Chapter 218: Finding the Treasure

Shen Wanjin smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, how to see how Xiaoxian likes it. One of the three giants of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, he may be in such a high position in the future. Shen Wanjin now feels that it is really wise to practice martial arts by his daughter. Shen Wanjin was happy, and hurriedly ordered someone to buy a banquet, how could Liaodong Hou and Liaodong Thorn Shi be lazy.

"Then who, go and invite the eldest young master, just say that his brother-in-law is here, hurry up and come out to meet."

The little maid ran to the inner house like a rabbit, and it didn't take long to hear only one voice coming.

"Where is the brother-in-law, where is the brother-in-law. Wowha, hello brother-in-law. ”

Zhou Xiaoxian looked at the brother-in-law who was pulling Wang Meng and calling his brother-in-law, and his nose was crooked. I saw that this brother-in-law looked like a tiger with a bear's waist and a bearded face. He was wearing only a short coat, and the holes in the clothes were next to each other. Hyo-hyun thought to himself that this dress is very cool, wow, is this uncle not quite in his brain.

Wang Meng smiled and pointed at Zhou Xiaoxian and said, "Brother Shen, that's your brother-in-law." ”

The eldest son of the Shen family turned around and looked at Zhou Xiaoxian, his face was full of excitement and disappeared immediately, and after looking at Zhou Xiaoxian, he actually showed a look of disgust.

"I thought my sister had found a hero, but it turned out to be a little white face. This doesn't work, I don't agree, get out of the marriage. ”

The style of painting turned a little fast, and Wang Meng was so frightened that his mouth opened wide for a while, and he couldn't speak. Zhou Xiaoxian has always disliked others, but now he is disgusted by his brother-in-law, which is really interesting. Sun Buregret smiled and looked at the two brothers staring at each other, and his heart blossomed.

"Haha, let you laugh at me, I caught my shortcomings this time."

Zhou Xiaoxian stood up, stopped Shen Wanjin, who was grabbing his son's ear and kicking him hard, and said to the eldest son of the Shen family: "What is the name of the elder brother, why do you despise the younger brother so much. ”

"My name is Shen Zhi, and Rong Rong is my own sister. I see that your face is like a peach blossom, your skin is white and thin, you must be a short-lived, and you must be a soft eater. My sister is going to marry the world's heroes, you can't do it. ”

Wang Meng squatted on the ground with his stomach in his arms, and Sun Buregret patted the table and praised Shen Zhi loudly for being a good brother. Shen Wanjin's old face was as bloodstained as blood, and he picked up the chair and was about to teach his son a lesson, but was stopped by Xiaoxian again.

"Father-in-law, don't be angry, my uncle must have misunderstood, wait for my son-in-law to talk to him in detail."

Zhou Xiaoxian has this temper, if you beg him, he may not be anything, the more you look down on him, the more he will have to compete with you.

"Does my uncle know who I am?"

"Who do you care? I just see if you have what it takes. ”

"I am the head of the Security Department of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, Niu Tianci is my eldest brother, and Wang Meng is my third brother. My name is Zhou Hsiao-hsien. ”

"What? You are the smiling tiger Zhou Hyo-hsien. Daddy, how did you get him home? Our poor and small families can't afford to climb high, and they must withdraw from their marriage. ”

Shen Wanjin was almost angry with his son, and finally found a golden beetle son-in-law, how could he let it go. Shen Wanjin held Zhou Xiaoxian with one hand and stopped Shen Zhi with the other. He begged Shen Zhi: "Son, your sister has finally found a good son-in-law, don't make trouble." This matter is in charge of the Father, and you can't talk nonsense. Oh, son-in-law. Your eldest brother is a little unclear, don't blame the virtuous son-in-law. ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, wait for the son-in-law and uncle to have a good exchange. May I ask my uncle, what kind of sister-in-law do you want to find for Rong Rong? ”

"Haha, it's easy. I'll show you something, and if you can use it, I'll agree to the marriage. I'm afraid that you are racking your brains and don't know how to use it, I think you should withdraw from the marriage earlier, so as not to delay yourself. ”

"Tell you, I'm married to your sister. Hurry up and take out your treasure for me to see. ”

"A gentleman's word?"

"Whip it up."

"You don't regret it?"

"There is nothing in the world that Zhou Xiaoxian regrets."

