After a while, the waiter in the store brought the meal up, and one of the men asked if there was any good wine, and the waiter took another bottle of white sheep wine and put it on the table. The two men didn't seem to be in a hurry to eat, reached out and took the porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and poured two bowls of pure and sweet liquor, one of them picked it up, first dried a bowl, and then poured it on, and then drank it slowly, and the two of them ate and drank until the morning when the restaurant was closed.

Two people turned the corner, one of them went west, and the man was left staring at the restaurant that had closed the door in the dark, and the four words on the restaurant were particularly eye-catching under the light: Hongyan Restaurant. After a while, the man who had just left came back from the south, walked into the shadows, and said to the people who were waiting, "It's time to live here." ”

The man who was waiting whispered, "Come back tomorrow, find out, and tell the manager." There is no reward for a small amount. The two men followed the dark shadows on the side of the street to the east.

Hongyan Restaurant has two entrances in front and back, two hired women in front of it to rest and rest, and a two-story single-story building in the back. The candles in the colored windows on the second floor are reflected, and a pretty figure is reflected on the window paper, looking extremely lonely.

Yelu Yu Liyan had already changed into pajamas and sat on the edge of the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy, and the silver bottle urged him a few times, but he didn't pay attention to it. The more she gets tired of this indifferent and ruthless world, the more she always inexplicably remembers that day when she and her brother went to Xishan to relax, and the figure of that person always inadvertently appears in her mind. The one who led the tiger away from her and turned his back to the mountain, as if he was one with the mountain, and there was no trace of fear on his face, he dashingly threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, drew his sword on his chest, knelt down, and leaned back......

At that critical moment, the world in her eyes seemed to be still, and only his flowing movements were deeply imprinted in her mind.

It was evident that he was just a mountain hunter, but he stepped forward and saved her; He was supposed to be just looking for food and clothing, but he knew that the golden people had come in; He also asked Hu Dugu to tell him when he came back that his younger brother would not be allowed to be a traitor this spring......

It is more quiet, but the lone lamp on the wall reflects each other. The remnant moon shadow, how to spend the night forever?

The ghost is not sleeping, but some people are not sleeping. Zhou Nan was still in the room where he lived, contemplating in front of a swarthy object as big as an altar on the table. This is what he told the eleven craftsmen a few days ago. He only said that he was going to make a thunderstorm, but those craftsmen were serious, and within a few days they invited him to a mountain col to watch, and deliberately chose the graceful time of a month on the willow tops.

As a result, it doesn't matter if there is a thunderstorm, the next day the people in the village are all wearing the mountain demon in the mountains last night, driving the red light.

Zhou Nan was watching from the sidelines, and he was speechless after watching it: the craftsmen put gunpowder in a big jar, and they didn't stay away after lighting it, Zhou Nan was so anxious that he shouted for them to dodge, these craftsmen giggled and laughed Zhou Nan made a fuss, like a Liao person.

It was indeed Zhou Nan who made a fuss, and when that thing broke out, it was the same as the fireworks show that Zhou Nan watched when he was a child: I saw that first a red light came out of the mouth of the altar, then there was a muffled sound, and finally a puff of smoke rushed out - the common people saw the red light and black smoke from a distance, not to mention the mountain monster.

Only then did Zhou Nan realize that he had made a mistake, the gunpowder at this time had not yet reached the power of the explosion, at most it was deflagration, as it was written in the book, at the beginning, it was to rely on the flash and sound of gunpowder to scare the enemy, not the shock wave when it really exploded.

Although I hurried and hurried, after building the wall, I arranged all aspects of the manpower in the wall, and in a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of April. In the fourth month of the lunar calendar on the Jizhong Plain, there is already a late spring scene, and in the depths of the Taihang Mountain, the people in the village have not yet removed their winter clothes. Zhou Nan's heart was like fire, not hot with excitement, but anxious. He knew that in May 1122, the Song Dynasty's 100,000 troops would reach the border of Hebei, and the Song Dynasty's journey to death would begin. Although the history of the war between the Liao and Song dynasties did not affect here, who knows if the unrecorded war was fought here? This Taihang Eight Paths is a battleground for battle, one of the Eight Paths of Bauhinia Pass can be just behind Sanssouci Zhai Mountain, when the time comes, who can guarantee that no one will call here? Without this paradise, how can he hold his return base? These days, Zhou Nan is worried about this, what he has to do now is to make the Family Protector stronger.

After all, there are few people in the cottage, and now there are only more than 100 people in the family protection society, if it fights with an army of thousands of people, it will be an egg to hit a stone. If you want to be invincible, the most important thing is to rely on "amazing skills". This gunpowder weapon is what Zhou Nan values the most.

After thinking about it all night, Zhou Nan went to find Liu Zongwang the next day. A few days ago, he asked Liu Zongwang to find these eleven craftsmen, and registered these craftsmen one by one, at that time these craftsmen thought that they were going to be sent to the official, and later Liu Zongwang explained to them, saying that this was the order of the owner of the village, and promised to let them settle in the village without worrying about it, and these people were grateful one by one. Zhou Nan found Liu Zongwang on a hillside in the northeast corner of the cottage. Since these eleven craftsmen joined Sanssouci Village, they have found a place to build a house to live in, and in order to make it easier to work, the artisan room has been built around the house. Liu Zongwang is here, fiddling with some utensils with craftsmen.

Zhou Nan asked Liu Zongwang to find these craftsmen, this is the first time that Zhou Nan has had the opportunity to sit down with these craftsmen after they arrived at the cottage. Zhou Nan is also very attentive to these craftsmen of the Song Dynasty, these are all talents, and at any time, these technical talents are the most important.

Zhou Nan asked one by one, and these craftsmen also answered truthfully. It turned out that of these eleven people, ten of them were craftsmen of the Cizhou Metropolitan Workshop, and one person was a gunpowder craftsman in the Higashi Hiro Preparation in Tokyo City. The craftsmen of these ten Cizhou capital institutes were all unbearable to be exploited by the capital courtyard, so they discussed the collective escape. In fact, most of them were sold by the chief of the prison to work, and the money went to the chief of prison, and the craftsmen worked all day without rest, saying that they were hired craftsmen to work, but in fact, they only gave one person rice and grain every day, and they couldn't even eat enough to eat, so the craftsmen in the courtyard fled a lot. There are ten of them, including Cai Xianzhong for the big furnace, Zhu Xian for the small furnace, Li Dayong for the arrow, Sun Ning, Liu Xin for the vest, Yue Xing, Feng Dazhong for the lacquer, Shen Ding for the wood, Sun Rong, and Wang Jing for the bow and crossbow, all of whom are natives of Cizhou, and they have no worries at home, so they dare to escape from the capital courtyard. After the ten people escaped, they went west into the mountains, and wanted to go to Taiyuan, but they met Li Neng and Zhu Gui, and they were coerced into the gang. The craftsman in Tokyo Guangbei is called Guo Xingzu, a person from Bianjing, who was originally a craftsman who made gunpowder in Dongguang Beizuo in Tokyo, and this time he came to Cizhou with the escort of gunpowder soldiers, and he had already had the intention to leave Guangbeizuo, but he caught Cai Xianzhong's ten people and fled, so he also ran out. But I didn't want to, and by coincidence, I came to Sanssouci Village. These craftsmen have been working in this cottage these days, although they are tired, but the people in the cottage respect them, and no one bullies them, so they are happy to live here.

Zhou Nan was very interested in the gunpowder of the Song Dynasty, so he asked Guo Xingzu: "What kind of firearms are used for gunpowder in the Southern Dynasty?" ”
