Chapter 440: A Long Way to Go

Chen Xu returned to his bedroom, opened a wooden box with copper strips and nails, took out a suede-wrapped thing from it, opened it, and revealed a palm-sized golden round object with exquisite workmanship.

It's a real glass mirror, and it's crystal glass.

This is a flat round piece of glass poured out of the crystal left over after the last casting of the lens, which is one point thick, that is, only more than two millimeters thick, very thin, but as crystal clear as the lens, without half a point of impurities and bubbles.

And the glass alone is not enough, but also have to be coated with a reflective layer on the back of the glass to be used as a mirror, the mirror of later generations is coated with silver, but not silver powder, but the chemical salt solvent of silver, and then after a series of chemical reactions, the silver is precipitated to form a coating on the surface of the glass, but this complex chemical industry Chen Xu can only say hehe, and then use the simplest method, let the craftsman make a thin piece of tin foil pasted on the glass, and then found that the effect is not bad, basically similar to the ordinary mirror of later generations, Compared with today's bronze mirror, it can be called a nine-grade artifact, and you can see the pores on your face clearly when you get closer, and the freckles are even more obvious.

Looking at the few small beans on the face of the guy in the mirror, Chen Xu's face jumped lightly.

Nima has pimples, and it seems that it is time to marry a wife to extinguish the fire.

It's been almost two years since he crossed over to Daqin, and with this mirror, he finally saw clearly what he looked like for the first time.

In the past, he always couldn't see clearly in front of the basin and the bronze mirror, but now he couldn't help but sigh after seeing it clearly, he was not handsome at all, an ordinary teenager, thin but not thin, after all, in the past two years, except for the first few months of eating almost, since he became a pawn, he has eaten no different from the later generations, the fish, meat and vegetables are full, and they are all natural green food, so the cheeks are full and the skin and flesh are symmetrical, but the skin is relatively dark, and the white and tender are very different from those women.

It seems that there is still a long way to go to grow into a handsome little white face.

Chen Xu sighed, carefully put away the crystal glass mirror that could be called a nine-grade artifact, and then took out a leather case with a belt from the box, opened a buckle on the sleeve, and took out a handgun that was a foot long from it.

This was the powerful weapon he had told Yu Wuya last time.

Since the first earthen gun was officially successfully built, Chen Xu let Ma Gen and Gong Win build several earthen guns one after another, constantly adjusting the trigger hammer spring and other excitation devices, and finally perfectly solved the problem of fire gun after building more than ten guns, which can almost ensure that it is easy to shoot, and the success rate of a fire is more than eighty percent, that is to say, the research and development of firearms is absolutely successful, but because it is a scatter attack, the accuracy of shooting is not high, and what crosshair is not needed. After shooting roughly along the barrel of the gun, it can form a lethal force a hundred meters away, and the iron bullet can penetrate a layer of cowhide armor, which Chen Xu is still very satisfied with.

And since all the design and data of the firecracker have been verified, Chen Xu designed this handgun on the basis of the earthcracker.

The overall length of the handcuff is about one foot, the barrel is cast from the finest steel, the butt and handle are made of ebony, the trigger and hammering device are also reduced in proportion, the appearance is smooth and shiny, and the handle is also carved with the marks of wind, thunder, water and fire and the pattern of Bagua Taiji, which looks like an alchemy weapon full of mystical atmosphere.

Holding this heavy pistol, which weighed almost a kilogram, Chen Xu felt extremely steady.

He is not Huang Rong and does not know martial arts, let alone Guo Jingqiao's eighteen palms of the dragon, so he must have a secret self-defense weapon, and this handcuff gave him great confidence and courage, although the power is not great, there is basically no big threat from twenty meters away, but it is enough as a self-defense weapon, it is difficult for people and animals to approach within three zhang, and within one zhang can blast the head of a wild wolf into a blood gourd, and kill him with one blow.

Therefore, with this handcuff, he asked Yu Wuya to go back to Xiaohe Village in advance, this time he wanted to go back to visit relatives, all the way thousands of miles away, and it was necessary to bring a handcuff to defend himself.

After carefully wiping the oil next to each other, and checking the gourd and projectile strips containing gunpowder, he inserted the handcuff into the holster, and then pulled out a row of small bamboo tubes on the side of the holster and checked it carefully, and found that the gunpowder and the suede wrapped in the iron bullet did not fall loose, so he put the holster into the box and locked it with confidence.

Early the next morning, before the sky was completely bright, the entire Qinghe Hou Mansion was already shouting and neighing.

Because the city gate was about to set off when the city gate was opened, under the loud reprimand of the steward, the stewards, the guards, the helpers, the grooms, and the maids all got up early, cooked, cleaned up, and checked the items that had been bundled, and more than 20 carriages were ready to go.

Chen Xu also got up early in the morning, and after washing up and eating breakfast, he took out the handcuffs from the box, and buckled the belt with the leather case on his body like a bandit in later generations, and pulled it a few times to find that it was very firm, and then put on a windbreaker and carried the wooden box out of the room.

"Master Hou, are we leaving?" The faces of the few waiting maids outside were red with excitement.

