The secret passage of the fine gate can lead to the Dragon Bird Valley, but now that Luo Min, Qin Zhiwei and the others are in the Dragon Bird Valley, they cannot go to the Dragon Bird Valley through this secret passage without a bird to ride.

After arriving at the fine gate, the guy from the fine gate said to Mingxiao that he would destroy the Xu Mansion without handing over the Pingjing book, and sneered.

Xu Xiang didn't get to see Qin Zhiwei, although that guy swore that Xiao didn't dare to do that, but Xu Xiang was still a little uneasy.

He decided to go to the Zhongshan Palace, and as he expected, he couldn't enter the palace at all.

After several tosses, he found almost nothing, and in desperation, he could only return to Xufu.

As soon as he got home, he saw Lin Fu hanging in a tea shed across the door from his house drinking tea, thinking that Lin Chong patted his chest and told himself that he was sure to protect the thoughtfulness of Xu Mansion, he only regarded Lin Chong as a kind word, but he didn't expect him to really send Lin Fu to hang over.

So he walked to the tea shed and arched his hand towards Lin Fuhang, "Brother Lin, why don't you go to the mansion to drink tea?" ”

"Xu Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, I'm here." Lin Fuhang had no intention of entering the Xu Mansion at all, and it seemed that he still remembered the threat to Luo Min before.

Xu Xiang had no choice but to express his gratitude and return home.

As soon as he entered the house, Xu Xiang said to Xu Cheng: "Xu Cheng, when I was in Linzi last time, you still remember the materials you prepared to make muskets, right?" ”

"Young Master, do you want to make a musket?" Xu Yi asked.

Xu Xiang knew that he wanted to develop obscenely, but people didn't let him at all! Even in the face of the killer of the Nine Shadows Palace, he couldn't do anything, Lin Fuhang was injured, Zhai Ling'er was also injured and poisoned because of his shot, but fortunately, Xiao Xueying made a move, and he saved his life.

The warriors of this world are stronger than you, and they will not reason with you, let alone those killers who hide in the shadows.

Whether it is on the open side or in the dark, it has given itself a very big threat.

Relying on the help of others and the favor of luck is not a long-term solution after all. He had to have something to protect himself, and the only thing that could protect him was his understanding of firearms, and although iron smelting had not yet been invented, he couldn't wait for that time now.

"You are not familiar with Ningdu, I will let Uncle Liu take you later, and you will go and buy all the things back." Xu Xiang said, and then after arranging the matter, he didn't even say hello to Jiang Shenyu, and went into the study.

He took a pencil made of charcoal and began to sketch the pistol.

If it was still a musket, it would be difficult to carry and it would be difficult to have a surprise effect, although the blacksmith could not make steel nowadays, he had decided to make it himself.

The pistol was an extremely sophisticated weapon, and it took him nearly two hours to draw this sketch alone.

During this period, Jiang Shenyu came over and asked him to have dinner, but he didn't pay attention to it.

It wasn't until the hour that he carefully put the drawings into the drawer and locked them. Then he burned the other sketches and came out of the study.

"Changsha, you're finally out!" Jiang Shenyu has been waiting outside the door, although Xu Xiang replied to her and asked her not to disturb him, but he was still very worried, after all, he had been nesting in the study since he came back.

"I'm hungry." He said.

"I'll tell Qing'er to go and heat up your meal." Jiang Shenyu took his hand, and the two walked towards the kitchen.

When he walked into the courtyard, Xu Xiang glanced at the living room, yesterday Mingxiao killed the leader of the soldiers in the living room, and blood splattered all over the ground, although it was washed afterwards, but it made him feel a little pimple in his heart.

During the meal, Ge Qingsong came over with a medicine box on his back, saying that he had something to discuss with him.

"Has Mr. Ge eaten it?" Xu Xiang asked unhurriedly while eating.

"Young master, I've already eaten it!" Ge Qingsong said, and then said anxiously: "The homeless people who were sick at Zhenchuan Gate last time, do you still remember it?" ”

"Hmm!" Xu Xiang nodded, most of these infected people were overworked, and because of the cold weather, most of them were some wind chills, and there was no epidemic. Except for more than a dozen seriously ill people who were taken back to the city and taken care of by Ge Qingsong, the rest of the people were also sent to the Yellow River Beach after drinking medicine and getting better.

"Didn't a dozen people come to the city? The old decay treats them every day, grabs medicine, and most of them have begun to get better. Ge Qingsong said again, "But there is one person who has never gotten better, and he coughs very badly!" I couldn't even eat food for the past two days, so I could only feed some rice oil. ”

"Hmm. What is the reason? Xu Xiang stopped his chopsticks and asked.

"I ...... I suspect he's infected with the disease......" Ge Qingsong said with some uncertainty.

"What? Epidemic disease? Xu Xiang immediately cared, this person had been taken back to the city, if it was really an epidemic and it was infected, then millions of people in Ningdu would not be spared.

