Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

After taking the pills and potions sent by his wife, and thinking of the "loud noise" in the residence of the military advisor and general mentioned by Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang was still deep in thought, connecting this series of events.

I never thought, but at this moment...

"Boom... boom--"

A deafening loud noise tore through the tranquility of the air and suddenly exploded.

It was as if everything in the world was violently shaken by this sound wave.

Immediately afterwards, a huge shock wave spread rapidly in the air, like an invisible force, covering everything around him instantly.

Even General Zuo's Mansion is no exception.

No, to be precise, this loud noise that can tear everything apart is near General Zuo's Mansion. The huge air wave even spreads here, through the doors and windows, as if giving Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang a "remnant" The impact of air waves under "energy".

then…

It was as if time had been frozen. All those who heard the loud noise and felt the impact, some fell to the ground out of fear, while others froze in place, dumbfounded.

Although the impact was not very great, the shocking feeling that appeared out of thin air... impacted everyone's eardrums, and even made all subconscious pursuits disappear.

It seems... to be the residence of military strategist general Zhuge Liang!

Hearing the explosion, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, who were reporting on their duties in Shuzhong this time, couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding. Because the direction was roughly towards General Zuo's Mansion, they subconsciously thought something had happened to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei in General Zuo's mansion also quickly asked Zhao Yun outside the door, "Zilong, can you find out... what's going on?"

Zhao Yun raised a silver spear horizontally, as if he was determined to protect the door behind him even in the chaos. His words came out quickly, "The sound seems to be coming from the residence of Zhuge Military Advisor... It seems It is exactly the same as the loud noises that have been made occasionally in recent times, but this time... the sound is even louder, so loud that it carries a majestic force... I'm worried..."

——The residence of Zhuge Military Advisor?

Zhao Yun hasn't finished speaking yet...

Zhuge Liang was shocked to realize something. He subconsciously blurted out with great worry, "Yueying... is still in the mansion!"

Then he stood up quickly and said to Liu Bei: "My lord, I..."

It was as if from the first word Zhuge Liang chanted, Liu Bei could guess what he was going to say next, "I will go with Kong Ming... Don't panic Kong Ming, good people have their own destiny!"

Immediately, Zhao Yun and a group of personal guards led the way, facing the dissipating smoke, and quickly advanced to the residence of the military advisor general.

When they arrived, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Ke had already arrived, and they had already found out that the area affected by the explosion was not large, but it was by no means small. It covered an entire yard, and four houses were affected by the explosion. It suddenly exploded and caught fire. At this time...General Zhaowen Yiji and his people were already there to put out the fire.

"Yueying..."

Looking at the chaotic military advisor general's mansion, Zhuge Liang frowned. Apart from not being able to help calling out his wife's name, he could only clench his fists, his heart and eyes filled with worry.

Within a moment, several servants who had been injured by the explosion were carried out. Fortunately, no one's life was in danger, it was just burns. Doctors were already on standby to treat them quickly.

Huang Yueying was the last one to be carried out...

Her thin veil seemed to be blown off by the air waves due to the huge fluctuations.

There was dirt and dust on her cheeks and clothes, especially on her face... Even the thick layer of fetal spots was covered by the dark dust, and her "ugly" side was not shown to others.

Seeing his wife Huang Yueying, Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward...

A soldier quickly reported back, "Reporting to Military Advisor Zhuge, Mrs. Huang is fine... She was just affected by the air wave, and her whole body was not injured..."

call…

These words made Zhuge Liang's heart calm down.

At this moment, Huang Yueying opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Zhuge Liang...

She seemed to regain some consciousness quickly, and subconsciously asked Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming? That medicine... have you taken it on time?"

This…

Zhuge Liang suddenly didn't know what to say.

Yes, she is already like this. She just woke up, but she is still full of concern about the medicine. It can be seen that... Madam doesn’t say anything, but her heart is full of longing to have a child of her own!

"I've accepted it...I've accepted it..."

Zhuge Liang knew that the madam wanted to be strong, so he quickly held her hand...feeling the coldness of her hands.

Who knows... what did she just go through?

It seemed that the heat in her husband's hands made Huang Yueying regain more consciousness.

She asked Zhuge Liang in confusion: "What's wrong with me? Where's my veil? How can I see people with this ugly face?"

