Chapter 18 Everything is ready
Speaking of this, Lin Yi casually took out a bamboo tube more than two feet long, more than two inches thick, and a lead on his head from his arms, put it on the table, and continued: "This kind of cupola cannon was only made by the second uncle last year, and each tube can fire five cupola thunders in a row.
The only drawback is that when lighting the fire, it needs to be lit with a fire knife and flint, which is both laborious and time-consuming, and if it is interfered with by the enemy, I am afraid that the ignition speed will be greatly affected, which is the only thing I am worried about. ”
When I heard this, I immediately remembered, didn't I still have a high-grade windproof lighter in my travel bag? Wouldn't it be much easier and faster to use it to make a fire? I immediately asked Lin Tong to bring my luggage, found out the lighter, and lit it on the spot and tried it a few times, the blue flame that was ignited in an instant immediately attracted everyone's eyes, and asked me what it was while being amazed, I had to say that this was a lighter, which was given to me by a strange person, and now it is handed over to Lin Yi, hoping to come in handy tomorrow.
Lin Yi took it and played with it, and asked me how to use it, and then put it in his arms, and continued the topic just now: "When you act tomorrow, you must act according to the plan, and the brothers outside must attack the palace as quickly as possible after seeing the signal, so as to receive us." Also, you should pay close attention to a person who has a thin and dry face, cold and vicious eyes, and a black mole the size of a copper coin on his left cheek. ”
"This person has a black heart, strong martial arts, killing people is like picking up things, and I don't know how many heroes have fallen at his feet over the years. He is Yang Baocheng and Ma Baoshan's junior brother Su Baojian, although the three of them all studied under the Wuli Dao people of Diancangshan, Su Baojian's martial arts are much higher than his senior brothers. And he usually stays by Sun Decheng's side, and I hope everyone will be more vigilant when they see him. ”
Seeing everyone's disdainful expressions, Lin Yi deliberately admonished again. Hearing Lin Yi introduce this person so tirelessly and solemnly, even I don't think it's necessary. What kind of chivalrous warrior who 'kills one person in ten steps, and doesn't stay for a thousand miles', I have only seen it in martial arts novels, it is all made up by later generations, and it does not exist at all in real life, Lin Yi is also careful.
Everyone carefully discussed some details, and was about to split up according to the plan, when there was a sudden knock on the door, and everyone became vigilant and copied their weapons in their hands. Lin Tong observed through the peephole for a while, then turned around and said, "It's Liu Huang" and then opened the door of the secret room and let Liu Huang in.
As soon as Liu Huang entered the door, he hurriedly said: "I received a report from my brothers just now, Miss Guo didn't listen to the advice of her brothers, went out without permission, and fought with the National People's Congress on the 'Drunken Wind Building' opposite the palace for some reason, and was captured. ”
Before I could ask, Guo Zhun couldn't hold back and jumped up and rushed out of the secret room first. I was afraid that Guo Zhun would accidentally hurt Guo Rong in anger, so I hurriedly beckoned everyone to follow closely.
As soon as I walked into the living room, I saw that Guo Rong, who was usually domineering and stubborn, was sitting on a chair and smirking, and there were words in her mouth, which seemed to be greatly stimulated. I hurriedly stopped the angry Guo Zhun, walked forward and said warmly: "Miss Guo, who bullied you, let's go and save face for you." ”
When Guo Rong heard my question, she seemed to be suddenly frightened, and as if she had just woken up from her sleep, she raised her head and looked at the people in the living room who had been surrounded by the inner and outer three floors in surprise, her face was instantly smeared with a layer of redness, and she hurriedly lowered her head, quickly covered her face with her hands, and hurriedly ran out of the living room.
