Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 382 Divine Fire Flying Crow
When the sun was high in the sky, Master Xiao Jiu brought his son into Wanshou Temple.

At this time, two guests had been waiting in front of his "workshop" for a long time.

When Xiao Qianyue saw them, she apologized repeatedly, quickly let them into the room, and asked her son to make tea.

Xiao Qianyue asked the two one by one what they wanted to make, and wrote down the key requirements one by one.

After receiving the deposit, Xiao Qianyue politely saw the two guests out.

Standing at the door, looking at the two guests leaving, Xiao Qianyue patted his waist, smiled and was about to go back to the room.

The reason why he came to Wanshou Temple so late today was because he finally took Chunmei, the maid who served his concubine Huang, into his room last night.

This little girl, who is clearly in her early teens, had probably been influenced by the intimacy between him and Huang, and had actually learned all those romantic traits from her.

Teacher Xiao couldn't control his emotions for the moment and couldn't help asking for it twice more, resulting in him getting up late today.

However, although this kind of tiredness is tiring, he enjoys it.

"Master Xiao..."

Suddenly someone shouted from behind, it seems that business is really good today.

Xiao Qianyue, who was in a good mood, turned around with a smile, and when he saw who was coming, his face suddenly dropped.

The man was wearing a bamboo hat, which made his eyebrows look very low, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.

Xiao Qianyue frowned and asked, "What do you want?"

The man in the bamboo hat smiled slightly and said, "Master Xiao, won't you invite me in to talk?"

Xiao Qianyue hesitated for a moment before she clasped her hands and said, "Please."

The two of them entered the room, and the man sat down without waiting for Xiao Qianyue to give up his seat.

Xiao Qianyue asked: "What old things do you want to make?"

The man got straight to the point and said, "I don't make old things. I came to see Master Xiao Jiu to ask you to make a tube of 'Divine Fire Flying Crow'."

Xiao Qianyue's expression suddenly changed after hearing this, and he said in a deep voice: "'Divine Fire Flying Crow, what is that? I have never heard of it before."

The man smiled and said, "Making old things is just a way for Master Xiao to make a living.

Exquisitely crafted things, especially mechanical weapons, are what Master Xiao loves. Am I right?
'Divine Fire Flying Crow' was a firearm once developed by the Military Equipment Bureau of the Song Dynasty. However, it was eventually abandoned because its disadvantages outweighed its benefits.

However, it is a kind of firearm that is refreshing after all, isn't it, Master Xiao?"

Xiao Qianyue said with a straight face: "Xiao doesn't know how to make it!"

The man smiled slightly and said, "Then, can Master Xiao Jiu make a pulley made of twisted wire, thirty feet long, and able to bear hundreds of pounds of weight?"

When Xiao Qianyue heard this, her face changed drastically. She took two steps back in shock and said in a lost voice, "Who... who are you?"

This "man in the bamboo hat" is one of the first batch of thirteen disciples recruited and trained by the "Youqiu Division".

Today, he was ordered by Yang Yuan to ask Xiao Qianyue to order the "Divine Fire Flying Crow".

Yang Yuan once asked Ya Ge to find Xiao Qianyue and customize an object like a fishing pulley for him.

However, his pulley was not for fishing, but for hanging people.

Yang Yuan set a fire in "Zhiweitang" and almost killed all the people in the National Information Institute. After that, he used this pulley to escape from the raging fire, passed the officers and soldiers of the Imperial City Division downstairs, and escaped successfully.

Afterwards, when the coroner investigated the scene, he naturally discovered this ingeniously made "pulley".

When the news spread, Xiao Qianyue realized that the pulley customized by the black-faced boy Li was actually used here.

That’s hundreds of lives!

During that period, Master Xiao was worried all day long, fearing that he would be the one to be investigated.

Until now, that nightmare has finally become a thing of the past, but I didn't expect it to be brought up again today.

The man in the bamboo hat raised a finger and said, "Only one tube of 'Flying Crow of Divine Fire' can be made.

Master Xiao, as long as you make this for me, no one will ever know that the pulley found in the ruins of Zhiwei Hall was made by you, Master Xiao."

