In the ancient Song Dynasty, after the advent of fireballs, muskets and other firearms, they showed great power on the battlefield, and the military status of firearms gradually rose, and their influence also grew. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although firearms were not widely used due to the times, they have shown an irreplaceable role in some battles.

The Song Dynasty paid special attention to the management and protection of firearms, and the manufacture and use of firearms were supervised by special institutions. Influenced by this, the Liao army also paid attention to the search for its manufacturing and use methods.

Zeng Chong once broke the ban blockade of the Song Dynasty, obtained the gunpowder formula of the Song army, and manufactured it, and then reviewed the artillery on a large scale in Yanjing, which gave the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers a lot of shock.

It can be seen that once the drawings of firearms are leaked, the pattern of the Song Dynasty will undergo major changes.

The weather was hot and dry, but Zhao Liang was in a cold sweat.

He knew very well that the drawing in front of him was not a treasure, but a talisman. Even if it is returned to the Tangut people, it will still be killed and destroyed, and there is a risk of handing it over to the state, and if the drawings are leaked again, it cannot be ruled out that they will be suspected of themselves.

"Eh, what are you thinking?"

Seeing Zhao Liang's thoughtful face, Li Yan moved forward and pushed his arm curiously.

Zhao Liang frowned, and waved his hand like a fly: "Don't move, let me think again." ”

"By the time you stupid pig finishes thinking about it, I guess it's going to be dark!"

Li Yan puffed out her mouth and made a grimace, and ran to the side angrily, no longer speaking.

Without interference, you will think things through. Zhao Liang stared at the official seal on the drawing, his brain running rapidly.

The firearms manufacturing center of the Northern Song Dynasty was Bianjing, and the main production area of gunpowder was Zezhou. The Tangut people appeared in Bianjing and also had the design drawings of gunpowder, which was obviously done by someone in Kaifeng City. And Zhao Liang speculated that if this person could get the drawings under the supervision of the weapons supervisor, then he was either a member of the military department or a powerful minister with a high status.

And now the only way is to hand over the drawings to the government first, and then find out the spies in the court.

But the question is, how can your son have confidential drawings?

Picked up on the road? Falling from the sky? Sent by a mysterious beggar?

Don't say that those ministers don't believe it, Zhao Liang himself doesn't believe it either!

"Alas! Another nuisance! Zhao Liang rubbed his temples with his hands, and couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing.

"Why don't you bother! Have you thought of a solution? , the Tanguts won't give us much time! Li Yan rolled her eyes, still haunted by what had just happened.

Zhao Liang didn't fight back at her bad attitude, pursed his lips and nodded: "I think I thought of it, but it's ......"

Hearing that there was a way, Li Yan swept away her depression, suddenly showed a happy look, and hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”

Zhao Liang hesitated: "However, there is still one step away. ”

Li Yan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it!" ”

Zhao Liang sat cross-legged on the grass, pulled a dog's tail and put it in his mouth, and then said slowly: "If the drawings are not given to the Xixia people, we will all be killed by them, the only way is to hand them over to the government, for the sake of safety, I suggest that the sooner the better, after all, once the drawings are lost, our situation will be very embarrassing." ”

……

Li Yan looked at Zhao Liang and asked suspiciously, "It's over?" ”

Zhao Liang nodded: "En!" ”

Li Yanhu wondered: "What should I do with the Xixia people?" If we hand over the drawings to the government, they will still kill people! ”

Zhao Liang shook his head, and the dog's tail grass swayed in the air. "I'll ask you two questions."

Li Yan felt strange, but nodded anyway.

"Where are we now?" Zhao Liang asked.

"In the palace of Bianjing!" Li Yan said the answer in one bite

"How many people are there at most in the Tangut gangsters?"

……

Li Yan thought about it for a long time, and found that she really didn't know, so she said in frustration: "I don't know how many people there are, do you know?" ”

How could I possibly know!

