On the outskirts of Mengshan County, there was a sudden sound of shaking the sky, and the feet trembled slightly, as if an earthquake occurred.

Shen Yi, the county magistrate, hurriedly summoned Zaoli and went to the place where the sound was made.

After a while, Zaoli came back and said nothing happened.

Mengshan county annals then recorded the changes that day.Later generations of researchers all speculated that this is the reason why the originator of bombs experimented with gunpowder.

And the few people who witnessed the miracle of gunpowder with their own eyes didn't speak for a long time after returning home in a daze.

After serving refreshments, Liu He took Liu Zishi to the kitchen and asked, "What happened? Why are you in a trance?"

"Aon, did you hear the loud noise just now?"

The shock was so big just now, Ah Weng should have felt it.

"I heard that, I thought it was an earthquake." Liu He patted his chest, as if frightened, "Could it be that the gentlemen are shocked by this?"

Liu Zishi nodded fiercely, "Our lord is really powerful, the loud noise is caused by his artifacts. But some powder can shake the ground and shake the mountains."

"Really?" Liu He was shocked.

How can people not be afraid of such lethality?

Liu Zishi nodded fiercely.

As for the dinner, several people had different thoughts, and they didn't enjoy eating very much.

Rong Lian was still in a state of excitement, and after returning to the house, he couldn't concentrate on studying, so he became more and more impressed by Rong Xizhi's ability.

In the courtyard, Qin Ke and Rong Xi stood opposite each other.

"You really want to go back to Beijing overnight?" Rong Xi sighed, "It's so exhausting."

Seeing his sincere eyes, Qin Ke felt a little soft in his heart, stretched out his hand to caress his hair, and said with a smile: "This matter should be done as soon as possible. Today's shock will definitely attract attention. I don't worry about it."

Rong Xi still wanted to persuade him to stay, but he heard him say: "I have ordered someone to protect you secretly, you must not leave the house these few days."

Seeing the young man slightly surprised, the man smiled apologetically, "If you feel uncomfortable, I can order Feng Shan to come and protect you personally."

As a carpenter, Feng Shan was invited to repair the ancestral house, which is quite normal.

"It's because I wasn't cautious enough." Rong Xi blamed himself a bit.

He wanted to test the effectiveness of gunpowder, but he didn't think about anything else, because he was used to living a stable life in his previous life, and he had already forgotten that Wei was not a place he knew well.

Even Qin Ke is so nervous and cautious, there must be hidden dangers hidden in it.

"It's not your fault," Qin Ke said with gentle eyes and a low tone, "It's just that I was too nervous."

Rong Xi's eyes showed confusion.

"You don't know your own abilities, so you will inevitably be careless." Qin Ke took the rein, "I have sworn to you that I will protect you from danger, so I can't break my promise."

He got on his horse, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, staring at Rong Xi for a while, and finally said: "Feng Liang, let's go back to the house."

Then he left without dust.

The next day, Feng Shan and his son visited Rong's house.

Except for Rong Xi, everyone was amazed.

"I was invited to repair the house," Rong Xi explained with a smile, and then told Liu Zishi, "In order to avoid the pain of running back and forth, Feng Gong and Feng Xiaolang are here for a few days, and you go to tidy up the bedroom."

Liu Zishi was overjoyed, La Fengli went to the backyard.

The two teenagers practiced martial arts together every day, and the friendship between teachers and brothers was deep, and they went away hand in hand.

Rong Xi led Feng Shan to a dilapidated courtyard, and said, "Feng Gong, that's it, I'm sorry."

The two of them knew each other well and said nothing nonsense.Feng Shan made a fake appearance and started to repair the house.

A few days ago, Rong's house was quiet and nothing happened.

Rong Xi no longer leaves the house, but it's not like he has nothing to do.

Yesterday Qin Keyan wanted to garrison troops in Mengshan to protect him in developing new weapons.He thought for a long time, it would be better to build a military factory in Mengshan.

Mengshan is rich in mineral resources and its geographical location is suitable. If it has the support of the imperial court and recruits craftsmen from all over the world, it will definitely be successful.

He spread the paper on the table and wrote down the plan with a pen.

However, there is too much storage in the brain, until the evening, the back and arms are sore, it is only the tip of the iceberg.

Writing in this way consumes too much paper.Dawei paper is expensive, so are pens and inks.

Thinking about the pencils of later generations, Rong Xi pondered for a moment and wrote a letter.After finishing the letter, go to Feng Shan and ask him to deliver the letter to Hu's residence.

He needs graphite, clay, gum, etc. If Hu Yulin can help him find them, he may try to make pencils, which will be much more convenient.

The next day, Feng Shan went to see him off in person, leaving his son Feng Li at home.

Anyway, there are people guarding the house in the dark, so he can go and come back quickly.

