Chapter 120: Drought and Thunder Warning
Zhao Xu didn't wave his hand like in the movie, and let people drag Tang Ning down to the noon gate to ask for beheading.
Although he was angry that Tang Ning didn't take what he said seriously, Zhao Xu decided to spare this guy for the time being.
If he didn't make something as good as he said, hum, a board would be inevitable.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "The weather is good today, and my mood is not particularly bad."
Punishing you will only make my mood worse, so I decided to let you go first. But this account has to be remembered, didn't you say that you want to make a spell? If you can't change it, I'll ask you! ”
Tang Ning, who thought he was going to lose his head, couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard Zhao Xu say this. Even the two big men beside him put him down, and they didn't react.
Zhou Huai saw that Tang Ning was stunned, so he said angrily: "Don't thank the official family soon!" ”
Tang Ning realized that Zhao Xu had let himself go. hurriedly shook it to the end and said: "Thank you official, thank you official!" ”
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "I have already sent someone to send you to your mansion for everything you want...... What time is it? ”
"Back to the official's house, it's not time yet." Zhou Cheng replied immediately.
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I have nothing to do today, so I will stay in the Zhou Mansion and return to the palace when the time comes."
If you can't come up with your spell before I return to the palace, Tang Ning, this account between the two of us will have to be settled. ”
When Tang Ning heard this, he could only reply: "Weichen obeys!" ”
But it was very bitter in my heart.
Before the hour came, there were two hours in between. And gunpowder, how can it be so easy to do?
What the proportions of that thing, Tang Ning almost forgot about it. I wanted to try it slowly and toss it slowly, but this is good, Zhao Xu only gave himself two hours.
And this is already Zhao Xu's own face, he released the emperor's pigeon, was caught by himself, and there are few people who can continue to do things.
Just look at the dumbfounded looks of the master and their father and son, it is estimated that they both have the same thoughts in their hearts as themselves, and they are all wondering why Zhao Xu values himself so much.
After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he turned his head to drink tea, and said to Zhou Huai with a smile that his tea tasted good. Tang Ning hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the mansion, where people had been waiting for a long time.
Putting everything else aside, Tang Ning looked at the materials in a hurry. What is frustrating is that there is no shortage of catties or two pounds in it, let alone a lack of materials, and I don't even know where to start with excuses.
It seems that among the materials he told him the day before yesterday, he analyzed that Tang Ning wanted to make gunpowder, so Zhao Xu asked the head of the prison, Zeng Gongliang's honest and honest grandson, and they told Zhao Xu the formula of gunpowder, and Zhao Xu sent someone
Deliver to Downing three times as much as what he needs.
There are enough materials, and the next step is to start manufacturing. Tang Ning can't remember the proportion of gunpowder formulas in later generations. When I was a child, I secretly checked it, because everyone always sang 'I'm going to bomb the school, and I'm not late every day......
There was no one else in the house, except for the eunuch and Tang Ning who were locked out of the door yesterday for a night, only Ah Ash who had just been ridden by Tang Ning was left.
At this time, Ah Ash was pacing slowly in the yard, Tang Ning didn't tie her, she had just gnawed a lot of grass on the ground, and now she was walking to eat.
Suddenly, he heard a loud bang, and Ash was startled. Raise your front hooves and hiss, and run around in a panic.
Seeing this, the eunuch tried to stop Ash, but Ash ran left and right and overwhelmed him.
There was no way, the eunuch had to run to Tang Ning, and by the way, he also wanted to see what was going on with that deafening loud noise.
As soon as he arrived in the backyard, the eunuch was dumbfounded, and Tang Ning sat on the ground with a disgraced face at this time. And about twenty paces in front of him, a large pit appeared on the ground, and it was still billowing with puffs of smoke.
"Let's go to the water! Let's go to the water! Drought and thunder have struck! Let's go to the water! ”
Enthusiastic neighbors sent their families to re-enter Downing's house with buckets of water, and poured buckets of water down, filling the big hole in a daze.
