Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 96 Big sister, you can't hold my gun (please subscribe)

Following Yang Chen's gaze, I saw a woman who was still childish but full of ambition standing on the square training ground.

She is a little over 1.6 meters tall and is wearing a well-tailored black suit, which makes her youthful and well-developed figure particularly eye-catching, and every line reveals vitality.

Looking up from below, Yang Chen had to admit that he had never seen such a natural and unadorned little beauty.

The woman's face was like a peach blossom in full bloom in spring, with rosy cheeks and bright almond eyes. She was so beautiful that she seemed like a fairy walking out of a painting.

The previous cursing and intense exercise caused fine beads of sweat to continuously ooze out of her snow-white goose neck, like morning dew dotting the petals of newly opened flowers.

As her breathing rose and fell, her chest also rose and fell irregularly.

Gudong~
Yang Chen stared at it in a daze, swallowing his saliva subconsciously.

He dared to guarantee that any man with normal sexual orientation would be amazed by this erotic scene.

You will definitely be attracted to it.

Women who are full of youthfulness are different from those who are tainted by customs.

"Forget it. This girl looks fierce. It's better not to provoke her."

After coming to his senses, Yang Chen made a judgment by observing the surrounding situation.

I was ready to turn around and leave. This flower is beautiful, but also very dangerous.

"Huh? Who are you? How dare you sneak into my yard!"

Yang Chen was at an entrance, less than fifty meters away from the woman.

The sound of me raising my foot to leave seemed to be noticed by the other person.

With a swish, the woman twisted her waist slightly and immediately moved her body to face Yang Chen.

The two looked at each other in mid-air, and Yang Chen was about to say hello and explain that he was just a lost passerby.

However, he didn't expect the woman's voice to drown out his own.

"You lecher! How dare you sneak into the general's mansion! And how dare you spy on me! I'll catch you!"

In an instant, a long black spear that was more than half a head taller than her was swung in her hand at an astonishing speed.

Yang Chen would probably be too tired to wield this weapon, let alone wield it. Even if he just picked it up and swept it around twice, he would be exhausted.

It fell into the other person's hands, as if it was nothing.

With a kick of her feet, the woman turned into a black shadow and quickly approached Yang Chen.

The long spear was like a meteor in the air, attacking him with great force.

In Yang Chen's eyes, before he had a chance to react, he saw the cold light of the long spear flash, and the woman's body was less than five meters away from him.

Faced with this terrible scene, he had only one thought in his mind.

"run!"

Thinking he had found his footing, Yang Chen turned and ran.

It's a pity it's too late.

Because the long spear passed by his ear and pierced into the rockery at the entrance of the passage in front of him with amazing force.

As the sound was heard, a hole appeared on the rockery, and a lot of rubble fell off.

The foot, which had just taken less than two steps, was suspended in mid-air.

With his life hanging by a thread, Yang Chen seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, with cold sweat oozing out of his forehead.

"Good fellow! This is an underage rose with thorns. Whoever wants to marry her can marry her. I will never have the chance to enjoy this blessing in my lifetime.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are better, they are gentle and obedient, and they can do whatever they want."

“If it weren’t for my kindness, the hole in the stone would have appeared on your head!

Tell me! Who are you? How did you get in? Otherwise, next time, this spear will pierce your head!"

Mu Lingxi, who was standing behind Yang Chen, said in a strong voice.

"Well, young lady, I just accidentally got lost and ended up in your precious place."

Yang Chen tried hard to calm himself down, so as not to be misunderstood as a pervert, which would be a bad sign.

The explanation is not clear and it ends up with a bad reputation.

This is not his character.

"Bah! Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? I just stopped practicing the long spear for a few breaths, and you stared at me for several breaths.

If I really got lost by accident, why didn't I talk to anyone I met? And I looked at him for a long time with lustful eyes!

I think you are a pervert!"

Mu Lingxi obviously didn't trust Yang Chen's words, and said it in a heroic tone.

