There is a pond of three or five acres in the back of the restaurant, there is a path rockery in the pond to make a scene, it was originally a fish and shrimp farming in the restaurant for diners to fish, and it was used as a display of thunder tonight. Zhao Tianyou is not a slow person, Wen Tianxiang's enthusiasm cannot hide Deng Huaiyuan's dissatisfaction, but he is just a hurried passer-by in Zhangzhou, and he can personally deliver things, but he just wants to meet Wen Tianxiang.

"Lord Wen, can these bamboo tubes defeat the enemy? Huaiyuan has doubts, there are so many officials and gentry to accompany him tonight, how ugly it will be if something goes wrong! Deng Huaiyuan sat next to Wen Tianxiang and whispered in his ear.

"Haha, Huaiyuan, don't underestimate these two small bamboo tubes, they are big killers all day long!"

Zhao Tianyou said: "Master Wen, then prepare to show!" ”

"Okay, colleagues and fellow villagers, let's open your eyes today, haha, get ready to ......"

In the middle of the pond path, a wooden bucket and a terracotta water tank were placed, ready to be displayed by Zhao Tianyou's men in turn.

Thunderbolt held it in the hands of a pirate, lit the fuse, and threw it into the barrel five or six feet away. The sneering fuse burned, flickering in the night, and suddenly exploded when the people around were unprepared.

The sound was like a giant thunder, and the red light was dazzling, and under the semi-enclosed space of the wooden barrel, the power of the thunder was increased by two percent, and the wooden barrel was blown apart in the loud noise. The lead shot that burst out was blocked by the wooden plank, and its power dropped a lot, and it fell into the pond with a crackle.

However, there are also more than a dozen or twenty fish that slipped through the net, flying ten zhang away and falling into the crowd of onlookers, although the lethality has dropped a lot, but the shouts of oops, mom are continuous, and the lucky one has a big bag bulging on his head as a souvenir.

Before the people could wake up from their surprise, a thunderbolt cannon used on a giant crossbow ignited and threw it into the water tank, and the pirate who ignited the fire turned and ran backwards, because this guy had a much larger charge than the thunderbolt just now, and it was easy to get into trouble if it was thrown crookedly.

"Boom!" Three and a half catties of high-quality gunpowder exploded, and a pound and a half of peanut-sized lead bullets rained down on the water tank around it, and after a loud sound, the water tank was blown to pieces. Dust and gunpowder smoke rose up to form a small mushroom-shaped smoke that curled over the shattered shards of the tank.

The power of this explosion was even greater, and the fire that flashed when it exploded reflected half of the sky, and now whoever said that this weapon was not powerful enough, the people who visited this circle would have to tear his mouth apart. When discussing the lethality of gunpowder with Zhou Yuan and others, Zhao Tianyou once transmitted to them this point of view, the lethal effect of this kind of weapon is mainly used to injure the enemy, and before the birth of more powerful explosives, it is too difficult to consider directly killing people, so it is better to expand the range of injury to the enemy.

The ballista launches such a giant crossbow and will send three lighted thunderbolts to the enemy's ranks, seriously wounded within three feet, lightly wounded within one zhang, and hung up within three feet. If you want to kill the enemy, the charge needs to be increased by three times or more, and the convenience of long-range firing is lost.

"Oops! OMG! ”

"Thunder Male Lightning Mother is nothing more than that!"

"Louder than thunder! Brighter than lightning, this is God's punishment! ”

"Oops, it hurts me to death, you see you smash me such a big bag!"

Wen Tianxiang laughed and said: "Heaven will not kill my Great Song Dynasty, with such a sharp weapon, why worry about not being able to defend the city, why not be afraid of the Mongolian soldiers and horses!" Kill the Yuan soldiers and go north to recover Lin'an, such a heavy task will fall on us! ”

Although Deng Huaiyuan was angry, he was dissatisfied with Zhao Tianyou because of the courtesy of humility, but he was a smart person, and he immediately understood the key to what these two explosions meant. No wonder Wen Tianxiang admires this Master Zhao so much, if he is really a talented person, this craft is no longer measurable with money, thinking about it, he moved his mind.

