I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man: 85. True and false, false and true

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters I am not such a man!

Walking on the way back, Mu Ling couldn't help but rode his horse closer to the car window. While no one was paying attention, he rolled over and got off the horse and got into the carriage.

The chariot wheel drove by on the bluestone official road without stopping at all.

Sit down in the car, took the wet towel handed by Han Guangzhao, and Mu Ling wiped his face vigorously.

Just a simple cleanup, the appearance has undergone a strange change, it is still a tall and deep nose, but the eyebrows are more slender, the complexion is fairer, and the whole person is more beautiful. It is a kind of youth. Uniquely beautiful.

Mu Ling was originally a young man in his early twenties, but now it seems that he is only sixteen or seventeen years old.

"It's really uncomfortable for these things to stick to your face." Mu Ling smiled, and her voice became clearer.

"Who made His Highness Six have to stop." Han Guangzhao smiled and handed a cup of tea.

Mu Ling was not busy drinking water, and asked anxiously: "Han Qing, is the Kaitian crossbow really so powerful?"

Han Guangzhao's face was heavy, "The previous news is indeed correct. This kind of open sky crossbow has a long range and strong range. It is the nemesis of my Iron Buddha. Pei Ling has retired from the court for many years. I thought he was trapped in the field and fighting. , I didn’t expect to have time to study this thing. It’s a confidant trouble."

Mu Ling looked sad, "What should I do?"

"Don't worry," Han Guangzhao smiled, and took out something from his sleeve.

The whole body is dark and smooth, and it is an easy-to-carry Kaitian crossbow.

Mu Ling was startled, and immediately beamed with joy, "It turned out to be a success. It's not worth your risk."

Han Guangzhao couldn't restrain his excitement, and laughed three times before saying: "It's just a fluke, it's really a blessing for me."

Before, they sent an emissary to contact Zhao Ding in Nanying and asked for the drawings of Kaitian crossbow.

After I got it, I immediately ordered the craftsmen with the team to research and develop imitations. I thought I could figure it out in three to five days, but I didn't expect the production to be extremely difficult. Several times it was unsuccessful.

In desperation, they found Zhao Ding again and wanted to obtain a sample.

As a result, Zhao Ding categorically refused. The production of Kaitian crossbows was strictly controlled by the Ministry of War, and each one had a clear number. The failed products were immediately destroyed, and there was no possibility of theft.

Even threats with a wife and children are useless, because this thing is impossible to complete, and it will only cost your life.

Seeing that the threat was useless, Han Guangzhao and others came up with a weird plan.

He went into battle himself and got one back!

This is an almost impossible task, but for the future of Beishuo, Han Guangzhao decided to take a risk.

He first ordered the skilled craftsmen accompanying the team to imitate a bow and crossbow according to the drawings. After Zhao Ding helped appraise the appearance, they were absolutely identical. Of course, the inner core was not so powerful.

At today's dinner, Han Guangzhao carried him close to his body, hiding it in his sleeves. After designing Pei Tuo to take out his portable open crossbow for testing, Han Guangzhao entered a high degree of tension. Every sentence was carefully designed, and Pei Tuo finally nodded and agreed to give him a try.

After shooting through the iron armor on the opposite side, he deliberately pretended to be unbelievable and staggered forward. In fact, he secretly exchanged the bow and crossbow hidden in the sleeves with the ones in his hands.

Fortunately, this new type of open crossbow from Da Zhou can be folded for convenience and carry around, and it is not bulky. He moved quickly and lightly, without being noticed. It was also Da Zhou who despised him, a scholar who did not know martial arts.

Han Guangzhao is not 100% sure about buying Zhao Ding even if he uses his wife and children as bait. Although the other party is now submissive, how can anyone tell in private? Zhao Ding has been full of hatred for Bei Shuo for a long time, and coupled with the exquisite object such as the Kaitian crossbow, it is too easy to move his hands and feet on the mechanism map.

But it's different with a physical object.

Even if Zhao Ding has manipulated the mechanism map, as long as you study it according to the actual object, you will be able to find the real key sooner or later. So at the beginning, they didn't put all their bets on Zhao Ding.

