Ji Yungui stood beside Fu Xiaoguan.
He heard Fu Xiaoguan's words clearly, but he didn't quite understand what complete meant.
But it seems that Your Majesty has become interested in the territories of Western Xia and Liao Dynasty, which means another war is about to begin.
"Our spies have already been lurking in the Great Xianbei Mountains, and that army is still expanding. The Liao Dynasty has attracted everyone's attention by fighting against the Western Xia, but almost all of the Liao Dynasty's elite warriors have been secretly sent to the Great Xianbei Mountains."
"Now that army has been divided into three armies, each with a strength of 150,000 men, which is a full 450,000 men."
Fu Xiaoguan tilted his head and thought for a moment. "With so many people, how much food and fodder would be needed? Does Yelu Qing really think he can hide this from others?"
"The Great Xianbei Mountains are extremely vast, with rolling hills. Ever since the earliest army arrived, they've been operating there for four years! They haven't used any external supplies and are self-sufficient... In other words, they cultivate fields within the mountains, including sweet potatoes."
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned. His master was really capable.
But the spy had appeared in Xianbei Mountain before. Although he was killed by him, he must have known that the place had been exposed... Since it had been exposed, what he should do is either to attack Daxia from the mountain, or to choose another place in Daxianbei Mountain.
But he didn't do that.
He continued to expand the army and even built an arms and firearms factory there.
What exactly does he want to do?
"Su Changsheng is very familiar with the Daxia army. He can effectively prevent our army's surprise attack by taking advantage of the geographical advantages of the Great Xianbei Mountains. The reason he is waiting... is probably to wait for the bulletproof armor to be replicated."
That army is now equipped with flintlock rifles. If they are equipped with bulletproof armor and trained by Su Changsheng, it will indeed be an army that can compete with the Great Xia Army.
Now it seems that Su Changsheng is indeed waiting.
And I also need time.
Although the Mauser rifle has begun production, its current production capacity is extremely low. If Su Changsheng postpones the time of this battle to one or two years later... Fu Xiaoguan feels that he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
The metal bullets of the Mauser rifle can penetrate bulletproof armor at a distance of 300 meters. I must give my master a surprise then.
"We must not relax our surveillance of Su Changsheng's army for even a moment. Equipping an army of 450,000 people requires a huge amount of financial resources. I'm worried that if the Liao Dynasty runs out of financial resources, Yelu Qing might not let Su Changsheng wait until everything is ready."
"Even if the Liao Dynasty can afford it, we can't wait until everything is ready... If the enemy doesn't move, then this war will begin in June!"
By June, 20,000 Mauser rifles were produced and delivered first to the 20,000 Marines... According to that bold plan, 20,000 first-rate masters, wearing bulletproof armor, holding Mauser rifles, would take the sea route and directly attack the Liao Dynasty's Zhongjing Dading Prefecture. What would that scene be like?
"Where is Cui Yueming now?"
"He has already arrived in Dading Prefecture of the Liao Dynasty."
"Where's my dad?"
"He...also went to the Liao Dynasty."
Fu Xiaoguan was surprised. "Didn't he say he was going back to his home in Mozhou?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has moved his family from Mozhou back to the Fu Mansion in Linjiang... Those family members are on their way to Linjiang."
Fatty, there's nothing wrong with you moving your family back to Linjiang Fu Mansion, so why did you run off to the Liao Dynasty?
His heart suddenly tightened, "He won't run to find Su Changsheng, right?"
Su Changsheng is known as the number one martial artist in the world, and the fat man is his junior fellow apprentice. Doesn't this mean that the old man is tired of living and wants to hang himself?
Now that the news that Xu Yunqing is alive has not been concealed, it must have spread. Based on Su Changsheng's information, he must have heard about it. In this way, he must understand that he has been exposed. Then, if the fat man really meets Su Changsheng, will he still regard the fat man as his junior brother?
Fu Xiaoguan's pupils shrank: "Find him and make sure he comes back!"
…
…
The northern foot of the Daxianbei Mountains.
There is an extremely ordinary solitary peak here.
There is a thatched hut on the hillside of the lonely grave that no one can notice.
It is hidden among the mountains and forests, and is even more inconspicuous under the cover of white snow.
That night, a terrifying lantern was lit in the thatched cottage.
Under the Qisifeng lamp was an old small square table, on which was placed a freshly roasted whole lamb, and two people were sitting in front of the table.
The fat man picked up the bottle and poured a glass of wine for Su Changsheng, then cut off a leg of lamb and handed it to Su Changsheng.
"During those years at the Taoist temple, it was Senior Brother who took care of me... He always saved all the delicious food and drinks for me. I'm so grateful! I'd like to toast to you!"
Su Changsheng raised his glass, a gentle smile still on his face. "I heard that Junior Sister is not dead. I am actually very happy in my heart. The only thing Master asked me to do was to take good care of Junior Sister..."
He sighed deeply, raised his glass, drank a toast with the fat man, smacked his lips twice, and continued, "So, in the border town, I saw my junior sister die in my arms. I felt extremely sad, so, my senior brother left under the pretext of looking for Su Jue and Gao Yuanyuan."
"As for you, Junior Brother, I am the eldest brother of the Taoist Academy after all. It is my duty to take care of you, Junior Brother. You don't need to worry about it."
Official Fu cut a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth, chewing it hard. He was silent for a moment.
"It would be great if Big Brother really went to look for Su Jue and the others."
Su Changsheng also picked up the lamb leg and took a big bite, tearing off a large piece of meat.
He chewed vigorously, and after a while, he swallowed the mutton and said, "I don't know where to go. The official said to go west, but I went north and ended up here..."
After a pause, he looked up at the fat man and said, "You shouldn't have come to see me."
"I'm afraid no one in this world can find you except me. By the way, I came to you because there are two questions I can't figure out. I hope you can help me solve them."
"Junior brother, please speak."
The fat man sat cross-legged on the stool and asked, "Biancheng, was it Wu Changfeng who informed you too late, or did you deliberately arrive a little late?"
Su Changsheng laughed, "I just want to see if there are any bullets left in that big gun in my hand."
The fat man's slightly sparse brows frowned. This was not the answer, but it was the answer.
Su Changsheng was half a step late on purpose!
"You were worried about the big gun in his hand, so you didn't attack him at that time?"
“That’s not the main reason.”
"What's the main reason?"
"That old bald donkey Fan Wuxiang knows too much and has done too many things, so Fan Wuxiang must die, and those monks must die too!"
Su Changsheng's indifference disappeared, and he was a little excited, so much so that his face looked a little ferocious.
