Great Sui Dynasty

Daxing City is still cold in the first month of the month. Although the heavy snow has stopped, the chill still exists. Even the first sunshine since the beginning of winter today has not made people feel warm.To be honest, this is really not a good day for traveling.Of course, this was not what Xiao Shunzi thought in his mind alone, and those generals also thought the same way.I really don't know why my master is going crazy, what kind of trip to Zhongnan Mountain in the cold weather, you won't sleep under the covers if it's okay.

Of course, Yang Hao didn't know what his followers were thinking, otherwise he would have to take them one by one.Of course, it is rare to get the sun today, and it is also rare to have free time to come out once. I was basically under confinement before. Although I ran outside the city every day a few days ago, I was busy training my first armed force.

Speaking of the army, originally Yang Hao planned to take Li Jing to the manor to meet those soldiers, after all, it was You Lijing who would train them in the future.But last night, Yang Guang sent someone to bring some pills, saying that Yang Wei was going to fight, and taking it could strengthen his health, so he specially brought it to condolences.This suddenly awakened Yang Hao. Isn’t gunpowder born from the alchemy of Taoists and the production of firecrackers, and the earliest firearms in China were also born in the late Tang Dynasty.

Now that Yang Hao has military craftsmen, there should be quite a few people who know how to make firecrackers, except for gunpowder researchers. Where do these people come from?Of course, Taoist priests became the best candidates. After all, they have a certain foundation in chemistry. Although they are not called chemistry, they know more than ordinary people after all, so Yang Wei canceled his original plan to take Li Jing to the manor.Today, I took Xiao Shunzi and some family members to Mount Zhongnan, one of the most famous birthplaces of Taoism closest to Daxing City, to look for talents in gunpowder or alchemy.

Gunpowder is known as the biggest nemesis in the era of cold weapons. Otherwise, how could a few thousand people from Britain and France beat the Qing Dynasty, which has a population of hundreds of millions, to escape everywhere? Although the most important thing is the corruption of the Qing Dynasty, it is undeniable that firearms are power.The most important thing is that gunpowder was first invented by China, and then spread to all parts of the world. Until the Ming Dynasty, China's firearms have always been ahead of the world, but in turn, they were conquered by a group of robbers with their own inventions. This has to be said A kind of sadness.So Yang Hao came to this era when firearms did not start, so he had to change his future destiny, make his own invention serve his own nation, and use it to conquer all unsubjugated places.

As soon as I arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, I saw a vast expanse of whiteness on the top of the mountain. The snow covering it began to melt slowly under the sunlight, and white mist evaporated. From a distance, it looked like a fairy mist. , worthy of being an important place of Taoism, it seems that there is a sense of immortality that makes people fascinated.

"Beautiful, it's so beautiful, it would be great if I could live in this kind of place every day!" Xiao Shunzi began to feel emotional

"Didn't someone say just now that the weather is cold and you don't want to come out? Why, now you want to live here and don't want to leave?" Yang Hao also said jokingly.Also, just after the sun came out, it would be colder when the snow started to melt than when it was snowing, so it was understandable that Xiao Shunzi and the others didn't want to come out.But the time he can stay in the capital is running out. If he stays in the capital after the Lantern Festival, he might be impeached by those gangsters. Although he is not afraid now, the gangsters change their minds and won’t let him It would be troublesome to go out and lead troops, so I had to hurry up and get everything done.

"No, absolutely not. The slave is just sighing. Serving the master is the most honored and happiest thing for the slave." Xiao Shunzi replied with a smile

"Okay, you sycophant, hurry up to the mountain, your master, I am not here today to enjoy the scenery, I have done everything that needs to be done, and I will have plenty of time to enjoy it slowly in the future."

"Attention everyone, the mountain road is rugged and steep. It has just snowed, so be careful of the slippery road. Everyone dismounts and deposits the horse at the post house over there. Let's go up on foot." Yang Hao pointed to the post house not far away and said .Because of the important place of Taoism, there must be a lot of believers on weekdays, and there must be places for tourists to rest at the foot of the mountain, just like the scenic spots of later generations are full of stalls.

A group of people led their horses to the front of the post house and found a carriage parked there. It seems that there are other people climbing the mountain today to play or pray for blessings.The carriage is well decorated, probably from a rich family, but there is no sign, I don't know which family has such a good mood in such a cold day.

Of course, this is not the focus of Yang Hao's attention. After eating some refreshments to warm up his body, and paying the owner of the posthouse a certain amount of horse care fees, Yang Hao and his party also set off to hike the mountain.

After nearly half an hour of trekking and admiring the scenery along the way, we finally arrived outside the Taoist temple on the main peak.From the outside, the whole Taoist temple has a simple atmosphere, which makes people feel friendly, natural, and pleasant in body and mind.

"All benefactors are polite. This view is the place where the old man loves and loves. It is a clean place. Weapons should not be brought in. I will keep it for you and return it when you leave." Just as Yang Hao and his party When preparing to enter the Taoist temple, a young Taoist priest walked out of it, similar to a concierge.Seeing Yang Hao and others carrying weapons, they came out to remind them.

