228, Chapter 228 (1/2)

Qin Fang walked over, his eyebrows and eyes also showed a smile: "Why are you here? You've been here all the way?"

Du Xingran laughed: "It's very short, only three days away. The emperor asked me to come, and I also fought for it. By the way, Brother Qin, I am no longer a city guard, but I have a rank in front of the emperor. I am now a sixth-rank imperial guard."

Qin Fang was very happy for Du Xingran. You know, no matter what rank an official is, the rank in front of the emperor is different. Just like whether an official has real power or not, even if the rank is low, but has real power, it is different.

Qin Fang patted Du Xingran's shoulder: "In that case, we should celebrate today."

Du Xingran said: "Thank you, Brother Qin. By the way, Brother Qin, let me introduce you, this is our captain, the fifth-rank Imperial Guards, General Yunian."

The man Du Xingran introduced seemed to be about 30 years old, with a fierce look in his eyes and a very serious expression.

Yu Nian said: "General Qin, I have heard of your name for a long time." He looks fierce, not fierce in person, but because of this face, many people are afraid of him. When he was young, he spent a lot of effort to get married. Now he has a child, but the children at home are also afraid of him. Yu Nian is a little worried.

Qin Fang said, "General Yu, please come in."

There were 100 imperial guards accompanying him this time. Only Du Xingran, Yu Nian and the five captains of the imperial guards brought by Yu Nian entered the tent with Qin Fang. There were 20 in each team.

After entering the tent, Yu Nian said directly, "General Qin, I have a mission to attend to. I will go straight to you. When are you going to give us the medicine? We will set off as soon as possible and send it to Yongzhou."

Qin Fang said, "It will take another five days."

Yu Nian frowned and said, "Five days? Yongzhou is in urgent need of medicine, why do we need five days? Didn't His Majesty send a letter in advance?"

Qin Fang said, "General Yu, you don't know that medicine can't be made in advance. If it is made in advance, it will be damp and affect its power, so it is made on the spot. Qin started making it after receiving His Majesty's letter, but the manpower for making medicine is limited. It's still too late to make the amount that Your Majesty wants, so it will take another five days. "

Yu Nian didn't know about the Huo Yao either. Qin Fang said so, so he naturally wouldn't doubt it, but: "Can't we add more people to make it? Otherwise, what if we miss the time? Yongzhou is in a hurry."

Qin Fang said: "Your Majesty knows that Huo Yao must be made on the spot, and I came from Yongzhou. With the current limited military strength, it is no match for our army, so General Yu doesn't have to worry. Those who make Huo Yao are all senior officials in the Ministry of Industry. We can't add more people, otherwise the formula of Huo Yao will be leaked, and Qin can't bear the responsibility. "

Qin Fang said so, so Yu Nian will not be. Moreover, even if they missed it, it was not their responsibility, but Qin Fang's responsibility.

The 100 imperial guards brought by Yu Nian were settled in the barracks. Yu Nian didn't want to separate from the imperial guards, so he lived in the barracks. And Du Xingran was taken back to the general's mansion by Qin Fang.

In the general's mansion, Yang Haiyan was playing with her children. She was surprised to see Qin Fang and Du Xingran entering the courtyard: "Second brother Du."

Du Xingran was also happy to see Yang Haiyan: "Sister, I..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the little carrot beside Yang Haiyan: "Brother..." A word popped out of Qin Linyang's mouth.

Qin Linyang can call mother, father, and brother. When he saw Yang Haiyan calling Du Xingran "Second brother Du", he followed suit. This call made everyone laugh.

Du Xingran guessed who he was: "This is my nephew, he's so big."

Qin Linyang raised a dog, and Yang Haiyan never stopped feeding him milk powder, so he grew taller than his peers.

Yang Haiyan said, "It's just a little silly. Brother Du, please come in. Why are you here?"

Du Xingran: "I was ordered to deliver the medicine to Yongzhou."

Little Qin Linyang watched his mother and father take his brother in. He followed behind with his legs swinging. There was a walker and his mother-in-law watching him. He followed happily, and Yang Haiyan was not worried about him.

Military camp

Two imperial guards seemed to be visiting the military camp, but they were actually talking secretly.

"The time for the delivery of the medicine is different from what we expected. Is there any problem over there?" It doesn't matter if it's one or two days off, but if it's five or six days off, it will take a while.

"What can we do? Who knows if the time of the medicine will be different? I thought His Majesty asked us to come and there was ready-made medicine. We can only wait."

