He was captured by thieves as he left to wander alone, and was rescued by the army of Mangkasburg before being sold into slavery.

After coming to Mang Castle, when Lu Chong brought the people of the Alchemy Academy to select people like him who had nowhere to go, he immediately told his birth experience, and was selected by Lu Chong at once, and because he was still young, he became Lu Chong's assistant and student.

After Lu Chong learned about his past, he felt the same way about the ridicule he suffered after the death of his elder who took care of him.

Before he became the master of the Alchemy Academy and the Mang Castle was developed and built, Lu Chong often recalled in the uncertain army that if his father had not died, would he not have been selected as a craftsman with the army and came to a dangerous place like Luchuan?

Because of Jiang Yu's protection, every time he survived under the blade of the Luchuan Army, he would think about this problem over and over again, that is, with the establishment of Mang Castle, he gained a higher status than when his father was still there, and then he slowly stopped worrying about this problem.

But this young man's experience completely moved Lu Chong, he often shared his treatment as an envoy to the young man, and used his surname to give this young man a Ming Dynasty name for this young man who didn't know why his parents were, Lu Jiu'an, which means that he can no longer suffer from turbulence and displacement under his own protection, and can be safe for a long time.

Since then, he has regarded himself as the eldest brother of the young Lu Jiuan, and Lu Jiuan has become his most trusted person. Compared with Jiang Yugang, who was busy with countless things in Mang Castle all day long, Lu Jiuan and Lu Chong could be said to have nothing to talk about.

And just as An Bai was about to leave to report to Jiang Yu about Lu Chong's private possession of firearms, and Lu Chong could barely move in panic, Lu Jiuan stood up, and he pulled out the small dagger that Lu Chong gave him as an ornament, cut his finger and swore an oath, telling the price at which the bird could be sold in the area of Ava and Ayutthaya.

"Lord Anbai, you can sell this bird, and one can be sold for at least ten taels of silver!" Lu Jiu'an looked calm: "I won't run away in this reckless castle, if there is a lie, I will cut myself off here, and then you can take my body to the military master to report." ”

"Ten taels!" An Bai stopped, and looked at Lu Chong's follower with wide eyes: "You kid, do you know how much ten taels are?" The military rations that the hundred households get from Meng Yangcheng every month are all converted into silver taels, which is only a thousand taels, and you now tell me that these bird guns hidden by Lu Chong are enough for two months of military rations in our Mang Ancient Castle? ”

"I know how much ten taels are, and I also know that Lord An Bai is involved with Min Wudi, the son of Meng Yangzhaofa of Ava-" Lu Jiu'an was interrupted by An Bai as soon as he was halfway through speaking.

"You don't need to say this, after I pulled the level of Min Invincible, the hundred households rewarded me with a grand prize, this matter was told to you by Lu Chong, he really has nothing to say about you." An Bai was impatient: "Say it's useful!" ”

Lu Jiu'an was unhurried and continued: "It's true that I learned about this from Lu Chongyuan's envoy, but after all, I am a Awa person, and I also know another identity of Min Wushu - he controls Ava's army in the southeast of Mengyang. ”

"I heard that there are a lot of people under him, but they don't have the courage to do anything in front of us and the Luchuan army." An Bai nodded: "And then?" ”

"I have seen Min Wushu a few times, he went to the workshop to buy firearms, this person is addicted to military force, he is very concerned about firearms, he is willing to pay more than three taels of silver to buy better quality guns, if it is our guns, more than five taels is no problem," Lu Jiuan introduced: "And the power of the bird guns is far better than the guns, the price of ten taels is less, if the quantity is less at a time, even if it is thirty taels of silver, I am sure that he will buy it." ”

"That's right, but how do you know the actual transaction price of these firearms?" An Bai was a little skeptical when he heard this, this Min Wushu was indeed a martial and warlike person, and he was the main source of the current court's trade achievements.

"I grew up in a big workshop in Ava City, and I know most about the trades in firearms." Lu Jiuan replied.

"If you say yes, I'll believe it?" An Bai was already a little shaken, he looked at the few bird guns that Lu Chong brought, they were indeed exactly the same as the bird guns that were actually rationed to the army, if there were really so many as he said, the benefits in this were great.

Lu Chong also stabilized his emotions at this time and stood up: "Brother Anbai, you can deceive people when you speak, but the kung fu in your hands is real, this child's level is a little worse than that of the old craftsman, but it can be seen that there are many years of accumulation, and it can never be fake." ”

"Lu Chong, you're dragging me into the water." An Bai glanced at Lu Chong fiercely.

Since becoming the envoy of this court, An Bai has handled the unimaginable silver and property of a small soldier in the past, and he never imagined that Lu Chong, Zhang Dake, and Xu Annian, these craftsmen, could get so much money by fiddling with some copper and iron every day.

Not to mention that since forming a hunting party, he has benefited from the abundant hunting and herbs and exotic plants in the mountains.

It was only at this time that An Bai understood why Jiang Yugang wanted to provide such generous treatment to the craftsmen, and he was extremely eager to organize the mountain people in Manggu Mountain under his command, which were all real benefits.

And when handing over the money to Jiang Yugang, no amount of reverence, trust, fear, and self-comfort could completely suppress the greed in his heart and the dissatisfaction that arose from it.

