Among the people I know so far, one person has become Bai Song's tentative target.
Bai Song seemed to have really cleared away his suspicions. In the following days, Mingjian Villa and the Holy Lotus Sect jointly investigated the imperial undercover.
And the guard also shifted the suspicion from Bai Song to the mysterious person who had eavesdropped on their conversation before.
Huo Fenghuang was looking for opportunities to go out alone every day. He took Bai Song's decoction and some meals and secretly went out to take care of Li Miao.
This move made Bai Song a little excited.
Bai Song wanted to lose the title of scapegoat to this woman.
This woman secretly researching the antidote to Baihua Pills has already turned against her, and secretly rescuing Li Miao is an irrefutable proof. She has been out every day these past few days, and as long as anyone pays attention, it will arouse suspicion.
After she cured Li Miao and sent him away, Bai Song had many ways to pass the blame to him.
In this way, Bai Song got rid of potential threats and could successfully meet the leader.
No matter how you think about it, this is a huge benefit.
Bai Song has made a decision and will only wait seven days to confirm that Li Miao is safe.
During this period, Bai Song needs more opportunities to perform so that he can be more valued by the leader when he meets him in the future.
On the third day, Mingjian Villa seemed to have a distinguished guest, and Mingjian Villa became lively again.
At noon, the protector summoned Bai Song, and Bai Song went to the appointment with a few pieces of drawing paper.
There were no outsiders at the lunch banquet today, only the Dharma Protector and an honored guest.
And this distinguished guest, Bai Song, knew him well. He turned out to be Mr. Mo, Qing'er's grandfather whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
As soon as he entered the room, Bai Song was stunned. He looked at Mr. Mo looking at him with a smile, and he didn't recover for a long time.
Mr. Mo stood up and waved to Bai Song: "Brother Bai, why are you still cold? Come and sit down quickly."
"Mo...Old Mo, why are you here?"
Mr. Mo was dressed in simple clothes, with a stooped body, stroking his beard and smiling.
His demeanor seemed to be the same as before, but after meeting him more than half a year later, the old man seemed much older, and his face was covered with wrinkles.
At this time, the protector stood up and waved to Bai Song: "Deputy Bai, it turns out that you and Mr. Mo are old friends. You didn't tell me earlier. Otherwise, how could we have suspected you?!"
Bai Song was still confused, hesitantly went over and sat down, looking at Mr. Mo a little weird.
In Bai Song's view, the people of the Holy Lotus Sect are more or less evil, and Mr. Mo's temperament does not match them at all. It is hard to imagine that Mr. Mo has such a close relationship with the Holy Lotus Sect.
Thinking about it again, Qing'er has become a holy envoy, and the Mo family's grandfather is naturally with the Holy Lotus Sect.
"We haven't seen each other for half a year. I didn't expect that Brother Bai would also join the Holy Lotus Sect. It seems that we have an inseparable fate."
Mr. Mo's words interrupted Bai Song's thoughts. The other party had already raised his glass, and Bai Song hurriedly raised his glass and drank it down.
"Old Mo, you are also from the Holy Lotus Sect..."
"Mr. Mo is from a well-known family. Even the leader of the church must be courteous when meeting him. He has not joined the church, but he is more reassuring than many believers." The protector explained at the side.
Mr. Mo shook his head humbly: "I'm an old man, and joining the Holy Cult will have no effect. We still need to give more opportunities to young people. Brother Bai doesn't know yet, but I recommended it to the leader not long after you left Mang County.
I married you, but there was no news from you after that. Unexpectedly, by chance, you finally joined the Holy Cult."
"You recommended me half a year ago?"
"Brother Bai is a prodigy in this world. There are few in the younger generation who can match him. He is exactly what the Holy Lotus Sect needs. And Brother Bai comes from a poor family and is looked down upon by the nobles. It is the right time for him to join the Holy Lotus Sect and make people look at him with admiration."
"So what if you join? If you join, you will be suspected."
Mr. Mo chuckled: "I have also heard about what happened a few days ago. But Brother Bai's performance did not disappoint me. After all, what the Holy Cult does is a great undertaking for a long time. There is no room for carelessness and suspicion.
It’s normal. But what happened before is over, Brother Bai, don’t worry about it anymore.”
"That's right!" the protector agreed, "Deputy Bai got the position of deputy envoy right after he joined the religion. This is the only time since the founding of the Holy Religion. This is a reputation that many believers dare not even dream of!"
"Just a deputy envoy...I don't like it!" Bai Song said coldly, "I joined the Holy Lotus Sect just to take revenge and kill Shu King Li Zhan. As for other things you are planning, I don't care at all. But I am a person like this.
I don’t like to be subordinate to others, especially being pointed out by a woman, and I don’t like to be doubted.”
"Brother Bai, you don't even like the deputy envoy? I wonder what position you want?"
"I want whatever position is bigger, and I can only do it under the leader."
The protector's expression changed after hearing this, and he sneered: "Haha... Deputy Ambassador Bai's appetite is too big, right? I just don't know if this ability is really practical?"
Bai Song didn't say much and took out the drawings he had prepared.
"Then let's see first, what position can I get with this drawing?"
Old Mo was curious. He knew that the things this boy took out were all novelties. I wonder what kind of treasures he would bring out today?