"There are gods in the head."

"Xiaoxian swears to the sky, if it is not Shen Rong, he will not marry, if there is any disobedience, all the property will be given to you."

"Master Hou and Lord Assassin Shi can be witnesses?"

Wang Meng and Sun Buregret nodded, they felt that something was wrong.

Hahahaha, Shen Zhi changed his unclear appearance, raised his head and laughed, and ran over to hug Zhou Xiaoxian.

"Brother-in-law, you're here, why are you here. However, it's good to come, it's good to come. Dad, our brother-in-law can't run away. ”

Shen Wanjin, who was still sad just now, is now full of spring breeze and gives his son a thumbs up. Zhou Xiaoxian said secretly: "Miserable, I didn't notice it for a while, and I was calculated by these two masters." Thinking about Shen Rong's power, Zhou Xiaoxian felt a chill on his back.

Shen Zhi said to Zhou Xiaoxian with a smile: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, in fact, my Rongrong is still very gentle, as long as you don't mess with her, everything will be fine." Come on, uncle, I'll show you the baby. ”

Zhou Xiaoxian really wanted to drown himself in the tea bowl this time, which was usually only his share of calculating people, and he didn't want to be calculated to death by the Shen family's father and son today. This is really a person who can't be good-looking, who said that people who are five big and three thick have no heart, Shen Zhi's heart and eyes are definitely no worse than Xiaoxian. Looking at the incomparably skillful use of this serial application, I don't know how many people have been set, no wonder Rong Rong's marriage is so rich, and it is difficult to have such a father and brother who is not rich.

Zhou Xiaoxian glared fiercely at the gloating Wang Meng and Sun Buregret, and waited for Shen Zhi to show him the treasure with a stomach full of anger. It didn't take long for Shen Zhi to come to the living room with a strange-shaped gadget.

"Brother-in-law, look at what this is, I promise you don't know how to use it."

Zhou Xiaoxian held the heavy gadget, and his heart beat violently. This thing is supported by wood, and a swarthy iron pipe is fixed at the top of the wooden support, and under the wooden support is a curved hook, and Zhou Xiaoxian's right index finger can just hook the hook. Hyo-hyun pulled the hook, and saw a bracket on the right side of the iron pipe open. Hyo-hyun looked at it and saw a small piece of flint inlaid on the bracket, and a flint was also inlaid in the corresponding position of the depression under the bracket. Hyo-hyun hooked the hook again, and the machine was merged, and he saw a spark flashing.

Others may not know what this is, but Zhou Xiaoxian does. Because there is such a thing in the drawings treasured by his eldest brother Niu Tianci, this thing is called a flintlock pistol, according to the eldest brother, it can replace the bow and crossbow. With this thing, it can be attacked and defended, and it is more powerful against cavalry. It's not that Tianci didn't think about making flintlock pistols, but due to the conditions, he never made them. And Niu Tianci really doesn't look down on flintlock pistols. Not to mention the short range and slow reloading, too much smoke affects the field of vision. What Niu Tianci wants is a real rifle that can fire continuously, using overall ammunition and firing pins, even if it is a single one. But this requirement is too harsh, and it is also a huge test of the scientific and technological level of this era.

Don't underestimate a rifle, even if it's an old-fashioned bolt-action rifle, it represents the highest level of technology in the manufacturing country at that time. It is a pinnacle masterpiece that integrates the latest achievements in metal smelting, casting and machining, physics, chemistry, mathematics and other disciplines. In this era, not to mention bolt-action rifles, even the flintlock pistol's predecessor, the velvet gun, did not appear. Shen Zhi was able to make a flintlock pistol without any experience, although this gun was very rough and primitive, but Zhou Xiaoxian also had to admit that Shen Zhi was definitely a genius who surpassed the level of ordnance manufacturing in this era.

Zhou Xiaoxian stabilized his emotions and asked Shen Zhi: "What about bullets and ******?" ”

Shen Zhi listened to Zhou Xiaoxian's question, and his eyes radiated a feverish light. At this time, he looked at Hyo-hyun as if he was looking at a lover. Shen Zhi trembled and handed a big horn and a bag to Zhou Xiaoxian, and the two brothers walked outside the living room together. Zhou Xiaoxian loaded the ****** under Shen Zhi's guidance, and pressed the projectile with a stabbing strip, he raised the flintlock pistol and aimed at a tree in the distance to pull the trigger.

