Li Jie's expression was solemn, and everyone around him also held their breath nervously, and as Li Jie pulled the rope back, he only heard a "snap".

The scene was a little awkward.

Li Jie also felt that his face was hot, but if there was a problem, it would be solved, so he also stepped forward quickly, and several craftsmen also came up, and several people picked up flintlock pistols and discussed it, and finally found the problem, so Li Jie added some gunpowder to the fire pool, and then went back and came again.

"Bah~" This time the musket finally rang out, and the projectile flew out and hit the earthen wall in front, leaving a deep crater.

"It worked!" Li Jie slapped excitedly, and the craftsmen around him also shouted, and even Li Zhu's eyes were red with excitement, and the flintlock pistol was successful, which means that Li Jie will be valued by Zhu Biao, and his future future is limitless.

However, after the excitement, Li Jie quickly calmed down, and immediately asked the two scribes to take the drawings, and then revised the design of the anvil and the powder pool, because the reason why the first shot failed just now was because of the design problem here, and later he added gunpowder to make the second test shot successful.

After revising the original design, Li Jie also immediately asked the craftsmen to rebuild it, and with the experience of the first one, plus only one design change, everything else was basically the same as the original, so the second musket was built in only five days.

The second flintlock pistol was much better, and there was no more dumb fire when shooting, but Li Jie was still a little dissatisfied, because he felt that the flintlock pistol still had a lot to improve, but now twenty days had passed, so he had no time to improve it again, so he could only use this gun to make a difference first.

Early this morning, Li Jie went to Zhan Shifu with a flintlock pistol, which was also the second time he came here, but as soon as he arrived at the gate of the imperial city, the flintlock pistol was stopped, because no weapon could be brought into the imperial city, Li Jie had no choice but to leave two scribes with weapons and went to Zhan Shifu to see Zhu Biao.

In Zuo Chunfang, Zhu Biao was sitting behind the bookcase, personally watching the articles written by his sons, and in front of him, the two twelve or thirteen-year-old children were also sitting there with nervous faces, looking up at Zhu Biao's face from time to time.

Zhu Biao originally married Chang Yuchun's daughter as the crown princess, but unfortunately this Chang concubine had a short life, and died after only seven years as the crown princess, so Zhu Biao established the Lu family as the step-princess, and the two children in front of him were the children of Chang Concubine and Concubine Lu.

Among them, the one on the left is the later Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, his mother is the current crown princess Lu Shi, and the one on the right is named Zhu Yunxi, who died from the dead Concubine Chang, he originally had an elder brother Zhu Xiongying, who was Zhu Biao's eldest son, but unfortunately died before the age of eight.

"Yun Wei's article is well written, the writing is flying, and the dictionary is accurate, it seems that you have learned well during this time!" After reading the articles of his two sons, Zhu Biao praised Zhu Yunwen at the moment.

"Thank you for your father's praise, the child still has a lot of shortcomings, and he still needs to work hard in the future!" Zhu Yunwen also danced happily when he heard his father's praise, but he still deliberately said modestly.

After praising Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Biao also turned his gaze to his other son Zhu Yunxi, although Zhu Yunxi is only one year younger than Zhu Yunxi, but compared to the radiant Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxi seemed a little cringe, especially after hearing his father praise his brother, the whole person lowered his head and shrank into a ball, and he didn't even dare to look at his father.

Looking at the son left by his deceased wife, Zhu Biao looked rather cold and said: "Yun Xi, your article is too plain, and there are several references that are also used in the wrong places, it must be that you were distracted again during class, and you will learn from your brother in the future!" ”

Zhu Biao has a generous personality, even if he is kind to ordinary people, and even cares about his children, but when facing Zhu Yunxi, he seems quite stern, and Zhu Yunxi seems to be very afraid of him, even if he simply criticizes two sentences, it also makes Zhu Yunxi's whole body tremble.

"Father...... The father taught the child to be careful...... Respect the teachings! Zhu Yunxi stammered and admitted his mistake.

Looking at Zhu Yunxi's cowering appearance, Zhu Biao felt a nameless fire, and immediately said with a blank face: "Raise your head, as the emperor's grandson, your words and deeds are upright, how can you still look like an emperor's grandson?" ”

Zhu Biao was angry, Zhu Yunxi was even more frightened, the whole person shrank even more, and tears fell down the tears.

But at this moment, I saw a girl in palace clothes suddenly rushing out from behind the screen, running over quickly with her skirt in her hands, her little face was flushed with anger, and her eyes looked directly at Zhu Biao and said angrily: "Father, shut up, you are not allowed to bully the third brother!" ”

I saw that this girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, tall and fair-skinned, with a goose egg face, a nose and a jade mouth, and extremely delicate facial features, but at this time, she protected Zhu Yunxi behind her, and stared at Zhu Biao with big eyes full of anger, looking like a little hen guarding her cubs.

"Sister!" Zhu Yunxi also pitifully grabbed the corner of this girl's clothes at this time, and tears couldn't stop pouring out, in his heart, his sister was his protector.

The girl looked at her younger brother's appearance and her eyes were red, and she reached out and touched Zhu Yunxi's little head and said, "Yunxi doesn't cry, there is a sister here, see who dares to bully you!" ”

"Yuning, you're so foolish, who asked you to come here?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but be furious when he saw the girl, this girl was the eldest daughter of him and Concubine Chang, that is, Zhu Yunxi's own sister.

"If I don't come, Yun Xi doesn't know how much he has been wronged, father, you know partiality!" The girl said without giving in, her mother died early, leaving only their sister and brother to rely on each other, but Zhu Yunxi is timid and a little cowardly, and she usually protects her younger brother.

"Bold!" Hearing his daughter accuse him of partiality, Zhu Biao also angrily slapped the case, and came to the girl with an arrow step and raised his hand to teach his daughter a lesson. Although he has a good temper, he will not blindly indulge his children, especially in his opinion, his daughter is rude and willful, and he has no respect for him as a father.

"Father, don't beat my sister!" However, at this moment, I saw a girl rushing out from behind the screen, hugging Zhu Biao's thigh and begging, this girl is a few years younger, and she looks similar to Zhu Yunxi's age.

was hugged by his daughter's thigh, Zhu Biao was also stunned for a moment, but the girl Yuning was not convinced at all, and immediately said loudly to the girl holding her father: "Little sister let go, let my father fight, anyway, A-Niang is not here, anyone can bully us!" ”

After Yu Ning finished speaking, she closed her eyes and raised her little face, as if she was letting her father beat her, but her tears slid down her fair face, looking aggrieved and stubborn!
