"It's so quiet on the streets."

On the makeshift cart, Captain Jeska sighed with emotion while looking into the distance.

Zhu Wenkui in the back of the car put down the hammer in his hand, wiped his sweat, climbed into the car, and looked out.

"yes. I guess they all went to Guo Kang's side. He glanced around and replied.

It was already dark, and the bright moonlight shone on the bustling city. But as Captain Jeska said, it's a little too quiet now.

"I've lived here for all these years, and I haven't seen a curfew properly enforced. I've always felt unsafe at night – people here are so energetic at night. ”

"It's true that the night is not safe for us, but it is a good opportunity for people with ulterior motives. As long as you dare to risk breaking the law and accept all kinds of risks in the fire, then this kind of affluent urban area is the best place to make a fortune. Captain Jaska said.

"And it's still after the triumph." Zhu Wenkui nodded: "There should be a lot of Greeks on the street, taking advantage of the wine everywhere to make trouble." Can ...... now There's not even a drunk here. ”

"The man's reminder should be true. I don't know where she got the news, but something is really wrong in the city. Captain Jeska frowned, "Let's get all the firearms ready in advance." ”

"Okay, there's no shortage of this." Zhu Wenkui nodded and dragged out a box.

Because Guo Kang often "customizes" all kinds of strange weapons, Zhu Wenkui has also saved a lot of things here. There were some straws in this box, and the others were all kinds of long and short firearms—almost all of them were the brain holes that Guo Kang had proposed before, and they had made them ready to verify.

"Where's the cannon we used to have?" Captain Jaska asked.

"It's in the storeroom, but is that thing useful? Where to put it? Zhu Wenkui patted the cart: "This one was added in a hurry, and the cannon will definitely break if you put it on it." ”

"It's better not to, but we've got to plan for the worst." Captain Jeska told him, "You don't have to fill up the gunpowder to the maximum amount every time you did in the previous experiments. The enemy probably doesn't have any heavy armor and less gunpowder, so I think it can be hit. ”

"Okay......" Zhu Wenkui hesitated, and finally agreed: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, so let's prepare for it." ”

He quickly returned to the hut and dragged a cannon out from under Zhu Yuanzhang's feet. When he dragged him to the door, he looked at the grandfather in front of him, and thought of the current situation, Zhu Wenkui was a little weak for a while, and wanted to ask for the blessing of the ancestor in the spirit of heaven. But after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly again.

"Hey, I don't have the face to beg you for anything. I hope I don't embarrass you today. He shook his head, didn't leave a prayer, and left with the cannon in tow.

Walking to the gate, Captain Jeska had already strengthened the wheels. Outside the gate, a familiar voice could be heard. It was the retainers who had gone out, and they rushed back one after another.

"It's okay, it's more timely." Captain Jeska looked at it again and said, "The weather is good today, at least there's moonlight." Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome. ”

"I heard Guo Kang say before that human beings are instinctively afraid of the dark because in the ancient times before the Suiren clan and the Youchao clan, our ancestors were no different from animals. Human beings are not very capable of nocturnal activities, and they are very dangerous in the face of many nocturnal beasts, so they have formed a habit that continues in the bloodline. Zhu Wenkui sighed:

"And now? After so long, the nocturnal beasts are no longer a threat, and the situation is getting worse and worse. From this point of view, the biggest threat is still the people themselves. ”

"That's what we think too. The priest told me that many human sufferings are not natural, but self-inflicted. Therefore, he felt that the first problem was to adjust the relationship between people and bring everything back to the right path. Captain Jaska put down the musket in his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "The scholars of the East should think the same way. I just don't know how we can do it. ”

"This, you better talk to Guo Kang, I can't say for sure." Zhu Wenkui pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head in abruptness: "This topic is too profound. ”

"I don't really care about philosophical issues, they are the ones that the monks study." Captain Jeska said, "That's why I'm more interested in the legend of your ancestors. I feel like there's something ...... in those stories A quality that we rarely see here. ”

"Why did he succeed, you mean?" Zhu Wenkui also seems to have anticipated this problem, and did not seem surprised. He replied in passing, jumped out of the car, and continued to reinforce with nails and wood.

"yes." Captain Jeska nodded, jumped out of the car, and picked up a few muskets: "Think about it, it's like in Bohemia, there was a poor monk from a peasant background, who suddenly defeated the princes of the HRE and unified Europe. Think about it......"

"How do I feel, it's not the first time I've heard such a metaphor?" Zhu Wenkui was puzzled: "Did you say it last time?" It's like an Italian who beat the Goths himself......"

"It shouldn't be me, I don't know much about that history." Captain Jaska immediately shook his head.

"That may be a mistake. Anyway, I've been asked this kind of question twice in three days. Zhu Wenkui was a little helpless.

"Because...... For everyone, this is really legendary. Captain Jeska sat on the side and loaded gunpowder: "I have been watching the plays of the Greeks a lot lately, and none of them dare to write like this. ”

"There are very few similar conditions here." Zhu Wenkui thought for a while: "Whether it is a German or an Italian, the situation is quite different. ”

"I don't think the people here have a concept of a state, so of course there is no such basis - at that time, we had the concept of 'Han court' on our side, but here, I really didn't notice it. You see, they don't care who the king is. In this case, even if there are foreigners who compete for the right to rule the country, there is no way to call on everyone and organize people. ”

"There's no way around it......" Captain Jeska couldn't think of a good answer. He scratched his head and said, "I really can't do it, I can only look at France." ”

"Is that all the French care about?" Zhu Wenkui didn't know much about this.

