The door of the courtyard where Qian Su lived was open, and he could enter it as soon as he pushed it, and when Yan Liqiang entered the courtyard, he saw Qian Su lying on a recliner under the grape trellis in his yard, closing his eyes and enjoying a cool lunch break, shaking gracefully.

Qian Su was out a few days ago, and today he was recuperating in the camp, and he did not leave the camp, so he rested in the camp after lunch.

I don't know why, as soon as he saw Qian Su's appearance, Yan Liqiang remembered the men he saw in the bathing center in his previous life who were lying in the rest area resting after wielding the big sword for two hours.

"Ahem...... cough ......" Yan Liqiang coughed twice.

Qian Su finally opened his eyes and saw Yan Liqiang, then got up from the recliner and beckoned Yan Liqiang to come over.

"Uncle Qian!"

Qian Su glanced Zhang Tie up and down, with a playful smile on his face, "I heard that Zhou Yong gave you all the horned python bows he collected?"

"In that situation at that time, it was not good not to accept it!" Zhang Tie was not surprised, although Qian Su was not in the courtyard of those sergeants in the morning, but none of the big and small things that happened in this craftsman battalion could not escape his ears and eyes, and he, who was the camp supervisor, if he didn't even have this ability, then there was no need to mix it up.

"Hahaha, take it and accept it, that horned python bow is worth at least one hundred and thirty taels of gold, which is worth a lot of money, and it is a five-stone strong bow, Zhou Yong is still a little difficult to use, that bow has been in his hand for several years, it seems that it is still related to you, it is prepared for you!"

"It's Brother Zhou who is too polite!"

"Although I am not a samurai, but I also know that the bow is the head of the six arts, there is a reason, many alien races even put the bow and the martial arts side by side, especially in the army, the bow is a sharp weapon for conquest, the weight of the bow, but also above the martial arts, if a person can make achievements in the bow, the same can also fly Huang Tengda, a new samurai first entered the army, at most is the same as me, awarded the rank of a flying captain, and even if a person does not build a foundation, not a samurai, but if the archery cultivation can reach the realm of the triple heavens, enter the army, the starting point is the Eagle Yang Captain, one order higher than me, and more respected by the superiors......" After saying this, Qian Su smashed his mouth with a reminiscent taste, and then remembered something, "By the way, what is the matter with you, do you want to leave the camp?"

"This ...... I've been in the camp for half a month, I want to go out to breathe and relax, I haven't been to Huanglong County yet, so I'm going to go around the county town and relax one by one, so I can go further!" Yan Liqiang said with a smile.

"If you want to go out of the camp alone two days ago, I'm afraid I will have to arrange two sergeants to follow you to rest assured, but looking at your performance today, after the horse step pass, ordinary people are no longer your opponents, and arranging two people to follow you will not have much effect!" Qian Su groaned for a while, and then handed over a waist card on his body," In this way, you take my waist card, Zhu Zhutou in Huanglong County, and the county lieutenant, they are all familiar with me, and they all know my waist card, if you encounter something in the county town that can't be solved, you will show this waist card, saying that it is my nephew, no one dares to mess around!"

"Thank you Uncle Qian!" Yan Liqiang took the waist card, glanced at it, put it in his arms and put it away, and then said goodbye to Qian Su.

As soon as he walked to the door of Qian Su's courtyard, Qian Su's voice came from behind, "Remember, there is a knife on the head of the color character, you have just passed the horse step pass, and it is normal for you to be mindful, but don't be confused in this kind of thing and destroy your future!"

Could it be that Qian Su thought that he was going to play the big sword when he entered the county, Yan Liqiang was speechless, he turned his head and glanced at Qian Su, "Uncle Qian reminded me twice, I won't be confused!"

"That's good, that's good!" Qian Su yawned and lay back on his recliner.

......

Yan Liqiang came out of Qian Su's courtyard and went directly to the camp gate, and when he saw Zhang Tie coming out, the sergeants guarding the camp gate greeted Zhang Tie warmly, "Yan Shao, is this going out?"

"Yes, I've been here for many days, and I want to go to the county town!"

"If you want to walk here to the county seat, you have to walk two incense sticks to arrive, there is a distance, it is better for Yan Shao to take the car in the camp, the car in the camp is just going to the county seat today to buy rice and salt, you can stop by the ......"

"It's a coincidence, I don't know when the battalion bus will leave, if it's too late, I'll go by myself!"

"Ah, don't wait, don't wait, Yan Shao, look, isn't that coming?" As the sergeant pointed, Zhang Tie turned his head and saw a servant in the craftsman battalion driving a carriage out from behind.

It was an old servant in the kitchen in the craftsman camp who drove the car, naturally he knew Zhang Tie, and when he saw the car coming to the door, he stopped the car, and as soon as Zhang Tie said his purpose, the servant hurriedly asked Zhang Tie to get into the car.

The carriage was for pulling goods, there were no comfortable stools and chairs behind the carriage, only a few wooden planks, Yan Liqiang was not particular, he jumped on the carriage directly, sat on the wooden plank behind the carriage, and then left the craftsman camp with the cart and came to the main road outside.

"Young Master Yan, this car is for pulling things, and it's not easy to sit in the back, or you sit in front, and I'll get out of the car and lead the horse to go!" Seeing Yan Liqiang sitting in the back, the servant who was driving the car was a little uneasy, turned his head and said to Yan Liqiang.

There was only one place in front of the car, and Yan Liqiang wanted to sit on it, and the servants in the craftsman battalion could only go down.

