Chen Xu returned to his bedroom, opened a wooden box with copper strips and nails, took out a suede-wrapped thing from it, opened it, revealing a delicate golden round object with a palm-sized workmanship. Turned over, and a clear face reflected inside.

This is a real glass mirror, and it is crystal glass.

This is a flat circular glass piece poured out after the remaining crystals were melted after the last casting of the lens. It is one cent thick, which is only more than two millimeters thick, very thin, but as crystal clear as the lens, there is no impurities or bubbles.

It is not enough to have glass alone. You have to apply a reflective layer on the back of the glass to serve as a mirror. The mirrors in later generations are covered with silver, but not silver powder, but silver chemical salt solvents. After a series of chemical reactions, the coating formed by silver adhering to the surface of the glass was precipitated. However, Chen Xu, a complex chemical industry, could only express hehe. Then he used the easiest method to make a thin tin foil and stick it on the glass. Then he found that the effect was pretty good, basically similar to ordinary mirrors in later generations. Compared with today's bronze mirrors, it is simply a ninth-grade magical artifact. If you get closer, you can see the pores on your face clearly. As for freckles, it is even more obvious.

Looking at the few little beans on the guy's face in the mirror, Chen Xu jumped gently a few times.

Damn it’s all acne, so it seems that it’s time to marry a wife to relieve the fever.

It has been almost two years since he traveled to Daqin, and with this mirror, he finally saw clearly what he looked like.

In the past, he couldn't see clearly in the water basin and bronze mirror. But now he couldn't help but sigh hard after seeing it clearly. He was not handsome at all. An ordinary boy was thin but not thin. After all, except for the fact that he had almost eaten in the first few months, he had eaten since he became Lidian. He had full fish, meat, and rice, and was also natural green food. Therefore, his cheeks were full and well-proportioned. His skin was darker, which was very different from what those women said about whiteness and tenderness.

It seems that there is still a long way to go to grow into a handsome young man.

Chen Xu sighed, carefully putting away the crystal glass mirror, which is a ninth-grade magic weapon, and then took out a leather hood with a belt from the box, opened a buckle on the cover, and pulled out a one-foot-long hand gun from it.

This is the powerful weapon he said to Yu Wuya last time.

Since the first earth gun was officially built, Chen Xu asked Magen and Gongshusheng to build several earth guns in succession, constantly adjusting the trigger hammer spring and other excitation devices. After creating more than ten, he finally perfectly solved the excitation problem of the firearm, which can almost ensure easy shooting. Moreover, the success rate of one excitation is more than 80%. In other words, the development of the firearm is absolutely successful, but because it is a shotgun attack, the accuracy of shooting is not high. No sighting is needed. You can shoot along the gun bar and then shoot. You can form lethality within one hundred meters. The iron bullet can penetrate a layer of cowhide armor. Chen Xu is still very satisfied with this.

Since all the design and data of the musket have been verified, Chen Xu has designed this hand gun based on the earth gun.

The overall length of the pistol is about one foot, the barrel is cast with the best steel, the buttstock and gun handle are made of ebony, the trigger and hammer device are also reduced in proportion to the scale, the appearance is polished smoothly and shiny. The handle is also carved with the marks of wind, thunder, water and fire and the pattern of Bagua Tai Chi, which looks like a different time and space alchemy full of mysterious aura.

Holding this heavy pistol weighing almost one kilogram, Chen Xu felt extremely at ease.

He is not Huang Rong and does not know martial arts, nor is he not Guo Jing and Qiao Feng’s eighteen dragon subduing palms, so he must have a secret self-defense weapon. This handgun gave him great confidence and courage. Although the power is not very great and there is basically no big threat to twenty meters away, it is enough for self-defense weapon. Within three feet, people and animals are hard to get close to. Within one feet, a wild wolf’s head can be blasted into a blood gourd and killed with one blow.

Therefore, with this hand gun, he asked Yu Wuya to go back to Xiaohe Village in advance. This time he wanted to go back to visit relatives. It was a thousand miles away, and it was necessary to bring a hand gun with him to defend himself.

After tossing and turning, I carefully wiped the oil from the pistol, and checked the gourd and projectile sticks of the matching gunpowder. Then I inserted the pistol into the holster, and then pulled out a row of small bamboo tubes on the side of the holster to carefully check it out. I found that the gunpowder and the suede wrapped in the iron bullet did not fall loose, so I put the holster into the box and locked it.

The next morning, before the dawn was enough, the entire Qinghe Marquis' Mansion was already shouting and neighing.

Because the city gate was about to set off when the city gate was opened at the Yin hour, with the loud scolding of the housekeeper, the managers, guards, helpers, grooms, and maids all got up early, cooked, cleaned up, checked all the items that had been tied, and more than twenty carriages were ready to go.

Chen Xu also got up a big morning bed. After washing up, he finished breakfast. He took out the pistol from the box. He slapped the leather hood across his body and fastened the belt. After pulling it a few times, he found it was very solid. Then he put a windbreaker outside and walked out of the room with a wooden box.