At the same time, with a twist of his wrist, the long spear was pulled out from the rockery.

This scene happened in front of Yang Chen, after estimation.

This woman actually stabbed a 34-centimeter-long spear into the stone for nearly 20 centimeters!

"Holy crap? Did this woman take any drugs or is she a mutant?

Could it be that Lao Zhu placed a muscular loli next to me in order to control me?"

Yang Chen widened his eyes and rubbed them to prevent himself from hallucinations.

Finally, I was sure that I was not mistaken.

The opponent used brute force to pierce the spear head into the rockery.

The force is so strong that it can be seen with the naked eye.

"Turn around!"

When all the weapons were drawn out, a dull thud was heard from the ground.

Mu Lingxi ordered in a delicate voice.

Yang Chen raised his hands to his ears, making an 'I surrender' gesture.

Seeing this, Mu Lingxi just frowned slightly, not knowing what this meant.

However, seeing that the other party had nothing in his hands and was keeping a safe distance from him, he didn't say anything.

After a while, Yang Chen slowly turned around and was finally able to observe Mu Lingxi from a close distance.

To be precise, both of them can observe the details of each other.

Mu Lingxi, dressed in martial arts training clothes, tied her long hair into a high ponytail, a hairstyle rarely seen on women in the Ming Dynasty.

When he went out on the street, Yang Chen saw that most ordinary women had their hair tied up, and only women from slightly better-off families had their hair tied up with ornaments.

It is rare to see someone tying someone up directly with thin ropes like Mu Lingxi did.

Before he came, the other party must have been practicing for some time.

From the sweet sweat seeping out from the forehead and neck, you can tell that these parts are sticky with black hair.

At the same time, her nose slightly widened and her teeth slightly opened, making her look like she was breathing heavily.

"Are you a monk who has returned to secular life?"

Just like everyone else, people who saw him with short hair subconsciously thought he was a monk who had returned to secular life and was growing his hair long.

“No, if you are General Mu’s daughter.

Then I am your fiancé, and today it is your father who asked me to come to your house for a meal."

Before Yang Chen could finish his words, Mu Lingxi suddenly became extremely excited.

"So it's you! Humph!

I warn you! I will not marry you! My father proposed the marriage to me without my consent.

Since you want to get married, let him marry you!
Otherwise, I will kill you now!"

Mu Lingxi's face became even redder due to her excitement.

Breathing is also more disordered.

None of this matters.

What’s important is that the spear head that had just been inserted into the stone was clearly aimed at Yang Chen’s neck.

The weapon swung in the direction he moved.

It makes people feel very insecure.

"Well, Xiao Ling, can you please put down your weapon first?

This thing is really disturbing. If you get hurt by it and can't do anything, the emperor will blame your father."

Yang Chen spoke in a kind and persuasive manner.

It doesn't sound reasonable, but it's not completely nonsense.

"Bullshit! The emperor is my grandfather! Just you? You are not worthy of letting my father be blamed!

If you keep talking nonsense, I'll be rude to you!"

Even though Mu Lingxi was a head smaller than Yang Chen, she didn't seem to be nervous at all.

Not only that, he took a step forward and brought the spear head closer.

"Oh my God! If this young lady were in the future, she might be a big sister."

It's really violent, and you're not polite to me?

Have you ever been polite to me since I showed up?'

Yang Chen secretly swore in his heart, wait, wait until he makes a double-barreled shotgun in the future, he will see if these guys holding cold weapons can still do this!

'Yeah! I have a gun!'

"Ahem, Xiao Ling, I heard from your father that you admire martial arts. Do you know that there is a term called "winning without fighting"? "

Yang Chen's tone was calm, as if he had everything planned out.

"How did I win unfairly? You were so far away from me just now, and you tried to run away, but I just caught up with you!"

Mu Lingxi used the Taigong fishing posture unique to long weapons, and the tip of the spear was always pointing in the direction of Yang Chen's neck.

