After scolding, Chen Chao kicked Murong Chong again, and then boarded the carriage and went straight back to the house.

In the carriage, Chen Chao couldn't help but smile when he recalled what had just happened.

In fact, he is quite similar to Murong Chong in some aspects.

For example, if you fall in love with a woman, you have to spare no effort to get it, no matter how difficult it is, and you will not look back.

Soon after, Chen Chao returned to the newly renovated mansion in Changle Fang.

At this time, the house was not fully completed, and there were still many workers entering and exiting through the side doors, and it was being repaired as much as possible according to the requirements of the Chen Dynasty.

The main entrance of the mansion.

Xu Hongdou, who was wearing a light cyan skirt and tied up her woman's hair, waited at the door early.

Seeing the carriage stop, she hurriedly walked down the steps and greeted Chen Chao back home with a smile.

Chen Chao held her hand and jumped out of the carriage, "How many times have you said it, don't deliberately wait here." ”

Xu Hongdou shook her head and said that she was willing to wait.

In the house of Changle Fang, Xu Hongdou was the first to move in, and there was only one wedding between Chen Chao and her.

"How is Xiangye feeling today? Are you feeling better? Xu Hongdou opened his red lips lightly and said with concern.

She asked about Chen Chao's body.

That Gu was brought to the Chu State by her.

If Chen Chao had any accidents, she would not be able to escape responsibility, so she cared more about Chen Chao's body than Chen Chao himself.

"It's still like that, don't worry, it's okay, it's really okay." Chen Chao emphasized.

He knew exactly how he was doing, but he just didn't want Xu Hongdou to worry.

Holding Xu Hongdou's hand, the two entered the gate and came to the back house.

Under Xu Hongdou's service, Chen Chao changed into a regular suit, and went to the study to deal with government affairs with a simple meal.

Xu Hongdou clenched his little hand tightly, stood at the door, raised his eyes to look at Chen Chao who was immersed in government affairs in the study, and his thoughts drifted away.

She thought, if Chen Chao was not so good to her, and killed her directly after meeting for the first time that night in Nanshan Manor, would the current Chen Dynasty not be fooled?

Even without her help, Chen Chao could still easily defeat Li Yu.

He has always been the powerful prime minister!

On the outside, the wife is virtuous and the child is cute, until he dies naturally.

Where will it be like now, his health is already very bad, but he doesn't want her to worry and doesn't say anything.

What's more, there are too many things he has to worry about now, the entire Daji, the whole country he has to shoulder on his shoulders, he wants Daji to become better and stronger - but not many people understand him, people scold him for being a traitor, controlling the government, covering the sky with one hand, violent methods, and too murderous.

But this was the only way to revival for Daki, and he had to do it.

After Xu Hongdou really understood Chen Chao, he knew that this man was not only glamorous on the surface, but in fact, behind the scenes, he was no easier than anyone else.

What the hell is he trying to do?

Xu Hongdou couldn't figure it out.

Xu Hongdou didn't want him to be so tired......

She wanted to do something to help him, she was unwilling to hide under the wings of Chen Chao in the future, to be cared for and loved.

She wants to turn into a sword and cut through all obstacles for him!

……

……

Evening.

Han Zhong hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xu Hongdou had never seen Han Zhong's face so anxious, and he didn't even pay attention to greeting him, Xu was in a hurry.

Chen Chao was reviewing the excerpts in his study.

The stack of folds on the table in front of him was already above his head, and he was about to bury his whole body in it.

Stomp –

The sound of footsteps came, Han Zhong came to him with the hem of his robe, and immediately opened his mouth and said, "Xiangye, good news." ”

Hearing this, Chen Chao raised his head, stood up and stretched his waist and arms, stretched a big lazy waist, and then led Han Zhong to the side of the tea house to take a seat.

"Old Han, sit."

Chen Chao said weakly.

The two sat opposite each other, Han Zhong couldn't wait to take out a book from his arms, treat it as a treasure, hand it to Chen Chao with both hands, and said:

"Xiangye, this is something that my seventh junior sister sent over, saying that it has a miraculous effect on suppressing Gu poison."

"She is currently chasing and killing the enemy, and she can't go to Beijing to explain the Gu to Xiang Ye for the time being, but she sent someone to send a secret book, saying that Xiang Ye can practice first, which can alleviate the growth of Gu worms and delay the outbreak of Gu poison......"

"When she solves the enemy, she will go to Beijing immediately."

