Doctor Li thought for a while and said, "Caomin is going to go back to study. His body is caused by eating messy things all year round. Although there are signs of poisoning, the poisoning is neither serious nor fatal. As for how he is crazy , Caomin can't estimate it. But... Caomin smelled it when he came in. There is a strong sulfur smell here."

"Sulfur smell? What is that?" Qin Fang was puzzled.

Dr. Li said: "The grass people see the situation in this place, it is a Taoist temple, and this house has a dan furnace. Combined with the smell of sulfur here, I boldly suspect that the sulphur is used for alchemy. It is recorded in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" that sulphur is a Blindly a drug can be used to change the properties of the medicine. However, if the sulfur is too much, it will be poisonous. Just now Caomin said that this person is poisoned, and it is estimated that the smell of sulfur is too much."

Qin Fang: "Really?"

Dr. Li said: "The smell came from there. Now that the smell has not dissipated, it is estimated that there is still sulfur there. General, let's go and have a look."

Qin Fang: "Well."

Dr. Li followed the smell and led the way to other rooms, and then his eyes lit up: "A lot of sulfur and saltpeter."

Qin Fang asked, "What are the yellow stones and the white stones?"

Doctor Li laughed: "The general doesn't know anything, the white one is saltpeter and the yellow one is sulfur. Both sulfur and saltpeter can be used as medicines to improve the medicinal properties, but the grass-folk didn't expect that there are so many sulfur and saltpeter here. But congratulations."

Qin Fang said: "Not only this room, but other rooms also have sulfur and saltpeter."

Hearing this, Dr. Li was even more delighted: "Just, why are there so many sulfur and saltpeter here? Logically speaking, the possibility of transporting it from the bottom of the mountain is not high. If it is for alchemy, the sulfur and saltpeter are transported from the bottom of the mountain. On such a high mountain, it would be better to concoct pills directly under the mountain."

When Qin Fang heard this, he suddenly had an idea: "Could there be sulfur and saltpeter near here?"

Dr. Li believes that this is also possible.

Qin Fang went out: "Xiaowei Lu."

"General?" Colonel Lu came in from outside.

Qin Fang said: "Go on and ask all the soldiers to start searching the mountain, looking for these two kinds of small stones, the yellow one is sulfur and the white saltpeter. Doctor Li said that this can be used as a blind medicine, so you should be careful. But this An inhalation overdose of yellow is toxic, so you should be careful too."

Captain Lu: "Yes."

Dr. Li took out the paper and prescribed the prescription: "General, this is the medicine for that person. You have to send someone down the mountain to get the medicine."

Qin Fang gave the prescription to one of the soldiers: "Go get the medicine."

Soldier: "Yes."

Qin Fang has no idea of ​​taking people away for the time being. He doesn't know the origin or identity of the other party. It is safer to keep locked here, but this tiger is a danger. And now, tigers don't eat wild boar legs. After thinking about it, Qin Fang said to Dr. Li, "Dr. Li, let's get out of this place first. After the tiger falls, we will control this place. It's too dangerous to leave the tiger there."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Li said, "The general is going to bring down the tiger?"

Qin Fang's face was a little red, embarrassed: "There are still some of the Mongolian sweat medicine and intoxication medicine before. After we leave, we will use the intoxication smoke to put the tiger down." Anyway... Although it is a trivial thing, he uses it very smoothly. of.

Doctor Li doesn't think there is anything that can be successful without a single soldier, so why not use it?

So Qin put down the order and ignited the drug in the Taoist temple, and then they all withdrew from the Taoist temple.

When the tiger saw that they were gone, it didn't respond. It went back to its own house and lay down. After half an hour, Qin went in and saw that the tiger had already been attacked.

Qin Fang: "come here, make a cage and lock the tiger, but don't hurt it, and bring the fresh meat to it at night. By the way, put it in the same room with the chain man."

Soldier: "Yes."

After the cage for the tiger was finished, the tiger hadn't woken up yet, and it was already dark. Qin Fang left some soldiers here to protect Dr. Li and went down the mountain by himself.

When Qin Fang returned to the General's Mansion, the sky was completely dark.

"The general is back."

There was a cry from the door of the General's Mansion. The voice was heavier than usual. If it was a smaller mansion, it was estimated that everyone could hear it.

Qin Fang paused: "Uncle Hong is very angry today."

Uncle Hong smiled and said: "Where is the order from the wife. If you come back, you have to shout louder. No, you didn't come back for dinner today, and the wife came to the door to see it several times."

Qin Fang hurriedly walked inside when he heard it.

Although Uncle Hong's cry did not reach Yang Haiyan, the guards patrolling in the house heard it and went to the inner courtyard to tell Yang Haiyan: "Madam, the general is back, and the voice has already come from Uncle Hong."

Yang Haiyan had already eaten, and was taking a walk with Qin Siya to digest food. When she heard that Qin Fang was back, she let Qin Siya go back to the yard, and then ordered the servants to put the warm dishes on, and went to pick up Qin Fang by herself.

