Next, Qin Shuang rushed back to the Western Capital non-stop, and before leaving, Wang Xu repeatedly instructed that the matter of excavating saltpeter was very important, and there should be no accidents.

Qin Shuang also knew the seriousness of the matter, if there was saltpeter in the western capital, the strength would be half drunk, Qin Shuang rushed to the western capital ten days later, and conveyed Wang Xu's order to the military aircraft department, and then Jia Hui ordered five Yulin military captains to ride a total of 5,000 elite horses to the Gobi Desert in Nanjun.

At the same time, Jia Hui also transferred 50,000 high-grade war horses from the Xidu Racecourse and escorted them to the Southern Capital by Qin Shuang.

During this period, everything was running normally, Wang Xu's soldiers entered Nanjun to dig saltpeter without any obstruction, on the contrary, Hu Ling was also collecting saltpeter in a big way during this time, Qingyuan County, Nanjun, all the pharmacies in these two places were turned over.

The yield of saltpeter is very low, pharmacies and clinics have long been used to make arsenic, poisons, etc., I heard that once saltpeter is mixed with extremely fire-focused medicinal materials, if people eat in the stomach, it will immediately burn in the stomach, which is equivalent to the legendary 'spontaneous combustion'!

It is extremely domineering, it is a banned drug of the government, and it is generally not put out in a fair and bright way.

..............

On this day, Wang Xu finished dealing with the affairs of the Hero Building, and was ready to set off to visit Huang Gongde and Ziyu, since Hu Ling entered the southern capital, the Huang family's mansion was no longer placed in the southern capital, and the twenty settled in Yanshan, a hundred miles away from the southern capital, the reason why the two entered the southern capital with Wang Xu that day was also to do it, if not, the two would definitely not come to the southern capital.

Huang Gongde and Ziyu are like two mountains. has been oppressed in front of Wang Xu, so that Wang Xu has to go to visit, because if Wang Xu wants to pull talents from Nanjun, he must have the support of Huang Gongde and Ziyu in order to get familiar with everyone in a short time.

This time, the person brought by Wang Xu is still Zhang Meng. As for Yan Zheng, he was left in the Hero Building by Wang Xu.

There are more than 100 miles to Yanshan, and there are also bandits and so on, and Zhang Meng is by his side. Wang Xu was very relieved.

Zhang Meng's martial arts are much higher than Qin Shuang, Haolin, and other Jinyi guards, and after encountering a big event, only Zhang Meng can deal with it calmly and protect Wang Xu's safety. Wang Xu took Zhang Meng out of the Hero Building and ran out of the city.

Carriage. Stop at the city gates.

Entering and exiting the city gates must be inspected to ensure a stable situation.

Every citizen who left the city was inspected at the gate before they could go out of the city. Wang Xu saw the carriage stop, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked at the situation ahead. I saw a tiger general standing at the gate of the city, holding his head high, pressing his left hand on the hilt of the knife, carefully checking the people and leaving.

This tiger will not be someone else. It was Fukangan, who once escorted Huang Gongde and Ziyu, but was not invited to the banquet. His eyes were like lightning, his momentum was compelling, and his cold gaze swept over the people, making the passers-by fearful and afraid to face Fukangan's gaze.

"Hey, it's Fukangan?"

Wang Xu was surprised in his heart, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

His mind turned, thinking of meeting Huang Gongde and Ziyu, he once said that Fukangan was a general. At that time, Huang Gongde and Ziyu didn't speak, but just glanced at Fukangan meaningfully. To Wang Xu's surprise, Fukangan, a tiger general, turned out to be a general guarding the city gate. Wang Xu was very surprised and excited.

I was surprised because Fukangan was not reused, and Haolin did not explain this, saying that Fukangan was a small official at the city gate, but he never thought about it. This is also too small, so small that it is only for the position of captain, Wang Xu originally thought that Fukangan should at least be the general stationed at the city gate.

In this way, Wang Xu is even more excited, this is his chance.

Wang Xu secretly said in his heart that Hu Ling was too blind, how could it be reasonable for a fierce general like Fukangan to be placed here as a city guard!

Wang Xu's mind turned, and he hurriedly got off the carriage and headed towards Fukangan.

Fukangan was maintaining order, and suddenly saw Wang Xu coming, and his eyes showed a look of surprise. Without waiting for Wang Xu to speak, Fukangan bowed his hand and said, "Fukangan, meet King Wen!" ”

For Wang Xu, Fukangan still has a good impression. At least Wang Xu didn't ignore him like Hu Ling, but said that he had the talent of a general, which made Fukang feel at ease. For a military general with great talent, it is not how many people he can kill on the battlefield, or how many feats he can achieve, but he needs someone who can appreciate his talent and let him display his talent, which is the most important thing.

Wang Xu arched his hand and smiled: "General Fu, why are you at the gate of the city, isn't the general serving in the army?" ”

A gloomy look flashed on Fu Kang'an's face, and he said: "King Wen is too famous, and Kang'an is very suitable for serving as the captain of the city gate." Besides, Kang An is not the general of Nanjun, so please call King Wen a certain captain of Fu. ”

Wang Xu smiled: "Okay, then I'll call you Kang'an directly." ”

Fukangan is about forty-five years old, but it is a bit rude for Wang Xu to call him by his name, but with Wang Xu's current identity, there seems to be nothing wrong, and it seems that the two of them are more cordial.

After a pause, Wang Xu asked again: "Kang'an, how long does it take to go to Yanshan?" ”

The way to Yanshan, Wang Xu knows.

After all, he stayed in the Heroes Building for two days, which was enough to find out the situation.

Wang Xu said this, nothing more than wanting to get closer to Fukangan. Originally, Wang Xu didn't know Fukangan's official position, especially when Wang Xu met Fukangan, Fukangan was sent by Hu Ling to protect the safety of Huang Gongde and Ziyu, which is enough to prove that Fukangan is valued by Hu Ling. Huang Gongde and Ziyu's fame was there, Hu Ling sent people to protect the two, and he had to lead the troops with his henchmen, but he didn't think that things would be very different.

When Wang Xu learned of the situation, he saw Fukangan standing at the gate of the city guarding the gate, and his heart moved.

A city gate captain is undoubtedly overkill for Fukangan.

Fukangan heard Wang Xu's question, but he didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "It takes half a day to go to Yanshan." Dare to ask King Wen, is it to go to Yanshan to meet Huang Gongde and Mr. Ziyu? ”

"That's right! Exactly. ”

Wang Xu nodded and said, "Kang'an, you are familiar with the situation in Nanjun, what should you pay attention to when you go to Yanshan?" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu said in a low voice: "Well, are there bandits and bandits blocking the way?" ”

Fukangan thought for a while and said: "This time to Yanshan, there is no small night in the way. However, due to the proximity to the mountains and forests, the road is very difficult to walk. If there is no one to lead the way, King Wen is likely to lose his way. Well, if this is the case, I send a soldier to lead the way for King Wen, what does King Wen think? ”

Wang Xu arched his hand and said: "So, thank you Kang'an." (To be continued.) )
