An isolated island in Jiangdong sea area.


    Several people in black dragged several small boats equipped with strange paddle equipment onto the island and stuffed them into a cave. Without saying a word, they found hay and firewood, lit a fire and burned them. The smoke is not small, but it''s trapped in the cave. It overflows long and doesn''t wake up.


    Then the group quickly moved to the coast on the other side of the island, where a large ship was prepared early. The ship was loaded with a large number of silk and tea, and there were cultural seals for customs clearance and trade. After the merchant ship, several masked people quickly changed their black clothes, put them in cloth bags with stones, sank into the sea, dressed as ordinary businessmen and sailors, and sailed away.


    After a delicate anti tracking operation, there was no suspicious trace left.


    Mingchen and the puppet didn''t change their black clothes and masks. They hid in a dark space that was very difficult to find in the big ship.


    They are extremely cautious. They would rather risk being discovered by the chased Navy than show their true face in front of others.


    When they came to a safe place, they didn''t have to say much. They had a very tacit understanding.


    Mingchen takes out an antidote and puts it into his mouth. The puppet comes behind him and presses one palm behind him. Yungong forces him in.


    After a cup of tea, under the charred holes in the clothes on the side of Mingchen''s body, black blood gushed out of the rotten skin, and the puppet withdrew when he saw it. After retreating for a while, he also sprayed a mouthful of blood and fell wearily in the corner to catch his breath.


    The wound on Mingchen''s body was caught by Jiaolong''s Qi push back after a sneak attack with poison pills failed. This kind of poison is very corrosive and can corrode the body from the outside of the human body. Fortunately, there is an antidote for the dark dust, which can protect life.


    However, in order to fly out with the help of Jiaolong''s true Qi, he didn''t resist the wave of impact. He was blown out of his internal injury by Jiaolong''s majestic true Qi. For the time being, he was unable to use his power to make the medicine work quickly. Without the help of puppet Yun Kung Fu, his poisoned hand might be useless.


    The puppet Yun Gong helped Ming Chen to fight for his life. With his current level of martial arts, even with the help of magic knife, it is difficult to compete with Jiaolong. Just now, I fought against Jiaolong for more than 100 moves. I was forced to do it with all my internal power. I also suffered a lot of internal injuries.


    So after reluctantly helping Ming Chen drive away the poison, he immediately vomited blood, was depressed and needed a rest.


    Watching Ming Chen find a knife, he made gunpowder from the two bullets he had just robbed to play. After lighting the gunpowder to disinfect the knife, he happily cut off the rotten skin and flesh on his body. The blood flowed. The puppet couldn''t help laughing.


    "Shut up, if the water patrol arrives nearby, we will be exposed here." Mingchen is in a cold sweat with pain all over, but he is still very calm and said in a cold voice.


    "Look at us, when have we been so down? So it''s funny. Boss, you understand." the puppet shook his head, endured a smile, pulled out the magic knife and waved it to the dark dust.


    The dark dust didn''t blink in the face of the waving magic knife, but said faintly: "don''t fool around."


    Without any protective action, it can be seen that he has high trust in puppets.


    "It''s not nonsense." the magic knife waved with good strength, but accurately stopped outside the skin of the largest wound on Mingchen''s shoulder, holding the blood left by Mingchen. The blood fell on the magic knife and slowly disappeared, and the lunar spirit on the snow-white blade was a little heavier, "boss, you''re also a great expert. Don''t waste this blood."


    Although the puppet did not inject internal power, the lunar calendar on the blade of the magic knife still made Mingchen feel uncomfortable, as if he was full of desire for his flesh and blood.


    The killing is too heavy.


    "We don''t know much about Jiaolong. I''m sure he''s much better than tiancuo when we fight today. If we hadn''t paid for the dead men hidden in the water ghost team for many years, we would never survive." Mingchen cut off the poisoned and rotten meat, found the ointment and tied it with a cloth strip. Suddenly, a burst of herbal medicine fragrance covered the rotten smell of the rotten meat.


