The iron pipe with a spiral positive wire on the inner wall is still being tested, and it has failed many times.

Juan was struck to the point of doubting his life, and sometimes he suddenly had a hopeless thought while doing something. When he was a young man, he and his family were displaced. In order to escape the war, he came to Kucha City from Dashi, and ended up losing his conscience in the Anxi Festival.

The envoy assigned him such an extremely difficult task again.

This is because God has not given him a way to survive.

Not only do we have to make a straight iron pipe, but the inner wall also has a spiral positive wire. How is it possible?

When Gu Qing arrived at the blacksmith shop at the corner outside the city, Juan was squatting on the ground wiping tears. There was a pile of scrapped iron pipes piled up beside him.

Juan felt that this Mr. Gu might be discriminating against his nationality and deliberately found an impossible task as an excuse to not let him live.

"Discrimination is inevitable, but I have never discriminated against craftsmen. Really, old Hu, think about it, if a hozen only eats bananas and makes no contribution to mankind, of course it will inevitably be laughed at by humans and look down upon from the bottom of my heart.

But if in addition to eating bananas, this hozen can also walk through fire rings, ride horses, clap hands, and laugh, then this hozen is at least a treasure and may not be respected, but it will definitely be treated well." Gu Qing said in relief.

road.

Juan was comforted and felt better at first, but after sipping it carefully, he felt that there was still a strong malice in these words.

"Do you people in the Tang Dynasty all talk like this?" Juan said in half-baked Guanzhong dialect.

Gu Qing smiled reservedly: "No, I'm the only one who speaks more freshly and refinedly."

Juan shook his head, if you weren't the military governor...

"Master Hou, I can't help you with the iron pipe you want..." Juan's eyes turned red. Gu Qing's harsh request was a devastating blow to his lifelong craftsmanship.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Don't deny yourself in a hurry, think of more solutions, I won't rush you, take your time, you will always get better. It is said that practice makes perfect, maybe if you fail more, you will not be far from success."

Juan hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Master Hou's requirements are too high. I have been working in iron all my life and have never encountered such a difficult object. Is it okay to say that the iron pipe is straight? The spiral Yang line on the inner wall is really difficult to make.

.”

Gu Qing thought about how the early colonists made gun barrels in a primitive environment without machine tools. It seemed that there were several methods for rifling. In the early days, the hook-knife broaching method was mainly used.

Is this the simplest method? Can it be done with simple tools without a machine tool? And after it is made, it is similar to a primitive machining tool. This tool makes the inner wall of the iron pipe, which is better than the blacksmith manually chiseling it out.

The Yang line is much more precise.

So Gu Qing suggested: "How about making a simple machine? Choose a pull rod that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the iron pipe. Place a hook-shaped cutter on the pull rod? Then put the iron pipe around the pull rod and pull it spirally? In this way, the inner wall of the iron pipe will

A regular spiral negative line is formed, and by fine-tuning and pulling more than a hundred times, the positive line on the inner wall of the iron pipe can be slowly formed."

Huan looked confused. Whether Gu Qing's words were taken apart or put together, he couldn't understand every word.

Gu Qing had no choice but to explain to him in detail, and squatted on the ground and drew a simple drawing for him with branches. Huan finally understood, and his expression showed a sudden look.

"Master Hou? I understand. I am willing to try again. If it still doesn't work..."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "If it still doesn't work, don't blame me for discriminating against you. I thought you could at least get into the fire ring? But it turned out that you can only eat bananas? Teach me how to look up to you?"

Juan blurted out without thinking: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis? I will definitely learn how to get through the ring of fire."

"Doesn't it have to be so simple? Just make the iron pipe, and drilling fire rings can be a hobby. There is no need to force it."

…………

Every time he sat in the Fuzhi Inn, Gu Qing's mood was always very contradictory, feeling guilty but confident at the same time.

I feel guilty because I always eat for free. Although Mr. Gu is not short of money, he still needs a little fun in life. For example, eating for free is a small fun. In the so many bloody plots in the previous life, eating the King's meal is indispensable.

A man and woman in love run away after dinner in a restaurant. They are not ashamed but proud. They think they are romantic, but in fact they are immoral.

Gu Qing originally wanted to give money, but since Huangfu Sisi arbitrarily and unreasonably took away his first kiss, Gu Qing felt that there was no need to rush to give him the meal money. The first kiss was priceless. If the first kiss must be marketed, it would be worth the money.

The annual meal money is not too much, right?

"Is it reasonable to eat and drink for free?" Huangfu Sisi rolled his eyes at Angel Jin, charming and charming.

Gu Qing buried his head and picked out a piece of green vegetables from the meat, threw it aside, and said calmly: "You can go to the government and sue me."

Huangfu Sisi laughed angrily: "On this land of Anxi, you are the government and the king's law. I dare to sue you, but I am afraid that I will not see the sun tomorrow?"

"It's not like I'm going to jail for a few days. Don't think of me as evil." Gu Qing picked out another piece of green vegetables and looked a little dissatisfied: "I only eat meat, not vegetables. What do you mean? You have to force me.

I flipped the table, right?"

"Master Marquis, you are really... vegetables are much more expensive than meat in the desert. I kindly left some for you, but you are still picky about food..."

