"Lord, this is the fourth attack. Yue Jingyu's junior brother saluted and said.

Yue Jingyu sat on the futon, and after hearing the report of his junior brother, "How was the result?"

"Qinglian's strength is stronger than we judged. The junior disciple said, "Counting this time, there are already hundreds of cultivators who have fallen in front of him, and he ......."

"How?" said Yue Jingyu.

"There was no impact on it. The junior brother lowered his head and said.

Yue Jingyu slowly stood up, took a few steps forward, and stared into the distance, that is, the direction where Qinglian was: "I want to sharpen him, make him sharper, and defeat him when he is in the best condition, so that I can directly break the last backbone of Datang." What I didn't expect was that Qinglian's sword was even sharper than I imagined. I have completed the sublimation of myself by my hand. ”

The junior brother thought for a while and asked, "Master Guan, are you going to make a move?"

Yue Jingyu said: "It's not time yet, his momentum has not yet reached its peak. Now that the contest has begun, there is no need to stop it. Let's wait and see what height Qinglian can reach. ”

"There's also an extremely tricky weapon on the Academy's side. The junior brother said.

"You said that kind of tubular weapon that can spray out all kinds of weapons?" Yue Jingyu said: "Don't forget, there is also a Zhou Fei in the academy, and that is a person who can't even record the secret records of the Heavenly Dao, and his origin is definitely not simple. ”

"Senior brother, what do you mean by this?" Senior brother frowned: "Could it be that Zhou Fei is not from the Great Wilderness?"

Yue Jingyu said: "The world is very big, we are small, everything is possible. ”

The junior brother put one hand up on his chest, "Senior brother Gao Jian." ”

"What a high opinion. Yue Jingyu said: "It's just some speculation without evidence." ”

The junior brother thought for a moment and asked, "Senior brother, what should the young master do? He is still in the academy, do you need me to bring the young master back?"

Yue Jingyu said: "No need, since he has already made his choice, there is no need for us to interfere." He'll be back sooner or later anyway. ”

The junior brother didn't say anything more, and bowed down.

Yue Jingyu continued to maintain the posture of gazing in the direction of the academy.

But in his mind, he was already talking to Qinglian.

"How much longer can you hold out?"

"It's not called persistence, it's called waiting. ”

"Can you wait?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to wait. ”

The dialogue is very concise, but the content is not important, the important thing is that Yue Jingyu judged Qinglian's state through these few simple exchanges.

The second senior brother did not deliberately hide his true state, which is his pride.

Yue Jingyu retracted his gaze, returned to the futon and continued to sit cross-legged, the corners of his mouth slightly curled: "Then I'll wait, waiting for you to walk in front of me step by step." ”

College.

The second senior brother blew off the blood on the blade of the sword, collected the sword and turned around in one go.

"It's not there today. The second senior brother said, "Let's rest." ”

All the disciples of the academy standing behind the second senior brother breathed a sigh of relief, the students on the first floor began to cook their lives, and the fourth senior sister stepped forward to remove the armor of the second senior brother, and at the same time wiped the blood stains on the second senior brother's face with a white silk cloth.

"Injured?" Tu Wanyue asked.

The second senior brother shook his head: "Other people's blood." ”

"How do you feel?" Tu Wanyue asked again.

"Yue Jingyu just spoke to me. The second senior brother answered a little unanswered.

Tu Wanyue frowned: "He really can't bear it." ”

"So don't rush, take your time, we have time. After the second senior brother finished speaking, he slowly exhaled.

Although he has always comforted others, in the face of so many cultivators' attacks in a row, the second senior brother's physical strength has still consumed a lot.

It's just that the method he uses is very labor-saving, so he can last for such a long time.

In the process of cooking, the sky has already darkened.

The second senior brother went to rest after dinner.

The rest of the brothers gathered around the campfire, chatting while roasting the fire.

Ji Zixing and Tu Wanyue's aura has also recovered a lot, and they can also help if the enemy attacks again tomorrow.

"Little Senior Brother, how long can your conscienceless cannon last?" asked the third senior brother.

Zhou Fei said: "It's useless. ”

"It's useless?" said the third senior brother in surprise, "It only took one day." ”

Zhou Fei sighed: "The propellant has run out, and it is difficult to extract such a high-purity propellant with the current process." Even if all the masters of the Chang'an City Refining Workshop were found, they would not be able to make such a good propellant. ”

Senior Brother said, "The Third Senior Brother has done his best, and we can't pin all our hopes on those weapons. After all, this battle still depends on ourselves. ”

The fourth senior sister said, "I can still draw a few runes, which should be able to resist for a while." ”

Deng Ruoshui, as a representative of the students on the first floor, also sat next to the bonfire, "Our mountains and rivers can also be used!"

