Chapter 187 Unexpected Surprise
Bai Xun laughed on the spot: "What Mr. Yi saw, does my lord deceive the world and steal his name? Is his name not true?"
"Why does the siliary have to play me?" Yelu Yanchen was very indifferent and stroked his face and said with a smile, "The old man's decision is the answer. Why do you need to say more?"
"A great talent like your husband really needs to be cautious. Otherwise, it would be a pity if the pearl cast secretly. Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Wanyan Zonghan doesn't know Mr. Dacai, so he will let him succumb to the army in the record room."
"Huh! The old thief, even if I know my true identity, I won't build a knife or an arrow for him, let alone a firearm!" Yelu Yanchen said angrily, "Does the old man still think that he doesn't have killed enough people and committed enough crimes?"
"Sir, you are really righteous, and I admire you!" Bai Shu bowed his hands and said, "But Xiaosheng is very curious. Why did the gentleman only look at the master and readily agreed?
"Haha!" Ye Lv Yanchen laughed and said, "I'm so talented that I dare not boast. The old man has been in the workshop for most of his life. Maybe this pair of eyes stared at the subtle things and saw too much, so that people have some of their own opinions. In a word, the general is a wise man who deserves to be loyal all his life! It's a pity to see that the old man has been living for more than 60 years, but it's not until the end of the wind and candle that he can meet the Ming Lord! - The Lord is here, please be worshipped by the old man!"
Yelu Yanchen really fell to the ground at once.
Chu Tianya hurriedly held him, "Sir, it's heavy! Isn't this kind of gift to break the younger generation? Please get up quickly!"
"The minister is unique, and there is a world of difference. Old man, this is what it should be!" Yelu Yanchen got up and said, "In the future, I will completely entrust the rest of my life to the master!" I hope God's blessing can make the old man live a few more years to serve the Lord!"
"Okay, okay, that's great." Chu Tianya held Yelu Yanchen's hand, and he was indeed very excited. He turned his head and said to Bai Qian, "Jing Qian, you have made great contributions again! Recommending Mr. Yelü is far greater than the credit of winning ten cities! How can I reward you?"
Yelu Yanchen and Bai Xun laughed and said blankly, "Lord, I have to be the master's responsibility not to give up my confidant and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the military. It is also my duty to be virtuous and capable. What's more, the lord is the master, and the gentleman is a virtuous talent, just like King Wen of Zhou and Duke Jiang in those years. Even without Xiaosheng's recommendation, you will be able to meet sooner or later. Xiaosheng, I won't be greedy for this.
"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed in a good mood, "Don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and set up a banquet for your husband!"
"No, Lord." Yelu Yanchen waved his hand in a hurry. The situation was as if the eldest girl was going to get on the sedan chair, and he was a little embarrassed. He said, "I have always disliked such an occasion. There is really no need for a banquet. Now I only want a quiet fighting room, one or two children who serve the living, and then there are enough materials and equipment for me to continue to delve into what I have been passionate about all my life, which is the best reward and encouragement for me!"
"Okay, it's not difficult." Chu Tianya nodded and smiled, "In the future, the whole Tianji Palace will be yours. It used to be the residence of Lu Cunxingjun and Drunken Sword King Xue Yu in Qixingzhai, but now he has moved to Qingyunbao. It was transformed by me into a gunpowder factory. From then on, he was one of the great leaders in Qixingzhai, and Tianji Palace was his territory. No one can disturb you without my permission and your call. In addition, I will give you enough manpower and materials to provide you with as much convenience as possible, so that you can enjoy the happiness of your husband in his lifetime!"
"Thank you, Lord!" Yelu Yanchen was grateful and fell down again.
Chu Tianya picked him up for the third time and smiled and said, "Sir, if I have time sooner or later, I will go to Tianji Palace and ask for the virtue of gunpowder. Sir may not know that although I am not good at learning, I was taught by strangers in my early years, and I once learned some fur about gunpowder. And I also have a strong interest in this aspect. If you don't give up, just think of me as your student!"
