The three awning boats did not stop until they reached the deepest part of the tea plantation.

The more than forty Qinggang disciples in the boat had completely recovered from their panic and anger.

Song Kai asked everyone to go ashore, and he walked to the tea garden with Lu Botao.

"Brother Lu, it seems that it will be impossible to return to the city in a short period of time, and now that the new gang and Xuan Dongliang are afraid that they have colluded together, it is too dangerous to return to the city," Song Kai said.

Lu Botao seemed to have matured a lot, and he matured a lot at that moment, and he was no longer the stupid two people he used to be, he nodded, "I understand, maybe they have already colluded together, Song Lang, thank you for killing Huang Cheng and the four people, you can be regarded as avenging half of my revenge." ”

Song Kai waved his hand, "It's easy, the new gang has always been very low-key before, this sudden move, it seems that it has been planned for a long time, your father is very strategic in dealing with people and running the green gang, plus the Cao gang and the Taihu gang have been destroyed one after another, if the new gang does not make a move, within three years, Suzhou City will definitely be unified by the green gang." ”

Lu Botao nodded painfully, "I'm useless, far inferior to my father." ”

"Let's learn slowly, anyway, this time the new gang and Crepe Dongliang suddenly joined forces, I was also a little caught off guard, I think that the new gang is the green forest heroes gathered in the area of Suzhou City, the reason why they are low-key is that they are afraid of getting into trouble with the government, and now they are joining forces with Crepe Dongliang, Crepe Dongliang can rely on the connections of the new gang in Suzhou City to find assassins, and the new gang can use the identity of Crepe Dongliang to go to the next level, and the people on both sides take what they need from each other, and now it is not difficult to come up with it," Song Kai sighed and analyzed it briefly.

Lu Botao's fat hand was clenched, "What should I do?" ”

"Wait." Song Kai looked at Lu Botao. "It's easy to dodge with an open gun. Dark arrows are hard to defend against, and now, your biggest advantage is being in the shadows. By the way, I'm going to tell you, tomorrow I'll take a caravan to Chang'an City, and you can take your people to hide on the Red Dust Island, of course. I hope you can go to Chang'an City with me, firstly, it is safer, and secondly, I don't have enough manpower here......"

"Good! Over there, go to Chang'an City with Song Lang, my fat man Lu has already sold it to Song Lang you," Lu Botao said, suddenly grinning bitterly, "I have been a fake genius these days, and I am also content, the key is." My father is also content, thank you Song Kai. Next, I don't want to be a genius anymore, I want to be a ruthless person and a helper. ”

Song Kai patted Lu Botao on the shoulder, "Have a good rest, since that's the case, you will go on the road with me tomorrow." ”

"Okay,"

The two separated, and Song Kai went to Ge Shou's residence and asked people to arrange accommodation for Lu Botao and others.

After talking to Ge Shou, Song Kai went to his house, today's tea garden, although it is still called a tea garden, but it is not only a tea garden, it is also the largest paper mill in Suzhou City, the first largest mud brick firing factory in Suzhou City, and it is also a silkworm garden, there are also blacksmith shops, and there are nearly 100 homeless people here, Ge Shou has become a well-known good man, in fact, the real boss is Song Kai.

Qing Niang and Wei Wushuang are playing backgammon in the room, the level of the two of them is half a catty, and the level of intelligence is about the same, but in terms of playing backgammon, Qing Niang is better than Wei Wushuang, Qing Niang's talent lies in learning, and Wei Wushuang's talent lies in sports.

Song Kai walked in the door, glanced at the chessboard, and said with a smile: "Classmate Wei, you are going to lose again." ”

Wei Wushuang was used to Song Kai's messy titles, she just glanced at Song Kai lightly, and continued to play chess, this is due to Wei Wushuang's character, even if the chess game is unfavorable, she will support it until the end.

Song Kai bent down to fiddle with the brazier, and black smoke rose, choking Song Kaizhi coughing.

"Young master, you put it away, I'll come," Qingniang hurriedly walked over.

"Go, go, you continue to play, watch the chessboard, be careful that Comrade Wei steals your chess pieces," Song Kai said seriously.

Qing Niang laughed, stretched out her hand and hit Song Kai, "Just talk nonsense, Sister Wei won't." ”

Song Kai continued to tinker with the brazier.

Wei Wushuang ignored Song Kai's taunts and continued to meditate on countermeasures.

No sooner had the brazier been lit than there was a knock at the door.

