Chapter 971: Mines

The War Bureau is located on Anfufang Street on the west side of the Imperial City, covering an extremely wide area, and Jiajing arranged an independent workshop for He Zhi'er in the War Bureau, allowing her to mess with it at will. Because it was the emperor who greeted her personally, the whole military bureau treated He Zhi'er as an ancestor, and usually did not interfere with her work at all, and even He Zhi'er responded to any materials she needed.

As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, He Zhi'er's identity was finally revealed, and after the eunuch of the War Bureau learned that He Zhi'er was actually a daughter, and she was also the righteous sister of Xu Jin, the Marquis of Jinghai, he worshipped He Zhi'er as an ancestor.

In addition, the emperor will come to the military bureau to visit He Zhi'er in the name of Xie Sipao every three or five days, as long as he is not blind and blind, he will understand what this means. In this way, even Empress Wu in the palace and the two concubines knew about He Zhi'er's existence, and it was inevitable that they would eat it, for example, Empress Wu was extremely unhappy with Xu Jin.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the officials of the various government offices began to go home from work one after another, and Jiajing, who had deliberately speeded up the review of the book, changed into a scholar's costume, left the palace under the protection of the plainclothes Ouchi guards, and came to the military war bureau in a hurry.

The current palm print eunuch of the War Bureau is called Wei Xian, fortunately, it is not Wei Zhongxian. This person is about fifty years old, and he was originally responsible for ringing the bell by the Bell and Drum Division, and because of his conscientious work, he succeeded Zhang Yong as the eunuch of the Palm Seal of the War Bureau.

"Slaves see the emperor...... Ahem, Four Guns! "Gonggong Wei originally wanted to say that he would see the emperor, but he was glared at by Jiajing, and immediately changed his name to the Four Guns Gongzi.

Jiajing snorted coldly and said: "Are you old man with a bad brain, my son's surname is Xie, the Xie family's four cannons are also, Huang, your uncle, Huang, your whole family is Huang!" ”

Father-in-law Wei's old face twitched, and he said with a smile: "Our family has a bad memory when they are old, Gongzi Xie, I'm sorry." ”

The guards dressed as writers behind Jiajing couldn't help laughing.

Jiajing opened the folding fan and shook it, but shivered coldly, hurriedly closed the folding fan, and asked with his hands behind his back, "Is He Gong here?" ”

"Yes, yes, there's still movement just now!" Grandpa Wei hurriedly replied.

Jiajing nodded, went straight to He Zhi'er's independent workshop, and suddenly stopped and asked vigilantly: "Father-in-law Wei, is there any movement that He Gong made today?" ”

Gonggong Wei twitched cheekily and said, "It's not very big, but it was a little scary two days ago, the emperor ...... cough, it's better for Gongzi Xie to be careful. ”

"Oh!" Jiajing relaxed a little and continued to walk towards the workshop, and the guards behind him were like facing a great enemy.

As a result, as soon as Jiajing and his party arrived at the gate of the courtyard where the workshop was located, a loud noise came from inside, and Gonggong Wei was so frightened that he lay on the ground, pouting his ass and holding his head with both hands.

More than a dozen Ouchi guards quickly protected Jiajing, and the guard at the beginning was even more blazing, smashing a wooden board that fell from the sky with his fist, and the end was invincible.

When it was confirmed that there was no debris falling from the sky, the guards dispersed, only the guard who had knocked the plank was still angry with his fists, looking forward to pride, as if he was afraid that the emperor would not see his merits.

Zhu Houxi raised his leg and kicked on the buttocks of this goods, and scolded with a smile: "It's almost enough, let's go on the side, don't get in the way of this son." ”

The guard smiled and hurriedly stepped aside, as if he had been honored to receive a kick from the emperor.

Zhu Houxi strode into the courtyard, and saw that a large water tank in the center of the courtyard had been blown apart, and the wooden lid was broken into several pieces.

He Zhi'er, dressed as a craftsman, was carrying a shield in her left hand and a wooden stick in her right hand, pulling and studying next to the wreckage of the water tank.

"Ahem, Sister Zhi'er, it's blowing up again!" Zhu Houxi coughed lightly, and then looked carefully at the courtyard, there were no other water tanks, and then he dared to go to He Zhi'er's side.

He Zhi'er glanced up at Zhu Houxi, his eyes were like seeing air, and then he lowered his head and continued to pull the wreckage. Just when Zhu Houyu felt very hurt, He Zhi'er raised her head again, tilted her head to look at Zhu Houyu and said, "Brother Si Pao, aren't you going to participate in the Spring Festival Competition in February next year?" Why are you here instead of studying in the house? ”

Zhu Houxi's face couldn't help but stiffen, this thing claimed to be Xie Xiaowan's younger brother Xie Sipao, it was really a bit cocooned, and it also affected Xie Qing's father and son.

Originally, Xie Qing's father and son could live in Xu Mansion after entering Beijing, but because they wanted to lie for Zhu Houxi, they had to live in another house, after all, He Zhi'er lived in Xu Mansion, and it was very easy to go through it without looking up and raising his head.

Fortunately, He Zhi'er is talented in firearms and machinery, but in terms of mentality, he seems to be about ten years old, otherwise Zhu Houxi's lies would have been seen through a long time ago.

