Chapter 176: Prepare Something

The next few days were calm, but the weather was getting colder.

Gu Tao didn't come out to look for trouble again, and Chen Kan was also happy to be idle.

It was night, at the junction of Qutang Gorge and Wu Gorge under the moonlight, a small wharf, Chen Kan took more than 100 people under his command to get off the big boat.

On the edge of the wharf, it was Gu Cheng who arranged for the people who came to pick up Chen Kan.

Gu Tao's itinerary was to take a merchant ship all the way to Kuizhou, when Gu Chengzi would send someone to pick him up, and then escort him to the Guizhou General Military Mansion.

The people sent by Gu Cheng to pick up Chen Kan were all dressed in civilian clothes.

Seeing that all the people brought by Chen Kan had disembarked, the person at the head arched his hand and said: "Lord Chen, the lowly surname is Shan, he is a hundred households under the command of Hou Ye, and the situation in Shuzhong is more familiar, just ask me any questions." ”

Chen Kan nodded and replied, "Shan Baihu, it's troublesome." ”

"It's okay, let's go."

Shan Baihu answered, and seeing that the people brought by Chen Kan had all disembarked, a group of people began to climb along the winding mountain road.

Shuzhong is a basin, but Chongqing Prefecture is located at the junction of the Shuzhong Basin and the Central Plains, and it is full of endless mountains.

Chen Kan has walked this kind of road in later generations, and now he is naturally familiar with it, but the captains of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who followed Chen Kan are used to staying in the plains of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Chen Kan didn't care about them, he couldn't adapt to this environment, how could he become a big tool in the future.

And getting off the boat halfway was Gu Cheng's idea, and it was also Chen Kan's idea.

The goal of entering Shuzhong from the great river is too big, and this time, Chen Kan also intends to play a sinister one.

After walking along the mountain road for a day and a night, Chen Kan and the others finally secretly came to the place where the Kuimen army was stationed.

Zhu Chun was besieged by Gu Cheng from Kuizhou on the top of the mountain of Kuimen, with a large army in front of him, a cliff behind him, and a wide river under the cliff.

It is not difficult to see from the camp that Zhu Chun chose to retreat to that Zhu Chun does not understand military affairs.

Although he occupied the Kuimen Heights, Gu Cheng couldn't attack it, but he also trapped himself on the top of the mountain, unless he could grow wings and fly across the river.

However, this has nothing to do with Chen Kan.

He has his own things to do.

The hundred households surnamed Shan led the way for Chen Kan, and by the way, he explained the situation in Shuzhong in detail for Chen Kan.

Three days later, Chen Kan appeared near Wanxian County, Kuizhou with a face of wind and frost, and only one-third of the original manpower under his command remained.

The few people who have lost manpower have naturally secretly infiltrated all parts of Shuzhong, and now that Chen Kan has come to Wanxian, he plans to go straight to the White Lotus Sect stronghold of the Qinglong Waterfall in Wanxian County.

According to Shan Baihu, the Qinglong Waterfall in Wanxian County is the largest White Lotus Sect station in the entire Chongqing Prefecture.

It is also the most frequent station of Xifozi.

If the two Buddhas want to kill each other, this is definitely the most suitable place.

Just in case, Chen Kan led people into the city pool of Wanxian first.

He needs to prepare a few things first.

He has brought such a few people with him now, and if he lets the Buddha know his whereabouts, it will be to deliver food.

The gunpowder he brought from Jingshi was not safe, and he planned to get some high-purity gunpowder out by himself.

He couldn't get TNT, but getting a little bit of gold-ratio black powder with a higher power than Da Ming's gunpowder was easy for him to capture.

found an inn to live in, and Chen Kan locked himself in the room.

Buddha is not an easy opponent to deal with, this he had already confirmed when Chen Kan first fought Buddha Zi.

This is Shuzhong instead of Jingshi, Shuzhong is not Chen Kan's home field, even with Gu Cheng's cooperation, Chen Kan's next actions must be very careful, who knows how many people Gu Cheng can draw out there, in case Gu Cheng drops the chain, Chen Kan can only use the more than 100 people he brought.

After confirming that all the accidents were taken into account, what Chen Kan needed happened to be in place.

After emptying a room from the inn, Chen Kan asked Fang Xu and Zhang San for help.

The secret recipe of black powder is not a secret since the compilation of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" in the Song Dynasty, but the power of black powder in the early Ming Dynasty is still not too strong.

Because the Ming people creatively added many toxic and harmful substances on the basis of their predecessors, the gunpowder of the Ming Dynasty was not only used for firearms and cannons, but also other firearms such as thunderbolts and arrows of a hundred tigers were very weak.

What Chen Kan wants to do is the golden ratio of black powder obtained after continuous improvement and continuous experimentation in later generations.

Instructed Fang Xu to grind the charcoal into powder, Chen Kan began to filter the impurities in the saltpeter, since he was planning to make gold and black powder, the purification step could not be saved, and Zhang San was responsible for crushing the sulfide bought from the nearby Taoist temple.

The ground saltpeter is added with water, filtered, and purified......

It took one night for Chen Kan to finally get three raw materials.

Prepare egg whites, sieve, tissue paper......

......

After a day and a night, Chen Kan, Fang Xu and Zhang San walked out of the room with an overly lustful look, which immediately aroused the strange eyes of the captains under his command.

Chen Kan beckoned a table of delicacies, and the three of them immediately began to devour.

Chen Kan swallowed a large piece of chicken hard, and Wang Lung suddenly stepped forward and whispered in Chen Kan's ear.

Hearing this, Chen Kan's face suddenly turned grim: "Let the brothers not startle the snake, and ...... when necessary."

Chen Kan made a gesture to wipe his neck, and Wang Long understood: "Don't worry, my lord, they are all old brothers from Jinyiwei, and in terms of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, the White Lotus Sect will not be our opponent." ”

The two were playing dumb riddles, Fang Xu and Zhang San raised their heads and glanced at Chen Kan blankly, and they realized that they might have fallen out of favor.

The adult actually fought with Wang Lung, this kid.

After Wang Lung stepped back, Fang Xu came up and asked, "My lord, what happened?" ”

Chen Kan said lightly: "Some brothers have found that there are many more people who have come to Wanxian County to buy materials recently than in the past, and after tracking the distance for a while, they found that it is indeed the person from the direction of Qinglong Cliff. ”

Fang Xu suddenly became excited: "So, the Buddha is really in Wanxian." ”

"Even if the Buddha is in Wanxian, just a few of us, if we go, we will be sent to death."

Chen Kan coldly poured a basin of cold water on him, and Fang Xu immediately calmed down.

If the two Buddhas met in Wanxian, the gathered White Lotus Sect would definitely not be something that they could eat.

Thinking of this result, Fang Xu was immediately angry: "Do you need to gather other brothers?" ”

Chen Kan said coldly: "No, they have their tasks. ”

"Send someone to deliver a letter to Gu Cheng, and in addition, to prevent the White Lotus Sect from uniting with Zhu Chun."
