And in front of...

All ten crossbow bolts were engulfed in a huge boulder, and there were many small holes in the boulder, as if... they were left behind when other repeating crossbows were tested.

"Good boy..." Zhang Fei couldn't help but exclaimed: "This thing is so powerful!"

Although, since arriving in Jiangling, he has heard about the Lian Nu countless times, and everyone says it is a magical weapon.

But...just how awesome is it?

Zhang Fei couldn't think clearly with his spatial imagination.

But now...it's fine!

He said it with his own eyes, Zhang Fei thought, if the stone steps could be shot through, wouldn't the ordinary armor be just like cotton?

So much so that Zhang Fei felt that if he were to be hit by the crossbow bolt at close range, no matter how strong his bones were, they would still be penetrated, and there would be no life left!

"This thing...if you keep a distance, it's no less powerful than my eight-foot-long snake spear!"

Zhang Fei shouted and put down his repeated crossbow.

Just when he put it down, Zhang Fei saw the words "Huang Laoxie" written on it.

Suddenly, he had an idea... and thought of something.

He immediately chased Huang Chengyan's donkey.

This time he didn't ask about "Huang Laoxie" and "Hong Qigong". He said directly: "Old Man Huang, this crossbow is so easy to use. No matter what, you have to give me one!"

Based on this old acquaintance, it stands to reason that Huang Chengyan should not refuse.

I never thought...

With the sound of "hush", Huang Chengyan stopped the donkey's steps.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Fei seriously.

"I only make these repeating crossbows in this villa, but I don't care about delivering them!"

"Then who's in charge of delivering it? Just tell me and I'll go find him!"

Zhang Fei answered quickly.

Huang Chengyan said without hesitation: "If you want to ask for it, go to that brat Guan Lin. He has the final say on this serial crossbow!"

As he spoke, Huang Chengyan planned to drive the donkey again.

I never thought that Zhang Fei's eyes would be so bright.

He laughed and said: "Haha, I know...it turns out that Huang Laoxie is actually that boy Guan Lin!"

Saying so...

Zhang Fei's heart was filled with joy.

——"Dear me, this Huang Laoxie that everyone talks about is the son-in-law of my old Zhang! Hahahaha..."

I don’t know if he thought he was “as witty as him” and was able to pull out Huang Chengyan’s words.

I still feel that...this "prospective son-in-law" is Huang Laoxie, how can Zhang Fei be the same as Yourong!

For a moment, Zhang Fei was extremely happy.

But Huang Chengyan slapped his forehead...

I muttered in my heart.

——"Oops, this black Zhang Fei got in!"

——"This guy, when did he learn how to be both rough and fine?"

…

…

The boiling water was bubbling, and hot smoke was rising from the warm wine.

Liu Zhen took out the hot wine from the wine pot and poured it for Li Miao.

Li Miao had been silent for a long time before.

Liu Zhen opened his mouth and said: "There is a saying in "Six Tao": 'With a sword you must cut, and with an ax you must cut.' Opportunities arise. When you need to make up your mind about something, you need to make a decisive decision!"

"Are you from Cao Cao?"

Liu Zhen smiled and said, "I am Liu Zhen, the second-class Liu Zhen who is considered by my husband to be a 'good at thinking and strong, fresh and vigorous, too energetic for his writing, and not enough for his carvings'."

Despite saying this, Liu Zhen was not angry at all, and he didn't mind at all.

On the contrary, if Li Miao showed kindness everywhere, Liu Zhen would become suspicious!

"It turns out that your Excellency is Liu Zhen..." Zhang Miao hesitated deliberately. He waited for Liu Zhen to finish the glass of wine before speaking again, "Your Excellency first showed kindness to me and then took out Cao Cao's "Order to Seek Talent." Now

He even said, 'The sword will cut, the ax will cut'. Miao dared to ask Your Excellency, Your Excellency, you said it was an opportunity? I don't know what kind of opportunity it was?"

Liu Zhen laughed: "Brother Li is a very smart man. He has read the "Ling for Seeking Talents". Why do you need to ask me? This glass of wine congratulates Brother Li for abandoning the dark and turning to the light. From then on, he abandons the old and pursues the new, and regains his new life!"

"I am ashamed. The three dragons of the Li family have lived in Bashu for a long time. They are rough and rough people in the mountains. They are not very talented and have little knowledge. I have not been able to understand the profound meaning of your Excellency!"

