Su Hong frowned: "This is a major military matter, if you dare to lie to me, you will be guilty of treason!" His hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

The other party spoke solemnly, but the beggar didn't care at all, grinning and showing his white teeth: "Master, I haven't eaten meat for a long time, is there any meat for me!"

Su Hong took a deep breath, he couldn't believe that this joking beggar had any extraordinary abilities.But until now, he has no other choice but to act as a living horse doctor, patiently inviting the beggar into the mansion.

As soon as the beggar entered the mansion, he shouted for meat. Su Hong sent someone to cook three excellent meat dishes and presented them to him.The beggar sniffed it and salivated with greed: "Haha, as expected of the meat from the government, it smells delicious!"

He slapped the table: "I have a habit of being a beggar. I can't eat meat without wine! My lord, please also order some wine!"

"You!" Su Hong was in a hurry, trying not to get angry, and ordered two jars of fine wine to be brought.

The beggar gulped down wine, his mouth was full of greasy food, his belly was round, and he burped loudly.

Su Hong said: "How about it, can you work when you are full?"

The beggar smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry. I haven't touched a woman for many years. Without a woman, I have no motivation to work. I don't know my lord..."

"Presumptuous!" Now even the guard next to Su Hong couldn't stand it anymore, and directly drew his sword and put it on the beggar's neck.

"My lord, this person is full of nonsense, without a single word of truth. I think he just wants to come here to cheat food and drink. It's better to let the subordinates finish him directly!"

The beggar wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, and looked fearless: "Hey, it's easy to kill a beggar, but it's hard to make a giant crossbow!"

Su Hong held down the guard's sword, and said word by word: "Go to Yihong Courtyard, invite some good girls over here!"

Not long after, a few beautifully dressed women with heavy makeup walked into the mansion.When the beggar saw the beauties, his face was full of light, and he took a bath and changed clothes in a serious manner, before he embraced the beauties and entered the wing room.

Su Hong listened to the women's coquettish voices from the wing room with a gloomy face, and after a long while, he saw several women from the brothel stepping out of the room with disheveled clothes and half-exposed breasts.

"Hey, you're just a hungry ghost, like you've never seen a woman before!" They left cursing.

Su Hong was about to go in to see what happened, but bumped into the beggar and came out of the room.Su Hong was surprised to find that after the beggar washed off the dirt on his face, his face was very majestic and extraordinary.

The beggar no longer talked upside down like before, but clasped his fists and said with great pride: "Thank you, General, for your hospitality. Please, General, take me to the workshop!"

The two came to the workshop, and after seeing the face of the beggar, many people exclaimed.

"This, this is not!"

"It's him, it's him!"

Su Hong asked: "Do you know him?"

An elderly craftsman knelt down and said: "General Su, this man is a fugitive from the previous court, named Lu Ming. He killed someone and escaped, and the court has been looking for him all the time. I didn't expect that he would dare to show up in the capital. Really! When we don't remember you!"

"General, quickly arrest this person!"

At this time, the beggar suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Excellency, the villain was wronged at the beginning, please make the decision for me!"

Su Hong helped the beggar up, looked around and said: "Everyone, I don't care what crimes this person has committed in the past, the most important thing right now is to fulfill His Majesty's will, and let everything else go!"

Everyone just kept silent, and Lu Ming stood up and said, "Thank you, General, I will definitely do my best to complete His Majesty's task!"

Lu Ming picked up the saw next to him, and his whole momentum changed. He measured the ruler, snapped the thread, sawed wood, and chiseled like water, without any hesitation in his movements, as if this mechanism had been deeply imprinted in his mind. A straight line, every corner is finely detailed, perfect.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the old man sighed: "He is still as talented as before!"

Not long after, during Lu Ming's work, a brand new bed crossbow appeared in front of everyone.The new ballista is composed of three composite bows, pulled by thick ropes and winches.The flexible rotating gears, the huge bow arm and the exaggerated bowstring all hinted at its astonishing power.

Su Hong was overjoyed, and immediately made people push the bed crossbow down to practice in the school field.After actual measurement, this kind of ballista is [-]% more powerful than the original giant crossbow fixed on the city wall, but it is very convenient to move, and it perfectly meets Yan Hao's requirements!

"Reward, I want to reward you heavily!" Su Hong patted Lu Ming's shoulder excitedly and said.

