The last quarter moon hangs high on the branches, and the night owl chirps like a baby's cry.

Chen Mu stayed up all night, discussing big things with the cripple and Zhang Han.

The lame man believes that the method mentioned by Tang Xiong is feasible.

Chen Mu said to the cripple, there is a lack of the most basic trust between me and Tang Xiong.

The cripple nodded.

Chen Mu said again: "If this matter is true, I don't want Zhang Yunlong to help me." I want to unify the sixteen small countries of the Western Regions by myself. But not now. Because I lack hard power. It is simply a fool's dream to complete the reunification of the Western Regions with only two recruit brigades. In addition, Tang Qiong will not agree, so even if Tang Ning and the Queen Mother help me, I may not succeed. The Queen Mother was a little whimsical. But this incident gave me an idea. ”

The lame man said: "Perhaps, before Zhang Yunlong was arranged to Hexi, Empress Dowager Chen already had this plan. ”

Zhang Han said: "If that's the case, why did she send someone to assassinate Chen Mu?" ”

The cripple said, "Pretend to show others." ”

Zhang Han shook his head in disagreement and didn't speak.

Chen Mu said: "The reason why I rejected Tang Xiong was because I suspected that the two masters of their Tang clan would partner to test me. I don't know if there will be other temptations next, but we should try to get in touch with the Queen Mother. Determine whether this is true or false. ”

The lame man said: "Li Shunchang, the supervisor of Shangshan." ”

"Yes, that's what I'm thinking of." Chen Mu pinched his fingers: "We can't let the people of the Tang Clan know about our contact with the Queen Mother." ”

There are many choices in front of Chen Mu, and only a very few people know about these things, and Hanxiang is of course one of them.

Hanxiang pinched a handful of sweat for Chen Mu, and always felt that Chen Mu was walking on the edge of the cliff, and it seemed that he was playing with fire, and he didn't know when he would be burned.

In the face of so many things, normal people will feel pressure, but Chen Mu, a strange person, seems to be born without knowing what sorrow is.

The next day, he got up a little late, but after getting up, he took Zhong Lixiang and the guards out with him.

Because there was a problem in the crushing workshop of the paper mill, I heard that the saw blade could not be used at all, and it was impossible to complete large-scale production.

Chen Mu rode to the northeast of the city, there were 30 cavalry in front of the road, 30 cavalry in the back, and 40 cavalry led by Zhang Han in the middle surrounded the carriage for three layers.

Chen Mu sat in an iron car and played with Zhong Lixiang in the car. Turn the flower rope.

Zhong Lixiang was pretentious and said that she was a master of turning flower ropes, but later Chen Mu turned out a "fishing net", and she was completely out of luck.

Chen Mu laughed.

Seeing Chen Mu laughing, Zhong Lixiang bit his lip: "Sometimes you look like an old man, sometimes you look like a child." ”

Chen Mu waved his hand: "When a person loses his innocence, he will feel bored. ”

When he came to the paper mill, the paper captain had already stood at the door and lined up to greet him, Chen Mu strode towards the pulverizer, and couldn't help frowning when he saw the broken saw blade.

The gear accelerator invented by Chen Mu can drive the saw blade to rotate rapidly, but at the same time, it is equivalent to increasing the force arm, and reducing the torque, thus reducing the cutting force.

The saw blade is too wide to cut the wood, and the saw blade is too narrow and often breaks because the metal is easy to get tired.

"It doesn't seem to work." Chen Mu rubbed his chin.

Since this method didn't work, Chen Mu turned his mind back to the old way.

"Turn the accelerator in reverse and turn it into a reducer." Chen Muyi smiled and said: "Make two reducers, drive two rollers, insert the branches through the gap between the two rollers, and see if you can crush and flatten them." If the coarse branches can be dispersed, the gear shredder can be used for secondary processing. After two procedures, the fines will be obtained. ”

It takes a while from the appearance of an idea to the entry into the experimental stage, and there are no drawings at this time, and the sappers cannot fully understand what Chen Mu said.

Chen Mu stayed in the paper mill for half a day, drew a few drawings, asked the sappers to do the same, and said that they would come back for inspection in a few days.

As soon as she returned to the study, Xiaohuan greeted her happily, and today she seemed particularly courteous.

Later, I learned that the approval documents of the Ministry of War had arrived, and the issue of her and Hanxiang's military status had finally been resolved, and now they were naturalized in the 16th Division of Shence and became the secretary of the division. And there is not a word about the fact that the 16th Division is less than 800 people.

In this regard, Xiaohuan said vigorously, it is really rich to make the ghost grind.

Since then, Xiaohuan has gotten rid of slavery and has a military salary, which is really a great joy for her.

For this reason, she also said that she would have a celebration in the evening. This time, she didn't ask Chen Mu for money, saying that she would use her own money to treat her.

I heard that Xiaohuan is going to have a treat, and this is really the sun coming out in the west.

Chen Mu was worried that Xiaohuan's money was not enough and he was shabby, so he threw two taels of silver to Xiaohuan, and the maid looked a little moved.

In order to provide Chen Mu with the safest food, Xiaohuan raised chickens at home and planted leeks, woad cabbage, cabbage, camellia and so on.

The yard is not very large, and she keeps it neatly and tidy.

Usually Li Shi stays at home, watering these vegetables and picking insects.

Today, Xiaohuan went home early, boiled water, killed chickens, and marinated meat.

Hearing that Xiaohuan successfully joined the army and was going to treat him today, Li Shi took out 200 yuan and said that he wanted to follow a part and make Xiaohuan happy. A nine-year-old child actually learns from an adult, and the shot is 200, you are really generous. Li Shi said that he learned from the master.

"Sister Huan, there was a letter from the post station, saying it was yours." The doorman brought in the letter, along with a package.

Xiaohuan took it and saw that the package was the one he mailed away, and it was not opened.

Suddenly felt bad, opened the letter and saw that it was not a reply from his friend Xiaoyu, but a ghostwriter from a bustard, and the letter said that Xiaoyu was dead.

Seeing the letter, Xiaohuan howled and cried, crying heartbreakingly, scaring Li Shi so much that he didn't dare to enter the house.

Xiaohuan was crying too uncomfortably, and she was already convulsive, Li Shi ran to tell the door soldier, and the door soldier ran to the front yard to report Hanxiang, and Hanxiang told Chen Mu.

Chen Mu didn't know what was going on, and hurried home.

Seeing Xiaohuan fall to the ground and convulse, the captain of the doorman was squatting on the ground, pinching Xiaohuan and priing her teeth with a wooden stick to prevent her from biting off her tongue.

Chen Mu walked over, grabbed Xiaohuan's cheeks, pinched his chin and broke it downward, and then pushed his tongue back.

"What's going on?"

"Sister Xiaohuan received a letter, and after seeing the letter, she cried profusely, and she didn't listen to any persuasion, and she couldn't stop crying."

Chen Mu looked around, saw the letter fell to the ground, picked it up and took a look, the letter said, Xiaoyu was infected with willows, was expelled by Wanhualou, she spent all her savings to buy fairy water, the disease has been cured, in order to make a living, to stand on the street, as a result, because of robbing other people's business, often beaten and scolded by peers, and then someone hired a murderer to kidnap and drown in the ditch.

Seeing the letter, Chen Mu was angry from his heart, but he said in a flat tone: "Call Zhang Youtian." ”

The first is the latest.
