Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 172
"The crossbow is dead, but the bow is alive, so the bow is more difficult to practice than the crossbow.

But most people tend to be competitive and like challenges. This is human nature. "

Pulling out the feathered arrow, Liu Bei aimed without aiming, just opened the bow and shot.

"Snatch!"

Heart border.

"Whizzing!"

Shoot two more arrows.

Eighty-nine are inseparable from ten, with a total score of 25 rings.

The grades are solid.

While pondering over what the lord said, Sun Xia opened his bow and arrow.

Twenty rings, one nine rings, win.

Liu Bei nodded, Sun Xia's archery is still outstanding.

"How long have you been practicing?"

Sun Xia said: "There are always some in seven or eight years, but after following the lord, the accuracy will gradually get better."

Liu Bei asked again: "How long does it take for ordinary people to practice to reach your level?"

"Successful at the beginning of three years, good in three years, as for excellence depends on each person's talent, it's hard to say."

Liu Bei asked again, "What about the crossbow?"

Sun Xia smiled: "Those who can hold the crossbow can almost go into battle after three days of practice."

In the battle of defending the city in ancient times, civilians could help to load the crossbow, and even use the crossbow machine to kill the enemy.

Archers are powerful, but time-consuming and labor-intensive, and bows are expensive.

In contrast, instant crossbowmen are more economical and cost-effective.

Putting down their bows, Liu Bei and Sun Xia came to the sand table.

The miniature landscape of the Eastern Capital is unobstructed.

The four mansions of He Yuan, Liu Tang, Nanfeng Huangzhuang, and the Los Angeles Stock Exchange have all been planted with red flags, indicating that they are in hot spots.

"Liu Neng did this, what do you think?"

Sun Xia has a lot of experience. Farmers, Yellow Turban Army, Slavery Camp, Special Forces, and Public Security Bureau have dealt with conspiracies and tricks almost all the year round.

As the lord's hardcore, Liu Neng is very familiar with him.

Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, Liu Neng has never concealed his ambition to win the world for his lord.

However, Liu Bei has always suppressed this idea, or in other words, did not respond positively to seeking to usurp the throne.

According to most people's normal thinking, when the Yongzhou army defeated the Dong He coalition army in Mengjin and occupied Miyagi with the cooperation of Sun Jian, it was the best opportunity.

However, Liu Bei did not do that, and many people in the Yongzhou family could not understand it. Therefore, another idea spread.

"The lord is too benevolent and caring for the people. He will never take the initiative to change the dynasty unless he is elected by the officials, soldiers and people to support him."

Sun Xia probably guessed that these words came from Liu Neng. In addition to expressing dissatisfaction, they also encouraged the middle and lower ranks to create "fait accompli" and force Liu Bei to submit.

Therefore, this "assassination and revenge" is Liu Neng's test of the protagonist's true intentions and bottom line.

Now it seems that the lord takes Liu Neng decisively and replaces Liu Bingkun, who is more secure, to control Jinyiwei.

Liu Neng made a mistake in his prediction, so he could only go back to Shangjun and think about it behind closed doors.

What do you think?
"The old butler has a good heart!"

Liu Bei smiled and said nothing.

Sun Xia changed the subject: "However, it's not uncommon for people to do bad things with good intentions. It's good to go back and rest for a while."

Liu Bei still looked at the sand table, noncommittal.

Sun Xia thought for a while, and continued: "I think, since the old housekeeper still has the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, it's a pity not to use it, or else, think of a way to lure the snake out of the hole?"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "You can think what you want, but there is one thing: don't make it too ugly."

Sun Xia's eyes lit up, and she immediately bowed to accept the order: "I understand!"

Back at the Public Security Bureau, Sun Xia read Lou Se's file.

"This person's surname is Lou and his name is Se. He is the perpetrator of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange bombing. He has been living in Nanfeng Manor recently. Prepare documents and apply for a search warrant."

The clerk asked, "Do you apply overnight?"

Sun Xia smiled slyly: "Can you bear the empress dowager's embarrassment?"

Now, with great efficiency, within a short time, the application report from the Public Security Bureau was submitted to Jing Zhaoyin Gaixun's residence.

At this time, it was already the middle of the night, and Gai Xun hadn't slept yet.

