Through Time Chapter 81

Hearing these words, Ji Wushuang, however, said with wide eyes that

“Senior Brother Xu Yue, so you do know?”

“Then where can you buy it!”

Xu Yue knew that he had lost his tongue and coughed falsely before saying that

“This, I mean, I don’t know, I’ve never even heard of this kind of thing.”

“Wushuang, you are now also the holy maiden of our farming family, what are you doing thinking about this?”

“Well, I won’t talk to you anymore, Elder Tian told me to go to the chief’s field of growing potatoes every night and keep watch.”

“I’ll pack my things first.”

After saying that, Xu Yue fled into his room as if he had been there.

Ji Wushuang, with that keen intuition, however, knew that Xu Yue was not telling the truth.

He got up directly and with a gentle leap, he went up to the other party’s roof with great skill.

Leaning down, she uncovered a tile and looked towards the inside of the house.

He saw Xu Yue, who had originally let out a righteous cry, now had a thieving head and was pulling out a small porcelain vase from his arms.

Then he put it into a small cupboard in the house, and locked it with a lock.

After doing so, Xu Yue wiped a handful of sweat from his head and said.

“Why does Wushuang suddenly want these things.”

These days they, the farmers, were so focused on the potatoes that they hadn’t paid any attention to what was going on at the farm.

Nor did they know about the gossip on the stately home.

Watching Xu Yue prepare to come out, Ji Wushuang immediately went back to her position in advance.

Of course, the location of that small box was already in Ji Wushuang’s mind.

At this moment, Zhao Lang had already brought Wang Cai with him and arrived directly at the small courtyard where Xu Gui and the others were.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Xu Gui and several other people in the courtyard, but they were not moving at all, not to mention that no one was talking.

There was no life to speak of, and the scene was somewhat ominous.

When Xu Gui saw Zhao Lang, a burst of divine light suddenly erupted from those godless eyes.

Running directly towards Zhao Lang, he even voiced to

“Gongzi! Your Excellency! We are useful! We are useful!”

The situation was much the same as when the other side had first entered the manor.

Instead, Zhao Lang was now a little worried about these old magicians, whether they were still suitable for making gunpowder or not.

“Old man, take it easy for now, I have a few questions I want to ask you.”

Zhao Lang intended to feel out the other party’s background first.

“These three things, do you know what they are? ”

Zhao Long took out the charcoal, sulphur and saltpeter that he had prepared in advance.

In their most primitive state, these things were relatively common.

For example, nitrate is something that can be found in pig pens and huts, as long as you don’t mind getting dirty.

When Xu Gui saw these three items, he first stared at them and then said, with a touch of sadness

“Is your Excellency humiliating me? Although we are all already in a state of disrepair, this mere saltpeter, sulphur and charcoal.”

“How could we not know.”

At once Zhao Lang’s heart burst with joy, it was good to know, and he said that

“I have a recipe that I need you to make exactly the same.”

Xu Gui’s eyes lit up and he said.

“Don’t worry, Your Excellency, whatever the elixir is! We will definitely be able to make it.”

“It’s just that we still need your Excellency to provide the potion furnace and the venue.”

When Xu Gui said this, an extremely confident aura naturally flowed out.

He was the master of all the magicians in the world, and several of the others were also the best magicians in the Great Qin.

Otherwise, they would not have been chosen by Qin Shi Huang.

Now, according to Zhao Gao, if he could help this duke, they would have a chance to live.

At least, their families would survive.

Zhao Lang, however, shook his head and said

“What I want doesn’t require an alchemy furnace.”

Xu Gui froze for a moment and said that

“Then how do I refine the pills?”

Zhao Lang laughed and

“Then you won’t have to worry about it.”

“Here is the recipe, you guys just follow the requirements.”

“Don’t worry, if this thing works out, I will ensure that you will have no worries in your future generations.”

Xu Gui took the recipe and returned.

“Many thanks, my lord.”

Zhao Lang nodded his head and

“After that, there will be another place for you at the manor.”

“The ingredients will be sent there as well.”

He wasn’t going to leave it at the stately home.

After ordering a few more things, Zhao Lang left.

Xu Gui took the recipe and spoke to the few warlocks in the courtyard who had had their tongues cut out.

“Gentlemen, after waiting for so long, our lives, our families, are at stake here.”

“Use your lives to make this right.”

After leaving this courtyard, Zhao Lang did not go back directly, but came to the young girl Corn’s place.

“Family head, you’re here.”

Seeing Zhao Lang, Asuka extremely cheerfully walked over to greet him.

“Well, are you better?”

Zhao Lang asked with a smile, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Su walked a little shakily, although it was very slight, but it had left some roots of illness after all.

Su showed a smile and said that

“House Master, there is nothing wrong with me anymore, I will be able to continue with my training in a few days.”

“There is no hurry about the training first.”

Zhao Lang, however, waved his hand and hesitated for a moment before continuing to say that

“Su, I have a task for you, but this one might be a bit harsh.”

Asu’s eyes lit up at once and he said that

“House Master, just say the word! Asuka will definitely complete it!”

She wasn’t afraid of suffering, she was afraid that Zhao Lang would give up on her and then raise her as an invalid.

These days, watching her companions read and train, she didn’t know how envious she was in her heart.

Zhao Long looked at Su and said to

“I want you to choose a few sisters and go and serve as apprentices to others.”

Although Xu Gui and the others were a reward from the system, they were not brought up by themselves after all.

How could he feel comfortable just handing over a great killing weapon like black gunpowder, which was a matter of qi luck, to someone else?

When he said before that he would let the other party have a trouble-free afterlife, he also had another layer of meaning.

That is, from now on, no one would ever be able to leave his control.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su nodded his head and said.

“Family head, don’t worry, I will be able to complete my mission!”

Zhao Lang stroked Su’s head and smiled as he said that

“I trust you.”

To Zhao Lang’s surprise, on the same day, Su took some young girls and went to the small courtyard where Xu Gui was.

Then the study began.

Knowing this news, Zhao Lang could only give a bitter laugh.

Early the next morning, Fusu left with his teacher.

Seeing that his teacher was in a hurry, it seemed that he had been tossed around enough.

Zhao Lang didn’t care, he had a lot of things to keep him busy.

But this fell on the eyes of the crowd, and it was a different story.

Even Gongzi Fusu had suffered a loss here, what was Zhao Lang’s background?

Time passed in a flash.

Ten days later, Zhao Long got the news from Su.

The first batch of ingredients had already been made according to the recipe.

Zhao Long stood up in excitement straight away and was about to go take a look when Wang Cai ran in and said that

“My lord, there are two young men outside begging to see you, saying that they are members of the farming family.”

“Nongjia clansmen?”

Zhao Lang understood after a brief thought, he had previously asked Ji Wushuang to recruit a few Nong Clan disciples to share the affairs first.

“Mm, I know, bring them to the guest hall first, I’ll go there afterwards.”

Now of course, they had to see the gunpowder first.

“By the way, did they say their names again?”

Zhao Lang asked casually.

Wangcai returned that

“One of them is called Chen Sheng and one is called Wu Guang.”

Zhao Lang’s legs, which were just about to step out, stopped instantly, and his mind was left with one question, the

“These two have come here, what about the great uprising at the end of the f*cking Qin Dynasty?”
