Stir up a pool of spring water

Two days later, at the middle of the night, Long Xi woke up vigilantly, and heard a few birdsong outside the house, three long and two short.

Long Xi shook his head and laughed, this stupid bird, screaming in the middle of the night, was careful to be caught and eaten by other wild animals.

Get up from the bed, put on your shoes and coat, push the door and go out.

The gatekeeper looked at her vigilantly, and said in a bad tone, "What are you doing? I can't sleep well in the middle of the night."

Long Xi looked innocent, "I drank too much water before going to bed, and I wanted to go to the toilet."

"No, go back to sleep!"

"Are you still human? How can I sleep if you hold back like this? Do you want me to piss in the room?" Long Xi squinted at him, "I really pissed in the room, are you in charge of cleaning? Or give me another room to sleep tomorrow. ?”

In the end, it was Long Xi who won the victory and got the right to go to the toilet.

When most people build their houses, the toilets are far away from the bedrooms for the sake of elegance, and there are not many guards and patrols here.

Before entering the toilet, Long Xi glared viciously at the guard who followed, "Stay away, I won't be able to urinate if you stand too close."

If it wasn't for that face that was so beautiful, the guards would have wanted to hit someone, there are so many thieves!

After entering the latrine, Long Xi yelled inside again: "I forgot to bring toilet paper, go and get me some."

The guard finally couldn't take it anymore, "What toilet paper are you using to piss!"

"Suddenly I want to shit again."

Guard: "..."

Stepping on angry steps to get her a straw paper.

Long Xi stood in the latrine, pinching his nose, and lazily said, "Okay, come out quickly."

Qing Yi appeared with a suppressed smile on his face.

"Master Hong, I'll take you away right away."

Who knew that Long Xi shook his head, "Not busy, I'll stay here for a few more days, and I have to find out their intentions, otherwise I won't feel at ease. Have you guessed the identity of this group of people?"

Qingyi stated his conjecture: "If the conjecture is correct, it should be the former prince Obsidian Ri and his subordinates."

"Who is the former prince? The old man?"

"From the perspective of age, it should be."

"I really want to seek to usurp the throne." Long Xi pondered for a moment, then said: "You go back first, I will deal with them for a while. This is just a temporary station for them, and I don't know where the base camp is. I'll see Let's see if you can find one or two hole cards, otherwise your master will be very uncomfortable."

"If the Lord knows that you care about her so much, he must be very happy."

"No, the devil is thinking of her. I just came in by the way." Long Xi's cheeks were slightly red, but the fire was too dim to see clearly. "I still have a signal flare in my hand. Send someone to keep an eye on it at all times. When I send the signal flare, it will be the time for the official attack."

"Yes." Qing Yi left quietly.

When the guard brought the toilet paper, he saw Long Xi walking unsteadily towards the bedroom.

"Didn't you want the toilet paper? Could it be..." The guard's eyes were a bit indescribable.

Long Xi: "...I suddenly remembered something."

Guard: "..."

Three days later, the old man came over with a model, it was the small model of the weapon that Long Xi had drawn before, it was not easy to think of him, he made it in such a short period of time.

But for the effect, the old man expressed dissatisfaction. Although this weapon was improved compared to the previous weapon, it was far less effective than the Hundred-shot Crossbow obtained by the Impermanent Ghost.

Now this weapon is called Dragon Head Boat.

It looks like a dragon's head, with a spring buckle inside. When the dragon's horn is pulled down, a steel needle will be shot out from the dragon's mouth.Moreover, the dragon body is ingeniously designed, and thousands of steel needles can be hidden inside. As long as the dragon's horns are pulled down, the steel needles inside can be shot out continuously until they are all shot.

This thing is made smaller and can be carried with you. Once it is activated, one person can fight against dozens of people without any loss.

If it is made larger, the steel needles will be bigger and thicker. Once activated, they will be a powerful siege weapon that can penetrate the city wall. If the soldiers on the wall are under the rain of steel needle arrows fired at the same time , I am afraid that no one can escape.

Long Xi also knows the horror of this dragon-headed boat, so in the past few years of modification, she has greatly weakened the power of the dragon-headed boat, and can only make it small.If you want to make a big dragon boat, there will be problems with the structure inside, the spring buckle and the slot of the hidden needle will not be connected, and there will be confusion. The steel needle will explode inside, piercing the dragon boat, threatening the operator's safety life safety.

