Chang Tingzhao rode his horse and galloped to the 'forbidden area'. The guards saw him and quickly saluted, "General."

Chang Tingzhao didn't look at him, but said: "Open the door, I'll go in."

The guard said: "When Dr. Zhao went in, he told me to do a blasting test today. He said that no one can enter, for fear of danger."

Chang Tingzhao gave him a sideways glance, it was the opposite, even he dared to stop him!

Chang Tingzhao was slightly annoyed, "Isn't even my general?"

The guard laughed and said: "General, it was you who said that everything here is respected by Dr. Zhao, and even you must not disobey Dr. Zhao's order."

Chang Tingzhao choked, and his face became even more ugly. In order to give Zhao Qinghe the greatest power, to show his status in this matter, and to take credit for it later, he did issue this order.

"It was such a big commotion just now, what if something goes wrong? The gatekeeper is so stupid that he can't even move around. Open the door quickly, and use a chicken feather as an arrow to turn you back."

The guard still blocked the door, with a firm face, "General, the military order is like a mountain, you taught me."

Who chose [-] to guard here!Isn't this delaying things? If something happened inside, wouldn't it mean that no one would bury the body if he died.Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking!

Chang Tingzhao realized afterwards that he chose it himself. In order to prevent someone from using his identity to intrude and investigate, Chang Tingzhao deliberately asked Zhuge Ru to choose a few stubborn donkeys to be the guards of this "forbidden area".Therefore, even the old cunning He Jianjun couldn't enter this place, and there was nothing he could do about it. .

The outside world can't know what is going on here, and now there are even rumors that the elixir is being refined here, which is why it is so mysterious.Gunpowder was originally discovered by Taoist priests accidentally, and most of the things purchased here are the materials needed for refining elixir, so there is such suspicion.

Chang Tingzhao took a deep breath, his eyes were dark, and his tone was cold, "Get out of the way."

The guard shook his head resolutely, and stood upright at the door, grasping the spear in his hand, as if if he dared to break in, he would die with you.

Swords were on the verge of breaking out at the door, and the guard thought that he would have to fight the general this time, so he was excited and nervous.This is the legendary god of war. It would be a great honor to be taught something.The guards were almost trembling, not fear but excitement, holding the spear tightly as if ready to go, and even prepared to die in the hands of Chang Tingzhao.

Unexpectedly, Chang Tingzhao suddenly softened his tone, "Forget it, you go and find Dr. Zhao."

The guard who had just set his posture staggered, "Huh?"

Chang Tingzhao glanced at him sideways and shouted, "Hurry up!"

The guard was taken aback, and quickly ran in to ask someone who specialized in spreading the word inside and outside to find Zhao Qinghe.Chang Tingzhao's originally uneasy heart gradually calmed down after such a commotion. Such a big commotion is still peaceful here, so there must be no casualties.Although Chang Tingzhao issued the death order at the beginning, he was also worried that such a thing would happen, so he specially arranged for someone to report the news, so that he could keep abreast of the situation inside.

It didn't take long for the guards to let Chang Tingzhao in, saying that Zhao Qinghe gave him permission to go in, Chang Tingzhao gave him a hard look, this guy really forgot whose soldier it was.The guard straightened his waist and was fearless, as if you could do nothing to me.Chang Tingzhao secretly wrote down the name of this person, but this stubborn donkey caught his eyes.

Chang Tingzhao rode his horse in, and soon found Zhao Qinghe who was in a mess.

Zhao Qinghe was covered in dirt, as if he had just crawled out of a pit. The others were also in a panic, but everyone had unconcealable joy on their faces, and they were chatting and discussing lively together.

When Zhao Qinghe saw Chang Tingzhao rushing over, he smiled brightly like a cat, "You are here."

Chang Tingzhao frowned slightly, and helped him brush off the dust from his hair, "How did you make it look like this?"

Zhao Qinghe picked out his ears, "What? Please speak up, I can't hear you."

Chang Tingzhao's complexion was not good and he was very worried. His voice was not low. The two of them were so close that Zhao Qinghe couldn't hear clearly. Could it be that he was deaf.Chang Tingzhao snapped his fingers next to Zhao Qinghe's ear, "Did you hear that?"