The shocking murder happened in his own jurisdiction, so what a fart!

Gai Xun frowned after reading Sun Xia's documents in the street, feeling a chill in his heart.

As we all know, the Nanfeng Manor in the official document is a real royal farm.

No matter whether the search and arrest warrant is issued or not, he will not be caught.

What is even more exasperating is that the people in the Public Security Bureau said with certainty: whoever dares to procrastinate will not give the Empress Dowager the face of the emperor and maliciously despise the authority of the court.

With nothing to do, Gai Xun could only visit Yuan Ji.

The Yuan Mansion is brightly lit, it is not only the pillar of the court, but also the family members of the victims.

Because of Yuan Tan's tragic experience, the Yuan family's old friends gathered together, filled with justice and indignation, and the crowd was passionate.

Yuan Ji knew that Gai Xun was coming, there must be something important, so he met with him alone in the study.

"The Public Security Bureau wants to investigate Huangzhuang, what can I do?"

Yuan Ji already knew about Tianlongwei's situation, but he couldn't understand Lou Se's bizarre assassination.

He shook his head and refused decisively.

"No matter what, Nanfeng Manor must not be searched."

Gai Xun felt that something was wrong, so he asked: "If the Public Security Bureau uses this as an excuse to delay, the general will probably not be able to explain it."

Yuan Ji weighed the matter quickly. He Jin was only losing face, but once Tianlongwei was exposed, it would only affect the emperor.

At that time, the consequences will be unpredictable.

"The general is with me."

But Gai Xun asked back: "What if they really want to investigate?"

Yuan Ji thought carefully, this is not impossible.

This time, Jin Yiwei's display of terror is enough to show that many of Liu Bei's subordinates can no longer hold back.

No matter which way you look at it, Liu Bei is indeed suppressing the young men under his command.

However, who can guarantee that those simple-minded reckless fools will not be incited and bewitched to suddenly attack?
At present, Dongdu is like a powder keg, which will detonate at the slightest spark.

In any case, the situation cannot be further expanded, otherwise, the world will be turned upside down.

"Then let's wait until we get to the court."

Gai Xun reluctantly leaves, Yuan Ji finds Guo Jia.

He read it right. On the first day of the opening of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange, Guo Jia won the second prize after Huitong.

Compared with the results, the decision-making process is the key.

This young man's victory shows that he has a deep understanding of the situation and people's hearts.

Heroes come out of troubled times, and boys come out of heroes.

"Feng Xiao, you don't need to see outsiders, please sit down!"

Guo Jia came in a hurry with a serious expression on his face.

Obviously, Jin Yiwei's cruel methods also made him feel strong pressure.

"That's the situation. Based on your judgment, what will Zhi Jinwu do next?"

After Yuan Ji introduced the situation, he asked the other party directly.

After roughly completing the information, Guo Jia is like a precise and efficient textile machine, quickly sorting out the thread ends and weaving them into cloth.

"Zhi Jinwu is ambitious, and the arrogant soldiers under his command are also ready to move. Jin Yiwei lost control this time, and the follow-up development can be divided into two types."

"Knock the mountain to shake the tiger, deter the court, appease the subordinates, force the middle and lower officials to join forces, build momentum for usurping the throne, and lay the foundation."

"Use the Tianlongwei incident to make waves, damage the reputation of the emperor, and then abolish the emperor and take sole control of the court."

Yuan Ji was worried about this situation, and wanted to find a way to reverse it, so he asked, "Is there a way to deal with it?"

After Guo Jialue pondered, he said: "There are three strategies for the Taifu to consider. First, unite with the province's middle and generals and various states and counties to prevent Zhi Jinwu from slandering the emperor, and divide and win over capable people under his command."

"Second, negotiate a compromise with Zhi Jinwu, you can seal the king and Jianguo, ask him to move to the vassal state, and at the same time strengthen the army and cultivate martial arts, and plan for a rainy day."

Yuan Ji felt that these two measures were so-so, but they could not completely solve the problem.

"What is Feng Xiao's last strategy?"

Guo Jia cautiously reminded: "My third strategy is too risky, and the success or failure is [-]% equal. If you win, you will win miserably. If you lose, you may be in danger of overthrowing the nest."

Yuan Ji's posture was very respectful: "Oh, I'm all ears!"
