The man in black looked in the direction where the sound came from in disbelief, and in the moment of his doubt, the night guards disguised as domestic servants and the guards on the bright side of the house had already caught up.

"Take him down!"

The escort who led the team shouted as he pointed to the black man's clothes.

The man in black didn't care about anything else, he immediately jumped vertically, and flew up to the courtyard wall, and the captain of the guard didn't hesitate when he saw this, and directly raised his handcuff and shot.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, but the man in black had already prepared, and the captain of the guard didn't hit him when he dodged, and it was too late for the others to raise their guns and shoot along, and the man in black had already jumped off the courtyard wall and disappeared.

"You, go and report to your grandfather, and the others will chase after me!"

He had instructed Xiaoqing not to go out recently, why did she suddenly go out today, and she didn't say a word to him.

Xiaoqing put the refreshments on the table and said with a smile: "Master, you haven't eaten the dim sum I made for a long time, Xiaoqing specially made some for you today, try it." ”

An Qing thought for a while and said, "Well, what do you say that if you want to kill Lan Yu in the future, tell me to stop it, strange, why do you want to kill Lan Yu?" I heard that my father values him now! ”

"Yes!"

Li Wei bowed his head slightly, and was about to put away the remaining gunpowder, but the basement door was suddenly knocked at this time.

Li Wei was about to eat, and suddenly asked in surprise, "What about Xiaoqing?" ”

More than 100 people from the Horse Mansion poured out of the nest, which immediately attracted a burst of attention, but the Jinyi guards who were guarding outside were not surprised, as if they had expected it.

With rifling, the accuracy of the cannon has greatly increased, and the power is not comparable to that of the previous artillery.

Li Wei smiled, and was not polite, took a piece and took a bite.

"Are you alright?" Li Wei asked.

Of course, this is not enough, he also has to design rear-loading shells, especially now that there is a firing charge, the shells can also be switched to a firing fuse, and there is no longer an open flame to ignite.

Duan Yu hesitated and said, "Why don't I stay with you?" ”

"What did Grandpa tell us to command?"

Li Wei frowned, it seems that this man in black conveyed some news to Xiaoqing.

"Grandpa, don't worry, Miss Duan Yu next to the second lady repelled this person, and then we arrived, the second lady is fine."

Li Wei asked.

Duan Yu didn't stay any longer, and followed everyone out of the house.

"The captain fired a shot, and we didn't have time yet." The guard replied.

Li Wei led people anxiously looking around the street, and couldn't help but regret it a little, he just ordered Xiaoqing not to go out, but he didn't order the guards to stop him, Xiaoqing easily left the house, if he had arranged it more thoroughly, there would not have been this situation.

"Grandpa."

Xie Feihu looked at Li Wei for instructions, Li Wei frowned, he is fiddling with these things here, and no one is usually allowed to disturb him, and when he comes to knock on the door at this time, I am afraid that there is an emergency.

In the basement, Li Wei looked at the rubble caused by the explosion of the small paper shell bullet and nodded with satisfaction.

The next day, the servants and slaves of the Horse Mansion got up early in the morning, sprinkled and cooked as usual, and were busy with their own affairs, as if the events of last night had not happened.

Since moving to the Horse Mansion, he has not eaten the tea and food made by Xiaoqing himself for a long time, and the food in the house was the responsibility of the female officials brought by Anqing, and later Xiaoqing became a concubine, and she didn't cook often.

The escort who chased out soon returned, and the squad leader who led the team looked ashamed:

"Grandpa, I didn't catch it, the person who came was a master, and we chased it not long before we lost it."

At the end of this order, there is also a sentence: If you don't die, Li Wei will die!

Li Wei came to the main seat and sat down, glanced at the two of them with a smile, and said to Xiao Keyan: "Listen to your mother obediently, and go to play after eating." ”

Xiaoqing poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and then recalled the old days: "Yes, it's still good at that time, the luckiest thing in Xiaoqing's life is to meet the old man......"

Now the main thing is to find people first.

Li Wei's expression froze: "She went out?" What did you do? ”

It might have been better in the future, but she didn't get a chance to see it.

Li Wei was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "How is Xiaoqing?" ”

"Oh, I saw her out in the morning." An Qing said.

Li Wei nodded lightly, but he didn't care: "Run, run, you all go and retreat, and strengthen your vigilance in the future." ”

"Mother, I'm not hungry yet, I'm going to play!" Little Kerry muttered.

