Chapter 414: Curiosity Kills Cats
Luoyu Mansion, Chenglin County
"What do you mean, my lord?"
Looking at the letter handed over by Gao De, Tang Yun fell into deep puzzlement.
Gao De shook his head, "My family said that I should give this letter to my lord, as for what is written in the letter, I don't know anything about it. ”
Hearing Gao De's words, Tang Yun's brows furrowed even deeper.
"It's not...... What do you mean by asking me to pick up a batch of supplies for him and then send them to him? Can't he just have someone send him to him? Although the fourth child is blocked on his inevitable path, but the fourth child has never deliberately stuck his things until now, some time ago, you Yulin County sold grain, didn't you go directly from Qiyuan County? ”
Although Tang Yun's words were questions, they were more like talking to himself, and Gao De on the side just nodded and didn't say anything.
"Perhaps, my family has other intentions. He also said that after you get the things, gather a thousand people, prepare all kinds of tools, and wait for him here. ”
"Wait for him?" Tang Yun instantly grasped the meaning of Gao De's words, "You mean that your family will come in a few days?" ”
Gao De nodded, "Indeed, my family has been tinkering with the new industry in our county recently, and it is estimated that he will come when he finishes it." ”
"New industry? What new industry? ”
Tang Yun came to the spirit in an instant, this is a new industry that can make Tang Jin interested, can it be simple? If you can find out a thing or two, and use it for your own development, you don't want to catch up with Tang Jin, and it would be good to surpass others.
"This ...... I don't know. But it seems to have something to do with herbs, because my family has been organizing people to pick grass, dry grass, roast grass, and finally make hay into silk. Then he put it in a strange little pot and lit it and sucked it in his mouth, which looked like a cure. ”
Halfway through hearing this, Tang Yun's face was full of confusion. He shook his head self-deprecatingly and put away his thoughts. How could that guy's brain be able to keep up with it on its own? I also want to be blind.
"Okay, I'll do it. Anything else? Tang Yun said as he stuffed the letter paper in his hand back into the envelope.
And the adults commanded the little ones. That is, when it is done, the small one will take his leave first. Gao De immediately bowed.
Tang Yun waved his hand and didn't have too much politeness. If it were Qin Hai and Fang Xiaoer, he would have to keep them for a meal, after all, they were Tang Jin's cronies, but the little catcher in front of him obviously didn't have this qualification.
After sending Gao De away, Tang Yun threw himself into the complicated work day after day. His county didn't have any neighborhood committees like Tang Jin, and he naturally had to take care of all the trivial things, although it wouldn't be promoted to the church with great fanfare, but how could he break it up?
Three days later, Tang Jin's so-called materials were personally sent to the county government by Tianlu Commercial Bank. Tang Yun also performed
Pay full attention to it, personally lead people to receive the goods, and place the weight in the county treasury.
However, looking at the boxes of so-called "materials" neatly stacked in front of him, Tang Yun's heart was like a cat scratching. Let Tang Jin deliberately ask for things that are carefully stored, and even use them in person, what kind of good thing does this have to be?
"Anyway, that guy didn't say he couldn't open it and take a look, I should be fine, right?"
Saying this, Tang Yun had already quietly lifted the lid. In the eye, there are red cylinders the thickness of children's arms, sealed at one end, and a gray lead sticking out from the other.
"This ...... Artillery battles? "I didn't let it go, but I saw it. Except for the difference in size, there is no difference between this thing in front of me and the artillery battle set off during the New Year's holiday.
"What this guy solemnly asked me to help keep is a bunch of cannonballs?"
Tang Yun inexplicably felt that he had been tricked, and he was careful and careful, and even pulled out the team of the county government to escort the tax silver, and even emptied the people of the entire main street. I thought I was receiving something amazing, but it turned out to be a box of cannons?
"That's not right...... Could it be that there is some mystery in this artillery battle? ”
Tang Yun thought like this, and gently took out a cannonball. Sniffed, tossed upside down, and finally opened the seal a little and looked at it, and finally he was sure...... This is the artillery battle!
