Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 2124 Borrowing Soldiers [3]

Xu You saw that Ning Ji was not interested in praising the new kang, but was praising the Ning family's seven-shot crossbow.

"The seven-shot crossbow is really easy to use, the accuracy is excellent, and as long as you maintain it according to the master's instructions, the mechanism in the crossbow will not get stuck. It is better than those that have been built for decades, my lord. I couldn’t believe it for a few times, the seven-shot crossbow was designed by the master in his free time, and it’s only been made for two years.” Xu You praised it sincerely, thinking that the seven-shot crossbow is very good.

But Ning Ji paused when he heard that, picked up the wine bottle, took a sip of wine, and said with a faint smile: "The Ning family started out as an ordnance maker, and all the sons of the Ning family learned how to make ordnance from elementary school. Naturally, the resulting crossbow will not have the problem of jamming."

In his last life, this seven-shot crossbow had been used for more than ten years, and Gu Jinli had improved it more than ten times. Naturally, it was impossible for the machine to get stuck, the arrows could not be fired, or the arrows would lose their aim.

Xu You looked at Ning Ji's face, why is it still indifferent?
Could it be that Ning Ji is really an expert outside the world, who has already practiced miraculous skills, no matter how high they are, they are considered to be nothing?

Seeing that Ning Ji was not interested in praising him, Xu You was talking about the eldest son of the Ning family: "Mr. Call me to have a reunion dinner with your husband?"

Ning Ji has been here for a few days, but he has not seen Mr. Ning, which makes Xu You feel very strange.

Ning Ji refused: "No, this time I came here for business, and my nephew also has errands to do, so there is no need to meet each other, there will be more opportunities in the future."

Hearing the word business, Xu You laughed... He just received news that Ning Ji came here this time to borrow troops and food.

Heh, wasn't it crazy last year, they begged again and again, but they couldn't see anyone, so they came here this year to borrow troops and food, how could he, Xu You, borrow so easily?
Just wait, don't break your spine, kneel down and beg for mercy, don't even think about borrowing a grain of food or a soldier!

But in terms of scheming, Ning Ji was much better than Xu You, he didn't ask Xu You, he just said to cooperate, and finally said: "We know that Lord Hou also has difficulties here, borrow if you can, and let it go if you can't. "

"Forget it?" Xu You was shocked: "If there is no food and no soldiers, how can we capture half of Dongqing's land?"

Ning Ji corrected him: "Master Hou is wrong. Those lands are not Dongqing's land, but the dowry of Princess Mingsheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that Dongqing has an affair with the Rong people, the Northwest is almost lost. Naturally, we have to give away Princess Mingsheng's dowry." If we want to come back, Dongqing can't stab us in the back, let's leave our fertile land to them."

Xu You admired what he said.

It's a pity that this Ning Ji doesn't go to the Ministry of Rites as chief official.

but……

"Great Yinzhou and other places, are they really from Great Zhou?" Xu You asked.

Ning Ji nodded, and said with a slight smile: "Of course it belongs to Dazhou. At that time, it was Dayin County. It got its name from the silver mine and was under the jurisdiction of the county guard."

But he sneered in his heart, and cursed secretly: Nouveau riche is nouveau riche, he doesn't even know this, and still wants to be emperor, what a joke!

Ning Ji is a noble person, he only admires the people he admires, and he just copes with Xu You, without any serious attention or fear.

It's just because he knows the end of the Xu family, it's just a pile of rotten meat trampled under his feet, it won't last long.

However, many things are different in this life. After being frightened, Ning Ji became more cautious. Before Xu You died and the Xu family collapsed, he would still give Xu You some face.

Therefore, he praised Xu You and Xu Liu a lot, and even gave Xu Liu an eight-shot crossbow.

Xu You was shocked when he saw the eight-shot crossbow in the box... Not only did this crossbow consist of eight shots, but it was also so exquisitely made that one person could set it up.

He immediately picked up the crossbow and pulled the trigger.

