I do research in ancient times

"Xue San asked Mo Zong Juzi?"

Feng Kai frowned a little, his expression thoughtful.

"Did he say anything else?"

Brother Feng shook his head.

"No, I'm afraid I missed something that shouldn't be said, so I just said goodbye and left without giving him a chance to continue asking."

Hearing what he said, Feng Kai nodded.

"You've done a good job. Be careful when dealing with Xue San. Don't be inconsistent and show your feet."

Brother Feng nodded, and the two brothers chatted for a while, Feng Kang took his small wooden box and toothbrush to leave, leaving Feng Kai alone in the study.

Feng Kai got up, took off the secret box from the bookshelf, and couldn't help but take another look.

The "soap" given by Xiao Jizi has taken shape, but it cannot be used for the time being. It reminds him of the young man's focused expression in the small kitchen.

I will give myself something, does it also mean to make friends?

The man's fingers gently brushed the khaki soap surface.

Recently, the Feng family is also experimenting with cement. The effect of this thing is amazing, but even if they find the most experienced old craftsman, they can't make the same thing no matter what, and they don't know how Xiao Juzi's brain grows.

Father has already made a deal, as long as Mo Zong is willing to sell it, the Feng family will pay whatever price they can afford.Cement is very useful for city defense. If the entire line of Yongxiguan can be consolidated before spring, many soldiers' lives will be saved in the coming year!

They are guarding the frontier army, and they are not comparable to the soldiers raised by the aristocratic families in the Central Plains. It is common for them to be short of supplies, food, grass, and weapons.

But even so, the Feng family couldn't just watch their soldiers die.As long as Mo Zong can increase the price, as long as they can bear it, they are all willing to do it!

As for Xue San.

Feng Kai's eyes turned, and the sharp edge appeared in his eyes.

Mo Zong was about to starve to death outside the Great Wall, and he could still attract the attention of a direct descendant of the Xue family. It was impossible for no reason.Reminiscent of the Xue family's foundation of steel frying method and hundred steel making, a guess suddenly flashed in Feng Kai's mind.

It should be impossible.

He shook his head slightly.

If Mo Zong knew how to stir up steel methods, Juzi Changshan wouldn't take the initiative to come to chat about Tian Huo Lei.Obviously at that time, the Feng family was even more short of weapons, and the Tianhuo Lei could not be mass-produced, so it would be more practical to sell steel knives.

He stood up, walked quickly into the inner hall of the study, and pushed open a secret door.

The inside is full of countless wooden frames, on which are piled up various bamboo slips.Feng Kai took a volume from a shelf and unfolded it gently. It was the record about the progress of the Xue family.

——In the fourth year of Changle, Xue Qiliang, a descendant of the Xue family, occasionally got something from alchemy, so he invented the method of iron and steel refining, which was named Baisteel.In the sixth year of Changle, Xue Qiliang dreamed of entering Shenshan Mountain, where he was taught a new method of steelmaking by heaven and man, and was ordered to fry steel. The steel knives he produced were as sharp as mud.

——In the same year, the Xue family and the Han family competed for the Changzhou Mine.

——In the fifth year of Changle, the Xue family in Changzhou opened the Longquan Jianfang. The famous swordsman made hundreds of steel and made steel.

In less than a hundred words, Xue Jiafa's family history is clearly written.Although the Feng family didn't enter the Central Plains, there were still many people collecting news from the court, and it was not for other reasons. The aristocratic family was so treacherous, and if they could dig up some direct descendants, it would be good to know themselves and the enemy.

Feng Kai's gaze stopped at the four-year trip to Changle.

Changle is Taizu's second year name, and many things happened in the court before and after Changle.

First, in the 20th year of Kaiyuan, the Dharma saint passed away due to illness.In the 21st year of Kaiyuan, Taizu opened the world to try to recruit Liancai, and the Yili faction stood out. Lu Huaiqing, who has always been famous for talent in the Lu family, was ranked first, and his brothers were also among the best. However, the sage's direct descendant, Mozong, only got two vacancies from the Ministry of Industry. , was sent to repair the river.

Since then, the tide has changed drastically, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mo Zong has lost power, and Taizu also changed his year name in the beginning of the next year.In the third year of Changle, Mo Zong left Yunfu Mountain, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then. Less than a year later, someone from the Xue family made a hundred steel smelting? !

Feng Kai's eyes froze on Xue Qiliang's name.

Alchemy?Dreaming of Mount Kinabalu?Go fool the fool!

In the past, every time he saw this line of words, he felt extremely confused. It is said that Xue Qiliang is a person who hangs around the streets and alleys, and he hangs out with alchemy warlocks just to treat his internal diseases!How could such a person discover the technique of steelmaking? !

Today, when Twelve Lang said that Xue San paid attention to Mo Zong, Mr. Feng's heart moved.

Whether it is the truth still needs to be explored carefully, and it is too early to draw conclusions.

Just as he was thinking, his father's loud voice sounded from outside the study.

"Son, I heard that kid Mo Zong gave you something, what did he give you? Besides this ointment, is there anything else?"

Feng Kai walked out of the dark room, just as he saw his father rushing into the study, followed by younger brother Feng with a bitter face.

Seeing him appear, Feng Dadu raised the small wooden box in his hand.

"What the hell, why does it smell like celery?"

Feng Kai looked at Little Brother Feng, accusing him of not telling Dad the instructions.

Brother Feng was very wronged: "Father doesn't listen to me either. I just said that Mo Zong gave it to him and he came here. I can't even catch up!"

He was very obedient, and he didn't need his elder brother to tell him how to use the toothpaste. He immediately told his father how to use it.

