Chapter 242

The whole mining area, play black powder the most powerful teacher Fu, known as "cattle five fingers.".

That's not the real name, of course. In order to prepare black powder to help mine ore, in this lifetime, there are only five fingers left in "niuwuzhi", which are irregularly distributed in two hands. He has three apprentices, the least of whom has been with him for 40 years. The youngest one is 58 years old, and none of them has been a teacher.

Because both the master and the apprentice felt that they had not yet learned how to cook.

This group of four teachers and apprentices are well-known in Xiangzhou mining area. Because the black powder they make up every year can make the ore production in the mining area increase several times. From mine managers to ordinary mine friends, no one worships them. It seems that the people of Tang Dynasty realized that "science and technology is the first productive force".

As a result, Niu Wuzhi and others are really cow, of course, refers to temper. It is said that they can't put any other things in their eyes except flint and mining area. You don't have to say anything about mine managers and mine friends. Even the county magistrate of Xiangyang County and others have to give up their mind when talking to them -

they have to roar loudly, but they can't roar fiercely. Otherwise, when Niu Wuzhi's temper comes up and he gives up his job, the whole Xiangyang County Government will be miserable, and the imperial court will assign him the task of paying tribute. Then you can't hand it in.

Of course, the accompanying yamen officer told Qin mubai. The name of Niu Wuzhi is so loud that it is almost known to all women and children in Xiangyang County. There are often women who frighten children crying in the middle of the night like this: "if you cry again, you'll be caught by Niu Wuzhi!"

So the child stopped crying. Try everything.

"Xiangyang is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. I didn't expect such a big man!" Qin mubai was very happy after hearing this. Even if he didn't deserve gunpowder, he had to meet this "hero" who could stop children crying at night.

No one saw it.

It is nearly 80 years old. A terrible and sloppy old man. He was thin and small, with a bent back, almost two heads shorter than Qin mubai. Every trace of skin on the whole body is dark, but a few sparse hair are all white, it must be a long time without cleaning, disorderly strands of mixed together. Most of the teeth are open, and one side of the nose is crooked. The three fingers of the left hand are like a harpoon, and the two fingers of the right hand are like a natural victory "V" hand shape.

This can't help but make Qin mubai think of the horrible monster in the Lord of the rings, Gulu.

"Niu Wuzhi, this is a senior official from the capital. Now Xiangzhou's great hero, general Duwei of Junfu, has come to see you in person!" A yamen officer yelled at Niu Wuzhi's ear.

Niu Wuzhi was at a loss on his face. He blinked his dry and turbid eyes a few times and yelled more loudly than the Yamen servant: "I don't know you. Don't bother me. I'm very busy!"

The crowd was stunned by his roar. Unexpectedly, such a thin and short old man's roar was more powerful than a galloping horse, just like thunder on the ground.

"Niu Wuzhi, don't be disrespectful! The general has something to ask for your help! " The two yamen servants began to roar in his ears, which made him angry. They stabbed the left harpoon and the right harpoon on their faces respectively -

"get out! ——Or blow up your house! "

Everyone was stunned, goose bumps fell to the ground.

"This old man is really tough. He's been playing with gunpowder all his life. He's playing in the dark. His temper is like gunpowder." Qin mubai couldn't help laughing, and the Yamen servants laughed with him.

Although Niu Wuzhi's ears were not good, when he saw the posture of the people around him, he knew that he was laughing at him. He didn't talk much. He reached into his pocket and touched it. He took out a half foot long tube with thick fingers and yelled: "don't you roll? I'll blow you up! "

"Wow! ——”The Yamen servants screamed in horror, and the crowd immediately retreated.

Qin mubai's heart was cold, but he didn't run away. Instead, he took out a pile of paper and went to Niu Wuzhi, spread out the first page and showed it to him.

Niu Wuzhi looks up at Qin mubai, who looks like Qin mubai is his father's enemy. Then full of disdain to glance at the paper, suddenly a Zheng, was attracted.

