The tiger and leopard room in the west garden of the Beijing Division, is a royal garden built outside the west city, on the fourteenth day of the first month, it is rumored that the suave young emperor, raised the brand-new rear-loading fire/gun presented by the courtiers, and fired five shots at a black bear less than fifty paces, Peng, Peng, as a result, the black bear that was scared and trembled, in addition to the rattling of the iron rope on the body, the fur was not injured.

The emperor, who drooped his face, with a long horse face, took the three-eyed fire hammer handed by the eunuch, lit the fire rope, "touch, touch," a large piece of iron pills swept over, and the black bear, who screamed miserably, was completely dying.

"Really, the Persian goods are bright on the surface and are not of great use," the emperor who seriously despised the rear-loading fire/gun, and with a relaxed sentence, he vetoed the performance of the military department's Shangshu, this kind of firearm that costs a lot of money but has the effect of making him lose face, is still not as practical as the three-eyed firearm handed down from his ancestors.

The three-eyed firearm that can be used as a cold weapon after running out of medicine is multi-purpose, in Zhengde's view, that is the real Ming weapon, and the firearm created in the wilderness is not suitable for the Ming army.

However, due to the recommendation of the Three Tigers of the Jingshi Border Army, Emperor Zhengde still ignored the crookedness of the eunuchs and the Four Tigers, and decided/purchased 1,000 rear-loading fires/guns to equip the Shenji Battalion.

Unexpectedly, this decision has not yet reached the cabinet, and the next day there was a fire in the Qianqing Palace, so that Zhengde had no idea, and he had to be persuaded by the bigwigs to issue an edict to punish himself, and the matter of buying fire/guns was also postponed indefinitely by the eunuchs.

Xiao Ye didn't care about the affairs of Jingshi, or even the affairs of Shaanxi Xingdusi, he was in the savage grassland, and his relationship with the mainland was already quite indifferent.

In the absence of major events, and with Mei'er and Lena about to give birth, he could only stay in Madao Stone Castle and practice the sword technique handed down by the Ximen family with the guards all day long.

In the past, his strength was insufficient, and the family knife technique was just an ordinary knife technique except for adjusting the breathing method to condense the spirit, but now he can finally take it out and study it.

"The horse pile has been standing for three years, and the starting style is small," this is the simplest sentence, Xiao Ye has practiced for nearly five years, which shows that his endowment is not very good, if he doesn't have a powerful potion, I'm afraid that with this one open-door starting style, he will practice to become the best in his life.

"Eight Swords of the Army", this is the knife technique used by the ancestor when he followed the founding emperor, and I heard my father say that the ancestor used a knife of 307 catties in order to exert the power of the knife.

The reason why Xiao Ye sent someone to make a horse/knife was not a whim, and others didn't understand the deep meaning in it, and he didn't bother to say it.

When competing with Yang Eighteen, Xiao Ye took out the simplest starting style and taught Yang Eighteen, the cold wind brought by the knife through the cracked wood, he was thrilled in retrospect.

"Starting style, not moving like a mountain, moving as fast as a shadow, my speed is still a lot slower," In the backyard martial arts arena, Xiao Ye, who was simply tied behind his head with long hair tied back and shirtless, was carrying a short-handled horse/knife in his hand, black pants and short boots, and stopped the moves in his hand with sweat.

In the cold dawn, the morning twilight gradually dissipated, and on the martial arts field, with Xiao Ye's long breathing, his abdomen swelled slightly, and the hot air spewed out gathered into two white mist, but the heat on his body was slightly steaming, much more constricted than that of ordinary guards.

The essence of "Eight Swords" not only pursues faster speed, but also has unparalleled slashing strength.

"The first knife wound tiger pounced on the mountain, and it hurt all over the body as soon as it came down, so can you practice well next," Xiao Ye, who was helpless, shook his head with a wry smile, snapped the horse/knife into the ground, and turned around and went to the water room.

He couldn't think of it, the ancestor could only practice the sword technique into four moves, and the next four moves only had pattern moves, and no one really practiced them. The tricks of slashing the army and the way of breathing with him, he was forced to memorize by Simon Gale since he remembered, although he firmly remembered it, but he was not sure which step he could practice.

Ximen Gale only practiced a small starter, and the first move in the back was powerless, so he could only turn to practice archery.

