Era: It started with a beating

Huo Buwei was walking here, picking up and buying some life-saving things for a few people~

Such as stab-proof clothing, small crossbows, electric batons...

With just such a small amount of stuff, a lot of rubbish came out. Not to mention the stab-proof clothing. If it hadn't been for Hobuwei's experiment, no one would know whether it was true or false.

Not to mention the compact crossbow, these things can be tested. As for this electric baton, it doesn't matter that Huo Buwei has received a flashlight and a wooden stick. At least there are similarities in the writing.

What does it mean to receive two bricks at the end? This thing has nothing to do with electric batons at all, right?

Huo Buwei also deliberately knocked two bricks on the platform, and even hung two bricks on the platform.

Well, nothing special, just two bricks.

After everything was taken out, Lao Wu gave him an answer that made him very angry.

In addition to the electric baton, the crossbow and chain armor cost about thirty taels of silver.

It's just that this electric baton is of little use. It's easy to knock someone unconscious.

Huo Buwei...

After this incident, Huo Buwei lost a large sum of 8,200 yuan and bought a bunch of useless things. The only thing of use was~

I learned some rules about buying genuine products. The more expensive ones, the more genuine ones.

Huo Buwei has also reached a dead end. When buying these things, the craftsmanship of stab-proof clothing and crossbows is no worse than that of Bing Xixi.

The stab-proof clothing can be replaced by chain mail. In terms of practicality, the bow and crossbow at this time are stronger and more practical than the one at Xixi.

The most useless thing is the electric baton. This thing is used to subdue people, but in this era, putting a knife on the neck can also subdue people.

He had fallen into a misunderstanding of knowledge. It was not until the next city, when Huo Buwei, Lao Wu and others stayed at his inn, and another intelligence agent from his family came to see him, that Huo Buwei saw his own advantages~

This intelligence collector sold rouge and gouache. Huo Buwei had an idea and came up with a lot of mirrors, soaps, lipsticks, eyebrow pencils...

Looking at intelligence officer Aunt Feng's valuation, Huo Buwei finally breathed a sigh of relief: It's a return to money!

Leaving behind a large number of these things, Huo Buwei embarked on the journey happily under the eyes of Aunt Feng's praise...

…

He was delighted, but Emperor Wen was dizzy.

In front of him were things Ling Buyi had collected in Hua County: a gourd, some gunpowder pot fragments, a manure fork, some four-nine dollars and a few iron nails.

Emperor Wen picked up the dung fork and looked at it carefully, and even flicked it with his fingers~

"Buzz!"

"Your Majesty, I have tried it. These dung forks are made of fine steel. If they are used to make swords, they are at least weapons used by lieutenant colonels in the army. But I don't know why they are made into such agricultural tools."

Ling Busuo reported to Emperor Wen.

"In other words, Hua County suddenly showed up like this, and Feng Liancheng came? Inexplicably, he helped Magistrate Cheng defend Hua County and defeated Fan Chang?

Although Fan Chang is a rebel, he is still capable. He is only in Hua County and has few soldiers and generals, so he should not be able to stop him. "

Emperor Wen put down his dung fork and looked at the wine gourd and said.

"Your Majesty, after investigation, it was found that Fenghuo first threatened to set fire to the houses in Hua County and asked Fan Chang to release the people, and then used a sound like thunder~

It is said that something like a thunderbolt stopped Fan Chang's rebels at the gate of the city.

Rebuilt a lightweight trebuchet and destroyed Fan Chang's siege ladder! When I arrived at Hua County, only three or four out of ten of the rebels in Hua County were left.

However, after investigation, I found that Feng Huo was probably a pseudonym because someone called him several times and it took him a while before he agreed.

And he also wrote two poems: When will Changyingtian lend me a hand, the smoke from all directions will be leveled with one shot. "

"Good! What a spirit! If this boy had been born back then, he would have been a fierce general! Zi Sheng, I am going to issue a recruitment document, do you think he will come?"

Emperor Wen actually had a love for talents.

"No! He left when I arrived. If he wanted to be an official, he would not be like this.

And he took the secret passage from under a tavern called Lao Wu! This secret road leads directly to the dense forest south of Hua County.

If Fan Chang hadn't cut down the trees, it would have been difficult to find the exit.

This kind of behavior is not the behavior of a normal person. I suspect that he is a remnant of the previous dynasty! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so sneaky! "

"Zisheng, does the tavern owner named Lao Wu have a portrait?"

"Yes, but based on my experience, Old Wu should be a pseudonym, and his face should be a mask, because it is impossible for anyone to have such a long scar."

The portrait unfolded, and a scar running from the left forehead to the tip of the right eyebrow was particularly conspicuous, and he had a thick beard. With his appearance, if the scar was not real and the sea fishing documents were posted, dozens of people could be arrested a day.

