Early this morning, Tang Yin had just finished eating breakfast and he went to check on the progress of strengthening his own side of the Trebuchet. Feng Army had intentionally left a large space in the middle of the camp to be used for strengthening Trebuchet.
When Tang Yin arrived, a large number of Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army s were already working in secret. Many of them were bare-chested, swinging hammers or holding ropes, fixing pieces of steel armor onto Trebuchet s.
Ren Xiao watched on for a while, then asked Tang Yin softly: "Your Highness, can you really defend against Ann Army's arrow array by 'putting on armor' on the Trebuchet?"
Tang Yin squinted his eyes and slowly shook his head as he muttered to himself, "If we're too close, the arrow can still penetrate through the Steel Armor."
"Then why does Your Highness still need to put in so much effort ?" Doing such a useless thing? Ren Xiao did not finish his words.
Tang Yin sighed lightly and said: "There's no other way. After all, it's better to be wrapped in Steel Armor than not to be wrapped. Whether or not you succeed, we can only resign ourselves to fate."
Ren Xiao laughed bitterly: "There are Trebuchet inside the Guankou City, even if we hang shields all over the Trebuchet s, if they can hold against the Ann Army's arrow formation, they might not be able to defend against the attacks from the Trebuchet s in the city!"
Tang Yin curled his lips, he did not care anymore now, even if he had to cripple the entire army of Trebuchet, he still had to shoot his Guankou City down.
At this time, the General of Feng Country in charge of strengthening the Trebuchet ran over and bowed respectfully to Tang Yin, saying, "This general greets the King!"
Tang Yin waved his hand at him, then asked with a smile: "General Liu, how is the strengthening of our troop's Trebuchet?"
This General of Feng Country was called Liu Lie, an assistant general of Pingyuan Army. He cupped her hands together and said: "Reporting to my king, right now, thirty percent of the Trebuchet have already been completely strengthened, and in at most half a month, we can completely reinforce all of them."
Tang Yin was very satisfied with Liu Lie's progress. He smiled and nodded, praising: "Not bad.
"Yes, my lord!" Liu Lie hurriedly answered. Then, he changed the subject, pointed behind him, and said, "Your Majesty, all the strengthened Trebuchet are over there. Your Majesty, do you want to take a look first?"
Tang Yin laughed, then raised his head and said: "Alright! Lead the way! "
"Your Majesty, this way, please." Under Liu Lie's guidance, Tang Yin, Ren Xiao, Yin Lan and Ah San headed towards the resting area of the Trebuchet. There were around two to three hundred Trebuchet here, and all of them were wrapped tightly with Steel Armor.
Walking up to them, Tang Yin and the rest examined them carefully.
The Steel Armor that was wrapped around the Trebuchet were fixed with nails. In order to make it stronger, the Steel Armor was tied with hemp rope. The metal nails and rope were fixed together, causing the Steel Armor to be extremely sturdy, as if they were growing on top of the Trebuchet.
After that, he nodded and said: "Not bad, it's quite solid. As long as we can make our army's Trebuchet s stay in front of the city for an incense's time, with the number of our army's Trebuchet s, it's enough to flatten the pass of the Mayor Palace."
Liu Lie said seriously: "Great King, the front of the Steel Armor is curved, as long as the enemy's arrows do not hit the center, they will slip away from both sides of the Steel Armor, and pose no threat to our army's Trebuchet."
Ouch! You're pretty smart! Tang Yin was overjoyed, Liu Lie actually used the principles behind modern steel helmets. Such details, even he did not expect it himself.
He nodded his head and praised again, "Alright! "Well done!"
Just as Tang Yin was talking to Liu Lie, a soldier ran over and knelt in front of Tang Yin and said anxiously: "Great King, the battalion has foreign Chuan Country envoys, they claim to be the Princess of Chuan Country, Xiao Xiang, and requests to see the Great King."
Xiao Xiang? Tang Yin blinked his eyes, and laughed out loud. He couldn't even find her if he wanted to, but who would have thought that she would deliver himself up to him. He asked, "How many people are there on the other side?"
"Your Majesty, there's less than a hundred people."
"Oh!" Tang Yin rubbed his chin, looking deep in thought. Yin Lan said anxiously, "Great King, Xiao Xiang's schemes are many. This time, he came to find the great king for no reason, be careful of any schemes involved!"
Tang Yin laughed towards the sky, and said: "This is our army's camp, no matter how crafty Xiao Xiang is, she won't be able to play any tricks!" With that, he shook his head towards the crowd and said, "Let's go! Let's go take a look at what this Red Sleeve Princess is trying to do! "
Instead of welcoming him out of the camp, he returned to his Central Army Tent and waited. Not long after, a guard came in to report, "Your Majesty, Red Sleeve Princess has arrived outside the tent."
"Yes!" Tang Yin lowered his head and said casually: "Let her in!"
Not long after the guards left, the tent flap raised, and Xiao Xiang walked in from outside. Immediately, Chang Feng and the three middle-aged guards followed behind him.
Tang Yin sat on the bed and looked up. When he saw Xiao Xiang, he couldn't help but be startled.
