C909

As they spoke, the two guns had turned their muzzle and aimed at the stone mountain on the other side of the river. Several boats noticed the movement and stopped curiously to watch.

"Boom! Boom With the sound of two deafening cannons, the earth was shaking, and countless rocks rolled down in the fire and dust. Some of them fell directly into the river, causing huge water spray. Even the boats in the distance were affected, and the shaking continued. The boatman was in a panic, and rowed away in a hurry, and did not dare to stay.

When the smoke and dust dispersed, the stone mountain reappeared in people's sight. Only this time, there were two big holes on the mountain.

"It's really powerful!" The Qi emperor looked at the water boat with a happy face, which was more than a mile away because of the frustration. "Brother Xiao really has the talent of ghosts and gods. He even thought of adding artillery to the water boat. In this way, the water boat can not only transport people, but also become a weapon for fighting. OK! How nice After a pause, he said, "I don't know how many boats brother Xiao has?"

Xiao Ruo Ao said with a bitter smile, "if you don't hide it from emperor Qi, there is only one."

"One?" Emperor Qi frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Ruo Ao's answer, but he didn't say it. Instead, he said, "how long does it take to build a water boat?"

"It will take about two months if a hundred craftsmen work together and the materials are complete."

"That is to say, I need to mobilize ten thousand craftsmen to build ten such boats in two months?"

"Yes." Xiao Ruo Ao answered, and added: "after being proficient, this time should be shortened for a few days."

Qi emperor Mou Guang looked at him deeply, "so what brother Xiao can offer me is only a drawing?"

Xiao Ruo Ao corrected: "it's three drawings, water boat, fire gun and artillery."

Blood shadow sneered: "just three pieces of paper, I want to exchange for 100000 troops. The abacus of Chu emperor is very good."

Xiao Ruo Ao's eyes flashed over his face and fell on the thoughtful Qi emperor, "the Qi emperor knows the value of these three pieces of paper best, but he will never lose. In addition What Xiao wants is not 100000 troops, but 200000. "

"Two hundred thousand?" Xueying took a cold breath, then sneered: "the emperor of Chu has a big appetite."

"Don't be rude." After drinking the movie, Emperor Qi apologized and said, "let brother Xiao laugh."

Xiao Ruo Ao said calmly: "it's not in the way, but I don't know what the emperor Qi means."

Emperor Qi thought for a moment and said, "this matter is very important. Can I go back and think about it carefully and reply brother Xiao in three days?"

Xiao Ruo Ao was not satisfied with this answer, but after all, this is the home of Qi emperor. He didn't dare to press too hard and nodded: "OK, wait for the news of Qi emperor in three days."

Three days later, the Qi emperor summoned Xiao Ruo Ao into the palace. He agreed to the latter's request to exchange three drawings for 200000 soldiers, but he also made a condition that he had to wait three months.

First, it takes time for 200000 soldiers to mobilize; second, it takes time for him to verify the authenticity of the three drawings. Three months is enough for him to build ten water boats and hundreds of muskets.

This condition is undoubtedly harsh, but Xiao Ruo Ao agreed, but he also made a request, that is, to provide drawings in batches. Before he handed over the last part of the drawings, he must see 200000 soldiers and military amulets.

After seeing off Xiao Ruo Ao, Xueying frowned and said, "in fact, your majesty doesn't have to make any deal with him. Just let him hand in the drawing."

"Hand it in?" Emperor Qi sneered and said, "I didn't ask you to go to the post house to find the drawings. What happened?"

Xueying's face turned red. When he came back from outside the city, the Qi emperor ordered him to sneak into the post station, waiting for an opportunity to check Xiao Ruo Ao's package to see if he could find the drawing. But he got nothing.

Blood shadow muttered: "otherwise I'll look for you again? "

The Qi emperor took the tea from the inner prison and said indifferently, "no, it's the same result if you go ten more times. You can't find it because there are no drawings at all."

"No drawings?" The blood shadow is full of amazement, "so, Xiao Ruo Ao is deceiving us?"

"That's not true, but..." Qi Di pointed to his head and said, "he hid the drawing here. No one can get it except himself."

"I see." Blood shadow suddenly, and then hesitated: "Your Majesty really intends to use 200000 troops in exchange for drawings?"

Qi Di didn't answer the rhetorical question, "isn't it good?"

Blood shadow worried voice: "the Chu emperor is the most insidious and cunning, but I'm afraid that once he holds military power, it will do harm to your majesty."

"I know." Qi Di's reply was unexpected. He didn't understand and said, "since your majesty knows it, why do you agree?"

"Because I want those three drawings!" Light and shadow came in through the window paper, and one of them fell on the hand of emperor Qi. He opened his five fingers and then slowly grasped them. Light and shadow were invisible and immaterial, but at this moment, it seemed that he held them firmly in his hand.

"Only when I get those three drawings can I win the Northern Zhou Dynasty and dominate the country!" Emperor Qi said word by word, with deep fear in his eyes.

Although the state of Qi was safe and sound in recent years, and even its national strength was further expanded, the emperor of Qi was not at ease for a moment. Instead, he was in fear all the time. The source of all this was the Northern Zhou Dynasty.Dongling, Yan and Xichu, one after another, were destroyed or surrendered by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He knew very well that it would not be long before his turn. So he made arrangements as early as a few years ago, but it was not enough. Every time he thought about the firearms in the hands of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he would be uneasy.

In recent years, he summoned all the organ division of Qi, but he failed to produce a firegun comparable to that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which could only be used once at most. It can be imagined how attractive Xiao Ruo Ao's firegun, firegun and water boat were to him.

"I'm afraid your majesty is looking for the skin of a tiger."

"Don't worry, I won't really give him military power." Emperor Qi looked at his slender white fingers under the light and shadow, and said coldly, "even if there is a tiger, it is me."

After a moment of silence, he said, "is there any news from the Northern Zhou Dynasty?"

Xueying nodded and said, "yes, the army led by dongfangze has returned to Jinling two days ago."

Qi Di sipped a warm cup of tea, "where is the letter I asked you to pass?"

"According to your Majesty's command, it has been sent out a few days ago. Counting the days, it should be in his hands soon."

"Good." Qi Di nodded with satisfaction, "if we can cooperate with each other, we will not worry about the death of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

Blood shadow flatters the tunnel: "Your Majesty is the son of destiny, and everything will come true."

Qi emperor raised a deep smile, "I hope so."

No matter the drawings or the world, he is determined to get them, and no one can stop him.
