Qian Jin heard that Gao Yuan hadn't returned to the capital for more than ten years, and couldn't help but be secretly speechless. Not to mention whether the theory of robbery is reliable, he can bear this secret alone, and this perseverance is difficult for ordinary people to do. If he could, Qian Jin would be willing to do something for him, firstly, to repay him for saving his life, and secondly, purely out of his heart.

"Gao Qianhu, are your family still in the capital? If necessary, the kid can take care of one or two. ”

"Family?" Gao Yuan glanced at Qian Jin coldly, and said indifferently: "Since the day Poor Dao escaped with this brocade box, it has doomed my family to no good end. ”

Qian Jin looked at Gao Yuan, and didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he said after a long time: "Gao Qianhu, not to mention whether it is true that it should be robbed, are you too ruthless to your family by doing this?" ”

"It seems that you still don't understand what the real calamity is", Gao Yuan glanced at Qian Jin and said in a deep voice, "According to records, every calamity is the end of the world. After the catastrophe, it is good for the common people to be able to save one of the ten households. ”

When Qian Jin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a huge wave in his heart. From the moment Gao Yuan mentioned the robbery, he had never taken it seriously, and now he thinks that it coincides with Xiaoice's statement. These so-called heavenly tricks are mysterious and mysterious, could it be that there is really a celestial induction in the cuteness?

Gao Yuan saw Qian Jin stunned there, couldn't help but sneer, and said: "You have also observed the process of fighting with that scholar just now, to be honest, it is really a miracle that your three-legged cat's kung fu can make you live until now." ”

He picked up a dead branch more than two feet long on the ground and continued: "That scholar has left three points of strength for each move, so that he can have the spare strength to conjure up new sword moves, once all his sword moves are coherent, it will be like a surging river, so you will have such a hard time coping. Martial arts training is used to strengthen the body, and the poor road does not ask you to have any attainments in martial arts, and it is always good to be able to have some self-preservation power. Poor Dao will pass you a few swordsmanship today, and you are optimistic about it. ”

After that, he slowly walked to a place where the terrain was a little slower and put his hand in a starting pose, then pointed out with his left foot, gently swept over the fallen leaves, drew a circle, and said at the same time: "There is no subtlety in swordsmanship, and there is only one word in essence, that is, 'circle'." ”

Gao Yuan's sword style was extremely slow, as if it was more than ten times slower than ordinary people's movements. I saw that the withered branch in his right hand slowly drew an arc in the air, as if a pool of spring water was randomly crossed, and the whole person's body swayed gently like a small grass blown by the wind. Immediately afterwards, the withered branch in his hand seemed to carry a spiritual rhyme, sometimes lightly pointed, sometimes gently swinged.

Qian Jin was amazed. He has never eaten pork, but he is also a person who has seen pigs run. If you guess correctly, this should be the essence of Tai Chi.

After finishing more than a dozen swordsmanship, Gao Yuan stood with his stick and said: "The moves are nothing, the important thing is the artistic conception." ”

Qian Jin hurriedly thanked him.

Gao Yuan waved his hand, took out a yellowed book from his arms and handed it over, and said: "The royal people have been grasping the poor road all these years, if it weren't for this disguise technique, it would be really a bit troublesome. There's nothing to give you, so you can keep this book. ”

Qian Jin took it, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at Gao Yuan's face.

How could Gao Yuan not know that Qian Jin's thoughts. He touched his chin and said helplessly, "You...... Since Poor Dao is willing to recognize you, he will naturally show his true face. Then he said: "It's over, and Poor Dao is ready to leave." In the future, remember to be careful in everything, the poor road can save you once, and it is difficult to save you a second time. ”

"Gao Qianhu should also be careful, the capital is no more ...... than outside"

"Don't worry, after all, Poor Dao used to be a Jinyi Guard, and now those Jinyi Guards have to call me a senior."

Qian Jin nodded, turned around and went back to get the soul flag. Gao Yuan took it with one hand, and after a short pause, he went down the mountain road paved with red maple leaves.

Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, Qian Jin sighed and turned to leave.

After returning to the barbecue place, everyone gathered around, all wanting to know something from Qian Jin.

Qian Jin only said "nothing", then called Li Bin and Mu Qing, and said: "There is a reluctant invitation from this thousand households......

"Qianhu rest assured, we won't say a word about Gao Qianhu." Li Bin seemed to know what Qian Jin was thinking.

Qian Jin nodded and continued: "Seriously, it is the first time I have met Gao Qianhu, but I admire it from the bottom of my heart. If this person dies of conspiracy, my Qian Jin will definitely be the first to let go. ”

The two hurriedly said yes.

