Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 265 Digging a Pit
A foot of sunshine and clouds are scattered, half of the mountain is full of orioles and half of the mountain is clear.

In May, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan was already hot. Only Zhongnan Mountain, which is located in the remnants of the Qinling Mountains, still had a pleasant climate. In the early morning, the mountain stream murmured, the trees were verdant, and the birds sang in harmony. A towering mountain peak appears and disappears in the mist, like a shy Xiaojiabiyu, extremely beautiful.

Fang Jun sat cross-legged under the willow tree, drinking ice-cold grape wine, and listening to reports from Wei Ying and Wang Baozhu.

"When we caught him, we didn't search him too carefully. This guy really hid a small blade. When he saw that his guarding brother was fast asleep, he cut the rope and ran away." Wei Ying was full of admiration. : "You said such a sharp blade, where is it hidden?"

This is not what Fang Jun cares about. Every outstanding tomb robber survives countless adventures and hardships. How can he do it without some real means?

"He didn't suspect him, did he?"

"No! In order to be more realistic, we also chased several miles of mountain roads, but to be honest, when the guy was caught, he seemed weak and defenseless, but if he entered the mountain, he would follow a Like a mountain rabbit, it runs very fast, even if we really wanted to catch it, we might not be able to catch it..."

Wei Ying spoke vividly, seeing Fang Jun's serious face, he tentatively asked: "Patriarch...is there something important?"

Fang Jun glanced at this clever boy and nodded: "I'll give you an order later. The daytime patrols will be cancelled, and only a few secret whistles will be left. I will use all my strength at night, and my eyes will be widened!"

"promise!"

The two agreed and stood up to leave.

After drinking the cold and sweet grape wine in the cup, Fang Jun looked at the stream not far in front of him, his eyes were a little cloudy.Zhang Liang has become a huge threat and began to endanger his personal safety. This was unexpected by Fang Jun, at least he thought it would not come so soon.

The reign of Zhenguan was a very special era in history. Famous ministers and virtuous officials came out frequently, and the stars were so brilliant that they were beyond the reach of later generations. The hearts of the people are like water, and the subjects of the four seas are like fish in water.

Even any Chinese can tell a few allusions and names about this period of history, and Fang Jun is no exception.

What's more, he can be called "Li Erfen", knowing some things and some people in this era.

Zhang Liang is one of the dim stars among the bright generals. Although he is in a high position, he has no brilliant achievements to talk about. Compared with Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Ji Some of the contemporary famous generals of later generations are not well-known.

This person has a sinister personality, and he is also timid. He only plays dirty tricks behind his back when he sees anyone who doesn't like him, and he rarely fights hard in front of him.

But now it seems that this person is too feminine, but he still has the qualities of a general. He seized the opportunity and wanted to get rid of Fang Jun!Maybe he didn't dare to really kill Fang Jun, but it's not a big deal to be disabled. Even if Fang Xuanling and His Majesty Li Er knew that he did it, they could only put their flags down.

You Fang Jun chopped off my son's hand, so why don't I break his leg?

Fang Jun didn't want to be crippled for the rest of his life, nor did he want to be stared at by a poisonous snake all day long, so he had to take the initiative to eliminate this hidden danger!

Even if he knew Zhang Liang couldn't be broken, he had to break one of his arms to make him calm down for a short time.

Zhao Genwang, the hidden leader of the old craftsman, came over, bowed and said: "Master Young Prisoner, what are your orders for recruiting this old man?"

Zhao Genwang's qualifications in the Military Weapons Supervision are very old, even older than Zheng Kunchang's qualifications in the Water Division. It can even be said that all the craftsmen in the Military Weapons Supervision are his apprentices and grandchildren.

Like this old man, Wen Shutong wanted to downsize the staff, but he didn't dare to downsize to this old man. Every time he showed a little bit of limelight, countless principals and craftsmen would come to intervene, and he always respected "better troops and simpler administration". " Wen Shutong was very helpless.

Now I got the chance, got it out from the Military Weapons Supervision, and sent it to Fang Jun...

At first, Fang Jun was really dissatisfied, nothing else, these old guys are too old...

