Chapter 7: The Taste of Conspiracy
Han Xiaofeng went to work at the dock, it was called a relaxed and comfortable, drinking tea every morning, and watching Long Sen lead the guards to practice boxing. In the evening, count the goods, check the wages and finish the work.
It's no longer so boring at night, and these old men on duty drink and fight, as long as they don't get drunk, it's okay, and the management is quite loose, although these people look fierce and vicious, but they have a bold personality and get along well.
Women are an eternal topic among men, and today Long Sen and Han Xiaofeng are discussing which young lady has long legs and which young lady has a round buttocks.
Suddenly, a strange smell wafted in, and Han Xiaofeng asked Long Sen on the side, "Brother Long, what kind of smell is this, weird." ”
Long Sen said disapprovingly, "The goods in this dock are strange every day, maybe they are medicinal herbs, and it is normal to be weird." ”
Han Xiaofeng didn't think so, and looked for the taste and saw Li Kui carrying a bag towards the warehouse. Han Xiaofeng hurriedly stopped Li Kui.
Li Kui heard someone calling him, and quickly held his footsteps, "Brother Han, what are you calling me?" ”
Han Xiaofeng walked over and touched the sack, a layer of gray-white powder on it, I wiped it, isn't this gunpowder, I said how can this smell be so familiar, and there are so many, is this going to be fireworks or what to do.
Han Xiaofeng asked Li Kui, "Do you know what you are carrying on your shoulders?" How many? ”
Li Kui didn't know why, and said, "This is a medicinal herb, the owner said it, and told us to be careful, it's very valuable, there are about fifty or sixty bags." ”
I rubbed fifty or sixty bags, an average of sixty pounds per bag. This is more than 3,000 catties, although the purity is not high, but it is enough to plunge this area into a sea of fire.
Han Xiaofeng didn't know who the owner of the goods was and what his intentions were, but such a dangerous thing couldn't be put together with other goods in the warehouse. If there's any danger, it's a chicken.
Han Xiaofeng seemed to smell the smell of conspiracy, and whispered a few words to Li Kui, and Li Kui left with the goods.
Han Xiaofeng found Long Sen and asked, "Brother Long, do you know what gunpowder is?" ”
Long Sen looked confused: "Gunpowder? I don't know, you kid wants to see a doctor, I know that a Lang Zhong is very powerful, why don't I take you to see it? ”
Han Xiaofeng also felt strange, although this gunpowder was discovered by alchemists very early. But this destructive black powder was only invented at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Now there are sixty or seventy bags here, and it seems that someone has invented gunpowder a long time ago, but it has not been made public.
Could it be that my crossing changed the course of history and brought history forward? Wouldn't I, be so dignified? I didn't believe it the first one.
Han Xiaofeng tested Long Sen and couldn't see anything unusual. And he is also Liu Sheng's confidant, so he must be trustworthy. He didn't try again, but smiled and said, "I read a medical book before." Said that this flavor should be eaten to be able to count the number of women at night.,I want to see if there's this flavor medicine.,I want you to try it.。 ”
As soon as Long Sen heard it, he said, "Go, go, brother, what kind of thing does my kung fu need?" ”
Han Xiaofeng sneered, "I don't know who came back with his waist the night before yesterday." ”
Long Sen pretended to be crazy and stupid, and said with a blank face, "Is there such a thing?" How I don't know. ”
Han Xiaofeng was not joking, and said to Long Sen, "Brother Long, I saw that thing in a book just now, it is a very dangerous thing, once it encounters an open flame, it will quickly burn, and even explode." ”
When Long Sen heard this, he was also a little vain, "What do you mean?" ”
"As a precautionary measure, since others take care of our business, of course we can treat each other with sincerity." Han Xiaofeng said confidently.
"Do it tonight..." Han Xiaofeng said softly in Long Sen's ear.
When Long Sen heard this, his face was full of excitement, "Brother Han is really resourceful, I admire and admire him." ”
Han Xiaofeng said modestly, "Wherever you are, it's a little bit stronger than you, hahaha." Go drinking, go fishing at night. ”
The two of them hooked their shoulders to find the kitchen, and Han Xiaofeng said, "Brother Long, today the younger brother will show you a hand, let you change your taste, and see what it means to eat tastefully and have a sense of ceremony." ”
Han Xiaofeng found good ingredients, ginger, onions, garlic, peppercorns, and a little star anise and other spices. The only pity is that there is no chili pepper as the main ingredient, otherwise the taste would be even better.
Long Sen smelled the smell from afar, and exclaimed, "Brother Han, what are you doing, it's so fucking fragrant, I've never eaten it." ”
Han Xiaofeng said, "Of course you haven't eaten it, this is something from my family recipe." It's not something that everyone can eat, so I'm happy today and open your eyes. ”
Long Sen looked dog-legged, "Dele, thank you Uncle Han for your love." It's not tasty, I don't fix you. ”
Han Xiaofeng was afraid that it would not taste spicy, so he used up all the ginger. After a while, a pot of spicy boiled fish with moss was cooked, and Long Sen began to say that it was spicy, but he was happier than anyone else, and the spicier it was, the more he drank, and it looked like a monkey's buttocks.