How could Master Xiao Jiu agree so readily? The last time he built a pulley, more than a hundred people died as a result, all of them were civil servants and officials of the National Information Institute.

However, the pulley is not a weapon after all.

This time, they have openly asked him to customize a weapon, and it’s a scary thing like the “Divine Fire Flying Crow”.

Xiao Qianyue said with a bitter face: "The pulley you mentioned can be made as long as you know the principle of the fishing rod pulley.

But what is this 'Divine Fire Flying Crow'? Xiao really has no idea how to create it."

The "Man in the Bamboo Hat" smiled and said, "Master Xiao Jiu forgot that you had created this 'Flying Crow of Divine Fire'."

Xiao Qianyue was secretly shocked when she heard this.

He had indeed made it, and the "Divine Fire Flying Crow" he had completed was still kept in his private storage, and he would sometimes take it out to play with it.

However, for safety reasons, and also because gunpowder would become damp if left for a long time, the gunpowder in his "Divine Fire Flying Crow" had been removed.

But how could this person be so sure that he had created the "Divine Fire Flying Crow"?

This matter can only be...only...

Xiao Qianyue suddenly realized something and gnashed her teeth and said, "Qu Jianlei! That old man told you, right?"

"I don't know any Qu Jianlei."

The "Man in the Bamboo Hat" said with a smile: "I only want a 'Flying Crow of Divine Fire'."

The "Man in the Bamboo Hat" was able to conclude that Xiao Qianyue had made the "Flying Crow of Divine Fire", which was indeed what Mr. Qu said, but not now. At the beginning, Father Song realized that Yang Yuan pretended to go to the Kingdom of Jin, and secretly began to deal with the National Trust Agency to avenge his elder brother.

Old Man Song decided to ask a few old friends to lend him a hand.

At that time, Mr. Qu asked Xiao Qianyue to help him make a bow and a sword.

When Xiao Qianyue saw Qu Jianlei coming, he enthusiastically asked Qu Jianlei to help him get a "Ma Huang Crossbow" that had just been developed by the Song Dynasty. He wanted to study it, but was flatly rejected by Qu Jianlei.

After Yang Yuan solved the problem of the National Intelligence Agency, with the help of the Goose King Zhao Yu, he suddenly became a secret spy sent to the Jin Kingdom by the Machine Speed ​​Office of the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty.

Now that he has successfully returned and is working in the express room, he has returned to "Song Family Flavor House".

Only then did he realize how much Old Man Song and the other four veteran soldiers had done for him in secret.

When the two were chatting, Qu Jianlei mentioned the origin of the weapon, saying that he had asked his good friend Xiao Qianyue to make it.

At that time, Qu Jianlei mentioned casually that after the "Divine Fire Flying Crow" was abolished in the army, he was entrusted by Xiao Qianyue to take a used "Divine Fire Flying Crow" for him.

And Xiao Qianyue used this used waste to deduce the operating principle of the "Divine Fire Flying Crow", and then made one according to the same principle. He is truly an amazing craftsman, especially good at making weapons.

Qu Jianlei just mentioned it casually at the time. Anyway, after jointly dealing with Guoxin Institute, he agreed to join "Youqiusi". Yang Yuan was someone he could absolutely trust.

Although Yang Yuan heard it at the time, he didn't take it seriously.

It was not until two nights ago that he heard Hanane and Xiaonai tell him about the Japanese assassination plan.

Yang Yuan thought about it over and over again. Unable to confirm too many details of the action, he decided to take the initiative to create opportunities and seize the initiative.

So he thought of making a "Divine Fire Flying Crow".

The "Divine Fire Flying Crow" was obviously an important tool in Qin Hui's plan and should have played a crucial role.

Yang Yuan doesn’t know the other party’s full plan now. If he also has a tube of “Divine Fire Flying Crow”, he can do something in the other party’s name at the critical moment.

Between threats and money, Xiao Qianyue finally chose money reluctantly.

He accepted the four gold bars from the "Man in the Bamboo Hat" and also took on the task of making the "Divine Fire Flying Crow".

