Chapter 35: Moonlight

For Ning Zhong's unexpected joy, Yang Wu was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After going ashore, before he had time to return to the Jiedu Embassy, he found a vacant lot and did a simple experiment.

He put a bowl upside down on the ground, put a small amount of black powder in it, and found a fuse to light it. Sure enough, a loud bang was heard, and the bowl was blown apart, and debris flew away, and even a shallow crater was blown out of the ground. Fortunately, Yang Wu and the others avoided far away under Ning Zhong's reminder, so no one was injured.

"This..."Fan Yu's mouth opened wide, he really didn't think that those inconspicuous black powders before would have such great power after being ignited at this moment.

Fan Sicong and Chen Fan stared at the boss even more, they had heard of the "Divine Fire Flying Crow" before, but it was all used to set fires, where could it be so terrifying compared to the explosion in front of them.

After a long time, Chen Fan reacted and said in surprise, "Childe, if this black powder is used to attack the city, we can directly blow up the city gate, and we don't need to let the soldiers climb the city wall." ”

On the side, Fan Sicong also echoed in surprise, "Yes, with this thing in the future, what other city can't be captured by us?" ”

Yang Wu was also very satisfied with the power of the black powder in front of him. Although it is far from the power of the smokeless gunpowder of later generations, it is already very good in this era. In addition, if Ning Zhong can continue to experiment and find a more reasonable ratio in the future, the power of black powder can be further improved at that time.

However, he still has to pour cold water on Chen Fan's thoughts, "You think things are too simple, and it is always people, not things, that determine the victory of the war." Moreover, although the power of black powder is good, the limitations of its use are too great, and it is far from enough to achieve the effect you said. ”

He knew that the firearms technology of the Ming Dynasty in later generations was much more advanced than that of the Mongols and Manchus, but they were often unable to defeat them on the battlefield, which was enough to show that he could not rely too much on black powder, otherwise he would die an ugly death. However, if black powder is used at certain critical times, it may be able to have unexpected effects.

Thinking of this, Yang Wu hurriedly said, "This matter must be kept secret, and no one present should spread the word." Speaking of this, Yang Wu said in a rare stern tone, "If you let me know who spread the word about this matter, I will not be spared!" ”

Everyone was awe-inspiring, and they all made an oath that they didn't dare to spread it, only Ning Zhong nodded indifferently. For him, it was enough to be able to do research, and as for other things, he didn't care much.

After taking the oath, Fan Yu cautiously asked, "Childe, isn't this thing going to be reported to the king?" That's a great achievement. ”

Seeing that everyone looked puzzled, Yang Wu had no choice but to explain, "This black powder is only useful when it is used at critical times, so you must pay attention to secrecy at ordinary times." If it is reported to my father now, you all know that the festival will make the people of the palace talk a lot, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not leak out, and then the enemy will be prepared, and it will be difficult for our army to use this thing again to receive miraculous results. In short, this matter should not be spread except for the people present, understand? ”

"Subordinates understood!" Everyone nodded.

Yang Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he was still a little reckless tonight, and when he was experimenting here, he saw a lot of people next to him, and it was not convenient to keep it secret in the future. Fortunately, most of the people around him were guards around him, people he could trust. The loyalty of these guards has increased significantly during this time, and now the lowest is 3 loyalty. As for Chen Fan, Fan Yu and others, they are basically 5 points of loyalty now, and Yang Wu can use them with complete confidence.

"But in the future, we have to find a way to establish a spy agency, otherwise sooner or later there will be chaos in intelligence investigation and our own secrecy, and the last battle of Renjiazhuang was a loss in intelligence." Yang Wu thought to himself.

After letting Chen Fan and Fan Sicong and his soldiers find a military camp to settle down, Yang Wu took Fan Yu and other guards back to the Jiedu Embassy, and Ning Zhong also went to live in the mansion with him.

There are many houses in the back of the house, and many of them are still empty. Yang Wu quickly found a quiet courtyard for Ning Zhong to live in.

It was getting late at this time, so he did not alarm his family, and after sending the guards to rest, he returned to his courtyard alone.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, before he could take a few steps forward, Yang Wu heard a burst of footsteps in front of him, "Childe, is it you?" ”

Yang Wu was stunned for a moment, and the voice seemed to be Yang Liu. It's so late, it's estimated to be early in the morning, hasn't she slept yet?

"Is it willow?" Yang Wu asked.

"It's me, Childe. You're finally back! Yang Liu walked forward quickly with a happy face.

"It's so late, why haven't you gone to rest yet?"

"I'm waiting for Childe to come back!" Yang Liu said naturally. She was wearing a green Luo skirt, a bun on her head, and a pair of bracelets on her hands, which he had given her the other day.

"I heard from Madame that you will be back today, so I'll wait here for Childe."

"If you want to wait for me to come back, then you can wait in the house, right? It's dark outside, it's windy again, isn't it boring for you to wait here alone? ”

Yang Liu's face turned red, lowered his head, and whispered, "I, I just want to see Childe early, if I wait in the house, maybe I will fall asleep." ”

Today is the sixteenth of June, and the moon in the sky is at its fullest, and the bright moonlight is like water, pouring down from the nine heavens, illuminating the courtyard almost as much as daytime.

Yang Wu looked at Yang Liu's slightly shy cheeks, and couldn't help but be moved. At this moment, except for those patrolling guards, everyone else in the house has gone to sleep now, even Xiaocui has gone to rest, but only Yang Liu is alone under the eaves waiting for him to come back.

He thought of the other people who cared about him. In his previous life, he had a reunion with his classmates and came home late, and his parents were waiting for him outside the door so late.

Thinking of his parents in his previous life, Yang Wu felt a burst of longing.

The dew is white from tonight, and the moon is the hometown of Ming!

"Yang Liu, do you want to sleep now?" Yang Wu asked softly.

Yang Liu was shocked in his heart, "What do you mean by this, Childe?" Does he want me ......? Her heart pounded. Although she was ready to marry her son as a concubine in her heart, she was still young after all, and she was far from being psychologically prepared. "If Childe really means that, what should I do?"

Thinking of this, Yang Liu's head hung lower, and her face turned redder. She said in a small voice, "Childe, I'm not sleepy yet. ”

Yang Wu was still thinking about his parents in his previous life, and he didn't notice Yang Liu's expression at all. When he heard this, he said, "Since you are not sleepy, then talk to me." ”

Yang Liu was ashamed when he heard this, "It turns out that this is what Childe meant, I actually made a joke again just now, but fortunately no one knows." ”

The last time she heard that Yang Wu was going to visit Chen Yanqian, she made a joke, thinking that Yang Wu was going to visit the woman she liked, but she didn't expect to almost misunderstand Yang Wu again this time.

However, after figuring out what Yang Wu meant, she couldn't help but feel lost while breathing a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Although I like Childe, it seems that Childe may not have me in his heart. Is this because I am not beautiful enough, or does my son dislike my low status? She secretly hurt herself in her heart, "Maybe I really don't deserve Childe, I just hope that Childe can find a beautiful and kind girl in the future, so that he can be worthy of Son." ”

Thinking of this, Yang Liu raised his head and said to Yang Wu with a smile, "Childe, if you have anything to say, just say it, the slaves and maids are listening." ”

She used to call herself "I", but now she uses "slave" to call herself "slave" when she feels sorry for herself, but unfortunately Yang Wu didn't hear the change in her tone.