"I finally evolved to the top of the food chain. Is it because I became a vegetarian?" Gu Qing became increasingly dissatisfied.

Huangfu Sisi covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Master Marquis, you look like this... Oh, don't make trouble. Now the people and businessmen in the entire Qiuci City are praising the Marquis. They all say that the Marquis dared to fight for five thousand horses.

Hexi Jiedushi started a war, which shows how protective the marquis is. He also said that the marquis is as fierce as fire, fair and strict, and cannot suffer any loss. With the marquis in charge of Anxi, other festivals will not be able to take advantage of us in the future. Hou

The people of Anxi will be blessed if I serve as a governor."

"If the people were taught that the fiery-tempered Lord Gu was such a picky eater and often refused to pay for meals, I'm afraid many people would be disappointed."

Gu Qing curled his lips: "So what if I'm disappointed? We're not relatives. Do I need to live to show them? Well, I heard it. You're going roundabout ways to collect debts again. Ha, woman, you didn't succeed in arousing my anger."

Note, I don’t plan to repay the money I owe you at this time.”

Huangfu Sisi rolled his eyes at him and hummed: "Anyway, when I want to get married, if Lord Marquis still doesn't pay back the money, I will pack my bags and marry Lord Marquis, and I will take up the title of concubine in his room."

, after all, the dowry has been paid to the Marquis in advance, and the Marquis has to marry me even if he doesn’t want to."

Gu Qing's expression suddenly became serious. After saying this, he really had to seriously consider repaying the money. How could he let this woman get him so easily just for a small debt?

Gu Qing thought for a while and said seriously: "You are blackmailing people with debts. I will report it to the official. According to the "Tang Code", anyone who blackmails someone with twenty sticks can move thousands of miles and will not be able to pay them back for five years."

Huangfu Sisi was so angry that she wanted to hit someone: "It's obviously you who owes the debt, but I have to be punished. Why?"

"So, fellow women must also be literate and understand the law, otherwise the world will be very cruel to you."

Huangfu Sisi blurted out: "I am literate and have read as many books as you..."

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Oh? She turns out to be a hidden version of a talented woman. I'm disrespectful..."

Huangfu Sisi suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and looked a little panicked.

Gu Qing looked at the bustling street outside the store and said leisurely: "A deserted city, a small shop on the border, is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. Even the small shopkeeper is a strange woman full of poems and books. What an honor it is to be able to rule this city."

Huangfu smoothed his hair in a disguised manner, remained silent for a long time, and said quietly: "Master Marquis, I want to hide something from you, but... I have some difficulties."

Gu Qing smiled faintly: "I know that your origin is mysterious, and I know that you must have difficulties, but I also know that you are not a bad person after all. From the first day I met you, I can see that there is resentment in your eyes, but there is no malice, I guess

Your life experience is an extraordinary story."

Huangfu Sisi said softly: "Master Hou, in the future... I will slowly tell you to Master Hou."

"Don't force it, just say it when you want to say it..." Gu Qing added: "I am the Lord of Anxi. If you are bullied or controlled by others, you might as well tell me and I can make the decision for you."

Huangfu Sisi hesitated for a long time and said softly: "If my existence cannot be tolerated in the world, what should I do with you?"

"Not tolerated in the world? There are so many evil people in the world living well, why can't you be tolerated in the world? Haha, what a joke." Gu Qing laughed, stared into her eyes and said slowly: "No matter you are

What is your origin and what have you done in the past? I can protect you on this land of Anxi."

Huangfu Sisi's eyes turned red and she choked with sobs: "Master Marquis...why are you so nice to me?"

Gu Qing sighed: "It's not easy for you to make a living alone in this desert city. I grew up being bullied. I don't want anyone to repeat my experience. Those memories are not good."

…………

Late at night, at midnight, Jiedu envoy's mansion.

Pei Zhounan and Bian Lingcheng both lived in the backyard of the Jiedushi Mansion, but the real master of Anxi, Gu Qing, used to live in the camp outside the city. This fact made Pei Zhounan feel very bad, and he felt like occupying a magpie's nest.

sense of uneasiness.

Late at night, Bian Lingcheng invited Pei Zhounan to his wing. The two sat under the candlestick. Bian Lingcheng took a memorial from the table and handed it to Pei Zhounan.

"Censor Pei, regarding the matter of Gu Qing raising troops without permission to provoke the Hexi Army, the lower official has written a memorial, which details the cause and effect of Gu Qing's raising of troops, as well as the generals of the Anxi Army who accompanied him, please Censor Pei to read."

Ling Cheng's smile was somewhat flattering.

Pei Zhounan took the memorial and read it carefully, his brows gradually wrinkled.

"Border Supervision Army, I'm afraid some of the wording in the memorial is not very appropriate..." Pei Zhounan pointed to the memorial and said in a deep voice: "It is true that Gu Qing raised troops without authorization, but it cannot be defined as a 'provocation'. There is a reason for raising troops.

He is doing it for five thousand war horses. This reason must be written clearly and cannot be summed up in one stroke."

Bian Lingcheng smiled and said: "Even if it's for war horses, it's true to raise troops. Since we raise troops, it's a 'provocation'. Didn't Yushi Pei always want to overthrow Gu Qing? This time Gu Qing can be considered as ours."

Got the handle."