……

Today, the chief and deputy envoys of the Japanese delegation took separate actions.

The chief envoy, Monk Jinghai, went to Xiangji Temple, accompanied by the escort envoy Du Rangmei.

Deputy Envoy Yoshida Masaharu went to visit the Minister of Rites, accompanied by Deputy Envoy Yu Jiguang.

Yang Yuan and Han Qianchen each led half of the miscellaneous soldiers and followed the two Japanese envoys.

In front of Yang Yuan, Han Qianchen threw a turtle shell to the ground.

No one knew what he saw from it, but after picking up the turtle shell, he told Yang Yuan that he wanted to accompany the Japanese deputy envoy to the Ministry of Rites.

Yang Yuan was speechless. Under normal circumstances, as the deputy captain of the Qingyou Team, shouldn't you accompany the Japanese deputy envoy? What are you doing here?

Monk Jinghai arrived at Xiangji Temple and had a conversation with the abbot of the temple, Master Yuanhui, and the two of them got along very well.

Monk Jinghai immediately decided to stay overnight at Xiangji Temple and discuss Buddhism with Master Yuanhui by candlelight.

The main Buddha of Xiangji Temple is Kinnara Bodhisattva, who is the god of music and kitchen.

Therefore, most of the major donors of Xiangji Temple are celebrities in the entertainment industry or tycoons in the catering industry.

In this case, it is unknown whether Monk Jinghai and Master Yuanhui were discussing Buddhism or how the two sides could cooperate sincerely in the future to avoid taxes "reasonably and legally" in the name of "giving losses to each other".

After Monk Jinghai moved in, he generously expressed his desire to rebuild the golden bodies for the Heavenly King Hall, Kinnara Bodhisattva Hall, and Main Hall of Xiangji Temple.

To show his piety, he will preside over the event personally.

As Yang Yuan was thinking about the news he had just received, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the golden statue of "The Great Sage Kinnara Bodhisattva" in front of him.

Monk Jinghai wanted to reshape the golden bodies of the Buddha statues in the three main halls of Xiangji Temple, saying that he would personally preside over the project, but the person who actually carried out the construction was the senior ninja Yagyu Shijutake who incarnated as the judge of the delegation.

The Japanese have three tubes of "Divine Fire Flying Crow" in their hands, and now they want to reshape the golden bodies of the Buddha statues in the three main halls.

Could it be that this "Divine Fire Flying Crow" is to be placed inside the Buddha statue?
Should it be installed on the Buddha statue or on the lotus pedestal below?
Imagine that, amid the sound of wooden fish, the official entered the temple to burn incense, clasped his hands together in front of the Buddha, and prayed silently.

Suddenly, rockets burst out one after another, running around the hall like flying monkeys...

Even if the direction of the rocket cannot be controlled, once it is fired, it is all up to fate. It is not too much for Emperor Zhao, who is the first to bear the brunt of the arrows, to be hit by twenty or thirty arrows, right?

Yang Yuan felt that he seemed to have found the other party's use of the Divine Fire Flying Crow.

To confirm this, we just need to wait until the reconstruction of the golden body project led by Yagyu Shishitake is completed, and then he will take the opportunity to check it out, and there should be results.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan clasped his hands together, bowed to the "Great Sage Kinnara Bodhisattva", and turned to leave the main hall.

Monk Jinghai wanted to stay in Xiangji Temple to debate, but the temple did not have enough meditation rooms for his followers and guards, so the Qingyou Team was sent to stay temporarily at the nearby Xiangji Temple Pier.

Yang Yuan led his men to the dock and settled down in several temporarily requisitioned houses.

At this time, Hanayin and Xiaonai, who were dressed as Han girls, came up from the canal.

A light boat and two beautiful figures.

The two women were holding small bamboo umbrellas, one in white and the other in blue, and standing at the bow with their dresses fluttering in the wind.

The man had white teeth and bright eyes, and his temperament was like that of an immortal. For a moment, he attracted countless gazes.

PS: I’m too tired, I’ll just code the next one during the day.
