Chen Hao hadn't gotten the gunpowder formula yet, and what he told Huo Qubing was basically true, and he gave Huo Qubing a share of the credit. It's not how noble he is, this time the matter is big, but the benefits are in his hands, and he doesn't admit that he is a cooperative relationship with Huo Quzhi Xu Jianyin will think that a few people have carried a black pot for him, and he doesn't know if he is paid for the gunpowder formula.

Xu Jianyin is a scientist, and scientists have literati temperament, and if he becomes a despicable villain in his eyes, the consequences will be serious. Chen Hao was bent on wooing Xu Jianyin, and he definitely didn't want this to happen, so he would rather let Huo go to get sick.

Huo Quai's base is in Jingbei, Chen Hao is now developing in the northeast, and he has no plans to develop a base in Jingbei in the future, and whether Huo Quai's base is finished or not has no impact on him.

He wasn't worried that Huo Qubing would refuse, Huo Qubing had been in Jingbei for so long, and he would definitely be able to leave aside his grievances in order to maintain the base area. After he himself was beheaded, he transferred the base area to the name of his cronies, and then secretly controlled the development of the base area, which actually did not have much impact on him.

If Huo Quzhi wants to come forward again, it is only possible to wait until the impact of this diplomatic incident is minimized, and the imperial court cancels the wanted notice. The Empress Dowager Cixi did not die until 1908, and the consulate incident in Hankou made her frightened.

Huo Qubing couldn't come forward in person, so he could only use all his resources on his subordinates and let them be promoted in the imperial court. Doing so won't have much impact on his strength, but it's always a pity that he can't personally participate in the game, but it's already the best ending compared to being completely eradicated by Zhang Zhidong.

After leaving the prison, Chen Hao found Xu Jianyin again, and he said with a ashamed face: "My lord, Huo Qubing and a few people went with me to find experimental data, and I didn't want to be captured, but I hated that I couldn't save him." ”

Xu Jianyin comforted: "If you wait for the aliens to die and never die, the Governor will definitely open the net, and he will not be killed after beheading." Zihao, you have done your best, there is no need to blame yourself, and you will have the opportunity to compensate them in the future. ”

Chen Hao sighed and said, "That's all!" I told Brother Huo again and again that I had capable people under my command and would definitely be able to get the experimental data. But they just don't feel at ease, so they have to go with them, and now it's a pity that it's self-defeating. ”

Chen Hao admitted to cooperating with Huo Quzhi, but only admitted the hard work of Huo Quzhi and a few people, but did not admit their credit. If you really told Xu Jianyin that Huo Quzhi played an important role in obtaining experimental data, Huo Quzhi had been in contact with Xu Jianyin for a long time, and Chen Hao got the gunpowder formula Huo Quzhi got Xu Jianyin's favor, what if Xu Jianyin was abducted? After listening to Chen Hao's words, Xu Jianyin smiled slightly and said: "Huo Quzhi is also enthusiastic, although it is self-defeating, you don't have to blame him, I believe that after this incident, he will learn a lesson and will not be reckless in doing things." ”

Chen Hao nodded and said, "How can I blame him, I just feel sorry for them!" By the way, my lord, you have already researched the formula of smokeless gunpowder, and Instructor Ma is worried that you will encounter danger in your gunpowder experiment, and now he and I can rest assured, I am ready to rush back to the martial arts academy today. ”

Xu Jianyin nodded and said, "Since you are as relieved as Duyun, I will not force you, no matter when you change your mind, I will do my best to teach you." Your friend who is interested in shipbuilding can ask him to come to me in Hankow, and as for your appointment as the general manager of the shipyards and arsenals, if you do have these factories one day, I will consider it. ”

"Zihao, if you hadn't found the experimental data this time, I wouldn't have been able to make smokeless gunpowder. This is the recipe for smokeless gunpowder, I copied a copy, and you may be able to take it as well. ”

"Player Chen Baxian, congratulations on completing the mission released by Ma Duyun as 'Cheng Zihao', and you have obtained the smokeless gunpowder recipe as a reward. Since you changed the fate of scientist Xu Jianyin's death, you have the opportunity to hire Xu Jianyin, and when his liking for you reaches a certain level and the timing is right, you can hire him to work for you. "Item Name: Smokeless Gunpowder Formula Item Introduction: Xu Jianyin's Formula Item Attributes for Producing Smokeless Gunpowder: Smokeless Gunpowder can be produced after collecting raw materials such as sulfuric acid according to the formula, and the formula is only allowed to be used by two factories at most, and the two factories must belong to the same force.

Chen Hao's purpose of coming to Jingbei this time has been fully achieved, the smokeless gunpowder formula is in hand, and Xu Jianyin also promised to consider serving as the general office when he has a factory. After getting the formula, Chen Hao, Lin Hei'er and Cuiyunniang came to the station and met more than a dozen players head-on.

The lead player wears a kaftan with a chubby, round face, and a loyal look. He walked up to Chen Hao and said: "Mr. Cheng Zihao, our boss asked me to tell you that he has admired you for a long time, and our boss will not take this matter to heart, and I hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

Chen Hao couldn't help but be stunned, Huo Quzhi would have admired "Cheng Zihao" for a long time? Besides, if he really admired it, he wouldn't have threatened it in the first place. This player spoke very implicitly, but the meaning expressed was obvious, that is, Huo Quzhi had already guessed his identity.

