In the next ten days, Chu Tianya spent most of his time in the gunpowder workshop of Tianji Peak, accompanied by Yelu Yanchen day and night.

In addition to studying the purification and improvement of gunpowder together, they also talked about some scriptures and historical anthologies and wild history miscellaneous stories. Yelu Yanchen's erudition opened Chu Tianya's eyes. He did not care much about current affairs and politics, nor did he have much interest in poetry and poetry, but he was very interested in history and military affairs. He was even able to name the names of the horses and weapons ridden by famous generals in various periods of the Sui and Tang dynasties, as well as the origin and craftsmanship of their armor.

This, of course, has to do with the profession he is engaged in. Immersed in the weapons manufacturing industry for so many years, Yelu Yanchen's brain is like a living encyclopedia. This is undoubtedly a priceless treasure for the "military group" where Chu Tianya is now.

An expert is an expert, and a master's shot is indeed extraordinary. Chu Tianya has some theoretical knowledge from the 21st century, and Yelu Yanchen has extremely rich experience and strong practical ability. The two hit it off, and in just ten days, they had already raised the purity and power of gunpowder by several notches.

This not only made Chu Tianya overjoyed, but Yelu Yanchen was even more ecstatic. He loved gunpowder, he loved to delve into it, and he loved it far more than his own life. The achievement in front of him is the greatest recognition and encouragement for him, and it also makes him feel an unprecedented sense of achievement.

At the same time, Bai Xu was also making every effort to carry out the work assigned to him by Chu Tianya. In ten days, he brought in many craftsmen, apprentices, and workers from far and near, and for the time being, a team of fifty people surrounded Yelu Yanchen, studying technology, making gunpowder, and polishing weapons with him.

When Yelu Yanchen began to polish the barrel of the first flintlock pistol by himself, the Tianji Palace on Tianji Peak became the "secret powerhouse" of the highest military control in Qixing Village. Except for Chu Tianya, Bai Xu and Yelu Yanchen, no one can come and go freely. Even the Sergeant Tiger Ben, who was in charge of guarding the gunpowder workshop, had to be approved by the warrants of the above three people to go down the mountain. From the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, layers of blockade were tightened, and the people at each guard were forbidden to come and go freely. The supplies needed on the mountain had to be transferred several times before they could be sent to the Tianji Palace.

Now not to mention people, even if a sparrow wants to enter and exit the Tianji Palace freely, it is also difficult.

Although it is impossible to make AK47 and 54 pistols due to the current overall level of science and technology and manufacturing capacity, Chu Tianya has been playing with guns for more than ten years in his previous life, and Chu Tianya is very confident in the semi-primitive "flintlock pistol" he designed.

I have never eaten pork, but I have seen too many pigs walking; Chu Tianya himself has no hands-on ability, and his theoretical knowledge is still quite rich. The appearance of Yelu Yanchen made him feel like a tiger.

Chu Tianya began to look forward to it with confidence and hope. As long as the first flintlock pistol can come out in the Great Song Dynasty, in time, it will definitely change the 100,000 army under the command of Chu Tianya, change the current form of war, and even change this era!

Bai Xu has become Yelu Yanchen's most trusted and valued student. His erudition and humility and studious satisfaction greatly satisfied him. This lonely old man who is over sixty years old and has lost his son in old age has taught Bai Xu what he has learned all his life without reservation. In fact, Chu Tianya also learned what he wanted to learn from Yelu Yanchen, but due to the difference in identity, Yelu Yanchen dared to regard him as a student, and could only discuss with him in the way of "academic exchange".

And Yelu Yanchen also knew that Chu Tianya was the lord after all, and it was impossible to be specialized in everything and seek a deep understanding. He just needs to be able to handle those who have a skill.

This is exactly what Chu Tianya thought. After all, a person's energy is limited, and he didn't really want to become a gunpowder preparer or a master of Fan Zhu. With Yelu Yanchen under his command and Bai Xu as his mantle student, this is enough for Chu Tianya.

The weather is getting colder day by day. The yarn spinning single clothes on Chu Tianya's body have been replaced with mink brocade robes. This is the first time he has worn such expensive and luxurious clothes since he came to the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, this is the spoils of the battle of Huanglong Valley at the beginning, and now Qixingzhai is practicing frugality, and it is impossible to spend money on such expensive clothing. Since the things have been stored and will not be wasted and thrown away, no one except Chu Tianya is qualified to wear them.

A man's temperament and demeanor are not cultivated in a day. Perhaps because of the experience of the previous life and the baptism of many major events in this life, after Chu Tianya, who was only in his early twenties, put on this brocade robe, in addition to a luxurious extravagance and calm bearing, he could not hide his natural majesty and ambition.

In Yelu Yanchen's words, Chu Tianya, who is weak in his age, already has the momentum that is enough to compete with Wanyan Zonghan, a great hero, and has the talent, foresight and benevolence that Wanyan Zonghan does not have......

"In time, the lord will be able to raise a kingly appearance, so that Zong Han and others will not be able to match him!"

This is Yelu Yanchen's original words, Chu Tianya laughed when he heard it.

Whether it is royal or gangster, Chu Tianya has always just gone with the flow. He doesn't care about these at all. Hard work is always the first place in his life creed.

The training of the Tiger Rider has been very hard, and the elimination of personnel is also very cruel. Tang Ang and Anu, the two commanders of the Tiger Army, became the "Great and Small Yama King" in the eyes of the soldiers. These two "supermen" are ruthless and spicy in their training, and as long as they don't kill people, they will do everything they can. In the past few days, the quality of the tiger cavalry has increased a lot, and although the number of personnel has been reduced from more than 1,000 to about 5,000, the combat effectiveness has obviously increased unabated.