If he made the slightest movement, Mu Lingxi would be able to subdue him instantly.

Recalling everything that has happened since the two of them met.

Mu Lingxi still stated confidently that she did not win unfairly.

Recalling the scene of himself turning around and running just now, Yang Chen felt a little embarrassed.

I really wanted to touch my nose before talking, but the current situation seemed a little uncomfortable.

So he coughed his throat.

"My escape is another matter. What I want to say is that my victory was unfair. Look, you have weapons in your hands, while I have nothing.

As the saying goes, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, since you are armed and I am empty-handed, in comparison, isn't your victory unfair?"

Yang Chen didn't move his body, but kept looking down to indicate that the other party still had a weapon in his hand.

Then he added:
"Since you admire martial arts, you must know that when two people fight, they must be equal.

You are armed, but you are bullying me, an unarmed person. It is really ridiculous."

After hearing what he said, Mu Lingxi, who originally believed that she was right, fell into deep thought.

The strength to hold the weapon has diminished a bit.

Then he slowly lowered his head, thinking back to what Yang Chen had just said, which seemed to make some sense.

"Is what he said true? Did I win unfairly?
He was unarmed, and I was armed, so to outsiders, it seemed like I was bullying him."

After some inner struggle, Mu Lingxi suddenly raised her head and retracted the spear.

It hit the ground hard, making a crisp sound.

The little head was raised proudly, and his whole body was like a taut slingshot.

“Humph! Since you said I have no weapon, then where are you going to pick one?

Here we go again.

To express my apology for what happened just now, I allow you three moves!
This doesn't count as bullying you, right?"

The danger was over, and Yang Chen knew Mu Lingxi well.

This is a beautiful girl, but also a rose with thorns.

Just a little stupid.

You can tell at first glance that he has become stupid from practicing martial arts.

Since the other party took the initiative to bump into him, there is no reason for him not to get back at him!
She straightened her clothes slightly and looked in the direction Mu Lingxi pointed.

On the side of where she practiced martial arts before, there was a row of fences for visiting weapons.

All kinds of weapons including swords, spears, swords and halberds are there.

He really couldn't understand how Mu Ying raised his daughter.

Could it be that this person is Qin Liangyu's ancestor?
On closer thought this idea was quickly dispelled.

Qin Liangyu was from Sichuan and Chongqing, and was over 1.85 meters tall. Her physique alone was taller than 90 percent of men of her generation.

If history had not changed, Mu Ying would have gone to Yunnan to guard the border in the future.

There is absolutely no possibility that the two are connected.

"Xiao Ling, I don't know how to use any of your weapons.

Even if I were given the opportunity to use it, it would still be an unfair victory."

Yang Chen rejected the other party's idea of ​​challenging him to a duel with weapons without even thinking about it.

Seeing this, Mu Lingxi was obviously a little anxious.

“Why not?

You are a man, but you can't even use a weapon? Are you lying to me on purpose?"

Mu Lingxi's fair oval face and black eyes kept examining Yang Chen.

Want to see if the other person is lying.

"How could I lie to you? You've already seen that I can't even outrun you, let alone fight you with your weapons."

"What do you want?"

Mu Lingxi looked at Yang Chen with a reproachful look.

Today was an extremely bad day for her, and her temper seemed to be even worse than usual.

"How about this, give me thirty days, and after thirty days, I will fight you, and if I lose to you, the engagement will be cancelled.

If I win, it will be up to you to decide whether this marriage will go ahead.

how is it? "

Hearing this, Mu Lingxi looked at Yang Chen with strange eyes, wondering frantically in her heart what tricks the other party was playing.
'This guy's eyes are wandering, and you can tell at a glance that he is thinking about some messed up things.

If I kill him now, it won't work. My father told me that this guy has a special status and my grandmother protects him.

If my father killed him without permission, he would definitely be scolded by my grandfather.