He left the house for about half an hour, when Rong Xi was reading a book in the room, suddenly someone came outside the house.

"Lang Jun, the medical center in the town asked someone to come, saying that Mrs. Gao had an emergency and was being diagnosed and treated in the medical hall." Liu Zishi reported outside the room.

Surprised, Rong Xi quickly stood up and opened the door, asking, "How is it now?"

He often went to Mr. Gao's house, and everyone in the town knew that he had a close relationship with Mr. Gao, so it was normal for someone to sue him.

After all, Master Gao has no relatives to accompany him.

Liu Zishi shook his head and said, "I don't know. Sir, do you want to take a look?"

Rong Xi naturally wanted to visit, but Qin Ke told him not to leave the house, so he hesitated.Besides, Master Gao has always been in good health, so how could he suddenly have an emergency?

"Do you know the people outside the door?" He asked Liu Zishi.

Liu Zishi nodded, "The one I recognize is the nephew of the owner of the rouge shop in the town."

Caution is the first priority, Rong Xi lowered his eyes to think, and said: "You and Feng Li go to the town's medical center together, and go on horseback. If Master Gao is really ill, report back quickly."

Liu Zishi was about to answer, but heard the noise coming from the front yard.

Before the two of them could react, they saw a young man rushing into the gate of the courtyard, seeing Rong Xi, his expression was quite excited, and he was about to step forward.

"Zishi! Stop him!"

Rong Xi immediately yelled.

Liu Zishi didn't know why, but he obeyed the order in his bones, and immediately stepped forward to stop the man.

The man seemed to be trying to unload his strength by chance, but found that Liu Zi was not moving.

At this time, Liu He rushed over, sweating profusely, "Mr. Lang, it was a careless servant who let him rush in!"

The man's expression changed suddenly, he clenched his hands into fists, and punched Liu Zishi. After all, Liu Zishi was a beginner in martial arts.

"Lang Jun!" Liu Zishi suddenly grabbed the man's legs, "Get in quickly!"

Fortunately, Feng Li heard the news and came in time.He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his combat strength is much higher than Liu Zishi's, but he is still invincible to men.

The two young boys did everything they could, using various methods such as hugging, pulling, and imprisoning, to hold the man desperately. Even though they were beaten until their noses and faces were swollen and blood was foaming, they did not give up.

"Brother!"

When Rong Lian heard the movement, he also came to have a look.

Seeing the scene in the courtyard, he was a little flustered and couldn't help shouting.

Rong Xi frowned, quickly went back to the room, took a light bow and crossbow, and pointed it at the man.

This was built by Jiang Weiping and Feng Shan in his spare time. Because it was not perfect, he didn't take it out to make a fool of himself.

Compared with the bow and arrow, this crossbow is much higher in both range and power.

He stood under the eaves of the corridor, with a dignified expression and sharp eyes.The tip of the arrow was glowing coldly, pointing directly at the man's throat.

The man shrank obviously, but seeing that he was still young and soft-born, his fear gradually dissipated.

"Mr. Rong Lang, the trapped beast is struggling, it is better to catch it without a fight. If you want to wait for someone to rescue, I am afraid there is no hope."

He laughed wildly: "If you feel sorry for the life of the child in my hands, put down your weapon immediately!"

Rong Xi sneered, without saying a word, and decisively activated the bow and crossbow!

The arrow pierced the air and hit the man's chest with a speed as fast as lightning. The man wanted to avoid it, but was trapped by the two teenagers.

He only heard the sound of the arrow piercing the flesh, and the man's screams entered his ears at the same time.

Liu Zishi and Feng Li looked at each other with brave faces, and pressed the man to the ground, unable to escape.

The arrow pierced through the man's right chest, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Rong Xi closed his eyes, he couldn't kill after all.

"Liu Weng, get the rope and tie him to the woodshed." He ordered, and then asked the two young boys, "How are you doing?"

Liu Zishi and Feng Li are in good health. Although they were in a terrible condition, they were lucky that they were not seriously injured.

"Lang Jun, we are fine, but you were frightened." Liu Zishi tugged at the corner of his mouth, his face contorted in pain.

Rong Xi approached, stroked the hair buns of the two, and said with a gentle smile, "I'll ask the doctor to come and see, and apply some wound medicine."

"Brother, I'm going to call for a doctor." Rong Lian said immediately.

Rong Xi stopped him, "The enemy is in the dark, we are in the dark, Xiao Xiao is treacherous. Earlier, they used the name of Master Gao to try to capture me. You are my own brother. If they use you as a threat, the situation will be at a disadvantage for us."

After he finished speaking, he frowned and his eyes darkened.

Qin Keyan sent people to guard the house secretly, but no one has appeared so far. It must be because they were broken into by thieves, and their life and death are unknown now.