"I know, you must be lazy, when I look back at Uncle Xie, I have to tell him, hmph, you are so lazy, you still want to dominate, and your name is almost the same as Sun Shan!" He Zhi'er said with a straight face.

Zhu Houxi scratched his head and said, "Sister Zhi'er, it's the end of the Shen time, and the academy is out of school, okay, is it too much for my son to take a break?" ”

He Zhi'er looked up at the sky, stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's the end of the day, but so what, if you want to be named on the gold list, you have to work harder, how can you waste time running out to play!" ”

Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "Sister Zhi'er's words are wrong, my brother-in-law said that reading should be a combination of work and rest, and reading dead books and reading dead books, that is the so-called nerd, and my son disdains it!" ”

"Oh, my brother said, that's definitely right, well, people just need a helper!" He Zhier said.

Zhu Houxi's eyes lit up, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said proudly: "Sister Zhi'er needs my help with anything, go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, and my son's brows will not wrinkle." ”

He Zhi'er smiled sweetly: "Then you don't need to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, Brother Si Cannon will help take this wooden box, let's go out of the city to do an experiment." ”

"Doing experiments, I like to do real risks the most!" Zhu Houxi happily picked up the wooden box on the ground, and the guards hurriedly stepped forward to help when they saw this, but they were blocked by Jiajing and said: "Go and go, all of them go on one side, you guys are careless, what should you do if you break Sister Zhi'er's things." ”

He Zhi'er nodded and said, "This thing is very dangerous, you must handle it gently, otherwise it will easily explode!" ”

"Explosion?" Zhu Houxi's face turned green in an instant, and he asked eatingly: "Sister Zhi'er, what is in this box?" ”

"Mines!" He Zhi'er said calmly.

"Mines!" Zhu Houxi almost fell headlong, and he couldn't wait to throw the wooden box in his arms out immediately, and throw it as far away as possible.

The so-called mine is actually a trigger-type water bomb in later generations, which is placed near the surface of the water, and as long as the ship passes by, it will trigger an explosion and blow up the bottom of the ship.

The idea of the mine is naturally provided by Xu Jin, He Zhier has been studying this for this time, Zhu Houxi knows it, and it is because he knows it, so he is afraid, if this thing explodes in his arms, it is estimated that he will end up like that big water tank, cry!

"Childe, what is a mine?" The guard who broke the wooden block just now asked curiously, this thing has a very appropriate name, called Ma Sanwen.

How could Zhu Houxi be in the mood to answer him at the moment, holding an ancestor who would explode at any time, and reprimanded: "Ask a fart, go away, don't get in the way!" ”

Ma San asked and sneered: "Childe, the little one will bring you the box!" ”

Zhu Houxi wanted to hand over the wooden box in his arms to Ma Sanwen, but he didn't want to behave so cowardly in front of Sister Zhi'er, and at the same time, he was worried that Ma Sanwen would be very arrogant, and his hands and feet were not serious, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "No!" ”

"Let's go, don't be sluggish, it'll be dark later!" He Zhi'er turned around and urged.

Zhu Houxi immediately sped up his speed to catch up, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhi'er, did you want to test mines on the moat?" In fact, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, we can go to the liquid pool to test, and the place is big enough, and we don't have to go so far! ”

He Zhi'er's eyes widened and said: "The Taiye Pool is in the palace, how can we get in, not to mention that we are testing mines, if we alarm the emperor, the two of us will not be able to cut off our heads!" ”

A hint of pride flashed in Zhu Houxi's eyes and said: "Sister Zhi'er, don't worry, I'm quite familiar with the emperor, I'll just find someone to talk to him!" ”

"Really?" He Zhi'er asked half-incredulously.

"Lie to you as a puppy, if Sister Zhi'er doesn't believe it, just come with me!" Zhu Houxi swore authentically.

He Zhi'er blinked, crooked away from the bag and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, if you dare to lie to me, I will ignore you in the future!" ”

Zhu Houxi suddenly smiled like a flower, and glanced at a guard beside him, who suddenly understood and secretly left the team.

The military battle bureau is not far from the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City, and after two teas, Zhu Houxi took He Zhi'er to Xi'an Gate, and the palace guards who were responsible for guarding the door had already been taken care of by the guards, so they easily opened the door and let them go.

Under the admiring gaze of He Zhi'er, Zhu Houxi entered the Xi'an Gate in a fluttering manner, and then went straight to the edge of the Taiye Pool.

"Sister Zhi'er, what's the matter, I didn't lie to you, this is the liquid pool!" Zhu Houxi said triumphantly.

"You must have borrowed my brother's name!" He Zhi'er snorted slightly.

"I ...... How is it possible, I am familiar with the emperor, so I can borrow the name of my brother-in-law! Zhu Houxi put down the wooden box as if it were facing a great enemy.

He Zhi'er kicked the wooden box with her foot and said, "What are you nervous about, it hasn't been wound yet, it won't explode easily!" ”

Zhu Houxi couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said in annoyance: "Why didn't Sister Zhi'er say it earlier, it made me nervous all the way!" ”

"You didn't ask!" He Zhi'er pursed her lips and said.

Zhu Houxi wants to cry without tears!
