Although Li Yan was very uncomfortable, but it also made him feel the crisis, when a person holds power, he will be separated from everyone from then on, this detachment is not transferred by your will, but an inevitable phenomenon, which is also the culture that the Han nation has been inheriting.

When you are high up and control their power of life and death, glory and wealth, they will inevitably flatter you, and very few dare to speak out, and in the long run, you will become a lonely person like Zhao Ji, and even the Emperor Jin Hui who can say "why not eat minced meat".

Li Yan didn't want to be this kind of person, so he needed to change, but at the same time, he had an idea that he should install more such people around Zhao Ji, only he and the old Taoist priest were still weak, and this matter needed to be pondered.

After a while, the two turned over and dismounted, and someone took the reins and led them back to the stable, and now that they had arrived at the house, the task of the master was over, so they said hello and went back to their yard.

Li Yan called the family and asked him to go to the Taoist temple, called the old Taoist priest, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen, came to the banquet in the evening, and notified the stove to prepare more dishes, and after arranging all the necessary matters, he walked towards the study.

There is a small bamboo forest in the courtyard of the study, which is growing just right now, and it looks green and beautiful from a distance.

But Li Yan did not come to enjoy the beautiful scenery, he walked back and forth in the bamboo forest a few times, selected a bamboo that did not grow very well, took out a dagger from his sleeve, cut it from the root, and cut it into nine sections.

Li Yan picked up one of the sections, blew hard into it from the end of the opening, felt the tail sealed tightly, and then nodded with satisfaction, and entered the study with nine sections of bamboo.

Sitting on the desk, Li Yan poked his hands, slightly excited, this is the first time he has tried to make a cannon, although he has seen similar small videos on the Internet in his previous life, and he knows the basic process, but when he really starts to do it, he can't help but be a little flustered.

He first made a small hole in the tail of the bamboo, which was a simple task that took more than half an hour, because there was no suitable punching tool, so he could only use a relatively thick needle to slowly pierce it.

After the small hole was made, he poured gunpowder into the bamboo joint, and since it was the first attempt, Li Yan did not pour too much, only a little.

Then he found cotton and a small wooden stick, stuffed the cotton into the bamboo joint, and stabbed it tightly with the stick, the purpose of which was to have a sealing effect, which was necessary for the explosion of gunpowder to produce thrust.

After doing this, it is the fuse, which is called "twist" in the Northeast.

Li Yan patted his head, he actually forgot to ask Ling Zhen for a twist, meditated with his head for a while, and finally thought of a substitute.

Take out the cotton rope from the drawer, then walk to the lamp stand, soak the cotton rope in the lamp oil, follow the hole in the bamboo knot, stuff the cotton rope in, and a simple "cannon" is done.

How can you do it without firing a cannon after the cannon is finished, Li Yan took off the brush on the pen holder, hung a piece of rice paper on it, aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the rice paper, and just lit the fire, he suddenly remembered something.

With a bad smile, he picked up a brush and wrote the word Cai Jing on rice paper, and then took out the fire sickle with satisfaction.

Li Yan didn't have confidence in himself, so he left a long fuse, Rao was like this, after lighting the fire, he still ran out far away to dodge, he didn't want to be disfigured.

Bang......

The bamboo tube burst out of an open flame, and then it flew out, flipped in the air several times, and then fell to the ground, and the study was suddenly filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Li Yan was stunned for five minutes before he slowly walked over, touched the intact "Cai Jing", and muttered, "Where is the problem?" ”

He knows the reason why the bamboo tube flies upside down, it is caused by recoil, and the bamboo tube should be fixed in advance, so this situation will not occur, so why is "Cai Jing" fine?

Could it be that the shells flew off?

Cannonball?

Li Yan almost cried stupidly to himself, remembering that after blocking the cotton, he didn't put any shells in it......

It's stupid!

"In terms of success or failure, life is heroic, it's a big deal to start all over again!"

Li Yan comforted himself with a famous saying, so he picked up the bamboo tube on the ground, checked it, and continued to use it.

Pour in the gunpowder, stuff it with cotton, make a fuze, and tie the bamboo tube to the inkstone with a rope, then pick up a peanut and put it into the bamboo tube, and take out the fire sickle......

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open, Li Bei'er walked in slowly, and when she entered the house, she immediately frowned, took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and asked: "Xianggong, what kind of smell is this?" ”

"Go and stand in the corner, my husband will show you something good." Li Yan said with a smile.

Li Bei'er obediently said "oh" and obediently did so.

Bang......

Li Bei'er was not prepared at all, she was frightened by this sudden loud noise, screamed, and hugged Li Yan tightly.

"It's okay, go check it out."

Li Yan comforted, took Li Bei'er's hand and walked to the desk, far away he knew that this time was successful, because "Cai Jing" had a hole in his body that was not big or small.

"Cai Jing is dead this time!" Li Yan swore solemnly,

Li Bei'er looked at the rice paper with Cai Jing's name written on it, and said with concern: "Is Xianggong angry in the court?" ”

"No, why do you say that?"

"The slave family heard that the name of the enemy is written on the doll, and then the doll is pricked with a needle, so that the life of the enemy can be damaged, does the minister want to do the same, the slave family can help you make a doll." Li Bei'er said seriously.

"This ...... Actually, I didn't have this idea, I just wanted to try the cannon. Li Yanzou frowned and said, "Why can I hear the resentment from your tone, has there been anything unpleasant recently?" Or did someone mess with you? You don't want to deal with others, you can tell Xianggong, and Xianggong will help you seek justice. ”

"No, nothing." Li Bei'er forced a smile and smiled.

How could Li Yan not notice her abnormality, but since she insisted on not saying it, there must be something unspeakable, and this situation still needs to be investigated first, and then slowly infiltrate after having eyebrows, this is what a warm man should do.

"Don't underestimate this thing, as soon as this thing comes out, the world will be in my hands." Li Yan showed off with a bamboo tube.

Unexpectedly, Li Bei'er was not interested in this, but complained: "Is the girl of the Cai family also included?" ”

Li Yan hissed, pretended to have a toothache, covered his cheeks and said, "Oh, why is it so sour all of a sudden, my teeth are sore." ”

"Bad guys."

Li Bei'er snorted, turned her head and picked up the bamboo scraps and paper scraps on the table, but the moment she turned her back, her smile suddenly froze, and no one could understand this indescribable mood except herself, even the empathetic Li Yan, didn't she understand.

"I'm going to entertain guests at night, all of them are rough men, so don't get involved, eat with Jiuniang, Shishi, and Huanxi." With that, Li Yan left the study and walked towards the living room.
