Shen Zetang smiled and was speechless, he took out the silk paper from the drawer and handed it to Tian Yu, Tian Yu took the scroll, and saw that it was a weapon design pattern, he didn't care at first, and then his expression gradually changed from astonishment to solemnity, and he sighed secretly: "These weapons that have been changed and forged are indeed more powerful. He asked again: "But Shen Ge's handwriting?" ”

Shen Zetang bowed his jaw and said in a calm tone: "Although it is my handwriting, it is only a picture, Qin Yanzhao, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, has forged weapons in front of the emperor and his ministers, artillery, guns, rockets and all kinds of lead bullets, forks and gunpowder, etc., are no different from the greatly modified weapons in the picture." “

Zhu Yi frowned when he heard this, and asked very strangely: "How did your weapon pattern fall into the hands of Qin Shilang?" This place is heavily guarded, and there are many secret guards, so he doesn't dare to steal it. ”

Shen Zetang picked up the cup and ate tea, and finally said helplessly: "Things in the world are unpredictable, and it is beyond the expectations of ordinary people. A batch of weapons supplied by Tian Shang has been transported to Nanjing Qinglong Mountain for forging, if you still have a powerful weapon in your hand, you may as well know everything. ”

Tian Yu looked at him for a while, and suddenly his tone became contemptuous: "It is really difficult to transport this weapon by sea this time, and there is only one step missing, that is, the soldiers of the defense sea will be stolen, just to make this little profit for you...... It's not worth the risk. “

Zhu Yi's expression froze, Shen Zetang's joy and anger were invisible, and he said: "Tian Shang's words are bad! If you only need to transport our weapons, you will not be so embarrassed, and you will have other heavy weapons in your hands. ”

Tian Yu's face changed slightly, and he hooked his lips and smiled: "What does Shen Ge Lao mean by this?" “

The night wind blew through the branches, and a wisp of coolness penetrated through the crack in the window, blowing the candle flame swaying and swaying, Shen Zetang continued to say in a deep voice: "My dynasty is in a state of mountain rain and wind full of buildings, Tian Shang has a keen smell, how can he not know, and how can he let go of such an opportunity, he will definitely make a windfall between the two sides, you are a businessman with heavy profits, but there is nothing to be ashamed of, even if you are doing business, you might as well show your weapons and watch with us to see if it is worth buying with a lot of money." ”

Tian Yu smiled: "Shen Ge Lao really knows everything, what you said is right, I am a businessman who values profits, and the battle for imperial power has nothing to do with me, naturally whoever allows me more than two silver, I will give the weapon to whomever I want, but ......." He paused, and said lightly to Shen Zetang: "But this time I can give you the weapon without asking for a penny." ”

Saying that, he took out an atlas from his sleeve cage and held it to Zhu Yi with both hands, Zhu Yi waved his hand and asked him to hand it to Shen Zetang, and he followed.

Shen Zetang took it, that is, he was attracted by the opening of the picture, the gun tube was placed on the solid wooden frame is very majestic, Tian Yu said: "This gun is called the Nine Arrows Drill Heart Poison Fire Thunder Gun, the body is cast with fine copper, the body is three feet eight inches long, the medicine room has a lead fire hole, the tail has an iron handle, and the angle of fire can be adjusted, so as to rotate and attack, the gun hides nine arrows, and the arrow is dipped in tiger medicine, but where the fire is ignited, the nine arrows are fired together, piercing the heart and bones, no one is unstoppable, the person who hits the arrow will die immediately, and one gun is used by nine soldiers." “

Seeing Shen Zetang turn another page, he continued: "This thing is called the fire crossbow meteor arrow, the crossbow is made of bamboo, the barrel is two feet five inches long, and it is entangled with two iron wire hoops, ten arrows are placed inside, the arrow is two feet long, the arrow is dipped in tiger medicine, the fire letter is ignited, and all the arrows are fired together, like a flying locust, and a crossbow is worth ten soldiers." “

Shen Zetang turned to which page, Tian Yuju came easily, such as a number of treasures, it is not easy to be a soldier and an arms merchant to his job.

