C110 (2/2)
Why did it turn out like this?
Only God knows.
The meal was so chaotic that it was hard to believe. The Old Madem went to take a nap, while Xie Jingyu continued to dig pits. Sheng Luan had nothing better to do, so he took out the Fire Rod's design and studied it.
Xie Jingxi glanced at it, and immediately became stupefied, wasn't the diagram produced by Yang Shouli, although it was different from what she had seen before, but the brush technique was not wrong, which meant that Yang Shouli was still alive?
Xie Jingxi walked over and took a look at the ratio of the gunpowder, adding some of the ingredients she had told him before, it was definitely true. The reason Gu Yun spent so much effort was to save Yang Shouli's life, so that he would naturally become a non-existent person, and with that, he could secretly produce more gunpowder.
Gu Yun's thoughts were extremely deep, but no matter what, it was fortunate that Yang Shouli was still alive. After all, it was not easy to obtain such a talent, so losing him would be a pity.
”Sheng Luan, did Master Yang give you this map?”
”Hmm? Didn't you know? I wanted to ask you, but Big Brother Gao also told me that sister-in-law helped him a lot, and some people who don't understand even wanted to ask for help. Oh, he changed his name now, it's Lord Yang. ”
It was no wonder now, when Gu Wan heard them talking excitedly, she also came over, ”What are you guys talking about, what kind of map is this? Oh, you know about this, pretty boy?”
”Go play on the side, what do kids know!”
”Hmph, so what if you look down on people. If you can afford to draw one, how can I not understand? I've even touched the West Ocean Fire Rod before, only your General Sheng can't do it!”
”Your ability isn't small. You've even touched it before. If you have any good ideas, feel free to share them with me.”
Gu Wan snorted, ”Back then when I went to the palace, I saw it at His Majesty's place. I also saw a book passed down from Xi Yang, where it was specifically written to make fireballs and firearms, but that book was filled with foreign languages and no one could understand it.”
”Does His Majesty even have such a book?” Sheng Luan rubbed his chin, looking eager, ”I'll go steal it another time.”
”Stolen? Do you understand? ” Xie Jingxi thought for a while, ”Sheng Luan has been at the coast all year round, so he should have come into contact with foreign languages before.
Sheng Luan shook his head, ”I don't really understand it, but I do understand it a little, so I have to find someone to translate it for me. On the other hand, Gu Yun knows a little more than me, so when the two of us add it together, we should be able to see 20-30% of it.”
Gu Yun knew this? Xie Jingxi was extremely surprised, but was His Majesty really going to steal it?
I feel that I don't necessarily need to steal a book, and even if I stole that book, I might not be able to understand it. I might as well take out a fireball and see, maybe Yang, Big Brother Gao can make it out. As for gunpowder, we also have our own books.
”What Jingwan said makes sense. If it's the Fire Rod, we should still be able to find it.” Gu Wan agreed.
”The Fire Rod is still secondary, after all, this thing can only defend itself, if we really fight it won't be of any use at all. What I'm concerned about is the guns, or even the ships, our Great Chen is way too weak.”
When Sheng Luan talked about all of these things, his entire body was radiating with light. He probably didn't even realize it himself, and when Gu Wan unwittingly stared blankly at him, he probably didn't either.
That night, when Gu Yun returned, he started chatting with him. ”Sheng Luan is indeed not bad, talking about his family's situation is really strange, even a young master like him is rarely seen.”
Gu Yun unhappily raised his eyebrows, ”Did he tell you about the firearms?”
”En, why didn't you tell me that Yang Shouli is still alive? I even felt sorry for him for a long time.
Furthermore, other than Sheng Luan and King Jin who know, the rest are also hiding it from us. After all, the less people know about it, the better. ”
Xie Jingxi leaned against the soft couch with a free book in her hands, while Gu Yun wrote on the table. The good thing about staying here is that no one is able to disturb me, after eating, I will either sit down and read or chat, it's so cozy.
Xie Jingxi said: ”Today, hearing Sheng Luan talk about the things outside, I feel that my usual life is too narrow, walking all around the four walls, really like a frog in the well.”
Gu Yun raised his eyes and glanced at her, the brush in his hands did not stop, ”This is still unknown, if you want to go out, you can bring you out to sea, but Sheng Luan is relying on this brat to get rid of this little miss, don't listen to him speak in all seriousness, the one who was most unreasonable back then is him, no matter what you say, you will not like those things from Xiyang, but now you are more enthusiastic than anyone else.”
had become more and more curious about Gu Yun's past, and he had the nagging feeling that Gu Yun had experienced many things in his life that he had never experienced before. ”Sheng Luan said that you know foreign language, and it really gave me a fright.”
”Hmm? Do you feel that your husband is charming now? If you're interested, I'll explain it to you slowly in the future. There's a lot of time, you don't have to rush to understand it all.
It has been a long time, but both of us still have unsolved secrets. Unraveling layer after layer is the best gift of the year, and Xie Jingxi felt that from then on, she would never be lonely again.
