It resembles a slingshot, but instead of firing spikes or projectiles with a taut leather rope, it uses a funnel-shaped air bag to shoot water and sediment.

When Zheng Huiliao was fighting with other children as a child, he stored ginger and garlic juice in the air bag, and the spicy juice squirted could choke people, burn the skin, and roll in pain if it got into his eyes.

If such a gadget were made bigger and more elaborate, it could be used as a weapon.

Cheng Haofeng took it and watched it repeatedly, and Hu Xianxian asked in a low voice: "Is there a way for you to transform this thing into a practical weapon?" ”

"Do you see there's a word here?"

Cheng Haofeng didn't answer the question, but pointed to a small pattern for Hu Xianxian to see.

"It seems to be a 'cloud' word." The auspicious cloud-like fuzzy pattern, the lines connected between the curves and hooks really resemble the word "cloud".

Cheng Haofeng turned his head and asked Zheng Huiliao: "Is it possible that the strange person who retired from the rivers and lakes could be a person from Qiyun Villa?" ”

"It's not clear. About 12 years ago, that old man was wandering around and being bullied by bullies on the street, and my father saved him, and he followed my father.

I was about six years old at the time, and he used to play with me. But I didn't have any other communication with him except playing with those weird toys, and I really didn't have any impression of his background.

The toys he gave me are long gone, and I like this little thing the most, and I heard him say that every child in his hometown has this kind of toy, which he played with when he was a child, so he left it as a souvenir.

He lived near Panlong Village for about three years before leaving, and gave me a gold and silver gun before leaving, but there was nothing else to identify him. ”

After Cheng Haofeng listened, he frowned and thought about something, and Hu Xianxian took the thing and looked at it repeatedly.

Seeing that they didn't respond to him, Zheng Huiliao asked again: "If we put highly poisonous things in the skin and spray them out, the lethality will be even greater, should we use poison?" ”

Hu Xianxian shook his head and explained the reasons why poison is not used: first, poison is not easy to refine, which is time-consuming and laborious; Second, the cost is too high and it is difficult to use it in large quantities; The third is that they want to defeat the enemy army, and they do not want the enemy army to die.

On the battlefield, it is best to use weapons that are highly deterrent and still have room for treatment, so as to induce the enemy to surrender and end the war earlier. After all, no one wants to occupy a desolate and scorched earth after victory, let alone a place full of poison.

After Cheng Haofeng heard what they said, he muttered again, and asked Zheng Huiliao to lend them this gadget for the time being, and then left with Hu Xianxian and went elsewhere.

After walking a few steps, they heard Zheng Huiliao and several young soldiers talking about victory behind them, and they also let out bursts of hearty laughter, and they looked back enviously.

"Once upon a time, I was so high-spirited, thinking that with my blood and ability, I could protect the country and the people, punish the traitors and eliminate the evil. To this day, it can still be said that it has failed to contribute to the country's social work, and it has also failed the high expectations of the teacher, and it has also failed the affectionate ...... of the beloved woman."

Hu Xianxian heard him sigh like this, clenched his hand anxiously, and stared at him worriedly and suspiciously.

He smiled reluctantly, stroked her hair and said, "I just haven't been awkward and sour for a long time, and I sighed indiscriminately, it's nothing." Go to my tent, and I will consult with you. ”

When they arrived at Cheng Haofeng's tent, after they sat down, he said slowly: "Xianxian, you have to go to Qiyun Mountain Villa." The 'cloud' character pattern is a unique mark of the Yun family, and when I heard the retreat, I suspect that the strange person is a member of the Yun family, and it is likely to be the second uncle of the current owner Yun Biqiong. ”

Hu Xianxian looked at him puzzled, and he said in detail: "More than ten years ago, the owner of Yun Lao Zhuang died of illness. Half of the people in the village supported the eldest lady to succeed as the owner, and half of them supported Yun Erye's succession.

In the first few years after Yun Erye left, news about him came out from time to time, and then his whereabouts gradually disappeared into the rivers and lakes.

The people of the Yun family, regardless of their lineage, are all forging weapons for others in the name of Qiyun Villa, and there are special marks on the utensils, and the marks on the gadgets cannot be carved randomly.

The gold and silver spears are so well made, and the alloy craftsmanship is rare in the world, so why did it leave no marks on the finished product that the craftsman was very proud of? That should be because Second Master Yun doesn't want others to know his whereabouts.

However, such a gadget was not noticeable, and maybe he himself forgot that there was a mark of the Yun family on it, so the clue was left. ”

Hearing him say this, Hu Xianxian thought for a moment and asked, "Even if things are like this, what then?" Second Master Yun is no longer in Qiyun Villa, and I can't visit anyone when I go. Do you want to take advantage of the friendship between Second Master Yun and the Zheng family to let me lobby Yun Biqiong and ask the people of Qiyun Villa to help us cast weapons? “

Cheng Haofeng bowed slightly, Hu Xianxian frowned and said: "This is indeed a good way, they are a refining family, and making weapons is their specialty, but most of them will not agree to help, before the situation is stable, they will definitely remain neutral." ”

Cheng Haofeng shook his head and smiled a little helplessly: "We have to ask Yun Biqiong to make us weapons, but not by virtue of the relationship between Second Master Yun and the Zheng family, we want to threaten her and make her have to help us." ”

As he spoke, Cheng Haofeng took out the purple sword and handed it to Hu Xianxian with the gadget.

