“What bad news?”

"Tubo general Pubajia personally led an army of 50,000 to appear on the border. I don't think long before the great purge in Nanzhao will begin. It's hard to say whether Mengzhao can win the results he wants."

After Li Xuansheng learned the bad news that Xiao Chenping said, he felt much more relaxed and there was no worry on his face. Because he knew that Xiao Chenping could come to Fuling, he must have a solution.

Li Xuansheng looked at Xiao Chenping, and his squinting eyes made Xiao Chenping feel a little numb.

Xiao Chenping slapped his white paper fan and smiled at Li Xuansheng, "Don't look at me like that. I have no solution to this matter!"

"Then why did you come to Fuling?"

"Of course it's about watching a good show that will be staged."

"A good show? You can't mean between Mengzhao and Nanzhao..."

"That's right." Xiao Chenping nodded, with a hint of splendor in his eyes. "Xuansheng, do you know that six hundred years ago, the last descendant of the Nanzhao Human Emperor passed the throne to Mengzhao. Mengzhao became the royal family of Nanzhao, and their clan patterned Qingluan became the totem of Nanzhao."

Li Xuansheng said in surprise, "Qingluan Divine Bird? No, right? How do I remember that Mengzhao worshipped Jumang?"

"In Mengzhao's mythological system, Jumang is the servant of Qingluan and the guardian saint of Mengzhao. Three hundred years ago, the statue of Qingluan in the Star Palace suddenly shattered, and then Liuzhao was in turmoil. Shelongzhao became the royal clan of Nanzhao in the final competition. The black dragon flag floated in the Star Palace, and no one has ever mentioned the matter of Mengzhao Qingluan again."

Li Xuansheng suddenly realized, "So that's it, but how did you know that Nanzhao would give birth to **** not long ago?"

Xiao Chenping showed a strange smile on his face, "Xuansheng, these things are naturally news that I bought with a lot of money. Have you saved a disciple of the Tang Sect some time ago?"

"Well, I've saved it. What's wrong? Wait, can they help you with things?"

Xiao Chenping did not answer, naturally agreed to Li Xuansheng's guess. Li Xuansheng joked, "Chenping, I really didn't see that your intelligence network is wide enough. When will you help me organize one?"

Xiao Chenping glanced at Li Xuansheng and shook his head helplessly, "My intelligence network is not my own, it belongs to our Xiao family and other aristocratic families. As long as you pay enough rewards, you will naturally get what you want."

Li Xuansheng murmured, "I'll go, I'll have to spend money."

"Okay. I'll give you some gifts this time. Come with me."

When he walked to the warehouse of the military yamen, the Imperial Guard was opening four or five large wooden boxes. After disassembling them, the Imperial Guard took out the crossbow from the wooden box. This crossbow is different from the common crossbow. The crossbow machine in front of Li Xuansheng was lighter and there was an arrow box.

Xiao Chenping smiled at Li Xuansheng and said, "This is a gift I have given you. Don't underestimate this crossbow. Taking human life within two hundred steps is like taking objects."

Li Xuansheng suddenly thought of something, "Is this the crossbow of Zhuge Village Man Ming?"

Xiao Chenping shook the white paper fan, "My crossbow machine is far higher than the Zhuge crossbow in terms of range and accuracy, and all the arrows are forged from fine iron. Applying your Feiyu Army to the next level, they can improve their combat capabilities."

Li Xuansheng took out a crossbow machine and pointed at the target a hundred meters away, "Swoosh!" The arrow in the arrow box flew out like a gust of wind, and actually penetrated the target.

When everyone saw the power of the crossbow, they all applauded. Li Xuansheng looked at the crossbow in his hand, "Chen Ping, this is definitely not what you thought of."

Li Xuansheng pointed to a symbol of the handle of the crossbow machine, and Xiao Chenping explained, "It was the idea I proposed, which was created by them. And I only allow their own disciples to use it."

Li Xuansheng shouted to the Imperial Army soldiers, "Put these crossbows away. If they are lost, you should know the consequences."

"Yes, General."

Li Xuansheng and Xiao Chenping went to the conference hall together, and Mr. Zhou had been waiting for a long time.

Li Xuansheng smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, I have made you wait for a long time."

"Where is it?" Mr. Zhou saw the pretty boy beside Li Xuansheng, "I wonder who this one is?"

Li Xuansheng introduced, "My classmate Yidu Xiao family, Xiao Chenping, is in Wolong Academy."

When Zhou Dao heard the Xiao family in Yidu, his eyes lit up. This person who once became the governor of Wuling County naturally knew the meaning of these four words.

"It turns out it's the young master of the Xiao family. I wonder how good Brother Xiao comes in!"

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for your concern, Taigong Yiru back then."

The three of them sat down, and Zhou Dao told Li Xuansheng about the recent matters in Fuling. After hearing this, Li Xuansheng respected Zhou Daoyue, "I am really a blessing in these days when I am away. Fortunately, you are always here to take charge of the overall situation. I would like to thank you for the people of Fuling."

"Where, I am the magistrate of Fuling County. These things are just a matter of duty. If the general really wants to thank you, why don't you thank Zhou Dai? Most of the matters are handled by him personally."

Li Xuansheng naturally understood that Zhou Dao was talking to Zhou Dai, and Zhou Dai was indeed not bad. "Well, Zhou Zhuan is indeed doing a good job. Lord Zhou, you will resign next year and return to retire and take the position of Fuling County Magistrate. If you are not talented, can you let Zhou Zhuan do it?"

Zhou Dao immediately said, "If the general trusts Zhou Dai, it is better for him to take charge. Moreover, Zhou Dai attaches great importance to Fuling, and I think he will not disappoint the general."

Xiao Chenping listened to the conversation between the two. In Xiao Chenping's eyes, Zhou Dao was paving the way for his nephew, but Li Xuansheng, this guy obviously had his own plan. Moreover, Zhou Dao was so blunt and said his thoughts were in line with the nature of his gentry's children.

This Fuling is Li Xuansheng's first stop, and Xiao Chenping naturally hopes that Li Xuansheng can achieve something. He has also checked Zhou Dai. Although he is a little arrogant, it does not hinder his real talents and knowledge. It is useful but not very useful.

Xiao Chenping interrupted, "Old Zhou, if Zhou Dai is really talented, Xuan Sheng will naturally not bury him. Please rest assured of this."

Seeing Xiao Chenping speaking for him, Zhou Dao was very grateful, "Zhou Dai is one of the few promising children in my Zhou family. Today I will recommend him to the general, which is the result of my repeated consideration. I hope the general will be right."

Li Xuansheng glanced at Xiao Chenping, and Xiao Chenping nodded, "Old Zhou, I promise you this matter. However, you also want to do something for me."

"General, even if I give me instructions, I will help you as long as I can."

Xiao Chenping immediately asked, "Old Zhou, I don't know if you are familiar with the Baiyue tribe in Baidi City."

"Familiar, I have lent them food many times, and their tribesmen have a pretty good attitude towards me."

Li Xuansheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Lord Zhou, Chenping and I will go to Baidi City tomorrow. I wonder if you have time to accompany me to go with you."

"Available, general."
