Chapter 543: Mu Zixu
Zhu Xiaobao looked at the battle formation in the Perak Hall, it was really quite large, there were more than 1,000 people, and they were uniformly dressed and full of confidence.
I have heard of the small treasures of Perak Hall, and now Sand Lake City is actually the territory of Perak Hall, and it was originally jointly managed by several sects, but with the rapid development and growth of Perak Hall, other sects either migrated or recognized the status of the boss of Perak Hall, and only operated in Sand Lake City, paying taxes according to the regulations, and no longer enjoyed the right to manage.
Especially in recent years, the Perak Hall has developed rapidly, and it has been changed to the Perak Gate, which is divided into four branches, and the number of disciples has exceeded 10,000! Now Lei Zhenzi, the head of the Thunderbolt Gate, is also the number one person, and his cultivation is also very high, and he has reached the level of Martial Venerable!
Now standing in front of Zhu Xiaobao is an old man, he is the uncle of the head Lei Zhenzi, named Mu Zixu, and the most important backbone of Perak Hall, because the endless new products that have emerged over the years are almost all from his handwriting, belonging to the kind of research maniac, that is, workaholic, the research of various firearms has reached the level of obsession!
Now Mu Zixu just wants to discuss with Zhu Xiaobao, but he first put out the most proud boutique of Perak Hall here, and wants to compete with Zhu Xiaobao!
"Dare to ask, but is the King Chitose Lord Xiaobao? Mu Zixu, the elder of the Lower Perak Hall, wants to have a discussion with Lord Zhu Xiaobao, I don't know if I can appreciate my face? When Mu Zixu saw the little treasures led by him, he immediately arched his hand and said.
Since Zhu Xiaobao set off, Mu Zixu got the news, and he was immediately excited, and he had long wanted to have a discussion with Zhu Xiaobao. It turned out that he had never figured out how it was possible for Zhu Xiaobao to invent so many novel gadgets at his age, all of which were unheard of.
Especially the last time in Jialanga's camp, after Mu Zixu was blown up by those mines, he came back and thought about it in the morning and did countless experiments, but he never achieved the effect of Zhu Xiaobao.
In fact, the rapid development of Perak Gate in recent years is also due to the invention and creation of Zhu Xiaobao, Perak Gate is also according to the cat and the tiger, and has successively launched a copycat version of the missile, fire bomb and bullet crossbow, although the lethality is far less than the genuine version, but it is also extremely popular, so that Perak Gate has made a lot of money in recent years.
"Bold, why don't you kneel when you see King Chitose?" Yu Qing immediately stood up and scolded loudly. Because Mu Zixu's etiquette was too simple, he just arched his hand, and he looked arrogant, so Yu Qing immediately scolded him dissatisfied.
"Hehe, the British King is only sealed by the Northern Zirui Kingdom, this is our Thunderbolt Gate's territory, and Elder Ben already respects the British King Chitose very much!" Mu Zi smiled faintly, he had been in a high position in the Perak Hall all these years, and he hadn't been so polite for a long time. In Sand Lake City, except for Venerable Duobao and the head Lei Zhenzi, Mu Zixu can almost cover the sky with one hand! What's more, even if he is the head of the house, he must be called 'uncle'!
"Yu Qing, come back!" Zhu Xiaobao frowned, first called Yu Qing back, and then arched his hand, and said lightly: "It turned out to be Elder Mu, long up!" Long admiration! But the so-called exchange is not necessary, I have seen all those things of yours, the lethality is limited, the combustion is acceptable, and it is still somewhat powerful for fire attack! ”
Although Muzi has put out a lot of high-quality products in a mess, they are basically all the same, that is, things that are ignited quickly, but the power is different, the way and time of ignition are different, and there is nothing new in the others. Not to mention Zhu Xiaobao, even those female warriors showed very disdainful eyes. This made Mu Zixu feel a little crazy.
"Humph! Zhu Xiaobao, those naval cannons and red-clothed cannons of yours are indeed a huge power, but I'm afraid the cost is not low, otherwise this time it would not have been attacked by King Jialanjia under the city and launched the battle of the three ** cities, right? Mu Zixu hummed very unconvinced, this time Jialanga went to attack Lingyue Mountain, although he did not go to watch the battle, but he was really very concerned about the development of the war, so he knew quite well about the battle situation.
