Volume 2 Chapter 94 Miraculous Skills
This time George had the table moved farther away, and carefully aimed at it for a long time before he moved the trigger, although George hated it a little, but it did not affect his gunmanship, and after he finished firing, he raised the musket that still had the smoke of gunpowder, and the British envoys let out a cheer.
Shunzhi's face was heavier, he called Ao Bai to his side, and discussed something with him in a low voice, Ao Bai thought about it first, and then answered Shunzhi's question in a low voice, the expressions of the two were a little dignified, if it was on the battlefield, I was afraid that no matter how Shenjun's BMW, it would not be as fast as a small bullet.
Zhang Dehai looked down at the projectile in his hand again, and said softly: "Niangniang, just let the slave give it a try." ”
"Sure?" Still uneasy, I asked. Zhang Dehai said softly: "If it is this projectile, the slave is twelve points sure." "I was stunned, this projectile?
What is the meaning? I followed Zhang Dehai's gaze and stayed on the musket that was still waving in George's hand, and began to understand what he meant, I looked at him worriedly and said: "When the projectile is 'shot' out of the chamber, it will produce a huge friction force, which makes the projectile extremely hot, and it is difficult for the human 'flesh' palm to resist its heat, and the speed is extremely fast. "The reason why I say this is because people who practice martial arts have the strength to not admit defeat, especially a master like Zhang Dehai, don't look at the surface of humility, in fact, he is so arrogant in his heart, I am afraid that he will disdain to 'make' the projectile I 'handed over' to him, so I have this to say.
I said uneasily: "There is a small hole in this projectile, you have to quickly withdraw it after the performance, shake it, and you'll be done." Zhang Dehai bowed slightly: "The slave knows." At this point, I raised my voice to George, "George." Your marksmanship is truly magical. George bowed slightly to me with pride on his face, and I smiled, "But this musket doesn't seem to be as powerful as you say. George said in a loud voice: "My musket is much faster than your musket in terms of range and speed, if the projectile hits a vital place. It's sure to kill with one shot. ”
"Oh?" I pretended to be surprised and said, "Not necessarily, right? At this time, John Tang had already translated my conversation with George to Shunzhi, and Shunzhi pulled me.
Asked softly, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Don't worry." I whispered, and then said to George, "Why don't you find someone to try it and see if the projectile is really that fast." George was stunned.
Then he said in disbelief: "Use someone to test the gun? I nodded, pointed at Zhang Dehai and said, "This is the last person in our Great Qing Kingdom." I used him to test the gun. The British mission was in an uproar.
I ignored the frightened look on their faces and looked at Zhang Dehai, who nodded and rolled up his sleeves.
Walking into the arena, George looked at me with a frown: "I'm just a slave, though. But it's a pity to be killed like this, so it's better to replace it with an animal. I smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, just shoot" Although my face was extremely relaxed, but my heart almost stopped beating nervously, and Shunzhi reprimanded in a low voice: "What nonsense." ”
"It's okay, Zhang Dehai is measured." I comforted Shunzhi and comforted myself, Zhang Dehai knew that this matter was very important, and he would not agree if he was not completely sure.
What's more, it's not that he really takes the bullet, as long as he dodges George's bullet, even if it is successful.
"Wait." Seeing George raise his gun with some hesitation, I said in a loud voice, "George, why don't we make a bet." ”
"What are you going to bet on?"
"Let's bet on whether my slave can get past your guns." George was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, and he looked at me with pity, "Your Majesty, you have underestimated this musket of my audience. I chuckled: "Bet or not?" George laughed, "Bet! I hurriedly said, "If he really dodges, you will lose me five hundred muskets in your hand." George's smile froze immediately, and he pondered for a long time before he said slowly, "Then what if I hit this slave?" ”
"This ......" I couldn't really think of what to lose to him for a while.
"If it hits, the Great Qing Kingdom will lose 100,000 taels of silver!" Listening to the clear voice around me, I couldn't help but stay in place, the interpreter gave Shunzhi's words to George, George and the envoys around him discussed for a long time, and said confidently: "Okay! It's decided! I quietly took Shunji's hand and let him get the sweat from my palm, and I whispered, "I'm not sure." Shunzhi's face changed slightly, and he glared at me.
Gritted his teeth and said, "Then you didn't say it earlier." I swallowed my saliva and set my eyes on Zhang Dehai with Shunzhi, although Zhang Dehai couldn't understand English, but from Shunzhi's words, I guessed some of them, and his face was even more dignified.
George loosened his muscles and bones and carefully packed the ***, and the 'female' guests in the envoy group covered their eyes, not daring to see the blood splashed on the spot.
I and Shunzhi interlocked their hands, the sweat in it didn't know whether it was mine or his, we almost tightened our palms at the same time, Zhang Dehai's 'life', 100,000 taels of silver, and the face of the Qing Kingdom were all quite important.
Suddenly, there was silence on the field, and only the sound of his own breathing could be heard, George shouted loudly to Zhang Dehai: "Are you ready?" The little Japanese interpreter also shouted, "Are you ready?" Zhang Dehai stood with his feet fixed, his face sank into the water, he stretched out his hand to make a gesture, the interpreter next to him covered his ears and hurriedly retreated, George slowly raised the gun, and the muzzle of the black 'hole' and 'hole' was aimed at Zhang Dehai.