Liu Zhen sighed, "A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good time chooses its master to do its work. These... I shouldn't mention the words in "Zuo Zhuan". I only ask sir, Zhuge Kongming is in Bashu, but his brother

Why is Zhuge Jin in Soochow? The Pang clan and Pang Tong in Xiangyang voted for Liu Bei? Why did the people of Pangshan vote for Prime Minister Cao? Let’s talk about the Xun clan in Yingchuan far away, why did Xun Chen vote for Yuan Shao and Xun Yu voted for Cao Gong?”

Li Miao asked, "What exactly are you going to say?"

Liu Zhen hesitated for a moment, "I shouldn't mention these things, but I can't bear Mr. Li's secret betrayal. Throughout the ages, in troubled times, how many families have there been? How many children have defected to three parties? Each has his own master? Could it be that... they

Are they all unfaithful? Now that Mr. Li is being humiliated in Bashu and Jingzhou, why should he hang himself from a tree?"

"In the past, I had a good chat with Mr. Zijian, and he said, 'My husband has ambitions all over the world, and he is still close to his neighbors thousands of miles away!' There is another saying in "Chu Ci", 'Would you rather compete with the yellow swans? Would you rather compete with the chickens and swans for food?'

Those who seek change will succeed; those who do not seek refuge will advance! Is Mr. Li willing to spend his whole life in this land of Jingshu, suffering humiliation and doing nothing?"

call…

Li Miao was slightly startled.

——"It's true that I can't do nothing, but...you can't give me what I want! Cao Cao can't give it either!"

I thought so.

Li Miao pretended to be calm, but there was annoyance in his voice.

"Maybe... you are right!"

Liu Zhen shook his head, "With all due respect, Mr. Li is talented, but also arrogant and unruly. The only person in the world who can be loyal to you is Duke Cao. Duke Cao 'appraises talents without regard to their conduct', he only promotes talents..." Duke Cao sighed.

'The Duke of Zhou spits out nourishment, and the world returns to its heart'! If Mr. Li wants to become famous, the only place he can choose is under Cao Gong! Cao Gong is also eager to see through Mr. Li!"

this…

Hearing this... Li Miao deliberately held the wine glass tightly, looking like he had been upset for a long time but still worried.

"But... Zhuzi Guan Lin humiliated me, twice in a row... he took off my clothes and exposed me to the public? I, Li Miao, am so unworthy? Am I worthy of surrendering to Duke Cao?"

"Hahaha..." Liu Zhen laughed and said: "In the past, Mi Heng took off his clothes and beat the drums. The drums were so loud that Mr. Cao was deafened by the sound. After all, he lived in Jingzhou and became Liu Biao's guest! Ni Heng died.

Later, Duke Cao repeatedly mentioned that he could never hear Ni Heng’s sonorous drum sound again!”

"Today...if Mr. Li is in Jingzhou, everyone will be humiliated, but if he goes north, then...Mr. Li taking off his clothes...is enough to shame the Guan family and his son, shame Liu Xuande, and expose his face to the public! By then

, Mr. Li will definitely be a guest at Duke Cao’s throne, and Mr. Li will definitely be able to beat the sonorous drum again!”

Liu Zhen drank it all in one gulp and finally told the whole purpose of his coming here.

Li Miao felt that the time was almost ripe and immediately handed it over.

——"Thanks to Duke Cao's order to seek talents, I am flattered. I hope... Brother Liu will recommend you."

——"Brother Li is very talented, and he is the talent that Duke Cao is looking forward to! After this drink, Brother Li will wait for a few days while I make arrangements. You and I will go north together to visit Duke Cao!"

--"please!"

--"please!"

…

…

——"I can't believe that Huang Laoxie is actually Guan Lin!"

Zhang Fei was very embarrassed.

He couldn't help but get closer to Huang Chengyan, "Old man Huang, look at me... am I a little thinner than before?"

"hehe…"

Faced with Zhang Fei's joking sarcasm, Huang Chengyan glanced at him and said, "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will issue an eviction order!"

"Expulsion order? Hahaha... Who can expel me, Zhang Fei?" Zhang Fei patted his chest, "It's not like I said, these craftsmen in your villa can shoot a repeating crossbow, but if they fight me, a thousand of them can't move me.

Every cent."

"Repay a thousand, and you'll lose one repeating crossbow." Huang Chengyan said casually...