The eunuch looked at Tang Ning, whose face was covered with black ash, and said with palpitations: "Lord Chan ...... Didn't you make that drought thunder just now? ”
Tang Ning nodded, but did not answer, but asked, "What time is it?" ”
The eunuch looked up at the sky and replied, "It's time for three quarters." ”
Tang Ning let out a long sigh, fortunately, he figured out the proportions before the time.
hurriedly said to the eunuch that he was going to go to the Zhou Mansion, and then turned his head and drove all the warm-hearted neighbors out.
The neighbors' families didn't have anything to say, and the family didn't have any water at home, but just a big hole split by drought and thunder.
was struck by drought and thunder for no reason, and was naturally in a bad mood. At this time, his gang rushed in in a mess, maybe people were already scolding in their hearts.
Who can live on this street is not a famous figure in the city of Tokyo? Such a person, everyone else is easy to say, but he has a big temper.
The family members have been serving people for so many years, and no one understands the uncertainties of these big people's minds better than them.
After driving the people away, Tang Ning mixed the improved gunpowder according to the proportion, poured it into twelve bamboo tubes, and stuffed all these bamboo tubes into a paper bag. Grabbing it with his hands, he hurried out of the backyard.
The eunuch had been waiting outside the gate for a long time, and he managed to pull Ash out of the front yard.
As soon as Downing came out, he flipped it
Get on the horse. As soon as he flicked the reins, he went straight to the Zhou Mansion.
The eunuch chased and shouted behind, saying slow down, slow down, this is the inner city, you can't ride too fast on horseback, and if you are caught speeding, it is not as simple as paying a ticket, it is going to lose your head.
When Tang Ning heard this, he didn't pay attention to it. I can't deliver things before the time, and I also lose my head. The left and right are losing their heads, it is better to make Zhao Xu happy, as soon as his old man is happy, maybe he will save himself from death with a wave of his big hand?
Downing's speeding behavior soon attracted the attention of the patrol, who shouted for Downing to dismount, but Downing ignored it. A group of people had to hide quickly, otherwise they would have been knocked on their backs by Tang Ning.
The patrols thought to themselves, "Is this worth it?" How can this fang be allowed to run so wolf and pig in the inner city, what kind of system is this?
So they chased after him.
In this way, amid the exclamations and angry scolding of passers-by, Tang Ning came to the gate of the Zhou Mansion. As soon as he reined in the horse, he jumped down and ran inside.
The patrol team behind was late, and when I looked up, it was the Zhou Mansion, and the patrol members got together to discuss it, and felt that the old Zhou family and the old Zhou family were both big officials who were not easy to bully, so we still enforce the law in a civilized manner, and don't do anything as soon as you enter.
This proposal was unanimously praised by everyone, so they politely told the porter the ins and outs, and after the porter heard it, he understood their feelings, and told them to wait for a while, and he went in to inform the master.
Besides, Tang Ning's side, when he entered the main hall, he said loudly: "Official! Wechen is back! ”
Zhao Xu was having dinner with Zhou Huai, Zhou Cheng and his son. Wen Yan raised his eyebrows, put down his chopsticks and said, "Oh? It's not bad, I actually rushed back, I thought you were going to miss the appointment again. ”
After speaking, he beckoned to Tang Ning and said, "Come over to eat first, and after eating, I will talk about your business." ”
"Xie Guan's family!" Tang Ning was very moved, Zhao Xu was still caring.
I have been drunk and asleep since noon yesterday, and I haven't eaten anything until now. I don't know how many times my stomach screamed along the way, but because he was in a hurry to complete the task given to him by Zhao Xu, Tang Ning couldn't bear to waste time on filling his stomach.
Now Zhao Xu's action may be just a deliberate move to buy people's hearts, but it makes Tang Ning's heart warm.
After washing his hands indiscriminately from the basin handed over by the maid, Tang Ning sat on the table, picked up the bowl and began to eat.
Zhao Xu looked at Tang Ning with a smile and said, "Did you not eat in the morning and at noon?" You're hungry like this, you eat slowly, and we won't rob you. ”
Zhou Huai said angrily: "What kind of system? What is this system? In front of the officials, why did you show such a vulgar side? Have you forgotten the etiquette that the old man taught you? ”
However, Zhao Xu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I went out of the palace in plain clothes this time, and I didn't pay so much attention to it." A little less pretentious, more real, in my opinion, is still good. ”
