After leaving the barracks, Qin mubai went back to Princess Gaoyang's house in Xiangcheng and saw that she was still sleeping. So, he left a letter, immediately left Xiangcheng with Yin Yang and others, and rushed to Xiangyang to take care of military and political affairs.
Pang Fei, with his troops from Xiangzhou military mansion, is still stationed in Xinye military port. They didn't retreat. Even after they knew that Xiangcheng had been destroyed, they had been stationed here. Even though they knew that there were tens of thousands of Li Ji's troops in front of them, they didn't retreat without authorization.
Now, the army seems to have become its own diehard.
Qin mubai ordered the whole army to withdraw to Xiangyang garrison. When he was on the ship, Qin mubai temporarily handed over military affairs to Pang Fei, and asked him to act as a temporary agent for Zhechong as a captain. If there is any change after returning to the court, Chang'an will send an order letter.
At this time, Qin mubai did not know whether he would really go to the border; if he would. Then the post of Zhechong captain in Xiangzhou can't be left alone. After all, Xiangzhou is also a small "base area". At least, there is Wu Meiniang in business here. She must be taken care of. It's a good foreshadowing to leave Pang Fei for the time being.
The army arrived at the garrison. Qin mubai and Pang Fei cooked together in the military camp for a while, then left here and went to Xiangyang County. First came to the assassin's mansion, and knew not to stay at the assassin's right Wanji.
Sure enough, Li Ke left a letter. Qin Mu Bai's attitude and attitude made him smile.
It's a hero's idea, Li Ke. Also coincidentally thought of this layer - draw a clear line, temporarily cut off contacts.
Qin mubai always believed that Li Ke, the prince, was more mature and wise than himself in many aspects. Right now, Fang is the best proof. It was only through Li Ji's advice that he realized himself, and Li Ke may have thought of this level for a long time. It's just that I didn't make it clear because of my feelings. It is also a good thing to take advantage of the opportunity of Li Ke's case to make it clear.
It also saved Qin mubai a lot of trouble. In this case, it's really not easy to say. If you leave a letter to make it clear, you will not be upset or misunderstood.
After leaving the assassin's palace, Qin mubai went to the countryside, where he had a set of his own "secret private property" - the "scientific research" Institute.
When the prince left last time, Tu Youhai, who was going to be in charge of the left school department, stayed ill with Qin mubai's help and continued to ponder over the model casting of the red cannon. For several months, this skillful, sincere and pragmatic master finally succeeded in casting this cannon, which had never been touched by his predecessors, with only a piece of picture and text from Qin mubai!
The three old apprentices of Niu Wuzhi also fulfilled their mission and cooperated with Tu Youhai to improve the "Wuzhi shenlei" to make it more suitable for use in artillery. Now, the probability of blasting has been reduced to a very low level, and the accuracy of the cannon can be controlled by people. Although it has not been able to do what the current advanced military guns do, the error rate has been gradually reduced.
The situation is gratifying.
When Qin mubai arrived here, the four people went out to welcome him. They talked about the technological progress of the cannons for a while, and tried to send two cannons to Qin mubai.
The results are really good.
The target of the test fire was several mixed trees on a wild beach 200 paces away. The first shot deviated seven or eight steps, and the second shot, after debugging, successfully destroyed it.
"General, this gun is probably made successfully. However, the gun operator may have to go through many times of proficiency and practice before he can successfully master the shooting method. Otherwise, it is easy to be injured by mistake. " Tu Youhai said, "also, this gun can't be cast in large quantities now. Because it's a very fine job to polish the bore. It takes an experienced craftsman like me to manage it day and night for 30 to 40 days. "
"Well, it's hard for you." Qin Mu Bai nodded and said, "now, King Wu and I are going to leave Xiangyang for the capital. But, before that, I and your promise, equally count. If you are willing to stay in Xiangyang, do individual department Sima. I'll move immediately after I get back to the court. I'll make sure you're all right. Of course, you can also choose to go to Beijing with us. At that time, it's not difficult to recommend you as a Beijing official. "
"Oh, general and King Wu Won't you go back to Xiangzhou in the future? " Tu Youhai was surprised and disappointed.
"Hard to say." Qin mubai said, "maybe back, maybe not back. Even if we go back, we have to wait for some time. What do you think? "
If you paint it on the sea, you'll think about it. If the king of Wu and Qin mubai were here together, they would be promoted by Qin mubai. It would be a great good thing for them to be officials. But these two people have left, leaving their own lonely one to "fight" here. It's hard to say what future they have. It's better to go back to Chang'an and continue to be my left school official!
"I'd like to go to Beijing with the general." Tu Youhai said decisively.
"Well, you'll get ready and leave in two days." Qin mubai then said to the three old men, "three old masters, I have promised to support you. Now I'm going to leave Xiangyang, and the date of my return is uncertain. Go to Chang'an with me
The three old men hesitated and discussed for a long time, saying that they were old enough to return home. I don't want to leave Xiangyang, where I was born and raised, but I also want to stay here to keep filial piety for Niu Wuzhi, who was childless. If they want to make up gunpowder, the three of them have got the true biography, and they can do it for them. If you want to raise your old man and send him to his death, just give him some money. It doesn't have to take a lot of trouble.These words, however, are in line with Qin mubai's mind.
