Chapter 260: Impressive
The sky was dark and dark, but the rain did not stop.
Zhao Feihu and the others braved the rain to transport the saltpeter back to the hidden cave overnight, and they didn't even have time to see Luo Lingzhi, so they turned around and put themselves into the work of making black powder.
He's done this before, and he's familiar with it. Now that the materials are available, and the subordinates are all the sailors he used to carry, he is very handy when he is busy, and he made a batch of black gunpowder before dark and asked Bai Lingqing, who had been guarding it, to send it to Luo Lingzhi immediately.
"Go and give it to the boss, this black powder is not quite the same as the one used on the cannon before. I've improved the recipe to make it at least three times more powerful! I can definitely help the boss blow up the mountain! ”
Zhao Feihu's whole person was pitch black, and he didn't have a good rest for four or five days in a row, but he made black powder at this time, but the whole person was excited, and his black ash palm was clasped on Bai Lingqing's shoulder with a big grin, "Brother! I believe that Zhao Feihu, I must be ringing in Chuancheng this time, and I will definitely impress the boss......"
"Brother Zhao! You're amazing this time! ”
Bai Lingqing's clear and translucent eyes were also full of excitement, and he didn't care about Zhao Feihu's intoxicating smell that made people fly for nine days, the two hugged him and beat his back excitedly. Then he didn't dare to delay, sealed all the transformed black powder, and immediately went to find Luo Lingzhi.
"It worked!"
Luo Lingzhi didn't expect Zhao Feihu's speed to be so fast. Thinking of the isolation belt that was quickly cleared, he became even more excited, and asked Bai Lingqing to bring the gunpowder and walk directly to the valley.
On the way, he met Bai Wulan, who came to report on the dredging of the river, and Gu Huaiyi, who managed the security situation of nearly 50,000 people, but they were just going to blow up the valley that blocked the river, and their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly put the trivial matters aside and followed Luo Lingzhi to see the spectacular scene of bombing mountains and rocks.
"You don't have to keep an eye on the levee?"
Luo Lingzhi was a little strange about Bai Wulan's fun, this scene might be a little new to others, but Bai Wulan and Gu Huaiyi were not people who had never seen the world, so they didn't need to be so excited to join in.
Bai Wulan held the umbrella and still didn't forget to shake his fan, and said with a smile: "This magnificent scene of black gunpowder blowing up mountains and rocks, Wulan has never seen it, but you can't follow Luo Niangzi to see how strange it is." ”
Yu Guang glanced at Gu Huaiyi, who was silently following Luo Lingzhi with his sword in his hand.
Luo Lingzhi raised his eyes and looked at Bai Wulan suspiciously, "I don't think you're a curious person, why do you want to come here today, don't you have any other ideas?" ”
Bai Wulan's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to smile: "I'm in charge of the affairs of the river, this valley that has exploded the roadblock, of course I have to come and see it with my own eyes." It's Lord Gu—"
Bai Wulan looked at Gu Huaiyi and chuckled, "This should be the busiest at this time!" Yesterday, Luoshui suddenly overflowed over the embankment, and everyone desperately stopped the flood, although the flood was stopped in the end, but many people were swept into the lake by the flood, and nearly 1,000 people were injured in the flood last night...... These don't have to be appeased by Gu adults, and the follow-up pension issues will be dealt with as soon as possible after the situation is clearly understood. ”
"Yes, Gu Huaiyi, don't you have to be busy?"
In fact, Luo Lingzhi hadn't spoken to Gu Huaiyi so close for several days, she was so busy that she hardly had time to stop and rest, but Gu Huaiyi was busier than her, and she often nodded and said hello.
Even the situation of nearly 50,000 people was told by him that Gu Mi came over.
Gu Huaiyi's lips pursed slightly, his face seemed to be even colder, and he replied after a long time: "I'm not busy today." ”
It's no wonder if you're not busy!
Knowing that Luo Lingzhi was going to take Bai Lingqing and the others to blow up the valley, he was worried that he would not be able to deal with a bunch of chores at all, and he had to watch it with his own eyes to feel a little more at ease.
"Really?"
Although Luo Lingzhi was a little strange, the matter of bombing the valley was close at hand, and he didn't have time to think about what kind of dumb riddle these two people were playing. In short, take care of the matter in front of you first.
"It's here, it's the mountain in front of you!"
Luo Lingzhi looked at the hundreds of zhang high peaks at the end of the winding river, staring slightly.
Bai Wulan showed the usefulness of his follow-up at this moment, pointing to the mountain peak and said to Luo Lingzhi, "I have measured it according to the sun shadow before, and this mountain is fully six hundred and fifty-nine zhang high. As far as we can see, the front of this peak is eighty-three zhang...... There are two rivers blocked by mountain peaks from the front and left side. If you don't want to take a detour, you need to dig through two mountain roads. ”
"There is no confluence between the two rivers?"
Luo Lingzhi asked again.
Bai Wulan put away his fan and shook his head, "If the current river trend is followed, there will be no intersection between the two rivers. It's just that I don't know if there will be an accident when I dig through the mountain. ”
She can't guarantee that.
Luo Lingzhi looked at the mountain peak and thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Quick!" Go find Xie Yi. ”
"Yes, it's not a ready-made water master."
Bai Wulan has been in charge of dredging the river, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "Xie Yi has followed him to the southeast waterway, and he can go back and forth within a stick of incense." ”
"I'll bring Gongzi Xie over."
Gu Huaiyi thought that he didn't seem to be able to help anything, so he took the initiative to pick up Xie Yi. He came on horseback, and it was easy to get back and forth.
Luo Lingzhi smiled at him, "Then it's hard to take care of Lord Gu!" ”
When he was particularly polite or deliberately ridiculed Gu Huaiyi, Luo Lingzhi would call him Master Gu.
Gu Huaiyi immediately blushed.
"I'll go first."
With red ears, Gu Huaiyi rode into the dust.
Bai Wulan looked at Gu Huaiyi's distant back and narrowed his eyes. Xindao didn't know when his family would wake up, and he was on guard against the future princess being pried away, and he was so worried that he scratched off a few green silks.
There was still a stick of incense left and right, Luo Lingzhi took Bai Lingqing and others to inspect several other rivers, and it was still drizzling, but fortunately, Cui Taishou sent someone to send the rain gear prepared by the shopkeeper who sold rain gear in the city long ago. Although it is not as delicate and beautiful as an umbrella, it does not hinder the hands and feet to do the work on the body, so as not to delay the work of dredging the river.
"Chief Xun is taking precautions."
Luo Lingzhi felt more and more that Xun Mao only followed Cui Taishou to stay in such a small place as Sichuan City, which was really a bit overkill, and such a meticulous and thoughtful appearance was not inferior to Bai Wulan at all.
Bai Wulan thought of the text that Chief Xun had single-handedly promoted, and narrowed his eyes, "Chief Xun is not just taking precautions, he is indeed a capable person. "Only before the situation is completely clear, the Cui family will be invisibly tied to the big boat in Huainan.
