Chapter 1120: Carrying on the Past and Forging a New Tomorrow (10)
"Am I really good?" Gao Yuan smiled, put his hand on Ning Xin's plump chest casually, and gently twisted the bud with his fingers through the thin clothes. Ning Xin stretched out her hand and pressed Gao Yuan's hand to prevent him from moving at will, half-raised her head, and said seriously: "Yes, you don't know, it is said that the three ladies of the Han King are said outside, but they favor the third lady, haven't you heard of it?"
"I really haven't heard of that." Gao Yuan's eyes widened and looked at Ning Xin: "This is the reason why he has tried all his excuses to avoid me these days?"
"I didn't avoid you!" Ning Xin said with a red face.
"You're afraid that Jing'er and they have ideas, right?" Gao Yuan patted Ning Xin's high-raised buttocks, "Don't worry, Jing'er is not such a stomachless person."
"The crowd is gold, the accumulation of broken bones, a few people say it's a rumor, if the crowd resigns, then it will be a fake, I don't want your backyard to catch fire." Ning Xin said seriously: "When Gao Ning is full moon, that grand fireworks is enough to make some people think about it."
"Go your own way and let others do the talking!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"Forget it, I won't tell you about this, it's better to go to Jing'er after discussing it with you, by the way, Mao Wei's disappearance, do you really care? I don't think you're paying much attention to this these days?" Ning Xin straightened up and sat up.
"To say that I don't care at all is false." Gao Yuan nodded, "It's like raising a pig for the New Year, and suddenly someone steals it, of course I'm upset. But don't worry too much. Gunpowder is actually not a high threshold, and it is very easy to make it if you pierce that layer of paper."
"But Mao Wei is not only able to make gunpowder, he is quite familiar with the formulas of our various gunpowders, if he falls into the hands of the Qin people, the sharp weapon of this country is shared by the Qin and Han dynasties." Ning Xin sighed.
"What?" Gao Yuan said proudly: "In the past, everyone only had big swords and spears, and I was much worse than them, so I didn't let me go step by step to today, everyone has them, but it also depends on how to use them. It's not that I look down on them, even if they get gunpowder and make gunpowder, it's just like we did in Kangping City, setting off fireworks."
"Isn't that scary? With a bang, the wall of a hundred meters collapsed!" Ning Xin's heart palpitated.
"We, big man, have guarded the city a few times!" Gao Yuan laughed and said, "It has always been us who attack and the enemy defends. Don't worry, gunpowder is just a rudimentary product, and in the future, there will be more and more powerful weapons that will make you lose your big teeth."
"What kind of cannon are you talking about?" Ning Xin's eyes widened, "Isn't the military workshop in Jishi City always tackling key problems?" Got eyebrows?"
"It's early, it's so easy, and the samples that are made now are all garbage piles. It's so far from what I asked." Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "It will take three or five years to succeed!"
"Three or five years is not slow. According to what you said, gunpowder was a primary product that lasted for several years, and finally succeeded because of an accident." Ning Xin nodded.
"Let them build the cannon first, accumulate some experience, failure is the mother of success, fail a few times, and naturally sum up a lot of experience." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"When your cannon is built, Qin Chu will no longer have to be afraid." Ning Xin Dao.
"Now I'm not afraid of them, the purpose of my cannon is actually to kill fewer people, Xin'er, when the cannon goes off, the earth-shattering formation is enough to make the vast majority of people lose their determination to resist. It really hurts my heart to fight a war now, and so many people die in every battle!" Gao Yuan shook his head and said.
Ning Xin was silent for a moment, "Although Tan Feng is cunning, he may not be able to succeed this time, Niu Ben and Tang He are both experienced veterans, I think they may be able to intercept Mao Wei."
"I'm not as optimistic as you are." Gao Yuan shook his head: "Tan Feng, this guy, is really a talent, this time in order to get our gunpowder, it is a lot of money, the ghost shadow of the Chu State, and the Black Ice Platform of the Qin State are all dispatched with great fanfare, just to cover for him, he is surprised here, he succeeds in one fell swoop, and it will be difficult to intercept them again, and it is impossible for us to send people to pull the border into a circle hand in hand, our big man is too big now, it is not easy to block these few people."
"That's right, the spy who dug up from the household this time is really surprising, and after digging him out, we finally understood why Tan Feng found the target so accurately and was able to design such an ingenious conspiracy. It is also unbelievable that they actually judged that Mao Wei was in an important position in the Yizhen Research Institute from the salary roster issued by the Ministry of Households, and this also reminded our Supervision Yuan that in the future, the salaries of personnel in such departments can no longer be sent out from the Ministry of Households. The household is simply a big sieve, and anyone can penetrate it."
