A large area on the periphery is used to place those siege equipment with less high-tech content and various warehouses and departments, and a little bit inside is the production line and assembly workshop of various critical parts of the equipment, which occupies nearly one-third of the space of the Martial Arts Research Institute, but the inside is larger, and the innermost here is the latest high-tech R&D center of Datang, which is separated from the ordinary departments of the Academy by a high wall of more than two zhang. And there are a large number of them, as far as Uncle Li personally proposed to send the forbidden army to guard it, it is not an exaggeration to call it three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.

On top of the high wall, which is more than six feet wide, there are still some soldiers patrolling, and everyone who wants to enter and exit the inner hall of the Martial Arts Academy must have a pass issued by me. The gunpowder warehouse was specially built in the middle of an open space, surrounded by guarded soldiers, but it was only a building on the ground, and there was nothing stored in it, and the gunpowder was stored underground.

However, I didn't have the interest or the spirit to look at that thing, who knows if someone would be in there and miss the torch or something, and with the spirit of safety first and inspection second, I don't have to go to the powder magazine. Just glanced at the ground building, asked Zhong Hua beside him, and regarded it as completing the inspection of the gunpowder magazine, anyway, we are the leaders of the highest level, and I am not the only one who has the final say?

"Right now, how much gunpowder is in stock? At the end of this year, or the beginning of next year, Your Majesty will definitely launch a national war against Goguryeo, and we can't delay it here, but we must also let the craftsmen pay attention to safety," I followed Zhong Hua as I wandered around the open space of the gunpowder field, while admonishing Zhong Hua.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, we have stored as much as 10,000 catties of gunpowder, 20,000 grenades, and about 4,000 rounds of large flowering shells and solid shells that you ordered to be made, in addition, the craftsman's workshop has already produced the cannon body and gun carriage of the mortar you mentioned, but it is still in the process of projectile test, I am afraid that it will be more than a month, and it may be successful. Don't say that it is a subordinate official, even those old craftsmen who have been doing iron and carpenter work for decades are ashamed of themselves......" Zhong Hua's face was full of admiration.

"Oh, she's here now, too?" After I heard Zhong Hua's words, I couldn't help but turn over the slender figure of Liushuang who always had a cold face towards me, or it was the slender figure of Liushuang, who was full of evil words.

----------------------------------------------------She was in the powder shop, saying that she was trying to find a way to make the gunpowder burn more fully. Zhong Hua nodded, pointed to a bungalow over there that looked extremely spacious in appearance.

"What?!" My eyebrows are raised, is the frost crazy? The powder shop is not a place for anyone to stay, there have been several explosions there, several people have died, and the number of injured has risen in the double digits. This is clearly written in the loss statement handed over to me by Zhong Hua.

Zhong Hua was taken aback by my sudden anger, and said cautiously: "It's no wonder that the lower officials have dissuaded the Flowing Frost girl many times, but she still goes her own way, plus her skills, my lord, where are you going?" ”

"Where else can I go?! I want to see what she can do! "I was very angry in my heart, is this girl crazy, this dangerous place is also drilled inside, fortunately, when I stood outside the door of the workshop, I looked at the closed door, finally calmed down, and squinted the corner of my eyes, Zhong Hua was next to me. Seeing my expression, Zhong Hua didn't know what to do, and after knocking on the door a few times, the door was opened from the inside out. I looked and saw that there were quite a few people inside, and I was afraid that there were no less than a dozen craftsmen, who were surrounding a thin figure dressed as a Taoist priest wrapped in a green robe, watching her every move.

After hearing the footsteps behind me, most of the craftsmen looked over, and saw that it was me and Zhong Hua who came to us in a hurry, and hurriedly saluted us.