"Well, it's almost, the cost is not low, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with your faction, right? Besides, this time I have won the battle with Jialanga, and many things do not need to be fought and killed, and I have cut off their food. It's already won! Zhu Xiaobao said disapprehantly, and didn't bother to argue, his things would not be sold at all, so the cost and reputation would not affect anything at all, and he knew that Mu Zixu was so persistent in competing with each other, and the main thing was to know the formula of gunpowder, and the fuel they used was missing the most critical material, which would be Mu Zixu's biggest purpose.
"No, no, there is progress through communication. Zhu Xiaobao, you and I have our own advantages, and it is good for everyone to communicate and command each other, don't you say? Someone, show the British King Chitose, let the British King Chitose see the power of our Thunderbolt Gate missile, this is my latest development, with the missile crossbow, the range can reach 200 steps, and the accuracy has been greatly improved! Mu Zixu said proudly, and regardless of whether Zhu Xiaobao was willing or not, he had already begun to let his disciples start operating.
These are all carefully prepared by Mu Zixu, and it is really powerful that cannot be underestimated, the pre-set target at the distance of one hundred and fifty steps in front of him was immediately shot, holding up a ball of fire, and then it began to burn rapidly, this pre-set target quickly ignited a raging fire, and the performance effect was very ideal! Those Perak disciples also cheered loudly! Mu Zixu's face was even more triumphant, this was his latest research achievement!
"Well, that's good! Elder Mu, I've seen these things of yours, they're very good! Shall we go into town? Zhu Xiaobao nodded calmly, and then there was no follow-up, and he wanted to go into the city to rest!
This made Mu Zixu want to scold his mother a little, Lao Tzu had worked hard to prepare for several days, so this dead man's expression, his mouth was good, and it sounded more like he was perfunctory. What's even more annoying is that Zhu Xiaobao doesn't even want to see other things, so he thinks about going into the city!
"Oops! Zhu Xiaobao, since it's a exchange, you have to take out something for us to see, could it be that those things of yours were also bought with money, right? Mu Zixu suddenly shouted with some annoyance.
"Alas! As I said, our stuff isn't comparable! If you want to see it, let you see it! Jumei, shoot an arrow, let them see, pay attention to the strength! Zhu Xiaobao said a little helplessly, and then let Jumei come out.
"Oh! I know! Jumei took off her golden bow and took out an arrow, a specially made arrow, thicker than the one she had used. But when paired with this goldstone bow, it's not so obvious. The disciples of the Perak Gate who saw it were all amazed. I've never seen such an exaggerated big bow, and such a strong and tall female man!
"Hmmm! Just two hundred and fifty steps to that tree! Zhu Xiaobao said casually.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as the words fell, Jumei's arrows had already been shot out, and there was a strong wind, so that even those with sensitive ears could hear the sound of the arrows rubbing violently against the air.
"Poof!"
Jumei's arrow was shooting at a tree two hundred and fifty paces away, and the cluster of arrows passed through the tree, but the shaft of the arrow remained in the trunk. Suddenly, the tree, which was not very thin, exploded from the center of the trunk, and then the top half fell to the ground with a bang, and the bottom half began to burn......
It turned out that the arrow cluster of this arrow was coated with a material similar to a match head, and the arrow shaft was filled with gunpowder, and in the process of flying the arrow, the friction between the arrow cluster and the air had ignited the coating, and at the same time, it also ignited the lead to the arrow shaft, and the gunpowder in the arrow shaft was also detonated at the moment when it was shot into the trunk, and the gunpowder in this arrow shaft was not small, and it was easy to blow up this not very thick tree! Jumei didn't draw her bow this time, so the arrow stopped in the trunk.
"Huh? …… This...... What is it? Why is it so powerful? Mu Zixu was dumbfounded and muttered to himself. And those disciples of the Thunderbolt Gate were all dumbfounded, they were stunned!
On the contrary, those female warriors were cheering and cheering for Jumei, who had absolute prestige among these female warriors! Many people worship Jumei very much!
"As I said, our things are not the same thing, and there is no comparison at all! It's better to get into town as soon as possible! Zhu Xiaobao seemed to be very reluctant to waste time here with Mu Zixu, and said a little impatiently.
