Chapter 1092 No Progress for Many Years?
Around this seemingly huge mansion, but in fact a large cage, many soldiers in armor and sharp armor were guarding everywhere, especially on the upper barrier, and dozens of crossbowmen were condescending, staring at all possible threats.
At this time, seeing that Sun Ning and his party of more than a dozen people came directly without the slightest hesitation and evasion, the dozens of bows and crossbows quickly took aim. As long as there is something wrong, it will be a random burst of arrows, and the result of the enemy shooting on the spot.
And the soldiers in front of the fort also quickly raised their spears, their swords were unsheathed, and they were ready to shoot at any time, and only one person who looked like an officer stepped forward with a sword on his waist and a little vigilance: "Who are you?" It can be known that this is the forbidden place of Jinguan City, and idlers are not allowed to approach ......"
Sun Ning didn't come forward, Yang Xuan on the side had already stepped forward first, showing an identity waist card: "Lord Wuyi Sining came to check on the Tang Sect prisoner here by order, open the door quickly, let me wait to enter." Then let the chief officer here come and see your lordship. ”
After these years of development and meritorious service, Wuyisi's reputation under the rule of the Dayue Imperial Court has been quite large.
Even in the land of Sichuan and Shu, the officials and people under the rule of the imperial court were also in awe of this yamen, and those military generals were all shocked when they heard this, and put down their weapons, and the officer hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I don't know if the business is coming, I have offended, and I hope to forgive me." But ......"
Before he could say anything, Yang Xuan had already raised his hand and threw the token over, allowing him to look at it.
It is naturally easier for Sun Ning to show himself as an official in the Wuyi Division, whether it is to go to Langzhou before or to return to Jinguan City, the token that can prove his identity is fake.
Coupled with the bearing he exuded when he sat on the horse, these soldiers did not dare to have the slightest doubt, and after checking that the token was correct, they hurriedly confessed, let them debut, and let them enter Wubao smoothly.
And when they entered the gate of the fortress, a number of officers in armor hurriedly greeted the general, and the person in front of the head smiled and saluted with a fist from a distance: "I don't know if Lord Ning is coming, the next official Qiao Qiushan, if you miss the welcome, please forgive me." ”
Sun Ning also smiled and returned the salute: "It's easy to say." Everyone is running errands for the imperial court, and Lord Qiao doesn't have to be so outside. ”
The people here are not important figures in the imperial court, and they have never met Sun Ning, so it is naturally impossible to recognize his true identity at this time.
However, they also saw from his bearing that this "Lord Ning" was very unusual, and he must be a person with high authority in the Wuyi Division, so he naturally did not dare to slack off. not only deliberately rushed to the door to greet them, but also politely accompanied them all the way to the middle hall of the first mansion in Wubao, letting Sun Ning sit at the top and accompany him below.
It wasn't until a few words of greeting and a little closer to the relationship between the two sides that Qiao Qiushan asked tentatively: "Dare to ask this lord, is there any meaning for the imperial court to let you come to check on these Tang family prisoners?" ”
"It's nothing, first, Your Majesty thinks of them a little and wants to see if they can settle down here. The second is that it has been ten years since the imperial court made them guilty and meritorious deeds, but I don't know how they have done? ”
Sun Ning smiled and said what he meant, this is also the real purpose of his rush to Jinguan City this time.
Tang Fengxing stabbed him, in addition to causing him some injuries and fright, it really had another effect, that is, it reminded him that there was still this group of people in the Tang Sect who had been doing things for him for many years.
It is said that after destroying the entire Tang Sect, Sun Ning did not really kill all of their entire clan, but left a group of usable people.
These people were the talents who developed and developed various hidden weapon poisons and mechanisms for the Tang Sect at the beginning, and Tang Shouheng, the backbone of the Tang Sect's inner hall, was the main one.
As a traverser, Sun Ning knew too well how important weapons, especially sharp firearms, were for future battles.
In the previous Dayue world, there were many people who saw these weapons, and it was not until they raided the old nest of the Tang Sect that day that they found some related things from their warehouses, some of which were still under development.
In this regard, Sun Ningden was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, and immediately decided to leave these people in the Tang Sect to do things for himself, and developed firearms that could be used for battlefield fighting.
However, this was also an extremely difficult thing for the remnants of the Tang Sect, because Sun Ning's request was quite different from the weapons they had studied in the past.
In the past, what the Tang Sect wanted was a sharp weapon to kill the enemy in the rivers and lakes, focusing on change and suddenness, and the lethality was only one or two people in front of them.
But what Sun Ning wanted was a weapon that could mass-kill the enemy in front of him, and it was best to add gunpowder that was not used much, and the development process naturally became extremely long.
It was also because he understood the difficulty of this leap, so Sun Ning did not make it too difficult for them and did not set any time limit for them. Even later, I simply forgot about it.
If it weren't for Tang Feng's assassination this time, maybe it would be a few more years, or if the Tang Sect prisoner took the initiative to report it, he would have remembered this arrangement.
It is precisely because the imperial court has been ignoring this criminal prisoner for many years that this time Sun Ning and their arrival made Qiao Qiushan and the others a little surprised, and they all seemed a little stumbling when they answered at this time: "Thanks to the prestige of the imperial court, Your Majesty Shengming, these criminal prisoners have been quite safe for several years, and they have not made any misdeeds."
"As for what the court asked them to do in the first place...... At the moment, there is not much of a clue yet. ”
Sun Ning frowned slightly, although he didn't have too much hope, but this time he came deliberately, he still wanted to see some results.
But now it's good that it's such an answer.
Could it be that the idea of wanting to make a batch of firearms to be used on the battlefield earlier could not be realized after all?
However, this matter could not be blamed on the few guards in front of him, so he sighed: "That's it." Then bring that Tang Shouheng and let the official ask him. ”
Maybe put some pressure on the other party, let him know that he can continue to live because he still has use value, and if he doesn't come up with something, he will have to follow in the footsteps of his own people, and he will give a better result.
"This ......" Qiao Qiushan suddenly became a little embarrassed and groaned.
"What, what's the problem?" Sun Ning glanced at him, and a trace of doubt suddenly appeared in his heart.
"No, no problem. It's just that it's too late today, Lord Ning, you have come from afar, and you are tired when you think about it. Xia Guan also asked people to prepare the wine and food for washing the dust, why don't we eat and rest for a night first, and then talk about business? ”
Qiao Qiushan's reaction fell into Sun Ning's eyes, which made him feel a little strange in it, but then, he still nodded: "Guests are as they please, then we will be disrespectful." ”