Zhao Qinghe slapped his hand off with a smile, "I'm kidding you, I've heard it clearly after such a long time. When the explosion just started, my ears were really buzzing, and I was in a daze."

Chang Tingzhao said displeased: "Next time, you are not allowed to make such a big noise in such a sneaky way. What if something happens? I must be on the scene."

Zhao Qinghe smirked, he had failed too many times in the past, and every time he saw Chang Tingzhao's disappointed face, he felt bad.Although Chang Tingzhao said he didn't care, when Zhao Qinghe thought about the burden on his shoulders, he didn't want him to experience such a failure again.So I made up my mind to just report the progress in due time on weekdays, but I won't pull Chang Tingzhao over in surprise like before.

This time, he could finally stop looking at Chang Tingzhao's gloomy face.

Seeing his appearance, Chang Tingzhao couldn't hide his excitement and asked, "Successful?"

Zhao Qinghe grinned and nodded sharply, "That is necessary! Look at that house, it was completely flattened and a big hole was blown up. Let alone the power, the sound alone must be able to blow up those horses in Xirong. Scared to death, when those horses go crazy, these Xirong people will be easily thrown off their horses, and they will be trampled into meat paste!"

Zhao Qinghe didn't have that much hatred for Xi Rong before, after all, neither Xi Rong nor Dayou had a strong sense of belonging to him.But ever since I saw Xi Rong killing innocent people indiscriminately and repeatedly attacking unarmed civilians, the hatred in my heart became stronger day by day.Zhao Qinghe couldn't look down on those beasts who preyed on those old and weak women and children. For the sake of his own plans, he would fight face to face with the Chang family's army. What a hero to bully those ordinary people.

Since you are not benevolent, then I must be unrighteous. Zhao Qinghe doesn't feel any guilt at all now that he made a bomb and exploded everywhere.Gunpowder exists in this life, just like in ancient times in previous lives. For a long time, they didn't think about using it in the military, but it doesn't mean they don't have this ability.Therefore, Zhao Qinghe communicated and cooperated with those craftsmen, and has been tinkering with this thing for more than a year. How can he not be excited now that there are finally results.Although his contribution is nothing, but he has been following the progress anyway, there is hard work without credit, and now that it is done, he is very proud.

Chang Tingzhao couldn't calm down anymore, "Really?!"

Zhao Qinghe nodded with a smile, "I tried a few times before, the stability was not good, and the blasting power was not enough to pay for the materials. These old masters changed the recipe a few times, and this time it should work. You heard the sound just now. When it arrives, the movement is loud and powerful, although it cannot cause large area damage, it can still play some role on the battlefield."

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Chang Tingzhao really wanted to hold Zhao Qinghe in his arms and kiss him fiercely, if so, the current embarrassing situation would definitely be reversed.

"Can it be mass-produced?"

Zhao Qinghe rubbed his chin and said, "I think it's better to try it to be safe. Either this thing won't appear, or it will blow up Na Xirong to surrender immediately, at least for decades. It's just that we want to It may not be easy to hide it, once the Xirong people know that these are made of gunpowder, they will definitely call in skilled craftsmen to develop them, and we will lose our advantage by then."

Chang Tingzhao said with a smile: "We are one step ahead now. As long as we don't leave this hand in the dust, the continuous research and development will always be better than them, so what's so terrible. Besides, Dayou is rich in minerals. This is Xirong It can’t be compared, and maybe the cannon you mentioned may be produced in the future.”

Zhao Qinghe also laughed, "Well, these Xirong people don't want to fight well because they think of crooked ways. This time, they must be shocked to death."

Chang Tingzhao got a definite answer from Zhao Qinghe, that is, he walked up to those hard-working craftsmen and bowed deeply.Those craftsmen were taken aback. You must know that the status of craftsmen is not high. Although they also knew the significance of making this thing, they didn't expect to win the respect of the general.

"This, this, the general, you can't do it."

