    The first emperor of Qin and Emperor Wu of Han were keen on alchemy, so there were many alchemists among the people, called alchemists.

    Historians generally believe that gunpowder was accidentally discovered by alchemists, and that it was discovered around the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, or earlier.  Because the so-called elixirs are very mysterious, these people like to keep secrets.

    Liu Cong discovered from the methods of those alchemists that they indeed mixed sulfur, saltpeter, carbon, etc. together, and called the powder they ground into elixirs.  Because these elixirs can catch fire easily, they are also called fire medicines, which is probably where the name gunpowder comes from.

    To make gunpowder, the key is the proportion of these elements. Liu Cong gave them some suggestions and tried to make these flaming powders emit dazzling light and loud sounds.  Because in the Tang Dynasty, fireworks had already appeared, and black gunpowder was also used when digging mountains and building roads.

    From the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, it took more than 800 years. It was not because of how difficult it was to invent gunpowder, but because the goal of the alchemists was to refine the elixir of immortality, so they did not invent gunpowder prematurely.

    After Liu Cong gave such guidance, he believed that it would not take long for them to complete it.

    After all the Ministry of Industry outside Xiangyang moved to Luoyang, Liu Cong finally stopped his lavish life and "inspected" each department one by one.

    Brewing, weapon making, farm tool making, paper making and printing, alchemy, etc., these are his lifeblood!  I bring myself money, or better equip my army.

    The craftsmen were all very excited when they saw Liu Cong coming. The masters in charge of each department introduced their new products in detail, so when Liu Cong completed his "inspection", it was already dark.

    When I was thinking about where to go at night, a maid came in.

    ¡°Sir, my young lady invites you to come over¡­¡±

    Liu Cong looked at it and felt that this maid was a bit unfamiliar, "Who is your young lady?"

    ¡°Replying to the master, it¡¯s Xiao Qiao.¡±

    "Xiao Qiao?" During this period, Liu Cong almost forgot about Xiao Qiao. Although Da Qiao persuaded him several times, the knot in Xiao Qiao's heart seemed to be unsolvable and she often burst into tears.  After all, Liu Cong has a modern mentality and is unwilling to force things, not to mention that there is no shortage of beauties around him.

    Today, Xiao Qiao asked the maid to invite him. Liu Cong still felt a little strange, but he understood that Xiao Qiao must have figured it out.

    So Liu Cong followed the maid to Xiao Qiao's room.

    "See my husbandhusband" Xiao Qiao's voice was as small as a mosquito.

    "You finally called me husband!" Liu Cong looked over with a smile, and saw that Xiao Qiao's face was slightly red, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, a little shy and a little sad.  "Aren't you still unwilling?"

    Liu Cong was a little angry. He was already patient enough with Xiao Qiao.  It was clearly Xiao Qiao who called him here today, why is it still like this?

    "Husband, forgive me, I am willing, but I don't know why, I always shed tears" Xiao Qiao became anxious and cried more.

    Liu Cong looked at Xiao Qiao Yu playing pear blossoms, aggrieved and shy, and suddenly remembered a poem.

    "Yongxiang complains about Luo Qi every year, and I miss the storm all day long. There are endless marks on the Xiangjiang bamboo, how much is sprinkled in front of Xianshou Mountain? People go to Zitai to enter the fortress in autumn, and the soldiers are disabled and listen to the song in the Chu tent at night. I asked at the Bashui Bridge in the morning  , Before arriving at Qingpao, I gave you jade."

    This is "Tears" written by Li Shangyin. The whole poem uses six allusions. Each allusion has a sad story, including the Russian Empress, and each allusion is from before this era.

    " Xiao Qiao looked at Liu Cong in a daze. She knew all these allusions and was very familiar with them, but how difficult was it to string them all together in one poem?  However, Liu Cong did it, and he did it so naturally, "Sister is right, there is no talent in front of a husband!"

    "Xiao Qiao, do you cry as much as they do?" Liu Cong took out the brocade handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiao Qiao's eyes.

    "Husband, Xiao Qiao has shed all his tears today, and he will no longer cry from now on" Xiao Qiao finally showed a smile. Although it was just a smile, it could be seen that he was very happy.

    "There are many sad things in life, especially in troubled times, as Cao Mengde once said in a poem: White bones are exposed in the wild, there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and hundreds of people are missing, it is heart-breaking to think about it. Being alive should be the greatest happiness, so I can't live  In the sorrow of the past.¡±

    "Xiao Qiao understands"

    "Today I have been busy all day at the Ministry of Industry, and I have sweated a lot. Let's take a shower here!"

    "No!"

      Xiao Qiao immediately ordered the maid and servants to get the bathtub, mix the water, sprinkle flower petals in the water, and then test the water.

    "Husband, let Xiao Qiao change your clothes."

    Liu Cong stretched out his arms, Xiao Qiao gently untied his belt and took off Liu Cong's clothes.

    Xiao Qiao hesitated for a moment, then took off his clothes, and then the two of them entered the bathtub.

    Liu Cong was leaning on the edge of the bathtub, and Xiao Qiao nestled in Liu Cong's arms, closing her eyes shyly.

    The fragrance of the petals and the fragrance of the girl mingled together and hit her face. In the hazy water vapor, Xiao Qiao's body became even more graceful, which made Liu Cong intoxicated.  Liu Cong held Xiao Qiao in his arms and gently kissed her cheeks, eyes and skin

    The next day, Liu Cong got up very late. When he packed his clothes and left Xiao Qiao's room, he found Liu Hu waiting at the door.

    "My lord, Ma Liang, Fazheng, and Ma Zhong would like to see you."

    "Three of them?" Liu Cong was a little surprised. There shouldn't be any big events recently. Why did they come to see them at the same time?  "Where?"

    "Waiting at Deyang Hall!"

    "Okay, let's go there!"

    The Harem is not far from Deyang Hall, and we got there quickly.

    "See my lord!"

    "No courtesy!" Liu Cong waved his hand, "You three come at the same time, what's the big deal?"

    "It's not a big deal, it just needs to be decided by the Lord!" Ma Liang said.

    "Oh? Come and listen!"

    "Cao Cao's envoy Sima Yi met with Zhong Yao privately and gave Zhong Yao a secret letter from Cao Cao. His subordinates felt that this matter was a bit strange!" Ma Liang said.

    "Where did the news come from?"

    "Reporting to my lord, it was discovered by the Skynet Camp, and my subordinates specially sent people to verify it, but this is what happened!"

    "Zhong Yuanchang is a loyal man. Since he has surrendered, he will never have second thoughts!" Liu Cong still knows something about Zhong Yao.

    "What the Lord said is true, but my subordinates think that the matter should be clarified no matter what, otherwise the rumors will become more widespread and trouble will arise!" Fa Zheng said.

    "My subordinates also agree with the words of filial piety and uprightness. The lord should confront Zhong Yao face to face to eliminate any doubts!"

    Liu Cong thought for a while and felt that what Fazheng and Ma Liang said made sense, so he nodded, "Liu Hu, send someone to tell Zhong Yao and come to Deyang Palace quickly!"

    "No!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
