Not to mention anything else, before he surrendered to Yan Shicheng, he was already a powerful frontier fortress, making all the eight grassland tribes awe and admire.

Although the Eight Tribes of the Grassland were conquered by Yan Shicheng and were vassal forces of Yanbei, I am afraid that they now fear Zhou You even more than Yan Shicheng. In addition, Yan Shicheng controls the military power of Yanbei.

Leave it to Zhou You. Naturally, if he wants to mobilize those grassland cavalry, it will be more effective than Yan Shicheng's words.

As for Mr. Wu Daoyawu, who is also very influential in Yanbei, he is mainly responsible for Yanbei's logistics, intelligence and other matters. His influence in the military is also incomparable to Zhou You.

A few days later, in a valley more than ten miles away from Beishuo City, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, rocks cracked, a large crater exploded on a hillside, and rocks rolled down.

On the top of the cliff more than 100 meters away, next to a crossbow, Zuo Baocang was holding something like a telescope and looked at the hillside in the distance with a bit dumbfounded: "My dear! It's so powerful? The rocks can be blown to pieces.

If this happened on the battlefield and fell into the crowd, it wouldn't blow up people's flesh and blood!"

"The power is second, but the key is its lethality and destructive power, which is as shocking and frightening as thunder. Once a large number of crossbow rockets are launched onto the battlefield, the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere is enough to scare the enemy,"

Zhou You said calmly and casually.

Turning to look at Zuo Baocang who was wandering around, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "Such a cruel firearm, its lethality is so easy to hear in your mouth. It seems that you are really a doer."

A man of great things!”

"Mr. Zuo, you don't need to be sarcastic. In this world of jungle, the weak don't need mercy, and the strong don't need mercy. As a superior, how can we ensure peace for our people and let our people live a peaceful and happy life?"

Life is the most important thing to consider," Zhou Youze said.

"But you brought war to Yanbei," Zuo Baocang said. Zhou You listened without comment: "The war was started by the Western Wei Dynasty first, and Yanbei is just a passive defense. Mr. Zuo, would you please help me make it?

This is an astonishingly powerful firearm, and you deserve to be the best weapon maker in the world!"

"That's right! There is no divine weapon in the world that I, Zuo Baocang, can't make," Zuo Baocang said proudly, then shook his head and said, "However, the reason why this crossbow rocket is so powerful,

The main reason is that your gunpowder is powerful, I just followed your instructions and made the attack range of this amazingly powerful firearm a little wider."

"Mr. Zuo, there is no need to be too modest. The next research on muskets and artillery requires Mr. Zuo to put more thought into it," Zhou Youlian said.

After hearing this, Zuo Baocang frowned slightly and shook his head: "According to what you said, these guns and artillery are simply killing weapons! Helping you make such weapons is really harmful to Tianhe. Old man, I'm afraid.

You’re going to lose your life!”

"Which of the swords, guns, bows and arrows you sell is not a sharp weapon for killing people, and you are still alive and well if you are not the same?" Zhou You rolled his eyes at him: "Don't worry! As long as you can help me make good guns and artillery, everything will be fine."

Once it’s done, you won’t be short of benefits.”

"It would be nice if you could spare me my life after it's done," Zuo Baocang muttered a little depressed, causing Zhou You to raise an eyebrow at him and say, "If you think your long life is enough, tell me, I

I can help you."

When Zuo Baocang heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "You're kidding, you're kidding! As the saying goes, it's better to die than to live. Who would think that he has a long life?"

"By the way, is there no news yet about Crown Prince Yan Xun and that girl Xing'er?" Zuo Baocang then asked, seemingly out of curiosity.

"You seem to be too concerned about them," Zhou You looked at Zuo Baocang meaningfully, saw his awkward smile, and then said, "Don't worry! They are very tough and will come back safely."

At this moment, a follower hurriedly climbed up the mountain and said: "General, the princess is here and is waiting for the general in the city!"

