persuade?explain?
It doesn't work at all!
Isn't Liu Shouyou Zhang Cheng and Gao Wu?But Zhang Cheng and Gao Wu are bandits. Zhang Cheng and Gao Wu can fight for a little hope, but Liu Shouyou can't.

"Then the only way is to force it! But how to force it?"

Luo Xin sat like this for a whole night, until dawn when his brows were furrowed, and there was a glint of joy in his eyes, but there was more worry between his brows.

"Bet!"

Luo Xin jumped up, his eyes were red from the heat, but his spirit was very excited.Ask Lu Daqing to call Lu Zhonglian and Liang Dazhu in, take out the gold and silver, give them instructions, and the two leave in a hurry.And Luo Xin just fell on the bed at this time, and soon fell into a sound sleep.

It was dawn the next day.

Luo Xin went out alone, and went straight to the barracks to see his elder brother.But I learned that my elder brother took people out of the city to inspect.Seeing that the elder brother really got the opportunity to patrol outside, Luo Xin was secretly happy, so he asked the soldiers of the barracks to tell Luo Qing, and after returning to the city, he would go home. .

At night, Luo Qing came back in a hurry. After visiting his parents, he came to Luo Xin's study.He didn't speak when he entered the door, but just looked at Luo Xin.Luo Xin knew his elder brother's temper, so he didn't care about it, he just asked:
"Brother, how many people do you have now?"

"Originally there were only 500 infantry, but later General Xu assigned me [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, and now I have [-] under my command."

Luo Xin frowned slightly and said, "Can't we get some more soldiers from General Xu?"

"Impossible!" Luo Qing simply shook his head without explaining.

"Five hundred is five hundred!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "After you leave the city with people tomorrow, choose a hundred trustworthy people to go to our family's manor in Shanglin Village, and they will live there often in the future. Will there be any problems? "

Luo Qing thought for a while and said: "There will be no problem. I will tell General Xu to send those people out as secret sentries to investigate the enemy's tracks, and I will take the rest of the people to investigate every day. General Xu also knows that I am President Bai. Your confidant will not pursue such matters."

"That's good!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "Brother, if you find that someone is watching you, or watching our house in Shanglin Village, just pretend you didn't see it."

Luo Qing raised his eyebrows, but he believed in Luo Xin, so he just nodded without asking.

"I will return to Shanglin Village in two days. We will contact you at any time."

Luofu.

Under the shadow of a big tree, Liu Shouyou stood there looking at Luo Xin's yard, frowning slightly.

"Why did this Luo Xin come home suddenly? And he entered Luo Xin's study as soon as he came back? Luo Xin saw through my identity yesterday, went out early this morning, and Luo Qing returned home at night. What's the secret here?"

"Ta Tata..."

There was a sound of footsteps, and Liu Shouyou's figure disappeared in a flash in the dark night. Luo Qing came out from Luo Xin's yard, then left the house, got on his horse and left.

Outside the Luo residence, Liu Shouyou's figure appeared, watching Luo Qing's leaving back, he frowned, and then his figure retreated into the shadows and disappeared.

In Luo Xin's study.

Luo Xin stood in front of the window, looking at the night sky outside the window, a layer of worry shrouded his brows.

"Then Liu Shouyou should make arrangements?" Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Even if you didn't pay attention this time, you will definitely pay attention next time."

Sunrise, sunset.

Inside a restaurant box.

Liu Shouyou sat there pouring himself a drink, when there was a knock on the door, there was a lot of trouble, so Liu Shouyou put down the wine glass in his hand and said:

"Come in!"

The door opened and closed quickly, a man wearing a hat came in, cupped his fists and said:
"See Master Tongzhi."

Liu Shouyou stared at the past and said, "What did you find?"

"That Luo Qing left one hundred soldiers in the Luo Mansion of Shanglin Village."

"Infantry or cavalry?"

"infantry!"

"What about Luo Qing?"

"He has returned to the city."

"Does Xu Zhen know?"

"The news has come back from the insider. Luo Qing explained to Xu Zhen that he sent those 100 people out to turn them into secret sentries. So Xu Zhen probably didn't know that Luo Qing put those 100 people into his home."

"What are these two brothers going to do?" Liu Shouyou narrowed his eyes slightly, and said half aloud, "Send someone to monitor the Luo family in Shanglin Village, and monitor Luo Qing and Luo Xin."

"Yes!"

Two more days.

Lu Zhonglian came back alone, and entered Luo Xin's study with a large package on his back, while Liu Shouyou was still in the box listening to a Jin Yiwei report to him.

"My lord, Luo Xin's guards Lu Zhonglian and Liang Dazhu returned to Luo's house in Shanglin Village with twenty carts in the early hours of this morning. There are some clay pots."

Liu Shouyou's brows twitched, his gaze sharpened, and he blurted out, "He's making gunpowder."

Gunpowder is no longer a rarity in Ming Dynasty now, not to mention that the Ming government can make gunpowder, even the folks can make gunpowder, but the Ming government makes gunpowder for muskets, while the folks make firecrackers.As Jin Yiwei, he naturally knows what gunpowder is made of.

If Luo Xin only bought a little, even if he bought gunpowder directly, Liu Shouyou would not pay attention as long as the quantity was not too much, but Luo Xin bought too much.

What is he going to do?
At this time, Luo Xin was making gunpowder in his own yard, and it was even more powerful black gunpowder.The material was brought back by Lu Zhonglian, and the weight is not much, but it is enough to make a land mine.Luo Xin knew all about the method and ratio of black powder. It wasn't that he had made it in his previous life, but the important role played by gunpowder in Chinese and foreign history made him conduct some serious research.

He was tinkering, but saw Lu Daqing sneaking over and whispering, "Liu Shouyou is back."

Luo Xin raised his eyebrows, nodded and continued to tinker, made some black powder according to the ratio, then brought the clay pot, put some small pieces of gravel and black powder into the pot, and then put the mouth Sealed, leaving long leads.Nodding in satisfaction, he picked up the clay pot and asked Lu Daqing to hold a torch, then placed the pot in the center of the yard, lit the fuse with the torch, and ran towards the house with Lu Daqing.

The lead wire left by Luo Qing was very long. When Luo Xin and Lu Daqing ran into the room and looked out the window, the lead wire hadn't burned to the clay pot.At this time, not only the two of them, but also Lu Zhonglian, Die'er and Chunhua were all lying on the window looking at the clay pot in the distance outside, they didn't know what Luo Xin had come up with.