So, he widened his eyes, moved his face to the front of the paper about three centimeters, line by line, looked very carefully. Later, he looked very excited and yelled, "where did you come from?"

The roar made Qin Mu Bai's eardrum ache. I really want to escape. Without waiting for him to answer, Niu Wuzhi would throw the things in his hand, harpoon and victory would grab the things in Qin Mu's white hand.

Fortunately, Qin Mu's "explosive formula and refining method" avoided the attack of harpoon and victory. Niu Wuzhi was obviously angry, but this time he didn't get angry. Instead, he swallowed his saliva, pursed his shriveled lips and cried, "give it to me!"

"Why?" Qin mubai said with a smile.

"No one can match such a black thunder except me!"

"Is this recipe very powerful?"

Five fingers of the cow forbeared his anger and nodded his head reluctantly: "yes!"

"It's worse than the black thunder you've been thinking about all your life, isn't it?" Qin mubai deliberately provoked him."It's going to take a try to find out!" Niu Wuzhi was angry and roared, "give it to me quickly! I can't live much longer. Time is too expensive! "

"It'll do for you." Qin mubai folded the paper slowly, but put it into his arms, patted his chest and said, "but you have to work for me from now on!"

"Good!" Niu Wuzhi agreed without thinking, "as long as the black fire thunder made in this way is really more powerful than mine, I won't do it here. From then on, I will only make medicine for you!"

"Woo, master Niu, you can't do this!" Several miners in charge of the work heard the roar of Niu Wuzhi from a distance, and they were so anxious that they ran over.

"Stop them!" Qin mubai gave the order. The Yamen servants swarmed up and pulled out their knives. The mine managers had to be afraid and timid, and looked anxiously at this side, as if Qin mubai was not going to take away a bad old man, but his wife who was going to accompany them into the bridal chamber.

"Is that a deal. "Five fingers?" Qin mubai said to him with a smile.

"Cut the crap and get the recipe! If I can match this kind of black thunder, I will not live in vain in my life! I don't care about the rest! I'll keep my word, or I'll go to hell and be hooked with an iron hook

This is a very vicious oath for an old man who is dying.

So Qin Mu nodded. He said, "take your apprentices and tools, and follow me."

"Good! I'll call them right away The five fingers of the ox answered loudly. As soon as he turned around, he turned away from the crowd and jumped into the grass like a rabbit. In an instant, there was no one. After a while, he appeared in front of Qin mubai with three old men with white hair. Dragging two mule carts piled up like mountains, he said, "let's go, ready!"

"You are quite cheerful. Let's go then! " Qin mubai laughed and was about to leave with a group of people. The people in the mining area were so stupid that they had to kneel down and cry. When Niu Wuzhi left, they were tired to death? They rush to work day and night. There's no more progress.

"I'll tell the censor's office why I'm here, and let the government lower your task. Don't worry. I won't embarrass you." Qin mubai dropped this sentence and left.

The people in the mining area have finally taken a peace of mind. I'm relieved.

"Ah, this officer is a cow! A word can make us change between life and death

Qin mubai rented a farmyard in a remote place in the suburbs as a "Research Institute" for Niu Wuzhi and others. I have all the tools and equipment I need to prepare. The two mule carts loaded a lot of things, unloaded and piled up the whole yard.

"As an official, we need two people to run errands, cook meals, wash clothes, clean the toilet, and give some money to buy materials. You don't have to take care of the rest." The five fingers of the Ox are roaring. "In ten days, I'll give you new powder!"

"Ten days?" Qin Mu Bai twisted his brow.

"If you have the ability, please invite others! Not for a year! " The five fingers of the ox roared.

"Ten days, ten days. Good food and good drink, money is enough, you just try to dispense Qin Mu Bai smiles, "do you want a woman?"

"Roll --!"