"Bump"! I closed my eyes in anticipation of the gunshot, and there was silence in my ears, and I carefully opened my eyes a slit, only to hear George shouting, "How is this possible!" Shunzhi let out a fierce breath and praised in a low voice: "It's really good!" The thousand pounds of boulder in my heart finally had a corner on the ground, looking into the field, Zhang Dehai stood safe and sound, I was completely relieved, and shouted to George: "George, you lost!" "George's face became a little ugly, and at this time Zhang Dehai walked back to me, I extended my thumb to him, and Zhang Dehai smiled and spread his hands.
Only then did I remember that there was still a bridge to catch the bullet, and I forgot about it so nervously just now. I looked into his hand, but I was stunned.
In the palm of his hand, two projectiles lay side by side. One of them had a small hole in it, the one I had 'handed over' to him, and the other.
There were obvious burn marks on the projectile, and I couldn't believe my eyes. He actually took the projectile in the real sense of it!
I gently lifted the projectile. There was still a trace of residual heat on the projectile, and I looked at Zhang Dehai with great admiration, he bowed slightly, and unconsciously put away the one
"Fake" projectiles. I showed the projectile to Shunzhi, and Shunzhi was also surprised. I waved my hand at George again, and George stepped forward to see what I was holding with a look of horror on his face.
I smiled and said, "Those five hundred muskets, I have to trouble the Duke to inform the king of your country as soon as possible and send them to the Qing Dynasty in time." George's face was red and white, and he pointed at Zhang Dehai and said: "Your Majesty, this person is not the last person in your country, you see, his clothes are much more expensive than other efforts." "Zhang Dehai is the person next to the Queen Mother, how can he be the same as the eunuch in the last place?
Seeing that I didn't defend myself, George said loudly: "Since it's not, the bet just now can't be counted." "I can understand George's reluctance to give away his country's advanced weapons to foreign countries, but such a blatant breach of contract still makes me despise him greatly.
I groaned, "Is it true that the last slave will admit defeat if he dodges your ground musket?" "I'm thinking about whether to let the star chase wear the clothes of a eunuch to fill up.
At this time, Shunzhi, who listened to John Tang's translation, pulled me beside me, and didn't see any movement in his mouth, but made a sound: "If you see it, you will accept it." "Uh...... As I was about to find a step down, I heard George say, "Yes, if that is the case, I will throw in the towel, but, my Majesty, I hope to reduce the bet of five hundred muskets to a hundred." I looked at Shunzhi, Shunzhi was also a little embarrassed, he probably thought about who he was going to send for a while, I quickly wrote one in his palm
The word "star", Shunzhi thought about it and nodded slightly. I said to George, "Okay, then our bet will be lowered to 10,000 taels of silver accordingly." George didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.
However, how can we make the star chase appear here in eunuch costumes? I looked at Zhang Dehai, but saw his 'lips' moving slightly, as if he was 'talking' with someone, but there was really no one around him, I saw his face twitching slightly, and the corners of his mouth were twisted, as if he was holding back a smile, and I felt a little 'hairy' in my heart, that he ...... You can't say it's evil, right?
Zhang Dehai approached me and said in a very low voice: "Niangniang, but you want to let the star chaser play?" I nodded slightly, Zhang Dehai raised a strange expression, as if thinking about something, and said after a while: "I'm afraid Lord Star Chaser is ...... now Not very convenient. It's better to choose someone else. "This ...... There are also times when men are not very convenient?
And, others? This time, I looked at Zhang Dehai weirdly, who else? Could it be said month by month? Zhang Dehai pointed behind me: "He! I looked back, and was dumbfounded, and he slowly raised his hand and pointed at himself with his index finger, and his mouth grew bigger and bigger.
"When did you come?" Lai Xi opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "The slave came with the master, and he didn't dare to disturb the pillar." I looked at Zhang Dehai and said, "This is not child's play, he has only been studying for a few months, what if he is killed by a shot?" Zhang Dehai looked at Lai Xi and said, "Have you memorized everything you have learned in the past few months?" Lai Xi nodded with a sad face, and Zhang Dehai turned to me again and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, there are minions and star chasers watching, nothing will happen." "A few of us whispered 'privately' here, which had already attracted the attention of Shunzhi and George, and Shunzhi asked in a low voice, "Things have changed?" ”
"Yes," I whispered, "let me be happy." Shunzhi glanced at Lai Xi like a ghost, and said in a low voice: "He is also sure?" When Lai Xi heard this, he was even more tearful and said: "Master, the slave ......" Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by Zhang Dehai, Lai Xi shrank his neck and whispered: "Then the slave will appear." I looked at him with some concern, but he suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, and the determined superego nodded, and then walked to the side and began to warm up.
I glanced at Zhang Dehai again, and then said to George: "Let's let this slave test the gun this time, the duke won't have any more opinions, right?" George nodded when he saw the thin Laixi, and said with some embarrassment: "Her Majesty can change to a stronger one." I smiled, "It doesn't matter, it's him." Lai Xi twisted his neck, walked to the place where Zhang Dehai was standing just now, shook the hem of his clothes quite handsomely, and his face showed a solemn 'color' that he had never seen before, George also seemed more cautious, holding the gun and aiming for a long time, but this time he no longer reminded him like he had just said, but suddenly squatted down and pulled the trigger towards Lai Xi without hesitation.
