"What do you say? With only 100 people, more than 1,000 Mengyuan cavalry were beheaded to build Jingguan, and 30,000 Mengyuan troops were defeated? That's impossible! ”

Zhong Gang said categorically, the number of battles and combat experience with the Meng Yuan Army, not to mention the entire Liangzhou, even the entire Great Xia, no one dared to say that he was more than the Western Liang Gong Zhonggang.

But even he didn't dare to pat his chest and say that he beheaded more than 1,000 Mengyuan troops with 100 people, let alone defeated 30,000 Mengyuan troops. To achieve this result, even the most elite Zhong Jiajun will need at least more than 20,000 to achieve a narrow victory.

Zhong Qinghan said triumphantly: "Not only that, Ziheng still has zero casualties, and none of the hundreds of nurses under his command were injured." ”

"Haha," Zhong Gang laughed loudly, his eyes full of disbelief, "Qinghan, you are also a person who is good at leading troops to fight, do you believe it yourself?" ”

Zhong Qinghan sucked her delicate nose, "If it were someone else, my daughter wouldn't believe it, but Ziheng's words, my daughter would believe him 100%." ”

"You ......" Zhong Gang was angry, pointing at her and hating iron and steel: "How can you be so stubborn?" ”

Zhong Qinghan pouted and said, "Father, why don't you believe what your daughter has seen with her own eyes?" I think you're stubborn. ”

"What, what did you see with your own eyes? Is this true? Zhong Gang's eyes swirled suspiciously around her and Su Ziheng, still not believing in this incredible thing.

"Then tell me, what method did that kid use to behead more than 1,000 Mengyuan cavalry and defeat 30,000 Mengyuan troops with only a hundred guards? If you say, I will believe; If you can't say it, then you are deceiving your father, and when the time comes, don't blame your father for being cruel to him. ”

"Ceramic grenade!" Zhong Qinghan raised his head and said triumphantly, like a child showing off his toys to adults.

Without waiting for Zhong Gang to ask, she continued: "This is an incomparably powerful firearm produced with gunpowder, which roars like thunder when it explodes, can kill people instantly, and can also frighten the war horse and no longer be controlled by the cavalry. Crucially, it can attack from a distance and kill enemies before they get close. ”

Zhong Gang's expression was solemn, and he asked solemnly, "Is there really such a sharp weapon?" "If it is really like what Qing Han said, you can kill the enemy from a distance, and let the war horse not be controlled, you can indeed behead more than a thousand people with a hundred people.

But why had he never heard of such a firearm before? He naturally knew about gunpowder, but the weight of that thing was small, so he could only use it for fireworks; If the amount is too large, it can indeed produce a violent explosion, but it is not easy to control, and it will often injure one's own people by mistake.

It's not as good as a crossbow arrow, and Zhong Gang discarded it after using it once or twice.

Zhong Qinghan nodded and said, "Naturally, it's true, Ziheng taught the craftsmen of the firearms workshop of the Manufacturing Bureau the secret recipe for making grenades, and also helped them improve the formula of gunpowder, which more than doubled the power of gunpowder." ”

"Qiang", Zhong Gang took the sword back into the scabbard, whether it was true or not, you will know when you try it.

"For my father and aunt, I believe you for the time being, but even so, I still can't promise to marry you to him." Zhong Gang still had a dark face and said coldly.

"Why is that?" If Zhong Qinghan said that he only said that he wanted to marry Su Ziheng at the beginning, he only said that he wanted to marry Su Ziheng, but now after Zhong Gang's opposition several times, it doesn't make sense, but it arouses her rebellious heart, and she has to reason with her father.

Zhong Gang snorted coldly: "What is the identity of this kid, how can he be worthy of my Xiliang Gong's daughter?" ”

Zhong Qinghan turned his head to look at Su Ziheng, and seeing that he didn't look unhappy, he grabbed his arm tightly, and said proudly: "Yes, Ziheng's status is not high now, he is just a showman." But he is the youngest talented duke in Liangzhou in the past ten years, plus he is proficient in warfare, both civil and military, why is he not worthy of his daughter? ”

Zhong Gang was stunned when he heard this, his heart was in Xining, and there was such a young talent, why had his father never heard of it?

"Boy, who are you? How old is this year, and who is it? ”

Su Ziheng broke free from Zhong Qinghan's embrace, took two steps forward, and said, "Student Su Zhe, Su Ziheng, I have seen the Duke of Xiliang and the Duchess of Guo. Back in Xilianggong, the student is 17 years old this year and is a native of Xining. ”

"Su Zhe?" Zhong Gang muttered to himself, "This name is a little familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere before." But you're only seventeen years old this year, and you're three years apart from Qinghan, so it doesn't seem appropriate for the two of you to be together. ”

Yin Yanrou walked to Zhong Qinghan's side and persuaded in a low voice: "Yes, Qinghan, he is three years younger than you, this is not appropriate." Wei Niang also disagreed. ”

Su Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief, it was best to disagree, he was taken aback by Zhong Qinghan's "marriage" just now. Although he has a good impression of the lightest cold, it is only the kind of good friend who talks about it, and it has not risen to the level of a lover.

What's more, he understands his own affairs, he has a fiancée in name, and secretly has a lover who has been around overnight, if Zhong Gang really agrees to his marriage with Zhong Qinghan, and he learns about these things about himself in the future, I am afraid that the five horses are still light, and they will be cut by a thousand knives.

Zhong Qinghan is a good girl, but it is too risky to be with her, so you must not agree.

Zhong Qinghan saw that his mother, who loved him the most, was also opposed to being with Su Ziheng, so he immediately shook her arm and said, "Mother, why is it not appropriate?" Even if he is a little younger, he can still take care of his daughter. ”

Yin Yanrou patted the back of Zhong Qinghan's hand and said softly: "Qinghan, he is a little talented man, and he is only seventeen years old, how can he afford to support you, my mother doesn't want you to marry and suffer in the past." ”

Zhong Qinghan covered his mouth and smiled, "What should my daughter do, it turns out that my mother is worried that her daughter will suffer?" You can rest assured about this. Ziheng's family is not rich at the moment, but her daughter believes that it will only take a few years to become one of the richest people in Great Xia. ”

"Huh?" At this time, Zhong Gang and Yin Yanrou were both curious, "Qing Han, what ability does he have to become the richest person in Great Xia?" ”

Zhong Qinghan looked at Su Ziheng's back with tenderness in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Because Ziheng not only invented pottery grenades, but also invented cement. With this item, it is enough to ensure the continuous wealth of the Su family. ”

Zhong Gang's face changed slightly, and he suddenly became calm, "I just said that this name is a little familiar, it turns out that cement was also invented by him?" In this way, he is really versatile and capable. ”

No one knows the importance of cement better than him, a magical thing that can build a city in months, and the value is many times more valuable than a pottery grenade.

With this alone, Emperor Xia can be knighted and blessed for several generations. In this way, money is nothing.

So Zhong Gang looked at Su Ziheng's gaze and became strange, which made Su Ziheng's heart suddenly, and he said secretly: "What is this?" Originally, she was just accompanying Qinghan to visit her father, but she overheard a secret that was enough to make her die without a place to be buried, and now she is related to Qinghan's marriage, which comes too quickly and is really exciting. ”

Hey, isn't the most important thing now to talk about your husband and wife? Why are they all looking at me?