The three old men called their apprentices. A young man in his twenties, who had been an abandoned baby since childhood, was adopted by them as a parent-child.
"General, he has no name or surname. We all call him" shi'er. ". I've been working with us since I was a child. Now I'm black and ugly, and I'm just like us. He can only make gunpowder and has no other skills. If he is with us all the time, he may lose his livelihood if we die. " Said the three old men. "He's younger and smarter than us, and he's a better craftsman. People are simple and straightforward, three meals a day, but not hungry. If the general doesn't give up, please take him! "
Shi'er was very strong and honest. As they said, she was black and ugly. Listen to these three old men. He fell on his knees and began to cry, unwilling to leave the three old men.
Sanlao comforted for a while, but Shier stopped crying.
Qin mubai felt that shi'er was a kind-hearted person who attached great importance to emotion and righteousness, and had a talent of skill. They are the most qualified subordinates.
"Shi'er, if you like, I'll give you a name. How about Qin Shi?" Qin mubai said.
The three old men were overjoyed: "Shier, would you like to thank the general soon? The general has you! You have a last name! After that, you will be the general's servant! "
She wiped a handful of tears. "Qin Shi kowtowed to the general," he said
"Well, get up!" Qin mubai smiles, "after that, you will be my bookboy. No one will tell you except me. "
"Qin Shi kowtows to the general!" He just banged his head on the ground.
Leave Tu Youhai and Qin Shi here for the time being. Qin mubai went back to Xiangyang County to bid farewell to Wu Meiniang.
During the war in Dengzhou, the order of Xiangyang County is slowly recovering, and Qinxian pavilion has not been officially opened. Wu Meiniang and a group of women are still hiding at home. The several hundred riders who stayed here are still guarding here.
Wu Meiniang probably heard about the accident in Dengzhou. When she saw Qin mubai come in, her e-eyebrow twisted up and said anxiously, "mubai, are you ok?"
"Isn't that good?" Qin mubai smiles.
"Well What about Princess Gaoyang? "
"Fair." Qin mubai took a long breath and said with a slightly apologetic smile, "Meiniang, I may make you angry."
Wu Meiniang calmly smile: "why?"
"I'm here to say goodbye." Qin mubai said.
Wu Meiniang's face didn't change. She just tilted her mouth and nodded: "I know."
"You know?" Qin mubai was surprised.
"Of course I guess." Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "after such a big accident, you must go back to Chang'an to see the king, and tell him everything. also. Before that, the king of Wu also came to Chang'an, saying that he and his party went to Chang'an first. At that time, I was guessing that you would also be called to Chang'an. "
"Sorry, Meiniang." Qin mubai said with a smile, "you just came here and haven't been with you for two days. And I'm going
"Business matters. Don't worry. Let's go." Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "a man is ambitious. How can he curl up beside a woman? Didn't you say to me before, "if the two love each other for a long time, are they ever in the morning and evening"? I'll wait for you. "
Qin mubai nodded gratefully and happily: "don't you go to Chang'an with me?"
"No Wu Meiniang spoke softly. But I'm sure, "at the beginning of everything here in Xiangyang, big and small things have to be taken care of. Don't you give me back hundreds of thousands of stone grain and grass? At least I'll exchange it for real gold and silver, so that we can live happily for the rest of our lives. "
Qin Mu white face a embarrassed, sour way: "how do I feel, I seem to eat soft rice of small white face?"
"What?" Wu Meiniang probably has never heard of these words. But when he understood the meaning of Qin Mu's vernacular, he said with a smile, "don't think about it! I call this big river full of water. If it were not for your ability, would I be what I am today? Let us women take care of the trivial things. You can do your big and important things with confidence and boldness! "
"Well." Qin Mu Bai nodded and smile, "three days later, set out."
Wu Meiniang also smile, but there is a trace of reluctant smile, a bit of regret, but smile calmly: "go, accompany Gao Yang. Now, she needs you more than I do. "
For a moment, Qin mubai didn't know what to say. They took Wu Meiniang's hand, gazed at her, and said, "master mother's mind, great family style!"
"Hee hee Wu Meiniang was amused. "You are the sweetest at this time. I'm a million people who don't like it. How can you beat your sweet words? Well, it's a simple journey. Let's take a bath. Then sit down and have a drink with me. Let's have a rest for a while before we go
Qin mubai said with a smile, "if you have a Meiniang, it's OK to have a rest till tomorrow."
"Fantastic sky "I'm a disciple!"
In the evening. Qin mubai, who was slightly drunk, rode a horse, took Tu Youhai, Qin Shi and others, and left Xiangyang after Pang Fei and Yin Yang saw each other off.Wu Meiniang's faint body fragrance still lingers on her body. It seems that her tenderness and fragrance can still be felt between her lips and teeth. Qin mubai looked back at the familiar Xiangyang City and breathed the familiar smell of water and grass between the rivers and ports. He said to himself: when will you revisit the old place?
Goodbye, Xiangyang.