The two drank a little wine and ate hotly, saying that the alcohol in the Tang Dynasty was low in degree, and the distillation technology was not up to standard, it was estimated that it was only about 20 degrees, which was similar to the sake I drank when I was a child. Han Xiaofeng didn't dare to say that he was not drunk after a thousand cups, and it was not a problem to drink two or three catties. Alas, I miss my second pot head, that's what you drink is called wine.
Long Sen said vaguely, "Brother Han, it's a pity that you don't open a restaurant." ”
The speaker has no intention of listening, and the listener has the intention, isn't this opening a restaurant a way to make a fortune. But if you want to open a restaurant, you don't have to think about a few thousand taels of silver, so you can rely on your own twenty taels of monthly salary to estimate that it will be decades later. Alas, sorrowful, sorrowful, sorrowful.
This business is a low-cost, high-profit, and fast-making business. Drug trafficking? It seems that he doesn't have the ability to make it. Cosmetics? Nor will it. Ammunition? This is yes, when I was a child, I made a gunpowder gun with iron beads to shoot birds, but I didn't want to be killed early.
Long Sen raised his glass and said, "Come on, come on, it's dry, what's the matter." There's wine and food here, miss the girls? ”
Han Xiaofeng scolded with a smile, "Yes, I miss your wife." ”
Long Sen didn't care about these innocuous jokes, and laughed and scolded, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, Deler." I'll also drink less, and I'll have business in the evening, so I'll go to the warehouse first, don't mess up those bunnies. ”
Han Xiaofeng didn't stay either, and drank alone. The more you drink this liquor, the more boring it becomes, and this distilled liquor itself will, but I don't know if there is a market for this high-grade liquor in the Tang Dynasty.
In the middle of the night, the dock was empty of goods. Han Xiaofeng and Long Sen sat quietly in the room, sometimes looking out the window, sometimes lying on the bed, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. If only I could have a cigarette now.
Han Xiaofeng was now beside the bed, and muttered, "The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, and the autumn is high and the sky is over." It's a good day. ”
Long Sen said: "Look at your kid Si Swenwen, you are quite good at killing people and setting fires." ”
Han Xiaofeng didn't answer, I can't say that I will naturally watch too many TV series.
"Chirp chirp..." Suddenly, a few crisp bird calls sounded outside the house, and Han Xiaofeng knew that the fish had bitten the hook. Han Xiaofeng was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Through the crack in the window, Han Xiaofeng saw dozens of black shadows rushing down with lightning speed, the thud of the bow and crossbow, and the pop of the crossbow bolt piercing into the body.
At the same time, about ten people with scimitars in their hands rushed towards their side, and one of the guards was cut in the throat with a knife just as he wanted to shout, and he could only cover his throat with both hands and make a whining sound.
Almost all of the guards fell in a pool of blood in an instant before they could react, and even struggling became a luxury.
I used to watch these plots in TV dramas and felt nothing, but now I feel what is mad and cruel when I see it with my own eyes.
Han Xiaofeng suddenly felt that things were not so simple, so he asked Long Sen, "Brother Long, you are also a practitioner, do you think that with your skills, you can go under these people for a few rounds." ”
Long Sen said: "With my skills, I will definitely die for five rounds." ”
Han Xiaofeng asked again, "Based on your understanding of the Red Tiger Gang, is there such a master in their gang?" ”
Long Sen smiled and said, "Brother Han, you are so smart sometimes, why are you so stupid sometimes." If I had such skills, I would still be rolling in the mud in a small place here? I would have been a general a long time ago. ”
Han Xiaofeng was taken aback, yes. I didn't think of that. Such murderous and well-trained people can only be trained by the army.
"Brother Long, it seems that the fish caught this time is a really big fish, and it is so big that we can't imagine it."
Just as a few men in black rushed to the bottom of the building, all the attic windows were opened, and dozens of bows and arrows were shot out in an instant. The man in black didn't expect an ambush, and in an instant, seven or eight people were shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground.
Although more than a dozen people were injured, they still had combat effectiveness, which shows how strong these people really are.
Suddenly, there was an "Boom" arrow from the attic, and the warehouse was instantly surrounded by government soldiers.
The man in black saw that the situation had changed, and he wanted to break through. Regardless of their lives, the black-clothed men in the warehouse carried two bags of gunpowder on their shoulders and ran as fast as possible to break through to the top of the mountain.
The overall situation has been decided, Han Xiaofeng walked out of the attic, a pungent bloody breath came to his face, and seeing the hideous appearance of the guard lying in a pool of blood, Han Xiaofeng vomited.
