Chang'an Fu

"Zihuan, look at the iron armor I made!"

On this day, Li Yu was loosening the soil for the peach trees outside the courtyard, when Gu Huai came out excitedly holding the iron armor he made

Ever since Bai and Yang brought the gunpowder last time, Gu Huai has become a Zen master who practiced in seclusion again. He was shut up in that room all day long to study, and today he was considered a success in seclusion. Li Yu hadn’t seen him for a while, and he felt very sad when he looked at him today. Huanxi, where is the iron armor?

At this moment, he just wanted to hold the person in front of him tightly in his arms.

But Gu Huai is very focused when he is working. Except for work-related things, he is not in his consideration.

Naturally, she rejected Li Yu's untimely show of love at this time

Li Yu is naturally aware of Gu Huai's temperament, so he cast his gaze on the huge iron armor in his hand very wisely.

"This must be very heavy! Are you going to hold it in your hand all the time?"

"I want to try it on!"

Li Yu was shocked when he heard Gu Huai's words, and quickly said, "No! Absolutely not!"

It's not that he doesn't believe in Gu Huai's craftsmanship, it's that putting gunpowder on his body he thinks this move is too dangerous, he won't allow Gu Huai to do anything that is even a little bit dangerous

"Well! Let's make a scarecrow and put iron armor on him! Let him try it for us!"

"Okay!" Seeing Li Yu's uncompromising expression, Gu Huai stopped being tough with him, and after thinking about it, he agreed, "But this scarecrow has to be stronger, after all, this armor The weight is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

"Don't worry, I have a solution for this!"

Straw is easy to find, not to mention that straw is everywhere in the current season, and every household needs to use straw to light the fire before plugging in firewood, so Li Yu and his family have a lot of straw in the kitchen.

So at this time, the straw, which is usually not very useful, came in handy. I saw that Li Yu stuffed several large stones into the scarecrow's upper body during the weaving process.

Not long after, a big, lifelike scarecrow appeared in front of Gu Huai. This scarecrow was much larger than the scarecrows that scare wild geese in the fields. He was not at all curious about Li Yu's ability to cook and weave scarecrows. I must have learned it at that time, but now thinking about it, I feel more distressed

But Li Yu didn't seem to notice the small emotions in Gu Huai's heart at all. He carried the scarecrow in one hand and took Gu Huai's hand in the other, and came to the pond where the fish was fried last time.

It's not that Li Yu prefers this place, it's because there are overgrown grasses and trees around this yard. Although the scenery is not beautiful, it's not bad. It's a waste of money to be blown bald by this gunpowder for nothing, but this pond is different, let's not say it is this pond. This place is the only one that can be regarded as empty. After being bombed by Bai and Yang last time, Li Yu felt that there was already one time anyway, so it would be okay to do it again.

Everything was ready, Li Yu put on the iron armor on the scarecrow, fixed it, and looked at Gu Huai beside him

"Are you ready? I ordered it!"

After Gu Huai nodded in agreement, Li Yu took out the torch in his hand, and lit the fire wire next to the iron armor, and saw that the fire wire was burning rapidly at the moment it was burning, followed by a loud noise.

The gunpowder was shot out, but along with the gunpowder, there was the scarecrow in iron armor.

It's just that the gunpowder shell is fired forward, and the scarecrow is thrown backward

Fortunately, Li Yu quickly pulled Gu Huai who was standing nearby. Although he could dodge it himself with Gu Huai's skill, he didn't think much about it at the time, and the pulling action was completely a natural reaction.

When Gu Huai fell into Li Yu's arms, his eyes were still looking at the scarecrow that was thrown out

"Are you okay?" Li Yu asked with concern

"It's okay!" Then he struggled from Li Yu's arms, "Let's go see that scarecrow!"

Gu Huai went to the scarecrow and checked it. It may be because of the protection of the iron armor that there was no damage on its body, but the straw on its head was scattered because it was not protected.

Li Yu didn't doubt the power of the gunpowder bullet at all, just looking at what happened before him, he said worriedly

"It seems that there are not many people who can withstand him with this iron armor!"

The fact that the scarecrow was not blown up does mean that the gunpowder will not leak out to the person wearing him, so as to injure the person wearing him, but it does not mean that the power of the gunpowder projectile will not hurt people

Judging from this situation, even if the gunpowder does not blow up people, the remaining force will still hurt people's internal organs

So he was even more worried

But he didn't say anything, but reached out and took off the scarecrow's iron armor and hugged it in his arms.

"Let's go home first! Figure out how to optimize it!"

"Do you think it's because the scarecrow is not enough?" Gu Huai asked on the way home

In fact, it goes without saying that this is impossible. The combined weight of the stones Li Yu found is already the weight of a grown man.

Before Li Yu could answer, Gu Huai continued to say, "Forget it, let's go back and study it!"

"Eat grilled fish?" Li Yu suddenly asked

"What? Didn't you finish the fried fish last time?"

