Chapter 36: The Shooting Range
Sun Shangxiang lived in Luoyang Yuan Mansion, Feng Xuan would naturally be warmly received by such a big person, and even contributed the best small building in Yuan Mansion, which made Yuan Yun only smile bitterly when he looked at it.
Feng Xuan has seen a lot of big people, but for the definition of her identity, she still stays on the small citizen, and her natural inferiority complex always makes her full of awe for those so-called big people, especially Sun Shangxiang is still the eldest daughter of the Sun family in Yangzhou, which makes her treat it very carefully.
The best pastries and the best meals were almost all supplied to the small courtyard where Sun Shangxiang lived, but Sun Shangxiang herself always complained in front of Yuan Yun, so after living in Yuan's mansion, she gained weight very quickly.
Now, Sun Shangxiang is still complaining, in the carriage on the way to the workshop.
Yuan Yun just looked at the street outside the window inscrutablely, and didn't seem to hear Sun Shangxiang's words from time to time, but Qing'er, who was also in the carriage, would take care of each other from time to time.
"Yuan Hou, your little concubine is really very gratifying, why don't you give it to me as a personal maid?" Sun Shangxiang's question finally interrupted the silence in the carriage.
Yuan Yun squinted at Sun Shangxiang, and then hugged Qing'er in his arms, and then said angrily: "This is Benhou's baby, don't change your daughter, is Miss Sun thinking too much?" ”
Sun Shangxiang pursed her lips and said unhappily: "It's just a concubine, and it's not a wife, why is Yuan Hou so nervous?" ”
Yuan Yun frowned slightly, then patted Qing'er's shoulder, and then replied even more angrily: "Those tones of your people in the city, Ben Hou has never liked them, my women are naturally my wives, not playthings, it seems that Miss Sun will not understand." ”
When Sun Shangxiang heard this, he immediately looked at Qing'er in front of him carefully, although he didn't know why Yuan Yun was so anxious, but he had already guessed in his heart that Qing'er, this little girl, must have some powerful room technique, otherwise how could he tempt the head of the Yuan family so deeply? If he made such a request in Yangzhou, it is estimated that the master's family would immediately pack the concubine and send it to her in a sedan chair.
Qing'er still maintained this faint smile even if she heard the two of them talking about this kind of conversation, first of all, she was very sure that Yuan Yun would not be able to give her away, and secondly, she was more attached to Yuan Yun in her heart, and it was estimated that having such a husband was the yearning of every woman.
Because Qing'er knows very well that if she encounters a distinguished guest like Sun Shangxiang in another house and asks a concubine to be a personal maid, it will naturally be sent out immediately, which is not strange in the Cao Mansion where she was born.
But her husband Yuan Yun is not like this, this has been proven in many things, Yuan Yun attaches great importance to each of these women around him, and he has never been like other family owners, he always likes to mess with flowers and grass everywhere, especially now Yuan Yun, his identity is already extremely noble, and it will not be too much to want as many women as he wants.
Sun Shangxiang really didn't understand Yuan Yun's insistence, in her opinion, Qing'er was just a concubine, so when she just wanted to ridicule each other, she suddenly heard a few explosions, which made her immediately nervous, because these sounds were similar to the muskets released by Yuan Yun in the academy's vegetable shed.
Pu Yuan and Ma Jun had naturally been waiting outside the shooting range for a long time, and when they received that Yuan Yun was going to bring guests over to see the musket today, they had made full preparations.
As soon as Sun Shangxiang got out of the car, she felt inexplicable, because there was a big red carpet on the ground, leading to a large wooden door, listening to the continuous gunshots behind the wooden door, she already understood what she was about to see, so she walked out in three steps and two steps.
Pu Yuan and Ma Jun prepared quite thoroughly, at this moment, there were three teams of musketeers lined up on the shooting range, each team had as many as 100 people, and the scene was immediately much more spectacular.
Yuan Yun chose a low wall and stood still, then looked back at Sun Shangxiang who was following, and then said to Pu Yuan and Ma Jun: "Everyone is here, let's practice now and see what results our musket team has." ”
Pu Yuan immediately snorted, and then commanded several teams to start arranging, while Ma Jun went to the last row of the shooting range, and he didn't know what performance he had prepared.
Sun Shangxiang stood in Yuan Yun for a moment, his eyes kept staring at a few straw figures five or six hundred steps away, these straw figures were very strange, because there was a sign hanging on each chest, and there were many red circles painted on it, I don't know what they were for.
"Raise your gun!" With the shout of a team leader, more than a hundred people immediately raised their spears with a loud bang.
"Launch!"
Woohoo Woo ......
After Sun Shangxiang heard the sound, she was a little surprised at first, but after all, she was also a martial artist, so she didn't seem very panicked, and after forcibly suppressing it for a while, she looked at the so-called targets in the distance, only to see that the wooden cards on the chests of those straw men were broken, and some of the straw men even lit a fire directly.
"Come forward in the back row!"
"Launch!"
Woohoo Woo ......
By the time a new round of muskets was fired, the range was filled with gunsmoke, and the scarecrows in the distance were no longer visible, each one staggering, and the rammed earth wall behind the straw men left countless craters. Even the rammed earth walls have cracked.
Yuan Yun frowned, such a volley of 100 people is indeed much more powerful, and it is the first time he has seen such a large scale, and he can't help but feel a fear in his heart, if more than 100 people hit him, it is estimated that even if he has wings, he will not be able to escape.
Rumble!
Suddenly, an earth-shattering sound came, and all the scarecrows on the opposite side of the shooting range flew in the air, and then those roars began to continue, and then countless gunpowder smoke and fire rose on the opposite side of the shooting range, and it became very terrifying in an instant, all the dirt and sand and gravel flew up, and the fire rolled on the ground, and the thick black smoke also gushed straight out.
"These things made by Yuan Hou are indeed extremely powerful, if you fight against these things, I'm afraid the other party will have no way to live." Sun Shangxiang sighed, her eyes were deep and powerful, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Yuan Yun didn't have a half-smug expression, but said solemnly: "If the Sun family can peacefully disarm and surrender, these things will definitely not come in handy, and after Miss Sun goes back, you should still persuade your two elder brothers." ”
Sun Shangxiang shook his head, as if he was a little out of the world, and just muttered: "It's useless, since my brother is ready to fight with the imperial court, he will definitely not give up halfway, I'm afraid Yuan Hou should have guessed this." ”
Yuan Yun nodded and said: "It should indeed be like this, your Sun family is constantly building fortifications in Yangzhou, and you are crazy about recruiting troops, if this will make you give up suddenly, it is indeed very difficult to do." ”
Sun Shangxiang was still staring at the smoke rising in the distance, and said with a wry smile in an instant: "It seems that in the coming days, our Sun family will have a very hard time." ”
Yuan Yun nodded again and said: "It's really sad, unless your two brothers can give up their unnecessary ambitions and come to the court to surrender with peace of mind, you can at least be a marquis from now on, and it will definitely be no problem to enjoy your old age in peace for the rest of your life." ”
Sun Shangxiang didn't speak directly this time, but slowly walked towards the road she came, but the light sigh from her mouth was very clear.
Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders, then praised Pu Yuan and Ma Jun a few words, and then followed him, and after taking a few steps closer, he said, "How long does Miss Sun plan to stay in Luoyang?" ”
Sun Shangxiang replied: "Didn't Yuan Hou say that he wanted me to finish watching the workshop in Luoyang, is it possible to regret it now?" ”
