Chapter 196: Killing intent

Then Sun Zhengping looked puzzled: "Why did the boss write a bloody letter?" This was too troublesome. Sun Zhengping couldn't help but touch his forehead, looking confused.

Ou Sheng frowned and looked puzzled: "I can't understand this, but since this is a bloody book written by the boss, there must be a whole story, and we should find out."

Nodding, Sun Zhengping had another question: "Shopkeeper Ou, how did you get this blood letter?"

Ou Shengluo recalled that he had just passed by and said, "Just now, I went out to do something and was walking on the street. Suddenly, he jumped out alone, scolded me for cheating him on money, and punched me again. I was stunned, shocked and angry, and was about to beat him up, but then I recognized that he was a prisoner in the prison before, named Wu Xiaomin. He couldn't help but wink at me, and when others were not paying attention, he stuffed this thing into my hands. I knew something was wrong, so I pretended to be a thief and hid in the dark, and found that he was with a few children."

"How can I believe the criminal? I think this matter is no big deal. I just send someone to Chang'an to ask the boss." Sun Zhengping had no good feelings for the criminal.

Ou Sheng shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Sun, this Wu Xiaomin is not a traitor. The reason why he went in was because of the matter in the fields and land. He had a dispute with others. He failed and beat the person to abolish him. He dared to act and not only did not escape, but instead surrendered himself. The emperor issued a grand amnesty for the world. He was released from prison early. I have been in prison for so many years, and I think he is honest and not good to him. If there is no major event, he would not do this. The whole story must be found out."

The amnesty is equivalent to our current amnesty. It is usually held during festive seasons such as the emperor ascending the throne, the emperor or the emperor's birthday, and any criminal who is misdemeanor or who is almost full of his sentence will be pardoned. Of course, death row prisoners will not be pardoned, but death row prisoners will be treated better at this time.

There is another situation where the world is amnesty, that is, the important foreigners come to the court. The great victory in Tubo is much more important than that of foreigners come to the court. When Emperor Ruizong was happy when he received the news, he issued an order to amnesty the world. Wu Xiaomin was fortunate to be listed here.

"As you say that, it's time to check it." Sun Zhengping thought about it and agreed.

Ou Sheng reminded him: "Shopkeeper Sun, only you and I know about this, don't tell anyone."

Sun Zhengping nodded and said, "This is certain."

After the two agreed, Ou Sheng rushed back to the old house of Zheng Mansion and called Shi Dazhu and said, "Master Shi, I want to go to a place. You can accompany me to go there, okay?"

"No problem! Shopkeeper Ou, should you take a few more brothers?" Although Chen Wanrong and the escort agency agreed that Shi Dazhu and the others would only protect the house and ignore the matters outside the courtyard, but because Chen Wanrong and the Yanwei escort agency had an extraordinary relationship, it could be said that they were sharing life and death, which had long exceeded this regulation.

Ou Sheng shook his head and said, "No need. Just go with me."

Shi Dazhu naturally had no idea. He rode his horse out of the old house with Ou Sheng and rushed straight to the west. After Ou Sheng had been to Xigou Village, he could be considered a revisiting place for the old place. After rushing for a while, he was about to arrive at Xigou Village. Ou Sheng found a place, tied the horse, and walked with Shi Dazhu carefully to Xigou Village.

Looking at Ou Sheng's careful appearance, Shi Dazhuda was surprised: "Shopkeeper Ou, what are you doing? Could it be that you are the captain again and are going to catch the thief?"

"Be careful, maybe there may be people from the martial arts world here." Ou Sheng reminded.

"A man from the rivers and lakes?" Shi Dazhu didn't believe it: "In the remote place of Xigou Village, even if you are a year or two, you won't come here. How could there be a man from the rivers and lakes?"

Ou Sheng’s view is different from him: “The reason why Xigou Village has a word for ditch is because it is very deviant and there are many hills and roads. There are generally no characters in the martial arts world. If there are, there must be major plans, and it is best to be careful.”

Shi Dazhu had been walking around the world for a long time, and knew that what he said made sense, he didn't dare to be careless. The two of them carefully touched it. Not long after, they came to a high hill, and Ou Sheng climbed onto a tree, hid it, put on a pergola in his hand, and looked into the distance. They saw thick smoke rising from a separate courtyard, and several people were busy.

This courtyard is Wu Xiaomin's home. Wu Xiaomin once had a good family background and built some houses. Ou Sheng knew Wu Xiaomin's family background very well. It was impossible for him to have so many people in his family. These people walk calmly and powerfully, and are definitely figures in the martial arts world.