Liu He fetched the rope, tied up the unconscious man tightly, and dragged him into the woodshed together with Xi Yan.

"Brother, what should we do with this person?" Rong Lian looked stern, as if he was already angry.

My brother lived in peace of mind, and suffered from this innocent disaster for no reason.

Rong Xi lowered his eyes and said coldly: "It's up to fate whether it's life or death."

At this time, Fang Fang realized that his situation had changed since the emperor's decree came to Mount Meng.

There are poisonous snakes around in the dark.

Qin Ke planned for a rainy day, and Ding had already expected it, so he arranged for people to protect each other secretly.However, the method of smelting iron and making glass will not attract too much attention from others, and I have no fear of my life.

Until the gunpowder sensation a few days ago, Qin Kefang was eager to return to Beijing to ask for an order.

He must have had a hunch.

"Zi Shi, Feng Li, the two of you go to rest, and wait for Feng Gong to return home..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Shan hurried into the house.

Seeing the blood in the courtyard, he was startled.

"Mr. Rong Lang, are you okay?" He observed Rong Xi carefully, and he was relieved when he saw that he was not injured at all.

Rong Xi asked blankly, "How did you find out?"

"Something careless, Mr. Rong forgives the crime." Feng Shan's face was full of shame, "The thief used medicine to stun the guards before he could enter the house."

Fortunately, the other party didn't dare to be rampant, and only sent one person here. If there were more people, Mr. Rong Lang would definitely be in trouble when he came back.

Rong Xi looked at Liu Zishi, "Why does the nephew of the owner of the Yanzhi shop behave like this?"

Liu Xiaoshen bowed his head in shame, "Lang Jun, please punish me, he came to visit his relatives a few days ago, and I have never seen him before."

On the street that day, he knocked the man down to the ground. After he apologized, the man asked him how to get to the rouge shop, and he showed him the way out of kindness.

Chatted a few words on the way to know each other's identities.

Unexpectedly, it was a trap!

Rong Xi shook his head and said: "I am also careless, it has nothing to do with you. Feng Gong, is the guard's life in danger?"

"Mr. Rong Lang is relieved, they are just in a coma." Feng Shan said fortunately, "Fortunately, the county king ordered the county magistrate to impose martial law before, otherwise there would be more thieves."

Rong Xi just pretended to be calm, but now that the crisis is over, he only feels his clothes soaked in cold sweat on his back.

The hand holding the crossbow trembled slightly, he turned around and said, "Please trouble Mr. Feng to send someone to call for a doctor."

"I'll go here."

After a false alarm, Rong Xi sat on the high chair after returning to the bedroom, feeling a little scared.

He doesn't know what the thief's purpose is, but the one who decides to come is not good.If he was really taken captive, the consequences would be disastrous.

Fortunately, Qin Ke was there to protect him.I don't know if his request will go well.

Shengjing County Prince's Mansion.

Qin Ke suddenly sneezed three times, which shocked Chen Chuangu's jaw.

"Hand out, let me see."

Qin Ke shook his head, "Nothing, no need."

The corners of his lips were slightly pursed, only for a moment of uneasiness.

"Do you really want to garrison Mengshan?" Chen Chuangu asked, holding his chin.

Qin Ke nodded and looked at him again, "You don't want to go with me?"

"Of course I would! How could you not want to enjoy the taste of immortality every day?" He smiled happily.

Qin Ke's expression was slightly cold, and his long eyelashes were cold, "Rong Dalang is a great talent in the world, how can he spoon for you every day?"

"It's me who is honored by the king of the county. You can give me a small bowl of rice with kindness, okay?" Chen Chuangu winked and rolled his eyes inwardly.

Mr. Qin was getting more and more speechless.

A few days later, the emperor finally promulgated a decree to set up a special military supervisor, ordering Qin Ke to concurrently serve as supervisor and Cheng Hao to concurrently serve as supervisor.

He only listens to the emperor's orders and is not controlled by any government.

Although this move was opposed by many courtiers, the young emperor was extremely tough this time, and all those who advised him were thrown into prison cells.

He believed in the power of fireballs that Qin Ke said, and also believed in Rong Dalang's ability to make utensils.

The decree has been issued, and the military supervision has been established.

Qin Ke was about to order his army to set off, but suddenly received an urgent letter from Mount Meng.

After spreading the letter, he suddenly changed his color, rushed to the courtyard, and ordered his servants to prepare their horses quickly.

Chen Chuangu stopped him and asked, "What happened?"

"An accident happened to Mount Meng, and I must go first." Qin Ke's expression was extremely cold, as if he was furious, "Go and tell Cheng Hao to let him lead the army to Mount Meng as soon as possible, without delay."

After all, leave in dust.

Chen Chuangu's brows were furrowed, making Qin so anxious, there should be nothing else except Rong Dalang.