The drawings given by Bai Song were the exact crossbows he used.
The two looked at the drawings, and Bai Song clapped his hands.
Outside the house, White Bee appeared and handed Bai Song the crossbow that Bai Song had exchanged.
Bai Song took the crossbow, loaded it and aimed: "This is a crossbow. It is incredibly powerful and extremely fast. It does not require deliberate practice. As long as you understand how to use it, even an old farmer in the countryside can easily kill a warrior who has been practicing for more than ten years."
"
An old farmer in the countryside easily kills a warrior who has been practicing for more than ten years?
How is this possible?
The protector smiled and said: "The shape of this object is quite strange, but is it really as powerful as Deputy Bai said? Is this a question mark?"
Bai Song smiled disdainfully, aimed the crossbow at a random place, and gently pulled the trigger.
With a hiss, the crossbow arrow instantly penetrated the beam, and the arrow stuck firmly in it.
This arrow instantly attracted the attention of the protector. Thinking back to the moment just now, his expression became solemn.
The speed is indeed many times faster than ordinary bows and arrows, and the power is amazing. The key is that the person who shoots the arrow does not use any force. Unlike ordinary crossbows, which require long-term training and a strong physique.
With such an easy arrow, even the protector himself had no confidence that he could dodge it without defense.
After only one display, Mr. Mo and the protector realized that they were blind to Mount Tai. This thing was by no means as simple as imagined, and these drawings became heavy.
Mr. Mo and the Protector looked at each other, and the Protector stood up excitedly and asked, "How far can this thing shoot?"
"An arrow can hit a target within twenty feet without missing a target, and it can be lethal to a target thirty feet away."
"What?!"
The protector was shocked. The range of this shot was comparable to the power of the three-stone bow.
But how many people in the army can shoot a three-stone bow?
And the accuracy cannot be compared.
The crossbow in Bai Song's hand is simple. It doesn't take much effort to load it, and anyone can use it.
This kind of advantage is indescribable. If the two armies are fighting, wouldn't it be an overwhelming advantage if one's own team has a team of bows and arrows like this?
With this bow, why did they spend the five thousand taels of silver to have the sword made at Mingjian Villa?
This weapon can arm an army!
Mr. Mo looked at those drawings again and couldn't help praising the beauty. He didn't expect that bows and arrows could be made like this.
"Deputy Ambassador Bai, are you offering the drawings for the Holy Religion to manufacture?"
"Otherwise?!" Bai Song asked back, "I have nothing to offer when I come to the Holy Lotus Sect, so I use this drawing as a meeting gift. At the same time, I also want to tell you, don't always look at me with suspicion! I think I'm here
When I was fighting the Turks on the grassland, I relied on this crossbow to survive until now, and when I was in Li Jing's army, I never thought about dedicating this blueprint!"
Bai Song spoke righteously and seemed to still be brooding about what happened before.
The protector now felt that it was extremely true after hearing this. He felt that the boy in front of him had been greatly wronged, and at the same time he also felt deeply guilty about himself.
If this person was from the imperial court, shouldn't the imperial court have already obtained the drawings of this crossbow?
If the imperial court obtained such a blueprint, wouldn't the imperial army's combat power increase exponentially?
At that time, it would be even more difficult for the Holy Lotus Sect to succeed.
The protector pressed Bai Song's shoulder excitedly: "Deputy Envoy Bai, I wrongly blamed you! Deputy Envoy Bai's loyalty to the Holy Religion is simply a lesson to the world! I...I will punish myself with three cups of wine!"
The guardian couldn't help but downed three glasses of wine and kept admitting his mistake.
As everyone knows, this drawing is real, but how can the materials used in military crossbows be so simple?
This bowstring alone is not a product of this era. Trying to make it according to the drawings is a fool's errand.
If the current materials are used to forcibly imitate it, not to mention the power will be greatly reduced, and the barrel will explode after not being able to shoot a few arrows.
The other party didn't understand this, thinking that everything would be fine once they had the drawings, and they were extremely excited.
Mr. Mo sighed repeatedly: "Oh, I'm telling you, Mr. Bai is a genius in this world! Not only is he superb in medical skills, but he also knows the art of ingenuity. This is a treasure."
"That's right, I will immediately send an order for the craftsmen to make it on a large scale."
"No! This thing cannot be leaked. It can only be made by finding a more trustworthy craftsman."
"Old Mo is still thoughtful, I was careless."
Bai Song was enjoying himself on the side, watching their joy in turning waste into treasure, and ate the vegetables in silence.
At this moment, the protector's attitude towards Bai Song changed 180 degrees. After receiving the drawings, he toasted again and again.
"Deputy Envoy Bai presented such a treasure, and he is indeed a deputy envoy. It's just that the four holy envoys in the east, west, south and north are all women. Above the holy envoys are the left and right guardians, and above the guardians is the leader."
"How about I be the deputy leader?"
"Ahem..." The protector choked, but he didn't expect that this kid actually wanted to climb on top of him.
Before he could reply, Old Mo on the other side said something shocking: "I will discuss this matter with the leader, and I believe I can give Brother Bai a satisfactory answer."
"How can Mr. Mo have such dignity to discuss with the leader? I wonder when I can see the leader?"
"The leader's whereabouts are uncertain, but if he sees this blueprint, he will definitely come to see you as soon as possible."
