Chapter 139 Time flies
Chapter 139 Time flies
"Brother Lin, don't think too much. General Jianfeng deployed nine lines of defense and countless hidden sentries before leaving. There is no chance of a successful sneak attack in Liang Kingdom."
The guard then spoke.
Lin Xiaofan nodded. As expected of Qingzhou's great general, he still remained vigilant after a great victory. Nine lines of defense are enough to deal with the Liang Kingdom. But if Daliang and Daqian countries join forces, how should they deal with it?
Before Lin Xiaofan could think about it, several workers walked in with repeating crossbows.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents, Lian Nu had always been placed in the warehouse of Lin Xiaofan's house, so it was fetched very quickly.
The tooth that Jianfeng contacted has not arrived yet, so the daily output is only ten. After fifteen days, there were a total of one hundred and fifty repeating crossbows.
Several guards picked up a repeating crossbow, looked at it back and forth for a while, and praised it again and again.
As the elite of the Qingzhou Army, they knew all kinds of weapons, so they quickly saw how to use the crossbow.
It can be said that this repeating crossbow has greatly lowered the threshold for archers, and it can also shorten the shooting gap and facilitate aiming. It is much more convenient than a bow and arrow.
I just don’t know how far this repeating crossbow can shoot.
But since it is recognized by General Jianfeng, the range and performance must be good.
Lin Xiaofan wanted to stay with a few people for a meal, but they left in a hurry because they were in a hurry.
……
Degao Town, Tianshang Inn.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a quick knock on the door.
"Miss, it's me."
Chen Xue didn't hear the expected knock signal, frowned, put her hand on the short knife, and then opened the door.
The slave in green clothes walked into the room, breathing heavily, obviously running all the way. His face was also pale, and his eyes were frightened.
"Xiaoqing, what happened?"
Chen Xue supported the slave in green clothes in front of her, then looked at the people behind who had not come, and realized that something must have happened to Nanny Liu.
But what on earth could have scared Xiaoqing like this?
You must know that this slave of yours has strong martial arts skills and a strong personality. In addition, when he was a child, he was picked out from the dead by members of his family. He has always been a master who is not afraid of anything.
"Xiaoqing, don't be impatient and speak slowly."
Chen Xue stroked the green-clothed slave's back and spoke to comfort her.
The slave in green clothes took a breath, calmed down her mood, and then said tremblingly:
"Mama Liu, she's dead."
Although Chen Xue had expected it, she still felt nervous.
Grandma Liu has been with her for four or five years and has helped her handle countless affairs. The sudden news of her death made her feel a little sad. Apart from that, she was more filled with fear.
You know, if Nanny Liu hides, she won't be able to find her. And before leaving, she gave Nanny Liu special instructions to put her own safety first and only assassinate the escorts and not provoke Lin Xiaofan.
But even so, she was still killed.
Looking at Xiao Qing in front of him, he was so frightened. Could it be that he had encountered some peerless master?
That's not the case. Xiaoqing has been following him for so many years. What master has he not seen?
"Xiaoqing, don't be impatient. Sit down and talk slowly. What happened?"
Chen Xue guided patiently.
Xiaoqing picked up the tea cup on the table, drank it in one gulp, and said:
"Miss, Lin Xiaofan and the others have tricks up their sleeves. Don't provoke them in the future."
Ghostly means?
Chen Xueliu raised her eyebrows slightly, but her heart was full of doubts.
Her father had told her since she was a child that all ghosts and gods were made up by people and did not exist in the world.
Growing up, she had seen many capable people and strangers, and there were also many pretenders, but her father exposed them one by one. For this reason, she never believed in ghosts and gods.
Thinking of this, she felt a lot more relieved. As long as Lin Xiaofan wasn't a peerless master, he could handle it.
This man took away her innocence, and she would never let him go easily!
"Miss, when I went there this morning, I saw Lin Xiaofan and Jian Bai operating in the snow for a while, and then left that place. After a few seconds, there was a sudden explosion, and the land where they were standing was A big hole came out directly, and a lot of sparks were scattered nearby. Grandma Liu was right next to her, and she was swept away more than ten meters away."
There was an explosion, and a big hole opened directly, and it flew away more than ten meters away.
Chen Xue opened her mouth, her eyes a little confused. She really couldn't figure out how to do all of this at the same time.
Xiao Qing is a slave who has followed her since she was a child, so there is no way she can lie to her.
She could understand the popping sound, and a lot of things could make it.
It is possible to fly more than ten meters, if the person is strong enough. Even if you don't have enough strength, you can still do it with combined efforts.
But how could a big hole suddenly appear in the ground?
"Xiao Qing, are you sure there is a hole in the ground? You didn't see it wrong, right?"
Chen Xue's face was full of doubts.
"It's absolutely true, it's definitely a big hole."
Seeing that Chen Xue didn't want to believe her, Xiao Qing hurriedly cleared the way. She didn't want to believe everything she said, but it was the truth.
Chen Xue thought for a while and sneered.
Lin Xiaofan had probably dug the big hole a long time ago. When Xiao Qing gets there, he will fake these scenes to scare Xiao Qing.
If her father hadn't told her since she was a child that ghosts and gods were all fake, she might have been deceived by Lin Xiaofan.
"Xiaoqing, I believe you."
Chen Xue comforted her, then her eyes turned cold and she turned to the direction of Lijiazhuang.
Lin Xiaofan, with his good tactics, killed another of my capable men, and also succeeded in scaring Xiao Qing.
……
Dusk passes and morning comes, and another month passes by in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xiaofan was sitting at the door when a strong wind blew by and heavy snow like goose feathers hit him.
Looking up, dark clouds blocked the sun, and the originally beautiful snow scene became a bit desolate.
"Husband, be careful of catching a cold."
Liu Sisi walked out of the house and put another coat on Lin Xiaofan.
Lin Xiaofan looked into the distance and sighed.
This heavy snow has been falling continuously for a month, and the whole world has been covered with a thick layer of snow. If calculated according to the measurement units of the previous life, the weather has reached close to [-] degrees below zero.
I don’t know when this snow will fall. I don’t know how many people can’t survive this winter.
In the distance, a thin figure gradually approached. It was the slave Chen Gong who had been taken in before.
"My lord, a new Lei Zhenzi has been made."
Chen Gong bowed and took out a small wooden bucket from his arms.
Twenty-five days ago, the largest tooth shop in Qingzhou that Jianfeng said came to him and sold him twenty-five craftsman slaves.
Thinking that there were enough manpower to make repeating crossbows, and that this assembly line-like job was too unqualified for Chen Gong, he called Chen Gong to study Lei Zhenzi.
Chen Gong did not disappoint him. In ten days, he improved a large-scale thunder formation. In the past twenty-five days, a small Lei Zhenzi has been made.
After seeing Jianfeng's personal guards last time, Lin Xiaofan always felt that something was going to happen at the border.
And during these days, he and Jian Bai were not idle either, making a large amount of gunpowder to prepare for emergencies.
