Kyoto Shogun's Palace.

After finishing breakfast with his grandfather, he helped his grandfather walk along the general's mansion.

The grandfather and grandson talked as they walked.

"So! You said that since you finished eating the things you brought back, what I didn't eat here tasted good, what should I do in the future? General Wen looked at his grandson with a sad expression.

Isn't this called from simplicity to luxury, and from luxury to frugality?

Wen couldn't help laughing, grandfather asked him to find a way.

"I don't think it's fragrant either, but there's no way, grandfather, Grandpa Lu's house is too far away, so we can only endure it," Wen Gu looked like he really couldn't help it.

General Wen looked at his grandson with a smile hidden in his eyes and pouted.

"I don't care if I can't help it, you have to find a way, my body has just recovered, and you can't bear to watch your grandfather gradually weaken because he can't eat."

General Wen made a very unreasonable and pitiful appearance.

"Good! Grandchildren figure it out, grandfather, don't worry. Hui pretended to be helpless and said.

"I'll send two secret guards to quietly go out of Kyoto and go to Lu's house to buy some more grain and bring it back." Reverence continued.

General Wen nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, "You're right, it's time to send secret guards, even if no one knows them, they have to dress up, and take more silver, and buy some special products from Kyoto to bring them over." ”

"What grandfather said is that grandchildren will definitely let them be careful."

Grandfather thinks the same thing he thinks, even if the secret guard is hidden deep and no one knows it, but you still have to pay attention to what you should pay attention to in disguise.

There are also gifts and specialties, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many eyeliners around the General's Mansion, and he was worried about being exposed, he would like to choose it himself.

Xiao Qi's fifteen-year-old and Lu Li have passed, and I am still a little disappointed that I didn't see Xiao Qi and Lu Li in person.

However, he chose the gift in advance, and he bought it while he and Chi Rui and Sang Li went out, and the things they bought with him would not be so conspicuous, and they would make people pay special attention.

The gift is bought, but it hasn't been able to be sent, so I can let the dark guards bring the gift over this time, I hope Xiao Qi can like it.

The grandfather and grandson walked along the general's mansion and walked towards General Wen's study.

These days, Wen followed his grandfather every day to learn the marching tactics and strategies that the Wen family had painstakingly summed up for generations.

The next day, accompanied by Steward Xi, went to the Wen family army and the army to train.

During this period, I met a lot of soldiers, and he didn't have the kind of frame of the children of the family, plus he was able to humbly ask for advice, and the most important thing was that he dragged his "weak" body to exercise with the soldiers during this time.

His approach really made the soldiers look at him differently, whether it was a general or a soldier, he quickly became one with Wen, looking at the new general who worked hard, he secretly sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being the descendant of the Wen family, and at the same time he was sincerely happy for the general.

A few days later, two disguised guards went on a blatant shopping spree in Kyoto and drove out of Kyoto with a cart full of gifts.

The departure of these two people did not attract anyone's attention in Kyoto, and did not make a splash.

After all, there are so many cars coming and going in Kyoto every day, and unfamiliar faces are not new.

……

When all the wildflowers at the back of the village were in full bloom, the two rooms that Xiao Qi needed had already been built.

The house is built relatively back, and the distance from the fence is dozens of meters, and the surrounding area is all open space, but Qingshan specially chose this place according to the opinion of the little sister, which is enough for the girl to do experiments.

The materials had also been transported to the two rooms by Aoyama.

built these two houses, which also caused the family to know what Xiaomei was going to toss.

But everyone didn't raise any objections, the little sister wanted to toss, as long as she didn't hurt herself, the family still connived at this girl.

During this period, at the request of his younger sister, he also cut a lot of bamboos of different thicknesses, the thickest of which was as thick as his arm, and the thinnest bamboo was as thick as the arm of a two- or three-year-old child.

Not only that, Xiaomei also asked him to find a stonemason to carve some hollow stones the size of his fist, all kinds of shapes, the most of which were round, leaving a small circular exit outside the stone ball.

He also asked a blacksmith to create a batch of hollow iron balls that were the same fist-sized and round, and also left a small exit.

The bamboo didn't cost a penny, and there was a bamboo forest in the west of Qingyun Village, so he and Qiu Jing took the time to go out and cut a lot of it back.

As for the stone balls, it cost more than 20 taels of silver, and the most expensive was the hollow iron ball, and a hundred hollow iron balls cost nearly 50 taels of silver.

It's also thanks to these things that don't look like weapons or anything, otherwise the blacksmith wouldn't have taken his job at all.

It is illegal to manufacture weapons privately in Dasangguo, and most people do not dare to commit crimes against the wind.

All of these things were transported to these two rooms.

In the past two days, Aoyama saw his sister tossing and turning in this room, using tools to mash some of the ingredients into powder.

They were packed separately in different clay pots, and a tree was cut down and thrown outside the house.

There was also a lot of oil-soaked coarse cotton thread and a few pieces of linen.

is also busy with Qiu Jing, Jinxiu, he, as a big brother, naturally wants to help his sister-in-law, but there are a lot of things waiting for him to do at home.

He followed him uncomfortably for two days, and after finding that there was no danger for the time being, he put down his snack a little and went to work on the things in the field, after all, the crops in the field should be harvested soon.

"Brother Qiu" Xiao Qi walked over with a thin bamboo tube.

Qiu Jing stopped the grinding action in his hand and looked at Xiao Qi inexplicably.

"Brother Qiu, can you help me carve out a few pieces of wood that can be stuffed into the bamboo tube? There should be a small hole in the middle of the block, which does not need to be very thick. The girl gestured with the block in her hand, especially where there was a small hole.

Qiu Jing took the bamboo tube without saying a word, put down the work in his hand, and took the machete to find suitable wood.

Smiling at Brother Qiu's back, Xiao Qi continued to ponder the problem of proportion.

Walked to a large table covered with a few pieces of brocade burlap.

In addition to these pieces of fabric, the table is also equipped with three kinds of ground materials.

These materials are individually packed in a small clay pot that is not large.

Xiao Qi sat down at the table again and according to the impression in his memory, he held a small scale that weighed gold and silver, and re-matched a ratio, and after the ratio was completed, he recorded the record on paper.

In this way, she has already allocated no less than five kinds of proportions on the table.

Whether it can be successful or which proportion of the drug is the most powerful can be known through experiments.

Now that most of the materials have been prepared, we are waiting for Brother Qiu's wooden block to be sharpened, and we can start the experiment.

After a while, Qiu Jing came to the table with a few pieces of wood that he had sharpened.

"Xiao Qi, you can see if it works, if it doesn't work, I'll improve it."

Qiu Jing handed the shaved wood chips and the bamboo tube to Xiao Qi's hand.

Holding the sharpened wooden block, Xiao Qi gestured a few times at the hole in the bamboo tube, making sure that it could be stuck, and nodded happily.

Qiu Jing's heart also let go, but he didn't leave, but stood at the table, ready to see how Xiao Qi made the bomb she said in her mouth.

Xiao Qi put the things in her hand on the table, took out a very small linen cloth and wrapped the gunpowder she had in good proportions, and inserted a coarse cotton thread soaked in oil and dried in it, and the other end of the cotton thread passed through the wooden block, and then Xiao Qi stuffed the medicine bag into the bamboo tube along with the wooden block.
