Chapter 0022 did not review the confession
In the end, Yun Xiaoshui said angrily: "In the future, you are not allowed to transfer the guards casually!" No one other than my wife or concubine is allowed in my study or room, nor are my maids! ”
General Meng Tian came to convey a good news to Yun Xiaoshui, Yun Xiaoshui's burning lime, burning red and cyan bricks and tiles, and coal fuel, the city walls built are faster and stronger, and the mountain passes of all sizes are safer and more beautiful. When the First Emperor heard the news, he prepared to tour the east again.
"Master Craftsman has made a miraculous feat again! The First Emperor will reward you again! Zhang Liang patted Yun Xiaoshui's shoulder again and said.
Yun Xiaoshui dodged lightly, shook his head and said, "The credit belongs to everyone!" I just use my brain and mouth, and the hard work is all done by the soldiers! ”
"That's right, General! Did the First Emperor say when he would come to the Eastern Tour? ”
was stunned by Yun Xiaoshui's question, General Meng looked at him a little reluctantly, shook his head and said, "There is no fixed time!" Now we are rushing to build the road! ”
"Huh? The First Emperor wouldn't want to go from Chidao to the Great Wall and then go east along the Great Wall, right? Yun Xiaoshui said with some surprise.
"That's a definite! Anyway, now the Chidao project is being urged very tightly! ”
After sending Meng Tian and Zhang Liang away, Yun Xiaoshui returned to the study, and happened to see Leng Yue and Mrs. Yuyao holding the Book of Heaven and comparing them with a few wooden boards. And Bingshuang is learning to write with Xiangzhi.
"Old woman, what are you doing here? Is it true to be false? And make so many fake books! ”
Seeing Yun Xiaoshui enter the tent, the four of them stopped what they were doing and came to wait for him. Mrs. Yuyao also took this opportunity to say to Yun Xiaoshui that she thought of a layer of situation, although the Book of Heaven is now dispensable for Yun Xiaoshui, but for the First Emperor, it is indispensable! For the whole country, there is still better than nothing.
In other words, if there is no Book of Heaven, although it will not affect the construction of the Great Wall, the First Emperor and the people of the world still can't accept it, because it is a symbol of divine help! Without the Book of Heaven, the divine power of the First Emperor would be gone, and I, Yun Xiaoshui, would not be a prodigy craftsman, even if I could still help build the Great Wall, I would only be a craftsman! Yun Xiaoshui said with some understanding.
"That's right! The Book of Heaven has become a sacred symbol! With you, the First Emperor and the people of Great Qin, they have all become one! ”
Listening to Mrs. Yuyao's words, Yun Xiaoshui ordered to create several identical treasure wood brocade boxes, only none of them contained the Book of Heaven, and several of them contained wooden boards of the same size and thickness as the Book of Heaven. Sheng Tianshu's only one brocade box with a mechanism remains. The mechanism turned out to be a replica, with a wooden pin blocked by brocade on one side of the brocade box. Pressing it will make the book in the box visible or hidden, which means that the book is turned underneath.
It was another rainy day, and thieves were once again recruited in Yun Xiaoshui's study. Or the method of cutting the account, got into the study tent. This time it was not good, Yun Xiaoshui did not put the book of heaven in a special brocade box, but casually put it into a brocade box that was all the same. There was no one in the tent, and the people who entered the room quickly came out with the brocade box of Sheng Tianshu to meet the person outside, and were about to leave, when a bang sounded, and dozens ......of people surrounded the two of them in all directions.
The two thieves who came, their martial arts are indeed not low, and they would rather die than surrender! This is also a special training program for spies, and it is impossible to be caught in a desperate situation, and everything must be held on until the last moment.
Yun Xiaoshui wanted to catch a live one here, but he didn't release the arrow directly. Naturally, there will be no shortage of fights. Four male guards rushed up at the same time, and World War II killed them.
After fighting for nearly half an hour, he couldn't take down one, on the contrary, a male guard named Niu Er was accidentally killed by the flying knives of two spies.
This is the second escort to be killed! "Kill! Dead and alive! ”
With Yun Xiaoshui's promise, the guards showed their skills, bows, arrows, and darts beckoned together, even if they had the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth, the two thieves couldn't escape.
In an instant, one was killed and one was wounded, and he was taken. But before the wounded man could be interrogated with herbs! The man struggled to commit suicide.
"Holy! In the end, he is a spy, willing to die! Yun Xiaoshui thought about sending two people to ask General Meng to send a partial general to identify the body and see if it was an officer or soldier in the barracks.
