"Your Excellency, on the orders of my master, I have come to talk to you about something."

"What is your surname, sir?"

"I don't want to be a noble envoy, I have a single name, and my surname is Gou."

"It turned out to be Mr. Gou Shu in person, so who is your master?"

"King Lu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanjin!"

Another prince? Lu Dongzan frowned slightly, he currently has no good impression of Datang and the princes of Datang.

"What are you worried about?"

Mr. Gou saw Lu Dongzan's concerns and asked.

Lu Dongzan snorted coldly, "The prince of the Tang Dynasty is not a good thing. ”

Mr. Gou smiled: "Don't be angry, I know that you have made a move in Chang'an, but it's okay to lose your brains, you can't lose your temperament anymore, right?" ”

Lu Dongzan choked on one sentence, and he slowed down for a long time before he spoke again.

"Then I don't know what you and your master want to talk to me about, Mr. Gou?"

Mr. Gou smiled mysteriously, "Then it depends on what you mean!" ”

Lu Dongzan's face was slightly ugly, "What do you mean?" Mr. Gou, I hate the way you Tang people speak in circles, can't you just say it simply? ”

Mr. Gou nodded again and again, "Naturally, in fact, the simple thing is that my master wants to negotiate a deal with Tubo!" ”

"What kind of sale?"

"A deal that can make the noble envoy take revenge and raise his eyebrows!"

"Let me take revenge? Can you still kill Li Chengyu, the king of Qin, Li Chongchen, the king of Jibei County, and Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao? ”

I remember it very clearly, it seems that what happened before really him off.

Mr. Gou smiled happily: "Why not?" ”

Lu Dongzan's body trembled slightly, "So now, I want to hear what you want to talk about!" ”

Mr. Gou spoke quickly, highlighting four words, "Coalition Army, punish Tang!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Dongzan shook his head again and again, "I can't fight, Datang is strong now, and Tubo is not Datang's opponent!" ”

Mr. Gou comforted: "Your envoy is too worried, if Tubo and the Tang Dynasty are enemies, they will definitely be defeated." But what if you and I join forces? ”

"Join forces with you, King Lu? Forgive me for my ignorance, I still don't know how much ability your master has! ”

Mr. Gou said with a smile: "Your envoy only needs to send one person back to Chang'an, and you will know the answer in a few days." ”

Lu Dongzan's face was cloudy, and this sudden appearance of "Mr. Gou" made him feel a little uneasy.

"In that case, I will believe you once and send someone to Chang'an for two days."

I don't know, what he wants to know, the situation is stronger than people, and now people are still bringing troops to surround him!

In Chang'an City, outside the gunpowder workshop, a person sneaked around, and seemed to be carrying something in his arms.

"Did you bring anything?"

A masked man waiting in the middle of nowhere.

"Brought it, it took me a lot of effort to get it, you have to add money!"

The masked man's voice was slightly cold, "Okay, take it out and show it to me!" ”

"Okay, here you go...... Yes! You ......"

I thought that the other party would give me a large sum of money, but I didn't expect it to be a dagger that flashed in cold light in the end.

He fell to the ground in pain, his hands clutching the blood in his throat, his eyes full of fear.

The masked man wiped the blood stains off the dagger and sneered: "Stupid guy, the things are already in your hands, do you want to keep you?" ”

waited until the man on the ground had lost his breath before he left in style.

The next day, the news of the death of a steward of the gunpowder workshop returned to the palace.

Li Shimin said angrily: "Give me an investigation!" Check it carefully! ”

The gunpowder workshop produces thunderbolts, this is the consensus of the whole Tang Dynasty, the stewardship is not of high grade, but it is also the existence of access to artillery and gunpowder making methods.

Judging from the search, thousands of yuan have been found in his home, and it is obvious that he has been bought.

Then, there is a problem in front of Li Shimin at the moment.

Is the recipe for the cannon already stolen?

There was also a lot of discussion in the court, and this kind of news couldn't be covered up at all, because the identity of the deceased was too special.

The officials who had always wanted to contact the Gunpowder Workshop were very nervous at the moment.