This time, Xiao Xiang had already taken off his men's clothes and changed them into the clothing of a princess. She wore a long pink dress, making her figure appear even more slender. She looked both elegant and graceful. Looking at her face, one could see that her face was slightly rouged. Her face was like water, and her smile was like a flower.
It could be said that the current Xiao Xiang was like a completely different person from the Xiao Xiang who was disguised as a man.
Tang Yin sighed inwardly. No wonder the rumors said that Xiao Xuan was extremely fond of this Fifth Princess. If he had such a beautiful lady, she would probably be doted on too.
Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Xiao Xiang had already walked over with a smile. She stood in front of the handsome table and bowed gracefully, saying in a gentle voice: "Xiao Xiang greets Feng King."
She suddenly looked like a different person, even his temperament had changed. This made Tang Yin at a loss on what to do. He was startled for a moment, but smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Red Sleeve Princess does not need to be courteous."
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Once the Yujing is separated, Red Sleeve Princess is easy to find. I didn't expect to meet Red Sleeve Princess here at the entrance. Please sit down! "
Xiao Xiang walked to the side of Tang Yin and sat down with a smile. After that, she raised her head, and her bright and beautiful large eyes looked at Tang Yin without blinking, as she asked with a smile: "When it comes to Yujing, Xiao Xiang had offended many of them.
"No, of course not." The corner of Tang Yin's mouth rose, his skin but not his flesh smiling.
What a great 'if you offend too many people'. With just a simple sentence, they had lost an uncountable number of grains and foodstuffs. He smiled and replied with a question, "The Princess didn't come specially to apologize to This King, right?"
Xiao Xiang shook her head with a smile, nodded again, and said softly: "Apologizing to Feng King is one of Xiao Xiang's goals during this trip, the other reason is to discuss a matter with Feng King."
This was the main topic! Tang Yin laughed secretly in his heart, and said: "I wonder what business does the princess have with this king?"
Xiao Xiang did not answer immediately. Instead, she blinked his eyes. Her eyes were large and bright, and her eyelashes were long. When she blinked, she seemed to be two fanning fans. She wasn't acting coquettishly, but rather coquettishly, causing others to feel an itch in their hearts when they looked at her.
Even Ren Xiao and Yin Lan who were at the side couldn't help but take a deep breath as their gazes moved away from her face.
Tang Yin wasn't affected by her at all, his clear eyes still flickered with a threatening glint, and the smile on his face still didn't reach his eyes.
He coldly snorted in his heart, "What are you so arrogant for?!" He thought so in his heart, but she did not show it on her face. She daintily said: "This time, Xiao Xiang is here to discuss a matter with Feng King on behalf of King Father, I hope that Feng King does not underestimate Xiao Xiang."
Tang Yin resisted the impatience in his heart and said: "Princess, please speak your mind. I am listening."
Xiao Xiang took a deep breath, and said seriously: "King Father intends to use such a large sum of money to buy the Guankou City, I wonder what Feng King thinks about this?"
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed. Chuan Country wants to buy Guankou City? This is incredible.
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, looked straight at Xiao Xiang for a while, and said slowly: "The Guankou City is currently not under my control. I'm afraid it's still too early for Princess to come to this duke to negotiate with me to buy a city."
"Not early, not early!" Xiao Xiang chuckled and said: "Talking now and talking in the future is actually the same."
"What do you mean?"
"Please forgive Xiao Xiang for speaking bluntly. If you are unable to hit Guankou City, no matter now or in the future." Yin Lan, who was standing by the side, heard what was said, her eyes immediately lit up, holding onto the sword hilt, she stepped forward and bellowed: "You are full of nonsense!"
Seeing that she was about to be rude to Xiao Xiang, the three middle-aged men stepped forward. Although the Guard of Feng Country s had already taken their weapons when they entered the Central Army Tent, with their cultivation, they could win against Yin Lan even if they were unarmed.
Tang Yin waved at Yin Lan, signalling her not to be rude, then smiled and asked Xiao Xiang: "Since Princess has confidently said that my Feng Army cannot beat the Guankou City, then why did Your Country send Princess here to discuss the purchase of the Guankou City?"
"It's because Feng King has long seen Guankou City as the object of his Feng Country, and King Father does not wish for war to take place between the two nations, that's why she thought of spending money to buy Guankou City." Xiao Xiang said in a serious tone: "Selling Guankou City to Chuan Country, will not damage Feng Country's reputation, and will instead continue to maintain the friendship between the two countries, so Feng Army will no longer need to give you a headache over how to take over the Guankou City, and will even lose a few soldiers. At the same time, you will also receive a large amount of gold and silver from my Chuan Country, which can be said to be more than killing a person, Feng King will not miss this opportunity, right?"
Tang Yin listened as he rubbed his chin. After Xiao Xiang finished speaking, he asked: "My Feng Country of hundreds of thousands of soldiers can't even defeat the Guankou City, Your Country thinks that the Chuan Army can beat it?"
Xiao Xiang laughed: "That is my own problem with my Chuan Country. As long as Feng King nods her head, and lets Feng Army retreat from the Guankou City, and let my Chuan Army take over, then, if you can't beat me up, then my Chuan Country will consider itself unlucky.
