Chapter 1182: Rich Merchant
"What is the method that the general is talking about? And who offered it? Chen Gaoxuan, the king of Linshan, squinted his eyes and asked, he was really interested at this time, mainly because Zhao Xiong would not lie, so he knew at a glance that Zhao Xiong was indeed very confident in that idea, but he and the strategist had not come up with a plan for a long time, did anyone really have a way?
"Back to Your Highness, this method can't be explained by Weichen for a while, so it's better to ask Your Highness to move, and I will personally demonstrate it to Your Majesty."
"Oh?" Chen Gaoxuan became interested, "How is General Zhao going to demonstrate?" ”
"If Your Majesty has time, you will be able to go to the martial arts arena to demonstrate, and if Your Majesty is in a hurry to see it, it will be fine in the garden, but the garden will inevitably be damaged."
"What is General Zhao going to do? Isn't it not a formation or a stratagem, it's more like a weapon? ”
"That's right, Your Majesty, this is an unprecedented weapon, and the last general dares to guarantee that as long as we produce this weapon in large quantities in the future, it will play a decisive role in our plan to enter the Imperial City in the future."
When Chen Gaoxuan heard him say this, his eyes sharpened: "General Zhao, do you know what you are talking about?" ”
"The last general doesn't dare to lie and deceive His Highness, the last general has already prepared some of that weapon, and he is welcome to review it at any time." Zhao Xiong knelt down again, and his words were very sincere.
The strategists and generals of the King of Linshan looked at each other, and they were all suspicious of his bold words, if the weapons obtained by Zhao Xiong were really as powerful as he said, then wouldn't they be victorious in the future?
"Your Highness, since what General Zhao said is so sure, why don't we move to the martial arts arena first and let General Zhao demonstrate it to us." A strategist suggested.
"General Zhao, if the weapon you said is not as powerful as you say, are you willing to bear the military law?" Chen Gaoxuan said with a serious expression.
"If the things offered by the last general cannot satisfy His Highness, the last general is willing to accept any punishment!" Zhao Xiong made a military order, and then it became even more curious.
A group of people moved to the martial arts arena in a mighty manner, Zhao Xiong straightened his back, with a high-spirited expression on his face, who didn't laugh at him when he came back before? Obviously, the people who have already defeated the King of Donghe have not recruited the Ye family, laughing at him for just bringing back two women, but those people don't know that the women he brought back are the greatest wealth.
He was very grateful to Ye Lu in his heart at the moment, if it wasn't for the black powder she researched, how could he have this day?
Wait, when they see the power of the black powder display, these people will only be more amazed, he will be ashamed today, and everyone will be impressed by him, he is not only brute force.
"General Zhao, the martial arts arena has arrived, can you demonstrate it now?" A general who has some grievances with Zhao Xiong on weekdays.
"Your Highness, it's fine here, but I'm going to use that hill for a demonstration." Zhao Xiong didn't pay attention to the man, but said respectfully to the king of Linshan.
"You want to use the hill over there? Aren't we standing far away? Can you see it from this distance? Chen Gaoxuan frowned and asked.
"No, Your Highness, if you get too close, I'm afraid that you will be in danger, and if you get closer, you will be out of a safe distance."
"Safe distance? General Zhao has learned some new things after coming back from going out this time, since it is something you offered, then listen to you, you can start now. ”
"Your Highness will thank you for your understanding." After Zhao Xiong finished speaking, he said to his soldiers, "Come on, bring the black powder I said." ”
"This black powder is the secret weapon that General Zhao said?" Chen Gaoxuan frowned again, "Isn't this just a few black briquettes?" ”
"No, this thing is completely different from briquettes, but it also needs to be ignited with fire, Your Highness, as long as you bury a few of this black powder on that small hill, that small hill can be blown up in an instant." Zhao Xiong's eyes revealed this very bright light at this time, and it could be seen that he was very excited.
"You're saying that just these few black briquettes can flatten that hill in an instant?" Chen Gaoxuan remained skeptical, not because he refused to believe his subordinates, but because this matter was too unbelievable.
"General Zhao, there is a price to be paid for talking big." The general who was at odds with Zhao Xiong said again.
Zhao Xiongbai glanced at him, but still ignored it, but said confidently: "Your Highness, why don't you show you now?" ”
Chen Gaoxuan nodded suspiciously: "Well, you can go." ”
In fact, at this moment, even if Zhao Xiong said before, no matter how sure he was, most people didn't believe it in their hearts, after all, although the small hill was called a small hill, it was actually not small, the size of a three- or four-story building was high, and there were usually soldiers up and down to practice, and they had already stepped on hard as rocks.
They only saw Zhao Xiong from a distance ordering the soldiers to bury the black powder around the hill, and then ordered the soldiers to disperse, and he himself lit them with torches.
The lead was very long, enough for Zhao Xiong to run back to the side of the King of the Mountains again, and he said excitedly: "Your Highness, there will be a violent sound later, you should be mentally prepared." ”
Everyone was muttering in their hearts, just a few black powder bigger than a fist, how loud can it make? It's alarmist.
But before they could say their inner complaints, they only heard a few fierce sounds, which shook their hearts and almost jumped out.
"Your Highness, be careful, isn't it the earth dragon turning over?" The soldiers instantly blocked the surroundings of the King of the Mountains.
Zhao Xiong sneered: "How can there be any earth dragon turning over? It was black powder that blew up the hill. ”
As his words landed, everyone looked at the smoky hill, and when the smoke cleared, everyone gasped, where is there any small hill? Not only is the hill gone, but a big crater has been blown up, is this really the power of those small black powder just now?
"Your Highness, this ......" The strategists were stunned and speechless.
Zhao Xiong's face showed a smug expression: "Your Highness, please come forward to check." ”
"Hmm." Chen Gaoxuan was shocked in his heart, and he didn't blame Zhao Xiong for his pride at this time, he stepped forward with a solemn face, a storm was rolling in his mind, he thought, if this kind of black powder is used in the war, how much advantage should he have?
There was still a pungent smell at the scene, but Chen Gaoxuan didn't dislike it at all, but squatted down to observe the big pit himself, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth became bigger and bigger.
"General Zhao, is sulfur used in this?" There is a wise and well-informed way.
"Exactly."
"What about the others?" The strategist asked excitedly.
Zhao Xiong didn't say it directly, but looked at King Linshan: "Your Highness......"
Only then did the strategist know that he had spoken too much, how could such a secret be told in front of so many people, in case one of them was a spy of the vassal king?
