Chapter 531: New Ballistae and Assassins Developed
The sky was slightly bright, illuminating everything in the courtyard near the left, and the night passed again.
In the large courtyard of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry, the forbidden troops on duty everywhere began to change shifts, and there were constantly yawning sergeants carrying long qiāng to replace the sergeants on duty with black circles under their eyes.
In the courtyard on the westernmost side, Dani stepped out of the tightly sealed room, adjusted to the morning light, and then stretched.
I didn't expect to pound it all night.
Dani thought to herself, greeted the sergeant on duty, and walked out of the courtyard and out of the Ministry of Works.
On Suzaku Street, there are more rén liú, breakfast vendors have already come out of the stalls, hot white porridge, fragrant fried pans, golden fritters, and the aroma of various meals permeates Suzaku Street.
Dani greedily took a breath of fresh air mixed with the aroma of breakfast, and walked to the edge of a stall selling fried dough sticks and gruel.
"Fifth uncle, two fritters, a bowl of spicy soup."
The middle-aged man guarding the stall smiled innocently, lifted the lid of the vat and deftly took out a bowl of spicy soup, and put it on the empty table on the side.
"Another busy night, Dani?"
As he spoke, the fifth uncle had already thrown the two packed fritters into the oil pot, and the sound of sneering and frying sounded, and the fifth uncle skillfully turned the fritters.
"I said you can't do this, Dani, the official family will give you so much silver, this busy all night and day, when you are tired, you will have problems, and the official family will not give you more money to see your illness."
Dani sat down on the low stool, put the vinegar and spicy seeds into the spicy soup, picked up the chopsticks and stirred twice, picked up the bowl and took a sip, ** The sour and slippery spicy soup flowed down the dry throat into the stomach, and instantly ironed the stomach.
That's nice!
Dani raised her eyes and glanced at the fifth uncle, "Fifth uncle, hurry up, I haven't eaten all night, I'm going to be hungry." ”
"The official family gave me a lot of silver, if it wasn't for the prince's care, our family would have starved to death in the north, but there is no me now."
The fifth uncle scooped up the fritters, shook them in the iron fence a few times, and put them on the plate in front of Dani.
"Be careful of burning your mouth, what you said is that the prince treats people very well, but others can't, I've heard that Dazong is advocating surrendering to the Taixi people, cutting meat and fat the Taixi people from our people, it's really not a thing."
"Yes, yes, I also heard about this, Lord Zhou Yuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was very opposed, and pointed at Da Zongzheng's nose and scolded."
The diners next to him also responded and said that at the beginning of the city, there were not only ministers, but also forbidden troops on duty, and the original situation spread with the mouths of these forbidden soldiers.
"It's not like anything, Li Weiyuan's traitor doesn't dare to go out these days."
"If you want me to say that it is still the prince's atmosphere, I will not hesitate to reject Li Weiyuan's old thief, and Pang De, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also advocates surrender, such a court official, he actually advocates surrender, it is really not a thing."
At the breakfast stall, the diners began to talk.
Dani listened to a few words, and couldn't help but think of the appearance of the prince in front of her, she hadn't seen the prince for a long time, Su Yun commanded the army to conquer Rouran, and she had no reason to go to the palace, let alone see the prince.
"Why, do you think Li Weiyuan is a traitor?"
The diners at the back table suddenly spoke up and asked Dani.
Dani was startled, turned around, saw the faces of the diners, and hurriedly stood up, helpless.
"King, King......"
Su Lu stretched out his hand to stop Dani, and commanded: "Lu Zhan, go and settle the food money, let's talk while walking." ”
Lu Zhan settled the food money, Dani followed behind Su Lu, like a shrunken quail, her cheeks were full of panic and surprise, I hadn't seen the prince for a long time, and the prince had cleared it again.
"Dani, you can't do it day and night, ballistas and birds have to be developed, but your body must also rest and take care of yourself."
Su Lu Shu fell Dani
Dani's cheeks were red, and her voice was pleasant: "Xiaguan knows, Lord Wang, Xiaguan just happened to be at a critical time, and this is not the case day and night, which is not the case on weekdays." ”
Su Lu nodded and asked, "How is the improvement of the ballista?" How much has the range of the projectile ballista increased, and has the power of the crossbow improved again? ”
Su Lu looked at Dani and asked.
During this time, Su Lu had been thinking about weapons that could deal with the strong crossbows of the Tessies.
The bird is naturally a sharp weapon, but the bird is very limited, and the long-distance flight is definitely not possible, and there is also the disadvantage of not being strong in attack, even if it is with its own bird soldier card, the bird cannot destroy the strong crossbow.
It is still necessary to think of ways to improve the ballista, and if the bào zhà type ballista can be made, it will not be a problem to overpower this strong crossbow.
Dani's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Lord Wang, according to what you mentioned before, we have verified it many times, and we really can't touch the threshold of bào zhà, but the projectile ballista has been improved very well, and now it has reached twice the original range." ”
When it comes to the ballista she is improving, Dani talks more, and she becomes more confident.
"The ballista with multiple arrow clusters has been trial-made, but there are still some problems in the degree of fire, it is impossible to accurately lock the target, often deviate from some distances, and it has been tested many times, and a lot of things have been destroyed in the test site in the northern suburbs, but it cannot be very accurate."
Su Lu nodded, "Okay, then you go back today to rest and rest, and Ming'er and I will take a few Taixi people to meet your achievements and let them open their eyes." ”
Su Lu instructed the carriage behind: "Lu Zhan, you send two people to send Dani back to rest." ”
Dani didn't want to go back, but she was able to take the prince's carriage, and there were not many opportunities like this, so she was put into the carriage by two guards and reluctantly went.
Su Lu continued to walk on the street, listening to the hawkers on the side of the road, looking at the endless crowd, the whole person also relaxed, and led the army himself, broke the barbarians, defeated Taixi, and killed the Yingte, in order to let everyone live this peaceful life.
Two guards dressed in coarse cloth and short beats stopped in front of Su Lu, and when they staggered by, one of the guards said in a low voice:
"Lord Wang, at the intersection of Zhuque Street and Che Sedan Hutong in front, there are killers arranged by Li Yunji, the daughter of Li Weiyuan, the great Zongzheng, these killers are from the Cao Gang and have reached out."
Su Lu nodded and continued to walk forward. Li Weiyuan has occupied the position of the great sect for many years, and if it weren't for the influence of the court, he would have cleaned him up a long time ago.
Last time, the clans colluded and wanted to kill Su Lu and Li Qing, but Li Weiyuan was scheming and did not participate, which made Li Qing a little suspicious, and Li Weiyuan had no suspicions at all.
Okay this time, Li Yunji jumped out, and I want to see what kind of master the Cao Gang is, who dares to use a knife on his head, and he doesn't know what is dead or alive.
"Kill the traitor of the wrong country"
A thunderbolt exploded on the second floor at the corner of the street.
More than a dozen men dressed in black jumped down from the second floor and landed next to Su Lu, separating Su Lu from the surrounding crowd, and several unlucky passers-by were chopped to death and fell to the ground, seeing that they could not live.
Lu Zhan drew his sword and stood in front of Su Lu, and the guards drew their swords one after another, holding their knives in both hands, and looked at the group of assassins.
"Kill the thieves in power and return the government to Your Majesty."
The loud cheers rang out, and the venue instantly fell silent.
More than a dozen assassins marched neatly at the same time, and at the same time they besieged Su Lu, and the flickering steel knives formed a knife net, enveloping all sides, slashing at Su Lu, who was protected by a group of guards.