Phew, after a loud bang, the thick smoke cleared, and the tree was still unscarred. Zhou Xiaoxian was a little embarrassed, could it be that this shot missed? But it's not that far.

Woooo There was a cry, and I saw a little maid squatting on the ground, holding a silver wine jug in her hand, and a thumb-thick wine arrow flew out of the silver wine jug. It turned out that when Xiaoxian was aiming at the big tree, the little maid happened to come over with a wine jug, but fortunately, at this time, Zhou Xiaoxian shot it, and it was estimated that the little maid would be killed by a single shot if it was a little later.

A gold coin made the little girl burst into tears and laughed, Zhou Xiaoxian took the wine jug and stuffed his fingers into the hole and tried it, well, there is still a surplus, if it hits someone, it will be repaid. Xiaoxian turned to the guards behind him and ordered: "Mobilize a hundred Leng Feng people, surround Shen Zhi's house, no one is allowed to approach, violators will be beheaded." The third brother sent five hundred flying tiger troops to surround the Shen family's compound, and no one was allowed to go out. Sun Tingshi, summoned the lord and asked him to come to Liaodong quickly. ”

Listening to Zhou Xiaoxian's series of orders, Shen Zhi didn't feel strange at all. This is a militaristic weapon, and only people who understand the meaning of flintlock pistols will attach so much importance to it, Shen Zhi feels that the setbacks and failures he has been experiencing have become extremely meaningful at this moment.

Five days later, Niu Tianci, who arrived with Pegasus, moved into the Shen Mansion. When he saw Shen Zhi's messy studio and the rough flintlock pistol, Tianci bowed respectfully to Shen Zhi. No matter what era it is, there are always some people among mankind who have walked in the forefront of this era through their unremitting efforts. But most of them are buried in history, because their inventions were so advanced that most of those in power could not see the epoch-making implications of them. So the invention of countless geniuses has become a flash in the pan, which is really a sigh for future generations.

Shen Zhi was lucky, he met Zhou Xiaoxian and Niu Tianci, and Niu Tianci was the one who understood this great significance. The ancestors of the Shen family have always been the master craftsmen of the Ordnance Department of the General Craftsman of the Great Yan Army, and they are known for making divine weapons and making exquisite and durable various ordnance. To this day, the Shen family still keeps a manuscript of the first generation of Yan Wang Long Xingyuan, which has many wonderful ideas, and this flintlock pistol is one of them.

Niu Tianci really picked up the treasure this time, so the R&D Department under the General Staff added a deputy director-level master, and Tianci named him the chief engineer. And Shen Zhi became the first chief engineer under Tianci who was responsible for the development of ordnance.

The boss of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion came to the Shen Mansion, and Shen Wanjin didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Niu Tianci was very kind to him, and agreed to the marriage of Zhou Xiaoxian and Shen Rong. Bags of gems and jadeite were piled up in front of Shen Wanjin. As far as this Tianci is embarrassed, he came in a hurry and didn't prepare, and he made up the dowry according to the rules another day, but he didn't see Shen Wanjin's eyes that had been straightened. Lao Shen was originally going to use half of the family property to recruit a son-in-law for his beloved daughter, but where did he think that half of the family property was worth less than a bag of gems, this uncle must not let it go.

Lao Shen took Niu Tianci's hand and discussed the marriage of the two children. It is said that this matter should be discussed between Lao Shen and Zhou Ruhai or Niu Dazhuang and his wife. But Lao Shen understands that as long as Niu Tianci agrees, everyone else knows without asking, and they must have no opinion.

Shen Zhi's studio, the apprentices who helped him develop it, and their families, were secretly relocated to Youzhou Dragon City under the escort of the Five Thousand Flying Tiger Army. After some discussion, Shen Wanjin also moved his family to Longcheng, leaving only a housekeeper and someone sent by Zhou Xiaoxian to take care of the shops and fields in Liaodong.

After returning to Dragon City, Niu Tianci's parents and Zhou Ruhai set Xiaoxian's wedding ten days later. It didn't take long for the news of Zhou Xiaoxian's wife to spread all over Sizhou, and I don't know how many women's hearts were broken that night. (To be continued.) )
