"Seventh Senior Sister has been defeated."
Tang Jiabao whispered, his eyes a little wandering.
It seems that Seventh Senior Sister didn’t tell me to keep it a secret, right?
Tang Jiabao was not very sure and felt a little weak.
"Oh?" Zhao Wangsun was surprised.
"They were competing in preparing medicinal materials, and Seventh Senior Sister admitted that she lost to him..." Tang Jiabao whispered.
"Yao Yao actually lost in dispensing medicine?" Zhao Wangsun was surprised. He looked at the blueprint in his hand again and muttered, "His idea is very powerful, but he probably hasn't studied mechanisms much."
Tang Jiabao blinked and said, "According to his own statement, he has wanted to build a hidden weapon since he was a child, but he never had time to do it."
"That's right." Zhao Wangsun said, "Some parts are so simple as to be crude."
"Then I still have a good chance of winning." Tang Jiabao said with a smile.
Zhao Wangsun was noncommittal and said thoughtfully: "You can pick it up the day after tomorrow."
Tang Jiabao's eyes lit up and he quickly thanked him, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Fourth Senior Brother."
"I suggest you use your strongest means." Zhao Wangsun reminded, "This little guy is a genius, and some of his ideas are terrible."
"good."
Tang Jiabao's expression became a little more serious.
I came to the inn often, and it was peaceful for two days.
This kind of peace made the four people in the inn feel like the silence before the storm.
The storm didn't come.
Coming were Tang Jiabao, Duanmu Yaoyao, Zhao Wangsun, and six large carriages.
The carriage was full of parts that Chu Xiu needed.
"This is my fourth senior brother Zhao Wangsun." Tang Jiabao introduced Zhao Wangsun.
"Mr. Four." Zuo Chong greeted.
Zhao Wangsun nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the proprietress, the 'cold-faced man', and Chu Xiu, and finally landed on Chu Xiu.
"I know the wine Taoist, he invited me to drink." Zhao Wangsun said.
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "That's my master's honor."
Zhao Wangsun said again: "He used my wine to treat me to a drink."
"..." Chu Xiu blinked, not knowing how to answer.
This is indeed in line with Master's temperament as a wine Taoist.
Sharing other people's wine is always a joy.
There was a strange flash in the eyes of the others.
Zhao Wangsun continued: "You are very similar to him. You use parts made by the academy to compare with the academy disciples."
"Haha~, Mr. Fourth is so complimentary." Chu Xiu was slightly embarrassed.
Zhao Wangsun smiled.
"It's true that you are his apprentice." Zhao Wangsun commented, "You are just shameless, not thick enough."
The strange look in the eyes of the others became more intense.
Chu Xiu's scalp was a little numb. His master's face was really not thin, and he never knew what politeness meant.
As for Chu Xiu himself, he was more or less shy.
"Assemble it." Zhao Wangsun said.
"good."
Chu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
The feeling of oppression given to him by this fourth gentleman was quite strong.
Together, everyone unloaded the equipment and parts from the six carriages and placed them in the backyard of the inn.
Chu Xiu looked at the parts of different sizes on the floor, his eyes bright and his heart full of anticipation.
He felt that although he had lived two lives, his mentality was still that of a teenager.
He still has the dreams that a teenager should have.
For example, martial arts dream.
For example, Swordsman’s Dream.
For example, Mecha Dream.
For example, the dream of having sex.
All day long, everyone gathered in the courtyard and looked curiously at Chu Xiu assembling it.
Tang Jiabao confirmed that it was indeed the first time for Chu Xiu to make a concealed weapon. During the assembly process, he actually forgot to use some parts!
Finally, in the evening.
In front of Chu Xiu, there were three more assembled... mechanisms.
A red cannon, two bent-handled firecrackers, and some ammunition.
"What is this?" Duanmu Yaoyao looked at the huge red cannon and couldn't help but ask.
The rest of the people, including Zhao Wangsun, were also very curious.
Chu Xiu looked at the red cannon and muttered: "Its name is a bit long."
Everyone looked at Chu Xiu.
"Second Battalion Commander, your damn aunt is Dali Pao."
Everyone: "???"
"That's what it's called." Chu Xiu smiled.
Everyone was speechless, and most of them had black lines on their faces.
Zhao Wangsun complained directly: "You really know how to give your mother's name."
"..."
In the end, while respecting Chu Xiu's naming rights, this red cannon was named 'Dali Cannon'.
