The moonlight was cold and fell through the window into the wing, motionless, quiet and peaceful.
The wing room is not big, and the furniture is very ordinary, but it is very clean. On the table are the dishes and chopsticks that have not been cleared away after eating. In the dark corner, a pair of bright eyes flicker, staring at the window in front. It is Qin Huaidao who noticed something abnormal.
It is impossible to sleep peacefully and wait for death.
In order to be realistic and attract the killer, the quilt on the bed was messed up, and there were two pillows spliced together underneath. The coat was thrown aside casually, and there were two knives. At first glance, it looked like a person was sleeping soundly.
The knife was carried on the back when entering the inn. If there was a killer, he would definitely find that placing it where he could see it could confuse the enemy. Qin Huaidao held the dog-leg knife in his hand, sat on the ground, adjusted his breathing and waited patiently.
Unknowingly, it was midnight, but Qin Huaidao remained still and had enough patience. A slight footsteps came, which was undetectable, but seemed a bit abrupt in the silent night. Qin Huaidao narrowed his eyes and raised a cold look at the corner of his mouth.
Laughing——I can’t help it? That’s all.
There was a black shadow outside the window. Someone must have been peeking secretly. Then, the window paper was gently punctured, and a thin tube was stretched out. A cloud of white smoke spurted out from the tube. Qin Huaidao almost saw this scene.
If you don’t laugh out loud, the costume movies of later generations are not useless. Isn’t this useful?
The next moment, Qin Huaidao tied the wet wipes he had prepared on his face and covered his mouth and nose. He was not in a hurry to do anything and continued to wait and see. He heard subtle footsteps coming to the door, and they were like stealing food.
mouse.
Perhaps they were waiting for the drug to take effect, but the people outside did not take action immediately. Instead, they stopped at the door, and the two sides faced off, competing for patience and willpower.
After a while, someone fiddled with the door bolt from the outside and opened it slightly. The killer did not rush in immediately, but he was cautious and patient. He was a veteran with a calm mind. Qin Huaidao did not move, staring at the door and holding his breath.
Breathe and don't give the other person any chance to notice.
In the duel between masters, the hunter and the prey are in one thought, and carelessness will lead to death!
It was quiet inside the wing, and people were quiet outside the door. They were all waiting.
Not hearing the sound of breathing for a long time means that the drug has been used. The killer outside gently pushed the door open and rolled into the house from the ground. This action can avoid being attacked. The rolling movement is also extremely agile and the landing is silent. Qin Huaidao saw that it was true
It's a veteran, but it still hasn't moved.
The killer nimbly rolled to the edge of the bed, suddenly exploded, and stabbed towards the bed with a knife, fierce and cold.
Almost at the same time, Qin Huaidao, who was hiding in the corner next to him, also moved. He did not pounce directly, but threw a dog-legged knife fiercely. How can a pounce be as fast as a flying knife? Facing a veteran, you must use the fastest speed and the most ruthless force.
Use tactics to subdue the opponent without giving him any chance.
The distance was only two meters, and there was no warning. No one could avoid Qin Huaidao's full-force sneak attack.
"Pfft!"
The dog-leg knife penetrated the opponent's kidney area hard, going straight through the handle.
The killer just stabbed the knife into the quilt. Before he could put away the knife, he felt a sharp pain in his kidneys. He reacted quickly, retreated and rushed outside. Qin Huaidao had already predicted this, rushed forward, and grabbed the knife.
He rushed out of the room with his two knives, chasing after him.
He lived on the second floor, and there was another window at the top of the stairs, with one side open. The killer flew out, rolled on the ground, got up and continued running, with Qin Huaidao chasing after him.
The two of them rushed out of several streets and alleys, one after the other, and came to the door of a large courtyard. The killer was exhausted and covered in blood. He fell on the door. The door was not blocked. It was knocked open and the killer fell in the courtyard.
At the door, I wanted to shout, but I was so angry that I couldn’t shout.
Qin Huaidao saw that this man could still run for so long after being so seriously injured. His strength was extraordinary. If it hadn't been for the sneak attack with flying knives just now, he might not have been able to win. He was in no hurry to step forward and hid in the shadows not far away to observe. The opportunity was rare, but he wanted to
See who is behind it?
Soon, two people came out with lanterns to check. When they saw the killer, they exclaimed. One person stepped forward, hugged the killer and went in. The other person cautiously stuck his head out to check, then retracted and closed the door.