Could it be that something happened to Rong Dalang?

His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly went to look for Cheng Hao.

Qin Ke traveled day and night, and Chi Yan was so exhausted that his hair turned black. If it weren't for the iron nails on the soles of his feet now, he might already be bleeding.

The sun is sinking in the western mountains, dusk is approaching, and the remote town is peaceful and quiet.

Suddenly they heard the sound of horseshoes approaching and stopped in front of Rong's house.

Chi Yan was about to collapse to the ground, if it wasn't for the fact that it was a steed, and its flesh and blood had been drained halfway, how could it have persisted until now?

Qin Ke's face was stern, and he had no time to knock on the door, so he jumped into the courtyard on horseback with his strength.

The courtyard was silent, and a guard appeared. Seeing his face, he was stunned for a moment, and Qin Ke gave him a cold look, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Is he injured?" His voice was slightly hoarse.

"Reporting to the king, Mr. Rong Lang was not injured." The guard said guiltily, "It is because the subordinates did not do their job effectively that they risked Mr. Rong's death."

Qin Ke settled down a little, and said calmly, "Go and receive the punishment yourself."

After speaking, he went straight to Rongxi's bedroom.

I don't bathe often in winter, and there is a lot of dirt on the body surface.Rong Xi couldn't bear it, so he took a bath in the side room.

Qin Ke entered the house, except for the guards in the dark, no one knew.

In front of the door of Rongxi's bedroom, he saw that the room was brightly lit, so he reached out to knock, but found that the door was unlocked, and it opened with a light push.

He was stunned for a while, although he felt that this move was inappropriate, but he was really worried about Rong Xi, so he stepped inside.

Looking around, there was no one in the house.

The bed is neat and clean, and the high chair stands alone beside the bed.

He listened intently, checked for any movement in the ear room, and walked away.

The ear room was only covered by a curtain, he lifted the curtain and entered without thinking too much, and saw a screen standing in front of him, and the sound of water suddenly came from behind the screen.

Under the candlelight, a figure grows on the screen, accompanied by the sound of splashing water, it is fully visible.

His head suddenly came to his senses, he hurriedly backed out of the curtain, went to the high chair next to the couch, and sat on the chair in a daze.

What I did just now is not an act of a gentleman.

Feelings of shame grew inside, he wanted to leave the bedroom, but he saw the curtain being lifted from the corner of his eye, leaving now was really too deliberate.

"Brother Si?"

Rong Xi was surprised at first, then overjoyed.

Anyone who sees a person suddenly appearing in the room after taking a bath will also be shocked.

Seeing the man's face clearly, he instantly felt at ease.

The young man was wearing a solid-color inner garment and a fur-collared cloak. He clasped his hands tightly to wrap himself tightly.

But even so, it feels cold.

Qin Ke had regained his composure, and beckoned, "Sit over here, and I'll wipe your hair for you."

It is his responsibility to protect carelessness.It was also his fault that he rushed into the room just now.

Adding the two together, Qin Ke felt guilty, and facing Rong Xi, his expression became more gentle, and he couldn't help but want to make up for it.

Rong Xi was stunned for a moment, and made eye contact with Qin Ke.

The young man's wet hair shawls his shoulders, and his face is as white as jade.The long eyelashes under the lamp cast dark shadows, falling on the lying silkworm, with a gentle and meaningful expression, which makes people feel peaceful.

"Brother Si?" Rong Xi asked aloud.

Qin Ke also felt that what he said just now was quite Meng Lang.However, the words have been exported, and it is difficult to take back the water.

He bit the bullet and tried to explain Rong Xi's doubts, "The guard accidentally fell into the trap of the thieves and put you in danger. It is really dereliction of duty. I feel guilty, so I want to do something for Da Lang to express my apology. "

Rong Xi suddenly showed his face, just after taking a bath, his eyes were as bright as stars, his lips were red and his teeth were white, shining brightly in the room.

"Brother Si speaks seriously." He sat on the couch and wiped his hair with a towel, "If I hadn't been careless before, I wouldn't have caused the jackals to be greedy."

Qin Ke persisted in taking the towel from his hand, his eyes determined.

"It's not your fault, it's my inability to protect you."

Rong Xi had no choice but to turn his back on Qin Ke and said with a smile, "You and I don't have to blame ourselves anymore, the culprit is the thief."

"Ah."

The man moved slowly, carefully wiping the water on his hair.

The juvenile's ink hair is like a waterfall, spreading on the shoulders and back, making it more immature and green.

"Have you ever been frightened?" Qin Ke asked softly, "The letter only said that there were thieves who made trouble in Rong's house and were injured by Rong Dalang's arrows, but did not detail the situation that day."

Rong Xi honestly said with emotion: "To be honest, I did break out in a cold sweat."

He laughed at himself, "Am I timid and useless?"

