Xie Jingxi only wanted to dive into the hole that Xie Jingyu dug and never come out.

How could Gu Yun tell the Old Man Ji about this kind of thing? The key was that the Old Man Ji really cared about him, and even gave him a book of the eighteen types, that's fine, but don't say it, there were so many people here, and even the Old Madem, how could he let this person live!

Old Madem's thought process was a bit off, and she had probably not managed to react to what Xie Jingyu had said. Even though Xie Jingyu had a vague idea of what was going on, he was still confused, and was only relatively sensitive to books. "Eighteen forms? What kind of book is that, Sister? Are you learning kung fu? "

Xie Jingxi, "..."

Old Man Ji did not understand the meaning of the words at all as he explained, "The 18 forms are indeed a little exaggerated, but it can definitely be said to be extremely exquisite. If only I could understand the profoundness behind it, it would be indescribably wonderful.

"Grandfather!" Xie Jingxi immediately cut him off, "What do you want to eat at noon? I will ask some people to prepare it.

"Eastern Slope Meat!" Ahhh my good wife, you truly understand my heart the best, don't you dare tell Mother Chen and that stinking brat Gu Yun that they don't even let me eat meat, my days are really bitter! "

Xie Jingxi understood and nodded to him, "Don't worry, I promise I won't say it out loud. There's not only meat, there's also wine."

"Aiya, my mother, I was so right to move here. How could that little bastard Gu Yun have such a good life, to marry such a good wife …"

Old Madem was still confused as she said, "You can't eat too much meat when you're old, so you shouldn't just let your grandfather be."

"I know my grandmother, so I'll just eat to make him happy." As long as he didn't mention any of the 18 styles, he could eat anything he wanted.

However, the inquisitive Young Master Xie and the Eighth Master Xie still looked baffled. Just what kind of book was it …

"Don't stop Jingyu brat, if you can't dig it out today, you should at least give him food." The Old Man Ji led Xie Jingyu here and there with a complacent look on his face. However, poor Xie Jingyu, this young master who had not been working his entire body, was sweating profusely under the sun, fighting alone for the sake of thanking the Eighth Lord for the fish pond.

Gu Wan did not know how to settle the situation, but when the two of them came out at lunch time, they went their separate ways, ignoring each other, and Sheng Luan's eyes had a clear bruise, as though he had been beaten up.

Xie Jingyu this curious baby once again asked: "Brother Sheng, what's wrong with your face, do you want to take a bath or something? It's going to swell up."

Sheng Luan sat down, picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat, then mumbled: "It's okay, I got bitten by a dog."

Gu Sansi who was somehow carrying the blame looked at him with a pitiful gaze, as if to say Big brother loves you, why would he bite you?

And can a dog bite like this?

Gu Wan slapped the table, "Pretty boy, who are you calling a dog?"

Sheng Luan snorted as he chewed. "Who bites?"

"Aiya, you brats really don't make people worry. How can you quarrel while eating?" The Old Man Ji scooped a few pieces of meat into his bowl and filled his mouth with satisfaction, "Little Sheng Luan, this won't do, how can I let my wife bully my own head. I have a secret technique in my room that specializes in teaching men how to use the east slope meat, quickly give me the last two pieces of meat, I'll give it to you, so you can do whatever you want, you don't even have Gu Yun."

The ornate rice in Sheng Luan's mouth sprayed out, causing him to be overjoyed. He directly bit into the meat that was not yet broken into pieces, and filled his stomach with satisfaction.

Xie Jingxi was about to cry, she was too caught off guard and did not defend against Old Man Ji's mouth, this time she was not afraid that the other party would not understand, even Old Madem reacted, her face turning green.

"Senior Zhang, are you joking?" Sheng Luan didn't come back to his senses for a while. There was such a book in this world, although he didn't need it at the moment, he really wanted to read it!

"How could I joke around? If you don't believe me, ask outside …"

Xie Jingxi quickly stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, "Grandfather, if you don't eat anymore, there won't be any meat left."

Sheng Luan's eyes turned to Xie Jingxi, and Xie Jingxi's face flushed red, as though he was answering without any questions. Gu Wan came back to her senses and slapped Sheng Luan's head, "Bastard, hooligan, look at your vulgar eyes!"

"Also, I'm not his wife, but my grandfather. I'm not blind, how could I fancy such a shameless hooligan!"

"Isn't it the future now? We've already slept together, it's just a matter of time!"

Gu Wan, "..."

Sheng Luan, "..."

Why did it turn out like this?

Only God knows.

The meal was so chaotic that it was hard to believe. The Old Madem went to take a nap, while Xie Jingyu continued to dig pits. Sheng Luan had nothing better to do, so he took out the Fire Rod's design and studied it.

