"No official told the emperor about the importance of firearms?" Guo Sheng asked.

"Now that the government is controlled by traitors such as Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Yu, those who disagree with each other have been demoted out of the capital, and who dares to speak out. On the contrary, officials are proud to climb their big trees, as long as their official position is raised, who cares about the safety of the country. ”

Ling Zhen looked helpless and said: "I myself studied firearms in private, and I was slandered as not doing my job, and I couldn't be reused everywhere. ”

"This is really a place where heroes are useless!"

As soon as Guo Sheng shouted for Ling Zhen, Ling Zhen looked up to the sky and sighed, looking like a hero was short of breath.

Seeing this, Guo Sheng said, "Brother Ling, do you know that there is a country called Daqin in a distant place? Their artillery technology is very developed, and cannons are installed on the ships, which have a long range, super power, and are extremely powerful. My father once went to Daqin and brought a book on making artillery, I copied a few paragraphs, I wanted to make a meeting gift to Brother Ling, I didn't want to forget it later, but now I suddenly remember, Brother Ling to see if it is useful? ”

Saying that Guo Sheng took out the description of the cannon that Song Jiang gave him in later generations, Ling Zhen was fascinated, and he was stunned like an old monk, muttering: "There is really such an artillery, why worry about the sixteen states of Yanyun." ”

Suddenly asked Guo Sheng: "Does Brother Mai have any drawings?" ”

Guo Sheng said: "Yes! ”

Ling Zhen was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and said, "Take it and take a look!" ”

"The picture is in the book, and I can't draw it."

Guo Sheng said: "The book is in Qingzhou's hometown, and it is kept by my eldest brother. ”

Ling Zhen's disappointment was overflowing on the surface, and he even said that it was a pity!

Shi Yong returned to Qingfeng Mountain and brought not only the "money leopard" but also the "blind cat". Song Jiang thought to himself that this butterfly fanned his wings, and finally there was a change, Han Bolong was originally hacked to death by Li Kui, who was eating the overlord's meal, but now he is standing in front of him alive, where is this reasonable!

The nickname "blind cat" is appropriate, who asked him not to open his eyes to look at the sky-killing star Li Kui, and asked him for food money.

Song Jiang didn't say much, and arranged for the three heroes to wash the dust, Han Bolong and Tang Long were all happy in their hearts. After the banquet, Song Jiang appointed Tang Long as the director of the arsenal and developed weapons, and Shi Yong and Han Bolong took care of the hotel in Qingfeng Town.

The houses in Qingfeng Mountain are now under construction, the hotel and gambling house have been selected and are now being renovated, and the liquor workshop has been completed, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Ling Zhen couldn't sleep these days, and the strange artillery was entangled in his thoughts, and he couldn't stop. There are many places where I can't figure it out, and I can't see any records after consulting the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", so I want to ask Maddie, who knows that this kid won't come at all in the past few days, and his heart is even more anxious.

On this day, Ling Zhen had just had dinner, Maddie came in with a jar of wine, Ling Zhen was overjoyed, Guo Sheng asked about the situation of the Great Qin artillery before he could sit down. Guo Sheng also looked helpless, the picture and the detailed description are in the book, his ability is limited, he doesn't remember much, no matter how much he drinks first.

During the drinking, Ling Zhen was always absent-minded, Guo Sheng was secretly happy, Brother Song Jiang's strategy really worked, and Ling Zhen would enter the net after a few days. He pushed the stunned Ling Zhen and said, "What does Lord Ling think?" Which yard girl makes you so fascinated and forgetful. ”

Ling Zhen smiled and said, "How can there be such a thing, I am wondering how Daqin's artillery can hit so far, how can it have such powerful power." ”

After speaking, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Brother Maddie, can you go home and bring the book to me to see?" ”

"Lord Ling, what kind of friendship do we have, such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning."

Guo Sheng saw Ling Zhen's surprised look and said: "But, the book is kept by the eldest brother, he said that it is a relic of the old father, and if it is lost, it is unfilial, and he will not let me take it out, otherwise I would have handed over the book to the adult by now." Look at Lord Ling, we can't help with this. ”

Ling Zhen's happy flame was extinguished by a basin of water, and he said disappointedly: "It's a pity, if I can take a look, I will be satisfied." ”

Guo Sheng heard this: "It's not difficult for adults to just look at it. ”

Ling Zhen heard that there was hope, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Mai, is there a way for me to see the book?" ”

Guo Sheng was not in a hurry, picked up the wine glass and motioned for Ling Zhen to toast, slowly finished the wine and said, "My lord, you can go to my hometown in Qingzhou with me, borrow books to read at my house, and then you secretly copy them, won't you have a complete book?" ”

"Isn't that okay? Will your brother lend me to read? ”

"No problem with this! My brother is illiterate, and it's useless to keep books, but I'm afraid of losing them. There is no problem at all with borrowing books at home, and I can pack tickets for this. Guo Sheng is sure to be authentic.

