Chapter 723 You Can't Always Be Your Eyes

Li Jing's expression was very sincere, and Leng Feng couldn't bear to continue cheating Zhang Zhongjian.

There's no way, Li Jing, because of a little problem in the ninth year of Wude, since Li Shimin came to power, he has been as honest as a cat, never doing anything out of the ordinary.There were too many discussions about him outside, so he simply tore down the screen wall of the mansion gate.

The screen wall is used to hide the privacy in the mansion, Li Jing did this, so that no one could see him sleeping on the bed.

Such an honest person actually wants to take risks for his brother now.Even Leng Feng couldn't help feeling the deep friendship between the Three Heroes.

Zhang Liang looked at Leng Feng and sighed when he saw Leng Feng nodding secretly.

"Mr. Wei, how can we say that we are colleagues, you still have to give your face, but you know, it is not a simple matter to grant weapons privately, all the officers in the army."

In the end, Zhang Liang confessed the matter.

Li Jing is also a soldier, so how could he not understand what Zhang Liang meant.

The army is different from the civil servants, it pays attention to the sharing of interests, and sometimes the leader will deliberately take less in exchange for the loyalty of his subordinates.

"Don't worry, Lord Xun, I will pay a satisfactory price for the military expenses of the shipyard and the East China Sea Navy!"

It was only at this time that Zhang Zhongjian understood the confusion among the three of them, and hurriedly stopped Li Jing: "Pharmacist, you can't pay for this money! My brother has troubled you for so long, why?"

Li Jing said leisurely: "Brother, there is no need to say much. I, Li Jing, are able to have what I am today. The gift from my brother back then is the main reason. Now that my brother is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch? If you continue to evade, I am afraid that I will not even be able to enter the house when I return to Chang'an." ah!"

Zhang Zhongjian choked up and couldn't speak, he could only feel that being able to worship Li Jinghongfu in this life was the luckiest thing, and secretly made up his mind that if he made a fortune in the future, he must repay Li Jing's aid a hundredfold.

After receiving Li Jing's promise, Zhang Liang smiled happily and said, "That's easy to say, how many people does Brother Zhang have? How many weapons are needed?"

Seeing Zhang Liang's completely different appearance, and seeing Leng Feng's calm expression, Li Jing knew he had been tricked.

However, he has nothing to say about this. After all, gunpowder weapons are the most advanced forbidden weapons in the Tang Dynasty. Leng Feng and Zhang Liang gave Zhang Zhongjian one, and he was involved in a huge lawsuit.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Zhongjian walked to the side to discuss the issue of weapons and equipment. Li Jing couldn't help but asked Leng Feng: "Master Protector, if I didn't show up just now, would you insist that you won't give your brother gunpowder weapons?"

Zhang Liang has been watching Leng Feng's face from the beginning to the end, how could Li Jing not see it.

Leng Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Even if you don't speak up, I will eventually let go. After all, he is your brother, so I will sell you face anyway. However, Zhang Liang is not familiar with you, so there is no need to take risks for you. Let him get some extra benefits. After all, he is the one who handed over the ship to you, not the emperor."

Li Jing nodded, he was not surprised by this result.

Some things, even if money is involved, as long as you talk about it, there is no grievance.

The two walked in the direction of the warehouse, and when they reached the edge of the warehouse, Li Jing pointed to Zhang Jingguo who was following Zhang Liang and Zhang Zhongjian: "What should I do?"

When the three of them contacted Zhang Zhongjian, Sima Wuli decided to follow. From the beginning to the end, Zhang Jingguo kept recording their words and deeds, but he kept silent.

Their transaction was recorded by Zhang Jingguo, and it might appear on the emperor's desk in seven or eight days.

Leng Feng smiled slightly: "Leave it to me."

Wuli Sima is just a horse, and it is easy to deal with.

Zhang Jingguo had just finished recording the exchange between Zhang Liang and Zhang Zhongjian, and was about to go back to his study to write an urgent report to the emperor.

He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but he found that the protector of the country was also walking in the same direction as him, and they met together at the intersection by coincidence.

But it just so happened that he also had some questions to ask the Duke Protector.

"Duke Protector, I have something I want to ask you."

Leng Feng, who was walking beside Zhang Jingguo, turned his head: "What's the matter?"

Although he pretended to be calm on his face, Leng Feng was already happy in his heart.For a novice Wuli Sima like Zhang Jingguo, it is most likely to get confused when encountering such a thing.

Zhang Jingguo stood still and thought for a long time before saying, "Excuse me, the gunpowder weapon is an artifact of the Tang Dynasty. Why are you and Duke Xun willing to sell it to pirates like Zhang Zhongjian? I heard that the gunpowder weapon was invented by you." Yes, the prohibition related to gunpowder weapons is also set by you. But the more this is the case, the more confused the humble official will be."

Leng Feng laughed loudly, and walked with his arms around Zhang Jingguo's shoulders, saying, "If you don't understand it, it's fine if you don't understand it. When you figure it out, you're not the Wuli Sima, but the leader of the army."

Zhang Jingguo was even more puzzled: "My lord, what do you mean by this?"

Leng Feng took him to the study room, and after the two sat down, Leng Feng said: "Because of strategy! What does Zhang Zhongjian want gunpowder weapons for? Isn't it to deal with the remnants of Japan and Koryo? There is a saying that the enemy of the enemy is our friend Zhang Zhongjian and our enemies are on the same page, so if we can provide them with convenience, we will naturally provide it."

"But, you can't give them gunpowder weapons! We can use such weapons, why should we give them?"

Leng Feng didn't feel that Zhang Jingguo was long-winded at all. Facts have proved that it is very interesting to fool a newcomer.

"That involves another common saying - a dead fellow is not dead. Since we have decided to send troops to attack Fuyu Kingdom together with Zhang Zhongjian, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to let them charge forward with full confidence than to send our soldiers to die some?"

Zhang Jingguo thought about it, and suddenly realized that he was really stupid, and he didn't even think of this.

When he looked at Leng Feng again, he couldn't help admiring him even more, no wonder, at about the same age, he was just a little Wuli Sima, and he was already a prince handed down from generation to generation.Among other things, this kind of scheming cannot be achieved by practicing for a few more years.

"So that's the case, it's a lowly position and stupid! So, the protector, the lowly position's urgent report to His Majesty?"

Leng Feng nodded: "The emergency report is still to be issued, but you have to write my words into your guesses about our behavior, as well as the current situation of the shipyard. Wuli Sima's duty is to be the emperor's eyes , but you can’t just look at it all the time, you have to think about it. Otherwise, when will your work of Wuli Sima be a head!”

When he said this, Leng Feng's tone was full of hatred for iron.

This made Zhang Jingguo very ashamed.
