There were many shadows in the forest, Han Cheng clapped his hands and followed the sound of hurried footsteps, and saw one or twenty men in strong suits coming with knives, and stepped forward to bow and said, "I've seen President Han!" ”

Han Cheng pointed at Ma Du, "This is the Ma Shumi who will be in charge of the Firearms Bureau in the future, and it was personally appointed by the prince, so you have to recognize it clearly, don't rush indiscriminately." ”

The men raised their heads and stared at Ma Du, "I've seen Ma Shumi!" ”

"The safety of the Firearms Bureau is up to you!" Ma Du arched his hand, these people should be the sentinels arranged by Lao Zhu, and he pointed to Zhang Wuliu behind him, "This is my long-term follower, his name is Zhang Wuliu, and he will follow me!" ”

Zhang Wuliu immediately straightened his chest and raised his head high, Lao Liu had already gone to Chuzhou to pick up his family, and now Ma Du only had this one long-term follower.

Han Cheng waved his hand, and these sentries immediately dispersed. Ma Du asked Han Cheng, "The two people at the tea stall at the intersection are also your people." ”

"Yes! How do you know? ”

"What's there to guess about this, the tea stalls are all old and weak, women and children, who has seen two strong men set up stalls. And the tea is boiled black and not slippery, like a medicinal soup, and the taste should not be very good. ”

Han Cheng shook his head, "It's very bitter!" ”

The three of them walked along the path through the woods, and the scenery immediately changed before them, with rugged low hills, large thickets and grasses, and the occasional large stone that had begun to weathered and peeled.

After walking for about a mile along the path, I came to a place where the terrain was slightly flat, and I saw a large courtyard built against the mountain.

Madu felt that this place was more like a small city, but the courtyard walls were high and thick, and there were still people standing on them, and there were heavy guards in front of the door, and Madu looked like a prison.

Han Cheng smiled, "It's almost the same to say that this is a prison cell, it's not something that can be entered and exited casually." ”

Han Cheng took the waist card from the guard at the door, and he handed it to Ma Du, "The person outside doesn't look at the waist card, and the guards here don't look at the waist card, you have to put the waist card away, don't be stolen!" ”

"Lao Han doesn't have to do this, firearms are all available in Zhang Shicheng and the Mengyuan Imperial Court, is it necessary to be so guarded."

Han Cheng said with a smile: "The main thing is not to keep it secret, but for safety, there are many people in the city, do you know that the fire in the firearms workshop last time was not an accident, it was deliberately done by someone." ”

"Oh, whose people?" Madu was a little surprised, it seems that spy war stories are indispensable in ancient and modern wars.

Han Cheng shook his head, "I don't know, that person has already been burned to death, but it is very likely to be Zhang Shicheng's person." He knew that the prince was going to clean him up, and he didn't have a firearm as sharp as the prince, so it was most likely that some shady tricks would come to burn our firearms workshop. ”

The two talked and chatted, and Han Cheng took Ma Du into a small courtyard, which should be an office area. As soon as I entered the house, I met an old acquaintance, it turned out to be Zhao Desheng, who was sitting on a chair guarding a brazier to bake the fire.

When Zhao Desheng saw Ma Du, he got up with a smile, "Brother Ma, you're here, my old Zhao has been waiting for you for a long time, haha......" Enthusiastically hugged Ma Du and slapped it for a while, and then let go.

Ma Du let go of him, "Marshal Zhao, why are you here!" ”

"Of course I'm partnering with you, you're in charge of affairs, and I'm in charge of guarding!" Zhao Desheng was cut off his waist, his body was much weaker, and many injuries that had not yet appeared before ran out.

It's okay to recuperate at home, and it is impossible to continue the battle of eating and sleeping in the open. Zhao Desheng didn't want to be a waste at home, so he ran to ask Lao Zhu, and there happened to be such an errand as the Firearms Bureau, which was simply tailor-made for Lao Zhao, so he sent him over.

There can't be any fierce battles here, it's overkill, and Lao Zhu is just passing the time for him. finally came into play, but Lao Zhao was very happy, even if the Firearms Bureau was repaired like a prison, he still came in a hurry.

Being able to work with acquaintances is better than strangers, Ma Du is the same joy in his heart, Zhao Desheng also asked his son to visit the house on the third day of junior high school, and sent a lot of things, Ma Du also wanted to see how he was doing after this busy period, but he didn't expect to meet here.

"Marshal Zhao, how are you doing?"

"I can eat and drink, it's not a big deal, it's just that when it's cold, it's very cold, no, I'm still baking a brazier after spring."

Han Cheng said: "You Hei Zhao Sui also asked for it, how good it is to stay at home and enjoy happiness, you have to ask for an errand." ”

"Enjoy the blessing of a fart, I stayed at home until my bones were about to rust, and I always felt that something was missing when I left the army, and my heart was empty. Now I see someone wearing armor swaying in front of my eyes, I feel a lot more comfortable, and I am even happier to be able to work with Brother Ma! ”

Han Cheng smiled: "It's good if you're happy, but the errand here is very important, so you can't delay the errand." Ma Shumi is still young after all, you need to mention more. ”

"Don't worry, let's go! I'll take Brother Ma around to take a look! Zhao Desheng asked his soldiers to extinguish the charcoal basin, and made a big skin to wrap around his body, and said helplessly: "If you don't pay attention to it, you will easily get caught in the cold, and you are more delicate than the eldest lady!" ”

No matter who has a kidney cut off, the immunity will be much worse, but it is not something that can be changed by the power of the medicine stone.

Ma Du said: "Marshal Zhao don't worry, I'll teach you a set of ways to strengthen your body another day." ”

"Haha...... Great, by the way, don't shout any more marshals, call big brother, there are no outsiders here, I'm just like Han Cheng is blind. ”

Han Cheng is doing things next to Lao Zhu, naturally he can't be as casual as others, Ma Du rarely sees him called a brother and sister, and no one is stupid to have a relationship with Han Chengpan, what are you doing when you get so close to Lao Zhu's head of the guard, do you want to die?

"Master Ma, the marshal of my family can be promoted now, and he is a fellow of the Privy Council!" Zhao Desheng's personal soldiers said on the side, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked by Zhao Desheng.

"An empty title, what are you fooling about! Whoever has it is in charge of the three hundred soldiers in the Privy Council. ”

Ma Du looked at the pro-soldier, "Aren't you Zhao Dashan?" ”

The soldier rubbed his cheeks, "It's me, I didn't expect the adults to remember me!" ”

"Of course, you were going to beat me up, I was scared to death, how could I not remember you, haha......"

Lao Zhu's firearms bureau was built larger than Ma Du expected, and it was divided into three areas in total. One was a living quarter, where soldiers and craftsmen could rest and eat, and an office area.

The second area is where firearms can be made, this area is very small, and the main purpose here is to provide Madu with the conditions to improve firearms, and more firearms are still produced in the city.

The third area is also the largest and most heavily guarded.