Yan Liqiang laughed and shook his hand, "Hahaha, no, no, it's the same if I sit in the back, isn't there still a few planks here, just enough to sit, it's okay......"

The servant said it twice, and found that Yan Liqiang really didn't care, so he put his mind at ease.

"By the way, uncle, are you familiar with the county seat of Huanglong County?"

"Familiar, of course familiar, I don't have anything unfamiliar, I've lived in Huanglong County for decades!"

"Then I don't know if there are any fun and beautiful places in Huanglong County?"

"Yes, that's too much......"

Hearing Yan Liqiang's inquiry, the servants who drove the car came to their senses, and while driving the car, they talked to Yan Liqiang about all kinds of things in Huanglong County, and Yan Liqiang also listened to it with relish.

Yan Liqiang chatted with the servants who drove the car along the way, and he didn't feel bored, just more than ten minutes of effort, the carriage he sat in entered the county from the south gate of the county seat of Huanglong County, and the soldiers guarding the city gate seemed to know where the carriage came from.

It was in the afternoon, the streets in the county seat of Huanglong County were bustling, cars and pedestrians, during the flooding period, it was very lively, Yan Liqiang took a look, the streets of the county seat of Huanglong County were indeed much wider than those of Qinghe County, there were more high-rise shops on the street, there were many merchants and businessmen who came and went, and the whole county was two or three times larger than the county seat of Qinghe County, which was the size of a city.

And the same as the county seat of Qinghe County, the vast majority of young people on the streets here have swords and other weapons hanging on their waists, and everyone is used to it.

"Young Master Yan, the Wanfeng Rice Store I want to go to is just turn left on the street in front, I don't know where Young Master Yan is going, I'll drive you there first......"

"No need, thank you, I'll get off here!" Yan Liqiang said, jumped off the car quickly, and stood on the side of the road.

"Young Master Yan still want to take the car when he goes back, if you want to, I will wait for you at the south gate of the county seat when I finish pulling the goods!"

"No need, I'll ......go back myself when I'm done shopping," Yan Liqiang said, waving his hand to the driver who was driving the car, and in the blink of an eye, he slipped into the crowd.

The servant who was driving the car saw it, shook his head with a smile, and said no more, and drove the car to do the goods himself.

......

Yan Liqiang wandered the streets of Huanglong County, looking for an ice-making shop.

There is an ice shop in the county seat of Qinghe County, and this Huanglong County is not much more prosperous than Qinghe County, so there will naturally be an ice shop.

On the way here just now, he talked with the coachman all the way and has obtained a lot of useful information, there is not only one, but three ice shops in Huanglong County.

The ice shop in this county town, one is near Chaoyang Lane in the county, one is not far from the county government, and one is in a place called Dashuijing in the north of the city.

Yan Liqiang has just arrived, although he already knows the location of the ice shop, but he is not familiar with the place, so he can only slowly grope to find it.

And the reason why he wanted to find an ice shop, of course, was not to buy ice, but to buy something else - saltpeter.

Half a month ago, when he had just arrived at the Craftsman's Camp and saw the sulfur sprinkled on the ground in his yard, he had this thought in his heart.

He came to Huanglong County this time to avoid disaster, and this disaster came from the Hong family, the Hong family and his family both live in Liuhe Town, he can avoid it for a while, but he can't avoid it for a lifetime, he can't live in the craftsman camp for the rest of his life, thinking of the Hong family's methods, Yan Liqiang's heart is actually full of a sense of crisis.

As a normal person, of course he would not sit idly by, waiting for the Hong family to impose means on him, cutting off his future and even his life, and after seeing the sulfur in the craftsman camp that day, Yan Liqiang naturally came up with the formula of gunpowder in his mind.

There is no gunpowder in this world so far, and as a modern person, a promising young man who has been baptized by "Mine Warfare" since he was a child, Yan Liqiang is very familiar with the power of gunpowder, as long as he can make gunpowder, he can make something with gunpowder, and when it is critical, he will have an extra hole card, maybe he can save a small life.

There was a great deal of brimstone in the armoury camp, and there was no shortage of charcoal, even without saltpeter.

This is a strange world, many things and laws are difficult to explain with the so-called scientific truth, such as the strange aura, all kinds of strange animals and the celestial and human induction of martial arts, Yan Liqiang actually has no bottom in his heart, I don't know if he can use the same formula to make gunpowder, but this idea and the formula of gunpowder have always been in his heart, as a person who lives again, if he doesn't give it a try, he will not be willing.

If his opponent is only Hong Tao of the Hong family, even if Hong Tao learns the iron sand palm, Yan Liqiang at this time is confident that he can beat Hong Tao all over the ground to find teeth, but Yan Liqiang knows that if the Hong family really wants to finally cut off his way and make him unable to advance to the samurai, then the Hong family's means, or the person who wants to deal with him, is definitely not Hong Tao......

In the preliminary examination of national arts, the Hong family can even use ice ants, and even their friends can buy it, which means that the Hong family has completely unscrupulous means in order to deal with themselves and keep their Hong family's status and interests in Liuhe Town.

Even if he has passed the Mabu Pass now, the crisis of the Hong family has not been lifted, a person who has passed the Mabu Pass is not in the eyes of the Hong family, and as the time of the national arts examination in a month and a half is getting closer and closer, this crisis is probably imminent - since the Hong family has already started this year, it will never allow itself to be delayed until next year and add more variables......

This is Yan Liqiang's basic judgment on his own situation and the Hong family, in order to protect himself and cope with the upcoming crisis, Yan Liqiang must be prepared......
