[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 37 [English]

Chapter 37 Fire Gun

Shen Zechuan’s eyesight went dark, and he got much closer to Xiao Chiye.he listened to Xiao Chiye say: “It really smells like me, it’s too pungent.”

Shen Zechuan changed the subject and asked, “Have you added a new weapon to the Forbidden Army?”

“Bronze fire gun.” Xiao Chiye put his finger to the tip of Shen Zechuan’s nose and let him smell it, “It was mixed with your smell, so I couldn’t tell it for a while.”

“I don’t smell like anything.” Shen Zechuan’s nose twitched slightly and he said, “Did you raid the Eighth Battalion’s military depot?”

The fire gun was restricted by the imperial court. After it was improved from the original bamboo tube to a copper tube, it became the equipment of Chunquan Camp among the eight camps.This thing is lethal, but it is not easy to control. The range of projectiles is limited, and it takes time to load it.However, since the Eighth Battalion guards the capital, most of the battles are street fights. Not only is it difficult for the firecrackers to play their role, but they have become a burden. Therefore, the Eighth Battalion has not popularized it, but chooses to leave it idle. It will only be used during the annual school field drills.

The Eighth Camp is not suitable, but it is very suitable for the Libei Iron Cavalry.The Libei Iron Cavalry is a heavy cavalry army, with infantry and light cavalry in the minority. They mostly prefer straight-line charges like huge waves.In the early years, the Great Zhou Dynasty set up a cavalry guard station at Luoxia Pass. In order to deal with the extremely fast speed of the Biansha cavalry, they spent a lot of money to purchase horses and tried to establish the Great Zhou Dynasty’s own cavalry horse farm.However, the horses sent by the Biansha Tribe to each other are often second-rate products from the tribe. Their horses are real hummers that are crossbred with wild wolves under the Hongyan Mountains. Equipped with scimitars and strong warriors, they are invincible wherever they go.

This is why Xiao Fangxu created the Libei Cavalry with iron armor and steel hooves, forming a living iron wall in the northwest, making it impossible for the stormy impact of the Biansha Cavalry to cross this steel wall.

The northwest is a vast expanse of grassland. If the Libei cavalry can equip the Libei cavalry with fire guns, the long-distance impact of the Biansha cavalry will become the Libei cavalry’s advantage.The long-distance impact can leave enough time for the fire cannon to fill up. When the cavalry arrives, it will be within the firing range of the fire cannon.

This is simply an added advantage for Libei.

“The Eighth Battalion captured Xi Gu’an, but it’s still the Eighth Battalion.” Xiao Chiye took a step closer and pushed Shen Zechuan forward with his chest. “There is no such thing as copying from the military library. It’s just a change of owner. Don’t worry, I just used it for fun.”

Shen Zechuan took a few steps, as if he really didn’t care, and just said: “Can you lift the blanket and walk?”

“[1] The days are short and the nights are long, why not travel by candlelight.” Xiao Chiye smiled, “Do you want to come and have fun with me too?”

“Since he didn’t get it openly, it would be safer to hide it.” Shen Zechuan lifted up the blanket and got out, “traveling across the capital with the smell of gunpowder, it’s late at night.”

“There’s nothing important during the day.” Xiao Chiye held a pillow between his legs, raised one arm, supported the blanket and walked, scanning the eaves of the corridor with his eyes, “Who doesn’t know that I, Xiao Ce’an, love to play, and I can also shoot birds with a blunderbuss.”

He emphasized the word “bird”, and Ding Tao and Gu Jin, who were lying above them, shivered together.

After entering the house, Xiao Chiye threw the blanket and pillow on the couch where he slept, kicked off his boots two or three times, and went to take a shower with his feet on his feet.He took off half of his clothes and stretched out half of his body from behind the curtain.

“Did you wash it?”

Shen Zechuan rinsed his mouth and said, “I washed it.”

Xiao Chiye washed it himself.He moved quickly, wiping the water on his neck when he came out, and saw that Shen Zechuan was already lying on his back.Xiao Chiye looked at the heavily covered back of his neck, wiped his hair hastily, and blew out the lamp.

Shen Zechuan listened to he and sat on the couch, opened the box and was looking for something.

“Lan Zhou,” Xiao Chiye closed the box and said, “Are you asleep?”

Shen Zechuan replied without emotion: “Asleep.”

“Dali Temple called many doctors today, but they didn’t dare to alert the Taiyuan Hospital.” Xiao Chiye said, “What did you do to Ji Lei?”

Shen Zechuan said: “Do you want to listen to ghost stories late at night?”

“We will interrogate the Xing prison guards tomorrow morning,” Xiao Chiye said.

It’s just a show.

Shen Zechuan didn’t know whether Hai Liangyi could tolerate such a thing, but he knew that Xue Xiuzhuo would definitely be able to.Xue Xiuzhuo had already obtained the confession he wanted, so Ji Lei was useless.This stall was smashed by Shen Zechuan, but he didn’t want to clean it up at all, because Xue Xiuzhuo and Xi Hongxuan had to clean it up.

