Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Chapter 567 Sure enough, King Wei is as suspicious as ever!

Whatever comes to mind!

Here, Liu Bei just realized that Huang Yueying was on the outskirts of the city today, verifying the "object" that could blow up the residence of the military advisor general.

Over there, someone from the gate of Fazheng's mansion has come to report: "Report to General Zuo... Military advisor Zhuge, General Zilong and General Yide came to the mansion, saying that they had urgent matters and asked to see the lord..."

Well…

Liu Bei sighed: "I guess the results of Madam Huang's latest artifact came out today! I specially sent Zilong to see it, and I'm eager to see it through!"

Having said this, he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, let Kong Ming and Zilong come in..."

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Fazheng also sat up straight, as if...he was also interested in the "Yunqi's drawings", "Mrs. Huang's attempt", and the "ordnance that can blow open the gate of Yangping Pass" mentioned by this good friend. Extremely curious.

After a while, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun came in excitedly. When they saw Liu Bei, they both saluted.

"Lord..."

Liu Bei couldn't wait to ask: "How?"

"Jingshi is lucky to have lived up to his mission..." Zhuge Liang said truthfully: "Liang saw it with his own eyes and observed the 'gunpowder whip arrow' she made according to Yunqi's manufacturing drawings. It is so powerful...it can blow up a mountaintop in a matter of seconds. flat!"

this…

Zhuge Liang's words sounded a bit exaggerated to Liu Bei and Fazheng.

You know, in this era there is no concept of "explosion"...

Not to mention flattening the mountain top, this kind of power...has exceeded the power of any existing weapons, and exceeded the cognition of ordinary people.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that it was Zhuge Liang who said these words, otherwise... Liu Bei and Fazheng would not believe it!

"It's true..." Zhao Yun's words further deepened the authenticity of these words. "It was launched from one hilltop and then exploded on another hilltop. Its range is almost comparable to that of the Eight Bull Crossbow, but its power can be said to split the sky and crack rocks. If an arrow really explodes in the enemy's formation, even if it is... overnight In this time, thousands of enemies will die instantly!"

Following Zhao Yun's explanation.

Zhang Fei was not to be outdone...

"Brother, this thing is easy to use. It is ten times more effective than my Zhangba Snake Spear. I just feel my hands itching when I look at it. If more than ten bullets are fired out in volley and explode at the same time, even if it is General Zuo's Mansion, ...They will all be moved to the ground in an instant! It’s no exaggeration at all, more than ten rounds are enough for the rest of us to return to the west together!”

"..."

General Zuo's Mansion! moment! Razed to the ground?

these people! Together! Return to the West!

Zhang Fei's words, especially the metaphor in them, are strange...

But the power of black gunpowder is indeed so, not to mention... because of the manufacturing diagram of the semi-finished product provided by Guan Lin, and because of Huang Yueying's wit and intelligence...

Nowadays, the production of "black powder" has actually skipped the Tang, Song, Yuan... and reached the process of making black powder during the Ming Dynasty.

If expressed in a formula, it would be:

——2KNO3+S+3C====K2S+N2↑+ 3CO2↑

To put it simply, the oxygen released by the decomposition of potassium nitrate causes the charcoal and sulfur to burn violently, instantly producing a large amount of heat, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases.

Due to the rapid expansion of volume, the pressure increased violently, and an explosion occurred.

When about four grams of black powder is ignited and burned, it can produce 280 liters of gas, and the volume can expand nearly 10,000 times. The power is evident!

Of course, Huang Yueying did not know this so-called "chemical engineering formula". She used stupid methods, that is, repeated attempts, from less to more, from weak to strong, to get the final accuracy of "black powder" based on the results. Proportions and final conclusions.

As the saying goes, what you learn on paper will eventually become shallow, but you must know that you have to do it in detail...

Huang Yueying is a woman, but she can also be called...an example of true knowledge coming from practice!

On the other hand, Liu Bei and Fazheng were somewhat discolored.

General Zuo's Mansion! moment! Razed to the ground…

Although this metaphor is inappropriate, the power presented is a bit jaw-dropping.

Zhang Fei's words continued, "Now that I have seen the gunpowder whip and arrow, I understand what power is. With this thing, ordinary shields are not enough for protection. We have this, it is even more powerful!"

"Really...really there is such a stake?" Liu Bei was still a little confused...

Mainly because this thing is outrageous.

You know, he has stayed with Cao Cao, and he knows how much military expenditure Cao Cao allocates to military factories every year, just to manufacture new weapons of mass destruction.