Most of the fish that was fried with gunpowder last time were taken away by Bai and Yang. Although Gu Huai felt that he hadn't eaten a few fish meals, it should be gone.

"If we can't eat at home, we can go to other places to eat!" Li Yu freed up a hand to hold Gu Huai, and walked towards the city

When they came to Bai and Yang's house, Bai and Yang were worrying about the bucket of unfinished fish. Last time, Li Yu taught him a way to ensure that the fish would not stink after a long time.

That is to marinate these fish with salt, and then wash it when you want to eat it next time, but now he doesn’t want to eat fish anymore. He has been eating fish for the past few days, and now he feels that he is bleeding. Sweat smells like salted fish

The moment he saw Li Yu coming, his eyes moved away from the barrel of fish

"It seems that you haven't finished your fish yet?" Li Yu saw the bucket of fish in front of him as soon as he entered the door.

"I really can't eat it, this thing, no matter how good it is, it will be boring if you keep eating it!" Hearing Li Yu mentioning the fish, he felt that he seemed to smell the unpleasant fishy smell again

"That's right! You can borrow some fish from me!"

"Don't talk about borrowing, you have to take all this barrel!" Hearing Li Yu's words, Bai and Yang seemed to see a savior, wishing that he would rescue him from this ocean of fish right now.

"I don't want that much! I make grilled fish, just two or three!" He said, picking out the fish he likes from the fish bucket, holding it in his hand and looking at it repeatedly, "Do you want to go together?"

Bai and Yang seemed to have heard something extraordinary, "You actually know how to cook?"

"What's so unusual about this, besides, it's not a meal, it's just a fire!" Li Yu said disapprovingly

"Of course I want to eat it!" Bai and Yang replied without thinking, as if they had forgotten that he was still disgusted by this pile of fish just a second ago

"It's okay to eat, but you have to help me with something!" Li Yu took the iron armor from Gu Huai's hand and threw it to Bai and Yang.

Seeing that Bai and Yang accurately caught the pile of heavy iron armor, Li Yu smiled calmly.

But Bai and Yang didn't seem to notice this, they just pretended to wail and said, "I knew it wasn't that easy for you to come to me! Why? Have you tried this?"

"I tried it, but the gunpowder is too powerful. I didn't try it on my body. I just put it on a scarecrow that weighs about the same as a human, and then" Li Yu paused

"The scarecrow was blown away," Gu Huai continued.

Bai and Yang looked at the pile of iron armor and nodded, "Then I'll show it to Zhao Fei and Zhao Guang!"

Zhao Fei and Zhao Guang are the two people who built black iron for Li Yu in their house

"What? They still know gunpowder?" Li Yu asked

"Walking in the rivers and lakes, you need to know a little bit about everything!" Bai and Yang said as they walked in, "Get ready! I'm going to eat soon!"

In the palace, a seriously injured line guard fell on the hall

Following the news he brought, Emperor Xianning was furious

"Lu Jianxun! What a good adjutant!" He clenched his fists

An Donghai, who was beside him, was in a cold sweat watching this scene, and waved his hand to Xia Wenshu who came to serve tea, signaling him to back down. Now that the emperor is angry, whoever goes up will be easily scolded

Li Yu was grilling fish in the White Mansion. He didn't know that the whirlwind had gone to the mansion several times at this time, so he missed some news because of this.

"It smells so good!" Bai and Yang heard his voice before they came out.

Seeing him coming, Gu Huai hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

"There is no way for Xuan Tie, but we can start by reducing the power of gunpowder!"

"But isn't reducing the power of gunpowder relatively reducing the attack power against the enemy?" Gu Huai asked worriedly

"This is definitely true, but no matter how small the power of gunpowder is, it is still gunpowder, enough to kill people!"

"But…"

"The grilled fish is ready! Try it!"

Before Gu Huai could continue, Li Yu handed the grilled fish to Gu Huai, Bai and Yang, and then grilled his own

"Wow! Your craftsmanship is absolutely amazing. You grilled a fish, it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside." Bai and Yang stuffed the fish into their mouths while talking in unison. You can open a restaurant to support yourself!"

Hearing this, Gu Huai suddenly laughed, and Bai and Yang were a little confused by his smile.

"I mean it! What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered that Zihuan himself said this before!"

Bai and Yang said suddenly, "Look, it seems that the two of us still have a good understanding!"

"Actually, maybe I will really open a restaurant in the future. Then you will come to take care of my business. Introduce more rich sons!" Li Yu joked

Hearing this, Bai and Yang shook their heads again, "No, no, I don't think it's worth your talent to be a cook, you should benefit the common people."

"You seem to know a lot about me?" Li Yu suddenly asked seriously

"It's not bad! My brother can become the Minister of Dali Temple, so he needs to get to know the people in Chang'an City! It's just that I'm very interested in your affairs!" Bai and Yang didn't hide it at all.

Hearing Bai and Yang's words, Li Yu suddenly laughed, maybe he trusted him because he was honest enough!