Liushuang didn't pay attention to the abnormality around her, and still concentrated on an iron felt covered with a soft cloth, picked up a small iron gas and carefully smashed the medicine cakes that had been thoroughly dried, and then put them into a large wooden barrel in front of her, Bai Xi's pretty face already had a few black marks, thinking that it was left when she wiped her sweat, and the wooden barrel had been piled up with about half a barrel of broken gunpowder particles, most of the particles were the size of rice grains, and other large or fine pieces were all thrown into the bucket by her.

After observing for a long time, Liushuang still repeated this boring and unfulfilled action, and with her rhythmic chimney, I almost wanted to close my eyes and doze off. "Drift Frost, what are you doing here?!" I raised my hand and yawned in disguise, and finally couldn't help but whisper in Frost's ear.

"Oops! ......" After Liushuang heard the voice, she subconsciously turned her head, but saw my angular familiar face smiling at her, I don't know why, Liushuang was stunned, but the small iron in her hand was still habitually knocked down, so Liushuang screamed in pain and jumped up, her shoulder hit my nose, I felt a sour nose, and then an uncomfortable force spread on my face.

"Fang Gongzi, what are you doing, it hurts to death! It hurts to death. Frost kept inhaling and slamming the finger that had been knocked by mistake, tears glistening in her eyes, and she kept screaming as if she wanted to vent. Her eyes glared at me with hatred, and if it weren't for the crowd of people, she would probably have pounced on her like a wild injured lioness, right?

"I'll show you, I didn't expect it to scare you just now." I stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and carefully looked at which finger had been hit by the hammer. "Let go!" Flowing Frost's face suddenly turned red, and he whispered in anger.

I replied to her without raising my head: "Don't move, let me see where the injury is first?" "Her slender hands are as soft as bones, warm as jade, very beautiful fingers, just like those finger advertising models seen on TV in later generations, and there seems to be no calluses on the palms of the fingers, very smooth, which makes me a little curious, I really don't know how her hands that often use tools can maintain this softness, the nails of the fingertips are as white as jade, I never thought that I would hold the frosty slender hand in the palm of my hand like today, the second joint on her index finger has been red and swollen, It seems that the smash just now was not light. "If any of you have ointment, if you don't, go somewhere."

"Yes, the old decay is here, you can use it, my lord." An old craftsman on the side took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to me, I was holding Liushuang's injured hand with one hand, and took the medicine bottle with the other hand, Liushuang's face became redder and redder, but her strength was like a child competing with an adult, Liushuang had to give up the intention of withdrawing the injured hand, and lowered her voice to me: "I'll do it myself." ”

----------------------------------------------------, "No, I hurt you, or I'll give you medicine, lest you call me a bad son when you get it." I looked up and grinned at the Frost. Liushuang was slightly stunned, as if she remembered the past troubles, the flush on her pretty face was even worse, her eyes swept me with resentment, she turned her head away, left a side face for me, and put on a little daughter-in-law's face.

The old craftsman's ointment is good, and after applying it, the eyebrows that were originally twisted up by the flowing cream are finally stretched. "You don't need to paint that much." Liushuang took the initiative to talk to me this time, and her tone was not as blunt as before, which made me breathe a sigh of relief, as long as this little aunt didn't hold grudges.

"It's okay, apply more, maybe it will get better faster." As I spoke, I carefully applied the cool ointment to her fingers, and since there were no cotton swabs, I had to use my index finger as a cotton swab. Between the fingers and skin, the flowing cream didn't seem to be very suitable for this kind of contact, biting his lip, hanging down and not talking much.

Taking advantage of this seemingly mild attitude, I couldn't help but scold: "What were you doing just now, why do you have to do such a dangerous thing as breaking the medicine cake, what if something happens, what should I do?" "My evidence seems to be very resentful.

"Huh? What did you say?! Liushuang stared at me widen, and half opened her warm red lips in surprise, looking frightened, and her voice instantly raised several degrees.

Zhong Hua on the side also stared at me inexplicably, what are you doing, did I say something wrong? A few old craftsmen on the side also looked strange, and when I saw this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little angry......
