The salon holds a regular meeting once a month, and regardless of the theme, cost, and furnishings of the meeting, the members take turns to preside over it, and whoever it is is their turn is whoever it is. If anyone wants to add an issue and is willing to host it, everyone also said that they are free to participate, and it is no problem at all.

After everyone proposed to vote, this salon was named the North Painting School.

The capital is located in the north, and according to the division of the Great Jin, they belong to the northern faction; In addition, the meeting place is the Art Academy, which is located in Bac Ninh, and they are more or less influenced by sketching and Zhao Ruxi's new painting methods, which can be regarded as a first-class school in their own right, hence the name.

The Bac Ninh faction started with only fourteen people. Among these fourteen people, there are not only Kang Shilin, Zhao Ruxi, Zhou Wenbai and other extremely famous painters, but also others have made achievements and left their own strong marks in the history of painting. Of course, that's another story.

It is said that Zhao Ruxi received a letter from Qingfeng, and went to a house rented by Xiao Lingyan temporarily after school the next day.

Xiao Lingyan pushed the snacks he brought from the palace in front of Zhao Ruxi like a treasure, and intimately poured Zhao Ruxi a cup of tea, and asked, "How are you doing lately?" ”

Zhao Ruxi was eating snacks and drinking tea, but unceremoniously gave Xiao Lingyan a roll of his eyes: "I don't believe you didn't send someone to stare at me." ”

Although this is a fact, Xiao Lingyan will not admit it if he is killed.

He glanced at Zhao Ruxi seriously: "Why am I staring at you?" I have absolute trust in you. ”

"Really?" Zhao Ruxi stared at him.

"Not really!" Xiao Lingyan shook his head categorically.

Zhao Ruxi looked at him for a while, retracted his gaze, and sighed: "Then I'm too worthless." I've taken great risks and worked so hard to make money for you, but you don't care about me at all. If I encounter any danger, being bullied and plotted, by the time you know it, the daylilies will be cold. I died in vain. ”

Xiao Lingyan: "......" woman's heart, seabed needle.

He rubbed his face: "My aunt, do you want me to stare or not?" You say, "I will do as you instruct." ”

Zhao Ruxi raised his eyebrows.

According to before, when she said this, Xiao Lingyan would definitely have to fight with her for a few rounds. But now that he doesn't talk back, she's a little unaccustomed to it.

She waved her hand: "Forget it, then don't stare at it." As long as you and I don't have anything to do with it, I'm still safe for the time being. ”

I knew it would be like this.

Xiao Lingyan sighed faintly: "It's been half a year since we crossed. The danger is getting closer and closer. ”

"Away from you, not from me." Zhao Ruxi corrected.

"Yes, it's from me." He looked at Zhao Ruxi pitifully, "Xu Xi, you can't die without help." ”

His skin is really good, and now he looks like this, and Zhao Ruxi is stunned.

But in an instant, Zhao Ruxi retracted his gaze and refused ruthlessly: "That's all I can do." I can't help you with anything else. ”

Xiao Lingyan touched his face.

His face is quite handsome, why is it useless to use beautiful male tricks? Indeed, this woman's heart is made of iron.

He took out a picture from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ruxi: "Let your blacksmith help me make two parts, it's no problem, right?" ”

Zhao Ruxi took the drawing and looked at it, and asked, "What kind of parts are these?" ”

"The Divine Arm Crossbow and the Bean Inch Crossbow."

Crossbow Zhao Ruxi knew, but she had never even heard of these two unfamiliar crossbow names.

She couldn't help but glance at him: "You're still proficient in weapons?" ”

"I'm also a military fan in modern times, and I often soak in forums, so I know a little bit. I've been researching the weapons of this era all this time, and I've found that none of them are very good. Inventing several crossbows and improving trebuchets made it almost easy to fight. ”

He pointed to the drawings in Zhao Ruxi's hand: "But I don't believe in anyone except you, so I have to ask you to make the most critical parts of each crossbow for me." ”

That's fine. Zhao Ruxi's blacksmith workshop and carpenter's workshop, in order to prevent leaks, she made several parts of things together. Even if the craftsman learned how to make all the parts, he couldn't put it together at all.

Even for the sake of secrecy, she did not give the drawings at one time, but did the same, took back the drawings and parts, and then gave another part drawings. In this way, even if you can still remember a little bit of the original part method, you will have to get dizzy later.

For example, Li Laosi, because of his good craftsmanship, was arranged to make a single part. Now he has four or five parts in his hands. What parts were made at the beginning, his memory is a little blurry.

As for secretly copying drawings, first, the cultural level of these craftsmen is not high, and there are few literate ones; Second, Zhao Ruxi's drawings, although they can be understood by craftsmen, but when it comes to drawings, the difficulty is not ordinary.

has the ability to completely copy Zhao Ruxi's complex drawings, which can only be done by lurkers specially sent by some people.

And when she opened the workshop, she was just a little shrimp, and no one knew what she was going to do when she opened the workshop. No one will target her at that time and deliberately send someone to be an undercover agent. So lurkers or something, pretty much ruled out the possibility.

Because of this processing mechanism, the craftsmen are now asked to make a few more parts, which does not attract their attention at all.

Speaking of trebuchets, Zhao Ruxi thinks of thunderbolts. She knew that this thing was a hot weapon used in the Song Dynasty.

She asked curiously, "Then why don't you just build a wooden cannon?" ”

The few pieces of steel that Xiao Lingyan gave her were good, and they could meet the requirements of making thermal weapons.

Xiao Lingyan shook his head: "I don't want to break the balance. Once that thing is made, it will be too lethal. I believe that with these, coupled with our mental calculations or unintentional intentions, we should be able to reverse the outcome of that war. ”

He said that he suspected Guo Jitong and tracked him down.

"Although he acted extremely carefully, I could not produce any evidence that he was Xiao Lingheng's person. But intuitively, I think he is. I will send someone to keep an eye on him, and at the same time, I will send someone to keep an eye on the people in Tobe. ”

Zhao Ruxi frowned.

She asked, "After all this time, do you have a good idea of how to deal with what happened in a year and a half and two years later?" ”

Without waiting for Xiao Lingyan to speak, she waved her hand: "You don't need to tell me specifically, you just need to say whether you have a score or not." ”

Xiao Lingyan was quite relaxed when he was sitting before, but now he sat up straight, and his expression was very serious: "But in this world, the person I trust the most is you." Your brain is good. I have no one to talk to but you. If my plan is not right, you will suffer too, won't you? At least life won't be as good as it was when I was, right? ”