"Play with me!" Tang Yun was so lucky that he didn't throw the artillery in his hand directly. But at the last moment, the only remaining suspicion stopped him, he didn't believe that such a box of artillery could make Tang Jin so cautious.
"In that case, there's only one last way!" Tang Yun's eyes were fierce, and he covered the box and walked out.
"Kiko-chan? Kiko Ko? ”
"The minions are here!"
The little eunuch who accompanied Tang Yun hurriedly ran over from the backyard. Tang Yun threw the cannon in his hand into his arms.
"Go, find someone, give me this."
Xiao Xizi looked at the cannon in her arms and was stunned for a while.
"Your Highness, what kind of artillery battle is there today?"
"You care about me, don't you want to hear it?" Of course, Tang Yun would not admit that this was the thing that he personally escorted back in the morning.
"Come on, the minion is going."
When your master decides to do something, no matter how outrageous it is, it must become a serious thing for you. Obviously, Xiao Xizi, who can mix with the prince's personal eunuch, understands the meaning of this sentence very well.
After a while, Xiao Xizi called the courtyard one by one, and after telling him Tang Yun's request, although the courtyard was puzzled, he still took the cannon and walked obediently to the back garden.
Tang Yun stood in a pavilion, looking at it from a distance across a pond, and his intuition told it that this cannon battle was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
"Sir, don't stand like that
Far away, although this artillery battle is big, it is just a sound, and it doesn't hurt to blow up. The nurse smiled and said.
Tang Yun nodded, but did not have the slightest intention of approaching. The nursing home didn't say much, just when the leather sedan chair of these rich and noble families was tender, and they were afraid of being fried, they would be different from each other with rough skin and thick meat, so they were not afraid at all.
Thinking like this, he lit the fuse casually, and after a symbolic run of two steps, he stood there with a confident face, telling Tang Yun with his actions that there was nothing to be afraid of in this cannon battle.
Rumble!
However, a huge fireball accompanied by an earth-shattering sound instantly swept it away, and the stones that exploded were like bullets, easily piercing its strong body.
With the light of the fire dissipating, the smoke gradually disappeared, and the almost shattered body of the courtyard was revealed.
At this time, Tang Yun flew back as early as the moment the explosion sounded, and at the same time, the folding fan in his hand waved again and again, and the true qi in his body poured out without reservation, sending all the stones and soil flying towards him.
Even so, there are always a few that slip through the net. A few tiny stones went straight through his line of defense, nailing them into his arms.
"Shhh
Standing firm, Tang Yun couldn't help but gasp, and his right hand connected the wound to temporarily stop the bleeding.
"Oh my God! Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright? ”
Xiao Xizi on the side escaped by luck because he went to help Tang Yun prepare fruits and tea. As a result, as soon as he came back, he saw that his Royal Highness was seriously injured, and Xiao Xizi panicked on the spot, could it be that someone assassinated His Highness!
"I'm fine! Leave me alone! Hurry up and get the vault empty, leaving nothing but the things I brought back personally. Also, send me someone to guard the contents of the vault in shifts, and make sure there is no spark within twenty meters of the vault! Violators will be killed! Hear no! ”
"Yes!"
Although he didn't understand what His Royal Highness was ordering for, Xiao Xizi didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly went to Zhang Luo.
Tang Yun sat directly on the ground, looking at the corpse not far away and the big pit on the ground with palpitations.
"Damn, I know that there is no simple thing in that thing, this fucking is a cannon battle, this is the ancestor of the artillery battle!" Suddenly, Tang Yun somewhat understood the reason why Tang Jin put this thing on his own, who would dare to put such a dangerous thing in his own house? In addition, the weather has been dry recently, so if you accidentally catch fire...... I'm afraid that the entire county government will have to be blown up to the sky!
"No, I have to personally supervise this matter, and if I can't get Lao Tzu's life right, I will confess!" Tang Yun sat up strongly, and the true qi in his body shook out the stones stuck in the muscles, and sealed the acupoints again, Tang Yun supported his injured body and slowly walked to the front yard. This kind of damn thing really has to be watched by yourself to make sure that it is stable.
