Chapter Ninety-One: It's None of Their Thing

Buckshot can't fly that high, and even if it does, it has no strength, not to mention that such a high distance is not much different from hitting the moon for an arquebus. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even the most elite gunmen below are difficult to pose any threat to Jian Chen.

Lin Xi listened to the gunshots below, looked at the gunsmoke below, patted his chest with some fear, and said, "Let's fly to a place where we shouldn't fly." ”

Jian Chen smiled: "If you can't hit it, don't stick your head outside, come here." Besides, I don't remember any laws that prohibit flying. Don't be afraid. ”

"Did you calculate the direction of the wind and deliberately fly this way?"

"Yes and no, I'm not sure where this thing is going. I just flew with the wind, but I thought it would cause the military to move, but I didn't think it would shoot. By the way, weren't you just drawing a charcoal drawing of the capital city in the air? Are you done drawing? ”

"Where is it so easy to finish? When I was a child, I imagined what the world was like when those flying birds saw it, and now I realize that it is so vast. No wonder those birds that have flown in the sky are difficult to feed in cages, they have seen such a magical world, where would they like those birdcages made of bamboo sticks? Perhaps only those birds that have been in cages since childhood will sing happily, and if they haven't seen nature, they don't know what they have lost. ”

Knowing that the bullets were still flying at this time, Lin Xi still tilted his head slightly, wanting to continue looking, but was pulled over by Chen Jian and sat in Chen Jian's arms.

After struggling slightly, he stopped moving, and gently leaned into Jian Chen's arms, half-closed eyes, lying comfortably, letting his strong and powerful arms encircle his body.

"It's warm."

After muttering a word, he stopped talking, but savored the warmth that belonged to one person, which was completely different from the spring that was the same for everyone.

…………

When Yu Linwei, who was chasing on horseback, found the hot air balloon, the balloon used up the last bit of heat and fell to the ground very gently, and there was no slightest breeze, so it didn't move.

These sweaty soldiers chasing balloons saw such a scene in the hanging basket, a pair of young men and women, like young men and women in the woods of the spring Waiko Festival, hugging each other, their faces soft and sweet.

The officer who was ordered to chase thought about being in the air just now, and then thought about what he saw after chasing for a long time, but he saw such a scene that was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar, and couldn't help but half-scold and half-sigh: "You guys are really good at playing!" ”

For some reason, driven by half curiosity and half a certain mentality, the officer's eyes looked at the clothes of the two men, and found that they were intact and there were no traces of unraveling, and there was no special flush on the girl's face, and he was a little disappointed.

Soldiers with guns surrounded the gondola, and the officer shouted without a master: "Tie the rope to the tree, don't let it run!" Oops, those two people inside, wake up! ”

Lin Xi's face was a little red when he saw so many people staring at him, but he was not too shy, and shook Jian Chen, who was pretending to be asleep.

Jian Chen opened his eyes, saw a group of soldiers, and hurriedly said, "I...... I'm a native of China, but I haven't committed any crimes. Besides, the law doesn't say that you can't fly, right? ”

The officer said angrily: "Nonsense, there is also a rule that idle people are not allowed to come within fifty steps of the hall of the National People's Council and the Yamen of the Six Ministries without consent or special holidays." ”

Jian Chen nodded and said, "I know this, but I was definitely fifty steps away at that time. Otherwise, with your marksmanship, you will definitely beat me. ”

The officer was quite helpless, and also noticed the badges of the disciples of the school palace on the chests of the two people, half of the school palace were noble figures, and many of them were recommended for admission, and he didn't want to provoke them.

"Come down, because of this incident, we Yulinwei have all shot! Do you know how big of a deal it was for Yu Linwei to shoot? Whether there is guilt or not, go to the judge and argue with him. Today, there are also envoys from the Qi Kingdom coming, and it is not good to frighten them. ”

Chen Jian pulled Lin Xi and jumped off the hanging basket, and several soldiers looked at the huge cloth bag balloon curiously, and they were surprised and did not forget to search for the things on it.

Soon, the partially drawn bird's-eye view of the capital was taken out, along with a wooden box that had not been opened.

When the picture was delivered to the officer, the officer glanced at it, nodded his head, and said in his heart that the capital was actually like this.

Like anyone who sees a bird's-eye view for the first time, his eyes circled around it to find out where his home was.

After the soldiers carried the wooden box down, the officer put away the bird's-eye view and asked, "What's in the box?" ”

"Guns. I didn't say I was allowed to bring a gun. I thought about shooting a big bird like a falcon in the air and giving it to her. ”

"Open!"

With a shout, the soldiers opened the wooden box, and a very beautiful, carefully polished hammer flintlock pistol appeared in front of them, which was completely different from the construction of the flintlock pistol that was commonly used at this time, and seemed to have simple parts.

What is even more strange is that this gun has a short sword on its muzzle, which actually looks like a short spear.

The officers and soldiers were a little curious, they had never seen such a gun, let alone a dagger stuck in the muzzle.

After careful examination, the soldier said: "There was no buckshot, only a small packet of gunpowder and a piece of flint. ”

The officer snorted and said, "Didn't you say you were going to fight the falcon?" Without buckshot, what do you shoot with? ”

Jian Chen laughed and said, "You don't know anything." When I was a child, my father used to take me to play on warships, and the sailors used to shoot seagulls with their guns when they were idle, and once a seagull was wailing in the air, and my father made a bet with the quartermaster that he could shoot the seagull without buckshot. The quartermaster didn't believe it, so he gambled with my father for four hundred silver coins......"

