    After listening to Liu Cong¡¯s words, Ma Liang and others not only admired him, but also felt a sense of fear in their hearts.

    The lord Liu Cong actually knew such secret information, and inadvertently, he laid a trap for Sima Yi, and it was an unsolvable trap.  Sharp eyes and sophisticated methods.  Fortunately, I had surrendered to my lord very early. If I were to become an enemy of my lord, it would be a misfortune in life!

    No matter how talented Sima Yi is, I¡¯m afraid it will be rare for Cao Cao to use him in the future.

    "Zhongxuan, do you have anything else to do today?" Under normal circumstances, Wang Can is not involved in these plans. He manages the Ministry of Industry, and what he is most passionate about is the publication of new books.

    "Taoist Master Wei Ao said that he has made the gunpowder that the Lord wanted!"

    "What, Master Wei has done it!" Liu Cong was very excited after hearing this.

    "That's what Master Wei said!"

    "Great! Great!" Liu Cong stood up immediately, "Let's go and have a look together!"

    Wei Ao, whose courtesy name is Boyang and whose Taoist name is Yunyazi, was born in Shangyu, Kuaiji.

    His fame during this period was not as high as that of Zuo Ci, but he had a profound influence on later generations.  He can be said to be Huang Lao Taoist and alchemy theorist, the theoretical founder of the Taoist Alchemy School, and the son of Emperor Huan's fashion book Wei Lang.

    Although he was born into a noble family, he had a good nature, refused to be an official, and lived in leisurely life to cultivate his character, so he had no reputation.

    Ma Zhong discovered him when he was looking for an alchemist.  I originally wanted to invite him to Jingzhou, but I didn't expect that this old Taoist had a very stubborn temper and couldn't invite him at all.  When Ma Zhong got angry, he tied him up directly.

    Wei Ao was very angry at first, but when he saw that Liu Cong came to him to study alchemy, his anger immediately subsided and he threw himself into work without taking a break.  Even Liu Cong admired his obsession with alchemy.

    Liu Cong and others left the Han Palace, and under the protection of Liu Hu and the five hundred forbidden troops, headed for the Ministry of Industry.

    "My lord, what is gunpowder?" Ma Liang asked as he walked on the road.

    Zhong Yao, Liu Hu, Ma Zhong, and Wang Can also widened their eyes.

    Gunpowder is definitely a new term to them. Although Wang Can has heard of it, he doesn't know what it is.

    "Is this gunpowder" Liu Cong thought for a while, "It is a kind of medicine that can catch fire discovered during the process of refining alchemy!"

    "This can this make you immortal?" Zhong Yao asked.

    "Immortality?" Liu Cong smiled, "Yuan Chang, you are a learned man. Don't you know that birth, old age, illness and death are natural laws, and there is no such thing as immortality!"

    "Oh" Zhong Yao nodded, and at the same time he was relieved. He was really afraid that his lord Liu Cong was obsessed with immortality and alchemy. Then he would be just like Qin Shihuang and Han Wu Emperor in the later period, and his hegemony would be ruined.  Yu Yiyi asked, "Then why does my lord refine these gunpowders?"

    "These gunpowder will become a new weapon!" Liu Cong was full of confidence, "Slowly in the future, it will replace other weapons on the battlefield!"

    "Can gunpowder be used as a weapon?" Ma Liang looked puzzled.

    "It's just a medicine, how can it become a weapon? Could it be said to be poison?" Zhong Yao said.

    "Ha" Liu Cong burst into laughter, "Can poison be used as a weapon? On the battlefield, do you have the opportunity to poison? You will understand in the future that it is the real weapon!"

    Several people came to the gate of the Ministry of Industry while talking.

    The place is heavily guarded. In addition to the soldiers from the Skynet Camp, there are also forbidden troops guarding it.

    Seeing Liu Cong and others coming, the guards at the door hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and then were led into the door by a commander. The imperial army led by Liu Hu stood at the door.

    The Ministry of Industry is very large, and it is the palace of the Han Dynasty. It is now the secret of the Han Dynasty. Very few people know about it, even many important officials have never been there.

    The place they came to today is only part of the Ministry of Industry, where gunpowder manufacturing is studied.

    "See you, Your Majesty!" Seeing Liu Cong coming in, Wei Ao led a dozen of his disciples to come over and salute.

    "Thank you for your hard work, Master Wei. No courtesy!"

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    "I heard that you have developed gunpowder?"

    "According to the prince's request, we have developed it!"

    "Okay!" Liu Cong was very happy after hearing this, "Master Wei, then you can demonstrate it and let everyone take a look!"

    "Nuo!" Wei Ao turned around and said to his eldest disciple Chun Yuzhen, "Prepare a demonstration immediately for the prince to see!"

    ??Chunyu Zhen gave instructions to several other people, and thenThen they entered different rooms, and after a while, everyone came out.

    I saw someone carrying a thick wooden board, and some carrying some stones, while Chun Yuzhen was carefully holding a ceramic jar.

    Several people dug a small hole in the center of the yard, just big enough to put the ceramic jar in. Chun Yuzhen pulled out a string from the ceramic jar, and Liu Cong knew it was a lead.

    They pressed the wooden board on top of the clay pot, and then pressed several large rocks on the wooden board.

    "Master, you are ready. Please step back with the prince!"

    ¡°My lord, gunpowder is very powerful, please step back!¡±

    "good!"

    Liu Cong and the others, at Wei Ao's request, retreated to a distance of more than ten feet.

    "My lord, this clay pot is pressed with wooden boards and stones. How can it have any power?" Ma Liang asked puzzledly.

    "Yes, lord, how did it come out?" Although Zhong Yao was asking, he kept shaking his head, "Should we dig it out again?"

    "You are so ignorant, how do you know the power of gunpowder!" Wei Ao became unhappy after hearing what Ma Liang and Zhong Yao said, "Only the prince knows about this magical power. It is the wrath of thunder, so mortals are naturally ignorant!"

    "Wei Boyangyou" Ma Liang was irritated by Wei Ao's words. He didn't believe that the gunpowder had any power at all, but listening to the words behind it, it seemed that it was made according to the lord's wishes, so Ma Liang was about to speak again.  Swallow it back.  My Lord is a genius and has so many fantastic ideas, how can he think with common sense?

    At this time, there was only a little Taoist priest next to the wooden board, and Chun Yuzhen and others were also standing far away.

    "Light the fire!" Chunyu Zhen shouted loudly.

    The little Taoist priest immediately took out the flint, lit the fuse, and then ran back quickly.

    "Ha" Ma Liang, Wang Can and Zhong Yao almost all laughed softly.

    The fuse was on fire, and there was smoke and sparks coming out, but were you so scared?

    Ma Liang originally wanted to laugh a few more words, but found that Wei Ao looked contemptuous of him and his lord Liu Cong had a very serious expression, so he held back again.

    The fuse outside has been burned out. Although there is a wooden board pressing it down and no sparks can be seen, the white smoke coming out from under the wooden board proves that the fuse is still burning.

    The burning speed of the fuse is actually very fast, but Liu Cong felt that it seemed to be very slow, and his heart was in his throat.

    He was waiting for a thunder, an explosion, a loud noise that could change this era.

    Liu Cong held his breath and stared at the wooden board and the stones on it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
