"It's okay, it's up to you to do this." Zhang Chao did smile indifferently and waved his hand. Ma Dai would appear in such a way, and to be honest, it was also a little unexpected for him. He thought that these two people would stay alive and wait for him to summon them, but he never thought that he would use such a risky way, it seems that Xiliang's situation has indeed reached a critical time.

Zhang Chao didn't blame, the two guards had a look of gratitude, and when they walked beside the lord, their eyes became even more sharp, they would never let the same thing happen a second time.

For a moment, as the two captains of the guard made a few gestures to their subordinates, some of the iron guards in the team took the first step, and they were obviously going to the front to check for danger. Zhang Chao saw this in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, this was the matter of the guards. His principle of doing things has always been like this, whoever hands it over, he will do it, as for what method to use, he will not ask, what he wants to see is the result.

With a group of iron guards fighting the front station, there was no danger along the way, and the team finally came to the gate of the Zhangjia Weapons Academy.

There was already a crowd of people waiting here at the gate. And standing at the front is a man who is not very tall, but his eyes are indeed full of wisdom. This person's surname is Zhang Mingwen, and he is the dean of the Weapons Academy personally appointed by Zhang Chao.

Zhang Wenwen is not surnamed Zhang, but no one knows what his surname is, because he was one of the orphans that Zhang Chao bought when he was in Chenliu, and the person who sold him ran away after receiving the money at that time, and there was no news here, and he didn't know if he was dead or what.

Anyway, the surname is gone, Zhang Chao gave him a surname Zhang, because he is smart and perceptive, especially for things like the side door, he is very popular, and he is deeply liked by the second son, which gives him a name Wen, which is intended to be outstanding in terms of literary talent. At the same time, he was also assigned to the then newly established Weapons Academy as the dean.

Even if the Weapons Academy is one of the most secretive units, then the managers here naturally need to use trustworthy people. At least whether Zhang Wen is competent or not, it doesn't matter, with Zhang Chao's guidance, as long as people are not stupid, things can always be done.

Zhang Wen was informed a few days ago that Zhang Chao would appear here today, so he came out with all his subordinates to greet him early in the morning, and now when he saw the lord, he quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Second son is good." ”

The title of the second son, there are not many people who call it now, and it is only the orphans who were accepted in Chen Liu before that they have this glory. It also seems to tell others that their seniority is unmatched.

"Hehe, get up." Zhang Chao jumped down from the horse, and then stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Wen and the others to get up. Then he looked at the interior of the Weapons Academy and said, "Let's go, look at your masterpieces." ”

"No, let's go see the masterpiece of the second son." Zhang Wen and the others had already gotten up at this moment, and they were also smiling, and they also slapped a sycophant silently in the future.

Regarding what Zhang Wen and others said, Zhang Chao did not correct it. He is principled in doing things, and as long as he does not touch on principles, he is often a very open person.

Most of the Iron Guards and all the Jinyi Guards were left behind, and only two Captain Guards were able to follow Zhang Chao into the Weapons Academy, plus twenty Iron Guard guards who had passed various tests. They have proven their loyalty and ability with practical actions, and they are also the people Zhang Chao trusts the most.

A large number of teams walked into the weapons academy, first under the guidance of Zhang Wen to see the wheelbarrow, after achieving satisfactory results, Zhang Chao went to see the progress of gunpowder production, and this view is the scene of most of the day, in which he made a lot of instructions when he returned to the scene, and put forward some very constructive and practical suggestions from a scientific point of view.

This is not symbolic, but I was really impressed by the various ideas put forward by Zhang Chao.

The time soon came to the afternoon, and when Zhang Chao walked out of the Weapons Academy, the sky was already a little dark. Then the brigade returned the same way, and when they returned to the side of the street, they saw Ma Dai and Cheng Yin, who had been tied up.

"Take them home." After his gaze just crossed over the two of them, Zhang Chao said in a voice without any emotion.

This sturdy Ma Dai couldn't hear any other meaning from this sentence, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, after all, their behavior today was a bit excessive. Even if he didn't mean to hurt Zhang Chao, he stopped someone's convoy, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain it clearly.

After the team gathered together and returned to the General's Mansion, seeing that Zhang Chao still hadn't given an order, Dian Wei said to an iron guard beside him: "Tie San, lock those two up first." Don't embarrass them until you have a new order. ”

"No." Known as Tiesan, that is, the captain of the third squad in the Iron Guard, he hurriedly hugged his fists and agreed, and then saw that after he waved his hand, Ma Dai and Cheng Yin were taken down.

