When Miao Yansi walked out of the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion, the signature expression on his face as if everyone else owed him hundreds of dollars was seen by people inside and outside.

The feud between him and Du Shiyi is no longer a rumor, but a fact that everyone knows it. It's just that such a guy who only has a false name and no real power, even though it is said that he can participate in the impeachment of the assassination history, but Miao Yansi has been here a few times before, from Wang Zhongsi to An Sishun Yao Feng, these people have participated in the impeachment one by one, but in the end, everyone was saved by Du Shiyi, and no one took him to heart anymore, and this time it was the same. Even when he got on his horse and left, there was a low voice of the doorman behind him.

"I heard that this old guy participated in the impeachment of Dashuai again, saying that Dashuai privately oppressed business travelers to raise the price of tea, and forced tea merchants to donate money for the reconstruction of Qinzhou."

"Isn't the marshal trying to ensure the salaries and rations of the generals and soldiers in the army? Although Qinzhou is indeed unlucky, if they all go to the rescue of them, will we drink the northwest wind? ”

Miao Yansi only took these words as a deaf ear, until he galloped back to his Longyou interview and disposal embassy, he locked himself in the study, and then an irrepressible smile appeared on his face. Hezhou Assassin History, and Zhenxi Military Envoy, so that he is no longer an empty envoy, can control a state, and also has the corresponding military power. You must know that among the four states of Shanzhou, Taozhou, Kuozhou, and Hezhou, in addition to the Lintao army, the rest will belong to the Zhenxi army. Being able to enter Hezhou, he doesn't have to look at people's faces in Shanzhou, and Du Shiyi's other promise is obviously full of sincerity.

If this matter fails, let him be the assassin of Shanzhou!

However, more than ten days later, the messenger from Luoyang rushed to Shanzhou at night, bringing the appointment of Miao Yanhei, the envoy of Longyou's interview and disposal, as the assassin of Hezhou and the military envoy of Zhenxi. Except for Du Shiyi and Miao Yansi, who were the only two who knew about the matter, everyone else was taken aback. Especially Guo Jian, who coveted the position of assassin in Hezhou, almost gritted his teeth about it. However, even if there was an uproar in the army, the appointment of the imperial court could not be regarded as child's play after all, not to mention, the messenger saw Du Shiyi again, and Du Shiyi released his words afterwards that he would personally send Miao Yansi to Hezhou to take office, and at this moment, even the subordinate officials of the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion and the Longyou Jiedu Embassy had to be silenced.

Although this is Du Shiyi's first visit to Hezhou after taking office in Longyoujiedu, however, his attitude is quite cold, and anyone can see that he is more polite to Miao Jinqing than to Miao Yansi. On the contrary, Miao Jinqing was able to return to Beijing and join the Sixth Ministry as a Lang official this time, his spirit was full of light, and he privately persuaded Miao Yansi to say a good thing in the face of this situation, but he was met with a tough response, and in the end he had to apologize to Du Shiyi for Miao Yansi's ignorance of current affairs.

"Du Dashuai, my uncle should have been out of town all these years, so his temperament has become more and more extreme and mean, please see that he is old, don't worry about some things with him."

Do a full set of plays, since Miao Jinqing believed it and persuaded him so much, Du Shiyi simply took out the stumbling block that Miao Yansi had given him after taking office, and seeing Miao Jinqing's face full of embarrassment, he said with a little resentment: "All in all, in the future, he will be in Hezhou and I will be in Shanzhou, as long as he doesn't provoke me, I won't care about his business!" People say that the son is his father, but his two sons are compared to him...... Hum! ”

sent Miao Yansi to Hezhou to take office, and Du Shiyi returned immediately without any delay. After returning to the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion, he learned that Guo Jian, the general of the Lintao army, was ill. Even if this person is really sick or falsely ill, it is still unknown, but his current attitude to the outside world is because of what the envoy said, he had to send Miao Yansi to take office, and immediately sent Zhang Xing to visit Guo Jian. Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Xing came back, he said that Guo Jian was full of complaints, resentful and angry with Miao Yansi, and even intended to make some stumbling blocks for Miao Yansi in the Zhenxi Army.

"Where this person is good at drilling, he is simply in the same vein as the rest of the Guo family." Although Du Shiyi felt that Guo Jian was a little greedy, however, his purge of the Guo family was enough, if he went further and uprooted the Guo family from Longyou, it would not only be not conducive to the stable situation of Longyou, but also the emperor Zaifu would not blindly favor him as before. So, he thought about it and said to Zhang Xing, "These **** go to Guo Jian's place and sit down, and tell him that Miao Yansi is the person who has to be added to Li Xiangguo's blue eyes in the court, and he had better settle down." After all, the matter between Guo Zhili and Guo Yingyi has just passed. ”

took out the second Guo as a warning, and Guo Jian suddenly wilted. Even if he was dissatisfied with Miao Yansi, he also knew that this time it was not that Du Shiyi did not help him, but that someone in the court was pressuring. Since he had to accept this reality, within a few days, he could only cheer up and come out of the council, but after a lifetime of heart disease, his spirit suddenly became a little sluggish, and he was not as wary of Wang Zhongsi as he was before.