Qin Huaidao waited for a while, and after making sure that no one would come out to check again, he stepped forward. With a slight push, the courtyard door was pushed shut from the inside. The courtyard wall was not high. Qin Huaidao easily climbed over and landed nimbly in the courtyard, squatting still.
Observing carefully, I saw candlelight in the room and someone talking.
The voice was too low to hear clearly. Qin Huaidao took advantage of the shadow of the courtyard wall and tiptoed up to the door. He hid in the shadow and pricked up his ears. The distance was much closer and he could hear clearly. Only one person said:
"Shadow's attempts failed. The target's strength exceeded expectations and must be evacuated overnight."
"Then what should he do?" Another voice sounded.
"It's impossible to save him from such a serious injury. Give him a break, clean up and leave overnight, otherwise no one will be able to escape. Hurry up."
"That's fine, Shadow, don't blame me, you know the rules."
After Qin Huaidao confirmed that the two were companions, he didn't want to wait any longer and pounced on them.
"Who?" A warning voice sounded.
Qin Huaidao didn't talk nonsense at all. He slashed with his sword, and the opponent quickly dodged sideways. Qin Huaidao slashed the air with his sword. He was not in a hurry. He made a horizontal slash with his backhand. He was sure that the opponent would retreat and dodge. One of them jumped forward to shorten the distance, and the other sword was as fast as
Stung forward like lightning.
"Ah -" the other party screamed, looking at the knife in the abdomen, his eyes were full of disbelief, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "What a fast knife, you are..."
Qin Huaidao didn't pay attention at all. He twisted it, widened the wound, and then pulled it out and rushed towards the other person. After the other person sensed the danger, he rushed out very quickly. Qin Huaidao was even faster. He rushed up and chased him out of the yard and along the alley.
Running wildly all the way.
The other party noticed Qin Huaidao following him and sped away.
But Qin Huaidao's strength was different from ordinary people. After running for a distance, the other party was out of breath, but Qin Huaidao was fine. The distance between the two parties shortened, getting closer and closer. The other party became anxious, stopped suddenly, and his face became ferocious. He looked at it under the moonlight.
Somewhat crazy.
Qin Huaidao was worried that there was fraud, so he stopped decisively and treated him sternly.
"Is it you?" The other person's voice was a little cold.
"Let's talk, I promise to give you a way out." Qin Huaidao suggested.
"One hundred thousand gold, it's such a big deal, but your plan will come to nothing. I guarantee that no one will dare to take this silver reward. Let's just forget about it, because I'm afraid that life, life, is often worse than death." The other party sneered,
A mouthful of black blood gushed out from his mouth, and he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Qin Huaidao rushed up to check and saw that there was a stench in the blood, it was poison.
The other party mentioned one hundred thousand guan, and he was obviously from Fengyulou. These killers are as ruthless to others as they are to themselves. Such an organization is really difficult to deal with. Qin Huaidao touched the other party, but there was nothing of value except a little money.
Qin Huaidao turned and left.
When he returned to the previous yard, he saw that the man who had been hit by the sword was sitting on the ground motionless, his face was pale, but he still had a breath. Qin Huaidao stepped forward and said bluntly: "You are from Fengyu Tower, right? You should have investigated me.
You should know that I am proficient in medical skills. How about we make a deal? I will save you, give you an identity, and let you go. You tell me what you know."
"Thank you for your kindness. Only the corpse can reassure the organization and keep the family alive."
Qin Huaidao said unwillingly: "You don't want to destroy Fengyu Tower? I promise to rescue your family and give them a sum of money to make them worry-free for the rest of their lives."
"You are a good official, you have supported countless people in Qinjiazhuang, and you have also taken in Zhaojia Village. I have been wandering since I was a child, and I know that it is not easy for the people. Fortunately, Fengyulou adopted me. Fengyulou is kind to me, and I am not unjust to die at the hands of Mr. Qin.
"The other party tilted his head as he spoke, losing all vitality.
"Refugee, adoption?"
Qin Huaidao's eyes were heavy, chewing on these two words, and he had a guess in his mind. With the kindness of upbringing and the strict discipline, this Fengyu Tower is really difficult to deal with, but it should be banned, otherwise he will not be at peace.
