Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 1052 Come in handy
After the snow cleared, the thin ice and snow on the eaves melted and fell to the ground with a "tick" sound, and there was silence between the sky and the earth.

Prime Minister Xiao stood under the eaves, looking at Hongmei in the courtyard, and a shadow knelt silently behind him.

"grown ups,"

Prime Minister Xiao's voice did not fluctuate at all: "How?"

The dark guard reported: "In the past few days, the soldiers have practiced day and night, and they can fight against a hundred. They have already prepared enough food and grass. We will follow you to the death when your lord gives an order."

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short time, the truth has raised them for so many years, and they will finally come in handy."

"It's just that our people are only in the tens of thousands, and it may be difficult to compete with an army of millions."

Prime Minister Xiao's eyes were gloomy, reflecting the light of snow, and even more icy: "Is there any whereabouts of "Bodhi Picture"?"

The secret guard pleaded guilty: "This subordinate is incompetent."

"Keep looking."

"Yes."

"Is there any news from the people sent to Dongzhou and Xiling?"

"Our people have already infiltrated the Eastern Zhou Palace. I believe that in time, we will be able to obtain the "Bodhi Picture". As for Xiling, the picture of Xiling was snatched away by a mysterious person, and its whereabouts are unknown."

Prime Minister Xiao stood in the cold wind with his hands behind his back, his body shivering heavily: "The most urgent thing is to find the other two pictures. If you have two pictures in hand, are you afraid that you won't be able to draw the third picture?"

"What your lord said is true. The secret guard also sent back a message that the king of Yue in Xiling and the nine princesses look exactly the same."

Prime Minister Xiao's eyes moved: "Exactly the same?"

"Yes." The dark guard presented the portrait, "My lord, please take a look."

Prime Minister Xiao opened it and saw that they looked exactly the same.

It is not surprising that people are similar, but they look exactly the same, so it is worth investigating.

One is the royal family of the Ye clan, and the other is the concubine daughter of the Rong family. What is the connection between them?

It's a pity that the Rong family is gone, and there is no way to find out if they want to investigate.

The dark guard asked: "My lord, do you want to investigate this matter in detail?"

Prime Minister Xiao pondered and said: "Check it out, maybe one day it can be used by us."

"Yes."

"The secret work we put into the Shenji Camp has been pulled out, but the blueprints for the firearms must be obtained. You must do this by yourself."

If you can forge firearms, why be afraid of millions of troops?
However, the blueprints of the firearms must be hidden extremely secretively, the movement is too loud, and it is easy to alarm the people in the Shenji Camp. The hidden guard suggested: "Why don't you just grab a craftsman to forge the firearms?"

Prime Minister Xiao said: "The craftsmen who can forge firearms are all confidantes of Prince Yun's mansion, how could they easily betray the lord? Even if they are captured, they are just a corpse. What's the use?"

In the beginning, in order to prevent people from coveting firearms, Rong Jiu suggested that each craftsman should only be responsible for a small part of the firearms. In this way, even if a craftsman is captured, he will know one thing, and if he wants to forge firearms, he must be captured. All artisans.

There was still snow dripping from the eaves. Amidst the "tick" sound, there was silence under the eaves. The cold wind blew the corner of his robe, and there was no one behind Prime Minister Xiao.

Yunjin captured Linfen City with firearms, and then attacked Ye Jinge with Beiyan from both sides. As soon as the firearms were fired, the enemy fled. In addition, there was no food and grass supply. Xiling's army retreated steadily, forcing Emperor Ling to Send the letter of credence to Beiyan, requesting a truce.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty had also withdrawn its troops from the border, Yuan Chong had led his army back to the court, but Yun Jin still stationed in Linfen City with an army of [-], and had no plan to return to the court.

Prime Minister Xiao stood quietly in the cold wind, with a deep look in his eyes.
