C65 (1/2)

Xie Jingxi had not been relaxed for the entire day, but Gu Yun was actually quite at ease. He had been guarding a pot of tea all morning, and in front of him was the registrar of the warehouse.

Everyone did not go home to eat lunch, some people even brought their own food, if the conditions were better, there would be someone to give it to, like Gu Yun, who could definitely come back after he had eaten. But since he had just started his job, it was not good for him to be special, so he brought it here every day.

That day, Zhao Zhang brought over a box of food. Gu Yun opened it and took a look, and immediately knew that it was prepared by his wife. Therefore, if you were a big fish and a big meat dish, then it would be a bit eye-catching. But in fact, Gu Yun did not want to waste his wife's food that was easy to prepare, otherwise, it would be fine even if he gave her food every day.

Coincidentally, Yang Shouli had returned from who knows where, as if he was busy with work. He did not even manage to see Gu Yun greet him, and quickly returned to his seat with his head lowered, as if he was in a hurry to become a thief and escaped. Yang Shouli dressed him in a proper official's uniform, giving him the temperament of a bandit boss. He estimated that even if he wore the dragon robe and walked around the streets, he would still be able to scare a baby to death.

Yang Shouli took out a few ku's worth of water and unknowingly washed his hands. As he grabbed the tea, he stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed half of it in one gulp, as though he was swallowing a whole bunch of dates. Just listening to the sound of the swallowing was enough to make him choke his pants and swallow two of them in one gulp.

Gu Yun could not watch any longer, and said to Yang Shouli: ”Master Yang, I brought a lot today, do you want to eat together?”

Yang Shouli fiercely swallowed it down, finally swallowing down the random things in his throat, and waved his hand, ”I won't be eating your bird food, I'll be hungry even if I were to feed it to a cat. I'll still be honest with this stuff, it's better to bring it along to fill my stomach, eight to ten, complete!”

Gu Yun laughed, and continued to leisurely taste the cat food prepared by his wife. As expected, Yang Shouli swallowed eight ku in one go, clapped his hands, and left in a hurry. After finishing his meal, Gu Yun sat for a while, then walked towards the rooms at the back of the treasury.

It was connected to the armory, occupying more than twenty rooms. Since there was someone who would take care of it normally, when Yang Shouli had nothing better to do, he made a special room for himself to study his trash.

Although was a nobody, he did not let anyone else into his house. Although Gu Yun had not been in his room for a few days, he was still allowed to enter with great dignity, he was extremely tactful, and it would be easy for him to grab hold of someone's temper easily. Others might think that Yang Shouli was strange and unapproachable, but they would feel that it was difficult to get close to him.

The only window in the house was covered by a cloth, so he could barely see in the day, but it was a bit eerie when he first came in. People like Gu Yun who couldn't stand the cold started to feel uneasy, he intentionally wore a cape and quietly knocked on the door, waiting for Yang Shouli's reply after a while.

”It's me, Gu Yun.”

Yang Shouli put down the thing in his hand, unhappily came over to open the door, and upon seeing Gu Yun's face, he gulped down a mouthful of complaints, mixed with his stomach full of cold water. He burped, then anxiously scratched his head: ”Hurry, quickly close the door, don't get caught in the wind.”

Yang Shouli was a careless man who spent his days here fiddling with firearms. Gu Yun looked at his blueprints, from developing the proportions of various kinds of gunpowder to the designs of some fireballs. The degree of detail surprised Gu Yun, it was hard to imagine such a strange old man could do something like this.

Gu Yun had seen some of the firearms that were passed down from overseas before, and it was definitely a hundred times more sophisticated than the Great Chen. However, Great Chen did not focus on martial arts, so the development in this area was practically non-existent, the most important uses of the firearms in the Great Chen were probably cannon celebrations and hunting, while some of the fireballs that were offered at the northern border were not practical, and were probably still lying in the palace as decorations.

If Yang Shouli this guy could really come up with something, it would be a good thing. However, if he wanted to develop and apply it, it seemed that he still had a long way to go, and this did not hinder Gu Yun's interest in him.

Gu Yun knew the rules when he entered, he didn't ask, but only folded his arms and watched from the side. Yang Shouli didn't know what kind of crucial point he came across, the pain of him scratching his head could just explode on the spot, the smell of sulfur saltpeter was extremely pungent, he really didn't know how he suffered from being cooped up here all day.

”I feel that the diameter of the Fire Rod can be expanded a little bit more, the length of the rod is a little bit shorter, and the medicine room part is a little bit larger.”

Gu Yun picked up the drawing that he had randomly thrown on the ground, and guessed that it was a plan he had rejected, he felt that Yang Shouli had some talent, the structure of the fire rod that he had drawn was close to what he had seen, but it was possible that he was still trying to figure it out in terms of size. Of course, with the power of the gunpowder, it could be said that every step was extremely important, it was already very rare for him to be able to create such a thing like this.

Yang Shouli was suddenly cut off by him, and was about to get angry, but when he saw the map that he had abandoned, he was stunned, as though he was considering a solution. He anxiously grabbed the blueprint in Gu Yun's hands, and buried his head again to revise.

”You make some sense. I'll tell you later!”

Gu Yun covered his nose and laughed, he felt that Yang Shouli was a strange and interesting person, to be able to be allowed to do as he pleased in this room, it meant that had already accepted him as a friend, so Gu Yun did not stand on ceremony with him, and continued to tour the place.