Yang Eighteen followed behind Xiao Ye, pulled out the chopping horse/knife, wiped it with a cloth, put it into the sheath, handed it to Li Shan, and left the martial arts arena with the big leader with light steps; It turned out that he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart when he took out Xingyi Quan to teach others, but now he has a clear idea.

Xiao Ye practiced knife skills, never shy away from their guards, as long as he could follow along, Xiao Ye was happy to find time to learn from them, and Yang Eighteen benefited a lot.

After washing, he changed into a black uniform, Xiao Ye didn't care about breakfast, took a few guards, and went directly to the mill compound.

In the mill compound, Kang Hongyuan and more than 20 old craftsmen were already guarding the gate of the mill, and the other craftsmen's families were ordered by the guards to return to the military house and not to come out; A large number of black-clothed guards guarded a huge courtyard inside and out.

"Uncle Kang, let's start," Outside the mill, Xiao Ye suppressed the restlessness in his heart, smiled and greeted the big guy, and quietly instructed.

"Hey, okay," Kang Hongyuan, who was wearing a fur coat, although he didn't understand why Xiao Ye was so solemn, he still waved his hand skillfully, and the old guys behind him pushed a dozen wheelbarrows and pushed bags of herbs into the mill.

In the list that Xiao Ye listed for Jin Sanniang, it was just an ordinary dozen kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, although the unit price was not expensive, but it was not a matter of a thousand taels of silver tickets if the quantity was large.

Jin Sanniang and the heavy stones they brought to Xiao Ye, the accumulation of one or two times, finally allowed the machining center to continue to repair, the central database was randomly repaired 10 thousandths, and the machining platform was repaired 11.6 percent, such a slow speed, Xiao Ye was not used to it.

What made him excited was the third directory that appeared in his mind, and with it, the disappearance of the primary potion of power; In its place, it is this list of pills.

In the catalog that can be seen at a glance, there are only three pills, but they are enough to make Xiao Ye forget with shock.

Detoxification pill, for detoxification; Muscle-building pill, used for the treatment of injuries; Powerful pills, but they are an alternative to powerful potions.

Qingxin Pill and Shengji Pill are each divided into four grades, and the Chinese herbs needed are mixed together, there is no exact recipe, just a long list of herbal names, Xiao Ye doesn't know which one to use. The only thing he knew was that these two pills, the most critical ingredient was not this large pile of herbs, but the living essence blood contributed by the black house, this kind of secret, he would never tell anyone, it was really terrifying.

The living human essence blood required for the Clearing Poison Pill and the Muscle Generating Pill is insignificant compared to the Powerful Pill, but it is also very troublesome if the amount is large.

And the first grade of the powerful pill requires all the essence blood of the two captives, all the way to the best pill after the third grade of the upper rank, not counting the massive medicinal herbs, it takes thousands of people's essence blood to exchange for one, recalling the introduction in the catalog in his mind, Xiao Ye couldn't help but have a cold war on his body.

However, Xiao Ye, who has already taken this step, wants to stop, but he is resolutely unwilling, it is easy to return to luxury, if he wants the Ximen family to survive unharmed, and live without worrying about food and clothing, he can only keep going.

However, his worries about the machining center never rose in his heart, and what would happen if the underground stone was broken, which made Xiao Ye wonder for a long time, and also prompted him to forcibly store firearms in Eagle Talon Fort.

As for the rhodium metal, it depends on luck, until now Xiao Ye still doesn't know which batch of goods it got in from, and it will take a while to find it.

Today, Xiao Ye just wants to see how effective this most elementary pill, the three pills, can be.

Thousands of catties of various herbs were sent to the stone mill to grind the eyes, and the craftsmen retreated, only Kang Hongyuan stayed alone in the mill according to Xiao Ye's request, pulling the short donkey around in a slow circle.

In the dim light, Xiao Ye walked up to the stone mill, followed Kang Hongyuan's footsteps, stared at the stone mill with a diameter of almost one zhang, turned it easily and smoothly, and silently took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, which contained some of his blood.

"Smack," the porcelain vase was wrapped in a thick cloth and thrown into the grinding eye, Kang Hongyuan pulled the donkey around a few times, and only then stopped after the stone grinding out half of the plaster.

"Uncle Kang, it's hard for you to run again and take out the goods," the voice came, and Xiao Ye had already left the gate of the mill.