Xie Jingxi glanced at it, and immediately became stupefied, wasn't the diagram produced by Yang Shouli, although it was different from what she had seen before, but the brush technique was not wrong, which meant that Yang Shouli was still alive?

Xie Jingxi walked over and took a look at the ratio of the gunpowder, adding some of the ingredients she had told him before, it was definitely true. The reason Gu Yun spent so much effort was to save Yang Shouli's life, so that he would naturally become a non-existent person, and with that, he could secretly produce more gunpowder.

Gu Yun's thoughts were extremely deep, but no matter what, it was fortunate that Yang Shouli was still alive. After all, it was not easy to obtain such a talent, so losing him would be a pity.

"Sheng Luan, did Master Yang give you this map?"

"Hmm? Didn't you know? I wanted to ask you, but Big Brother Gao also told me that sister-in-law helped him a lot, and some people who don't understand even wanted to ask for help. Oh, he changed his name now, it's Lord Yang. "

It was no wonder now, when Gu Wan heard them talking excitedly, she also came over, "What are you guys talking about, what kind of map is this? Oh, you know about this, pretty boy?"

"Go play on the side, what do kids know!"

"Hmph, so what if you look down on people. If you can afford to draw one, how can I not understand? I've even touched the West Ocean Fire Rod before, only your General Sheng can't do it!"

"Your ability isn't small. You've even touched it before. If you have any good ideas, feel free to share them with me."

Gu Wan snorted, "Back then when I went to the palace, I saw it at His Majesty's place. I also saw a book passed down from Xi Yang, where it was specifically written to make fireballs and firearms, but that book was filled with foreign languages and no one could understand it."

"Does His Majesty even have such a book?" Sheng Luan rubbed his chin, looking eager, "I'll go steal it another time."

"Stolen? Do you understand? " Xie Jingxi thought for a while, "Sheng Luan has been at the coast all year round, so he should have come into contact with foreign languages before.

Sheng Luan shook his head, "I don't really understand it, but I do understand it a little, so I have to find someone to translate it for me. On the other hand, Gu Yun knows a little more than me, so when the two of us add it together, we should be able to see 20-30% of it."

Gu Yun knew this? Xie Jingxi was extremely surprised, but was His Majesty really going to steal it?

I feel that I don't necessarily need to steal a book, and even if I stole that book, I might not be able to understand it. I might as well take out a fireball and see, maybe Yang, Big Brother Gao can make it out. As for gunpowder, we also have our own books.

"What Jingwan said makes sense. If it's the Fire Rod, we should still be able to find it." Gu Wan agreed.

"The Fire Rod is still secondary, after all, this thing can only defend itself, if we really fight it won't be of any use at all. What I'm concerned about is the guns, or even the ships, our Great Chen is way too weak."

When Sheng Luan talked about all of these things, his entire body was radiating with light. He probably didn't even realize it himself, and when Gu Wan unwittingly stared blankly at him, he probably didn't either.

That night, when Gu Yun returned, he started chatting with him. "Sheng Luan is indeed not bad, talking about his family's situation is really strange, even a young master like him is rarely seen."

Gu Yun unhappily raised his eyebrows, "Did he tell you about the firearms?"

"En, why didn't you tell me that Yang Shouli is still alive? I even felt sorry for him for a long time.

Furthermore, other than Sheng Luan and King Jin who know, the rest are also hiding it from us. After all, the less people know about it, the better. "

Xie Jingxi leaned against the soft couch with a free book in her hands, while Gu Yun wrote on the table. The good thing about staying here is that no one is able to disturb me, after eating, I will either sit down and read or chat, it's so cozy.

Xie Jingxi said: "Today, hearing Sheng Luan talk about the things outside, I feel that my usual life is too narrow, walking all around the four walls, really like a frog in the well."

Gu Yun raised his eyes and glanced at her, the brush in his hands did not stop, "This is still unknown, if you want to go out, you can bring you out to sea, but Sheng Luan is relying on this brat to get rid of this little miss, don't listen to him speak in all seriousness, the one who was most unreasonable back then is him, no matter what you say, you will not like those things from Xiyang, but now you are more enthusiastic than anyone else."

had become more and more curious about Gu Yun's past, and he had the nagging feeling that Gu Yun had experienced many things in his life that he had never experienced before. "Sheng Luan said that you know foreign language, and it really gave me a fright."

"Hmm? Do you feel that your husband is charming now? If you're interested, I'll explain it to you slowly in the future. There's a lot of time, you don't have to rush to understand it all.

It has been a long time, but both of us still have unsolved secrets. Unraveling layer after layer is the best gift of the year, and Xie Jingxi felt that from then on, she would never be lonely again.
