"It's simple, I'm taking Qian Yang with me."
"Sure, you can take Qian Yang away, but if he leaves, who will take care of Qian Yang's affairs?"
"I can't possibly transfer people from a prefecture."
"Right now, what our Great Li is lacking is talent like Qian Yang. Without him, where will our soldiers get their weapons and armor?"
"So, General, you need to give me an explanation."
"So, if you're taking Qian Yang away, you should at least leave something behind to make up for this loss."
"If you agree, I will immediately issue an order for Qian Yang to return to Dasanguan."
The emperor looked at Liu Feng with a smile.
Liu Feng sighed softly.
"I can give you what you want, but if I do, I won't just be taking Qian Yang with me."
"I have one more condition."
The emperor was overjoyed to see that Liu Feng had relented.
"explain."
"It's very simple. If there are any changes in the war in the south, you must recall Linghu Xiaoshan to me immediately."
"She's mine, and if anything goes wrong..."
Liu Feng suddenly stopped smiling, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
tear…….
Qian Yang and Yong Changshui, who were not far away, couldn't help but gasp.
General Liu is so bold.
He's just a general in a private army, how dare Your Majesty speak like that?
Insubordination is a capital offense.
The emperor chuckled; he knew Liu Feng's temperament well.
He then nodded emphatically.
"Approved."
"Indeed, the old saying is right, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman."
"Ha ha ha ha……."
"Alright, someone bring me pen and ink."
Liu Feng glanced at the emperor with annoyance and walked away.
The young eunuch was very sensible; as soon as he finished speaking, he had already prepared the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and brought them to Liu Feng.
Liu Feng didn't stand on ceremony and started sketching on the paper.
What was drawn was none other than the design blueprint for the bed crossbow, along with the method for making the crow arrows.
The emperor had wanted this for a long time, but without the blueprints, he couldn't produce it even if he wanted to.
Although Linghu Xiaoshan had the twelve crossbows that Liu Feng had given her, even when she was under house arrest by the emperor, she still ordered her confidants to guard the crossbows to the death.
No one is allowed to approach.
This is a rare opportunity for the emperor to have Liu Feng under his control. By exchanging Linghu Xiaoshan for such a powerful weapon, the emperor is guaranteed to make a profit.
Liu Feng was seething with anger. He had been outmaneuvered by the emperor this time, and he was very unhappy.
Now, there's not much more to say. The four leaders of the Seven Star Tower are all trusted confidants sent by the emperor. Since the list wasn't leaked by the main leader, it must have been brought out by the four leaders.
They handed the list to the emperor, who then showed it to Qian Yang at the opportune moment.
The emperor's schemes were actually a trap he set for himself, a way to ruin his own life.
The list was leaked to Qian Yang, who, feeling panicked, passed it on to Qian Mu, who wanted to go to Yanzhou to quell the rebellion. This was the bait the emperor had laid out.
To be honest, the emperor's plan was quite sophisticated, revealing just how deep his cunning was.
Liu Feng himself only connected all the events after he was in the main hall. He never imagined that the person manipulating everything behind the scenes was the emperor, that treacherous and cunning man.
Damn it, damn it.
"alright."
"Take it."
After sketching and drawing on the paper for a while, Liu Feng had already drawn his two design drafts.
The emperor was overjoyed.
"Quickly, bring it to me, bring it to me."
"I want to see just how exquisite it is."
The young eunuch dared not delay for a moment and hurriedly handed the drawings Liu Feng had prepared to the emperor.
At this moment, the ink on the drawing was not yet completely dry. The emperor held it in his hands and examined it carefully, scrutinizing every detail, for fear of missing even the slightest crucial point.
"These are the ballistae and crow arrows you provided for the Fengling army?"
"I see, I see."
"This thing is like fixing a giant bow to a launch pad."
"No, although the appearance looks simple, the details are anything but simple. Amazing, amazing."
"I knew it! I had people try to make it for a long time, but they couldn't."
Now that the design methods for the bed crossbow and the manufacturing methods for the crow arrows have been handed over to the emperor, he naturally no longer keeps them a secret.
The Fengling army had used the bed crossbow before. Although Linghu Xiaoshan did not show it to outsiders, with an army of tens of thousands, there were bound to be some who were the emperor's men, so it was impossible to completely hide it.
However, Liu Feng dared to give it, which shows he could have thought of these things.
It's impossible to replicate a ballista based solely on its appearance and the blueprints drawn from it.
The bandits tried it before, but they failed.
"Good, now that we have such a powerful killing intent, the Wu-Yue allied forces will be no threat."
Upon hearing the emperor's words, Liu Feng chuckled. He had already anticipated this. All this trouble was for the purpose of defeating the Wu-Yue coalition and becoming a restorer of the dynasty.
Seeing the emperor so happy, Liu Feng originally didn't intend to pour cold water on him.
But thinking of the countless ordinary people, Liu Feng couldn't help but offer a reminder.
