Hearing this, Li Fengke was suddenly startled, as if he was frightened by the word "death".

Li Yunxing is definitely not an alarmist.

Li Yunxing could hide the things about Thunderbolt, Guo Mengsheng, Decay City, and the fifth prince for a while, but not for a lifetime.

What kind of person was Liu Zhongqing? If he couldn't get even this bit of information, he would probably be serving as the Prime Minister of the Wu Dynasty in vain.

Judging from the era when Li Yunxing came, the strategy used by Li Yunxing now is to focus on information gap.

No matter in any era, the most valuable thing is not food, weapons and ammunition, but information.

A priceless piece of information is thousands of times more valuable than food, grass and weapons.

This is the path Li Yunxing has been walking.

The fifth prince, Li Fengke, is somewhat similar to Li Yunxing from a certain perspective. They are both abandoned sons who are not favored.

The difference is that Emperor Wu saw Li Yunxing's potential, and he saw Li Fengke's potential.

Although it seems that everyone in the Wu Dynasty is worried about the Huns' invasion of the country, Li Yunxing believes that the calmest among them is Liu Zhongqing.

If the Xiongnu wins, Liu Zhongqing will directly switch sides and cooperate with the Xiongnu Chanyu. When the Chanyu becomes king, he will not be in such a state of despair.

On the contrary, if the Xiongnu were defeated, Liu Zhongqing would still be the prime minister of the Wu Dynasty, and would be more trusted by His Majesty the Emperor.

Therefore, Liu Zhongqing was not in a hurry.

As long as the Wu Dynasty remains stable, a mere Xiongnu means nothing.

With this mentality, Liu Zhongqing was not worried at all.

But what he is most worried about is the growth of the prince. If Li Yunxing grows up, he will have the final say in the Wu Dynasty, and Liu Zhongqing will be miserable.

Even if he can't touch Li Yunxing now, it doesn't mean that he won't touch Li Yunxing's minions.

A mere fifth prince, after all, he can't escape Liu Zhongqing's grasp, right?

"Although I am just a prince now, I am destined to be an emperor in the future, and your status will also rise. This is a good thing for you." Li Yunxing said with a smile: "So, I hope you can carefully consider whether

I am willing to help me."

From an early age, Li Fengke knew that it was definitely not easy for Prince Li Yunxing. Living in such a troubled world with alternating imperial powers, no one could guarantee that he would not encounter bad luck.

But Li Yunxing never gave up this idea.

He even secretly cultivated his own power, waiting for the opportunity to completely subvert the Liu family's overwhelming power.

Li Fengke couldn't help but feel heroic and ambitious in his heart.

But Li Fengke quickly restrained himself and said solemnly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, although my abilities are far inferior to those of the other brothers, I have been in the same room with the Crown Prince since I was a child. The late Queen also treated me with great love. I will bear all this in my heart."

, if the prince needs me, just ask me, I am obligated to do so!"

He gritted his teeth and spoke firmly, showing no intention of backing down.

Li Yunxing smiled when he heard this and patted his shoulder gently, expressing his appreciation.

"Okay, if you have this loyalty, I will live up to you."

As he spoke, Li Yunxing took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Li Fengke, saying: "This is the perfect structural diagram in my mind. Take it and study it slowly."

Li Fengke's eyes lit up, he took the piece of paper and observed it carefully.

"Is this a crossbow?"

Li Fengke took it over and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"This is the crossbow you just guessed. It is just an improved repeating crossbow. It is temporarily called the God Arm Crossbow. It should actually be able to reach a range of two hundred steps. Do you think it is feasible?" Li Yunxing said: "This matter

I don’t need to say much about the stakes of this relationship. Except for the two of us, no one can reveal even a single word!"

"Your Highness, don't worry, I understand." Li Fengke nodded.

This kind of crossbow arrow could definitely shock the entire Wu Dynasty and cause an uproar.

If word spreads, not to mention the Wu Dynasty, even the surrounding countries will go crazy.

"This is my inference. Whether it can achieve the effect or not, you still need to verify it. Just hold it!"

Li Yunxing told Li Fengke, "You have only one task, and that is to find the weaknesses in this drawing and make improvements."

Li Fengke took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Prince, don't worry, I will fulfill my mission!"

"Okay!" Li Yunxing laughed and said, "I believe in you!"

Li Fengke took the drawing and felt even more uneasy.

Compared with the last Thunderbolt Cannon, it is very different in appearance. This time the Divine Arm Crossbow does not seem to be much different from ordinary crossbows, and it is even just slightly different in appearance.

But now the Wu Dynasty's crossbows have a range of no more than a hundred steps, while the Divine Arm Crossbow has a range of about two hundred steps.

For other armies, this is simply a nightmare!

What's more important is the lethality of the God's Arm Crossbow.

Li Yunxing looked at Li Fengke and thought about the process of making thunder cannons. He heard that he had spent almost all his monthly salary and even owed a lot of silver. This amount of money was definitely not a small amount for him.

In this way, the difficulty of making the God Arm Crossbow is definitely much higher than that of the Thunder Cannon.

"Although I don't understand the details, I also know that this crossbow has extremely high requirements for materials, especially the hook string. The string must be made of steel and iron bones with both toughness and hardness, so that it can withstand the impact of the crossbow bolt.

, without special steel production, it would be impossible to complete." Li Yunxing said.

"Steel is very rare, and I have only seen it in one person."

Speaking of this person, Li Fengke's heart trembled inexplicably.

Of course it was Chen Jinyan, the blacksmith he met in Jingzhou. It must have been his long career as a soldier that made him more and more skilled in controlling power.

"Your Highness, please enlighten me. No matter where he is at the end of the world, I will definitely find him!" Li Fengke said solemnly.

"This man's name is Chen Jinyan, and his father is the former Yin of Tingwei Mansion. Unexpectedly, he has made great achievements in iron arts. He is especially good at casting swords, guns, swords and halberds. Among them, cast steel is unique. As far as I know, there is only one in the world.

He has such forging technology in his hands."

Li Fengke's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Emperor, why don't you recruit such talents as soon as possible?"

"Although I am short of people, Chen Jinyan is stubborn and difficult to tame. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot be used." Li Yunxing certainly understood what the other party meant.

"Then..." Li Fengke was a little confused.

Li Yunxing smiled and said: "You don't understand. I am the prince, so I will not compromise easily. But your position is different. If you can really win over Chen Jinyan, even if you just let him do things for us, it will be a big deal for you.

Good news!”

Li Fengke instantly realized that the prince had the status and advantages of a prince, and he could openly use the status and power of the prince to recruit heroes from all over the world.
