Chapter 1274 Preparation

The captain of the guards felt depressed when he heard this.

Originally, he thought that Wei Boyang was a man seeking fame and reputation, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why Wei Boyang was still alive, but the legend of his ascension to immortality had been circulating at the foot of Changbai Mountain for more than ten years.

Now Wei Boyang simply rejected Bai Feng's invitation.

Captain Liu Yong of the guards thought that Wei Boyang might not know that his rejection of Bai Feng was equivalent to rejecting wealth and honor, rejecting the opportunity to participate in the change of Wei, and rejecting the opportunity to benefit the people of the world!

"Duke Wei, the Marquis of Hanzhong sincerely invites you to Hanzhong once."

"Even if you finally decide not to stay in Hanzhong to help the Marquis of Hanzhong, please go down the mountain to Hanzhong once."

"I can't explain to you in detail the reasons why the Marquis of Hanzhong invited you to go down the mountain. It's not too late for you to make a decision after meeting the Marquis of Hanzhong."

Captain Liu Yong of the guards certainly didn't want to find Wei Boyang after he and these servants had to move mountains and wade through rivers and search in many ways.

In the end, because Wei Boyang said he didn't want to go down the mountain, he returned empty-handed.

However, although the captain of the guard Liu Yong is highly skilled in martial arts and very vigilant, he really has no talent in persuading others.

And when the captain of the guard Liu Yong persuaded Wei Boyang to go to Hanzhong, he subconsciously put his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Previously, the way that the captain of the guard Liu Yong persuaded people was basically to use the long sword at his waist.

The reason why Bai Feng asked the captain of the guard Liu Yong to lead the team was because it was a thousand miles from Hanzhong to Changbai Mountain, and it was still in the wild mountains and ridges on the border of the Great Wei.

Without the martial arts and vigilance of the captain of the guard Liu Yong, safety would be a big problem.

Wei Boyang listened to the persuasion of the captain of the guard Liu Yong and noticed his right hand subconsciously pressing on the hilt of the sword.

"Could it be that the order given by the Marquis of Hanzhong to this captain of the guard was to tie me up and take me back to Hanzhong?"

At this time, such a thought suddenly popped up in Wei Boyang's mind.

Although he has practiced in the mountains for many years and is over 70 years old, his martial arts skills are not something that ordinary thieves can get close to.

Otherwise, Wei Boyang would not be able to practice alchemy comfortably in the deep mountains and old forests where tigers and leopards roam with only one disciple.

Faced with the repeated persuasion of the guard captain Liu Yong, Wei Boyang did not refuse so straightforwardly at this time.

If the guard captain Liu Yong really tied him back to Hanzhong, Wei Boyang would not help Bai Feng in Hanzhong.

Of course, the action of the guard captain Liu Yong putting his hand on the hilt was just a subconscious behavior.

Although he was a little unhappy with Wei Boyang's refusal to go to Hanzhong, and these unhappy things were because he did not complete the task assigned to him by Bai Feng.

And the guard captain Liu Yong would not really tie Wei Boyang back to Hanzhong, which would not be a hindrance to Bai Feng!

After Wei Boyang pondered for a while, he said to the captain of the guard Liu Yong:

"I already understand the sincerity of the Marquis of Hanzhong, but I am really obsessed with the way of alchemy, and I am old, no matter what kind of worldly things I have experienced."

"Fame, wealth, gold, silver, and rouge and powder are all like passing clouds and smoke to me."

"So I can only let Captain Liu apologize to the Marquis of Hanzhong on my behalf."

After Wei Boyang finished speaking, he looked at the captain of the guard Liu Yong.

"."

"I understand. Please forgive me for disturbing Lord Wei today."

Then the captain of the guard Liu Yong and two servants said goodbye to Wei Boyang and left.

After gathering all the servants, the captain of the guard Liu Yong told everyone that Wei Boyang did not want to leave the mountain.

"Boss, how about we tie up Wei Boyang and take him to Hanzhong?"

"I don't believe that after he arrives in Hanzhong, he still wants to go back to this deep mountain forest to refine some elixir!"

"That's right!"

"We have traveled thousands of miles, trekked through mountains and rivers, and in the end we haven't completed the task assigned by the Marquis of Hanzhong. How can we go back like this?!"

"Tie up Wei Boyang and take him to Hanzhong!"

After listening to the story of the captain of the guard Liu Yong, a group of servants immediately spoke out.

Captain of the guard Liu Yong looked at the servants' discussion and said nothing.

The servants slowly shut up when they saw the captain of the guard Liu Yong's face getting darker.

"Wei Boyang is a master who is truly obsessed with the way of elixir."

After all the servants shut up, the captain of the guard Liu Yong spoke to the servants.

This is the conclusion that the captain of the guard Liu Yong came to after communicating and observing Wei Boyang. At this time, Liu Yong has overturned his previous judgment that Wei Boyang is a person who seeks fame and reputation.

"That's why we can't force Wei Boyang back to Hanzhong."

"Hanzhong Hou needs Wei Boyang's help. If we force Wei Boyang back to Hanzhong, it might backfire."

"And we didn't come here without any gains this time. After resting for a day tonight, we will set off to return to Hanzhong and inform Hanzhong Hou of Wei Boyang's situation."

"It depends on how Hanzhong Hou arranges it. We have no right to interfere. Is it clear?!"

After the captain of the guard Liu Yong finished speaking, he looked at the six servants in front of him and asked in a deep voice.

"Clear."

Seeing that the captain of the guard Liu Yong had made a decision, the six servants no longer mentioned forcibly taking Wei Boyang back to Hanzhong.

The group then set off to go down the mountain. After replenishing food and drinking water in the village at the foot of the mountain that night, they set off to return to Hanzhong.

Outside Hanzhong City, Bai Feng established a production workshop for nitro/glycerin explosives on the east side of the R&D center.

The workshop is about two miles away from the R&D center, so even if an accident occurs in the nitro/glycerin workshop during production, it will not affect the people in the town and the R&D center.

In addition, the guards of the R&D center and the guards of the nitro/glycerin explosives production workshop can provide support as soon as possible when either side needs help.

Zhang Daoyi, Fang Yuan and other five alchemists who stayed in Hanzhong have already explained to their families that they will work for Bai Feng in the future.

The gold and silver promised by Bai Feng have also been delivered to Zhang Daoyi's home.

Another alchemist with a family also settled his family from Yizhou to Hanzhong with the help of Bai Feng.

After the nitro/glycerin explosives workshop was completely built and the corresponding raw materials were prepared, Bai Feng planned to let Zhang Daoyi, Fang Yuan and other alchemists start trying to configure nitric acid and sulfuric acid.

"I don't know if Liu Yong and others have found Wei Boyang now."

Bai Feng, who had done the preliminary preparations, thought silently on the way back to the mansion.

At the same time, the captain of the guard Liu Yong and others were about to return to Hanzhong.

Ten days later, the nitration/glycerin explosives workshop had been completely built, and each room was built extremely solidly.

Bai Feng had managed to prepare the raw materials needed to prepare nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
