Chapter 308 Chapter 306 Duel 4
Gou Chunwen went out, and the craftsman in black continued to repair the musket without blinking, trying it left and right again and again, and always after firing one, there would be a few more stuck in the barrel, and he kept trying like this.
In another secret cave, the man in black led Gou Chunwen to climb up. After climbing for a long time, he stopped, held the rope ladder, uncovered a small piece of stone, and looked out through the cave entrance. "Leader, look, they have found the inside of the mountain, but they brought hunting dogs with them. I'm afraid it will be bad for us..."
Looking out through the tiny hole, I saw soldiers of the Dayin Dynasty crawling over the hillside in groups of three or two, looking for their traces.
Zhao Lan, the canine fang of the Great Yin Dynasty, has finally arrived. He has finally waited for this day.
Gou Chunwen smiled sinisterly, "Find out how many of them there are and lure them into our pocket." He didn't believe that he couldn't kill Zhao Lan this time.
"Yes, Chief." The man in black thought for a moment and reminded, "Chief, Ning is here. What if he mobilizes a large number of troops?"
"Impossible." Gou Chunwen had been in Dayin for many years and had learned Han culture since childhood. He was very familiar with and understood the delicate relationship between the imperial power and the ministers in Dayin. Once there was a war, the emperor relied on the generals who commanded the troops to fight. However, when the world was peaceful, the emperor was most afraid of court officials holding military power, and he would always try various ways to take it back.
The man surnamed Ning had been very cautious. He was chasing a spy from Liaoxia who had kidnapped Zhao Lan's fiancée. He didn't dare to send out the army at will.
It's almost the end of the month and it's snowing again.
At the foot of the mountain, a soldier came to report, "Deputy Envoy Zhao, General, our troops have searched seven hilltops, but still haven't found any clues."
It has been ten days since Su Ruojin and Xue Changcheng were abducted. If we can't find them, I'm afraid they will be in great danger.
Zhao Lan appeared calm on the surface, but he was extremely anxious on the inside.
The mountains in Qiushan County are continuous and undulating, with no end in sight. With the current manpower, it is impossible to conduct a carpet search. How can we search the mountains as quickly as possible?
Outside the thatched cottage, the snow was falling silently, fluttering in the air. Soon, a thick layer of snow covered the ground.
He suddenly shouted, "Shuangrui——"
"Master." Shuang Rui, who was boiling tea, immediately jumped over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Bring me the records of last year's gang of bandits."
"Yes, master." After putting the things in the secret compartment of the carriage, Shuangrui was about to go out when he heard his master calling him again.
"Master, is there anything else you want to take together?"
Zhao Lan said, "Call the village head and the best hunter here."
"Yes, Master."
"etc."
Shuang Rui lowered his raised foot again and turned to face Zhao Lan, "Master, I want more..."
Zhao Lan narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Go to the county government office and get the mountain, forest, fish and scales book belonging to Qiu County."
"Yes, Master."
Take Shuangrui out quickly and make arrangements.
Ning Qilang said, "I'm afraid there won't be any fish scales books in the deep mountains and old forests, right?"
Zhao Lan did not respond to him, but said, "Ning Qi, tonight, the two of us will go into the mountains together."
Ning Qilang pointed at the heavy snow outside and said, "It's snowing so heavily. Are we going into the mountains at night?"
“Yes.” Zhao Lan stood up. “San Tai——”
Santai was standing outside. When he heard him being called, he hurried in and said, "Master, hurry up and cook. Also, prepare some dry food for two days and one night."
"Yes, Master."
Ning Qilang frowned, "You're going to stay in the mountains for two days and one night?"
Zhao Lan left the hut and stood under the eaves, looking at the heavy snow flying all over the sky. He said softly, "This heavy snow came just in time."
How did it happen in time? Ning Qilang couldn't figure it out. The heavier the snow, the harder it would be to walk on the mountain road, and even harder to search and rescue. What was Zhao Lan trying to do?
The black-clad craftsman had almost finished firing the bullets he was testing, but he still couldn't solve the problem of the gun being stuck in the barrel. He had been watching it closely from beginning to end, and had not missed any details. How could this happen? He became furious and picked up the whip to hit Su Ruojin, but was blocked by Xue Changcheng, "Stop hitting... Stop..."
The whip hit him without restraint, and he really wanted to beat him to pieces. Su Ruojin was angry and anxious, and shouted, "Zhao Lan's whip took nearly ten attempts before he succeeded in making one. You guys thought you could make it right away. How could it be so easy? If it was so easy, wouldn't everyone have one?"
The black-clad craftsman then stopped whipping and asked, "You mean this one doesn't work? Make another one?"
Su Ruojin felt that she could no longer hold on due to the pain and hunger. She groaned weakly, "Yes."
The black-clad craftsman instantly became furious and was about to whip someone again.
"Believe it or not."
He rolled his eyes.
Su Ruojin glared back at her with an expression that said, "I'm not afraid." Her eyes were red as if to say, "If you don't believe me, just kill me."
Are you not afraid of death? The black-clad craftsman stared at her intently.
Su Ruojin was almost stared at and returned to her mother's womb. She couldn't help but hook her lips to remind him, "If you don't do it now, I'm afraid it will be too late."
In doubt, the black-clad craftsman once again forged and assembled a new musket.
Su Ruojin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and bought herself some time to survive. She prayed silently in her heart, Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan, have you found this place?
In the empty cave, the only sound could be heard: the black-clad craftsmen from Liao and Xia countries gathered together, working enthusiastically.
Su Ruojin secretly counted and found that there were about ten different faces coming in and out. Judging from their body shapes and statures, two of them did not look like professional soldiers, so they must be craftsmen.
After seeing the people, Su Ruojin secretly guessed, what kind of place is this? Unfortunately, her hands and feet were tied, and she didn't even have the chance to knock on the wall of the cave.
what to do?
I turned my head and found that Yang Si Niang was still unconscious. It had been half a day. It should be around seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Why hasn't she woken up yet? Could something have happened?
Su Ruojin moved closer to Yang Siniang with difficulty and poked her with her tied hands.
Once... twice... several times, but the person shows no signs of waking up. Could he have been scared to death?
Su Ruojin was so scared that she quickly touched her nostrils with her hand. Fortunately, there was breath. She was really scared to death.
I don’t know how long it took, but Su Ruojin, who was hungry, fell asleep.
When she regained consciousness, she was awakened by the sound of bullets from a musket.
The black-clad craftsman stood beside Gou Chunwen with a flattering look on his face, "Chief, this time we'll just fire one bullet, it won't get stuck inside again."
I didn't expect the second one to come out so soon.
But it was also within Su Ruojin's expectations, because when making the first set, the black-clad craftsman had basically prepared every part, it just took time to polish it. But she did not expect that they would be able to make the second musket so quickly.
"Captain, now that the musket is useful, do you want to get rid of these three?"
Gou Chunwen looked at the three people huddled in the corner of the cave, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He raised his musket and pointed it at the three people at the corner of the cave, took aim, and pulled the trigger.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a man in black came running over and said, "Chief... Leader Leng... something terrible is happening..."
They were speaking the Liaoxia language, and Su Ruojin didn't understand a word. She really wanted to ask Xue Changcheng if he understood. Gou Chunwen walked out with the musket in his hand, and stopped at the entrance of the cave. "Where is the first musket?"