"Only a thousand days to be a thief, then there is a thousand days to prevent thieves, people have targeted you, over the years, you can finally find some flaws." Gao Yuan smiled: "But how can you become atmospheric by sneaking in?" They can steal the gunpowder formula, but my Dahan technology is changing with each passing day, can they steal everything? Even if they stole it, would they be able to carry it forward? Can you take him a step further? So don't worry too much about this one."
"If it really fails, the blow to the Supervision Yuan will be too great, and I am afraid that many people will be unlucky because of this." Ning Xin shook her head: "Tang He is really unlucky, he did a good job in Jishi County, you just transferred him back, and you encountered this kind of thing."
"Ups and downs, it's normal!" Gao Yuan said: "Tang He used to be too smooth, and it is good for him to be frustrated. Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's go see Gao Ning, the little girl has been eight months, and yesterday the nurse told me, and the little guy began to babble."
The bright moon hung high in the sky, in the wilderness, several carriages were quietly parked in the moonlight, a group of people sat on the ground, and were gnawing the dry and hard steamed buns, a mouthful of water, a mouthful of steamed buns, a team of dozens of people, but none of them made a sound, looking at their clothes and the things on the carriage, this is a caravan, but the caravan does not enter the city, does not live in the inn, itself is a suspicious thing.
Tan Kang stuffed the last bit of bun in his hand into his mouth, tilted his neck and drank a large sip of water, clapped his hands, and stood up, and as he stood up, everyone sitting in the seat stood up with a thud.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our operation this time has been half successful so far, we have successfully hijacked the target person, and the other half is to transport the target person back safely, to this day, I will not hide it from you, you, including me, will be the victims of this operation, our purpose is to attract the attention of the Han State Supervision Yuan and the military, and create a chance for the real escort of the target to leave successfully. This mission, nine out of ten lives, no, no, it can also be said that there is death and no life, are you ready?" Tan Kang said in a deep voice.
"Do your best, and then die." Dozens of people shouted in unison.
"Okay, we are all the closest people to the young master over the years, and it is precisely because of this that this mission sent us out, raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, your family, the young master has been properly settled, and we don't have to worry about it." Tan Kang said: "Before leaving, the young master asked me to express my gratitude to everyone here."
Tan Kang bent down deeply.
"Don't dare to be!" Dozens of people turned sideways one after another, avoiding Tan Kang's salute, "We are all people who are deeply favored by the Tan family, and dying for the young master is exactly what we deserve."
An elderly man said in a loud voice: "Tantou'er, you give an order, what should we do next?"
"Okay, next, we will divide the troops into two routes, all the way to Handi, led by Tan Tong, one route led by me, go to Linyi, go to Kangping City, and enter Daba Mountain. Our task on both sides is to delay as much time as possible, everyone, you can escape one more day without being caught by the people of the Supervision Yuan, and the real team escorting the target person can get out of the Han realm for one more day, do your best. If you are lucky enough to escape, we will see you in Yingshui, if you can't run, haha, I think I, Tan Kang, will also be waiting for you on the Nai He Bridge."
"I am willing to live and die with Tantouer."
"Okay, let's go!" Tan Kang waved his hand and walked straight to a carriage. Tan Tong looked at his own people behind him, and also shouted, "Let's go."
Two groups of people, one on the left and one on the right, parted ways. Soon it disappeared into the thick of the night.
More than ten days later, in Handi, a horse-drawn carriage, under the escort of more than a dozen people, suddenly attacked when it was being inspected by the army's temporary outpost, killing more than a dozen soldiers of this outpost in one fell swoop, rushing through the outpost and fleeing for their lives. After a few moments, the alerted army immediately sent cavalry in pursuit, and after a long day of pursuit, the Han cavalry finally caught up with the fleeing team and surrounded them.
Kong Fang looked at Niu Ben beside him, "General Niu, this is the person you want to arrest?"
Niu Ben nodded, rode out, looked at the dozen enemies gathered around the carriage, holding weapons in their hands, and said in a deep voice: "This is the end, hand over the people we want, you can still live."
Tan Tong's face was extremely haggard, and the escape of more than ten days had brought them to the brink of collapse, but his heart was extremely excited, because they had dragged the pursuing team for more than ten days, looking at Niu Ben, he threw the big knife in his hand, and laughed loudly: "Niu Ben, do you think you won, hahaha, you want this person, okay, I'll give it to you."
The carriage door opened suddenly, looking at the things in the carriage door, Niu Ben's eyes contracted, and with a loud shout, he suddenly turned over and fell straight down from the horse, there was indeed a person in the carriage, but this person was holding an arm crossbow in his hand.
With a loud roar, the crossbow shot Niu Ben's horse through it, and if Niu Ben reacted a little slowly, he would have been killed on the spot.
"Kill them!" Kong Fang gave a sharp order, and the cavalry roared and rode up.
Niu Ben got up from the ground, his face full of anger: "The horse sent a message to Tang He, and we are here under the guise of a disguise. The real target is on his side, let him be careful." (To be continued......)
