at everyone's rather stunned expressions, Li Si couldn't help but smile in his heart.

After a round of competition, Han Fu handed the flying crossbow in his hand to a deputy general of the forbidden army beside him: "Come, you can try it too."

The lieutenant took the crossbow, changed a few more soldiers, and began to compete again.

However, the result is still the same.

In terms of strength, accuracy, and the number of arrows fired, the crossbow is superior to both the longbow and the normal crossbow arrow.

King Han's expression was a little unnatural.

The courtiers were also talking, and it seemed that most of them were quite frightened.

How can they not be frightened by the appearance of a new type of weapon in a neighboring country.

Han Fu took the flying crossbow and returned it to King Han's hands, and then arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this flying crossbow is really powerful, if it is equipped in the army, it can improve its combat power a lot."

"Not bad." Xiangguo Zhang Ping said, "This flying crossbow is indeed domineering, it seems that we are going to be right, with this new type of crossbow arrow, our waist will also be a lot harder."

King Han's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Okay, since you're quite satisfied with this flying crossbow, then let's reluctantly ask for one."

It seems that King Han is still a person who wants to save face.

Li Si was secretly amused in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface, and said calmly: There are too many of them, I'm afraid that Daqin can't do so much in ten years and eight years."

King Han sneered and said, "My Han has more than 400,000 troops, and I ask you for a crossbow, which is simply cheaper for you."

You just blow it!

If you exclude Luoyi, it is difficult to say whether there are 400,000 or not all the men in South Korea combined.

Li Si also put on a straight face, and said coldly: "Good things, naturally they are relatively complicated to make, with the current ability of Great Qin, they can only make more than two thousand a year at most."

"No, it won't." King Han questioned, "There are so many skilled craftsmen in Great Qin, can they only make so much in a year?"

Li Si shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter how many people there are."

Before King Han could ask again, Han Fei on the side stepped forward and chased

He asked, "Dare... Ask my brother, this flying crossbow is like... How is it made?"

Li Si looked at Han Fei, and finally had a smile on his face: "Don't hide it from junior brother, this flying crossbow is not made by hand, but made with special instruments.

When the people heard this, they all began to talk about it.

Han Fei's eyes rolled, and then he arched his hand to King Han and said, "Your Majesty, fly... The advantage of the crossbow, we have... I've seen it, no... If you discuss it, then make a decision with Li Tingwei... Grab."

King Han pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then send Li Tingwei Guild Hall to rest first, and let's talk about it after we have discussed."

Li Si knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay here on this occasion, so after saying goodbye to Zhuge Ming, he returned to the pavilion.

In the evening, Han Fei sent someone to pick up Li Si and invited him to talk to Han Fei's house.

Li Si originally wanted to take Zhuge Ming with him, but the people who came said that Li Si could only go alone, so he had to leave Zhuge Ming in the pavilion.

Han Fei's mansion is not very large, and there is no luxurious arrangement, but it is well organized and tidy.

There are not many family members, but each of them is polite and seems to have some knowledge.

It seems that when Han Fei is fine, he still likes the people in the sect to do learning.

After sitting down, Han Fei took the lead and said, "Temple... Above the hall, I didn't have time to say hello to my senior brother... Phew, that's rude."

"Hehe, you and my brother, don't be so polite." Li Si said, "It's just the two of us now, you can speak slowly, don't worry."

Han Fei nodded, and then said slowly, "Senior brother is in Daqin, are you okay?"

Sure enough, after the speed of speech slowed down, Han Fei's stuttering improved a lot.

"It's fine." Li Si replied, "King Qin is a generation of Ming lords, and in just two years, he has done many great things."

"Indeed." Han Fei said slowly, "These few things that King Qin did can be said to have caused a sensation in the whole world."

"Oh?" Li Si was slightly surprised, "I'm in Great Qin, and I really don't know what the nations think."

"Since the beginning of the Cheng Mutiny, I have paid special attention to Daqin's movements, but helplessly, Daqin seems to have blocked the news very quickly during this time." Han Fei said almost word for word, "It is always after the matter is over that the nations receive the exact news."

"Hehe, this is also to prevent other countries from participating in Great Qin's internal affairs." Li Si smiled and said, "After all, robbers have existed since ancient times."

Han Fei's face sank, and he said, "Could it be that Senior Brother is alluding to the fact that Korea will collaborate with other countries to do some unrighteous things against Great Qin?"

Li Si shook his head lightly and said, "In all fairness, for Great Qin, although Korea is recently, it really can't make any waves, and King Qin's original intention is just to solve the problem by himself, and he doesn't want to owe any country a favor, and this debt can't be repaid."

Han Fei frowned, and said, "At the beginning, I persuaded my senior brother to stay in Korea and assist King Han together to create a great cause, but my senior brother insisted on leaving, could it be that he didn't want to owe me that favor?"

"It's not about human feelings." Li Si shook his head and said slowly, "You also saw today, when King Han faced me, he was quite mean, is this the posture that a Ming Lord should have?"

"For that reason alone, I'm glad I didn't stay in Korea in the first place."

"And in the same way, if you were to choose again, would you still choose King Han as the king you have served all your life?"

A rhetorical question, Han Fei, who asked, was speechless and didn't speak for a long time.