Too ordinary!

Of course, they will definitely not be able to catch the real Lao Wu, because Lao Wu wears more than one mask, and they all look so lifelike.

…

Soon, Emperor Wen had no time to meddle in Hua County's business, and King Yong rebelled!

Fortunately, in the past few years, the barbarians were beaten by Cheng Shi and lost their temper. Otherwise, Emperor Wen would have had a headache.

As for King Yong's rebellion, it was just a scabies disease. If it had been more than ten years ago...

Forget it, King Yong was a logistics and miscellaneous officer more than ten years ago. All his subordinates together only numbered two to three hundred people. How could they be of any use?

Soon, the people to suppress the rebellion were selected, and Ling Buyi did his part. There was another point in this, Ling Buyi did not tell Emperor Wen ~

In Ling Buyi's investigation, the reason why Gucheng suffered a disastrous defeat was not only Ling Yi, but also the shoddy ordnance provided by King Yong.

The most important thing is that Ling Buyi discovered the ordnance that had been dropped in Fan Chang's army!

How could this not make Ling Buyue excited? If King Yong is captured and asked to correct Ling Yi...

…

Huo Buwei came to Qingshan Temple leisurely. The gate of Qingshan Temple was built with such grandeur!

Starting from the foot of the mountain, bluestone steps are paved from the foot of the mountain to the mountain gate. Incense is flourishing and Sanskrit sounds are bursting. Those who know it is Qingshan Temple, and those who don't know it think it is the great thunder sound of the West.

Burn incense, pay homage, and then ask if you can stay for two days to fast and pray.

As a result, there is no wing room in this temple.

…

There is a ghost! For such a big temple, it doesn't matter if the higher-ups don't let you go, but it doesn't even have a wing.

There are no pilgrims staying overnight and so many incense are burned every day. Even a fool knows there is something wrong.

Huo Buwei glanced at Old Wu. Old Wu was also a little ashamed. How come no one saw such an obvious thing?

The most important thing is that there is no Huo family stronghold in Qingshan Town below.

Not allowed to stay, Huo Buwei had no choice but to go back and prepare to visit Qingshan Temple at night...

Chapter 753 The duel between technology and cold weapons

At night, Huo Buwei suddenly stopped the actions of Lao Wu and others.

Qingshan Town and Qingshan Temple are completely in the same group. Even the county magistrate of Qingshan Town is inseparable from Qingshan Temple.

Qingshan Town actually implemented a curfew, and even the innkeepers and waiters would look for opportunities to check on Huo Buwei and the others from time to time.

He barely had the words "monitoring" written on his face.

If I go out, I'm afraid someone will find out next moment, right? When the time comes, you may be charged with whatever crime you want, and I'm afraid you won't be able to escape.

Huo Buwei made a prompt decision and stopped the action. He even discussed things by writing on the table with tea.

Lao Wu wanted to take advantage of the situation and send Huo Buwei out first, and then he and others would be caught by them.

After Lao Wu learned that there was basically no one in the Qingshan County Prison, all the criminals were escorted away. Some of them either escaped or died of illness during the escort.

Lao Wu suspected that they were using criminals to do something. Based on what he heard at the Golden Buddha Temple at that time, I was afraid that these people were used as coolies to secretly dig warehouses containing gold and silver.

Old Wu wants to sneak in...

As a result, Huo Buwei rejected it at that time!

Who knows if they have finished digging? Even if the digging is not finished, after such a long time, there are always one or two capable people, right?

But no one escaped. There must be something unique about him. This risk cannot be taken!

Now that we know there is a problem here, we can figure out a solution after we get out.

Huo Buwei wanted to go out and find a solution, but after so many days of investigation, it had long been exposed. If he wanted to go out and find a solution, it would depend on whether others were willing.

…

The next day, Huo Buwei and his group of more than 20 people went straight to the outside of Qingshan Town, planning to find a solution after leaving.

"stop!"

The man in front, named Zhao Zheng, suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone.

"What's wrong?" Hobuwei asked.

"Second Young Master, something is wrong. The birds are flying in the woods ahead. I'm afraid there might be an ambush inside. I'll go over and take a look first..."

"What are you looking at? If there is an ambush, will you come back?"

With that said, Hobuwei turned around and threw out a bunch of trebuchet accessories from the carriage.

After a while, a thing similar to the Huaxian trebuchet was assembled. The direction was adjusted and pushed forward for more than ten meters.

"Whoosh!"

A gunpowder jar sent sparks flying all the way!

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, followed by several screams.

"choke!"

A group of black-clad and masked men appeared on the road with bows raised.

Huo Buwei looked at the man in black across from him: "You really think highly of me. There are only twenty-three of you. There must be at least two hundred of you."

"Second Young Master, withdraw..."