Seeing Guo Rong's twisted appearance, everyone who knew her was puzzled. When will Miss Guo, who is usually domineering and unreasonable, feel shy! I vaguely felt that there must be a lot of articles here, so I turned to everyone and asked, "When Miss Guo went out, did anyone follow, I don't know what happened in the 'Drunken Wind Building'?" ”
Hearing my question, a young man from Guojiazhai stepped forward and said, "Little Yang Quan, the master of Guo Shaozhai instructed to take care of Miss Guo in Xia Haosheng, and she is not allowed to go out without permission for the past two days. But Miss Guo said that this was her first time in Ningzhou, and she had to go out to have a look, otherwise she would be suffocated at home, all of which were soft in her lower ears, and she couldn't stand Miss's soft grinding and hard bubbles again and again, so she had to take her out without permission, but she almost stabbed Lou Zi on the 'Drunken Wind Building'. Alas! All of this is the fault of the order, and the master of Guo Shaozhai is also asked to punish him heavily. ”
Guo Zhun glared at him and scolded loudly: "Eight lambs! Bastard thing! What punishment should you receive, but let's talk about it first, what is going on in the 'Drunken Wind Building'? ”
"Actually... In fact, I don't complain about us, the young lady just wanted to go to the restaurant to taste the delicious food and appreciate the customs of Ningzhou, and she didn't think about provoking anything. But there is a tall and thin man in a brocade robe with a black mole on his cheek, coveting Miss's beauty, and doing something to Miss, trying to tease Miss, Miss wanted to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect to be easily resolved by him, and hugged Miss... Embraced in his arms, with the intention of being indecent. rushed forward below, but was also beaten to the ground by him, and his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't get up at all. ”
Hearing this, my heart sank, could it be that this tall and thin man is Su Baojian, Sun Decheng's personal bodyguard, that Lin Yi said? There is an obvious black mole on his face, and his martial arts are so strong, and he dares to unscrupulously tease the people in Ningzhou, who else can there be! However, he can make Yang Quan's hands and feet sore instead of hurting his muscles and bones, will he use the legendary acupoint technique!
Lin Yi and I looked at each other, his eyes were full of similar doubts, and he nodded slightly at me, meaning that it must be this person.
Under Guo Zhun's repeated questioning, Yang Quan continued to speak.
"Just when we had nothing to do, a young man in black next to him walked over slowly, and I don't know what technique he used, but the man in the brocade robe let go of his grip on the young lady as if he had been burned by charcoal, and floated like a ghost and then retreated two or three meters away, watching the young man in black with all his attention, and the young man in black brushed me lightly, and my soreness was greatly reduced, and I turned over and stood up."
At this time, the brocade-robed man stared at the black-clothed young man like an eagle falcon, and his whole body was condensed with terrifying power, as if he would make a move at any time, but the black-clothed young man was facing the brocade-clothed man with an expressionless face, with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth, and the two of them were in a stalemate like this, and neither side had any intention of making another move.
After a while, the man in brocade slowly took a few steps back, looked at the black-clothed young man in a daze, and whispered, 'Your Excellency is extraordinary, let me come back to learn later', and then slowly retreated to the staircase, turned around and strode out. We were about to express our gratitude to the young man in black, but the young man in black floated away without even saying a word. We had to come back in disgrace. ”
Although Yang Quan's narration was not very clear and clear, the context in my mind gradually became clear, that black-clothed young man seemed to be one of the three black-clothed young men that Lin Yi and I met in the 'Jade Huchun' restaurant, and his martial arts were so brilliant I didn't expect it. He was able to defuse Su Baojian's threat to Guo Rong in an understatement, and exerted a strong deterrent on him, making him retreat in the face of difficulties, which shows that his methods must be very good.
A young man with a weak crown can have such profound martial arts and concentration, it must be a talented talent from a famous school, if he can use it for his own use, why worry about it in the future.
At this time, Lin Yi said in a deep voice: "Since Miss Guo has not been harmed, even if this matter is over, we still have to focus on the overall situation, we must not act hastily, if there is nothing important, no one should go out without permission." Especially Guo Rong, you must take good care of her, but there can be no more accidents. Also, everyone acted separately according to the plan just discussed, Gao Chang and I immediately rushed to He Shoujie and Jian Zheng to contact them, and Lord Li was here to wait for good news. After saying that, he bowed his hand to me slightly, and hurried out with Gao Chang.
When I returned to my room, I couldn't calm down for a long time, and the shadow of the young man in black always lingered in my mind. A series of previous chance encounters made me always feel that his appearance seemed to have a great relationship with me, he seemed to be coming for me, but I couldn't tell what the purpose was, and I couldn't figure out anything when I thought about it.
I had no choice but to stop thinking about it, and casually took out the five-shot short-barreled shotgun, and examined and wiped it, which will come in handy tomorrow. This shotgun is about seventy centimeters long, and it's really not convenient for me to put it under my robe, and it's too late to find a suitable wooden box now, so I just need to find a cloth suit to wear, anyway, I have a pass waist card in my hand, and this kind of strange-shaped guy won't understand what it is even if the guards see it.
