Zong Ze said with a look on his face: "I sent someone to check for almost two years, but I didn't find any traces, I think there must be a master behind it, so the old man has no clue." ”

Deng Long's expression froze, and he told him what he knew, hoping that Zong Ze could find some clues from it.

Zong Ze closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "It can't be done by those people, although Song Jiang has a group of people, he can't do such a seamless thing." As for the emperor, it is even more impossible, as far as I know, although the palace has some unknown offerings, but it is a guard to protect the emperor, and it will definitely not leave the emperor.

There is also that Tian Hu, the old man had suspected him before, but the old man sent someone to check and confirmed that he was not responsible for this transaction. ”

Deng Long frowned and said: "Those people have such great strength, why don't they come out and join the imperial court, or set up their own door, occupy the mountain and establish themselves as kings!" ”

Slowly exhaling a breath, Zong Ze clenched his fists and said: "This is also the most confusing place for the old man, their group is obviously not the people of those sects, if they ask for money, they will not only make a move once, and the old man has sent a visit, those antique jade that occupy sixty percent of the birth gang seem to have disappeared, and they have appeared in the Great Song Dynasty at all." Those people have not done a single major case in these two years, and it is unlikely that they will live on only those gold and silver that occupy a small minority! ”

What is most troublesome for Zong Ze now is that he can't guess what the gang of people who robbed the birth gang the year before last will ultimately want to achieve.

Deng Long suddenly made a fortune in Ximenqing, and hurriedly said what he found: "Sir, can you remember the Ximenqing who was sent to Dengzhou last year?" ”

Zong Ze was stunned and said: "The old man still cleaned up that guy, why do you suspect him?" ”

Deng Long also just remembered that Ximen Qingyuan was a ruffian in Yuncheng County, and he suddenly made a windfall two years ago, and this was the rumor in Yuncheng County.

Tell all these fragmentary memories to Zong Ze, Deng Long remembered Ximenqing's inexplicable eyes before he went to Dengzhou, could there be other mysteries in this?

Zong Ze suddenly slapped his thigh and said with great joy: "There is such a possibility, but that guy is obviously not high in martial arts, it is impossible to be the core character, and in the end, he can only share some things that are taken out of the market, the old man only wants to meet those real masters, if he makes a move now, he will inevitably startle the snake!" ”

Deng Long smiled: "What's so difficult about this, I'm planning to make a big deal, and I need a leading person, then Ximenqing is just right, I'll write a letter now, just transfer him back!" ”

At the moment, I told Zong Ze what I thought, and I wanted to ask Zong Ze's thoughts, after all, I was still too tender.

Zong Ze pondered for a while and said, "Wouldn't it be too early to prepare these things now?" ”

Deng Long sighed and said: "Time is running out, if you can get to that point, you can't make too much preparation!" ”

Zong Ze was silent again, obviously what Deng Long said was too important.

There was silence in the righteous hall, and Zong Ze sat next to Deng Long, his expression unprecedentedly solemn.

"It's the old man who is too worried about the Jurchen things, and almost missed the most important things, you think well, it's time to prepare, leave these things to the old man, remember not to mention it in front of others, so as not to have a bad impact on you."

Deng Long smiled: "I haven't told anyone else about this yet, only Mr. knows!" ”

Zong Ze smiled and said: "There has been progress these days, but it is still not comprehensive, the old man has added your plan in the past few days, and tried not to miss anything." ”

Deng Long and Zong Ze glanced at each other, and tacitly did not mention this topic again.

Zong Ze took out two porcelain bottles from his arms and said: "This is the old man's accidental getting, the old man used a little, and now there are less than ten copies left, save a little!" ”

Deng Long took the porcelain bottle and opened it to see that the bottle was filled with soybean-sized pills, the smell was pungent and disgusting, and Deng Long hurriedly plugged the mouth of the bottle

Deng Long asked with palpitations: "What is this, it's not something for people to eat!" ”

"This wasn't meant to be for people to eat!"

Deng Long said strangely: "Could it be for the animals?" ”

Zong Ze said solemnly: "The old man won't tell you the origin of this thing, so don't ask, you just need to know that this thing can control people's hearts!" ”

"Is that the ghost guard this pill, under control?"

Zong Ze sneered: "Do you think that you can control them just by relying on the old man's mouth?"

The kid remembered that there is no antidote to this thing, so don't take it out at will, lest people close to you eat it by mistake. ”

"What exactly does this thing do, and are there any side effects?"

