The atmosphere in the venue became a little awkward for a while, but fortunately, Li Zongsheng got up and accompanied him for a glass, while Lin Yan continued to replace wine with tea, and Xue Nishang didn't even take a sip this time.

She doesn't like to communicate with outsiders, but she has known Li Zongsheng for many years, so she came to the appointment, and as for others, she doesn't give much face.

And Lin Yan still took advantage of her young age, after all, in her eyes, Lin Yan was like her younger brother, and she looked a little cute, which naturally made her feel close.

But Xu Dahai! Let's not mention his body shape first, just say that this bright match that is at the forefront of the trend, Xue Nishang feels that looking at him more is more torture!

It's really here to celebrate Li Zongsheng this time, and if it were to be placed in normal times, she would have to stay away a long time ago.

After all, this kind of "fashionista" who is the first to ride in the fashion circle, Xue Nishang doesn't want to stay with him at all.

Xu Dahai still didn't know, looked at the three of them and said: "If you want to say that this Chang'an is really small, I didn't expect to meet you here." By the way, what's the point of saying about today's meal, it won't bother you, right? Haha......"

Xue Nishang glanced at him obliquely, which meant to say: It's just disturbing us!

And Lin Yan on the side also replied casually: "We are here to celebrate......"

"Come to dinner, dinner!" Before Lin Yan finished speaking, Li Zongsheng hurriedly said, "It's nothing special, it's just a simple meal."

Lin Yan was a little puzzled at first, but after a little thought, he understood the reason here.

Although Li Zongsheng's achievements this time are good, it is okay to talk about it in front of friends. But with the sudden arrival of Xu Dahai, it's not appropriate to talk about this again, and don't look at this benevolent brother's means not very well, but his results are better than Li Zongsheng's, if he prefaces this, he always feels a little embarrassed.

"Oh~ Hehe, then I'll be cheeky and disturbed, please don't mind!" Xu Dahai said with a smile.

"Hey~ What did Brother Xu say! It's too late for me to be happy that you can come, how can you bother? Li Zongsheng raised the wine glass in his hand as he spoke, and said, "Brother Xu, come, do it!"

"it!" Xu Dahai also picked up the wine glass and drank with Li Zongsheng.

At first, the two were just playing on the spot, but as they pushed the cups and changed the lamps, they seemed to have met a confidant, opened their hearts, and the more they chatted, the happier they became, and they were stunned by Lin Yan and Xue Nishang on the side.

The heart said, "Is this okay?"

is the so-called "a thousand cups of wine for a confidant", but in these two people, it is obvious that they can't use a thousand glasses, and when a pot of wine is in their stomachs, they are already drunk, hooking their shoulders and backs, and talking inarticulately.

Li Zongsheng blushed, and said to Xu Dahai with a big tongue: "Brother Xu, I'm so happy that you can come, brother, you wait for a while, I'll go to settle the bill."

Xu Dahai was already staggering and unsteady, and when he heard this, he became anxious and shouted: "How can this work? Since my brother and I are here, how can there be any reason to let you spend money, brother, I must come to this meal! ”

"Let me come!"

"No, I'm coming!"

……

Both of them were drunk like this and were still arguing, seeing Lin Yan and Xue Nishang stunned for a moment, they said in their hearts: Sure enough, they are "people in the same way"!

But in the end, Li Zongsheng didn't fight Xu Dahai, after all, that person's body shape was there, even if there was another Li Zongsheng, he couldn't compete with him!

And the shopkeeper of Yingchun Building was also very sorry for what happened before, and exempted them from half of the food money. Xu Dahai was still not happy about this, and shouted: "Young master, I haven't saved money since I went out, who do you look down on?" Yes! ”

The shopkeeper was also a little speechless, but he also knew the identity and style of this product, so he shouldn't hear it and didn't care about him.

After that, the shopkeeper sent a few guys from the restaurant to send Xu Dahai home. Originally, I was going to help him go back, but looking at the shape of this thing, and he was drunk, it was even heavier, how could these guys help him.

In the end, a clever guy came up with a way to put Xu Dahai directly on the table, and then the guys carried it back to Lord Shangshu's mansion with the table.

As for why you don't just hire a sedan chair, of course, it's because it costs money!

Yingchun Building is also open for business, and there is no reason not to make money and post money.

And Lord Xu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saw that this kid was drunk, and he swaggered through the city along the way to let people carry him back, and he was directly angry.

It's one thing to be drunk, but what's more important is that this bastard is wearing such a suit today, and the two are superimposed, and his face is embarrassed today.

Master Shangshu thought that he was also a well-behaved person, and his wife was also born with a beautiful appearance, I really don't know who this bastard boy is, even if he is fat, he has to dress so fancy.

If you want to say that he is also obedient, if you ask him to change his clothes, he will change, but every time he changes, it gets worse and worse, only the "avant-garde" style has not changed, isn't it the same whether he changes it or not!

Thinking of this, Lord Shangshu's hand holding the stick couldn't help but tighten again, and then, Xu Dahai's scream like killing a pig became louder.

