Sailing all the way, it was already dark when the boat entered the territory of Jiangling, and Xu Beiyou did not rush ashore to enter the city, but decided to spend the night on the boat.
There was no extra room on the ship, and after barely vacating one, the scholar surnamed Xu was placed in it, and Li Qingping was in a room with Wu Yu.
After the lamp in the house, Li Qingping, who relaxed a little, was stunned when she saw Wu Yu, she didn't look at it carefully, but when she looked at it again, she suddenly found that Wu Yu was so beautiful, in all fairness, she was a first-class beauty, but compared with Wu Yu, it was still a step worse.
It is said that looking at beauties under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more moving it becomes, even if Li Qingping is a daughter, it is inevitable that she will be moved by two or three points at this time.
At the same time, she was also secretly surprised in her heart, in front of such a beauty, that white-headed boy could bear his temperament, and he was really not an ordinary person.
At this time, Xu Beiyou was standing on the deck, looking at the Jingjiang River in the moonlight at night.
Not long after, a dark guard dressed in black brocade crossed the Jingjiang River and boarded the deck, and arched his hand: "The inspector of the Huzhou Division of the Jiangnan Secret Guard Mansion has seen Xu Gongzi. โ
Xu Beiyou returned the salute with a fist, "Inspector Lao Zhao personally went on a trip." โ
Zhao Jianxing shook his head and did not speak.
As a person in the Secret Guard Mansion directly under His Majesty the Emperor, he can not take any first and second assistants to heart, and he can also ignore the military orders of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, but he must not listen to the words of his boss, before Xu Beiyou came to Huzhou, the Governor of the Dark Guard Mansion knew that Xie Suqing had already greeted him in advance, and he had to come if he didn't come.
Xu Beiyou walked towards the bow of the boat, and Zhao Jianxing was half a position behind him, following closely behind.
It was not until he walked to the bow of the boat that Xu Beiyou stopped and said with a smile: "If Inspector Zhao doesn't mind, he won't go to the cabin and stand here for a while." โ
Zhao Jianxing naturally didn't care about this.
Xu Beiyou opened his mouth and asked: "The Houjun Governor's Mansion is in Xiangyang, and the Secret Guard Mansion is in Jiangling, the well water of the two does not interfere with the river water, Inspector Zhao has lived in Jiangling for a long time, I think I know Jiangling very well, right?"
Zhao Jianxing nodded, and simply said a yes word.
Xu Beiyou then asked, "Has something happened to the Li family in Jiangling recently?"
Since the Secret Guard Mansion claims to be a detective in the world, then the affairs of the Li family naturally can't be hidden from their ears and eyes, Zhao Jianxing didn't have much entanglement with the Li family, and said directly: "Xu Gongzi is talking about the Li family's eldest lady Li Qingping's resistance to marriage, it's just a drama between a poor scholar and a rich lady, but this incident has caused a storm in the city, making the Li family very disgraceful." โ
Xu Beiyou smiled lightly: "I don't know which family's son is so unlucky? โ
After all, it is not a confidential matter, Zhao Jianxuan did not hesitate to conceal it: "It is a young man named Lu Fang of the Lu family, in the early years, the elder of his family and the head of the Li family were married, but after the elder died, the Lu family and the Li family did not have much contact, until this son of the Lu family won the second class and the first place in the Jinke, and then came to visit." โ
"Jiangnan Lu family?" Xu Beiyou remembered Lu Pu he met in the Shendu of Yuzhou, and said with a slight surprise: "Isn't that the remnant of the anti-thief wanted by the imperial court?"
Zhao Jianxing didn't expect Xu Beiyou to even know a thing or two about such confidential matters, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then explained: "After all, the Lu family is a big clan in the south of the Yangtze River, and the imperial court is not good at completely killing them, so since the first year of Chengping, they have only punished the descendants, and they don't ask about the side lines." The Lu side belongs to the collateral and is not among the arrests of the Dark Guard Mansion. โ
Xu Beiyou nodded abruptly, and asked again, "Where does this son of the Lu family live now?"
Zhao Jianxing said: "This person still has a bit of backbone, he has already fulfilled the marriage contract with the Li family in Mingyan, and left the Li family's mansion on the same day, temporarily living in an inn, and will probably leave Jiangling in a few days." โ
Xu Beiyou smiled: "Will the Li family be willing to swallow this breath?"
