They are real beasts, plundering Daning, and even treating their own compatriots like this.

After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly calmed down, sat on the small stool as if his strength had been suddenly drained, and pointed to the porridge in the pot.

"Eat."

Erzhu glanced at it: "Old man, you can eat." ”

The old man waved his hand: "I'm old, I can't eat." ”

Erzhu glanced at the old man and put the porridge into his own bowl.

It was dark very early, and soon it was night, and the two pillars slept on the bed, and the old man could only curl up in the corner, but if the bed was a little more squeezed, the old man wrapped in his sheepskin robe, habitually shrank into the corner, lowered his head and closed his eyes, and did not speak.

Erzhu looked at him: "Old man, you can sleep in the bed, I am in good health, I can nest in the nest." ”

The old man slowly raised a hand and waved his hand: "Habit, I have lived like this for half my life." ”

Erzhu looked at the old man in the dark, and felt some emotion in his heart.

He didn't expect that the foreigners were living this kind of life, in the past he hated the foreigners, and felt that they didn't want to do things, only wanted to plunder, but now when he saw the old man, he found that the robbers who burned, killed and looted had become an army, and now he realized that in all ethnic groups, there are always restless people, and there are also people who only want to live their own lives and don't want to cause strife, and the herdsmen who want to live a down-to-earth life in a barren natural environment are so passive, they live alone, they don't care about war, they don't care about the concept between countries, Their world is only their children and their flock, and the sun, the meadows, the campfires, these are their lives.

Erzhu looked at the old man quietly for a while, and suddenly heard the old man's intermittent voice in the dark: "Spring, it will come, the sheep will give birth to lambs, but my girl will not come back, can you make the war stop soon." ”

Erzhu probably understood what he meant: "Old man, there will always be a day when the battle is over, and there will always be a day when the days will get better, and when spring comes, everything will be fine." ”

The voice in the corner disappeared for a while, and then he said hoarsely: "Winter, it's too long." ”

Erzhu was silent for a while: "The winter in Daning is warm, there are earth dragons and houses there, I will send you to Daning." ”

The old man did not answer, probably because he felt that this question was too difficult to understand, or because he did not want to agree, so Erzhu did not say any more, and lay down to continue to rest.

He had to rest well, he only woke up today, his body was still very unwell, he rested for another night, and he will set off for home tomorrow, his accident this time must have caused a big wave in the army, I don't know if the family has received the news, if they do, I don't know what the situation at home is.

Thinking like this, Erzhu was worried for a while, but he soon fell asleep, and the next morning, when Erzhu woke up, he saw the old man still sleeping in a corner wrapped in a robe, and got up and screamed.

"Old man, I have to go back today, and I will come back to you when I have time, and I will bring you some lambs." Erzhu had a sheepskin robe wrapped tightly around his body, and he wanted to borrow it and leave his own clothes with him.

As Erzhu spoke, seeing that the old man had not woken up or spoken, he walked forward quickly, probed under his snort, and was no longer breathing.

The old man was wrapped in warm sheepskin robes, and the man stiffened.

Erzhu looked at it stunned for a while, stood up, and didn't know where he should be buried according to the customs of their foreigners.

After all, Erzhu was the concept of the Daning people, and he couldn't do anything else, so he decided to bury him near this house and set up a small tombstone for him.

Erzhu went around the house for a while, what harpoons, shovels, and sheep whips, and finally found a tool in hand, and went outside the house to start digging a pit, digging through the thick layer of snow, and then the frozen and stiff soil.

The shovel was curled, the harpoons were used, and at last a pit was dug to cover the man, and the second pillar took the old man out and put him in, and let him continue to sleep in his warm sheepskin robe.

Erzhu glanced at the robe on his body, and could see that the place where the old man touched it before, the sheepskin was exceptionally white and soft, and compared with other stinky sheep, this sheep should have been very popular with the old people during his lifetime.

Erzhu took off the sheepskin robe from his upper body, let the old man's beloved lamb lie at his feet, and then covered it with earth.

"Old man, you, your daughter, and the lamb will meet underground."

After burying it, Erzhu returned to the house, put the chain mail on the outside of the thin shirt, found a large piece of sheepskin, found a cloth strap to tie to his body, but barely like a sheepskin robe, wrapped in the shirt, and embarked on the way back.

……

Lin Piaocai went to Beijing to wait for the news, and more than 10 days have passed since the accident, and as time goes on and on, the collapse is spreading quietly.

The second aunt and Yu Niang were still praying to God and worshiping Buddha, and after Lin Piao accompanied them for a few days, they lost interest and decided to engage in guns and bullets with Fang Ming.

This proposal was arguably very much hindered, because everyone thought they were fanciful.

"Putting fireworks in a tube can kill someone?"

"The fireworks were already in the pipe!"

"Then you don't need weapons to fight, just use fireworks?!"

Fang Ming quarreled with them about a lot of physical things, what acceleration, what thrust, and in the end they all got a sentence.

