Jade City.
The Jade City under the setting sun has a gentle beauty.
Although it is located in the southernmost part of Ningguo, this place is not as desolate as the desert in the north.
Here, it's like Jiangnan.
Before the fall of Wuyaguan, Yudan City was the distribution center for goods transit for merchants from Ning and Wu, and was also the place where merchants from both countries settled.
Businessmen from Ning State are going to Wu State, and Yudan City is the last place of supply.
When merchants from the State of Wu came to the State of Ning, almost all of their goods were delivered to the merchants of the State of Ning here.
Therefore, this place unknowingly became a city of commerce and trade.
The people here are very wealthy.
So, Li Chenan walked on the streets of Jade Dan City and saw the bustling appearance——
Nowadays, although the war between the two countries has caused the trade between the two countries to be temporarily suspended and there are many fewer people, those buildings still exist.
Such as Broad Street.
There are rows of shops on both sides of the street.
There are also teahouses, restaurants, brothel inns, etc. in the streets and alleys, all of which tell the story of the former prosperity of this place.
Especially Yanliu Alley.
This is a very famous gold-selling cave in Yudan City.
Here are the largest number of brothels, gambling houses, inns, and of course the best teahouses.
Among all the teahouses here, Yiming Teahouse is the most famous.
Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui are now in the private room on the second floor of Yiming Building.
The elegant room is close to the river.
The river is a tributary of the Yudan River.
The river is named Yuhe.
Li Chenan stood in front of the window, looking at the quietly flowing Jade River and the green willows on both sides of the Jade River.
His expression was a little solemn.
After a trip to the Yudan River, I saw the black Red Flame Army from a distance, and also saw the Wuya Mountain that was winding and majestic like a long dragon from a distance.
I don’t know if the prince of Ning State is still at Wuya Pass, but it is obvious that Wu Jun has adopted Wuya Pass and is not eager to start a decisive battle with Ning Jun on the Yudan River Plain.
The Red Flame Army's fireworks cannot be thrown onto the high wall, so whether it is Wu Mian or Yan Jidao, they want to lead the Red Flame Army to forcibly capture Wuya Pass...
This is almost impossible!
How to throw fireworks onto the wall?
Li Chenan's eyes suddenly lit up——
Throw!
Catapult!
The entire Red Flame Army camp has not seen this thing. I am afraid that there is no such thing as a catapult in this world.
If the Red Flame Army has a large number of catapults with sufficient throwing distance, and lengthens the fuses of the fireworks, then when the fireworks and stones are mixed and thrown at the wall...
This might work wonders!
Li Chenan laughed.
Unfortunately, the blurry thing is too difficult to configure, and I only have a small jar in my arms.
Otherwise, throwing the blur into the battlefield and letting it spread over the enemy's heads will have a huge effect in deciding the outcome without a single blow.
Zhong Liruo was boiling a pot of tea and looked up at Li Chenan's back from time to time.
The back figure looked a little lonely.
On weekdays, he felt a little out of place when the two of them were alone in a carriage or in a tent.
These are two sides of a person.
When he gets along with himself, he is happy, lively, and sweet-talking.
All I do is make myself happy and feel at ease.
But deep in his heart, he worried a lot.
Such as state affairs.
Such as war.
For example, there are worries about whether the Fuji Zhou Tian Jue can be practiced to perfection.
Of course, it may also be the concern for a certain confidante.
etc.
So, this is his heavy side.
Just when Zhongli Ruoshui was thinking this, Li Chenan slowly turned around. The moment he turned around, the dignity on his face had completely disappeared.
What appeared in front of Zhongli Ruoshui was still those eyes with a hint of smile——
There must be a smile on his face, but it's just not visible under the mask.
In the sight of Zhongli Ruoshui, Li Chenan opened the door of the private room and shouted outside:
"Second servant, bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
"Okay!"
Li Chenan sat opposite Zhongli Ruoshui and took a cup of tea from Zhongli Ruoshui.
Zhongli Ruoshui looked at him curiously, "What? Do you want to write a poem?"
Li Chenan took a sip and said, "Not really, I'll draw something."
Zhongli Ruoshui raised his eyebrows: "What are you painting?"
"A weapon, a siege weapon."
…
…
Night falls quietly.
The lanterns in Yanliu Alley have been lit up.
The lanterns in Yiming Tower have also been lit.
When Qin Rigang and his wife came to the private room here, Li Chenan had already finished drawing all the parts of the trebuchet and also noted the corresponding instructions at the back.
Zhongli Ruoshui has been watching.
She didn't know what it was. What she found strange was how Li Chenan came up with such a thing.
When the girl looked at Li Chenan, she felt that this fiancé was becoming more and more mysterious.
"Master,"
Qin Rigang cupped his fists and saluted, "We and I went to investigate. If we want to fly over Wuya Mountain, we can only enter through a valley more than thirty miles away from Wuya Pass."
"The local people say that the valley is called Netherworld Valley...which means that hunters or medicine farmers have entered it, but none of them came back alive."
"Therefore, there is no road, and there will be many evil things coming."
"What the villain means is that if the young master is not too urgent, it is better to wait a little longer."
Li Chenan shook his head, "Tomorrow you go buy some dry food and prepare some more fire dumplings. Remember to wrap them in oil paper to prevent them from getting damp."
"When we are ready, we will go to Netherworld Valley."
Qin Rigang pondered for three breaths and then bowed his hands: "Okay!"
"This," Li Chenan handed the stack of drawn paper to Qin Rigang.
"Thank you, please go to the Red Flame Army quickly and hand this thing over...to Yan Jidao or General Wu Mianwu."
Qin Rigang was startled, but he took the stack of paper and looked at Li Chenan in great surprise——
Let’s not talk about whether he can enter the Red Flame Army’s camp.
Is Grandmaster Yan so easy to see?
The general of the Scarlet Flame Army is currently having a headache at the moment of attacking Wuya. Will he meet a little-known person like himself?
Seemingly sensing Qin Rigang's hesitation, Li Chenan said again:
"Just tell them that the thing on the paper is a magical weapon that can break the Wuya Pass."
Qin Rigang was stunned again, thinking that General Wu was so anxious and helpless in the face of Wuya Pass. This man, he actually said wildly that this was a magical weapon that could defeat Wuya Pass...
Who is he?
Qin Rigang didn't ask.
He knows the rules.
The employer gives enough money, that’s the uncle!
"My wife and I will wait for you back at Yuelai Inn. Go back quickly."
"good!"
Qin Rigang and his wife turned and left.
Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui sat for a while before getting up and leaving.
The two of them were walking in Yanliu Alley.
If it hadn't been for the war at Wuyuguan, Yanliu Alley would have been bustling with traffic at this time.
But now the alley is quite deserted.
There is still a faint smell of rouge and gouache in the air.
When they passed a brothel, a woman's voice suddenly came from upstairs:
"Hey, Master, stay here!"
Li Chenan looked up.
An open window.
A rosy face under the light.
And a hand waving a handkerchief.
A charming voice came:
"Sir, how about half price?"