If my father turns around and asks my mother to make trouble for me, won’t I be at a great disadvantage?
But this guy is willing to fight me after thirty days. It will take so long, will there be any accidents? '

Thinking of this, Mu Lingxi's eyes became firm, but then she shook her head.

"Humph! I just don't believe it. Can this guy turn from a wild chicken into a phoenix in three days? He couldn't even run faster than me just now."

After thirty days, he can become Zhao Zilong! '

"Okay! Then I'll listen to you."

After making a decision in her heart, Mu Lingxi agreed to Yang Chen's request.

In her opinion, the other party was seeking his own death, no matter how much time was given.

Yang Chen will definitely be defeated by her.

"The agreement is made. We will meet again in thirty days. I won't bother you any more."

After saying this, Yang Chen turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait! What's your name!?"

He had just taken two steps and was about to hide behind the corner when he heard Mu Lingxi's voice calling from behind.

After a pause, Yang Chen wanted to turn around and shout.

But he shook his head and smiled, then continued walking, only answering in a very loud voice.

"Yang Chen!
Yang of poplar, Chen of morning light! "

Looking in the direction where the other person disappeared with her almond-shaped eyes, Mu Lingxi opened her pink lips slightly, touched her teeth up and down, and muttered:
"Yang Chen. Humph! In thirty days, I will beat you into a bleating sheep!"

Get out of here.

Walking back along the same path he had just come, Yang Chen recalled the conversation between the two of them.

He really didn't expect that there would be a woman with such a special personality in this era.

"Sixteen years old? According to the school age, he should not have graduated from junior high school yet. This is really too sinful.

But it's not bad to be able to be a training system. Who knows, she may become the only female general in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

I don’t know how Mu Ying trained this girl to be proficient in all kinds of martial arts.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a good brain. After 30 days, I want to see how she can block my gun! "

As he was walking, he suddenly heard Mu Ying's voice calling from not far ahead.

"Son-in-law? My good son-in-law? Where are you?"

"Have you guys seen my son-in-law? He's a handsome young man with short hair."

"Replying to the master! It seems that we did see a young man, and he was walking towards the young lady's compound."

"What! Heading towards the young lady's yard? You guys! Ouch!

Why didn't you stop him? "

Mu Ying grabbed a few servants who were handling miscellaneous items and asked them about Yang Chen.

When I learned about this situation, I immediately became anxious.

Without paying any attention to the other party, he quickly headed towards his daughter's yard.

After taking two steps, he saw Yang Chen waving at him.

"General Mu! Don't worry, I'm fine."

After finding Yang Chen, Mu Ying's heart finally settled down.

"Oh my! Son-in-law Yang Chen, you are really good at scaring people. You almost scared me to death.

Why did you end up here when there are so many other places to go?
If something goes wrong, how can I explain it to my mother?"

As he spoke, Mu Ying looked into the distance to see if there was anyone familiar in the corner of the passage.

Fortunately, what he guessed and expected did not happen.

"Since the Queen is here, why don't you have a meal together? I'm sorry I got lost while walking.

The Queen will not blame me, right?"

Only then did he remember that Queen Ma had arrived a long time ago, but he had just slipped away.

Add in the time spent in confrontation with Mu Lingxi.

I seem to have lost some manners.

He hurriedly asked if Queen Ma was still there.

"The queen didn't blame you, but she has returned to the palace."

"Back to the palace? Why so suddenly? Didn't you say she came to see me?"

He only appeared for a short while before returning to the palace. This shouldn't have happened.

After all, it is not easy for the queen to leave the palace, considering Zhu's personality.

How could he bear to let his sister leave?

In the past, there was a huge fuss because Empress Ma left the palace and went to Zhejiang for a trip for ten days or half a month.

Therefore, when Empress Ma wanted to leave, she always had to spend some effort to make Zhu Yuanzhang not worry.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but based on what people in the palace said.

It should be related to the Eastern Palace, and seems to be something about the Crown Princess. As a general, I didn’t ask any more questions about what it was. "

Carefully recalling the news reported by the servants who had just rushed in from the palace in the hall.