Later, he discovered that sometimes old age has its advantages, such as enough experience, such as doing things calmly, and the accidental invention of the "incendiary bomb" is a reminder for these old guys, otherwise Fang Jun didn't know when he would think of it stand up.

The research and development of black gunpowder is not a difficult task at all, and it is just to create suspicion in this situation, to make yourself innocent and not to attract too much attention.

He took out a neatly folded piece of rice paper from his pocket, handed it to Zhao Genwang, and said, "This is a new recipe that I have come up with after carefully studying the previous experimental recipes recently. You can follow this secret recipe." Make ten copies, and then... destroy this recipe!"

Zhao Genwang was taken aback, and wondered: "Why do you want to destroy it? If this formula really works, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Fang Jun pointed to his head: "It's all recorded here."

Zhao Genwang was stunned, it seems that the young supervisor is very confident in this formula, it must be kept secret!After living such an old age, what things Zhao Genwang can't see through?The more one knows about some things, the more troublesome they become, and even lead to death...

Immediately stated: "Don't worry, the young supervisor, the old man will personally supervise the production, destroy the formula immediately after the preparation is completed, and then hurry up to experiment..."

"No need to experiment!" Fang Jun interrupted him: "After it is made, just seal it up immediately."

"promise……"

Zhao Genwang left in doubt, even if you are confident, how can you be sure without experimenting?Maybe it was the same as last time, and after a long time of tinkering, a big flower came out... Uh, the sparks splashed everywhere, it was quite beautiful!
After sitting quietly for a while, he went through the thoughts in his head and found no omissions. Then Fang Jun got up, rode his horse down the mountain road by the stream, and went straight to Chang'an City.

He has to dig a hole for Zhang Liang...

**********
"This is your new weapon?" His Majesty Li Er was holding a piece of rice paper in his hand, looking at the data on it with a strange expression on his face.

This bastard, could it be that he didn't kick him these days, so he became more courageous and came here to amuse me?
Charcoal, sulfur, saltpeter...

Are you sure you're not alchemy?

Fang Jun's reaction to His Majesty Li Er was naturally expected, and almost all Tang Dynasty people would have this reaction when they saw this formula.

Fang Jun didn't have to explain, could he tell them that the oxygen released by the decomposition of potassium nitrate caused the charcoal and sulfur to burn violently, and instantly produced a large amount of heat, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases. explode?
Will be burned to death as a monster...

Fang Jun said respectfully: "This is the formula developed by Wei Chen and a dozen of the top craftsmen of the Armament Supervisor who worked day and night, forgot to eat and sleep, devoted all their energy and effort... this product can produce huge destructive power, enough to break mountains and rocks , ruin the world..."

His Majesty Li Er looked black: "Stop, stop! Are you showing off your literary talent to me? Let me ask you, have you tried it?"

"This, never..."

"Bastard!" His Majesty Li Er's nose almost turned crooked, and he didn't test it yet. What do you mean by a hammer?

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Fang Jun hurriedly said: "I came here to remind Your Majesty that I will carry out a large-scale experiment in the workshop in the south of the city recently. So please don’t be alarmed, Your Majesty.”

Hearing what Fang Jun said with seriousness, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but wonder: "Is it really so powerful? I'm really curious by what you said, why don't you find a secluded place in this Taiji Palace and try it out?"

In Tai Chi Palace...

Fang Jun froze for a second, and really wanted to say: You are so powerful, did the emperor know...

Of course, he would not dare to say this even if he was killed, and he would not dare to experiment with black powder in the Taiji Palace...he even dared!If there is even a slight mistake, the whole family will be implicated!

He hurriedly said: "Absolutely not! The power of this thing is definitely not a mere minister's random fabrication. Your Majesty will know when the time comes, even if you are sitting in this Tai Chi Palace, you can feel the power of that earth-shaking power even a few miles away! "

His Majesty Li Er said with a dull face: "That's all right, you bastard can do it casually, do you really think I'm scared too much? Seeing your black face makes me angry, get out!"

Fang Jun cursed in his heart, but the first step of the plan has been completed, and he patted his ass and left immediately...
