[451] Take refuge

In the Nine Shadows Workshop under the Green Mountain, there was a constant sound of clanging iron, as well as the sound of the bellows hula and hula.

The craftsmen did not stop their work because of Xiao Shizhu's arrival, they continued to perform their own duties and busy their own work.

"It has a fast rate of fire and a long range, like a falling meteor, so it was given this name. Inbecause paused, and continued.

"How far can you hit the maximum range?" Xiao Shizhu bowed his head slightly, and slowly circled around the cannon that looked like an iron box.

"Because the artillery's sub-gun uses the second-stage rocket technology of the fire dragon out of the water, it can hit twelve miles. Because he stood aside with his hands down, he continued to explain to Xiao Shizhu: "And you can fire ten Zigong at a time, and then reload it quickly, as long as you put Ziqiu in the artillery." ”。

With that, she pointed to the arquebus at the end of the cannon. Signaling Xiao Shizhu, as long as he pulls the fire rope, he can fire ten cannons in unison.

Hearing this, Xiao Shizhu already roughly understood that she had made this kind of artillery because she combined the technology of a swarm of bees and the water of the fire dragon.

So he stretched out his hand, stroked the cold back of the cannon, and slowly asked, "Have you done a combat test?"

"The day before yesterday it had been tested many times, and the artillery had no defects, and there would be no explosions. Because of this, he strode to the right side of the cannon and turned the iron turntable on the cannon.

With a creaking sound, the front end of the square tin box on the body tilted obliquely. Xiao Shizhu, who was originally calm, immediately showed a little excitement and joy on his face.

It turns out that the barrel of this cannon can still be adjusted at an angle.

"In this way, even the enemy flying in the air can hit it, which means that the cannon can also be used for air defense. "It wasn't until the gun carriage, when the iron box-like gun body was almost completely erected, that the movement of the turntable was stopped.

"You're really a ghost!" In the excitement, Xiao Shizhu praised the reason for the reason, patted the body of the falling star cannon with his hand, and said with great interest: "Pull it out and find a target to call me." ”。

"No. After answering the sound, he asked the craftsmen to load the guns and push the falling star cannon out.

Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother followed the craftsmen who were pushing the Falling Star Cannon, and came to the south of this armory prison. There, there was already a flying car waiting.

At the end of the flying car, a long rope is hung. At the end of the rope, a huge wooden box is tied, which is square in shape, and its length, width and height are one zhang.

After Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother stood still, after shouting because of the reason to start, the flying car flew into the sky with the huge wooden box.

The craftsmen on the ground had already raised the muzzle of the Falling Star Cannon and aimed it at the sky.

When the flying car flew into the clouds and became smaller, and even the wooden box that it lifted became smaller and smaller, because he personally operated the falling star cannon, he aimed at the wooden box hanging from the flying car.

When everything was ready, she pulled the firing rope with all her might, and the firing pin in the gun engine slammed into the gun inside.

Immediately after that, the green smoke from the muzzle of the cannon rose, and ten guns with fire broke through the air and roared towards the wooden box hanging by the flying car in the air. In an instant, the crate was wrapped in explosions and flames.

In the deafening explosion, waves of fire swirled across the sky, and the crimson dazzling light flame spread out quickly under the clouds, like the furious tide of the sea in a violent wind, wave after wave, quickly burning out the surrounding air.

The wooden box, which had already been turned into a fiery powder in the explosion, bloomed in the air like a blooming flower with the flames and flying shrapnel, reflecting the gray sky red.

The power is amazing and the explosion range is wide, which makes Xiao Shizhu, a human soul who has seen many modern war videos in the world, a little dumbfounded.

Compared to the underworld, which is a backward world, the Falling Star Cannon is definitely a big killer.

After a long time, after the flames in the air dissipated, Xiao Shizhu came to his senses.

"Bang! Bang!" He stroked his palm three times in succession, then turned his head to the slightly proud Yin Yinhe and said, "Immediately promote it to all ordnance supervisors and start to put it into production on a large scale." ”。

"No. Because he put down the rope in his hand, he bowed and came down......

A carriage flying the military flag of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and galloping on the official road was heading from north to south, heading towards Yuque City, which stood on the endless plain.

Hai Quan, who was sitting in the car, lifted the curtains and looked out of the car window curiously.

Along the way, the wealth and strength of the Nine Shadows Country were fully seen by the sea, and everything he saw was new to the sea.

Not only is there the prosperity and strength of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but even this spacious and flat official road that extends in all directions is not easy to see in the Six Heavenly Continents under the jurisdiction of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

And the tunnels that cross the mountainside, and the canals that crisscross the roadside, are dazzling.

It is precisely because of these advanced facilities that the transportation of the Nine Shadows Country is developed, and the sergeants can quickly maneuver to any point in the country. Coupled with advanced firearms and an air force with rich combat experience, the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is invincible.

The carriage went straight to the north gate of Yuque City and stopped, and the two cavalrymen who were guarding the carriage showed the officer guarding the city gate the handwritten document of Ying Zhao, and the officer ordered the soldiers to be square.

After the car entered the city, the rows of houses, tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butchers and other shops in the city, as well as the street vendors who hung the front of the door and solicited business on both sides of the road, the street market was full of ghosts and all kinds of ghosts, and the caravans shuttling in it, all made the sea exhausted even more overwhelming.

Even if it is a lively capital city, the loyalty of the underworld is nothing more than that.

Hai couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that in addition to Xudu, there is such a rich and prosperous place in the underworld. ”。

"Little ghost, how is our ghost country?" The sergeant who was driving the car deliberately slowed down the speed of advancing a little, so that the sea in the car behind him could be exhausted, and the excitement in Yuque City could be seen in a real way.