"Wait...... Wait a minute! I still have it, look, this is palm thunder, this is smoke, it can be used to block the enemy, and then escape, this is explosive, it can be used to hurt the enemy! Mu Zixu shouted a little impatiently, and his disciples also started to demonstrate on the spot immediately, and regardless of whether Zhu Xiaobao wanted to or not, he had already thrown out several of them.
These things are only used for walking the rivers and lakes, and the lethality is limited, and what is even more ridiculous is that two palm thunderbolts fell to the ground for a while before they began to burst open, and when the smoke was emitted, it had been a long time! This is because the lead of the Perak Gate is made of cotton thread wrapped in burning powder, although the combustion is stable, but the time cannot be accurately controlled, and this error often occurs!
"Alas! I've said it all, you're burning medicine, it's burning too badly, this thing is useless, if you use this thing to burn the granary, I'm afraid as many people will die as many people as you go! Well, apprentice, you show them my humble gadgets! "Zhu Xiaobao is really not interested, but now he has to send Mu Zixu away as soon as possible, so that he can enter the city as soon as possible.
"Okay! Brother, look at it! "The old apprentice is very interested, every time he can come out at this time, he is the one who can show his face at this time, and the old apprentice is now enjoying this highlight moment!
But the old apprentice didn't do it immediately, but took the smoke pot and lit a pot of cigarettes for himself first, but this inconspicuous little action had already made Mu Zixu a little dumbfounded. The old apprentice didn't know what he was holding in his hand, so he casually scratched his body, and it was on fire, and then he clicked on it, took a beautiful breath, and then paced out leisurely.
Holding a cigarette stick in one hand, and flicking the other hand, a match was shot on the clothes of a disciple of the Perak Gate, the old apprentice's technique was very ingenious, so that the match first brushed his shoulders on his clothes, and then caught up at the collar, and suddenly even the hair on the back of his neck also burned together, and the disciple was suddenly shocked and jumped again and again, and finally extinguished the fire!
"See, the highest level of ignition is to start catching fire as soon as it reaches the other party's body, so you don't need to calculate the ignition time, and you don't need your kind of lead!!" Zhu Xiaobao said disdainfully, and with a stroke of his hand, a match was also in his hand. With another stroke, another match burned, and the wood who looked at it was dumbfounded, this thing is also amazing? What the hell is it?
“…… Ahem...... King Chitose, Lord Zhu Xiaobao, this ...... It's amazing indeed, but I wonder if you can sell me this recipe? You can rest assured, the price is yours! One hundred thousand taels of gold, what do you think? Mu Zi came to his senses, and then asked with a smile on his face.
"Huh! Elder Mu, will you sell the recipe for your Thunderbolt Missile? As far as I know, only the boss and you know these recipes, right? Do you think I'll sell? Zhu Xiaobao smiled faintly.
"Uh...... Otherwise, you can reveal the recipe for the burning charge that exploded in the trunk of the tree, or two! I'll pay you 100,000 taels of gold anyway!" "Mu Zixu is itching now, if he masters these formulas, then the Thunderbolt Gate will definitely rise to a higher level again, and he will definitely be able to become the number one sect in the world. Thinking further afield, it is possible to create a small country!
"Sorry, not interested! I'm not short of money! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said.
"One million taels! A million taels of gold, what do you think? "Mu Zixu was a little crazy at this time, and he raised the price tenfold at once, and he heard that all the little treasures were trembling, one million taels of gold, This Thunderbolt Gate is really rich!
"I'm sorry, I said it, don't sell it!" Zhu Xiaobao resisted the temptation, and said very calmly, these things, in the hands of Perak Hall, are sharp weapons for killing, and when the time comes, they will be mass-produced, and the consequences will be very terrifying, maybe one day they will be bombarded by their own inventions!
"Hey, hey! Since King Chitose disdains to do this business with Elder Ben, then I'm sorry, and you won't be able to enter Sand Lake City!" According to the regulations, you are not allowed to carry weapons when entering Sand Lake City, or you must hand them in, and the demons will dispose of them outside the city by themselves. And Sand Lake City is not allowed to lead troops to settle in. You've probably heard of these rules, right? Mu Zixu suddenly became smiling at this time, and those disciples under him were also on guard and began to be hostile.
