Chapter 36
"I guess so."

Xiao Keji nodded: "The person you killed is called Song Cheng, and he is the nephew of Song Suchen, the deputy envoy of the Hosokawa Mission. These two people may also know about the hidden inheritance of Tiezhu Temple, and deliberately let you go up the mountain and wait for an opportunity to act. It's just that Your strength exceeds their expectations, and that firearm... you caused quite a stir."

While talking, Xiao Keji glanced at Shen Daoxiu on the bed. It was this woman who made Xiao Jingxing lose his mind.

However, this is also a good thing.

If he is truly heartless and has no weaknesses...then how sad his life must be...

Xiao Keji's eyes were cold and anger grew in his heart.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingxing thought that Xiao Keji was angry with Shen Daoxiu, so he turned sideways to block his gaze, and said solemnly: "Shixiang Ruanjin Powder is colorless and odorless, and it is extremely difficult to detect. If there is no Axiu this time, we will also fall into the trap; there has been no Axiu in the past three years." Show, there is no way I would be here today.”

Shen Daoxiu is not only his woman and spiritual comfort, but also his most trustworthy and capable partner.

The implication is, don’t touch her!
The corner of Xiao Keji's mouth slightly raised, he looked away, and said calmly: "You secretly acted to coordinate the three parties this time and promote a joint force. There are already many people who know your details. Today, such a powerful firearm was exposed again, and it is inevitable that the government, Tangmen, and Perak Hall will Think about it, if you are forced to use righteousness to force you to hand over the secret recipe of gunpowder to fight against the Japanese pirates, the Western Region and Mobei, what should you do?"

"Then hand it over."

Xiao Jingxing said nonchalantly: "The difficulty in making [Thunderbolt Thunder Beads] is not the secret recipe, but the processing workshop. Without equipment, we cannot make medicine with high accuracy. As for my equipment, they can't steal it and they can't reproduce it. Just a piece of paper and give it away." So what about them!”

Monosulphide, dinitrate, carbonic acid, and some white sugar.

It's simple to say, but in the context of today's era, if you want to reproduce gunpowder of the level of [Thunderbolt Thunder Bead], you must control the proportions very carefully. Just knowing that the proportions cannot produce suitable raw materials is useless, and you will miss the smallest detail. If you are thousands of miles away, you can do it if you want to.

Xiao Keji nodded: "As long as you have an idea."

Xiao Jingxing said: "Brother-in-law, what happened to this group of thieves? I can only speculate, did they really kill the eunuch in charge of the Shipping Department?"

"It's about the same."

Xiao Keji said: "At the end of March, the Ouchi clan and the Hosokawa clan's tribute ships entered Ningbo Port. The Hosokawa clan's envoy was Kumasawa Ichiro, one of the top ten swordsmen in Japan and a new generation of swordsman Aizhou Yixiangzhai. He was taught by his mentor and was proficient in Sarutobi Yin-ryu swordsmanship. He was accompanied by the five secret ninjas of the Iga sect, Hosokawa Kaede, the fifth son of the Hosokawa family, and two hundred elite warriors. However, the person in charge of the negotiations this time was the Han Chinese Song Suchen.

The two families entered the Ningbo Port one after another, but only one of the true qualifiers was in the hands of the Ouchi family. The other cannot be said to be fake, but it was an outdated qualifier issued during the Hongle period and was controlled by the Hosokawa family.The Hosokawa family entered the port first, and due to the timeliness, they could not inspect the goods originally. However, Song Suchen bribed He Xiang, the former chief eunuch of the city's Shipping Department, with a large sum of money. Not only did he successfully enter the port to inspect the goods, but he was also treated like a distinguished guest, which naturally caused the Ouchi family's dissatisfaction.

The two families had a grudge, and due to the favoritism of the shipping company, the Hosokawa family was placed above the Ouchi family in the guest building rankings. The quarrel turned into a fight, and the two sides fought in the guest building. Together, the shipping company was murderous. Also involved, Hosokawa Kaede accidentally killed He Xiang, and the situation completely got out of control. Kumasawa Ichiro then took action, first killing the Ouchi clan envoy, then killing the capital commander and commander who accompanied He Xiang, and looted the guest building and Ningbo treasury. Escape.

Three waves of officers and soldiers encircled and killed thousands of people, all of which failed. A group of bandits were rampant in Zhejiang and no one could control it. It was a matter of official dignity. Ningbo was also a place where Japanese invaders were rampant. The governor of Zhejiang ordered a blockade of the news and summoned the capital.Zhang Yong took over as the general manager of the Municipal Shipping Department and rushed to Zhejiang. He severely damaged Xiong Ze on the Xianxia Ancient Road. The bandits were defeated and fled to Quanzhou. You all know what happened next. "

It's so detailed, it feels like you've done it yourself.

The corpse is in ruins...

It's better not to see each other...

After Xiao Jingxing heard this, he vaguely made some assumptions and his heart sank.

"Then how did they know about the treasures hidden by the Xishu Escort Bureau and the Haisha Gang? The information is so well-informed!"

"It's easy to say."

Xiao Keji said: "According to Daqian's law, if you are traveling far away, you need the government to issue a road reference document with a clear reason for it, and you need to be strictly inspected when crossing the border and entering the city. In this way, silver coins and the like will naturally not be able to escape inspection. It would be better if you were more careful. Don’t find weird things in the escort box or clues in the dark.”

