Geng Chunqiu thought hard for a while, but could not think of a suitable candidate.
So he told Emperor Chu about this matter.
The Emperor of Chu was very much in favor of his idea, so Liu Taiqi, who was sent to the Wu Dynasty as an envoy, had a new task, which was to contact the three-bow crossbow.
Of course, people here in Dachu don't know the full name of the three-bow bed crossbow.
Soon, Liu Taiqi packed up, took more than ten followers, and headed north to the Wu Dynasty.
After the land route, we took the water route, and then we arrived at the Nanguan Pass of Wu Dynasty.
…
Wu Dynasty, Beijing...
The Tibetan Soldier Valley in the back mountain.
During the recent period, Jiang Ning would come here to study firearms when he had nothing to do.
Because I have never been exposed to it in my previous life, I can only explore it on my own.
Zhentian Lei, also known as Cannabis Cannon Two-Kick, succeeded after repeated failures.
On this day, he suddenly had a whim, which was to tie the modified Thunderbolt to the big arrow of the three-bow crossbow.
Originally, the three-bow bed crossbow was very powerful, and coupled with the thunder, it is conceivable that the power will be increased.
Jiang Ning was eager to try, so he lengthened the fuse, lit it, and then asked the soldiers to shoot the big arrow.
In an instant, the big arrow fell from the air and pierced the ground. Then there was a deafening tearing sound, and at the same time, a big hole was opened in the ground.
Gunpowder smoke fills the air...
Its power made Wei Qiong and others stunned!
Damn it, can this still happen?
With this thing, there is no need for a siege truck to break the city gate!
Be obedient...
Old Yang Hui had a ghostly expression on his face, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, isn't this power too terrifying?"
Jiang Ning also didn't expect that the power would be so huge. He smiled and said: "It's okay, just so-so..."
He pretended to be bold.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Hui began to flatter him.
However, he was interrupted by Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning now has no intention of listening to these false words.
The combination of Big Arrow and Zhentian Lei will definitely make everyone surrender in this era, but Jiang Ning still feels that it is not enough. To put it bluntly, he wants to get some real cannons...
Even if you can't get a big cannon, it would be good to get some earthen cannons like those you used to fight the Japanese.
Jiang Ning knew that no one in the Wu Dynasty could help him, so he relied entirely on his own research.
Of course, he is not willing to let others master his current skills. Once mastered, it will most likely pose a threat.
After all, people’s hearts are not as old as they used to be!
When Jiang Ning got here, it could be said that he had never truly trusted anyone!
He only believes in himself!
He experimented for a while longer before returning to the capital.
At this time, it was already evening, a simple meal...
Then he called Li Muzi over.
After Li Muzi saluted Jiang Ning, he stood aside.
Jiang Ning looked at Li Muzi with a smile on his face, "We haven't seen you for a few days, you are beautiful again!"
Li Muzi answered, "Really?"
Jiang Ning nodded, then opened his arms, "Okay, let's get down to business, I called you here today because I want to know about Da Chu's situation!"
"Their reaction after a defeat!"
Li Muzi said: "Looking at the situation in the country, there is no intention of raising an army. It is in absolute silence!"
Absolute silence?
Jiang Ning naturally did not believe that the Chu army could treat it as nothing after suffering a loss.
"If I guess correctly, things are calm on the surface, but there are already undercurrents surging behind the scenes!"
Jiang Ning said slowly.
Li Muzi responded, "It's not impossible, but don't worry, Mo Pavilion is always monitoring every move in Da Chu. If there are special circumstances, I will report to you as soon as possible!"
Jiang Ning nodded, "Okay... pay attention to safety!"
At the moment, Jiang Ning seems to have only two opponents left, one is the Great Western Dynasty and the other is the Great Chu. As for the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is sandwiched between the two great powers, it has no sense of existence, so he does not pay much attention to it.
Li Muzi informed Jiang Ning and left in a hurry.
Afterwards, Jiang Ning looked at Wu Dynasty's new territory for a while before going to Zining Palace to rest.
I played three-in-three-out with Pothos.
But I was so ecstatic that I was favored by the green radish, and I reached the peak of my life many times.
…
Time is like running water.
Seven or eight days flew by.
On this day, Liu Taiqi appeared under Nanguan as an envoy.
He explained his identity and raised his banner high.
As the saying goes, if the envoy is not killed, the Wu Dynasty soldiers on the tower will put away their arrows.
Not long after, Xiao Zhanming appeared on the tower and looked down at him, "Are you Liu Taiqi, the envoy of Da Chu?"
Liu Taiqi raised his head and responded: "Yes..."
And took up the festival symbol of identity.
When Xiao Zhanming saw this, he waved his hand, "Switch!"
The soldiers below the tower opened the door as quickly as possible.
Welcome Liu Taiqi.
They are innocent, so there is no need to hate them.
As the commander-in-chief of the Wu Dynasty, Xiao Zhanming greeted Liu Taiqi with the etiquette expected of a big country.
After entertaining them, they ordered a cavalry to escort them to the capital.
With the military escort of the Wu Dynasty, the journey was smooth.
Xiao Zhanming murmured, "We didn't wait for Chu's army, but a messenger came. What does this Chu Emperor mean?"
The deputy general next to him said: "Maybe he is afraid of our Wu Dynasty army!"
"Come to seek peace?"
"It looks like it's nine out of ten!"
"Hahaha...we haven't even fought yet, and they're here to surrender?"
"Don't forget, Shi Gandang and Lei Yi are not idle there!"
"These two young men are really capable!" Lieutenant General Zheng Dalong stroked his beard and sighed softly.
Xiao Zhanming smiled and said nothing, just staring quietly in the direction where Liu Taiqi and the others left.
At the same time, the news that the Chu envoy had arrived in Wu Dynasty reached Jiang Ning's ears first.
After hearing this, I was a little surprised. It can be said that I never expected it.
Da Chu actually sent an envoy.
Tsk…
It’s really a bit unconventional!
Jiang Ning called Prime Minister Yang Hui and said directly: "Prime Minister, what do you think of Da Chu sending envoys?"
Yang Hui frowned and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, I didn't expect them to do this, but having said that, no matter what I say now, it is just speculation!"
"I think it's better to wait until you see it before drawing any conclusions!"
Jiang Ning thought about it and thought it made sense, "Okay...then I'll listen to you. Let's wait until we meet this person named Liu Taiqi!"
Then again, if Da Chu hadn't sent an envoy, I'm afraid he would have let Xiao Zhanming lead the army southward before long.
Because in his opinion, there must be a battle between Da Chu and Wu Dynasty. Since it is unavoidable, sooner rather than later is better.
Just like that, a few days passed by in a flash. Liu Taiqi arrived at the capital of Wu Dynasty. Looking at the majestic city gate, his heart trembled violently... It seemed that Wu Dynasty was more powerful than they imagined.
Prime Minister Yang Hui was responsible for welcoming them, which also showed that the Wu Dynasty valued Da Chu.
But even so, Liu Taiqi still felt that Emperor Wu should go out of the city in person to greet him...