"Isn't that just fireworks?!"

The project was blocked from the beginning, and Lin Piao could only ask Chang Yongsi to help them, and first experiment with the project in private, if they wanted to persuade everyone to accept this thing beyond everyone's understanding, they had to see the finished product before they could understand this magic.

Chang Yongsi said that he was very embarrassed: "Madam, I am willing to do it, but I am a armor maker, although these things are made of iron, but after all, interlacing is like a mountain, and I really don't know much about weapons and gunpowder. ”

As soon as Lin Piao heard this, he knew that he still had to go to the Royal Foundry, after all, there were really many top talents there, making high-level weapons, making ornaments, making hairpins, and making fireworks, these are all things that the royal family urgently needs every year, and all departments of the foundry are very comprehensive, bringing together talents from all over the world.

Lin Piao thought about it, this matter can't be finished at present, and it must be approved before it can be started, and it is impossible for someone from the foundry to help do it, so he can only go to the emperor to get approval first.

Lin Piao reported it first, and the emperor asked him to enter the palace with Fang Ming in the afternoon.

Fang Ming was very nervous, this matter was already extraordinary, not to mention that he was summoned by the emperor, and it was the first time he had seen the legendary emperor in his life.

The second prince is a very good person, at least in his impression, Emperor Yang was tyrannical, Daning was destroyed by his hands, in all the stories, the second prince is a gentle son, a virtuous prince, persecuted by the tyrant, resulting in hatred sooner or later, unable to develop his ambitions.

Now that he is in power, Daning is in such a good state, it is worthy of Bai Yueguang, who has so many people who are upset with him.

Fang Ming followed Lin Piao into the palace, Lin Piao walked in familiarly, Fang Ming probed his brain and looked around, following Lin Piao for fear of being left behind.

When he arrived at the emperor's study, the emperor was sitting on the couch drinking tea next to him, when Fang Ming raised his eyes, pursed his lips and whispered, "It's quite handsome." ”

I thought he was a gentle and ugly man, but it seems that anyone who can be praised and popular in the history books will not look bad.

Lin Piao glanced back at him and looked at Chu Yu: "Your Majesty, Fang Ming is the first time to face a saint, and he doesn't understand the rules. ”

Chu Yu smiled: "It's okay, why did Aiqing come here on purpose." ”

Lin Piao said that they wanted to make a gun, Lin Piao said a few words, and seeing that Chu Yu didn't seem to understand what he meant, he closed his mouth and let Fang Ming talk about the next nonsense.

Fang Ming crackled and took out his own drawings, after all, he had the need to draw architectural drawings, and his control of the lines was okay, and with the assistance of a ruler, he also drew them decently.

Chu Yu listened carefully to Fang Ming's words, looked at the drawings, and finally raised his eyes to look at Lin Piao: "What is the difference between this thing and the Heavenly Machine Bow?" ”

Fang Ming said anxiously: "The difference is very big. ”

Chu Yu glanced at him sideways, Fang Ming only felt a chill in his back, his mouth didn't dare to open anymore, he stood silently aside, thinking, is this the emperor's domineering spirit, it is really strong.

Chu Yu said: "Being able to fire seven times in a row, slandering the enemy, and being able to shoot a hundred meters from a distance sounds the same as the Heavenly Machine Bow, but it is a lot more troublesome to do." ”

"No, it's not the same, the cold weapon of the Tianji Bow, this is the □□, although the Tianji Bow will hurt the enemy, as long as it doesn't shoot. The most critical position is only a minor wound to the enemy, but when a bullet is fired, the shrapnel will shatter, and even if it only hits the shoulder or leg, it is difficult for the strongest person to endure the pain and continue to fight. ”

Chu Yu listened to what he said: "If this thing is really as you said, it will hurt Yin Virtue too much. ”

Lin Piao thought to himself what kind of this emperor was talking about, and he looked interesting and easy to deal with, Lin Piao saw that he didn't pay much attention to this matter at all, probably because he had already assessed this project as unacceptable.

Lin Piao gritted his teeth.

Fang Ming watched from the side, and after looking at it for a while, he found that the emperor's appearance was a little strange, and after thinking about it, he realized that something was wrong.

Although he rejected their proposal, he was very gentle with Lin Piao, and he always stared at Lin Piao's face when he spoke, and even, as if he was looking at Lin Piao's lips a little, admiring Lin Piao's gently opening and closing his lips when he spoke.

Fang Ming sounded the alarm as soon as he could, feeling very bad.

Alas, the life of the eldest brother is really hard, and he has to deal with the little brother-in-law, and he is stared at by the emperor, although there are some advantages to dressing as a beautiful brother, there are also a lot of disadvantages.

Chu Yu looked at Lin Piao: "Lin Piao, this matter is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it doesn't have much effect, if you have to do it, it costs so much manpower and material resources, what can you give me." ”

"I'll give you a peanut." Lin Piao looked at his face, and his face was completely cold.

