Zhang Quanyue stood up as he spoke, Pan You and Sun Zhen also stood up, Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu would not lose their manners and stood solemnly.

Zhang Quanyue took out a yellow silk silk from his bosom and said loudly: "In the past, the Tang Dynasty was brilliant and famous; Xiping Nanbo Xiao Han has made outstanding contributions, expanded the territory, made meritorious contributions to Mingde, and was specially named the Marquis of Yasukuni, with 800 households. ”

Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu glanced at each other, lowered their heads and said loudly, "Thank the emperor for his holy grace." Zhang Quan saw that he was quite humble, nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, there is more." ”

Then he took out another holy decree and read it, but it was an edict that crowned Li Yueying as "Princess Fushun", Chai Xinyue as "Princess Wende", and Murong Qiuyu as "Princess Yi'an". According to the rules, the three of them should have been asked to read the holy decree, but Xiao Han and they were people from the rivers and lakes after all, and Li Yueying's brutality was well known to everyone, and when the three of them came, they already knew that Chai Xinyue was seriously injured, so naturally everything was simple.

After receiving the two holy decrees, Xiao Han couldn't cry or laugh, and handed them to Murong Qiuyu with a smile: "Her Royal Highness Princess Yi'an, how can we thank the three adults?"

Murong Qiuyu didn't expect Li Congshan to be so good at doing things, and he also fought hard for his sister-in-law, not only sealing Chai Xinyue, but also carrying himself by the way. However, she was still very grateful in her heart, after all, this was the first time she was so cared for, and when she heard Xiao Han laughing, she immediately bowed to the three with a red face and hugged her fists and said: "Our faction is ugly, and I hope the three adults will forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." ”

The three of them said "don't dare", Murong Qiuyu turned to Xiao Han and said, "I'll tell the two sisters-in-law that you can talk to the three adults." After saying that, he said goodbye to the three of them again.

Seeing her go out, the three of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly sat down. Xiao Han also changed his face and said seriously: "The emperor is unforgettable for my kindness, but I have entered the rivers and lakes in this life, and I can't serve wholeheartedly, so I feel really guilty when I think about it." ”

Pan You is a straight man, and when he heard this, he sneered: "Master Ma is famous in the rivers and lakes, and he is much happier than us courtiers. Zhang Quanyue was afraid that Xiao Han would be unhappy, so he hurriedly interjected: "People have their own ambitions and can't be forced, even if the princess is so noble, isn't she also in the Tianshan faction?"

Sun Zhen is from the military, and he has always been used to coming and going, and he tapped his finger on the table and said: "We have time to talk about it in the future, but we still say that it is important to get down to business." Without waiting for Zhang Quanyue to respond, he continued: "The emperor is about to launch the Battle of Huaibei and prepare to recover the fourteen states of Huaibei that were previously taken by the Great Zhou. The emperor's intention is still the same as the last time Panyu was recovered, with the horse as the chief of staff, and the headquarters worked together to command, gathering 600,000 horses from 30 states to fight against Zhao and Song. Wu Yue Qian is also willing to send 50,000 troops to help, and the two countries will join forces to recover Huaibei in one go, and maybe they can fight to Tokyo. ”

Xiao Han was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue, he didn't expect Li Congshan's appetite to grow bigger and bigger, although he knew that he had always had the intention of taking back Huaibei, but he didn't expect him to have the intention of annexing the Great Song Dynasty. Greed is not enough to swallow the elephant, the last time in order to save Wu and the Tang Dynasty sent troops to confront the Great Song Dynasty, although the Southern Tang Dynasty had a slight upper hand after several battles between the two sides, it was still a defeat for both sides.

This proves that the strength of the Great Song Dynasty should not be underestimated, not to mention that the Great Song Dynasty generals are like clouds, and now it seems that they are also training desperately, I heard that the naval army has already been built, and the military comparison is not worse than that of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Once the two sides start a war in Huaibei, it will definitely be delayed for a long time, not to mention the suffering of the people, when the Northern Han Dynasty and the Great Liao will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob, the Central Plains will be in flames of war, and as soon as the Great Song Dynasty is destroyed, the Great Liao will take advantage of the situation and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the world will be in chaos.