He could only guess one or two of them.

He couldn't give the other party a complete answer as to what was going on.

"Eastern Palace? That should be Ah Biao's family affair, we have no right to interfere in it.

By the way, General Mu, I have something to ask you?"

Yang Chen was not curious about this, but changed the subject, raised his hand and pointed to the back and asked:
"How did you raise your daughter? Didn't you say she was a lady from a wealthy family?
Why can't she play the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or tailoring that the ladies of noble families master? Instead, she likes to wield swords and clubs. Just now, I accidentally barged in and was almost pierced through the head by her long spear! "

Take a few minutes to describe everything that has just happened to you.

From the two people meeting, to the conflict, to the final resolution of the crisis.

Fortunately, Yang Chen is a carefree person, otherwise, most people would have been scared to death after what happened just now.

A life-or-death crisis hanging by a thread, most people would be scared, right?

With the vivid description, Mu Ying could already imagine what happened during their encounter.

However, facing Yang Chen's questioning, Mu Ying also sighed and seemed quite helpless.

"Hey! Son-in-law, you don't understand, Ling'er is my only daughter, she was born together with my eldest son Muchun.

When I found out I was going to be a father and had twins, you can't tell me how happy I was.

But she was born in the 23rd year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty.

That era was so chaotic!
I have been running around on the front lines with my adoptive father. Don't look at me as being so powerful now.

To outsiders, he is the Marquis of Xiping, but in the past, any of my adoptive father's brothers was stronger than me.

Before I was awarded the title, I was a soldier carrying a banner in the military camp.

Every time I fight, I am the target of enemies who want to gain the merit of capturing the flag.

As a result, I was often injured and could only recuperate in the army. When I recovered, I had to continue my training. I had little contact with my family."

At this moment, Mu Ying seemed to be treating Yang Chen as someone he could confide in.

After all, like most men, he had to give up accompanying his family in order to make a living.

Mu Lingxi didn't understand her father at first.

Later, Mu Ying returned from Xifan, which is the Tubo area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Living and fighting in high altitude areas for a long time makes the body unable to bear the stress, and naturally it will cause some persistent diseases.

Especially during the period when I first came back, I would always have outbursts in front of my children.

After this, Mu Lingxi made up her mind to practice martial arts well.

Wait until I join the army for my father in the future.

“So, Ling’er’s personality is more or less caused by my negligence.

She is sixteen now. According to folk customs, a girl of this age would have already become a mother.

But she is different. She looks down on everyone and even makes bold statements to all the noblemen in the capital.

She said that only those who could beat her would be qualified to propose marriage. "

It’s pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. Yang Chen actually wanted to comfort the other party. It was not his fault.

But then he thought again, if he was comforting the other person, who would comfort him?
I got this marriage for no apparent reason, but luckily I got to see her today, she's a beauty.

At the same time, I have to have some tricks, otherwise it would be really dangerous.

"General Mu, I won't pursue Xiao Ling's affairs any further, just let things take their course.

After thirty days, I will have defeated her. As her father, it is up to you to decide whether the marriage should continue.

Anyway, I am alone, so it doesn’t matter whether I get married or not.”

According to his idea, a political marriage might be unpleasant for a general like Mu Ying.

This was also the case even if it was arranged by Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Not to mention that his daughter, whom he felt guilty about, was resisting this matter.

By then, he wins, and the choice is in the hands of the other party.

After all, a forced melon is not sweet. He admits that Mu Lingxi is very beautiful, but this does not mean that he will forcibly possess her just because of her looks.

This is very contrary to his inner moral principles.

Yang Chen's words made Mu Ying feel warm inside.

Ever since his daughter reached marriageable age, the road in front of the mansion was clogged with people coming to propose marriage.

How many people have heard that Mu Lingxi is not only beautiful but also has a hot temper.

In fact, sometimes people are contradictory. They know that the other person has a bad temper, but they choose to ignore it because of his or her appearance.