"It's better than other countries." Captain Jeska said: "They are indeed in danger now, and many people feel that if this continues, the royal family will not be able to sustain it for long. When the time comes, you can see if there will be any heroes among the people. ”

"That's right. If they can't produce such heroes, then it is estimated that the whole of Europe is really impossible. Zhu Wenkui agreed.

"Then what else can unite ordinary people against a powerful enemy?" Captain Jeska continued, "Did your ancestors have experience with this?" ”

"It's the same problem, I don't know if the experience can be used, or if it will be a delay." Zhu Wenkui told him: "It stands to reason that if the oppression is too heavy, even if the oppression does not come from the emperor himself, ordinary people will regard everyone from the monarch to the powerful in the village as enemies and desperately resist." Therefore, the rational king himself went back to suppress the powerful and prevented them from forcing people into a hurry and causing the entire court to suffer. But here, I don't have this habit. ”

"The poor people of Europe are more miserable than Seris. Whoever of you has the ability to gather them together is great. But I don't think I have that chance for the time being. ”

"Then your ancestors, how did you do it......" Captain Jeska circled, still struggling with the matter, and turned the topic back to him.

And Zhu Wenkui really didn't think about it in this direction.

"How could providence sum it up so easily." Not knowing how to explain it, he had to deal with it in an official way: "Obviously, this is not applicable to all situations." ”

"You don't have to worry about that." He pointed out: "Are you really going to go back and take the people of the village with you to beat Sigismund?" ”

"Whatever there is." Jeskar was also a little embarrassed to see him mention this matter again, and quickly waved his hand: "I just bragged casually, don't take it ......seriously."

With that, he loaded the last gun in his hand, stretched out his hand to say hello to an acquaintance who had returned on horseback, and turned his head to hand it to Zhu Wenkui.

Turning sideways for a moment, he paused and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Wenkui subconsciously looked in that direction.

A plume of smoke is slowly rising, especially noticeable under the bright night sky.

"What's that?" Zhu Wenkui blurted out.

"It's Bamboo Forest Fang!" One of the men who ran in replied, "I just went there this morning!" ”

"What's going on over there?" Zhu Wenkui hurriedly asked.

"I don't know!" The other party replied, "Everything was fine at that time!" ”

Zhu Wenkui also frowned, and his expression became serious.

"It seems that that inexplicable little girl is really right." He whispered, "Brother Kang, I'm afraid it's going to be a big trouble this time." But how did you run over there? ”

No one could answer him. Everyone stopped for a moment and began to whisper.

"You've got to say a few words." Captain Jaska immediately reminded him.

"Ah, yes." Zhu Wenkui immediately came back to his senses and shouted to everyone: "Don't look, don't look!" Hurry up and close the door and block it in the back! The Greeks in the city are starting to make trouble again, and they can't let them plague this place. I have already sent people to the Khan's court and asked them to send troops over, everyone will keep an eye on it for a while! ”

The crowd also responded in unison, and got busy.

Zhu Wenkui was about to breathe a sigh of relief, on the street at the door, several riders rushed towards a carriage, and before the car could stop, a girl in a gorgeous costume jumped down and shouted to the courtyard: "I am Guo Kang's friend, are you here?" ”

"Why are you Guo Kang's friend again? How many girls has he befriended? Zhu Wenkui said and climbed into the car, but before he could get up, Captain Jeska held him down.

He turned and gestured to a man next to him, who understood and shouted behind the door, "Who are you?" ”

"My name is Joanna, Joanna Di Giovanni." The other person replied, "I have something urgent to say to my face." ”

"Do you know her?" Captain Jaska asked in a whisper.

"I don't know. I don't have the impression of this Joe or anything, Joe or anything. Zhu Wenkui scratched his head and hesitated.

"Then I'll go see her." Captain Jeska said, and was about to jump out of the car: "Don't move around here, we don't know what this man is up to." ”

"No, you command, I'll go." Zhu Wenkui shook his head decisively: "You arrange for them to prepare, you must protect my mother and sister." I really can't command, and I can't help here, so I'll go see her. ”

"But ......"

"It's an order!"

Zhu Wenkui dropped a sentence and ran to the foyer again. After running two steps, he remembered something again, and asked a little embarrassedly: "No, where did I put the armor I changed last time?" ”

"It's also in the ancestral hall." Captain Jeska said, "The big things that are idle are all over there. ”

Zhu Wenkui hurriedly ran over again.

The treasury of "Wu Wangfu" is full of all kinds of reserves for daily use. The armor is not needed at all on weekdays, so it is all thrown away in the hut.

He hadn't prepared anything for it. Last year, they had to drag him to watch the troops, so they left him a special one. Who would have thought that there would still be a place to use it now.

The retainers and servants were very busy, and Zhu Wenkui could only run to the hut alone, looked left and right, and found that behind Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait, there was indeed a large box that was not impressive. He had no choice but to get under the feet of the portrait and pull out the box under Zhu Yuanzhang's buttocks. When I opened it, it was indeed an armor, and it was still shiny and shiny, and it was well maintained.

"How do you wear it......?"

Zhu Wenkui muttered and dragged the box out of the hut. smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang again, and didn't have time to say anything, so he quickly took the door and left.

Before I was done, the editor came to me...... Send this out first, and put the rest slowly in the next two days