"Young Master, don't worry, just be suspicious. I have placed the man in a separate room and sealed his room with a white cloth. ”

Epidemics were almost terminal diseases in ancient times, they had no effective means of prevention and control, and once they spread, they spread much faster than the epidemics of later generations.

"Then there's Mr. Laurier! If you can't be sure, it's better to ask some doctors at the Ningdu Medical Center, let's take a look at the patient's condition and diagnose his illness as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, that's what I thought. Then young master, I'm going to arrange it? ”

After Ge Qingsong finished speaking, he was about to resign and leave.

"Oh, yes. How happened to Miss Ling'er and Yue Ling? Xu Xiang asked again.

"Miss Ling'er's health has improved a lot, Miss Ling'er's companion has already picked her up early this morning, as long as she recuperates for a while, there should be no big problem!" Ge Qingsong said, and when he talked about Yueling, he sighed again, "As for Xiaoling, it's still like that, alas, ......."

"Miss Ling'er was picked up?" Xu Xiang asked, after he came back from Lingwu County, he encountered Mingxiao's incident, and then went out again, and before he had time to see her, he thanked her in person, and felt a little regretful in his heart.

"Hmm!"

"Okay, I know, you go get busy first!" Xu Xiang waved his hand, and could only wait for the next time he met to thank the son and Zhai Ling'er.

After eating, Jiang Shenyu asked Qing'er to come over and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Xu Xiang remembered that he came back today and hadn't talked to Jiang Shenyu yet.

The two of them walked in the courtyard, holding hands and walking, and the setting sun shone on them through the gaps in the leaves, stretching their shadows very long.

"Shen Yu, Xu Yi came from Linzi and brought a lot of news."

"Yes! Is it! Brother Wang, how is he doing now? A look of joy appeared on Jiang Shenyu's face, and being able to learn the news of Jiang Shenyu was a happy thing for a girl far away from her homeland.

"He's good! Now the situation in the East China Sea is also very good, and the power in the hands of the five monarchs of the East China Sea has also returned to the hands of the royal family. ”

"That's good." With a smile on the corner of her mouth, from childhood to adulthood, she has always known that what her father and brother Wang hope most is that they will no longer be constrained by the five monarchs of the East China Sea, and they can carry out drastic reforms, and now that the situation in the East China Sea is improving, she will be relieved.

"Shen Yu, do you want to go back and see?" He asked again, although he knew that she hadn't mentioned the matter of the East China Sea since she came to Ningdu, but in her heart, she still missed the East China Sea very much.

"If, you want to go back and see. I'll send you back!" Seeing that Jiang Shenyu was silent and fell into memory, he said again.

"No, since I'm gone with you, I'm not going back. Where you are, I am! ”

Thinking of what happened recently, Xu Xiang is actually still very worried about her safety, following herself, unknown dangers have been lurking, and she doesn't know what will happen in the future.

Now that the East China Sea royal family is in power, presumably the East China Sea King will no longer sell her as before.

After all, after the improvement of the musket, the military power of the East China Sea was slowly increasing, and even the Northern Mongolia did not dare to go to war with it easily.

Back in Linzi, at least she won't be in any danger.

However, Xu Xiang also knew that Jiang Shenyu's personality was the same as his own.

The good thing to say is persistence, but in fact, it is strong! What you have determined in your heart will not be easily changed.

"Okay!" Xu Xiang did not persuade again.

"By the way, what about Jing'er? Is there any news of Jing'er? Jiang Shenyu asked about her personal maid again.

"No, I think I'm still guarding the mausoleum......" Xu Xiang looked at the direction of the East China Sea and said guessingly.

The East China Sea is in Zicheng, among Jiang Fu's mansions.

Jiang Fu sat quietly in the courtyard, holding a dried nine-leaf flower in his hand, a little distracted.

"Your Highness, Miss Jing'er has arrived." Yu Aqing walked over and said respectfully.

Jiang Fu came back to his senses, put the nine-leaf flower on the stone table, and said, "Please come over and talk." ”

Jing'er was dressed in plain clothes and tied in a high ponytail, and under the guidance of Yu Aqing, she came to Jiang Fu.

"Slave Jing'er has seen His Royal Highness the eldest prince!" Jing'er knelt down on her knees and said respectfully.

"Ah Qing, you go down first." Jiang Fu waved his hand lightly, and Yu Aqing left in response.

"Get up too." He said to Jing'er again.

"Your Highness!" Jing'er got up, lowered her little head, and stood aside respectfully.

In the past few months, she has been guarding the tomb of the king, although she knows that what is buried in this tomb is not her master, but in order to prevent the news that Jiang Shenyu is not dead from leaking out, she can only guard the tomb here, and dare not show any flaws.