Shi Dazhu also saw it clearly, looked surprised and pointed at the courtyard. Ou Sheng nodded, observed for a while, and tried hard to search for Chen Wanrong's figure, but could not find it. He winked with Shi Dazhu and went down the tree.

Needless to think about it, there are people lurking here, so there must be hidden stakes. However, Ou Sheng and Shi Dazhu are both skilled in the rivers and lakes, so they would not find hidden stakes. With the protection of plants and trees, they secretly touched them out.

When they arrived at the Tibetan horse, the two flew on horses and galloped away. On the way, they didn't say a word, just rushed to the road. When they returned to the old house of Zheng's mansion, they entered a room and closed the door. Shi Dazhu said strangely: "What are those figures in the martial arts world doing there? What attracts them in such a remote place in Xigou Village?"

These are certainly questions, but Ou Sheng is more concerned about one issue, that is, how did Chen Wanrong's blood letter come to Wu Xiaomin? Could it be that Chen Wanrong is in Xigou Village? However, Ou Sheng observed it for a while but did not find it.

Maybe Chen Wanrong was in the house, but he didn't find it. However, Chen Wanrong was no longer the same as Chen Wanrong. He is now a famous artillery general, a hero who fought against Tubo, and he has guards in and out. Even if someone wants to harm him, he will not succeed. He cannot be in Xigou Village.

If he said he was not here, how could Chen Wanrong's blood letter fall into Wu Xiaomin's hands?

The two very contradictory questions made Ou Sheng unable to understand. After thinking for a while, Ou Sheng made up his mind and said, "Master Shi, please tell me about Zhao Bottom and ask him to send some people to watch this group of people in Kuxigou Village. I'll go to Chang'an for a trip. Remember, no matter what, you can't alarm the snake, you have to wait for me to come back."

"What's the price for you to go to Chang'an?" Shi Dazhu was very curious about what this matter had to do with Chang'an.

Ou Sheng couldn't explain it clearly, and said, "I went to Chang'an to meet my boss, and maybe I could get an answer from my boss. In any case, it would be not a good thing for these people from the world to appear in Xigou Village."

What he thought was that if Chen Wanrong was really in Xigou Village, then things would definitely be complicated. However, he was not sure about this matter. If he was there or not, he would understand it if he went to Chang'an.

Shi Dazhu nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Ou is right. There will definitely be no good things for these people to come here. You have to pay attention to them. Don't worry, I'll tell my master now."

The escort agency is particularly sensitive to people in the world. When Zhao Xiaotian heard about this, he would definitely find out the truth. Ou Sheng was very relieved. At that moment, he briefly explained the matter in the mansion, rode his horse, and rushed to Chang'an.

After Wu Xiaomin and the others left, Mei Xuan took as much as possible to get Chen Wanrong's secrets, and then sucked Chen Wanrong's idea of ​​killing Chen Wanrong, asking Chen Wanrong to tell me something about artillery.

When talking about artillery, it means artillery. It hits Chen Wanrong's thoughts and grinds his teeth with Mei Xuan, saying something big but unreasonable. In order to explain a small problem, Chen Wanrong can talk about it for a long time, and all kinds of metaphors are used, one metaphor after another, and one problem, Chen Wanrong can say more than a dozen metaphors.

Mei Xuancheng is a smart person. Although he doesn’t know much about technology, he doesn’t need so many metaphors. He said calmly: “If you dare to ramble again, I will cut your tongue.”

"Okay! You cut! If you cut, I won't tell you. You will never think of these secrets." Chen Wanrong actually agreed very much, almost making Mei Xuancheng faint.

After a moment of silence, Mei Xuancheng continued to threaten: "Without tongue, you can still write."

When Chen Wanrong heard this, he was absolutely excited and laughed: "Then I have to thank you. Master Mei, you know that my writing skills are far from being too bad. Even Meng Tong's calligraphy is better than me. I'm afraid that I can't recognize it. Just wait, I always have time to practice calligraphy well."

Chen Wanrong's calligraphy is extremely different and is unique in the Tang Dynasty. The shortcomings were very useful at this time, and Mei Xuancheng couldn't help but be stunned. Although Mei Xuancheng was extremely smart, when encountering someone like Chen Wanrong, who could even use the shortcomings, it felt like he was biting a turtle and had nowhere to slap.