If you want to say that the face is the most ugly, it must be the person in charge of the gunpowder workshop now, Zhang Xingcheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhang Xingcheng bowed and cried: "Your Majesty, the minister has a heavy trust, please die!" ”

This matter is too serious, as soon as the Tubo people left Beijing, one person died in charge of the gunpowder workshop?

Li Shimin's brows were tightly locked, and his fingers kept tapping on the dragon case.

"Your Majesty, it has been ascertained that Wu Feng, the manager of the gunpowder workshop, did secretly write down a recipe for making gunpowder!"

Dai Xuan went to the palace to report the case, the ministers were noisy, and Li Shimin couldn't help but scold: "Bastard! ”

Really lost!

"Go and check with me, I want to know if there are still people colluding with people in the gunpowder workshop to get the gunpowder production blueprints! Also, go and chase back the secret of the gunpowder sent by the steward! ”

"Yes!"

Dai Zhou hurriedly received the order to retreat, if he stayed in the palace any longer, he was afraid that he didn't know what would happen.

"I really didn't expect it, King Qin's words were fulfilled in less than half a month, before this, did the secret of gunpowder have been spread?"

Li Shimin faced the hundred officials and asked in a cold voice.

The hundred officials replied, "The ministers don't know, Your Majesty is angry!" ”

"Anger? How to calm anger? You come and tell me, if Tubo and Goguryeo have artillery, how should I deal with myself? ”

There is another sentence that Li Shimin didn't say, that is, if the family has an artillery method, is this Chang'an really safe?

The hundred officials knew it, and naturally understood that His Majesty's words meant something else.

Dai Xuan led people around, and for three days in a row, he finally found a clue.

Wu Feng, the manager of the gunpowder workshop, met with a masked man in a garden some time ago.

As soon as he got the news, Dai Zhou led people to the garden.

"The girl who entertained Wu Feng before will come out, and the official has something to ask!"

"Dai Siqing, this is ......"

"Don't talk nonsense with this official, no matter who the field is today, you have to hand it over, otherwise the person behind you won't be able to protect your head!"

The old bustard in the garden saw that Dai Guan's attitude was tough, and something big should have happened.

Don't dare to be sloppy, and hurriedly send someone to find it.

A girl named Emerald Kite came, with a slight fear on her face.

"The slave family is the emerald kite, I don't know what you need the slave family to do?"

has a good figure, but his face is a little worse, but a gunpowder shop manager has no possibility of spending a lot of money.

Dai Xuan asked, "When was the last time Wu Feng looked for you?" ”

"Seven days ago, he said he would get me out of here right away."

"But what mysterious person came here with him?"

“......”

"Ask you what! You name it! ”

"Yes! It seems that there is a disease on his face, and he has been wearing a cloth veil, and he can't see it clearly at all. ”

Dai Zhou Li Ke asked: "Then do you know, what is that person's surname?" ”

Cui Kite shook her head and said, "I don't know, but Wu Feng called him a gentleman." ”

"Sir?"

The clue was interrupted, and when Dai Zhou returned to the saint, there was a lot of sweat on his forehead.

I can't find it clearly, looking for a needle in a haystack, because the word "masked" has completely become Dai Guan's nightmare.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

I don't know when, there have been rumors that the gunpowder workshop has been stolen, and there has been a lot of discussion for a while.

The people all said with hatred: "With such a heavy weapon, why don't you say that you should protect it well?" ”

They know better than anyone what kind of disputes will be caused by the artillery production method if it is taken away by the gangsters, and even the war will definitely be brought in the end.

As soon as the spy who was sent back to Chang'an by Lu Dongzan heard the news, he rushed back directly and reported to Lu Dongzan.

At that time, Lu Dongzan's expression was really ridiculous, and it was unbelievable that he could stuff a whole steamed bun into his mouth.

I can't help but believe it, Mr. Gou said that he would send someone back to Chang'an and wait for the news, maybe this is the news he was waiting for.

In this way, hasn't the method of making gunpowder already fallen into the hands of Mr. Gou?

Lu Dongzan's heart faintly ignited a flame of hope, if he can bring this thing back to Tubo, it will be much more beneficial than marrying the Tang Dynasty!

Tubo is not only surrounded by the Tang Dynasty, but also Tianzhu and Nanzhao.

A weapon for defending a city, but not a weapon for attacking a city?