"Mu Zixu, you don't talk nonsense there, this time Jialanga can lead troops from you to pass by, and you didn't stop it! It doesn't seem that the 1.5 million horses of Jialanga have bypassed Sand Lake City, right? At this time, Qiu Baiyan shouted a little angrily.
"It turned out to be Lord Qiu! Is the national teacher good? I really miss the national teacher! Mu Zixu was still a little jealous when he saw Qiu Baiyan, and arched his hand and asked with a smile.
Not only because Qiu Baisheng is the national teacher of the Western Turkic Kingdom, but also because Shahu City can have today, it was Qiu Baisheng who ran it single-handedly, and it developed this place into a trade center.
At the beginning, Qiu Baisheng was the city lord of Sand Lake City, but ten years ago, because of the disputes between the various sects in Sand Lake City, Qiu Baisheng went to the royal court to become a national teacher! Therefore, Mu Zixu is still very jealous of Qiu Baisheng! What's more, it was rumored at the beginning that the reason why Qiu Baisheng left was because he worshipped the Thousand Poisons Venerable as his teacher, so he left Shahu City! At the beginning, even Venerable Duobao couldn't keep Qiu Baisheng!
"Nonsense! Of course, the national teacher is very good now, and the British king Chitose was invited by the national teacher, do you dare to stop it? Qiu Baiyan exclaimed in annoyance.
"Hehe, it's not that you won't let you go, but there are indeed such rules, and these rules are still set by Senior Brother!" Mu Zixu was also cunning and threw the words back.
"Humph! Then why can Jialanga lead his troops through? Qiu Baiyan asked angrily.
"Well! Of course, there is a reason, Jialanga gave us a county in Perakmen, and if King Chitose pays the same price, I can also let it go immediately! Of course, if you Qiu Baiyan wants to go over, it will definitely be no problem, I will let you go immediately, and I will send someone to wait! Mu Zi said with a false smile, he was very sure that Zhu Xiaobao would not be able to take the territory of such a county at all, besides, Zhu Xiaobao agreed, and he also had other ways to make it difficult for him.
"You ......" Qiu Baiyan was a little speechless, and it was impossible to let Zhu Xiaobao take out a county, but now it seems that Mu Zixu is bent on making things difficult for Zhu Xiaobao.
"It seems that Elder Mu is determined not to let me enter the city?" Zhu Xiaobao frowned and asked.
"Hey, hey! There are really rules, and it's your first time in Sand Lake City, so we don't dare to be careless! Not to mention your divine weapons and powerful firearms, even these hundreds of female warriors can make our Sand Lake City bleed! I have to guard against it! Mu Zi said with a smile, and then leaned closer and whispered: "Chitose-sama, if you can ...... that formula"
"Forget it, we'll camp outside the city today, I'm a little tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow!" Zhu Xiaobao interrupted Mu Zixu's words without thinking about it, and actually didn't enter the city.
This made Mu Zixu feel a little crazy all of a sudden, this guy didn't follow the general routine at all, and he started to set up camp immediately if he didn't leave! This made Mu Zixu a little embarrassed, and he had to send someone to keep an eye on it, he didn't know what Zhu Xiaobao wanted to do when he stayed outside the city......
Mu Zixu returned to Perak Gate in a depressed mood, and just lit a bag of cigarettes, daring to love him also liked this kind of flue-cured tobacco that had just become popular. But Lei Zhenzi, the head of the Thunderbolt Gate, hurriedly came: "Uncle Shi, did you stop Zhu Xiaobao outside the city?" You're in trouble! ”
"Alas, virtuous nephew, you don't know, his formula for burning potion is simply powerful, and the kind of ignition that catches fire when wiped is also extremely useful to us!" Mu Zixu still can't forget these things that make him desperately desired!
"But we can't be an enemy of it!" Lei Zhenzi said very annoyed.
"Don't worry, if they want to go to the royal court, there is only one way to go through Sand Lake City! I don't believe he can get around? Mu Zixu said very firmly.
"Uncle Shi! You ......" Lei Zhenzi suddenly called out hesitantly, with some unbearable eyes in his eyes, looking behind Mu Zixu.
"What's wrong? Virtuous nephew? Mu Zi suddenly felt bad, and immediately looked back to see what was going on.
"Smack!"
A slap has already slapped Mu Zixu's face......