For this reason, the children of the powerful tried their best to express their love to Mu Lingxi.

Writing lyrics or poetry is just a piece of cake.

Some people even fly kites outside the yard and write their love expressions on them in order to catch a glimpse of her beauty.

This is why Mu Lingxi's courtyard is located deep in the mansion, surrounded by rockery for protection.

It is to prevent these guys from doing anything wrong.

As for why they were not afraid of Mu Ying's identity.

Naturally, the identities of these young masters are not simple.

In the Ming Dynasty, most of the young people who can live here freely and easily are descendants of court ministers, or they are relatives.

It is impossible for Mu Ying to clean them all up directly.

They can only catch a group of people after a period of time, warn them and then send them back to their homes.

Then after a while someone else showed up.

Compared with those powerful and wealthy young men who are stupid and have no ambitions, it is easy to tell who is stronger and who is weaker than Yang Chen.

Not to mention that Yang Chen also has Queen Ma’s guarantee.

"Don't worry, son-in-law! Even if you lose, your father-in-law won't let you leave!
I couldn't give Ling'er happiness before, but now that you are here, I believe you can definitely give Ling'er what I couldn't give her."

Yang Chen: “?”

I thought that after saying so much, Mu Ying would definitely not agree with this marriage.

Who would have thought that the other party not only had no intention of helping his daughter get out of the marriage, but was even more supportive of it!

I am the kind of person who is unwilling to let go!

"Well, General Mu, you..."

Yang Chen was stunned and speechless, ready to explain.

But he was interrupted by Mu Ying.

"Son-in-law, let's not stand here anymore, the food is not cold yet.

Since your mother couldn't eat, then you should come with me to have a meal. My wife knows my daughter better.

She has a lot to tell you.”

Without waiting for Yang Chen to speak, Mu Ying took him away.

There was nothing special about the meal, just chatting about family matters.

Mrs. Mu, on the other hand, kept asking where Yang Chen came from, whether his parents were still alive, etc.

But Yang Chen just evaded all the questions.

Mu Ying happily accompanied him at the side without saying much.

The couple's unusual behavior made Yang Chen understand one thing.

That is, Mu Ying wanted to know his specific identity, but Empress Ma did not make it clear just now.

But I got the other party's affirmation, so I kept asking around.

However, Yang Chen did not intend to reveal his identity to too many people.

The identity of a time traveler is too sensitive, and he doesn't want anyone except a few key people to know his true origins.

After dinner, Yang Chen returned home on his own with the guards arranged by Mu Ying.

In order to take revenge, Yang Chen plans to let Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong take turns serving him tonight!
Time flies, and ten days pass in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhu Di, wearing casual clothes, jumped off the back of the majestic horse named Taxue.

He threw the reins directly to the servant outside the mansion.

After entering the courtyard, he was already very familiar with the surrounding roads.

Today is the day that Yang Chen agreed with him.

Yao Guangxiao had already been arranged by him, and the next step was to wait for Yang Chen to take a seat.

Walking with ease on the path full of green plants.

As Zhu Di just reached the intersection of the sandy road, he heard a loud explosion not far away.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Di paused.

All I saw was a thick cloud of black smoke with sparks and people screaming.

"Quick, quick, quick! Put out the fire, put out the fire!"

"Don't worry about the fire! Save people!"

"Don't worry about him. Taoist Xuanhe has already ascended. Let's quickly look for the sulfuric acid that Lord Yang mentioned."

In the center of the sand, a group of guys with bloodshot eyes, black panda circles around their eyes, and wearing tattered Taoist robes were discussing frantically.

Zhu Di passed by them and learned what had happened during the days when he was not there.

First of all, there are the dead.

Originally there were dozens of alchemists under Yang Chen's arrangement.

The number of people is gradually decreasing at the rate of one person being sacrificed every day.

Up to now, there are less than fifteen alchemists left, including the Taoist Xuanhe who just died.

Everyone just felt sorry for him for a while, and then went back to their own business.

