Liang Xiao lowered his head and put down the black piece of iron in his hand. He was very frustrated. He was considered to be extremely smart in his life, but he had repeatedly failed in cracking the weapons of revival. He was so arrogant that he was inevitably a little discouraged.
'What went wrong?'
Failure after failure made Liang Xiao a little upset.
'Alas, when will the secret be cracked?'
Liang Xiao is of mixed Mongolian and Han descent, his father Liang Wenjing is Han, and his mother Xiao Yuling is Mongolian. His father died at the hands of Xiao Qianjue when he was young, and his mother was brought back to Mongolia by Xiao Qianjue. Xiao Qianjue is his biggest enemy in his life. He is always there.
I don't want to think about revenge.
When he was studying arithmetic in Tianji Palace, although he missed his first opportunity to become a disciple of Dongxie, he later studied arithmetic silently by himself and single-handedly solved nine of the "Ten Mysteries of Tianji", which was world-famous.
Huang Yaoshi was finally moved by his unparalleled talent and finally became a famous teacher.
Five years ago, Liang Xiao officially left the army and embarked on the road of revenge. However, Xiao Qianjue was not an easy person. If Huang Yaoshi hadn't followed him secretly, Liang Xiao would have died many times.
Huang Yaoshi had an eccentric temperament. Although he cared about this young apprentice very much, he seemed very indifferent in his words. He rescued him several times and never revealed his identity.
Xiao Qianjue's trace was hard to find. Liang Xiao heard that he was the master of the Mongolian side, so he pretended to defect to the Mongols, trying to slowly find the trace of Xiao Qianjue. In the process, he accidentally saved the life of the Mongolian general Boyan.
After some conversation, he learned that Boyan turned out to be his mother's senior brother.
Liang Xiao was saved by Boyan, but Xiao Qianjue was his master. When Boyan learned that Liang Xiao's biggest enemy was his master, he was really in a dilemma, and in the end he decided not to help each other.
Xiao Qianjue's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. Boyan knew that Liang Xiao's martial arts skills could not avenge him at all, and he would lose his life if he was not careful. However, Liang Xiao's temperament was extremely strong, and if he tried to persuade him directly, it would probably have the opposite effect, so Boyan decided to
Prescribe the right medicine to lead Liang Xiao in the direction he likes best, hoping to dispel his thoughts of revenge through research.
Facts have proved that Boyan was right. When cracking the weapon of revival, Liang Xiao found the long-lost passion again.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Liang Xiao unknowingly walked to the river bank while deep in thought. A soft female voice came into his ears. The speaker was a round-faced woman.
"Ah, it's Ashue. It's nothing. I came out to relax. Why are you here?"
Ah Xue is Liang Xiao's foster sister who met while searching for Xiao Qianjue's whereabouts. She has no father or mother since she was a child. She lives under the discipline of her master "Xue Fox" Han Ningzi. She has a pure and innocent nature and a heart full of all things.
It was tied to Liang Xiao.
However, Liang Xiao only had a brother-sister relationship with her, not a man-woman relationship. Even so, Ah Xue still had no regrets and stayed with Liang Xiao, never leaving her.
Axue smiled softly and pointed to the clothes by the river: "I'm washing clothes. Brother, are you in a bad mood? How about we stop studying those artillery pieces, okay?"
Liang Xiao shook his head. If he came to study firearms for other purposes at the beginning, then he is really obsessed with this thing now. Small guns and artillery contain endless mysteries. Even though Liang Xiao
Xiao has many shortcomings, but he is not lacking in resilience. Even a small difficulty cannot defeat him.
Besides, it’s not like he has achieved nothing in recent years. If it weren’t for him, how could the Mongolians have assembled firearms on a large scale? In addition to firearms, he has recently become obsessed with steam engines. In the past two years, the Renaissance Army, oh, no, it should be called the
Daming.
In the past two years, the Ming Dynasty laid railroad tracks on the Central Plains, and a new mode of transportation officially appeared on the stage. The Ming Dynasty called it a "train". This new thing has a transportation capacity a hundred times that of a horse-drawn carriage, and its power is a smoking machine. The Ming Dynasty
Call it a 'steam engine'.
The principle of the steam engine is very simple, and it didn't take Liang Xiao long to figure it out. In addition to studying firearms in the past two years, he also tried to build a 'steam engine'. There was a prototype stolen by the Mongols, and Liang Xiao quickly restored it.
However, the steam engine he restored cannot be compared with the original version in terms of lifespan and performance, just like the firearms studied before.
After two years of on-and-off research, Liang Xiao was indeed a genius, and he actually developed a steam engine, but the manufacturing process he tinkered with could not meet the needs of large-scale mass production.
Axue said dejectedly: "It's all because Axue is too stupid. He hasn't learned anything my brother taught me, and he can't help me in any way."
Liang Xiao laughed, stepped forward and rubbed her bun.
"What are you thinking about, stupid girl, this is none of your business."
The slightly intimate gesture made A-Xue's face blush. Fortunately, she lowered her head so that Liang Xiao couldn't see her. When Liang Xiao's hand left her head, she suddenly changed the topic with a groan.
"Oh, I forgot, my brother's favorite snow pear soup is being stewed in the kitchen." As he said that, he ran back quickly, shouting as he ran: "Brother, please pack up your clothes by the river, I will
It’s all washed!”
Liang Xiao chuckled when he saw this and whispered to himself.
"I always lose things, ugh."
The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind, and cattle and sheep can be seen low.
Liang Xiao carried the washed clothes and walked back slowly, admiring the unique beauty of the grassland. The Mongols retreated steadily on the frontal battlefield and retreated all the way to the grassland.
‘Perhaps we should go out for a walk to find inspiration? By the way, take Axue out to relax?’
After two failed revenge attempts, Liang Xiao realized the gap between himself and Xiao Qianjue. His original intention of studying firearms was to deal with Xiao Qianjue. In addition to studying firearms, he spent all his time in these years.
When it comes to practicing, my life is quite boring.
Liang Xiao knew very well what kind of temperament Ah Xue had. She was always with him because of her restless nature, living a life like an ascetic. He actually felt a little guilty in his heart because all her best years were wasted on him.
Liang Xiao is not a fool. He knows what Ah Xue wants, but he can't give her what she wants. There is someone else in his heart.
'That's all, let's stop researching for a while.'
After drying the laundry, Liang Xiao walked to the kitchen, and a scent of fragrance hit his face. Hearing the sound, Ah Xue hurriedly put down the spoon and looked back at Liang Xiao.
"Brother, are you hungry?"
"The pear soup will be ready soon. When the time comes, you can put it on the table and I'll cook it right away."
Liang Xiao shook his head with a smile: "No, I'm not hungry. Wait, Axue, didn't you keep saying you missed Ronaldinho some time ago? It just so happens that I also want to go out for a walk. Let's go back to the Central Plains to have a look."
Ashue's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Really?"