Mei Xuancheng was not the kind of person who gave in. He said coldly: "You can't say it, you can't write it, you can still do it."

Chen Wanrong didn't care at all, drew a few circles with his right hand and asked, "Sir, do you know what this means? I can do it, but I'm afraid you won't understand."

Not only a few circles, who can't understand? Mei Xuancheng pulled the corner of his mouth and answered disdainfully.

Chen Wanrong said a big truth: "I am a set of boxing styles, all of which are arcing and circles. Do you want to get it?"

Isn’t the widely circulated Tai Chi boxing a curve? There are circles in the Tai Chi boxing circle, which are round and free, but the martial artists of the Tang Dynasty have not yet understood this level. Naturally, everyone of the martial arts scholar Mei Xuancheng doesn’t believe it: “You can also do boxing?”

On the battlefield, Chen Wanrong can take artillery to charge, not because Chen Wanrong’s personal martial arts is so strong, but because of his excellent artillery. If you talk about personal martial arts, Chen Wanrong is too far behind artillery artillery, can Mei Xuancheng take it to heart?

"You don't believe it, right? OK! I'll call you." Chen Wanrong thought to himself that he was trying to get time and find something to do if he had nothing to do. He stood up and acted in Tai Chi according to the moves he remembered.

Tai Chi is widely circulated. Although Chen Wanrong has not practiced, he still remembers some moves and gestures according to the same gourd. Mei Xuancheng is a great expert. He knows at first glance that Chen Wanrong has never practiced and is making random gestures. At the beginning, he was so disdainful that he didn't even say anything. However, not long after, Mei Xuancheng's pupils suddenly shrank. From the eyes of his expert, it can be seen that Chen Wanrong's moves are not very good, but there is another level of martial arts.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt it made sense. Mei Xuancheng hoped that Chen Wanrong would continue to gesture, but Chen Wanrong sat down: "Do you understand? I told you that building cannons is a hundred times more complicated than this. You can't even understand this. Do you still want to understand building cannons? Do you want to chop your hands? Do you want my right hand or your left hand? It's okay to give them both hands together."

Mei Xuancheng felt helpless when she saw Chen Wanrong's appearance of not being afraid of boiling water. Mei Xuancheng was very helpless. Mei Xuancheng was dominant in the world, and many smart people fell in front of him, but she was so embarrassed that she was just a person like Chen Wanrong and was the first time she encountered him in her life.

Just when Mei Xuancheng was depressed, Chen Wanrong spoke again: "Mei Xuancheng, it is actually not difficult to understand the principle of making artillery." Mei Xuancheng loved to hear these words, and couldn't help but shine and stare at Chen Wanrong.

I just heard Chen Wanrong say: "You just need to understand the truth, that's fine."

It's like not saying it, who doesn't know this?

Chen Wanrong continued: "It is not difficult to understand the truth. You just need to grasp the rules. I will tell you these rules now."

How much difference is there when the principles and rules are used in this regard? Mei Xuancheng knew that he had to go around Chen Wanrong, but when he heard that Chen Wanrong wanted to tell him about artillery, he had to endure the upset and prick up his ears to listen.

"If you want to make artillery, you have to understand the laws of artillery. What are the laws?" Chen Wanrong began to explain continuously: "Rules are truth! What is truth? Truth is essence! As long as you understand the essence of artillery, you will understand why artillery should be done, why can it be fired, and why can it have such great power. What is essence? Essence is like a person's heart. If there is no heart, can people still jump around like this? No! The same is true for artillery."

He talked a lot, but it was empty and even more circumvented than boring logic. Mei Xuancheng listened for a long time but couldn't hear a Mingtang. However, this matter was related to artillery, so he couldn't help but listen patiently.

Seeing Mei Xuancheng's unhappy look in his eyes, Chen Wanrong almost laughed in his heart and sighed in secret, "This person, if you don't care, you will be confused!" Mei Xuancheng, such a smart person, has to be patient and let me mercenary when he encounters his most worrying thing."

After a pile of empty nonsense, another eloquent speech was thrown out, but there was still nothing practical. After talking about useless things for a long time, Mei Xuancheng couldn't stand it and was about to have an attack. At this moment, Chen Wanrong said: "After saying so many reasons, you should understand."

"I understand your nonsense!" Mei Xuancheng finally broke out.

Chen Wanrong ignored him and continued, "I will tell you that if you refine gallbladder, this is an essential raw material for making gunpowder. Without gallbladder, gunpowder will definitely not be made."

