Chapter 975: The Magnificent Power of Han (Ninety-Nine)

In the midst of Qing Xin's slightly nervous and somewhat stammering narration, Gao Yuan finally figured out his intention to sacrifice the life of a charlatan who was born into a wealthy family by offering pills.

The Taoist school is very lonely in this era. His idea of ​​governing by doing nothing is not adopted at all. Master Qingxin is such a down-and-out guy. Fortunately, no one pays attention to the Taoist academic theory, but the people of this school But most of them are proficient in the art of Qihuang. Master Qingxin makes a living by treating people or refining some herbal medicines to treat diseases and save people.

Qingxin was an orphan. In a chance encounter, he was met by his master and accepted as a disciple. Qingxin followed this master for only five years, and his master passed away. All that was left to him were some Taoist books and books. Qingxin, who was usually a pill furnace refining medicine, once again lived a lonely life.

He barely learned anything about his master's medical skills. He could barely work as a farmer in the countryside, and he could treat some minor illnesses, but his income was naturally meager, but his pure heart was as high as the sky. Among the Taoist scriptures his master left him , there were also many strange and strange chats, but Qingxin found opportunities to make a fortune in these chats.

From then on, Taoist Master Qingxin no longer collected medicines or treated diseases. Instead, he danced with the mahogany sword, drew evil charms, traveled around the countryside, caught ghosts and exorcised them, and his income was indeed much richer than before. few.

This kind of thing that sets off fireworks when thrown was made by Qing Xin from some half-grained descriptions in the scriptures left by his master. Ever since he got this thing, he has reached a new level in pretending to be a ghost. , with a wave of his hand, the smoke rises and the fire is blazing. Not only can it deceive the ignorant peasants in the countryside, but also many gentlemen and wealthy people in the city are deceived.

With some savings, he naturally wanted to get rich. Qingxin began to practice elixirs according to some records in his master's scriptures. This time, the Han Dynasty was established and the King of Han ascended the throne. Hearing that the King of Han was born in the countryside, he was just a small country soldier in the past. He must not have much knowledge, maybe he can get a wealthy person by relying on this thing.

Unexpectedly, the King of Han did not believe in these things at all, and was chased all over the mountain by those guards. Although Qingxin had also practiced some kung fu, how could he escape in front of these wolves and tigers and numerous guards? , and finally became a prisoner.

Looking at the dejected liar, Gao Yuan threw the black pill in his hand with a smile, "I'm really not interested in your elixir, but I am very interested in your stuff."

"This thing has no use except to bluff people." Qingxin murmured, "The King of Han does not need to use this to deceive people."

Hearing Qingxin talking to himself, Gao Yuan was angry and funny. He put the black meatball on the table and tapped him gently with his finger, "Tell me honestly, nothing happened when you did this thing." Something happened or some accident?"

Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Qingxin's eyes straightened instantly, and then the face began to turn white, then blue, then white again. The whole person collapsed to the ground.

"What, did something really happen?" Gao Yuan asked.

He Lanyan on the side snorted, "Looking at his appearance, something must have happened, and it was not a trivial matter. It might have been a matter of human life. Otherwise, what would he be afraid of?"

"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Qingxin turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowing as if pounding garlic, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean it, and I don't know what happened. It exploded with a bang."

"Explosion?" Gao Yuan's pupils shrank slightly. "Then how come you are still alive?"

"Back to the King of Han, I have been making these things for some years. I have always had a fixed proportion and have never had any problems. Later, when I got older, I also accepted a few apprentices, and I asked them to prepare these things. , when it was too hot, I would let the disciples work in the alchemy room. I would go outside to enjoy the cool air, and with a bang, it exploded. One of the two disciples inside died, and the other became a burning man. , rushed out of the alchemy room, but he died within a few days. The villain was timid. If this happened, he would not dare to report it to the official, so he could only secretly bury them in a secluded place." He looked up. He glanced at the King of Han and said, "The King of Han has a sharp eye and knows the affairs of the world without going out. I never thought that such dirty things would be seen by you, my king. Please spare my life!"

"Two people died, but the master didn't ask you to settle the score?" Gao Yuan asked.

"The villain's two apprentices were also orphans and had no family, so the villain buried them secretly, and then left there far away for a while. It took more than a year before he went back and told the people there that the villain Both of my disciples have left the army and are now traveling around the world to eliminate violence and bring peace to the good." Qing Xin muttered.

"There are two lives!" He Lanyan clicked her tongue: "According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, debts must be repaid, and murder must be repaid with life!"

"The villain didn't kill anyone, it was an accident, an accident." Qingxin was shocked and defended herself repeatedly.

"Okay, whether it was an accident or intentional, I can hold you accountable or let you go." Gao Yuan knocked on the table and said with a half-smile.

