146. Playing with artillery to cause trouble

Just when Ling Xue was embarrassed, Xi Siqi on the side seemed to see something.

Then he said to Du Yi:

"Other girls' hearts, what are you doing with a big man asking so much!"

Du had no choice but to say to Ling Xue:

"Sister Ling Xue, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you what's on my mind!"

Ling Xue calmed down at this time, but she could still see the rosy on her face, so she said:

"Brother Du is fine, I just suddenly felt uncomfortable!"

Du Buyi felt that he reached out and touched Ling Xue's forehead, and said:

"Sister Ling Xue, your forehead is indeed a little hot, why don't we take you to see Lang Zhong now!"

Ling Xue replied:

"I'm fine, Brother Du, don't worry about me!"

Du did not forget but insisted on taking Ling Xue to see Lang Zhong, and at this time, Xi Siqi said:

"Don't go, I'll take Sister Ling Xue to see Langzhong!"

Then he got up and walked to Ling Xue's side and said:

"Sister Ling Xue, let's go, let's go see Lang Zhong!"

Then he glanced at Ling Xue, Ling Xue understood herself, and then went downstairs with Xi Siqi.

After Xi Siqi and Ling Xue went downstairs, they said as they walked:

"Sister Ling Xue, I know you have a sweetheart!"

Ling Xue replied:

"Sister Xi, how do you know?"

Xi Siqi asked directly:

"Sister Ling Xue, what you like is not to forget!"

Ling Xue was stunned for a moment, and she was embarrassed to speak.

Xi Siqi said again:

"It's okay, a man who doesn't have three wives and four concubines, as long as you don't mind Sister Ling Xue, we can serve together in the future and not forget!"

Ling Xue replied:

"I can't ruin the relationship between you and Brother Du!"

Xi Siqi smiled and said:

"If it's easy to destroy, why should I be with him, Ling Xue has such a good personality and kindness, I like a girl like you, if you dislike it, how about we worship as sisters!"

Ling Xue replied:

"Of course you can, Sister Xi, I've had this idea for a long time!"

Xi Siqi replied:

"That's it, you will be my own sister from now on, I have been the only daughter in the family since I was a child!"

Ling Xue also said:

"Me too!"

Then Xi Siqi touched Ling Xue's head and said:

"Then we are sisters now, then you will have to listen to your sister in the future!"

Ling Xue replied:

"Of course, Sister Xi, you are big with me, of course I listen to you!"

Xi Siqi said again:

"You even like not to forget, so can you promise me that you will serve him with me after marrying him?"

Ling Xue hesitated and said:

"Sister Xi, I can promise you everything else, but I can't make up my mind about this matter, I have to make a decision from my master!"

Xi Siqi smiled and said:

"Alright, let's go back now!"

Then the two of them walked back to the restaurant.

Du Bu didn't forget to see that the two of them came back so soon, so he asked curiously:

"Have you seen Lang Zhong, what did Lang Zhong say!"

Xi Siqi replied:

"We've seen Lang Zhong, and Lang Zhong said that Ling Xue is fine, just greedy for some spicy things!"

Du did not forget to say:

"I see!"

Then he said to Ling Xue:

"Sister Ling Xue, don't eat indiscriminately these days, you know?"

Ling Xue nodded, and then the few people began to eat again.

I ate it until dark.

At this time, Fu Tianchen suddenly stood up and said to everyone:

"We almost forgot, today is the night of the king of Chinese New Year's Eve, should we celebrate!"

When everyone heard that tonight was Chinese New Year's Eve, they were all happy.

Du did not forget and said:

"Shouldn't we go around and buy something to celebrate?"

Everyone nodded, and went downstairs to continue shopping.

Unconsciously, a few people walked to a crowded place in the south of Shaoxing City.

Du did not forget to ask a passer-by:

"What's going on up ahead, so lively?"

Passers-by replied:

"Someone celebrates by setting off cannons on the city walls outside the city, and I heard that this kind of cannon can explode when it is released, and it doesn't need to be ignited, and the power is amazing?"

Fu Tianchen on the side also came over and asked this passerby:

"Why is the artillery so powerful now?"

Passers-by replied:

"Don't talk about it, I'll go see it first!"

Then he ran ahead.

Du Yi smiled and said to a few behind him:

"Let's watch the excitement too!"

Then followed.

Because of Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire Shaoxing city wall allowed the people in the city to go up to visit and celebrate tonight.

Du Bu Bu and a few people also crowded to the city wall with the crowd, only to see that there was a section of the wall in front of which was guarded by several soldiers, and nearly ten cannons were arranged in turn, and the muzzle of the cannon was naturally outside the city.

I saw a soldier next to each cannon, and then each soldier held a long ball with an exposed lead head in his hand.

Then, listening to the general's order, these soldiers immediately put the long ball into the artillery, and then stepped on an iron plate on the ground, and the long ball ejected, and the result exploded in mid-air, illuminating a colorful fire in front of them, which was very dazzling and beautiful!

Du Bu Bu saw that Xi Siqi, Ling Xue, Ling Lu and Fu Tianchen were all intoxicated by it, so he said to a few people:

"Why don't we go play too?"

Xi Siqi looked at Du Yifu, and said:

"Do you think these cannons are what our people can play with if they want?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Not necessarily, you see me!"

He walked directly forward and shouted to the generals in front:

"General, what if the people are looking for you?"

When the general heard this, he came over, looked at Du Yifu, and said:

"Do you have the right general Ben?"

Du did not forget to whisper in the general's ear:

"General, let's find a place with fewer people!"

Then he deliberately opened a bag of silver and quietly shook it in front of the general.

