In the corner of the wooden room, however, a square hole appeared, and a stone staircase leading to the ground appeared inside, and a faint light could be seen in it.

"Lord, I'll go down and have a look first," Han Gang plucked up his courage and said.

"Let's go down together and take the torch," Xiao Chuan finished speaking, and the Yellow Turban Army and the homeless people took out their weapons.

Xiao Chuan took a deep breath, and several Yellow Turban soldiers next to him clung to him, in case of danger, they could block him from the fatal blow.

Walking down the stone steps, the air inside suddenly became cold, and there was a musty smell in the air.

The stone steps are not high, only more than twenty steps, and when I came inside, there was a rather large basement, and I don't know how these bandits built it.

"Bandit thief, I will never give in, you don't have to come again, get out" An old voice came, and the voice was thick.

Hearing this strange words, Xiao Chuan and the others looked over, but it was an iron cage, and in the iron cage were four people dressed in white.

Three young men followed an old man, the old man was in his fifties, his hair was a little gray, but he looked radiant.

On the other hand, the three young men next to him looked decadent.

The old man looked at Xiaochuan and the others, and said coldly: "You group of bandits, after I die, old man, you will not be happy, and my Ming Dynasty will not let you go."

The old man regarded Xiaochuan and the others as bandits, and Wang Youcai explained on the side: "Don't shout, old man, the bandits have been eliminated by us."

Hearing Wang Youcai say this, the three young men immediately stood up, their faces full of excitement, but the old man was a little strange, glanced at Xiaochuan and a few people, and said disdainfully: "Old man, I see what you are wearing, that is, a group of refugees, how can you fight with the bandits, how can you eliminate this gang of bandits?" ”

Listening to the words that this old man looked down on, Xiaochuan and the others didn't want to see this old man in general, but Wang Youcai said angrily: "Old guy, listen carefully, I am a member of the Ming Dynasty, a scholar, not a homeless person."

The young man who was locked up inside knew the old man's temper, and hurriedly compensated Xiaochuan and the others.

After releasing the old man, the old man knew the ins and outs of Xiaochuan's affairs, touched his beard, looked at Wang Youcai and said disdainfully: "Isn't it a group of homeless, but it's a little luckier to catch up with the thieves and set out." ”

The first of the three young men hurriedly dropped the old man's arm, looked apologetic at Xiaochuan and the others, and hugged his fists and said: "I'm sorry, everyone, my master has a strange temper, don't be surprised, I, Wang Dazhu, have thanked a few benevolent fathers here, these two are my two younger brothers, Wang Erzhu, and Wang Sanzhu"

Xiao Chuan hugged his fists at the three of them one by one and said hello, the old man snorted coldly, glanced at Xiao Chuan, and said lightly: "The old man has thanked him here" and walked out.

After watching the old man walk out, Wang Dazhu sighed and said, "I'm sorry, my master has always had a bad temper, he is a very good person, but he can't control himself when he speaks!" ”

"Hmph, I think you are much better than your master" Wang Youcai nodded, very disgusted with this kid's attitude.

Xiao Chuan asked strangely: "You said that he is your master, but you don't know what kind of craftsman you are."

"We turned out to be Yang Shuai's artillery battalion," Wang Dazhu sighed.

"Could it be Yang Zhaoji, Yang Shuai!" Han Gang's face changed and he said in surprise.

"Exactly!" Wang Dazhu was a little proud, and said gloomily: "That day we were defeated, the brothers in the artillery battalion basically ran out, my master and I fled to the mountains, but we didn't want every bandit to intercept us, but one of the bandits recognized the three of us, they had a cannon and didn't know how to use it, and wanted us to help him, my master would rather die, and they would have locked up the four of us master and apprentice in this place." ”

"I didn't expect this old guy to be a tough guy," Wang Youcai said with great admiration.

Xiao Chuan took a deep look at the direction where the old man left just now, but he didn't think that this old man turned out to be an artilleryman, artillery in this era is a technical branch, if no one teaches it, he can't learn it at all, Xiao Chuan can't help but think about recruiting,

"There's a cannon here," Wang Youcai said in surprise suddenly.

A few people hurriedly looked, in this dim basement, there was a blackened cannon, the cannon was not big, maybe two meters long, the barrel was the thickness of a small bucket, the muzzle of the cannon may be because it was placed in the basement, it was already a little rusty, and the cannon was placed on a wooden shelf, and there were two rows of small wheels around the shelf.

There was also a wooden box on the side, which contained projectiles, but solid iron eggs, and gunpowder.

Xiao Chuan laughed, there was even an artillery, it seemed that it could still be used, and now it was a big profit.

"It's Hongyi's six-pounder cannon" Han Gang's eyes flashed, showing a hint of a smile, and said: "This is light, it can be used in the field, and when attacking the city, it is also a sharp weapon, a good thing."

The group walked out of the basement with the artillery.