"It's really lively and very prosperous. After nodding his head, Hai Qian said to the sergeant who was driving the car: "As early as when I was in Xudu, I heard him mention in private that the ghost city Yuque is far better than the ghost city of Xudu. At that time, I was a frog at the bottom of the well and did not believe it, but now I see it and realize that it is true. ”。

"Haha. The sergeant who was driving the car smiled heartily and drove towards the Yuque Palace.

In front of the palace gate, he handed over the sea to the forbidden army, and after bidding farewell to him, the sergeants who escorted the cavalry and the driving car, turned back along the road they came.

And the sea exhaustion was led by the soldiers of the forbidden army, heading towards the deep palace.

The soldiers led him through the majestic jade buildings, and after walking for a long time, they came to the gate of a palace that sat north and faced south.

Raising his eyes, he saw that on the palace gate carved by jadeite, there was a plaque carved from Huanglongyu, and there were three vigorous and powerful characters of "Moon Wall Palace" written on it.

After explaining his intentions, the sergeant handed over the sea to the palace guards and left on his own. And the sea exhaustion was brought into the palace by this palace person, and came to the garden that sits in the north and faces the south, faces nine wide corridors and enters three deep rooms, and has a topaz and jade tile in front of the top of the palace.

"Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Lai, the sea is exhausted. After the palace man stood at the door of the hall in front of him, he shouted to the hall.

Hai exhausted a moment of curiosity, the palace slaves he had seen in the past had all pinched their throats and spoke, just because they had been castrated. But the palace man in front of him spoke in a round and neutral manner, not at all like a castrated ghost, so he couldn't help but wonder when he muttered to himself: "Isn't it cut clean?"

After a long time, Hai Qian learned that the Nine Shadows Kingdom had already abolished the system of castrating palace slaves, and for the sake of fairness, the Nine Shadows Kingdom did not use the word slave for the male ghosts in the palace, but the palace people or palace ghosts.

"Let him in. Immediately, a female voice came from the hall, and the palace people turned sideways and asked Hai to go in by himself.

Still a little dazed, he slowly walked forward, stepped over the high threshold and walked into the hall. I can only see that the indoor beam frame is simple but the structure is rigorous, but the materials are excellent, and the component processing is also very exquisite.

There are four bookcases on the main hall, which are piled up with all kinds of drawings, drawing tools, measuring tools, etc., and it does not look like a prince's side room at all, but like a workshop.

As the saying goes, seeing things and thinking about people, this reminds Hai of his father's study. Just like the main hall, there are drawings and designs of various items and all kinds of tools.

A young female ghost dressed in a gorgeous costume was sitting behind the bookcase full of drawings in the deepest part, and when she saw Hai Qian standing still in front of her, the woman first raised her head and looked at Hai Quan.

This female ghost is none other than Lai Yueqi. Many years ago, she had a relationship with Hai Quan, and now she still vaguely feels the appearance of the other party. Just after looking up and down a few times, she immediately recognized that the male ghost on the opposite side was Hai Quan, and immediately opened her mouth to call: "Xiaohai." ”。

And Hai Qian also recognized her, and immediately bent his knees in tears and knelt in front of Lai Yueqi.

"Aunt Lai, leave me a letter before my father's soul is gone, so that I can come to you to seek refuge in you, so as to avoid the pursuit of the Northern Yin Dynasty. As he spoke, he took out a crumpled letter from his bosom and held it above his head with both hands.

"Chase?" Lai Yueqi stood up suddenly, stared blankly at the front of her and sobbed for a moment, before she bypassed the bookcase and walked to the opposite side, picked it up and took the letter, and comforted the other party softly: "Don't worry, you say it slowly." ”。

After finishing speaking, Yang Fengfeng, the personal guard on the side, said: "Go and let the palace maid serve tea, and there is a fruit plate of snacks." ”。

Yang Fengfeng nodded his fat head with big ears, and shook his bloated body towards the outside of the hall.

"Yes, my father wrote in the letter that if he dies, I will come to you immediately. After wiping the snot and tears on his face with his cuffs, Hai Duan said slowly: "About half a year ago, the Beiyin Dynasty began to rebuild the calf pass. Zong Tian, the newly arrived general of Baoqian Pass, posted a recruitment order to recruit ghosts, and his father enlisted in Baoqian Pass and sold them the fire dragon gun that was still in the development stage. ”。

"It's still in the development stage? How do you say that?" Lai Yueqi couldn't help but interject and ask when she heard this.

"Although the dragon gun invented by my father is very powerful, when about 20 rounds of fire are fired in a row, it will explode. After briefly explaining to Lai Yueqi, Hai Qian continued: "Before leaving, my father left this letter; he could not believe in the Beiyin Dynasty, saying that the day when the fire dragon gun was sold to the Beiyin Dynasty must be the time when he was unloaded and killed a donkey. Tell me that if he dies in the calf pass, and a sergeant comes to inform me that he was assassinated, then come to you with this letter and come to your aunt. ”。

Lai Yueqi's eyes widened, looking at the sad Hai Quan, her eyes showed an incredible color, and after opening her mouth for a long time, she asked in a daze: "So, your father Hai Lao Weng died in the calf pass? Didn't he die because he drank too much at home?"

As soon as the words fell, Hai exhausted his head and shook his head a little heavier, and Lai Yueqi suddenly felt like he had been hit by five thunderbolts, and when his ears were buzzing, his mind was blank.