Since that day, he has been restless, and every night, he has nightmares again and again.

However, he is the master and brother, and he cannot mention the slightest thing to the rest of the house, and has been suppressed in his arms.Now, in front of Qin Ke, he unburdened himself and confessed frankly.

After a long while of silence, Rong Xi gradually felt uneasy, and was about to look back, but suddenly he heard the man whisper softly: "If you blame yourself, I should be even more guilty."

"At the age of sixteen, Dalang bravely fought against the bandits. If this is cowardice, what is bravery?"

When Rong Xi heard this, his eyes and nose were sore.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and he had never seen bloody slaughter.After wounding the thief, the blood flowed into the dream for several days and was hidden in the heart.

He bowed his head and remained silent for a while.

Putting the scarf on the case, Qin Ke suddenly smiled and said, "Si Wen killed the enemy for the first time, and it was also for self-protection. Afterwards, he couldn't sleep for a month. Compared with him, you are considered brave."

Knowing that he was comforting, Rong Xi's heart warmed a little. He turned to face Qin Ke, his eyes slightly wet, and his voice was weak, "If you are the God of War in Wei, you will have no fear."

Qin Ke was slightly taken aback.

Half of his side was hidden in the dark, and a bit of bitterness suddenly overflowed from his lips, which was fleeting.

"I am not a god, but also a mortal." His amber eyes flashed like shooting stars, "Fear never fades away."

But he is the "God of War", so how can he be afraid?

Rong Xi suddenly understood the deep meaning.

Like him, because he is the head of the family, he can't show his fear in front of Liu's grandparents; because he is the elder brother, he can't tell Rong Lian his fear.

As for Qin Ke, the God of War of the Wei Dynasty, his fear is even more indescribable.

Rong Xi felt the same, his eyes turned red, "Brother Si, Xi thought that he was afraid of Fang Yong."

Even if you are afraid in your heart, you are still desperate, so you are brave.

Qin Ke's mind moved slightly, and his expression became softer, "Da Lang is right."

He never mentioned it to anyone, but in front of Rong Dalang, he analyzed the fear in his heart.One is for comfort, and the other is that he also hid for a long time before he couldn't help himself.

"It's late at night, you should rest." Seeing his tired face, Qin Ke said.

Rong Xi suddenly tugged on his sleeve, seemingly unable to speak.

"Dalang have something to say?"

Under the dim candlelight, the young man's cheeks were flushed, his eyes touched the side, and he said in a low voice: "If I tell the truth, Brother Si, don't make fun of me."

Qin Ke's eyes were gentle, "Don't worry, but it's okay to say."

"I've often had nightmares these past few days." Rong Xi smiled pitifully and cutely at him, "Seeing Brother Si tonight, my heart is at peace and I no longer have any fear."

There was a sudden silence in the room.

The man stood on the couch, his eyes pale.The young man sat cross-legged on the couch, raised his head and pulled his sleeves.

"You sleep by yourself, I am here to accompany you."

"If you don't mind, how about resting together?"

The two people's voices collided, like chimes and bamboos entangled, and zithers and zithers singing in harmony.

Rong Xi couldn't help showing his face and showing his teeth, his eyes were curved, "I'm just joking, Brother Si, don't mind."

"You sleep, I'm here."

After Qin Ke finished speaking, he sat straight on the high chair.

Seeing him here, Rong Xi really felt at peace, because he was disturbed by nightmares for several days, he was extremely tired, and within a short while, he fell into a deep sleep.

A night without dreams.

Waking up the next day, Rong Xi thought about what happened last night, and suddenly turned around to see that there was no one on the high chair. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was a dream or real.

He got up and pushed the door out, the courtyard was silent.

Just as he was about to step out of the courtyard, he saw a familiar figure rushing into his eyes.

Thinking of last night's rude request, Rong Xi's cheeks felt hot.Si Zhixiong came here in a hurry, but because of the fear in his heart, he asked him to accompany him to occupy his rest time.

How rude!

When Qin Ke arrived, he saw Rong Xi's dumbfounded expression, stretched out his hand to caress his hair, and said, "The thief in the firewood house is not dead, I have transferred him, you don't have to worry anymore."

Rong Xi looked at him in surprise.

He actually knew what was on his mind!His fear is not only about hurting others, but more because of his uneasy conscience.

Life or death is up to fate.

This is easier said than done.

He was deeply influenced by the education of later generations. Even a death row prisoner has the right to seek medical treatment.

Now he let the thieves fend for themselves in the firewood room, only continued to live with rice soup every day, and did not call for a doctor to treat the wounds.

A little carelessness, if the injury is infected, it will be a life.

The firewood room is only a hundred steps away from the bedroom, how can he sleep peacefully?

"You arrived last night and haven't rested yet. Now that you have nothing to do, why don't you go to the bedroom to rest for half a day?" He suggested sincerely.