After a search, but no valuable clues were found, Qin Huaidao took back the dog-leg knife and put it away, walked out of the yard, walked slowly along the streets, thinking, and unknowingly arrived at the inn.
In the lobby, the waiter looked sleepily at the person who came in through the door. He recognized the person who was staying in the hotel and went to sleep. Qin Huaidao went upstairs to the room, opened the window for ventilation, waited for the drug to wear off, and then closed the door with his head.
I was worried that there would be a killer lurking in the dark waiting for an opportunity, so I didn't dare to go to bed, so I hid in a dark corner and meditated.
It wasn't until the sky got brighter that Qin Huaidao went to bed and squinted for about an hour. Then he got up, ate something, rode away, and returned to Chang'an City in the afternoon.
At the main entrance of the Duke Protector's Mansion, when the four young men from the Protector's Team saw Qin Huaidao approaching, their eyes lit up and they gathered around to salute. They were all grateful to Qin Huaidao for giving them a chance to survive and teaching them combat skills.
"See Young Master!" the four shouted in unison.
"Excuse me, are you okay lately?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"Everything is normal." One person said quickly.
Qin Huaidao nodded, got off his horse, handed the horse's reins to someone, and said: "Take it to the stable, let the fifth uncle in the stable feed him well, and continue to stand guard."
"Here!"
Entering from the main entrance of the mansion, the servants who were busy in the mansion seemed to have a backbone when they saw Qin Huaidao coming back. They were all surprised and saluted and sent out heartfelt greetings. Qin Huaida returned the salutes one by one. Unconsciously, they came to the backyard, and He'er asked
He hurried over and shouted in surprise: "Young master, you are back. I thought it would take a few more days. It's great. Have you had a hard journey?"
The sweet greeting sounded like a lark chirping.
Qin Huaidao looked back and saw that He'er was dirty and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Hehe, I just came back from the workshop." He'er said sheepishly.
"Why is it like this? If you don't have enough manpower, just hire more people. You just need to manage well and spend money. Don't do everything yourself. You will be exhausted and inefficient." Qin Huaidao said with concern.
"I know." He'er responded with a smile, her heart was sweet, her eyes were shining, she thought of something, and added: "Young master, please wait a moment, I will go to the kitchen to prepare hot water." He said with interest.
He rushed away, like a beautiful butterfly in the sunset.
Qin Huaidao looked at the cheerful He'er, and the anger in his heart disappeared inexplicably. It would be nice to live a simple life.
Return to the bedroom, put the weapons away, rest for a while and then walk towards the bathroom.
In the bathroom, He'er was mixing hot water. When he saw Qin Huaidao coming over, he shouted happily: "The water temperature is just right. He'er can take a bath with the young master."
Qin Huaidao was used to this kind of decadent life and couldn't refuse. He was afraid that He'er would think too much, so he opened his hands and let He'er take off his clothes. He sat in the big wooden bucket, felt that the water was at the right temperature, and said, "I haven't washed my hair in a few days."
Come on, help me wash up. Is there nothing going on at home recently?"
"It's okay, everything is fine. It happened that Brother Xue sent soap yesterday. It is very fragrant and washes very clean. The young master is really smart. He knows everything. It is also very good for washing wool. The sisters are all praising it. By the way, it is also very clean.
Yes, yesterday I took 100 yuan to the East Market and sold it immediately. This morning I took another 100 yuan. Everyone lined up to buy it, but it was not enough to sell. Do you want to add some more?" He'er chirped, revealingly.
Cheerful.
Qin Huaidao was infected by this joy and felt very good. He smiled and said: "Then increase it to two hundred yuan. No more. You have to sell it slowly. If there are too many things, they are not valuable. You have to declare to the outside world that it is not easy to make. One day
We can only make so many, and things are rare and valuable, understand?”
He'er said with a smile: "I don't understand. He'er is stupid. He doesn't know these profound truths. But He'er knows that the young master understands. He'er will do whatever the young master says. He doesn't have to use his brain. How wonderful."
Qin Huaidao was moved and distressed at the same time. It felt so good to have a little beauty who was extremely dependent on him and trusted by his side. She had no selfish intentions and her whole heart was focused on herself. It felt so good!
"By the way, Brother Xue sent 50,000 yuan and a large amount of paper. Mr. Luo from Luo Mansion also sent a lot of furs, cloth and other valuable items. The warehouse is almost full. He'er has never seen so many
Good thing, our family has become rich." He'er continued with a smile.
