Dressed As An Ancient Heroine Control Group - Chapter 228

Qin Fang walked over with a smile on his brows: “Why are you here? How’s the journey?”

Du Xingran chuckled: “Very well, it’s only three days away, the emperor asked me to come, and I fought for it myself. By the way, Brother Qin, I’m not the captain of the city defense now, but I’m serving as an official in front of the emperor. I am now a rank six imperial guard.”

Qin Fang was very happy for Du Xingran when he heard it. You must know that no matter how many officials are, it is different from being a messenger in front of the emperor. Just like whether an official has real power, even if the rank is low, it is different if he has real power.

Qin Fang patted Du Xingran’s shoulder with a palm: “So, it’s time to celebrate today.”

Du Xingran said: “Then I would like to thank Brother Qin. By the way, Brother Qin, let me introduce to you. This is our captain, the guard of the Royal Forest Army of the fifth rank, called General Yu Nianyu.”

The person introduced by Du Xingran seemed to be in his thirties, with a fierce look in his eyes, and his expression was very serious.

Yu Nian said: “General Qin, I have long admired the name.” His face is fierce, not fierce, but because of this appearance, many people are afraid of him. Now there is a child, but the children at home are also afraid of him. Yu Nian is a little sad.

Qin Fang said, “General Yu, please come inside.”

This time, there were 100 royal guards who accompanied Qin. Only Du Xingran, Yu Nian, and the five royal guards that Yu Nian brought along with Qin were put into the tent. Among the 100 guards, 20 were in a team.

After entering the camp, Yu Nian said directly: “General Qin, I have official business, and Yu said directly, when are you going to give us the gunpowder? We want to set off as soon as possible and send it to Yongzhou.”

Qin Fang said: “Five more days.”

When Yu Nian heard it, he couldn’t help frowning and said, “Five days? Yongzhou is in a hurry, waiting for gunpowder, why do you need five more days? Didn’t your majesty send a letter in advance?”

Qin Fang said: “General Yu does not know that gunpowder can’t be made in advance. The gunpowder made in advance will be wet and affect its power, so it is all made now. Qin started to make gunpowder after receiving the letter from His Majesty, but he made gunpowder. The manpower is limited, and in the past few days, the amount requested by His Majesty cannot be reached, so it will take five more days.”

Yu Nian didn’t know anything about gunpowder. Qin Fang said so, he naturally wouldn’t doubt it, but: “Can’t we increase the number of people to do it? Otherwise, what should I do if I miss the time? Yongzhou is in a hurry.”

Qin Fang said: “Your Majesty knows that gunpowder needs to be made now, and I came from Yongzhou. With the current military strength of the barbarians, I am not an opponent of our army at all, so General Yu don’t have to worry. The gunpowder is made by the Ministry of Industry. A few, you can’t increase the number of people, otherwise the formula of gunpowder leaks, and Qin can’t bear the responsibility.”

Qin Fang said so, but Yu Nian didn’t say it. Moreover, even if they missed it, it was not their responsibility, but Qin Fang’s.

The hundred garrison troops brought by Yu Nian were settled in the barracks. Yu Nian did not want to be separated from the garrison troops, so they 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 son, and she was surprised when she saw Qin Fang and Du Xingran enter the yard: “Second brother Du.”

Du Xingran was also happy to see Yang Haiyan: “Sister, okay…”

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by the little radish beside Yang Haiyan: “Brother…” A word popped out of Qin Linyang’s mouth.

Qin Linyang’s children can be called mother, father, and brother. Hearing Yang Haiyan calling Du Xingran Du’s second brother, he followed suit. This call made everyone laugh.

Du Xingran guessed who he was: “This is my nephew, so old.”

Qin Linyang’s child is well raised, and Yang Haiyan has never given him milk powder, so he is taller than his peers.

Yang Haiyan said: “It’s just a little silly. Second brother Du, please come in, why is second brother Du here?”

Du Xingran: “I was ordered to send the gunpowder to Yongzhou.”

Qin Linyang watched as his mother and father brought his brother in. He followed behind with his legs dangling. Anyway, there were pedicabs and wives watching. He followed happily, and Yang Haiyan didn’t worry about him.

barracks

There were two garrison troops who seemed to be visiting the barracks, but in fact they were talking secretly.

“The delivery time of gunpowder is different from what we expected. Is there any problem over there?” It doesn’t matter if it’s a day or two, but if it’s five or six days, it’s a bit long.