…………

Everyone packed up and went back to the courtyard.

Because of the attack on Qian Jin, everyone didn't have the heart to go to the temple fair again, and the family gathered in the courtyard to eat melons and fruits and snacks. Qian Jin nested alone in the study and pondered.

Today's experience with the enemy reminded him once again of the importance of force. These days, he has been focusing on officialdom, but he has neglected this point, and almost hated it. The guerrilla tactics used in Zhenjiang Prefecture to deal with the Japanese no longer worked, especially after the courtyard had this big family. He desperately needed to be able to face the enemy head-on.

Thinking of this, he called the shopkeeper Ding to the study.

"Shopkeeper Ding, sit." He took a tea bowl and poured a bowl of herbal tea and handed it over, saying, "This time, I'm going to trouble you to help me find some people." ”

"What kind of people are needed, the lord commands." Ding Wei smiled shyly and continued: "After the winery and tailoring workshop recruited those craftsmen last time, many old guys still asked me from time to time to see if the master still wanted anyone here. ”

"Oh? Looks like I'm pretty popular here. Qian Jin paused and said, "This time you need to help me find a dozen good blacksmiths." ”

"I don't know what kind of utensils the master needs to build, there are also types of blacksmiths."

Qian Jin thought for a moment and said: "After this attack, I thought about it for a while, the courtyard still needs some self-protection, otherwise I won't be at ease when I go out." In addition, I heard that the Tartars in the north often cross the border to burn and plunder, although the suburbs of Beijing are relatively safe, but I am afraid that our two wineries need to strengthen protection. Do you think you can help me find a few blacksmiths who can craft the Three-Eyed Gun? ”

"Three-eyed guns? Sir, this is forbidden. Besides, the master is a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and if you go to the barracks and walk around, you may be able to get a dozen rods out. ”

"You're going to be mistaken. I actually wanted to build a six-eyed fire gun based on the three-eyed gun. You don't have to worry about anything else. ”

Shopkeeper Ding pondered for a while, and then promised to inquire tomorrow. Just as he was about to get up, Qian Jin instructed again: "There is another matter, you can help me find it these days to see if I can buy some saltpeter and sulfur back, the purer the better." ”

"But you have to make your own gunpowder?" Ding Wei reminded: "This sulfur can still be bought, but saltpeter is hard to find." Generally, you can buy some in the pharmacy, but the amount is not much, if you want to prepare gunpowder, that little is not enough. ”

Ding Wei said this, Qian Jin naturally understood. There are no saltpeter mines near Gyeonggi, and he knows it.

Now is the season of high autumn and cool, and it is also the time for the nitrate people to collect nitrate everywhere. There are many saltpeter crystals in the toilets, pigsties, and walls of the people's homes in autumn, and the nitrate people collect these crystals and soil and soak them in buckets, and after the crystallization, it is nitrate. However, purity is naturally not enough. In order to obtain high-purity fire nitrate, it is necessary to use plant ash to cook and crystallize.

It is rumored that when the island country was not yet civilized, in order to obtain saltpeter, a strategic material, all the residents were mobilized to build latrines. After the latrines were filled with feces and urine, they were covered with thatch, and after half a year, the thatch was full of nitrate.

After some discussion, Qian Jin ordered Ding Wei to buy saltpeter from the nearby nitraters. Naturally, the more this stuff is, the better, in addition to making fire-potion, it can also be used to chill drinks.

After Ding Wei left, Qian Jin called Bao'er in again and forwarded the disguise technique sent by Gao Yuan to her. Isn't the girl's family the favorite to wear makeup, just as she likes.

Bao'er has really not had much to do recently except to be the husband of the Li Liang brothers and sisters. She only glanced at the booklet twice, and then said with a face full of grievances: "Brother, do you want me to become a thousand-faced banshee?" ”

Qian Jin scolded with a smile: "Give me a good study, and it will be the job assigned to you by my brother." If you can't even recognize my brother after the disguise, there will be a reward. ”

Bao'er couldn't, so she had to leave with a sad heart. Qian Jin looked at the slender back, but in his heart he was wondering if Gao Qianhu saw himself with his true face today.

After everything was arranged, Qian Jin sent Li Bin back to Zhenfu Division to take a month's leave for himself. In this attack, not to mention other benefits for the time being, there is just a chance to avoid the court. Originally, the matter of leave was under the control of the Ministry of Officials, but during this period of time, he had a tense relationship with the Ministry of Officials, and you must know that there were more than a dozen officials in the Ministry of Officials in prison.
