I do research in ancient times

What happened afterwards, in Rinka's eyes, was as miraculous as a dream.

He, Nada, a celestial craftsman, and Mr. Ning, who was supposed to be "funeraled" by the coffin, traveled eastward from a tributary of the Wuzhi River, went out to the sea through Bailukou, and then turned to Tangzikou in the north of Xianyun City.

He Yue's family wanted to rebel against Sima Ye, and all the troops and ships were dispatched to the vicinity of the Nanjiang River. Except for Xianyun City in the northern pier, the rest of the unimportant ones withdrew. When defending, he was directly given up.

Since it is an empty land without owner, how can there be any politeness?The frontier army naturally took over.

After Tangzikou was obtained, the eyesliner of the Central Plains family to monitor Bailukou was completely removed. The inner bay of Tangzikou connected to the Qingniu River, which was regarded as the estuary of the Qingniu River in the northern section, and the transportation was very convenient.

On a dark and windy night, the trio quietly entered the Qingniu River in a steamboat.

Since Qingniujiang, they have already entered the scope of the Central Plains forces.Although the aristocratic family has been busy besieging Dingfeng City recently, and has no time to take care of the situation in other places, but there is no guarantee that some unlucky one happened to pass by and discovered the strangeness of their ship.

In order to hide her tracks, Ning Fei also made a lot of preparations.

He covered the semi-open hangar and gun port with a huge canvas, stopped the operation of the steam engine, and pretended to insert a temporary mast, which looked no different from an ordinary black-covered ship. very different.

"Why?"

Linka scratched his head.

Donghu people are straightforward, and they can't help but ask when they can't figure it out. They never know what euphemism is.

"Mr. Ning, you want to take revenge. There are plenty of people who can help you. Why do you take such a big risk to come here in person?"

The "cargo" loaded in this ship, he, the captain of the ship, can clearly see that, except for the necessary food and water, the rest are black shells and unknown iron parts.

I don't know the specific use, but judging from the draft of the hull, these are all great "hard goods".

Especially for those shells, it is enough to sink three or four medium-sized wooden ships, but it is still impossible to challenge the Lu family's fleet. After all, the Nanjiangkou is anchored by buildings and naval battleships. Most of the hulls are wrapped in cowhide or iron armor. Much stronger than ordinary cargo ships.

Linka also worked on the Central Plains people's boats before, and knew something about the Lu family's situation.He couldn't help but persuade Ning Feidao.

"Mr. Ning, don't you Central Plains people say, don't use chickens to smash rocks? Although our ship is fast and stable, but after all, there are only three people, and it is impossible to win against those warships of the Lu family."

"If you want revenge, we can go back to Nanshi City, gather the tribe's army, and let's fight those people..."

Before Linka could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the craftsman Nada.

"I said you are annoying!"

He bared his teeth at Linka.

"If you're cowardly, just say it straight, I'll be with Juzi, there's no need for you to talk about it here!"

"If Juzi really wants to send troops, Mr. Feng will do it directly, so there's no need for you to go back to Donghu to find someone!"

What he said was not very friendly, and Linka was so angry that he almost wanted to punch someone with his fist.

It's just that when he calmed down a little bit, he actually felt that Tian Jiangren's words made sense.The relationship between Mr. Ning and the general of the frontier army is not ordinary. If he wants to do something, he will naturally have someone to do it for him. There is no need for Linka to come forward.

But why?

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, Ning Fei smiled and said a word lightly.

"Own revenge, of course it is better to avenge it myself."

Although the assassination in the private room of the restaurant was directed and acted by himself, and the blood used the chicken blood bag donated by the food shop in the city, it is also true that Lu Shiji secretly sent the dead man to kill him with a poisoned needle.

Almost all of the dead soldiers caught that day were wearing poisonous needles and crossbows, and the standard equipment also included sky fire thunder and kerosene bottle!Lu Shiji took out all the treasures at the bottom of the press box. He was afraid that he would escape by fighting alone, so he sent five people to defend him. Even if he couldn't be killed, he had to be disfigured and disabled. Miss him The mood of going to hell is not insincere.

This kind of brotherhood, Ning Zazi felt that he could not live up to it.

He asked himself that he was not a small-minded person, and he would not be easily irritated.But the Lu family brothers are really unethical in this matter. The twin brothers of the first-milk compatriots are closer than anyone else in the world. Instead of making good use of them to harvest a batch of leeks for a win-win situation, they will be ruthless before they meet. Killing by hand, sincerity does not talk about family affection at all.

Not to mention, Lu Shiji had already taken advantage of everything in the first place, and he had accomplished his life all the way through the original pain.Now the victim hasn't said anything yet, but he, a person with vested interests, wants to attack first. How can there be such a good thing in the world? !

In this way, Ning Sawzi can only engage in malicious competition.

But he didn't intend to talk more with Batou and Tianjiang, he just touched his nose and chose a relatively unreasonable reason.

"The pressure boiler has been built, and it has been properly miniaturized. We have to try it out."

He paused, and brushed the cannon on the bow with his thin white fingers.

