…

A few days later, the mysterious man challenged Wang Xianzhi to a battle in the East China Sea, with no winner or loser, and the news spread wildly.

The battle between Jian Jiuhuang and Wang Xianzhi didn't even make waves except for those who cared about it, but was replaced by new news.

The two of them fought and almost broke through the Tianmen, but finally stopped and became a hot topic among everyone.

When asking about the man's identity, no one knew. Except for Wang Xianzhi himself, no one even saw that the man was tall, short, fat and thin.

A few days later, the tilapia fell back outside Lingzhou City with the sweet potatoes in its arms.

You still remember that during the draw with Wang Xianzhi, after eating sweet potatoes, I almost hid in bed and burst into tears.

Because... I was so busy with the battle between Mr. Huang and Wang Xianzhi that I forgot about the special code mission, and the special code was a C-level mission.

Even if the mission is very short, at least one thousand points must be earned. It would be outrageous to forget about it.

As for why I cried after eating sweet potatoes, I was preoccupied with fighting with Wang Xianzhi, and then eating sweet potatoes.

After eating sweet potatoes and hugging the beautiful woman who fell asleep due to exhaustion, Tilapia finally recalled the true purpose of his trip to Emperor Wu City.

Of course, Luo's eyes almost turned red as he hugged Hongshu, and he fainted from crying.

The next few days were for Hongshu to recover from his injuries, and then the two of them set off from Emperor Wu City back to Beiliang.

Tilapia felt a dull pain in her heart every time she thought about how she had forgotten to eat melon due to the shock of the competition between the two.

There aren't many tasks in this world, and I forgot one of them. Just thinking about it makes me want to slap myself.

With his hand boldly held by Hongshu, the two entered Lingzhou City grandly. As soon as Tilapia entered, someone sent the news to the palace.

Hearing the news about Tilapia's return, the old fox like Xu Xiao felt relieved.

I don’t expect anything, I don’t think anything, who’s son will the tilapia die?

With the red cannon involved, Xu Xiao was surprised to find that he would also think about an outsider day and night, and worry about him.

The most outrageous thing is that the other person is a man who often beats his own son.

Back at the mansion, Tilapia signaled Sweet Potato to rest on his own, and immediately ran to the casting room to vent his emotions with an iron block.

He has been spending time with sweet potatoes these past few days, and he just ate them, so it’s hard for him to face others with sadness and anger.

After enduring it for several days, I can finally vent my dissatisfaction today.

"Dang, dong, dong, dong…" The hammer hit the red iron block again and again, harder than usual.

His forging furnace will have servants adding carbon even if no one is around. It is burning all year round and there is no need to re-ignite it.

"Six Thousand Miles, Wang Xianzhi, you bastard, I'm getting points." While waving the casting hammer, Tilapia was still complaining in his heart.

While the fight was going on happily, the concierge's servants rushed into the foundry room. As soon as they entered the door, they shouted excitedly: "Master, the King of Northern Liang is here."

"Come on, come on, an old man has nothing to do with me." After saying that, he glared at the servant fiercely and lectured: "Xu Xiao is also a human being, and he is still an old man.

He's just an old man. Seeing how excited you are, people who don't know may think that the person who comes to visit is one of the beauties from Rouge Ping." Thinking of Wang Xianzhi and Jian Jiuhuang, as well as the C-level mission he lost, Tilapia added: "

Sir, I really hate old men lately. Next time an old man comes to visit, just say I'm not here."

After all, Tilapia put down the casting hammer, pulled off his clothes, and followed the trembling servants of the concierge to the main hall.

When I arrived at the main courtyard, I saw a group of Beiliang soldiers in neat formation.

I was feeling unhappy when I saw someone bringing troops to my home, and Mr. Luo was not polite.

As they walked past, the neatly lined-up Beiliang soldiers rolled their eyes and fell neatly.

When he entered the door, he saw Xu Xiao sitting in the guest seat drinking tea. Without waiting for him to speak, he said angrily: "I recently went to Emperor Wu City because your groom and Wang Xianzhi hate the old man very much.

If you make me unhappy today, I will beat you regardless of whether you are the King of Northern Liang or not."

Since becoming the King of Northern Liang, Xu Xiao has forgotten how long no one has spoken to him like this except his children.

Even Emperor Liyang, who wanted to kill himself, would not blatantly threaten to beat him in front of him.

However..., Xu Xiao, who was born in the military, was not angry at Tilapia's honesty, but felt a bit cordial.

Compared to those enemies who are polite to him on the surface but secretly want to destroy his family, a guy like Tilapia who threatens to beat him at every turn is actually very cute.

Moreover, Xu Xiao knew very well that if this guy said he would beat himself up, he might actually do it.

He shook his head with a wry smile, not caring about the threat from Tilapia, and said curiously: "Although I don't know where Lao Huang and Wang Xianzhi offended Sir, Xu Xiao thinks that they have never offended Sir.

