"Little prince, there is still a gap in the hundred meters. What's more, I think your granary is not dense enough. If you don't believe it, we will just wait and see." Xiao Chen glanced at the round iron lump in his hand again.
It seems like there is some secret hidden inside.
Wanyan Pingqiu said that no matter how you pretend to be a ghost, I will never believe it!
However, Xiao Chen's eyes were fixed on the iron knot, and he had already started counting down, "Five, four, three, two... hurry like the law!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the north. Everyone followed his hand and saw a dazzling fire suddenly erupted on the top of the mountain. Then the earth was shaken by it, and then a burst of black smoke rose up, covering the sky.
Clouds cover the sun!
Just tell me how surprised the people who witnessed all this were, and how terrified they were when they looked at Xiao Chen!
This is not a human, he is simply a god!
Otherwise, he is a demon, or a transvestite...
If they weren't gods and demons, how could they have such great magic power!
It is said that a casual finger pointing from several miles away can set the entire mountain on fire. Even the Jade Emperor, the Supreme King, the Buddha of the West, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can only do this, right?
Fortunately, there was a water dragon team on the top of the mountain, and the fire was put out in just one stick of incense.
Someone came on horseback to report that a pile of grain and hay suddenly burst into flames for no apparent reason and had been extinguished in time. The cause of the fire was unknown and the loss was considerable.
Wanyan, Pingqiu and others looked at each other and said to themselves, "We know the reason. Isn't the culprit who set the fire sitting here?"
Facing the horrified looks of everyone, Xiao Chen looked calm and smiled without saying a word.
Just like a god.
"Master Xiao, you and your men agreed to set the fire at this hour, right?" Dugulou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.
"This gentleman is..." Xiao Chen saw that he looked like a Chinese and a scholar.
"I'm going down to Dugulou to pay my respects to Mr. Xiao." Dugulou slowly stood up and walked to Xiao Chen. He bowed deeply and raised his head to stare at him with particularly complicated eyes.
"Dugulou?" Xiao Chen suddenly thought of someone, "Are you General Fulou?"
He was the brave general who was victorious in all battles in the previous dynasty of the Han Dynasty, but somehow he was captured by Mo Jie and rebelled against the enemy. As a result, Xiao Chen's father, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, wiped out his entire family in Fulou.
"The nickname is not enough to insult Qing Ting, so there is no need to mention it. Now my name is Dugulou, Dugu of Dugu alone, there is a tall building in the northwest." Dugulou said softly.
There is a tall building in the northwest, with floating clouds on top, sparsely decorated windows, and a three-level pavilion.
There is a string singing on it, but the sound is so sad. Who can sing this song? No one is heartbroken.
Sighing over and over again, generosity is more than sad, poor goose with broken wings, unable to return to its hometown!
"Such a little trick can't be hidden from Mr. Dugu's discernment, and it makes you laugh." Xiao Chen stood up solemnly and returned the salute.
It can be regarded as an apology for the emperor father I was in this life.
Because no matter what, it is wrong for you to kill the whole family!
"Master Xiao is full of wit and wisdom, and I admire him very much." Dugulou said, walking back to his seat and continuing to remain silent.
"Xiao Chen, what on earth are you doing!" Wanyan Pingqiu became so angry that she couldn't care less about her grace.
"It's just a little trick. It was originally a joke with the big guys, but Mr. Dugu found out unexpectedly, so it's not worth mentioning." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
What kind of trick is this? It’s simply amazing!
Mr. Dugu said that you and your men had agreed on the time to set the fire. This sounds reasonable, but how could you make such an accurate appointment?
When you reach out here, a fire will start over there?
Impossible!
No, if you don’t explain it clearly to us today, we won’t let you go!
"This thing in Mr. Xiao's hand probably depends on the time, right?" Dugulou really didn't want to see the big guy continue to be teased by Xiao Chen, so he could only say something to reveal the secret.
"Haha, I can't hide anything from Mr. Dugu." Xiao Chen laughed loudly.
Everyone looked confused.
"Master Xiao, what is this thing in your hand?" Hu Yanlei was really curious. His big eyes stared at the magical weapon in Xiao Chen's hand, unable to take his eyes away.
"Oh, what are you talking about? This is a pocket watch, just for telling the time." Xiao Chen stopped pretending and showed off his cards.
This is a watch. The production principle is similar to that of modern clocks, but it is not as precise. Although there are hands on it, it is only an hour hand, not a minute hand or a second hand.
The twelve earthly branches are engraved on the dial to mark the twelve hours.
Even though it is such a small pocket watch, it took Xiao Chen and Imperial Treasurer Liu Fuhai two full days and seven nights to make it!
Just making a few small parts inside requires dozens of labor.
But it was successful in the end, because the process was too complicated and the raw materials were difficult to create, so a total of three pieces were produced at that time.
Xiao Chen kept one for himself, gave one to Zhuge Xiaosheng, and originally wanted to give the remaining one to Chen Jisheng, but Duan Ling'er accidentally saw it!
She was crying and shouting, rolling around, and wanted to say whatever she wanted. Of course Xiao Chen wouldn't give it to her, so he scolded her and kicked her out.
But as the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of being missed by thieves. What else can you do if Duan Ling'er is worried about something?
That night, he stole it while Xiao Chen was sleeping. Xiao Chen was very angry when he found out, but there was nothing he could do to Duan Linger.
It's okay to give it to you, but you have to keep it well and don't break it. This thing is very difficult to make. Remember not to knock it. Otherwise, if the parts inside are broken, the whole watch will be useless.
.
Duan Ling'er was obedient this time and wrapped it up with several layers of cotton and silk. For fear of getting damaged, she only took it out to take a look when no one was around...
Last night, Xiao Chen found her and Tie Kunlun and asked them to take advantage of the loud beating of drums and the darkness of night to quietly sneak to the hilltop where Wanyan Pingqiu stored grain and grass and lurk there.
When the hands point to Chen the next morning, you will set fire to me!
Just set a fire casually, we mainly want to scare Wanyan Pingqiu for a while.
After setting the fire, come back immediately, but don't get caught.
With the two of them's elusive qigong skills, it was impossible to be caught.
But is it Duan Ling'er's style of doing things just to set fire to random things?
Either she won't do it, or if she wants to do it, she has to make things bigger.
So he first went to Lu Fei and asked him for two strong bows with a range of up to 200 steps, as well as some special arrows.
Ask him humbly, how can we hit the target at this distance?
Lu Fei said that the location is very important, and the wind direction and wind strength are also very important. Look at the terrain of this mountain, it is the most suitable location for you to lurk.
It is easy to judge the direction of the wind. If the wind is strong, you can look at the flags on their camp. If it is fluttering, it should be like this. If it is rolled up, it should be like this.
Of course, the angle at which you draw the bow must also be precise. If you take two hundred steps, you must raise the angle of elevation, and the bowstring must be drawn to this level... This chapter has been completed!
