The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 164 I’ve seen that brother

Gao Gongji has been lost since he found the bodies of Wei Yangyin and Liang Heng.

If he had followed his original idea, Gao Gongji would have taken the bodies of these two hapless people out and handed them over to the Imperial City Department as one of the evidences he had discovered.

But now Gao Gongji's mind has changed. He doesn't want anyone to find the person who walked Yechi Capital Street, except himself.

Then Gao Gongji wandered around the underground area of ​​Bianliang City like a headless fly for three days, without finding any useful clues and not knowing where to look, until he met a half-deaf child.

It was a dirty little beggar, covered with lice and dirt. She looked stupid and very disgusting. At that time, she was telling a few other little beggars a strange story about Big Brother Thunder. , and then attracted their wanton ridicule.

Although the little beggar kept loudly claiming that she had seen it with her own eyes, and even her ears were shaken to the point where she could no longer hear, no one believed her.

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention.

The little beggars listened to the stories told by their companions as jokes, but Gao Gongji was moved when he heard it. He had been to Yan Shude's lair under the Guanyin Yuan Bridge. Although the lair there had long been emptied, it was exploded by the Thunderbolt Fire Pill. The gap that was opened still maintains the appearance after it was destroyed.

Gao Gongji has always been puzzled by the way the nest was destroyed.

It should be noted that since the alchemists of the Tang Dynasty invented the original gunpowder, gadgets with good sound and light effects have inevitably entered the military field.

In the army of the Song Dynasty at this time, gunpowder was generally used to ignite fires, such as gunpowder arrows, gunpowder crossbows, gunpowder cannon arrows, etc. Later, the function of cannons was gradually added.

The so-called cannon sounds and the ambush emerges is a common scene in various classical romance novels.

The Song army really began to regard the explosive power of gunpowder as an important means of killing enemies, but it had to wait until the Southern Song Dynasty after the Jingkang Incident.

As for why this is the case, Ergou's previous life can be regarded as a process in which the characteristics of gunpowder were gradually recognized by people.

But it is not the case in this world. The real reason is that no matter how the gunpowder craftsmen of the Song Dynasty improved their craftsmanship and formulas, the gunpowder produced was just like the batch of anthers prepared by Ergou to ambush the two demons of the Liu family. It can only burn, but cannot explode.

What is more deceptive is that those Taoist alchemists who really master the core skills claim that the explosives they create are thunder methods.

And this so-called thunder method is hidden by Taoists. Just like the legendary gods, most of the time they only hear the name but don't see the reality, so many people don't believe it.

For example, Gao Gongji used to be a person who did not believe in Lei Fa.

But now he began to believe it.

Gao Gongji called the little beggar. Although he was filled with instinctive disgust for the child for some reason, he still brought her to the ground.

Gao Gongji thought he hated this child because she was too dirty.

So he had her bathed, dressed, and fed.

But Gao Gongji found that his idea was wrong.

To be honest, this child is not bad looking. Although he looks very thin due to malnutrition, after being cleansed, he reveals his delicate facial features. If you put this small appearance on others, you will know at a glance that it is rare. Beauty embryo.

But this little beggar makes people instinctively ignore her beauty out of disgust. She feels like a pile of stinky dog ​​shit. They don't even think of bullying her, they just instinctively avoid and alienate her.

That’s right!When the little beggar showed his true appearance, Gao Gongji found that he hated him even more.

If it weren't for this annoying child who might know the whereabouts of that guy, Gao Gongji would definitely get up and leave immediately without saying a word to the child.This little beggar had a familiar temperament. She looked at Gao Gongji with a smile and said: "Old father-in-law (an ancient respectful name for the elderly by young people), you feed me, bathe me, and give me new clothes. I will remember your kindness. By the way, my name is Wang Yin, you can call me Xiao Shi."

Although Gao Gong was over forty years old, he did not look old at all. Except for his beard, he looked almost like a young man in his twenties.

He suppressed the disgust in his heart and said coldly: "Don't call me father-in-law. I don't want to remember your name, and I don't need you to remember me! I just want to know where the person you mentioned who can thunder is." where?"

Xiaoshi didn't care at all, and didn't care what Gao Gongji said. He just pointed to his ear and said: "Old man, there was a thunderstorm that day. Xiaoshi's ears were deafened and I couldn't hear what you said. .”

Gao Gongji was a little angry. He took the brush and rice paper and wrote on them: "Do you know the person who made the thunder?"

Xiaoshi watched Gao Gongji finish writing with great interest. When he handed over the paper, Xiaoshi stuck out his tongue and said shyly: "Old man, I can't read!"

Gao Gongji was so angry that he smashed the table next to him with one punch, but no sound was made.He couldn't help but cursed to himself: "I don't know how to read! Why didn't you, little maid, speak up earlier?! This is simply unreasonable!"

He didn't want Xiao Shi, but he said aggrievedly: "My husband didn't ask, but he came to blame Xiao Shi."

Gao Gongji was shocked and asked: "You... aren't you deaf and can't hear?"

Xiao Shi was confused again, but she quickly reacted and said: "Honey, Xiao Shi's ears are not completely deaf. As long as you speak louder, Xiao Shi can still hear her."

Gao Gongji suddenly realized, and then he discovered a rather embarrassing situation. If he wanted to communicate with this annoying little girl, he had to yell.

Gao Gongji shouted like Zhang Fei on Dangyang Bridge: "Little... little girl! Have you seen that guy who can thunder?"

Xiaoshi, however, was like a pitiful little beast, nodding her little head and whispering softly: "I've seen it! I've seen it! He even gave me something!"

Gao Gongji shouted: "What does he look like?"

Xiaoshi said cheerfully: "Big brother is so handsome! Even more beautiful than the gods in the painting!"

Gao Gongji···

On this day, the servants of the Gao Mansion felt that their master was crazy, and they kept yelling and roaring at a little girl they picked up. Although the little beggar did look annoying, it is too shameless for you to bully others like this, master. Come on.

Not to mention how the servants of the Gao family slandered their master, Gao Gongji finally got some useful information about Ergou from Xiao Shi at the cost of his hoarse voice.

For example, Ergou is very beautiful and tall (at least to Xiaoshi), uses a very special spear, can fire thunder, and has a sense of justice and a kind heart.

There was only one thing that Xiaoshi didn't say, and that was that Ergou had a big talking dog.

Xiaoshi sat on the small stool, swaying her little feet, eating the fruit on the Gao family's plate, her big eyes rolling. Although no one liked her, the little girl was still enjoying herself there. .

Gao Gongji sat far away, drinking loquat soup to moisten his throat, but thinking in his heart.

Bianliang City has a population of one million. Although there are many handsome men, there are not many who are tall and beautiful. If you use this as a clue, it should not be difficult to find that guy.

"It's just," Gao Gongji's eyes turned to Xiao Shi: "I'm afraid that this little girl's words are not very reliable. In the end, I have to rely on her to identify it."