Obviously, what the old man wanted was the power of the dragon-headed ship.Although the small dragon head boat is quite powerful for individuals, but if there is a big battle with thousands of troops, this small thing is not enough.

Long Xi didn't know what he was thinking, but the real dragon-headed boat was definitely not drawn for him.Otherwise, if such a heaven-defying weapon is created, even if the guards of the Xuanyuan Dynasty are impenetrable, they will be broken one day.

"Master Hong, is there a memory error in the weapon map you drew because the time interval is too long?" The old man asked someone to hold the dragon-headed boat, and his tone was extremely cold, "Once the dragon-headed boat is made big, it will be powerful immediately. Minus. According to your father's talent, this kind of mistake should not occur, so is it because your memory is wrong?"

"It's not bad." Long Xi said with certainty: "Father has a small note in the design drawing of the dragon head boat, which says that the power of the dragon head boat is too powerful, and the internal structure needs to be further improved in order to bring out its true power. But I searched all over the Hundred Soldiers Atlas, but I couldn’t find any improvement methods recorded on it, so this may be one of my father’s unfinished works. It’s a pity that the old man has passed away, so I can only draw the blueprint from memory as it is.”

"Did you draw the semi-finished product for me?" The old man swung the cane straight to Long Xi's gate, "You don't mean to tell me that all the weapons on the Hundred Soldiers Map are semi-finished products, right?"

"Of course not, there are still quite a few finished products." Long Xi smiled calmly, "But didn't I draw what I remembered first, and you didn't say that semi-finished products can't be drawn."

"Do you remember the style diagram of the finished product?"

"To be honest, what I remember most clearly is this dragon-headed ship. Because of its strange shape and being a semi-finished product, I have been studying it for a long time. Since you said that the power of the big dragon-headed ship has been greatly reduced after it is built, it must have already destroyed the big ship. Made it, and came to me after testing."

"Maybe you can take me to see the manufacturing process of the big ship? Although I don't have the talent of a father, I have studied the weapon design on the Hundred Soldiers Map for so many years, and I have some experience. Maybe after seeing the manufacturing process, I can get A little inspiration may help improve it."

"To be honest, the power of this dragon-headed ship is considered to be among the best in the Hundred Soldiers Atlas. The others are all single-use weapons, such as long swords. I'm afraid they won't be what the old man wants."

The old man pondered for a long time, and finally smiled inexplicably, and approached Long Xi step by step, "Do you want to spy on me? Or do you want to find out where I built the dragon-headed boat? Han Jinli sent you in as a spy?"

"This is what you said..." Long Xi said with an aggrieved face: "Didn't you arrest my daughter and let me throw myself into the trap? Who likes to be a spy? If you let me go now, I will go home immediately. The clock doesn't stop!"

"I can take you there." The old man smiled like a venomous snake, "but people who have been to that place are basically dead. Since you are so curious, go there too."

Long Xi smiled dryly: "Since that's the case... then there's no need, my curiosity is not very serious."

"It's beyond your control."

Maybe she made up her mind to kill Longxi after she finished remodeling the dragon boat, so when she went to the new location this time, Longxi was not masked, nor was her hand tied, but there were people around her with big knives around her. around, it is impossible to escape.

Long Xi took out a handful of jujubes from his pocket and handed them to the big men beside him, "Big brothers, would you like one? I grow them at home, they are so sweet."

No one pays attention to her.

Long Xi made fun of himself, took the dates and ate them by himself, and ate them all the way.

The road became more and more rugged, and finally walked into the cave. It was winding and I don't know how deep it went. Finally, it suddenly became clear that it turned out to be a large open space.

Many soldiers inside were practicing, and their every move was quite imposing.And looking at that huge area, there are at least tens of thousands of people, and I don't know if there are troops stationed in other places.

Long Xi was secretly startled, it seemed that this old guy really planned to rebel.

"Master Hong, what do you think?" The old man asked with a smile, "Compared to the Xuanyuan Army you saw in Han Jinli, my Black Dragon Corps is not inferior, is it?"

Long Xi laughed dryly: "I haven't seen any Xuanyuan Army, I haven't even been to Chang'an, the most common ones are the guards around Han Jinli, I have never seen a regular army."

"Then let you see what a regular army is today. If the dragon-headed ship can be built, I will march north in one fell swoop. The defense of the Xuanyuan Dynasty can only collapse in an instant against my brave Black Dragon Corps. The restoration of our Heisheng Kingdom is in sight! "

The old man's expression was extremely excited, and he burst into tears, "I have waited for more than [-] years, more than [-] years, finally let me wait until this day!"