The man's eyes were slightly black and his face was haggard. Last night, the candlelight was dim, so he couldn't see it vaguely.

Now that the sky is bright and the view is obvious, Rong Xi is quite distressed besides guilt.

The Great Wei God of War is also a mortal.

If he walks alone with heavy burdens, thousands of people will be peaceful and peaceful.

It is both admirable and heartbreaking.

"it is good."

Qin Ke saw the concern in his eyes, and the corners of his lips raised slightly. After agreeing, he walked towards the bedroom.

Before long, Qin Ke woke up.

To show his gratitude, Rong Xi cooks it himself, and puts sumptuous dishes on the table at Shen Shi, all of which are favored by Qin Ke.

All the masters and servants in Rong's house were determined when they saw Qin Ke arrive.

Not only Rong Xi, they also haven't slept peacefully in the past few days.

After dinner, Rong Xi invited Qin Ke to the study, and the two sat facing each other with a correct posture.

Qin Ke suddenly smiled and said, "The high chair in Dalang's house is really comfortable, why don't you give me one?"

Rong Xi would never refuse what he asked.

"This is made by Feng Gong. If you like it, I will ask Feng Gong to make a few more."

Rong Xi took the bow and crossbow and put it on record, saying: "This crossbow was made jointly by Feng Gong and brother Shouyuan. The range and strength of the crossbow are beyond comparison with ordinary bows and arrows. Why don't you try it, Brother Si?"

"it is good."

The two got up and went outside the house. There was a thick locust tree behind them. Qin Ke was far away. Under Professor Rong Xi, he turned the mechanism, only to hear the sound of the arrow cracking the sky, and flew away. The tip of the arrow suddenly sank deep into the tree trunk, shaking slightly .

Even with Qin Ke's arm strength, Zhang Gong can reach this level.However, ordinary soldiers do not have divine arms, so it is easier to kill the enemy with a crossbow than with a bow and arrow.

"Very good." He bowed his lips in praise.

"If the army can prepare this crossbow, the combat power will be stronger."

Rong Xi also knows, but now his career is still in its infancy. Although he has a heart, he is extremely short of manpower.

Today, he doesn't even have the most basic laboratory, let alone a research partner?

"Brother Si, Big Wei Rushouyuan, and Feng Gong are skilled craftsmen, although there are not a few of them, but what they can do is nothing more than talent or experience, without systematic learning, and each craftsman hides his own ability and passes it on to the family. It is a precious treasure, and I don’t want to spread it outside.”

Seeing Qin Ke's confused eyes, he put it another way.

"How does brother I don't know how to train soldiers?" He asked humbly.

Qin Ke glanced at him, fell silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "This is military information, so don't reveal it at will."

Seeing that Rong Xi was stunned, he apologized behind him, and he followed his heart and said, "However, His Majesty has set up a military weapon supervisor. You build military weapons for the imperial court. You can also inform you of this military situation."

Rong Xi laughed out loud, his eyes curved like a winding moon, his teeth as white as shells, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Brother Si, you don't need to tell me, I just want to ask, the training of soldiers in the military camp is like a school, soldiers Everyone obeys the orders of the instructor, don't you?"

Qin Ke nodded.

"Since students are like this and soldiers are like this, why can't craftsmen be like this?"

The light in Rong Xi's eyes flashed, "The Great Wei Dynasty ruled the country with literature, with Wu Anbang, with agriculture as the foundation, but those in business and industry are regarded as low-level."

The young man looked like a morning star, and said sincerely: "But which pen, ink, paper and inkstone used by literati were not made by craftsmen? Which contradictory armor used by soldiers was not made by craftsmen? Not to mention agricultural tools."

"Brother Si, if it weren't for the superb skills of the craftsmen, how would civil servants and generals be able to secure the country?"

He is not exaggerating the abilities of craftsmen, but only hopes that the imperial court can relax the government order so that craftsmen and businessmen can get benefits that match their own abilities.

"I understand what you said." Qin Ke's face was serious, but his eyes were soft, "I know you have ambitions, but everything should be done step by step, don't be impatient."

Rong Xi immediately calmed down. After experiencing the thief, he was indeed quite impatient.

"It's me who has nothing to say, Brother Si, don't take it for granted." Rong Xi smiled shyly.

The young man was generous and polite, but his face was a little immature, and he looked cute and amiable. Qin Ke softened his heart a little, "Waiting for Cheng Shilang to lead the army, there is an order from His Majesty, what you think may be feasible."

Rong Xi then showed his face and nodded, and suddenly asked: "Brother Si, where did that thief come from? What's his purpose?"

"He is under the command of King Shun." Qin Ke's face turned cold, "I want to capture you to help."

Rong Xi's eyebrows moved slightly.

