When Ying Jingyu left the 'Chaoyang Palace' and returned to the dormitory, it was already in the afternoon.

More than 2,000 years ago, the weather at the end of September was already in early autumn. However, on sunny days, the days are still a little hot

Jingyu walked all the way, and he actually sweated a little.

Since the night of the assassination of Dongjian, Ying Jingyu has been running around for state affairs every day, and he has not dared to relax for a moment.

It wasn't until I returned to the door of the dormitory at this moment that I breathed a sigh of relief, and things were finally on track one by one according to my plan. Guanzhong internal affairs, military affairs, famous generals, new weapons, Mo family, the way of science...

In the next few days, we will wait for news of the progress of policies and new weapons

Ying Jingyu stood in front of the palace gate and closed his eyes in contemplation, muttering to himself: "Stone sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal..."

"Someone."

I saw a silver-armored blue-robed leader walk out of the four palace guards guarding in front of the 'Changle Palace', and knelt on one knee before and after

"The end will be! What does Childe command? ”

"Immediately go find someone who understands all kinds of ore materials, and prepare some black charcoal ash."

"Oh, Childe! Subordinates will do it! ”

After saying that, the leader of the blue-robed palace guard went down, and the thing he ordered was not too difficult, just to find someone who knew all kinds of stones and get some charcoal ash

And Ying Jingyu has nothing to do, and he can't leave Xianyang City, because he has to wait for the test of new sample weapons

After standing in front of the palace gate for a while, he actually began to do basic military training that he hadn't done for a few days, and he saw that the palace guards nearby were dumbfounded

I was going to do a hundred standard push-ups first, but I was able to do it a few days ago when I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion

But if you neglect to exercise in the past few days, your body will decline significantly. When I did almost 80 push-ups, I couldn't hold on anymore and crawled on the ground for a while

Jing Yu stood up, quite dissatisfied, this body was still too weak. If the foundation is not solid, I am afraid that it will be far from being able to exert the ability of the soldier king in the previous life

You must know that the physical talent of the original owner of Ying Jingyu is better than the physical quality of the special forces who have been hung up in the future

The body declined in a few days, and Ying Jingyu was not discouraged. He began to run around the large bluestone square in front of the palace gate again

After running for a while, I felt that this space was still too small, and I moved to the streets of the palace, and began to run around the square Xianyang Palace with the pace of a future soldier

Running and exercising throughout the Xianyang Palace, it seems that no one has ever done this. It didn't matter if he didn't run, but it scared the palace guards and palace maids and eunuchs holding spears on Yan Street

At first sight, I thought it was a thief who turned into the palace and wanted to assassinate him, but when he saw the other party's leisurely and uncaring look, he stepped forward and saw that it was Gongzi Yu, the Great Qin Taiwei

Suddenly shocked in his heart, he hurriedly returned to his original position, with a solemn face, as if he hadn't seen Gongziyu

The palace guards smiled, this prince of Da Qin is ranked as a captain, the first person in the dark side of Da Qin, he actually disregarded his identity so much and extended the palace to run and train? I'm afraid it will be a good story in the future

After running around the Xianyang Palace for a circle and a half, I sighed that this Xianyang Palace is really big, and I am afraid that the Forbidden City will not be as big as this half in the future

Xianyang Palace is not a lot of houses, but it seems big. But everything is big, the palace is big, the palace gate is big, the palace wall is tall, the palace road is wide, the square is big, and there are many gardens and pavilions...

Covering a wide area, so it is very empty, Ying Jingyu sighed that in the pre-Qin era more than 2,000 years ago, he was able to exert human resources to such an extreme

Jing Yu shook his head, took off his robe, leaked out a white smooth silk underwear, and walked back to the square in front of the dormitory

At this time, I saw three people standing in the square in front of the palace gate, one of them hung a long sword at his waist, dressed in silver armor and blue robes, and held a yellow clay pot in both hands, presumably black charcoal gray or something

This person is the head of the palace guard who just ordered to go down to find the person who understands the stone

After Jing Yu approached, the three of them knelt on the ground and said, "My subordinates meet the captain!" ”

Jing Yu nodded: "Get up, you two are people who understand all kinds of stone mines?" ”

I saw one of them, a slightly older man, dressed in a gray linen robe, who seemed to be in his 50s, arched his hand and said: "Yes, son, my name is Liu Wenmao, and I have followed my father to mine in various mountains since I was a child. The subordinates also like this, and still make a living from quarrying, and come to Xianyang to sell the goods. ”

Another middle-aged man who was slightly younger and looked to be in his 40s also hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates meet Gongzi, my surname is Wang Mingnian." The subordinate duty is to search for all kinds of fine ores for the officials. Although he rarely goes to the mountain to quarry in person, he still has some understanding of various ore properties. ”

Ying Jingyu nodded and asked tentatively, "Well, it's good." How many ores do I need, do you know? ”

"Please make it clear!"

