Chapter 262: The Important Box
The barrel alone took five craftsmen more than a year, and at first I wanted to use steel, but I found that there were too many pores in the inverted mold, and I could blow up the chamber, and then I could replace it with copper, but there were many problems when grinding, and finally it took more than a year to make a suitable barrel.

For the robbery in his hand, Wu Yuanqing spent thousands of times, but fortunately, with the previous experience, the production in the back is much faster, and the cost is much smaller, but in half a year, he still only made three more robs, costing five hundred.
After leaving Chang'an, Wang Ziyu asked Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to send four muskets in the big box, as well as a large number of paper shell bullets, saying that the bullets were actually just a certain amount of gunpowder and steel balls wrapped in paper, made into a cylindrical shape suitable for the barrel, and the bottom had to be cut when loading from the barrel, otherwise the flint would not be able to ignite the gunpowder.
Since the musket was ready, Wu Yuanqing only dared to put two shots when he left Chang'an City and when there was no one around, he shot rabbits, pheasants or something.
As the saying goes, if you have a hammer in your hand, you look at everything like a nail.
Wu Yuanqing is a person who has a hammer, he looks at everything like a nail, and for a while when he held a gun, he really looked at everything like a target, and he wanted to break through, and it took a while to get used to it.
Wang Ziyu heard him say the mentality at that time, and remembered it in his heart, so he asked Zhao Long and Zhao Hu to send him the gun.
The meaning is self-evident, that is, let him find the Turks and fire two shots to have a good time.
This accomplice and evil mother-in-law actually encouraged her husband to kill people, but I like it, Wu Yuanqing thought sweetly.
After Wu Yuanqing finished posing and playing handsome, the Turkic soldiers woke up from their daze.
"Hell," one of the Turks cried out in horror as he looked at the tattered corpse of his head.
The Turkic soldiers, who were already frightened and suspicious and did not know what General Kang Sumi had died, were awakened by this voice to the boundless fear of ghosts and gods in their hearts, and they cried one by one, begging for mercy and running away.
After the Turkic soldiers ran away, Wu Yuanqing also hurriedly asked Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to slip away, otherwise it would not be very beautiful if they were blocked by Li Jing's people.
To a small extent, it is said that Wu Yuanqing is disobeying military orders and leaving his post without permission, and at a large level, he is said to have disobeyed military orders and left his post without permission, and he is suspected of stealing merit.
Anyway, no matter what, being blocked by Li Jing on the spot didn't end well.
Another point is that Wu Yuanqing is very interested in the box that Queen Xiao is holding, which is also a reason why he doesn't want Li Jing to block it.
It is said that the jade seal of the country was brought to the Turks by Queen Xiao, Wu Yuanqing didn't know whether it was true or not, but when she saw that Fang Cai was so dangerous, Queen Xiao still held on to the box, and Wu Yuanqing was basically sure that this box contained the jade seal of the country.
Otherwise, it is impossible for such a large box to contain gold and silver jewelry.
If it is really loaded with gold and silver jewelry, it will be too embarrassing to be the queen of a country, and it will be too expensive to die.
After all, Wu Yuanqing disobeyed the military order and ran away, and he will definitely be heavily blamed when he goes back, and he may really lose his head, but as long as the jade seal in the box is sent to Chang'an, Li Shimin will definitely be happy, even if he is not punished, at least it can be much lighter, and he will not lose his head.
Everyone else was killed, but Wu Yuanqing and his party ran back, and they also took a woman with them, and dozens of other people were not wearing soldiers, even if Wu Yuanqing was wearing armor that only military generals of the fourth grade or above could wear, but it still aroused the vigilance of many Tang soldiers.
Along the way, many people came forward to stop him, but fortunately, Wu Yuanqing had a sign in his hand to prove his identity, as a person with an ID card, Wu Yuanqing was very bold, scolded all the way, and finally got out of the city before being discovered by Li Jing and Su Dingfang.
After leaving the city, they retrieved the spare horses that had been tied to the wilderness outside the city to carry supplies, and Wu Yuanqing and his party began to gallop towards the way they came.
Not long after Wu Yuanqing and his group left the city, the people below finally reported to Li Jing that Wu Yuanqing's group of uninvited guests with strange behavior had appeared and left.
After listening to the description of the person in charge, coupled with the disappearance of Empress Xiao, Li Jing knew that it must be Wu Yuanqing.
Last year's uproar about the divorce incident, although the parties did not say it explicitly, but the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee still knew about the transaction through grapevine, needless to say, Wu Yuanqing must have come for Queen Xiao, and protecting Queen Xiao was the content of that transaction, but I didn't expect Wu Yuanqing to come out in person.
In this regard, Li Jing was noncommittal and did not pursue it, the focus in front of him was not a useless queen who had lost the country, but continued to press on Jieli Khan, looking for an opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop.
said that Wu Yuanqing and his entourage, because there were two Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao; It was cumbersome, and the return journey was much slower, and it was only after five days that he returned to Shuofang.
"Thank God, your kid is finally back alive" Cheng Chumo saw Wu Yuanqing from a distance on the city tower, so he hurriedly ran down and went out of the city to greet him.
"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few days, you kid can talk a lot, why is there nothing going on in the city" Wu Yuanqing was also very happy, seeing Cheng Chu's relieved look, he couldn't help but joke with a smile.
Jokes are jokes, business still has to be cared about, his task is very important, he is responsible for the supply of food and grass for the entire middle army, if something goes wrong and affects the war against the Turks, the emperor will definitely cut him without saying a word.
"Don't worry, what can happen with me," Cheng said with a smile. After finishing it, he glanced at Empress Xiao on the horse behind him and asked, "This is Emperor Yang of Sui and his wife?" How did you get her out of Xiangcheng, could it be that Chief Manager Li has already taken Xiangcheng? ”
"That's right, Xiangcheng is already my Tang Dynasty, brother, I brought them out when I entered the city alone" Wu Yuanqing nodded.
"So fast, a few days to fight," Cheng Chumo asked curiously.
"In a few days, after rushing to Xiangcheng to launch a charge, a cup of tea rushed into the city. The Turks were not given a chance to react at all, and many were hacked to death while they were still asleep. Jieli didn't organize any resistance, and he ran away first, "Wu Yuanqing, the garbage combat force of the Turks, expressed great contempt, and said that the Tang Iron Cavalry seemed to have to rush to kill the melons and vegetables, which was called a hearty.
As they walked, the group entered the city.
After settling Empress Xiao and her entourage and getting a good meal, Wu Yuanqing came to Empress Xiao's house.
"Thank you General Wu for coming to the rescue, the old body is grateful" Without waiting for Wu Yuanqing to express his intentions, Empress Xiao opened her mouth first to thank her and made a big gift.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Empress Xiao killed the kid, this is what the kid should do, the kid promised Lord Xiao to protect your safety, naturally you have to do what you say, and you just call me Yuanqing, General Wu or something, the kid doesn't dare to be" Wu Yuanqing was so frightened that he hurriedly helped Queen Xiao up.
"Then Yuanqing is here for the jade seal, right?"
Well, the topic changed so suddenly I was caught off guard.
