Zhuang Rou followed Mo Zuo's hand and saw that there were several boxes piled up over there, and he didn't know what was inside, as if he had been removed from the ship not long ago.

"What's that?" Curious, she walked over and opened a box.

Mo Zuo wanted to stop it, but seeing that she had already opened the lid, she didn't bother to block it anymore, but walked over and said a little provocatively: "Tao Lei, it is something that the Xuanji Camp just sent, it is said that it was made by the King of Yinde County last year, and now such a batch has been produced." ”

A lot of straw was placed in the box to make mats, and then round gray-white pottery balls were wrapped in bamboo baskets and fixed in wooden boxes.

Zhuang Rou wanted to pick one up and take a look, but when she saw that it was tied too strongly, she dispelled the idea. Instead, he squatted down, leaned on the side of the box and asked curiously, "Tao Lei, what is it?" ”

"I haven't tried it either, but the people in the Xuanji Camp say it's like a big firework that explodes as long as it's lit. The sound is like thunder, so it is called Taurlei. "Mo Zuo has never used this kind of thing.

He knew that after the Xuanji Camp was asked by the King of Yinde County to ask the Queen Mother, he collected a lot of skilled craftsmen from the people, and they were playing with some things all day long, and none of them were serious.

At that time, the people in the capital laughed at him, saying that he was a plaything and was destined to be a fool. And the king of Yindejun at that time said a word and blocked everyone's mouths.

Mo Zuo still remembers that sentence, because it was too unproductive, what he said at that time was: If you don't play, you will have ambitions.

Mo Zuo, who was high-spirited at that time, also used this matter to warn Mo You, asking him to listen to what this kind of unambitious person said, but he must not learn like this every day in the capital.

And this person, who was underestimated by everyone, with those craftsmen who could only make gadgets, made such a thing as Tauré.

In this Hongzhou incident, the emperor and Zhuang Xuewen will choose the king of Yinde County, presumably because he is really capable, not a simple gentleman.

Mo Zuo thought so in his heart, so he looked up at Zhuang Rou, and sympathized with Chu Xia more and more, obviously a man with a future who was running to the avenue, but he was going to be involved with a woman like her.

If it weren't for her brother's presence, maybe one day she would have been cut down.

Wait a minute!

Mo Zuo suddenly realized that he stared at Zhuang Rou with wide eyes, and Zhuang Rou felt uncomfortable when he saw it, and asked inexplicably: "Why are you staring at me like this!" ”

"King Yinde wants to marry you, but he doesn't mean to you, but because he knows that your brother Zhuang Xuewen will soar and become a powerful person in the future." Mo Zuo finally understood why Chu Xia, who was a distant relative of the royal family, would want to be involved with a woman like her.

Why is the person who decides the affairs of Hongzhou this time be Chu Xia, a gentleman who does nothing in the capital and can only eat, drink, and make trouble.

All this is because Zhuang Rou has an elder brother named Zhuang Xuewen!

Zhuang Rou looked at Mo Zuo in confusion, could he still think of such a thing?

Mo Zuo frowned and said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, he is the one who has been messing around in Beijing, and his vision is really not comparable to ours." The king of Yindejun just takes a fancy to your brother's future power, as long as he marries you, he can protect his glory and wealth, you are just a pawn. ”

"If there is no Zhuang Xuewen, he will not marry you at all, you should be less close to him."

"......" Zhuang Rou laughed at the corners of her mouth after hearing this, "Brother, I'm afraid you forgot one thing, when you proposed to me, wasn't the original reason that my brother was Zhuang Xuewen?" ”

"Why did I reject your proposal at that time, because you didn't propose because of me, but only my brother. Now that you can think of this, you have forgotten about yourself, I'm afraid it's not good. ”

This one!

Mo Zuo was surprised, there were indeed considerations in this regard at that time, although some people thought she was bold and interesting, but they could only blame the good girl for seeing too much, and it was a bit cheap to meet a girl like her for a while.

He argued with some cheekiness: "It's not that I don't plan to marry you now, even if you don't marry the king of Yindejun, I won't marry you." ”

"I just don't want to see you being used, just forget if you don't know the hearts of good people! And you have no reason to talk about. He said with some annoyance.