Hearing that he brushed his teeth, Feng Daduhu looked disappointed, and casually threw the small wooden box back to Feng Kai's desk.

"Hey, this thing is useless!"

"I thought it was a new cement formula! A waste of my time."

He was about to leave after speaking, but stopped suddenly.

"Son, did that kid Mo Zong give this? Did he say anything else?"

Feng Kai thought of the birch bark in the interlayer of the mint wooden box.

Xiao Jizi seems to be sure that he will like mint grass, and he is not afraid of him giving the letter away, she is innocent and straightforward.

He shook his head.

"It's nothing, and the soap that was given to me that night before can be used for at least a month."

"If Dad asked about the formula, Mo Zong hasn't responded yet, so we may have to wait."

"Then wait!"

Feng Dadu patted his thigh.

"I can afford to wait, no matter how much it takes, I must repair those bunkers at the outpost this time!"

He looked at his eldest son again, his eyes full of hope.

"Akai, you have a good relationship with that kid. Can you negotiate a good price with him? Recently, our family is not rich. Besides, we need raw materials to make this thing. I don't know how much it will cost! Our family is not going to renege on debts. ! Just let us wait for a while, wait for Kaichun Laozi to push those barbarians, and pay him back!"

Feng Kai nodded.

"Father, don't worry, I don't think Mo Zong's new son is a person who is obsessed with interests."

He pointed to the small wooden box on the table again.

"Father should use this toothpaste. The current military affairs are tense. If father suffers from toothache again, it may affect major events."

He said that, Feng Daduhu was a little embarrassed.

He had a toothache when he was in the middle of a battle before. The pain made his head jump and he couldn't think about anything. In the end, his eldest son, who was just 16 years old, played for him.

shame!What a shame!

"That's fine."

Chief Protector Feng picked up the small wooden box again, and turned to look at the youngest son.

"Didn't you say you still have a brush? Where's the brush?"

Feng Kang was taken aback by his father's question, so he instinctively went to see his elder brother.

But his elder brother was already sitting in front of the desk and started flipping through military newspapers, and he didn't even give him a look.

Brother Feng thought and thought, and finally handed over his pig hair brush with great heartache.

"Father, this is what I used."

He was dying, but was snatched by his own father.

"It's okay, your father even wiped your shit when you were young, your father doesn't dislike you."

Feng Dahu rubbed the bristles with his fingers, and was quite satisfied with the hardness, then picked up the water glass on the small table and went out to brush his teeth.

It's still the youngest's water cup.

Brother Feng wants to cry but has no tears.

Can that be the same!

He didn't want to share a pig hair brush with his own father!His father's teeth are not good, what he eats sucks, and sometimes his words taste bad, so he shouldn't get that problem!

"Hey, don't say it, this thing is quite comfortable!"

The loud voice of Chief Protector Feng came from outside the door.

Like his younger son, he is a fan of hard brushing, and he thinks this thing is powerful and enjoyable!

"Boss, when your soap is ready, I will share it with your father. I think the new kid is a bit interesting, no matter what you bring out, they are all rare things!"

Da Duhu was foaming at the mouth while chanting.

"It smells good, and it feels good in your mouth after brushing."

"I see that this time there is still someone who keeps saying that I have a taste in my mouth, so I will spray him with fairy air to let him feel it."

"I said Mo Zong is thinking of you, and I'll bring you any good things. If we talk about cement in the future, let's add this stuff by the way. Your father will buy it at the price!"

Hearing this, Feng Kai raised his head, thought for a while, then waved to his younger brother, Feng Kang went out consciously, and called his father into the study.

"I have something to report to my father."

Protector Feng spit out the last mouthful of mouthwash.

"What's the matter?"

"Xue Yixiao, the second roommate of the Xue family, has come to Ding'an City. It seems that he still wants to talk to us about Longquanfang. He also saw Mo Zong's disciples."

Feng Kai asked Feng Xiaodi to tell the story again, Feng Daduhu didn't say anything for a long time, and finally raised his eyes to look at the eldest son.

"what do you think?"

"Xue San wants to be an empty-handed white wolf, so I won't do this business."

Feng Kai was very straightforward.

"But since he has noticed Mo Zong, it's useless for us to hide it."

"Can't... get him?"

Protector Feng made a beheading gesture.

"There are so many bandits outside the customs. If you don't keep them all, there will be accidents. At worst, Ah Kang will play a trick to get away with it."

Brother Feng: ...

Feng Kai shook his head.

"Xue San came to Ding'an City because of the fact that my younger brother wanted to buy weapons. This was not decided by him. The second wife of Xue's family is behind it."

"It's not difficult to kill Xue San, but how to explain it to Xue's family after that needs to be carefully thought out."

"Xue San can die, but then there is no possibility for us and the second wife of the Xue family, and Xue Yiluan will use this as an excuse to make trouble. Didn't Dad say that before Xue Yiluan seized our military pay and food, if Xue San died, we would give him Got a handle."

"Then what do you say?"

Feng Dahu scratched his head.

"You can't just watch the Xue family harm others!"

"How many craftsmen have been harmed by the Xue family in these years, is it easy for us to save some thoughts! That boy Mo Zong gave us cement and toothpaste, and we just watch him if he is in trouble. This is too immoral of him!"

Of course not.

Feng Kang remained motionless.

He has an idea in his mind, but he needs to discuss it with his non-brother.

Now, just waiting for when Feidi is willing to talk to him.

"Oh, so."

Feng Dahu was desperate.

Although I don't know how long Mo Zong will discuss, but he has time and patience.

It's so easy to catch up with a capable person, but you have to protect it!
