Chapter 294: Preparations for War (1)
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
In this year, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi have been in obscurity, whether it is the musket production capacity and research of the Lu Xiaozi Workshop, or the Divine Machine Army, they have all made tremendous development.
The development of musket power and research, as well as the formation of the Divine Army, cost a lot of money. Here, Lu Xiaozi is already rich and rivals the country, but what Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi didn't expect was that even Tiemuzi was an invisible rich man.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand at all, after all, Temuzi is the first emperor benefactor, the world's first doctor, birth, old age, sickness and death are the test of fate that no powerful can escape, in order to save their lives, no matter how much money they pay, as long as they can get a quick glance of Temuzi, they will not hesitate. Over the years, Temuzi has accumulated a huge amount of wealth.
For Lu Shorty, studying muskets has become his lifelong wish, and no matter how much money is thrown into it, it is also a matter of course. As for Tie Muzi, those wealth are just a pile of dead wood and garbage to him, and it is also a pile of dust anyway, so it is better to give it to Gu Panxi, a precious apprentice, to do something valuable.
In the previous life, there was no father and no mother, and in this life, he also crossed over and died his father and mother. This kind of taste is really fluttering, and it is a little difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
In addition to the support of Lu Xiaozi and Tie Muzi, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi also got a windfall.
Shi Feiqing has always been incorruptible, since he began to subsidize the widows and loneliness in the city, he has not much money left, plus he and Gu Panxi have been demoted to commoners, and they have lost the funding of the Dawu Imperial Court, it is said that Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi will not be able to come up with any money to spare.
But Gu Panxi was shrewd, she thought to herself, since the Zhao Wangfu was originally the mansion of the rich family of the previous dynasty, since this rich man would take great pains to dig such a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the city, then didn't he dig other dark rooms in the Zhao Wangfu?
If there is still a dark room in King Zhao's mansion that Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi have not noticed, then is it possible that this dark room is the small treasury of this rich man?
Gu Panxi is also a resolute thing, after she thought of this, she took advantage of the night that night and followed Shi Feiqing back to King Zhao's mansion. It was one night a month after Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi were released from prison.
At that time, Tiemuzi was still holding on, and stayed in the Zhao Wangfu as a nail household. Whether it was the people from the Yamen of Le'an Mansion or the people in the palace, they did not dare to forcibly break into King Zhao's Mansion and interfere with him, the benefactor of the first emperor, which brought great convenience to Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi.
After Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi converged with Tie Muzi, they immediately explained their intentions to Tie Muzi, and after hearing this, Tie Muzi couldn't help but laugh and scolded Gu Panxi: "You stinky girl, you are really a ghost." It's really not impossible. It's just that if you want to hunt for treasure in this huge Zhao Wang's mansion, I'm afraid it will take some time. ”
"Not necessarily."
Gu Panxi pursed his lips proudly, took out the floor plan of Zhao Wangfu from his arms, and tilted the torch a little bit in tacit agreement to ensure that Gu Panxi, Tie Muzi and himself could see it clearly.
On this floor plan, there are a lot of graffiti paintings, and when Tie Muzi recognized it carefully, he recognized the handwriting of his old friend Lu Xiaozi.
"Lu Shorty has already studied it for you?"
Temuzi stroked his long beard, a little excited.
"That's right. Thanks to the help of Master Lu, who is proficient in construction engineering, we don't have to touch the elephant blindly. ”
Gu Panxi followed his finger along the handwriting of Lu Xiaozi on the floor plan of Zhao Wangfu, and explained: "Master Lu said that after considering the topography and structure, if you want to consider the convenience of secretly entering and exiting, and at the same time digging a dark room without causing collapse, the surroundings of the master bedroom, study, martial arts arena, and warehouse of Zhao Wangfu are the most likely. We only need to focus on these three places first, and maybe we will find out. ”
Temuzi nodded and agreed: "Since this is the case, without further ado, we will act." ”
"We? Who said we're going to find it together? ”
When Tiemuzi heard Gu Panxi ask rhetorically, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and raised his head and said, "Stinky girl, what do you mean?" ”
Gu Panxi grinned and said, "What I mean is, let Lao Tie find it by yourself." You see, the master bedroom, study, martial arts arena and warehouse of Zhao Wang's Mansion are not small, and if you want to find a dark room, you really have to turn over the cabinets, and I can't wait to lift every floor tile to take a look twice. This kind of thing is too wasteful of time, and it can't be done in one night or two nights. If I want to participate, I can only choose the dark light at night, which is less efficient, so I want to ......"
"So you're going to let the teacher look for it alone? You're going to die of exhaustion as a teacher, this old bone! ”
"Master~"
Gu Panxi usually calls Lao Tie when he has nothing to do, but when he has something, he obediently changes his name to the master.
"Master~ Your old man is going to be a nail household in King Zhao's mansion anyway, and the people outside are afraid of the master's authority, and they don't dare to come in and disturb, you just happen to be in the daytime, you can play this treasure hunt game freely."
Temuzi's eyes were round, angry and funny.