Even at my age, if you beat me up, sir, you have the heart to do it?"

The two met because of Tilapia's time travel and got in touch because of muskets. Although Xu Xiao did not regard Tilapia as a friend, he never regarded him as an enemy, even if his son occasionally came to visit and took the initiative to deal with him.

"snort...!"

Aojiao snorted, Xu Xiao called himself an old man, Tilapia rolled his eyes, walked to the main seat and sat down.

He raised his hand and waved away the maid who was frightened because he threatened to beat Xu Xiao.

Change the subject: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Seeing that Tilapia obviously wanted to change the subject and didn't want to mention Lao Huang and Wang Xianzhi, Xu Xiao stopped asking any more questions.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put it aside with a look of disgust and sighed: "After all these years, I still can't get used to this literati drink."

Raising his eyebrows, Tilapia said angrily: "I want to go back to your palace to express my feelings. I just returned to Lingzhou City and you came here in such a hurry just to talk nonsense to me?"

"Uh...???" Xu Xiao smiled awkwardly, and cursed in his heart: "This temper is a perfect match for his figure. He is definitely a typical representative of well-developed limbs and simple mind."

The moment he put down the tea cup, Xu Xiao's awkward smile disappeared and he turned back to strategizing, suppressing Liyang and Beimang, the two dynasty kings of Beiliang.

He clasped his fists slightly and said in a deep voice: "Xu Xiao does have something to ask for this time.

The craftsman in red clothes has already seen the blueprint of the cannon that Mr. gave me last time. To be honest, Mr.'s drawing..." He paused for a moment, looked at Tilapia's face, organized his words and continued: "The craftsmen of the Royal Palace are not good at learning.

I don’t understand Mr.’s drawings.

It just so happens that Mr. Xi loves forging, and Xu Xiao would like to ask Mr. for help to create a finished red cannon for reference by the palace craftsmen."

"If you're not good at studying Shente Code, just say that they can't understand the drawings I drew, and that's the end of it.

Otherwise, a craftsman who can imitate a musket cannot create a simpler red cannon if he has the blueprints?" Someone insinuated that he was not good at the blueprints. Tilapia was always shameless and didn't take it seriously.

This time, the character is a strong, lustful, outspoken man. He is close to his true character, and Luo has nailed it very well.

"I thought you wanted me to draw a new drawing, but it turned out that you wanted to finish the red cannon.

It's easy to build that thing, but...?" He raised his eyebrows and rubbed his hands, but Tilapia didn't say anything clearly.

The transaction was not just one or two, Luo believed that Xu Xiao could understand what he meant.

Understanding, Xu Xiao did not talk nonsense, and said in a deep voice: "The red cannon involves countless men of Northern Liang. As the king of Beiliang, as long as the gentleman's demands are not excessive, Xu Xiao will try his best to satisfy him." Mass production of the red cannon was launched one day earlier, and he said

Maybe one day it can be exchanged for the lives of countless Beiliang soldiers.

Coming from a military background, Xu Xiao understands this truth very well and is more willing to put it into practice.

It's not that he doesn't want to play tricks with Tilapia Yu, or negotiate terms.

Having known each other for many years, Xu Xiao knew very well the temper of the bastard in front of him.

If I open my mouth to talk about conditions and ask for advice and bargaining, this guy will turn against me on the spot and not do business with me.

With him, you have to go along with it. You can pay as much as he says, and you can't bargain.

If you agree, you can make a deal; if you don't agree, it's a breakup, and at worst, you won't do business.

The threat of force is nonsense!

Just now I saw clearly that all the guards I brought fell down neatly as soon as they walked by.

Threats of force, who threatens whom?

From the first meeting, with the exception of Li Chungang, all the royal masters could not defeat him if they mobilized, and they might even be easily counterattacked. Xu Xiao knew that the man in front of him was so powerful that even if he wanted to leave, he would not be able to keep him with thousands of troops.

Threatening him, he is afraid that his house will be as tidy as the guards outside.

What kind of opponent cannot be offended? A master who has reached the peak of his martial arts skills and has nothing to worry about cannot be offended.

Tilapia is obviously the kind of person who has no inhibitions.

He has no sect, no parents, no wives and daughters, no relatives and friends, and his martial arts can overwhelm the entire palace.

If you provoke him, it's okay to kill him with one blow, but if you can't kill him, the consequences will be endless.

Because he has no relatives and no worries, he can let go of the bottom line, break unspoken rules, and play cards that do not follow the rules.

The most annoying thing is that you can't do anything to him.

Xu Xiao was quick to speak, and Tilapia was also unambiguous and simply stated the conditions.

When leaving, Xu Xiao had a dark face and looked back at Luo Zhai from time to time.

As for the fainted guards, someone picked them up and left.