Hu Xianxian understood, it was to coerce Yun Biqiong to agree with Shui Jianxu and Second Uncle Yun.

"To use people's privacy to force others is a means to persuade them to help our army put down the rebellion as much as possible. If she insists on refusing, she will first use the matter of Second Uncle Yun to deceive her, and don't talk about Shui Jianxu until she has to do so. ”

Cheng Haofeng saw Hu Xianxian's complicated expression, and knew that she was unwilling to do that, not because she didn't want to embarrass Yun Biqiong, but because she didn't want to live up to Shui Jianxu's trust.

Shui Jianxu definitely refused to stir up any ripples in Yun Biqiong's heart, he would rather forget than take revenge, he just didn't want to have anything to do with Yun Biqiong anymore, how could he be willing to let others use their affairs as bargaining chips?

"Although Shui Jianxu doesn't want to talk about the past again, his greatest wish is to make his child well, and we can protect his child more. In this way, after you go to Qiyun Mountain Villa, if you find out that there are children between them, then mention the matter of the water sword void, if not, then there is no need to mention it. ”

Cheng Haofeng persuaded again and again, and made a slight concession, Hu Xianxian understood that he needed Qiyun Villa's help to improve his weapons.

How could she know that as long as she broke through Kuozhou City, she would be able to increase her chances of winning. When the war situation is clear, the war will soon be over, and it will be good for the country and the people. After pondering for a while, she agreed to go to Qiyun Villa.

After making a decision, Hu Xianxian went to see Hu Yonggang and explained the matter in detail. After much deliberation, he allowed her to go.

Shortly after Hu Xianxian set off, the Iron Guard of the Broken Army caught a spy sent by the enemy while patrolling the camp. Hu Yonggang was dealing with the materials gathered from everywhere with Blood Wuqi, so he asked them to bring them to Cheng Haofeng for trial.

The iron guard escorted the spy to Cheng Haofeng's tent, and when he saw Cheng Haofeng, he scolded loudly, looking awe-inspiring as if he only wanted to die quickly and would never rebel.

"You think you have a lot of backbone, don't you?" Cheng Haofeng asked lightly, and the words that came out of his scolding were just like a breeze.

"Bah, bah, bah! Lao Tzu is more backbone than you! The spy wanted to spit in Cheng Haofeng's face, but he was pressed to his knees by the iron guard, and he couldn't spit out, so he had to spit on the ground.

"You are not afraid of death, you are really a good subordinate of Han Zecan. You have worked for him, but you do not know why this war started, and it is a pity and a pity. ”

"I don't know why the war started? How did I not know? It's your demon who has power, and the country has no peace! One day, you will have to kill your henchmen, overthrow the rule of the puppet emperor, and return the Dafa Dynasty to a peaceful world! ”

The spy spoke eloquently and impassionedly. The iron guards were harsh when they heard it, and they couldn't help but punch him twice, and Cheng Haofeng hurriedly stopped the iron guards.

"Your boss told you to say this, right? Otherwise, you won't be able to say such a mouthful of clichés. Cheng Haofeng looked at the spy with a smile and said. He Yuese's appearance is not like interrogating enemy spies, but more like teasing naughty children.

"What if your boss taught you? That's right, I'll write it down! The spy raised his head and craned his neck.

"You have to listen to your boss, what else did your boss say bad about me?"

"What do you mean by speaking ill of you? Your demon is originally scheming, insidious and vicious, smiling in front of you and killing people behind your back...... All your mana is cultivated by eating human flesh! You also specialize in lewd and filthy things, and spend all your days drinking and drinking in the barracks......"

When Cheng Haofeng heard these words, he couldn't help laughing: "Cannibalism? I really don't have the blessing to eat human flesh, or I would have stewed you for me to taste? ”

"You...... You are so cruel, you will be thundered by the sky! You ......" the spy shuddered and cursed.

Cheng Haofeng pursed his lips: "I have already been hit by five thunders, you curse other more vicious." ”

The spy was about to come up with more words, and when he said this, he swallowed the curse alive.

Cheng Haofeng circled around his stunned face, and asked very slowly: "You tell me so badly, what do you think of the scene in my camp?" ”

"I didn't see anything, just patrolling soldiers walking around, a few wounded soldiers chatting under the shade of trees." The spy replied honestly.

"Then you're incompetent, and you haven't found any useful information."

Hearing Cheng Haofeng evaluate himself like this, the spy lowered his head a little ashamedly. He only did a few things to find out the news, but he was from a distance, and he really didn't find any useful news.

"I know the latest cloth, I also know the preparation of many important materials, and I am also preparing to make new weapons, do you want me to tell you?"

Cheng Haofeng's sarcastic words made the spy even more ashamed, as if only death could wash away the shame of being captured.

Seeing that his whole person was like a frosted eggplant, Cheng Haofeng said: "Just tell me what your generals have scolded me, and I'll tell you a little bit of information." ”

"Hmph, you think I'm stupid? I have passed on to you what the generals said, can't you analyze the military situation from their words? Why do you care what others scold you, you obviously want to trick me! ”

The spy was not stupid enough to be that stupid, and he was repeatedly ridiculed by Cheng Haofeng, and he raised his head and stared again.

"How can I not care what people scold me? Of course I care, I know what others are scolding me, so I can scold back. ”

Cheng Haofeng was still quite serious and said things that were out of tune.
