Since he came back from the Yang Palace, Shen Leng went directly to the single courtyard he borrowed from the general Yuan Shu, the courtyard was very large, in the forbidden army camp, surrounded by heavy security, the reason why the bearded man was settled here was first for his safety and the second was for fear that he would run.

This man has a hole in his brain, a big hole that can swallow his enemies into.

Sometimes Shen Leng felt that the sky really favored Daning, otherwise, if this bearded man stayed on the side of the black warriors, after three or five years, he might really be allowed to make some big killing weapons, and at that time, how many Daning's soldiers would die on the battlefield in vain.

The bearded man didn't think it was okay to be locked up, he was a madman, he would stay at home if he was given enough things he needed, Shen Leng was so cold that he had been drawing all the time before, and he had drawn a lot of compositions before, but when he arrived at Heiwu, he was afraid that he would be searched, so he simply burned the fire.

Re-drawing, a lot of details need to be re-studied.

Shen Leng looked at the pictures one by one, and looked at it with a big head: "Each picture is a part?" ”

"Yes."

The bearded man glanced at Shen Leng, looking a little tired, but still very excited: "When I was in the workshop, I had been learning to draw from my master, and this thing might have thousands of parts when it was built. ”

When he said this, he had an undisguised smug look on his face.

Shen Leng couldn't understand those pictures, in his opinion, they were just a bunch of lines, and he felt that it was too complicated.

He was anxious: "If a crossbow cart needs thousands or even more parts, then when and what month can it equip the army?" ”

The bearded man was silent for a moment: "It's hard to say, although I think my diagram is fine, but after it is built, it may not be a success, it may need to be adjusted and tested repeatedly, if you are unlucky, you may tear it all down and redo it, even if it is fast, it is good to be able to build one in two years, but if the first one is built and there is no problem, it will not be so slow to build it later." ”

Shen Leng: "Can it be simplified?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't."

The bearded man looked at Shen Leng and said seriously: "I once had the idea of not making such complicated things, but using a very thick iron pipe to knock out something more powerful, just like a stone-throwing cart throwing a huge stone, but we are throwing gunpowder bullets that are dozens or even hundreds of times more powerful than the stone." ”

He shook his head: "However, it can't be built, it's not that it will never be built, it's not that it can be built at present, we need to build a very large furnace that can melt iron, and then make molten iron into a huge iron pipe, and there are other parts, it's too difficult, it's just an idea, it's not easy to melt the right iron first, I secretly tried it when I was in the workshop, it took a long time to roll an iron pipe to burn the iron red, and then I tried to fire gunpowder, but it exploded." ”

Shen Leng snorted, and the excitement in his heart decreased a little.

It seems that nothing is as simple as it seems.

"Tell the soldiers outside what you need, and they'll provide you with everything."

The bearded man nodded: "Ten days, just like I promised the general before, after ten days I will make the simplest model out, the crossbow array car can shoot hundreds of crossbow arrows, the model is just one of the independent parts, and the general will come back after ten days." ”

Shen Leng nodded and turned to leave.

In the study of the general Yuan Shu, Shen Leng sat there for a while, and the general couldn't help but smile when he looked at him: "There are some things in your temperament that are not calm enough, have you noticed it yourself?" ”

Shen Leng: "I know, but it's not far from starting a war with Heiwu, three or five years have passed in a flash, and I'm anxious." ”

Yuan Shu smiled: "Have you ever thought about it, if there is no such person? ”

Shen sneered: "Isn't there one?" ”

He looked at Yuan Shu and said: "I want to select some of the best craftsmen from the Anyang Dockyard and the Daning Martial Arts Workshop, there is a specialization in the art industry, I don't understand, but it must be easier to communicate between craftsmen and craftsmen." ”

Yuan Shu said: "This is not difficult, what did Your Majesty say?" ”

"Your Majesty said let the beard be made as soon as possible."

"Then I'll write the order."

Yuan Shu of Shantai wrote two credit seals, and then called his soldiers to come over: "Go to the military post and send them to the Daning Anyang Dockyard and the Huanghua Martial Arts Workshop in Gyeonggi Province, so that they can select the best craftsmen as soon as possible after the year." ”

He said to Shen Leng: "The craftsmen of the martial arts workshop in Chang'an City can pick people to be transferred after the New Year. ”

The soldiers took the letter and sent it away, and at the speed of the Daning Military Station, it is estimated that it will be possible to arrive at the Anyang Dock in ten days at the latest, and the martial arts workshop in Gyeonggi Province is estimated to arrive in six or seven days.

"Practicing both hands?"

Yuan Shu smiled: "You haven't been beaten by me for a while." ”

Shen Leng smiled: "I begged bitterly, let me not go out before the year." ”

"Huh?"

Yuan Shu squinted his eyes and glanced at Shen Leng: "You are louder." ”

Shen Leng subconsciously looked out and felt a pair of eyes behind him.

It's already night when he comes home from the general of Shantai, as soon as Shen Leng enters the door, the black mastiff jumps up and pounces on him, Shen Leng wants to hold this behemoth and has to take a step down in the dantian, the big black dog has two paws on Shen Leng's shoulders, and his head rubs against Shen Leng's head.

Holding this guy to the door, Shen Leng threw it to the side: "Eat yourself." ”

The big black dog bit Shen Leng's trouser leg and pulled him out, as if he hadn't had enough fun with Shen Leng.

Shen Leng: "I won't accompany you to eat ......"