Shen Zechuan thought of this and said, “If I keep my peace of mind, I’ll check it…”

Xiao Chiye lay down, then suddenly sat up and said, “Wipe my hair.”

Shen Zechuan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Xiao Chiye said: “Don’t pretend to be asleep, hurry up.”

Xiao Chiye said: “Lan Zhou.”

Xiao Chiye said: “Shen Lanzhou.”

The bed suddenly sank. Shen Zechuan opened his eyes in shock. The quilt had been lifted. Xiao Chiye squeezed him from behind and rubbed his wet head on his back, immediately getting wet.

Shen Zechuan dragged the quilt and said, “Xiao Er, you are three years old!”

“Almost.” Xiao Chiye said lazily, “Aren’t you asleep? Keep sleeping.”

The more Shen Zechuan slept, the more wet he became. The hair stuck to him coolly, and with it came Xiao Chiye, who smelled the same as the one on the handkerchief last night.

Shen Zechuan opened his eyes and said, “My clothes are wet.”

No one answered.

Shen Zechuan said: “Don’t pretend to be asleep.”

Shen Zechuan said: “Xiao Er.”

Shen Zechuan stood up with his arms and said in the darkness: “Xiao Ce’an, you are an asshole.”

The bastard thoughtfully handed him a dry handkerchief and turned his back to wait.

Ding Tao on the roof shrank his hands and said, “It’s so cold in the snow, I’m afraid this winter will be difficult.”

Gujin handed the wine bag to he, rubbed his hands and said, “We have been on guard for two nights. It’s time to change people tomorrow morning.”

Ding Tao took a sip of wine, which warmed him up.He also lay down with his hands on his hands, looked at the night sky, and said, “There was no movement tonight.”

“There is a long way to go.” Gu Jin covered the wine bag, and suddenly his ears twitched, and he suddenly turned over on his stomach, his eyes patrolling the vast night like a falcon.

There was a slight sound of stepping on the snow in the wind. Gu Jin made an immediate decision, turned his hand and threw the flying blade, and whispered: “Northwest corner!”

Ding Tao suddenly jumped up, flew over the roof, and slashed into the night.

The black robes in the night are like waves, and the coming people are like ghosts, hiding in the shadows and about to run away.Ding Tao was as soft as a bone and hung upside down from the eaves.Unexpectedly, there were three steel needles in front of him. The penholder in his hand opened the steel needles with a “crack”. When he looked again, he saw that the person had run away.

Ding Tao fell to the ground silently. He was so good at lightness that he landed on the thin snow without leaving any footprints.

Gujin looked out from the roof and said, “What a great effort, you can hide from my eyes. Taozi, do you see who it is?”

Ding Tao picked up the steel needle from the corridor and held it at the tip of his finger. In just a short moment, he had already learned a lot. He said: “It is as thin as a hair and can quench snake venom. It is not something from Qudu. It is a foreigner’s thing imported from Yongquan Port in the Thirteenth City of Juexi. He has good light skills and good concealment. Although he does not have a sword, he is most likely a Jin Yiwei.”

He carefully put the steel needle into his bamboo tube and climbed onto the roof.

“The Jin Yiwei has withdrawn a group of officials, and there are only a few strong players below the fourth rank.” Gu Jin said, “Who will come to our palace to inquire at this moment.”

“It’s hard to tell,” Ding Tao touched her chest with lingering fear, “I almost poked my little book.”

Gu Jin drank thoughtfully.

Ding Tao sat cross-legged and began to whisper: “This book has been with me for many years. It was rewarded by the Crown Princess. I never had anyone poke me when I went to hunt the bald man in Biansha. It’s really dangerous, too dangerous. There are many things written in it. Did you know that my father’s notebook was stolen when someone wiped his neck? My mother,I remember all the big things, and I was about to die chasing after them.Brother Jin, I said, people still have to keep records, because when you get old, you forget. If you drink so much all day long, you should forget how much money you have hidden before you are forty.If you write it down, I will remember it for you…”

Gujin stuffed cotton into his ears and began to meditate.

The next day, Shen Zechuan woke up first.

He didn’t sleep, Xiao Chiye squeezed in the back, and the two of them fought hard over the quilt at night.Besides, Shen Zechuan couldn’t sleep with such a big person beside him.

Xiao Chiye slept deeply, holding the pillow motionless.

Shen Zechuan waited for him to wake up, but he waited for something else.

The erection pressed against his buttocks, full of energy, hot and obvious.The heat on the bed rose. Xiao Chiye didn’t know whether he was awakened by the heat or by force. In short, he cursed in a hoarse voice and sat up.

Xiao Chiye threw away the pillow, glanced at Shen Zechuan, and saw that Shen Zechuan was also looking at him.He grabbed a handful of hair, reached out and covered Shen Zechuan with the quilt, preventing Shen Zechuan from looking at it.Then he got out of bed without putting on his shoes and went directly into the pool.