Chang Tingzhao ignored it, but bowed three times completely, "These three bows are for me, for our soldiers guarding the frontier, and for us to bless the people. If this war is won, you will be great contributors." !"

The craftsmen became excited when they heard it. Although they knew that Chang Tingzhao was rewarded and punished a long time ago, the development of these treasures would definitely benefit them, but they never thought of becoming a hero.The meaning of this is quite different. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and craftsmen are not of high status. If they couldn't even take scientific examinations for their children in the past, they would be deeply discriminated against.Although the situation is much better now, it is still low.If Chang Tingzhao counted them military merits, it would be very different in the future, most people would not dare to provoke them easily.

A craftsman boldly asked: "General Chang, what do you mean, if these things can come in handy, how many of us can also take credit for it?"

Chang Tingzhao said with a smile: "Several of you must be able to join the Ministry of Industry, such skills cannot be left outside."

Most of the craftsmen that the Thirteenth Prince found were from the folk, and the Ministry of Industry also had many skilled craftsmen, but maybe life was better, but the craftsmanship was nothing but innovative, but not as brilliant as these folk craftsmen.

If these people can enter the Ministry of Industry, it will be very different from before. This means that they have something to do with 'officials'.Maybe it's not worth mentioning in the officialdom, but it's very different in their place.Although they left their hometowns and came here for more than a year, they were unable to reunite with their relatives, but because they were invited by the thirteen princes, they were subsidized by the court every month, and they were specially sent by people in the yamen.Money is still a trivial matter, but this is a big face.I heard letters from family members saying that their waists are now straighter than before, and even the county magistrate has given them some face, and there is no need to worry about the marriage of their children, because the threshold has been trampled.

Many people are just small craftsmen in the local area, and they can make do with food and clothing. The changes in their family this year have made them very happy. If they can still be included in the Ministry of Industry, then they will have to be even more proud in the future. This is a great event for the glory of the ancestors. .

The people present couldn't bear it any longer, they knelt down one after another, "Thank you, General, for your promotion, thank you, General, for your promotion."

Chang Tingzhao said with a smile on his face, "As long as everyone works hard, they will surely earn a good future. It's just that some things can be said and some things can't be said, otherwise if something goes wrong, then..."

What the people present didn't understand was that this year the place was tightly surrounded, and it was said that even Uncle He Guo couldn't come in. They all knew what it meant, and they all swore that they would not reveal the recipe.

Chang Tingzhao tapped and saw a few people understand and said: "I am very happy today. Tonight, I, Chang, will give you a good dinner to reward everyone. Everyone has worked hard for more than a year."

The people present waved their hands again and again, and said modestly: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it should be done."

One person was quite bold, rolled his eyes and said: "General, you don't need this good banquet, but if you can eat the hot pot created by Dr. Zhao, it will be the best."

Zhao Qinghe laughed, "Eating hot pot in summer is not afraid of dryness."

"No, no, it's comfortable to be sweaty after eating, right everyone?" the man yelled.

A group of people agreed one after another, and Zhao Qinghe couldn't disagree.

Chang Tingzhao smiled and said, "How many people have you fooled with this hot pot?"

Zhao Qinghe didn't expect that such a little thing would make so many people think about it. It is probably because this thing is very fragrant when cooked, and because of the cost, it is not often eaten here, but it makes people miss it.Of course, it is also because the hot pot itself is delicious. In the past, hot pot restaurants that only tasted good were always full regardless of early summer, autumn and winter.The food in this life is not as abundant as in the previous life, and it is normal that it is even rarer.

The two of them were walking along the river with their horses, feeling a little cool in this hot summer with the wind blowing.

"I heard that Supervisor He joined you again?"

Chang Tingzhao didn't take it seriously, "It would be strange if he didn't join me one day."

Zhao Qinghe thought about it, and it was true, "He clearly distinguishes between 'enemy and ourselves', and he hasn't said a single bad word about the Duke for more than a year, all he said is bad about you."