Zhuge Liang said softly: "Madam was hit by the black air wave after the huge explosion, and then passed out... With such a huge explosion, four entire houses were blown up, but it is already clear that Madam was safe and sound." It’s God’s blessing, it’s the greatest blessing among misfortunes!”

It seemed that because of the mention of "explosion", "air wave", and "four buildings blown up", Huang Yueying suddenly woke up. She actually grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand tightly. Zhuge Liang could feel...Ms. The power is getting bigger and crazy.

"Kong Ming, did that explosion just now really...really blow up four houses? Seriously?"

Following Huang Yueying's words, Zhuge Liang was a little confused. He could only reply subconsciously: "Yes... the explosion was so powerful that it really destroyed four buildings. Even the General Zuo's Mansion next to this mansion was also affected. It was affected, there was quite a wave of air..."

Zhuge Liang replied with lingering fear...

But visible to the naked eye, Huang Yueying seemed to be ecstatic, "I succeeded, I succeeded..."

Ah...success?

Zhuge Liang was even more confused.

Huang Yueying jumped directly off the stretcher. She jumped three feet high. She was dancing, "I succeeded, I succeeded. The method of making gunpowder that Yun Qi gave me...succeeded..."

"The proportions of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, the way they mix and interact with each other... I found it, I found it!"

The reason why Huang Yueying is so excited...

It's because, under the semi-finished product manufacturing map related to "gunpowder" that Guan Lin gave her, she finally completed the optimal ratio of materials...

The production of this powerful black gunpowder was completed.

As for this method of making black gunpowder, Huang Yueying kept trying it at the expense of the "strategist general"'s mansion... After blowing up one, two, three, four, five, six times, and each time became more dangerous, she finally succeeded. .

The emergence of black powder...marked many "firearms" including "gunpowder whips and arrows"...

In Shuhan, it went from absolutely impossible to having infinite possibilities——

It should be noted that among the four great inventions of China...gunpowder was originally derived from the "exploding cauldron" phenomenon that occurred during the process of alchemy by Taoist priests...

Having said that, Huang Yueying...is proficient in all kinds of craftsmanship, as well as astronomy and geography. Even alchemy, pottery making, and porcelain making are quite accomplished under the guidance of her master Feng Gongzhu...

Therefore, in terms of chemistry, she is hundreds of times better than the magic stick who simply makes alchemy!

...

...

In Luoyang City, there is a waterside pavilion.

This is the mansion that Cao Cao awarded to his consort, Captain Ma Jun...

Of course, because Ma Jun focused on flying balls, this was his first time back here.

Cao Ying accompanies him, or to be more precise, comforts him and lets him know... In these troubled times, many things cannot be controlled by one's own control. In Cao Wei, women's benevolence is a taboo!

anyway…

There was a gluttonous feast on the table, and the room was filled with countless precious treasures. Ma Jun, who was originally depressed, now looked even more melancholy.

The news of the fire in Xuchang City had come, which made him, who was not very experienced in the world, suddenly feel a great sense of guilt.

You know, what Ma Jun has developed over the years...whether it is a new damask weaving machine, a compass wheel, a keel waterwheel, or a water wheel, all are aimed at benefiting the people and are all aimed at making clever use of water conservancy and machinery to improve agriculture. Production efficiency doubled...

He comes from a poor background, and has a special affection for the people and farmers... It is precisely because of this that, no matter what, he cannot imagine... that the flying ball flew into the air and caused the inferno of Xuchang City to be the culprit himself!

This also made him go without eating for several days, as if he was punishing himself.

"No matter what? You have to eat..." Cao Ying comforted Ma Jun, "A woman's benevolence is a taboo for military strategists... Besides, there is no war without killing. Weng Weng kills... for the sake of unification, and unification is for the sake of unification. Peace in the world, the end of war... If according to your imagination, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou live in the same city with the people all the time, then... this flying ball? Will it be hidden forever? Will it never be launched? "

Cao Ying didn't want to explain anything to Weng Weng Cao Cao, she just wanted to cheer up her husband, the prince-in-law who was proficient in all kinds of skills.

She knew that Guan Lin's inventions were endless... If Weng Weng were to dominate the world, her husband would be indispensable!

"Huh...huh..."

Ma Jun didn't reply. Although he was not tall, he seemed to be unusually persistent this time, as if he had no intention of compromising on the issue of "slaughtering people".