The general saw the silver, and his eyes lit up, and he said:

"Okay!"

Then he came to the city tower where there was no one.

Du Cheng did not forget to say to the general first:

"If the general agrees to let us play with the cannon twice, I will give you all this silver!"

Then he handed the general a bag of silver.

The general took the bag of silver, stared at it and counted it, and found that there were a hundred taels, and his eyes were dumbfounded.

Then he calmed down a little more and said:

"The imperial court stipulates that artillery and civilians are not allowed to approach, so many people are watching, General Ben has no way to break the rules!"

Du did not forget to think about it and said:

"It's not simple, the general will let the idle soldiers come out and borrow our clothes, and we are just trying to have a fresh game!"

The general hesitated, looked at the silver again, made up his mind, and said:

"Okay, but you have to hurry!"

Then he put away the money.

Du Buyi came over to ask a few people who wanted to play with artillery, but Ling Xue was afraid to play, and the other three were bolder.

Seeing this, Du Buyi returned to the place where no one was just now with Xi Siqi, Fu Tianchen and Ling Lu.

At this time, the general had already arranged several soldiers, and when he saw the four of them, he took off four sets of clothes and armor and came out to put them on.

Then the four of them, Xi Siqi and Du Buzhi, as well as Fu Tianchen and Ling Lu, stood on the two forts respectively, so there were soldiers who carried two baskets of shells behind several people.

At this time, the general reminded several people:

"You must not touch the head of the shell, otherwise your life will be in danger!"

Du Buyi and Fu Tianchen on the side both nodded.

Du Buyi picked up a cannonball in the frame first, handed it to Xi Siqi and said:

"Sith, you can try!"

Xi Siqi looked at the cannonball, but was a little scared, and then didn't dare to continue.

Du Bu Bu gently put the cannonball on the ground, grabbed Xi Siqi's hands, and then gently picked up the cannonball from the ground, at this time Xi Siqi was extremely nervous, Du Bu Bu comforted:

"Don't worry, it's okay!"

Then he grabbed Xi Siqi's hand, put the cannonball directly into the fort, and then motioned for Xi Siqi to step on the iron plate and fire!

Xi Siqi hesitated, closed her eyes and stepped on the iron plate under her feet, and the cannonball was fired.

Du Buyi immediately said to Xi Siqi:

"Hurry up and open your eyes, you see how beautiful it is ahead!"

Xi Siqi dared to open his eyes at this time, and sure enough, the cannonball he had just fired in front of him was now exploded into a colorful light, and he shouted unconsciously:

"It's so beautiful!"

Du Cheng said to him:

"Now that you know it's okay, try it yourself!"

Xi Siqi was a little more bold at this time, and then he fired another cannonball as he had just done.

On the side, Ling Lu said enviously to Fu Tianchen:

"We're going to play too!"

Then the two of them began to fire cannonballs as well.

At this time, the general on the side saw that a few people were having fun, and fired nearly half of the shells in the basket, so he reminded a few people:

"Don't you guys stop playing, didn't you promise General Ben to only fire two shots, and now it's already exceeded!"

A few people ignored the general, and waited until they finished firing the shells in the frame to enjoy themselves.

At this time, the general came over angrily and said to Du Yi:

"You're firing so many shells now, how can I deal with the commander?"

Du did not forget to whisper to the general:

"Isn't that enough for me to give you a hundred taels of silver?"

The general replied:

"Of course not enough!"

Du did not forget and whispered back:

"Alright then, I'll make it up to you tomorrow!"

The general came over and stopped a few of them, and said:

"No, you must bring another hundred taels of silver now, or don't want to leave!"

Then he motioned for the soldiers to come around.

Du Cheng said to the general again:

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, there is no need for this, if you really dare to arrest us, I will tell these masses that you, the general guarding the city, have privately accepted bribes from the people!"

The general smiled and said:

"Do you think you still have a chance to threaten General Ben?"

Then he said to the crowd on the wall:

"General Ben wants to catch bandits, idle people, please leave quickly, so as not to be injured by mistake!"

At this time, the surrounding crowd dispersed, and the general smiled and said to Du Buzhi:

"Grab yourselves!"

Du did not forget to reply with Fu Tianchen on the side:

"Impossible!"

Then several people were preparing to fight with the officers and soldiers defending the city.

At this time, a voice shouted:

"Wait!"

Don't forget to take a look, isn't this person Wang Yangming the royal chief!

Directly the royal chief, riding a horse and rushing to the city wall, came down from the horse, and then the general hurried down and saluted the royal chief, saying:

"Wang Shangshu, why are you here!"

Wang Yangming looked at the general and said:

"Bold Xu Shiqi, dare to embezzle and accept bribes in the city!"

Then he said to the soldiers beside him:

"Don't take this Xu Shiqi yet!"

It turned out that the general guarding the city was called Xu Shiqi.

When the soldiers heard this, they looked at Wang Yangming again, and they didn't dare to disobey, so they quickly arrested Xu Shiqi.

Wang Yangming said to these soldiers again:

"Put him in prison first, and send him to the Yamen of the Nanjing Criminal Department for interrogation tomorrow!"

And Du Buyi and the others were overjoyed at this time, and then Ling Xue ran over and said to Du Buxing:

"You almost got yourself in trouble, but fortunately, I saw something bad just now, so I hurried back to inform Wang Daochang, so that you could avoid getting into trouble!"

Du Cheng said to Ling Xue:

"It turned out that you went to call Wang Daochang to save us, it's so timely, thank you so much, otherwise we would have almost offended the officers and soldiers of Shaoxing City again!"
