Located at the junction of Jiqing Street and Cheung Shun Street.
It is adjacent to the imperial city, so the residences of various dignitaries are gathered here.
The most dazzling thing among them is naturally the newly completed Zhenguo Hou Mansion.
Not only is the mansion huge, but its appearance is very impressive.
Especially the soldiers standing at the door, all of them were murderous and had sharp eyes. They were obviously good men who had truly come down from the battlefield, adding a bit of domineering to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion.
It makes people feel intimidated, and some dare not approach it.
Especially in the past few days, there has always been a loud "boom" sound coming from the Zhenguo Hou Mansion, like thunder on a dry day. It is very scary, which makes people even more afraid to approach.
boom!
There was another loud noise, which shook the walls of the Hou Mansion.
Wang Chaoyun looked at the trembling little courtyard with some worry: "What is Brother Zhao doing? Is he building a cannon?"
"I don't know, but it must be dangerous!"
Thirty-year-old Niang said with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, the faces of everyone around him became nervous.
In fact, it goes without saying that they also know that this must be very dangerous.
Such a loud explosion made them feel frightened when they heard it here, let alone inside.
"No, I'm going to see how Brother Zhao is doing. It's too dangerous for him to do this!"
Wang Chaoyun was a little anxious and couldn't stand any longer. He raised his legs and rushed towards the small courtyard.
Behind her, Thirty Niang, Li Qingque, Qin Cao and others didn't say anything, but they all followed Wang Chaoyun firmly and walked inside quickly.
They were also really worried about Zhao Xiaole's safety.
But at this moment, a thin figure stopped in front of them.
"No, my lord gave instructions before entering. No one can enter this courtyard without his permission, especially you!"
Wang Chaoyun stared at the person in front of him anxiously and said: "Sister Hongni, there is an explosion in Brother Zhao's yard, but Zhao Xiaole has not come out yet. We are worried about his safety."
"What if he has some shortcomings, what do you want us to do?"
Having said this, Wang Chaoyun's eyes turned a little red, and he looked at Hongni with tears in his eyes and said, "Sister Hongni, just let us go in and have a look!"
"I promise you, as long as we see Zhao Xiaole is fine, we will come out and never stay in there for a long time. What do you think?"
"Yes! Sister Hongni, we are just worried about Brother Zhao's safety. If we don't take a look, we won't be relieved!"
"Sister Hongni, aren't you worried?"
Hearing everyone's rhetorical questions, Hongni's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment.
To be honest, she was extremely nervous about Zhao Xiaole, but she would never disobey Zhao Xiaole's orders, so she finally shook her head.
"No, sir, I specifically told you before going in that you are absolutely not allowed to go in. It's too dangerous and you will be hurt."
"We are not afraid!"
Wang Chaoyun suddenly became a little anxious, and rushed towards the small courtyard and said: "We must go to the small courtyard to take a look today!"
They rushed straight into the small courtyard. There were so many people, even Hongni couldn't stop them if he wanted to.
But just as they were about to enter the small courtyard, a biting cold air suddenly enveloped them, making them shiver instantly.
When they looked again, unknowingly, a figure covered in ice appeared in front of them.
Wang Chao Yun frowned. She recognized that this person was Brother Zhao's personal guard. He was always elusive and very skilled. If she were to stop her, there was no way it would be her because of people like them.
opponent.
But her reaction made everyone present happy.
"The Lord has come out, just wait here!"
"Out...out?"
Wang Chaoyun and others were stunned for a moment, and immediately cheered with joy: "Great, it's finally coming out, it made us worried to death!"
Happy smiles immediately appeared on these people's faces.
The reason they had to break in just now was because they wanted to know if Zhao Xiaole was in danger.
Now that they have the answer, they will naturally not break in any more.
Soon, Zhao Xiaole walked out of the small courtyard.
But at this moment, he was very embarrassed.
Not only were some of the clothes torn, but there were patches of black and white on his face, which were obviously smoked by ignited gunpowder.
This made the girls present even more worried.
Li Qingque immediately stepped forward to check Zhao Xiaole's body.
Although Zhao Xiaole repeatedly emphasized that he was not injured, but just a little dirty, Li Qingque didn't listen at all and just checked himself.
When she realized that Zhao Xiaole really wasn't hurt at all, she slowly took a breath and nodded towards the girls.
After getting along for so long, everyone naturally believed in Li Qingque's medical skills. Now when they saw her nodding, the stones in everyone's hearts suddenly fell to the ground and they let out a deep breath.
"snort!"
Wang Chaoyun looked at Zhao Xiaole angrily, and when she was about to ask him what he was doing in the yard these days, her eyes were suddenly attracted by the cylinder-like objects in Zhao Xiaole's arms.
She asked: "You have been hiding in the small yard and making so much noise these past few days just to get this thing?"
After hearing her words, curious eyes immediately focused on the things in Zhao Xiaole's arms.
They also wanted to know what this thing was that could make Zhao Xiaole so fascinated?
With an excited expression on his face, Zhao Xiaole nodded and said: "Don't underestimate this thing. When you really see its effect, you will be amazed by it, and you will even fall in love with it from now on!"
"Um?"
Hearing Zhao Xiaole's confident words, the girls suddenly became more curious.
They have never seen Zhao Xiaole say any empty words or big words.
So he said if something looks good, it must look good!
Chaoyun couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother Zhao, what is the use of this thing? Why don't you demonstrate it to us?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were so curious, the smile on Zhao Xiaole's face became more and more mysterious, and he smiled and said: "No, this thing will only look best if it is released on New Year's Eve."
"You all just have to be patient, I will definitely give you a surprise!"
After hearing Zhao Xiaole's words, no matter how many curiosity and questions they had in their hearts, they all suppressed them at this time, nodded and said: "Okay!"
Looking at the strange thing in Zhao Xiaole's arms, they suddenly looked forward to New Year's Eve.
In the next few days, Zhao Xiaole kept himself locked in the backyard.
Although there are still some explosions, it is much better than before.
And before you knew it, red lanterns were hung in front of every house, and red couplets were pasted on them. Even the dragon dance on the street was red.
The whole world seems to be plunged into a sea of red.
