The next moment.

The lord of Xijon only felt that his neck was torn apart.

Then he fell to the ground and lost his life.

The dignified lord of Xirong, the king of a country, was killed in the palace.

"Let's go. ”

At this time, Flame Spirit Ji's heart-stirring voice suddenly came from the door of the hall.

Cao Zhengchun didn't say a word, then lifted the head of the lord of Xirong and turned to leave.

The Dongfang Sect Master's eyes were cold, and he swept through the main hall, and after finding that there was nothing missing, he walked towards the entrance of the hall.

Wherever the Flame Spirit Ji passed, the flames automatically opened to both sides, forming an empty path.

Under the guidance of Flame Spirit Ji, the figures of the three disappeared into the raging flames.

"Oh no, the palace is on fire!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

After the three of them left, exclamations and roars quickly filled the entire Xijon Palace.

At this time, it was outside Xingqing City.

A figure dressed in women's clothing was fleeing frantically.

After fleeing a hundred miles outside Xingqing City, the figure stopped.

A heavy sigh of relief.

The figure takes off her women's clothes.

But it was the Tubo national teacher, Gu Mokong.

He glanced in the direction of the smoke-filled Xirong Palace, and a look of apprehension appeared on his face.

"It's horrible!"

Gu Mokong took a deep breath, "I didn't expect that under the command of the Great Song Emperor, there would be such a master, especially that woman, her strength is too terrifying, it is simply the fire god Zhu Rong descended into the world." ”

His eyes flickered violently, "This matter must be reported to my Tubo lord immediately, so that the lord of the country can make plans early!"

With that, his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared in place.

......

Jinling City, Imperial Palace.

Inside the Daqing Palace.

Zhao Lin sat on the throne of the dragon chair.

is dealing with government affairs.

Regarding the matter of the three of Flame Spirit Ji going to Xirong, Zhao Lin did not have any worries.

In his opinion, the three of Flame Spirit Ji will definitely be able to complete the task and come back to see him with the head of the Lord of Xirong.

【Ding!】

At this moment, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in my head.

[Open system mission: Faith points reach 30 million.] 】

[Reward: 1 God and Demon Summoning Card.] 】

Zhao Lin saw the system task.

As he gradually destroys the kingdoms and expands his territory, he will surely have more and more people.

As long as these people believe in him as the emperor, then their faith will definitely increase.

It shouldn't be too far away from the next summoning.

At this moment, a eunuch walked in and reported to Zhao Linyu: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu asks to see you." ”

"Ministry of Justice?"

Zhao Lin's expression was slightly surprised.

Last time, he told the Ministry of Industry that the treasury allocated two million taels of silver to establish a gunpowder workshop and specialize in gunpowder technology.

Now, when the Ministry of Industry Shangshu came, it should be that there has been progress in the research of gunpowder.

"Xuan. ”

Zhao Lin nodded.

Soon.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu walked into the Daqing Hall with an excited face.

"I've seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu made a great salute to Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin looked at the Ministry of Works, but the corners of his mouth lifted a curvature, "Aiqing looks in a good mood today." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked the old minister to establish a gunpowder workshop and specialize in gunpowder technology, and the minister has made a breakthrough!"

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said loudly.

"Oh?"

Zhao Lin listened to the words of the Ministry of Industry, and immediately became interested: "What is the breakthrough?"

"Your Majesty, please see. ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu carefully took out a box and handed it to Zhao Lin, and then opened the box, and in it, there was a bamboo pipe.

This is a bamboo pipe, about half a meter long, and the end of the bamboo pipe has a lead, which is obviously used for detonation.

"It's a bit of that. ”

Zhao Lin picked up the bamboo tube, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Majesty only needs to ignite the fuse, and this bamboo tube can fire a projectile and shoot at the enemy. ”

Gongbu Shangshu smiled, looking extremely confident, "If it hits, it can penetrate the armor, cause an explosion, and injure the enemy a hundred paces away, which is far more powerful than a bow and arrow." ”

This thing, but he gathered all the relevant craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and studied it day and night before he developed such a thing.

"Well done. ”

Zhao Lin nodded, and then he asked the eunuch to fetch the candle flame and came outside the main hall.

Zhao Lin lit the fuse and fired a projectile at a wooden wall.

Boom!

The projectile was shot out of the chamber and exploded abruptly on the wooden wall, leaving a scorch mark in an instant.

"It seems to be a little less powerful. ”

Zhao Lin came to the wooden wall, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, although the power of this thing is still small, as long as the minister is given time, the minister will definitely be able to greatly increase its power. ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu hurriedly said.

"I believe in you. ”

Zhao Lin nodded, but he didn't blame the Ministry of Works.

Because he knew very well that with the knowledge of the ancients, it was already very good to be able to do this.

It was only after seeing the power of modern firearms that he felt that the power of this firearm was too small.

"What's your name?"

Zhao Lin asked.

"This thing has not yet been named, so please give it a name to Your Majesty. ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was very respectful and authentic.

"It's called a firebolt. ”

Zhao Lin said without thinking.

Although this thing is still 108,000 miles away from the power of the firebolt, it is still a prototype.

As long as it is improved, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

"I have two suggestions for you, and you follow these two suggestions and go back and improve. ”

Zhao Lin put the bamboo-tube firearm back into the wooden box and handed it back to the Ministry of Works.

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

The Ministry of Industry is still listening.

"First, in addition to its power, the accuracy of this firearm is not enough, if it can increase the crosshair on top of the gun, it must be a qualitative improvement. ”

"Second, if the metal casting is used instead of bamboo pipes, the weight of gunpowder and the caliber of the gunpowder are increased, supplemented by wheels, and more powerful firearms can be produced. ”

Zhao Lin explained to the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu's eyes showed a different color, but there were still many puzzles on his face.

Obviously, just listening to Zhao Lin's description was not enough for him to fully understand.

"In this way, I will draw you a sketch so that you can understand it. ”

Zhao Lin's eyes moved slightly, and then he called the eunuch to bring paper and pen.

Although he is not good at painting, it can even be said that he is miserable in this regard.

But he still tried his best to give the Ministry of Works, and drew his ideal appearance of firecrackers and artillery.

However, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu held this crooked painting, but regarded it as a treasure, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"I see!"

"So it can be like this!"

The Ministry of Industry's eyes lit up, as if the mouth was suddenly opened.

Seeing the appearance of the Ministry of Works, Zhao Lin was also slightly relieved.

It seems that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu understood his soul painting.

That's good.

Save him any more tongues.
