The living room was full of guests and friends, Chen He, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Lao Taoist, Ling Zhen, Fan Er, Li Yanei and other people had already arrived, Li Yan came later, so I didn't see the appearance of the heroes of Liangshan when they reunited, but when they saw their hot chat, they knew that the relationship should be good, and their hearts were also down-to-earth.

No matter what era you are, if you want to do great things, the first condition is to gather talents.

Li Yan knows this truth best, not to mention that he likes to make friends by nature, so it is naturally a matter of course.

Although everyone had different identities, they still got up to greet each other when they saw Li Yan come in, and after greeting each other for a while, Chen He ordered someone to set up a long table in the living room.

The chatter during the banquet was all about the chivalrous deeds of fighting grievances, promoting good and eliminating evil, Li Yan listened to it fascinated, although it was not much different from what was written in the Water Margin, but this was another feeling.

The feeling of being authentic.

Chivalrous things are pure enough when they come out of the mouths of chivalrous people.

Li Yan recalled the martial arts in his previous life, and suddenly understood why there was no martial arts after Jin Yong and Gu Long, not because the writing was not good, but because those people did not have rivers and lakes in their hearts, how could an author who did not know what the rivers and lakes were possible to write the essence of martial arts.

Everyone drank until late at night, Li Yan laughed, raised his glass and said: "After drinking the wine in the cup, the elder brothers will go to the study with the younger brother, and the younger brother will show the younger brothers a rare thing." ”

Li Yan took advantage of this time to pour gunpowder into the bamboo tube, plug the fuse, fill the "cannonball", and after completing the preparations, he said to everyone: "Brothers, come here." ”

When everyone heard this, Ling Zhen became interested when he saw the powder keg, and knew that it must be related to gunpowder, so he couldn't help but squeeze to the front and watch intently.

Li Yan smiled: "This is what I did in the afternoon, the time is tight, and the workmanship is rougher, but it does not hinder the use." What I need to do now is to use the pressure of gunpowder to push out the peanuts in the bamboo tube and penetrate the rice paper. ”

Everyone looked at Li Yan's fingers, only to find that the word Cai Jing was written on the paper, and they couldn't help laughing out loud, Wu Song straightened his intestines, and said unceremoniously:

"Brother Li's heart is not clear, and he actually does such a childish thing. Since we hate the old thief Cai Jing so much, then let's plan well and find an opportunity to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion at night and kill the old thief, wouldn't it be happier than this? ”

After saying that, he laughed, but as soon as he laughed twice, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere was wrong, except for Lu Zhishen who laughed with him, the rest of the people had serious faces, and they had to shut their mouths in embarrassment.

How could Chen He, the old Taoist, Fan Er, and Li Yanei laugh, firstly, they did not dare, and secondly, they did not agree with Wu Song's words.

Although Li Yan is young, his mind is absolutely mature, and he doesn't dare to say that he surpasses the old Taoist priest, which is not much worse, so they don't dare to underestimate Li Yan.

And Ling Zhen responded to that sentence: the expert looks at the doorway.

Others don't understand, but Ling Zhen understands what gunpowder pressure is, and after just a little observation, he already knows what Li Yan is going to do.

But there is no shock and novelty, because this kind of tubular firearm has existed before, called assault musket, the material is exactly the same, it is also based on bamboo joints, filled with gunpowder and projectiles, and the armor can be pierced within fifteen zhang, and the distance can reach forty zhang.

The reason why he didn't laugh was because of his reverence for gunpowder, just like the reverence that a Taoist priest had for Laojun, a monk for the Buddha, and a scholar for a saint.

And Li Yan didn't know that there were already assault rifles in this era, and he thought that Ling Zhen would be ecstatic, but he didn't expect a mediocre reaction, so he only frowned and didn't say a word.

He had doubts, but he didn't rush to ask, and took out the rope to tie the bamboo tube to the inkstone.

Ling Zhen was puzzled: "Why doesn't Master Li hold it in his hand?" ”

"Huh?"

Li Yan didn't startle Ling Zhen, but he was shocked by Ling Zhen, and suddenly thought, isn't it a gun in his hand?

"No, Brother Ling. If you blow it up, you'll hurt your fingers. ”

Ling Zhen smiled slightly, picked up the bamboo tube and said, "It's okay, the amount of gunpowder that Lord Li poured into can't break the tough bamboo tube, and Ling can predict that the peanuts in the tube will break through the rice paper and then fly out two feet away." ”

When he said these words, Ling Zhen's eyes were full of confidence.

Li Yan secretly admired, just by looking at the weight of gunpowder, he could know how far he was hit, and he was indeed a professional.

It's just that...... Seeing the burns on Ling Zhen's hands, he couldn't help but swallow and saliva, this scar showed that he also missed his hand......

"Brother Li, just do it." Ling Zhen said.

Since this is the case, Li Yan can't say anything more, after taking out the fire sickle and lighting the fuse, he immediately turned his back, covered his face with both hands, and said in his heart: As long as your face is fine, you can blow it up wherever you like.

Bang......

Everyone exclaimed, because they saw a fire snake coming out of the bamboo tube, and then the rice paper broke in response, as for how the peanuts were shot, only masters like Wu Song and Lu Zhishen could catch it.

The old Taoist priest took six steps, looked down, and exclaimed, "There really is, or two!" ”

At this time, Li Yan expressed the doubts in his heart, "Did Brother Ling do this a long time ago?" ”

Ling Zhen was slightly stunned, and said: "If this thing is enlarged a little more, it is the assault rifle, which was available ten years ago, but few people know about it, Master Li is really knowledgeable." ”

"Oh...... It turns out that there are guns in this era, so has Brother Ling ever thought of using this method to shoot wind cannons? ”

Ling Zhen laughed and said, "This is impossible, the assault rifle is already the limit of bamboo, if you want to hit the wind cannon, you must fill it with more gunpowder, that will explode." ”

"Don't use bamboo, use iron pipes."

"Iron?" Ling Zhen smiled bitterly, "Then you still need to build an iron-smelting workshop, Ling doesn't know how to smelt iron." ”

Fan Er was busy: "We have an iron-smelting workshop." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ling Zhen fell silent, and at this time, he suddenly had a feeling of entering a thief's den, could it be that these people wanted to rebel again?

He has already followed Liang Shan once, and in the end nothing has changed, and he has wasted a few years in vain, so it is inevitable that there will be rejection.

Li Yan guessed Ling Zhen's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Where does Brother Ling want to go, Li Mou made firearms not to rebel, but to deal with rebels." ”

"Oh? Someone wants to rebel again? Ling Zhen was taken aback.

Li Yan nodded and glanced at the piece of paper with Cai Jing's name written on it.

"In this case, Ling is willing to make a modest contribution."

"Brother Ling understands righteousness, very good, very good. But your brothers must not leak this matter, then Cai Jing's old thief has eyes and ears, if he smells the wind, I am afraid that he will take precautions in advance, and then if you want to kill him, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky. Li Yanyi said righteously.