"The Pei family thinks he is arrogant, just paving the way for Han Qing's clever plan." Mu Ling sighed convincingly.

"The Nanxiang Houhui will openly display this thing in front of us, I am afraid it is not only for the blood, but also for deterrence." Han Guangzhao laughed, "In recent years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been fighting fiercely between the courts and the throne. I changed it several times, I'm afraid I don't want to go to war from top to bottom. So reveal this thing to deter me from waiting."

"And I bet that the production of this type of crossbow must be extremely difficult, otherwise the Great Zhou Army would have already prepared it."

"So back to China, we still have a long way to go."

Mu Ling nodded and fell silent.

Han Guangzhao checked his words and thoughts, and suddenly asked: "His Royal Highness is depressed, but because of what the princess said before."

"No." Mu Ling shook his head decisively.

Although he was firm in denial, Han Guangzhao knew it well, and smiled: "The two armies confront each other and use their own means. This polo battle is a major event between the two countries. It cannot be regarded as an ordinary competition. Moreover, our country The masters have not moved in the country, and the people of the Great Zhou are all elites of the Forbidden Army, which is unfair to us. It is reasonable to resort to some tricks."

"I know." Mu Ling was poked at the center of the matter, pretending to be impatiently shaking his head, "I am not depressed anymore, but I am a little regretful. After traveling south this time, I have no chance to see General Pei after all." /

Han Guangzhao smiled. The atmosphere of Beishuo has always respected heroes. Pei Ling succeeded in the first battle, and then stationed in northern Xinjiang for many years, allowing Beishuo's army to return home several times. Although the Beishuo government regarded him as the number one enemy, but they also admired him. The Mu Ling in front of him was the number one, who admired Pei Ling as much as possible.

"His Royal Highness need not be anxious, after all, one day we can meet on the battlefield."

"Although I want to compete with him on the battlefield, but I also hope to talk to him and discuss the world together." Mu Ling said heartily,

"Didn't you see Nanxiang Hou this time? I've seen half of General Pei."

Mu Ling was full of disdain: "Huh, Maotou, impulsive and brainless, is he also worthy of General Pei's nephew? It really slanders Pei's family style."

Han Guangzhao is speechless, you a prince Beishuo, why are you worried about the style of Pei's family?

Thinking about it, Han Guangzhao said: "When I see Nanxiang Hou staring at the princess's back, his eyes are very interesting. Most of them are in love with the princess, but they are not available. That's why he has such a bad attitude." /

When Qin Zhi left the stands, Pei Tuo and others had just passed by. The others did not squint, only Pei Tuo stared at his back for a long time. Han Guangzhao's sharp eyes immediately noticed.

Mu Ling hesitated for a moment and nodded: "The princess is so beautiful, so it's no wonder that she loves him."

Han Guangzhao smiled and said, "Haha, I think your majesty can rest assured." He has a hard personality, I'm afraid it's not easy to wait, and he didn't say a few words at the meeting, but he was very heartbroken.

"It's just...I don't want to marry the princess to the father of the emperor of the Great Zhou today. After three years, we will meet you, maybe there will be another wave of trouble."

"The so-called turbulence depends on the strength of the two countries." Han Guangzhao smiled, "If I prosper and have a strong army, let alone the princess, even if your Highness wants the Great Zhou Emperor to serve, you will be caught in your hand." /

Mu Ling was originally drinking tea, he squirted out after hearing the words, raised his head and stared at Han Guangzhao: "Han Qing, don't talk nonsense, I don't have the bad hobbies of the prince brother."

Han Guangzhao smiled and said: "The minister just remembered that His Royal Highness once vowed to the sky and made a great vow that one day Nan Chen Yulang would serve wine for his Tsing Yi. Now it seems that the appearance of the new king of Zhou is not inferior to that. The legendary Nanchen Yulang."

Mu Ling showed a toothache expression. The Northern Dynasty emperor was indeed born very well, no less inferior to the beauties in the palace. Thinking of the hobby of his prince brother, he felt a chill.

