Since the end of the bandit suppression, Jin Feng has been searching for Mr. Feng, but has never found him.
Later, Mr. Feng planned the siege of Wulang Mountain and led Jin Feng, the main force of the Escort Bureau, and the soldiers of Jinchuan Prefecture to Wulang Mountain.
He went through all the troubles, all for the purpose of assassinating the Ninth Princess.
But he didn't expect that the Qingshan County bandits were so unbeatable. Thousands of bandits were defeated by Jin Feng in less than a day. Jin Feng and Qing Mulan received the Ninth Princess in time.
Even so, Mr. Feng still did not give up.
In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, he prepared several backup plans. If the water bandits failed, there would be successive assassinations.
The battle on the hilltop is just one of them.
The main bodyguards, Guangyuan and Jinchuan's soldiers were all lured away. Even if Jin Feng received the Ninth Princess, it would be difficult for him to reach Xihewan alive.
But who knew that Jin Feng actually took the Ninth Princess to the salt factory and waited until the main bodyguards gathered before setting out again.
In fact, until Mr. Feng sent people to besiege Qing Mulan, Jin Feng never thought that he was so bold as to dare to assassinate the princess.
After sorting out all the clues, Jin Feng was shocked.
Mr. Feng's scheming is really deep, and his plans are linked one after another.
It's a fluke that the Ninth Princess can survive to this day.
If he hadn't happened to meet Guan Zhuzhu, if the Qingshan County bandits hadn't been able to hold on for one more day, if the bodyguard hadn't recognized Xizuo, if Jin Feng hadn't gone to the salt factory after picking her up, but had chosen to return to Xihewan, the Ninth Princess would have been
died.
After that, the Zhongming Group, Ninth Princess and Qing Xinyao's informants all worked hard to find Mr. Feng.
It's a pity that Mr. Feng is protected by party members, and they can't even find any clues.
In desperation, Jin Feng and Ninth Princess planned such a trick.
Not only did they send bodyguards to pretend to be laborers, but they also mobilized a large number of secret agents to completely block all routes to the party!
Qing Xinyao also dispatched a navy to blockade the Jialing River. As long as Mr. Feng is still in Xichuan, he will be found out sooner or later!
After cleaning up the battlefield, it was already dark and it would definitely be too late to go to the inn, so the Ninth Princess had no choice but to order the camp to be set up on the spot.
While the soldiers were encamping, Pearl came back.
"Your Highness, the prisoners are all abandoned by the party. They only know how to ambush Your Highness here and don't know where the war horses came from."
Pearl reported back: "Also, the escort who went to search the woods found two catapults."
"You are really willing to spend money!"
The Ninth Princess had already guessed that the prisoner was an abandoned son of the party, but she did not expect that the other party actually brought the catapult: "Did they build the catapult themselves?"
The catapult was leaked to the party, and the Ninth Princess was always very angry.
But the deal is already done, and once the technology is leaked, it is impossible to take it back.
"No, when they got to the woods, the catapult was already there," Pearl replied.
"Fortunately, the scouts discovered it in time. If we had come within the range of the catapult, we would have been in danger this time."
Qing Mulan was also a little scared.
"They are very good at choosing places. This forest is the only way for us to pass through, and they have just come out of the mountains. They will definitely relax their vigilance and be very tired. It is the best place for an ambush."
The Ninth Princess looked around and commented: "I thought they would do it in the mountains."
When going down the mountain, she specifically ordered to rest for an hour at the foot of the mountain, just to wait for the assassination.
As a result, the party members did not ambush at the foot of the mountain, but chose here.
This place belongs to Mianzhou County. That night, the Mianzhou County Sheriff came with five hundred soldiers.
The Ninth Princess could no longer trust the Guangyuan soldiers, so she replaced them early the next morning and asked Captain Xiao to take them back to wait for their fate.
The official road was muddy and the Ninth Princess' team walked very slowly.
Fortunately, the Mianzhou County Sheriff brought more soldiers, who could help the workers push the carts, otherwise they would not be able to leave at all.
The Ninth Princess and the others were trekking hard, and Jin Feng was not idle at Xihewan either.
After more than ten days of hard work, Jin Feng finally finalized the raw material formula ratios of several common glasses and successfully produced flat glass.
I have been living and eating in the glass workshop for more than ten days, and it can finally come to an end.
After going home and taking a good bath, Jin Feng wandered to the smelting workshop early the next morning.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw an extra iron frame in the workshop.
I saw a female worker turning the hinge arm on one side of the iron frame to move the iron ore.
This piece of iron ore weighed at least several hundred kilograms, and the female worker easily lifted it up.
After the female worker put the iron ore away, Jin Feng walked up quickly and walked around the iron frame to watch.
Usually the iron ore bought from the iron smelting workshop is in small pieces weighing tens of kilograms, and such large pieces are rarely found.
The products made are generally not very heavy, so Jinfeng does not make lifting equipment. Occasionally, if there are heavy items, a few people can lift them together.
However, the iron frame used by the female workers not only has a hinged arm, but is also equipped with a gear set. Although it is very crude, it already has the prototype of a winch, which can lift heavy objects with very little effort.
"Who did this?"
Jin Feng pointed to the iron frame and asked, "Is it a full warehouse?"
Mancang is a person who has endured hardships and has a disability, so he is very grateful for his current life and is extremely diligent in his work. He tries his best to complete the tasks assigned by Jin Feng every time.
He also managed the smelting workshop and trained female disciples with all his heart.
It's a pity that Mancang's talent is limited and he can learn things quickly, but he lacks creativity. He learns whatever Jin Feng teaches and does whatever he is told, and basically doesn't know how to adapt.
No one is perfect, Jin Feng is already very satisfied with the full warehouse.
Of course, it would be better if he could figure it out.
"Sir, it's not Mr. Mancang, it's... my brother taught me how to do it!"
The female worker was afraid that Jin Feng would be angry with her for wasting steel, so she quickly explained: "Sir, these iron pipes can still be dismantled and used, and these gears... can be deducted from my wages later."
“Why should something so useful be dismantled?”
Jin Feng comforted: "Don't worry, I won't deduct your money, and I will reward your brother!"
"Thank you sir!"
The female worker had a lot of contact with Jin Feng. Knowing that Jin Feng kept his word, she immediately stopped worrying.
"Your brother must be very powerful if he can do this."
"Yes, my brother is very smart."
When the female worker heard Jin Feng praising her brother, she was even happier than he was praising her. She smiled and said: "He could read when he was three years old and read when he was five years old. But his temper is too boring and he doesn't like to talk. He knows how to get it every day.
A tree branch is writing and drawing on the ground, and I don’t know what he is drawing.”
"He's still a little genius. Where is your brother? Bring him to me."
Jin Feng asked with a smile.
This guy sounds like a man of science and engineering. If he has good character, he can be considered as an apprentice.
"My brother is in Tincan Mountain. I will ask for leave from Mr. Mancang later and bring my brother here."
