Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Weapon of Murder 3
In any case, Wu Jiang and the Zhang brothers also have a certain understanding of the explosives made, although the first explosion in their hands is just something similar to a bombardment, which still makes the three of them excited and unbearable and have not slept all night.
What kind of curiosity is this? At this time, only this guy knows it.
Fortunately, during this period of time, because of the old man's stay, Zuo Chen did not dare to be too sleepy, and always got up to practice martial arts when the sky was light. Zuo Chen, who opened the door, was really startled, what happened? Three straight men stood in the doorway, staring at him in unison for a moment.
“… So... Early, I'm going to practice......" Zuo Chen underestimated the three of them's desire to learn, and he stammered for a while.
"You go and practice first, let's go into the house and wait." Zhang Kang couldn't help but say, and dragged the arms of the two into the house.
If you are so anxious, can you still run away? Zuo Chen, who pouted his lips, sneered, and he was also restless when he walked to the old man's courtyard to practice, but the rise of don't play and cause trouble, it would not be good.
Zuo Chen's worries are not unreasonable, curiosity about novel things is often accompanied by the desire to control, the particularity of gunpowder is often extremely peaceful when it does not show its power, once it encounters an open flame will be an uncontrollable situation, after practicing for a while, he always feels restless, hurriedly took a look at the old man's closed door, and ran back to his courtyard like the wind.
Xu Yes, the morning sun was not very sufficient, this guy poured out a small handful of gunpowder, scattered on the stone steps outside the house, as if staring at the ants moving, Zhang Kang's face was already dark, and no one laughed at him for being unconscious.
"What's going on?" Seeing Zhang Kang's expression, Zuo Chen couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Kang raised his head, the blank look on his dark face was still clearly distinguishable, and his eyes became brighter and brighter as he blinked his eyes.
finally couldn't help it, Wu Jiang and Zhang Youcai just straightened up, laughed and bent over again. It turned out that this thing couldn't see clearly when he was in the house, and Zhang Kang held the candle and lowered his body to look at it, but he didn't think that the smoke protrusion would blacken Zhang Kang's face.
The four of them burst into laughter for a while, and no one was spared, Zhang Youcai and Wu Jiang each took a kick from Zhang Kang.
"What a system to laugh and laugh all day long! Zuo Chen, come with me! I don't know when the old man appeared at the door, and scolded with a tiger face, which frightened everyone abruptly, and stood with a smile and stood with his hands tied, how dare he speak rashly.
The arrival of the old man is like a needle in the sea, making people feel down-to-earth at the same time, but also restrained, everyone sometimes thinks about it is really uncomfortable, it is more restrained than in the barracks, so at that time, the general should turn a blind eye, as long as it is not too hot, it is still very cheerful, this is good, seeing the old man is like a mouse and a cat, and he doesn't know how to please him, especially Zhang Kang and a few other wine worms, where do they dare to secretly drink a sip of wine, and only watch the wine jug flow on the dinner table.
"It's been such an hour, and your uncle hasn't returned home, which means ...... The emperor is listening to the government normally today. ”
I don't understand the old man's thoughts, Zuo Chen can only listen, seeing the old man casually glance at him, he stood up straight in a panic, knowing that the old man doesn't like to stand or sit the most.
"I guess ......" Old Liu Tou raised his head, paused slightly, and said: "This time is different from your burning of Li Ziqin's bedroom, the emperor always has to take into account the dignity of the royal family, and the dignified Prince Jing's mansion was almost razed to the ground. This man! Sometimes it's really frustrating! It's obvious that they don't want to see each other like they want to see each other, but they still have to take into account those ethereal dignity. ”
Zuo Chen didn't expect the old man to be so emotional, and he couldn't figure out the specific intention of these words, so he hesitated and didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, the old man didn't plan to listen to him, so he made arrangements for Zuo Chen.
"You kid has a royal token, it can always come in handy at a critical time, wash up and dress up to meet the emperor!"
"Grandpa, what do you mean?"
Old Liu Tou glanced at Zuo Chen, and said in his heart that this hasn't been figured out yet, how did it get mixed up in Kyoto during this time? It seems that he is cautious, and he has to be tempered a lot, so he thought about it, and couldn't help but say that his tone was even more soothing, "What else, it's better to take the blame and give him the emperor a step down, he has already taken advantage and thinks about leaving no way back, but it will leave too many troubles, since I can't solve the contradictions, let the emperor and Prince Jing and his brothers negotiate, let him eat the dog's hair, what does it have to do with us!" ”
"Take the initiative to admit it, will the emperor let me go easily?" Listening to the old man's idea, Zuo Chen had already begun to secretly complain in his heart, thinking that no one was grasping the handle, and he guessed that he would not be guilty of himself. If you take the initiative to admit it in this way, will you be used by people with ulterior motives to help you do not like it?
"Antai's world is the emperor's, and whoever wants to fight against the water is destined to have no good end! In other words, if you have a good relationship with the emperor, you will have an unbreakable iron backer. I stayed up all night last night, and after weighing the pros and cons, I decided that the clown should just jump, and our Liu family would avoid it. Remember! Don't muddy the waters! Presumably, Lao Liu Tou was already thoughtful, and there was no stumbling between his words, accompanied by a solemn expression, which can be described as not angry but mighty!
"But, Grandpa. The grandson still thinks ......"
"It's not something you don't think, it's something you have to do!"
“…… That... Explosives..., it's a big killing weapon that is a hundred times more powerful than a repeater, how do you explain it? "Since the old man's intentions have never changed, it is obvious that there must be a safe explanation for the problem of explosives, and the emperor will not let go of this suspicion easily.
"The explosives ......, no matter how you explain them, you can't hide it." Old Liu Tou shook his head with a wry smile, and raised his eyes to see that Zuo Chen's face was full of bitterness.
"How's that going to work? This is the grandson's current big secret, and it leaked out to the world like this! Zuo Chen's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, the old man was not reliable, wouldn't it be so voluntary to admit it, and even a life-saving secret weapon would be blown out in the future, wouldn't it be a loss of power!
At this time, you kid also know that the secret leaked out of the world and there was no greater power? If it weren't for your kid in the early stage who was out of the limelight and revealed all kinds of unheard things to the world, how could you lie and have no proper reason? The slanderous old Liu Tou knew that if there were no such things, the emperor might not be able to take a fancy to Zuo Chen, as the so-called advantages and disadvantages, there is nothing to feel sorry for, but just like this, which reason is too far-fetched, you can only take one step at a time.