The senior brother said: "In this way, I can also feel a little more at ease. ”

"I don't know what the situation in Chang'an City is. Yue Chen suddenly said: "Being besieged, the people in the city will be under great pressure. ”

"Don't worry, the Tang people are not as fragile as you think. The senior brother said: "Don't say it's a siege, even if you slaughter the city, the Tang people's waist will not bend." The hardest thing now is the southern border. Lu Tiansuo took those tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, and he didn't know if he could resist the onslaught of the Qi State. Once the Qi State broke through the defensive line constructed by Lu Tiansuo and reached Chang'an, the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse. ”

Zhou Fei said: "Hey, it would be nice if there was a radio, so that we could grasp the movements of other battlefields at any time, and we would not have to guess here." ”

"What is a radio?" asked Yue Chen.

"A ...... that can be contacted remotely Hey, I'll explain to you what this is for, and you won't understand it. Zhou Fei said: "Senior brother, I have an idea. ”

"Little junior brother, please speak. The elder brother said.

"These cannons don't work in our hands anymore, so I think I'll be generous and give them some. Zhou Fei said.

Senior Brother said, "Little Senior Brother hasn't given up on the previous plan yet?"

"Of course, I'm looking forward to the scene of the Conscienceless Cannon exploding in the center of the Divine Temple's coalition forces, it will be very exciting. Zhou Fei's smile was a little bad.

"What are you going to do?" said the elder brother.

Zhou Fei said: "After the repeated attacks during the day, most of the temple side will think that the second senior brother is physically exhausted and is unable to defend it at night. And we are all wounded on our side, and even if there is a senior brother in charge, most of the temple will send people to steal. After all, as long as this thing is in our hands, they will not be able to live in peace for a moment. So when they come to guard, everyone has to pretend, especially the senior brother, you must pretend that the injury is very serious, it is best to vomit blood after a few tricks with someone, as for the third senior brother and the fourth senior sister, you two look at it, anyway, you have to let the other party know that your injuries are serious. ”

"As for me and Xiao Yueyue, even if they are the main force of this defense. After a difficult struggle, we were unable to save all the unconscionable guns, and they robbed some of them. This is the only way to convince the people of the temple that this thing is a good thing, oh yes, we have to remind each other that this thing is fired with gunpowder, otherwise those wooden fish skulls will not understand how this thing works even if they are scratched. Xiao Yueyue, when the time comes, it will depend on the acting skills of the two of us. ”

Yue Chen rubbed his hands, and his interest was quite high: "Do you like acting? I like this, I won't tell you, my acting skills are quite good." When I was a child, I was in Zhiyueguan, but I relied on my acting skills to deceive Chu Weirui many times, otherwise I would have been beaten to death by her!"

Zhou Fei patted him on the shoulder: "Don't you drop the chain for me that night." ”

"Don't worry, all right. Yue Chen waved his fist and said with his chin tilted.

......

"Minister, see Your Majesty. ”

Xue Buqi, the owner of the refining workshop, knelt in the center of the main hall, his hands folded on the ground, his forehead was attached to the back of his hand, and his posture was respectful.

The little emperor Li Xuan said: "Xue Aiqing, please hurry up, I have already said that Aiqing doesn't need to make this big gift when she sees me, just stand and talk." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Xue Buqi stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Your Majesty, the workshop has been working around the clock to catch up, and the first batch of firearms can already come in handy." ”

Li Xuan said excitedly: "Really? That's really good." Where are the firearms? I want to see it. ”

Xue Buqi said: "Your Majesty, the power of firearms is too great, and the ministers dare not take the liberty to bring them to the court. If Your Majesty wants to see it, go to the refining workshop with your ministers, we have a special trial area, and it is absolutely safe. ”

Li Xuan said: "Then what are you hesitating about, go, and lead me forward quickly." ”

The eunuch on the side hurriedly ran over, "Your Majesty, slow down." ”

Li Xuan waved his robe, "Don't make a fuss, hurry up and prepare the sedan chair, I want to go to the refining workshop." ”

The eunuch immediately shouted loudly: "Prepare the sedan chair, Your Majesty is going out of the palace!"

Eight sedan chairmen carried the dragon chariot and came to the refining workshop with sparks and lightning all the way.

After several expansions, the area of the refining workshop has more than quadrupled compared to the previous one, and it has become somewhat similar to the arsenal of later generations, divided into several areas, and more than two hundred top alchemists are divided into several teams to tackle different firearms projects.

In addition, there is an area dedicated to testing the power of firearms.

The refiners have strengthened this place, so even if there is a lot of artillery fire here, the outside world is still calm.

"Your Majesty, this weapon is called the Fire Gun. Xue Buqi said: "After filling the gunpowder, you can shoot the gunpowder by pulling the drawstring, the disadvantage is that the range is relatively short, the advantage is that it is very fast, and the close-range lethality is very strong." ”

After Xue Buqi finished speaking, he motioned to a refiner to practice the use of the firecracker, and then Li Xuan also got started and experienced it himself.

"Good stuff. Li Xuan couldn't put it down and stroked the fire gun: "Is there anything else?"

"Of course, Your Majesty comes with me, and the weapons in this are enough to change this battle. Xue Buqi said proudly.

Making these things, he and the refiners of the refining workshop are destined to go down in history.
