The fireworks workshop was built outside the city of Shouchun.

The craftsmen who stayed in Shouchun made weapons poorly, but they were able to develop fireworks, which was really not ambiguous at all.

At first they would only make firecrackers.

After a few days of research and development, today's fireworks workshops can even make simple fireworks.

The fireworks workshop built outside Shouchun Castle has a much larger courtyard than the artisan workshops built in the castle in the past.

Cao Shuo stood in the courtyard and watched the craftsmen set off fireworks.

The fireworks were very simple, and he was a little bored to watch.

Deng Zhan, Zhu Ao and others, who had never seen fireworks, were stunned and looked stupid.

"There is such a beautiful thing in the world." After the last firework was burned, Zhu Ao smacked his mouth and said, "If you take it out and show it to the people, won't it be looted?" ”

"Looting is just for a while." Cao Shuo said: "The fireworks are too simple, the people are at most a novelty, and in the second year, I am afraid that there will not be so many people willing to spend money." ”

Cao Shuo was not satisfied with the fireworks, and the craftsmen lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to speak.

The leading craftsman said tremblingly: "If the lord has any dissatisfaction, just make it clear, and we will change ......."

"Of course not." Cao Shuo said: "After so long of development, the fireworks are still made like this. The New Year is not far off, and before that it must be made more refined. Can it be done? ”

The craftsmen still kept their heads down.

The leading craftsman replied, "Whatever the lord wants us to do, we will do." Just ......"

"Difficult?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Firework is really harder than firecrackers." The craftsman replied, "If the lord wants us to do it, we will do our best!" ”

"It's just a sentence of doing your best, it's pale." Cao Shuo said: "What I want is not for you to say so, but for you to really do it." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we will do it!" Cold sweat broke out on the back of the leading craftsman.

Looking up at the sky, Cao Shuo instructed Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao: "It's not early, we should go back too." ”

From Shouchun to here, it takes time to gallop a horse to a stick of incense.

I lost a lot of time in the fireworks workshop.

Cao Shuo also saw the fireworks made in the workshop with his own eyes.

It's not dark yet, but it's not too early.

Cao Shuo was about to leave, and the craftsmen sent him outside the gate and bowed to see him off.

"I think the fireworks are beautiful." Leaving the pyrotechnic workshop, Deng Zhan asked Cao Shuo: "Why does the lord still feel bad?" ”

"Actually, they just didn't dare to let it go." Cao Shuo said: "There are many uses for gunpowder, and there are many types of fireworks. What they're doing is just getting started, and the real fireworks aren't on the edge yet. ”

"The entrance is already so good-looking, I really don't know what the fireworks are like when the lord says." Zhu Ao was fascinated.

After 2,000 years, it is generally women and children who like fireworks, and men are rarely obsessed with it.

After all, Zhu Ao and Deng Zhan did not live two thousand years later.

Seeing fireworks for the first time, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao couldn't hide their excitement.

Although it seemed too simple to Cao Shuo, for them, the sparkling fireworks were indeed a novelty that they had never seen before.

The look on the faces of the two of them was confused and fascinated.

Seeing that they were still immersed in the novelty brought by the fireworks, Cao Shuo smiled slightly.

Leaving the fireworks workshop, they returned to Shouchun to the west.

But when Cao Shuo reached the fork in the road, he turned east.

Realizing that he had taken the wrong path, Deng Zhan reminded: "Lord, we should go west ......"

"Don't go back to Shouchun." Cao Shuo said: "I suddenly thought that I hadn't been to see Yu Ji and Zuo Ci for a long time, and I should also see them. ”

"It's just two warlocks, and the lord is still worried." Deng Zhan always looked down on Ji and Zuo Ci, and felt that they said crookedly: "The lord has something to explain to them, and I will bring it over." ”

"Warlocks also have the use of warlocks." Cao Shuo smiled indifferently: "If it wasn't for the elixir they refined, how could I get Guo Fengxiao?" ”

When Cao Shuo approached Guo Jia, it was indeed through the elixir.

Deng Zhan didn't say much, but he still didn't have a good impression of Zuo Ci and Yu Ji.

"The lord went to see them, it shouldn't be just for the elixir." Zhu Ao rarely said his opinion, but this would speculate on Cao Shuo's intentions.

"I will be called the emperor, they are world-famous warlocks, about the Heavenly Dao, of course, I have to ask them what they think." Cao Shuo said: "As the son of the Cao family, I didn't have too much. At that time, of course, I didn't believe in the number of days, but now I have hundreds of thousands of troops and several major state capitals. When it comes to heroes in the world, who can compare to me? The more you have, the more you worry about losing. ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao didn't know how to deal with what Cao Shuo said.

But they all understood that when they went to see Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, Cao Shuo just wanted to get the so-called number of lives from the mouths of the two warlocks.

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji live on Mount Bagong.

Cao Shuo originally sent someone to open up a barren mountain for them and build a house to live on the top of the mountain.

The two of them studied immortal arts and prepared pills all day long, and they didn't care about the world.

In the area of Shouchun, I know that there are many immortals living on the top of the mountain.

There are very few people who really have the opportunity to meet them.

To reach the top of the mountain where Zuo Ci and Yu Ji lived, you had to go through a winding path.

In order to protect the two of them, Cao Shuo originally arranged guards here.

He took Deng Zhan, Zhu Ao and a group of guards up the mountain, and didn't go far before he met a sentry.

Perhaps it had been too long since anyone had arrived, but the guard at the sentry greeted him and shouted, "Who is it? The Lord has decreed that no one is allowed to climb here! ”

"Are you blind?" Zhu Ao glared at them fiercely: "The lord is in front of him but he doesn't know him, he actually dares to come forward and interrogate!" ”

The guards who greeted him were all new soldiers, and they had never seen Cao Shuo, and when they saw him dressed richly, they only thought that he was a noble child in Shouchun City, and they didn't think about other aspects.

Hearing that it was Cao Shuo who came, the guards hurriedly bowed their heads and bowed, and they were silent one by one, how could half of them dare to speak.

"You don't know me?" Coming to the guard, Cao Shuo asked.

The guards shook their heads.

While shaking their heads, they hung their heads, not even daring to look at Cao Shuo.

Although he didn't get a response, Cao Shuo already knew the answer.

He didn't say anything more, and walked straight past the guards.

"Idiot!" Deng Zhan, who was following him, stopped and whispered to the guards: "It's all stopped, I heard that it's the lord, why don't you verify your identity?" If you offend someone, you have to find a reason to hold on. ”

glared at them again, and Deng Zhan also walked over.

Cao Shuo, Deng Zhan and the others walked by, and the guards who knew that they had made a big mistake were silent and annoyed.

What Deng Zhan said is indeed right.

People are offended, and they demand identification, at least they can be loyal to their duties.