Song Kai coughed and said, "It's coming, it's coming." ”

Wiping his eyes, Song Kai walked to the door, opened the door, and a young man stood at the door, looking at Song Kai with a strange expression.

"It turned out to be Brother Bao," Song Kai arched his hand.

"Song Lang, what are you doing here?" The young man asked.

"Come in and sit, I'm making a brazier," Song laughed.

The young man saw that the young lady Qing Niang and Wei Wushuang were playing backgammon, and Song Kai was making a brazier, and his face was full of black ash, sighed, and said, "The shopkeeper Song is really different." ”

Song Kai glanced at the young man strangely.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Song, I have already made the two things you said, can you see if it is suitable," said the young man, opening the leather bag he was carrying, and took out a strangely shaped pipe from it, as well as a cold iron bow and crossbow.

The young man's name was Bao Wei, and he was a little blacksmith.

Song Kai's first scimitar was bought from him, at that time in the black market, Song Kai first encountered Bao Wei, so he fell in love with the scimitar, and heard that Bao Wei created his own folding tempering method, so he paid attention.

Later, Song Kai made bombs, because they were a little complicated, such as gunpowder in the upper part of the bomb, white phosphorus in the lower part, as well as lime and water, and through the exothermic function of lime water, white phosphorus was ignited, thereby stimulating the bomb.

This whole process still requires skill.

Song Kai found Bao Wei and asked him to make a bomb iron shell, and also got to know Bao Bei's father, Bao Bitong.

Bao Bitong is a well-known old blacksmith in Suzhou City, and the kitchen knives and hoes he creates are of good quality, but he is a very rigid old man, and Bao Bitong is not very clever in basic skills, but he is very innovative, and the father and son are still very cute.

When the tea garden was invested and expanded, Song Kai found the father and son, hoping that they could help do some blacksmith work, and the salary was very high, so the two naturally did not refuse.

Song Kai saw the iron crossbow and laughed, "It's done very fast." ”

Bao Wei smiled shyly, "I redesigned this crossbow according to Song Lang's ideas, the accuracy of the crossbow arrow is a little reduced, but it does increase the range, and it can be continuously excited, is this really the legendary 'Zhuge Repeater'?" ”

There are a lot of problems with different packages.

Song Kai also occasionally saw invention and creation programs in his previous life, watched the restoration of Zhuge repeater, and told Bao Different some time ago, but he didn't expect Bao Different to do it now.

"Sort of, you invented this kind of continuous shooting crossbow, if you give one to the army and equip it, you will be the hero of the Tang Dynasty," Song laughed, and then played with this iron crossbow, the iron crossbow is wound using the lever principle, press down, so as to buckle the crossbow arrow on the string, and only need to pull the trigger when excited, the advantage of this kind of crossbow arrow is that it saves effort, and it does not require a lot of effort, you can pull a crossbow string weighing hundreds of pounds, of course, the accuracy is not good, but it can be continuously excited, if it is equipped on the army, It's definitely a big improvement.

Song Kai didn't think about the army for the time being, he just said it casually.

Bao Bu blushed, and hurriedly waved his hand, "This crossbow arrow is made according to Song Lang's intentions, if you say that you are a hero, Song Lang, you are." By the way, Song Lang, what is the use of this copper pipe? Why can't I figure it out to this day? ”

Song Kai got off the iron crossbow, picked up the copper pipe, looked at it, and sighed, "This thing can also be regarded as my personal armor, by the way, can you make it firm?" If it's not strong, my little life will be gone. ”

Bao Wei was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded, "Song Lang, don't worry, I see that what you said is solemn, it is poured by mold, and the whole body is directly cooled, and it is absolutely firm, that is, ...... Hehe, I just don't know what this thing is for. ”

Song Kai waved his hand, "I won't tell you what it's used for, by the way, have the crossbow arrows ever been made?" ”

Bao Wei handed the belt in his hand to Song Kai, "There are a total of fifty crossbow arrows, according to Song Lang's request, there are some gaps in the crossbow arrows." ”

"Okay, I'm in trouble," Song Kai shook the belt, "The skills are really good." ”

Bao Wei stood up, "Then I'll go back first, I will keep the matter of the repeater secret, Song Lang, you can rest assured, I am already very satisfied to be able to create such a precise repeater with my own hands." ”

Song Kai patted the shoulder of the different bags, "Okay, Elder Ge will give you an extra reward." ”

Sending away the bag is different, Song Kai checked the leather bag in his hand, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this time, he should be able to go on the road with peace of mind...... (To be continued......)
