Shao Dianmi appeared in Huashan County, and the down-and-out spy boss regained his former self-confidence.

Recently, he may be the busiest leader under Ding Kui, and in more than a month, he has traveled all over Yanling County, Huashan County, Zhushan County, Tunchang County, Dongxing County, Daling County, Pingfu County and Chongxi County.

This is not an easy task, mainly thanks to his experience and the help of the garrisons in various places, the spy also cherishes life, especially in the face of people who know the roots, only a few want to escape because their family members are in the hands of the imperial court, and are finally chased and killed by the army.

With the secret spies of nearly half of the state in hand, his confidence is different, although there is still a world of difference compared to before, but the foundation for rebuilding the spy network is there, and there are subordinates to help him do some dirty work, and it will be easier to summon the old department.

"Oh, assemble the city defense army and prepare to transform it into a local army, isn't this Shao Dianxi learning from me? Hehe, is the next step to intercept taxes to replenish military funds?" Ding Kui was not surprised by the information sent by Shao Dianmi.

"My lord," Shao Dianmi resolutely no longer complimented the Ding Kui brothers, "I heard that the imperial court will appoint a commander to Nannuma Prefecture to command the local army. ”

Ding Kui thought to himself: This guy still has some connections, and he can get news of the capital from so far away.

He said: "The Commander's Mansion is about to announce the abolition of the Nannuma Prefecture War Zone, and order the second uncle to return to the capital immediately, if it is said that the commander is appointed to Nannuma Prefecture, then it is very likely to be selected from the clan mansion, it seems that Shaodian does not trust the generals of the commander's mansion, and he wants to select people to lead the troops among the children of the royal family." ”

"Your Excellency is right! Shaodian Mi immediately reacted, and Ding Kui was pointing him in the direction.

There are a lot of Ding Kui's eyeliners in the Commander's Mansion, and there will be no mistake in this news.

"Go ahead, Nanjing City should also keep an eye on it. Ding Kui decided to maintain two independent intelligence lines, the Security Bureau and the Pseudo-Intelligence Division, to hold the key information himself.

Who has the right to know what information, in the Ding Kui camp with a complex composition of personnel, you need to pay attention, he will send spies, and others will also plant spies around him, at this time, the enemy must not be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes.

"Look, if you stop the pace of expansion, you will give others a chance to prepare, Shao Dianxi can at least draw two or three hundred thousand city defense troops, and he is still recruiting troops, and he doesn't know how many troops he can gather when you stabilize the rear. "Kong Ren has the right to know the information of the state city.

"The city defense army, hehe, in front of the Red Army to protect the country, I am not afraid of how much, the key is to quickly build the factory in Nanqiu County, I need a lot of equipment to form more Red Army to protect the country. Ding Kui sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and didn't panic at all.

At this time, a guard came to report: "Someone asked to see the master." ”

"Who is it?" Ding Kui took the box handed by the guard.

"The man said that the master knew what was in the box. ”

Ding Kui opened the box and saw a small sword lying inside, "Huh?" he took out the small sword, "It looks exactly the same as the Moon Death, but the size is much smaller." ”

There was a line of words engraved on the sword, and he raised his sword to look closer, "Qingyang Zizhu." ”

Needless to say, the person who asked to see him outside must have something to do with the craftsman.

He immediately commanded, "Invite the man to the side hall." ”

After occupying the county seat of Huashan, he did not live in the county guard's mansion, but asked for a courtyard on the opposite side, so that it would not affect the authority of the puppet Yimo.

The person who came was a middle-aged man, wearing a dark green robe, with red and black skin on his face, and his slender eyes were black and white, shining from time to time.

"In Xia Qingyangzi, meet Lord Ding. He did not salute as soon as he came up, but bowed deeply.

Ordinary people can't be so humble or arrogant, he must have a background.

"Oh, excuse me, please be seated. Ding Kui beckoned Qingyang Zi to sit down, "Dare to ask who is the god craftsman Qingyang Mu?" He gave Qingyang Mu the title and showed enough respect.

"It's the ancestor!" Qingyang Zi's answer was not as Ding Kui expected.

"Fortunately, fortunately!" Ding Kui took out the "Mini Moon Death", "Your Excellency's skills are extraordinary, and you are worthy of being a descendant of a divine craftsman." I have benefited a lot from using the Moon Death for many years, and it can also be said that I have benefited from Ling Zu, and today I can get to know Your Excellency, and finally have the opportunity to repay the divine craftsman. ”

"Lord Ding doesn't have to be polite, in the next commoner, you can't afford your honorific title. The ancestors cast the moon mourning for the Jiang family back then, in fact, it was to repay the kindness of the Jiang family, as for the moon mourning passed to you, it was a gift from the Jiang family, and it had nothing to do with the Qingyang family, you really don't have to repay anything. Qingyang Zi didn't expect Ding Kui to be so enthusiastic.

Ordinary craftsmen are everywhere, who are the divine craftsmen? That is equivalent to the existence of the god level, due to the longevity of the reason, the number of the god craftsmen is far less than the god level power, and it is rarer than the god level power in this world.