Zhang Liang personally took two people who were biased towards the future, and when he heard that someone had stolen the Book of Heaven, General Meng was also surprised and indignant.
"Zhang Daniu, Li Si? It's all thousands of officials! Zhang Liang was taken aback by recognizing the two deceased at a glance, and the two generals could also confirm that the two were acquaintances.
"Whose spy? It is impossible for a foreign country, it should be a high-ranking official of the DPRK and China! Yun Xiaoshui analyzed for Zhang Liang, "There should be a lot of them in the barracks!" It's all mixed up to a thousand, are there any bigger officers? ”
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and did not speak.
Yun Xiaoshui continued to lure the book thief, but he still didn't know that he didn't put the book of heaven under the copy in the special brocade box, but continued to stay in an ordinary brocade box with no mechanism.
General Meng Tian was also urging work day and night, urging the soldiers and servants to repair the gallop road day and night.
The First Emperor really wanted to gallop on the straight road.
"Where is the general's gallop road construction stuck? The construction is slow, which makes the first emperor anxious! When Yun Xiaoshui heard Zhang Liang talk about General Meng's sorrowful sigh, he went to ask Meng Tian specifically.
Meng Tian has always been friendly with the great prince Fusu, and as a close minister of the first emperor, he is loyal to both Daqin and the first emperor. Listening to Yun Xiaoshui's question, he also thought that Yun Xiaoshui's craftsman skills might also play a role in road construction! He told Yun Xiaoshui about a major problem that was being encountered in Xiuchi Road.
The piercing of the tunnel through the mountain, pure manpower chisel is really slow!
"I'll figure it out, please give me ten days!"
Hearing this, Meng Tian and Zhang Liang both believed in Yun Xiaoshui, but many partial generals, as well as those captains, military officers and others did not believe in Yun Xiaoshui. It's not that I don't believe in the divine power of the prodigy and the Book of Heaven, but I don't believe that the prodigy craftsman who repairs the Great Wall can still have any magical tricks on the road and digging stone caves.
Yun Xiaoshui didn't care about other people's disbelief, and took the guards to go to Tianya Temple again.
"Young Master! You're not going to get the secret letter there, are you? Feng Lei asked stupidly. Frost's cold gaze swept away the wind and thunder, and he said angrily: "Pig brain? The letter has been taken away, the person has been killed, will the message come here again? ”
Feng Lei scratched the back of his head and laughed at himself stupidly: "I just thought it was like this! So what are we going to do? Master! ”
"Don't leak it!" Yun Xiaoshui smiled and picked up the horse and ran forward. When I arrived at Tianyaguan, there were a few old Taoists who were opening the furnace for alchemy. The whole mountain top is filled with the smell of medicine, as well as the smell of coal and sulfur.
Yun Xiaoshui was overjoyed, so he deliberately learned alchemy skills with the veterans. When asked the Taoist priests about the source of saltpeter and sulfur, the Taoist priests either kept silent or directly said the recipe for the elixir they bought from the town's big pharmacy.
Yun Xiaoshui knew that what was sold on the market was really a mixed elixir formula, and it was difficult to buy things like saltpeter, sulfur, mercury, and dansha alone, let alone buy them all, let alone buy them in large quantities.
Through Yun Xiaoshui's observation, the Taoist priests here did not buy all the mixed formulas, they must have bought them the same and prepared them in proportion, and the amount was not large.
"Don't say it! Bullnose old said, I still don't believe that I can't pry your mouth open! Muttering in his heart, Yun Xiaoshui frowned, thinking about it. Then he said to the old Taoists: "Immortal Dao! What you have refined must be a black pill, which is not holy at all, and it will not sell for a price when you sell it. I have two kinds of strange things, add one to make the pill yellow, and add the other to make the pill golden, golden, mysterious, to ensure that the effect is good, and the selling price is high. If you're interested, swap with me! ”
"What the master craftsman said is true or false? What do you want to exchange? "There's an old way that touches my heart.
As long as there is one person who wants to say it, Yun Xiaoshui took advantage of the victory to pursue, waved his hand to let the old Dao come closer, and whispered a few words to him, the old Dao was first shocked that the two eyes were round, and then he added an ordinary thing to his alchemy furnace in confusion, and he himself found it everywhere.
It didn't take long for the color of his elixir to change, and it was not so dark and autumnal.
Lao Dao was so frightened that he sweated, and immediately reached an exchange agreement with Yun Xiaoshui. He told Yun Xiaoshui the source of his saltpeter and sulfur, and Yun Xiaoshui also told him what the specific name of the added substance was.
