Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

The signal bombs used in the experiment didn’t have much ammunition, and the shell was made of thin bamboo tubes. Xiao Zirong really felt that since he arrived here, the bamboos on the surrounding mountains had suffered bad luck, but there was no way. Who made this thing flexible? Tall, easy to style, and most importantly, fast growing.

Xiao Xuexing was also very curious about what exactly Xiao Zirong made, and followed Xiao Zirong to the test site he specially drew in the back mountain. There are mountains around here, and even if the signal bombs go up to the sky, it is not easy to be discovered. After all, they There are not many medicines placed.

When we arrived at the test site, it was already dark and we needed to light a torch with a lamp.

Xiao Zirong didn't go directly to do the experiment this time, and it was impossible for Xiao Xuexing to let him do the ignition, so he had to stand obediently beside Xiao Xuexing and wait for those people to start the experiment.

In fact, the threat of the signal flare is far worse than that of the gunpowder bamboo tube. This thing has almost no lethality, and at most it will be burned.

However, for the sake of safety, I still made a lighting stand, put the signal flare on it, and ignited it with a long wooden pole.

The lead wire of the signal flare is very short, which quickly ignites the potion of the signal flare. The signal flare turned a dazzling red color and jumped into the sky in an instant. The medicine has only been burned.

Xiao Zirong clapped his hands instantly: "Success!"

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Xuexing triumphantly and asked, "How about this? Wouldn't it be convenient to arrange to release the signal flare like a beacon?"

Beacon smoke messaging is a very traditional method, but at the same time it is very troublesome. It takes a long time to ignite it until it becomes smoke, and there is no way to convey more information. At most, it is known that there is an enemy attack.

For example, signal flares are much more portable, and different colors can convey some messages to some extent.

For example, red means the emergency police, yellow means the average level, and green means that the brothers don’t need to come over after we’ve finished the fight. Although this may not be used, Xiao Zirong still got it out.

Red, yellow and green, the whole family should be neat and tidy.

In fact, there is no need for Xiao Zirong to show off Xiao Xuexing thought of many applications in an instant, and he asked directly: "Is it difficult to make? How much does it cost?"

Xiao Zirong said: "The production is not difficult, the cost..."

He blinked, as if he didn't count the cost.

There is no way, he has stayed in Taoyuan City for a long time, it doesn’t matter even if the cost of making many things is high, anyway, they have few people, so it’s not that they can’t afford it, but if it expands to the whole country of Qi and even wants to complete the army equipment, it seems ……A little difficult.

Xiao Zirong was a little entangled and said: "Probably only the Xueziying can be equipped."

In other places, not only is the cost problem, but also the output is a problem. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuexing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

After finishing speaking, he rubbed Xiao Zirong's head with a smile and asked, "Well done, what reward do you want?"

Xiao Zirong looked at him blankly and shook his head: "I don't want anything."

He wants a computer and mobile phone, and he doesn't have it these days.

But Xiao Xuexing didn't ask any further questions. He knew that Xiao Zirong probably didn't have much pursuit of material things after he saw that Xiao Zirong was able to leave such a large city lord's mansion empty, and even raised fish in the lotus pond as a landscape.

However, Xiao Xuexing thinks that it is because Xiao Zirong has never been exposed to a truly luxurious life. When he was in Jiankang, even as an emperor, he did not enjoy much, and sometimes the emperor's life was not as good as those with power What about the minister?

After all, if the emperor is more extravagant, the ministers will advise them, but as long as the ministers are not particularly publicized or required by political struggles, no one will care what they eat and drink, let alone what they wear.

Xiao Xuexing had long felt the need to let his younger brother get in touch with this thing, so when Xiao Zirong went back, he saw that his City Lord's Mansion was almost completely changed.

There are many more expensive-looking flowers and trees in the yard, and a lot of decorations in the main hall. His bedroom has even added mats and some expensive-looking furnishings, and even an extra wardrobe.

Xiao Zirong asked in bewilderment, "When... did you do this?"

Xiao Xuexing said: "A few days ago, I asked them to go out to buy it, and it was shipped here today."

So in one day, Xiao Xuexing almost changed his City Lord's Mansion completely?

Liu Cainiang and Bai Yan walked out with smiles, followed by A Yin and A Man, all of them wore uniform clothes, very similar to the palace maids, but not as delicate as the palace maids.

But this was already considered the best clothes they had worn, so Xiao Zirong could tell that they were a little nervous.

Xiao Xuexing directly dragged him to change into a suit of clothes, which was obviously very similar to what Xiao Xuexing was wearing, both of which were the costumes of princes and kings.

Although it was said that Xiao Zirong was originally dressed in commoner clothes that did not hide his national beauty, but after changing into a set of gorgeous light yellow robes, his appearance immediately improved a lot.

Only then did Xiao Xuexing feel more comfortable, and then ordered people to take all Xiao Zirong's original clothes and burn them.

Xiao Zirong: ...

Well, anyway, people of their status can't give their clothes to others, except for those who are very close to them.

However, the result of Xiao Xuexing's arrangement was that the guest room was also arranged, so there was no reason for the two of them to sleep together again.

Originally, Xiao Zirong was already used to having one more person by his side, but now he suddenly took back the ownership of the entire bed, which is actually a bit awkward.

He was obviously very tired this day, and he couldn't sleep when he was lying on the bed.

