Calm.
Last night was a night of thrilling souls for me, and at dawn the next day, when the sun filled the morning birdsong, Nanhuai began a bustling day, calm and peaceful, and the cycle began again and again. There is no killing, no blood, no calculation, no confrontation, people are running for a living, simple and fulfilling.
After turning around in Ziwei City, everything remains the same. It seems that the murder case outside Jun Mansion last night was just a dream of mine, and the mysterious man in white was just a phantom. This is also very good, Xiao Chuyi's disappearance did not alarm anyone.
Holding the small purse in my hand, I hesitated. When Xiao Chuyi was awake for a moment last night, he gave me this purse, and he must let me give it to Beichen Shaoyuan, saying that he would naturally know what to do when he saw the purse.
I'm very surprised, the two of them are completely different from each other. Last time Xiao Chuyi injured Beichen Shaoyuan, how could he be sure that Beichen Shaoyuan would definitely help!
Will Beichen Shaoyuan turn his face on the spot and arrest me instead? He has always treated me neither yin nor yang, and it would be better if he had a handle on me! However, Xiao Chuyi's life is in my hands, and I can't help but die!
Now, only a dead horse can be used as a living horse doctor. After struggling for a long time, I adjusted my clothes, took a deep breath and walked into the study of the king.
As soon as I entered the house, I collided with a man rushing out from inside.
"Ouch! It hurts to death!" the man shouted while touching his forehead.
"Ordinary?" I stroked the scar I hit on my cheek until tears came to my eyes, but at a glance I recognized that it was Beichen Shaoyuan's personal servant Ordinary.
"Yeah! Master Jun!" Pingfan has always held a lot of hostility towards me, "Why don't you walk carefully!"
You must have hit me!
I was angry and funny, and didn't intend to pay him any attention.
"Hey!" Pingfan stopped me, "My lord is not here!"
"Not here?"
"My lord has been with Princess Weiyang for the past few days!" Pingfan said with a proud face, "So if Jun Xueshi wants to find my lord, I'm afraid it will have to be another day!"
Beichen Shaoyuan has not been seen in the past few days. It turned out that he was with Princess Weiyang.
I was suddenly blocked.
"That's right! The emperor and the concubine ordered that my lord will always accompany Princess Weiyang, and Jun Xueshi has nothing important to do not bother my lord. The emperor and the concubine also instructed—"
"enough!"
With a loud shout, Pordin was so frightened that I immediately shut up, and I was stunned for a while, how could it be so rude.
Who this Merry Prince loves to go with has nothing to do with me!
"I'm sorry." I muttered apologetically and turned to walk away.
"Hey!" Seeing me getting angry, Piao Piao was a little overwhelmed, "The wound on Jun Xue Shi's face—"
Speaking of injuries, I remembered that I almost forgot about the business.
"Ordinary, please give this purse to King Xie, thank you!"
Throwing the purse into his hands, seeing him nod, I turned around and left.
The scars on my face are really ugly. I will be a daughter anyway. It’s a pity that such a good appearance was wasted. Did you leave him any elixir for me to use
Ah Xing was uncharacteristically today, instead of busy, he sat alone on the steps, Zhi Yi was in a daze, looking at the whole thinker from a distance.
"Hey!" I walked up to him gently, suddenly startled.
Sure enough, he was so frightened by me that he stumbled and almost fell.
"Brother Shuxing! How can you scare me!"
"What's wrong with you? You seem gloomy?" I helped him up.
"I can't think of what to do with what senior brother explained!" Ah Xing said with a distressed expression.
I took a look and saw a huge monster in the yard taking up half the space, looking like... like a cannon!
"As my senior brother said, if you put the stones here." Ah Xing said and instructed me, "Pull the rope here to throw the stones!"
Truly a stone thrower.
"But." Ah Xing lowered his face, "The stone is too large, and the base frame must be enlarged several times, making it difficult to move."
I suddenly remembered that when I first entered the Ministry of Housing, I once drew a sketch of a howitzer and it disappeared on the table. I didn't care at that time. Was it actually picked up by Beichen Shaoyuan and transformed into this era? Trebuchet? (For those who don’t remember, please refer to 30
o(∩_∩)o~)
"If gunpowder instead of rocks..." I couldn't help but mutter to myself.
"gunpowder?"
"It's something that can explode instantly and kill people when ignited."
"Ignite..." Ah Xing turned his head and said excitedly, "If you soak it in pine oil, you can shoot the rocket to a farther place!"
I nodded, but what I was thinking was that there is no gunpowder in this era, does that mean... I can finally show my skills in my modern major!
I, Izumo Wang, have a master's degree in military chemistry and a doctorate in weapons and ammunition.
Potassium nitrate, charcoal powder, sulfur powder, familiar words popped into my mind one by one.
"Ah Xing, can you promise me not to tell anyone what I did, including your senior brother?"
Ah Xing didn't know why, but nodded anyway.
"Let's go! Let's go to a place first!" I was so happy that the wound on my face was long forgotten.
"Where are you going?" Ah Xing was pulled by me, confused.
I am going to the place where Dongling Crane makes alchemy. He refines "Huofeng Dan" for Shunmi. Naturally, the pill furnace has all the medicines. Most of the things I'm looking for can be found in him.
Dongling Crane is still locked in the Heavenly Prison, the alchemy room is quiet, and we sneaked in very smoothly.
The Royal Pill Room is really impressive. The huge Pill Stove takes up the whole room. I circled around it. The structure is reasonable and the air tightness is good. It is estimated that the temperature can reach more than 1,000 degrees.
Sulfur powder and charcoal powder are easy to find, but saltpeter can’t be found everywhere. Dongling Helian’s “Huofeng Dan” should contain saltpeter, how can it be found
"Brother Shuxing, what else are you looking for?" Axing asked me quietly as he searched.
"Saltpeter."
"What is saltpeter?" He looked like a curious baby. In modern times, he is really a good student.
"I found it!" I was pleasantly surprised.
There are still several unrefined "fire phoenix pills" left in the pill furnace, and it is the same.
"Brother Shuxing, so you were looking for this!" Ah Xing recognized the "Huofeng Pill" at a glance, and said, "I heard from my senior brother that this thing is rare and must be picked from the deep mountains outside the city..."
"Shh—" I suddenly heard footsteps, and hurriedly interrupted him and hid.
Two palace maids entered.
The two rummaged through the boxes for a while, and suddenly cheered, as if they had found some treasure.
"Are you sure that's the thing?" one of them asked uncertainly.
"It must be right!" Another said excitedly, "I heard from the maids of Fenghuan Palace that the gouache used by the empress and concubine is so beautiful that it is so beautiful. It's called... what is it called mercury, it's precious, I heard that the country of Tuyuan paid tribute!"
The two chatted and gradually walked away.
I came out of my hiding place, groaning inwardly. Dongling He clearly stated that he had never seen mercury, so how could the mercury mixed in Shunmi gouache be here? Was Dongling Crane lying, or... Shun Mi deliberately framed the blame? The thought flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
But that beautiful woman, I thought she was not simple from the first sight, and I had offended her!
"Brother Shuxing, I've only heard that Hu powder can be mixed with gouache, how can mercury be used?" A Xing began to wonder again.
"You better go back! It's not good to be seen by people if you come out for too long!"
Note: The compound of lead was called Hufen in ancient times
