"However, the Northern Qi Dynasty always kept a secret about the forging method of the crossbow. Dongqin and Nanyue once spent a lot of money to ask for it. What I didn't expect was that this time, the Northern Qi parliament sent envoys to Kyoto and offered to sell the five crossbow weapons drawings to me in western Chu. This is something I never dreamed of."
Shen Ning noticed that Mo Chuan's face did not have the color of joy. Instead, she frowned deeply and knew that something had changed.
"And then? What happened? " She asked softly.
Mo Chuan said in a deep voice: "at that time, I was surprised and happy, and I felt that this was too abrupt. The Western Chu and Northern Qi countries had always been well water and did not invade the river. The two countries were just general friends. Suddenly, the Northern Qi State handed such a huge benefit to me. I could not help but doubt whether they had any intention, so I did not agree immediately. Seeing my hesitation, the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty took out their crossbow drawings and showed them to me. I read them carefully and found that the drawing was indeed the forging method of five crossbows. As long as you follow the drawings, you can certainly forge five crossbows as sharp as the Northern Qi state. "
"So I agreed, and the emissary of the Northern Qi Dynasty offered a price. It was not a wild price, but a very reasonable one. I was so happy that I agreed to complete the transaction in three days, with one hand paying the money and the other hand handing in the drawings. How did you know that in the night of the third day, something happened suddenly. Someone even sneaked into the post house of the Northern Qi Dynasty and stole the weapon drawing for making the five crossbows! "
Speaking of this, Mo Chuan's right hand clenched his fist, and his eyes showed hatred.
"Weapons drawings stolen?" Shen Ning's first reaction was: "could it be the emissary of the Northern Qi Dynasty who was guarding against himself?"
Mo Chuan said: "listen to me, the theft of this drawing is very strange. Kick up a cloud of dust, and as like as two peas, you must have been thinking about the news. You must have been hiding the drawings in the North Qi's Messenger, but you'd throw dirty water on our head. But I learned the story and found that it was not what I thought. That night, the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the people in the whole post house were all struck by a strange kind of MI Xiang, and they were not awake. However, there was an exception. One of the guards went to the room at dawn because of a stomachache. When he came out conveniently, he found a black masked man sneaking out of the room of the emissary of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He rushed forward immediately, He knocked the black masked man unconscious from behind, and then found that all the people in the post house were unconscious. He was so shocked that he rushed into the room to wake up the messenger. When the messenger woke up, he immediately went to check the box where the drawings were stored. He found that everything was intact, but only the drawings in that box were missing. "
"So, the thief who stole the drawing has been caught. If you search the black masked man, you can get the drawing?" Shen Ning Dao.
Mo Chuan shook his head again: "the strange thing is here. Everyone thinks that the black masked man is a thief, and indeed they have found the enchanting incense from him. However, the people turned over all his clothes and couldn't find the drawing. The envoys of Northern Qi severely tortured the masked man in black, but the man's mouth was very tight and did not reveal a word, Finally, he killed himself by taking advantage of others' unprepared
