Chapter 53 Ship Trial

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Li Yuanjing tested three more in succession. The effectiveness of these three simple and low-end grenades was quite good, and none of them was a dud.

And because of the rumbling sound of this waterfall, it is impossible to hear the movement here in the village two or three miles away.

"Master, you, this is really a magic trick. If such a sharp weapon is used to kill the enemy, what can the enemy use to stop it? I'm afraid even the heavily armored soldiers will be seriously injured."

Zhang Kun's face turned red with excitement and he didn't know what to say.

As a veteran who had been on the battlefield, he naturally quickly understood how terrifying this thing was.

Yuniang and Daya were also dumbfounded.

These two girls never dreamed that the power of the things they made could be so terrifying...

No wonder Li Yuanjing had strictly ordered them not to touch any sparks...

"call."

Seeing that the effects of the four grenades were quite good, Li Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.

Daqian seemed to have gunpowder at this time, and Mao Fugui was a professional firecracker.

but.

For various reasons, the gunpowder of the Great Qian Dynasty is a bit hard to describe...

Although the gunpowder Li Yuanjing secretly made at this time was not considered a powerful black gunpowder, because it added an appropriate amount of sugar, its effectiveness was basically satisfactory to Li Yuanjing.

"The effect is not bad. Okay, let's go back."

Li Yuanjing asked a few people to pack up the remaining grenades and return, and then said to Zhang Kun:

"Brother Zhang, no one can know about this matter again, do you understand?"

Zhang Kun naturally understood what Li Yuanjing meant and nodded quickly:

"My boss, I understand! It's just that..."

As he spoke, he suddenly smiled bitterly and couldn't help but swallow the words when they reached his lips.

It would be great if he didn't break an arm at this time...

Li Yuanjing naturally noticed Zhang Kun's sadness, smiled and patted his shoulder and said:

"Brother Zhang, don't worry. In the future, there may be better weapons that you can use."



When the group returned to Li Yuanjing's house, the old village chief and others had already made preparations.

Several long wooden poles, like sedans, lifted the ship in the middle.

Under the orders of the old village chief, twenty strong men worked together and easily lifted the boat.

The old village chief personally opened the road in front, and Li Yuanjing personally blocked the way behind. The group of people rushed towards the bank of the rolling Yishui River in the deep night.

Li Yuanjing thought for a long time and brought not only Liu Gang but also Wang Liu.

Mainly at this time, although Li Yuanjing already knew a lot of information about Huangniwa and speculated that Huangniwa might be an important stronghold of Wenxiang Sect, this information was still too thin.

There is no reason why Li Yuanjing should be more thoughtful!

after all.

He still has six grenades. If something unexpected happens on the road, and with the spare strength of so many of them, he will at least be able to fight back.

normal status.

To drive from Quanzi Village to the Yishui River, you need to first take a detour to Pijiazhuang, and then take the official road from Pijiazhuang to a village called Majiabu. Only then can you reach the Yishui River.

This round trip is almost forty miles away.

But Liu Gang has been working as a shopkeeper in Lucun Town, and he knows a shortcut.

Just walk along the river upstream of the big spring in Quanzi Village, walk about ten miles, go around a valley, and you will reach the bank of Yishui River.

Li Yuanjing basically had Wang Cuihua in his hands at this time, and naturally had a strong restraint on Liu Gang.

But for the sake of safety, he still carefully questioned Wang Liu to ensure that this road was feasible before letting everyone go.

After walking for seven or eight miles without encountering any obstacles, Li Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief.

Mainly the cold weather at this time helped a lot.

The tidal flats on both sides of this small river are frozen solid, and there are no problems with overloaded grain trucks.

Even if there are problematic areas, with so many of them, it will not be difficult to bake the soil and cover it with soil.

But when they arrived at the valley, Li Yuanjing and everyone encountered difficulties.

This small river does not go through the valley, but runs parallel to Yishui.

The mouth of the valley is extremely narrow, and the terrain inside is quite complicated. It is basically a virgin forest, and it can only be bypassed by going up a steep slope here.

The old village chief was speechless when he saw the terrain. After a long while, he said:

"Yuan Jing, if that doesn't work, let's let the men suffer a little more, and let's take the official road of Pijiazhuang. It's better to go no matter what."

