The fourth episode of the legend of the cat ghost (54) - star effect
☆☆☆
Before Cai Xiaotong arrived, he had already opened his mouth and shouted: "Haha, that water dragon is really an artifact to extinguish fires! Dare to ask Lord Xiaolan, where did you get this thing?"
Chris smiled: "This 'water dragon' is not something I came up with!
Shen Kuo?Jian Xian felt strange, he had just met him in the palace, since he knew that I was in the same place with Lord Xiaolan to supervise the extinguishing of the fire, why didn't he mention it?
Chris was discussing the matter of the fierce fire oil tank with Shen Kuo as Ouyang Feng, and she naturally didn't want Jian Xian, Shen Kuo and others to link their two identities together, so she had already arranged her rhetoric. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"A few days off, I went to the West Market. "There are traders from all over the world in the West Market, and I found a clothing store and asked them to help change the style of our 'fire jacket', and also asked them to add a helmet with head and eye protection, so that the body can be more fully protected when fighting fires." When I got out of the clothing store, in a nearby timber store, I saw Lord Shen and a person from the Western Regions together, so I went to say hello and chatted casually. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, turned his head and said to the sword: "I suddenly remembered that you said that Lord Shen called that fierce fire oil oil, and thought it was quite funny, so I wanted to ask him, is it called "oil", is it because it is oil born from stones?"
Before Jian Shi could speak, Cai Xiaotong next to him said loudly and urgently: "Hey, I said Lord Xiaolan, can you stop talking nonsense, get to the point! I'm going to die in a hurry...... causing everyone to laugh.
Jian Yan laughed and said: "That's it, who wants to listen to your nonsense, get to the point!"
Chris pretended to pout aggrievedly, and then said, "When I talked to him about oil, I naturally talked about it from the fierce fire oil to the fierce fire oil tank. The man from the Western Regions next to Lord Shen suddenly said, since this fierce fire oil tank can spray oil, it should also be able to spray water, and it can be turned into a fire-extinguishing object! Lord Shen suddenly patted his head and said that this was a good idea. Later, the conversation broke up when it was almost dark! Who knew that a few days later, I went to the clothing store and saw Master Shen again. It turned out that he had specifically inquired with the shopkeeper and knew that I was coming to pick up the goods today, so he was waiting here. He said that he had made a water hose to extinguish the fire, and he wanted me to see it. After I went to Lord Shen's mansion to see it, I thought it was amazing. I pulled two units from Lord Shen early this morning, and I was going to demonstrate them to everyone when I had morning exercises tomorrow......!
She deliberately rolled her eyes at the sword.
The matter of Shen Kuo finding Lan Yuanxiao was also arranged by Chris. Ouyang Feng privately suggested to Shen Kuo, saying that the merit of making a "water dragon" cannot be monopolized. This Lord Xiaolan is a special envoy sent by the official family to supervise the fire administration, and if the 'Water Dragon' is directly reported to the imperial court, it will steal the limelight from this lord. In this way, he might resent Lord Shen. It's better to be a favor and report the matter with him, firstly, so that he owes this favor, and secondly, by the way, to get on the line and make friends with this favorite minister in the palace, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. Shen Kuo thought about it, it was indeed the best of both worlds, so he "took the initiative" to find Lan Yuanxiao and presented the made "water dragon".
When Jian Yan heard this, he felt that "taking the initiative to offer the water dragon at every time" was really something that Shen Cunzhong could do, so he didn't continue to ask anything.
Chris said to Jian Yan: "As soon as I returned to the camp, you pulled me here, fortunately I didn't let Dai Ying unload the car, and directly brought this water dragon with me, but I didn't expect it to be really used." also saved your life, how do you say you want to reward the master this time?"
"Okay! I'll reward you a lot in Ming'er!" Jian Xi agreed quickly this time.
Chris still didn't believe it, and said to Huangfu Wuya: "Lord Huangfu, have you heard, he said that he would reward me heavily, you have to testify, you can't let him fall on it!"
Huangfu Wuya smiled and agreed.
Cai Xiaotong was more interested in the structure of the water dragon, so he asked.
Chris said: "Fortunately, there are children and fat planters, the situation is urgent just now, if it weren't for your strength, then the 'water dragon' would take a long time to complete the water!
The people of Wuban are used to the two bickering every day.