Thinking of Qin Zhi instead, Mu Ling felt uncomfortable for a while. Although he was reprimanded only two or three sentences, he was born with arrogance and had never been insulted like this before, so he was extremely embarrassed.

Even if he goes to Beishuo in the future, that person is also his own queen, and he might have to kneel and salute. Thinking about it makes it even more depressing.

Han Guangzhao talked and laughed, and kept touching the open crossbow in his sleeve with his fingers.

The most important goal is reached, it's time to leave Da Zhou!

Although the two bows and crossbows are exactly the same, they are not afraid of discovering them in a short time. Even if they do, they will only think that the bow and crossbow are broken. According to Zhao Ding, this kind of bows and crossbows are often broken because of their too delicate organ boxes.

It's better to leave as soon as possible.

The rest of the peace talks went smoothly, and Bei Shuo hardly cared about any disputes over money.

Three days after the polo match, the exchange of credentials was completed and the new contract became effective. Two more days later, a large number of betrothal gifts promised by Beishuo were delivered, and two hundred Iron Buddha horses were also on the way. After the handover between the two parties is completed, the two countries will not only conclude peace, but also select a city in the east to carry out business exchanges.

It can be said that in a meeting, both sides have achieved satisfactory results.

The Beishuo party quickly packed up and set off.

Standing on the top of the mountain north of the capital, looking at the caravan winding away at the foot of the mountain.

Pei Ling was silent, the cold wind lifted up her plain white robe, and her handsome facial features were painted with a touch of golden light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Standing for a while, Pei Tuo next to him couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, why bother to be so tortuous, what if they study the real mechanism blueprint?"

Without waiting for Pei Ling to answer, Zhao Ding next to him whispered: "It is the lord's kindness, otherwise how can my wife and children return safely?"

While speaking, he fell to his knees, gratitude in his heart, beyond words.

He was loyal to Pei Ling, so he reported the incident by secret letter the day after he was found.

Cao Qi and others urgently formulated a plan.

Not only must the Beishuo envoy to fetch the bamboo basket, but also rescue Zhao Ding's family.

Even for the latter purpose, Pei Ling did not hesitate to let Pei Tuo personally play a good show. That's right, the Kaitian crossbow that Han Guangzhao took away in the end was specially made by the Ministry of Engineering. Of course, the drawings were also matching.

Pei Ling bent down and helped Zhao Ding up.

"Every soldier in Northern Xinjiang is my subordinate and my brother. Everyone defends their homes and the country. They have endured enough pain. If they can’t save their wives and children, they will fight all their lives. What's the point? Even if the plan fails, the person must be redeemed." Pei Ling said in a deep voice.

Zhao Ding's eyes were full of tears, and the dozens of guards who followed him couldn't help but move.

Cao Qi shook his fan and smiled and said: "The lord sympathizes with me. It is our blessing. But the emperor is willing to agree to such a dangerous plan?"

After all, opening a crossbow is very important. Such things as agencies are all probabilistic. What if Bei Shuo gets rid of the **** and fiddles with the correct mechanism against the wrong mechanism map? The best guarantee is to keep them from getting any clues directly.

"The emperor has a hill in his chest." Pei Ling smiled. In daily conversations, he had already seen that Qin Nuodi Beishuo was determined to take it, and he was just waiting for an opportunity.

With the effort to speak, the long line of the envoy has completely disappeared from the end of sight.

Pei Ling and his party also went down the mountain and returned to the camp of Perak.

Dai Deyao and Ren Jinglei led the crowd to greet them.

Pei Ling entered the room and asked, "Can you find out that Fang Yuan's heels?"

Ren Jinglei took off the outer cloak for him in a familiar manner, and replied: "There are already some eyebrows. It's just not certain."

With such a polo technique, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary officials to escape. In this era, playing polo is the exclusive entertainment of the nobles. It is very simple to play polo. But if you want to play well, it is definitely a money-burning business. Vast venues, high-quality steeds, and good enough opponents are indispensable.

The qualities Fang Yuan displayed were really not like ordinary junior officers.

So after the polo match, Pei Ling immediately asked Ren Jinglei to test it.

