Such an exquisite design, they will never be able to achieve it in this lifetime.

Although Xue Rengui didn't understand these things, he just looked at the drawings.

You can feel the exquisiteness of this Mohist hand crossbow.

This can be seen.

The Mohist hand crossbow is definitely extraordinary.

After the craftsmen were excited, Qin Mu asked, "How?"

The leading craftsman knew that Qin Mu was asking if he could do it, so he nodded in silence for a while: "Yes."

Now the arsenal is getting better and better.

Coupled with the extremely detailed description of the Mohist hand crossbow drawings.

It's not necessary for them to spend time studying.

"Okay, I want two, let's do it now." Qin Mu nodded slightly and said.

The leading craftsman responded immediately.

He greeted the craftsmen on the side and started working in a hurry.

It took a full half a day.

A fine Mohist hand crossbow was made.

Qin Mu looked at the palm-sized Mohist hand crossbow, and then filled it with ten short arrows.

Then someone found a target to test.

Qin Mu held the Mohist crossbow in his hand, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger.

Everyone only heard the sound of 'whoosh'.

The target has been pierced by the short arrow.

Immediately, the craftsmen exclaimed.

Compact, portable, and powerful.

Qin Mu was very satisfied with this.

After building two crossbows.

The two of Qin and Mu returned to Chang'an, took their bags and bags, and went straight to Luzhou.

Chapter 3 and Four: Anecdotes of Anzhou (1/4)

Out of Chang'an City.

Qin Mu and Xue Rengui galloped all the way.

Starting from Gyeonggi-do, passing through Shannan-do, we arrived at the boundary of Anju in Huainan-do.

Passing Anzhou all the way to the east, passing Huangzhou Shouzhou, is Luzhou.

It was already late at night when Qin Mu and Xue Rengui arrived at the junction of Anzhou and Huangzhou.

The weather in Huainan in September is very muggy.

The two galloped all the way, and they were also a little tired.

"Master, Guishan Town is ahead, let's stay here tonight." Xue Rengui pointed to the brightly lit town not far away.

"Okay." Qin Mu nodded, "I will rest here today."

After entering the town, the two found an inn to stay.

Put your luggage in the guest room.

Qin Mu and Xue Rengui came to the lobby for dinner.

The business of this inn is good, and nearly [-]% of the guests in the hall are seated.

The two ordered some side dishes, a jug of wine, and had a drink.

There were many diners in the store, and the noise was so noisy that the two of them lost their interest.

Hastily finished eating.

Qin Mu and Xue Rengui were going back to the guest room to rest.

at this time.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the town.

Later, some people shouted in the street, "There are wolves! Pick flowers!"

Hearing this, Qin Mu frowned slightly and listened carefully.

Xue Rengui also stopped.

The two were thinking about it, but they saw some diners put down their chopsticks in the lobby of the inn and ran out looking for the sound.

Very anxious.

But there are also some diners who are indifferent to this.

He still continued to eat the food in front of him, as if he had already gotten used to it.

"Master, what are they doing?" Xue Rengui was also very curious.

These people eat well and go out to do something, which is really weird.

Qin Mu shook his head slightly.

This kind of behavior is indeed a bit weird and difficult to distinguish between the two of them.

But looking at the innkeeper's appearance, he seemed to be used to it.

Mind this.

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows towards Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui nodded, understanding.

immediately.

Xue Rengui walked up to the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, what are they doing here? Why did they all run out before the food was finished?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper put down what he was doing, looked at Qin Mu and Xue Rengui, sighed softly, and shook his head: "Don't say it, don't say it..."

Xue Rengui frowned slightly, and looked at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu lowered his eyes, took out an ingot of silver from his pocket, put it in the shopkeeper's hand, and smiled lightly: "Shopkeeper, my brother and I are just curious and have no other ideas."

At this time, silver is always useful.

The innkeeper smiled mischievously, and nodded towards Qin Mu.

They have been in this business for a long time, and they always have good eyesight.

So the shopkeeper gently put away the money, and said in a low voice, "You two, you must not be from the local area, right?"