After the hard work of the craftsmen, the tunnel can already walk two big cars side by side, nearly two people high, otherwise the black transport vehicle, Kang Hongyuan really can't get it.

Li Shan accompanied Kang Hongyuan, got into a carriage, and went directly into the cave with a handlamp, this time he wanted to go to the belly of Shiguan Tunshan in person; There is no way, Xiao Ye is really not worried about the pill that appeared for the first time.

This kind of thing that is just a legend in the mouths of the old people can only be seen in the depths of the Jingshi Palace, but now, Xiao Ye has the opportunity to taste it.

On the fire kang in the backyard bedroom, Xiao Ye stayed with his family and children until noon, and after lunch, he received a reply from Li Shan.

Hurriedly walking into the study, Xiao Ye raised his eyes and saw a square iron box on the desk, which seemed to be ordinary, which made him feel bottomless.

Pull off the lock and open the box, which is full of dozens of delicate small iron boxes, earthy yellow square iron boxes, only more than an inch in length and width; Xiao Ye took out one and looked at the Yin inscription on the lid of the box, "Poison Cleansing Pill, Elementary Grade"

Flipping open the lid, a ball the size of a broad bean, wrapped in thick sealing wax and embedded in the groove of the box, is not decorated.

Poison Clearing Pill, thirty primary products, Muscle Pill, fifty primary products, Powerful Pills, six primary products, after looking through them, Xiao Ye put these small iron boxes that looked basically the same into the box.

Compared with the first-grade pill and the best pill, the herbs consumed were more than three times more, and Xiao Ye was only in the wait-and-see stage at the moment, of course, he only took the cheapest.

After taking one of each, Xiao Ye sent Li Shan to the medical hall, and threw the Poison Clearing Pill and the Muscle Pill to Liu Yi, and asked him to find a patient to test it.

With a box of powerful pills in his hand, Xiao Ye went to the military compound of Wang Meng's barracks, and in the compounds of these barracks, there was a small stone prison that held assassins and spies who captured all parties.

In the guards who followed Xiao Ye, there were guards carrying a hundred-pound iron lock and took it directly to the stone prison. Yang Eighteen carried a small cloth bag and followed behind Xiao Ye.

Before the end of the year, the dozen or so people imprisoned in the semi-underground stone prison were basically all sent to Eagle Claw Fort, leaving only three spies sent by the Zhai family caravan, two men and one woman.

Xiao Ye, who originally planned to knock on the Zhai family and release him with a sum of silver, didn't want to simply release people this time, although the secret agent confessed all the confessions, but the pill in his hand needed them to confirm the efficacy.

The stone cells in the stone prison are separated by a calf-thick bar, two rows of ten rooms, and a narrow corridor in the middle, where the people are held without shackles, and each cell faces the ground, and the small window that is no more than half a foot wide cannot escape.

There are sergeants guarding outside the stone prison, and here is the military compound, full of strong sergeants, even if you want to rob and escape from prison, you must have strong strength; If he really had that strength, Xiao Ye wouldn't mind being robbed of the stone prison, and he just wanted to knock these eye-catching sergeants.

Walking down the steps of the stone prison, although it was cleaned inside, the smell of feces and urine still made Xiao Ye's brows difficult; Guided by a short man, he walked to the railing of the nearest cell.

The hand light pillar swept over, looking at the man who was cowering in the corner, Xiao Ye nodded, Shi Chang opened the cell door with a bang, went in and grabbed the man's collar, dragged him to the railing, and pressed the ground in the gap between the two poles.

"Eat it, and you'll be able to go," Xiao Ye, who had a gloomy face, took out the iron box, took out the wax-sealed pill, and crushed the wax-sealed.

The scarlet elixir exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, and in the man's stunned and frightened cry for help, Xiao Ye pinched his chin and stuffed the elixir into the mouth of this unlucky bastard.

The pill melted in his mouth, and Shi Chang slammed a blow on the man's back, and the man with his mouth wide open involuntarily swallowed the liquid and was kicked to the ground.

"You, you are Ximen Xiaoye?" The man who was retching while holding his throat, seeing that the pill couldn't spit it out, simply stared at Xiao Ye fiercely with his eyes, "You dare to set up a private prison to imprison the innocent, my Zhai family's guard is injured, just a hundred household officers, your whole family is dead, I'm sure that the Zhai family will not let you go,"

As he spoke, the man felt the heat rushing all over his body, and his body suddenly burst out with bubbling vitality, and the bones of his body, which had been starved for several days, surged with infinite strength.