Zhuang Rou looked down at Tao Lei in the box and said with a smile: "My brother said that he is joking, it is impossible for the King of Yinde County to marry me, he wants to marry Princess Rongbao of Qingliang Kingdom." I also didn't think about marrying him, it's clear that I wasn't high enough in his heart to make him give up everything. ”

Mo Zuo couldn't understand these words, "Isn't it possible to be a concubine?" ”

"What?" Zhuang Rou squinted and looked over, her eyes were full of killing intent, "If you mention being a concubine again, I will kill you, right now." ”

Mo Zuo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, what is a woman, why is it so terrifying?

"Isn't that the truth what I'm saying? The powerful and rich family, who does not have a few concubines. Not to mention that he is still the king of the county, if he doesn't look for it, I'm afraid the people in the palace will ask. He swallowed.

Zhuang Rou snorted, "So I don't allow him to marry, and I won't marry either, whoever breaks this ring will die." ”

The more he talked, the more he felt that something was wrong, Mo Zuo flattened his mouth, and tried to end the conversation with difficulty, "You are simply unreasonable......"

"Forget it, that's your business, why do I care so much. Let's continue to talk about Taurret, you didn't just want to go to the enemy camp to die, so you buried it. He decided to give up, and quickly pointed to Taure.

Zhuang Rou was here to do business, if Mo Zuo hadn't suddenly become a long-tongued woman, she wouldn't have talked so much nonsense.

She stretched out her finger and poked Taure, "How can this thing ignite, you can't let me bury it, but don't tell me how it will blow up." Seeing how tightly it is tied, it might up to death with a shake. ”

"It's not a cannon." Mo Zuo is talking about a kind of small cannon wrapped in wool paper, children will buy some to play with during the Chinese New Year, and they will snap when they are thrown on the ground, without any lethality, just fun.

However, he added, "The Xuanji Battalion has an explanation, don't hit it too violently, there is a lot of gunpowder in it, it will really explode." They once tried in the house, and one could blow up a room, and if a person was killed, he would be crippled. ”

Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and asked with great interest: "It's really interesting, I'll bury it, how can this thing be fried?" ”

Mo Zuo looked at her happy look and felt that he should tell her that he couldn't be blown up by her when he returned to Yuwan.

"Then I'll look for it myself and take it out and take a look." Zhuang Rou didn't give him time to think about it, and reached out and began to pull the bamboo cage outside Tao Lei.

This frightened Mo Zuo, and he quickly pressed Tao Lei with his hand and shouted, "Stop! I told you that it was not possible yet! ”

"Okay." Zhuang Rou let go of her hand, smiled and said innocently, "I don't move them, you say it quickly." ”

Mo Zuo took a deep breath, and then said reluctantly: "There is a line on them, which is blocked by a bamboo basket, as long as this line is ignited, it will explode." ”

"Then after I'm done, I'll light one and find the others? It's so stupid! Zhuang Rou exclaimed, it must be messed up to blow one, and you can still quietly touch something else!

After a few breaths of silence, Mo Zuo said: "If the other one does not ignite within twenty steps, it will also be destroyed by other explosions, and it will explode together." ”

Zhuang Rou nodded understandingly, and said clearly: "You kid didn't want to tell me just now, you just wanted me not to run away after I was buried, and I was killed together!" ”

"You have a kind, I'll go under your bed at night and put one under your bed and blow you up to the sky!"

Mo Zuo, who had a bitter face, muttered helplessly: "I'm just afraid that you will use it indiscriminately, so I don't want to tell you." Sure enough, as I thought, eldest sister, if you want to go to the enemy camp, go quickly, I will kill chickens and fish to see you off. ”

Hearing that there were fish and chickens, Zhuang Rou and Yinba's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, you cook it immediately, I'll eat it and leave!" ”

Mo Zuo immediately came to his senses, snapped the lid of Tao Lei's box, and shouted loudly: "Shuigen! Tell the kitchen to kill chickens and fish, and set up a feast to entertain Zhuang and the horses! ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they all looked up at Mo Zuo, but they didn't hear him say that everyone also had a share, and they were all deflated, and it seemed that they would have to continue to eat coarse grains for a while.