Xiaoqing slowly cleaned up the plates, glanced at Li Wei, who was busy with his head down, and then reluctantly turned around and walked out of the study.

In the lobby, Anqing was already seated, waiting for him, Xiao Xin'er was still young, and there was a nurse to take care of her, and Xiao Ke was forcibly pressed on the bench waiting for the meal, but this kid was not honest and kept writhing.

Li Wei didn't bother to ask any more, and hurriedly walked out of the lobby, shouting out as he walked: "Someone! ”

Li Wei's face changed greatly, and he stood up suddenly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

In addition to guns, artillery also had to be innovated.

Then Li Wei asked them to step down.

After Duan Yu left, only Xiaoqing was left in the room, but she didn't turn off the lights to rest, but got up and walked to the corner of the room to look for it, and found a paper ball wrapped in stones.

An Qing gave him a white look angrily, Li Wei himself is very loose, and naturally he will not discipline his son as strictly as others, which is difficult for her to be a mother, many times the child is naughty Li Wei doesn't care, she can only make a wicked appearance to reprimand.

He believed in Xiaoqing and was not worried that she would betray herself.

Thinking of this, Li Wei waved his hand, Xie Feihu immediately went to open the door, and a guard arched his hand at the door, and reported: "Grandpa, someone just broke into the mansion, this person is very skilled, we failed to catch it, the captain has already led someone to chase it." ”

The original rear-loading guns were not easy to use, and often malfunctioned and caused explosions, but as long as the cartridge was available, these problems were solved.

After a long time, she sat down dejectedly, with sadness and reluctance in her eyes, and tears soon appeared.

"No, let's go back." Xiaoqing shook her head.

"But what?" Li Wei said urgently.

When he arrived at Xiaoqing's courtyard a moment later, Xiaoqing was sitting at the table in the room accompanied by Duan Yu, and the room was already lit up.

Li Wei didn't go out now, and went to the study after breakfast.

After comforting a few words, Li Wei led people out of Xiaoqing's courtyard, and he had to see if the guards had caught the man in black.

At that time, although the place was small and there were few people, the family was very warm, unlike now.

An Qing was startled and whispered, "Didn't I tell you." ”

After they left, Xie Feihu asked, "Grandpa, do you want to send more people from the house?" ”

"How?" Xiaoqing asked.

Li Wei's heart sank, and he asked, "What did you say?" ”

Time flowed slowly, and at noon, Li Wei put down his work and went to the lobby to eat.

In a street market in Xicheng, Xiaoqing walked in the middle of the street alone, ignoring the vendors and shops on both sides, and had no intention of buying anything.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Li Wei nodded, and couldn't help but think of the days when he used to live in the small courtyard, and sighed: "It's still better when I lived in the small courtyard before!" ”

"Come in." Li Wei stopped writing.

Xiaoqing opened the door and came in, and Li Wei also left the desk and came to the reception room on the side.

Li Wei turned his head to Xie Feihu and said.

Of course, he doesn't really read the books of the sages, but studies his own things.

After eating two bites, Li Wei asked with some doubts: "Why did you remember to cook in person today?" ”

Li Wei was slightly stunned, and immediately understood who Xiaoqing was talking about.

Xie Feihu stepped forward and asked.

Li Wei didn't stop, and said as he walked: "Go out to find Xiaoqing immediately, you must find her as soon as possible!" Bring her back to me safely! ”

"Hmm."

The guard thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but this man in black was found in the courtyard of the second lady." ”

An Qing said: "I said that I went out to buy some things, and I said some strange things before leaving." ”

Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Those people should have come to inquire about the news from me." ”

Although these people have received special training, they are only slightly better ordinary soldiers, and they are not half a star away from real masters.

When Xiaoqing saw him come in, he quickly stood up and shouted.

"Assemble everyone! Immediately, immediately! Li Wei shouted anxiously.

Xiaoqing also smiled and said, "Xiaoqing remembered that it had been a long time since he had made food for the master, so he made some." ”

Duan Yu thought about it, shook her head and said, "No, I came out immediately when I heard the movement, the second lady opened the door later, but it was ......"

Anqing is the opposite, without the former liveliness, and with a kind of maternal majesty, Meimu glared and reprimanded: "Sit honestly!" ”

Now that he's almost five years old, he's starting to get naughty.

Li Wei hurriedly came to the courtyard, so the domestic servants, maids and guards quickly gathered, especially the night guards and guards, which were even more strict and orderly.