Ding Kui didn't know how much difference Qingyang Zi's skills were from Qingyang Mubi, but with that miniature moon pendant, it was enough to prove that Qingyang Zi's skills far surpassed ordinary craftsmen, and this was a rare high-level talent.

"No, no, no, I will repay my kindness, whether the benefactor is intentional or not, I didn't know how to contact you before, now that you are here, don't be in a hurry to leave, give me a chance, how about you give me a face?" Ding Kui actually walked over and grabbed Qingyang Zi's arm.

Qingyang Zi looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Lord Ding, I didn't say I wanted to leave, how about you let go first?"

"Oh, rude, rude. Ding Kui returned to his seat, "Your Excellency must have something to do when you come to me, just say that as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you." ”

Qingyang Zi settled down, and said after deliberation: "I heard that you have created a new way of building, reinforced concrete, I don't know if it's true?"

"Yes, I was inspired by the Magic Tower, and while researching bridges, I stumbled upon reinforced concrete, a way of construction, and there are many coincidences in this. Ding Kui can only admit that otherwise, he will not be able to explain clearly in front of experts.

"Lord Ding, according to the ancestors, you have reached the realm of a divine craftsman, but you don't have the matching skills, and I want to worship you as a teacher!" Qingyang Zi didn't wait for Ding Kui to answer, and took the first step to kneel down on one knee.

"Hurry up, please get up, hurry up, how can I be your teacher? This is a joke on me!" Ding Kui was a little confused.

It is completely impossible for the descendants of the craftsman to worship him as a teacher, which is equivalent to letting him worship an ordinary person who has no combat power as a teacher.

Qingyang Zi's strength was very great, and Ding Kui didn't even move at once.

"You are absolutely qualified! How dare you laugh at you, if you agree, you will be the teacher below, and you will listen to whatever you say. ”

This is very tempting, of course Ding Kui wants to recruit Qingyang Zi, the previous attitude can prove that accepting him as a disciple can be called at will, which is better than soliciting anything.

"You get up first and say, I don't mean to refuse, I'm just afraid that you will regret it after you apprentice, and I can't teach you anything. Ding Kui made it clear first.

"You don't refuse that disciple, when you agree. Qingyang Zi stood up, "The disciple said it clearly, and the teacher thought it was okay to pick a day and officially accept the disciple as an apprentice." ”

"Yes!" Ding Kui was not pretentious.

"The so-called divine craftsman is able to cast magical artifacts from ordinary materials, such as the small sword, which the disciples used to create with the remaining materials left over from the casting of the moon corpse that year, but they only played the role of materials according to the law of the ancestors, and they are not considered to be the skills of the divine craftsman.

However, the reinforced concrete you created can be built into a sturdy building with very ordinary materials, and not only that, but the disciple has heard of the factories, railways, and rail cars of the Giant Sheep City, and has seen strong crossbows and alcohol.

These things that you created in Giant Sheep City are not complicated on the surface, and the disciples can imitate them, and they can even do better, but few people can come up with the idea of creating these things.

Only a master who has reached the realm of a divine craftsman has this ability, you may not be able to do it, but you can think of it, and you can tell others how to do it, and you already have the level of a divine craftsman. Qingyang Zi took a lot of effort to say this.

He is not a man of words, and as a craftsman he is good at doing things rather than talking.

"There's some truth to that. Ding Kui does not deny it.

He has a lot of ideas that are advanced for this world, although he didn't create them, but he understands them, he has this knowledge, and in a sense he has the ability to be a craftsman.

"Don't you think that the idea of a rail car is really amazing, two simple rails can bear such a large load and provide the conditions for high-speed movement, not a god craftsman would never have thought of it!

And the power of steam, although it is only your point of view, but the disciple feels that there is a huge amount of energy in it, the disciple does an experiment, the boiling water vapor can really overturn heavy objects, and ordinary people can also manipulate the power of the elements!"

The more Qingyang Zi spoke, the more excited he became, and his face turned black.

"Huh, how do you know so much?" Ding Kui remembered that the theory about steam was only said after the alcohol factory was built, and it should not have spread so quickly to the outside world.

"This, uh, it's not a secret, the disciple has been in the Giant Sheep City for a while, and you have several disciples and grandchildren who work in the Giant Sheep City and Hengfu City. Recently, the disciple has completed several experiments to verify some ideas, and then he has decided to pay you an official visit. "Qingyang Ziwei is embarrassed.

Wow, this guy is amazing, he knows how to test new theories with experiments.

Ding Kui's opinion of Qingyang Zi was raised in his heart.

"If you have ideas to exchange, we can discuss and study technical problems together, in fact, you don't have to be a teacher from me, I can share my ideas with you. He still felt that he was not qualified to take craftsmen as apprentices.

"No, you have to respect your skills, your disciples can't learn your ideas and skills in vain, and your disciples can't lose the face of their ancestors. Qingyang Zi insisted on apprenticeship.

Ding Kui was in awe, and the words "respect skills" made him unable to refuse.

"Okay, I promise you! I'm interested in your experiments, when will you show me when you're going to do it?"