Zhao Jianxing also smiled and said: "Of course not, although this son of the Lu family is a new science and technology jinshi, it sounds very beautiful, but the champion is just a six-grade Hanlin, and the current Lu family is not the Lu family that leaned into the south of the Yangtze River in the early years, this young man may not be able to get out of Jiangling City." โ
Xu Beiyou squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand and picked up his only strand of black hair with his index finger, playing with the taste: "Could it be that the Li family still wants to kill people and kill people?"
"Not really. Zhao Jianxing shook his head and said, "But it is possible to force the two to get married." โ
Xu Beiyou couldn't help but sneer, "Lang is reluctant, women don't want to, and livestock pairing is nothing more than that, like something." โ
Zhao Jianxing coughed lightly and did not agree.
Xu Beiyou didn't dwell too much on this topic, and instead said, "Mr. Xie said earlier that he wanted to give me a gift. โ
Before Zhao Jianxing came, he also brought a delicate wooden box, and at this time he offered it with both hands, "Before coming down, Lord Tongzhi had specially instructed that this thing be transferred to Xu Gongzi." โ
Xu Beiyou took the wooden box and opened it casually, and inside it was a three-eyed fire gun cast from copper.
The three-eyed gun is a kind of short firearm that flourished in the Dazheng period, it is made of iron or crude steel pouring, the shape is three bamboo-like single guns, each gun tube has a small hole on the outside, add gunpowder in the gun tube when used, and finally fill the steel ball or cast iron block, broken iron sand, etc., add a fire cap at the small hole, and knock the fire cap towards the stone and other launch pads when used, detonate and charge the gunpowder to launch the projectile.
The three guns can shoot in turns, and there is a handle base at the tail of the three-eyed gun, and wooden poles of different lengths are installed to hold it to ensure the safety of the shooter.
It's just that the three-eyed gun has a short range, and it can't compare to the bow and crossbow, and the reloading speed is too slow, so it is not equipped on a large scale, but only used in a small area in the Tianji Battalion.
Of course, the three-eyed gun in Xu Beiyou's hand now is not quite the same as the ordinary three-eyed gun, not only is it luxurious in appearance, but also omits the process of percussion of the fire cap, but instead uses something called a trigger, as long as you gently hook your fingers, you can trigger the gunpowder in the gunpowder.
With Xu Beiyou's current realm cultivation, he naturally doesn't need this kind of thing, but he is very interested in these firearms, as early as when he was in Jiangdu, he collected three bird guns and a Lianzhu gun, if it weren't for the Tiger Zun Cannon and the Shenwei General Cannon, which were too difficult to find, he wouldn't mind buying two.
Xu Beiyou gently stroked the three-eyed gun, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "I heard that this new three-eyed gun was personally improved by His Royal Highness King Wei?"
Zhao Jianxing nodded and said: "Today's Wei ** army is almost all equipped with such three-eyed guns, and there are even special firearms battalions, each battalion has 400 people, divided into four sides, 100 people on each side, and all lieutenants are under the command, a total of four captains. Under the captain, it was divided into four teams, with 25 people in the team, and the captain was in charge, with a total of 16 captains. There were 10 cannons on each side, 40 cannons on all sides, and two cannons on one side, for a total of 80 gunners. There were 80 three-eyed guns on each side and 320 three-eyed guns on each side, making a total of 320 gunners. There is one cannon between ten cannons for each gun, a total of eight cannons, and the remaining two are located at the camp gate. โ

Zhao Jianxing couldn't hide his worry, "What is the power of firearms, Xu Gongzi should know very well, the King of Wei is heavy with firearms, and the army is established with firearms, facing the firearms battalion, except for the elite cavalry, the other armies have no strength to fight, if such a tiger and wolf army crosses the sea and lands on the shore, not to mention the commanders in those places, even if the Jiangnan army has not been in war for a long time, what chance of victory can it have?"
Xu Beiyou held the three-eyed gun and was stunned.
Xiao Jin, the king of Wei who has been dormant and endured for many years on the side of the big Qi couch.
Just look at the refreshing one