On this day, Du Shiyi only took a few entourages and quietly came to the Qingxuguan in the southeast corner of Huangshui City. Because it is closer to the Western Regions, the believers of Buddhism are far better than the Taoists, there are only two Taoist temples in the entire Huangshui City, and such as this Qingxu Temple is almost declining, in the past, the old Taoist priest who is the master of the view lived a poor life, so when there were two Taoist priests who were willing to pay a high price to buy their own Taoist temple, he immediately took the money to travel around the world to have fun without saying a word. However, the Taoist temple that changed its owner immediately changed the weather. The wall has increased, and the number of people dressed up as Taoist children has also increased, and all that is heard is the sound of banging from time to time throughout the day.

The neighbors thought it was strange at first, but after asking, they learned that it was two alchemists who bought this place, refining the elixir of life, and if it was a dignitary in the two capitals, they might be able to act, but these small people immediately scoffed. The two ingots were generously given gold cakes called gold by the Taoist priest of Youfang, and after they were sent to the gold and silver shop by a good deed person to cut them open and inspect them, they were found to be fakes, and no one took the two alchemists in the Qingxu Temple seriously. Even if someone asks, they often get a contemptuous hum.

"Hmph, those two charlatans! Otherwise, how can you fry the oven all day long! ”

However, at this moment, Du Shiyi was standing in front of these two wandering Taoist priests, listening carefully to their progress in the past few months.

"Lang Jun's ignition and explosion technique of mixing sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, the two of us have tried various ratios, and the experiment has been no less than 100 times, and now this one should be the safest and most reliable."

The two Taoist priests are in their forties, wandering around the world to sell their elixir, and sometimes they can meet those unjust big-headed financiers, so they eat and drink spicy, but most of the time, they will be driven out as liars. Their master is an old Taoist priest who is obsessed with the art of Danshu, but although they have learned most of the master's skills, they only have the heart to make money, and have no intention of carrying forward this technique. This time they traveled all the way to Huangshui, Shanzhou, peddling their own alchemy on the streets, and after meeting an extremely generous female employer, they came to work from time to time, and not only became the masters of this pure emptiness, but also obtained extremely richly.

The only strange thing is that the other party doesn't want to refine the elixir, nor does he want to turn stones into gold, so he wants to experiment with the phenomenon of alchemy explosion - and what he needs is a stable formula that will explode within a few breaths after ignition!

People die for money, birds die for food, and for the rich remuneration offered by others, they blow up the Dan furnace every day, and they are disgraced all day long, and once or twice they almost lost their lives!

Therefore, in front of Du Shiyi, although the two didn't know what the connection between him and the previous female employer was, they still tried their best to explain the joints. From the ratio to the power of the explosion, especially from the ignition to the explosion of a few breaths, and even cited the sulfur fire method in the original Sun Simiao Nadan Sutra, every word could not help boasting about the erudition of the two. Du Shiyi listened quietly for a while, and then smiled slightly: "At the beginning, the Medicine King used soaphorn in the fire method mentioned in the Dan Sutra, but I asked you to use charcoal instead, and I think you also know that the power of this explosion is stronger." Thinking about it, these days, the number of times the two of them have narrowly escaped death is probably a lot. ”

Sulfur saltpeter is the most commonly used by Taoist priests in alchemy, but charcoal is rarely used in medicine, so both of them have always felt incredible to put this kind of thing in. At this moment, Du Shiyi made it clear that the purpose was to explode, and mentioned that they were still alive when they experimented with this thing, and the two You Fang Daoists glanced at each other, and at the same time felt a chill in their hearts. At this time, one of them, Chen Lijie, squeezed out a smile, and then said flatteringly: "What Lang Jun said is that it is indeed dangerous, fortunately, the two of us have experienced it before, and we only suffered a small injury......

"I have invited you to experiment on this with a lot of money, so I naturally value your talents. If you die before you get out of school, won't it be my loss? I'll teach you a method, don't just think about using a hidden fire when ignition, why don't you try to use a medicinal thread, that is, the medicinal thread burns to the end, so that you can ignite those proportions of the drug, so that it can be much safer. ”

Du Shiyi even said that he died before leaving the school, and Chen Lijie and Mao Jiang suddenly shuddered again. Although the other party looks like he is only in his thirties, he is very young, but the attitude of being in a high position inadvertently revealed between words makes them quite frightened after many years of swaggering and deception. However, the other party's familiarity with Sun Simiao's Dan Sutra even proposed a method of medicine thread that made people suddenly break the mouth, and this kind of erudition and wide memory made them admire.

"I don't know why Lang Dao Langjun doesn't seek immortality, doesn't seek alchemy, and only experiments with this explosive thing?" Chen Lijie couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart after all, and finally opened his mouth to ask. As soon as the words came out, he saw that the other party's complexion turned cold, and he regretted it in an instant. Not only him, but Mao Jiang also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and complained to his companion half to death in his heart.

"You don't need to ask much about what I ask for, as long as you can develop what I ask for thoroughly, I will be rewarded." Du Shiyi is very satisfied with the current progress, but does not want to leak the matter out of nowhere. If the gunpowder he developed could really be stable and even put into practical use, he would not take it out easily. It is important to know that the development of weapons is the duty of the weapons superintendent, and he does not have such authority, so this matter needs to continue to be kept secret.

After leaving Qingxuguan, he said to Chibi beside him: "You find a remote mountain outside Huangshui City, and then take these two people over." Although the small explosions that have been happening in the past are considered to be frozen, it doesn't matter if they are three or five months, but they will inevitably arouse suspicion over time. Then you have to think of a way to make sure that the two of them are dead set on working for me. This kind of thing needs someone who is proficient in this way, and I don't want to kill people casually. ”

When Chibi heard this, he immediately responded in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Lord Lang, I will let them bow their heads!" ”