Originally, Xiao Han was quite dissatisfied with the Khitan occupation of the sixteen states of Youyun, objectively speaking, Xiao Han was a typical nationalist, and he had always held an extremely contemptuous attitude towards foreigners, and now the conditions did not allow it, if possible, he had thought of leading thousands of ships to cross east to Fusang in one fell swoop to destroy the mongrel country that brought boundless pain to China in later generations.

Although he knew that the Chinese had always been an expert in civil wars and outsiders in foreign wars, he really did not want to see the Chinese killing each other, and it was this kind of fight of millions of people in the system. However, throughout Chinese history, the divided dynasties were also miserable for the people.

Now that the external troubles have not been eliminated, it is absolutely impossible to let the two tigers compete for great profits. Xiao Han had thought about this matter for a long time, but he had always been fighting in the rivers and lakes, and there was no specific policy to put into practice, at this time, when he heard that the Southern Tang Dynasty was going to use force against the Great Song Dynasty, a few strategies instantly jumped out of his mind, and he turned to Pan You and said: "May I ask Minister Pan, the Tang Dynasty finance may now support the three-year war?"

Pan You was startled and said: "What are you talking about? You want to fight for three years?" Seeing that Xiao Han was serious, Pan You shook his head and said: "A year and a half is not a problem, if it takes a long time, it will be impossible to make ends meet, the newly conquered land has not been dissolved, and the taxes will not be collected for a while, and the place where the soldiers have passed has been exempted from three years of service." The land area of the country is larger, the number of soldiers is also hundreds of thousands, and the salaries of officials at all levels are added. ”

Sun Zhen said disapprovingly: "With the strength of my Tang Dynasty, it won't take three months to defeat Zhao Song at all, and it won't cost much money at all." Zhang Quanyue glanced at Xiao Han cautiously, and said thoughtfully: "The emperor just wants to ask the master of the horse what his opinion is." ”

Xiao Han thought for a moment, slowly said his thoughts, and with his own deliberate play, the four of them talked in the living room until it was dark and Hao Yufei sent the meal.

After dinner, Zhang Quanyue went to visit Princess Wende Chai Xinyue on behalf of the Southern Tang government, he naturally did not go in, just greeted a few words outside, and then was sent by Chu Tianshu to the "presidential suite" of the Wudang faction to rest.

The Wudang faction fell into a sea of joy again, and in one day, the Southern Tang Dynasty canonized three princesses, and seeing this posture, the three princesses were intentionally married to the Marquis of Jingguo at one time, which made these Jianghu men very excited. The Wudang faction canteen added food in the evening, and Ye Zixuan rewarded everyone with the usual copper coins, and even the hundred guards who accompanied the three important ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty to the mountain received two copper coins.

The guards smiled and congratulated the three princesses in order, and then had a party with the Wudang disciples until the middle of the night before going back to sleep.

On the second day, after sending off the three important ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Xiao Han immediately sent people to inform the factory managers of various places about the matter, and the leaders of Daji held an enlarged meeting to discuss the wedding. Everyone was scrambling to go to Jinling to attend the wedding, and there was almost a fight in the conference room, and no one wanted to stay in Wudang Mountain.

Thinking that on the sixth day of October, I had to handle the marriage of Luo Beihong and Tu Yuxuan, and there were only less than four months in the middle, and I also got Emei Treasure Hunting, and the time in the middle was extremely tight, so I immediately decided to draw lots.

Bai Jiuxiao and Sima An were responsible for supervising, and each of the seven halls of Wudang sent a hall master to draw lots, but unfortunately Zhuang Tianyou of the Zhuque Hall and Lu Qin of the Tianzi Hall were selected to stay behind, and Xiao Han sent Wan Shicheng and Hao Yufei to be fully responsible for the daily affairs of the gang.