Qin Mu and Xue Rengui looked at each other, nodded slightly: "Yes, we are indeed not locals, we came from the capital city to play."

"That's no wonder." The shopkeeper whispered to the two of them: "There is a wolf, come to pick flowers in our town."

Qin Mu and Xue Rengui frowned again, this sounded very strange.

"Picking... flower picking thief?" Xue Rengui asked doubtfully.

The shopkeeper of the inn shook his head, knowing that the two were puzzled, he explained in a low voice: "The two young masters don't know something. This year, Dang Renhong, the governor of Luzhou, is about to choose a concubine."

Xue Rengui suddenly heard something strange, and frowned: "Dang Renhong chooses a concubine? What does it have to do with this matter?"

The shopkeeper glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "Oh, Mr. Dang, I heard that he loves beauties very much, and he chooses concubines every year."

"Besides, every time I choose a concubine, I will choose from among the several states in Huainan Road. This year it will be our turn in Anzhou."

"Dang Fusheng, the prefect of Yingcheng in Anzhou, is Dang Renhong's nephew. The people outside were sent by Dang Fusheng to the town to snatch the dolls."

"Our town got the news in advance, so we agreed on a code, and those who had daughters at home heard the code, and went home to hide their daughters."

Xue Rengui was furious when he heard this: "These people are really brave!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly grabbed Xue Rengui, and said cautiously: "Young gentleman, please keep your voice down, the people outside are still here."

At this time, Qin Mu also roughly understood.

When they talk about wolves picking flowers, they mean that this group of corrupt and perverted wolves, tigers and leopards came to the town to rob women.

Qin Mu frowned, and asked, "Will all these female dolls be sent to Dang Renhong in the end?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, and replied: "That's not the case. This Dang Fusheng catches fifteen each time. First, they are sent to Yingcheng, and finally ten are selected and sent to Luzhou."

The meaning is very clear.

Fifteen were snatched at a time, Dang Fusheng kept five for himself, and the remaining ten were sent to Dang Renhong.

At this time, Xue Rengui had already clenched his fist.

The shopkeeper went on to say: "I heard that Dang Renhong is cruel and cruel by nature. He doesn't know how many concubines will be killed in a year. Those who have daughters in the family are panicked."

Qin Mu nodded.

Those diners just heard the news and ran home to hide their daughters.

To avoid being brutally murdered by these wolves.

Unexpectedly, under the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, such a frenzied trick was hidden.

It was shocking.

Jingcha has been going on for several months.

A large number of corrupt officials have been sacked.

But those are small shrimps.

Compared to them, the rest are the people who are extremely greedy and corrupt.

The world is under investigation.

Dang Renhong actually dared to choose a concubine in this way with great fanfare.

It is even more grand than the emperor's selection of concubines.

Outrageously corrupt.

Qin Mu sneered, and said to Xue Rengui: "It seems that we really came to the right place this time."

Qin Mu is good at dealing with people like Dang Renhong.

Xue Rengui nodded.

This trip to Guishan Town was really not in vain, they really got into trouble.

"Young gentleman, what were you talking about just now?"

The shopkeeper heard Qin Mu and the two say something, but didn't hear clearly.

Xue Rengui shook his head, and asked, "The shopkeeper, Dang Renhong and Dang Fusheng are so presumptuous, so no one will sue them?"

The innkeeper had no choice but to smile bitterly: "We are ordinary people, how can we fight against the official? Besides, I heard that Dang Renhong is a founding hero and is highly valued by His Majesty today. We are afraid of being ordered to sue, so we will leave without order."

Xue Rengui pondered and said: "Your Majesty is a sage king, if he knew what Dang Renhong did, he would definitely not shield him."

After listening to the shopkeeper, he sighed and said: "We also think about it, but the whole Huainan Road is full of Dang Renhong's eyeliner. Anyone who goes to complain will die the next day."

"He dared to act so recklessly, so he naturally has his confidence."

Qin Mu and Xue Rengui were silent when they heard the words.

Several people are talking.

Suddenly there were screams in the town.

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, "Hey, I don't know which girl is going to be unlucky. These bastards really deserve to die."

Perhaps it was the reason why some government soldiers entered the town.