“Then what can be done? Who knows that the time of gunpowder will be different? I thought that His Majesty asked us to come. We have ready-made gunpowder, so we can only wait.”

“That’s the only way. Now it’s too late to send the letter. In other words, His Majesty will hand over the gunpowder to a farmer in Qin Fang, and I really trust him.”

“Who knows, it has nothing to do with us, we just need to guarantee the gunpowder…”

“If this thing is successful, our brothers can retire, who will be the Imperial Forest Army at that time.”

“It’s not.” Ordinary guards like them, who have no money and no power, are the hardest.

Qin Fang said that it would take five days, that is, five days. After five days, Qin Fang handed over the gunpowder to the Imperial Forest Army: “General Yu, this is the gunpowder that the emperor said, please count it, there are a total of 200 packets.”

Naturally, more than one year, the quantity of 200 packs is no problem, but they don’t know what gunpowder is. Yu Nian received the gunpowder and asked the Imperial Forest Army to pack the gunpowder. Because it couldn’t be exposed to the rain, he packed it very carefully: “Thank you for the hospitality of General Qin these days. Just…I also ask General Qin to forgive Yu’s villainous heart, in order to prove it. This gunpowder is from General Qin, can General Qin send someone to accompany us?” In this way, if there is a problem with the gunpowder, it has nothing to do with them.

Qin Fang originally wanted to do this, but now he heard Yu Nian’s proposal, and he couldn’t ask for it, he said cheerfully: “No problem, I will ask Captain Yang to bring a hundred soldiers with you. Besides, Captain Yang came with me from Yongzhou. Yes, I am more familiar with this road.”

Yu Nian: “That’s great. Thanks again General Qin.”

Qin Fang: “General Yu is serious.”

After the gunpowder was loaded, Yu Nian took the Imperial Forest Army, and Yang Xiaowei took the soldiers and set off together. Du Xingran waved at Qin Fang: “Brother Qin, I’m leaving, we have a chance to have a drink together again.”

Qin Fang: “Take care all 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 few Ministry of Work officials who were detained, only the cook and the old lady were left to take care of the officials of the Ministry of Works.

But today, there are unexpected visitors.

“They’re all gone?” The guest asked when Qin Fang came.

“Well, it’s fortunate that you arrived yesterday, otherwise it would have to be delayed for a few days.” Qin Fang looked at him, it was not someone else, but Han Zhen.

It took Tao Shan seven days to go from Yunxiang County to the border gate, and Han Zhen took five days to get there, because the two horses are different. Qin Fang has actually figured it out. He has traveled this distance, so he can calculate the number of days it will take Taoshan to get to the border, and Qin Fang’s horse is the same as Wu Shuai, so he can also calculate the number of days it will take for Han Zhen to get here. Of course, if there is a gap of a few days, Qin can also delay when the time comes.

Han Zhen: “Is this gunpowder really that powerful?”

Qin Fang said: “I’ll take you to see it.” Han Zhen was transformed into a soldier and followed Qin 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 bag of gunpowder from the Taoist Temple of Beast Mountain: “This is a small gunpowder. For the convenience of carrying, it is a little different from the gunpowder that was researched before. Of course, its power is also different. Gunpowder is not far away.”

Having said that, the two went to an open place, where there were many traces of gunpowder. When they studied gunpowder before, they were all tested here. There are sandbags all around, and the pads are high and many, so that the mountain will not be blown up when the gunpowder explodes.

Qin Fang fixed the small gunpowder bag on the arrow, then lit it and pulled the bow.

Bang…the arrow flew into the sandbag, and then the gunpowder exploded. Han Zhen couldn’t help but take a few steps forward. He was a little excited: “This…this…”

Qin Fang said with a bit of pride: “How is it?”

Han Zhen swallowed his saliva, and his throat became a little dry with excitement: “Good stuff, really good stuff. There is absolutely no problem in frying a dozen people in this small package. Brothers, your stuff is really good, it’s here. Why should I, Qiguo, worry about other countries coming to invade the border?”

Qin Fang said: “Although this is the case, there are very few ores that can do this.”

Han Zhen: “So the emperor intends to beat the mountains and the tigers in this battle with the barbarians? We know that there are few ore, but others don’t know, the effect of this deterrent must be good.”

Qin Fang: “What does the emperor think, where can we guess.”

Han Zhen: “That’s right. They will arrive in two days at most, and we’ll set off at that time, in time.”