At this point, Long Xi finally confirmed the identity of the old man, and it was really the former prince Black Day.

The former emperor was not a mediocre person, but his incompetence was real, and just happened to encounter successive years of famines, and the people were in panic.The founding emperor of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, Xuanyuan Ai, was also a man of great talent and ambitions. This act of rebellion actually made him a success.Hei Shengguo has become history, and the former prince, Hei Yaori, was young and ignorant, and suddenly encountered a life of family ruin and hiding in Tibet, and fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.

Several veteran officials of Hei Shengguo rescued him desperately, and instilled in him the concept of restoring the old country since he was a child. It is no wonder that this Black Day has worked hard for more than [-] years, just to rebuild the old country.

The Centipede is dead but not stiff. Although the Heisheng Kingdom has been destroyed, the integration of the forces remaining in various places at that time is also a great force.Over the years, Obsidian has absorbed all the scattered forces and expanded further.If coupled with the powerful dragon-headed boat opening the way, it is hard to say who will win the confrontation between him and the Xuanyuan Army.

"I'll take you to the place where the dragon head boat was built." Black Day brought Longxi to a huge bamboo house, where people came and went, and there were sounds of planing wood and iron striking from time to time, Luo Ze endlessly.

A semi-finished dragon head boat was spread out inside, and several workers surrounded the dragon head boat chattering and expressing their opinions.

Seeing Black Ribbon walking in, everyone took a few steps back in fear, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, shouting respectfully: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Long Xi: "..."

This old man really wants to be an emperor and is crazy.

Obsidian waved his hands decently, "Get flat."

Long Xi suddenly rejoiced that the old man didn't force her to kowtow too, otherwise it would be too awkward.

Today's Ninth Five-Year Lord is Xuanyuan Qi, no matter how bad her family is, Han Xia Xia is also Ye Tianzi, if you want to kowtow, you will never be able to kowtow to this old man.

"Master Hong, come and take a look at the internal structure and manufacturing process of this leading ship. There is something wrong." Black Day took Long Xi to look around, and said with a half-smile, "I don't know how long it will take for Master Hong to find out. The solution, the old man has no patience, and if he procrastinates for a long time, he may become irritable, and if he offends Gang Leader Hong in any way, he will be rude."

Long Xi pretended to be embarrassed, "You also know that the design of this thing is extremely complicated. I believe you have many capable people under your command. They probably couldn't find a solution, so you came to me, right? I can only say to help as much as possible." , As for when this design can be improved, it’s really hard to say.”

Obsidian's attitude was very polite, "If this is the case, please ask Chief Hong to put more thought into it."

"It's natural."

The two of them pretended to be in love for a while, and Hei Yaori left to go elsewhere, and Long Xi wandered leisurely in the cracks of what was barely a weapons factory.

After looking around, I was even more shocked.In addition to the leading ship that is currently being built, there are also siege vehicles, trebuchets, continual crossbows, wall climbing ladders, etc. It seems that Obsidian has really been preparing for this battle for quite a long time.

She found a worker who was planing wood, and asked with a smile, "Master, how long have you been working here?"

Seeing such a beautiful woman like Long Xi with a smile on his face, a stone man could be melted away, let alone a carpenter who has never seen anything in the world.

So he blushed and stammered: "It's been about ten years. I was an apprentice here when I was a teenager, and now the children are all grown up."

"Then why did you come to this deep mountain and old forest to work as a carpenter? It's hard to find this place, isn't it?"

"It's hard to find. It was an old carpenter from our village who came to the village to recruit people, and the wages he paid were high. Many people in the village came to work here." Unable to say, I continued: "But after working here, I haven't gone out to see the outside world, and a few small villages have gradually formed here, with farming, weaving, and Those who do handicraft work here like us can still get by, which is much better than before without enough food and clothing.”

"Isn't that so." Long Xi replied with a smile: "I was also introduced by someone, and I was afraid that life would be difficult after I came in. Now I hear you say that, so I can rest assured."

"Big sister, what can you do with your thin skin and tender flesh?" The carpenter smiled and said, "I guess you came in with your man? Your man is very lucky. To marry such a beautiful wife as you, just follow a man like you." Like a fairy."

Long Xi was delighted, "The skins given to me by my parents are not bad."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Long Xi continued to inquire elsewhere.

A day later, I have a general understanding of the situation here.

