Sitting at the Fuzhi Inn, Gu Qing's mind was still groggy, he didn't take Li Longji's stern reprimand to heart, he was thinking about a flintlock pistol.

Troubled times are coming, only the strength in his hands can make him feel safe, and the flintlock pistol is his strength.

Soon Li Longji will taste the collapse of the prosperous era, when the Son of Heaven fled from Chang'an in embarrassment, and the one who can really gallop the world is the general who holds the military power.

According to Gu Qing's assumption, if there were machine tools to make springs in this era, all problems would be solved, but under such almost primitive industrial conditions, it would be too difficult to make springs.

Then you have to use a substitute, or replace the role of the spring with the principle of mechanical gear buckle, which is easier said than done. Gu Qing was engaged in business in his previous life, and he didn't know anything about technical things, so he knew the principle of the flintlock pistol or watched a documentary about the development of medieval hot weapons in Europe when he was idle, and he vaguely had some impressions of the flintlock pistol.

The Middle Ages in Europe couldn't make springs, so how did they make flintlock pistols work?

Use one's noodle!

Huangfu Sisi looked at Gu Qing in the front hall from afar, frowning and sighing from time to time, his eyes were already dark, and his expression was much haggard than usual, Huangfu Sisi couldn't help but feel distressed, and he didn't dare to disturb Gu Qing.

Turning to look at Han Jie, who was holding his sword and silent, Huangfu Sisi said softly: "General Han, what's wrong with him lately?" ”

Han Jie's eyes didn't open, and he said lightly: "Hou Ye has something on his mind, but Hou Ye has told him that his heart is top secret, so he can't tell you." ”

Huangfu Sisi suddenly became nervous: "Something?" Or is it an ulterior matter? Don't...... Something to do with women? Did he meet a new woman again? ”

Han Jie finally opened his eyes, and his gaze quickly glanced over her face.

This woman's thinking is really strange, what kind of woman He De can make Hou Ye have a heart? Why do women always blame all the problems of the world on men and women? Han Jie's own mother-in-law is the same, she was honest after picking up all night, and after a few days, she was suspicious and suspicious, so she had to continue to pick up, repeatedly, which was quite costly.

Seeing that Han Jie closed his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to her, Huangfu Sisi snorted.

The subordinates of that wood are also all wood, but that Wang Gui has a flamboyant tongue, as if all the eloquence of the soldiers of the Anxi Army has grown to Wang Gui's mouth alone.

Huangfu Sisi flashed in front of Gu Qing, his bewitching eyes stared straight at his face, Gu Qing was thinking about something, and an unknown object suddenly appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

Huangfu Sisi said dissatisfiedly: "Master Hou, is the concubine very scary?" Why is Master Hou so frightened? ”

Gu Qing said angrily: "You don't look scary, you appear scary, although I don't give money for dinner, but if you want to use this method to scare away guests who don't give money, then it's a thousand mistakes, a person doesn't even give money for food, and his sense of moral shame is extremely weak, on the contrary, his psychological tolerance is extremely strong." ”

Huangfu Sisi sneered and said, "Master Hou saved the life of the concubine last time, and you don't have to pay money when you come to the shop to eat in the future." ”

Gu Qing nodded: "Even if I didn't save your life, I don't plan to give money when I come to eat in your store, I don't know why, I always feel that it is natural to eat in your store without giving money, and only when I give money can I call it outside." ”

Huangfu Siqiao's face flushed, and he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Does Lord Hou regard the concubine as his own family?" ”

"No, you're thinking too much, I'm just treating you like a soft persimmon."

Huangfu thought about it, took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.

Well, it's long time gone to get used to it, chatting with this guy never talks about ten sentences normally, and within ten sentences you will be able to anger people.

"General Han said just now that Master Hou has something on his mind,...... Can the concubine ask the Hou Ye what is on his mind? Huangfu Sisi's beautiful eyes blinked, with a pitiful look, and said aggrievedly: "I haven't been to the concubine's shop for many days, could it be that the Hou Ye has met which delicate little lady in the city again?" ”

Gu Qing said inexplicably: "In addition to the Qinglou in the city, where is there a delicate little lady?" ”

Huangfu Sisi snorted: "That's not necessarily, there are more and more people coming in and out of Qiuzi City, and those businessmen are all lustful, many of them have black hair and blue eyes, they look weird, and there is a smell of mutton on their bodies that can't be washed off, maybe Hou Ye likes this mouthful." ”

Gu Qing's eyes lit up: "Okay, the mutton taste is good, let's eat this today, the weather is cold, and it is suitable for tonic." Stew me a mutton hot pot, the mutton should be fresh, put more seasonings, the meat should be stewed for a longer time, stewed a little rotten, and then bring me a pot of rice wine in Guanzhong, go and do it. ”

Huangfu didn't react for a while.

Is the chat channel serialized? Why are everyone's channels completely inconsistent?

Food requires patience, and Huangfu Sisi's craft is getting more and more sophisticated, but it takes no less time.

Gu Qing waited for an hour before Huangfu Sisi brought the mutton, a small clay pot was steaming, the mutton inside was stewed to the ground, and the chopsticks poked a hole easily.

