Among the three bigwigs in the southwest, the Mu family is the heaviest, and Li Xin knocked on the Mu family this time, just to adjust the southwest, so that the internal structure of the southwest can become healthy enough, so that the southwest can go further.

Li Xin and Li Shuo finally finished playing a game of chess, and finally ended in Li Shuo's narrow victory, Li Xin stood up with a smile and said: "You have people who have read books, you can send them to my General's Mansion, I will see it in person, if it is suitable, stay in the General's Mansion as a staff member and help me take care of the paperwork." ”

Li Shuo got up, bowed his head to Li Xin and said: "Brother's words are too foreign, my brother and I are a family, and there are some rough people under my hands, I can't get into the eyes of my brother, my brother's general's mansion needs to recruit staff, and my younger brother should try his best to find out for my brother, and I don't dare to have any selfish intentions in this matter." ”

"It's normal to be selfish."

Li Xin's face was calm: "Everyone has selfish intentions, if I have no selfish intentions, I should be my Taiping Marquis in the capital at this time, instead of being a thief in the southwest." ”

"You also have to be a little selfish, in the future, after we get out of the Sword Gate, there are still many things to be left to you to do."

Li Shuo bowed his head deeply and said in a deep voice: "My brother must do his best to be my brother's pawn." ”

Although over the years, Li Xin has never personally admitted that Li Shuo is his brother, but Li Shuo really called him brother for more than ten years, and respects him as an eldest brother on weekdays, and after all, the two of them have the same blood, and the relationship is still somewhat different.

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm here, I'm not in a hurry to go back, just stay and have dinner." ”

Li Shuo bowed his head respectfully: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

…………………………

After Li Xin returned to the southwest, he slowly rectified the problems in the southwest on the one hand, and sent people to Shanyin to contact the six princes on the other side, and all the work was carried out in an orderly manner, and in the capital on the other side, Yuan Zhao Tianzi was not idle for a moment.

At this time, he did not stay in the palace, but personally came to the general prison of the Ministry of Works, staring intently at the craftsmen in the prison, his eyes were full of bloodshots.

Will be the supervisor, is the place where the top craftsmen gathered in the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, as large as the palace building, as small as the gold and jade beads, exquisite utensils are all from the general as the prison, originally like the thunder, this kind of thing, should be handed over to the people of the weapons supervisor to do, but the weapons supervisor will only make bows and crossbows and armor, will not fiddle with these fine things, anyway, everyone knows nothing about this thing, so Yuan Zhao Tianzi selected dozens of the top craftsmen from the general prison, since the first year of Yuan Zhao, he has been studying the medicinal powder of the heavenly thunder.

By the time of last year, these craftsmen had come up with some specious powder left by Li Xin in the first year of Yuan Zhao according to some specious powder left by Li Xin in the first year of Yuan Zhao, and then last year, in order to leave the capital, Li Xin left more than a dozen heavenly thunder for Yuan Zhao Tianzi, and after confirming that he had obtained the real thing, Yuan Zhao Tianzi immediately ordered to be a prisoner and make every effort to study the medicinal powder of Tianlei.

This world does not have the analytical tools that I have in the later life, and if I want to find out what is in the powder, I can only achieve the goal through extremely crude methods, which can be summed up as nothing more than seeing with my eyes, smelling with my nose, and touching with my hands, but the most useful method is to ...... Taste with your tongue.

In the past few months, each of the craftsmen who will be the prisoners have tasted the taste of medicinal powder with their tongues, and then with their decades of experience, they have selected similar materials, plus the experience of the previous years, they finally made the heavenly thunder that belongs to the Great Jin Dynasty for Yuan Zhao Tianzi!

In the courtyard where he would be imprisoned, Yuan Zhao Tianzi looked intently at a clay pot in the middle of the courtyard, even as a Ninety-Five Supreme, he was now holding his breath, and his voice was trembling: "Ignite the fire." ”

The person in charge of lighting the fire was a small eunuch from the inner chamberlain, who had only been in the palace for a few years, and had not yet entered the rank.

He swayed and set fire to the inconspicuous clay pot under his feet.

In fact, the ignition paper of this thing is very long, and if it is lit, it will run away, and it will hardly hurt itself, and the reason why this little eunuch, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, is so afraid is because he has been ordered.

After igniting it, you are not allowed to run away, so you are left next to the clay pot.

The little eunuch waved with both hands, tremblingly lit the clay pot under his feet, then gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, overcoming the fear in his heart and forcing himself to stay where he was.

Clay pots...... It exploded with a bang, and the sound was very loud.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi ignored the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, and was the first to run to the center of the courtyard, and after the white smoke dispersed, what he saw was a broken pottery shard, and a little eunuch rolling on the ground in pain.

This little eunuch himself was not blown up very badly, mainly when the clay pot was blown up, the pottery shards that flew around him were splashed around, and one or two places on his body were cut, fortunately, in this "copycat version" of the heavenly thunder, the power is far less than the heavenly thunder in the southwest, and the scratched injuries of this Xiao eunuch are also slightly injured, and there is no major problem.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi frowned, looked back at the general who would be the prisoner, and said with some displeasure: "This level is far from reaching the level that it can be used on the battlefield, this person is wearing cloth clothes and is only slightly injured, if it is a soldier wearing armor on the battlefield, there will basically be no damage!" ”

Jiang Zuo Ling was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the Son of Heaven and said: "Your Majesty, this is the most powerful medicine powder that I have made in the past few months as a prisoner, although it is still inferior to the heavenly thunder in the southwest, but the general prison has found a direction, I believe that after a while, I will definitely make a medicinal powder comparable to the heavenly thunder in the southwest!" ”

The Son of Heaven glanced at this general coldly, and said coldly: "I don't have much time, and you won't have it, I will give you another three months, and after three months, I will see the thunder that can be used for military purposes, otherwise, all the people who will be imprisoned will have to suffer their sins!" ”

After that, the Son of Heaven snorted and walked away.

After the Son of Heaven left, he got up and looked back at the circle of craftsmen beside him, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Everyone, you have all heard Your Majesty's words, in these three months, none of you should leave, let's think about getting this thing out together, otherwise I am afraid that we will all face the disaster of death." ”

After that, the general ordered dozens of craftsmen to leave.

From beginning to end, no one paid attention to the little eunuch who had been lying on the ground and wailing.

After the Son of Heaven returned to Weiyang Palace from the general as a prisoner, the great eunuch Xiao Zheng immediately sent the military report from the northern Xinjiang, he bent over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the news from the northern Xinjiang?" ”

At this time, more than three months had passed since Li Xin broke the enemy out of the pass and returned to the pass, and the whole court already knew that the northern frontier was safe for the time being.

The Son of Heaven cleaned his hands, stretched out his hand to take the document sent by Northern Xinjiang, and after a brief glance, he frowned: "Yuwen Tao of the Helan Department of Northern Xinjiang, want to ask me for an identity?" ”

He looked down, and his brow furrowed even deeper.

"He said that it was promised to him by the Taifu Dynasty and the Great Jin Court."

Yuan Zhao Tianzi snorted: "This teacher of mine is really generous to others. ”

From beginning to end, he was just talking to himself, and Xiao Zheng didn't interject even half a sentence.

After muttering to himself, the Son of Heaven exhaled slowly.

"That's it, I'm not going to compete with these northern barbarians for the time being."

He turned his head to look at Xiao Zheng.

"Go and make it, give this what Yuwentao, seal a general, and add a marquis."

Xiao Zheng bowed respectfully.

"The slave obeys."