He knew that Jiang Yugang had made himself the so-called Yuan Court Envoy to do these things out of how much he trusted him, and he also knew that the status of this court envoy was not easy to come by, and he was even more afraid of Jiang Yu's methods, but there were still some negative emotions lingering, as if Jiang Yu had deceived himself, Lu Chong and others, and took all the benefits alone.

In the final analysis, this is an unrighteous thing, since a hundred households can do unrighteous things, then they can also do it themselves, and they are more qualified to do it.

There are a large number of goods, and the Secret Institute is not able to find out one by one, and he has begun to do some tricks and tricks secretly, and has obtained a very small profit from it.

Every time he succeeded in making a profit, he was scared to sweat, and he didn't dare to mention it to anyone, although probably no one would find out. Whether it was someone from the Secret Academy or his subordinates, in his opinion, it was possible that he was the whistleblower who exposed his affairs to Jiang Yugang.

He often comforted himself that the gains from this were what his brothers deserved, and that in addition to himself, Lu Chong and Zhang Dake would also feel unfair if they knew that their production could be exchanged for so much silver taels.

What An Bai didn't expect was that Lu Chong actually came to the door and took the initiative to ask for the benefit of using the bird gun.

For the first time, he even thought that this was the bait set up by Jiang Yugang when he found out about himself - the bird gun is one of the most precious things in Mang Castle, and soldiers are not even allowed to take it out casually, Lu Chong actually dared to use it for him to sell, which is simply crazy.

But when he saw Lu Chong's younger brother cut his finger and swear, he calmed down and realized that Lu Chong was real, this guy really hid more than a hundred bird guns and wanted to sell them.

Although Lu Chong's behavior had already broken An Bai's mental defense to a certain extent, letting him know that in addition to himself, there were other brothers who wanted to use the property of Mang Castle to gain some benefits, which provided a lot of rationality for his behavior.

From An Bai's point of view, he didn't care where Lu Chong's manpower and raw materials came from, he only knew that these bird guns were all made by Lu Chong, and Lu Chong deserved more benefits, instead of handing over all the trade proceeds and then redistributing them.

But after all, this bird gun is too important, and the amount that Lu Chong has hidden is too large, using these things for personal gain, which makes An Bai feel an irresistible fear, and he just wants to get out of this matter as soon as possible.

But Lu Jiu'an's words made him completely shaken again, because Jiang Yuyan set firearm technology as top secret, so he had never traded firearms, and he never thought that he could get such a big benefit from it.

If he can get a part of it, he can completely win over his subordinates and form a line of grasshoppers with him, and no longer have to worry about someone betraying him day and night; It is even possible to buy more people from other departments to cover up their own behavior, and one day even if the hundred households find out and want to deal with themselves, they may have the ability to protect themselves, or even deal with the hundred households.

The more An Bai thought about it, his eyes gradually turned red, and the long-term inner entanglement since he was in charge of the affairs of the Yuan Court, the long-term torment of greed and fear, and the resentment that arose from it, broke out at this time, and he had completely fallen into the benefits that he could get from these birds.

This is a batch of goods that no one knows, and even evaded the scrutiny of the Secret Academy, although the quantity is large, but in terms of safety, it is more secret than the goods handed over to them by other production departments, and as for the profits, it is even higher than unimaginable.

Min Wuving's side, after not saying that he explained it clearly to him, it is estimated that he would not act rashly; Even if he wants to show off this batch of birds, he doesn't know what year and month it will be, and now Luchuan Mengyang is the battlefield between Daming and Luchuan, and he doesn't dare to jump in front of Luchuan and Daming if he gives him a hundred dares.

When Baihu defeats the Luchuan army, and this Luchuan returns to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Min Wushu will have no reason to use these bird guns in Mengyang - it will not touch the mold of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is used, it will be used in other places, and it will not let the Baihu find out.

Thinking of this, An Bai only felt that his throat was dry, as if he had been roasted by fire, but he still couldn't help but speak: "Lu Chong, you have to ensure that this matter will not be discovered." ”

"Although Baihu can design firearms, they don't know how to actually make them, and the uncles and nephews of the Xu family are only responsible for smelting, regardless of firearms production," Lu Chong said here, and his voice was a little more confident: "Many other people who disobeyed me went to the Creation Institute and followed Zhang Dake, and they didn't know the production of firearms. ”

"That..." An Bai took a deep breath, compared with Lu Chong, he had seen Jiang Yugang's deeper side, knew that this person had an impersonal and terrifying background, and understood the consequences of his actions: "I will agree." ”

"Brother An Bai, I have long heard that you are acting enthusiastically and righteously, and when I saw it today, I knew that it was not a lie," Lu Chong bowed deeply and handed An Bai a brand-new bird gun: "This bird gun is used as a token, the next time you come to the Alchemy Academy to buy goods, I will arrange for all my relatives and henchmen to be responsible for the whole process, and secretly transport the first batch of bird guns first." ”

An Bai nodded, he wanted to raise his hand and pat Lu Chong's shoulder, to show that the two were now on the same line, but he found that his arm was numb, and finally he only said: "Okay." ”

He constantly comforted himself in his heart, the bird gun was made by Lu Chong, he was right to do these things, it was the hundred households that were wrong, and the current Mang Castle had developed to the scale of thousands of people, but it did not give enough benefits to the brothers who had made great efforts from the beginning.

"Be careful." Lu Chong saluted again, lifted the curtain and left. Lu Jiuan also saluted, his fingers were still dripping blood, but there was no pain of injury on his face, only relief and relief.
