"Huh~" With a crisp gunshot, a thick white smoke rose, and a muffled sound came from the target in the distance, which made Zhao Yan and the others behind them all feel shocked, and immediately stepped forward to check, and found that the target was covered with two layers of armor that had been shot through, which made Qi Yu and these craftsmen also cheer, and it seemed that they were also very satisfied with the power of the musket.

"Yes, yes, although the range of the musket is shorter than that of the bow and arrow, but the penetration is much stronger than the bow and arrow, and there is almost no armor to block under the close range of shots, which can deal with the enemy's elite troops equipped with excellent armor!" After Zhao Yan saw the test firing power of the musket with his own eyes, he was also very satisfied, although this arquebus still had various shortcomings, but Qi Yu and they were able to achieve this point is already very good.

"Thank you for the compliment, but we also know that the musket still has various shortcomings, and we will definitely find ways to improve it in the future, and we will definitely live up to the trust of the county king!" At this time, Qi Yu once again assured with a solemn face, he had heard Zhao Yan talk about the development history of firearms before, although he was also very curious about why Zhao Yan knew this, but he was very smart and didn't ask much, and after understanding these things, he could let him take a few detours, so he was also very aware of how big the gap between himself and Zhao Yan's ideal firearms was.

"Well, Qi Yu, you are working very hard, but the improvement of the musket cannot be completed in a day or two, so you don't have to work too hard, especially now after getting the musket out, you need to take a break, and the combination of work and rest is the way to last." Zhao Yan smiled and persuaded at the moment, Qi Yu is good at everything, but he is too easy to be fascinated by something, in the words of later generations, he is a workaholic, and he lost more than ten pounds in order to develop artillery. This will greatly harm a person's health, and Zhao Yan doesn't want this firearms research expert in his hands to die so young.

"Thank you Junwang, the villain must pay attention to rest!" Qi Yu had heard Zhao Yan say this about him more than once, and he remembered it every time, but as soon as he encountered a problem with firearms, he couldn't help but want to overcome it desperately. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep at all, so sometimes he wouldn't be able to control himself.

Although the musket has been developed, it cannot be promoted in the army for the time being because of some technical defects and problems such as too expensive construction, and then Qi Yu needs to find a way to improve some defects and then reduce the cost, so that it can be produced on a large scale, but it is not easy to achieve large-scale production. Next, Qi Yu and the others were busy.

However, Zhao Yan had just finished watching the test firing of the musket, but he didn't expect someone in the palace to come in a hurry, it was Zhao Shu who announced his entry into the palace, Zhao Yan had already expected this, and he knew that Zhao Shu let himself enter the palace at this time, which must be related to the empty matter.

At that moment, Zhao Yan entered the palace unhurriedly, and then saw Zhao Shu with a gray complexion in the vertical arch hall. Although Cao Tong and Zhilugu suppressed Zhao Shu's condition during this time, Zhao Shu's body was not as good as day by day. Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang try their best to talk to Zhao Shu every day, but unfortunately Zhao Shu is still entangled in government affairs at this time, and sometimes he can't even guarantee rest.

"Son-in-law, see father!" Zhao Yan came in and immediately saluted Zhao Shu, and then looked at Huang Wude beside Zhao Shu, only to find that the other party was giving him a look, and at the same time pointed at the guide with his finger hiddenly. This also confirmed Zhao Yan's guess, Zhao Shu called him here today must have something to do with the emptiness in the south.

Sure enough, when Zhao Shu saw Zhao Yan coming in, he immediately asked with a calm face: "Yan'er, you tell me honestly." Does the affairs of the South have anything to do with you? ”

"South? What's going on in the South? Zhao Yan said confusedly, of course he couldn't admit that the empty thing was planned by him, of course Zhao Shu might have found out something, but except for himself and Kong, as well as Princess Bao'an and Cao Ying, no one else knew about this matter, so as long as Zhao Yan bit it to death and didn't admit it, Zhao Shu couldn't do anything about it.

"Hmph, you are still confused with me, the leader of the Rakshasa Army in the south is the former Xiangji Temple presided over Kong, and you have a close relationship with Kong, and your second sister seems to have a personal relationship with Kong, don't you know this?" Zhao Shu snorted coldly at this time, if he hadn't already investigated some things, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to call Zhao Yan over.

