Liu Fengkui is an extremely troubled person.

On the one hand, he considered himself to be a loyal minister of the imperial court and had no second thoughts about the officialdom.

So on the Guizhou Road, he knew that he was the target of public criticism and that no one could hide his actions, but he still worked diligently and tried every possible means to find out some of the situation on the Guizhou Road and then report it to the police.

He worked hard to develop the power of the Imperial City Division on the Guizhou Road. Not to mention, he actually achieved some results. Even the Statistics Division Zhiqiuyuan hid some things from him.

This alone made Wu Ke admire him immensely.

As expected, he is an old-timer in this industry, and he does have many unique things that are worthy of serious study and learning.

But on the other hand, he has witnessed how Guizhou Road has developed step by step from an extremely poor place in the past few years. The people have no roof to cover their bodies and no ground to build their footprints.

Slowly the family became rich.

Nowadays, in Guizhou, a place with seven mountains, two rivers and one farmland, the price of rice is actually a few points lower than that in Bianliang, which is amazing.

You must know that Bianliang was the capital of the Song Dynasty. The whole world worked hard to supply supplies there. The price of food there was the lowest in the world. But the difficulty in being able to do this on the road to Guizhou is not

One and a half stars.

But Xiao Cheng just did it.

Moreover, Xiao Cheng also raised an army of tens of thousands.

These tens of thousands of troops are also the place where Liu Fengkui is most hostile to Xiao Cheng.

From other aspects, Xiao Cheng is definitely a loyal minister that is hard to find in the world. He governed the place, educated the barbarians, developed the economy, and extended the rule of the Song Dynasty to places that had never been touched before.

At present, Guizhou Road can truly be regarded as the territory of the Song Dynasty.

But from the perspective of controlling the army, Xiao Cheng is definitely a man with double intentions.

Now there are more than seven armies on the road to Guizhou, with a total number of nearly 30,000 people, but they only have eyes on Xiao Futai and never know what the imperial court is.

Thirty thousand tigers!

Liu Fengkui is not an ordinary eunuch. Although he has been engaged in intelligence for half his life, he also knows the military.

He knew the difference between the army and the army very well.

He also spent a lot of time in the Northwest.

The 30,000 troops under Xiao Cheng's command will never lose to Guang Rui's army in terms of eliteness.

With such an army in hand and controlling such a huge land in the southwest, do you think the court can avoid being suspicious of him?

Liu Fengkui was confused about the information he sent to Bianliang, and became as confused as he was. Sometimes the information he sent was about Xiao Cheng's bad deeds, and sometimes he was speaking for Xiao Cheng.

Now, even he himself is a little confused as to what Liu Fengkui's position is.

Sometimes Liu Fengkui was in a lot of pain, wishing he could be just like that idiot Hu Yi. Hu Yi just found a path and walked all the way to the dark side.

From the beginning, I thought Xiao Cheng was not a good person, and now I have not changed my original intention. I have spared no effort to fight against Xiao Cheng.

If he opposes something that Xiao Cheng vigorously praises, he will destroy it; if Xiao Cheng opposes something with all his strength, he will praise it greatly.

Although I have encountered failure and humiliation over and over again, I still enjoy it.

It seems that this has become an indispensable thing in his life.

This time Liu Fengkui came to Dali and had nothing to do with Bianliang.

It is impossible for Bianliang to support Gao Yingde's attempt to usurp the throne and rebel. This involves the legitimacy of the inheritance of the throne. If Bianliang recognizes Gao Yingde's legitimacy, then one day others will usurp the Zhao family's throne.

Jiangshan, isn’t it also reasonable?

So this time Liu Fengkui came to Dali entirely because he was entrusted by Xiao Cheng.

His purpose is to make Gao Yingde believe that Bianliang supports him. Just go ahead and do it boldly. If you succeed, as long as you cooperate with Bianliang to take down Xiao Cheng, Bianliang will definitely recognize him.

This is a reassurance for Gao Yingde.

If Gao Yingde succeeded in gaining the support of Bianliang, many domestic opposition forces would also cease.

Liu Fengkui went all the way to Dali.

With his identity, it was naturally easy for him to meet Gao Yingde.

Then, the speed of Gao Yingde's rebellion process immediately accelerated greatly.

As everyone knows, every step Gao Yingde takes is a step toward the abyss of hell.

"Ambassador Liu, Futai asked me to bring you a letter to say thank you for your hard work." Wu Ke walked over with a smile on his face, picked up the wine bottle on the ground without noticing anything, and took a big sip from the spout.

Liu Fengkui glanced at the other party and just rolled his eyes.

In the past few years, he had battled wits and courage with the guy in front of him. He had fought and cooperated. Both sides knew very well how much each other weighed!

"Today Gao Xiangguo went on a killing spree." Wu Kedao said: "Master Dong escaped from Shanchan Mansion. Gao Xiangguo was so furious that he imprisoned the whole Dong family. Today, they were executed in the execution ground. The entire Shanchan Mansion was as silent as cicadas. Ambassador Liu,

That’s the Dong family!”