"Well, go and inform everyone, finish eating and drinking as soon as possible and get ready to go!" Chen Xu nodded and walked out, and several little maids also hurriedly scattered.

By the time Chen Xu walked into the courtyard, almost all the people who needed to accompany him had already arrived.

More than fifty burly guards in leather armor, horsemen who drove the car, accompanying helpers and cooks, two stewards and seven or eight personal maids who served Chen Xu to wash and eat and drink, all of them were all dressed in clean and neat clothes at this time, and they all looked at Chen Xu excitedly.

All the people in the entire Qinghe Hou Mansion now add up to nearly four hundred, as well as more than a hundred horses and dozens of cars, although everyone wants to follow the Hou Ye out to visit relatives, but this is impossible, and there are less than a hundred people in the end under careful selection, so the people who are selected feel almost as excited as winning the jackpot.

In this era, it is impossible for ordinary people to come up with a long trip.

First of all, there is the traffic problem, and it is simply difficult to move an inch without horses and cars when going far away.

The second is the issue of identity, ordinary civilians with household registration cannot leave the place of household registration casually, unless there is a pass and a conscription order issued by the government, if the identity card is lost, it will be punished as a vagrant, and then it will be arrested and used as a slave.

The third is the issue of security, and it is the main problem, Daqin is vast and sparsely populated, once out of the city is the wilderness, beasts are everywhere, one or two people do not dare to go on the road at all, of course, except for Yu Wuya, a fierce man with strong martial arts, one person can kill the breed of tigers everywhere in the world.

Therefore, among the hundreds of people in the Hou Mansion, except for some guards who can often go out of the city with Chen Xu's progress, most of the others stay in the mansion all day long, and many of them do not even have the right to leave the mansion.

This is a hierarchical society under strict legal constraints.

Therefore, Chen Xu wanted to go back to Nanyang to visit relatives, and the servants in the mansion who had never been far away were naturally very happy, and it was naturally a great honor to accompany Hou Ye to go out.

Chen Ping, Sun Shujiong, Yingbu and others also came to see each other off early, and hundreds of people from the newspaper hall and the factory of the Academy of Sciences came, all of whom gathered at the gate of the Hou Mansion to say goodbye to the Hou Ye.

There are more people who come to hear the news, and countless beggars are also crowded in it, if it weren't for the Qinghe Hou cold winter Layue soup soup and clothes, I'm afraid many people would not be able to survive the warm spring today.

With a dense sound of kicking and trampling horses' hooves getting closer and closer like thunder, all the people on the street outside the Hou Mansion scattered on both sides, only to see two young warriors wearing leather armor and waist straddle long swords, led by three hundred knights with the same black armor covering bodies and carrying bows and arrows and holding banners, and finally all stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The two young warriors turned over and dismounted, then tidied up their armor and strode into the courtyard, looking at the carriage and personnel that had already been cleaned up, the two walked in front of Chen Xu and saluted together.

"Bai Zhen greets the Marquis of Qinghe."

"Wang Li meets the Marquis of Qinghe!"

"Big Brother Bai and Big Brother Wang are exempt!" Chen Xu smiled and said, "This time, I want to trouble the two eldest brothers to escort them all the way, it is a long way to come and go, and it is hard for the two of you!" ”

"Haha, Qinghe Hou must not say this, the two of us finally got this errand, and every day in Xianyang, I feel that my bones are going to have worms!" Bai Zhen couldn't close his mouth happily, he and Chen Xu had already known each other, and he also knew Chen Xu's temperament, although the status of the two was very different now, and the two rarely met on weekdays, but Bai Zhen felt that there was no barrier between the two, just like when they got along in Qinghe Town.

"That's it, I can go out with Qinghehou for a walk, and I'm excited for a night!" Wang Li also smiled and nodded, he was three or four years younger than Bai Zhen, and he had met Chen Xu a few times, this errand was still begged by his father Wang Ben to ask the emperor, for an energetic martial artist like them, being able to protect Chen Xu on a long trip was almost like going out to travel.

"That's good, since the two big brothers are here, let's go!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Honorable Marquis Order!" The two of them clasped their fists again and saluted again, then turned around and left the house, and with a few shouts, the forbidden army outside the door began to disperse in a line, and soon a passage was vacant on the street.

And Chen Xu also boarded the carriage, and his eyes swept over everyone present: "I am waiting to go back to my hometown to visit relatives, most of them will be two months, and I will return in one month, and all things in the house will be taken care of by the housekeeper, and everyone must obey the order!" ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" The rest of the Hou Mansion personnel who could not accompany hurriedly saluted together.

"Chen Pingyingbu Sun Shujiong, you must act carefully according to Ben Hou's instructions, don't make mistakes, if something goes wrong, notify Zhao Qing to tell the emperor to deal with it, don't cause trouble!"

"I'll keep in mind Master Hou's orders!" Chen Pingyingbu and others hurriedly saluted together.

"Please, everyone, out~" Chen Xu nodded and slapped the handrail, the groom shook the reins, and with the sound of driving, the four horses moved in a row, and the carriage started to go to the gate of the Hou Mansion.

"Keep up~" With the order of the head of the guards, the entourage also hurriedly got on the car and got on the horse to follow.