Qin mubai left two yamen servants to serve these old men and returned to the governor's residence. He secretly sent a few of his confidants. To protect and watch in the dark. The formula of this new gunpowder is no different from the "big killer" in this era. If it is exiled outside, it will be like the disappearance of nuclear weapons, which will certainly cause panic and threat.

Then Qin mubai replied to Li Ke that ten days later, he decided to explore the west river channel.

"It's better to find out the secret in two or three months." Li Ke said, "because during this time, we can just go back and forth to the capital. At that time, there may be envoys from the imperial court, Wu Meiniang and Gao Yang. It may also be coming. The fewer people we disturb, the better. "

"Well, I see. Well, I'll see you in ten days. I'll go back to the Junfu first. Niu Wuzhi is there. You'll have to send someone to watch. " Qin mubai said.

"All right." Li Ke solemnly agreed.

It seems that his secret to the West River Caoli. Very important. As far as the royal family is concerned, his mind and spirit are united unprecedentedly.

"Then I'll go first."

"Don't worry." Li Ke suddenly stopped him and said, "there's a man who's been staying with me all the time. You don't have to say what to do. Isn't that embarrassing? "

"You mean Zhang Tong?" Qin Mu Bai twisted his brow.

"That's it." Li Ke sighed, "this boy is under house arrest in my backyard. He eats less and drinks less all day, squats in the corner and doesn't say a word. If he stays up like this, he will die in a few days. Although he was a traitor, it was hateful. But it's pathetic to see him like that. When he asked him what he wanted, he only said that he wanted to see general Qin once. He said that he would be at ease if he saw you. "

Qin Mu Bai's heart faintly drew pain for a while, but on the face is cold: "he still has the face to see me?"

"Forget it. If a man is dying, his words are good. Why don't you go there? " Li Ke said, "at least he has been with you for such a long time, and he has made great contributions before.""If you've asked for him, I'll see you."

So Qin mubai came to the yard where the servants lived in the backyard, and the Yamen in charge of the guard opened a firewood room.

The room was messy, full of firewood and grass, dark and smelly. Zhang Tong was dirty and disorderly, like a beggar. He was huddled in the grass in the corner of the wall. He didn't know whether he was asleep or dead. Even Qin mubai didn't react when he came to him.

Qin mubai gave him a kick, Zhang Tong bounced all over and finally woke up.

"This vigilance is gone. Are you still Baiqi?" Qin mubai said coldly.

Zhang tonglun looked at Qin mubai blankly with his eyes on Zhu Zi and murmured: "it must be a dream, it must be a dream!"

"What a dream Qin mubai drank a lot. "Zhang Tong, listen to the order!"

"No!" Zhang Tong, like a spring, bounced up and stood upright.

"Go back to Chang'an and your hometown!" Qin Mu Bai rebuked him.

Zhang Tong was stunned, and his whole expression froze. He opened his mouth, but did not dare to speak.

Because Qin mubai didn't speak, his subordinates didn't dare to talk. Qin mubai then said: "fart."

"General, you If you don't kill me, you won't punish me? "

"Nonsense. If I tell you to go away, you go away! "

"You You beat me and scold me Zhang Tong burst into tears and sobbed, "I beg you! Either you kill me, or you want me to beat me up, or you want me to curse me to death! "

Qin mubai looked at him and said faintly, "if you are guilty, I don't have to kill you. If you want to talk about beating and scolding, since you already know what your mistake is, why should I do it again? "

"General You make me more depressed than killing me, beating me and scolding me Zhang Tong's tears flowed down like this, "I really I didn't think of it

"Cut the crap and go!" Qin mubai said coldly, "from then on, I forget you are Baiqi, I forget to know someone. Bai Qi will also forget that there was Zhang Tong in the army. "

After that, Qin mubai turned and left.

"General!" Zhang Tong knelt down with a thump.

"I beg you! ——Just kill me

"I won't kill you." Qin mubai dropped this sentence and left.

In my heart, I said, just like, even if my hands and feet were infected with disgusting poisonous sores, I would not abandon my hands and feet.