"Huh, what is this?" The man touched his chest in surprise, and the scars on it no longer felt a sharp pain, and then he suddenly jumped up, bent his palms into claws, and pounced straight towards Xiao Ye.

Despite the solid prison bar, the man was sure to crush Xiao Ye's throat unexpectedly, and he stood too close.

"Bold," Shi Chang, who was standing in the prison, burst into a loud shout, rubbing the hunting knife out of its sheath, and before he stepped forward to stop it, he saw that the face of this Zhai family spy was suddenly red, and his whole body swelled uncontrollably, and his eyes began to bulge outward, and he fell to the ground with a click.

"Oh, don't, help me, help me," the man clutched his neck and couldn't breathe, suffocating himself on the ground, trying to kneel down and plead.

But the backlash of the powerful pill was extremely terrifying, and the man who didn't have time to scream twice, after the skeleton around him creaked a few times, "Peng" was like a big blister, splitting into a pile of broken flesh and bones, and directly poured the head who was watching him next to him with a bloody broth.

On the damp stucco floor, the clothes and shoes wrapped in a ball of flesh and mud, where can you still see that this is a fierce merchant agent, covered in flesh and blood, scolding and retreating.

Xiao Ye, who had dodged away earlier, swept his eyes to the cell next to him, and the men and women who were hiding on the side and watching coldly collapsed to the ground in horror, begging loudly, "No, don't kill me, we will explain all the affairs of the Zhai family, and we will never keep half a point,"

"My lord, don't kill us, we are willing to serve you," The Zhai family spies who were frightened by the tragic scene in front of them completely lost the slightest thought to deal with Xiao Ye, this person is simply a devil.

This kind of pill, which can explode even bones into tiny pieces, is still more pleasant for an agent with a mortal heart to be cut off with a knife, but who doesn't want to live a few more days.

Under the vicious persecution of the chief, two pills were stuffed into the mouths of the man and woman, but they were surprised to find that they were not dead, but alive and well.

In less than half an hour, the two spies of the Zhai family knelt at Xiao Ye's feet and swore allegiance to the big leader, and were immediately taken away by the heralds sent by Wang Ziliang.

Seeing the medicinal effect of the primary powerful pill with his own eyes, half of the apprehension in Xiao Ye's heart dissipated, he stood in place and thought for a while, and after glancing at this time prison, he turned around and stepped on the steps.

The iron lock was thrown in the compound of the military house, and a team of Tartar sergeants was also brought to Xiao Ye, they did not drink the blood of cattle and sheep on an empty stomach, and the other team of Han sergeants drank a large bowl of crimson ox blood on the spot.

The two teams of sergeants standing in front of Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye paced back and forth in front of them, for a while, and then stopped, "This leader needs three sergeants to verify the efficacy of the medicine, you volunteer to sign up, the consequences may be even worse, or you may die,"

"You don't have combat merits, but you have combat merits to verify the efficacy of the medicine, and those who are unwilling will not underestimate the leader, and those who are willing to take risks will not look up to it," Speaking of this, Xiao Ye pointed to the guards in the distance, his face was a little hideous.

"They have gone through several tests of life and death before they can wear black suits, you don't need to be envious, there is no shortcut to get rich,"

Two Tartar soldiers from the Galen tribe, a Han sergeant, stood in front of Xiao Ye, took the pill that the guard put in the palm of his hand, pinched the wax seal, and swallowed the pill without hesitation; For them, trusting the big boss's every word is a cliché that the centurion must say every day before the drill, but it is still very effective.

There was almost no difference in the reactions of the three of them, and they stood in front of everyone with red faces, snorting and panting, until a pillar of incense was over, and then they gradually returned to their normal looks.

After a few movements of their hands and feet, the three sergeants waited until the redness on their arms dissipated, successively lifted the hundred-pound iron lock, fiddled with it more than a dozen times, and stood up without changing their faces.

"Good, good, strong enough," said the twenty or so sergeants who were watching from the sidelines, cheering with great joy as their companions survived the torment of the effects of the medicine; The rumored frightening scene of the fire burning, in their opinion, is nothing more than that, and they really regret their death.

"The subordinates swear allegiance to the big leader," the three quasi-chiefs knelt in front of Xiao Ye, and after solemnly swearing an oath, they happily went to get together with their own chiefs, and their future prospects were eye-catching.

