It was already dark, and a gust of wind blew with a gentle whining.

Autumn nights are always cold, and with the whining of the wind, it feels more and more cold to the heart.

The entire Su Mansion was shrouded in this dark night, like a criminal who was trembling, waiting to be judged by fate, and at some point he would be immediately engulfed by the night and disappear without a trace.

Rong gently raised his eyes and looked out, tonight's moon was like a silver hook, with a chill, which made people feel a little more depressed.

Gu Sheng originally wanted to pour himself a cup of tea, but found that the tea was cold, so he got up and was about to change a new pot of tea, Yao Yan found a lantern and accompanied Gu Sheng to change the tea.

Rong gently saw Jiang Yun's eyes lowered slightly, and the whole person no longer had the brilliance of the day, so he sighed slightly, got up and closed the doors and windows tightly.

"Master, it's so late, why haven't Shao'an and Master come back yet?" Jiang Yun asked softly, with a hint of imperceptible crying in her voice.

Rong lightly knew that Jiang Yun was frightened.

Jiang Yun is not like her, she has been a human being in two lives, has undergone chemotherapy, and is struggling on the verge of life and death, so among these four people, she seems to be a little calmer.

Rong gently sat down and said, "That means that the matter is even more serious than we imagined, and maybe there are even a lot of people kneeling over there, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to give an order." ”

Jiang Yun was even more panicked, and couldn't help grabbing Rong Qing's hand, as if this was the only way to find a little comfort.

Rong gently held Jiang Yun's hand, she actually didn't know where she got her confidence, she only felt that although the matter was very serious tonight, Lu Chengyan should not have a problem, but the prince might be implicated, and then it could only depend on what His Majesty the Emperor thought.

.

In the palace.

Xiao Zhengde took a deep breath, his chest was slightly raised, with a posture of not being angry and arrogant. He swept slightly over the people kneeling below, and then looked at the few people standing honestly next to him, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, and then he slowly spoke: "So, your artillery is not less, and you really don't know, do you?" ”

Fang Liang, the squire of the military department, said respectfully: "Your Majesty, after receiving the order, the ministers carefully checked the gunpowder stored in the military department, and there was indeed no omission, and according to Lord Su, the artillery was not very powerful, it may be self-made......

Su Shaoan frowned slightly, this means that he has privately made artillery in the Yuan Mansion?

Lu Chengyan rolled his eyes directly and said, "When did the people have the ability to make their own artillery?" According to the squire of the military department, this artillery is not easy to make, and you only have a total of thirty-two, so you will remember it so clearly, so didn't you just say that you slapped yourself in the face? ”

Yin Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, at this time, it was not good for him to help Su Shaoan speak, and it was not good to help the prince speak.

If you help Su Shaoan speak, it means that there is a problem with the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of War is the jurisdiction of the prince. If you help the prince speak, it means that Su Shao'an's homemade artillery was almost ignited by his cousins today.

What can the champion do to make artillery? He has no power, no ambition, and no needs. So once you help the prince speak, you actually drag the prince and the military department into the water.

Xiao Zhengde glanced at Lu Chengyan, and seeing his undisguised fiery appearance, he was not so angry in his heart.

His champion finally rested and made a thank-you banquet, but he was almost blown up by the artillery, because of the power of the artillery, he hurriedly entered the palace to confess the crime, but the military department said that the artillery was not less at all, and this entanglement made him have to doubt his prince.

After all, Su Shaoan has no ambition and doesn't know how to make artillery at all, but it is not impossible for the prince to make artillery secretly, after all, ......

Xiao Zhengde was thinking about it, and suddenly his thoughts were interrupted, because Lu Chengyan was angry again.

"What do you mean by that look just now, you mean that we are lying, so tell me, can the people make their own artillery? Do we have a formula? In whose hands is the recipe? Lu Chengyan asked again and again.

Fang Liang was asked like this, and he was a little self-conscious, but this Lu Chengyan ignored everyone standing here, a person who didn't even have the most basic politeness, but His Majesty didn't even say a word, so that rumor was true? Lu Chengyan is doing things for His Majesty?

Fang Liang lowered his eyes slightly, was silent for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty, it is not easy to make homemade artillery, and the formula is only in the core master, they are never allowed to take a step out of the military department, and they are accompanied by a special person. ”

Lu Chengyan raised his eyebrows slightly, what kind of special person accompanies him means that there is a special person to monitor, so it is absolutely impossible for the formula to flow out.

So how can this artillery still flow outside? This doesn't make sense at all, the only possibility is that the entire army is covering up the missing artillery.

But it is precisely because this is the only explanation at present that Yin Sheng is a little uneasy.

Xiao Zhengde also thought of this, and now he looked at Yin Sheng and asked, "What happened to the few people who were arrested?" ”

Yin Sheng shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, those people were so stupid that they couldn't ask anything at all. ”

Xiao Zhengde couldn't help frowning slightly, if he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for this matter, or quickly solve the case, then he would not be able to sit on the throne steadily.

Su Shaoan stepped forward at this time and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, is it possible that the military department has mixed in with people, and this person wants to take advantage of the minister's thank-you banquet, and then direct the fire to His Royal Highness the Prince." After all, many officials in the DPRK and China are very easy to get along with, and those who handed over the posts were also very face-saving. So if it weren't for the fact that something at home delayed a little time, then if the cannon exploded at the banquet, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

As soon as Su Shaoan said this, Yin Sheng reacted violently, and immediately stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to play." ”

Xiao Zhengde frowned and said, "Say." ”

"The pocket arrows made by the military department were made by a folk craftsman, but he made them for self-defense, and did not add barbs or anything like that. But I don't know why, the military department suddenly added more drawings of this pocket arrow, and said that it was its own original, and made it on a large scale, adding a barb. Yin Sheng said.

Lu Chengyan also stepped forward and saluted at the moment: "It is my apprentice who makes pocket arrows, and they are generally kept for self-defense and will not be easily exposed, once someone robbed during the day, so my other apprentice Gu Sheng used it, and there was an imitation later." ”

The word robbery is used very well, Lu Chengyan doesn't need to say much, and everyone present can probably understand its potential meaning.

Anyway, to sum up, the miniature arrows of the military department were copied and improved. And there is a problem with the origin of the pocket arrow, so who is there the drawing, who made it, plus this artillery incident, it seems that a conclusion can be drawn.