Is black gunpowder related to gallbladder? It has nothing to do! With gallbladder, black gunpowder cannot be made, and nothing is right. However, only Chen Wanrong understood this. Mei Xuancheng could not understand these things, and he could only listen.

"What is the component of calcification? In my words, it is copper sulfate pentahydrate. How is it formed? That is because after oxidation of copper, it absorbs water and becomes calcification. I wonder if you have noticed that calcification mostly appears in the deposits of abandoned copper ores, and the reason is here." Chen Wanrong finally said the scientific truth, but is this related to making gunpowder?

Although Mei Xuancheng didn't know that this had nothing to do with making artillery, he still had to think that what Chen Wanrong said was reasonable, at least one thing was certain. It was absolutely true that alum would appear in the abandoned copper deposits, and he couldn't help but nod.

"This gallbladder is a treasure!" Chen Wanrong praised: "After my treatment, the gallbladder will produce sulfuric acid. With sulfuric acid, it will be much more convenient to make this gunpowder."

"Sulphuric acid?" Chen Wanrong's heart suddenly jumped, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Sulphuric acid can hurt people. If it is done, I will throw Mei Xuancheng on his face while she is not paying attention. He will definitely be in great pain. I can run away with Brother Wu."

Chen Wanrong once killed people with sulfuric acid. At that time, he said that he needed sulfuric acid, but he was just talking nonsense and didn't care. Now, when he suddenly thought about it, he couldn't help but be very excited. He looked at Mei Xuancheng for a while and thought, "Mei Xuancheng is very skilled in martial arts and is very clever, far from being comparable to others. Even if I do it, I can't spill sulfuric acid on his face. I have to find another way to do this. Even if I spill sulfuric acid on his face, it will not take his life. At most, Brother Wu and I escaped, and we still cannot eradicate this big problem."

Since the party with the Crescent Moon, Chen Wanrong has never had peace of mind. His family is not safe, so he has to be on guard at all times. He has been living a very unhappy life. Chen Wanrong can't help but warn himself, "You must think of a way to kill Mei Xuancheng!"

Chen Wanrong is now in Mei Xuancheng's hands. He has no chance to kill Mei Xuancheng, but just think about it.

At this moment, Wu Xiaomin and the others came back. The people bullied Wu Xiaomin and asked him to carry the raw materials, which made him sweat a lot. The reason why Chen Wanrong had to prescribe so many raw materials was to buy more time for Wu Xiaomin, but he didn't expect that he would be very tired. He couldn't help but regret it. If he had known, he would say less.

When Wu Xiaomin saw Chen Wanrong's face, he flashed at Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong was very happy and the news was sent out.

Chen Wanrong did not just be happy, but looked gloating and circled Wu Xiaomin for a few times, and couldn't stop laughing: "You are a mess, and you are today! Everyone, why don't you add some stones? He's so tired."

"You are more cruel than me!" Mei Xuancheng couldn't help but smile when he was accused of Chen Wanrong's way of slapping people.

Wu Xiaomin cooperated very well, but still looked scared. When he put the raw materials on, he ran away as if he was flying.

"If it's missing, you'll look good!" Chen Wanrong threw a sentence at Wu Xiaomin fiercely, strode over, and checked the raw materials, including sulfur, saltpeter, alum, gallbladder, and charcoal.

"When you start to build a pot, make alum first, deal with alum, and finally make saltpeter." Chen Wanrong thought to himself that it was time to fight for Geshuhan and others to rescue him, so it would be best to do this backwards.

Mei Xuancheng also guarded against this and said coldly: "Make saltpeter first, then alum, and finally alum. Chen Wanrong, don't play tricks with me. The more you put it in the end, the more important things you make, so this leader decided to do important things first."

According to Mei Xuancheng's idea, the most important thing is to understand it first before making this arrangement.

This sudden statement was beyond Chen Wanrong's expectations, but he had to accept Mei Xuancheng's bright and quick experience.

"Just do it! There are many ways to make saltpeter. Will I definitely make saltpeter according to the method of making gunpowder? A joke!" This matter was not difficult at all. Chen Wanrong added some mixed methods to get it in. One effort turned into ten effort. Isn't it time to win?

After making up his mind, Chen Wanrong was about to make arrangements. Suddenly he thought of a solution and said excitedly: "Mei Xuancheng, you want me to make saltpeter first, this is your own way of death, and I can't blame me!"
Chapter completed!
