Chapter 9: The King of Huainan

"Brother, do you know spells?"

Liu Cheng's eyes shone brightly in the dark, and he looked like an African buddy. Yun Xiao saw a thick fire of gossip inside.

", this thing is called a match, it's like firewood. As long as it stays dry, you can start a fire anytime, anywhere. With this thing, all those flints and fires can be thrown away. ”

Yun Xiao casually stuffed a match to Liu Cheng, and then handed him a piece of phosphoskin.

Liu Cheng scratched the phosphorus skin with trembling hands, and it was also a puff of green smoke. Then an orange flame jumped out, and Liu Cheng looked at the flame with a look in his eyes as if a human had just come down from a tree. It wasn't until the wooden stick burned that the flame burned to his hand that Liu Cheng threw away a small match in his hand in pain. Then he paddled another one like a child who found a new toy, and there was a rare innocent and childlike look in his eyes.

"Brother, how did you come up with this? It's amazing, uh...... If this is made into a business, it will be sold, and our brothers will send it. ”

Liu Cheng is worthy of being business-minded, and he immediately thought of making money with this thing.

"It's just a by-product of my research, don't bother me. Tomorrow I will come up with a weapon of war, and with this thing we can win in the face of thousands of troops. ”

As soon as Yun Xiao turned around, he saw that Liu Cheng had already run away with a bundle of matches and a phosphoskin.

Shaking his head, Yun Xiao continued to work on this saltpeter to grind it finer.

Called a sledgehammer and drew a pattern based on the appearance of melon grenades in later generations. In particular, the small hole in front of the mouth is as small as possible, the groove of the melon petal is as deep as possible, and the thickness of the iron sheet is as thin as possible. It is best to float in the water.

The sledgehammer scratched the bare head. Didn't figure out why Yun Xiao wanted to make such a thing. Anyway, it's good to get it, and the things that Hou Ye makes are generally extraordinary. Stop-and-go. Stop-and-go. In mid-September, it was almost the spring of Huainan Province, and after continuous research, the sledgehammer finally forged the melon grenade that Yun Xiao needed.

Throw in water. Sure enough, it floated. It seems that the walls of this melon are thin enough, and the lethality must not be small, and the chemical properties of black powder are much more stable than nitroglycerin. Most of the black powder was poured in, and a piece of tissue paper was wrapped in a twist and inserted into it. The top was filled with small stones, and only a hole half the size of a fingernail was sealed tightly with yellow mud.

The soldiers dug a big pit, and Yun Xiao stood on the edge of the pit, lit the fuse, and threw it into the pit.

"Boom" The soldiers who were originally standing outside the cordon made of white ash were so frightened that they lay on the ground, thinking that it was thunder on a sunny day. There was a puff of green smoke in the pit, and Yun Xiao smelled the familiar smell of sulfur. Nodding with satisfaction, this thing is much more powerful than the fire rain thing.

Ignore the goshawk that pulls on you. Jump into the pit and take a closer look.

The scarecrow wearing the leather armor of the Han army has been blown into a sieve, and the leather armor is broken. After picking it off, he found several fingernail-sized shards and a lot of gravel in the straw. Yun Xiao believed that if this thing was in the internal organs, a piece could make people lose their combat effectiveness.

Looking at the scarecrow wearing the Yun family's fish scale armor again, it is obviously much better. However, a few nail pieces were still pierced by fragments, and a few iron bumps were found in the scarecrow, and after a closer inspection, there were no stones. Many of the iron armor had speckled marks on the outside, apparently left by a stone hit.

It seems that although the Yun family's iron armor has a certain amount of protection, it cannot completely prevent the attack of fragments.

Liu Changcheng's mouth widened. Seeing Yun Xiao crawling out of the pit, he closed it.

"Brother, is this what you made up?"

"yes, it's called a grenade. It's not a problem to throw one out and blow up three or five people, if that fire rain dares to make trouble again. Lao Tzu used this thing to blow him up. See if it's his interest or mine. ”

"Naturally, it is your stake, brother, you look at your family's iron armor has been blown through. The things that were thrown by that fire rain that day were so close to you, and they weren't stopped by the bears. I haven't seen any injuries to the bears. ”

Liu Cheng who jumped into the pit to check. After seeing the power, he angrily took off the Han armor on his body. dragged Yun Xiao and asked Yun Xiao to get him a pair of iron armor.

Han Gaozu four years. Liu Bang named Yingbu as the king of Huainan and placed the Huainan Kingdom first. The capital is six, and it has jurisdiction over Jiujiang, Lujiang, Hengshan, Yuzhang, and five counties of Huiji. In the eleventh year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Empress Gao killed Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and Peng Yue, the king of Liang. Therefore, Yingbu is afraid of the opposite. 败。 National division.

In the eleventh year of Gaozu, Yingbu was convicted and punished, and Liu Chang was renamed the king of Huainan, and Du Shouchun governed the four counties of Jiujiang, Lujiang, Hengshan and Yuzhang. Emperor Wen conspired to rebel six years ago, and was detained after the incident. National division.

In the eleventh year before Emperor Wen, Liu Xi, the king of Chengyang, was renamed the king of Huainan. In fifteen years, "the country of Chengyang was restored", and Liu Xi "migrated to Chengyang". National division.

