"This is not the place to talk. Brother Zhao and all the masters must be tired after coming here. There is a restaurant in front of you. The food is very good. Let's go there and chat."
After chatting for a while, Bai Yan took a few people directly to the restaurant.
As soon as they left, the store door of Wanqianzhuang next door opened.
"Where did these people come from? What are Bai Yan going to do?" Ma Wencai stared at the direction in which several people were leaving.
He was going home just now, but happened to see this scene, so he hid behind the door.
"I can't tell you exactly, but judging from the accent, these people are not from the North," the waiter responded.
"It seems that he wants to cause trouble again, and he really won't stop." Ma Wencai ordered: "Have someone keep an eye on Bai Yan these days. If there is any trouble, report it to me. I want to see what he does.
What."
The waiter responded and hurriedly chased after him.
At the door of the restaurant, Zhao Han stopped and glanced behind him.
"Master Bai, it seems that someone is following us."
"I know, my opponent." Bai Yan said indifferently.
He also noticed it, but he didn't care. You didn't need to think about it to know that it was Ma Wen who sent the people.
"Master Bai's enemy? Do you need me to deal with him?" Zhao Han made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Brother Zhao is serious. He is just a competitor in the business field. If he really killed someone, wouldn't I, Bai Yan, be a villain? Just ignore it." Bai Yan said with a smile.
Zhao Han was silent now. There was really no need to kill his enemy in the business field.
When a group of people entered the private room, Zhao Han couldn't wait to ask.
"Master Bai, the Marquis has already told His Majesty about the arsenal, and His Majesty has issued a secret decree to agree that it will be delivered within a few days. Both Your Majesty and the Marquis attach great importance to this matter, but they don't know what Master Bai has prepared.
how's it going?"
"Yes, Master Bai, I heard that you can build a heavy crossbow that can shoot down cavalry, so I volunteered." Mr. Yuan couldn't wait to ask: "Actually, I have been wanting to design such a heavy crossbow for these years.
Crossbow, it’s just never been successful.”
"I may disappoint you, I'm not ready yet." Bai Yan told the truth.
"Master Bai, after so many days, the Marquis has reported to His Majesty, but you are saying that you are not prepared? I can't explain this to the Marquis." Zhao Han became anxious.
If one day His Majesty asks and cannot see anything, he will be so furious that even Qing Gong cannot bear it.
"Master Bai, don't you think it's impossible? In that case, why didn't you tell us earlier, which made our trip in vain?" Mr. Yuan's expression immediately became indifferent.
Several other people were slightly dissatisfied. Although they were not big shots in Kyoto, they were still famous people.
I didn't come here just for fun.
"Brother Zhao, don't be anxious. What I said about not being prepared is that I haven't found a suitable place yet. The arsenal must be kept secret and carried out secretly, so the location is very important. The city of Yanzhou is so big, it is not easy to build an arsenal without anyone noticing.
Things." Bai Yan responded.
These days, he has been observing carefully, but there is really no suitable place.
"What Master Bai said makes no sense. Why does it have to be built in the city? There are so many villages and mountains outside Yanzhou City. You can just find a secret place. What is so difficult about this?" Mr. Yuan snorted coldly.
Zhao Han and others agreed one after another. They all thought that it should be built in a hidden village, and Liujiazhuang was a good choice.
"Mr. Yuan, the arsenal cannot be built outside the city. The use of caltrops before must have shocked the entire San tribe, right?"
Bai Yan said and looked at Zhao Han.
Zhao Han nodded and said: "Although I am not in the army, I also know how much shock the iron caltrops caused among the Sangkou. It is said that there has been panic in the court of the alien race. They think that we have the help of magic soldiers to be able to
We have iron caltrops. A large number of them want to negotiate peace with us. Moreover, Sankou sent a large number of scouts into the Northland, and even sent people to Kyoto to investigate."
He didn't say much, but his words all revealed how much influence the caltrops had on the foreign races.
"Just a piece of caltrop caused the Sangkou to be so turbulent. What do you think they would do if the Sangkou knew about the news that we had established an arsenal and made heavy crossbows?" Bai Yan asked.
"They will definitely go crazy and want to destroy the arsenal." Zhao Han said.
"Brother Zhao is right. Once the news is leaked, the aliens will definitely destroy the arsenal at all costs. And then, a large number of manpower will be needed. Although most of them are from the army, who can guarantee that the news will be leaked? If it is built in the city
Besides, once the news is leaked, it will be a disaster and all our efforts will be in vain. Therefore, the arsenal can only be built in the city." Bai Yan said solemnly.
This was something he had thought about deeply.
In the previous life, many arsenals were built in secret places. But the situation before us was very different from the previous life.
Only within the protection of the city wall can it have protective power.
Outside the city, there is no protection. Once attacked by the cavalry, all the hard work will be in vain.
Mr. Yuan was speechless and said calmly: "Master Bai, you can't be unprepared, right?"
"Of course not."
Bai Yan took out some papers from his arms and handed them to everyone: "These are the arsenal drawings I drew, as well as some drawings of new weapons. Please take a look."
Several people couldn't wait to pick up the drawings and look at them, with shock on their faces.
"Master Bai, what is this?" Mr. Huang asked.
"This is a repeating crossbow, also known as a Zhuge repeating crossbow. It can fire ten crossbow arrows at the same time. It has no effect on the Sankou cavalry. But if it is used on an ordinary battlefield, it can defeat the enemy." Bai Yan replied.
"So magical?"
Zhao Han grabbed the drawings immediately. He thought that the arsenal was only for making heavy crossbows and caltrops. Unexpectedly, there was a surprise. If he had these things, he would not be afraid of the Sankou in close combat.
"So magical? Why is this thing called Zhuge Liannu?" Mr. Huang asked.
"Because it was invented by Mr. Zhuge." Bai Yan replied.
"It turns out that Master Bai didn't invent it. I wonder if there is a chance to meet Mr. Zhuge?" Mr. Huang couldn't wait.
Bai Yan was speechless for a while, then shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhuge is no longer alive. These drawings are also temporary drawings by me. I have to wait until they are finished to make a final decision. Brother Zhao, please tell Mr. Hou not to worry. Next, I will
Will pay close attention to it."
"With these drawings, it will be easy to explain. I have nothing to do next, so I will wander around the city and look for it," Zhao Han said.
"No, Brother Zhao, I won't show these drawings to anyone. It's better for the Marquis to wait patiently first."