Huangfu Sisi was angry and put the clay pot on the table, and snorted fiercely at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing ignored her, at this moment, the food was in front, if she still took care of an inexplicable woman, it would be too embarrassing.

couldn't wait to take a chopstick of mutton and send it into his mouth, Gu Qing gasped, the stewed mutton melted in his mouth, and the thick soup wrapped the soft and tender meat, which instantly conquered Gu Qing's taste buds, Gu Qing's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again while eating.

"Delicious, delicious! Sisi is a good craft. ”

Huangfu Sisi sat opposite Gu Qing, holding his cheeks in one hand, a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, but he sighed resentfully: "No matter how good the craftsmanship is, after all, no one will pity you in the rivers and lakes, and you will not be happy in your life, so you can only die alone in this border city......"

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, with meat in his mouth, and said strangely: "What kind of tone is this?" Young women in literature and art? ”

Han Jie, who was standing behind him, sighed and couldn't help but remind: "Master Hou, Shopkeeper Du means that he wants to find a man to marry." ”

Huangfu Sisi was suddenly ashamed of himself.

What it means, of course it is this, but it was said by Han Jie nakedly, and it was not subtle at all, which was really embarrassing.

When Huangfu Sisi was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground, Han Jie lightly made up for it: "Specifically, the man that Shopkeeper Du wants to marry should be Hou Ye, Hou Ye chatted with her like this, but she didn't turn her face with Hou Ye, it can be seen that Du Shopkeeper is true love for Hou Ye......"

Huangfu Sisi was so ashamed that he couldn't do it, so he got up and said angrily: "Han Jie, shut up!" Who made you talk too much! ”

After Huangfu Sisi finished speaking, he covered his face and hurriedly ran into the backyard.

Although she is a businesswoman who shows her face, she is a girl who has not left the cabinet after all, and her bewitching appearance on weekdays is just her mask.

When Gu Qing saw her suddenly run away, he couldn't help but be anxious, turned his head and shouted at her back: "Hey, can't you make a few more dishes and run away in shame?" It's rude to have only one dish! ”

Huangfu Sisi ignored him at all, hurriedly ran into the backyard, closed the door after entering the house, and never came out.

Gu Qing had no choice but to turn his head and glared at Han Jie hatefully, and Han Jie looked at him innocently.

"What do you want to talk about! Does it have anything to do with you? Han Jie, you are all married to your mother-in-law, why do you have no emotional intelligence at all? Can you talk to a woman like that? Why don't you learn more from me, I am called to win people's hearts in silence, how long has it been, she is no longer married. ”

Han Jie rolled his eyes at Yangtian and sighed helplessly: "Yes, I will learn more from Hou Ye in the end." ”

The female shopkeeper fled in shame, and Gu Qing only had a small pot of mutton in front of her, but it was better than nothing.

While he was having a good meal, a person suddenly sat down across the table, an acquaintance.

Gu Qing looked up and saw that Pei Zhounan was sitting opposite him, looking at him with a calm face.

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Looking for me?" ”

Pei Zhounan nodded: "Something." ”

"You can't be trying to rub my mutton, are you?" Gu Qing narrowed his eyes and said.

“…… No. ”

"If you have something to say, if you are not in a hurry, when I finish eating, we will go to the festival house to sit down and finish talking."

Pei Zhounan saw Gu Qing eating and drinking without manners, and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Hou, there is something going on in the camp of Anxi, and Master Hou needs to take action." ”

"Recently, the wind and waves have been calm, the bandits on the trade route have been almost suppressed, the countries of the Western Regions dare not move, Qiuzi City is becoming more and more prosperous, what can happen to the Anxi camp?"

Pei Zhounan said solemnly: "After Hou Ye received the order yesterday, the soldiers of the Anxi battalion had discussions in private, and the sound of these discussions was very unpleasant. ”

Gu Qing said casually: "Pei Yushi, you officials, you have broken your mouth, and trivial things have to be written into the song for impeachment, but you don't allow others to break your mouth, you are unreasonable, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps." ”

Pei Zhounan said puzzledly: "What is the allusion that only the state officials are allowed to set fires?" ”

Gu Qing blinked, as if he had used it in the wrong place, this allusion was a matter of the Song Dynasty......

"That means you're unreasonable, the soldiers below are complaining and discussing some inconsequential things in private, and you don't even care about this?"

Pei Zhounan said: "Master Hou, what the soldiers are talking about is not inconsequential, but talking about the Son of Heaven, talking about the Chang'an court, there are many grievances in the words, the resentment in the camp is deepening, and the Son of Heaven is quite dissatisfied with the court, this wind must not be long, otherwise it is easy to cause a mutiny in the camp." ”

Gu Qing was stunned: "Is it that serious?" ”

Pei Zhounan nodded solemnly: "Yes." Hou Ye, the Anxi Army is loyal to His Majesty, loyal to the imperial army, the soldiers must not be dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven, otherwise if they are instigated by someone with a heart, there will be a mutiny, at that time, even if Hou Ye is the commander of the first army, he will not be able to suppress the mutinous Anxi Army. ”