"How dare you!" Yelu Yanchen hurriedly stepped back two steps and bowed his hand and said, "If you are interested, you can come to teach me at any time. I will know everything and say everything!"
"Okay, that's it!" Chu Tianya laughed and said, "Gingqian, I'll leave everything to you to arrange. In a word, as long as we can give it, we should do everything we can to give it to him!"
"Lord, don't worry. Xiaosheng also wants Mr. Yelü to accept me as a bad disciple! Apprentice, how dare you disrespect the teacher?" Bai Yu smiled and said, "Sir, if you need anything in the future, just tell me. Don't have any concerns and politeness. Otherwise, the lord can't forgive me."
"Ha ha, good!" Yelu Yanchen laughed cheerfully, and took a long breath. He was quite a little ambitious to get paid and raised his eyebrows. He said, "It is a blessing from the old man who can get the help of the military division and the kindness of the master in his later years!"
Later, Chu Tianya and Bai Xun personally sent Ye Lv Yanchen to Tianji Palace. Although the craftsmen there were driven away, there were still some servants and maids, all of which were handed over to Yelu Yanchen. In addition, Chu Tianya also specially selected four capable and confidant Khitan warriors from his own Hu Ben guards, and sent them to Yelu Yanchen as a personal guard and follower. Yelu Yanchen is also very satisfied with Tianji Palace. Although the previous craftsmen did not work hard, the "face project" has been done enough. There is almost everything Yelu Yanchen needs here.
The remaining thing is to discuss with Chu Tianya about how to improve gunpowder to enhance its power and develop a new type of firearms in the shortest possible time!
On that day, Chu Tianya and Bai Xi talked with Ye Lv Yanchen in Tianji Palace, and they were still not satisfied until late at night. By this time, Chu Tianya could be 100% sure that Ye Lu Yanchen, a hermit master, was the person he was looking for!
But it is far from enough to have such a "chief engineer". After all, what Chu Tianya needs now is not one or two powerful lethal firearms, but a real arsenal!
As a result, the job of recruiting craftsmen, apprentices and workers fell on Bai Shu's shoulders. Chu Tianya asked him to temporarily hand over all the work at hand to others to deal with, and make every effort to supervise the matter. It is necessary to recruit a reliable team from the people and the army in the shortest time, and surround Yelu Yanchen to serve him and learn from him.
When he went back to Qixingtang's residence at night, Chu Tianya felt as light as a swallow and was not tired at all. Today's unexpected surprise really made him overjoyed. This is a big stone that has been pressed on my heart for a long time, and it has been moved away at once.
But after calming down, Chu Tianya thought quietly. Bai Qi must have something to hide from him today. Metaphor, since he has known the existence and movement of Yelu Yanchen for a long time, why did he find Yelu Yanchen today and reveal it to the lord? As a white man, he has never done anything "confidential" behind his master's back. What's more, he knew that the master was worried about the gunpowder workshop, and he didn't dare to hide and cover it.
Chu Tianya thought about it, it is possible that Bai Xun just knew everything about Ye Lv Yanchen after seeing Ye Lv Yanchen.
That means he is lying. The so-called "Princess Xiao inadvertently said it when chatting with me before" is just a lie!
"This boy is really getting bolder and bolder. How dare he lie to me?" Chu Tianya was not angry, but smiled and added a trace of joy in his heart, "Does he still want to give me another unexpected surprise?"
Unconsciously returned to his residence. After the lord returned to the village, there were also the day and night guards of the Hu Ben Army here. The leader on duty today was A Nu.
"Lord." When Chu Tianya passed by Anu, he was happy but didn't see it. A Nu, who was usually silent, took the initiative to call him.
"What's the matter?" Chu Tianya stopped to ask him. Looking at his expression, it was really strange, as if he had something to say.
"Lord, I have something to say." Anu was also rude. After stroking his chest and bowing, he said bluntly.
