Jinling City, Imperial Palace.

Inside the Daqing Palace.

After Zhao Lin finished dealing with it and walking, he opened the news that Xiongba asked Dongchang to pass back.

In the news, Xiongba reported that one of the six realms of the Demon Gate, the Dao of Extermination, had been destroyed by him.

Next, the Xiongba will establish the World Association on the site of this Emotion-Destroying Dao.

Moreover, Xiongba also accepted two satisfactory disciples.

Nie Jingfeng and Gu Tianyun.

Assist in the fight to conquer the Central Plains martial arts together, and lay down the iron bucket country.

"Fengyun?"

When Zhao Lin saw the names of the two disciples of Xiongba, he couldn't help but fall into a deep groan.

As the saying goes, success is also stormy, and defeat is also stormy.

However, with Zhao Lin here, it is naturally impossible to let the male tyrant fall into the hands of the storm.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Xiongba had already gained a foothold in the Central Plains martial arts.

Sure enough, it didn't disappoint him.

If this continues, the conquest of the Central Plains martial arts should be just around the corner.

Zhao Lin is looking forward to Xiongba's next move.

【Ding!】

Suddenly, the voice of the system rang in my head.

[Open the system task: Reach 50 million faith points.] 】

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

Zhao Lin saw the new tasks released by the system.

In this mission, you need to increase your faith to 50 million.

The span is not small.

In order to accomplish this task, I am afraid that we will have to further expand the territory.

Zhao Lin's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of fierceness.

This year, the tax revenue of the household department reached a full 98 million taels of silver.

Even if you remove the necessary expenses, you can still be half rich.

Used in the military.

It can be said that there is plenty of money and food.

This made Zhao Lin high-spirited.

It has been a while since the Xirong Kingdom was pacified.

The various problems left over from the Xijon State have basically been dealt with almost completely.

The national policy of "first the south and then the north" set at the beginning can undoubtedly enter the second stage.

The first stage was the pacification of the south.

The second stage is the Central Plains of Beiding.

Zhao Lin's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu asks to see you. ”

At this moment, the voice of the eunuch suddenly came in.

"Xuan!"

Zhao Lin waved his hand.

Later, the Ministry of Shoshu entered the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the artillery has been developed, and Wechen wants to ask His Majesty to go to the suburbs with his ministers to check the power of the artillery. ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was overjoyed and bowed down to report.

There are many people in Jinling City, and lighting the cannon will cause earth-shattering power, so the Ministry of Industry Shangshu placed the test site outside the city.

"Oh?"

Zhao Lin's eyes lit up slightly.

In the war, the role of artillery may be slightly stronger than that of firearms, and the Ministry of Industry was able to successfully develop artillery at this time.

It is undoubtedly good news for Zhao Lin's grand plan.

Zhao Lin immediately got up and looked at the Ministry of Works, "Let's go, I have to see the power of this artillery." ”

"Your Majesty, please come with your ministers. ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu walked out of the Daqing Palace.

Zhao Lin followed behind him.

......

Palace.

The main entrance opens.

Zhao Lin was dressed in civilian clothes, took Cao Zhengchun, and left the palace with the Ministry of Works.

At this time, Zhao Lin was dressed as a noble son, while Cao Zhengchun and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry were disguised as Zhao Lin's slaves, and the three of them quickly rode away from the palace.

Cao Zhengchun's gaze was gloomy, staring at his surroundings like an eagle falcon, paying attention to any suspicious movements.

The three of them seemed to have no guards on their side.

But in fact, the factory guards of the Dongchang Factory, and the masters of the forbidden army, had already blended into the ordinary people in civilian clothes, closely monitoring the emperor's every move within a hundred meters.

It can be said that once someone makes a move, it will inevitably be known to them.

On the streets, all kinds of people are busy.

There are those who sell cut cakes.

There are those who sell sugar gourds.

There are also those who sell cooking cakes.

It's quite lively.

For Zhao Lin, who has almost never been out of the palace, it is quite a novelty.

Therefore, Zhao Lin deliberately slowed down his horse and looked around.

"This son, do you want to have a baked cake? My family's eldest man baked cake, that is famous far and wide......"

A short vendor selling baked cakes, seeing that Zhao Lin was extraordinary, immediately walked up and wanted to sell his own baked cakes to Zhao Lin.

It's just that before the vendor got close, he was pulled by the neck by two plainclothes factory guards and pulled away directly.

The vendors who sold the pancakes were dragged into the secluded alleys before they even had time to call for help.

"Don't hurt the people by mistake. ”

Zhao Lin naturally saw this scene and commanded Cao Zhengchun.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty. ”

Cao Zhengchun smiled.

In his opinion, the seller of baked cakes walked directly to Zhao Lin, and he was very suspicious, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he would arrest him first.

Dongchang has always been willing to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let go of one.

If the person who bought the baked cakes was really innocent, Dongchang would not do anything to him.

After a while, the dwarf vendor stepped out of the alley.

His face was pale, and there was still a hint of horror in the corners of his eyes.

"Uncle, keep selling your baked cakes. ”

Zhao Lin smiled at the dwarf trader, and then stopped staying in the downtown area, spurred his horse, and hurried out of the city.

"I don't know, this son, which noble person in the palace is ......"

The dwarf vendor muttered to himself.

Although I don't know what Zhao Lin's identity is.

But he can already be sure that Zhao Lin must be a big man!

......

Outside Jinling City.

In the middle of nowhere.

There was no one nearby.

Even if there were, it had already been evacuated by the Ministry of Works.

This is the gunpowder test area.

First, artillery was the important weapon of the Great Song Dynasty and a state secret, so it naturally could not be known by ordinary people.

Second, I am afraid that innocent passers-by will be injured by mistake.

After repeated investigations, it was determined that there was no danger in this area, so Cao Zhengchun personally escorted Zhao Lin into it.

Gongbu Shangshu clapped his hands.

Later, two soldiers from the Ministry of Engineering came over with a cannon.

Behind the cannon was a dark-skinned craftsman.

"I've seen Your Majesty. ”

The swarthy craftsman hurriedly saluted Zhao Lin.

"You're Song Zhong?"

Zhao Lin's eyes froze slightly.

He knew that the development of gunpowder was mainly presided over by the person in front of him.

This person, in this way, can be called a genius.

"It's Wechen. ”

Song Zhongcheng was terrified.

"The pillars of the country have a bright future. ”

Zhao Lin smiled and patted Song Zhong on the shoulder, making Song Zhong flattered.

He is just a mere craftsman, how can he be worthy of the four words of the pillar of the country?

"Your Majesty, the power of this cannon is huge, please stay away from this thing to avoid accidents. ”

Song Zhong said cautiously.

"Good. ”

Zhao Lin took a few steps back.

Cao Zhengchun's eyes glanced at the artillery, but he was a little unimpressed.

How powerful can such a black and ugly thing be?

No matter how powerful it is, is it difficult to pose a threat to a powerhouse at the level of a great grandmaster like him?

"Reload!"

"Ignition!"

After Zhao Lin retreated, Song Zhong immediately ordered the two soldiers.