"Ugh…"

Cao Ying sighed helplessly. This was the countless time she had tried to persuade her in the past three days, but the result...

Ugh…

As a woman, what else can she do besides sigh?

at this time…

The door was pushed open with a "bang", and it was Cao Cao. He walked into the waterside pavilion with dragon and tiger steps, and saw his granddaughter Cao Ying with a frown.

Then he saw... Ma Jun, who looked miserable and had not eaten for several days. He immediately understood what was going on.

"What? Is the lonely Prince Consort still angry with him?" Cao Cao, who has always been vigorous and resolute, rarely spoke to Ma Jun in a gentle tone...even with a bit of a smile, like a warm spring breeze. .

"Weng Weng..." Cao Ying opened his mouth immediately.

Ma Jun also raised his hands towards Cao Cao: "I dare not..."

"I asked the prince-in-law to go home and rest for a few days. I lost weight without even thinking about it. I thought it was because I didn't take good care of the baby. I should be punished... I should be punished..." Cao Cao chanted the words again, his voice as gentle as the spring breeze.

"It's none of the princess's business..." Ma Jun replied truthfully, "Yes...yes..." In the second half of the sentence, due to the intimidation brought by Cao Cao, he couldn't open his mouth for a while.

"The Commander-in-law didn't say anything, but Na Gu said it for the Commander-in-Chief." Cao Cao's face became a little more serious, "The Commander-in-law blamed Gu for letting Commander-in-law's imitation flying ball burn down the city of Xuchang. All living beings are in ruins, and no humans or animals are left behind... Commander-in-law Prince Consort, what I said is not right..."

This…

Suddenly, such a sensitive and sharp topic reached Ma Jun's ears, leaving him briefly confused and not knowing how to deal with it.

Cao Ying quickly opened his mouth for Ma Jun, "Weng Weng... Deheng him..."

Before Cao Ying could explain, he opened his mouth, "Hahahahaha..." Cao Cao suddenly laughed, "Baby, you don't need to explain for him, I don't blame him, I came here... to tell him..."

what…

Cao Cao's words made Ma Jun startled again. He raised his head and looked directly at Cao Cao's warm and sharp eyes.

Cao Cao's words continued, "The Prince Consort made the mistake of blaming Gu. Gu never allowed the Flying Ball Legion to go to Xuchang City to burn the people. Gu specifically asked them to delay their attack just to allow the people to evacuate in advance. In the early years, Gu... was just a party. The princes, forced by the current situation, killed many people, and the killings were too popular. But now I have established the Wei Dynasty. If I want the Wei Dynasty to be passed down for thousands of generations, I must accumulate some virtue for the Wei Dynasty..."

Having said this, Cao Cao paused for a moment and continued to deceive Ma Jun in a "gentle" way. "But Gu is not a saint. Gu still let the Feiqiu Legion set off this fire after the people of Xuchang City escaped. Gu didn't want to kill many people. Gu wanted to let the Guan family father and son and let Jingzhou know that some of them had Feiqiu. Gu also has the ball, and what they can do, Gu can do... So and so, so and so... When they launch air strikes again, they will be wary, and in this way... Gu's goal will be achieved. "

what…

Cao Cao's words made Ma Jun's heart thump.

"Your Majesty...didn't you burn the people?"

"Why did Gu burn the people?" Cao Cao said wantonly: "Gu is old. The future Wei Dynasty belongs to you young people. The killings Gu once caused will need to be resolved by you in the future. Deheng... hello, my child, and the baby too. Good boy, but you must remember that while protecting all the people, we must also protect our own people, let them live and work in peace and contentment, and keep them away from the ravages of war. I promise you... this flying ball, including anything you imitate. Ordnance, for the sake of unification, will never kill people, even the humblest common people..."

Undoubtedly, for young Ma Jun, he was too easy to manipulate, and Cao Cao's "heart attack" seemed to be even better.

"Your Majesty..." Ma Jun was already in tears. He knelt down with a "snap" sound, "It's me... I judge the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain... It's me who wrongly blamed your Majesty..."

"Are you wrong? Haha... I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..." Cao Cao pulled up Ma Jun while making a serious appearance, "Twenty years ago, some people misjudged Gu, and twenty years later, there will be people who misjudged Gu, but Gu is still the same It's Gu, Deheng... Get up, eat something, protect the thousands of people of the Wei Dynasty, Gu can't leave you... The game with Guan Lin on the ordnance, Gu can't leave you, end the disputes in this world, Gu can't leave you... …I can’t even leave you!”

