Seeing a panic flashing across Chai Jin's face, Sun Tu's mouth also raised, but his tone was still calm: "Now your life and death are only in my mind. I don't even have to do it myself to put you in a place of irreversible consequences. I hope you can think carefully about it and make a decision."

The muscles on Chai Jin's cheeks trembled slightly, and then said, "Do you think this can scare me? Just by these few words, I want me to bow to you and the Song Dynasty court? Don't forget my origin. Why did my Chai family fall to the point where I have to rest today? Isn't it that the Zhao family plotted against me?"

"Do you join Liangshan because of this reason?" Sun Tu asked slightly, and Chai Jin's cold snorted. This made him laugh: "I didn't expect that you really have some ideas, but you found the wrong way. Do you think that those bandits on Liangshanpo can really be a big deal? In my opinion, they are just a group of bandits and a group of mobs. Although there is a lot of noise now, it is because the court did not really take them as a confidant. If it really annoys the court, I can destroy the entire Liangshan village by just one place in Shandong!"

Chai Jin wanted to say that he was boasting, but when he thought that Liangshan Army had suffered several defeats under his command, he even fell into his hands this time. He couldn't say such doubts, and he could only hum again: "People like you don't understand what brotherhood is, they only know how to use each other. What's the difference between it and beasts?"

Sun Tu was not angry because of this, but just smiled and shook his head: "Think about it carefully, should you sacrifice your life and follow righteousness or submit to me? But there is one thing I can tell you that being under my jurisdiction may not necessarily be considered as submitting to the Song Dynasty court!" As he said that, he stood up: "My patience is not infinite. I will give you two more days to think about it carefully. Whether it is life or death is actually yourselves."

Chai Jin was stunned by his statement that surrendering to him does not mean surrendering to the court. Even when Sun Tu and the others left, they didn't notice it. After a while, a strange look appeared on his face: "What does he mean? Could it be that Sun Tu actually had other intentions?" Then, he suddenly thought of his identity as a descendant of the Chai family. Did Sun Tu insist on taking him under the tent because he was interested in his identity?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this judgment was reasonable. This made Chai Jin's body tremble violently again, but it was not caused by coldness or frightening, but it was aroused. Maybe, this is really an opportunity!

"The Chief Supervisor is indeed a good method. After saying this, he really moved that guy." After leaving the door, Zhu Biao couldn't help but exclaim. He was present all the time, and saw Chai Jin's reaction in his eyes: "We have not been able to shake him in the slightest use of both soft and hard work before. How did you do it?"

"Actually it's very simple. Because I had already predicted that he had no desire to die, he had already mastered the initiative of this conversation from the very beginning." Sun Tu explained with a smile.

"But he obviously acted not afraid of death before..."

"It is different from being afraid of death because it is not afraid of death." Sun Tu glanced at him and explained patiently: "What he showed is not afraid of death is just a disguise, so that we cannot use force against him. But in fact, this official Chai is very lucky, so how could he really want to die?"

"Have Dujian seen through your thoughts long ago? But how did it do it?"

"It's very simple. If a person really wants to die, will he be placed under house arrest here with peace of mind? Also, he is so particular about food and clothing, how can he not cherish his life? I can only determine from the fact that he asks the guard for smokeless animal charcoal and delicacies, and I can't even dare to die. As long as he masters this, he will naturally be unable to escape my control."

Zhu Biao then understood the whole story and couldn't help but exclaim again: "The chief of the capital really has a look of a torch, and he can't hide anything from you. I admire you."

"The matter is not yet finalized, don't rush to flatter me. I will leave it here to take care of you. I will have a definite result within two days." Sun Tu brought Zhu Biao here for this reason. Because the generals in the city had nothing to do with him and Chai Jin, the others even Wu Song had been kind to Chai Jin, so this kind of forced act could only be left to Zhu Biao to do.

Zhu Biao had no psychological burden, so he immediately agreed with his fists.

After dai came out of this house, Sun Tu did not rush to return to the military camp, but came to the door of another house two or three streets away. Like the yard where Chai Jin was placed under house arrest, the guards here were quite strict. If you look closely, you will find that there are guards in all four directions of the house, and there are only two empty houses nearby, so from the perspective of defense, it is even better than Chai Jin.

