"If we provide iron ore and charcoal, can we reduce it a little?"

Xiao Xing suddenly became distressed, and suddenly remembered the captives who were taken away by Zhao Chen that day, and immediately asked.

If they can provide ore and coal, and Hengsheng people can forge it into weapons, it should be able to outperform forging it themselves. After all, it takes a lot of time just to train a qualified blacksmith, not to mention that with their current condition, whether they can find enough blacksmiths is a problem.

Li Qiancheng replied: "If this is the case, then the price can be reduced by more than half." ”

"By the way, I still have some old rice in the warehouse in the house, so it is better to give some to Your Excellency, which can be regarded as a tribute to me. Xiao Feng walked around and said: "After all, in this world, even if you have weapons, if you have no food to speak of, I am afraid that you can only wait quietly for death." ”

Hearing this, Li Qiancheng immediately rejoiced, opened his mouth and said: "Chen Mi, no matter how many you have, I am willing to buy it for ten yuan and one stone!" There is no way, there are more than 100 blacksmiths under his Heng Shengyu, and every household needs food, but after repeated wars, except for those state capitals that still have grain in stock, the rest of the people have already been consumed, so they fled to the famine.

And the big landlords like them are just relying on the accumulation of the past years to barely support themselves, if they encounter any kind of trouble, they are afraid that they will also fall apart and no longer exist.

The Qin brothers also hurriedly bowed down: "Zhenfeng Niangniang is really merciful, we will definitely do our best, and we will definitely not overdue." ”

The two brothers are from a family of ironworkers, and they have a great appetite on weekdays, but in this situation, even if they have thousands of family wealth in their hands, they are afraid that it will be difficult to buy food. In normal times, you can buy a stone of grain for only 500 yuan, but in this troubled world, prices have skyrocketed, so the food here has also soared to such a situation.

It can be seen how difficult people's livelihood is.

"Okay, you can prepare 27,000 spearheads, 26,000 waist knives, and 8,000 plate armor for me, I don't know how long it will take you to prepare?" Xiao Feng nodded and asked.

Li Qiancheng touched it and replied, "It will take about two months." ”

"Two months, so long?"

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then I will come once every ten days to take away the weapons I have built, and of course I will also send this part of the money and food." In this case, I don't know if Li Gongzi is willing?" The soldiers in the army are waiting for this batch of ordnance, and the surrounding princes are also eyeing each other, how can they wait for ten days and half a month?

"Commander Xiao sent charcoal in the snow, and Li naturally kept it in mind. Don't worry, I'll hand over all these weapons. We will never let the blood of those faithful and righteous be shed in vain. Li Qiancheng laughed loudly, with a happy face.

"Then please leave the matter here to Li Gongzi. When Xiao Feng saw that this matter was done, he also felt happy, got up and said: "It's just that Luzhou has frequent political affairs, and I still need to go back to deal with it." So I'll take my leave. After finishing speaking, she took Xiao Xing and left from here, so as not to have any situation in Luzhou City because she was not in charge.

After the Qin brothers, Xiao Feng and Xiao Xing left, a person walked out of the inner hall, holding a folding fan and a long robe, and he was also a handsome son.

He glanced at the distance from afar, and suddenly laughed: "That Xiao Feng is also extraordinary, but it's a pity that she is just a woman, how can she succeed?" Then, he looked at Li Qiancheng again and asked, "I didn't expect you to be able to bear it, and you really agreed to her thing." Have you been seduced by her?"

"Brother Kong, I'm just an expedient measure. Do you still take it seriously? I see, or you, the Holy Father, have too high a vision to see such an existence. Li Qiancheng snorted and laughed, and said again: "After all, she is also a generation of handsome masters, and among her peers, I am afraid that there is only Tibetan Tantric Ba Sipa." To be able to achieve the first-class earth immortal at such an age. It's a rarity in the world. After all, this point is still a concern. ”

That's right, the person in front of him is the lineage of the Holy Duke of Qufuyan in Shandong, called Kong Zhi.

And this person is now the same age as Xiao Feng, and his cultivation is also good, no worse than Zhang Shijie and Zhang Hongfan, even if it is the Xiao sisters again, I am afraid that he is only between the two of them. It is precisely because of this that this person has always been arrogant, so when he saw Xiao Feng so powerful, he was very annoyed, and whenever others mentioned Xiao Feng, he was furious.

Now that he was teased by Li Qiancheng, he immediately became annoyed: "This is nature. It's just that the woman was just lucky to occupy a corner of the place, and her arrogance was so arrogant. Did she really think that she was the body of a real dragon? ”

"Oh well. Let's not talk about this, but what about what I asked you to say to the Mongol Great Khan?" Li Qiancheng turned a little concerned and asked.

Kong Zhi laughed loudly, only aimed his hand at a pear tree in the distance and slapped it violently, and immediately there was a flood of energy swept away, and after countless debris were scattered, it became a plaque that was more than two zhang long and four feet wide.

With a smile, he was full of confidence in his strength, and said to Li Qiancheng: "Naturally, the negotiation has been completed, as long as you help us eradicate this demon girl, I will definitely recommend it to the Great Khan." ”

"Okay, then go with your plan. Li Qiancheng opened his mouth in response.

