"..."
The four of them discussed for a while.
The 'cold-faced man' decided to close the inn temporarily.
Zuo Chong expressed his apology again.
that's all.
The four formed a loose, temporary alliance.
Return to your residence.
"They must not completely believe what you said." The landlady said in a low voice.
The 'cold-faced man' nodded, "It's me~ I don't believe it either."
"Then..." The landlady looked worried.
The 'cold-faced man' chuckled and said: "Don't worry, those two guys are both smart people. Our origins have nothing to do with their affairs. They will guard against us and may investigate us secretly, but it won't It’s not good for us.”
The landlady thought for a while and said softly: "Zhu Chao has changed his name. If you pretend to be Zhu Chao, there won't be any problems."
"I've never had any problems in this regard," the 'cold-faced man' said proudly.
"That's true." The landlady chuckled and joked, "If you want to discover your problem, you have to get started."
The 'cold-faced man''s cheeks turned red and he gave the landlady an angry look.
The landlady looked at the face of the 'cold-faced man', blinked, and said, "How about...you turn into Chu Xiu and let me beat you up."
'Cold-faced man': "..."
"That guy is so hateful." The landlady snorted, "If he had taken out the Suzaku Token early in the morning, how could there have been so many things?"
The 'cold-faced man' calmed down and whispered: "He may be a real genius."
The landlady was startled and said hesitantly: "Do you think he can help us?"
"If he can become Dean Feng's personal disciple, he will be qualified to contact Emperor Qian." The 'cold-faced man' said softly.
"But how to win over him?" asked the landlady.
The cold-faced man said: "The bet between him and Tang Jiabao was about hidden weapons."
The landlady was silent for a moment.
I don’t know when it started, the mechanism and the hidden weapon seemed to have become one.
But in the past, agencies were just agencies, and they rarely had anything to do with hidden weapons.
There was once a family that developed the art of mechanism to its peak.
"Let's try it first." The landlady said softly.
"good."
The 'cold-faced man' nodded.
The other side.
Chu Xiu and Zuo Chong were also having similar conversations.
Indeed, neither of them fully believed the innkeeper and his wife.
"Just be careful. Everyone has their own secrets. There is no need to explore them to the end." Zuo Chong said softly.
Chu Xiu nodded and thought so.
…
News of the failure of the Death Soldier operation soon reached Prince Ji's Mansion.
"Huh? Failed again? You are almost used to failure." Prince Ji Li Yuanhua sneered.
Five years ago, after he was defeated by Zuo Chong with a single shot, he began to target Zuo Chong.
As a result, Zuo Chong is still alive until now!
Jin Peng, one of the commanders of the Bird Guard, knelt on one knee and remained silent.
This time, the three dead soldiers sent were not afraid of death. They were the elites among the elites. Even in terms of hard power, they were not weaker than Ye Crow.
"Chang'an City, which talented people have come recently?" Li Yuanhua asked.
Jin Peng thought for a while and said: "The most famous one is Qiu Shaoqing from Jianzhou, ranked third on the Fuyao list; secondly, Guchensha from Yunzhou, ranked ninth on the Fuyao list; Jingyun from the Kongtong sect of Jingzhou, he only I took action once and directly reached the 36th place on the Fuyao list...
In addition, there are some people who, although not on the Fuyao Ranking, are extremely powerful, including Meng Tiangang’s grandson Meng Xiaochuan, Lingshan Temple Huitong, Manzhou Sa Kingang, Wen Yi from the Wen family..."
"There are so many talented people." Li Yuanhua smiled and asked, "Do you think that Chu Xiu can beat these people?"
"I don't think it's such a coincidence." Jin Peng said, "At least, it's hard for him to beat Qiu Shaoqing."
Li Yuanhua sneered and said: "Who is strong and who is weak? Let them fight and we will know."
Jin Peng's heart moved and he waited patiently for the next step.
"Contact the people from Tianji Pavilion and let these so-called geniuses get together in advance." Li Yuanhua said with a smile, "I think there should be many people who are curious about which of these so-called geniuses is stronger."