As for Li Zongsheng, Lin Yan and Xue Nishang supported him alone, and finally sent him back to the house, and then left separately.

On the other hand, Lord Li is much more enlightened, so he doesn't care about him at all, and adopts a laissez-faire attitude.

After Lin Yan returned to the inn, he took a brief rest and went out again, he had just come to Chang'an, and he was not very familiar with the terrain, so he inquired several times along the road before buying some wood, iron needles, and some saltpeter, sulfur and so on.

To say that saltpeter also belongs to the controlled products of the imperial court, but after all, the folk also need to use fireworks and firecrackers, so as long as the amount purchased is not large, it will generally not attract the attention of the government.

The reason why he purchased these things was that on the one hand, he wanted to use the past few days to test his mechanical skills; On the other hand, it is extremely dangerous for him to sneak into the academy alone, and he must always prepare some means to defend himself in order to feel at ease.

This time, he is going to make one of the most basic objects in the "Thousand Changes", called "Ten Thousand Purples and Thousand Reds".

It may sound like a name, but your enemies don't think so.

The style of this "Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds" is similar to that of a single-shot crossbow, but it is much smaller. Although the Tang State was still martial and the control of civilian weapons was not very strict, it was necessary to exclude powerful crossbow arrows.

If someone is found to have made and carried crossbow arrows without permission, he will be considered to be suspected of rebellion, and he will only be greeted with extremely severe punishment.

Filled with thousands of iron needles propelled by gunpowder at the bottom, these needles will pop out at lightning speed and shoot at your enemies.

Unless there is a heavy armored knight on the opposite side, otherwise, even a strong person in the Tongmai Realm will accidentally fall into the way.

The skin of a person who is shot will first turn purple and then ooze red blood, which is "thousands of purples and thousands of reds".

It's just an ordinary operation, and if poison is applied to all of these iron needles, then ......

Lin Yan stopped imagining and began to prepare.

The first thing to do is to make the body of "Ten Thousand Purples and Thousand Reds", which can hold a large number of iron needles, which is too difficult to manufacture with metal materials, and Lin Yan does not have the corresponding tools.

So he can only use wood to make it, but this also has advantages, one is that wood is cheap and easy to obtain, and the other is that it is more convenient to carry.

But it also has a fatal drawback, that is, it is very easy to wear and tear, and it will not be used a few times, but it can only be like this for the time being.

As for its appearance, Lin Yan thought about it, but it was still not made according to the original appearance, which was also to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After thinking about it, Lin Yan finally decided to make it look like a hidden arrow, which was convenient and hidden, and could have a surprise effect during the battle.

Since the shape has been decided, how to fit these more than 1,000 iron needles into it is a big problem.

After all, the volume of the Hidden Arrow is destined not to be too large, so how to arrange so many iron needles is a problem.

Fortunately, the ancestor of the Mo family was a carpenter at the beginning, and since this "Thousand Changes of Mechanism" was left by him, it naturally mentioned some techniques for making wooden utensils.

Lin Yan also has a good talent in this area, and after studying for a long time, he finally created a prototype.

Its appearance is similar to that of an ordinary Hidden Arrow, except that it is slightly longer, and it is divided into three layers inside and three layers outside, and the inside can be filled with iron needles.

There is a safety buckle on the side of the "Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds", once opened, as long as the arm is gently shaken, then the iron needles inside will be fired out in unison.

The outer layer of iron needles is ejected by the machine spring, while the inner layer of iron needles is pushed by gunpowder, which can not only maximize the use of space, but also make the strength of the two waves of iron needles different, so as to have a surprise effect.

And because the iron needles in the inner layer are driven by gunpowder, the speed is not much slower, and more than 1,000 needles are fired out in a volley, which is very shocking to the enemy.

Gunpowder is not easy to get on the market through formal channels, so Lin Yan can only buy his own raw materials to make it, he mixes saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal according to a certain proportion, and finally makes a little bit of gunpowder after many failures.

Fortunately, the amount of his "Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds" is not very large, but it is enough for now.

It took a lot of effort to finally make this thing, Lin Yan couldn't wait to try it, only to see him put "thousands of purples and thousands of reds" on his arm and aim at the wall in front of him.

With the opening of the safety buckle, Lin Yan shook his arm slightly, only to see countless cold lights flying out, and then shooting straight into the wall, even the root of the iron needle has been completely submerged, leaving only tiny pinholes.

It happened that the guy was passing by, heard a strange noise in the room, and then knocked on the door: "Guest, guest, what's wrong?"

Lin Yan secretly said "not good", looked around, and hurriedly moved the wooden shelf on the side to block the wall, and then opened the door.

The man glanced inconspicuously into the room, and then asked, "Guest, are you alright?"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Me? It's nothing. ”

The guy said suspiciously, "What was the sound just now?"

Lin Yan thought for a while and said, "Oh! I just accidentally fell. ”

Although the guy didn't believe it, he didn't find anything for a while, and told Lin Yan to "pay attention to safety", and then turned around and left.

As soon as the guy left, Lin Yan wiped the sweat on his forehead and thought: I can't just test it in the house in the future!