I remember that in the later part of the book, Liang Siwen made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion and was granted the title of Marquis of Weining.The rebellion he suppressed was King Shun.

King Shun, who is the half-brother of the Holy One, is now entrenched in Jizhou, eyeing Shengjing covetously.

Jizhou is not far from Qingzhou. It is normal for him to set up spies and dead soldiers in Qingzhou.After Rong Xi's name spread far and wide, he sent people to arrest him, and he definitely wanted to force Rong Xi to make weapons to help him rebel.

Fortunately, Qin Ke took precautions and planned for Shen Yi to clean up the abnormal people secretly. He took Rong Zhai as his heart and imposed martial law for a few miles around.

"If it wasn't for Brother Si's vigilance, I might have become a caged beast now." Rong Xi was sincerely grateful.

"It doesn't have to be like this between you and me."

After Qin Ke finished speaking, he looked at the bow and crossbow in his hand again, and said: "This thing is very good. This time, the Holy One also sent many skilled craftsmen here, saying that it is for you to send. If you have a good idea, you can order them."

Only Feng Shan and Jiang Weiping are not strong enough.

"it is good."

After the two returned to the house together, it happened that Hu Yulin visited.

A few days ago, Rong Xi asked Feng Shan to deliver a letter to him. The letter said that he needed graphite and other raw materials, so he bought some and delivered it himself.

"Da Lang!" Hu Yulin got out of the car and showed his face.

But after seeing Qin Ke, he was immediately cautious, and after seeing the ceremony, he smiled slightly at Rong Xi and said, "You asked me to buy raw materials earlier, and I have already found them. I wonder what new utensils Da Lang wants to make?"

Rong Xi smiled brightly and sincerely, "Thank you, Brother Xuanshi! When the new utensil is finished, I will be the first to tell Brother Xuanshi."

"Very good." Hu Yulin wanted to grab his shoulders, but Qin Ke was beside him, so he was too polite, so he had to pat him a few times.

The narrow and long eyes are slightly curved, the tails of his eyes are flying, and the corners of his lips are smiling, which looks quite handsome and romantic.

However, with the Great Wei God of War at his side, his light dimmed a lot.

"Brother Xuanshi, why don't you stay for dinner?" Rong Xi suggested sincerely thanking him for his hard work.

Hu Yulin naturally agreed.

Jianfu piled the raw materials into bags in the sundry room, among which graphite and clay were the most abundant.

Qin Ke left the house due to some business, and Hu Yulin relaxed a lot. He sat in the study with Rong Xi, and suddenly said with a serious face: "I heard that the Holy Lord set up a military supervisor, so I guessed that it was related to you. Now that King Qin is here, it seems that I The guess is true."

"Brother Minsi, Xi Pei admires." Rong Xi poured tea for him, and said calmly, "I know you are worried about me. However, a husband, standing in the world, must not do nothing. I have no intention of being an official, but I also want to do my best. Yes, do something real."

Hu Yulin sighed with emotion, "That's fine, it's a crime to conceive a jade, if someone covets it, you may be injured."

Rong Xi smiled without saying a word.

After dinner, Hu Yulin returned and Qin Ke returned.

"Are you ready for dinner?" As soon as Rong Xi finished his sentence, he heard Qin Ke's belly groan, and he suddenly rolled his eyes and laughed.

Seeing Qin Ke's gloomy expression, he had no choice but to hold back and said, "What do you want to eat?"

"random."

Sounds like no choice at all.

Rong Xi knew his taste, so he stopped asking and went to the kitchen.

After a while, the dish was placed on the table, and the fragrance was overflowing.

A bowl of bone soup noodles, the soup is thick and white, and it is decorated with wolfberries and green onions, which is full of color and taste.

In the bowls and dishes next to it, the vegetarian roast goose tastes bright and red, which greatly increases the appetite.Although it is called vegetarian roast goose, it is all vegetarian.

Wrap overcooked yam with bean curd skin, fry it in oil, add autumn oil, wine, ginger and other ingredients, it is very delicious.

Tofu skin is a derivative of tofu. Although Rong Xi has never taught others, Wei people seem to be quite talented when it comes to eating.

After tofu, tofu skin came into being and became a delicacy loved by the people.

Qin Ke was not polite. He ate three bowls of noodles and two plates of vegetarian roast goose. He still couldn't get enough of it.

After dinner, Rong Xi invited him to the study, intending to tell him all the plans in his heart.

But Qin Ke suddenly stopped, with half of his face hidden in the dark, his long eyelashes drooping, he didn't meet Rong Xi's eyes, and his tone of voice was calm.

"If you need raw materials, thousands of soldiers will be available for you to send in the future."

Rong Xi: "..."

Should he act excited?

"Xi Xian thank you brother Si." The young man smiled, his eyebrows were even more handsome under the faint candlelight.