As for the burnt body full of holes, they didn't even look at it.

Because someone will come to collect the body soon.

Zhu Di ignored this group of "crazy people".

At first he thought Yang Chen's actions were too cruel.

But later I learned about it from my eldest brother.

All of these alchemists deserve to be put to death.

The Taoist Xuanhe who died just now was a criminal from a county under the jurisdiction of Luoyang, Henan.

This bastard used all sorts of tricks to deceive the people in the county, and even teamed up with the county government to make people from the entire county pay large amounts of money and food into their private pockets in the form of incense taxes.

What’s even more hateful is that this Taoist Xuanhe also likes young girls.

Many girls who had just turned eight years old were forced to serve him.

Every girl was eventually tortured by him to the point of losing her mind, and when she returned home, she had become a retarded child.

In Zhu Di's eyes, such a bastard was so despicable that he wanted to be skinned alive and have his heart dug out.

But now it seems that letting the other party die without a complete body is also a good outcome.

Soon, Zhu Di arrived at the door of a classroom.

There was a joyous atmosphere inside.

"Master Yang! It's done! It's done!

The black powder granulation just now was successful!

Only twenty kilograms are needed to produce such a huge explosion. If it is wrapped with hemp rope or cloth, the power will definitely increase by 30%!"

The person standing on the square tables and shouting wildly was Wen Huabiao.

At this moment, he was holding the hardened, bean-sized black gunpowder in his hand and shaking it continuously.

Yang Chen picked one up and looked at it carefully.

After testing, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not crush the black powder.

It can withstand a certain pressure test, that is, these granulated black powder can be transported for a long time without causing dispersion problems.

"Good! Good! Old Wen, you did a great job! It only took ten days to granulate the gunpowder.

What about the cost? How much does it cost to pelletize this black powder?

Wars are fought with money. If the cost of making gunpowder is too high, Yang Chen can only regretfully say that these experiments are failures.

"Five hundred kilograms! Only ten taels of silver are needed!
Sir Yang, I have tried it! Five hundred catties and ten taels of silver is the lowest cost, but the more gunpowder you make, the less money you will spend!

If it can produce tens of thousands of pounds at a time, it only costs two silver coins!

That shouldn’t be too much, right?”

Wen Huabiao scratched his head and said uncertainly.

At the same time, he looked at the acquaintance next to him.

"Master Tao! Please say something! Am I right?"

A loud noise rang in his ears. Tao Chengdao rubbed his ears and wanted to say something.

But in the end, he took back his intention to speak and chose to nod.

Wen Huabiao was delighted to be recognized, and his old face was filled with wrinkles.

"Very good, you have all made great contributions this time.

I will report this matter to His Majesty truthfully, and then every one of you will be rewarded!"

Yang Chen put down what he was holding and told everyone the good news.

"Sir, according to your request, we only used the new technology to make the barrel. I don't know if it can be used."

The achievement of granulated black powder means that the grenade is only half a step away from being successfully produced.

What he wanted most was a gun.

The blacksmith picked up a black pipe about fifty centimeters long with his rough, calloused hands.

The long iron pipe has been frosted.

The outside doesn't feel that rough to the touch, but I don't know what the inside looks like.

Yang Chen closed one eye, held the gun barrel up to the sunlight, and then used the light to look at the internal structure.

Fortunately, the internal structure did not disappoint him. The rifling carved using the rotating model looked very neat.

Generally speaking, there are two types of double-barreled shotguns.

One is a smoothbore barrel with a smooth interior and no rifling.

This type of firearm is designed specifically for firing shotguns.

Once the bullets are fired, they immediately disperse, forming a cloud of pellets that covers a wide area.

It is easy to operate and is mostly used in hunting and competitive games.

The rifled barrel is used to equip weapons to hit people.

The rifling can give the bullet a certain rotational force, maintain its flight trajectory and improve accuracy.

During these ten days, several masters were responsible for carving hundreds of rifled gun barrels.

