Chapter 17 - Mysterious Firearms

Chen Xinyu laughed, "If Sister Hong really understands me, then I will just say it without beating around the bush." After speaking, Chen Xinyu snatched the wine bottle in Kong Hong's hand and hurriedly poured himself a glass. At this time, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, had already sent some chic side dishes, Chen Xinyu picked up a peanut and continued, "Actually, this matter is not difficult for you, and now someone tells me that the royal Chen family is secretly developing a new type of strategic weapon in the territory of the royal Chen family on the shore of the Shenghai, I wonder if Sister Hong can know a thing or two?"

This sentence made Kong Hong's eyes, which were originally slightly relaxed, re-focused, she glanced at the surrounding situation vigilantly, and found that the attention of the diners around her had now diverted from them, Kong Hong lowered his voice and said: "This matter is a top secret, and Zhao Ling didn't plan to tell me originally, but the last time he returned to the mansion, I occasionally saw a letter when I was sorting out his accompanying package, and I understood some of the reasons for this from that letter." ”

"Oh, what is it?" As soon as these words came out, even the two brothers and sisters Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, who originally thought it was a renewal and had no interest, also showed a strong interest at this moment, if it was really a new type of strategic weapon, I am afraid that the royal Chen family would have the upper hand in the civil war and even be able to easily defeat the country, which is also a situation that Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan brothers and sisters do not want to see. So, they also raised their heads and listened silently to the reason.

Kong Hong in front of him sighed and said in a low voice: "The current situation, although the war is suspended, the ambitions of the Chen family of the imperial family will not disappear, and their ultimate goal is to replace you and rule the entire country." They had been mining the Veku Plains for nearly a decade for the oil and the finest ore, with the ultimate aim of developing something that could use the oil and the new iron tools they were now making. In that letter, such a thing is called a firearm. I suspect it's a siege weapon capable of delivering long-range strikes and dealing massive damage. Once this weapon is developed, it will naturally be more powerful than all the weapons we have used today. Once that time comes, I'm afraid"

Kong Hong didn't finish her last sentence, but in front of her, whether it was Chen Xinyu or Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings had already fully understood what she meant. The new type of weapon, which the royal Chen family is now secretly developing, is likely to be able to dominate the entire battlefield and play a vital role in a battle.

Although Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, still don't know what this is, how could Chen Xinyu, as the monarch of a country, not know the situation. This is not only a new type of weapon, but also a weapon that completely surpasses the swords, bows and arrows and even catapults they use now, once it is really developed, I am afraid that they will have completely lost the ability to match the royal Chen family when they leave the country.

Thinking of this, Chen Xinyu couldn't help but secretly pound the table with resentment, and the anger in her heart couldn't be contained. She is now very angry with Zhou Yu's underestimation of the enemy during the Eastern Crusade, which directly caused them to suffer a major setback, and even could not recover for a while. In such a situation, they simply cannot afford to send troops to attack the royal Chen family, let alone prevent them from producing this new type of weapon.

At this time, Feng Yuchong, who had been pondering for a while, said in a low voice: "If this is really the case, once the Chen family of the royal family develops this new type of weapon, I am afraid that we will not be his opponents." At that time, I am afraid that even the current balance force will not be able to do it. ”

Feng Shanshan took over her brother's words and also expressed her opinion, "This can also understand why the royal Chen family has obviously occupied the strategic upper hand at the beginning, and they can even send troops to go deep into the country, and we may not be able to resist its edge at that time." But they chose to retreat and negotiate with us, ostensibly they wanted to recuperate the people and the army, but in fact, what they have to do now is secretly preparing to defeat us in one fell swoop with the help of such a new weapon."

Chen Xinyu sighed silently, "The two of you are very correct, and this is exactly what I have been thinking about before. It's just that this thing is really not so easy to achieve, and I will immediately ask people to go to this matter, and be sure to find out the situation. But even so, the pressure we are facing now is still very high. If they were able to develop such a new type of weapon, I am afraid that even a well-equipped army would not be their opponent now, and I had intended to use this battle to gain enough benefits, including our departure from the country to occupy the vital territory of the Viku Plain. But it's just a pity that the failure of this battle has indicated that we are powerless to meddle in this matter, after all, the army still needs to recuperate, and we really can't continue to meddle in this matter, how can this be good."