In fact... things like the Thunderbolt Car and the well fences he improved were all brilliant in those battles...

And the invention of these devices requires the wisdom of many people, the hard work of many people, and the lives of many people...

But Guan Lin? How old is he?

But the manufacturing drawings in his hands are endless, from repeating crossbows, to sidecars, to wooden cows and flowing horses, to eight-oxen crossbows, to flying balls, and now to flaming whip arrows... How can he draw so many manufacturing drawings?

In fact, this problem has always troubled Liu Bei. He had a strong desire in his heart to ask his second brother Qilin for clarification at the right time.

Of course, Liu Bei didn't believe in the words of strange powers and gods, but because of Guan Lin, he was more willing to believe that this was God's favor to the Han Dynasty, and he specially sent such a "magical" young master to help him...help him and his second brother Together we can turn the tide!

Thank you...

In addition to thanking God, what else can Liu Bei do?

"Quickly, send this good news to Yun Chang and tell Yun Qi... Also, give everything in Bashu... to help Mrs. Huang configure as many of these 'gunpowder whips and arrows' as possible. This will definitely have a great impact on the upcoming Hanzhong army." War plays a vital role!”

Following Liu Bei's last words, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei quickly handed over their hands.

"promise…"

Everyone has their own things to do, but there is no doubt that...the success of the black powder and the great success of the gunpowder whip and arrow are like a shot in the arm, lifting everyone's spirits.

Outside Luoyang City, in the Beimang Mountain, in the central tent of Wei Feiqiu's army, Jiang Wei was still pressed on the wooden stake outside the tent, with many soldiers surrounding it.

And as a rough voice chanted:

——"What if it's me?" For my sake, can you please go online and open up a bit? 』

Everyone's eyes are looking at the sound.

He is a general in the Wei Dynasty and a general whom Cao Cao, the king of Wei, values ​​​​and trusts very much - Wen Ji!

Speaking of Wen Ji, many people are not familiar with it. It is only mentioned in the "Book of Wei" quoted in "The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms·Guanqiu Jian" that he was the father of Wen Qin and served as Cao Cao's cavalry commander in Jian'an, and he performed well. Be brave and powerful!

——'Young Master Qin is known for his famous generals and martial arts! 』

Even if historical development is followed, both Wei Xi and Wen Qin were imprisoned in the Wei Xi case, and both of them should be executed.

Wei Xi, who intended to rebel, had no room for turning back, but Cao Cao miraculously pardoned Wen Qin because Wen Qin was Wen Ji's son!

It can be seen from this that Wen Qin's father Wen Ji's status in Cao Wei and his status in Cao Cao's mind.

Of course, many people are more familiar with Wen Ji's grandson, that is, the famous general in the late Wei and early Jin Dynasties, who single-handedly defeated 200,000 barbarians from Xianbei, and became the world-famous "little bird" - Wen Yang!

Of course, none of this matters.

The important thing is that Wen Ji interceded for Jiang Wei, and the weight of his intercession was very heavy.

You know... the Wen family's ancestral home is Qiao Pei, Cao Cao's fellow villager, and the Wen family's relationship with the Cao family and the Xiahou family is even more intricate!

Sure enough, when he noticed that the person coming was Wen Ji, Jiang Juan quickly stood up in panic.

"Why... is it General Wen?"

He and Wen Ji knew each other, and it was Wen Ji who was responsible for recruiting flying ball soldiers. In other words... without Wen Ji, Jiang Juan and Jiang Wei would still be stationed at the border in Tianshui to resist the barbarians... I am afraid they would never be there for the rest of their lives. Opportunity to touch the core layer.

Wen Ji could be said to be a blessing to the Jiang family.

"Kill, kill, kill? What's the use of killing Jiang Wei?" Wen Ji was not polite at all, "Then under Guan Lin's fire, more than 100,000 people died in Wei? The enemy killed our son, but you are our father. He also kills his son... Then how are you different from the enemy? What's more, today's Wei Dynasty is upright in employing people, and the slightest mistake will be punished by execution? Then who dares to serve as a soldier? How can I, the general, recruit soldiers? "

this…

Undoubtedly, Wen Ji's words were very weighty, and so Jiang Juan lowered his head, not even daring to disobey him.

But Jiang Yan was secretly happy.

——"General Wenji is here, and my son will be saved!" 』

Wen Ji's words continued, "Young people are more angry and compassionate? Why are their crimes so heinous? Are they unforgivable? It's not like you and I have never been young. Young people always have to grow up... Well, today Forget it, this is your son, I will guarantee him, just spare him once and let him serve his crime!"

