Silk brocade made of silk, with a jade shaft, a symbol of noble status.

The purpose is to say: Ye's cloud crane, both intellectual, pure heart and virtue streamer, ethereal Lingyun ambition, and Zhu Yan Xiuya, the air is refined, it is a valuable talent, the value of the beacon fire troubled times, recruit talents, assist the world to disperse the gunsmoke, help me to consolidate the country forever, canonize the Marquis of Ningyang County, give the name Xuanyang, eat ten thousand households, heaven rewards diligence, gray and gray, do not lose my heart, Qin this!

Troubled times? At that time, the world was already peaceful, how did it come to the troubled times?

Although they were not born in that era, the major events in the world have their own imperial history records, and they naturally know a lot about the descendants of nobles such as Minghyun and Ye Qinglin.

Ye Qinglin speculated that this holy decree had never been seen as a problem, perhaps because when his grandfather was enthroned, the matter of the first emperor writing down the secret recipe had not yet spread, so it was not strange, but now that it is in their hands, they feel that the content is not so simple.

But even if the holy decree refers to something else, it is not necessarily a secret recipe, because there is no special formula in this content, perhaps they have been searching for so many years without success, and now they see everything like a secret recipe, forcibly linked together.

"Although it is unusual, just by reading between the lines, you can't be sure that it is the secret recipe." Ye Qinglin frowned deeply, if it was really a secret recipe, this record was so vague, how could he guess what was inside?

"Yes! It's so hard! Myeonghyun also sighed and shook his head, so hard, but in the end he couldn't understand it.

"Look again, go through all the books here, if there is nothing more unusual than this decree, this is it!" Ye Qinglin gave a decisive order.

All the subordinates immediately got busy, one by one in the pile of books, looking very carefully, for a while, only the tomb was left with the sound of "squirming" turning the book, although these subordinates did not know some words, but they have been forced to recognize the handwriting of the first emperor, as long as the font looks like the first emperor wrote, pick it out, let the master see, this is also a way.

After a lot of use of their hands and feet, I don't know how long it had been, and everyone began to feel tired, about the day outside that was about to dawn, but they couldn't find anything more useful than the holy decree.

In this case, let's take this holy decree as a secret recipe buried by the first emperor!

Ye Qinglin signaled everyone to retreat, and before leaving, he also went to bow down to the two stone coffins under the floating platform, asking his grandfather and grandmother for guidance.

Out of the tomb, sure enough, the sky began to brighten, they turned over the whole night, hurriedly restored the stone gate to its original state, and the group left quickly, lest they be discovered at dawn, and they were really regarded as tomb robbers.

did not go back to Ye Mansion, but went back to the small courtyard in the alley of North Street, and entered the hall, Ye Qinglin and Ming Hyun were so tired that they didn't want to speak, and they each sat on the wide chairs.

Liuyun came to urge them to use it early several times, but they didn't bother to pay attention to it.

The two of them had a helpless look on their faces, as if they were very unwilling, they felt that there was a harvest this time, and it seemed that they had no harvest at all, whether the holy decree was a secret recipe or not, if it was a secret recipe, but they could not solve the answer, it was equal to no, if it was not a secret recipe, then Princess Qinghe was not the person entrusted by the first emperor, so there was no hope for the secret recipe.

"Let's go!" Ye Qinglin stood up suddenly.

"Where?" Myeonghyun had his eyes closed, but he was frightened and opened them open

"Go to Kawaguchi Prefecture and take this holy decree to Liangchuankou to study, yes or no, you have to give it a try!" Ye Qinglin walked out as he spoke.

"Brother Luo is waiting for me!" Myeonghyun hurriedly got up and chased out.

Ye Qinglin quickly gathered the people, and did not forget to explain to the people guarding here, always keeping an eye on Licaoyuan, if Yin'er was in danger, he would immediately arrest her.

The fast horse whipped and ran for more than ten days, until the beginning of October, before arriving in Kawaguchi Prefecture, first in the post house for a short rest, hastily used some food, changed horses, and went east out of the city to the two rivers.

Passing by the county office, I heard that the new county commander here had taken office, Ye Qinglin and Ming Hyun planned to come back to deal with the county order, after all, the manor was in someone's territory.

The people who were placed in the county government before, without waiting for the new county commander to take office, have all been removed by Qin Shuyu to Liangchuankou, because those are all temporary establishments in the hands of the previous county commander Ziyu, and they are free to stay, mainly because Yin'er is not in the county office, and it is useless to put people there, only the concierge dog is still in the county ya, he is the lack of the old man in the original concierge, and he is considered a formal servant, and it is not good to retreat without a legitimate reason, so as not to be suspected.

These Ye Qinglin won't care, as long as Qin Shuyu and Du Jian arrange it, he will never ask about those people in the county government except for Yin'er's affairs.

Two hours later, we arrived at the mouth of the two rivers, and the place changed dramatically.

The miners of the Ministry of Industry have been evacuated, and on the left, their manor, which has not only been built, but also the exterior has been whitewashed with great detail.

As far as the eye can see, the six-storey circular inn stretches along both sides of the gate to the rear, while the buildings at the back of the manor are blocked, and only the pavilions on the hillside that rise and fall in the distance show the extraordinary scale of the manor.