This…

Cao Cao's words made Ma Jun burst into tears...

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"Are you calling King Gu?"

"No, it's Aweng...Aweng——"

"Hahahahaha..."

Cao Cao burst out laughing. He quickly ordered Cao Ying, "Baby, heat up the food on the table quickly. No... don't heat it up. Ask Xu Chu to bring the cook from the lonely palace and keep it here... for the sake of the orphan." My grandson-in-law makes delicious meals..."

Got it...

Cao Cao used his actions to completely control Ma Jun——

Speaking of which, Cao Cao has been in this world for decades, he understands it very well, he sees through it...

Many times, it doesn’t matter at all what the truth is!

The important thing is, as long as people believe it... it's the truth!

Having said that... appeasing Ma Jun was just a small episode.

Cao Cao quickly walked out of the waterside pavilion. He gave Cao Ying one final explanation and then slowly got on the carriage.

Cheng Yu was standing outside the door just now. He could clearly hear the conversation between Cao Cao and Ma Jun...

Cao Cao saw the astonishment on Cheng Yu's face, so he called Cheng Yu to get on the carriage and asked, "Zhongde? Is there anything you don't understand?"

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Yu said truthfully: "Your Majesty lied to appease Ma Jun. This... I can see, but... Why did Your Majesty never mention the manufacturing of white phosphorus? Didn't Your Majesty want Ma Jun to imitate Jingzhou's white phosphorus? If there is white phosphorus... then the flying ball army can destroy and burn a city overnight... This white phosphorus is of great importance!"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Facing Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao smiled, a big laugh, a confident smile.

When the laughter subsided, he said to Cheng Yu calmly: "I originally wanted Ma Jun to imitate white phosphorus, but I suddenly realized that Ma Junqiang has a lot of skills, but the imitation of white phosphorus is not an ordinary craftsmanship. It’s probably not Ma Jun’s specialty…”

"Then the king wants to..." Cheng Yu asked next.

"Hahaha..." Unexpectedly, Cao Cao laughed again, and said while laughing: "What Gu means is that Gu has thought of a person who is more proficient in this way... If he is allowed to do it, this imitation white phosphorus will be foolproof!"

This…

Cheng Yu was startled. He wanted to open his mouth to ask about this candidate, but when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them.

There is one thing, he can be sure of...that is that King Cao Cao is very confident about this matter...no, to be precise, he is confident about this person——

...

...

Build the city of Ye and put it in the palace.

Guan Lin had been writing all morning, writing one page after another. Countless papers were piled up in the documents, and many even fell to the ground.

Liao Hua originally came to say goodbye. After the Jiangdong matter is resolved, he will return to Anlu City in Jiangxia to continue garrisoning.

Having said that, although Jiangxia borders Nanyang,...for the past year, Zang Ba's army stationed in Nanyang and Jiangxia's army have always made no mistakes, as if they had reached an agreement with each other.

——Don’t fight each other, don’t steal each other’s food, and don’t interact with each other!

Of course, whether it is for Cao Wei or Jingzhou... both sides like to see this. The focus of the competition between the two sides is not here. In Cao Cao's view, Zang Ba is useless even if he conquers Jiangxia, because Jiangxia has many waterways... Zang Ba's men are all Taishan. Soldiers are not good at this...most likely they won't be able to defend it.

Similarly, Jiangxia has many naval forces...to attack the Nanyang Basin, and marching and fighting in the complicated mountains and basins is not their strong point...After two rounds, although the stalemate here is unexpected, it is reasonable and completely justified.

Of course, if there is no war, then there will be no war... General Liao Hua will still have to go back to garrison...

No, come and say goodbye to Guan Lin.

But it was a good thing that he didn't come to say goodbye. He did come, but Guan Lin seemed to be focused on "writing" and was completely deaf to what was going on outside the window... Such a big Liao Hua stood there for a long time without noticing.

Liao Hua did not dare to interrupt Guan Lin's thoughts...for fear that he would think of an important point and his interruption would cause big trouble.

Being bored, Liao Hua simply picked up the paper on the ground and read it one by one.

