"Protect the Lord! Where did this Kunlun slave come from! "Guan Hai and Zhou Cang quickly pulled out their swords and protected Liu Mang behind them. This was because the person in front of them was too scary. He was pitch black and only his eyes and yellow teeth could be seen.
"Take him down!" Guan Hai shouted to his bodyguards.
"Yes, sir." A group of personal guards rushed towards the dark-skinned man.
"Lord, it's me. It's me!" The dark man was gesturing and explaining himself loudly.
"Wait a minute!" Liu Mang looked at the African looking man. His voice sounded a bit familiar.
"Ziyang? Is that you? "Xu Shu, who was standing at the side, asked in confusion.
"It's me. It's me. Military Advisor, no, Internal Minister, I'm Liu Mang, Liu Ziyang!" The African man said to Liu Mang and the rest.
"You're Liu Ye? Don't joke around. Although my Brother Liu isn't a handsome man, he's still handsome. You're so dark and ugly and you're even uglier than my Brother Guan. How dare you pretend to be my Liu family's brother? " Zhou Cang's big mouth opened his mouth again. Guan Hai raised his eyebrows. What did he mean by uglier than him? So what if he was ugly? Luckily, Guan Hai always knew that Zhou Cang had a big mouth. Otherwise, Zhou Cang would suffer.
"I'm really Liu Ye. Zhou Cang, you bastard. You even ate my turtle that I've been raising for more than ten years. I haven't even looked for you yet!" Liu Mang shouted at Zhou Cang. Previously, Zhou Cang went to Zhou Cang's house under Liu Mang's orders. It was Liu Mang who asked Zhou Cang to come over and catch up. He didn't expect Zhou Cang to bring back Liu Ye's pet turtle. If it wasn't for the chef serving the wrong dish, Liu Mang wouldn't have discovered that his turtle had been eaten by Zhou Cang and turned into turtle soup.
"Ah! How did you know! "Zhou Cang jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"Hmph!" Liu Ye coldly snorted, "Zhou Cang, you idiot. If it wasn't for the lord, I would have already settled the score with you. Today, you even dare to complain that I'm ugly." Liu Ye pointed at Zhou Cang and scolded him.
"It really is Ziyang!" Liu Mang looked at Zhou Cang's evasive gaze and immediately knew that it really was Liu Ye.
"Brother Liu, how did you end up like this!" Zhou Cang could only laugh it off. Originally, Guan Hai was there to help him, but he had offended two people at once. Guan Hai stood aside and pretended not to see Zhou Cang being scolded, so Zhou Cang could only thicken his skin and speak up.
"Hmph!" Liu Ye used his clothes to wipe his face. He had wanted to wipe away the ashes on his face, but he realized that his clothes were already the same as everyone else's. Hence, it became even darker. Zhou Cang, who was beside him, immediately grinned.
Liu Ye was about to glare when he suddenly thought of something. He ran in front of Zhou Cang and pressed his face against Zhou Cang.
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, what are you doing? What are you doing? Don't, don't!" Zhou Cang shouted.
Liu Mang looked at the two people in front of him. Liu Mang's real face was finally revealed. Because they were near Shouchun, Zhou Cang was wearing ordinary light armor. Liu Ye used Zhou Cang's clothes to wipe away the ashes on his face. Only then did Liu Mang recognize him.
"Brother Liu, compensate me for my new clothes!" Zhou Cang shouted.
"Alright, that's enough!" Liu Mang knew that if he did not stop them, the two of them would not stop.
"Ziyang, what happened here?" Liu Mang asked Liu Ye. He came here in high spirits. Although he was a little shocked when he saw the miserable situation here, it also strengthened his confirmation.
"My lord, it's nothing! I created that thing called gunpowder! "Liu Ye said to Liu Mang indifferently.
"Gunpowder? You created it? "Liu Mang asked Liu Ye with his eyes wide open.
"Yes!" Liu Mang explained to Liu Mang. "My lord, please take a look. This is gunpowder." Liu Ye took out something from his subordinate behind him and showed it to Liu Mang.
"Dark brown!" Liu Mang took it. It was very similar to the black gunpowder in his memory.
Everyone thought that gunpowder was very simple. Wasn't it just saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur? But you have to know that if you use these three things normally, the gunpowder can only be used as a small firework. Moreover, if you don't use a fixed ratio, the firework might not even be able to be used!
The gunpowder Liu Mang wanted Liu Mang to make was just ordinary black gunpowder. However, there were still many ways to use gunpowder. Liu Mang would definitely not use it to play with fireworks. Although this was something that could make the tigress at home happy, Liu Mang wanted to gain the upper hand in this chaotic world. In other words, he wanted to use it in the military.
Gunpowder is the energy source for weapons. According to its uses, it can be divided into igniting gunpowder, propellant, and solid propellant. Propellant is further divided into: gun propellant and cannon propellant.
The various components lead to different effects. Therefore, even if there was a process, Liu Mang still needed to seek help from the late Han Dynasty inventor.
"This is gunpowder? It's nothing! It's just like dirt! "Zhou Cang spoke again. The moment he spoke, he naturally offended people.
"What do you know? This gunpowder is our lord's." Liu Ye's assistant immediately retorted.
However, he was stopped by Liu Ye and retreated.
"Zhou Cang, don't look down on this black dirt. It's just this black dirt. Only this black dirt can turn this place into this state! "Liu Mang pointed at the place that was still emitting the smell of gunpowder.
"It's this black dirt that turned this place into this state? Haha, Lord, you're so funny. You only know how to lie to me. This is clearly a lightning strike from the heavens! "Zhou Cang had a look of 'you're lying to me'.
"Lie to you? Haha, Zhou Cang still has a barrel of gunpowder. Do you want to sit on it and take a look? I'll light it for you? " Liu Mang smiled and said to Zhou Cang. Seeing Liu Mang's smile, Zhou Cang was already familiar with it. That smile was the prelude to someone's misfortune. Zhou Cang immediately shook his head. "I believe you, I believe you!" Zhou Cang looked around again. The fire had not been extinguished. There were still people taking care of the injured and there were also many corpses of the dead.
"Lord, you already know?" Liu Mang smiled bitterly and said to Liu Mang.
"Of course I know!" Liu Mang replied to Liu Mang. What lightning strike? Liu Mang did not believe it. Although the lightning strike could cause casualties, it was not this terrifying. This was a row of houses that were flipped over and lit on fire. Although Liu Mang had not seen an explosion in real life, he had seen it on television and in movies. Although those were special effects, reality was much better than special effects.
"Didn't I ask you to show me the moment you made it!" Liu Mang was reprimanding Liu Ye.
"Lord, this, this, this is not Lord Liu Ye's fault. It's, it's my fault!" A young man behind Liu Mang stood up and said to Liu Mang.
"En?" Liu Mang thought that this person was nervous when he saw him, so he could not speak clearly. However, after listening to him, it was clear that this was not the reason. This person was born with a stutter.
"Lord, this is all because Ye did not listen to Lord's orders. It has nothing to do with Assistant Minister Ma! If you want to punish someone, punish me! "Liu Ye also knelt down.
"En?" Liu Mang did not know who this young man was. He actually wanted Liu Ye to plead for him. "Assistant Minister Ma?" This was the second in command of the Ministry of Works. It was this young man!