Chris talked about the principle of the water dragon in general, and Cai Xiaotong nodded frequently. It wasn't until Chris said that his mouth was dry, and Cai Tong interrupted them: "Enough! Xiao Tong, you are the deputy team, and you are pulling him hard to say that he is endless, can you notice that he is already exhausted and injured?"
Cai Xiaotong was stunned, he only cared about asking questions, but he didn't look at Lan Yuanxiao carefully. I saw him sitting on the ground, but the two trouser legs were the whitest, which were the ragon cloth, and the whiter it was, the more serious the burn wound was.
He looked ashamed, knowing that his father's criticism was right, and hurriedly said: "Someone, quickly carry Lord Xiaolan to see Doctor Yan!"
Waiting for the others to help Chris get up and leave, Jian Shi ran to the water dragon, and observed carefully, Cai Xiaotong went up to explain to him how he used it just now, and talked about the effect of the water spray.
After a while, Jian Shi came to Dr. Yan's medical car. Lifting the curtain, I saw the puppy holding the scald medicine and was giving Lan Yuanxiao medicine. Seeing that Lan Yuanxiao's legs were red from the fire, because his skin was already fairer than others, and now it looked like blood was about to ooze blood.
The puppy wiped it and complained: "Your leg is worse than my stepping on a fire! You also said that you want to 'protect the safety of personnel'! You didn't do it yourself!"
Chris smiled, the puppy learned modern vocabulary with himself, but faster than anyone else!
Jian Yan said: "But you were injured in that tunnel with a crossbow?"
Chris nodded and said, "Don't tell Dai Ying, it will save him from being uncomfortable!"
"You are like this, but you have not insulted his friendship that is willing to live and die and protect you!"
"Compare your heart to your heart!" Chris blinked, "By the way, your trick of breaking the slate is so powerful, I haven't seen it before!"
"Peck the sudden!" Jian Yan said arrogantly, "The 'Yan Pounce' and the 'Peck Rush' are just the simplest tricks, and the master has a lot of tricks, so what if you haven't seen it?"
Jianchang's kung fu emphasizes a "fast", and the moves are extremely gorgeous, although Chris has learned internal skills, he has never learned any moves, so naturally he is envious.
She exclaimed, "Oh my God, 'pecking' is the easiest trick?
"It's just a slate, and it's not a confrontation with a master, can you use a high move?"
Chris shouted in his heart: Master, when will you come back, I want to learn high tricks!
Looking at the posture of the Marquis in front of him, the puppy cub understood in seconds, and after taking the medicine, he was ready to leave.
Chris suddenly grabbed him and said in a low voice, "Thank you for today's events!"
The puppy's face turned red, and he didn't reply, so he withdrew from the medical car.
Sword Shop sat side by side with Chris.
Chris approached him and whispered, "Don't worry, I've already sent Brother Chu away." He said it must be all right, and I let him go! Only the puppy knew about it, and he promised to keep it a secret for me. ”
Only the puppy knows? I see Mengren open one eye and close one eye, I'm afraid that I know that the person you sent out is the left envoy of Mingjiao. And my relationship with Chu Zhen, it is estimated that Mengren also knew about it from the prince. No, maybe the relationship between the two of us was found by Mengren at all, and the prince already knew about it...... Jian Yan sighed and asked, "Do you know my relationship with Brother Chu?"
"Huh
"Don't you think it's inappropriate? I'm a fast catcher, he's ......."
Chris circled a wine cup with his hand and rattled on the edge of his mouth: "It's just a drinking friend, how can you be so exquisite!"
Jian Yan vaguely remembered the last time Chu Yi got together with him, he was already slightly drunk, and the massive legends of Uncle Cao Xiaoguo, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "You kid can really drink so much?"
"No, no, at most, you can't get drunk under normal circumstances!" Chris christened with a wicked grin.
"Oh, I'd like to see it!"
Suddenly, Jian Shi changed the subject and asked, "How do you know that you are going to save us there, and how can you be sure that you will be able to save us?"
"First question, when you came out of the cellar, your eyes were fixed on that place, so I guess you must have run back and wait there! You didn't hide there directly, you just felt that you didn't know the situation outside, and the hunt was almost gone, could it be that the submarine fire army was also transferred away from the mountain? Later, Cai Touer also said that there were girders on top of that place, which could last for a while and a half, and there were several pores, so the risk of 'backfire' was naturally smaller. Cristle paused and said, "The second question, I don't know if I will be able to save you." However, I'm going to go out first! Because with the help of the water dragon, the chances of winning five times will be greater. ”
Jian Yan thought about these words carefully: These are obviously all thought up by the stinky boy himself, but he wants to pull it on Cai Tou'er. He always speaks in a veiled manner, true and false. No, it's almost fair to say that the stinky boy never said a word of truth!