Chen Chao stretched out his hand to take the book, looked at it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows

Immediately blurted out, Chen Chao asked, "Old Han, is this seventh junior sister of yours called Xiaolongnu?" ”

Han Zhong was stunned for a moment and frowned.

"Why did Xiangye say that?"

Chen Chao stretched out his hand and pointed to the name of the book, and on the cover of the book, four big characters were impressively printed:

"The Jade Girl's Heart Sutra"!

"Who is the little dragon girl?"

Han Zhong scratched his head, not very understanding.

Chen Chao waved his hand, and did not explain much, but opened the heart sutra and looked at it roughly, and said as he read it:

"Elder Han, your seventh junior sister specializes in Gu? Know how to solve Gu? ”

Han Zhong nodded, but quickly shook his head.

Chen Chao didn't understand what he meant.

Han Zhong took a sip of tea and explained, "The Seventh Senior Sister is not specialized in the study of Gu, but has been involved in all the martial arts in the world, all sects and factions, and her talent is extremely high, and her research on Gu is also quite deep. ”

Chen Chao was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Martial arts wizard? ”

Han Zhong waved his hand, "That's not it, she just has nothing to do, she just likes to read, especially all kinds of martial arts cheats, she knows everything, but she is not very proficient in anything." ”

"Oh."

Chen Chao nodded, turned another page, and glanced at it cursoryly.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Chen Chao closed the book, indicating that he would start practicing tonight.

Han Zhong also said that he would accompany him tonight, in case something went wrong with Chen Chaolian's "Jade Maiden's Heart Sutra", he would stop it as soon as possible.

Seeing Han Zhong again, Chen Chao had many questions to ask.

It's not about his physical condition, it's about the big killer that the Chen Dynasty has always had.

Gunpowder!

Looking at the major events that the Chen Dynasty has done in the past few years, whether it is winning more with less in Yunzhou, defeating bandits at Yongguan, capturing Chu Yan alive and forcing Chu to retreat, or in Jinling, the heart of the enemy country, facing layers of Chu Royal Forest Army, Chen Chao can retreat with his whole body.

The heroes are gunpowder!

And gunpowder has always been in charge of Han Zhong's production.

However, with gunpowder, Chen Chao was not satisfied, he wanted hot weapons to be produced as soon as possible and equipped with the army.

"How's the musket going? When will it be built? ”

Chen Chao asked.

Han Zhong's face stiffened, and he was embarrassed:

"There are some difficulties, although there are drawings drawn by Xiangye, and there are all kinds of parts, but under the existing conditions, it is still very difficult to make the kind of parts with extremely high precision, and it is difficult to manufacture the hollow barrel alone."

Chen Chao thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it, send more people, work overtime to do it, the gunpowder will leak out one day, and when our enemy gets the gunpowder, we will not have any advantage, we must always be one step ahead of our enemy." ”

"Not only muskets, but also artillery must be developed quickly."

"Yes."

Han Zhong responded, thought about it, and said, "Actually, there is a person who may be able to help Xiangye." ”

"Hou Ji?" Chen Chao waved his hand, "Forget it, it's a half-ass, it's okay to make hidden weapons." ”

At the beginning, Chen Chao showed the grenades, muskets and artillery drawings to Hou Ji and asked him to try, after all, Hou Ji's self-made hidden arrows were extremely powerful and extremely delicate, Chen Chao thought that Hou Ji could successfully complete the task, but it turned out that Hou Ji could not make a musket.

"It's not Hou Ji."

Han Zhong shook his head decisively and said a name:

"Queen Mother, Murong Yue!"

“？”

A small question mark slowly popped up on Chen Chao's forehead, and he frowned, "She? Why Yue'er? ”

"It's the Queen Mother."

Han Zhong nodded and explained:

"In the past few years, the old slave has been investigating where the existing disciples of the Baijie Sect are, this Baijie Sect specializes in weapon casting, and in this world, there is no weapon that they can't create."

"But Xiangye also knows that this family of rivers and lakes is now struggling to breathe, hiding in Tibet, and it is really difficult to find."

"But just last year, the old slave asked his friends on the rivers and lakes to find some clues, more than ten years ago, Mrs. Murong, that is, the mother of the Queen Mother Murong Yue, she once saved a disciple of Baijiemen......"

Listening to this, Chen Chao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he secretly pondered.

Murong Yue...... It seems that he is proficient in carving, and the wooden figure he has seen alone is not something that ordinary people can carve.

This craft ......

Is it inherited from Baijiemen?

Looks like there's time to ask.
