The salon holds a party regularly every month. Regardless of the party's theme, cost, or furnishings, members take turns to host it. Whoever's turn it is will be the host. If anyone wants to add another session and is willing to host it, everyone has expressed their willingness to participate.

, and it’s totally fine.

After a vote by everyone, the salon was named the Northern Painting School.

The capital is located in the north. According to the classification of the Jin Dynasty, they belong to the northern faction. In addition, the meeting place is the painting academy, and the painting academy is located in Beining. They are more or less influenced by sketching and Zhao Ruxi's new painting methods, and they can be regarded as their own.

It became a genre, hence the name.

There were only fourteen people in the Beining school at the beginning. Among these fourteen people, not only were Kang Shilin, Zhao Ruxi, Zhou Wenbai and other extremely famous painters, but others also made great achievements and left their own indelible mark in the history of painting. Of course, this

That’s a story for another day.

It is said that Zhao Ruxi received the letter from Qing Feng and went to a house temporarily rented by Xiao Lingyan after school the next day.

Xiao Lingyan pushed the snacks he brought from the palace in front of Zhao Ruxi like a treasure, and thoughtfully poured a cup of tea for Zhao Ruxi and asked, "How are you doing lately?"

Zhao Ruxi was eating snacks and drinking tea, but she rolled her eyes at Xiao Lingyan unceremoniously: "I don't believe you didn't send someone to keep an eye on me."

Although this is true, Xiao Lingyan would not admit it if he was beaten to death.

He glanced at Zhao Ruxi seriously: "Why am I staring at you? I absolutely trust you."

"Really?" Zhao Ruxi stared at him.

"Really not!" Xiao Lingyan shook his head firmly.

Zhao Ruxi looked at him for a while, then looked away and sighed: "Then I am so worthless. I took big risks and worked hard to make money for you, but you don't care about me at all. If I encounter any danger

, I was bullied and plotted, and by the time you find out, the day lilies will be cold. My death will be in vain."

Xiao Lingyan: "..." A woman's heart is like a needle under the sea.

He rubbed his face: "My aunt, do you want me to stare at you or not? Tell me, I will definitely follow your instructions."

Zhao Ruxi raised an eyebrow.

In the past, if she said this, Xiao Lingyan would definitely argue with her for several rounds. But now that he doesn't talk back, she is a little uncomfortable with it.

She waved her hand: "Forget it, let's not stare at it. As long as you and I don't get involved, I will be safe for the time being."

I knew it would be like this.

Xiao Lingyan sighed quietly: "It's been half a year since we traveled through time. The danger is getting closer and closer to us."

"Leaving you is not leaving me." Zhao Ruxi corrected.

"Yes, you are leaving me." He looked at Zhao Ruxi pitifully, "Xu Xi, you can't just die without saving me."

He was really good-looking, and now that he was acting like this, Zhao Ruxi was stunned for a moment.

But in just a moment, Zhao Ruxi withdrew her gaze and refused ruthlessly: "That's all I can do. I can't help you with anything else."

Xiao Lingyan touched his face.

He has a very handsome face. How come his beauty tricks are of no use? This woman's heart is indeed made of iron.

He took out a picture from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Ruxi: "Is it okay to ask your blacksmith to make two parts for me?"

Zhao Ruxi took the drawing and looked at it, asking: "What part is this?"

"God's arm crossbow and bean-inch crossbow."

Zhao Ruxi knew about crossbows, but she had never heard of these two unfamiliar crossbow names.

She couldn't help but look at him: "Are you still proficient in weapons?"

"I can be considered a military fan in modern times. I often hang out in forums and understand a little bit. I have been studying the weapons of this era for a while, and found that they are not very good. I invented several crossbows, improved the trebuchet, and started fighting.

The battle is almost not difficult."

He pointed to the drawing in Zhao Ruxi's hand: "But I don't trust anyone except you, so I have to ask you to make the most critical parts of each crossbow for me."

That's no problem. In order to prevent leaks, Zhao Ruxi's blacksmith and carpentry workshops were made by mixing parts from several things together. Even if the craftsmen learned how to make all the parts, they still couldn't put them together.

.

Even in order to keep it secret, she did not give the drawings all at once. Instead, she would take back the drawings and parts after finishing the same thing, and then give the drawings of another part. In this way, the more times she used it, the more the original parts would be remembered.

As for how to do it, you will have to get dizzy later.

For example, Li Laosi, because of his good craftsmanship, was assigned to make one part alone. Now he has four or five completed parts. His memory of the first part he made is somewhat fuzzy.

As for secretly copying the drawings, firstly, the cultural level of these craftsmen is not high, and few of them are literate; secondly, although Zhao Ruxi's drawings can be understood by the craftsmen, when it comes to drawing, it is not that difficult.

The ability to completely copy Zhao Ruxi's complex drawings can only be accomplished by lurkers specially sent by certain people.

And when she opened the workshop, she was just a little shrimp. No one knew what she wanted to do when she opened the workshop. No one would have targeted her at that time and deliberately sent someone to be an undercover agent. Therefore, lurkers and the like were almost eliminated.

possible.

Because of this processing mechanism, if the craftsmen are now asked to make a few more parts, it will not attract their attention at all.

Speaking of trebuchets, Zhao Ruxi thought of thunder cannons. She knew that this thing was a thermal weapon used by the Song Dynasty.

She asked curiously: "Then why don't you just build a wooden cannon?"

The steel materials Xiao Lingyan gave her were all good and could meet the requirements for making thermal weapons.

Xiao Lingyan shook his head: "I don't want to break the balance. Once that thing is built, it will be too lethal. I believe that with these, plus our calculations, we should be able to reverse the outcome of that war."

He told about his suspicion of Guo Jitong and the investigation of him.

"Although he acts extremely carefully, I can't provide evidence to prove that he is Xiao Lingheng's person. But intuitively, I feel that he is. I will send people to keep an eye on him, and I will also send people to keep an eye on the people from the Ministry of Finance."

Zhao Ruxi frowned.

She asked: "It's been so long, do you have any idea how you will respond to what happened one and a half and two years later?"

Before Xiao Lingyan could speak, she waved her hand and said, "You don't need to tell me the details. You just need to tell me whether you have the music score."

Xiao Lingyan was quite relaxed when he was sitting, but now he sat upright with a very serious expression: "But the person I trust most in this world is you. You have a good mind. Apart from you, I have no one else."