"That's the only way. It's too late to send a message now. In fact, His Majesty actually gave the medicine to Qin Fang, a farmer, to take care of it. He really trusts him."

"Who knows? It has nothing to do with us. We just need to ensure the medicine..."

"If this is successful, our brothers will retire. Who will be the Imperial Guards then?"

"That's not it." Ordinary guards like them have no money and no power, and they are the hardest.

Qin Fang wanted five days, that is five days. After five days, Qin Fang handed the medicine to the Imperial Guards: "General Yu, this is the emperor's medicine. Please count it. There are two hundred packages in total."

Of course, Yu Nian ordered it. The quantity of two hundred packets was no problem, but they didn't know what the fire medicine was. They didn't know whether it was real or fake, and they had no way to verify it. Yu Nian collected the medicine and asked the imperial guards to pack the fire medicine. Because it could not be exposed to the rain, they packed it very carefully: "Thank you, General Qin, for your hospitality. But... please forgive me for being such a villain, General Qin." "Xin Xin, in order to confirm that the fire medicine came from General Qin's side, will General Qin send someone to accompany us?" In this way, if there is a problem with the fire medicine, it has nothing to do with them.

Qin Fang originally had this intention, but now Yu Nian proposed it, but he couldn't ask for it. He said readily: "No problem, I will ask Captain Yang to bring 100 soldiers to accompany you. Moreover, Captain Yang is Those who came with me from Yongzhou are even more familiar with this road.”

Yu Nian: "That's too much. Thank you again, General Qin."

Qin Fang: "General Yu's words are serious."

After loading the firewood, Yu Nian led the Royal Forest Army and Colonel Yang led the soldiers and set off together. Du Xingran waved his hand towards Qin Fang: "Brother Qin, I'm leaving. Let's have a drink together again if we have the chance."

Qin Fang: "Take care along the way."

After Yu Nian and others left, Qin Fang turned around and went to the Beast Mountain Taoist Temple.

The Beast Mountain Taoist Temple was deserted. Except for the imprisoned official from the Ministry of Works, there was only one cook, the mother-in-law, who stayed to take care of the officials from the Ministry of Works.

But today, there are unexpected visitors.

"Are they all gone?" Seeing Qin Fang coming, the guest asked.

"Well, it's a good thing that you arrived yesterday, otherwise we would have had to delay." Qin Fang looked at him, and the person who came was none other than Han Zhen.

It took Tao Shan seven horses to get to the border from Yunxiang County, and it took Han Zhen five horses to get there, because the horses of the two were different. Qin Fang actually calculated it. He had walked this distance, so he could calculate the number of steps needed by Tao Shan to get to the border. And Qin Fang's horse was the same as Wu Shuai, so he could also calculate the number of steps Han Zhen needed to get here. number. Of course, if there is a gap, Qin Fang can also delay it.

Han Zhen: "Is this fire medicine really that powerful?"

Qin Fang said: "I will take you to see it." Han Zhen was transformed into a soldier and followed Qin Fang to the Beast Mountain, so no one knew his identity. In the eyes of others, he was just an ordinary soldier.

Qin Fang took out a pack of pyrotechnics from the Beast Mountain Taoist Temple: "This is a small pyrotechnic. For the convenience of carrying, the pyrotechnics developed recently are somewhat different. Of course, the power is also different. Small pyrotechnics It’s convenient for you to rush to the front line and throw large explosives not far away.”

Next, the two of them went to an open place. There were many traces of pyrotechnics. When they were studying pyrotechnics, they were all tested here. There are sandbags all around, very high and lots of them, to prevent the mountain from blowing up when the pyrotechnics explode.

Qin Fang fixed the small pyrotechnic bag on the arrow ‌‌, then lit it and drew the bow.

Bang...the arrow flew into the sandbag, and then the pyrotechnic exploded. Han Zhen couldn't help but take a step forward. He was a little excited: "This... this..."

Qin Fang said proudly: "How is it?"

Han Zhen swallowed, and his throat was a little dry from the excitement: "This thing, it's really something. With this small bag, there is absolutely no problem in blowing up ten people. Brother, this thing of yours is really awesome. Now, with this thing here, why should I worry about other people coming to invade the border? "

Qin Fang said: "Although this is the case, the ore that can do this is very good."

Han Zhen: "So the emperor plans to defeat the tiger in this battle with the barbarians? We know the ore, but others don't, so the deterrent effect is definitely ‌."

Qin Fang: "We can't guess what the emperor is thinking."

Han Zhen: "That's right. They will be here in two days at most. We will set off at that time and we can make it in time."

