I subconsciously shook my head. When Qinghan saw me like this, his eyebrows suddenly became deeply locked.    ?

"What's going on?"

“…”

This is also the reason why I have been feeling uneasy since the beginning.

Those terrifying weapons were sold to the south by the Folangji Kingdom more than 20 years ago. In other words, at that time, they already had powerful weapons that could destroy the imperial court's troops, but they did not use them.

The one who really fought with the imperial court was Xichuan.

The inextricable and even inhumane relationships between Xichuan and Jiangnan are no longer needed; since Xichuan was fighting with the imperial court and the southern forces purchased such a batch of weapons, it was of course necessary to hand them over to Xichuan for use, but such terrifying weapons did not appear on the battlefield of Xichuan.

Not only did all parties not mention these weapons in the records of the war, but if they were really used, the battle between Xichuan and the court would definitely not be defeated, so the pattern of the Celestial Empire should have been rewritten more than 20 years ago.

Thinking of this, I was also a little lucky when I was confused.

Fortunately, these weapons did not really appear, otherwise, I wonder how many innocent souls would have died in the war.

The question is - where did those weapons go?

Why did they not use it after they purchased it more than 20 years ago?

They would definitely not use such a weapon on purpose. Such a weapon should have been born for war. But if the people in Xichuan did not use it on purpose, why didn't they use it? Which link in the middle has problems that made them place such a terrifying weapon without using it, and thus they lost the war?

I thought about it, and I felt a slump in my heart.

As soon as I raised my head, I saw Qinghan looking at me with a particularly serious look. His eyes flashed, as if he wanted to ask for something, but hesitated.

I said, "What do you want to ask me?"

"..." He nodded.

"You ask."

"You've heard of this firearm deal before."

"Um."

"Who is the person who told you?"

His voice was very low, and the more he spoke it, the more he became, the more he became. I could hardly hear the last few words, but this question still fell heavily into my heart.

I will never tell anyone this answer easily, but the other party was him - I bit my lower lip and hesitated for a long time, and slowly said, "Yes, my mother."

“…!”

Qinghan suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Your, mother?"

I looked at him calmly and nodded.

I didn't intend to hide it from him, and I had planned to tell him this a long time ago. What's more, his teacher is Fu Badai. This old man who doesn't play according to common sense will teach him how much he is, the closed disciple who cares most, and I can't control how much he says. I just hope that I will tell him the part about myself.

Obviously, the sudden doubts and questions today shocked Qinghan. For a moment, his eyes were full of confusion and confusion, and he couldn't say anything. At this moment, Uncle Gui walked in from outside again.

He seemed to feel the atmosphere in the room was heavier than before. He paused for a moment and smiled at us: "Sorry, you guys, there are a lot of things today, so it's hard to greet you."

"It doesn't matter."

I smiled faintly. Uncle Gui should have been a little reserved, but for him, it was already very difficult to say this to us who had first met. I stood up and thanked him. When I was about to walk out, I suddenly turned around and looked at him and said, "Uncle Gui, there is a question, you don't need to answer, I just ask."

He was stunned for a moment, a little unable to understand what I mean: "What--what?"

"Is the person who bought those weapons the first one named Xue?"

Uncle Gui opened his eyes widened: "You, why are you--"

"I'm upset."

I nodded, turned around and walked out without saying anything. Just as I reached the door and was about to reach out to lift the curtain, when I turned around and called Qinghan, I saw him standing there with a serious expression, as if he was not ready to leave.

"Qinghan?"

Instead of looking at me, he turned to Uncle Gui and said, "I have a question to ask you too, please be sure to answer me."

Uncle Gui frowned and said, "What's the problem?"

"Will you still sell such weapons?"

I only care about the business from more than 20 years ago, but I almost forgot that if they were still doing such a business now and then selling such fierce weapons to the south, once the war started, the court would almost have no chance of winning. Qinghan's face was always heavy, obviously worried about this.

Uncle Gui seemed to think he would ask some questions about the transaction or this business, but he asked this, but he relaxed, with a smile on his face and said, "No."

"Why? You are not doing business, do you make money as long as you have money?"

Uncle Gui smiled and said, "If you have money, you will have to make a profit, but if you don't have goods, how can you sell it?"

"No goods?" Qinghan and I were both shocked and looked at him together: "Why?"

Uncle Gui said: "After selling that batch of firearms more than 20 years ago, the place where the firearms were produced suddenly caught fire. The drawings, key instruments, designs and manufacturing were all burned out by a fire."