"Look at this thing, it will be of great use in the future." Qin Huaidao warned.
"Oh, I see. Also, Butler Jia has almost finished the renovation. He said it will be completed tomorrow. I am worried about what furniture to buy. Young master will not worry about it when he comes back."
"It's pretty fast. Let's go and have a look tomorrow." Qin Huaidao smiled. Once the barbecue bar opens and the money rolls in, there will be no need to worry about money. However, brewing should also be put on the agenda, especially beer.
The two of them chatted about the affairs of the house while taking a bath, and they were filled with joy in the small bathroom.
After taking a bath, Qin Huaidao first went to the kitchen to eat, then shut himself up in the study to recall the craftsmanship of brewing beer and liquor, writing them down one by one, and then designed the menu. It would be summer soon, with barbecue and cold dishes as the main focus, and hot pot in winter.
Not urgent.
There is also a list of songs, the lyrics must be written down, put one on the table, everyone can read the lyrics in advance, and then listen to the songs, the effect will be better. However, I only have time to teach two songs, which is not enough. At least ten
First, which other song is appropriate?
Qin Huaidao fell into deep thought, and familiar songs came to his mind one after another, but were dismissed again.
It won't work if it's too modern, it won't work if it's too alternative, and it won't work if the lyrics don't meet the needs of the Tang Dynasty. It will be amplified by those who are interested.
Soon, Qin Huaidao selected a song called "Heart of China". This song was easy to understand and sang out the spirit of the nation and the deep love for the motherland by the descendants of Yan and Huang all over the world.
"Tang Xin", damn desire to survive!
As a soldier, Qin Huaidao will certainly not forget "Blood-stained Style", singing that those soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the liberation of the motherland have turned into mountains after sleeping, and the blood of heroes gathered into a blood-stained style.
The hymn is soul-stirring, vivid and touching, and it is most suitable for those girls to sing it. However, the three words "Republic" in the lyrics must be changed to "Datang", and the desire for survival cannot be lost.
There were three songs at once. Qin Huaidao was not in a hurry. He wrote out the lyrics and found the girls. He checked the learning status of the two previous songs first. He felt that he had a good grasp of them. He also had a feel for the soundtrack. He corrected some flaws and let everyone continue.
After practicing, start teaching new songs.
This teaching was in the middle of the night.
It was already late when I woke up the next day. I ate something in a hurry and then came to the courtyard in Dongshi. The pond had been dug and the Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram was well built. There was no water storage yet. The stage was also built and workers were applying tung oil.
While doing embalming, Jia Youcai saw Qin Huaidao and quickly stepped forward to salute: "Young Master, you are here, just in time to take a look."
Qin Huaidao nodded and stepped forward. The caisson above the stage looked like it was made by an experienced hand. It was very neat. The tenons and tenons fit together perfectly. There were no rough edges. The depth was just right. Looking at the seats under the stage, there were four large tanks buried there. He jumped on
I roared a few times on stage, and the sound effect was good, but the distance was a bit off.
The foreman in charge of the construction also came over and looked at Qin Huaidao nervously, worried about saying "no".
People who were busy stopped and turned to look over.
Seeing Qin Huaidao's pensive look, Jia Youcai was worried and dissatisfied and asked cautiously: "Young Master, is there any problem?"
"How many times do you shout here? I'll go further away and listen." Qin Huaidao didn't express his position and just told him to go away.
After walking a certain distance and making a gesture, Jia Youcai quickly yelled a few times, but the sound was not enough. Qin Huaidao returned, looked at the stage and began to think deeply.
I have worked in the palace before, so there should be no problem. Your Excellency was standing a little far away just now, which is beyond the norm. I heard that Your Excellency is proficient in observing objects and manufacturing. If you have any dissatisfaction, just raise it and we will change it immediately."
Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on the base of the stage. The hollow part in the middle of the four walls was still made of blue bricks with the Chinese character "福", which was quite beautiful. His heart moved, and he went down. He looked through the hollow part and saw a large vat, and he felt something in his heart.
idea, and immediately asked: "Who are you?"
"Sir, Xu Laosan, a common man, is the foreman."
"Xu Laosan, the stage is well made, but I need to adjust some places. Can this big tank be drilled?" Qin Huaidao asked bluntly.
"able!"