Shi Feiqing said: "Uncle is old, and Panxi's proposal to let my uncle work alone is indeed a bit of nonsense." If the uncle does not dislike it, the little nephew is willing to come at this time every night to help the uncle find it. ”
"Gotta get it, who said that the old man is too old to work alone? Who wants you to be nosy? ”
When Tie Muzi was said by Shi Feiqing, he felt impatient, and he blatantly refused to recognize his old age, he turned his head to look at Gu Panxi, and said angrily: "Stinky girl, as a teacher, I reluctantly agreed to your request." But you also have to agree to a request for the teacher. ”
Gu Panxi saw Tie Muzi bite the hook, and agreed without hesitation: "Although the master speaks, as long as the apprentice can do it, I will definitely do it!" ”
Tie Muzi raised one eyebrow, smiled, and said: "This is simple, you give it as a teacher, pour tea and water, wash and fold quilts, serve well as a teacher, and do the gift of an apprentice for a year!" ”
Gu Panxi's willow eyebrows were upside down, and he bargained: "No laundry, no quilt!" Trimester! ”
"Nine months!"
"Three months!"
"Okay, okay, one person takes a step back, half a year!"
Gu Panxi spread his hands and said disdainfully: "Hmph! Then let's not look for it first, anyway, it's so troublesome, it's not easy to find, and I don't know if it's really there. Lao Tie, you have given me a lot of your wealth, I will spend your share first! ”
"Oops, you stinky girl, this is going to cross the bridge and draw the board?!"
Tie Muzi's eyes were round, and he pointed at Gu Panxi and jumped to his feet.
Gu Panxi raised his chin smugly, with a look of fearless contempt.
Tiemuzi was helpless, shook his hand angrily, and said, "Three months is three months!" That's it! When I find something for the teacher, I'll contact you again! ”
Gu Panxi saw that his wishful thinking had started, and said a few words beautifully, "The master is so good" - anyway, it doesn't cost to say these beautiful words. Temuzi rolled his eyes and waved his hand to drive them away.
Gu Panxi got Tie Muzi's reply half a month later-Tie Muzi claimed that in the master bedroom of King Zhao's Mansion, a dark room switch was found.
On the night he learned the news, Gu Panxi, who was full of interest, pulled Shi Feiqing over, took Liuchuan, Zhao Zhong and Gu Yuefei, sneaked into Le'an Mansion, and prepared to carry money overnight.
Tiemuzi really didn't disappoint Gu Panxi, he did find the dark room under the undercover of the master of King Zhao's mansion, and the wealth hidden in this dark room also greatly surprised Shi Feiqing, Gu Panxi and the others.
The golden gold, silver, and Allah were piled up in a dark room that was no more than one person high and five steps wide, and the vertical height even exceeded Gu Panxi's height. If a person is forced into this mountain of gold and silver, it is not impossible to suffocate this person to death.
No wonder that rich man would be so cautious and dig such a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the city!
Gu Panxi secretly spoke, and without hesitation, he waved his hand and asked everyone to start carrying their belongings.
There are really a lot of treasures in this batch, although Gu Panxi and Shi Feiqing also brought Liuchuan, Zhao Zhong and Gu Yuefei, they still can't complete the transportation in one trip. The five men filled every bag of gold, silver, and jewelry they had brought with them as much as they could, but it took them three trips to empty the treasure in the dark room.
With the wealth of Lu Xiaozi, Tiemuzi and the rich man of the former dynasty who doesn't know who his name is, the problem of money can be said to be completely gone. All of Gu Panxi's plans are progressing steadily and in an orderly manner.
In this year's time, Shi Feiqing's gun fighting skills have also basically taken shape, and he has created a lot of movements and mental methods, making this skill a unique kung fu that can be taught to others.
After Gu Panxi saw the display of Shi Feiqing's gun fighting technique, he praised it and decisively decided to implement it. In the workshop of Lu Xiaozi, the two hundred and fifty musketeer trainers personally selected by her and Lu Xiaozi were all under the leadership of Shi Feiqing to learn gun fighting skills.
Gu Panxi has also made a lot of progress himself. After a whole year of Taoguang cultivation, her physique, with the help of her unremitting exercise and the power of the True Black Lotus, not only successfully returned to her own level as a Binjiang "Overlord Flower" in her previous life, but even went one step further and surpassed herself, reaching the peak of women's physique-women's bearded eyebrows.
Today's Gu Panxi, although her strength and endurance are still not as good as those of Shi Feiqing or Zhao Zhong and other male masters who practice martial arts, but in all aspects, she will not be inferior to the elite soldiers of the Di family's army, and it does not damage her reputation as "women do not let their eyebrows go".
Seeing that Gu Panxi's physique had progressed to this point, and she had reached a level where she could practice martial arts, Shi Feiqing was determined to let her learn gun fighting skills as well.
Gu Panxi also thought that this was a reasonable proposal, but the core of the gun fighting technique, the quasi-head and displacement, the quasi-head she had already made up for it with intermediate-level hits, and one step further, there was still room for improvement with high-level hits. As for the displacement......
Gu Panxi took a shortcut, she emptied her only remaining 100 gratitude points and 1000 experience points, and exchanged them for the first exchange discount in the "Martial Arts" column of the Black Lotus System Store, and exchanged for "Lingbo Weibu" with a discounted price!
The moment he learned to "Lingbo Weibu", Gu Panxi only felt that his body was as light as a swallow, and his whole body was fluttering, as if his toes were a little bit, and he would be like the wind
