Chapter 419: False alarm

(Xie: Lu Sisen, im65, and the monthly tickets of the brothers with Yuli Hua 1957.) )

Several strange-looking masks were taken out, and it was evident that they were much larger than the ones that had been worn on the monkey just now. The protruding part resembles the long mouth of a boar, and it is a thick bamboo tube wrapped in skin. Ropes are attached on both sides for easy attachment to the head and neck.

Wang Yuan picked one up, checked it, and began to put it on his face. Li Mi said in a deep voice: "Vice Marshal Wang, do you really want to risk yourself?" This is no joke. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "There's no way, if there is no way to resist the poisonous miasma, there is no need to fight with Ge Luofeng in the future." Can any of you tell me what can be used to resist the miasma attack? ”

Li Mi frowned and was speechless, and suddenly stepped out and said, "In this case, the old man will test this thing with you." ”

Before Wang Yuan could speak, Liu Dehai also stood up and said, "Deputy Marshal, I will also go in with you." ”

As soon as Li Mi and Liu Dehai stood up, more than a dozen generals who participated in the Battle of Netzhou also shouted, expressing their willingness to take the risk to test the efficacy of this substance for Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan was a little moved in his heart, only then could he see who was really good to himself, Liu Dehai needless to say, he and Li Mi had only known each other for less than ten days, and Li Mi was able to stand up and share the danger with him, which shows that this person can be friends. As for the other generals, it cannot be ruled out that they are sincere requests, but maybe they are also forced by the situation, but it is enough to have this heart.

"Thank you for your kindness, but why bother everyone to risk, I said, this is something I made, I don't want any of you to pay for me, I am enough for one person."

"Deputy marshal, if you make a mistake, we don't have to fight this battle. It's easy to usher in a turnaround, how can the deputy marshal get involved in danger, and he has to take the overall situation into account. Li Mi said in a deep voice.

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "Do you really think I don't count in my heart? I'll tell you the truth, I've done this test many times, and I just want you to see for yourself what this thing does, otherwise how would you believe it? However, I am very grateful for your concern, but don't worry, it will be fine. ”

Wang Yuan put on a mask on his face, carefully tied it firmly, tried that there was no air leakage, and turned around and walked to the door of the west wing. The slave sent the poison sac, Wang Yuan took a lot of them and stepped into the house, turned around and closed the wooden door with a 'clang'.

Everyone held their breath and listened to the movement inside, and then they heard the sound of 'fluttering and fluttering' inside, which was the sound of the poison sac bursting, and everyone silently counted the sounds, and it has been sounding more than a dozen times in a row, obviously Wang Yuan has increased the concentration of the poisonous miasma.

What followed was a deathly silence, and the people standing outside were actually not happy in their hearts, although Vice Marshal Wang said that it was fine, but everyone knew that it was a pervasive poisonous gas, and those who had seen the power of the miasma knew that it was definitely not a joke.

Time passed slowly, and although it didn't take long, everyone felt that it was a long time. Li Mi finally couldn't help it, and shouted to the servants: "It's almost over, let go of the poisonous miasma, and ask the deputy marshal to come out." ”

A servant said: "General Li, Deputy Marshal Wang has instructed that each test must be full of half a pillar of incense time, and it is not allowed to terminate until the time is reached, otherwise I don't know the effect." ”

Li Mi scolded angrily, but he was helpless. Finally, the time came, and the roof window opened, and a thick cloud of smoke emerged from the skylight, blown away by the strong wind. But even so, everyone standing far away could still smell a strange irritating smell, and some people even felt a little dizzy and vomited, which shows that this time the poisonous miasma is strong and poisonous.

Everyone couldn't help but sweat for Wang Yuan, the crazy deputy marshal Wang played too hard, and he really wanted to die here. An official who is in such a high position as the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu but is so willing to spare his life, I am afraid that I will only see this one in my life.

The miasma dissipated, and the crowd poured into the house, and the servants removed the quilt from the wooden door, but saw that the wooden door was closed. Listen closely, there is no sound inside.

Li Mi stepped forward and pushed the door, but found that it was not moving, obviously tied to the door bolt from the inside. So he slapped twice and shouted: "Vice Marshal Wang, Vice Marshal Wang, are you okay?" ”

There was no sound at all, Li Mi sensed that something was wrong, and shouted, "Knock on the door." ”

Before the servants stepped forward, Liu Dehai and several generals had already slammed into the wooden door with their arms crossed, the wooden door was designed to isolate gas, which was naturally tightly fitted and thickened, and several generals did not even crash into it several times. Everyone was even more anxious, Li Mi personally went into battle and three or four generals slammed the door several times, and finally slammed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, everyone was shocked, because they all saw a person lying on the ground, obviously it was Deputy Marshal Wang, and it seemed that something big had happened. Everyone's hearts were pounding, and they hurriedly poured into the house, but because they were wearing masks, they couldn't see Wang Yuan's face clearly, but they heard the sound of whirring breathing from the bamboo tube.

"Not dead, Vice Marshal Wang is not dead." One of the generals shouted in surprise.

Everyone immediately pulled their arms and legs to carry Wang Yuan to the courtyard, and as soon as he put it on the ground, Wang Yuan sat up by himself, everyone hurriedly took off their masks, Wang Yuan took a deep breath and stood up.