In the General's Mansion, Zhang Chao first went into the backyard to have dinner with several ladies, and after talking to them, he walked towards the study without hurrying. When he was about to walk to the study, he said to Dian Wei, the head of the guard on duty behind him: "Go, bring the man named Ma Dai during the day, I want to see him." ”

"No." Dian Wei agreed, and then turned around and came to the courtyard where Ma Dai and the two of them were kept.

At this time, Ma Dai and Cheng Yin have been loosened, but the two of them are indeed not easy, this is the General's Mansion, it must be the most heavily guarded place, even a bird can't fly out, let alone two big living people.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Cheng Yin cautiously asked Ma Dai: "General, the general won't kill us, right?" ”

"Probably not." Ma Dai shook his head and replied. This is also worse than his analysis, if you want to kill, you can kill it during the day. Besides, he has already told his identity, unless Zhang Chao wants to start a war with Xiliang, he shouldn't really kill them.

Just if you don't kill them, it doesn't mean that the matter is over, after all, they are blocking Zhang Chao's way on the street, and with this, it is no problem for them to suffer a little.

Hearing that he would not be killed, Cheng Yin breathed a sigh of relief. But then he quickly said, "Oh, we're locked up here now, so what about asking for help?" ”

Speaking of business, Ma Dai's face also became much more solemn. Originally, he just wanted to ask to see Zhang Chao, after all, he was in the post house every day, and his mission was not in line, so he would do such a thing.

Unexpectedly, he was captured like an assassin, and in this way, I am afraid that the matter of asking for help will be in trouble again.

Although he was a little discouraged, Ma Dai still believed that Zhang Chao would definitely support Xiliang, after all, this was in line with the other party's strategic intentions.

When Cheng Yin was sighing for a long time and Ma Dai was also frowning, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a burly man stood at the door that had just opened, stretched out his hand and pointed at Ma Dai and said, "You, come out, my lord wants to see you." ”

It was Dian Wei who had taught them a lesson during the day.

Seeing Dian Wei coming, Cheng Yin looked panicked, and asked in a voice that was not very confident, "You... What are you doing? ”

"What to do? It's not your turn to ask. Dian Wei didn't ask so much at all, just took two steps forward and came to Cheng Yin, and then pushed his right hand forward hard, and Cheng Yin was pushed aside.

"General Dian doesn't have to be rude, I'll just go with you." From the ears of those iron guards, Ma Dai already knew the identity of the comer, and knew that it would only be himself who would suffer if he moved, so he said with kind words, of course, there was no fear in his words.

"Well, you're quite appetizing to me, so tie it yourself." Dian Wei looked at Ma Dai and smiled, and then stretched out his hand, and a strong rope appeared in the palm of his hand.

Ma Dai didn't refuse, and sure enough, he asked Cheng Yin on the side to help tie himself up strongly, and then looked at Dian Wei and asked, "General Dian, you are satisfied now." ”

"Hehe, it's interesting." Dian Wei laughed, and then turned away, but the voice came later, "Come with me." ”

Dian Wei appeared in Zhang Chao's study with the bound and sturdy Ma Dai.

As soon as he entered the study, Dian Wei scolded Ma Dai: "When you see my lord, why don't you kneel down quickly?" ”

"I don't kneel." Who knew that Ma Dai, who had always been very cooperative, really tilted his head at this meeting, twisted his neck, and became stiff.

"You're looking for a beating." Seeing that Ma Dai dared not to kneel, Dian Wei stretched out his big foot and kicked towards the inside of the former's knee, but with this kick, Ma Dai's face was indeed white, and then he fell to the ground with a plop.

Ma Dai knelt down in front of Zhang Chao like this, and the latter had nothing to say, just looked at everything lightly, as if what happened had nothing to do with him.

Ma Dai, who was forced to kneel on the ground, slowly looked up at Zhang Chao, and then tears of humiliation seemed to flash in his eyes.

"A dignified man, bleeding without tears, why are you crying?" Seeing that Ma Dai was about to cry, Zhang Chao asked suspiciously.

"General, when the two countries intersect, why don't you kill them? Why do you do this to me? Ma Dai said with a choked voice, extremely unwillingly.

"The intersection of two countries?" Hearing this, Zhang Chao was stunned at first, and then laughed.

This burst of laughter caused Ma Dai to be confused, and he asked with a puzzled look, "Why is the general laughing?" ”

After laughing for a while, Zhang Chao slowly stopped, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Ma Dai and said, "Who told you that there are two countries between us." I didn't kill you, did I? ”