Huo Qubing has no intention of continuing to be an enemy, after all, there is no conflict of interest between everyone, because there is no need to make a mortal enemy this time. Of course, Huo Quzhi is not so cheap, he has suffered such a big loss, it is impossible for him to have no prejudice in his heart, so eagerly sending people to show favor is just for profit in the final analysis.

Huo Quzhi knew Chen Hao's identity, so he definitely didn't have a role in the gunpowder formula, but he could ask Chen Hao to buy smokeless gunpowder. Huo Quzhi's base area was not perfected by the Xuanyuan Sword, and the bullet production line could also be obtained, and he needed a large amount of smokeless gunpowder at that time. The foreigners still imposed an arms embargo on China, and a large amount of gunpowder could not be purchased in the foreign bank, and Chen Hao's Yingkou base had no conflict of interest with him, and it was likely that he would agree to his conditions.

Chen Hao guessed the other party's thoughts, but he didn't say it, but smiled faintly and said: "This time is indeed a misunderstanding, let's talk about it later!" I know what Boss Huo means. ”

The round-faced player smiled dryly and said, "Our boss asked me to tell Mr. Cheng Zihao that if there is a surplus of smokeless gunpowder produced in your base, we are willing to pay a high price to buy ......."

Chen Hao interrupted the round-faced player's words and said, "I don't have a base now, if I need to sell gunpowder, I will contact Boss Huo." ”

If you just sell gunpowder, Chen Hao can consider that the production of bullets not only requires smokeless gunpowder, but also raw materials such as thunder mercury and copper, so smokeless gunpowder will often have a surplus, and it is necessary to sell some of it in exchange for funds to maintain the operation of the arsenal.

Huo Quzhi is still just guessing his identity, but it has not been confirmed, if Chen Hao agrees to sell gunpowder now, it is equivalent to confirming Huo Quzhi's speculation. Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, if the round-faced player made a video during the conversation, and then posted the analysis of Huo Qu's illness to the forum, Chen Hao would not be at peace in the Wubei Academy.

The player's testimony NPC will not be accepted, but now the Empress Dowager Cixi is suspicious of Chen Hao, and if the player impeaches him through the court NPC officials, the Empress Dowager Cixi will most likely use this as an excuse to clean him up.

Sometimes Yin people don't need evidence, just trumped-up charges. For example, the last time Sanshengshi played the imperial court through Xuanbuha, saying that Wang Wu was Chen Hao's master, Chen Hao fell into bad luck. It was Xuanbuha who came forward to impeach, not Sanshengshi, so Cixi believed Xuanbuha, a second-class member of the imperial court.

As for whether there is evidence or not that Sanshengshi told Xuanbuha, the two were already in cahoots, even if Sanshengshi was telling a lie, it didn't matter if Xuanbuha was false. This time Chen Hao may also face this situation, he has countless enemies in the game, if Huo Qubing confirms that Cheng Zihao is Chen Baxian and posted it on the forum, enemies like Sanshengshi will definitely find a way to impeach him through NPCs.

After Chen Hao and the three got on the train, the round-faced player waved his hand and said, "Go back!" ”

A player next to him said a little unwillingly: "The things arranged by Boss Huo were not done well, so we went back like this?" ”

The round-faced player sneered: "If Cheng Zihao is so easy to deal with, the boss will not suffer in his hands, and it will be useless for us to record it if he doesn't leak his mouth." Besides, people have already gotten on the train, and we can't catch up with them, so do you want to go to northern Hebei to have fun? ”

The round-faced player's name is Honest Businessman, who is Huo Quai's right-hand man, and is Huo Quai's finance minister in both reality and in the game. An honest businessman is loyal, easy to be trusted, but very shrewd.

This time he was taken advantage of by Chen Hao, Huo Quzhi was unwilling, he thought that Chen Hao's disguise and entry into the Martial Arts Academy was because he had an official status, so he sent honest businessmen to test and try to record it, and then announced the matter to the forum.

If it is confirmed that Cheng Zihao is Chen Baxian, it will definitely cause an uproar on the forum, and those who have a grudge against Chen Baxian will definitely not miss this good opportunity. In that way, Huo Qubing could easily borrow a knife to kill people, which made Chen Hao unlucky, but it was a pity that Chen Hao, who was well-thought-giving, was not deceived by the honest businessman's loyal appearance.

Huo Quai, who was in the cell, shook his head after listening to the honest businessman's report and said, "Chen Baxian is not so easy to deal with, don't blame you for not succeeding, this time it's like this!" ”

The honest businessman hesitated: "Boss, even if there is no testimony, we can post our guesses on the forum, I think someone will confirm it, right?" ”

Huo Quzhi shook his head and said, "It's useless!" If Cheng Zihao is Chen Baxian's matter is confirmed, there will be people who are willing to fall into the ground. If it's just a guess, even if the player finds the evidence, Chen Baxian can rush back to Yingkou first, so that the people who deal with him will become false accusations. None of the players who do this kind of thing are not refined, and they won't launch it without confirming it. ”

"That's it! That's it for this time! After a while, send someone to Yingkou to contact them, and if they have smokeless gunpowder for sale, they will establish a long-term contact. Our competitors are the Zhang family and the Long family, there is no need for people like Chen Baxian to make enemies, he is the kind of person with clear grievances, this time he took advantage of us, if we no longer pursue him but are willing to befriend us. ”
