The last three kingdoms

Chapter 490
Chi Ying couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, there was nowhere to find it, and it didn't take much effort to get it. I was really worried about how I could find a craftsman who was willing to defect, but I didn't expect to meet him here.However, although Chiying was happy in his heart, he still said calmly on his face: "What is your name, where is your family name, and what kind of work do you do in the raw material workshop?"

The man tremblingly said: "The villain's name is Hu Liu, a native of Shu County, Yizhou. He has been helping the raw material matching work in the raw material workshop since the establishment of the gunpowder workshop. It's just that the villain is stupid by nature, and most of the others who entered the workshop at the same time are already He is a craftsman, but the villain is still an ordinary craftsman, so he has been repeatedly bullied by the steward."

Raw material compatibility?Chiying was even more delighted, although Hu Liu is not a master craftsman, he has spent enough time in the raw material workshop, and he must have a comprehensive grasp of technology.The key is that the Wei State now knows very little about the raw material formula, and there is an urgent shortage of talents who are responsible for the raw material formula. Now that Hu Liu's arrival can be regarded as a timely gift, as long as he is willing to defect and escape from Guanzhong, the Wei State is very likely to grasp it. The core technology of gunpowder.

In the past, most of the craftsmen that Chiying came into contact with were from other types of work, and there was always a gap in the compatibility of raw materials. Chiying was very interested in the craftsmen of raw material compatibility, but the internal defense of the gunpowder workshop was extremely strict. , Chi Ying is not in charge of the guards in that area, and if you want to get in touch with craftsmen in raw material compatibility, it is completely rare.

However, Hu Liu's unexpected appearance made Chi Ying a surprise, but Chi Ying was not dazzled by the great joy, but rather cautiously said: "According to the regulations of the workshop, anyone who leaves without authorization must Severe punishment will not be given, and anyone who harbors a fugitive without knowing it will be the same crime. As a member of the guard, I was ordered to guard here to prevent you and others from attempting to defect. Get up, I can’t help you, you still Go back to the camp by yourself, or you will be escorted back by me, and you will be tortured."

Hu Liu's face was pale, and he knelt down on the ground, begging for mercy constantly: "Master, please save me. If I go back to the camp now, the person in charge will definitely vent my anger and revenge. The villain's death is not far away, please be merciful , save the villain’s life.”

Chi Ying shook his head and said: "I'm very sorry, it's my duty, and I can't help you."

Hu Liu knelt down and couldn't get up, washed his face with tears, and said sadly: "Master Jun, please...have pity on the poor guy..."

At this moment, a few people rushed over from the direction of the gunpowder workshop. Hu Liu looked at it from a distance, and his face was ashen with shock, and he shouted: "Master Jun, help, that pursuer is Tian Tian of the workshop." Steward, if the villain falls into their hands, he will definitely die without a place to bury him, please save my life, Lord Jun."

Chi Ying nodded slightly at this time, and said: "Okay, you can take shelter at the back for now." Chi Ying pointed to a cave on the left.

Hu Liu is thin and thin, but his movements are quick. As soon as Chi Ying told him to take shelter in the cave, Hu Liu moved like a rabbit, and fled to the cave. His movements were as fast as the wind. Eagles are amazed.

Those few people came from the bottom of the mountain, and quickly climbed up the hillside. The leader was obviously the Tian Guanshi that Hu Liu mentioned. He had a swollen face and a fierce appearance. Did a craftsman pass by here just now?"

The artisans and the guards originally belonged to two different systems within the gunpowder workshop, and they had no affiliation with each other. Although Na Tian's steward had a high title, he could not control the guards. His scope of duties was only to manage the artisans.

However, Tian Guanshi has always been used to being arrogant, and he didn't pay attention to these big soldiers at all. When he came up, he yelled arrogantly and authentically, and even the soldiers around Chiying were quite upset. When the commander or Sima came out to reprimand him, they could only accept it silently, but Tian Guanshi looked like he had his nostrils turned upside down, what the hell is that onion or garlic?
The faces of the soldiers were very ugly, but with Chi Ying around, it was naturally not their turn to speak.Chi Ying was very calm, and didn't throw face at Guan Shi Tian because of his attitude.

"I'm sorry, I have been waiting for a long time, but I didn't find any suspicious people passing by here."

Tian Guanshi snorted coldly, and said: "Harboring a fugitive, knowing it but not committing it, is a felony, and that is by no means something you, a petty senior, can bear. Hand him over quickly, if you are sensible, otherwise you will be sentenced to the crime of harboring. You can't eat and walk around."

Chi Ying said neither humble nor overbearing: "I've never seen anyone passing by, so how can you harbor criminals? It's a joke!"

"Then do you dare to ask this steward to go forward and search?" Tian steward sneered.

Chi Ying also said coldly: "I was ordered by the deputy commander to guard the cliffs of the back mountain. How can I allow you to run wild here, let alone harboring criminals? No one has the right to search for Vice Commander Shen's order."

"You—" Tian Guanshi couldn't help being furious, Chi Ying, a small boss, dared to contradict him like this, it was the opposite! "I think you have a big problem here. The escaped craftsman must have been hidden by you. Come and search for me!"

When Tian Guanshi gave an order, several subordinates immediately rushed up like wolves and tigers.

Chi Ying proudly took a step forward, "clanged" the knife in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "According to the order of Deputy Commander Shen, anyone who trespasses on the cliff without permission shall be killed, and whoever dares to take another step forward, don't blame him for being ruthless! "

When the ten soldiers under Chiying's hands saw Chiying's attack, they were naturally not to be outdone, they showed their knives and guns one after another, blocking the way of Tian Guanshi and the others.

Manager Tian and his subordinates manage and restrain craftsmen on weekdays, and have never seen real swords and guns. Their most powerful "weapon" is the leather whip. As for the shining swords and guns, they don't have them at all. used.

These guys who are used to pretending to be majestic in front of craftsmen on weekdays are actually hard-headed guys. When they saw Chi Ying making a real move, their faces turned pale immediately, and they hesitated and dared not go forward.

Guanshi Tian scolded angrily: "You wine bags and rice bags are really useless. I don't know what use you are for? Good boy, you dare to cover up fugitives. When I report to Commander Ding, I have to show you!" Tian Guanshi cursed, but he It is helpless, although his grade is higher than Chiying, but at this moment, he has nothing to do with Chiying.

Chi Ying said proudly and impertinently: "I will accompany you to the end!"

Seeing that he couldn't get any advantage, Tian Guanshi retreated resentfully.