Chang Tingzhao had a sarcastic smile on his lips, "That's why that stupid woman thought that the He family belonged to them, and that she could rest easy if she got rid of me. The Chang family was originally one, if something happened to me, how could the Chang family It ended well, how could she and her precious son suffer alone, it's really stupid."

Zhao Qinghe sighed, the family does not deceive outsiders, "Does your brother still not believe it?"

Chang Tingzhao couldn't help but frowned slightly and shook his head. Chang Tingen's health has gotten worse this year, and he still has no heirs.If it continues like this, I'm afraid that the position of the son of the world will not be guaranteed.

Zhao Qinghe hesitated for a moment, and said with difficulty, "If, I mean, if, your brother really can't have children, then..."

Chang Tingzhao grabbed his hand, his face was indescribably dark, "You still don't believe me at this time?"

Zhao Qinghe shook his head quickly, "No, I don't believe you. It's just that if your brother has no children, and you marry me again, I am destined to have no children. Then Chang Tinghui will surely take the position of son of the world. But what should I do?"

"My brother and I don't care about the position of the son of the world. It's not rare to earn it by ourselves. It's just to protect the whole family. As long as the descendants of the Chang family have that ability, they are eligible to inherit. My brother used to care about That's why my sister-in-law worked so hard to keep it. Now that he is completely disappointed in my sister-in-law, it doesn't matter. Chang Tinghui has such an unclear mother, and he can't do it himself, so he must not be allowed to take over. There are more than one in the family. We three brothers, there is always a suitable one.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the position of the son of the world, my sister-in-law could be regarded as a person who can protect each other.At the beginning, my brother was always sick. My sister-in-law married in without hesitation, and has been taking care of my brother without complaint or regret all these years. She is also a good person.So my brother thinks about this affection, whatever my sister-in-law wants, as long as it is not too much, my brother will obey.It's just, hey, I was disappointed in the end. "Chang Tingzhao sighed deeply. Although he didn't like this sister-in-law, he never offended him. No matter how this sister-in-law targeted him, he would just avoid it and not care about anything. Firstly, it was because Chang For Ting En's sake, secondly, he also felt that it was really not easy for her to marry. If it was his younger sister or daughter, he would not let her marry a sick person like his brother.

But Cui Yunchan wanted her child to think of demons, so she caused a scandal. If it wasn't for family scandals, she couldn't make it public, and Chang Tingen was concerned about her past friendship, so she suppressed the news.Otherwise, Cui Yunchan is afraid that she is dead now, how can she continue to be his wife of Duke Ding.

Cui Yunchan has always been childless, most of the reason is Chang Tingen's head.Chang Tingen felt ashamed, but he had no choice but to treat Cui Yunchan as kindly as possible to the Cui family as compensation.If the two live in peace and stability like this, although it is a pity to have no children, they can still be a harmonious couple.It is possible to live comfortably without the position of the son of the world, but things are not always so smooth in this world.

Over the past year or so, the queen's party has become more and more arrogant. The prince was imprisoned for committing a crime. The position of prince is no longer guaranteed. The replacement of the sixth prince is just around the corner.Feng's concubine became more and more powerful because of this, which made Cui Yunchan more anxious, and seeing that Chang Tingen didn't care about the position of the son because of childlessness, she felt very unwilling.He actually listened to the servant's slander and colluded with a foreigner to give Chang Tingen a cuckold.Later, Cui Yunchan became pregnant, but it was not Chang Tingen's.

It was not accidental that Chang Tingen found out, but was informed deliberately by someone, and almost made a scene in the city.If Ting En was very clever and suppressed it in a daze, and resolved this matter, now Cui Yunchan might have been soaked in a pig cage long ago.Cui Yunchan was terrified when this scandal happened. Although Chang Tingen didn't say anything, she aborted the child herself.

Zhao Qinghe also knew this farce clearly, so he could only sigh, not knowing what to say.

"Your brother is very pitiful." After a while, Zhao Qinghe spit out.

Chang Tingzhao's eyes were slightly red, and his voice became choked up, "If it wasn't for saving me, my brother's body would not have straddled like this."

Zhao Qinghe hugged Chang Tingzhao's waist, "No one wants to do this. Speaking of which, your brother was just soaked in the winter, how did he lose his body so badly?"