Lu Ming fell to his knees with a plop: "General, please avenge the villain!"

Chapter 337 Fuyuan Giant Crossbow

Under Lu Ming's narration, Su Hong finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that Lu Ming learned from Ouyang Zi, a mechanism master of Wei State. Twenty years ago, at the age of 20, he was able to independently manufacture the most exquisite mechanism kamikaze chariot. His talent shocked the entire industry.In time, he must be an outstanding organist who is better than blue than blue.

But something happened at that time, which changed the trajectory of Lu Ming's life.Lu Mingben and Ouyang Dan, the daughter of his master Ouyang Zi, are in love with each other, and they make a private decision for life.But Ouyang Dan was taken by an official in the court, who forced Ouyang Dan to marry her, Ouyang Dan would rather die than agree, and finally hanged himself.

Lu Ming was filled with grief and indignation when he found out about this, and reported the matter to the local government, who knew that the man was so powerful that he even bribed the judge of the case, and finally planted an unwarranted murder case on him, intending to put him to death.Lu Ming escaped from prison with all his might, and survived by chance, but since then he has been concealed and never dared to show his face in the world again.

"Oh, no wonder." After listening to Lu Ming's narration, Su Hong suddenly realized, "No wonder those craftsmen can still recognize you at a glance after 20 years, so it's because you were so famous back then!"

Lu Ming said bitterly: "They are all scum who work for tigers. They know more or less the truth of what happened back then, but no one has ever spoken for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen to where I am today!"

"The reason why I pretended to be a beggar, pretending to be crazy, is to avoid the eyeliner of that person, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died before I even met the general!"

Su Hong's face became serious after hearing this: "Who is this person you are talking about? He can't be a cabinet member today, right?"

Lu Ming said: "It's Pei Xuemin, the military supervisor!"

"It's him?" Su Hong frowned, "Although Pei Xuemin is not one of the important members of the cabinet, as the head of the Military Weapons Supervision, he is also one of the most influential officials in Zhongshu Province. The Ministry and the Zhongshu Province are very popular on both sides. In terms of rank, Su Hong has just been promoted to the second rank since he broke through the mountains last time, and he is only half a rank higher than the second rank military supervisor."

But thinking about it carefully, if Pei Xuemin really did it, it would make sense.As the Chief Boss of the Military Weapons Supervisor, all craftsmen in the Wei Dynasty would look at him. It is only logical to suppress this matter and keep all relevant insiders silent.

"Master Lu, what you are going to sue now is not an ordinary person, you can think clearly, is what you said the truth?" Su Hong asked.

Lu Ming said: "If there is half a sentence of falsehood, the villain will be struck by lightning from the sky, and he will die!"

Su Hong said: "Okay! Then you are busy making the bed crossbow first, and I will help you appeal to Lord Di of the Dali Yuan. Don't worry, Lord Di is upright and impartial. As long as he finds out that you are indeed wronged, Let alone a second-rank official, even a first-rank official will have to be pulled down!"

"General Xie Su!"

With Su Hong's promise, Lu Ming was completely relieved at the moment, and put all his energy on the manufacture of the new bed crossbow.

With the efforts of all craftsmen and the unlimited supply of resources from the imperial court, the first batch of [-] bed crossbows were quickly produced from the workshop of the Military Weapons Supervisor, and they were transported to the front lines non-stop.

In the northern camp, Yan Hao and several generals gathered around the iron car in front of them to watch, and they were all full of praise.

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, with this kind of bed crossbow, it will surely make Rouran's group of invincible Black Mountain cavaliers come and go!"

Yan Hao nodded and said: "I named this kind of ballista - Fuyuan giant crossbow, which means that the enemy is far away, and I hope it can protect our logistics line!"

Chapter 338 Destruction

On the grassland, a Montenegrin riding and archery team of hundreds of people is marching.The report of exploring the horse ahead:

"Boss, we found Wei Jun's food transport team ahead!"

The person who looked like a leader asked: "Can you see that kind of difficult light cavalry patrolling around?"

"No!" The scout shook his head, "Boss, it's been two days, and I can't see that kind of light cavalry within a hundred miles. They must all go to the front line!"

"Hahaha!" Rouran's leader laughed, "Wei Jun can't help it at last! It's thanks to them to use this elite light cavalry to protect the logistics line!"