In the sixteenth year of Emperor Wen, Huainan was divided into three: Huainan, Hengshan, and Lujiang, which were respectively given to Liu Chang's three sons, and the eldest son Liu An succeeded him as the king of Huainan, all of whom were Shouchun.

In just a few decades, almost all the kings of Huainan and the nobles related to Huainan have died completely, and only one Liu Xi has survived because he has left Huainan, a peerless place, because he stole the door to find care. Otherwise, the mortality rate of the nobles in Huainan in history would have reached 100 percent.

Looking at Liu An, who greeted him, Yun Xiao painfully remembered that this benevolent brother was also killed by Liu Xiaozhu without hesitation because of rebellion.

It was a great honor for Yun Xiao to be able to greet a vassal king in person. It had been a long time since the reputation of fighting the Taishou Star had spread, and no high-ranking official with more than 1,000 stone had dared to meet the scourge of Yunxiao.

Liu An looks very much like Liu Qi, but he is a head shorter. The long hair under the chin is very neatly trimmed, and it is very elegant when blown by the breeze. It looks like a bit of a fairy-like demeanor, and his manners are quite decent, revealing a well-educated aristocratic style everywhere.

"Yunxiao, the general of Zhengnan, has seen the king of Huainan"

Yun Xiao dismounted and saluted the princes of the surrounding fairy wind bones.

"The Marquis of Lintong is so young that he is worthy of a great responsibility, and he will be the pillar of my Han Dynasty in the future. This is not a place to speak, I prepared a banquet for the Marquis of Lintong in the palace, and the Marquis of Lintong invited. ”

Liu An's voice is very magnetic, and he speaks official very well. And the hall sound is very sufficient, quite a bit of Tang Guoqiang's taste.

"Lord Wang, please"

The prince wanted to feast the top gourmets of the Han Dynasty, which made the chefs of the Huainan Royal Mansion very nervous. I used all my strength to rectify the best dishes, if I could get the appreciation of this Yunhou. Then the value of the chef will rise, and the career will quickly reach a new height.

Legend has it that the king of Huainan paid great attention to health preservation, and he was very particular about his diet and daily life. If it weren't for the appearance of the demon Yunxiao, Dahan's tofu should have been invented by his old man, at least in the history books of later generations, people have copyright.

Yun Xiao didn't believe in feng shui before, but since he entered the Huainan Palace. Yun Xiao believed it, the fragrance of the entire Huainan Palace is peaceful in two words, and it is very peaceful in four words. With a warm smile on her face but not a flattering maid, and a maid with eyebrows but not a seductive face, Yun Xiao found that even the beast heads in the tile and fountain seemed to be cuter than elsewhere.

Now you can understand why Liu An has the temperament of a fairy wind bone, but after staying for a while, Yun Xiao feels a little relaxed.

"I heard that the Marquis of Lintong has studied under a stranger since he was a child and has learned a lot of miscellaneous studies. A little trick must not be able to enter the eyes of the Marquis of Lintong. ”

Liu An wore his long hair, and couldn't help but feel proud when he saw Yun Xiao's intoxicated appearance.

"Oh, this is designed by the prince?"

Yun Xiao looked at this Han Dynasty feng shui master with some admiration.

"This is the design of this king, entrusted to Jiangnan will be the famous master Geng to build. It took three years to build. ”

Liu An seems to be very proud of his work, and along the way, he constantly explains the names of pavilions and pavilions and their role in feng shui. The clouds and mountains are blown and the fog is covered, and the clouds are fascinated to hear it.

Weiyang Palace Yunxiao has been in, and Changle Palace Yunxiao has also been in. Not to mention that he also made Bi Ma Wen's Ganquan Palace. If you rate the palace of the Great Han, Yun Xiao believes that Liu An's system of the Huainan palace should definitely be ranked first. Even the humanistic environment here is incomparable to those palaces, and Qiandu's numb face is always seen in Weiyang Palace. Aunt Ying in Changle Palace stared at herself like she was looking at a thief, and the one who couldn't stand it the most was Zhidu, the supervisor of Ganquan Palace. This guy is fucking in his own house right now, and he's scourging a group of seedlings of the big man.

Huainan Wangfu is much better, and the fat steward looks like a big Fu. Walking on thick little short legs, he rolled over with a smoke, and he was happy when he saw people not smiling or talking.

"The prince's banquet has been set up, and you can sit down."

People are festive and speak respectfully. bent down to salute Yun Xiao, and I don't know how his big belly could bend his waist so low.

"Marquis Lintong, let's take a seat."

The banquet was placed in the hall, and the autumn tiger had just begun to emerge from the hole in September. There was no trace of heat in the huge hall, and the wind was blowing continuously. Yun Xiao loves the Hanfu with wide robes and big sleeves, and it feels like bursts of cool air are constantly flowing in his body, and he doesn't mean to sweat at all.

The ingredients kept ordering, and the delicious Liu Cheng had been fed by Yun Xiao. I tore a chicken leg after picking left and right, and after eating it, I thought it was good, and I tore off the other one. The Liu family are all carnivores.

Well, Yun Xiao is ready to apologize sincerely. Liu An did not have a single meat dish in front of him, all of them were vegetarian and many of them were original. It seems that it is served directly after washing, and it has not undergone deep processing at all. There are only a few taro, and it looks like it's been cooked. (To be continued......)