This made Chu Tianya very pleased. Although the current Tiger Horse is still only a semi-finished product, there is still a gap compared with the Iron Floating Tu and Kidnapping Horse of the Jin Kingdom. But as long as there is progress, there is hope.

The improvement of gunpowder, the development of guns, and the arduous training of the army are all aimed at strengthening the combat effectiveness of the army. Chu Tianya knew in his heart that the weather was the signal for the outbreak of war. Flowers and leaves are withering day by day, and the day when the Jurchens will attack again is also approaching day by day.

In the past few days, Chu Tianya has been running around the Tianji Peak Gunpowder Workshop Bureau, and between the Tiger Ben Cavalry Battalion of Kaiyang Palace, he has not only snubbed Wanyan Daike of Jinwu Zangjiao, but also forgot to take care of the hot and naughty Zhu'er.

In the evening of this day, Chu Tianya had just come out of the Tiger Ben cavalry camp and went to Tianquan Palace to discuss the military situation with Bai Xu, but before he could talk, Bai Xu smiled and said: "Lord, you seem to have forgotten a trivial matter?" ”

"I've been busy all day long, and since it's a trivial matter, it's inevitable to forget." Chu Tianya said lightly, "What's the matter, you remind me." ”

"Do you remember that a few days ago, you handed over a woman who committed a crime to Xiao Sheng, and asked Xiao Sheng to urge her to learn the military orders and regulations of the cottage?" Bai Xu smiled, "More than ten days have passed in this moment. ”

"Oh, Pearl!" Chu Tianya suddenly smiled, "Just learn it, and the goal will be achieved." ”

"The lord thinks so, she doesn't think so." Bai Xu smiled, "The lord once said that she would have to check it all in person within three days, but he almost drove her to death at that time." But fortunately, she studied hard for three days and finally barely learned, but the lord forgot to come to check. Recently, she has come here every day to wait for the lord, but the lord will not come. Xiao Sheng was really worried about when she would set fire to Xiao Sheng's Tianquan Palace in a fit of rage. ”

"Are you saying good things to her and letting me see her?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "This wild girl is really a lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, I can't bear it." ”

Bai Xu smiled meaningfully and said, "The lord is not a little curious about her? Or do you want to know a little bit from her? ”

"Then you're encouraging me to sacrifice my hue?" Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing, "Don't need it!" One Yan Deke is enough to make my head big, I'm very busy right now, and I don't have time to play any spy war with them. ”

Bai Xu smiled, "That little student found an excuse to drive her away, it's a hundred." ”

"That's not necessary......" Chu Tianya replied subconsciously, and immediately came to his senses, glaring at me and saying, "Are you testing me?" ”

"No, how dare Xiaosheng!" Bai Xu laughed, and rarely laughed so badly, "Is the lord really not interested in her at all?" …… As far as Xiaosheng knows, at least ninety percent of the men in the cottage are interested in her. ”

"Two different things, not to be confused." Chu Tianya said, "I always feel that there is danger hidden in Zhu'er and Wanyan Daike. There is also the taciturn Qiu who only knows how to practice martial arts every day, which is even more incomprehensible. It is true that these two women are quite beautiful, but they are like two beautiful snake fruits, who knows if they are poisonous inside? ”

Bai Xu also regained his serious expression, and nodded with a stern expression, "The lord is right. These three people have been joining the cottage for so long, and Xiaosheng feels that the longer they get along, the more they can't understand these three people. Xiao Sheng deliberately asked the lord for advice today, and only then did he know that even the lord couldn't see their true faces, which shows that these three people are very hidden. Seeing that winter is approaching, the horn of war will be sounded. Shouldn't we do anything about these three people just to be on the safe side? ”

"For the time being, we only need to monitor closely, and we don't need to make any drastic moves." Chu Tianya said, "If they are spies, the closer the war is, the more urgent we will feel, and they will only be more anxious and unable to hold their breath." Wait, it can't be fake, it can't be fake. If they are really spies, they are about to show their feet. ”

"As soon as you are angry, you will listen to the lord."

Chu Tianya thought for a while and smiled slightly, "Then I'll still, let's see Zhu'er!" ”

"Yes, my lord." Bai Xu smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Tianya's face turned straight, "Do you think I will be short of women?" ”

"The fact is that after the Lord Xiao left, there was indeed no woman by the lord's side." Bai Xu smiled, "Although this is the lord's private matter, it is actually a major event in our cottage." In recent days, many leaders have come to Xiaosheng to discuss and choose a concubine for the lord. A man without a wife is like a tree without skin......"

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own measure. Although I am the lord of 100,000 people, I have not yet gotten carried away to get some three palaces and six courts. I'll enjoy it when it's time to enjoy it, but not now. Chu Tianya said.

Bai Xu was slightly stunned, "Could it be that with Lord Xiao in his heart, he can't tolerate other women anymore?" ”

"No need to say more—go, send someone to summon Zhu'er!"

"Yes......"

Soon after, Pearls arrived. As soon as he saw her for the first time when he entered the house, Chu Tianya subconsciously tightened the mink brocade robe on his body. Isn't the heart saying she's not cold? It's so cold, and I'm still wearing such a short skirt and such revealing clothes.

"Didn't anyone send you clothes?" After Chu Tianya glanced her up and down, he couldn't help but smile.

"Those southerners who sent them are ugly, so I don't wear them!" There was obviously a trace of resentment on Zhu'er's face, probably blaming Chu Tianya for forgetting her these days, and said as if angry, "In the past, when I was in the deep mountains and old forests of Mobei, even if it snowed, I would only put on a cloak to keep out the snow. It's still so warm, what's there to be cold? ”

"It's really a goblin......" Chu Tianya couldn't help but blurt out.