Zhao Yan was also a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhao Shu to find out the relationship between Princess Bao'an and Kong, but he thought that Princess Bao'an had already shown her feet in front of Zhao Shu last time, and with Huang Wude's ability, he should be able to find some clues, so he was also prepared, and said at the moment: "Father Qiqi, it turns out that you are talking about the matter between the second sister and the air, I do know some about this matter, but the sky knows that he is not worthy of the second sister, so he left the capital a few years ago, and the son heard that he went to the south, I didn't expect him to become the leader of the Rakshasa Army, which is really hard to believe. ”

Zhao Shu saw that Zhao Yan didn't admit it, and he couldn't help but feel angry and funny at the moment, if he didn't know that Zhao Yan definitely had no ambitions, I am afraid that he would think that Zhao Yan was secretly cultivating the force in the Rakshasa army. Speaking of which, when he knew that the Rakshasa Army had grown into a tyrant on the sea, he was still a little worried, but after knowing Kong's identity and the relationship between Kong's and Princess Bao'an, he suddenly understood that this must be Kong's desire to use this to improve his identity, so that he could be worthy of his daughter, and although there was no evidence, Zhao Shu firmly believed that Zhao Yan must have made a lot of efforts in it, so he called him to question, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan to admit it at all.

Zhao Shu also knew that as long as Zhao Yan didn't admit it, he wouldn't be able to come up with any evidence, so he had to glare at Zhao Yan fiercely, and then sat down angrily before he spoke: "Yan'er, I don't care what your relationship with the void is, but now the existence of the Rakshasa Army has threatened the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, fortunately, they are self-aware, and this time they even proposed to attach to the imperial court, how do you think the imperial court should deal with them?" ”

"This ......" Hearing Zhao Shu ask his opinion, Zhao Yan couldn't help but hesitate for a moment before he spoke, "Enlighten my father, such a major event in the court, I don't know what the opinions of my father and the ministers in the court are?" ”

"Hmph, I haven't made up my mind yet, as for the ministers in the court, it's not like that, one group of people agrees with the other group of people, and the noise in the court is endless, I'm afraid there will be no result in a short period of time, so my father wants to hear your opinion." Zhao Shu snorted coldly again, and he didn't know if he was dissatisfied with Zhao Yan or the courtiers?

Of course, Zhao Yan was very much in favor of accepting the empty attachment, but he couldn't express it too obviously, so he saw that he deliberately pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Father, in the past few years, with the efforts of the eldest sister, the sea trade of my Great Song Dynasty has grown rapidly, and it has brought a large amount of taxes to the imperial court every year, and the son can assert that there will be a lot of growth in the sea trade in the future, so the son feels that the safety of the coast is very important, since this is the case, Then the attachment of the Rakshasa Army is also a great thing for our Great Song, and after receiving their power, it can enhance our control over the sea, so Erchen feels that he can agree to their attachment! ”

Although Zhao Yan made a detour to me, but in the end, his purpose was exposed, which made Zhao Shu sneer at the moment and said: "Yan'er, you are very calculating, if you let the Rakshasa army attach, then you must vigorously appease the high-level of the Rakshasa so that they can be loyal to the court, especially that one is empty, do you want to marry your second sister too, so that you can also calm his heart?" ”

Seeing Zhao Shu's plan at a glance, Zhao Yan is not surprised, with Zhao Shu's intelligence, it is strange if he can't see it, but now that the situation has been completed, Zhao Yan is not afraid that Zhao Shu will know, so he smiled and said: "By the way, Kong must be appeased, as for whether to marry the second sister, it depends on whether the second sister is willing." ”

"Humph!" Zhao Shu heard Zhao Yan's faceless words, and couldn't help but snort coldly again, just now Zhao Yan still refused to admit that he had a relationship with Kong, but in a blink of an eye, he began to match Kong and Princess Bao'an, if he didn't intervene in this matter, Zhao Shu would not believe it.

"Yan'er, you tell me honestly, when did Shu Ning and the void start, and did you have any transgressions?" Anyway, there were only two of them in the hall, father and son, and Huang Wude didn't have to worry about it at all, so Zhao Shu directly asked about the relationship between Kong and Princess Bao'an, so as to make the next judgment.

"Absolutely not!" Zhao Yan immediately replied when he heard this, "Father, you know the second sister, she is a very polite woman, and she will never make any transgressions, speaking of which, the reason why they met is mainly because the second sister was sick at the beginning, but fortunately, the air saved her, and she has been in contact many times in the future, but the relationship between the two is absolutely innocent." ”

When he said this, Zhao Yan paused for a moment and then said: "However, although the etiquette between the second sister and the air was transgressed, both of them are people of the most affectionate and sexual, the second sister has been waiting for nearly three years for the sake of the air, and the air has become a robber who kills people and sets fire to the sea, in order to wait for the day when they can break through their identities and walk together, so I also ask my father to fulfill it!" ”

Although Zhao Yan's words were not much, they highlighted the depth of the relationship between Princess Bao'an and Kong, which made Zhao Shu silent after listening to it, the so-called knowing daughter Mo Ruo's father, Zhao Shu knew that although Princess Bao'an had a gentle personality, once she recognized one thing, it would be difficult for her to change her mind.