Qin Ke glanced at him silently, then turned and went into the study.

"You want to make a new weapon?"

The two sat down facing each other, and Qin Ke asked straight to the point.

"Just try it out." Rong Xi took a piece of paper from the desk drawer and handed it to the man, "This is my preliminary plan, Brother Si, please read it."

Qin Kedun was interested, so he took it and read it carefully, and his long eyelashes trembled more and more as he went back.

Although there are many things that he doesn't understand, Rong Xiju explained it clearly. If it is really feasible, it will definitely benefit the people and be of great benefit.

"In the past, I was narrow-minded and thought that you were only good at crafting, but I didn't expect you to be extraordinary in farming." Qin Ke confessed his shame.

The more I get along with Rong Xi, the more I feel that the young man has a wide mind.

In Rongxi's plan, not only the making of utensils is mentioned, but also agriculture.However, it takes too long for agriculture to take effect, so I only mention a few words.

But even just a few words are enough for Qin Ke to understand the meaning.

"Brother Si laughed." Rong Xi showed shame.

He is just imitating the skills of his predecessors, so he should not be praised so highly.

The two talked for a long time, and they stopped at Haishi.

After dinner the next day, Rong Xi took out a little graphite powder and clay, mixed them evenly in proportion, put them in a bucket, filled them with water and stirred them.

Finally, the slurry is poured into the mold to dehydrate it.Take it out again and wait for it to air dry.

"What new device? What's its use?" Qin Ke asked beside him.

Rong Xi replied earnestly: "Xi is greedy for convenience, and feels that writing with brush and ink is really hindering. I see that this graphite has a fine texture, is oily to the touch, and is easy to stain, so I try to make a pen tool."

He also borrowed the thoughts of the sages, but he was really ashamed because he couldn't explain clearly.

Part of the profits gained in the future should be used to support the research plan, and the remaining money and silk will be used to do more good deeds and spread widely.

Never use this to seek huge profits and seek pleasure.

Qin Ke didn't know what was going on in his heart, and he was surprised only by hearing it.

The ancestors carved characters with stones, bones and other utensils, and today they express their emotions with brushes. During this period, the changes have gradually evolved.

If Rong Dalang can really make new utensils, it will be handed down to future generations.

Of course, the premise is that the new device can be needed by people.

"Brother Si, can you send letters to Jiang and Feng respectively for me?"

After cleaning his hands, Rong Xi took out two letters.

Without hesitation, Qin Ke summoned the guards in the dark to deliver the letter.

A few days later, wait for the graphite slurry to air dry, crush it again, pour water again and mix thoroughly until it is dough-like.

At that time, Rong Xi asked Feng Shan and Jiang Weiping to make all the utensils, which were all transported to Rong's house.

Rong Xi borrowed a mold to shape the graphite mud, which is no different from the pencil lead of later generations. Later, he was fired by kiln workers to make it hard.

The refill is complete, just waiting to be wrapped with wood.

According to what Feng Shan said in his letter, he dug out semicircular grooves on the wooden strips, and when the two of them fit together, the pen core can be surrounded inside.

Rong Xi glued the gaps with gum, and a simple pencil was enough.

Everyone looked at it curiously, and Liu Zishi was the most realistic. He asked, "Mr., can this thing really write?"

Rong Xi took the paper from the table, cut off the end of a brush, and when the refill was exposed, he began to write.

I can really write!

Rong hurriedly took a closer look, and saw that the handwriting on the paper was very small, but the strokes of the pen were clearly visible, and brother's handwriting was good, and his style was no worse than that of calligraphy.

Several people tried to use it, but they were not familiar with the posture of holding the pen, so they couldn't write correct handwriting.

Qin Ke had just observed carefully, and now he is writing with a pen, and the handwriting is still good, but due to excessive force, the refill of the pen suddenly broke, and long marks were drawn on the paper.

The room was silent.

After a while, Xiyan suddenly praised: "The king of the county has great strength!"

Rong Xi smiled, took the pen from his hand, and said, "It's already pretty good."

Looking at the words on the paper, Qin Ke felt annoyed in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. He got up and said, "This pen is good. It saves a lot of troublesome things, and it's easy to carry. It's very good."

To write with a brush, you need to grind the ink, wash the brush, etc. If you are not careful, the ink will drop on the paper, causing the surface of the scroll to be unclean.And it is really inconvenient to carry a pen, ink, paper and inkstone with you.

The rest of the people nodded one after another to show their approval.

Rong Xi smiled, the use of pencils is far more than that.

A few days later, Cheng Hao and his party arrived at Mount Meng, and the county magistrate Shen Yi greeted him at the gate of the city, and he couldn't hide the joy between his brows.

Mengshan has this honor, as a county magistrate, he is naturally extremely happy in his heart.