"say."
"The lord should not have left the woman of the virgin in the room."
Chu Tianya was slightly stunned. Of course, he knew what Anu meant. Although Anu is now the leader of his confidant Guard and Hu Ben Army, he has never forgotten that he is the person of Princess Xiao. Now that Chu Tianya has taken in a woman who looks very similar to Xiao Linglong in his residence, it is impossible for Anu to have no idea.
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Can't you trust me?"
Anu was stunned and quickly bent down to worship, "I dare not!"
"Don't say dare or dare. You really can't trust me in your heart, can you?"
Anu took a breath and nodded: "Yes. The lord's blood is strong, and the woman is a little beautiful, and..."
"And it looks like Princess Xiao, isn't it?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Anu, you really don't know me yet. It's been a long time, and you won't have this kind of worry. I have my own reason for this matter. I won't say more about the rest."
"The lord doesn't have to explain it to his subordinates. He is a rude person, that is, he can say whatever he thinks. Everything is just for the good of the Lord and Princess Xiao. Anu Dao.
Chu Tianya nodded, patted Anu's strong arm again, and walked into the room.
Wanyan Deike sat at the table in the living room and saw Chu Tianya coming in and hurriedly stood up to meet him.
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "You should have heard my conversation with Anu just now, right?"
Wanyan Daike nodded indifferently, went forward and closed the door, changed his shoes for Chu Tianya, and then made tea for him, so he went into the room to make the bed. It seems that nothing has happened.
"I'm in a very good mood today. Go and order some wine and vegetables, and you can have two drinks with me. Chu Tianya sat at the table, but he didn't mean to go to bed.
Wanyan Daike nodded. After going out for a while, he took a few vegetables and two pots of wine from the kitchen. Chu Tianya asked her to sit down and drink wine.
"Do you know why I'm in such a good mood today?" Chu Tianya played with the wine glass in his hand, smiled deeply and looked at Wanyan Daike.
Wanyan Daike sat upright and shook his head gently without squinting.
"Because it seems that I'm about to find her." Chu Tianya smiled and drank a whole glass of wine.
Wanyan Daike trembled for a while. Hesitantly stretched out his hand to pick up the glass and drank the whole glass, but he choked and coughed.
The Fen wine of Qixingzhai has been distilled by Chu Tianya and is relatively strong.
"Are you disappointed or happy for me?" Chu Tianya looked at Wanyan Daike quietly and asked.
Wanyan Daike shook his head and nodded again.
"You're not disappointed. Are you happy for me?"
Wanyan Daike nodded.
"Hypocrisy." Chu Tianya sneered, "If she comes back, you will completely become dispensable and become a raccoon woman in Qixingzhai, and you won't even stay here again. Have you ever thought about it?"
Wanyan Deco nodded and lowered his head. Tears were already beside his eyelids.
"No crying. I'm in a very good mood today. Don't ruin my interest. Chu Tianya was deliberately talking coldly.
Wanyan Daike raised his face, took a deep breath to hold back the tears in his eyes, smiled reluctantly, and raised his glass to toast Chu Tianya's wine.
"That's right." Chu Tianya smiled, drank the whole cup again, and then said, "It's a pity that you can't talk. Otherwise, I really want to know what you are thinking now.
Wanyan Deke sat up straight and pointed to his eyes with his hands.
Chu Tianya looked into her eyes.
That's right. A person's expression can be disguised, words can be deceived, but only the eyes can't deceive people.
Chu Tianya read the complex emotions in the world from her eyes. There is sadness, loss, joy and gratification, and more importantly, it is an unspeakable entanglement and confusion.
This kind of look only belongs to those who are disappointed in love and those who want to fall in love but can't.
At this moment, Chu Tianya's heart suddenly throbled.
Does this Xiao Linglong substitute, a woman who has an unknown origin, gets along with each other for a short time, and is despised or even humiliated by me, really fallen in love with me?
But why?