Whoosh whoosh!
The special small crossbow arrows shot out and hit the wall of the sand table made of green bricks, with such force that they penetrated the green bricks.

"Okay, okay, it's another great weapon, Mr. Ning is so kind." Xu You was very happy, and praised the eight-shot crossbow.

Ning Ji said very generously: "The Eight-Fat Liannu was not dedicated to His Majesty, and the Ning family did not tell any outsiders. If Lord Hou likes it, he can give the Eight-Fat Liannu the name of the Xu family."

"Really?" Xu You was very excited. If the news of the Xu family's repeated actions spread, it would definitely earn a wave of fame.

Those who have become a great cause must have a good reputation. Without a good reputation, how can they attract capable people from all walks of life to serve them, and how can they win people's hearts?

But Xu You doesn't know that some good names are not given to you, and you can live up to them.

Ning Ji stole the ordnance that Gu Jinli made in his previous life because the Ning family started out as an ordnance, and no one would question any sharp weapon they made, but did the Xu family ever make ordnance? ,
Dare to take a good name if you haven't done it before, and you won't be afraid of losing face in the end!
"Since that's the case, I would like to thank the Marquis." Xu You felt that Ning Ji sent eight rounds of crossbows to beg him to give food to others, so he said: "The matter of food and soldiers needs to be dispatched, and please Mr. Ning not to be too busy." Too anxious."

Ning Ji smiled and said: "No rush, Master Hou doesn't have to be too difficult."

And he really didn't want to deal with idiots like Xu You, so he said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Daying with Lord Hou this time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I'm going to find Young Master Zhong."

Without waiting for Xu You to ask, he explained by himself: "Uncle Zhong is His Majesty's confidant, and he has a higher status than Ming Cong in His Majesty's heart. He is going to be reserved to take over the household department. Let's bring the Zhong family over. It will be much easier to do things.”

After Xu You heard this, he naturally agreed.

However, he asked about the relationship between Ning Ji and Qin Sanlang: "But the master's?"

Ning Ji shook his head: "No, I met Qin Sanlang because of Mr. Lei Wu. They made seasonings and spices. The business is good. It is very profitable in Dayong and the desert countries. For business, there are always We've been back and forth... As for the deeper relationship, such as a certain and Lord Hou, Qin Sanlang's current status is not worthy."

After finishing speaking, I said in my heart: Don't blame the third master, the subordinate said this to protect you.

Xu You knew that Fifth Master Lei and Jiang Dahu from Tianfu County were sworn brothers, and also knew that Qin Gu Luotian and his family relied on Jiang Dahu to establish a relationship with Fifth Master Lei and start a business. After hearing Ning Ji's words, did they No doubt, but relieved.

"Brother Yu is in the poisonous insect ditch, where is he close to the bandits? It's not safe, but you want me to call him back to the camp to meet Mr.?" Xu You said kindly.

Ning Ji refused: "No, he was good at martial arts when he was young, and he wanted to be a general to make meritorious deeds. If he is called back, the bandits will make a surprise attack in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he will lose his chance to make meritorious deeds, but he will be angry."

He said again: "This dude has the worst temper. I will work hard to avoid angering him and ruining the relationship."

Xu You also agreed, sending Ning Ji away was to invite Mr. Qian Shan to discuss matters.

The next day, Ning Ji rode to Du Chonggou.

I saw Zhong Yu and Qin Sanlang.

This meeting place was chosen by Qin Sanlang.

Qin Sanlang said that Duchonggou is Jiang Wangang's place, and it is difficult for Xu's dead men to come in. It is safe to choose to meet here.

Zhong Yu has a good relationship with Qin Sanlang, and he is Qin Sanlang's soldier. Ning Ji came to look for Zhong Yu, bumped into Qin Sanlang and said a few words, no one would doubt it.

But when Ning Ji saw Qin Sanlang again, his heart was shaken a lot.

Compared with a few years ago, Qin Sanlang is much taller, his face is much more resolute, and his aura is more aggressive.