Wen Ji said this...

Immediately, Jiang Hong, Liu... and many members of the Jiang clan knelt down and asked, "Please, General, please spare him?"

Jiang Yan exhaled a long breath and thought to himself.

——"Now that Cheng Zhongde is here, with General Wen Ji as my guarantee, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!" 』

His heart was filled with turbulence and mixed emotions, but Jiang Juan's expression was as cold as ever, "This treacherous son almost killed my Jiang family and all the soldiers of our flying ball army. I...I, Jiang Juan, am ashamed of all of you." Soldiers!"

Having said this, Jiang Yan paused for a moment and then continued: "If General Wenji hadn't interceded, I would have killed this traitor today as a warning to others... Anyway... Whatever... But this traitor's behavior affects the three armies. He can be spared from the death penalty, but it is difficult to live. Forgive me, give me another two hundred lashes first!"

this…

Following Jiang Juan's instructions, Mrs. Liu was shocked: "Husband... how can I bear the whip of two hundred whips? Husband still has to commit crimes and make meritorious service, please father..."

Jiang Juan shouted angrily: "The Flying Ball Legion has been newly established. We have received great favor from the king. If we don't severely punish this traitor, where will our military law be! If you plead for mercy, I won't fight. I'll kill him!"

Ms. Liu was so frightened that she stopped talking...

When Jiang Wei was mentioned outside the account, he was particularly stubborn, "I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong..."

His wife, Mrs. Liu, frowned bitterly and walked out quickly, "You are still talking nonsense...stop talking..."

At this time, Jiang Wei had already taken off his shirt and was tied under the camp gate. The execution soldier came over with a long and thick whip and swung it out. A bright red blood mark was printed on Jiang Wei's back. Jiang Wei was shocked and painful. I had to grit my teeth to keep silent.

The whip was like a flying snake, biting the bleeding flower. Mrs. Liu stood aside, helpless, and turned away sadly.

Jiang Juan was sitting in the tent, listening to the crackling sound of whips coming from outside the tent, and his mood was like a knife twisting...

He clenched his fists tightly and his arms trembled, but he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, staying still, trying his best to maintain the image of a cruel father and a cruel general.

Not long after, a soldier came to report: "After fifty lashes, Mr. Jiang fainted..."

Jiang Juan glanced at Wen Ji, and then glanced at Cheng Yu who was outside the door. He felt cruel and immediately stepped out in person. He took the vine whip and asked someone to pour a bucket of water on Jiang Wei's head. body.

"Ah..." The cold water collided with the wounds all over his body, and Jiang Wei screamed in pain.

Jiang Juan wiped his tears and sweat countless times in his heart, and he said harshly, "I'll beat you to death, you unscrupulous person... I'll beat you, you unscrupulous person, to death!"

"Crackling..."

Two more whip marks were revealed on Jiang Wei's back, and the blood was bright red.

"Do you know your fault? Do you know your fault, you traitor?" Jiang Juan roared angrily...

"No... no..." In the end, under the extreme pain, Jiang Wei still did not beg for mercy. The corners of his mouth were bleeding, but he gave a weak smile, "The child was wrong. The mistake was that he looked at the wrong father... Come on, bring it on--"

Jiang Juan swung the whip on Jiang Wei's chest, and the soldiers watching were all in tears.

Cheng Yu closed his eyes and turned around, as if he had already decided something, and walked towards the camp gate. For some reason, his heart was as steely as ever. Looking at this scene, he actually had two tears in his eyes.

——"Sure enough...when people get older, they tend to feel compassion for others!" I have learned a lesson from this young Jiang Wei! 』

On the other hand, Wen Ji, Jiang Hong, Liu and others...

They couldn't bear to listen to the tearing cracks of whips and Jiang Wei's suppressed groans!

In the main hall of King Wei's palace, a set of chimes were playing magnificent music.

Cheng Yu just reported everything he saw to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao held the small hammer in his hand and struck it leisurely. He sang to himself: "Qing Qing Zi Jin, my heart is so long, but for the sake of you, I have been pondering it to this day..."

If Guo Jia is around, he will often clap his hands with a fan in rhythm.

But Cheng Yu...he always seems to be the one who doesn't understand the style.

finally…

When the movement ended, the bells throughout Luoyang City rang continuously, as if it was already dusk and it was time to close the city.

Cao Cao also put down his hammer, walked to the door and looked up at the sky. Even though it was dusk, today's dusk seemed to have a thin layer of haze...