With nonsense in their mouths, the soldiers gathered around to hear the story, and their curiosity was aroused.

The officer heard a different meaning from Chen Jian's words, and he also wanted to know the ending of the story, but he heard it outside the story: first of all, this guy's father was at least the captain of the ship, and he was when he was a child; Secondly, if you talk and laugh with the quartermaster, why should you be a school officer......

If it weren't for Jian Chen's feeling that his father was a nobody in the capital, he would definitely call my father Chen Siwen or something like that.

Everyone was attracted by his story, and saw that he talked eloquently with a bit of a soldier's nonsense, especially his expression, which was simply the standard action of a veteran boasting after drinking, and he danced with his hands, which actually gave birth to a bit of closeness among his peers.

After Jian Chen finished telling the story of the frightened bird, even Lin Xi nodded frequently when he heard it, the soldiers all laughed, and the officer held back a smile with a tense face: "Okay!" Don't talk about it, come back with us. General Lang's order is to be arrested, and the magistrate cannot control the affairs of the army, and the army has its own laws. If you're really okay, interrogate and let it out. Do you know how to ride a horse? ”

"Yes."

"Take two horses and bring them back!"

Jian Chen took out the blanket on his body, took out all the silver coins in it and said, "I'm really sorry to let you run so far and be covered in sweat." This money to buy some drinks......"

Dozens of silver coins glittered in the sun, and the officer took them and shared them with everyone, and said with relief: "I think there should be nothing wrong." Let's go. ”

After going back, he was first imprisoned, and the officer took the bird's-eye view and flintlock pistol to report to General Lang, who was angry and slightly stunned when he saw these two things.

"General, I asked, those two people are both disciples of the Academy Palace, and their family backgrounds are innocent. The man's father was still an officer in Mincheng, and he ...... He flew into the sky, and he made love to the woman. He said...... The law doesn't say it's forbidden to fly. ”

General Lang said with a smile: "Nonsense, don't I know that I can't fly?" Fortunately, this is a false alarm, but what if someone flies overhead on this thing and throws gunpowder? Even if you don't throw gunpowder, who can resist throwing an iron ball down? Fly to the sky and make out? Why don't you go to the moon? It's a man of temperament! ”

The officer said helplessly: "What should I do?" ”

"I'll ask first, and then I'll talk about it when I ask clearly."

While talking, a few more people came outside, holding a few pieces of paper and a wooden box. General Lang glanced at it, frowned, and said, "This is a merchant who sells glass and mirrors?" This is a great way to advertise it! Others can't learn if they want to. Nan'an Private Glass Factory...... I seem to have heard this name, my brother gave me a few pieces of glass, saying that someone else gave him ......"

Thinking of this, he flipped through the bird's-eye view again and again, nodded and said, "This is really a good thing, but the businessman's mind is full of profits, and it is simply a tyrannical thing!" What about the disciples of the Xue Palace, the low horizon is disdainful, why are these juniors like this now? I got this thing out to sell goods and make love to women! It's really not as good as the generation. ”

He looked at the flintlock pistol again, stared at the short sword on it thoughtfully, didn't know what he thought, nodded and said, "What about people?" I'll ask! ”

"Shut it up."

Lang will point to the bird's-eye view and flintlock pistol and say, "Take this thing with me." ”

Kicking open the door of the barracks cell, Jian Chen glanced at the clothes and decorations on the person who came, and hurriedly got up.

General Lang didn't ask who his surname was, he took the picture and said, "You draw this in the air, and it won't be a problem for you to be guilty of fine work." ”

Jian Chen hurriedly said: "Actually, what I want is to give me a reward in the army." You think, such a good way to draw a map is to observe other people's fortresses to see where the weak points are, or to observe the movement of the enemy's artillery and cavalry during the battle, to see the weak points of the opponent's line or the places where panic occurs during the movement. Even if it's a siege, you can see the movement in the city clearly......"

General Lang was slightly surprised by Jian Chen's understanding of military affairs, which sounded really interesting, so he snorted and said, "It seems that you know very well what this thing can be used for?" ”

"How can I say that my father is also a Chinese officer who fought hard with blood, and he naturally knows something."

"That's weird. Since your father is an officer, could it be that you didn't let your father use it first, but you went to the capital to draw pictures? ”

Jian Chen smiled: "You know how to ...... My father was in the Navy. This thing is not needed by the navy, and the ships are moving, and it is enough for the navy to have masts, and there is no need for the navy to fight fortresses and battles. On the contrary, the army is extremely useful. If I go through the normal channels, who knows if I will be suppressed by the Navy, and when and when will I be seen by the Army? Those people in the quartermaster department were so full that they had long forgotten the appearance of the battle formation and the smell of gunsmoke, but I couldn't enter the barracks, so I had to make this decision. ”

After finishing speaking, Jian Chen said again: "I heard that the envoy of the Qi State arrived today, won't it be because he released the gun to surprise me with a friend, right?" ”

With a bang, Lang Jiang slammed the table and said angrily: "Bastard words! Where did the friends come from? That's the Huaxia Feudal Kingdom, you and your father are friends? Besides, I'm free to let go of guns in Huaxia, what's their business? ”