"That's the only way, I'll take a few days off and go to Qingzhou with you in a few days." After the heart disease was taken, Ling Zhen was so happy that he drank several glasses in a row.

A few days later, Ling Zhen asked for leave, said goodbye to his old mother, wife and children, and urged Guo Sheng to go to Qingzhou, and the two rode out of the city to Qingzhou. Guo Sheng had already sent someone to Qingfeng Mountain to inform Song Jiang, cast a net and wait for the fish to take the bait.

Ling Zhen left for less than two hours, Xu Liu came to Ling Zhen's house and said: "Madam, Lord Ling wants to go to Qingzhou with his family to play for a few days, and now he is waiting outside the city, and he sent a villain to pick up the old woman and his wife and children, and now the carriage is outside the door." ”

Ling Guohao jumped up happily, Yu Niang asked a few words, Xu Liu replied that he didn't doubt it anymore, and he was afraid that he would miss the time, so he hurriedly packed up and took the car.

After going out of the city for a few miles, Ling Zhen was still missing, and Yu Niang asked Xu Liudao in doubt: "Where is the official?" ”

Xu Liu stopped in the lane: "It was nearby just now, why can't you see anyone now?" Madame, don't be impatient, there is water and food here, you suppress your hunger first, and the little one will go to find it, and there will be news from Lord Ling in a while. ”

Xu Liu handed the water bladder and cooking cake to Yu Niang, and quickly ran forward to find someone. After a while, with a whistle, the two horsemen galloped out of the shadows, Xu Liu said that everything was going well, and then came to the carriage with them, only to see Ling Zhen's old wife and children fainting in the car, it turned out that Xu Liu put sweat medicine in the water and food.

The three of them drove and rode horses, and quickly ran along the path to Qingfeng Mountain.

Ling Zhen couldn't wait to go to Qingzhou immediately, but Guo Sheng was not in a hurry at all, he rested here, ate and drank there, walked three miles and rested two miles, leisurely. Ling Zhen urged repeatedly, but Guo Sheng barely sped up.

On this day, when he walked to a mountain, a horse team of more than 30 people suddenly came out to surround the two, and the leader was Wang Ying, after he exchanged glances with Guo Sheng, he pulled Ling Zhen off the horse with an order, and then tied him tightly.

Seeing that Guo Sheng and the thief were talking and laughing, Ling Zhen understood that he had fallen into the trap, so he scolded Maddie for being a wolf, and he couldn't die well.

Guo Sheng also ignored it, anyway, you are scolding Maddie, what do you have to do with me Guo Sheng.

Song Jiang was overjoyed when he saw that Ling Zhen had finally been deceived, and personally untied Ling Zhen, explaining that he cherished talents, and invited Ling Zhen to come to the cottage to study firearms, and one day to contribute to the Great Song Dynasty after recruiting peace.

Ling Zhen was willing, but under the eaves of others, he still had a good habit of bowing his head, so he tried his best to excuse himself: "I am very happy to fight side by side with my brothers, but the old mother and young son are all in Kyoto, and the grass falling here will affect them, so I will pick them up and go up the mountain together." ”

"Filial piety comes first", he played this card, Song Jiang is known as "filial piety and black Saburo", he won't force me to stay!

How could Song Jiang not know his thoughts, and clapped his hands and came out, and Ling Zhen was stunned. Song Jiang said: "I took your family back to the cottage yesterday, don't bother Brother Ling." ”

Seeing that this road was impassable, Ling Zhen moved another heart, and said to Song Jiang: "I have a lot of books and utensils for making firearms at home, waiting for me to pick them up and use. ”

I thought that I would go to Tokyo like a fish in the sea, and there would be no turning back, you are famous in the rivers and lakes of Songjiang, so you will not attack women and children!

"It's not bothering Lord Ling."

At this time, Xu Liujin came in and said, "I have moved all the books that Lord Ling needs, and they are all outside. ”

As soon as everyone saw that the carriage outside was full of books from Ling Zhen's family, Xu Liu turned around to leave, and suddenly turned around again and said: "When I came, I added a fire to Lord Ling's house, but now it is full of rubble, and the neighbors have been affected by the fire, and I am afraid that my lord will not be able to go back." ”

When Ling Zhen heard that there was nothing he could do, he secretly scolded Song Jiang in his heart, you are a bullshit "timely rain"!

You are simply a volcanic eruption, a tsunami, a tornado, a great earthquake, a mudslide, a great flood of the Yellow River, you have ruined my quiet life and beautiful dreams in Kyoto.