After the volume is finished, although there are only a dozen firearms, its deterrence is shocking to the bottom of people's hearts.

Shen Zetang knows that they are all good things that are difficult to buy with a lot of money, and if he can get them, he will be like a tiger, but ....... He smiled and said: "You don't ask for a penny to send me, but let me become a second monk, the Ming people don't say secret words, since you don't want silver taels, then what do you want from me?" Official, famous, beautiful or other? “

Half of Tian Yu's golden mask shone under the candlelight, but his eyes were as black as paint, he got up silently, and said: "It's not early, I have made an appointment to talk about old acquaintances that I haven't seen for a long time, and if Shen Ge is old and free tomorrow, I can come to visit again." ”

Shen Zetang knew that he would not say anything more, so he smiled and said: "I will be in the mansion tomorrow, and you will come." ”

Tian Yu bowed his head, gave Zhu Yi another hand, said a few words, and left.

"This field merchant behaves quite strangely." Zhu Yi ate a belly of meatloaf, felt a little supportive, leaned back in the chair and said, "You said half of what you said before, what about the follow-up?" “

Shen Zetang poured tea for him, and said: "The emperor is sensitive and suspicious, let him kill his relatives in the capital, he will be afraid of being spurned by the world, and his reputation will be infamous in history." When the prince confronts him, he needs to collect the majestic momentum, show a kind and virtuous attitude, and everything goes well, and he has no excuse to find. The only people you have to watch out for are Xu Bingyong, Zhou Chen, and Xia Wanchun, who want to put you to death, that is, the emperor is unwilling, and he is willing to take action quietly in the face of the world's disapproval. ”

"What can they do to me?" Zhu Yi was a little unimpressed.

Shen Zetang's face was solemn: "I received a secret letter, the assassins of the 'Eagle Heaven Alliance' have recently entered Beijing from all over the world, the number of people is really unpredictable, they are strong in martial arts, meticulous planning and ruthless, they are still good at poison and human Gu, the palace of the prince needs to be guarded by excellent guards, beware of sudden trouble." “

Zhu Yi was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I have thought of a wonderful method, it is better to plan ........" “

He looked at Shen Zetang, paused, and exchanged a tacit smile with each other, everything was silent.

...............................

Tian Jiang came out of the study, did not hurry back to Qitong Courtyard, accompanied by Cai Rong, walked through the hall to Shen Li's residence, and saw the three big characters "Lei Zangyuan" on the plaque on the door, and secretly felt surprised in his heart.

Ordinary boudoir women's wing, named more to the courtyard in the scene, or lyrical feelings, such as their own residence "Qitong Courtyard", planted a few sycamores, the second lady's residence named "Lotus Lotus Garden", build a pool of lotus ponds, and the residence of the eldest lady and the young master, then named "filial piety and incorruptible residence", the meaning of the hidden career, she can't guess what the "Lei Zang Yuan" is to do.

Just as she thought about it, she had walked into the courtyard, and when Mama Deng and the two girls heard the voice, they hurriedly greeted the ceremony, and asked with a smile: "Why is the second grandmother here?" Why didn't you carry a lamp to guide the way when it was dark at night? ”

Tian Jiang said with a smile: "The moonlight is as bright as a silver basin tonight, I don't think the road is dark, I came out of the master's study and passed by here, so I came to see Sister Li'er, but I fell asleep?" ”

"I haven't slept until I haven't slept, now in autumn and winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and I am working hard to be a female red under the lamp." Mama Deng explained, and the other two girls vied with each other to open the curtain cage.

Tian Jiang entered the house, and saw Shen Li coming to greet him when he heard the sound, and his childish face was full of nervousness: "Daddy is angry?" ”

Tian Jiang shook his head and smiled: "Your father is the most reasonable, he will know what is right and which is wrong as soon as he hears it, and we are not wrong, what can he be angry about!" “