Xiao Jingxing frowned: "Doesn't that mean that every checkpoint must... I understand, there is no need to control the guards at each checkpoint. As long as you control the prefect and let him order his subordinates to report secretly, you will naturally know the manpower arrangements of the passing escort bureaus. , itinerary, carry gold and silver.

Then, through the deployment of the experts from the caravan escort agency, I guessed that there might be a hidden treasure... It turns out that this is a coincidence but I think it is complicated. It seems that among this group of thieves, there is really an expert who is proficient in the secret technique of capturing the mind. "

"Yes, there is, but it's not high."

Xiao Keji said casually: "Hosokawa Kaede is only at the eighth level of the innate realm, how high can it be? It's just a bit strange. He studied Yin and Yang Tao in Japan, knows Yin and Yang, and knows a secret technique called "Soul-Charging Puppet Technique" , can control people's hearts and read memories.

However, this method has great limitations. Those with strong skills cannot control it, and neither can those with tenacious will. When performing the technique, one must touch the top of the technique with both hands and stay close. Once the technique is stopped, the effect will be weakened and the secret technique will be in the body. It won't take long for people to wake up. If you want to control them for a long time, it is far better to lure them with convenience. "

Xiao Jingxing continued: "For example, borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, using Tang Sect treasures to make him obedient..."

The prefect did not dare to enjoy the treasures of the Tang family for himself, so he used them to make friends with the new nobles of the court in order to get promoted and make a fortune.So, that [Jade Peach]...

Xiao Keji glanced at him: "That's right."

Uncle and nephew looked at each other.

The room suddenly fell silent.

From beginning to end, Xiao Keji's eyes were calm.

Xiao Jingxing's eyes were a little more hurt.

After three years of doting on Xiao Su and Shen Yi, they turned into stone. He had long regarded them as his relatives. Now that he learned about his uncle's tragic experience, he couldn't help but get emotional and said bitterly: "It's really better not to see you! If my father knew about you, How much he blames himself and how heartbroken he must be for what he has experienced these years! This is a stab in his heart!"

"..."

Xiao Keji smiled gently, patted his shoulder, and said softly: "I feel so relieved to see you! There is no need to mention the past."

Xiao Jingxing's heart was heavy.

The hatred of the Xiao family and what happened to my uncle must all be blamed on those damn old eunuchs!
He somewhat understood why the original owner became the traitor and traitor who killed the emperor, and why he became so successful as the head of the escort agency.

All of this comes at a price.

Xiao Keji didn't want to talk more, so he changed the topic, looked at the two jade scrolls, and said with a smile: "Very good, "Three Points Returning Vitality" has the miraculous effect of sealing acupoints to stop bleeding, remove decay and regenerate muscles. It can maintain the meridians and is very suitable. You, originally I was worried about finding some exercises for you. This one is very good, so practice it hard. As for your meridians... do you have a clue?"

"I have found several methods, but they are not very effective."

Xiao Jingxing shook his head: "Shaolin's "Marrow Cleansing Sutra", the Five Poison Sect [Acacia Gu], the abyss of the East China Sea [Liwang Pond], the [Liusha River] in the yellow sand desert of the Western Regions, the palace palace [Pond of Fortune], and the long-term Taking [Nine-Jointed Acorus] and [Fuling Clam] can slightly improve things, but neither of these two are effective in the short term, and even so, they are hard to find, so rare!"

"It's quite difficult."

Xiao Keji pondered for a moment: "The Marrow Cleansing Sutra doesn't work. Give me another ten years, maybe I can steal it. Those bald donkeys take this secret skill very seriously. Even the Dog Emperor won't come, and they won't be able to practice it even if they come." , he is not very interested; [Liwang Pond] and [Liusha River] are just legends, short-lived and not worthy of belief; [Good Fortune Pond] is not good, even Liu Qing can't get in; that is, [Lovesickness Gu] and those two There is hope in the medicinal materials, leave it to me!”

"do not!"

Xiao Jingxing hurriedly said: "[Lovesickness Gu] is the treasure of the Southwest Five Poison Sect. It is a token of the succession of the leader of the past generations. The two Gu coexist, the son never leaves the mother, and the mother never separates. It is difficult to bring back even one single one. It is really dangerous to face two generations of cult leaders!

What's more, there are many dangers there, and the Dharma Image Realm may not be able to withstand the poison. It's better not to take risks. If my uncle is willing, he will help me find those two kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, and I will slowly figure out a way for the rest.I'm much better now and I'm not in a hurry. "

"...Alright."

Xiao Keji thought for a moment, but did not persist. Jing Xing had not grown up yet, and his enemies were not dead yet. It was too early to die now.

Jamel Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Keji said: "Now the Japanese bandits have scattered and fled, and those they captured were all dead soldiers. They took poison and committed suicide before being interrogated. Their meeting place cannot be found for the time being, so you should be careful.

Before I came, Du Xuan from a hundred households disappeared inexplicably. The perpetrator was probably Hosokawa Kaede and his gang. They may have known about your existence through secret techniques. Your gunpowder is a great temptation for them. There is no guarantee that they will not attack you. Be careful. some.

I'll go back and check the medicinal materials. Tomorrow afternoon, a deaf-mute man will come to apply for an escort to help you. This man values ​​love and promises. He has received great favor from me and can be trusted. "

"Ok!"

Xiao Jingxing nodded and stood up to see them off.

"Let's go back."

Xiao Keji disappeared without a trace.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Jamxing stood quietly in front of the door, looking at his back and letting out a long sigh.