"This matter can be done slowly, and you don't have to be too impatient." Ren Jinglei was raised since he was a child. Knowing that this subordinate has a knack for Nan Chen's people, Pei Ling comforted.

"The subordinates know how to measure, and the general doesn't need to worry." Ren Jinglei responded with a smile.

Knowing that this adopted son and apprentice is much better than Pei Tuo's unconscious nephew, Pei Ling didn't say much.

***

Qin Nuo swiped a big pen in the study and quickly reviewed the memorial.

It has been a few months since I succeeded to the throne, and I have gradually become more comfortable with this job. The efficiency has been improved, and it takes only two hours to complete all the reviews in normal days.

Huo Youjuan helped to prepare cinnabar by the side. This rich red ink of cinnabar is specially used for imperial pen endorsement. After preparing for a moment, Huo Youjuan couldn't help but said: "I don't understand how the Beishuo envoy is so good this time."

After the polo match, the remaining peace talks between the two sides proceeded surprisingly smoothly. Beishuo accepted the various suggestions and bargaining put forward by the big Monday party with almost no objections. Especially with regard to the terms of setting up a trade town, he agreed very happily.

The two parties exchanged credential letters with amiably and politely said goodbye to each other.

"The main purpose is fulfilled, of course I can't wait to return to China." Qin Nuo smiled and said without concealing what Pei Ling had reported before.

Huo Youjuan was surprised, "Why did the emperor agree to let General Pei leak the map? Even if the drawing was manipulated, it is easy to correct the drawing with the entity." Although the one that was stolen and replaced by Han Guangzhao was only a fake, but In the future, on the battlefield, the soldiers used by Dazhou soldiers will definitely not be fakes, and some will be taken away and settled in Beishuo.

"The development of the Kaitian Crossbow, a major project of the Ministry of War, cannot be completely concealed, and once it is put on the battlefield, it will lose more and be copied sooner or later. It will be possible to mislead them with fake drawings for several years, This is the best result."

If Bei Shuo did not succeed this time, he would definitely not give up. In the past one or two years, he would definitely make frequent moves, insert spies, and buy artisans, which would be annoying. The research and development of the Kaitian Crossbow was returned to the Gewu Division. In the Gewu Division, Qin Nuo still has several important scientific research projects. Even all sorts of conspiracies can't succeed, if Bei Shuo dog jumps the wall hurriedly, the war started within the past two years will be terrible. Qin Nuo's overall plan will be in chaos.

So just let them get a fake, so that they can feel at ease for the time being.

"There were no mistakes in the previous agency drawings, but the Ministry of Engineering of the Great Zhou worked hard and studied it for three or four years before it succeeded. Beishuo's mathematics and craftsmanship are far inferior to my dynasty. Facing the fake drawings, I studied four or five Years are normal." Qin Nuo said briefly.

In fact, if it weren't for Qin Nuo's golden finger in the middle, the research of Kaitianbow would not have been successful until now.

"Let them do more work, and also consume some energy and financial resources, so as not to hit my frontier ideas all day."

Pei Ling proposed this plan. In fact, what he fancyed was Qin Nuo's mind. Three to five years later, he will start to fight Beishuo to determine the victory or defeat in one battle, instead of continuing to fight like this for a long time.

Although the two are not open and honest, they have a tacit understanding between each other.

Huo Youjuan laughed, "Promote yourself and others, this is Beishuo so big, sending two hundred Iron Buddha war horses, wouldn't it be the same idea, right?"

"It's really possible." Qin Nuo looked at the Zhezi in his hand, feeling a little stomachache.

The zhezi was sent by the Ministry of War. As soon as the two hundred iron Buddha statues were delivered, they were taken away in a hurry by the Ministry of Defense. Immediately after submitting this paper, he requested to allocate a special site and deploy manpower to raise and study its breeding methods.

One opening is eighty thousand taels of silver. This is only the cost of building the site. The next step is to recruit craftsmen, place guards, test horses... everything costs money.

Where are two hundred war horses? Two hundred little ancestors who burned money! Bei Shuo wouldn't really have the same idea as himself.

Use these partial door techniques to consume the court's financial and material resources, so as to achieve the purpose of pulling back legs.