On the other side, Xiao Xing and the others had already stepped into the mountain road, and they naturally didn't know what was happening in the shaded town behind them.

It's just that Xiao Xing thought of the royal power incident that day, so he was a little apprehensive, and asked: "Master, I see that Li Qiancheng seems to be compliant, and he looks like a wolf, and it is estimated that this person is definitely not such a loyal and righteous man, but I am afraid that this person will betray us in the future." In that case, why did the master still communicate with him, and even let this person produce such a huge amount of ordnance?"

"I'll ask you. How many metro craftsmen are there? Where are they? What are they good at? And how are the pieces of iron for wrought iron made, and how are they used?"

Xiao Feng didn't answer directly, but asked instead.

Xiao Xing shook his head and replied, "I don't know!"

"That's right, you don't know, and I don't know. Only Heng Shengyu and Li Qiancheng know. Xiao Feng replied, obviously a little helpless, and even a little annoyed: "If we rashly start to eradicate this person, what will happen then?"

"Will he ruin all this, so that we can't get these things?" Xiao Xing immediately remembered the scene when he was slandered that day, and suddenly scolded: "These guys, don't they care about the survival of the people at all?"

"For the gentry, maintaining their property and power was the first priority. As for the civilians, although they would pretend to be charity on weekdays, they would naturally throw them aside when they were in danger. After all, those people are just untouchables in their eyes. Untouchables are naturally inferior, and where can they be compared? The so-called selfishness of human nature is nothing more than that!"

The corners of Xiao Feng's mouth curled slightly, and his words were full of contempt: "So as long as we make a move, then he will speak ill of us, transfer the harm he caused to us, and even more seriously, he may incite those blacksmiths to rebel against us." For example, when you were ostracized before, weren't you deliberately arranged by the royal power?" "On that day, if it was not deliberately instigated by the royal power, how could it cause the massacre of Luzhou City?"

After all this, she has matured a lot, and naturally sees many things really!

Xiao Xing was worried and asked, "In that case, what should we do?"

Since the events of the royal power of the day, she has learned that so-called loyalty alone is useless, and in order to ensure the stability of the entire Red Phoenix Army, some necessary measures must be taken.

"Didn't I remember that we had made an agreement with the other party to send soldiers every ten days to receive some weapons? In that case, you might as well pick a few loyal fellows, and take advantage of this time to insert them into the other party's ordnance for the sake of helping to make them, and take this opportunity to test the blacksmiths, and instill in them our ideas and ideas, so that we can win them over to our use. Those gentry can incite the people to resist, so why can't we take the same means to let those people understand and see through the faces of these gentry? The so-called propaganda is nothing more than these things!" After that confident smile, Xiao Feng said his plan little by little.

After all, her purpose is not just to buy ordnance, to control the entire Heng Shengyu for her own use, this is her real purpose!

"If that's the case, then I'll do it. ”

Xiao Xinglian nodded, and secretly thought about it in his heart, thinking about what to do after returning to the mansion.

In order to maintain the safety of the entire Red Phoenix Army, such an existence is a must!

............

In the vast mountains, in front of a mountain city, dozens of corpses were scattered on the ground, surrounded by congealed black blood.

And above the city gate, hanging is the word "Jincheng", in the past it was still in the hands of the Tartars, but overnight has changed hands.

Wiping away the blood stains of the long sword in his hand, Xiao Yue's face was cold, and when she saw the soldiers coming back from horseback in the distance, she asked, "Have you caught those monks?"

"Sir, those guys are too fast, and we didn't catch them enough. The soldier looked stunned and shook his head in reply.

"Have you escaped?" Xiao Yue's face was still cold, but she secretly thought to herself: "I didn't expect that group of bald donkeys to react so quickly." It seems that the Shaolin Temple is also uneasy, do you want to come over to stir up the situation?" Since she fought with those monks just now, she seems to have known that the other party is a disciple of Shaolin Zen Buddhism.

Although these people are also considered to be extraordinary, after repeated battles, Xiao Yue's combat experience can be said to have increased greatly, and his strength has also stepped into the dignified Danding realm, and there are dozens of elite soldiers assisted by bows and crossbows, so it is naturally easy to deal with a few people.

It's just that those few people quickly fled when they saw that the situation was not good, so Xiao Yue was a little unwilling.

"Shall we continue to chase, then?" the soldier continued.

"No!" Xiao Yue jumped lightly on the war horse, her eyes swept over the southern land, and she said, "We have captured Zezhou, Mengzhou, and Huaizhou. The entire Shangdang region is included in the scope of rule, and it is surrounded by mountains, which is an area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The most important thing at this time is to accumulate strength, and we really should not rashly provoke the enemy. Let's go back. After speaking, as soon as she slapped the horse, it had already turned into a wisp of green smoke into the jungle, and the people behind her also patted the horse to follow, preparing to return to Luzhou City and tell Xiao Feng about the situation here.

At this point, including Zezhou and Luzhou, which have a radius of 100,000 miles and a total population of more than 100,000 households, are completely under the command of the Red Wind Army! )
