Chapter 205 When you ask this question, you already have the answer in your heart
"This..." Lanling Wang was slightly stunned. "Brother, what do you mean?"
"As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction, and great destruction leads to great construction. It doesn't matter if you don't have any soldiers. Jiahe, how many muskets did you bring back last time?"
"About ten." Su Jiahe said.
"Why is it so little? Don't we have a lot left?"
"Isn't it all returned?"
"Wait, what is a musket?" Lanling Wang suddenly interrupted.
"This is it." Su Jiahe took one out from the storage ring.
"What does this do?"
"This is a firearm, which will probably appear six hundred years after your time. It can kill enemies from a hundred steps away. Compared with those swords, spears, bows and crossbows, it is like an adult beating a child." Wang Mang explained.
"Oh? This thing is only three feet long, but it has such great power. Can I try it?" Lanling Wang carefully took the musket, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"You can't do that here. The current law prohibits the private possession of firearms. You can go back and try." Wang Mang quickly stopped him.
Lanling Wang looked at the musket in his hand, thoughtfully.
"As a subject, I must not be disloyal. However, if the emperor becomes suspicious of me and orders me to die, my family will be implicated, and I will be unjust to them. How should I choose between loyalty and righteousness?"
"Brother, when you asked this question, you already had the answer in your heart." Yingying said in a childish voice while eating fruit and blinking her big eyes.
When these words were spoken, the three people present were shocked at the same time.
"Yingying, what you said is so philosophical. Who taught you that?" Su Jiahe asked in disbelief.
"My lifelong reputation is not as bright as this little girl's." Lanling Wang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and touched Yingying's head.
"But a dozen muskets are not enough. How about I go and borrow a batch more?" Su Jiahe understood Lanling Wang's idea and was very willing to provide support.
After all, Lanling Wang, who is both virtuous and talented, is far superior to the humanoid emperors of Northern Qi.
"Jiahe, you don't have to borrow it, we can get it directly." Wang Mang said.
"Where can I get it?"
"Go to the United States."
"What?" Su Jiahe was suddenly shocked. "Is this considered weapons smuggling?"
"We're taking them to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and we're not going to use them here, so they should be fine. Besides, today's firearms are much more powerful than those in ancient times, so we don't need to get a lot."
Su Jiahe hesitated for a while and finally agreed with Wang Mang's idea.
"Well, this is indeed an unexpected path."
"Do you two mean to go somewhere else to get firearms?"
"That's right, let's go overseas together. Xiaolan, leave this matter to me. Believe me, I have experience." Wang Mang patted Lanling King on the shoulder.
"Brother Wang, my surname is not Lan, it's Gao," Su Jiahe reminded.
"Yes, yes, it's Xiao Gao, Xiao Gao."
Lanling Wang looked at Wang Mang with curiosity. Although the old man in front of him often looked cynical, he was very confident in his every move, like a hidden strategist.
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Wang. I will reward you handsomely in the future." Lanling Wang stood up and bowed to Wang Mang.
"No need, no need, please sit down. I'm helping you without expecting thanks, it's just because you did a really good thing." "Brother Wang, are we really going to the US? I need to book tickets," Su Jiahe said.
"Really, book the next flight."
"What about Yingying? She doesn't have a passport, and it's too late to get one now."
"I almost forgot about this." Wang Mang slapped his head. "Yingying, we are going abroad for business. Why don't you go back to the welfare home for a few days? I will take you out to play next time we go abroad."
"Okay, I haven't seen the Dean and Aunt Yang for a long time." Yingying said obediently.
Su Jiahe drove Yingying back to the welfare home, and then rushed to the airport with Wang Mang and Lanling Wang and boarded a flight to the United States.
"Brother Wang, where is the United States you are talking about? I have never heard of it."
"To the east of China is a vast ocean, and on the other side of the ocean is the United States, which is more than 20,000 miles away from China," said Wang Mang.
"Oh? So there is a country so far away from China." Lanling Wang said in surprise.
"Sir, just look at the map." Su Jiahe searched for a world map and handed it to Lanling King. "Look, the Xia Kingdom is here, and the United States is over there."
"It turns out that the world outside of China is so big." Lanling Wang looked at the map and couldn't help but marvel at it.
The flight lasted more than ten hours. Fortunately, Su Jiahe booked first class, so they could lie down and rest during the flight.
Other tourists were very curious about flying for the first time, but Lanling Wang was the only one who was preoccupied and lacked interest. He leaned back in his chair and looked at the sky outside the window with a serious expression.
"Hello sir, would you like some juice?"
Perhaps because of his good looks, the flight attendants were particularly enthusiastic towards Lanling King and would take the initiative to ask about his well-being every once in a while.
"No, thank you very much." Lanling Wang waved his hand absentmindedly.
"If he doesn't want to drink it, give it to me." Wang Mang reached out and took the juice from the stewardess. "The first-class service on international flights is really good. There are so many delicious foods, and even the juice is freshly squeezed."
After a twelve-hour long flight, the three finally arrived in the United States.
"Xiao Gao, you have never seen an American, right?" Wang Mang was a little worried that King Lanling would panic when he saw blond-haired and blue-eyed people all over the streets.
"Although I have never been to the United States, the people here look similar to the Hu people in the Western Regions. I guess all foreigners are like this." Lanling Wang said calmly.
"Sir, the Americans today migrated here three hundred years ago. They are similar to the Western Region Hu people you mentioned." Su Jiahe explained to Lanling King.
"Miss Su, don't call me Young Master outside. Just call me Brother like they do."
"But you're only twenty-three now, two years younger than me."
"Then you can call me Xiao Gao too."
After leaving the airport, the three of them headed straight for a local outdoor sporting goods store in the suburbs. With the help of translation software and the savvy construction English she'd learned over the years, Su Jiahe finally explained her needs to the owner. The owner opened the warehouse and unloaded several hunting rifles of various models.
Wang Mang looked at each hunting rifle and finally picked out two.
"Let's take these two. They're not only lighter, but they also have a longer range."
"Brother Wang, you also know this." Su Jiahe was a little surprised.
"Don't underestimate me. I was a militiaman back in the day and even did target shooting. Jiahe, ask them how many guns they can buy at most. I want both models."
"There are only a few of us. Buying so many hunting rifles at one time will arouse suspicion. Why don't we go to a few more stores?" Su Jiahe said.
"You're right, let's have two each."