"The design power of this steam engine is enough to support our sailing and firing of cannons, but whether it can really achieve the effect requires actual experiments to know."

"The Lu family has ruled Nanjiang for a hundred years. We are alone and alone, so naturally we can't seek our own death."

"Lu Shiji is now in Jiangbei, and it took only a few days to take down Dingfeng City. The Lu family's fleet was busy delivering supplies to him. Most likely, he didn't expect that someone would come to make trouble. Our small boat is not here yet. In the eyes of others."

"Lu Shiji won Dingfeng City, which is a great achievement. His mission on the north bank of the Nanjiang River is considered complete. As the heir of the Lu family, it is impossible for him to stay in Dingfeng City for a long time, especially assassinating me is tantamount to falling out with the Feng family. , he had to guard against the Feng family's revenge."

"With Lu Shiji's cunning, he will probably retreat back to Qijiang City by boat immediately. He will bring many guards with him when he leaves. This kind of ostentation is not something ordinary people can enjoy. As long as we pay attention to the situation at the dock, we can probably determine his whereabouts. .”

"As soon as he enters the Qingniu River, our chance will come."

Nada was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and always felt that there was a ring within a ring, and there were countless twists and turns in it.Linka looked thoughtful, and when he raised his head again, he looked at Ning Juzi with a little more awe than before.

The men of Donghu are rough and straightforward, and their revenge is simple and straightforward, just fighting desperately.

Such deliberate and deliberate revenge, which counts every step of the other party's revenge, can't be suppressed even if he is killed.

But... can it really be done?

Linka was full of doubts, but the reality turned into reality step by step as Ning Fei had speculated.

The allied forces of the aristocratic family captured Dingfeng City.

Guangtong Emperor Sima Ye committed suicide by burning the palace.

There was a change in the Qingjiang Wharf outside Dingfeng City.

"It's about time, you can prepare to lean over."

Ning Juzi put down the binoculars in his hand, ran all the way down the high slope, and ordered in a deep voice as soon as he jumped into the boat.

The river beach where they were located was not far from Qingjiang Wharf, but it was blocked by a cliff. From the position of Qingjiang Wharf, it was impossible to detect the existence of the steamboat.

When the big ship weighs anchor, there will be a short distance towards them in the direction of the ship, and that is the time to encounter them head-on!

"Fire! Fill with coal!"

With an order, Nada shook off his arms and started to work.

Ning Fei was in charge of adjusting the cannon, and Linka held the steering wheel firmly. Under the division of labor between the three, the steamboat quickly left the river beach and gradually accelerated towards the big ship.

"Don't be surprised no matter what you see later, just keep your direction. I said don't hesitate when you turn around."

Hearing Ning Sawzi's reminder, Linka nodded.

He thought that Mr. Ning was talking about bombarding the big ship, and worried that he would be frightened when he saw the bloody explosion.In fact, it was not necessary at all, he was also a man who was wandering in the sea back then, and he had never seen any evil spirits before, and death was nothing at all.

Just as he was thinking, the steamboat turned around the cliff and rushed straight into the sight of the Lujialou boat.

Compared with the tall and majestic building boats, their small boats are almost like calves, barely exceeding the height of other people's oars.

Linka's rudder was very stable, and the distance from the opponent's bow was no more than a dozen feet. With his eyesight and the blessing of the telescope, he could see the situation on the deck at a glance.

Seeing this, he was stunned on the spot, almost unable to grasp the steering wheel.

I saw a young man standing on the deck of the big ship opposite, his face looked very familiar, wasn't it exactly the same as Mr. Ning standing not far away? !

Linka shivered, and suddenly came back to his senses, suddenly thinking of Mr. Ning's reminder before.

Don't be surprised by what you see, just hold the boat well, it's hard to say that this is exactly the same person! ?

Just as he was thinking, he saw the young man at the bow suddenly waved his hand towards the opposite side, as if greeting him, then pulled the match without hesitation, and bombarded the deck of the large ship opposite him.

The boy on the opposite side was also vigilant, he got up and jumped into the sea when he could move, but unfortunately he was one step too late, and was still hit by the impact of the shell explosion on the ship tower, was thrown high and fell into the river.

"Turn around and go to the Yangcha River!"

Mr. Ning's voice rang in his ears, and Linka immediately concentrated, turning the steering wheel steadily in his hand, and quickly adjusted the bow of the ship to the direction Ning Fei designated.

"That person..."

Linka's eyes widened in astonishment, and he stuttered and couldn't speak.

He couldn't believe that there were two people who looked so alike in the world!If Mr. Ning hadn't been on the boat all the time, eating and living with them all the way, he almost thought that the one opposite was the right one!

"That's Lu Shiji, the young gentleman of the Lu family, the one who assassinated Mr. Ning."

At this time, Nada did not hide anymore.

He knew the truth from beginning to end, and he also knew why Ning Zaozi had to come in person.

I haven't seen each other since I was born, and I use my own uncle as a tool, and kill him as soon as I meet, what kind of brother is this! ?