More importantly, everyone knows the generals in the army who are under house arrest in Chai Jin, and even many people know that Sun Dujian imprisoned a certain prisoner in a house in the city, but only a few people know about the house here.

Only by using the incision code to open the back door of the house, Sun Tu was able to enter this courtyard that looked very ordinary on the surface. After seeing more than 20 Qingzhou veterans inside, he nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to walk inside, and soon came to a courtyard blocked by an iron gate. It was not until Sun Tu used his token to indicate his identity that his name and de facto master of Qingzhou was now able to enter it unimpededly. Just this series of defenses can show how important this place is to Sun Tu and Qingzhou.

There were many bottles and colorful paper boxes piled up in the yard. At this time, a middle-aged man came out with a bottle. When he saw Sun Tu, he was stunned at first, and then bowed and bowed: "I have seen Sun Dujian." Even so, it was hard to hide the joy and excitement on his face.

Seeing this, Sun Tu's eyes immediately fell on the bottle he held: "How is it, can it succeed this time?"

"It should be much stronger than the ones made in the previous two times. Please step back and look at it." As the man said, he had put the bottle on the open space, pulled up the cloth circumference on both sides, then took out a fire stick, and then blew it up to a thin thread about a foot long dragged at the mouth of the bottle.

The line burned quickly, and Mars spread and drilled into the bottle. At the same time, the man hurriedly retreated and pulled the cloth circumference up completely. He was waiting there with anticipation. After a while, with a muffled bang, the bottle was broken, and the fragments flew out in all directions, just hitting the cloth circumference. Some of the fragments even tore open the holes on the cloth circumference and jumped out.

This scene made Sun Tu's eyes lit up, and the middle-aged man was even more excited, clenched his fists with both hands, and shouted loudly: "It's done! I finally did it!" The sound came out, and immediately attracted people from several other rooms. Some men in his costume were as good as him, and they ran out in a hurry: "It's done?" Then he looked at the many damaged cloth circumferences, and exclaimed: "It's done!"

It was not until a few cheers that they found Sun Tu was in front of him, so they hurriedly saluted him: "I have met the governor."

"No need to be polite!" Sun Tu also looked happy and walked over and patted the person on the shoulder hard: "What's your name? This time I have made great contributions. I thought you would have to spend several months to figure out the trick. I didn't expect that it would be a first result in less than two months."

"Little Man Ding Yin." The man's face turned red with excitement. After a moment, he thought of something: "In fact, this is not only my credit, but also the result of everyone's attempts together. Moreover, if the Dujian had not given us the sample at the beginning, we would have never imagined that a few simple things would have such powerful power together!"

"Music means merit, everyone has merit. And this gunpowder is much stronger than what I gave you before. Don't worry, as long as things are made, I will never treat you badly!" Sun Tu made a promise with joy, and his eyes fell on the cloth that was cut by pieces of porcelain bottles. He already had expectations in his heart. If the gunpowder is truly energy-generating and put into battle, his Qingzhou army would be enough to fight against the powerful northern cavalry!

Yes, this tightly guarded house, which is considered the most secretive in Qingzhou City, is the research and development and improvement of gunpowder. This is an important move that Sun Tu began to arrange after returning to Qingzhou from Xixia and successfully seized power.

With the previous visits to Liao and Xia countries, Sun Tu saw that the combat effectiveness of these two countries was so strong. Although the Qingzhou army may not be weaker than them, how many troops in the Song Dynasty could compare to the Qingzhou army? Not to mention that the strongest army now does not come from these two countries, but from the Jurchen Jin Kingdom.

Since he knew that the Song Dynasty might have suffered a lot in the war with these countries, Sun Tu naturally could not sit still and wait for death. Training the troops of various states and making them stronger as soon as possible was only one aspect. What he cared more about was the development of firearms. As a firearm, its fundamental lies in the power of gunpowder, so finding relevant craftsmen to study gunpowder became the key.

Sun Tu's only advantage is that he had already stored a lot of fireworks from later generations in his warehouse. However, because of safety reasons, the power of these fireworks was not very good, so he took out the gunpowder inside and asked the craftsmen to improve it based on this.

After a few months of research, they really lived up to Sun Tu's entrustedness, and based on the original gunpowder, their destructive power has been greatly improved. Although it still looks a bit simple at this time, as long as this critical step is taken, the subsequent things will become natural.