Zong Ze's cloudy eyes became deeper, and he said in an indifferent tone: "This pill is called the Puppet Pill, and it is something that was inadvertently made out by those alchemists, and it is the only thing in the world. After taking the puppet pill, the person who takes it will be unconscious for a pillar of incense, and the first person he sees after waking up, he will recognize him as the master and will not betray him for the rest of his life, but they will lose their seven emotions and six desires, and become a puppet without any emotions for others to drive. ”

Deng Long was shocked: "Doesn't that mean that as long as a large number of puppet pills are produced, you can control an invincible army, then in this world, who else can resist such an army!" ”

Zong Ze looked at Deng Long and said with a smile: "It is precisely because of this that the old man will not tell you the origin of the puppet pill, this thing should not have appeared in the world in the first place." You kid still died of this heart! ”

Deng Long sneered: "I'm just curious, and I don't have any other ideas!" ”

Zong Ze said with a smile: "I hope so, okay, don't tell anyone else these words today, the old man will go to work now, you kid should stay here and think about the road ahead!" ”

Zong Ze left in a dashing manner, leaving Deng Long alone in a daze in the Juyi Hall.

How many good things the ancestors left to future generations, I'm afraid not many people can count it.

Just these things that Zong Ze said today surprised Deng Long, who said that the ancients were inferior to the later generations.

Shaking off the messy emotions, Deng Long took out the jade flute and blew it vigorously.

The phantom appeared in the Juyi Hall again, looking at Deng Long with a cold gaze.

Deng Long smiled: "I guess the sect elder has already told you!" ”

This is not one of those puppets, Deng Long naturally said politely.

The Phantom nodded slightly, still standing there without speaking.

Deng Long continued to ask the Phantom, but the Phantom just nodded and shook his head, and ran out with a word.

In desperation, Deng Long had no choice but to tell him to go back first, and no one wanted to talk to the wooden man.

After resting for a while, Deng Long went to various places to inspect the training.

It's not bad, no one dares to take Deng Long's words as a deaf ear, and they are all in their respective camps, seriously practicing the way of battle formation.

After seeing the army, he came to the foundry room again, where Du Qian personally waited to build and fight weapons.

When Du Qian saw Deng Long coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother, please take a seat, I'll ask my minions to make you tea." ”

Deng Long smiled: "Don't bother, I'm just going to walk around casually and take a look at the situation in the foundry by the way!" ”

Du Qian introduced: "Now there are more than 2,000 craftsmen in the foundry, and they are constantly building weapons all day long, which is enough for the cottage to consume!" ”

Deng Long nodded, no matter what time it is, the gun is hard enough, it is the king.

After reading the weapons, the two came to the armor workshop again, unlike the sound of 'clanging' iron just now, the armor workshop was quiet.

Hundreds of craftsmen gathered around a king-size round table, each doing a different job, and when they turned around, a prototype of iron armor came out.

On the round table that was handed to another with fewer people, the next step of processing was carried out, and the rotation was carried out in turn, until it was passed to the last table, and an iron armor was hotly baked.

This is the assembly line method invented by Deng Long in the Great Song Dynasty, although it is not as delicate as the iron armor made by traditional craftsmanship, but it is better than the fast production speed and can prepare the army in the shortest possible time.

Turning around the courtyard, we came to the deepest workshop, where there were even fewer people, less than fifty people, but all of them were master craftsmen, specializing in making the best armor and weapons.

Deng Long's five-light dragon scale armor took more than half a year, just the manpower and material resources invested, that is an astronomical amount, it can be seen that a top-level armor was born, it is not so simple, Xu Ning's Yanling chain mail is worth 100,000 yuan, it is not unreasonable.

Now the five-light dragon scale armor is in the final stages of processing, and after asking the craftsman, I know that it will take two months to complete.

In addition to Deng Long's armor, Lin Chong's armor is also in intense production, but it is a little lower than Deng Long's, and it will be completed in a few days.

The busy day was about to pass, Deng Long was about to go home and warm up with his wife, and halfway through, he saw Gongsun Sheng turning around outside the door of the Juyi Hall, Deng Long thought something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. is so impatient, but what happened?" ”

Gongsun Sheng said anxiously: "The old mother of the family suddenly fell ill, so she asked someone to bring a letter, and asked Poor Dao to go back quickly, and I came to ask my brother for my resignation!" ”

Deng Long sighed secretly in his heart, according to the original rhythm, you shouldn't leave now!

"It's my mother's emergency, why don't I accompany my husband to go with me, and when my mother recovers, I will receive Liangshan and enjoy a few days of happiness!"

Gongsun Sheng's face changed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "My brother is the master of the cottage, how can I walk around for the private affairs of my younger brother, I will wait for my mother's illness to recover after I go back, and I will rush back to Liangshan as soon as possible, please rest assured!" ”

Deng Long didn't say anything about going back with Gongsun Sheng, he personally found Wang Lun, took out a thousand taels of gold and handed it to Gongsun Sheng, brought his mount to Gongsun Sheng, and watched Gongsun Sheng get on the boat and drift away.

Deng Long looked unpredictable and said: "I hope my guess is correct, I hope that when you come back, those two will also follow!" ”