Qin Fang: "Yeah." According to Qin Fang's original plan, Han Zhen and the others followed the brigade. But after the two met and discussed yesterday, they changed their minds. Han Zhen formed a team of his own and left with the gunpowder. And the Royal Forest Army and the others...

Two days later, Tao Shan and others arrived.

There are only five people on Han Zhen's side, so there are not enough people to transport medicine. So Qin Fang sent fifty cavalry to accompany him, which was not much.

Before this, the explosives had been moved to the Huangliang Factory and packed into boxes. Therefore, when the medicine comes out of the Imperial Grain Factory, in the eyes of others, it is potato flour and sweet potato flour.

Nowadays, potato flour and sweet potato flour are available all over the country, and no one will snatch them.

Therefore, Han Zhen and the others will be very safe along the way.

Qin Fang watched Han Zhen leave with fifty cavalry, and was also worried, hoping that they would reach Yongzhou safely. It was completely safe until we arrived in Yongzhou.

Because he was worried about the fire medicine, Qin Fang didn't sleep very well. Seeing this, Yang Haiyan was very reluctant. She bought some soothing incense from the platform and gave Qin Fang a massage.

The child Qin Linyang saw his father lying on the couch, wearing only a pair of underwear, and his mother sitting on the side pressing his father's buttocks, so he walked to his father's side, stretched out his little fleshy hand, and touched his father's hand. He pressed and pressed while looking at his mother.

Yang Haiyan couldn't help but said: "Aren't your hands sore?"

The child Qin Linyang didn't understand either. He pressed it once and then stopped pressing it. He went aside to play with a cloth ball and threw it at his father. But he was weak and couldn't throw his father's body at all.

Qin Fang glanced at him, and he chuckled, having a great time playing alone.

Qin Fang: "Is this idiot laughing?"

Yang Haiyan: "We don't understand the happiness of a child. Just rest and don't worry about him."

Qin Fang hummed, closed his eyes and rested. He had no choice but to press his wife's hand on his. Although the force was light, it was really comfortable and made him relax unconsciously. Yang Haiyan used to run a weight loss camp herself, so she had some knowledge of the acupuncture points on the human body. She massaged the acupuncture points.

The general's mansion returned to its former tranquility, but the team delivering firewood was anything but peaceful.

Yu Nian brought a hundred men to deliver the firewood, plus the hundred soldiers led by Colonel Yang. Logically speaking, there were a total of two hundred men, and it was quite easy to transport ten boxes of firewood.

But this may seem easy, but it is not. Because every box of pyrotechnics is heavier than they imagined. When we first left Yunxiang County, everyone was in high spirits and didn't feel that the fire medicine was heavy. Now that we had traveled five or six miles, we couldn't keep up with the food, and the weight of the fire medicine was reflected.

During the break, Yu Nian walked up to Captain Yang and said, "Captain Yang, how long does it take to get to Yongzhou Military Camp?"

Lieutenant Yang calculated: "We have already traveled six miles. At our current speed, it will probably take another six miles."

Six ‌, still ‌.

He hadn't seen pyrotechnics in more than 10 years, so he was still a little curious about this weapon. No, while he was taking a break, he asked curiously: "Have Captain Yang seen pyrotechnics?"

Colonel Yang said: "Of course I have seen it before. The power of pyrotechnics is very great, just like this mountain. As long as the amount of pyrotechnics is enough, the mountain can be flattened in the blink of an eye."

Yu Nian was very surprised: "So powerful?"

Captain Yang said: "That's not all. You have to see this for yourself. I understand that you have never seen this scene and you can't imagine it."

When Yu Nian thought about it, that was true.

After resting for a while, everyone continued on their way.

Yu Nian and others were wearing the clothes of the Royal Guards, and the soldiers led by Captain Yang were still wearing the clothes of the military camp, so they looked like officers and soldiers at first glance. Therefore, they were naturally not afraid of robbers, so they walked very boldly along the way.

only……

"There is a roadblock ahead." Du Xingran said, "It's such a big day, how come there are two big trees in the middle of the road?"

This situation looked wrong at first sight, so Yu Nian said loudly: "Everyone, pay attention." Damn it, who dares to be so bold to take advantage of them? Yu Nian sent someone to remove the tree and said to Colonel Yang, "Colonel Yang, it seems that this situation is not simple."

Lieutenant Yang remembered the previous general's instructions and said, "Shall I take some people to check the area?"

Yu Nian said: "Okay, let's wait where we are."
