After coming down from the court, Chai Rong left Chongyuan Hall and returned to the back pavilion. He looked calm and could not see the emotions or anger on his face. He sat in silence behind the desk in a daze.

Li Tingfang quickly made a cup of tea and brought it to Chai Rong. Old Mutou was filled with indignation, "Your Majesty, you must not take Feng Dao's words to heart."

Chai Rong picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and said, "Well, I don't take it to heart."

As soon as he put down the tea bowl, he heard Li Tingfang say: "There are several ministers outside the pavilion asking to see Your Majesty."

"Invite them in!"

Li Tingfang shouted outside, and saw several people entering the pavilion in a hurry. After giving Chai Rong the gift, Li Chongjin couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, do you really want to conquer in person?"

Chai Rong nodded heavily, "Well, do you think it's not feasible?"

"Although Feng Dao said something rude, there is still some truth in what he said. Not long after Your Majesty ascended the throne, the people's sentiments have not yet been decided, so it is really difficult for him to lead a personal expedition!"

Zhang Yongde also said: "I deeply believe that your Majesty should sit in the capital and send loyal and brave generals to lead the troops to defend against the enemy."

Chai Rong did not answer, but looked at Wang Pu, "What do Wang Qing think?"

Wang Pu said: "I think it's all right!"

Chai Rong looked at Pan Mei, who had already arrived in the palace as an enshrinement officer. Pan Mei cupped her hands and replied, "I think brave generals are easy to find and loyal ministers are hard to find, so it is a good choice for me to lead the expedition myself."

This was the treatment Chai Rong received in the base camp. The officials ridiculed and ridiculed him, and even his close confidants were opposed or ambiguous.

Chai Rong, who was originally firm-minded, also had doubts about his choice at this moment. He was planning to have Zhao Kuangyin come out of the palace to listen to his opinion, when he heard footsteps outside the palace and saw Xu Xian walking quickly.

When he came over, he did not enter the cabinet but turned around and stood in the corridor.

Chai Rong greeted quickly, "Xu Xian, come in!"

Hearing Chai Rong calling him, Xu Xian immediately entered the palace, raised his hands and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"You were guarding the door outside the palace during the court meeting. You should know what happened in the court hall. I would like to hear your opinion."

Xu Xian replied sternly: "I should be the emperor's personal convoy!"

This was the first person to support him unswervingly. Chai Rong was naturally interested and asked with a smile: "Why?" |

"This... well, Liu Chong is stupid and incompetent, and everyone in the world is ashamed to recognize the Liao people as his uncle. Today, your majesty ascends the throne and is supported by all the people and praised by all the people. With your majesty's wisdom, divine power, and the power to swallow up mountains and rivers, he will definitely kill the Han and Liao allied forces.

Do not stay……"

How did Xu Xian know the truth? If he were sitting in Chai Rong's seat, he would probably choose Feng Dao's suggestion. But he knew that Chai Rong would definitely win this expedition, otherwise how could he be famous for future generations. So many people are opposed to it now.

Chai Rong has lost confidence in him, and Xu Xian naturally wants unreserved support.

What he said was sincere, but to others it seemed like there was no logic in it, just a bunch of empty flattery.

But Chai Rong was different. He could truly feel that Xu Xian was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Although it didn't make sense, it was full of recognition, which was very important to Chai Rong at this time.

He put his palms together and smiled: "Xu Qing's words deeply touched my heart!"

Several confidants looked at the two of them with different eyes, and they regarded them as a pair of greedy ministers, traitors and incompetent kings...

Xu Xian left the palace in the afternoon and rode on his horse to go to Gongnuyuan. The battle was about to begin and it was impossible not to have a good guy at hand.

I have to say that Ambassador Huang was quite capable. In order not to break another finger, a person can unleash his huge potential, but it still took him half a year to tinker with the divine arm crossbow that Xu Xian wanted.

It's just that there are not the 250 steps Xu Xian imagined, but only 180 steps. The crossbow body is only over three feet, which is relatively light, but the cost is frighteningly high.

Xu Xian didn't expect to achieve it overnight. As long as someone studies carefully, one day he can reach two hundred and fifty steps, or even shoot further.

He trotted around the shooting range of the Crossbow Courtyard on horseback. He hung the iron hook of the crossbow holder on the saddle, put one foot on the bow and the other hand to wind it. It didn't seem too difficult.

Xu Xian held the divine arm bow in his arms and aimed his hands at the big tree not far away. He pulled the trigger and heard a buzzing sound. The twisted arrow flew out and nailed the tree impartially.

On the body.

He couldn't help but cheer loudly, dismounted and saw that the arrow had penetrated the wood more than two inches. With such force, even wearing a full set of Mingguang armor, he could not prevent it.

Ambassador Huang came over and asked with a smile: "Are you satisfied, Dian Zhi?"

"The accuracy is okay, but it's hard to string the string on a horse. It would be great if you could pull it apart with both hands!"

The smile on Huang Silang's face immediately disappeared, "The emperor is really trying to embarrass himself to death. Unless you are born with divine power, how can you pull such a powerful crossbow open with both hands?"

"I know it's really difficult, but I can give you a tip. Bring me a pen and paper!"

Xu Xian drew a few pictures and asked Huang Silang to find someone to do it. There were skilled craftsmen in Gongnuyuan, but it only took half an hour to complete it. Xu Xian explained: "This is called a moving pulley block, which can make people pull the pulley easily.

Lift something weighing hundreds of kilograms. Come here and I will give you a demonstration."

Seeing the teasing look in Xu Xian's eyes, Huang Silang felt a little bad and asked timidly: "What kind of demonstration!"

"You have so much to say, just come here!" Xu Xian said and grabbed him over. Then Huang Silang experienced the feeling of flying, going up and down between the ground and the beams seven or eight times in a row.

"Dianzhi, please spare Xiaguan immediately. If you don't put Xiaguan down from the beam, he will be scared to death. No one will make a bow for you in the future."

After his feet landed on the ground, Huang Silang let out a long breath and slumped down on the chair, "Dianzhi is really born with supernatural power. He can pull him up easily even if he is as fat as the official."

"It's not that I'm very strong, it's that this pulley is easy to use. If I add this thing to the crossbow, it will save a lot of effort. It shouldn't be difficult to string it with both hands."

Huang Silang asked for advice with a guilty look on his face, "It's a good idea, but I don't know where to put it on the crossbow. Please give me some advice."

"You are an expert, so why are you asking me instead? I'm just telling you this. Just think about it slowly and you will always find a way."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Silang nodded repeatedly, "I will decide to think about it carefully after I leave the official position. If there is any progress, I will report it to the palace immediately."

"Your Majesty wants to lead the expedition in person. I and my subordinates must not accompany you. I don't know how many handfuls you have made. Take them all out to protect Your Majesty."

"The craftsmanship of this crossbow is complicated and expensive, and the government did not allocate money and materials, so only five of them were made. Please forgive me for your difficulties."

"Don't worry, I am not an unreasonable person! When I take this crossbow and kill the puppet Han emperor on the battlefield, Your Majesty will allocate money for you to make a large number of them. If you win His Majesty's favor, you will be promoted and make a fortune.

.”

"In the future, I will have to support you more and more!"

"That's easy to say! You have people send these five crossbows and arrows to the station in Red Scarf Capital. I will take my leave now."

Ambassador Huang diligently sent Xu Xian out of Gongnuyuan. When Xu Xian walked away, he spat loudly, "Bah! You are a dog that relies on human power."

His commander hurriedly said: "Ambassador, please be careful. Everyone in the palace knows it now. If you let him hear it, you will probably come back to trouble you again."