With a powerful elixir that was not too risky, the guards under Xiao Ye's command once again began to expand secretly, and Wang Meng's barracks were near the water, and Yang Eighteen had a lot of elite sergeants looted.

These sergeants who were booked by Yang Eighteen, once Xiao Ye's powerful pill came down, it would not take ten days for them to become a fourth-order sergeant and put on a black uniform instead; Of course, unlike those carefully selected guards, they can only be used as guards, and cannot be lowered to the barracks to serve as centurions at any time.

Wang Meng, who opened his eyes and closed his eyes to this, smiled helplessly, he knew that it would not be long before the war barracks of his subordinates would be transferred to the huge Ximen Stone Fort, and the adults' trust in him not only did not decrease, but they valued it more.

In that case, how many sergeants are lacking in the barracks will naturally be replenished, and as long as the drills are diligent, a thousand-man team will soon be full.

In the Madao Stone Fort Medical Hall, Liu Yi took the pill sent by Xiao Ye, although he didn't dare to break the medicine easily, but it was still possible to remove the wax seal on the pill; These two pills that exuded a strong medicinal fragrance made him feel less worried.

At least with the fragrance of this medicine, the patient's condition will not be aggravated, then he will have a chance to save it.

A sergeant with malaria in the infirmary was isolated in a stone house, a stubborn disease that was difficult to be effective in decoction, which was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also had to rely on the patient's own physical strength to resist; The sergeant said that if it was an ordinary craftsman, basically the chances of life and death would be average.

The sergeant who took the detoxification pill quickly relieved his condition, and he could be cured with a few more days of decoction; Liu Yi, who was pleasantly surprised, decisively dissolved the muscle-building pill with spirits and used it for the injured sergeant during the exercise.

In the evening, Xiao Ye and his family sat at the dinner table, eating hot pot lively, and the two wolf cubs wandered under their legs to pick up bones, chewing and crumbling.

Dengdeng, Dengdeng, as soon as the cotton curtain at the door was raised, Liu Yi broke in directly, ignoring Li Shan's kind pull, and simply knelt in front of Xiao Ye; Li Shan, whose face was red, saw that the adult was not annoyed, so he shut up and retreated outside the door.

If he forcibly blocked Liu Yi, it would be simple, but Liu Yi, a doctor, had a reputation in the stone castle, and he was annoyed that he wanted to see a doctor and take medicine, wouldn't it be embarrassing, and it would be good to give a favor.

If he knew his situation and wanted the probability of getting sick to the limit, he would probably throw Liu Yi into the yard to cool off.

"My lord, my subordinate Liu Yi is reckless, please forgive me," Liu Yi jumped up and kowtowed twice, stood up and stretched out his hand to Xiao Ye, "The pill also asks the adult to reward the medical hall, the more the merrier,"

"Huh," Xiao Ye, who was holding chopsticks, like the three ladies, looked at the stubborn Liu Yi in a daze, blinked his eyes a few times, and then came back to his senses; Swallowing the piece of meat in his mouth, Xiao Ye squinted and smiled.

"I said, Brother Liu, what kind of thing are you doing, isn't it just a pill, let's eat a hot mouth first, Xiaoju, get chopsticks for Dr. Liu," Xiao Yena has a lot of respect for this doctor who still smells of herbs.

There are fewer people who died of illness in the stone castle, and Xiao Ye remembered this credit in his heart, otherwise Gu Yanwu would have started to collect debts a long time ago, and he could just let it go?

"No, there are still two patients in the infirmary, and the subordinates really can't eat," Liu Yi's wife gave him a look next to him, but the doctor stubbornly refused Xiao Ye's kindness, and just stood there and waited.

"Cheng, it's my fault," Xiao Ye wiped the fine sweat on his head and shouted outside, "Li Shan, go and bring the box in the study and hand it to Dr. Liu, "Someone is in charge, Xiao Ye doesn't know medical skills, and those two pills are handed over to Liu Yi to use, so I think they can play a greater role."

"No, just go by yourself," Liu Yi's face was happy, and he didn't care about giving Xiao Ye a gift, so he ran out quickly, for fear that Li Shan would slam into those pills with his rough hands.

He won't inquire about the secrets of concocting pills, but with the medical hall of these pills, he can treat more people.
