Looking at Yuan Feng kneeling before His Highness, Liu Hong's eyes couldn't help but reveal a little sparkle.
Last night, Zhang Rang told him about Yuan Shu's sword attack on Hu Feng. After hearing the news, he finally let go of Yuan Shu.
The Yuan family was so powerful that he did not dare to relax his vigilance against them for a moment.
How could a legitimate son of the Yuan family care about this when he was serving as a high-ranking official? The reason why Yuan Shu was granted the title of Guanhou this time was actually a test.
Now it seems that Yuan Shu's answer sheet is very satisfactory to him.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Jiujiu, the rebellious son of the Yuan family, was young and frivolous, and insulted the angels. I hereby apologize for my sin. Please also ask Your Majesty to punish me for not being strict in educating my children."
After Yuan Feng finished speaking, he kowtowed his head. It wasn't until his scalp was scratched that Liu Hong coughed.
"Da Sikong, get up. I already know about the highway incident. Young people will naturally be a little frivolous. This time, I will be punished for a year, a small punishment but a big warning. If there is another time, I will definitely punish you severely."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness~"
Yuan Feng fought to the end again.
No one expected that the storm that was originally thought to be a bloody storm passed so peacefully.
One year's salary? Even if it's ten years, it's just a drop in the bucket for the Yuan family.
Hu Feng, who was on his way back to Beijing, was still thinking about adding fuel and jealousy to make Yuan Shu look good when he returned. He had no idea that he had become a complete outcast this time.
On the grassland, strong winds gusted. More than a dozen tribes, large and small, and more than 15,000 tribal cavalry gathered on the grassland of the Duogan tribe.
"My dear leaders, after the Sun family's vengeance has been wiped out, one hundred thousand stones of food and grass will be given to Sun Fang with both hands. If you violate this oath, the sky will strike with thunder~"
Sun Fang took out a small knife and made a cut on her hand. The bright red blood, like broken beads, kept dripping into the wine jar in front of her.
"Doganda is willing to help you wash away your true determination. If you violate this oath, the sky will strike with thunder~"
"Humol is willing to help you wash away your true destiny. If you violate this oath, the sky will strike with thunder~"
"Hu Yanxian is willing to help you wash away your true destiny. If you violate this oath, the sky will strike with thunder~"
"Kempa is willing to help you wash away your true determination. If you violate this oath, there will be thunder and lightning from the sky~"
Each clan leader dropped his blood into the wine jar, until after the last person, Sun Fang lifted the wine jar and poured all the wine into bowls.
"Heads, let's do it~"
"Fuck~"
"Fuck~"
After drinking the wine, Sun Fang smashed the bowl into pieces, and then Sun Fang got on her horse.
"The goal is set, let's set off~"
Craftsman Camp in Zhending Mansion
Yuan Shu was staring nervously at the things in front of him, and a huge crossbow was lying on the plan.
"Sir, is this the crossbow made according to your drawings?"
An old craftsman looked at the divine arm crossbow in front of him, his eyes full of excitement. This was definitely the best crossbow he had made in decades of work.
The Divine Arm Crossbow is much larger than the ordinary hand crossbows and riding crossbows of the Han Dynasty. Even the infantry crossbow is only two-thirds of its size.
Mulberry was used as the body, sandalwood was used as the reins, iron was used as the barrel of the gun, steel was used as the machine, hemp ropes were used as bindings, and silk was used as the strings. A composite material was used to create the imperial artifact of the Song Dynasty.
"Yan Liang, try the crossbow~"
Yuan Shu grabbed the Divine Arm Crossbow and threw it into Yan Liang's hands. Yan Liang did not flinch. He took the crossbow and pulled the string to the limit, then placed a fine steel crossbow arrow in the barrel of the gun.
"Whoosh~"
A cold light flashed through, like a meteor, it shot directly through the arrow target thirty meters away and pierced the courtyard wall.
"Hiss~"
Feeling the power of the divine arm crossbow, Yan Liang couldn't help but take a breath of air. It was at least a hundred meters away from the courtyard wall, and it was so powerful.
"Well, not bad~"
Looking at Yan Liang's shocked expression, Yuan Shu couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that the 340-meter range introduced by the system was quite credible.
"Master Zhou, try your best to build it~"
"No~"
"May I ask, my lord, what is this crossbow and what is its name?"
Yan Liang tightened his chin and looked at Yuan Shu, his eyes full of fire.
"This crossbow is called the God Arm Crossbow~"
"God's Arm Crossbow, what a name, what a name! I wonder if my lord can allocate this crossbow to my Polu army for use~"
"No, I plan to give this crossbow to Wen Chou and set up a crossbow camp in his militia. Only when these sharp weapons are used intensively can they exert their greatest effect."
"No~"
After hearing Yuan Shu's arrangement, Yan Liang was a little frustrated, but he had nothing to say.
As the days passed, Changshan County gradually got on the right track. The issuance of reclamation orders and refugee orders caused a large number of farmers from surrounding counties to come here across the mountains and ridges, among which Zhending was the most important.
The previously barren fields were reclaimed, and Jushu also took out the cattle and horses funded by the Yuan family in a timely manner and gave them to the refugees for free, which greatly improved their work efficiency.
Stimulated by Yuan Shu's large arms order, the Zhang family recruited a large number of craftsmen from the refugees and delivered more than two thousand sets of ordnance and leather armor in a short period of time.
The head of the Zhao family was even more powerful. He personally went to the Wuhuan tribe and brought back more than 3,000 war horses in one fell swoop. He also promised that the remaining 2,000 war horses would arrive within two months.
Wen Chou used two thousand armored soldiers and Yuan Zhen Ding elite soldiers as a skeleton to pull up a 10,000 militia group. After his rigorous training, the quality of these militia groups also improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. I believe it won't be long before they will be
A fearsome and powerful army.
Zhao Yun was not idle either. With Yuan Shu's signal, he personally took action. Not only did he choose Zhending, he traveled throughout Changshan County and finally pulled up 2,500 cavalry. Together with the horses sent by the Zhao family, they had already
Set off to clear out the surrounding bandits.
Seeing everything prospering, Yuan Shu couldn't be happy. He always felt like something was about to happen.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Linglong looked at Yuan Shu, with a hint of distress in her eyes.
"It's okay. Isn't there any news about Ji Ling?"
Linglong is now Yuan Shu's temporary secretary.
"Not yet, but considering the schedule, there should be news~"
Linglong shook her head. There was no way to talk about conscription. It was not easy locally, let alone in other places.
"Send someone to Danyang~"
"No~"
After Linglong left, Yuan Shu couldn't help but press his temples. What on earth was going on?
"Report~ Lord Taishou, there is an emergency in Fuping~"
Hearing this voice, Yuan Shu's mind couldn't help but startle. Fuping is in a hurry? What's going on? Could it be that Xianbei is here?
After receiving the letter handed over by the courier, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown.
"Pass my order to recruit Jushou, Tian Feng, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and Zhao Yun to come to the mansion to discuss matters."
"No~"
Everyone gathered in the meeting hall, looking at the dark face of the leader Yuan Shu, everyone was in a state of humiliation.
"Sir, why are you calling us here~"
Jushu swallowed his saliva and asked Yuan Shu.
"Look at this~ Fuping is in a hurry, and the Xianbei people are approaching~ The sword points directly at Zhending~"