Liu Fengkui sighed, looked at Wu Ke and said: "Director Wu, ever since Xiao Futai thought of annexing Dali, thousands of people have died."

Wu Ke sneered: "Ambassador Liu, have we ever killed anyone?"

Liu Fengkui stared at Wu Ke, "I won't kill Boren, Boren will die because of me. There is nothing wrong with the world, but because of Xiao Futai, there will be trouble. Gao Yingde governs Dali, and the weather is smooth. Although he is domineering,

But he is still considered diligent and loyal. Ever since he was tricked by Xiao Futai, he has been running wildly on the road of rebellion and cannot look back."

"If you don't have this ghost in your heart, no matter how much others provoke you, you won't go down this road!" Wu Xiaoxiao said: "Ambassador Liu, look at how many people have persuaded Xiao Futai to set up his own business in the past few years and join the Xiao family.

One south and one north, the two echo each other to create a huge empire for the Xiao family, but has Futai ever put any thought into it?"

"But they didn't punish those people!" Liu Fengkui said in a dull voice.

Wu Ke laughed.

"What are Futai going to do next?" Liu Fengkui finally asked.

"Gao Xiangguo has gone crazy. In the past few days, Shanchan Mansion has killed nearly a thousand people." Wu Kedao said: "I guess he will force the emperor to abdicate soon and take the top position himself."

"Master Dong is in Weichu Mansion, I'm afraid he will raise troops soon!" Liu Fengkui said: "With Master Dong's extensive contacts, I'm afraid Tengchong Mansion, Nongdong Mansion, and Lanxi County will all respond."

"That's why Gao Xiangguo took the lead and ascended the throne first. Futai estimates that he probably did it by forcing the emperor to abdicate, in order to gain more nominal legitimacy."

Liu Fengkui nodded. "Gao Yingde still has means. Once he can stabilize the situation after taking the throne, he might be able to do something great! Now, half of the eight prefectures, four counties and four towns in Dali support

his."

"The other half are against him!" Wu Kedao said: "Ambassador, there is one thing that only you can do, because now, only you can enter the palace after his rebellion."

"What do you want me to do?" Liu Fengkui asked.

Wu Ke smiled and clapped his hands, and several servants came in carrying a box.

"What is this?" Liu Fengkui asked.

Wu Ke said nothing, opened the box, took out something from inside, and placed it in front of Liu Fengkui.

Looking at the thing in front of him, Liu Fengkui was stunned and didn't know why.

But as Wu Ke put everything in front of him, he was finally moved.

"This is?"

"The strong crossbow is as powerful as the Eight Ox Crossbow." Wu Ke said with a solemn expression: "After several years of testing in the weapons room, it was finally successful. Ambassador, you also know that in the past, heavy weapons such as the Eight Ox Crossbow

, because it is too bulky and difficult to carry, so it is generally only used as a weapon for city defense. It is too inconvenient to use it for offense. But now"

"Can these be assembled into something comparable to the Eight Bull Crossbow?" Liu Fengkui asked in a trembling voice.

Wu Ke waved his hand, and the servants who had just entered immediately started to assemble the parts one by one with quick hands and feet.

A quarter of an hour later, a crossbow machine appeared in front of Liu Fengkui.

A man held a crutch-like object and used it as a protruding part of the crossbow. He turned it vigorously. As he turned, the crossbow string opened step by step.

As the man's movements became slower and slower, his face became redder and redder, and it was obvious that he had exerted himself to the extreme.

With a slight jamming sound heard in his ears, the man finally stopped, and then another man installed an arrow about one meter long.

Handing a small hammer to Liu Fengkui, Wu Ke smiled and gestured.

Liu Fengkui looked at the big trees in the direction pointed by the arrow, and suddenly hit the hammer on the machine with force.

With a buzzing sound, the arrow flew out at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye. When it appeared again the next moment, a big hole had been cut out of the middle of the big tree opposite. The crossbow arrow continued to move forward, seizing the opportunity without losing its remaining power.

With a loud sound, it hit the big tree the next moment, and then it stopped.

"The range is two hundred steps, which is much worse than the Eight Ox Crossbow!" Wu Ke smacked his lips and said.

"It's already amazing!" Liu Fengkui's eyes went straight, "The key is that he can string it up very quickly! It's much faster than the Eight Ox Crossbow. When fighting against the Liao soldiers, this crossbow was used as the first wave.

The arm crossbow is the second wave, and the enemy-defeating bow is the third wave. The Liao army will be defeated! In the past field battles, we always suffered a disadvantage, that is, the long-range weapons are quite insufficient. Although the divine arm bow is powerful, its range is too short after all.

In a confrontation with the Liao army, after one arrow is fired, the enemy cavalry is approaching. If you want to shoot a second arrow, the infantry in the formation will have to pay a bloody price to buy them more time."

Looking at Liu Fengkui's gaze, Wu Ke spread his hands and said: "Ambassador Liu, this thing is too expensive to make. At present, one such thing is worth nearly three hundred guan, and it is impossible for the imperial court to afford it."

"Can't you present the drawings to the court?"

Wu Ke snorted coldly: "Ambassador, can you make sure that we give this thing to the court and won't let the Liao people get it?"