Finally, he spoke to Cheng Yu, "Zhongde? Do you think...does Jiang Juan have selfish motives? Is he loyal or traitorous?"

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment, and then narrated what he was thinking: "It would be impossible to say that he didn't have the desire to lick the baby, but if he let Jiang Wei go, it would be concluded that he was an adulterer but not a loyal person. That's not necessarily true... "

At this point, Cheng Yu was shocked to realize that what he said was the same as what he had not said, so he quickly handed over his hand and said, "Your Majesty, good and evil can never escape your eyes!"

"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed, "Zhongde, when did you follow their example to compliment Gu?"

"I always admire your Majesty!"

"That's all..." Cao Cao waved his hand rather boldly, and then looked up at the sky, "I have always doubted people, but I don't trust people when I employ them. There is a way to test Jiang Juan's loyalty, treachery, good and evil..."

"What?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.

"Gu wants to leave his son in Luoyang, and then sends him Jiang Juan to escort Zuo Ci to Jiangxia, Jingzhou. If he can help Zuo Ci bring back the method of refining white phosphorus, then he is loyal. On the contrary...the father and son are Useless person! There is no point in talking about his loyalty, treachery, good and evil!"

Having said this, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed.

It seemed that he was quite satisfied with his calculation.

this…

Cheng Yu, on the other hand, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and then the admiration in his eyes became even greater...

He raised his hand to Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty, this is a wonderful plan!"

On the official road from Luoyang City to Jingzhou, a bamboo hat covered Zuo Ci's splendid face.

A carriage has been prepared, and behind him is a man over fifty years old. This man looks old, but he is full of energy... His snow-white goatee is quite eye-catching in the crowd.

His name was Ge Xuan...he was the founder of the Lingbao Sect of Taoism in later generations, and was called "Gong Xian" by Taoist disciples!

He is a disciple of Zuo Ci. When he was a teenager, he followed Zuo Ci to practice Taoism, such as... "Tai Qing Dan Jing", "Jiuding Dan Jing", "Golden Liquid Dan Jing" and other alchemy scriptures that Zuo Ci did not teach outside. Zuo Ci passed it all to Ge Xuan without reservation.

Ge Xuan is also the nominal helmsman of the Taoist Danding sect in this world.

But at this moment, he was following Zuo Ci like a submissive servant, supporting Zuo Ci carefully and respectfully.

"Have our disciples been sent to Anlu City in Jiangxia?"

Zuo Ci asked Ge Xuan while walking forward slowly.

Ge Xuan respectfully replied: "All the disciples have been sent to Jiangxia. Not only Anlu City, but the entire Jiangxia... we have gathered thousands of disciples, and they will cooperate with the master's actions at any time..."

Hearing Ge Xuan's answer, Zuo Ci nodded, but solemnly told him: "This trip is of great importance. It is related to whether our Taoist sect can become the national religion of the Wei Dynasty and whether it can spread morality in the world! Surpassing the Zhengdao in terms of influence... Our Taoist sect's alchemy method is the key to solving the mystery for King Wei, so on this trip... we must be extremely cautious, and we must only succeed, not fail!"

"Don't worry, Master..." Ge Xuan handed over his hand, "I heard from Master that he wants to imitate the art of refining white phosphorus from Sifang Mountain in Anlu City. This is what our Danding sect is best at. I think this trip will be foolproof!"

As they talked, Zuo Ci and Ge Xuan walked to the carriage...

The groom was also a Taoist in disguise and was a disciple of Ge Xuan. Even along the way...Ge Xuan had already made arrangements, and there would be someone to help him wherever he went.

Just as Zuo Ci got on the carriage...

Suddenly I heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. I looked up and saw more than ten fast horses galloping towards me from a distance. Judging from their attire, they were tigers and soldiers.

The leader was Xu Chu.

"Master Zuo Xian will stay..."

"Do you have any other advice from Marquis Hu?" Zuo Ci greeted Xu Chu...

Xu Chu dismounted, and a burly man next to him also dismounted. Xu Chu introduced: "Mr. Zuo Xian, let me introduce to you. This man's name is Jiang Juan. He is General Tianyi who is personally appointed by the king. He is the commander of the flying army." Football Army…”

Well…

Upon hearing this introduction, Zuo Ci raised his eyes slightly, as if he had guessed something.