This is a very closed environment. Most of the people were introduced 30 to [-] years ago, and some were recruited in recent years.However, people here regularly replenish supplies every other month, and the basic life can be guaranteed.The villagers inside stayed for a long time, and gradually forgot about the outside world, self-sufficient like a paradise.

There is even a school here, teaching children to read and write, practicing martial arts, telling the history of Heisheng country, and brainwashing them from childhood. Many children regard themselves as people from Heisheng country. Hei wins the country and fights.

I don't know if Obsidian has any descendants. If it develops in this way for another three to fifty years, it will really free up a small country for him.

According to those villagers, some of them didn't live here before, they lived in another mountain pass, which was also in a closed mode, but the population there gradually increased, and some people were diverted to this side.

If this is the case, then this Black Wind Village is not Black Sun's lair, he still has a bigger base.

According to the villagers, it takes about three days to ride in a horse-drawn carriage, and the winter is relatively dry and cold, so it should be in the north.

Long Xi can't figure out where that place is for the time being, so he can only collect as much information as possible, and give Han Jinli feedback when the time comes.

Another two days later, Long Xi had nothing to do and spent all day chatting with the workers, but the foreman finally found out and reported the matter.

A masked man angrily brought her to Obsidian.

Black Day seems to be quite busy, with a lot of things to do every day. He took time to meet Long Xi and said coldly: "I don't know how to cherish the time I give you. Don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes."

Long Xi complained: "Didn't I communicate with the workers in charge of manufacturing the leading boats, so as to understand the crux of the problem? If I didn't ask clearly, I would just rush around as soon as I got there, and that would be a waste of time."

"I'll give you another three days. If you don't build the leading boat, you won't need to keep it!"

This was an ultimatum, and Long Xi also saw the killing intent in Hei Yaori's eyes.

That night, she released the flare.

After Qingyi received the signal, he immediately led the army to attack Heifeng Village, but only saw one person going to Loukong Village.

But the signal did show that it was sent from Heifeng Mountain, so Long Xi must not have gone far.

"Take someone to search around to see if we can find any clues." Qing Yi ordered everyone: "Guard Master Hong should still be in this mountain. You should pay attention to every detail, even the turf. You are smart and smart, and you should leave some marks for us as road signs before you leave."

The soldiers searched separately in the mountains, but still found nothing after a day.

Xiaohongzao also joined the scope of the search, and now she is so anxious that she can't sit still.

In the end, she actually found something.

"Look, this is a date pit, the kind of date I planted!" Xiao Hongzao was very happy, and held up the dried date pit to show Qing: "I found it in the haystack, maybe the lord of the gang will come to see it!" Before you left, you were still eating the dates I planted!"

Qing nodded, "You are amazing, you can find them like this."

was complimented!

The little red dates are so beautiful that you can't find the north. If it had a tail, it would probably be up to the sky by now.

"I think there should be date pits nearby, ask someone to look for them carefully."

Qingyi ordered his subordinates to do the same.

The jujube core was extremely thin, and it was not easy to detect when it fell into the weeds.

It took a long time to find the second one.

After groping and searching like this, they actually made them find a way along the date pit, and there was a dark cave in front of them.

"Could the leader be caught inside?" Little Hongzao was worried, and pulled Qingyi's sleeves in fear, "It's dark inside, could there be some kind of beast?"

Qing Yi shook his head, "It doesn't have the stench of wild animals, and the nearby grass has signs of wear and tear, which proves that people usually walk around here."

"Qing Er, take a few people in to investigate the situation first, remember not to go deep, and withdraw immediately if something goes wrong."

"Yes." Qing Er took the order and walked in with several Qing Banner guards.

The interior of the cave was very dark. After they walked for a while, they found that there was a fire in front of them, which should be the light from the torch.

Qing Er and the others stopped cautiously, and a man's voice not far in front shouted coldly: "Who?!"

It seems that the cave is guarded.

The few people backed away calmly, slowly exited the cave, and came back to report the situation to Qing Yi.

"It seems that this is the right place. Qinger, you go in again, put down those guards, then put on their clothes and sneak in, first rescue Hong gang leader, and then we will launch an attack."

Qing Er entered the cave again, quietly put down several guarding soldiers, and then formally entered the world behind the cave.

They were all taken aback when they saw the large army being trained.In this kind of deep mountain and old forest stationed troops, no one would believe that it was not a rebellion.

The author has something to say: Emma...the Longxi people haven't married yet, and they have already started thinking about Lao Gong...
