At the end of December, the fifth year of Jian'an.
After killing Guo Yuan, Cao's army in Hongnong County crossed the Yellow River and occupied Shaanjin and Dayang.
However, due to the heavy snowfall and extremely cold weather in winter, Cao Jun had to temporarily withdraw his troops and wait for the next spring to regain Hedong.
Kanto has also temporarily entered a brief period of peace, but the game between the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang has just begun.
Chenliucheng, Hussar General's Mansion.
The night before keeping watch on New Year's Eve, at the hour of Xu.
Lu Yan pulled Lu Lingqi to a corner of his backyard.
Lu Lingqi saw Lu Yan's sneaky look, so she asked: "Sir, is there anything that can't be solved in the bedroom?"
"This matter really can't be solved in the house..."
"If we were outside, would there be too much noise?"
"It will be very loud, and people in the whole city and even the whole county may hear it."
"Ah...this...isn't that embarrassing..."
Lu Yan turned around and stared at Lu Lingqi's red cheeks in confusion, and asked: "We will do this kind of thing every year and festival from now on. What are we ashamed of?"
"Ah! Do you still have to come here every year or festival?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?" Lu Yan couldn't understand what was going on in this woman's mind. Why was she making such a fuss over a trivial matter?
Shaking his head, Lu Yan let go of Lu Lingqi's hand and walked to a corner of the wall alone.
Lu Lingqi saw Lu Yan moving things back and forth many times, and finally realized that she seemed to be overthinking...
Her face was so hot that Lu Lingqi wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Fortunately, Lu Yan didn't think too much. After he moved the things on the ground, he put his hands on his hips and said, "Ha! Done!"
"Sir, what are you doing?" Lu Lingqi smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar smell in the air and couldn't help but frowned and asked.
"You'll find out later..." Lu Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "Should you point this lead or should I point it?"
When Lu Lingqi saw the lead in Lu Yan's hand, she was so frightened that she exclaimed, "Fire...!!!"
"Keep your voice down! Don't wake up those naughty kids!!!" Lu Yan quickly covered Lu Lingqi's mouth. The strength of the acquired peak master was revealed at this moment.
Lu Lingqi was suppressed by Lu Yan and couldn't move. After a long time, she said softly: "Is it okay? You have been suppressing me for almost half a quarter of an hour..."
Lu Yan let go of his hand and said jokingly: "I haven't seen you say anything for half an hour..."
"Bah!" Lu Lingqi pouted at Lu Yan in embarrassment.
After regaining consciousness, Lu Lingqi pointed to the blurry shadow on the ground and said: "Sir, I have seen the power of gunpowder. Even the walls of Yecheng can't withstand it! Do you want to blow up our house?"
Bar?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Yan rolled his eyes at Lu Lingqi and said, "In addition to being made into explosives, gunpowder can also be made into other interesting things, such as fireworks."
"Fireworks?!" Lu Lingqi's eyes widened when she heard the name, "The name is nice...but what exactly are they? These boxes of dark things don't look like flowers.
"
"You'll know later... By the way, don't you really want to click the lead?" Lu Yan once again tempted Lu Lingqi and said.
"Not even... not even to death!" Lu Lingqi shook her head like a rattle. It seemed that the power of gunpowder had left a strong shadow in her heart...
"Then I'll do it...you retreat to the corridor. The noise will be louder later, please cover your ears." Lu Yan warned again and again, his palms already sweating from nervousness.
Although the craftsmen in the workshop have tried it countless times, when it comes to actually using it, they are still a little nervous.
Although there was no way to create all kinds of fireworks in later generations, craftsmen still created some fireworks with the most basic shapes and several colors.
"Old Geng, Old Geng, I have staked all my wealth on you, don't let me get into any trouble!"
After praying, Lu Yan lit the fuse with a fire stick...
Xi Zhicai finally returned to the Hussar General's Mansion from his temporary residence in Xuchang. He had been in poor health in the past, so he had never married and had children.
As his physical condition has improved in recent years, this matter has also been put on the agenda by Lu Yan and Cao Cao.
Xi Zhicai, who used to be lonely in the past, has been living in a temporarily rented house in Xuchang for the convenience of work and the possibility of being summoned by Boss Cao at any time.
That is to say, during the holidays, he would return to Chenliu to have dinner with Lu Yan and others.
It was only during tonight's drama that I felt some changes in my mentality.
In the past, I was so focused on my work that I didn't feel anything. But tonight, after meeting Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, and his wife and children, Xi Zhicai was lying alone in bed, and suddenly felt a little empty, lonely, and cold.
On the other side, Guo Jia was testing his son's homework in school; Huang Zhong was reading Journey to the West to Huang Wudie and Huang Xu; Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, Tai Shici and Dian Wei were playing mahjong, while Chen Dao was farting.
He mixed tea and water for them, and expressed his own opinions from time to time.
Tonight, peaceful and quiet...
Suddenly, Zhao Yun's hand, which was about to take down Ergong, hovered in the air...
"What's wrong, Zilong, hurry up and fight!" Dian Wei urged angrily.
Zhao Yun asked: "Did you hear anything?"
"Sound? What sound?" Taishi Ci listened carefully, but there was indeed no sound, so he stared at Zhao Yun with suspicious eyes and said, "Zilong, don't try to divert our attention, quickly play the cards in your hand!"
"
"Bah, bah, bah..." Lu Yan had already lit the fuse, and then ran to Lu Lingqi's side from a distance.
"I...I seemed to hear the sound of 'bah ba ba'..." Zhao Yun said, with sweat on his forehead, "It sounded...somewhat like..."
"What's the babble? I'm still banging! Hurry up and show your cards!" Xia Houlan stared at Zhao Yun's hand. He had a hunch that Zhao Yun's card would hit him!
"Am I hallucinating?" Just when Zhao Yun doubted himself and was about to take down the cards, a harsh scream suddenly sounded!!!
"call out!!!"
"Bang!!!" Then there was a huge explosion!
"Boooooooo!!!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Most of the people in Chenliu City have already rested.
A sudden loud noise came from the sky and blasted them out of the room one by one.
Liu Bei and Mao Jie were still reviewing the documents in the governor's house at this time, and they were also shocked by this series of noises.
The sound came so suddenly that Liu Bei was caught off guard and the pen in his hand was so frightened that he dropped it to the ground.
He bent down to pick up the pen and asked Mao Jie: "Mr. Xiaoxian, what's going on? Why is the thunder so sudden and dense?"
Mao Jie seemed to be quite calm. After reviewing the last document, he said: "Generally, if any strange situation occurs, it is probably caused by Lu Changsheng..."
"Ah! It has something to do with Lu Qianqi???"
Just when Liu Bei wanted to ask something, Zhang Fei's loud voice sounded outside: "Brother! Come out and see the gods!"