It shouldn't be, Xiao Zirong thought about it seriously, with his good habit of falling asleep when he touched the pillow, he never knew what insomnia was.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that maybe he was too excited to make the signal flare today, so he couldn't sleep now.

At the same time, Xiao Xuexing on the other side also felt that he was not very used to it. He even felt a little cold without the small heater by his side.

Obviously his room had already been lit with a charcoal basin early, and the room was so warm that it was comfortable.

Xiao Xuexing closed his eyes and forced himself to rest his mind. Unlike Xiao Zirong, he was one of the few who could sleep peacefully at night. After so many years, he should not be unaccustomed to it. It was just that the quality of sleep in the first two days was too good. It actually made him a little bit reluctant to feel that way.

Xiao Zirong didn't know that Xiao Xuexing was also suffering from insomnia, and now he only wondered about one question: Xiao Xuexing didn't seem to want the signal flares to be promoted throughout the army.

This is very strange, is there any taboo in it that he doesn't know about?

He wanted to ask at first, but he felt that if there was some special reason involved and Xiao Xue could say it, then it would be reckless for him to ask.

Xiao Zirong thought about it and decided to ask Ling Fu tomorrow while Xiao Xuexing was going to practice swords.

The next morning, when Xiao Zirong woke up, Xiao Xuexing had already gone to the martial arts arena.

Speaking of which, although the city lord's mansion has also set up a martial arts arena, they are basically vacant. It is impossible for Xiao Zirong to go to practice martial arts. This is probably the legend that I can use it but I can't.

After Xiao Xuexing came, the Martial arts arena was somewhat useful. He occasionally practiced swords here, and also occasionally shot arrows. Anyway, the utilization rate was greatly improved.

When Xiao Zirong passed by, Xiao Xuexing was dancing his sword. In fact, the swordsmanship that can really kill the enemy is not so elegant and beautiful, but every move looks murderous, and in order to catch people by surprise, he doesn't pursue the beauty of his movements.

But Xiao Zirong still watched with gusto. There was no other way, Xiao Xuexing was really well-dressed, especially when the other party was practicing martial arts, he would always wear strong clothes, which highlighted his broad shoulders and long legs.

Xiao Zirong sat aside and ate some snacks while waiting for Xiao Xuexing to have a meal together after practice, turned around and saw Ling Fu standing next to him, and waved to him.

Ling Fu leaned over without hesitation and asked, "22 What are your orders?"

Xiao Zirong whispered his question, Ling Fu was overjoyed, and immediately began to squat beside Xiao Zirong and whispered: "Your Highness doesn't know, the general is heartbroken."

Because both of them have princes, it is easy to be confused when addressing His Highness, so Ling Fu simply called Xiao Xuexing General in front of Xiao Zirong.

Xiao Zirong slightly opened his eyes wide: "What's going on? Did they bully the regent?"

Ling Fu said in a low voice: "This... Actually, there is a reason why the brothers have eaten a lot recently. The imperial court did not give us food and grass before."

Xiao Zirong almost choked to death after hearing this: "What?"

Ling Fu was helpless: "At first, the imperial court didn't let the general guard the city, but the general just happened to be here and couldn't just sit idly by, and then they thought that the general would not send troops here at all, and it would be even more impossible for the general to withdraw, but they just dragged on. The imperial court dispatched the order, so the general sent troops privately, and it would be fine if he didn't ask for the crime, and he couldn't give food and grass."

Xiao Zirong was very angry: "What is this going to do? Let the soldiers work hard without giving them food and grass?"

Ling Fu said in a low voice: "Those people wish the general would lose."

Xiao Zirong knew what those people were thinking without having to guess. This kind of thing happens all the time, but he just couldn't figure it out. If you were in peace, you would be fighting among yourself, and you would still do it like this when they were knocking on your door?

He asked in a low voice, "What's your majesty's attitude?"

Ling Fu thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty still values ​​the general very much, but His Majesty has only been enthroned for a short time, so he can't suppress those veterans."

Xiao Zirong clicked his tongue, thinking that Xiao Xuan might be a little sticky, what can't be suppressed?This kind of thing that harms the country and the people can just be killed.

Just when he was about to express his thoughts, he saw that Xiao Xuexing had already made a gesture of withdrawing his sword, and started to walk this way.

Xiao Zirong immediately asked people to go up to him with water and snacks and said with a smile, "That's amazing."

Xiao Xuexing took the silk handkerchief and wiped off the sweat on his body and asked with a smile, "What's so great?"

Xiao Zirong said with a look of admiration: "I don't understand either, but I think my brother's swordsmanship is murderous."

The smile on Xiao Xuexing's face widened, of course it was murderous, after all, his sword really killed many people.

Xiao Zirong really thought Xiao Xuexing's swordsmanship was good-looking, even Xiao Xuexing's sword he thought was very good-looking.

Sensing his gaze, Xiao Xuexing untied the sword from his waist and gave it to him: "Try."

He has never given up on cultivating his younger brother to be a real nobleman, but Xiao Zirong's smile froze after he took the sword happily - this sword... is so heavy.

The promised Xiao Xuexing has been weak recently?Does this look weak?Or is he just weak?

After trying to pull out the sword, he silently returned the sword to its sheath, Xiao Xuexing asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Zirong frowned: "It's too heavy, so I won't practice."

"Squeamish." Although Xiao Xuexing said so, he still took the sword back and hung it on his waist.
