Chapter 1562: Mobei Independence, I Show My Cards
Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, thinking that they had finally gotten to the point. He was afraid that he would not be able to resist attacking Chu Chen in front of so many officials.
Not only will I fail to complete my task, but I might even lose my life.
"Mr. Chu, it has been a long time since our Song soldiers defeated the Xiongnu and renamed the northern desert."
"All of this is thanks to Mr. Chu and General Tang."
"Therefore, I have come to visit you on His Majesty's orders and to bring you the reward you deserve, Mr. Chu. His Majesty has always remembered Mr. Chu's merits and is extremely grateful."
After listening to Lu Feng's words, Chu Chen glanced at the things on the ground and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips.
This Dong Shilan is quite interesting; is she here to pick fruit?
We currently have enough machine guns and submachine guns, and rifles and mortars are also in normal production.
It seems it's time to confront her.
"reward?"
Chu Chen looked coldly at Lu Feng: "Should I call you Eunuch Lu today, or Brother Lu?"
After hearing Chu Chen's words, Lu Feng was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
He understood Chu Chen's meaning perfectly well. Calling him Eunuch Lu meant he was on Dong Shilan's side, while calling him Brother Lu meant he was on Chu Chen's side.
It seems that Chu Chen has truly harbored rebellious intentions after Dong Shilan betrayed him. Moreover, he understands that once Chu Chen shows such rebellious intentions, the entire Song Kingdom will probably have to consider whether they can control him.
But personally, he doesn't want to take sides; it wouldn't be a good thing for him to stand on either side.
"Mr. Chu, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary old servant. How could I possibly make a choice?"
"Hehe, then you can take your things back. Considering how long we've known each other, I won't make things difficult for you!"
Lu Feng's heart tightened upon hearing this. He wanted to say something, but couldn't. According to His Majesty's intentions, he must have come to appease Chu Chen and also to investigate Chu Chen's strength. After all, in Dong Shilan's eyes, since Chu Chen could not be used by her and was powerful, a battle between the two sides was only a matter of time. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
“Mr. Chu, you…you’re putting me in a difficult position. In any case, once the Song army defeats the Xiongnu, the entire Xiongnu territory will become Song territory.”
"How can you expect people to accept you or convince them if you act this way?"
Chu Chen laughed after hearing this, thinking to himself, "I'm about to become independent, why am I still telling you this?"
It seems this old scoundrel won't leave without some special methods.
Then why not show him your strength? And also send a message back to Dong Shilan that you are now so powerful that she can't even reach you.
Just as Chu Chen was pondering how to deal with it, Fatty Tiger, swaying his fat body, walked into the palace.
"Brother Chen, that old man Tito wants you to test the cannon."
After hearing this, Chu Chen gave Fatty Tiger a thumbs up in his heart, thinking that he had come at just the right time.
"Oh... Eunuch Lu, you're here? What, you can't make it in Song Kingdom anymore, so you're thinking of coming to hang out with Brother Chen? Hahaha, once you're here, don't leave. Let me tell you, we'll eat and drink like royalty here, and live a life of unparalleled comfort."
Lu Feng looked at the fat tiger in front of him and was immediately horrified. Wasn't it said that this person had disappeared? Some said that he died in the explosion of the arsenal, some said that he wandered the world, but no one said that he had come to the northern desert.
It should be noted that the Song state had deployed a large number of defenses along the entire border, so how did he manage to get through?
At that moment, his expression was as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
"Chief Instructor, when will you arrive in Xiongnu territory?"
"Eunuch Lu, what kind of head instructor am I? I've come all this way to the Northern Desert, and I'm no longer your head instructor."
After listening, Chu Chen stepped forward and said, "Alright, Fatty Tiger, Eunuch Lu is just puzzled by your sudden appearance. What did you just say? Uncle Tie wants us to test the cannons? Then go and make the arrangements. It's also a good opportunity for Eunuch Lu to see our strength."
Fat Tiger nodded after listening, then left with a wicked grin, swaying his fat body.
Cannon? What kind of cannon?
Eunuch Lu looked puzzled, but since Chu Chen wanted him to see his strength, it suited his needs perfectly. His mission was to find out about these things.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Fatty Tiger returned to the palace: "Brother Chen, get ready. The cannon that Old Man Iron made today is extraordinary. You must take a good look at it."
After listening, Chu Chen turned to Lu Feng and said, "Eunuch Lu, let's go and take a look."
"That old man, he just loves to tinker. Ever since we made the weapons, he's been tinkering with things all the time. Now he's making all sorts of amazing and novel gadgets."
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's eyelids twitched, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Mr. Chu, in the end, this weapon is still an external object. How can an external object compare to human power?"
Chu Chen laughed heartily: "Eunuch Lu, how about this? You've brought so many people, and I'll send one. If you can defeat him, I'll unconditionally return to the Song Kingdom and serve Dong Shilan like a slave, how about that?"
After listening, Lu Feng turned to look at the guards around Chu Chen and immediately shut his mouth. What a joke! Asking him to fight these people with guns? He wanted to live a few more years.
Seeing that Lu Feng had been thwarted, Chu Chen did not continue the pursuit.
Because just a moment later, he'll be utterly astonished.
As for the possibility of his weapons being copied, it's possible, but it's something Dong Shilan could never replicate.
Because various precision parts cannot be made casually, if they destroy the smelting workshop, they won't even be able to smelt refined iron.
Dong Shilan isn't stupid, but she's just too impatient. If she had trusted herself for a few more years and gotten her hands on the weapon manufacturing method, the outcome would have been different.
She was too confident, thinking that giving Fat Tiger a so-called head coach position was a huge favor. She seriously underestimated her relationship with those brothers.
Chu Chen led Lu Feng step by step toward the training ground outside the capital.
The training ground wasn't far, right next to the arsenal, and Chu Chen also planned to let him visit the arsenal.
Before long, the group entered the arsenal.
Looking at the familiar furnishings and the busy crowd inside, Lu Feng felt as if he had returned to the Song Dynasty's arsenal.
But he knew clearly in his heart that this was the Xiongnu, the northern desert of Chu Chen.
Fortunately, the family has already organized people to disassemble and study the weapon, and perhaps soon they will be able to make a gun with the same power as Chu Chen's.
Chu Chen led Lu Feng into the finished product workshop, then pointed to the mortar in front of them and said, "Eunuch Lu, this is the mortar we will be testing today."