"The things I need are saltpeter and brimstone, I don't know if you can recognize them?"

Liu Wenmao and the others frowned and pondered for a while after hearing this, and after a while, the two said: "The sulfur stone is yellow, and its smell is pungent and unpleasant. This stone sulfur is mainly used in the production of gold, silver, copper, iron when added, commonly known as strange stones. ”

"What about saltpeter?"

"Childe, saltpeter is unheard of, please can you describe the color and form of this stone, maybe this stone can be found in the memory of the two of us in the past."

Ying Jingyu nodded and recalled: "Saltpeter things are generally colorless, white or gray crystalline, and shiny. It can be used for the production of some pigments, and the powder form is easily soluble in water. The smell is a little bitter and cold, but it is not harmful to the human body..."

After hearing this, Liu Wenmao and Wang Nian took a breath of cold air and fell into deep thought

Liu Wenmao, who still goes up the mountain to collect all kinds of ores all the year round, is more experienced, and is the first to speak: "The appearance and color of the things that Gongzi said, in Maozhi's impression, there are a few things that match. But there is really only one similarity in the pigment, I wonder if this is what Childe is talking about? ”

Ying Jingyu was happy in his heart, since the ore experts have said so, it must be almost the same: "Yes, you two quickly bring some saltpeter and stone sulfur." ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Jing Yu looked at Liu Wenmao and the others, who had gone down to get saltpeter, and turned to look at the palace guard, who was holding a yellow clay pot in both hands

The leader of the blue-robed palace guard hurriedly hugged the jar and bowed down and said, "Childe, my subordinates have brought the charcoal ash that Childe needs, please check it." ”

Ying Jingyu took the clay pot and looked inside, almost half of the jar of black charcoal ash. It seems that the head of this palace guard is quite thoughtful

"What's your name? How long has it been in the Qin camp? ”

When the palace guard saw that Gongzi Yu actually asked about his life experience, he was flattered and knelt down on one knee and said: "The subordinate is surnamed Sima and Mingzhou." Just over 23 years old, since the age of 15, the first emperor entered the Qin camp, because he did not make military achievements, so he has been in the camp but the chief. A few days ago, he was transferred to the palace by the commander of the thousand years to serve as the palace guard. ”

"Oh... Sima Zhou... Is it Sima Cuo's descendant? ”

"Yes, Gongzi, Sima Cuo is my ancestor, and every generation of men in my Sima family will join the army to fight for the country, but... It's just that the descendants of the Sima family are not good, and it is difficult to show the glory of the ancestor Sima Cuo. ”

Ying Jingyu nodded: "Yes, descendants of heroes, follow me in the future." If you have talent, you will not be buried. ”

"Oh, Childe!"

After Sima Zhou went down, Ying Jingyu put down the clay pot in his hand, and there was an indescribable sense of excitement in his heart

Let 'gunpowder' appear in the pre-Qin era more than 1,000 years in advance, and then vigorously develop its application

I don't know what it will turn out of... Hey, hey, gunpowder isn't just for the military, if used properly, it can have endless benefits...

Ying Jingyu collected her excitement, glanced at the relatively large sun overhead, and thought that the two of them would not come over so soon

He took out the short sword at his waist and began to wield it in this large square

Since the last time this 'fish intestine sword' drank blood, when viewed in the sun, it seemed to be brighter than ever, and the lines on the sword's body seemed to come to life

Ying Jingyu is also very curious, can it be said that the 'Fish Intestine Sword' can still evolve after drinking blood?

Holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand, he swung a sword violently, as if there was a dragon's groan, and the crisp sound spread throughout the ten meters

Jing Yu sighed, looking at its luster and sound, this 'fish intestine sword' is indeed a little different, the more you use it, the better it is!

Ying Jingyu danced the sword for more than half an hour with the continuous movement of his body, and then stopped, his face was covered with sweat and his mouth was dry

At this time, Yueximeng didn't know where to go, and no one came to deliver water.

I can't practice anymore, and if I sweat again, I'm afraid I'm going to get dehydrated and suffer from heat stroke.

walked to the palace gate and asked Sima Zhou to bring some water, then walked into the palace to rest for a while, and waited for Liu Wenmao and the others to come with saltpeter and other things......