"Hongxiao is here? She just gave birth to a baby not long ago. If she didn't recuperate in Hongchuan City, why did she come here?" Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and looked around with joy, then frowned and said: "Quick,

Prepare your horses and return to the city!"

Seeing Zhou You leaving in a hurry, Zuo Baocang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Does this kid really don't understand or is he just pretending to be confused? He gave birth to the princess's children, and he escaped from death and didn't even return to Hongchuan City.

Look at the family and the children. However, it seems that he still cares about his wife and children! Hey, I hope you can really be so kind to the people in the future! Otherwise, I, Zuo Baocang, will really become an aid to the evildoers, which is a great crime!

"

"Xing'er, Xing'er, come back to Yanbei quickly! An Ran appears in front of me, so don't let anything happen to you," Zuo Baocang said worriedly.

When Zhou You returned to Beishuo City, in the general's palace in the city, Yan Hongxiao, who was dressed in a red Luo shirt, was talking to Yan Ting, who was in military uniform. When he saw Zhou You striding in with a happy face, he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

It also turned into nothing. He stood up and ran towards him, throwing himself into Zhou You's arms.

"Ahem... don't think I don't exist, okay?" Yan Ting smiled helplessly. Seeing Yan Hongxiao react, she quickly let go of Zhou You, her pretty face turned red, and she couldn't help but shook her head and said with a smile, "Okay, you guys

Let’s chat, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

After Yan Ting left, Zhou You, who sat down with Yan Hongxiao, couldn't help asking: "How is the child? How is the Marquis' health?"

"Okay, the nanny and mother are taking care of them, don't worry!" When mentioning the child, Yan Hongxiao also said with a happy smile on her face: "Father is fine, the injury has slowly recovered, but the heartache... I'm afraid it won't be temporary.

It will be fine in a while. This time, it is really dangerous. I have heard what my father said. If you had not appeared in time, I am afraid that my father would... Does the emperor really not miss his old feelings? "

Seeing that Yan Hongxiao still looked frightened and unhappy as she spoke, Zhou You couldn't help but sneered: "Emperor? He can't even believe his own children, let alone a prince and general with great achievements!"

"Stop talking about this, where is Yan Xun? Don't you still have no news about Yan Xun and Miss Zhong Yu?" Yan Hongxiao is undoubtedly most concerned about her youngest brother, Yan Xun.

Just when Zhou You was about to speak, suddenly his entourage hurried over again and said: "General, good news! The Crown Prince and his companions are back."

"Back?" Zhou You was stunned when he heard this, while Yan Hongxiao on the side stepped forward in surprise and asked, "Is it Yan Xun? Yan Xun and the others are back?"

"Yes, Princess! Crown Prince Yan Xun and Miss Zhong Yu are back," the attendant said quickly.

"Great!" Yan Hongxiao was surprised and asked her entourage to lead the way, and Zhou You finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he believed that Yan Xun and Chu Qiao would not be in trouble easily, there was no news for such a long time.

I still can't help but feel a little worried. Fortunately, I'm finally back.

When Zhou You and Yan Hongxiao walked out, they saw brothers Yan Ting and Yan Xun hugging each other, as if crying with joy. After all, they had not seen each other for many years, and this time Yan Xun narrowly escaped death again.

return.

Zhou You also noticed Zhong Yu and some of her followers, but he saw no trace of Chu Qiao. He couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Where is Chu Qiao? Didn't she come back with you?"

"Achu? She's back too, but..." Zhong Yu hesitated slightly before saying, "She was injured and poisoned, and is now unconscious."

"Injured and poisoned? Is it serious? What kind of poison was poisoned? Take me over quickly and take a look," Zhou You frowned and urged.

Seeing Zhou Youlian urging Zhong Yu to take him to see Chu Qiao, and seeing his younger brother Yan Xun who was also very surprised, Yan Hongxiao couldn't help but reveal a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes, and Lian followed.