"We need to find a place with a wide view." Chu Xiu muttered. As far as he knew, the recognized longest range of the red cannon was about ten miles, and the accurate range was between half a mile and six miles.
Of course, the one designed by Chu Xiu only used the principle of the red cannon. The specific range still needs to be tested.
"Go to the eastern suburbs. There is a horse farm over there. The terrain is flat and should be able to meet your requirements." Zhao Wangsun suggested.
"Okay." Chu Xiu nodded, then looked at Tang Jiabao, a little curious, "Mr. Twelve, where is the hidden weapon you prepared?"
The rest of the people also looked at Tang Jiabao.
Tang Jiabao smiled and said: "When you are sure that you can start the competition, you will naturally see it."
Chu Xiu smiled and didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the two bent torches and started playing with them, remembering a famous quote from a movie in his previous life:
"How can you be a martial arts master if you don't have a gun?"
In fact, in this world, the red cannon may still have a certain impact on the masters. The power of these two firecrackers is really not enough.
Chu Xiu took the opportunity to build these two fire guns, more out of emotion and to fulfill his childhood dream in his previous life.
Four carriages left the Chang Lai Inn.
It was evening and the sun was setting.
The afterglow of the setting sun exudes a soft glow.
During this whole day, with the secret promotion of the Bird Guards, almost everyone in the entire Chang'an City knew... The disciples at the back of the Suzaku Academy, who were close to Chu Xiu, gave six carts of gifts at once.
Chu Xiu's name appeared in the ears of the geniuses from all sides.
It was also on this day that all the geniuses from all sides received invitations from Tianji Pavilion:
April 11th, by the Furong River; drinking water flows in the promenade, and the phoenixes sing and the phoenix trees sing.
Changlefang, the Xia family has a medicine shop here.
Xia Chuxue also received an invitation.
She was a little confused about the content on the invitation and didn't quite understand it.
"The Furong Riverside refers to the Furong Garden in the east of the city. It is a royal forbidden garden that is also open to the common people."
"Drinking in the promenade is a traditional program in Furong Garden. Many dignitaries in Chang'an City like to hold flowing banquets in the promenade."
"As for Fengming Wutong, it refers to the 'Fengming Pavilion on the Wutong Tree'. This is a wonder in the Furong Garden. Historically, only the most powerful people in Chang'an City were qualified to visit Fengming Pavilion."
After a brief introduction, Jiang Rou muttered, "There are no seats arranged for this banquet. Those who are able can come to Fengming Pavilion to have the banquet."
"Not bad." Xia Qingshan, the head of the Xia family, nodded and said, "Tianji Pavilion probably wants to take advantage of the start of the college entrance examination to examine the strength of these geniuses in advance and rearrange the Fuyao ranking."
"Tianji Pavilion sent me an invitation, does it mean that they have noticed me?" Xia Chuxue's eyes lit up.
Xia Qingshan and Jiang Rou looked at each other, and Jiang Rou coughed lightly, "Maybe she noticed your dad."
Xia Chuxue: "???"
"This is a good start." Xia Qingshan smiled, "I think some gentlemen from Suzaku Academy may also come to inspect the site."
Xia Chuxue was speechless and a little depressed.
In the arena, she is indeed not famous. She has never walked alone in the arena, and she has never competed with anyone.
"It shouldn't be a problem for Chuxue to join Suzaku Academy." Jiang Rou said softly, "I'm a little worried about Xiao Xiu."
"Why are you worried about him?" Xia Qingshan hummed, "He has taken advantage of the disciples at the back of the academy. I'm afraid I have long forgotten you, my aunt."
Xia Chuxue's eyes moved slightly. Just before receiving the invitation, some news about Chu Xiu also reached here.
He lived with the famous Zuo Chong Zuo Qianhu, and all his guests were disciples from the back of the academy.
Jiang Rou gave Xia Qingshan an angry look and said angrily: "The Daqian royal family has been dealing with Zuo Chong, you don't know it? I met Zuo Chong in Xiao Xiuhui, and it wasn't because of the Zhu Ha who helped you deal with the medicine forest..."
Xia Qingshan was speechless and shook his head, "With the disciples from the back of Suzaku Academy here, he will be fine. What's more, Zuo Qianhu is not an ordinary person, otherwise he wouldn't be alive now."
"I hope so." Jiang Rou was still a little worried.