Qin Fang: “Well.” According to Qin Fang’s original plan, Han Zhen and the others followed with the brigade. However, after the two met and discussed yesterday, they changed their minds again. Han Zhen led people to form a team of their own and left with gunpowder. And the Royal Forest Army, they…

Two days later, Tao Shan and others arrived.

There are only five people on Han Zhen’s side, so if the gunpowder is to be transported, the number of people will not be enough. So Qin Fang sent fifty cavalry to accompany him, not many.

Before that, the gunpowder had been moved to the Imperial Grain Factory and packed. So when gunpowder came out of the imperial grain factory, in the eyes of others, it was potato flour and sweet potato flour.

Nowadays, all of Qiguo has potato flour and sweet potato flour, and no one will rob 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 anxious, hoping that they would arrive in Yongzhou safely. It is completely safe to arrive in Yongzhou.

Because he was worried about gunpowder, Qin Fang didn’t sleep well these days. Seeing this, Yang Haiyan was very reluctant. She bought the soothing incense from the platform and gave Qin Fang a massage.

Qin Linyang saw his father lying on the couch with only a pair of underwear on, his mother was sitting on the side and pressed his father’s head, so he walked to his father’s side, stretched out his little fleshy hand, and pressed it on his father’s hand. Yes, while still looking at his mother.

Yang Haiyan couldn’t help but said, “Aren’t your hands sore?”

Qin Linyang didn’t understand the child either. After pressing it a few times, he stopped pressing it. He went to the side to play with the cloth ball, and threw the cloth ball at his father. However, his strength is small, and he can’t throw it on his father at all.

Qin Fang glanced at him, and he giggled, enjoying himself playing alone.

Qin Fang: “what is this fool laughing at?”

Yang Haiyan: “We don’t understand the happiness of children. You rest well and don’t worry about him.”

Qin Fang hummed, closed his eyes and rested. I have to say that his daughter-in-law’s hand was on his head. Although the force was light, it was really comfortable, which made him relax unconsciously. Yang Haiyan used to run a weight loss camp by herself, so she has some understanding of the acupuncture points of the human body. She massaged according to the acupoints.

The general’s mansion returned to its former tranquility, but the gunpowder delivery team was not at all peaceful.

Yu Nian brought 100 people to deliver gunpowder, plus the 100 soldiers brought by Yang Xiaowei, it is reasonable to say that a total of 200 people can transport ten boxes of gunpowder, which is quite easy.

But that’s easy as it looks, but it’s not. Because each box of gunpowder was heavier than they thought. When we first left Yunxiang County, everyone was in good spirits, and they didn’t feel that gunpowder was heavy. Now that they have traveled for five or six days, and the food can’t keep up, the weight of gunpowder is reflected.

During the break, Yu Nian walked up to Captain Yang: “Secretary Yang, how many days will it take to reach the Yongzhou Barracks?”

Yang Xiaowei did the math and said, “We have already traveled for six days. According to our current speed, it is estimated that it will take another six days.”

Six days, it’s fine.

I haven’t seen gunpowder for more than a year, so I’m still a little curious about this weapon. No, he was resting now, so he asked curiously: “Have you ever seen gunpowder?”

Yang Xiaowei said: “I have seen it naturally. The power of gunpowder is very strong, such as this mountain. As long as the amount of gunpowder is enough, the mountain can be leveled in the blink of an eye.”

Yu Nian was very surprised: “So powerful?”

Yang Xiaowei said: “It’s not only that, you have to see this for yourself. I said that you have never seen this scene, and you can’t imagine it.”

After thinking about it for more than a year, it is true.

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

Yu Nian and others wore the clothes of the Imperial Forest Army, and the soldiers led by Yang Xiaowei were also wearing the clothes of the military camp, so they looked like officers and soldiers. Because of this, they were naturally not afraid of robbers, so they walked boldly this way.

only……

“There are obstacles ahead.” Du Xingran said, “How come there are two big trees in the middle of the road on this good day?”

At first glance, this situation is not right, Yu Nian said loudly: “Everyone pay attention.” Damn, who dares to be so bold to attack their ideas? Yu Nian sent a few people to move the tree, and then said to Xiaowei Yang, “Xiaowei Yang, it seems that this situation is not easy.”

Yang Xiaowei remembered the command of the general before, he said: “I will take someone to check nearby?”

Yu Nian said: “Okay, we will wait there.”