This one is one of the few that can be visually inspected to have no loopholes or errors.

The necessary components for a double-barreled shotgun are almost complete.

The next task is to piece it together and see if it can be used.

As for integrated ammunition, this is a very difficult technology to overcome.

After all, this was ancient times, and there was no hydraulic stamping method.

The integrated ammunition produced solely by manual labor cannot be mass-produced at all.

Compared to this technology, carving rifling inside the barrel is a relatively simple task.

"Well, three masters, you did a great job.

But you still need to persist for twenty days. During these days I hope you can make the buckle, trigger and fan vortex.

With these things, the double-barreled shotgun can exert its true power!"

Yang Chen slapped the table and spoke to them expectantly.

Faced with these requests, the blacksmith did not refuse.

Instead, he accepted it with great enthusiasm.

"Don't worry, Lord Yang! The three of us brothers will definitely make what you want!
Whether it's for the Ming Dynasty or for the sake of forging the legendary magic weapon! "

"please!"

Then a few people took the construction drawings and left.

"Master Yang, if that's the case, then I'll get busy. No one is watching those alchemists, and I'm worried that they might cause trouble."

Tao Chengdao also said that he wanted to leave.

He had already confirmed from Yang Chen that in order to fly safely into the sky, solid fuel was required.

In other words, black powder is completely ineffective and liquid fuel must be used.

As for refining liquid fuel, it all depends on whether the alchemists can produce the three acids and two alkalis that Yang Chen needs.

When the conditions are met in the future, his dream will be within reach.

When the crowd dispersed and Yang Chen was about to pack up, he glanced out the door and saw Zhu Di attacking him.

"Yongle!? Why did you come to my place to eat and drink for free again?"

Thinking about these days, Zhu Di would come to his mansion to harass him from time to time.

Or I just want to see his reasons for using weapons in the future.

I originally wanted to refuse. After all, my job would be very confidential in the future.

However, he underestimated how shameless Zhu Di was.

Even if the other party is not allowed to come in, he can still find a way to sneak into the mansion.

After a while, Yang Chen just ignored him.

"Yang Chen! Have you forgotten what you promised me yesterday?
You promised to come with me to see the old monk!"

Zhu Di's carefree personality made him speak subconsciously a little loudly.

Thinking of Yao Guangxiao, he suddenly became cautious and whispered in Yang Chen's ear.

It seems that he is worried about exposing the other party's identity.

Yang Chen thought for a moment and then remembered that he had indeed agreed.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Let me go change my clothes."

Regarding the fact that Yao Guangxiao was going to meet him, Yang Chen had gone from initial anticipation to current calmness.

He was just a historical monk. He didn't believe that the other party could do anything to him.

"Okay! In that case, I'll wait for you outside the door!"

After getting a positive answer, the last big stone in Zhu Di's heart finally fell.

After a while, Yang Chen, who had changed all his clothes, arrived outside the mansion.

Traveling is still done by horseback riding.

There's no way, he's still not used to the carriage.

The two men were on horseback, moving slowly along the street.

When the people around saw what they were wearing, they chose to avoid them.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that ordinary people could not afford such clothes and such a handsome horse.

“Hey, hey, hey, since you want me to meet Daoyan, we have to find a place, right?
Where are you taking me?"

Yang Chen turned his head and asked the other party what his next goal was.

"Baihua Tower!"

Zhu Di introduced this place with a smile.

“My father really dislikes places like brothels, but brothels are where only a few dignitaries stay.

Many people raised objections, so brothels were able to open again a few years ago.

This Baihua Tower is a great place. I heard that the singers and dancers here come from all over the world.

There are not only gentle women from the south of the Yangtze River, but also hot and sexy women from the western regions. "

"You arranged for me and Yao Guangxiao to meet here?"

Yang Chen first said this with a slightly surprised look.

Then he added with a hint of curiosity:

"Then I have to go and criticize this place. What's so good about brothels?"
