Chapter 193: Confrontation at the City Gate
Zhang Zhongjian had the same attitude as Cheng Yanjin, both of whom wanted to persuade Lu Heng not to take risks at this time.
After all, the risk is not proportional to the benefit.
If you want to kill those gangs in the suburbs of Beijing, you can wait until you get married, as long as Lu Heng becomes a legitimate concubine, Li Shimin will naturally give him an official position.
At that time, with the people and power at hand, it will be much easier to send someone to do it than to go deep alone!
But Lu Heng still shook his head.
He stared at Zhang Zhongjian, his eyes were cold and hard:
"Gang Master Zhang, I appreciate your kindness."
"But there are some key points in this matter that I can't disclose, and that's what made me decide to do it right away."
"If you don't get rid of them quickly......"
"More people will die besides me."
Since he knew that the five surnames and seven hopes were the real culprits who harmed Li Chengqian, Lu Heng's attitude towards them had fundamentally changed.
Originally, he just thought that this group of people had nothing to do, as long as he occasionally got some newspapers, made cheap books, and forbade intermarriage between them, these were enough for the family to drink a pot.
But now, they sent someone to burn down the bookstore, and they didn't hesitate to give up Xiao Yu as a chess piece to kill Lu Heng and Li Chengqian, and even secretly planned Li Chengqian's broken leg a few years ago.
If he doesn't strike first, Lu Heng is worried that after he and Li Mingyu get married, the family will hit his daughter-in-law with the idea!
Zhang Zhongjian looked at Lu Heng's extremely ugly face, and only after a while did he sigh deeply.
"The old man can't say anything about you."
"After all, there is always a passion and spirit when you are a teenager."
"Manpower can be given to you, weapons can also be given to you, and the old man can even send someone to help you guard the main road on the stockade to prevent accidents."
"But you have to give the old man an account—"
"Lu Heng, how are you going to make a move?"
If you want to say why Zhang Zhongjian is so good to Lu Heng, the reason is actually very easy to understand.
First, Lu Heng cured Zhang Hongfu's old disease.
Second, it is because Lu Heng knows how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, and how amazing the yield is.
Zhang Zhongjian experienced the turbulent times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, even if his family was wealthy, he also saw the tragic situation of many families changing their children and eating.
He has been adrift overseas for many years, but he has never forgotten that he is a Han.
To be able to feed the people living on this land, he, the person who brought back the seeds, has a share of credit, but Lu Heng, who discovered and planted it, has a greater credit than him!
Zhang Zhongjian hopes that this young man can live a long life.
Looking at the other party's gaze, Lu Heng did not hesitate for a moment and spoke directly.
"Do you know any alchemists?"
"I'd like to ask them for some sulfur and saltpeter, the ready-made kind."
………………
Half an hour later.
Lu Heng looked at the old man in front of him, extremely speechless.
He turned his head to look at Zhang Zhongjian.
"This is the alchemy alchemist you found?"
"Old Man Sun?!"
Zhang Zhongjian's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
"Why, don't you know that Doctor Sun is also a famous figure in the Daomen?"
Sun Simiao nodded while touching his beard beside him:
"That's it!"
"When the old man was refining the pill, your father and mother didn't know where it was!"
Lu Heng fell into contemplation of life.
With his shallow knowledge of history, he had only heard that Sun Simiao was the king of medicine, and his medical skills were very good.
But now it seems that Old Man Sun is still a full-level alchemist?!
Wait a minute.
Lu Heng's mind flashed through what he had mentioned in his previous middle school days, when his history teacher had mentioned it in passing.
Ye Shi said that the ancestor who invented firecrackers was taught by Sun Simiao, the king of medicine.
In other words, even if he doesn't appear now, it won't be long before Old Man Sun comes up with the most primitive black powder.
it!
Is it such a coincidence?!
Lu Heng shook his head hard and threw these messes out of his mind.
He looked at Sun Simiao and asked sincerely:
"Old man Sun, do you have any ready-made sulfur and saltpeter on hand now? I'm in a hurry! ”
Sun Simiao touched his sleeve without surprise and took out two bags of items wrapped in cloth from inside.
He handed it to Lu Heng and said:
"I said it when Gang Leader Zhang sent someone to look for me in the medical hall before, and the old man naturally took it with him."
"However, you don't refine the pill, what do you want these two raw materials to do?"
Lu Heng did not answer immediately.
He opened the package, looked at it, rubbed it, and then put it in front of his nose and sniffed it for a moment.
Looks like I just put it in my mouth and tasted it.
After confirming that the purity was not bad and that there were not many impurities, he smiled with satisfaction.
"Old Man Sun, you have really helped a lot!"
Lu Heng raised the sulfur and saltpeter in his hand, and said happily:
"I'm going to attack the stockade of a gang of bandits and bandits on the outskirts of Beijing today, this thing is mixed with charcoal, and it can make a loud noise!"
Sun Simiao was a little stunned.
He hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhang Zhongjian next to him, and asked with his eyes-
This kid can't be crazy, right?
Zhang Zhongjian shook his head-
Old man, I don't know if he's crazy or not, hasn't he always been like this?
Immediately, the two nodded in tacit agreement.
Lu Heng, this guy, they won't feel too surprised when he does anything.
"Hurry up, find me some charcoal and sugar, and get me another scale!"
got what he wanted, Lu Heng immediately took action and greeted Zhang Zhongjian:
"Gang Master Zhang, you can also help, find a few clay pots, and then take a piece of hemp rope and soak it in fire oil for half an hour!"
Zhang Zhongjian has been the boss for many years, and basically has not done any work by himself.
At first glance, he didn't even react to the order.
But the gray-haired Sun Simiao has already taken the lead in action!
Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Zhongjian immediately stopped:
"Hey, Old Immortal Sun, what's the matter with you laying hands on him, I'll come, I'll come!"
But he didn't expect that Sun Simiao pushed him aside without appreciation, and his face was full of reluctance.
"You know what, this kid is making such a big move, there must be something new to come out. Last time, he rescued the dead, and he is not in a hurry now! ”
"Let's get up, don't get in the way of the old man's observation!"
Zhang Zhongjian grabbed the work, but he didn't rob Sun Simiao.
It's fucking outrageous!
He could only watch the old man go to the kitchen to find charcoal and the yard to find clay pots, and he didn't let him do any work.
It didn't take long.
The things were ready, Lu Heng looked at the few objects on the ground in front of him and clapped his hands.
"Let's go!"
Lu Heng first picked up a clay pot and put it in front of him, and then picked up the scale.
He placed sulfur saltpeter and charcoal on the scales in turn, as if to calculate the proportions, and muttered to himself.
"One sulfur, two nitrate, three charcoal, add a little sugar...... Big Ivan! ”