Qingxin stared at Gao Yuan with wide eyes for a long time, and suddenly she felt blessed and said loudly: "Your Majesty is magnanimous, and I am willing to do anything for your Majesty, even if I die."

"You will not give up even if you die?" Gao Yuan chuckled, "Does this sentence come from the sincerity?"

"Sincerity, of course it is sincerity!" Qingxin nodded repeatedly, "If you have even half a word of humility, I will be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky, and I will die badly."

He Weiyuan laughed loudly on the side, "If there is even half a lie, you don't need to work for God. I will cut it with one knife and it will be clean and neat, allowing you to come and go naked without any worries."

Seeing He Weiyuan's ferocious smile, Qingxin couldn't help but shudder.

"I will place you in a suitable place. Your mission is to study this thing for me!" Gao Yuan clicked on the black meatballs on the table.

"Your Majesty, this thing is of no use except to deceive people." Qingxin murmured.

"What I want is not this lie, but the one that killed someone that time you blew up." Gao Yuan looked at the other party with a smile: "Only things with that kind of power are useful to me."

Qingxin's little face turned pale, and she sat down on the ground with a porridge. There was a look of despair on her face.

"This thing of yours is made from saltpetre, charcoal, and sulfur, right?" Gao Yuan ignored Qing Xin, who was ashen-faced, and asked himself.

"Yes, yes, it turns out that the king knows it." Qingxin said with a trembling voice.

"Very good, then let me tell you, if you want to increase the threat of this thing, the first thing is to prepare the proportion of these things. If the proportion is appropriate, you can create something that can kill your apprentice." Gao Yuan said with a smile. : "I really don't know what the specific ratio is. It depends on your future work."

"Little man, I must work hard to prepare what the king needs." Qingxin said with a trembling voice.

"You don't have to worry about following in the footsteps of your apprentice. Since I know these things, I naturally also know some methods to prevent this thing from exploding suddenly. The place I have equipped you with is far from comparable to your previous place. I can't bear to have you killed in a bomb like this!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration!" Qingxin said with tears of gratitude.

"Don't you want a better background?" Gao Yuan chuckled and said, "If you get what I need, it's not impossible to make you a Marquis."

As soon as Gao Yuan said these words, not only Qing was dumbfounded, but He Weiyuan and He Lanyan on the side were also shocked. What secret was hidden in this little black ball, which was worthy of Gao Yuan's high price?

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. As soon as Gao Yuan said these words, Qingxin's originally pale face turned blood red in an instant, and he suddenly became excited: "Your Majesty, I don't know how powerful you need to be?"

"How big is it?" Gao Yuan laughed, and his mind couldn't help but think of the wars in his previous life. Gunpowder was Pandora's box. As soon as he was born, he would gradually demonstrate his devilish power and completely change the world. "I will do whatever you can do. Of course, the more powerful the better."

"Young man can definitely do it!" Qingxin said loudly.

"Okay, do you still have apprentices now?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Yes, yes, I have collected a few more now. I left them outside the mountain when I came, and the pills that were originally intended to be presented to the king were also left with him." Qingxin said cautiously.

"Throw your elixir into the trash!" Gao Yuan raised his head and laughed, "Research this thing for me with all your heart. I, Gao Yuan, always speak one word. As long as you satisfy me, then I will I will make you the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."

Qingfeng has thrown away the threat of death, and the temptation of Wanhu Hou is really in front of him, and all he has to do is to improve what he is used to.

Seeing this guy who wanted his official position over his life leave happily, He Lanyan looked at Gao Yuan strangely: "Brother Gao, are you telling him a joke?"

"Why are you telling a joke?" Gao Yuan looked at He Lanyan seriously, "If he can really make explosives that are powerful enough, what does it mean if I ban him for ten thousand households?"

"Is this thing called dynamite?" He Lanyan asked, "Is it very powerful?"

"Of course." Gao Yuan nodded and said: "As long as there are enough of these things, a city can collapse into the sky. The so-called changing the world is not a joke."

"So powerful?" He Lanyan's face changed color.

"That's how powerful it is." Gao Yuan reached out and picked up the black meatballs on the table, walked to the window, threw the black meatballs out with his hands, and hit the open space outside. With a roar, fireworks suddenly burst out. "If this pure heart can really do it. Get what I need, then the war in this world will be completely changed. Cold weapons such as swords and guns will slowly be eliminated because of his appearance. The city is no longer impregnable, and human lives depend on it. You will be like ants before you."

While talking to He Lanyan, what Gao Yuan was thinking of was that in his original era, a once glorious dynasty in its last days used thousands of cavalry to face the charge of machine gun positions on the opposite side. , under the rain of bullets, the once invincible cavalry fell one by one in the cold rain and cold wind. They paid thousands of prices, but no one or one cavalry could rush to the enemy's position. ( To be continued)
