Zuotou's face hesitated for a while, and when he was about to speak, he heard a "bang, bang" gunfire in the distance.

Dong Huai was surprised for a moment, and the true yuan on his body suddenly appeared, and he immediately blocked the bullet.

Lu Wende's figure on his side flashed, and he had already swept into the distance, and shouted in his mouth: "The villain is gone." Dong Huai saw that Lu Wende had already made a move, and he couldn't help but stop, but when he turned to look at the side of his head, he saw that this person was already vomiting blood in his mouth, and he fell to the ground, and a little blood hole on his forehead was exposed, and red and white things flowed out, obviously dead and couldn't die anymore.

"It's not me, it seems, it's here to keep it shut up. If so, who did it?"

Dong Huai was stunned for a while, and his thoughts were complicated.

He also knows that after hundreds of years, various forces in the army are entangled and entangled, the generals inherited from the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as many warlords when the Southern Song Dynasty was founded, and the heroes and heroes who have now entered the army for various reasons, the three forces are confronted and entangled with each other, and they have already divided the Southern Song Dynasty army into their own territories.

But the Mongols are about to move south, and it would be a joke to defend against them with such a thing.

Dong Huai knew that this reorganization of the army was sinister, but if he did not strive for reform, then the Southern Song Dynasty would really not be able to support it anymore.

After thinking about it for a long time, Dong Huai moved his legs, and he had already come to the place where Lu Wende was, and when he stared at it, he saw corpses all over the ground, and he was surprised: "Are they all dead?" and look at these corpses, the corners of their mouths are foaming, and the hall is blue, obviously they have been poisoned and died.

"Looks like they've all taken the poison they've prepared. Lu Wende leaned down and carefully checked everyone's breath, and he could only shake his head at Dong Huai's inquiring gaze.

Although Dong Huai felt annoyed, his eyes fell on the weapons used by these people, and asked, "It seems that they should have used this kind of firearm to kill that head?" Leaned down and picked up a gun, Dong Huai carefully examined it.

This gun is not the same as the firearms equipped in the Song Dynasty army, the chamber made of pig iron is dark in color, and it is covered with scratches, which is obviously not new, and the handguard used to support it is also a little old, and there are some symbols engraved on it, I don't know what it represents.

Lu Wende glanced at it, and then complained: "If the last general is not mistaken, this firearm should be made by the Red Phoenix Army." ”

"No wonder they were able to confront the Mongols. To be able to make such a sharp weapon, it must not be an ordinary person. Dong Huai's eyebrows jumped, he couldn't hide the surprise in his heart, and he also had a high opinion of Xiao Feng, who dared to confront everyone in the court that day, and then he was even more puzzled in his heart: "Since this is the case, then why did the Red Phoenix Army sneak into this place and shoot that head?"

The Chifeng Army is not the Song Army, and it has no connection with the DPRK and China, so it should not do such a thing.

Lu Wende looked embarrassed, and immediately complained: "In my opinion, I'm afraid that it is not the Red Phoenix Army who did this, but maybe someone from our army." ”

"Why?"

"Because in the past, when the Red Phoenix Army was surrounded and intercepted by the Nameng army, in order to relieve the difficulties in the army, they used to trade with us with many firearms in exchange for food to survive the disaster. According to the following opinion, it is at that time that these guns should have entered the army. Lu Wende replied slowly.

"I see. But this gun is invaluable, and one gun can be hundreds of times, which must be beyond the reach of ordinary people. In this way, there are only a few people who shot this time. Dong Huai was a little angry, but when he thought of the strength of the other party, he couldn't bring down the other party just by relying on the death of a mere head.

And the other party's current action is only afraid that it is more of a deterrent!

Lu Wende stood on the side, secretly looking at Dong Huai, his heaving chest, and the tightened eyebrows, it was obvious that the person in front of him was in great anger, so he asked in a low voice: "What do you think? Is it reported to the imperial court?"

"Nope. Let's start by looking at the manufacture of firearms. ”

Unexpectedly, Dong Huai shook his head, and did not intend to report the matter to the official family, because he knew that with such a person, he could not bring down the other party at all, and the most important thing now was to seize the time and solve the problem of corruption in the weapons prison, and the rest were secondary.

Lu Wende nodded, his eyes took a deep look at those dead assassins, and secretly thought in his heart: "No matter what, for both sides, like us, they are just chess pieces." Since it's just a chess piece, can it only act according to the arrangement of the chess piece?" clenched his five fingers suddenly, but at this moment he made up his mind that he must climb up, only in this way can he climb out of this bottom and become a superior who can dominate others.

