His deceased parents often appeared in his dreams, and tonight, he dreamed of them again.

In the dream, his father and mother touched his head and looked at him with a smile and told him: "Be happy, be comfortable." ”

"Father, mother, my son is very comfortable and happy!" he would say to his parents every time in his dreams, and tonight was no exception.

The sound of a rooster woke him up, and his pillow was a little damp.

He lit the lamp in the house, opened the essence of the sage's thought "Han Feizi" and read it, during this time he was busy dealing with the White Tiger Gang and other things, and he hadn't read for nearly half a month. So when I looked at it, I saw that the sky was bright. was still interrupted by Qin Tieniu's knock on the door: "Lotte, someone is looking for you." ”

Chen Letian came to the hall, saw that it was the guards of the General's Mansion, and asked, "Is the second master looking for me?"

The guard arched his hand and said: "Hello Gongzi Chen, my second master sent me to find you to come over the house and discuss something." ”

"Okay, let's go now. Chen Letian nodded. I thought to myself, I don't know what's going on, this is about to take the exam, I hope there won't be any more trouble, even if there is something, I have to wait for the exam.

Half an hour later, Chen Letian came to the General's Mansion.

Seeing Li Tong, the two arched their hands to each other. Because they worked together to deal with the affairs of Guo Yongchun and the White Tiger Gang, they are familiar with each other, and they appreciate each other's actions and thoughts.

Therefore, Li Tong was not polite, waved away the servants beside him, and the idle expression on his face was gone, and said, "Lotte, please come with me"

Chen Letian suddenly remembered what the general said to him before leaving: "Lotte, when you go back, help me do something, what is it, you can go to my house to see." The general's expression was very cautious when he said it at that time, but it was only cautious, and he did not show concern. This made Chen Letian very curious, what was it that made the general and Li Tong so cautious.

Chen Letian stopped thinking and followed Li Tong to the backyard. The vegetables in the backyard of a few acres of vegetable garden grow very well, next to the firewood room, there is a room that has obviously been dusty for a long time from the outside, the lock on the door has been rusty, Li Tong looked back at Chen Letian, and said with some hesitation: "Lotte, this matter is very important, I still have to remind you that it must not be passed on." ”

Although Chen Letian was confused, he still nodded solemnly and said: "Brother Li, rest assured, Chen's future was given by the general, without the general, Chen would have died on the frontier long ago, and he would not be able to stand here today." ”

Li Tong didn't say more, opened the lock, and slowly pushed the door open.

The house was covered with dust and cobwebs, and in the middle of the room was a two-foot-high iron box. The joints of the iron box were wrapped in several layers of oiled paper. Li Tong carefully tore it layer by layer and lifted the heavy lid.

"Look. ”

"What is this?"

"A sharp weapon that can kill people five miles away. ”

"Oh, is there such an artifact in this world?"

"I got it on an island when I went out to sea, and if you don't believe it, you'll know it when you try it. ”

A steel creature shaped like a burning stick appeared in front of the two of them, and although it was shaped like a burning stick, if you looked closely, it was extremely fine, and it was covered with fine textures. Next to it, there are about hundreds of iron pellets shaped like fingers, with one flat end and the other pointed end.

Chen Letian was seeing it for the first time, but he had a strange feeling of déjà vu.

Li Tong carefully took out this object with both hands, wrapped it in several layers of cloth, and then put it into a piano case, and said, "Lotte, come with me." ”

Under the escort of Liang Tiandao, the two took the carriage to the suburb of the trial knife mountain. The reason why the trial knife mountain has this name is because its shape is like being split in half by a celestial man. Although the summits of the two mountains are separated by several miles, they are far from each other, and if Hercules comes, they will become one.

Liang Tiandao guarded from afar, very cautious.

Li Tong took Chen Letian to carry the steel guy on his back, made a mark on a rock on the top of the mountain in the east, and then came to the top of the mountain in the west, put the steel guy on the ground, lay down, and after some tinkering, he buckled the mechanism like a strong crossbow, only to hear a firecracker. Li Daodao: "You go over and have a look"

Over there, the marked rocks, about five miles away, had exploded into countless rubble.

It was already dusk when the three of them returned to the General's Mansion.

Only Chen Letian and Li Tong were at the dinner table, Li Tong personally poured Chen Letian a glass of wine and said, "But there are still doubts?"

Chen Letian said: "This thing is really an artifact. ”

Li Tong was very surprised, thinking that when the general first saw the power of this thing, it was like a mad demon, and it took a long time to calm down. But today, Chen Letian was not surprised, could it be that there was a second such artifact in the world? Looking back, Li Tong clearly remembered that the master who gave him this thing at the beginning said: "There is only one handle in the world for this thing, and in addition, there are 365 murderous iron bullets." The master had no reason to brag about this cowhide, Li Tong hesitated, but still asked, "Lotte doesn't seem to think so?"

"Brother Li, the name of this thing is a gun. When Chen Letian saw the shattered rock, he understood why he felt familiar. In the letters from those unknown places, it was recorded that in that world, the war was not a face-to-face sword and spear, but a confrontation began from a distance. The weapons are the steel guys in their respective hands. The soldiers of the two sides, holding the guns in their hands that can shoot murderous iron bullets, shoot at each other from afar.

Li Tong was shocked and said, "How do you know?"

At this time, Liang Tiandao stood in the courtyard intentionally or unintentionally and glanced towards the hall.

Chen Letian saw the murderous intent flashing in Li Tong's eyes, and said calmly: "Brother Li should believe me." ”

Li Tong remembered the general's explanation to him in the letter, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was too worried. ”

Chen Lotian can understand. If such an artifact is known to others, then the political enemies of the great generals in the imperial court will have a big deal to do, why is this the world's number one artifact not handed over to the emperor? Why is it hidden in the palace privately? Is it to seek an opportunity to assassinate the emperor and usurp the throne and seize the country? Any one of the crimes is not borne by the great general Li Rongsheng, even if the emperor intends to let it go, the courtiers will still inevitably carry out the capital crime of the great Song Dynasty in front of the eyes. He toasted Li Tong with a glass of wine and said, "Such a big thing should be overwhelmed." ”

The two were silent for a moment, and Li Daodao: "In your opinion, what should be done with that artifact?"

Chen Letian said: "It is strictly sealed and must not be leaked, and it must not be used until it is absolutely necessary! Once this thing falls into the hands of others, the consequences will be unimaginable." If Chengping is today, whether I have this thing in the Great Song Dynasty or not, it is also the first in the world. Whether the general has such a thing or not, it is still a terrifying general...... If I really have a big song... On the day when there was really weakness, this artifact alone could not save the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Li Tong smiled and said: "One handle is not enough, if you can have 10,000 handles, and enough killing iron pills, it will be more than enough for my Great Song Dynasty to unify the world." ”

Chen Letian stood up, shook his head and said: "Brother Li's words are wrong, even if my Great Song Dynasty can really rely on this thing to win the world, I can't rely on this thing to rule the world, and expand the territory and extend the country, it should rely on the Tao, not the technique, let alone the instrument?"
