Chapter 220

When Lao Zhang heard this, his eyes showed a gleam, and he said, "Beitangmo, I promise to make it within three days."

Lao Hu also showed that expression of finally being able to see the light again on his face and said: "Xiao Mo, thank you."

Beitang Mo patted his head in embarrassment, and said, "Brother Hu, this is what I promised you."

At this moment, Beitang Mo noticed that the cannon body had changed from being ten meters in front of him to being behind him.This would be fatal on the battlefield!Beitang Mo turned around and said to Zhang Kuo, "Brother Zhang, can you add a fixed tripod under the gun body, so that the gun body will not recede so much due to the recoil."

Appreciation flashed across Zhang Kuo's eyes, and he replied respectfully, "Cousin Bei, don't worry, I will install a tripod on the cannon within three days."

Beitang Mo smiled and said, "Brother Zhang Kuo, you can call me Xiao Mo just like Brother Zhang Liao!"

Zhang Kuo was taken aback first, and said, "Xiao Mo, I will definitely manage it."

Lao Hu took out a pair of bows from behind and handed them over, saying: "This is a bow I made specially for you. Although its effect is not as good as that of the God Arm bow, its effect is definitely better than that of ordinary bows." sharp."

Beitang Mo took over this delicate bow and fell in love with it immediately, it was very suitable for him.

His body is not strong, but as thin as ribs, and his strength is naturally not much stronger.

Lao Hu handed over another bag of arrows and said, "The ones with a small bag are filled with gunpowder, and the ones without it are ordinary bows."

Beitangmo couldn't wait to pick up an ordinary bow and try it out. Without much effort, he drew the bow and shot it towards the tree not far away.

However, the shot missed.

Beitangmo shyly put away the bow.

Old Hu comforted him from the side: "This shooting requires practice. Believe me, as long as you practice hard, you will be able to shoot through Yang with a hundred steps in the future. Moreover, it is also a life-saving weapon."

"Save your life." Beitang Mo asked suspiciously.

Old Hu sighed and said, "Xiao Mo, this is the capital. If you are not careful, you don't even know how you lost your life."

Beitang Mo looked at Lao Hu's sincere face, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Hu. I will practice more in the future."

Because of this, Beitang Mo developed the habit of practicing archery every day, and it was precisely because of Lao Hu's words that Beitang Mo used this bow to save his life in the future.

Three days passed quickly.The day when the imperial court received Nanzhao envoys kicked off on a beautiful spring day.

On the mighty "Chongzheng Palace", the officials of Xizhao Kingdom waited for the envoy of Nanzhao who had not arrived.

The scorching sun hanging high in the sky showed that it was getting late. The strong sunlight shone on Ji Rufeng's frowning face. It seemed that this time was a big test for many people.

Even Ji Rufeng, the emperor of Xizhao Kingdom, was so sad.

In fact, Ji Rufeng knew in his heart that his country's military strength was far from that of Nanzhao's, and because of this, he would be inferior to others in many aspects.

Fortunately, Nanzhao's supplies are not as rich as Xizhao Country. If the mutual market is closed, it will be a big disaster for them.

But if at this time, the Nanzhao Kingdom retreats and chooses the Jinling Kingdom, which is far away, it will be the end of the game.

Because Beitang Mo's official position was low, he stood at the end of the welcoming team. From behind, he could see the ministers whispering to each other from time to time.

Regarding the visit of the envoy from the Nanzhao Kingdom, everyone has no idea.

After all, the Xizhao Kingdom is nothing to the Nanzhao Kingdom, but their Xizhao Kingdom provides Nanzhao with the necessities of life. It can be said that it cannot be separated from the Xizhao Kingdom.

Therefore, there are different ideas about the attitude towards these messengers.

"The old minister believes that the visitor is a guest after all, whether he is here to crusade or negotiate a peace, he should treat each other with courtesy..."

"I think these southern barbarians are here purely to help tigers, so there's no need to give them good looks..."

"I agree with what Brother Zizhong said. Sooner or later, you will fight hand to hand and help each other. Why be polite to them..."

"But I think that if we gain time to develop in this peace negotiation, not only economically, we will also have the money to recruit troops and develop our country's military strength..."

Beitang Mo listened to what these ministers said in a daze, but he couldn't open his eyes anymore.

Curling his lips, he couldn't help complaining in his heart.Although he knew what morning court was, it didn't have to be so early, it started at six o'clock in the morning, and he had to get up at four o'clock in the morning to come from the general's mansion.

Beitangmo really misses the days when he used to sleep late. Although in modern times, when conducting research or manufacturing, he would stay up for several days, but as long as he takes a break, he can rest for a week or two, which still makes him very happy. like.

When I asked myself about him, what I hated the most was trouble, and the most annoying thing was not being free.

Since he came to ancient times, he found that his life was getting busier and busier. Many things that he shouldn't have to worry about, but were inexplicably pulled in, such as this time.

Beitang Mo is very depressed now. He regrets that he ran the train with his mouth full that day, and talked nonsense without thinking about the consequences. He didn't realize that he caused so much trouble for himself. The most depressing thing is that he Come over, but just wait.

Finally, when Ji Rufeng stood up and was about to retreat, Eunuch Gao came in from the back hall and whispered a few times in Ji Rufeng's ear.