Xiao Han thought that her child was still young and was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the wind and rain, but Hao Yufei was extremely reluctant, and then asked Li Yueying to intercede, Xiao Han had no choice but to let her go with the child.

In addition to the daily logistics servants and the two halls left behind, Wudang sent all the staff out, in order to comfort the people of the two halls, Ye Zixuan rewarded each of them with ten taels of silver, and declared that there would be another reward after the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The two disciples thought they were unlucky, but they also had an extra harvest when they lost the east and the west, so they didn't have so many complaints.

The meeting agreed to set off in seven days, and ordered Xi Ziming, the general manager of the Nantang Garment Factory, to prepare all kinds of dresses, wedding dresses and other wedding materials, and to have a special person to pass the order.

The Wudang faction immediately took action, and Zhuang Tianyou began to deploy defenses, dispatching more than 1,000 fire and thunder to surround the entire Wudang Mountain, and adding several secret posts.

The women gather at Ye Zixuan every day to talk and laugh, only Sunan Xing is not very gregarious, and takes Fan Haochen to wander around the flowers in the mountains every day. After Chai Xinyue took the pill, the effect was obvious, and she was already raising well, but at this time, she was able to be helped by Hao Yufei to Ye Zixuan's house to speak.

After Xiao Han finished arranging, he immediately called Chu Tianshu to the house, took out a scroll of drawings and handed it to him, and instructed him to bring the disciples of the Dizitang to Junzhou to catch up with the system, stating that it must be completed in five days, regardless of the cost, and asked Ye Zixuan to give him a thousand yuan, and if he couldn't complete it, he would be severely punished.

Chu Tianshu looked at it for a long time and didn't see what it was, only to see countless long, short, square, round, and strip-shaped cylindrical things painted on it, and there were numbers written on the sides of each thing. Xiao Han repeatedly told that there must not be a slight mistake, and it will not be able to be assembled at that time.

Chu Tianshu knew that Xiao Han had invented a marbleball gun, so he naturally understood the reason, and immediately took people down the mountain overnight. Five days later, more than 100 people returned to the mountain with hundreds of sets of things on their shoulders and successfully completed the task of Xiao Han.

Later, I heard that Chu Tianshu was also a ruthless person, and after going down the mountain, he sent more than 60 disciples of the Dizitang to coax and even kidnap all the craftsmen in Junzhou City and the surrounding prefectures and cities to gather in Junzhou City, and spent a lot of money to hire the largest blacksmith shop in Junzhou City to make parts.

More than 200 craftsmen worked tirelessly, and all the parts were built in three days, and for the sake of insurance, Chu Tianshu built twenty more sets, and then distributed the craftsmen's wages and hired dozens of carriages to be escorted back to Wudang by the disciples of Dizitang.

There are many people and great strength, Xiao Han was invited to the council hall to check those parts, and was surprised to find that more than 90% of them were artificially made quite well, and tried to combine them, except for some small flaws in a few places, there was no major problem.

Especially the craftsman who makes the chain polishing is called a fine, Xiao Han originally had a headache for this thing, but he didn't expect that the wisdom of the ancient craftsmen should not be underestimated.

Chu Tianshu and the other disciples of the Dizi Hall watched Xiao Han pick and choose among the piles of parts, and in less than an hour, they formed a strange-looking thing, this thing was five or six feet long, more than half a person tall, with a pair of strange horns that curved inward in front, and an iron wheel in the front and back, with countless iron bars inserted in it, and the two wheels were connected by iron chains front and back, holding on top of two pointed gears, one large and one small.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what high-end weapons Xiao Han was going to make. It wasn't until Xiao Han finished assembling and standing up with satisfaction that Chu Tianshu asked, "Senior Brother in charge, what kind of weapon is this?"

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "This is not a weapon, but it is a sharp weapon for my Wudang faction to be in the limelight." ”