Zhao Liang rolled his eyes at her: "The person who asked the question, does anyone know the answer?" You can guess one! ”

"That's right, that's one!" Li Yan blinked her apricot eyes.

……

"One can't do it, it's too little!" Zhao Liang said with a dark face.

Li Yan was a little impatient: "Those two! ”

Zhao Liang said angrily: "Two can't do it, more more!" ”

Li Yan thought about it fiercely, then looked at Zhao Liang's face and said with a weak heart: "Three, three is okay?" ”

……

Tamad! Can you still swing the sculls happily? Three gangsters, do you need me to sit here and think of a way for so long?

Zhao Liang angrily picked up a handful of grass from the ground, wanting to get angry, but when he looked up, he saw Li Yan take out a dagger and turn out broken flowers in the air, so he was instantly deflated.

"Three, can't you?" Li Yan raised her willow eyebrows, and her words were full of provocation.

It's a pity that my Yuanqing went back to the room to take a nap, otherwise...... Hum!

Zhao Liang really wanted to ask his subordinates to bring a big knife to see whose weapon was longer, but after careful consideration, he felt that he might put his life into it in the end, so he didn't take any actual action.

"Three is enough!" Zhao Liang said sadly.

"Any questions? Let's hear about it! I gave it all answers! Li Yan's eyes bent into crescents and smiled happily.

"It's gone!"

Zhao Liang never wanted to ask Li Yan any more questions, just like he never wanted to eat with Zhu Datou.

"By the way, what's the use of asking these questions?" Li Yan withdrew the dagger and asked in surprise.

Finally got to the point, Zhao Liang smiled and said: "You just mentioned that we are in Kaifeng City, and there are not many people in Western Xia, so ......"

"Huh?"

Li Yan made a questioning voice and took out a dagger again, the meaning of the threat was overflowing.

Feeling a murderous aura, Zhao Liang hurriedly changed his words: "We are in Bianjing, and there are only three villains in the Western Xia people, so we can ask for the protection of the government and let the officials investigate and arrest them." ”

Li Yan smiled happily, but quickly reacted: "No, no, no!" I am a female thief, how can the government protect me! Besides, the government's investigative ability is so bad that I can't detect the theft for decades, so I might as well check it myself! ”

Zhao Liang wiped his sweat: "Hearing you say this, it's okay to check it yourself, but you still have to hand over the drawings to the government, otherwise something happens, and we can't afford it." ”

Li Yan didn't say anything, a little regretful.

Few people can resist the temptation of money, and she is no exception.

Zhao Liang explained: "Don't think about it, no one can afford to buy this drawing, you still have to think about what excuse to hand it over to the government!" ”

Of course, Li Yan, who was smart in ice and snow, knew what Zhao Liang was afraid of, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke: "It's simple, just say that you picked it on the ground!" ”

"Hiss~"

Zhao Liang gasped: "Can this work?" ”

Li Yan showed a fox-like smile, and asked irreprovocatively, "Where can't it work, what a good excuse!" There is no proof of death, you can make it up however you want! ”

"I'll go, it's death without proof, but who will believe it!" Zhao Liang wanted to scold his mother, and he wanted to do it very much.

Li Yan no longer gave Zhao Liang a chance to speak, and preemptively spoke: "It's so decided, you will send it to the government tomorrow!" I'm still busy, go first, and come to Zuimenglou to find me if I have something to do, and say goodbye! ”

After speaking, Li Yan jumped up out of thin air, jumped over the wall, and disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Liang stayed in place, staring blankly at the wall, as if he had an understanding.

After a long time, he suddenly shouted, "Someone! ”

The servant ran in panic: "What's the matter with the child?" ”

Zhao Liang exclaimed: "Hurry up and raise the wall for me, the higher the better!" ”

The servant was puzzled, "Why is that?" ”

Zhao Liang half-opened his mouth, and muttered with dull eyes: "If my guess is correct, our family may have been remembered by thieves!" ”

Servant: "......"