Dong Huai didn't pay attention to Lu Wende's condition, in fact, his eyes were attracted by the firearms workshop in front of him.

In this firearms workshop, there are hundreds of stoves, and the charcoal fire in the furnace is constantly coming out of it, burning the air like a wave, constantly tumbling and lapping on the skin, making people feel extremely hot. There were about three or four craftsmen beside each of the stoves, their arms bare, and a boar's skin draped in front of them to keep out the flying sparks. When the red-hot rod was taken out of the furnace, they swung the hammer in their hand, and with a "bang" sparks flew and fireworks flew out, so that the rod was completely transformed into the shape they needed.

It's just that Dong Huai saw this scene, but felt a little strange, so he instructed the overseer beside him: "You go and get the roster, and I'll see if it's all there." ”

It's just an ordinary sentence, but the overseer is drenched in cold sweat.

Lu Wende also felt strange, and opened his mouth to shout: "Lord Dong asked you to take the roster, why are you frozen here? Don't you even dare to disobey Shangshu's words?"

This reprimand immediately made the overseer fall to his knees with a "bang", his body trembling like a sieve, and his two eyes were colorless, purring and turning, looking panicked.

Seeing you like this, isn't there something hidden here?" Seeing this scene, Dong Huai was reminded of his memory in the Ordnance Supervision Arrow Academy, and poked his finger directly on the other party's head, and shouted: "If you don't tell me the truth today, then don't blame me for being unkind." ”

Poked by that finger, the overseer only felt that his soul had floated out, but he fainted directly.

"Damn, these guys, what's going on? One by one, they're either dead or fainting, do you think you can prevaricate in this way?" Dong Huai couldn't stop being annoyed, and scolded directly.

This was also seen by the craftsmen, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked at them.

After Dong Huai felt his breath calm down a little, he pointed to the open space in front of him and said loudly: "Everyone, all put down their work and stand here for me." I have something to ask you. Then he turned his head and instructed Lu Wende: "You go and search out the roster and account books here, I want to see what these bastards have done, they are so afraid?"

"Order!"

Lu Wende replied with his jaw, swept the supervisor under his feet, and felt an itch in his mouth, and spit directly on the other party's face.

After those craftsmen heard this, they all came to Dong Huai.

They also noticed the luxurious clothes on Dong Huai's body, and when they saw that the guy who had been powerful on their head actually fainted to the ground, they felt a little flustered, and their eyes at Dong Huai were also dodgy, not daring to force their eyes, and they also muttered to themselves.

"Who is this? Looking at what he is wearing, I'm afraid it's not small. It's just that why is he suddenly interested in coming to us?"

"No matter what. What does it have to do with us anyway? I just hope this time, we won't be too tired. ”

"That's right. All the work is forced to be done, and there is no time to rest, what is this?"

“......”

These words were all heard by Dong Huai, which also made him feel more and more embarrassed.

If the entire ordnance prison becomes like this, to be honest, it has nothing to do with these craftsmen, but Dong Huai knows that the scene in front of him has a deeper relationship, so he is not willing to punish these craftsmen more.

They are lonely enough, if even the breadwinner is taken away, how can they live?

Dong Huai was even more hot when he thought about how to place these craftsmen, and wanted to ask the reason.

After a while, Lu Wende also walked out of the overseer's mansion, holding a few thread-bound books in his hands, which were the roster and account books here.

Dong Huai took the roster and account books, and asked, "Are you sure how many people there are here?"

"Tell Master Dong. According to the roster, there should be one thousand and sixty-one craftsmen here, but—" Looking sideways at the workers, Lu Wende felt a little embarrassed.

With his eyes, how could he not see that there were far less than a thousand craftsmen here, at best only five or six hundred.

"One thousand and sixty-one people, is there only so little left in the end?" Dong Huai forced the anger in his heart, and swept his eyes over those craftsmen, but he felt dizzy in front of him.

Closing the roster, Lu Wende's eyes drooped, and he replied helplessly: "It should be." ”

Dong Huai felt a little helpless, and his gaze swept over the faces of these craftsmen, "What about those craftsmen who are lacking?"

It should have been an ordnance supervisor with a population of more than 1,000, but now there are only five or six hundred people left in front of him, and the absentees account for more than half of the entire factory.

In the face of all this, Dong Huai only felt that his shoulders were heavy, and sighed to himself: "It seems that in a short period of time, this group of people can't be counted on." ”