There is an empty plaque hanging on the top of the gate, which is Qin Shuyu and Du Jian waiting for Ye Qinglin and Mingxun to name the manor.

The subordinates who were guarding outside, seeing that someone was coming, hurriedly trotted over, and found that they were the two bosses, so they quickly bowed and saluted, and the horse was led away from the side door, and one person led Ye Qinglin and Minghyun into the manor.

Entering the inside, Fang Jue's design is very ingenious, the gate is not a courtyard, but a very wide hall, because it is surrounded by a six-story inn building, this hall has also become a circle, with a ceiling on it, you can not be exposed to the wind and sun, and the round hall is close to the inside and also built a platform, it is said that you can sing opera on it.

The door behind the platform is the front yard, as well as the left courtyard and the right courtyard, which are used by visitors and subordinates, and then enter the middle courtyard after the front yard, which is the place where the manor deals with official affairs, and then the backyard, from here, no longer open the side door, outsiders are forbidden to enter, inside is the place of Mingxun and Ye Qinglin, this is not the end, after the backyard, there is the back garden, the peak where the earth hole in the belly of the mountain is located, it is in the back garden.

The craftsmen have long been dismissed, and now the subordinates here are Qin Shuyu and Du Jian according to Ye Qinglin's instructions, and the people who have been transferred from all over the country one after another, there are about thousands, even if there are so many subordinates, scattered into this manor, they will feel very few.

It's just that the place is too big.

Ye Qinglin hurriedly went down to the cave to find a craftsman to study the secret recipe, and was pestered by Qin Shuyu and Du Jian to name the manor, so he had to throw this matter to Mingxun, who thought about it for a while, and said leisurely: "How about the beautiful mountains and rivers in this place, how about calling Lingxiu Villa?" ”

Ye Qinglin just nodded slightly, he was not interested, it didn't matter if he called the pig shed kennel, it was none of his business.

Qin Shuyu and several stewards on the side praised again and again, sure enough, he was the master, and he could even take a name so poetic, he could still open his mouth to come, and said: "The villa has a name, what is this inn called?" ”

"Huh? Do you still need a name for the inn? Isn't the inn in the villa? "Myeonghyun was just praised lightly, and I don't want this name to be one.

"Not only that, the villa is so big, not only the inn must be named, but also the front yard, the left courtyard, the right courtyard, the middle courtyard and the back yard of every pavilion and pavilion must have a name, otherwise, find someone to find something, just say that in the manor, you will not know which direction......" Qin Shuyu explained slightly.

Oh, my God! It's a big name! There are countless pavilions and pavilions in the courtyards everywhere, and I want to break my head!

Minghyun hurriedly ran away and chased after Ye Qinglin, who had already walked to the backyard, leaving Qin Shuyu and Du Jian who were stunned and a bunch of stewards looking at each other.

The entrance to the cave, there is only one place, is the main building in the backyard, this main building is the residence of Ye Qinglin and Minghyun, no one can come in, the next person led the two of them down from a secret passage in the main building, walked through the long tunnel, and arrived at the huge hollow in full swing.

The chief of the house, surnamed Shen, is an old man over sixty years old, with a long beard hanging down his chin, he used to be a craftsman in the ordnance superintendent, he is very interested in weapons, he belongs to skilled craftsmen, many of the craftsmen here are his apprentices, and he is very happy to see the two masters coming.

"Master Shen is working hard, so quickly bring the first half of the book." Ye Qinglin smiled.

Director Shen didn't care about replying and nodded repeatedly, ran to get the first half of the book, and soon came back, giving the first half of the book to Ye Qinglin with both hands, Minghyun only watched from the sidelines, he had not studied these technical knowledge, and felt that he was a bit of a layman.

The first half of the legendary book is actually not a book from heaven, just an ordinary rice paper, with a limerick poem mentioned on it, which is not the true handwriting of the first emperor, but the hand-copied book that the emperor copied out to show off.

Ye Qinglin took out the holy decree and looked at the first half of the book, wanting to see if there would be some connection, and Chief Shen also read it very carefully, but after a long time, he was dizzy when he saw it, and he didn't find any clues.

Shen is also very helpless, sighing and sighing for so many years, he has been wandering in the "one sulfur" recorded in the first half of the book, sulfur he knows, it is something that can be ignited, so he guesses the complete secret recipe of the first half of the book and the second half of the book, the thing referred to must be a weapon that can catch fire, these years, repeatedly found a variety of objects that can help ignite to add to the "sulfur", except for emitting some sparks, there is no special effect, of course, there is no use, but so far he can only play "sulfur", even in front of the word "sulfur" written in the first half of the book. I don't know what "one" means.

After listening to Master Shen's explanation, Ye Qinglin suddenly woke up, spread out the holy decree on the ground, pointed to the sentence "the smoke of gunpowder dissipated" and asked, "Could this be the soil nitrate of Taoist alchemy?" ”

"Earth? Yeah! Most likely, this is also flammable, and it seems that this decree must be the second half of the book! "Master Shen knew that some Taoist priests often did not control the furnace fire well in alchemy, and burned down the house, but he didn't think about the earth nitrate, and he didn't dare to connect the alchemy medicine with the burning weapon, and he suddenly realized at this moment.