As he spoke, he stepped forward again and looked at her carefully, and when he saw that she was indeed fine, he was relieved.

Hearing this, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, these guards in his house were originally equipped with firearms, since someone fired, the sound of his test could also be said to be caused by the guards using firearms.

It's not a bad thing if you don't catch someone this time, but it's not easy to deal with if you really catch it, after all, it's a person from Jinyiwei, and it's not a release if it falls into your hands.

An Qing and the two children are here, and the family is the only one who is missing.

Xiaoqing also just went out in the morning, Li Wei was busy, and she didn't think much about it.

"Yes!"

……

Li Wei bowed his head slightly, and then asked tentatively, "Do you know who is coming?" ”

The captain of the guard casually pointed to his subordinates and ordered, and then led the people out of the hospital.

Xie Feihu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly responded, and then led people to run out in a hurry.

A servant hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Li Wei nodded, and asked again, "Do you know the purpose of this person's invasion of the mansion?" ”

After Li Wei left, Xiaoqing said to Duan Yu: "You can also go back and rest." ”

Xie Feihu responded.

"Did the man in black say anything to Xiaoqing that night?"

Now there is a rifled bed, and the barrel can already be replaced with a rifled rifled gun.

The squad leader gave up.

"No!" Li Wei shook his head.

There are two main types of bolts for rear-loading guns: wedge type and rib type, the wedge type has a fast loading speed and a better threaded type airtightness, and these two kinds of gun bolts have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Wei was still busy, so he hurriedly finished his snack, got up and returned to the desk to continue studying the drawings, and left the plate for her to clean up.

Xiaoqing nodded obediently, but sighed lightly in her heart.

Xiaoqing nodded obediently.

While Li Wei was busy, there was a knock on the door of the study, and Xiaoqing's voice sounded outside the door:

She took the paper ball to the lamp, opened it and looked at it, her beautiful eyes slowly widened, and her little face became pale.

Jingshi said that it is not big, it is not small, don't look at Li Wei, there are hundreds of people, and it is very difficult to find one person in a short time.

Li Wei was about to follow to look for it, and when he saw Duan Yu in the crowd, he immediately beckoned her to stop.

In fact, there are a lot of people in the mansion now, and there are nearly 100 guards on the surface plus night guards in the dark, and it is not like a word if there are more, after all, it is in the Jingshi City.

The order given to her by the man in black was simple, to let her come here and wait for the end of her fate.

When Duan Yu heard this, she didn't insist, anyway, the room between the two was only separated by a wall, and she could come over quickly if there was any movement.

"But I think I saw him throw something." Duan Yu said.

Li Wei smiled: "Don't worry, it will be better in the future." ”

He already knew Xiaoqing's identity, but Jinyiwei didn't necessarily know that Xiaoqing had already betrayed them, and now that the mansion had been arranged by him, he could no longer spy on him through his subordinates, so it was not strange to come to Xiaoqing to investigate.

"Okay, I know, you should also hurry out and look for it, you must find someone!" Li Wei shook off these thoughts and urged.

"Sir."

"It's me, sir, I've made some refreshments and brought them to you to taste."

Seeing this, the servant did not dare to delay, and immediately turned around and went to look for someone.

Xiaoqing's heart warmed, and she said softly: "Don't worry, master, I'm fine." ”

"It's okay, then let's rest early." Li Wei said softly.

"Hmm." Li Wei hummed lightly, but didn't ask much.

When Li Wei heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately walked out of the basement quickly and rushed towards the Xiaoqing courtyard.

"Yes, it still tastes like that." Li Wei said while eating.

"Oh." Xiao Keyan could only honestly shut his mouth.

Xie Feihu didn't say anything more when he heard this.

"Yes, this gunpowder can be used, you can tell Tao Sheng when you go back, let him make bullets according to the method I said, and then assemble the gun and try it."

Li Wei's face changed suddenly when he heard this, he was here to test these gunpowders, although it was underground, but the explosion just now was not small, I am afraid that the sound could be heard outside, at this critical time, someone broke into the house, could it be noticed?

"Did you shoot?" Li Wei asked.

She didn't doubt the truth of this sentence at all, although Li Wei was now a supreme minister, he still couldn't compete with this order, so she didn't tell Li Wei, but came here silently.

As they walked, there was a sudden commotion in front, and several war horses galloped over, and with bursts of shouting and scolding, the people were so frightened that they hurriedly dodged.

Xiaoqing looked up, but was indifferent, just standing in the middle of the road...... (End of chapter)
