Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 461 [Embassy]

  Thinking of this, Geng Yongxin sighed silently in his heart, not knowing where the opponent's heavy artillery came from.

  I have been in the army for so many years, but I have never been able to equip this level of guns.

  He thought of the officials in charge of construction in the imperial court. It was their duty to supply military supplies to the army, but this also became a good business for them.

  Every time I go to collect supplies, I have to be humble and hand over enough lai see before I can get it.

  And if the money given is not enough, you can only receive defective or second-hand products.

  Even if enough money is given, what can be received is only some inferior products, low quality and poor materials, often unusable. I don't know how many benefits those people have embraced on this.

  Even now that he has taken over the city defense and is no longer in the past, he has spent a lot of energy in order to equip his soldiers with armor.

   Years of shoddy goods and shoddy goods, so that there are not many usable things in the warehouse.

  He could only order people to search and search in the warehouse, try and try, and try to find those as old as possible, so that they can equip the guards with armor and boots.

  The remaining ones in the warehouse now have knives and guns that break at the touch, armor as thin as a piece of paper, liveries that are poor and fragile, and guns and artillery are useless at all.

   Geng Yongxin felt that if anyone dared to release the firecrackers and cannons stored in the warehouse, he would probably die in the first round.

  Of course, with the quality of the gunpowder in the warehouse, it is more likely that it will not fire at all.

  But there is no shortage of lead bullets. Soldiers are allotted with molds, and some lead can be melted when cooking, so that they can make their own, but there are no guns, blunderbuss, or medicines, and they are useless.

   Even so, those moths did not budge.

  They didn't care about Geng Yongxin's power over the city defense, and they didn't care whether he was important in the imperial city or not. Maybe it was the people behind him who gave them confidence. Geng Yongxin was also blackmailed several times.

   This made him grit his teeth just thinking about it.

   It’s really costing money and life. These moths should really let the outside rebels break the city and hang these moths. I heard that they are never soft.

  Ah, this kind of thinking is not right, he quickly checked himself in his heart.

   After all, he is in his position, and he is still loyal enough to the imperial court. Even if the city is safe to defend, he must do his best.

Maybe in ten days and a half months, I will be beheaded here by the rebel army outside the city, and I am still timid about such things as military resources, I am really not a son of man, Geng Yongxin laughed at himself in his heart I have too many restraints, at the critical moment, with the military power in my hands, and being coerced by a group of corrupt officials

  He hated all of this, but he couldn't resist.

  Perhaps, as I grow older, I have already been tamed by this world? Geng Yongxin couldn't help thinking of his own background...

  After he became an aristocrat, he can be regarded as "noble-born" in this world, but it has been passed down to his generation, and the brothers have been fighting fiercely for the title of nobility. Geng Yongxin was young and energetic at the time, so he ran out of the house directly to participate in the martial arts.

   As a result, relying on enough practice and nutrition from childhood to adulthood, he succeeded in one fell swoop, thus breaking away from family disputes.

  Over the years, he has also participated in many battles, slowly rose to this position, and even won a new title for himself, thus completely staying away from the disputes of his brothers at home, and being able to respect each other every time he goes home. Although, this is only because he no longer poses a threat to his brothers.

  As the years get older, the original vigor is gradually worn away in the unsatisfactory barracks, and it becomes softer and smoother. It's just the thoughts of his youth, which never left. Geng Yongxin knows what he likes and what he hates.

   Exhaled lightly, Geng Yongxin turned his gaze back to the front.

   Spreading his hands in front of him, he carefully looked at the city defense map on the table, lost in thought. How can this city last longer? Every time he thought of this, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

  At this moment, the door curtain was lifted open.

  In the originally noisy big tent, it suddenly became quiet, and the sudden change from noisy to quiet awakened Geng Yongxin who was thinking.

  He immediately raised his head, scanned his surroundings, and followed the eyes of his staff towards the tent door.

"who are you?"

   Seeing the person coming, Geng Yongxin asked suspiciously.

   Immediately afterwards, he suddenly woke up in his heart. This is a large tent of the Chinese army, not everyone can get in, and the two people on the opposite side must not be good friends.

  Several guesses flashed in his mind, but his face remained calm, waiting for someone to speak.

But I saw the older man in front stepped forward, saluted slightly, and said with his head held high, "I heard that General Geng is in charge of the defense of the imperial city at this critical time, and he is very powerful. I am here to pay my respects. I hope that General Geng will be able to meet you in his busy schedule." Take some time and give us a chance to meet alone."

   Geng Yongxin didn't move, but changed the phrase and repeated the previous question:

   "But who are you?"

   Lu Ze saluted again, and replied: "I will explain clearly to the general later, but now there are too many people, so it is not appropriate."

   Geng Yongxin, who had always acted vigorously in front of him, didn't think he was disobedient to the somewhat rude words in front of him. He laughed and said, "Then come to the small tent next to it, come in and talk."

   "No way, general!" "No way, general!"

  The staff next to them exploded in an instant. They kept uttering dissuasion and wanted to call the guards outside to stop the two of them.

  In their view, these two people who came here suddenly through the thick camp are extremely dangerous, and it is unwise to expose General Geng, who is the core of the city defense, to them alone.

  If these two people are assassins...

   Moreover, the silent young man in white was carrying a long sword behind his back, and that sword could not be an ornament.

"nothing."

Geng Yongxin raised his hand and stopped the words of the staff around him: "I believe that the two of them are not assassins. Without it, we don't have weapons. If we really want to assassinate, no one can block the surroundings. Therefore, they Since they came here and asked for a meeting without making a move, they cannot be assassins, otherwise they would have gone back long ago."

  The staff members looked at each other, but in the end Geng Yongxin couldn't hold back, and watched them enter a separate space.

  The large tent of the Chinese army was erected directly on the open space in the city. After all, there is no large room to find and use near the city wall. And the big tent of the Chinese army is not simply only one tent, but there are two small tents beside it, forming a left and right guard style.

  The talks took place in such a small tent.

  After the guards who brought the tea left, Fang Chang waved his hand and added a mute spell to the small tent to prevent the content of the conversation from being heard by the ear on the partition wall.