Ji Rufeng put away his displeased expression and sat down again, but his tense body, awkward movements, and slightly trembling arms had already betrayed him.

At this time, a shrill voice came: "Xuan Nanzhao envoy sees Jin..."

Beitang Mo turned his head to the gate curiously, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Logically speaking, Nanzhao Kingdom should be located in the barbarian land of southern Xinjiang. Xiangfei and Meng Dan are the same characters in "Gege".

In the next second, four people walked in slowly across the vermilion threshold.

Beitang Mo sized them up carefully, and couldn't help beating drums in his heart.

The strange thing is that their clothes are very similar to the official uniforms of the Xizhao Kingdom: two of them wear Futou on their heads, boots on their feet, purple clothes and scarlet clothes, the other two wear crowns, and one of them wears a gold carved crown with a silver paste. , the other wears gold and sticks up a cloud crown, wearing purple swirls, gold-coated silver belts, hanging scorpions, wearing knotted vertebrae, short knives, bows and arrows.

Three of them had huge earlobes hanging from their ears. Isn't it heavy to hang such a heavy thing on their ears?

Beitang Mo looked dumbfounded. Although he is a man, he has seen all kinds of earrings and studs in modern times. Besides, his former female friends wore these things. He remembered that every time a woman After my friend took it off, his ears were so red and swollen that he couldn't even touch them.

Although they are scolding their mothers in their hearts, they do have a certain flavor when they wear them. What do these big men look like?
However, Beitang Mo was somewhat relieved, fortunately they didn't have nose studs, nipples, lip studs or the like, otherwise he would definitely feel that he had come to a nightclub.

The four people walked to the middle of the palace and faced Ji Rufeng, but they didn't kneel down, their expressions were indifferent, with a hint of sarcasm.

Someone in the hall took a deep breath, and immediately an official stood up, accusing him: "Bold, don't kneel down when you see His Majesty."

The only one among them without earlobes stood up straight and replied: "In Nanzhao, I see that His Majesty does not have the etiquette to bow down."

Beitang Mo nodded silently in his heart, he is a good man, remembering why he gave a big gift to the emperor!

A long time ago, he had only kneeled down to his parents and his immediate family members, and he still had the long-cherished wish of willingly kneeling down to his wife in the future.

As a result, before finding a daughter-in-law, I came to ancient times. Although life meets everywhere, men have gold under their knees.

But after seeing Ji Rufeng, he saluted according to the custom of Xizhao Country.

Beitang Mo silently despised himself again, raised his head invisibly to look at Ji Rufeng on the dragon chair.

This person has red lips and white teeth, and there is a bit of majesty in his gentle temperament that is hard to refuse.

Think of it as kneeling on his wife... Beitang Mo thought in his heart, but Xia Xuan's face appeared in his mind inexplicably.

Ji Rufeng choked for breath, took a deep look at that person and said, "I will spare you the gift of prostration."

Although he was mentally prepared to be underestimated and suppressed, when faced with such a situation, the anger in his heart still couldn't help gushing out.

Even so, he knew that he still had to hold back, as the saying goes, a little intolerance can lead to big schemes, in order to take care of the overall situation, he had to swallow his anger, but Ji Rufeng knew in his heart that he would naturally have a big revenge to save.

Just like that, a storm disappeared without a trace.

The four of them began to introduce themselves to Ji Rufeng one by one.

"My next one is Zhang Hao." The man without earlobes continued, obviously, he was the leader of the emissary this time.

After he spoke, the others began to call out their names one by one.

From the information that Liu Shangyuan gave Beitang Mo, Beitang Mo knew that Li Yuan was the founding father of the Nanzhao Dynasty and the chief counselor of Yuansu, just like Guo Jia was to Cao Cao, Chen Gong was to Lu Bu, and his status in Nanzhao Kingdom , one person is below ten thousand people, and no one can shake it.

And the most important point is that this Zhang Hao is from Xizhao Country. He was originally from Huayin County, Huazhou, Song Yongxing Army Road.

Because he didn't want to make a fool of himself, he failed many times.

Beitangmo couldn't help but carefully looked at this "traitor" in the eyes of Xizhao people: he was about [-] years old, he looked very elegant, and he looked like a person who read poetry and books.

Beitang Mo couldn't help admiring the Confucian temperament in him, thinking that he had been studying for more than ten years, counting from kindergarten to Ph. He doesn't even touch the edge of "elegance", so it's pretty good that he hasn't been called a ruffian.

The other one is Yuangao, the royal family of Nanzhao, wearing the Futou, while the one wearing gold and the cloud-cut crown is Ganglangling, and the one wearing the gold crown with silver paste is Yuqi.

Ganglangling and Yuqi are two famous generals in Nanzhao Kingdom, their status in the country is comparable to that of Xia Xuan's father Xia Houyu in Xizhao Kingdom.

Why did I think of him again?Beitang Mo was a little depressed, but his face flushed and his heart moved.

After their introduction, Yuan Gao respectfully handed over a paper filled with Nanzhao's requirements.

Beitang Mo raised his head and glanced at it from afar. The writing on the paper was densely packed, and the characters were as small as ants. Even Ji Rufeng had to get very close to see them clearly.