Originally, she was used to living in that deserted place. There she has a small yard and cultivates a piece of land by herself, where she grows some vegetables for daily consumption.

For the happiness of the princess, she is willing to spend her whole life here.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she was about to fall asleep today, Jiang Fu sent someone to pick her up.

She didn't know that Jiang Fu already knew that Jiang Shenyu was faking his death, so after saluting, she didn't speak, quietly waiting for him to speak first, otherwise she would hurt the princess if she showed her flaws.

"Jing'er, these days in the royal tomb are very hard, right? You've lost a lot of weight. Jiang Fu said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness, guarding the tomb for the princess is a blessing for the slave maid, don't dare to say bitter!"

"The sunken fish is not dead." He looked at her and said earnestly.

She was stunned, not knowing whether Jiang Cheng really knew that the princess was not dead, or if she came to lie to her.

Kneeling on his knees again, he said in fear: "The princess has always lived in our hearts, Your Highness mourns." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Fu's mouth, "Look at you, what are you doing kneeling down again?" Get up. ”

Jing'er didn't dare to get up, she was very flustered in her heart, Jiang Fu was a prince after all, after taking back the royal power, the whole person became more and more kingly, not angry but arrogant.

She is just a maid, where can she dare to face the power of Jiang Fu.

"You know what's going on in the East China Sea, right? The Nangong clan rebelled, and Prince Ben was ordered to go to the conquest. ”

"I once heard some things from the uncle who sent grain and rice to the royal tomb."

"Then you should also know that when Prince Ben first went to rebel, he lost, right? But later, I was able to turn defeat into victory and destroy the Nangong clan in one fell swoop, do you know why? ”

"The slave maid is just a mausoleum guard, and she doesn't dare to talk about the state affairs of the East China Sea!" Jing'er still kept her head down.

"That's because someone helped Prince Ben, and that person is Prince Ben's brother-in-law, Xu Changsha. And, the sinking fish, too! Jiang Fu smiled and said.

Jing'er raised her head in surprise and looked at him, she was thinking about the truth of Jiang Fu's words, whether it was the truth or Jiang Fu's words to deceive her, she couldn't tell the difference.

"No one knows about this except Prince Ben!" Jiang Yu said again, "It's really embarrassing for you to guard a stranger's mausoleum." ”

Jing'er was silent and didn't dare to answer.

"I know you're loyal to Sunken Fish. You probably think I'm not talking to you! I don't have time to explain it to you! ”

"Shenyu is now in Ningdu, I will arrange for you to go to Ningdu now, are you willing?"

"I ......" Hearing him say that Jiang Shenyu was in Ningdu, she already believed what he said just now.

"Qiao Luoer from Qingyin Fang, you know, right? She was originally a spy in Northern Mongolia, but she took refuge in Shenyu. I think you know all too well what's going on. I believe you are still a little skeptical about her performance, right? Jiang Fu continued, "Just today, I received news that she had left Linzi and was heading for Ningdu. ”

"Xu Changsha's plan to fake his death, and where he will go later, I believe that no one knows about it except for a few of you. Xu Changsha will not tell this matter to a secret spy in Beimeng whose identity is not clear! Therefore, it is impossible for her to know where the sunken fish is! ”

"My people have been staring at her for a long time, since Shen Yu faked her death, she has been in Qingyinfang, and she has not made any other movements. However, now that she suddenly left Ningdu, she must have known that Shen Yu was in Ningdu. ”

"Her identity is definitely not simple, since she came to Ningdu, she deliberately approached Shenyu. Shen Yu is simple, it is easy to trust others, once she returns to Shen Yu's side, I am afraid that there will be other dangers. ”

"Others, I can't believe them. So, I'm going to send you to Ningdu. You...... You know how to do it, right? ”

Jiang Cheng said all the words in a row, and Jing'er knew that what he said was true.

Moreover, she is also very suspicious of Qiao Luoer's identity, but Jiang Shenyu trusts her very much, and as a maid, she is not easy to say.

"Jing'er is willing!"

Jiang Fu nodded, then took out a musket wrapped in white cloth from under the stone table, and said, "This is a musket invented by Xu Changsha, and after several improvements by craftsmen in the East China Sea, it has become much more powerful. I made this musket short so that you can carry it. Can be used as your weapon! ”

"Your martial arts skills are not as good as Qiao Luo'er, once you find out that she is not good for Shen Yu, you can use this musket to kill her by surprise!"

"Your Highness......"

Jing'er knew that Jiang Cheng was sincerely concerned about Jiang Shenyu, and she was also very moved in her heart, and solemnly took the musket into her hand with both hands.

"Go ahead!"

Jiang Fu waved his hand, and after Jing'er got up to leave, he picked up the nine-leaf flower on the stone table, turned the flower slightly, and muttered in his mouth: "Sinking fish...... If Xu Changsha can't protect you, I will personally lead the army and go to Ningdu to pick you up......."
