After the fire bolt exploded, You Shisan's face turned pale and waited for Shangguan's thunder to fall. But after waiting for a long time, there was no sound. When he looked back, he found that Shangguan Jinglei had gone away.

At this time, Shangguan Jinglei was in a very bad mood, firstly, for the uncompetitive spirit of the imperial court craftsmen, and secondly, for the next war. If they can't think of a way to deal with the Vermilion Bird Thief's firearms, then the Fierce Tiger Legion will definitely suffer great losses, which Shangguan Jinglei cannot accept.

Because the Fierce Tiger Legion is not only the elite army of the imperial court, but also the foundation of his Shangguan family's foothold in the court.

Seeing that Shangguan was shocked and dissatisfied, Sima Yan hurriedly caught up and explained: "My lord, it is the subordinates who are not well prepared, and the subordinates will let them rebuild it, and strive to build a qualified firearm before the war!" ”

"No need."

Shangguan shook his head and vetoed Sima Yan's suggestion, "Do you think that in a short period of time, they will be able to create a firearm comparable to that of the Vermilion Bird Army!" ”

"This ......"

Sima Yan was speechless for a while, because he knew that it was almost impossible.

"Then what are your plans, this thief's firearms are so sharp, if there is no way to deal with it, once the battle is engaged, the casualties of our army will definitely be not small!" Sima Yan looked worried.

Shangguan thought for a moment and said, "Since it is a firearm, it must be afraid of water, so how about we launch an attack on a rainy day!" ”

"I'm afraid this won't work, the Vermilion Bird Thief firearms use brass integrated ammunition, so the general rain is not afraid at all." Sima Yan shook his head.

Then he saw Shangguan sigh in shock, he really couldn't understand how these firearms were made by the Vermilion Bird Bandit Army. Then the two discussed again, but to no avail.

At the same time, the commander of the Huwei Army, Changfeng Pojun, was also full of thoughts, on the one hand, he was shocked by the power of the Suzaku Armament. On the other hand, there is also a great interest in this kind of weapon, which can kill martial arts masters even if ordinary people hold it.

Especially after seeing the Vermilion Bird Army just now and comparing it with the new firearm of the Fierce Tiger Legion, he was even more interested. Because the Changfeng Broken Army is not only the commander of the Huwei Army, but also the actual nobleman who owns the fief Qing'anhou!

So unlike the others, the Changfeng Breaking Army couldn't help but think of it while worrying about the threat posed by the Vermilion Bird Army to the Fierce Tiger Legion. If his Changfeng Army could be equipped with this kind of firearm, wouldn't its strength be even stronger.

Originally, this was just an idea, but with the news sent by the snake letter, Changfeng Breaking Army couldn't help but be even more moved. Because according to Serenshin's intelligence, it seems that the Suzaku Army intends to sell their firearms.

Although Changfeng Pojun didn't understand, why did the Vermilion Bird Army do this. However, Snake Letter is an important secret dead soldier of the Changfeng family, and he will not send him some inconclusive information.

At this time, although Li Yun knew that his old rival, the Tiger Wei Army, had also participated in the four-way encirclement and suppression of the Fierce Tiger Legion. However, it is not clear that the commander of the Huwei Army also has the idea of buying Suzaku weapons.

In fact, not only Shangguan Jinglei and Changfeng broke the army, but also was interested in the firearms of the Vermilion Bird Army, and there was another person who was more interested in the firearms of the Suzaku Army, he was the emperor of the Qianyuan Empire, Emperor Qiande Ji Fengming.

Ever since the Vermilion Bird Army broke the Tiger Army, Ji Fengming was very nervous about this kind of weapon that ordinary people could use and shoot high-level martial arts monks.

Because the eight pillars of the Qianyuan Empire to maintain its rule are the army composed of martial arts masters. And this kind of firearm seriously threatens the security of the Imperial Legion, if this kind of firearm is popularized, the invincible position of the Eight Legions will be seriously shaken.

Imagine if the forces of the world had this kind of firearm, they would be able to threaten the invincible legions of the empire. In this way, can the rule of the Qianyuan Empire still sit firmly!

At this time, Ji Fengming's mind was the same as that of the Manchu Tartar who entered the customs.

Although they fear the power of firearms in their hearts, in order to maintain their invincible legions and rule, they try to belittle firearms on the surface.

In order to fool the Han people and maintain the superiority of their cavalry and archery corps, the Manchu Qing Dynasty deliberately belittled the development of prohibited firearms.

The same is true for Ji Fengming, at present, in the empire, the eight legions occupy an absolute military advantage, which is beyond the reach of other forces.

The development of firearms, of course, can enhance the military strength of the Eight Legions, but it also gives other forces a chance to catch up, which Ji Fengming absolutely cannot tolerate.

Therefore, with a contradictory feeling, Ji Fengming blocked the news of the ban on Suzaku weapons, and on the other hand, stepped up the collection of information on Suzaku weapons, striving to grasp the mystery of firearms as soon as possible.

"Boom......!"

In the school yard of the Yellow Dragon Legion in Hao Emperor City, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded.

With this explosion, a puff of smoke and flames rose into the sky, instantly engulfing dozens of ironclad warriors and alien beast mounts around it. When the smoke cleared, only a large pit was left in the ground, with countless fragments of corpses.

Ji Fengming next to him watched this scene, although he was unusually calm on the surface, the shock in his heart was indescribable.