No one spoke for a long time, just waited quietly.
Jian Yanxin said: Although the fierce fire oil is burned, the matter is by no means over, and there are too many mysteries in it.
After a pause, Jian Yan asked in a deep voice, "You tell me, what is so special about that big house?
The tone of the last sentence was extraordinarily heavy, and after a long while, no one answered. Jian Shi turned his head to look, only to see that Lan Yuanxiao had fallen asleep.
Jian Yan's heart softened, and he sighed: "I really envy your ability to sleep this time!"
☆☆☆
The capital made two loud noises in succession, and the flames soared to the sky, and there was an uproar in the court. The next day, many ministers went to the court, calling it a heavenly punishment and a bad omen. However, this criticism was soon overwhelmed by the auspicious "water dragon" from the sky. Shen Kuo and Lan Yuanxiao jointly reported that the "fierce fire oil tank" had been successfully transformed into a "water dragon" to extinguish the fire, and hoped that the imperial court would order that the north and south workshops should be mass-produced and distributed to all teams of the submarine fire army.
The next day, Shen Kuo asked for a demonstration in front of the palace. When the emperor and ministers saw the effect of the "water dragon", they exclaimed again and again. Zeng Gongliang was amazed, and bluntly said that Shen Kuo transformed the "killing weapon" into a "sharp weapon" to save people, which is really the pillar of the country. The "water dragon" can be operated by only a few people, saving time and effort, and without the need for a ladder, it can extinguish the flames on the top of the main hall. The ministers saw the wind and turned the rudder, calling it a "miracle", and seconded Shen Kuo's request, and the dragon's heart was happy, and he immediately issued an order that Shen Kuo personally supervised the "water dragon" matter.
Of course, Zhao Kuo knew that Shen Kuo was Zhao Hao's person, but he still put him in charge of this matter because he knew that Shen Kuo was very ingenious and fond of inflammatory power, and in the eyes of Sima Guang and others, such a person of bad conduct was unworthy of an important position. Therefore, the imperial brother also took into account the opinions of these old ministers, and did not particularly promote this Shen Kuo, but just arranged a library position casually to do some errands for compiling classics and documents. In Zhao Ji's opinion, being able to create a "water dragon" means that this Shen Kuo has some "ability", and this time he can be greatly promoted to show his favor.
Zhao Ji smiled secretly, and said in his heart: Good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the master and do things, is the second brother good to you, or I am better to you, this comparison, the advantages and disadvantages are self-evident!
Then he picked up the fold again, looked at the signature behind Shen Kuo, and laughed. Lan Yuanxiao doesn't even know a few big characters, can he still come up with these methods? It must be Shen Kuo who wants to pat him on the back and put a name on him.
The emperor was in a good mood today, and with a stroke of his pen, he even approved Chris's plans for modifying the style of "fireproof clothing", as well as rectifying and occupying the road, and establishing a "special road" for the submarine fire army.
Since then, Wuban has become the only submarine fire army equipped with two finished "water dragons", and they have changed into the latest fireproof clothing, extinguishing the fire on the streets of Kaifeng, becoming a beautiful scenery, and the people are scrambling to watch. Every time the water dragon sprays water, everyone will cheer, and some people even bow to the water dragon. In the event of a small fire, Wuban can generally be solved with "dismantling the team" and "hemp team", and only when the fire is large, the water hose will be activated. Instead, the onlookers secretly hoped that the fire would burn a little bigger, so that they could see the water dragon spraying water. Even when there is no fire, even the slightest gossip about Wuban will become a hot topic, and even puppies have become the object of everyone's pursuit.
That's the star effect.
The common people say that this year's winter will be spent peacefully and safely, ushering in the Spring Festival.
Wuban has become the "big star" of the entire capital, and the people of Shengdou follow Wuban every day to "chase stars" in the streets and alleys, and those royal relatives and wealthy families also petitioned the emperor, hoping to configure the "water dragon" for the submarine fire army near their mansion as soon as possible.
Wang Guangyuan, who was far away in Qizhou, immediately asked His Majesty the Emperor to imitate the "Wufan" system of the city's latent fire army. That is, a part of the civilian population is recruited as logistical support, but they can participate in firefighting together. In addition, improvements to address jurisdictional overlap are set out in the memoir.