"No." Jin Peng responded respectfully.
"Besides," Li Yuanhua continued, "to create momentum for this Chu Xiu, an unknown person cannot arouse the interest of those talented people."
"I understand." Jin Peng understood instantly.
Kill with a borrowed knife!
…
Zhuque Academy.
Back mountain.
After getting Chu Xiu's drawings, Tang Jiabao did not immediately find someone to build it, but secretly studied it alone.
The more he studied, the more confused he became.
in the drawings.
There is a large iron pipe nearly ten feet long, which must be strong, smooth and straight.
There are small parts less than half an inch long, so the dimensions must be accurately marked.
There is also an iron ball wrapped in black saltpeter. Why does it feel a bit like Lei’s Thunderbolt Pill?
"That kid is very shady. He must have guessed that I would secretly study it. There are probably useless drawings in it that can be used to hide people's eyes." Tang Jiabao muttered, feeling a little helpless.
In fact, if each part on the drawing was taken out individually, he could imagine the possible function of this part.
But when you add it all up, it's a mess.
It's like a complicated word. You know every part of the word, but when you put it together, you don't know what the word is.
"Forget it, let's go directly to the fourth senior brother." Tang Jiabao put away the drawings and came to the fourth senior brother's residence in the back mountain.
The fourth senior brother, Zhao Wangsun, is skilled in the art of casting.
"Fourth Senior Brother, are you busy?" Tang Jiabao walked into Fourth Senior Brother Zhao Wangsun's forging room and asked with a smile.
"nonsense."
Next to the burning iron stove, a burly man covered in bronze lay on a rocking chair without opening his eyes.
"Hehe~." Tang Jiabao chuckled and moved closer to Zhao Wangsun. "I have a bet with a guy named Chu outside. He needs me to help him find someone to build some parts for hidden weapons."
Zhao Wangsun opened his eyes and glanced sideways at Tang Jiabao, "You bet with him and you want to help him build parts?"
Tang Jiabao laughed dryly, but felt a little depressed again. At this moment, he could only say helplessly: "That boy has just come to Chang'an City. He has no money and no power. By the time he builds these parts, he will probably be over with his general examination."
Then he added: "Our master gave him a Vermillion Bird Token."
"Master, Order of the Vermilion Bird..." Zhao Wangsun sat up straight.
Tang Jiabao nodded, "Master should be very optimistic about him. Maybe after the general examination, he will be Xiao San."
"It's impossible for Little Thirteen." Zhao Wangsun shook his head, "Let me take a look at the drawings."
"Oh." Tang Jiabao quickly presented the drawings and couldn't help but ask, "Why is it impossible?"
Zhao Wangsun looked at the drawing in his hand and said casually: "There is someone more suitable than him."
"Who is it?" Tang Jiabao was curious.
Zhao Wangsun did not answer, his eyes flashed, and he quickly looked through the drawings.
Seeing this, Tang Jiabao didn't say anything more and waited quietly.
After a while.
Zhao Wangsun read all the drawings, glanced at Tang Jiabao, and said, "Tell me about the content of your competition."
"Aim, distance, power." Tang Jiabao said.
"If these three things happen..." Zhao Wangsun looked at the drawings again and muttered, "You can only win with one accurate shot."
Tang Jiabao hesitated for a moment, "Fourth Senior Brother, do you understand these drawings?"
"I don't fully understand it. There should be more than one mechanism." Zhao Wangsun said with a smile, "I can only say that the distance and power of this mechanism cannot be compared simply with hidden weapons.
As for the accuracy, it depends on the ability of the person using it. "
"Distance is not a problem." Tang Jiabao said with a smile, "I can also design mechanisms that are far away; as for the power, I can understand the structure on the drawing, but it is just something similar to the Lei Family's Pili Pills."
"Never underestimate anyone." Zhao Wangsun said leisurely, "Otherwise, you may become the first disciple to lose to an outside disciple."