Xu Chu's voice continued: "The purpose of Zuo Xiangong's trip is to imitate white phosphorus. The white phosphorus is used to set fires in the sky above the flying ball. Therefore... The king specially sent General Tianyi to accompany Zuo Xiangong. One of them is Tianyi. The general's strong martial arts skills can protect Zuo Xianggong. Whether the combination of the flying ball and the white phosphorus can be successful depends entirely on the two of them... The two of them can also get to know each other in advance, so that they can cooperate in the future!"

this…

How could Zuo Ci not know that Cao Cao sent someone to monitor him.

He thought to himself:

——‘Sure enough, this King of Wei is as suspicious as ever! 』

But that’s how some things are, even if you see through them, you can’t explain them…

Zuo Ci smiled and said: "Okay, since it is the king's kind intention, the old man is disrespectful——"

As he spoke, his eyes and Xu Chu's eyes met each other, and their eyes met... they understood each other, tacitly understood, everything was unspoken!

Xu Chu cupped his hands and turned toward Jiang Juan and Zuo Ci.

"Then I wish General Tianyi and Zuo Xiangong a victory and a blockbuster success!"

Just like that... a small episode, Jiang Juan successfully tied up with Zuo Ci in a boat.

"Definitely..."

Accompanied by the neighing of the horses, a carriage swept away the dust on the official road, galloped into the distance, and gradually disappeared from Xu Chu's eyes...

The atmosphere in the carriage was very strange. Zuo Ci didn't speak, and Jiang Juan didn't know what to say.

Only...he was thinking of his son!

I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable under those two hundred lashes.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Zuo Ci seemed to see Jiang Juan's state of mind, and he asked calmly: "The king is so suspicious by nature, and since he can safely send the general with him, then... the general must also have something that the king can hold on to. Take it in your hand!"

this…

Because of Zuo Ci's words, Jiang Juan seemed to suddenly realize something. His eyes widened to the extreme, but... after only a brief moment, his expression quickly converged, as if he had heard nothing, and felt nothing. occur.

"I'm here again just to escort Immortal Duke Zhou Quan. I have no comment for the rest!"

The more I say this...

Zuo Ciyue confirmed his guess.

In the middle of Shu, the residence of Liu Feng, the deputy general of the army.

"Failure to achieve the goal, fall short of the success..."

Liu Feng's voice was heard from a long distance away. Although the voice was very restrained, it... could still wake up the sleeping bird.

As the frightened birds flew up, Liu Feng's angry expression appeared in everyone's eyes.

In addition to Liu Feng, Ma Su, Li Yan, and Wu Yi are also here.

Their moods seemed to be inexplicably heavy, and they would sigh, beat their chests, and stamp their feet from time to time.

"Yeah...it fell short!"

While stroking his beard, Li Yan sighed: "It's only one step away from Faxiao dying... What a pity, what a pity! It's just one step away from us taking charge of the Dongzhou Sect..."

Speaking of this, Ma Su also had a look of helplessness on his face, "Speaking of which, filial piety must be repaid, and those who have grudges against him will be punished countless times. The souls of enemies he killed... are probably more than the soldiers and horses of a school. How could such a person... be able to turn the crisis into safety? How could Guan Lin and the female doctor be saved? Ridiculous... Haha, this is a hell!"

It seems that even now, Ma Su still feels that there is no problem with his entire plan and layout.

But, here comes the question, where is the problem?

After racking his brains and thinking hard, he couldn't figure it out, so Ma Su simply didn't worry about it: "This time, it's good luck to the Dharma! Next time..."

"Next time?" Liu Feng roared angrily, "Obviously, Fa Xiaozhi and Zhuge Kongming are closer to Adou that loser! If he is alive, I...how can I become the heir apparent? I...I..."

Ma Su was helpless because something went wrong with his plan...

Liu Feng was angry because he was getting further and further away from his position as the heir apparent.

This anger also shows that he is eager to get rid of the position of "Crown Prince"!

"Don't worry, young master..." Seeing Liu Feng's anger, Ma Di quickly comforted him and said, "If the first plan fails, then we will try another one..."

Having said this, he turned to look at Li Yan and Wu Yi. His eyes narrowed at this moment, and his tone became more serious and meticulous: "General Li, Uncle Wu Guo... can you think of those people?" Ready?"

"Of course I'm ready!" Li Yan replied solemnly, "Since Fa Xiaozhi's condition has improved, Ziyuan and I have started working on this second plan!"

"Second plan?" Liu Feng was startled. He was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Ma Di emphasized: "Yes, the second plan is to make that loser Liu Adou never become the heir apparent -"

This time, while speaking... Ma Di's eyes almost narrowed into slits.

The sharpness contained in the cone is ready to come out.