"This ...... This...... This...... What is it? How could it be so powerful! But Sheng Dalun, the chief eunuch of the War Bureau next to him, was shocked and almost speechless.

In order to test the power of the Vermilion Bird Firearms, Ji Fengming not only selected dozens of high-level death row prisoners in the heavenly prison as targets. And put on fine iron armor for it, and accompanied it with more than a dozen strange beast mounts.

Unexpectedly, under the firearms of the Suzaku Army, there was no one alive, and all of them were shattered in just a moment.

Then I saw Ji Fengming take a deep breath, and then slowly asked, "Is this the firearm of the Vermilion Bird Thief Army?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The commander of the Dragon Fu Secret Guard nodded his head, and then he continued: "Your Majesty, this item is called the Explosives Bag, and it is a powerful firearm equipped by the Vermilion Bird Thief Army. ”

Sheng Dalun on the side hurriedly asked, "Explosives bag?" Could it be that this filling is gunpowder! ”

"Yes, Shanda!"

Seeing that the blood Qianren nodded in affirmation, Sheng Dalun looked incredulous, although the explosion of a large amount of gunpowder was amazing, but it was not so powerful. And he also saw it when he planted the explosives package just now, and the explosive package was not large.

"How is this possible, how can ordinary gunpowder be so powerful?"

Blood Qianren smiled bitterly and said, "Ordinary gunpowder naturally doesn't have this kind of power, so the gunpowder of the Vermilion Bird Army is not ordinary. And in order to obtain these samples, the loss of my dragon talisman secret guard is really not small! ”

Speaking of this, Xueqian couldn't help but feel a heartache, because the Suzaku Security Bureau is not a vegetarian. In order to investigate the secret of the Suzaku armament, during this time, the Dragon Fu Secret Guard fought with the Suzaku Security Bureau, but lost a lot of manpower.

"Not ordinary? What is the mystery of this Suzaku Army's gunpowder? Emperor Qiande Ji Fengming was also puzzled.

But the blood Qianren immediately confessed: "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, and this Vermilion Bird Thief Army keeps the secret of firearms very strictly. The secret agents under my Dragon Fu Secret Guard investigated in many ways, but not only found nothing, but also lost a lot of manpower. ”

"Rubbish! I can't do this thing, what do I want you to do! Ji Fengming couldn't help but be furious when he heard it.

"Your Majesty forgive your sins! Damn it! "The blood thousand people immediately fell to the ground and pleaded guilty.

Ignoring the blood Qianren, Ji Fengming then asked Sheng Dalun, "Can Sheng Qing make this kind of gunpowder?" ”

I saw Sheng Dalun's face embarrassed, "Your Majesty, as long as you know the specific formula of gunpowder, the minister can naturally prepare it." But if you don't know, it's going to take a little longer. ”

So Ji Fengming instructed Xue Qianren: "You immediately give all the samples to Sheng Qing, Sheng Qing can draw whatever you need, as long as you can make this kind of gunpowder, I will not allow it." ”

"No! The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations! Sheng Dalun immediately agreed.

To become the chief eunuch of the Royal War Bureau, Sheng Dalun is naturally very capable, but it didn't take long for Sheng Dalun to regret it. Because the explosives of the Suzaku Army involve extremely complex chemical knowledge, they cannot be prepared simply like black gunpowder.

However, although the craftsmen of the War Bureau are highly skilled and experienced, these complex chemical knowledge cannot be compensated for by experience alone.

And at this time, those who are worried about Li Yun are not only Shangguan Jinglei, Changfeng Pojun and Ji Fengming, but also a very beautiful woman, she is Xiao Qiang.

As a tool for the Red Lotus Sect to control Li Yun, Xiao Qiang couldn't see Li Yun at all these days, let alone complete the task. However, the rules in the mansion are strict, and Li Yun's whereabouts are closely guarded, so Xiao Qiang should not inquire at will.

In this way, Xiao Qiang stayed in the courtyard outside the mansion for several days.

At the same time, she also discovered that most of the women in this mansion were from the Red Lotus Sect, which they used to buy other Suzaku Army generals. Unexpectedly, Li Yun gathered all of them here, which made Xiao Qiang a little apprehensive, because it showed that Li Yun had never believed in them.

"It's all here, it's coming!"

But when Xiao Qiang fell into deep thought, suddenly a sound like a duck's throat broke the peace of the small courtyard.

Immediately, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face walked in, he looked at the woman in the courtyard and said, "From today onwards, you will be under my control, all come with me." ”

Xiao Qiang looked at the middle-aged man for a while, then asked in a low voice: "This adult, we are the female slaves of Lord Li Yun, I don't know your identity?" ”

I saw the middle-aged man smile coldly and said, "Hmph! You are not the slave girls of Lord Li Yun, and you are far from qualified to serve your lords! As for me, I am the deacon of the Third Division of the Teaching Workshop Division, and this time I am on the order of Concubine Ling Yue, I will take you to the Teaching Workshop Division for training, and you can only serve Master Li Yun after you pass the training! ”

As soon as she heard Concubine Ling Yue's name, Xiao Qiang knew that this sect was by no means good, so she endured the dissatisfaction in her heart and asked, "Then my lord, I don't know how long we have to train?" ”

"Humph! Ask so much what for! Just be obedient, I don't care what you used to be, but you have to listen to me in the Teaching Division, otherwise you will be comfortable! The middle-aged man's face was grim when he heard this.
