Fu Rui learned that Feng Lian had a reward, but she had nothing. She knew that Feng Lian had really erased her achievements, so she closed the door angrily and threw pillows and cushions in the room to vent her anger.
Kong Zhen was on duty at night and walked into a room. He opened a cabinet with ease and took out a small wooden box. The box was filled with prescriptions. These prescriptions were used to prepare various recipes.
Kong Zhen used the light coming from outside the crack of the door to write down all the recipes for firecrackers on the coarse cloth. After confirming that they were correct, he put the box back to its original position and quietly stepped out.
.
Zheng Ge and Jiazi watched the figure of Le Dian Dian walking away from their hiding place. Zheng Ge said with emotion:
"If we hadn't gotten Yang Jian and planted hidden stakes for Kunyu State first, how much would we have lost? Let alone military strength, these weapons and the like alone, these hidden stakes would have given our Kunyu State's advantage.
Empty."
Jiazi was a little scared when he thought about it:
"Fortunately, Niao had the foresight to take care of this aspect early."
The two of them saw that Kong Zhen had walked into the darkness and disappeared in the shadows.
The next day, a man dressed as a commoner riding a donkey followed the donkey and walked eastward three steps at a time. He left the east gate of the capital and continued to wander eastward. Although it was already February, in the northwest,
It was hard to feel the warmth in February, and the wind blowing did not cut me like a knife, but still felt like needles pricking me. Therefore, the man put his hands in his sleeves, huddled his shoulders, and hung his head as if he was not sleeping.
I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly I heard a noise coming from behind. The man opened his lazy eyes, rolled out one eye, and looked behind him. He looked calmly. There was an out-of-control carriage behind him, and the driver was shouting.
Get out of the way, while trying to control the carriage, the man hurriedly drove the donkey to the roadside, but the speed of the donkey was not as fast as the horse. Before the donkey could reach the roadside, the carriage rushed past with a gust of wind. It happened that
, when passing by him, a bucket on the carriage could not withstand the bumps and broke free from the rope, and the bucket of water fell on the man.
On a February day, the man's excited mind went blank for a moment, and the driver's voice came to his ears as he scolded the horse:
"Oh! My water! You beast! Do you know how much a bucket of water costs? I'll sell you today!"
Before the man could recover from the shock of the water, a panting man ran over and said out of breath:
"I'm really sorry. My horse was irritated by something unknown and even poured water on you. My store is not far ahead. Otherwise, you can go to my store to dry your clothes. It's so cold to wear wet clothes.
I got sick."
The man turned to him with a stiff neck and nodded mechanically. The man stepped forward and took his little donkey and continued walking forward. On the way, he also saw a bucket that fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the store. However, for the man riding the donkey, it didn't take long, but it felt like a long time. His body was frozen, and his clothes seemed to be so cold that he could stand up on his own. The man's scolding came from the backyard.
and the neighing of horses.
The man who ran from behind helped him to the stove and was busy boiling water for him, looking for clothes, and chatting with him:
"My name is Daleng. The driver just now was my owner. The horse is a stallion without a gelding. The owner doesn't want it to suffer. They say that a gelded horse has no temper. It does have a temper, but it can lose its temper from time to time. It's really
Some of them are unbearable and make you laugh."
The man was too frozen to speak.
Daleng picked up a pair of used coarse cloth clothes:
"This is the only one. You put it on first, and I'll make the fire hotter so you don't feel cold."
Regardless of whether he is wearing single clothes or cotton clothes, it is better than the wet clothes he is wearing. Anyway, they are men and they do not shy away from the big clothes.
I wiped his hair with a cloth, took off his shoes and put them by the stove to bake.
Daleng boiled a bowl of ginger water for him, and then found something to bake his clothes.
Not long after Daleng left, the owner came in from the backyard with an angry look on his face. He was stunned when he saw the man, sat down opposite him and said:
"That beast just poured water all over you. I'm really sorry."
At this time, the man changed into dry clothes and drank ginger water. He felt much warmer and waved to his employer:
"That's not intentional, it's okay."
The owner sighed and told him all the evil deeds of the horse.
The man asked puzzledly:
"If this horse is so disobedient, why doesn't the owner keep it?"
The boss looked up at him and said:
"I have seen those horses that have been gelded. They have lost their energy and are wilting. I don't like it. This guy is very energetic and stands out in a group of horses. What makes him dissatisfied?
Just make me angry, and let it work when it is angry, and the scene just now will happen."
The man smiled and said:
"But your horse is quite interesting."
The owner was very proud and talked about his horse again. This time he no longer complained, but boasted about how good his horse was.
The two chatted until noon. After eating a common people's lunch, the man's clothes were dried and Daleng also packed up his donkey. After saying goodbye to his employer and Daleng, the man headed east again.
When the man was completely out of sight, Huang Mi walked in from the backyard. Yes, Daleng was Wen Huai, and the owner was Ning Hui. They set up a tea stall in this place with no village in front and no store in the back. Come on, come on.
Frequent travelers almost come to them to rest, drink water, and some even take a bite. In addition to getting the news, they can also take care of some key people, such as the man just now. This man is not an ordinary person.
, he was also one of the hidden pillars of the Sui Kingdom.
Of course, if the horse is out of control, it is not really out of control. The purpose is to catch the man off guard. Huang Mi hides in the bucket and waits for the right moment to lift a bucket of water and pour it on him.
Huang Mi came in and asked Wen Huai:
"Are those cloths soaked?"
Huang Miwen's cloth was the cloth used by Kong Yan to copy the formula for firecrackers. Even though the formula for making bait has been eliminated long ago, it must not fall into Yang Jian's hands.
When the man was changing his clothes just now, while Wen Huai was not paying attention, he sat the small bag wrapped in cloth under his buttocks. The small bag was really tightly wrapped, with a layer of animal skin on the outside. Judging from the exposed corner, there was oil paper inside, but...
Whether it is animal skin or oil paper, their waterproofness cannot be compared with modern plastics. If the man quickly dried it, there would definitely be no problem. However, it was wrapped so wet and pressed by him, and the moisture
If it cannot evaporate, the cloth inside will definitely be affected.
Wen Huai nodded:
"It's wet, but it won't work this time for us."
Ning Xi answered:
"It doesn't matter. We have made arrangements in advance to ensure that when he walks out of Longshan Border Town, the words on the cloth will no longer be discernible."
