Chapter 221 Zhao Shan visits
Until the sunset, several people returned to Wen's inn.
Two slaves stood at the door of the inn. When they saw a few people, they hurriedly greeted them and bowed.
"Wenyue, just send it here, we can go in by ourselves."
Lin Xiaofan smiled slightly and said.
It was so late. If Wen Yue entered the inn with him, there would be rumors in the city, which would bring a bad reputation to Wen Yue.
Wen Yue nodded and said to the two slaves:
"You two, please take good care of Counselor Lin."
After Wen Yue left with a group of guards, only Lin Xiaofan, Wu Fengxue, and the three guards brought out by Lin Xiaofan were left on the field.
A slave bowed respectfully again and said:
"Several adults, please come inside."
Under the leadership of the slave, several people entered a courtyard of the inn.
As soon as they entered the door, a fresh scent of flowers hit their faces, which refreshed the spirits of several people and relieved a lot of their fatigue.
Looking around, there is a large garden in the courtyard. Even though it is winter, there are still countless flowers in bloom.
After walking through the flower-scented path, a large hall appeared in front of everyone.
"Sir, this is the winter courtyard of our clerical inn. It is only open in winter."
The servant on the side introduced him.
"There are a total of forty houses in the Winter Courtyard, which can accommodate more than fifty people. If you need anything, you can come to us at any time."
Lin Xiaofan nodded and pushed open the mahogany door.
Inside is a lobby, where Liu Shishi, Liu Sisi, Li Hu and others are waiting, seemingly preparing to have dinner.
The two slaves did not enter the palace and waited outside the door.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Shishi and others greeted him.
"Husband, you are here, would you like to change your clothes?"
Liu Shishi blinked her eyes with a smile on her face. After not seeing him for a day, she already missed him a little.
"No, let's eat first."
At this moment, Lin Xiaofan's stomach growled twice, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
He had been wandering around since noon and was already very hungry.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Wu Fengxue, a famous craftsman. From now on, we should treat him as one of our family members."
After all, Wu Fengxue would follow him in the future, so he did not forget to introduce him to everyone.
Upon hearing that this person was a famous craftsman, everyone's faces became more joyful.
They all knew that what Lin Xiaofan wanted most was craftsmen, especially capable craftsmen.
Moreover, this craftsman has been hired by Lin Xiaofan, which makes them happy for Lin Xiaofan from the bottom of their hearts.
"Young master, this way please."
After a few people were seated, several servants came and served the sumptuous dinner.
"Sir, these dishes are all chosen by us. You can try them to see if they suit your taste."
Liu Sisi said.
After hearing this, Lin Xiaofan took a closer look and found that many of these dishes were his favorites. Of course, all kinds of big fish and prawns are also indispensable.
Lin Xiaofan also took a few bites with his chopsticks, with a hint of surprise on his face.
It is worthy of being the first inn in Lifeng Town, and the food tastes good.
After several people finished dinner, it was already getting dark, so they each went back to their arranged bedrooms.
"Brother Wu, look at this repeating crossbow. What do you think?"
Lin Xiaofan took out a repeating crossbow from his bag and handed it to Wu Fengxue who was standing aside.
"A continuous crossbow?"
Wu Xuefeng heard this word for the first time and took it with some doubts.
After just browsing through it twice, he suddenly became serious.
"This one is somewhat similar to the giant crossbow in the army, but in comparison, it is smaller and smaller. Compared with ordinary bows, it is much easier to aim."
As he spoke, he picked up the repeating crossbow and took aim. If he wasn't in the bedroom, he would have to pull the trigger.
The more he looked at this thing, the more he admired it and wished he could take it apart now and take a look.
"If this thing can shoot accurately, it can greatly increase the strength of the archer battalion in the army. The person who invented this thing has a great talent and must be a famous craftsman of the generation. His achievements are not inferior to mine."
Wu Fengxue commented briefly.
It's actually not difficult to make this thing, but it's difficult to create it.
I saw this thing today. If you give him time, he will be able to create it sooner or later.
But if he had never seen this thing before, then even if he was given a hundred years, he wouldn't be able to imagine it.
After he came back to his senses, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes were a little more unbelievable, and he asked:
"Brother Lin, could it be that you made this repeating crossbow?"
Lin Xiaofan shook his head and said truthfully:
"I came up with the idea, and let others do the production. As for the range, the range of accurate shooting is about twenty-five feet."
He has never been a craftsman, and he may not even be able to make a single part of it.
"Twenty-fifty feet!"
Wu Fengxue's first reaction was disbelief.
He had practiced martial arts and naturally learned bow and arrow. An ordinary soldier, after a year of training, would not be able to hit accurately within twenty-five feet.
The shooting of this repeating crossbow is very simple. An ordinary person can basically practice it after ten days and a half of training.
But then I thought about it, Lin Xiaofan could defeat an army of [-] with just a few strategies. It is not impossible to conceive of this thing.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and said:
"The person who can make this thing is only one in a hundred. The person who can come up with this thing is rare. Brother Lin is a great talent!"
As long as there is a general idea, many craftsmen can make this thing.
The real difficulty is actually the idea.
"Can't be called worthy."
Lin Xiaofan waved his hands repeatedly.
I just borrowed the ideas of sages from previous lives, how can I be called a great talent?
While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
It's getting late now, who will come?
Lin Xiaofan frowned slightly, with a slightly puzzled look in his eyes.
Could it be Liu Shishi and the others? But he was talking to Wu Fengxue, and they wouldn't bother him.
As for the slaves in the inn, that's even more impossible. Even in the middle of the night, the guards wouldn't let them into the hospital.
Besides, who else?
"Brother Lin, open the door."
There was a somewhat familiar female voice outside the door. Perhaps because she didn't want to be discovered, the voice was kept low.
Lin Xiaofan thought about it for a moment and then remembered that the person who came was Zhao Shan.
He didn't expect that Zhao Shan would visit at such a late hour.
Thinking about it, he quickly got up and went to open the door.
There was only Zhao Shan outside the door.
This time she changed from her usual style. She wore a gray coat on her upper body and dark black cotton trousers on her lower body. The earrings on her ears were also replaced by silver gray. Her hair was tied together, and a piece of black cloth wrapped around her ears and nose, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, as low-key as possible.
She first looked around cautiously, and when she saw that no one was watching, she ducked into the house and carefully closed the door without making a sound.