For a man, it is more enjoyable to kill the enemy with his own hands. That kid from the Lu family is not benevolent first, so don't blame them for being cruel!

"But in this way, don't those people also know the identity of Mr. Ning?!"

Linka is well-informed, and has vaguely heard about the family's attitude towards the twins.

Mr. Ning has always been in the border town, and the Lu family would not harm him without knowing his existence. How could the Lu family tolerate him now that he appeared in front of people in a big way?

"It is to show up aboveboard!"

Nada exclaimed.

"Is there anything shameful about it? It's the Lu family who are shameful. We are sitting upright, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"The one to be afraid of now is the one over there!"

At the same time, Ning Sawzi, who was ruthless, was adjusting the angle of the muzzle, firing cannons in the direction where he fell into the water when he landed, and occasionally sank a large ship that came to rescue.

He didn't spare the shells at all, and emptied most of the cabin, and then turned around and fled relentlessly.

With less load, the steamship was so brisk that it was about to take off, and the big boats behind were struggling to catch up. The oarsmen on the full boat were sweating profusely and panting like cows, and they could only see the rear of the steamship from a distance.

People will be tired, but the machine will not be tired. The distance is opened a little bit, and Ning Fei and Nada exchanged water and coal, and soon arrived at the scheduled berth.

Ning Fei quickly took off the canvas, and directed Nada and Linka to move out the hanging basket, igniter and coal from the bottom of the warehouse, and the three quickly went up the mountain.

Linka kept turning her head when she was leaving, with a very hesitant expression on her face.

"Let's go! Let's go! We're still rushing up the mountain!"

Nada greeted him.

Linka's footsteps still hesitated.

He couldn't bear to part with the steamboat he had been driving for a few days, this boat was a treasure, throwing it there was like sending it to the Lu family for nothing.

The Lu family's fleet was already very strong, if they got their steamship, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving Lao Hu wings? !

Ning Fei saw what was in his mind, and in order not to waste the time of fleeing for his life, she directly spoke out to explain what was on his mind.

"The boat will not be left to outsiders."

The young man Moko smiled slyly.

"How can the things we have worked so hard to make cheaper for the enemy, so naturally we still have to take advantage of the situation to trick them."

"Didn't you stuff all the raw coal into it before? The boiler of this steam engine has a pressure limit. Once the water inside is boiled dry and the fire is still heating, the boiler will become a fryer."

"So we have to go quickly, don't waste time here, so as not to be accidentally injured."

When he said that, Linka didn't have any hesitation, and carried the heater on his back and ran all the way up a gentle slope of Heifeng Mountain.

This is a high place near the Yangchazi River. The terrain is relatively open and barely meets the basic conditions for a hot air balloon to take off.

Ning Fei tested the wind direction, and then, together with Nada, began to assemble the balloon.

Nada is a person who built a flamethrower by himself, and knows the internal structure of a hot air balloon like the back of his hand.Ning Fei and him had a clear division of labor, and there was no need to communicate at all during the whole process. In a short time, the hanging basket and heater had been installed, and the final debugging and inspection began.

Linka couldn't help with this matter, so he took over the security work.Seeing several boats approaching the shore, and the torches gathered from the boats to the mountain like flowing water, Linka was very anxious, because the pursuers were close at hand!

"Come, here they come!"

"All right!"

Ning Fei confirmed that it was safe, and then reached out to greet Linka.

"come on in!"

Linka was taken aback.

In fact, he didn't understand what the two of them were building at all. He only saw a huge cloth ball swollen and shaking slightly in the air.

Seeing him not moving, Nada felt anxious.

"Come up, come up, after a while, the wind will change direction!"

Hearing this, Linka turned into the basket full of doubts.The moment he entered the basket, Ning Fei cut the cable with a knife, and the balloon dangled with the basket, flying all the way to the top of the mountain.

Just halfway through the flight, there was a huge explosion from the bottom of the mountain.

Ning Fei raised the binoculars and looked in the direction of the sound, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Very well, the boiler exploded."

"Judging by the amount of explosion, it is impossible for the structure of the steam engine to remain intact. Even if the Lu family snatched the fragments, it is impossible to restore the correct blueprint."

"As for the artillery."

The young man stood in the hanging basket, his green robe was blown up by the night wind, he lowered his head, like a god, indifferently looking down at the mortal beings below.

"That's what I left them on purpose."

"Didn't the Lu family try every means to find out how the Modao and coastal defense guns were made? I will give the Lu family a rifled gun for nothing this time."

Seeing Linka's anxious expression, the young man suddenly curled his lips, making no secret of his malice towards the Lu family.

"It doesn't matter, even if you hand over all the blueprints to them, it doesn't matter. Industrialization cannot be completed in a day, skipping the necessary stages of development and forcibly pulling up the high-tech line. Clearest."

"Without excellent steel materials and casting techniques, the imitated cannons are nothing more than semblance of goods, and they are fired once."

"The Lu family is not afraid of death, so just go ahead. I will pay them back all the losses Mo Zong suffered back then."