Chen Yang was waiting outside, listening to the noise, and saw Shen Zechuan coming out. The two faced each other, and Chen Yang didn’t know what to say.Shen Zechuan was very natural. He pointed in the direction of the bathhouse and walked away.

By the time Xiao Chiye came out, he was already awake.he had some breakfast and heard Chen Yang say that someone had been here last night.

“Jinyiwei?” Xiao Chiye thought for a moment and said, “They are not looking for me, they should be staring at Shen Lanzhou.”

“That’s the Queen Mother’s people.” Chen Yang said, “But now that manpower is scarce, how can the Jinyi Guards still have such masters?”

“The water in Jinyiwei is deep.” Xiao Chiye stood up, “I’ll go to court and we’ll talk when I get back.”

After leaving the court, Li Jianheng hugged warm hands and sat in Mingli Hall. Looking at the people lined up on both sides, he asked anxiously: “…is this a sentence?”

Xue Xiuzhuo knelt down and said: “Reporting to the Emperor, Ji Lei confessed to the Nanlin Hunting Ground’s intention to rebel. Now the evidence is conclusive. Dali Temple worked all night long to compile the confession, and now it has been submitted to the Emperor by Hua Lao.Half a month before and after the case of Dang, the three law divisions held repeated trials and sentenced the two fellow magistrates of Jinyiwei, headed by Ji Lei, and the four Yuan commanders to be executed.The following Zhenfu and Nanlin hunting grounds were all sentenced to imprisonment.”

“It’s fine as long as it’s judged, it’s fine as long as it’s judged.” Li Jianheng said, “Master Pavilion is working hard and shouldn’t stand for a long time. Someone will give me a seat.”

After Hai Liangyi sat down, Li Jianheng continued: “The Hua Dang colluded with the eunuchs and the Jin Yiwei to plot rebellion. It is really abominable! Pan Rugui, as the Chief of Ceremonies, is greedy for power and wealth, and is extremely evil. This person cannot be deposed as a prisoner, but should be executed immediately! What the elder said to me last time made me think about it for a long time, and I am determined to work hard from now on.”

Hai Liangyi immediately stood up and wanted to bow.

Li Jianheng hurriedly raised his hand and said: “Sit down, Mr. Ge. Nowadays, I need Mr. Ge’s guidance on many things. It is appropriate for me to call Mr. Ge ‘sir’. I hope you can work together to assist me in the future. If you have anything to say, just speak out and speak out here.”

Xue Xiuzhuo raised his head unexpectedly, but his face didn’t show it.He and the ministers on the left and right knelt down and praised him.

Li Jianheng excitedly motioned for everyone to get up, talked for a while, and then asked them to leave. He only invited Mr. Hai Ge to stay and have dinner with him.

When Xiao Chiye came out, he was with Xue Xiuzhuo.

Xue Xiuzhuo said: “I don’t know what the governor said to the emperor, but the emperor was willing to be so courteous to the corporal.”

“Your Majesty is young and strong. It’s time to show off your talents. Even if I didn’t ask, he would do it.” Xiao Chiye said, “Dali Temple is busy these days. Thank you for your hard work, Master Yanqing.”

“You should be in charge of your own affairs.” Xue Xiuzhuo said, looking at Xiao Chiye, and said with a smile, “I heard that the governor has been going to Fengshan frequently in the past two days, but what’s the fun?”

Xiao Chiye also laughed and said, “The first snowfall on Fengshan Mountain is the best in the world. Recently, there have been a few deer. I am thinking about how many deer can come back to play. If you have time, can we go and see them together?”

Xue Xiuzhuo waved his hand gently and said: “I am a weak scholar, how can I hunt? Don’t ruin the governor’s interest.”

The two of them broke up at the gate of the palace. Xiao Chiye’s smile faded when he saw he was walking away.

Chenyang waited by the carriage. When Xiao Chiye arrived, he lifted the curtain for him and said, “Governor, master, he has already left for Qidu.”

Xiao Chiye nodded.

Chenyang hesitated for a moment, then continued: “The people watching at Dali Temple responded that Ji Lei was dead.”

Xiao Chiye said: “How did you die?”

Chen Yang raised his hand to gesture, and said in a deep voice: “I was cut into a human being who was neither a human nor a ghost. I couldn’t do it last night, but Xue Xiuzhuo insisted on letting him take his last breath and presented the confession to the emperor before he died.”

Xiao Chiye sat down silently.

Chen Yang said: “Ji Lei interrogated Shen Zechuan in the imperial prison five years ago, and asked Feng Quan to humiliate him in public with ‘donkey roasting’. Now he has retaliated with retaliation, and Ji Lei has become… This person’s character of vengeance can be seen. Governor, we also have a grudge against him, and it is too dangerous for him to stay by our side now.”

Xiao Chiye turned the bone finger on his thumb and did not reply.
