As for how to make homemade gunpowder, Qi Xiao has already figured out the corresponding detailed countermeasures.
What's so difficult about this?
Gunpowder is a mixture of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal.
In other words, as long as you obtain these three necessities, you can tinker with this kind of thing.
Let’s talk about it first.
There is no need to worry about charcoal. There are piles of charcoal beside the stove in the imperial dining room. You can take as much as you want with just a small greeting.
As for saltpeter, it is a necessity for making ice. It is midsummer now, so there must be a lot of it in the palace. Just send a little eunuch who makes soy sauce there, and you can carry more than a hundred kilograms back.
There are also feasible ways to obtain sulfur. I remember that Taishi Meng Lanshan once said that sulfur is one of the commonly used Chinese medicinal materials for making ointments, and there will never be a shortage of it on weekdays. Judging from this, there must be a pharmacy in Taiyuan Hospital.
Some storage. In this case, wouldn’t it be much easier to handle?
It is not difficult to defeat each of the three major items.
After Li Hongyu heard this, he immediately showed an expression of admiration and said: "My brother, how do you know so much?"
Qi Xiao pouted and smiled, his nostrils pointing to the sky: "You have to remember, this knowledge is called science, not some heresy. My father once said that whoever masters the way of science has mastered it.
The whole world!"
After saying that, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and then changed his words: "The role of science is mainly for national construction, and the military aspect is only a very small part of it. Don't judge the whole based on one part."
Li Hongyu suddenly said: "I understand, the way of science is broad and profound, covering all aspects of the world. Whoever learns it will be the best among men."
Qi Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said with a somewhat gratified tone: "Your Highness is really a smart man, he can explain everything at once and make sense at the first glance!"
While we were chatting, we suddenly saw a little eunuch running over.
Before he could stand still, he panted anxiously: "Your Highness, you have been urinating for too long, right? If you don't go back to the study, your Majesty will scold us again."
Qi Xiao hurriedly answered on his behalf: "No hurry, no rush, we both have to go out for a while. After we have completely resolved the three urgent matters, we will rush over and study hard."
Um?
Can peeing and ejaculation be done separately?
Aren’t normal people just along for the ride?
However, the little eunuch just thought about it in his mind, how dare he really say it out loud?
It took the two of them a total of half an hour to finish, and then they reluctantly returned to the study place.
It gives people the feeling of grinding and grinding.
…
A relaxing and enjoyable day finally came to an end.
After having afternoon tea, Qi Xiao immediately said goodbye to the prince Li Hongyu and left the palace directly to go home.
He is a day student granted by the emperor, and he can come and go freely without any trouble or obstruction.
It is precisely because of this that he compared entering and leaving the palace to returning to his home.
Back to business.
As soon as I walked out of the palace gate, I saw a eunuch hurriedly bringing the horse over.
Then, he waited on the little ancestor to get into the car and sit down.
Look at the pick-up and drop-off service in this car, and the treatment is pretty good. Even if Qi Yu saw it in person, he wouldn't be able to say anything.
When I returned home, the sun had just touched the western mountains, so it was still early.
After getting out of the car and entering the hospital, Qi Xiao was immediately stunned.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a middle-aged man, who was tied tightly with hemp rope and dressed in a Chinese robe, kneeling outside the courtyard.
Standing next to him was none other than Mr. Huang Feihuang, who had disappeared for a long time.
But his little aunt Yin Tao was glaring at the kneeling man with her phoenix eyes angrily and her silver teeth clenched.
Huh?
Who is this person?
Since Qi Xiao didn't recognize him, he had no choice but to lean in front of Huang Fei and whisper relevant inquiries.
The latter told him calmly that this person's name was Wei Zeng, and he was the prince-in-law of my Dafeng dynasty!
Yes!
This person is none other than Wei Zeng.
Now, he has a frightened expression and an earth-colored face, just like a ruffian in the market. He has long lost the slightest trace of elegance he had in the past.
this……
What happened?
There are indeed some unexpected twists and turns in this.
In fact, Huang Fei's disappearance was not because he was killed by someone or was hunted by someone. On the contrary, he took the initiative to track down those people with ulterior motives.
On the day of the accident, after disguising himself, he was setting up special security guards in the Qijia courtyard to provide safety protection.
It's a coincidence that just after the project was completed, someone stepped on the 'land mine'.
The warning sound of the jingling bell was very loud, giving him an important opportunity to take action.
Faced with the sudden attack, Huang Fei's reaction was extremely fast, and he directly hit the unknown invading enemy with a knife.
Suddenly, an eye-catching blood stain was left in Qi's yard.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed and suffered an unbearable but not fatal stab wound, the mysterious man who attacked immediately gave up the planned second attack and instead turned back and fled.
Huang Fei shot down another one and followed it without hesitation.
Because, he has already launched a cold murderous intention.
Murderous intent?
Yes!
This is not to say that he is very loyal to Qi Yu, but because he feels the danger.
In the fight between Shicai, he keenly judged the opponent's martial arts inheritance, or what he called the opponent's true background.
If the guess is correct, the other party's identity should be the same as his own, and he was both a guard.
If I hadn't received special guidance from Tong Yanhuo, I would probably have suffered a big loss in this fight.
If you think about it carefully, this matter is a bit complicated.
Perhaps out of subconscious self-protection, Huang Fei immediately decided that he must kill the opponent and silence him.
Otherwise, you may expose your identity and be arrested by the head of internal security for questioning.
His sixth sense told him that if he saw the emperor, his life would probably be in danger.
Because, as long as he dies, no one in this world will know that he killed King Yongchuan.
Therefore, that person must die.
One of them chased, the other escaped, and soon they were outside the capital.
Finally, after more than ten intense pursuits like hares and falcons, Huang Fei finally caught this mysterious man who was seriously injured.
He showed no mercy to his colleagues.
Just strike hard.
Finally, he used castration as a threat to force the other party to reveal the inside story.
The result was surprising. This man was not sent by the emperor, but because he was in urgent need of money, he was temporarily hired by the consort of the Guard who was recruiting experts.
The prince-in-law was also very generous and directly promised him a large sum of money to kill the people on the list.
On it are the names of Yin Tao, Qi Xiao, and even Qi Yu's cousin Zhou Chunsheng.
In terms of motivation, of course it is revenge.
If it weren't for Qi Yu, how could he have ended up in this situation?
If I don’t take revenge for this, I swear I won’t be a human being!