However, before Yang Haiyan walked out of the yard, she saw Qin Fang coming back. She took a few steps forward and said, "Why did you come back? Don't tell anyone to come back." Knowing that he had gone to the Beast Mountain, and before he returned at this point, she would think about other things, worrying that he would be in danger.

Hearing the concern in her voice, Qin Fang was also very apologetic: "Yanyan, I'm busy today, I've been on the top of the mountain, and everyone in the barracks was called by me to search the mountain, so I didn't have time to come here, so I'm worrying you. "

Yang Haiyan could understand when he heard his explanation. When something is busy, where can you take care of these. "You're fine, I just want you to be fine."

Qin Fang took her hand: "don't worry, I will remember it."

The two entered the yard.

Qin Fang didn't have enough to eat at noon, and climbing the mountain today also consumes a lot of energy, so his stomach is already flattened by hunger. As soon as he smells the fragrance of the rice, his stomach growls. He was used to being faceless and skinless in front of her, but he still had to maintain his image: "The cakes and biscuits at noon were eaten, and I wasn't full."

Yang Haiyan listened, but she couldn't hear what he meant. She said thoughtfully, "Who goes too far and grabs the husband's food?" After saying that, she also gave him a bowl of soup, "Drink the soup first to pad your stomach."

The soup is shredded chicken soup, which is very delicious and is slowly boiled with a small fire.

Qin Fang took a sip, and after several sips in a row, his stomach became more comfortable, and then he said, "It wasn't robbed, something happened in Beast Mountain today..." Then he explained the situation of Beast Mountain again.

Hearing this, Yang Haiyan hurriedly said to the outside, "Mother Lian."

Madam Lian responded at the door: "Madam?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Mother Lian, you can send someone to Xiaowei Lv's house and Xiaowei Yang's house to say, Lv Xiaowei and Yang Xiaowei are busy at the moment, they will be fine, so that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Yang are not worried."

Sister Lian: "Yes."

Qin Fang heard: "I forgot about this." The man is indeed not so careful about some things.

Yang Haiyan heard it and said, "Xiang Gong is someone who does big things. How could a little girl like me remember trivial things?"

Qin Fang immediately said: "Where, Yanyan is the smartest person, how can I compare with Yanyan."

The corners of Yang Haiyan's mouth were raised to the sky, this person is really more and more able to speak. But: "You said that you found sulfur and saltpeter in that Taoist temple?"

Yang Haiyan was still very hard at studying back then. Her great-grandmother died and she was an orphan. She had no other way out but to study, so she studied without sleep or food, so that her grades were very good. Even after more than ten years, some knowledge has been forgotten, but some knowledge is remembered, such as gunpowder.

Gunpowder was first discovered by the Chinese during the Western Han Dynasty. Moreover, sulfur and saltpeter are important materials for making gunpowder.

It's just that Qiguo doesn't have gunpowder yet.

It's a bit strange that Qiguo already has firecrackers, so how come there is no gunpowder? The firecrackers of Qiguo are Chinese fireworks, but the manufacturing principle of firecrackers is similar to that of gunpowder, but the amount of material is not as large as that of gunpowder, and the power is not as large as that of gunpowder.

In this way, Qiguo has firecrackers, why is there no gunpowder?

Yang Haiyan did not understand this question. But: "Master, do you know what firecrackers are made of?"

Qin Fang was taken aback: "I don't know." Ashamed, does his wife want to test him? Probably not, his wife knows that he has no talent. Take poetry, for example, he did it once.

Yang Haiyan said vaguely: "I read in the miscellaneous notes that firecrackers are made of sulfur and saltpeter."

Qin Fang did not understand what Yang Haiyan meant when he heard it.

Seeing this, Yang Haiyan made it clearer: "So, sir, I have an idea. Since we have sulfur and saltpeter in our country, why don't we make big firecrackers? When fighting the enemy like this, we directly bomb them with big explosions. Now, isn't it faster? It's just that I don't understand, why doesn't the court make big firecrackers?"

Qin Fang was stunned when he heard this, then put down the bowl and clasped Yang Haiyan's shoulder: "Yanyan, you are so smart, so smart..." He happily kissed Yang Haiyan's face, and then ran away Go out, "Yanyan, I'm busy, I won't be back today, you are going to bed early, don't wait for me."

"Xiang Gong..." Yang Haiyan chased out, but the man had already run away.

Yang Haiyan shook her head helplessly, this man... but she smiled again, it would be good if he understood what she meant.

Although Qin Fang didn't know that Yang Haiyan reminded him on purpose, he did think of it. Why didn't the imperial court make big firecrackers to deal with the enemy army? Because there is not enough sulfur and saltpeter. Why did King Liang build the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, because there is sulfur and saltpeter there. If the Taoist temple is built at the foot of the mountain, and sulfur and saltpeter are transported from the mountain, it will definitely be discovered. In this way, the court knows the existence of sulfur and saltpeter, and will definitely come to ask for it.

King Liang did not want to hand over the sulfur and saltpeter to the court.

Of course, this is Qin Fang's idea. But it wasn't all that important. He felt that his guess was right. There must be a lot of sulfur and saltpeter near the Taoist temple.
