Chapter 245 The test product is left to Sima Wushuang
Huang Ying looked at her in surprise, "What's wrong with me?"
"I've told you before that this is Sister Hongyu's man. Look at you these past two days..."
Huang Ying obviously didn't realize the difference in her eyes, "He helped me out, I thank him. Besides, I know he is Sister Hongyu's man, and I don't have any thoughts in that regard."
Shen Ziyan sighed, "You, it's best not to have one."
At this time, Chen Xiaobei had already turned around and left. Looking at his back, Huang Ying suddenly felt like she was missing something. Only then did she suddenly become alert, oh my, was she really attracted to Chen Xiaobei?
The day's teaching was over in a blink of an eye, and Huang Ying returned to her room.
On the table in the room was the stone that Chen Xiaobei had given her on the mountain. The stone had been hollowed out and looked like a jar made of stone.
Apparently Huang Ying was not satisfied yet, so she poured a little liquid from a porcelain bottle.
He took some cotton, dipped it in the liquid, reached into the stone jar, and smeared some on the protruding stones.
Eat, eat, eat. The stone made a sound, followed by a puff of white smoke.
Huang Ying took the hammer and chisel next to her and started banging on the inside. Then it tipped over and a pile of stone chips fell out.
After holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully, Huang Ying continued to beat it.
Du Juan next to him smiled and said, "Miss, I'm afraid it will break through if I knock it again, so let's show it to Chen Lichang first."
Huang Ying nodded and then stopped.
"Let's go to my sister's house for dinner and show Brother Xiaobei a look."
As soon as she entered Chen Xiaobei's yard, Huang Ying took out the finished stone jar before eating.
"Brother Xiaobei, look at it, is it okay to cut the stone like this?"
Chen Xiaobei took it and took one in his hand to examine it. Not to mention that it was made very finely, it was better than he expected. The most important thing was that the opening was small enough.
Great, if it is filled with gunpowder, the explosion should be very powerful.
Of course, this opportunity for testing cannot be wasted. This opportunity must be reserved for Sima Wushuang.
After all, if the experiment is successful, he will be sent to heaven, and if the experiment fails, he will have nothing to lose.
"Okay, I'll try it out next time I go up the mountain."
At this time, Chen Qiaoer came over and took the stone jar from his hand, and said with a smile, "Brother, what are you using this for? Is it for drinking?"
Chen Qiaoer's words made everyone burst into laughter. Cui Hongyu also looked puzzled, "Husband, I don't see the use of such a thing."
Chen Xiaobei had no choice but to hold it in his hand and explain to everyone, "I will fill it with gunpowder and plug it tightly. If it is ignited, it will explode, and the broken stones will injure the enemy." .”
"Yes, yes, this will be very powerful." Huang Ying also added beside him.
Shen Ziyan looked at the stone and asked a soul question, "Would it be more lethal if it were replaced by another stone?"
"Oh, what do you want to replace it with?"
"There are many, iron or ceramic, or I can make one for you out of mud and add gravel into it."
Although Shen Ziyan's idea was a bit wild, it also reminded Chen Xiaobei that yes, he shouldn't be so rigid about stones, he could try anything.
But having said that, the prerequisite for the experiment is that there must be enough gunpowder.
It seems that the thirty kilograms of saltpeter powder ordered from Li Ji's grocery store is not enough.
So we have to continue to decide.
"Huang Ying, I should go up the mountain tomorrow. Prepare more gunpowder at home. If the ingredients are low, tell your sister, she knows where to buy it."
After the arrangements were made, Chen Xiaobei started to think again. Now that several large firecrackers he made have been dried, he just took the opportunity to experiment. Can they be seen from the bottom of the mountain if they are set off at the mountain temple?
"There's still tomorrow. At this time, you all look up the mountain. I'm going to put a large kicker on the mountain. See if you can see it."
Regarding this matter, Chen Xiaobei not only told Cui Hongyu, but also went to the big locust tree to tell Chen Dachun.
When the time comes, a few more people will keep an eye on it, so don’t miss it.
At this time, Liu Rumei and Liu Ce were also making final discussions.
Liu Ce introduced his plan to Liu Rumei, "Chen Xiaobei will send the person down as soon as possible after catching him."
"My plan is to enter the village in the evening. There are many people in the village at this time, so naturally I will see more people."
"After a simple interrogation, you immediately select people and send them to the capital overnight."
"If the traitor wants to contact people outside, he has to leave the village. I have arranged manpower in the streets and alleys, and everyone who leaves the village will take note of it."
After hearing his arrangement, Liu Rumei nodded slightly.
"Your arrangement is considered thorough, but have you ever thought about what if they have another way of delivering the message and the traitor cannot leave the village?"
Liu Ce smiled slightly, "It's very simple. If the traitor is not discovered, the escort team heading to the capital will disappear out of thin air, and then the news of the traitor will naturally be lost."
After hearing Liu Ce's words, Liu Rumei couldn't help but laugh.
"That's right. If it fails once, twice and three times, then the traitor will be useless and will never gain the trust of the master again."
"Yes, Sima Wushuang is an excellent Taoist. At least we can give him two chances. As long as we do our tricks well, we are not afraid that he will not take the bait."
Early the next morning, Shen Xiaobei was going to take people up the mountain.
Cui Hongyu was very reluctant to give up and sent her one ride after another all the way to the foot of Qingniu Mountain.
Chen Xiaobei said with a smile, "Okay, there's no need to send it away. Just stay in the mountain for three days. I'll be back soon."
The village protector next to him couldn't help but jokingly said, "Yeah, don't worry, Sister Hongyu, Xiaobei can't run away."
Cui Hongyu blushed slightly, turned around and ran away.
Watching him go away, everyone burst into laughter.
Normally, the sun would still be quite high when he arrived at the Mountain Temple, but he needed to wait until dark at the Mountain Temple.
So he asked the village guard Chen Daqiang and others to lead people up the mountain first, while he fell at the back.
…
Centipede Ridge has also become lively today.
The main reason was that they got the news that Sun Jian was killed.
Moreover, he was killed by Chen Xiaobei, which made Yang Zhi and the others overjoyed.
Laldo also held up his body and ordered the food and wine to be prepared for a proper celebration.
At noon, the banquet was served. Yang Zhi, Laldo, Yang Chun and others soon became drunk.
At this time, Chen Ermao came to Xiong Fei with a bowl of vegetables and two steamed buns.
Xiong Fei saw Chen Ermao coming and pointed at the Juyi Hall, "Ermao, what are you doing there? It's so noisy."
"Oh, it seems that one of their enemies was killed, and they were celebrating there."
Hearing Chen Ermao's words, Xiong Fei rolled his eyes.