"That's good. Remember, drill holes as large as an egg in all the hollow positions. There are three rows of three in each row, arranged one above the other, nine in each row, and the holes are spaced the same distance apart from each other."
Xu Laosan quickly wrote it down and agreed: "If you do this, the sound will leak a little, but if you ask me, I will arrange it immediately and it will be done today."
"A large tank can absorb sound and form a bass resonance effect, but it can also cause the sound to be too low and difficult to distinguish. If some sound is leaked, the sound will be thicker and clearer. In addition, a loudspeaker needs to be built to amplify the sound and make it farther away." Qin Huaidao explained.
.
Xu Laosan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this. He realized that there was a technical problem here. Once mastered, it will be of endless use in the future. He quickly asked: "Sir, what is a loudspeaker? Can you teach it to me?"
"Why not? Bring a pen and paper." Qin Huaidao said nonchalantly.
Soon, Xu Laosan brought paper and pen, and Qin Huaidao drew a horn with ink, marked the dimensions according to the size of the stage, and explained to Xu Laosan who was watching: "It is made of thin iron sheet, and the small end is connected
Insert it into the hole of the large tank. You can wrap the periphery with cloth to seal it. The large section protrudes from the entrance of the building. It should not be too long and just stick to the wall. Otherwise, it will not look good. Install one for each large tank.
"
Two speakers on each wall are enough to amplify the sound, and eight on the four walls are enough to carry the sound far.
Xu Laosan was a little confused when he looked at the speaker. Such a simple thing could transmit sound far away and solve an eternal problem? But when he thought about the magic of Qin Huaidao in folklore, such a big man was making a stage for himself.
, don’t make fun of yourself.
Whether it works or not, you will know once you try it.
If it works, wouldn't he have mastered a magical technique? Thinking of this, Xu Laosan couldn't calm down anymore and said repeatedly: "Sir, I will make arrangements here. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and warned: "First make a mold of the same size with wood, and then put it on the iron sheet and beat it to make sure that each one is equal in size and the surface is smooth and flat, otherwise the sound will be uneven. Secondly, the joint part of the iron sheet should be burned red before beating.
They are put together to form a whole, without any gaps or leaks. Carburize them all after they are done to increase the hardness and ensure that the sound resonates and is loud."
When Mr. Xu saw Qin Huaidao telling him the key points, he was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Thank you, Sir, for your generous teaching. I will keep this secret technique a secret and will never let it out."
"It doesn't hurt to spread the technology. Only when more people master the technology can we make progress together. I'll build ten more and give them to me for later use. I'll treat them as the reward for teaching you how to build them, okay?"
Xu Laosan was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Ten are nothing, I will make twenty more, no, a hundred more."
"It doesn't have to be that much. Okay, let's do it as soon as possible." Qin Huaidao waved his hand and signaled Xu Laosan to leave. After that, he told Jia Youcai, "You haven't bought the furniture for dining yet, have you?"
"No, let's wait for the young master to decide."
"It's okay if you don't buy them. I drew some sketches. You can take them to the house and let me build them myself." Qin Huaidao took out a drawing from his arms and handed it over. On it is the table and square stools that were drawn last night. They are simple.
Convenient and easy to use.
Jia Youcai took it and took a look. The thing on it looked strange. He had never seen it before, but after seeing Qin Huaidao's various magical abilities, he had no doubts and put it away quickly. Qin Huaidao asked: "Follow me."
The two came to the adjacent row of rooms, which had been cleaned. Qin Huaidao said: "Smash down the middle wall, open it up, and connect the two rooms together to make a kitchen. You also need to build some barbecue racks. I will give you the drawings later.
Dig a big cellar in the next room, build the walls with cement and bricks, and put more cement to waterproof and moisture-proof."
After Jia Youcai agreed, Qin Huaidao led him around to see where the tables would be placed, where lanterns would be hung, where a stone road should be added, where bamboos should be planted, what house numbers should be hung on private rooms, and how to leave numbers on tables as table numbers.
After explaining everything carefully, he left.
The shop was not far away. Qin Huaidao went over to take a look and saw that there were many people queuing up. Business was good and no one was causing trouble. He left quietly and went back to his mansion to teach everyone how to make wine and sing.
The revenge of the Fan Yang Lu family and Feng Yu Lou may break out at any time, so we must seize the time to arrange the necessary matters.
Who knows which will come first, danger or tomorrow?!