Kong Hong couldn't help but smile slightly, "Leave this matter to me, I will find a chance to talk to my father, I can learn a lot from him." Besides, my father himself was a supporter of the orthodox monarch of the country, and although the royal Chen family now controls the commercial channels of our Confucian family and the 10,000 acres of Yongye land that cannot be sold, through such means, our Confucian family has to help them. But in fact, the methods of the imperial Chen family have caused many dissatisfied people within our Kong family to appear in them, and they have even affected the current position of my father and several elders of the family. So, trust my father, who is willing to help me understand this.

Chen Xinyu smiled and clenched the palm of Kong Hong beside him, and said gratefully: "It's really my luck to have such a sister!"

Kong Hong silently clenched the wine bottle in her hand, she once again cast her eyes out of the window, and after a long time, Kong Hong sighed silently. "Actually, I don't completely help you, I also want to help myself, and now the battle situation on the Xuanling Continent is still unclear, and it is even a confrontation situation on the one hand. I am afraid that if this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the two foreign forces will further infiltrate into the sphere of influence of the country. I am also a leaver, and I am the daughter of the Kong family, so I am also responsible for this matter of unifying the Xuanling Continent as soon as possible. It's just that Kong Hong's originally peaceful gaze suddenly flashed a slightly dull color.

Kong Hong drank all the sake in the wine bottle in his hand, and then said slowly: "I don't dare to imagine, if it is really the imperial Chen family who agrees to leave the country, what will become of the country, especially the ruling rules and general rules of the imperial Chen family, I know a little bit about it, once the Xuanling Continent is unified by them, the people will only fall into dire straits." This is definitely not the result I want to see, you are a monarch who loves the people, if a person can listen to the officials around him and even the ordinary people, I believe that leaving the country will only reach its peak in your hands. ”

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, sat opposite, although they didn't say a word, but they also secretly recognized what Kong Hong said, indeed, Chen Xinyu is a very good person who can understand the suffering of the people, and can make a lot of rules and methods to improve the lives of the people. This is not something that an ordinary king can do, but only a wise and knowledgeable king can do. At this point, in the memories of the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, only Xuan Lejun, the monarch of Qi who has now mysteriously disappeared, can do this. It's just a pity that Xuan Lejun later encountered one of the catastrophes that a man couldn't avoid in his life, and an unforgettable girl appeared in his life. directly changed the fate of Xuan Lejun's life.

Chen Xinyu lowered her head silently, she knew in her heart that although Kong Hong's words did not mean to elevate, but just a kind of truthful telling on the facts. But what Kong Hong didn't know was that what she was doing now was just a kind of youthful frivolity and innocence, and her heart had not changed. According to her father, all kinds of situations in front of her will change greatly after sitting in this position for a long time. As an emperor, the most important question is how to make the country stable and keep his throne stable. Under these premises, it is other things that move forward with interests and hobbies and thoughts.

However, now Chen Xinyu didn't want to tell the specific content of these things, she nodded deeply, "In this case, please leave all this to my sister! If my sister is not at ease, I will also send these two brothers and sisters to help you, what does my sister think?"

Kong Hong's eyes glanced keenly at Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters in front of her, she hadn't looked very carefully at the magical power contained in the bodies of these two brothers and sisters, but now she felt a very wonderful aura on the bodies of these two brothers and sisters, Kong Hong's eyes were a little puzzled and threw them at Chen Xinyu beside him, Chen Xinyu smiled slightly. directly approached Kong Hong's ear and whispered two sentences.

"Oh, is this true?" Kong Hong's gaze clearly revealed a very solemn interest. If Chen Xinyu's words are true, these two brothers and sisters are really rare talents.

"This is naturally true, when did my sister deceive my sister?" Chen Xinyu stretched out his palm, clenched Kong Hong's wine bottle, and said to the two brothers and sisters in front of him, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan: "I don't know, what do you two think now?" Do you have any questions or objections?"

At this point, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, had no choice, they knew that since Chen Xinyu had already said this, he would not regret it. The two brothers and sisters didn't want to care about the war situation in the south anyway, and Xia Liuli and Lu Deng expected that the situation would not be unexpected.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, arched their hands and said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty has an order, we will naturally obey it." I just don't know, when are we going to go?"