The tea master had already cooked the meal, Shen Leng washed his hands and sat down to look at the tea master and smirked: "I went to see Your Majesty today, Your Majesty said that I picked up a treasure and it can be regarded as a credit for Daning, so I was exempted from deducting my twenty years of money, and I was given a hundred taels of gold." ”

The tea master also smiled: "That's good, are you going to come back for eight hundred taels of silver?" ”

Shen Leng: "I'm greedy." ”

Tea Master: "I didn't give it." ”

Shen Leng: "No ......"

Tea Ye was just about to speak, suddenly the corners of his eyebrows raised slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at the armor-breaking sword hanging at the door, Shen Leng immediately reacted and blocked Tea Ye behind him, in fact, he didn't notice anything wrong.

"Mr. Chu?"

The tea master asked tentatively.

"Hmm."

Someone in the courtyard snorted.

Shen Leng hurriedly went over and opened the door, and at a glance, he saw Chu Jianlian standing in the courtyard, standing under the tree and looking up at the red lantern hanging on the tree in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking about at this moment, this kind of worldly master has always had a different brain from a normal person, to be honest, Shen Leng felt that Mr. Chu had never been a normal person.

"When did the gentleman come back?"

"Calculating the day to return from northern Xinjiang, tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve, I rushed a little faster, and arrived one day early."

Chu Jianlian looked at the tea master: "Why didn't you live in the courtyard I sent you, I went over there first." ”

"Cha'er is pregnant."

Shen Leng explained: "I have always lived there before, but I will go on an expedition after the year, and it is safer here in the General's Mansion." ”

The corners of Chu Jianlian's mouth rose slightly: "It turns out that I want to have an apprentice grandson." ”

He stepped into the door and sat down, with dust on his body, but his temperament was dusty.

"I'm going to cook."

Shen Leng made a pot of tea for Chu Jianlian: "Sir, you talk to Cha'er for a while, and I'll do it soon." ”

"No, I just ate some when I entered Chang'an."

Chu Jianlian motioned for Shen Leng to sit down.

"Ning, is it going to be a war with Heiwu?"

"Yes."

Shen Leng asked, "Why did Mr. ask this?" ”

"I'm back from the Black Warriors."

Chu Jian said pitifully: "There are four great sword masters around the Black Martial Khan Emperor, known as unparalleled swordsmanship, and the four of them join forces to defeat thousands of armies, I went to try it, it turned out to be bragging...... However, the strongest in the black martial arts is not the four people, the four people are out of the same door, the Khan Emperor invited the four of them to be personal guards by his side, and then I went to visit the Black Martial Arts Sword Gate, just because I killed the four people and suffered some injuries, and I went after the injuries were healed, and when I arrived at the Sword Gate, I found that the building was empty, and all the people in the Sword Gate were recruited into the army by the Black Warrior Khan Emperor, so I expected that there might be a big war. ”

Shen Leng and Tea Ye said in unison: "How is Mr.'s injury?" ”

"It doesn't matter."

Chu Jianlian smiled, and his heart warmed.

"Shen Leng, you come out."

He got up and walked out, looked at the door and picked up a broom casually, Shen Leng didn't dare to slack off, and followed Chu Jianlian back to the courtyard.

"The sword of the black warriors is different from the swordsmanship of the Central Plains, what they are best at is a two-handed heavy sword, especially the disciples of the sword gate, the sword used is often more than four feet, and even the sword is nearly five feet, the sword body is broad, weighs dozens of catties, and is full of strength, their sword skills are somewhat interesting, if you fight with the black warriors in the future, you may meet the people of the sword gate, because their swords are too heavy and too big, and the sword will look clumsy, so the most powerful thing about the sword gate is to cooperate with the heavy sword, in my opinion, it is to use the sword to control the people."

He held the broom with both hands: "You come to attack me." ”

Shen Leng took a deep breath: "Okay! ”

Half an hour later, the tea master used a warm towel to compress Shen Leng's face, and Shen Leng looked at Chu Jianlian with a sad face: "Although I know that Mr. has good intentions, but tomorrow it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and Mr. hit me with a broom and my head is full of ......."

Chu Jianlian took a sip of tea and smiled slightly.

The tea master also smiled, and felt distressed.

Shen Leng said: "This black martial arts sword technique is indeed a little weird, using the power of the heavy sword to drive people's bodies to move, which catches people off guard, so their heavy sword is secondary, and when the attention is on the sword, it is often injured by people." ”

Then he reacted to one thing: "Sir fought with four heavy sword masters, and the sword was heavy and sharp, Sir's injury?" ”

Chu Jianlian said lightly: "No one can hurt me with a sword." ”

That day, he fought with the four great sword masters, just because the other four had strange methods, he was unprepared for a kick at first, but a person of such strength was heavy enough to kick him.

"You remember."

Chu Jian said pitifully: "If you really meet the disciples of the Black Martial Sword Sect on the battlefield in the future, don't focus on looking at their swords, Central Plains Martial Artists, you watch his moves, look at the shoulders first, even if the strongest person is, it is impossible to make no trace of the shoulders before making the moves, but the disciples of the Black Martial Sword Sect, since their swords are not the focus, then you have to look at their legs more." ”

"Legs?"

Shen Leng closed his eyes, and a picture appeared in his mind.

It was a long time before he opened his eyes and nodded, "Remember." ”

Tea Master said with a smile: "Master is biased, when he comes back, he will teach Leng Zi first, but he will not teach me this serious disciple, he is just a family member of your disciple." ”

Chu Jianlian glanced at the tea master and shook his head slightly: "You? You don't have to. ”

Tea Master: "Why? ”

"You kill with a sword, learn what to do."

Shen Leng: "......"