Li Yuanjing frowned and said nothing. After a while, he asked Liu Gang next to him:

"Is the road on the slope easy to walk?"

Although Liu Gang didn't know what Li Yuanjing was going to do at this time, he seemed to understand Li Yuanjing's position in Quanzi Village at this time, so he hurriedly said respectfully:

"Sir, it's easy to walk up there. It's just this slope. There is also a slope near Yishui River, which is a bit difficult..."

Li Yuanjing nodded slowly and said to the old village chief:

"Uncle, what I want is that we climb over this slope today and take a look at the terrain first. If possible, we can test the boat tonight and then send someone directly over tomorrow to pad the slope! Look.

how?"

"this……"

The old village chief seemed to have never expected that Li Yuanjing would be so stubborn and embark on such a big project...

However, he already knew Li Yuanjing very well and quickly reacted.

The reason why Li Yuanjing did this must have his own reasons, and he couldn't explain it to outsiders. He smiled and said:

"Yuan Jing, I will listen to you on this matter!"

Li Yuanjing and the old village chief quickly reached an agreement, and things became much simpler. A group of men quickly got to work.

Tonight, I will simply put some soil on it to ensure that the boat can go up, and then I will finish it carefully tomorrow night.

And just when everyone was busy busy.

This way.

Wang Liu's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly.

She bit her red lips tightly, wondering what she was thinking about.



The soil slope was quickly paved, and Li Yuanjing and his party continued to move along this small ridge.

As Liu Gang said.

Although the road on the ridge is not easy to walk, it is still relatively smooth until the descent near Yishui becomes more difficult.

But with the experience of padding the slope in front, it is naturally not that difficult to pad the descent here.

What excites Li Yuanjing even more is!

Because of the barrier between the valley and the tidal flats, the only village nearby is Majiabu Village, which is a little over ten miles upstream, while the Chenjiadu Ferry is more than twenty miles downstream.

As a result, this area is completely no man's land.

And on the other side of the river.

It looks almost the same.

Liu Gang usually takes this road to get home from work.

Come here first, then cross the river at Chenjiadu Ferry.

This may seem like a long way, but it doesn't have to go through the wilderness outside the village, and naturally avoids those terrible disasters.

Liu Gang also told Li Yuanjing that this was a road he only discovered three years ago, and only a few people knew about it.

Liu Gang said this lightly, and Li Yuanjing remained calm on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart as he suddenly figured out something.

Since Liu Gang only discovered this road three years ago, what happened to Wang Liu?

in particular……

Wang Liu’s skin is really a bit too good...

Even though she is extremely talented, it is obviously not something that ordinary people can raise, especially at her age!

But at this time.

Li Yuanjing forced himself to suppress this doubt, and asked everyone to go down first and go to the river to test the boat first.



Because Quanzi Village is an inland village, even though it is very close to the rolling Yishui River, there are only a few people in the village who are good at water.

Fortunately, the old village chief thought of this in advance and called his two nephews who were working on the river near the county seat to help.

This solves the problem perfectly.

soon.

This small grain transport boat, which was about ten meters long, was pushed onto the Yishui River outside the ice. The two nephews of the old village chief took off their clothes and went to punt the boat with their shirts off.

And while everyone was frightened, the large ship carefully built by Li Yuanjing, Zhao Zengjin and others floated steadily on the water.

The two nephews of the old village chief, whose surnames were Yang and Yang Day and Yang Er, pushed the boat directly to the center of the river. There was still no problem and they pushed the boat back with smooth wind and current.

This made everyone very happy and couldn't stop cheering.

Especially for Zhao Zengjin, the suppressed excitement was about to burst his heart.

But Li Yuanjing's expression was full of coldness and not a bit happy.

When Yang Dayang Er came back, he greeted him directly:

"Put on the sand and earth bags and see how many sand and earth bags this ship can hold!"

"Uh? Yes!"

Only then did everyone react and quickly began to collect sand and soil bags around them.

And at this time.

In an inconspicuous corner behind the crowd.

Seeing that Li Yuanjing was so thorough in his work, Mrs. Wang Liu couldn't help but frown even more tightly, looking at Li Yuanjing's tall back with indescribable complexity.