"ah?!"

"The power of that kind of weapon is so powerful that it was originally cast by our court in secret. Once a person dies, there will be no things. It will be too difficult to make it again. Over the years, people have been trying to re-made it, and even want to come to the Heavenly Kingdom to borrow the batch of weapons it sold. Even if you borrow one, it will be helpful. Unfortunately—"

He said this, and then he didn't say anything further.

Qinghan and I looked at each other.

Such domineering weapons no longer appear, no matter what, it is a good thing, but after selling that batch to the south, the things are gone. Is this a coincidence, or -?

There are too many doubts that cannot be solved, and perhaps, cannot be solved.

I stood at the door and didn't move. Instead, Qinghan bowed to Uncle Gui, then walked over and lifted the curtain and let me go out, and walked out himself.

As soon as he went out, he saw Shui Xiu guarding a string of exquisite chains on the shelves and unable to move his eyes. He lowered his head and counted the copper plates in his purse. Xiao Fuzi was crying next to him: "Grandma, I just thought it was just about going out for business today, and I didn't bring that much money."

Shui Xiu pouted, and when she turned around and saw us coming out, her eyes lit up and came forward: "Girl, you're done with the talk."

"Yeah." I nodded, and saw Du Yan at the corner of my eyes. He was still standing at the door with a blank expression on his face like a statue. When he saw us coming out, he just gave a simple greeting.

I curled the corners of my lips lightly, turned to Shui Xiu and said, "What are you doing?"

Shui Xiu smiled and said, "Girl, look at the chain, it's so beautiful. Can I--"

Madam Wu is really right. This girl has a shallow eyelid.

I said lightly: "Today I came out to do business, what do you think are you coming out to do?"

"……oh."

Shui Xiu felt a little aggrieved and pouted and retreated aside. Xiao Fuzi looked at her heart and walked up to her ear and whispered: "I'll come out next time and I'll bring it to you."

Shui Xiu snorted and pounded his chest hard with her elbow, making Xiao Fuzi grin in pain.

Seeing this scene, I only found it funny. When I looked back at Qinghan, he just stood there, thinking silently, and didn't care about this side at all. I turned around and told Xiao Fuzi: "You guys go and drive the car over."

"yes."

Xiao Fuzi agreed and went out with Du Yan. Shui Xiu stood aside with a little aggrievedly. I slowly walked to the door and saw Qinghan slowly walking out, her eyebrows were still locked, and she twisted into a deep Sichuan character.

I know that everything I see and hear today is too shocking for him, and in fact it is not the case for me, but I vaguely feel that all this seems not just some past news. I don’t know how amazing the waves these “past things” will cause in the future.

Standing at the door of this small shop and watching the people coming and going outside, I suddenly felt empty in my heart.

So what about the huge waves? Compared to the torrent of history, people are like duckweeds that cannot be seen on the water, and can only go with the flow. However, no matter how difficult it is, they still have to survive day by day. War, fighting, government affairs, power and strategy, no matter how grand those things are, only the breathing, heartbeat, and smile of the person in front of them are real.

Looking at my trance, he whispered: "What are you thinking?"

I looked up at him and smiled, "You said, what would happen if I just led you like this now and we ran away together?"

“…”

He was stunned for a moment.

After a while, I didn't speak. Facing his stiff expression, I smiled faintly: "Just joking."

This time, Shui Xiu next to her breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course it's a joke.

Even if I really want to run away, it won’t be the case now. Even when the ghost uncle in the inner room just lifted up the curtain for a while, I could see three groups of people walking past the low wall. No matter where I go, there will be no fewer people staring at me.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing again, but Qinghan didn't laugh.

At this time, Xiao Fuzi and Du Yan had already rushed over. I stood at the door and looked at him: "Do you want to go back together?"

He shook his head gently.

In fact, Du Yan had already seen him, not to mention that there were so many people around him. The news of my meeting with him was probably sent back to the palace now. It would be meaningless to hide it, but he still refused.

In other words, here we are going to separate.

The footsteps that were not easy at first became a little heavy at this time. I asked Shui Xiu to get on the carriage first and stood at the door and looked at the man opposite him. He seemed to have some heavy thoughts, but he didn't know if such thoughts were about me or something big about him.

Uncle Gui kept standing by and staring at us, his eyes seemed to be thinking about something. At this time, he came forward and said tentatively: "Two, are we, are we--"
