Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

What Qin Han presented were, of course, some firearm design drawings that were ahead of their time, selected from his memories of later generations.

Although it is not yet possible to fully realize this with current technology.

However, as long as there is a direction and a theory, it is not difficult to produce some simplified versions with the current financial and material resources of Shuzhou.

Never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Sometimes they only lack a direction and inspiration. If the world can have Thunderbolt Hall and Peacock Manor, then it's a good time to dig them up and study these groundbreaking firearms and cannons.

Yang Xiao and the others also curiously came over to take a look, and were immediately surprised by the contents and descriptions on the drawing.

"Your Highness, if... if these things could really be made, wouldn't we be... invincible?!"

Yang Xiao knew about the power of explosives before. The Qing Dynasty had flintlock guns and gunpowder guns, but they were not very powerful. They were useful for martial artists below the first-rate level, but not for innate masters.

Although it's unknown whether this cannon can actually be made, just from Qin Han's description, one can imagine its earth-shattering power if it could be successfully developed...

What grandmaster, what great grandmaster? Under a barrage of artillery fire, even a mountain would be leveled!

Next, we can focus on farming, developing our strength, researching new weapons, and waiting for the world to change.

The internal affairs of Shu Prefecture were managed by Xu Xingzhi, with Yang Xiao and others in charge. Military affairs were overseen by Li Jing, with Dong Tianbao and Qin Qiong responsible for training troops. The development of new weapons was entrusted to Zhang Junbao.

Ironically, he, the King of Shu, became the one with the most free time.

Since I rarely have such a leisurely time, I decided to enjoy it to the fullest.

So in the days that followed...

Inside the Shu King's mansion, the discussions and military reports were no longer held; instead, the ladies indulged in singing, dancing, fine wine, and delicious food.

During the day, he would take his ladies to enjoy the flowers and fish in the garden of the Prince's mansion, or go on a private visit to the streets of Chengdu to taste various local snacks. He lived a very pleasant life.

Cheng Ying and A Zhu are gentle and charming. With the help of the four maids Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, they manage the internal affairs of the Prince's Mansion in an orderly manner, never causing Qin Han any worry.

Zhong Ling is quirky and mischievous. She often takes Xiao Zhao, a model student, everywhere and corrupts Xiao Zhao. The two girls often come up with novel ideas that make everyone laugh.

Since the Lu family manor recently moved here, Lu Wushuang, Cheng Ying's cousin, also came along. In addition, Yang Xiao's daughter, Yang Buhui, the four girls added a lively and youthful atmosphere to the manor.

Qin Keqing is gentle and considerate. Recently, she has been quietly staying by Qin Han's side, serving him tea and water, and massaging his legs and shoulders.

Finally, there's Lin Shiyin, who's been spending a lot of time with Ruan Xingzhu lately, handling some of the Ruan family's trivial matters for Ruan Xingzhu.

Princess Yelü Yan of the Liao Dynasty gradually let go of her inhibitions and integrated into this big family.

She possessed the forthrightness of a woman from the grasslands, and was skilled in both riding and archery. She would often take Qin Han outside the city to ride horses, allowing him to experience the unrestrained passion of the women of the grasslands.

What Qin Han enjoyed most was naturally his time alone with Li Canghai.

The two would often meet on the roof of the Prince's mansion late at night, enjoying fine wine and discussing martial arts.

Li Canghai's Free and Easy Wind Control and Qin Han's Dragon God Skill, two cultivation techniques comparable to immortality, both gained great inspiration through exchange and interaction.

Qin Han even taught Li Canghai some of the techniques of the Dragon God Skill.

It's a pity that Li Canghai couldn't learn it. It wasn't that he lacked talent or comprehension; perhaps, as the opening of the Dragon God Skill states, only those with great fortune can learn it.

Qin Han indeed discovered that since taking charge of Sichuan, the Dragon God Skill had improved rapidly, advancing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This feeling of having both power and beauty under his control captivated Qin Han.

The land of gentle pleasures is the graveyard of heroes.

The ancients are not deceived by me.

On this day, Qin Han, seeing that everyone had worked hard for a while, held a grand banquet at the Prince's Palace.

Not only did everyone in the Prince's Mansion attend, but also Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng, Xu Xingzhi, Li Jing, Qin Qiong and other high-ranking officials of Shu Prefecture were invited.

The banquet was filled with the clinking of glasses and lively conversation.

As the lord, Qin Han was naturally the focus of everyone's toasts.

He was in a good mood today and didn't intend to use his inner energy to expel the alcohol from his body. He accepted every drink offered and drank one cup after another, thoroughly enjoying himself.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Everyone was somewhat drunk.

Yang Xiao was clearly drunk and began to show off by reciting his own poems; he still harbored a dream of becoming a poet immortal.

Zhou Dian was also drunk and insisted on dragging Wei Yixiao along to compete in a foot-strength contest.

Li Jing and Xu Xingzhi were rare clear-headed individuals, and they took the time to discuss the future military deployment of Shu Province.

Dong Tianbao and Qin Qiong got along very well, and the two often discussed and exchanged ideas on training methods.

The scene was quite lively.

Looking at the harmonious scene before him, Qin Han felt a surge of pride and joy.

In just over a year since he transmigrated, he has built such a powerful empire, with numerous fierce generals and strategists under his command, and even more beautiful women by his side.

At this point in life, what more could one ask for?

"Your Highness, you've had quite a bit to drink. Let me help you back to rest."

Seeing that Qin Han was already drunk and his eyes were blurry, Qin Keqing said with some concern.

"I...I'm not drunk!" Qin Han slurred, waving his hand. "I can still drink!"

He picked up his glass and was about to drink it all in one gulp.

"Your Highness!"

Li Canghai's slightly reproachful voice rang out as she extended her jade-like fingers and pressed them against Qin Han's wrist.

A cool stream of true energy flowed into Qin Han's body, clearing his somewhat dizzy mind.

"Alright, stop drinking," Li Canghai said gently. "If you drink any more, you'll have a headache tomorrow."

Qin Han chuckled as he looked at the concerned eyes of the two beauties before him, and then leaned into Li Canghai's arms.

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife, we won't drink anymore, we...we'll go back to sleep..."

Li Canghai blushed and glared at him playfully.

Supported by the two women, Qin Han was half-carried back to his palace.

But no one noticed.

Under the combined influence of alcohol and lust, this man, who had already blacked out, got up to relieve himself in the middle of the night. On his way back, he inexplicably turned into the wrong corridor.

At the end of that corridor was an elegant and tranquil guest room.

The room should belong to Azhu...

At the banquet, Ruan Xingzhu also drank some wine and was now sitting by the window, slightly tipsy, enjoying the night breeze.

I won't be going back to the Ruan residence tonight. I plan to spend the night at my daughter's place. Looking at the bright moon outside the window, I wonder where my youngest daughter is now.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

A tall figure, reeking of alcohol, staggered in.

"Who?"

Ruan Xingzhu was startled.

The night was hazy, but by the moonlight filtering through the window and the firelight inside the house, I could make out the face of the person who had come in.

It was actually... the King of Qin?

How did he end up here?

Qin Han reeked of alcohol, his steps were unsteady, and his eyes were blurry with drunkenness; he was clearly intoxicated.