"Marty, are we going to set off?" Several little maids waiting outside blushed with excitement.

"Well, let us know, and we will finish our meals and drinks as soon as possible and prepare to leave!" Chen Xu nodded and walked out, and several little maids quickly scattered.

When Chen Xu walked into the yard, almost all the people who needed to accompany him had arrived.

More than fifty burly guards in leather armor, grooms driving the car, helpers and chefs accompanying them, two managers and seven or eight close-fitting maids who served Chen Xu to wash, eat and drink were all wearing clean and neat clothes at this time, and they all looked at Chen Xu excitedly.

The entire Qinghe Marquis Mansion now has nearly 400 people, and there are more than 100 horses and dozens of cars. Although everyone wants to go out to visit his hometown with the Marquis to visit relatives, this is impossible. After careful selection, there are less than 100 people. Therefore, the selected people feel that they are almost excited to win the big prize.

In this era, it is impossible for ordinary people to go out for a long journey.

The first thing is the traffic problem. It is impossible to walk without a horse or a car when traveling far away.

The second is the issue of identity. Ordinary civilians with household registration cannot leave their registered residence at will, unless there is a pass and a recruitment order issued by the government. If the identity card is lost, it will be treated as a refugee and will be arrested as a slave.

The third is the security issue, and it is the main issue. The Qin Dynasty is vast and sparsely populated. Once it leaves the city, it will be wilderness, and wild animals are everywhere. One or two people dare not go on the road at all. Of course, except for a fierce man with high martial arts skills like Yu Wuya, a variety of tigers that can kill can be found in one person can go anywhere in the world.

Therefore, except for some guards who often leave the city with Chen Xu, most of the others stay in the mansion all day long, and many of them do not even have the right to leave the mansion.

This is a strict hierarchical society under strict legal constraints.

Therefore, Chen Xu had to travel thousands of miles back to Nanyang to visit relatives. The servants in the mansion who had never traveled far away were naturally very happy, and it was naturally a great honor to accompany the Marquis to go out together.

Chen Ping, Sun Shujiong Yingbu and others also came to see him off early. Hundreds of people from the newspaper office and the factory of the Academy of Sciences came, all of whom were gathered at the gate of the Marquis’ Mansion to say goodbye to the Marquis.

There were more people coming to hear the news, and countless beggars were also crowded with them. If it weren't for Qinghehou's offering porridge and clothes in the cold winter month, many people would probably not have been able to survive the day when spring is blooming.

As a dense sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer like thunder, everyone on the street outside the Hou Mansion scattered on both sides. Leading two young warriors wearing leather armor and long swords, three hundred knights with black armored bodies and archers carrying flags came, and finally they all stopped at the door of the Hou Mansion. Apart from the loud noises made by the war horses under their crotch, the military appearance was so strict that they could not hear any noise.

The two young warriors turned over and dismounted, then tidied up their armor and strode into the yard. Looking at the carriage and personnel that had been packed, the two walked to Chen Xu and bowed together.

"Bai Zhen pays homage to the Marquis of Qinghe."

"Wang Li pays homage to the Marquis of Qinghe!"

"Brother Bai, Brother Wang, is exempt from gifts!" Chen Xu smiled and helped him, "This time I will trouble you to escort the two brothers all the way. The journey is long, thank you for your hard work!"

"Haha, Qinghe Hou must not say that. We two have finally gotten this job. We stayed in Xianyang every day and felt that our bones were about to have insects!" Bai Zhen was so happy that he couldn't stop talking. He and Chen Xu had already known each other and knew Chen Xu's nature. Although the status of the two is very different now and they rarely meet on weekdays, Bai Zhen felt that there was no gap between them, which was similar to when they were together in Qinghe Town.

"That's right, I can go out with Qinghe Marquis to relax for a whole night!" Wang Li also smiled and nodded repeatedly. He was three or four years younger than Bai Zhen, and he had met Chen Xu several times. This time he begged his father Wang Ben to ask the emperor for his job. For their energetic martial artist, being able to protect Chen Xu for a long trip was almost the same as going out for a trip.

"That's good. Since the two elder brothers are here, let's go!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Sir the order of the marquis!" The two of them clasped their fists and saluted again, and after they turned to leave the mansion, the imperial guards outside the door began to line up and soon a passage was empty on the street.

Chen Xu also boarded the carriage and glanced at everyone present: "I returned to my hometown to visit relatives for two months, or at least one month. All matters in the mansion are the responsibility of the housekeeper, and everyone must follow orders!"

"Yes, Marquis!" The remaining marquis' staff who could not accompany him quickly salute together.

"Chen Pingyingbu Sun Shujiong, you must act carefully as our commands and do not make mistakes. If any abnormalities occur, please notify Zhao Qing to report to the emperor for disposal. Don't cause trouble!"

"Let's keep in mind the orders of the Marquis!" Chen Pingyingbu and others quickly saluted together.

"Please come out~" Chen Xu nodded and patted the handrail. The groom shook the reins. With the sound of driving, four horses moved together with the bridle. The carriage started and headed towards the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
