Red Eagle couldn't help but secretly rejoice, he really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get there, and he was really worried about how he could find a craftsman who was willing to defect, but he didn't expect to meet it here. However, although Chiying was happy in his heart, he still said quietly on his face: "What is your name, where is your family, and what kind of work are you doing in the raw material workshop now?" ”

The man trembled and said: "The villain's name is Hu Liu, a native of Shu County, Yizhou, and he has been helping raw materials in the raw material workshop since the establishment of the gunpowder workshop. It's just that the villain is stupid, and most of the other people who entered the workshop at the same time are already craftsmen, only the villain is still an ordinary craftsman, and he has been bullied by the steward repeatedly. ”

Raw material compatibility? Chiying is even more happy, although Hu Liu is not a craftsman, he has been in the raw material workshop for a long time, and his mastery of technology must be very comprehensive. The key is that now Wei knows very little about the raw material formula, and there is an urgent shortage of talents on the main side of the raw material formula, and now the arrival of Hu Liu can be regarded as a send-off in the snow, as long as he is willing to defect from Guanzhong, Wei is very likely to master the core technology of gunpowder.

In the past, most of the craftsmen that Red Eagle came into contact with were from other types of process work, and there has always been a blank in terms of raw material compatibility, and Red Eagle has a high interest in the craftsmen of raw material compatibility work, but the gunpowder workshop is extremely guarded, and Red Eagle is not responsible for the security of that piece, and if you want to contact the craftsmen in the raw material compatibility, it is completely unavoidable.

But Hu Liu's unexpected appearance made Red Eagle a surprise, but Red Eagle was not carried away by the great joy, but said quite cautiously: "According to the regulations of the workshop, anyone who leaves his post without permission." He will be severely punished. Harbouring the fugitive's knowledge. All are guilty of the same crime. As a member of the escort, he was ordered to guard here to stop you and others from attempting to defect. Get up, I can't help you, you better go back to the camp yourself, or I will escort you back and you will be tortured. ”

Hu Liu's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground. kept begging for mercy: "The military master helps, if the little one returns to the camp at this moment, the person in charge will inevitably vent his anger and retaliate, the villain's death is not far away, please ask the military master to be merciful and save the villain's life." ”

Chi Ying shook his head and said, "I'm very sorry, my duty is where I can't help." ”

Hu Liu knelt on the ground, washed his face with tears, and said sadly: "Master Jun." Please...... Pity the poor villain......"

At this moment, several people rushed from the direction of the gunpowder workshop. Hu Liu watched from a distance, and was even more shocked, and shouted in a lost voice: "The military master helps, the chaser is the field manager of the workshop, if the villain falls into their hands, he must be dead without a place to be buried, please ask the military master to save my life." ”

Red Eagle nodded slightly at this time and said, "Okay, you can take shelter in the back for the time being." Red Eagle pointed to a cave on the left.

Hu Liu is thin and weak, but his movements are agile, Red Eagle just said that he should take refuge in the cave for a while, Hu Liu moved like a rabbit, and fled to the cave with a squeak, his actions were as fast as the wind, so that Red Eagle, who was born as an agent, was amazed.

Those people came down from the mountain, and soon went up the hillside, and the first one, apparently the Tian steward mentioned by Hu Liu, with a face full of flesh and a fierce appearance, said to Chiying: "Hey, have you ever seen a craftsman pass by here?" ”

Originally, the craftsman and the guard belonged to two different systems within the gunpowder workshop, and they were not subordinate to each other, and although the rank of Nada steward was high, he could not control the guard, and his scope of duty was only to manage the craftsmen.

However, Steward Tian has always been arrogant, and he didn't take these big-headed soldiers in his eyes at all, and he shouted arrogantly as soon as he came up, even the soldiers around Chiying were quite angry, if it was the commander of the escort team or Sima came out to reprimand a few words, they could only accept it silently, but Steward Tian looked like a nostrils facing the sky, what the hell do you count that onion and that garlic?

The faces of several soldiers were very unsightly, but with the presence of Red Eagle, it was naturally not their turn to speak. Chiying was very calm, and he didn't throw his face at him because of Steward Tian's attitude.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't find any suspicious people passing by here during the long wait."

Steward Tian snorted coldly and said: "Harboring a fugitive, knowing it, but it is a serious crime, it is by no means something that you can bear as a small chief, and you should hurry up and hand him over, otherwise you will be sentenced to a crime of harboring, so that you will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

Red Eagle said without humility or arrogance: "I have never seen anyone passing by, how can there be anything to harbor criminals?" It's a joke! ”

"Then do you dare to let this steward come forward and search?" Steward Tian sneered.

Chi Ying also said coldly: "Under the order of the deputy commander to guard the cliff of the back mountain, where the duty is, how can you be allowed to spread wild here, not to mention that there are no harboring criminals below, even if you really hide people, without the orders of Commander Ding and Deputy Commander Shen, no one has the right to search." ”

"You-" Steward Tian couldn't help but be furious, Red Eagle was a little elder, and he dared to contradict him like this, it was simply the opposite! "I see that you have a big problem here, the craftsman who escaped must have been hidden by you, come here, search for me!"

As soon as Steward Tian gave the order, several of his subordinates immediately pounced on him like wolves.

Red Eagle took a step forward proudly, pulled the knife in his hand with a "bang", and said coldly: "According to the order of Deputy Commander Shen, there are those who trespass on the cliff, no matter how killed, who dares to take another step forward, Hugh blames a certain person for turning his face and being ruthless!" ”

When the ten soldiers under Red Eagle saw Red Eagle doing it, they were naturally not to be outdone, and they showed their swords and guns one after another, blocking the way of the Tian Steward and several people.

Tian Steward and those subordinates usually manage and restrain craftsmen, and they have never seen real knives and guns, and their most powerful "weapon" is the leather whip, as for the bright knives and guns, they have never used them at all.

These guys who are used to being used to being powerful in front of craftsmen on weekdays are actually some guys who are fierce and inward-looking, and when they saw that the red eagle moved their real character, their faces suddenly turned white, and they hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.

Steward Tian scolded angrily: "You wine bags and rice bags are really waste, I don't know what you want you to do?" Good boy, you dare to shield the fugitives, and when the steward reports to Commander Ding, you have to give you a good look! Steward Tian scolded and scolded, but he was helpless, although his grade was above the Red Eagle, but at this moment, he had no way to take the Red Eagle.

Red Eagle said arrogantly: "I will accompany you to the end!" ”

Seeing that he couldn't get any bargain, the steward retreated abruptly. (To be continued.) )
