When Linglong saw Zhu Di asking herself, her face suddenly turned red, and she whispered, "It's a crossbow." ”

Zhu Di pointed to the box on the crossbow: "What is this?" ”

Linglong's voice was a little louder: "The arrow box, which contains twenty crossbow arrows. After a pause, he adjusted his breath, raised his voice and said: "The crossbows used in the army now are generally fired in three consecutive shots, why, because the structure is simple, easy to make, and easy for soldiers to operate." I've read old books, and there used to be a kind of crossbow with ten rounds, and I wanted to make it, but when I was doing it, I suddenly thought, if I can make a crossbow with ten rounds, why can't I make more crossbows in a row. But after research, I found that the biggest problem with the continuous crossbow arrow is the complex structure, the more continuous fire, the more complex the structure, the more difficult it is to do, so I thought, can we not only increase the number of continuous fire, but also not make the structure too complicated, because the more complex it is, the more difficult it is to build, the more difficult it is for the people to get started, and the more difficult it is to repair if it is broken, so I am studying, I think of the way is to put the crossbow arrow in this box, and the crossbow arrow below is launched, and the crossbow arrow in the upper box will automatically be replenished to the empty position. In this way, you can shoot ten or even twenty shots in a row. ”

Zhu Di smiled with great satisfaction, Linglong's mind is exquisite, and he can always study things that others can't study, which is also what Zhu Di values Linglong the most, he thinks Linglong's idea is very interesting, so he smiled and said: "Then have you done your research?" ”

Linglong's face turned red again, and she said shyly: "Not yet, this box is no problem storing arrows, but I still need to think about how to make the arrows automatically hang up to the mechanism." ”

Zhu Di believed in Linglong's talent, so he no longer asked about the crossbow arrows, but asked, "Didn't you say last time that you were building a new firebolt?" Is it ready? ”

Linglong's face turned even redder: "It didn't work, I tried it again this morning, and it blew up, I think it might be a problem with my thinking, so I want to put it aside for a while and think about it in a different direction." ”

Zhu Di was about to continue to say something to Linglong, but found that Yao Guangqi was only a few steps away from him and Linglong, although Zhu Di was stunned, he could understand Yao Guangqi's anxious mood, so he didn't say anything. But Linglong on the side was very angry about Yao Guangqi's sudden arrival, and said with a very unfriendly attitude: "What are you doing here, stay away from my crossbow." ”

As soon as Zhu Di entered the courtyard, Yao Guangqi, who was lying on the window, noticed it, but because Zhu Di walked straight to Linglong, Yao Guangqi stood at his door for a long time, hesitating whether he should come up and take the initiative to talk to Zhu Di, he just wanted to ask one question, how is his adoptive father now.

But seeing that Zhu Di and Linglong chatted, there was no intention of coming to his side, Yao Guangqi was a little breathless, and took the initiative to come to Zhu Di's side, he didn't expect Linglong's reaction to be so intense, Yao Guangqi was helpless, and took a step back, but he didn't look at Linglong, just looked at Zhu Di with expectant eyes: "I ......"

Zhu Di naturally knew what Yao Guangqi was going to say, although he wanted to say it, but he knew that he must not say it in front of Linglong, so he waved his hand, walked quickly to the door of Yao Guangqi's house, and motioned for Yao Guangqi to come in with him.

Zhu Di's footsteps alarmed Xi Yan, she opened her eyes and found that her master, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was actually standing at the door, which scared Xi Yan enough, she didn't have time to stand up, she knelt directly on the ground, and kept whispering in her mouth: "The slave and maid should die, the slave and the maid don't know that the prince is coming, and the slave and maid are negligent." ”

Zhu Di didn't have the heart to look at this girl, he waved his hand impatiently, "Go out." ”

Xi Yan was like being amnestied, and hurriedly swallowed his head, stood up quickly, tiptoed out, turned around and carefully closed the door.

Zhu Di turned around and looked at Yao Guangqi, this young man's face was full of expectations and hopes, hoping that he could bring good details, but he was going to disappoint him, and if he told the truth, would he immediately turn his face and run away? But what should be said is still to be said, Zhu Di's speech speed is very slow, and his voice is also very low: "My people are late, Yao Liuqi has been convicted, and his confession has been prepared." ”

The muscles on Yao Guangqi's face twitched sharply, from the kind of ominous foreboding he had when he first saw Zhu Di, Zhu Di's words were equivalent to a change of direction to sentence his adoptive father to death, his face was flushed, and he didn't say a word.

Zhu Di observed Yao Guangqi's performance, he knew that no matter how much he comforted him at this time, it was useless, because he knew that such bad news was unacceptable to a fifteen-year-old boy, but he still tried to appease Yao Guangqi, because Zhu Di really appreciated Yao Guangqi, and he wanted to leave Yao Guangqi behind, "I couldn't save Yao Qianhu, I broke my promise, as my compensation, you can put forward any conditions now, what you want to do, what you want, beauty, money, or being an official, you can do it, I'll help you make it happen. ”

Yao Guangqi's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "I want to meet the emperor, I want to overturn the case." ”

This stumped Zhu Di, and the rest is easy to say, whether it is money, women, or official positions, he can find a way, but this request, for Zhu Di, is not only unexpected by him, but also beyond his ability, more precisely, Zhu Di can't on the one hand, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to overturn the case.

You must know that Yao Liuqi's case involved Hu Weiyong's rebellion, and this case, no matter who it is, no matter how much credit it has back then, as long as it is involved, there is only one result: downfall. As a son, Zhu Di can somewhat guess some of his father's thoughts, these old ministers have great merit and high status, but they are also difficult to control, one by one is either proud of their merits or a vegetarian meal, and if they are their fathers, they will also take out a group of people, but Zhu Di feels that such a purge is still a bit too much.

Zhu Di was embarrassed, he had already boasted about Haikou and asked Yao Guangqi to make a request casually, but he didn't expect the other party to put forward a request that he couldn't achieve, Zhu Di's face instantly turned red, but he had an idea, and thought of a set of excellent rhetoric that kills two birds with one stone: "I am actually very helpless in this matter, Hu Weiyong rebelled, just arrest him and his comrades, such a large-scale Zhulian, and climb into the loyal ministers who have nothing to do, I dare not speak out." In fact, there are some things that the father is not completely aware of, and some people are taking advantage of the anger of the father to make waves. ”

Yao Guangqi's eyes were still red, and his head was full of anger: "Some people are making waves? Are you saying that such a large-scale purge of the courtiers was deliberately carried out? ”