The literati attach great importance to the reputation of the officials, and they do not seek fame and go down in history, but also want to be praised by someone, and at the same time the Confucianism is dominant, it also encourages a hundred schools of thought to compete and open up, so the Song Dynasty is really a very strange era.

After the banquet, everyone said goodbye to each other, Zhao Tianyou and his subordinates lived in this restaurant, and they really couldn't live in it, so they collected a few houses around it, and more than 100 people were tired for a day, and they drank some wine at night and soon fell asleep.

Zhao Tianyou didn't sleep, he kept drinking tea and waiting in the outer hall, he believed that Wen Tianxiang would definitely visit alone.

"Peng Peng Peng!"

"Has Master Zhao ever slept?"

Zhao Tianyou got up and opened the door, and sure enough, Wen Tianxiang changed into a short green coat, with no alcohol on his face, and stood outside the door with a slight smile, only a small guy followed with a lantern.

"Lord Wen, please, the sobering tea has been brewed for you, come, drink two cups first."

The two looked at each other and smiled at each other and sat down to drink tea, Wen Tianxiang secretly admired Zhao Tianyou, although he was a young cloth, he was generous in his speech and demeanor, polite and respectful, not pretentious at all, sitting in front of him like an old friend, there was no sense of distance.

"Master Zhao is willing to be an official?"

"God bless you are used to freedom, and you don't like to be bound!"

"Master Zhao has made such a great contribution to the imperial court, the reward of gold and silver is already difficult to measure, if you are not allowed to be a high-ranking official, the future will inevitably laugh at Wenshan for not moving to appreciate talents, and you must not gouge out my two eyes? Master Zhao can't trap me in the name of disloyalty and injustice! ”

Wen Tianxiang wanted to keep Zhao Tianyou, and used his brains to figure out the conditions that could impress Zhao Tianyou, but after thinking about it, he had nothing to do with his official position. From the beginning, he knew that Zhao Tianyou refused to be an official, but there was no other way but to try it cheekily.

"Lord Wen is a hero in the world, and what Tianyou looks at is not your official position, but your pride and loyalty to resist Yuan rather die than to die. The country is broken with mountains and rivers, if the heart is immortal and the blood is eternal, how can the seven-foot man be enslaved by a foreign race, as long as the spark burns, he will definitely be able to regain everything he has lost with the power of a prairie fire. Zhao Tianyou spit out the words clearly, his voice was in his ears, and every sentence hit Wen Tianxiang's heart.

"What Tianyu said is very true, let me have an epiphany! Wenshan is a few years older than you, can you and I become brothers with different surnames, although we can't live together, but I hope to die together in order to resist the Yuan, brother, how about you take a look? ”

Zhao Tianyou glanced at the sky, and said secretly in his heart: "What do you mean, if you don't give the official and you come up with feelings and this routine, why can't you think of a beauty plan?" ”

"Absolutely not, Lord Wen is my elder and a model respected by the world, how can I worship my brother, if Lord Wen is like this, he just wants to drive me away!"

Wen Tianxiang shook his head helplessly and said: "God bless, your position is very important for the great cause of resisting the Yuan, and it is a huge force that my Great Song Dynasty must rely on, I don't worry if you don't become an official!" ”

"On the issue of resisting the invasion of the Yuan soldiers, I have nothing to say, and I will definitely do my best to help the imperial court, Lord Wen, please rest assured!"

"God, I can't impress you, I'll think about it when I go back!" Wen Tianxiang said goodbye and left the restaurant, he was not surprised by the result this time, Zhuge Liang also invited it three times, Zhao Tianyou was more clever than Zhuge Liang in his opinion, how could he be the master who followed him as soon as he said it.

The little servant carried the lantern, and Wen Tianxiang turned around slowly, but he didn't expect that the courtyard where he lived was already full of people.