    I can tell from the smell that this ointment is by no means ordinary.


    "If you lose, you''ll lose. There''s no resources to compete for at sea, and it won''t be of great use. Today, it''s enough for us to blow for a year. How many people in the world can retreat successfully in the hands of Jiaolong and the leader of the demon cult? Hey, hey..." the puppet laughed arrogantly.


    "It''s just that Yue didn''t want to reveal her identity, otherwise the outcome would be unpredictable. Especially the knife you suddenly cut at him. It was originally planned that Li Mengyao and Yue would arrive tomorrow. In the event of an accident, I specially told you not to provoke Yue, just to force him to face a dilemma and not to attack us. If Jiao long didn''t interfere with your knife, Yue must stand up! How can you do it then The enemy and their two people work together? Your death is small. It''s big to lose the magic knife made by countless efforts for many years! "


    After being severely scolded by Mingchen, the arrogant puppet could not help but bow his head and admit his mistake. Jie said with a strange smile, "there''s no way. He''s angry! If he didn''t talk much, we could steal the ship."


    "Under their eyes, you don''t want to retreat perfectly. Don''t hesitate when abandoning the car to protect the marshal. Don''t use this knife next time. Bo Hu is practicing his knife technique..." there was no look under the dark dust soap gauze, but a chill came naturally.


    "Yes, I know. I won''t do it next time." the puppet flattered with a strange smile.


    According to the character of Mingchen, he will not give the puppet another chance.


    But the magic knife has the soul of the knife, which is just suitable for a madman like a puppet. Bo Hu is afraid he can''t give full play to the 70% power of the magic knife, so he will be given another chance.


    Not to look at the face of the puppet, but to maximize the power of its own resources.


    "Speaking of it, is it worth taking such a big risk to grab the design drawing?" the puppet put the magic knife back in its sheath and pillowed it behind his head, as if he was deeply afraid of the dark dust to go back and take it away.


    "What we seek is the most powerful country in the world. Whether it is weapons, martial arts, talents, books... Anything that can compete with it is our goal."


    Puppets understand this truth, so they can immediately adjust or equip whatever type of things they want because they have collected various resources for many years. They even set foot in all walks of life, so they can be prepared.


    "Western firearms have been developed for many years, and their level is no worse than that of Korean firearms. The core technology of Korean firearms is firmly in the hands of the emperor and his confidants, not to mention the production resources, which is difficult to steal. If mojiazhuang still exists, it may still be possible to develop high-quality firearms, but mojiazhuang has been destroyed... This most confidential design drawing of Western firearms may enable us to learn about firearms technology The emperor can shake his wrist with the emperor. "


    Not to mention that they must have as many troops as the imperial court, but if they can be equipped with an elite team with high-strength firearms, they can do much more


    Mingchen took out an old book soaked in water, opened it carefully and read it again.


    The puppets couldn''t understand the western language on the top, and they could understand the Xueba who was involved in all kinds of knowledge.


    Their men bought it from a smuggling caravan that often cooperates with them. It is said that they encountered several floating corpses at sea and found them after salvaging them. Because the body looked like a westerner, and the book was written in messy western language. After they disposed of the body, the book was sold to Mingchen''s people cheaply, and then came to Mingchen''s hands.


    At random, Mingchen found that this book was a diary recording events in more than two years. The owner''s name was Enke dandolo. He was the prince of Venice. On this trip, he came to the Central Plains to meet the emperor on behalf of their country to express his intention of alliance.


    These are not important, the important thing is... Mingchen turned to one of the pages, on which countless compliments were recorded. It describes a firearm design drawing that he somehow got and made him feel that he can despise all other Western firearms.


    According to the diary, the firearm has been successfully made, but there are several key technical difficulties on the design drawing that are difficult to deal with. I''m going to check the firearms technology in the Central Plains when I come to the Central Plains, or there may be a better solution. When these difficulties are solved, the firearms can be mass produced.