"Vice Marshal Wang, how do you feel? There's nothing uncomfortable about it. ”

"Vice Marshal Wang, are you dizzy? Want to throw up? ”

"Brother Wang, how are you?"

Xian Yu Zhongtong and Li Mi and others asked nonsense. Wang Yuan waved his hand in his ear and said loudly: "What did you say?" ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong was stunned and said: "Oh no, my ears are deaf." ”

But seeing that Wang Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something, he reached out and took out two cotton balls from his ears to throw them away, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I forgot to take out the cotton balls that blocked my ears, I was worried that the poisonous gas would be harmful if it entered my ears, just in case my ears were blocked." ”

Everyone laughed and laughed, and then they understood why there was no response when they knocked on the door just now, it turned out that the deputy envoy blocked his ears, so he couldn't hear anything.

Xian Yu Zhongtong stretched his neck and said, "Is there any discomfort on your body?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "How can there be half discomfort, I said earlier, this mask is very effective." ”

Li Mi sighed: "Thank God, it's okay, the moment I knocked on the door just now, I saw you lying on the ground, and I thought you were ...... Phew, you can't talk nonsense. No taboos, no taboos. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "I was bored waiting, so I lay on the ground and squinted for a while." I knew I should bring someone with me, so let's have a chat. ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong glared and scolded with a smile: "It turns out that you are asleep?" Brother Wang, you're going to scare us to death. You're so relieved. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Let the big marshal worry." Dashuai has seen the effect of this mask with his own eyes, with this, why not be afraid of the poisonous miasma of the Nanzhao people? ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong laughed and said: "I have seen it, it is really magical." I'm curious to know why this is so useful. ”

Wang Yuan picked up a mask, asked a general for a dagger, stabbed Lala to cut the bast on the outside, took out a green bamboo tube about a few inches long from the inside, and picked it up to show everyone. But I saw that the bamboo knuckles under the bamboo tube were densely packed with small eyes, and there was an opening above.

"It is the things here that suck all the poisonous miasma away, and the poisonous miasma enters through the small hole below, and when it reaches the upper breath, the breath in the mouth is no longer poisonous, and it is no different from the breath of ordinary breathing."

Xian Yu Zhongtong took the bamboo tube, felt that his hand was slightly heavy, and looked into it from above, but he saw that it was black and filled with things, and he smelled it and didn't know what it was.

Wang Yuan didn't wait for him to ask, reached out and took the bamboo tube, cut it open with a dagger, took out the cylindrical black thing inside, and said: "This thing is called activated charcoal, which is a special charcoal that is different from charcoal but can be made from charcoal. ”

Everyone didn't understand what Wang Yuan was talking about at all, and they all looked at Wang Yuan in a daze.

"How do you know this...... Live...... Can charcoal suck away drug miasma? Xian Yu Zhongtong asked in amazement.

Wang Yuan didn't want to explain too much to them, so he said: "I have time to tell you slowly in the future, what I want to say is that this activated charcoal is the main material for making this anti-gas miasma mask." It is not the same as ordinary charcoal, but it can be soaked in charcoal and grass ash water. Then put it in a copper pot and cook it three times and dry it to get this activated carbon. And what I'm going to ask Xian Yu to do for me is to make this charcoal, so that I can have enough raw materials to make masks. ”

Xian Yuzhong channel: "This is the second thing you asked me to do?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Exactly, this matter is not difficult, just spend some money and manpower and material resources, there is not so much manpower in Wangzhou, so I want to ask Xian Yu Dashuai to get a few workshops in Chengdu to produce this thing continuously." I will let Liu Xunzhi guide the specific process and production method on the spot, and the marshal must make at least 50,000 masks for the soldiers within half a month. Time is pressing, I know that this matter will definitely make Da Shuai tired and busy, but in order to crusade against Ge Luofeng and recapture Yaozhou as soon as possible, I hope Da Shuai can agree to my request. ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong was a businessman, and he soon realized how much manpower and money it would cost. No wonder Wang Yuan asked to do it himself. Charcoal burning, making live charcoal, then loading bamboo tubes, and sewing masks with leather all require a lot of manpower and material resources. It will cost 50,000 in half a month, and it will be continuously supplied in the future, and countless money will be consumed. The point is that there is no place to account for this money and goods, and it will be rejected by the imperial court if it is counted as military expenses, so do you have to pay for it yourself?

Xian Yu Zhongtong couldn't help but hate itchy, this kid is simply a vampire, spending money like running water, and he doesn't care if he lives or dies. But now it is up to him to turn the tide and save the defeat, no matter what, this matter must be followed. It's a big deal to embezzle the money from Jiannan Province to make it, and when he pats his ass and goes to the capital to be Jing Zhaoyin, the mess here is not for him to clean up by himself.

Thinking of this, Xian Yu Zhongtong said with a smile: "This matter is the responsibility of the commander, and he will send 50,000 masks to the soldiers within half a month." Today's eye-opener, Vice Marshal Wang is really the nemesis of Nanzhao, once this thing is equipped, Nanzhao will be extinguished in the near future. ”