Although these words were a little inappropriate, after all, the cold wind was biting, and a half-grown child was soaked in cold water. In this era of backward medical treatment, not dying is considered a lucky fate, but Zhao Qinghe always felt that this was not the case.

Chang Tingzhao sighed: "My brother has been unhealthy since he was born in the womb, that's why he was frozen so badly, and it was almost impossible to save him at that time. I have been taking good care of it all these years, but it has not been effective."

"Has it been like this since it was frozen?"

Chang Tingzhao thought for a while, "Well, I have the impression that my brother is sick every three days, and his whole body smells like medicine, like a medicine jar."

Zhao Qinghe was disappointed, if someone murdered him, maybe he could find a way to solve it, but if it was really because of his poor health, then there was nothing he could do.

Seeing his appearance, Chang Tingzhao couldn't help being curious, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Qinghe expressed his guesses in his mind, and said: "Since these too many people can't be cured, how about finding a doctor from the people? Maybe there is a turning point."

Chang Tingzhao shook his head, "I've been paying attention to it when I'm out these years, but the doctors I found all said that I can only take good care of it, but I can't get rid of it. My brother's bones are getting worse, probably because he is too worried."

Zhao Qinghe frowned slightly, "Then they can't have children?"

"It is indeed more difficult to say that it is an heir than ordinary people, but it is possible to have an heir. That's why my brother agreed to marry my sister-in-law into the family. However, I informed the situation in advance and asked my sister-in-law to ask. If so If you are willing, it means that the two of you are friends, and if you don’t want to, my brother will find a way to give my sister-in-law a good home.” Chang Tingzhao also knows that even though he said so, it has been difficult for women to make their own choices since ancient times, but he still has a lump in his heart .At the beginning, I asked again and again that I didn't care, but now I am doing this again, isn't it intentional to grab people's hearts.

Zhao Qinghe touched his chin, Chang Tingen's body was not good, so the only energy he had was devoted to Cui Yunchan. After so many years, so many seeds were sown, there was no reaction at all. "Then why has there been no heir all these years? It can't be that the fate of the two is not compatible?"

Chang Tingzhao was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Qinghe thought for a while and said: "I've heard it before. There is such a probability that some men and women are mutually exclusive. That is to say, two people have no physical problems, but they have no children when they are together. But if they are with others, immediately There is a child. There is such a couple in my village. They have been married for many years and have no children. Ask the doctor that there is indeed such a possibility. Does your brother have a maid?"

This is the first time Chang Tingzhao has heard such a thing. After all, in Dayou, it is rare for divorced women to remarry, let alone know about the follow-up.

"My sister-in-law arranged one before, but I heard that my brother didn't touch it at all."

Zhao Qinghe couldn't help admiring: "Is your brother very dedicated? It's a pity that your sister-in-law is obsessed, otherwise the two of them can live with Hemeimei for a lifetime, isn't it also very good. If you want a child, it is a big deal to hold one since childhood, although it is regrettable in the end, It's better than now. Hey, it's not the condition of the previous life, maybe the problem will be solved by doing a test tube. Why are you in a daze?"

Chang Tingzhao's eyes were dark, "Tell me, is there such a drug that can be taken by men and women separately, and there is no abnormality detected, but it can make two people get married and have no children?"

Zhao Qinghe's eyes widened, he really hadn't thought about it, "I don't know about it, why don't you go and look it up, if it's true, someone must know about it."

It was not accidental that Cui Yunchan had such a scandal, but someone deliberately arranged it, but Cui Yunchan was really a demon, so she fell into the trap.Such vicious things could happen, so how could it be impossible to kill Chang Tingen's heir?

Chang Tingen's body has been diagnosed and treated by a credible imperial physician. It is not easy to poison him. Duke Ding is not stupid.But if there is such a sinister poison, Chang Tingen will have no children without anyone noticing, and there is no way to find out why.

Chang Tingzhao frowned, his whole body was full of hostility, "It's better not, otherwise... I will make his life worse than death."