"Oh, I'm sorry, let's all leave the weapons to the Taoist leader for a while, Xiao Shunzi." Yang Hao turned to the general behind him and said to the general, and winked at Xiao Shunzi.

"This little daoist, this is some sesame oil money donated by our prince to Guiguan, please accept it." Xiao Shunzi immediately understood the meaning in Yang Hao's eyes, and took out some silver taels, about a hundred Come two, and hand it over to the young Taoist priest.

It's actually a prince, no wonder there are so many guards, and they are so generous, but fortunately, this prince doesn't seem to have that superior aura.

"So it was the prince who came to visit, and the temple is full of splendor. I am the manager of the front yard of the temple. Please also ask the prince to accompany me to the guest room to rest for a while, so that Xiaodao can report to the host of the temple to take advantage of the lack of climbing."

The young Taoist also knew that the status of the prince was no longer acceptable to someone of his status, so he had no choice but to ask the host to come and receive him in person.So he apologized to Yang Hao and left.

"You guys wait here for a while for people to come and say that I was attracted by the beautiful scenery of the audience to enjoy the scenery, Xiao Shunzi, come with me." After waiting for a while, Yang Hao felt like waiting It's a waste, it's a rare opportunity, you should enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains.Just take Xiao Shunzi out together, and let those generals wait here.Because Yang Hao also knew that those generals had also been on real battlefields before, and they all had a bit of hostility on their faces, and it felt strange to walk around in this quiet Taoist temple.

Walking on the road made of bluestones, looking at the antique buildings, I feel very relaxed.Although the weather was cold and there were not many people walking around in the temple, Yang Hao didn't feel the chill because he seemed to be returning to nature with all his heart.

Walking through the Guansheng Palace, seeing the stone stele of Louguan Terrace, passing the lecture platform, and slowly approaching the Cuihua Temple without knowing it, Yang Hao didn't know that there he would meet the man of fate again.

"Xiao Shunzi, hurry up, we are going to the Cuihua Temple, let's go and have a look and then go back." It was obvious that Xiao Shunzi was not in as good spirits as Yang Hao, as you could tell from his exhausted appearance.

"Master, I really can't walk anymore, and, moreover, I want to go there for a while." Xiao Shunzi said with some embarrassment

"Okay, then I'll go in first, you can come and find me later." Seeing that Xiao Shunzi really couldn't walk anymore, Yang Yan didn't force him.

It was not far from Cuihua Temple, and Yang Hao walked very fast, mainly because he was walking alone, so the speed would definitely be faster.As soon as I walked to the front of the Cuihua Temple, I saw a few people guarding outside, probably the owner of the carriage at the foot of the mountain.Of course, this will not stop Yang Hao.

"Who? Please stop!" One of the leaders, Mo Yang, stepped forward to stop Yang Hao.

But Yang Hao still didn't stop, because he recognized this family general he had seen before, and it was the family general beside Yin Mingyue.Thinking of Yin Mingyue, Yang Hao's heart couldn't help but feel agitated. The glamorous appearance that day was really moving. Thinking about it this way, I really miss it.I just don't know if it's Yin Mingyue or Yin Shishi who came this time, I hope it's Yin Mingyue.Yang Hao muttered silently in his heart.

"You..." The family general wanted to say something at first, but he shut up decisively when he saw that it was Yang Hao who came, because he also recognized Yang Hao. If Yang Hao hadn't made a move that day, their master would have They are going to be humiliated, maybe they can't avenge their revenge, after all, Yang Hao is still their benefactor.

"It turned out to be the prince. I have met the prince. Thank you for your kindness last time." The family general saw that it was Yang Hao and stepped forward to salute Yang Hao.

"Oh~, so it's you? I said why are you so familiar? It turns out that you are an old acquaintance. Why, is your injury healed?" Yang Hao also asked casually, haha

"Are you here today with your Patriarch or your young lady?" Finally, I asked the question I wanted to ask the most and looked forward to the most.

"I have to thank the lord for saving me, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to lie down for a few more days. Today we accompanied my lady to offer incense and pray for blessings. The head of the family has just been reused by the emperor and is trying to repay the trust of the emperor." will answer truthfully

"Oh~, so according to what you said, your lady is in this Cuihua Temple? Since that's the case, then I'll go in and walk around, and say hello to your lady by the way. After all, it's also a friend. Here's Please continue to watch, and you can leave the safety inside to me." Yang Hao said without blushing.

"This~this~" Damn, what are you talking about, why are we guarding outside and you go in to fuck, as if you are cheating on us and we are helping you out.Besides, this lonely man and widow stay together, really don't know what will happen.That family held "this" for a long time without saying a word, and let Yang Wei walk over. Whoever calls him a prince is the most unworthy of us. Moreover, if the two families can become relatives, then their own family will be killed casually. Is the Yuwen family bullying?

"Mingyue, your lord is here." Yang Wei thought sullenly