Fang Ming was beside him, sweating like rain for a moment, and hurriedly said: "This peanut rice with a little wine, the most comfortable day in the world, Your Majesty is willing to make this gun, from now on you have no worries, eat peanuts, drink a little wine, and have endless fun." ”

Chu Yu laughed, looking at Lin Piao's expression, he knew that this was not what he meant, but now Lin Piao was like a fried kitten, Huchen's whereabouts were unknown, and he was anxious to make a better weapon, so eager, so anxious.

Didn't Shen Hong comfort him?

He is so fragile now, he should drink the tranquilizer and stay at home, sleep on the bed in peace, and wait for his master to come back to comfort him and coax him.

Of course, if he didn't run out and show his teeth and claws, Chu Yu wouldn't have seen him so cute.

"Huchen's matter, I am also very sad, you first have a good rest, these things later, if you are tired, go to the next dormitory to rest, there is no one to live, you can stay as long as you want."

Lin Piao glanced at the emperor: "Your Majesty, but Weichen still has something to do, so he will retreat first." ”

Fang Ming hurriedly pouted two salutes, followed Lin Piao's buttocks, and hurriedly walked out.

It wasn't until he left the palace gate and saw that there was no space nearby that he lowered his voice and said, "What's the matter, there is something wrong with this emperor?" ”

Lin Piao scolded angrily: "There is something wrong with him, there is no good thing in being the emperor, this position is perverted!" ”

"It's scary for me to look at you like you." Fang Ming observed Lin Piao's expression and wondered if Lin Piao had discovered this matter, this kind of important matter could be detected and treated early.

"Leave him alone, he is hungry for me, there are so many people in his harem, and he doesn't have time to bird me." Lin Piao scoffed.

Fang Ming: "......"

It's a complicated relationship between monarchs and ministers.

"Big brother, you...... Cattle. Forced. ”

Lin Piao was very annoyed, he wanted to push forward the development of this era, but he didn't expect to receive a big rejection directly, is it fate that this kind of thing cannot appear in this era, so no one in this era can accept this thing well.

Fang Ming looked at Lin Piao's expression, the whole thing was already very tense and smelly, just now he even said in front of the emperor that he would eat peanuts for you, so frightened that he almost couldn't breathe, if it wasn't for the emperor not understanding this kind of code language, they would have been dragged out and beheaded immediately.

"Big brother, don't be too anxious, Erzhu will definitely be fine."

Even if something really happens, making the gun right away won't change anything.

This is a very cruel fact, but he has to face it, Fang Ming knows that the matter of Erzhu has made everyone in this family very anxious, but it has happened, and there is no other choice but to wait for the result.

Lin Piao took a deep breath and wanted to turn the world upside down.

Before this, he had always felt that although Chu Yu was a very fucked person, but by objective standards, he was a good emperor after all, but this time Erzhu had an accident, Erzhu was a general, even if the emperor had no personal feelings with Erzhu, and his generals suddenly had an accident, he could still be so calm, just like a chess piece falling outside the chessboard, and he didn't even plan to pick it up, it all depended on the fate of this chess piece.

If things continue, people will become more indifferent year by year, and in a few years, Chu Yu doesn't know what will become of them, how will they be accommodated at that time?

The two had already left the palace and got into the carriage, Lin Piao looked at Fang Ming: "We have to have our own foundation, the emperor is not a reliable person, he may not get anything in the end after working for him for more than ten years, he likes to take advantage of others too much, he is not a good person." ”

Fang Ming sighed: "Alas, the emperor is like this, but as a courtier, it is too difficult to check and balance the emperor and forcibly suppress the emperor to prevent the emperor from going crazy." ”

It's only been less than half a day, and Fang Ming's white moonlight filter for Chu Yu has been broken like this, and sure enough, dying early is the essence, and it is easy to fall into mediocrity if you live too long.

They went all the way back to the house, Lin Piao looked at Fang Ming: "I asked Shen Hong to find a relationship, we will pull a small project to do by ourselves, we will develop our own guns, this thing is in our hands, and when we see it, we will see who asks whom." ”

Fang Ming nodded, a little under the pressure of being swept up by Lin Piao, his feelings for this era are still very weak, and he doesn't have much feeling for the people here, there is no way to be like Lin Piao, because a person's death bursts out with so much energy and hard work.

Lin Piao saw that he was in a bad state, he was currently □□, he poked and jumped, and he didn't care about him, let him go down to rest first, and when Shen Hong came back in the afternoon, Lin Piao told Shen Hong about it.

Shen Hong naturally agreed, now that everyone in the family is very nervous, Lin Piao wants to do something, but he has no reason to refuse.

They stayed up like this in Beijing for another week, and a new letter arrived, fortunately it was delivered to Shen Hong first, otherwise he was really afraid that he would not have the courage to open it.

Shen Hong read the letter, so he sent people everywhere to report, and the first thing he said when he entered the door was that General Huchen was fine.