It doesn't matter if you read this, Liao Hua knows every word in it, but there is no doubt that...these words together are a bit magical.

"The study of gods and prophecies, the study of etiquette and regulations, the study of yin and yang laws and calendars..."The Golden Pill in the Nei Chapter of Baopuzi"...the three emperors of heaven, earth and man...they are formed from the "great ancestral spirit", also known as Tianbao Lord, Lord Shenbao, Lord Lingbao... Jindan Sect, Ge Hong? Who is Ge Hong? And this...'The teachings of raising and lowering, the ritual of circling three thousand, the art of attacking and defending, the importance of righteousness, the joys and sorrows of rituals, the strategy of managing the world and economic customs, these are the tasks of Confucianism', what? ...what the hell? "

The more Liao Hua looked at it, the more mysterious it became... They were all cultivating immortals and asking questions... Gods and ghosts!

Like spells, like scriptures... How about love, and the story of ascending to immortality?

But because it was outrageous, Liao Hua looked at it quite seriously. He actually didn't notice that Guan Lin had stopped writing...

"When did General Liao come?"

Guan Lin noticed Liao Hua in the room, walked to him, and saw that he was reading a volume... "Bao Pu Zi Nei Pian", smiled, and then asked: "Why don't you let it be passed on? You have been waiting for a long time. ?”

"No..." Liao Hua quickly closed the article... "The general is going back to Jiangxia to garrison today and came here to say goodbye to the young master to see if there is anything special that the young master needs to explain..."

this…

Guan Lin thought about it for a while, and found that it really existed, and it was even closely related to the "spirited and nagging" thing he had written all morning.

He said quite solemnly: "The Niwei Dynasty successfully imitated the flying ball through the skillful craftsman Ma Jun, simply... Their fire was not good, and they could not create poisonous smoke. The casualties in Xuchang City were not large, but some buildings were burned down... But , this also gave me a wake-up call... I think about it again, Ni Wei sits on Si, Xu, Yan, Yu, Qing, You, Ji, Bing... and Yongliang, and Liaodong, such a land of nine states... They There are more than a few talents there? Since Ma Jun can imitate the flying ball, then maybe...someone will try to imitate and refine the white phosphorus from Anlu City in Jiangxia..."

When it came to imitating white phosphorus, Liao Hua suddenly became more energetic, and even had a sense of imminent urgency on his cheeks, "So and so... After I go back, I will pay close attention to suspicious people in the city. I can't let this white phosphorus be used by the Wei Dynasty." Also copied..."

"Prevent, I'm afraid it's hard to guard against!" Guan Lin sighed, "The white phosphorus production is so large, and it has been refined, transported, and stored by many people. It is easy to steal some, but the amount stolen is not large, and It’s not easy to transport and it can’t create a climate, but... I’m worried that they will rush to Anlu City to research and imitate on the spot, so I just silently wrote many classic works about Taoism..."

"There are two books among them...you need to pay close attention to them. One is "Baopuzi Neipian" by Ge Xuan, and the other is "Taiqing Alchemy Sutra" by Zuo Ci... That's all I can think of. If you pass these Books... If you find Ge Xuan and Zuo Ci... you must tell me as soon as possible! Others sneak into Jiangxia and imitate white phosphorus... I am not afraid, but these two Taoists are not safe... They can really imitate the refining method of 'white phosphorus'! "

——"Baopuzi Neipian" is the work of Ge Hong.

——"Tai Qing Dan Jing" is the work of Zuo Ci.

Of course, Guan Lin never believed that there were ghosts in this world, and he never believed that he could ascend to immortality in this world, but... Ge Hong and Zuo Ci did exist.

Ge Hongqi put it aside, and according to the deduction of time... Today's "Great Magician", "Great Chemist", "Alchemy Clan" Zuo Ci... But he was recruited by Cao Cao in the territory of Cao Wei!

A common topic…

The invention of gunpowder can be traced back to its origin...it was accomplished by these "alchemy" Taoist priests in the process of tinkering with "elixirs". For example, the refining of white phosphorus is nothing more than a chemical formula!

There is no guarantee...this Zuo Ci...this great magician and magician who pretends to be an immortal, but is actually proficient in blindfolding. If it were him...maybe he could actually come up with this so-called "chemical formula"!

Once he wants to imitate white phosphorus...

That would be a catastrophic and devastating blow to the big man Sanxing!
