"This dog emperor, I won't let him succeed." Qin Li gritted his teeth, "For the past few days, you can stay here with confidence, I won't let anyone take you away." But for the sake of the safety of everyone in my Qin family, I can't let you go for the time being. ”

Shen Mo was not abused here, but because Qin Li remembered the old friendship, he took care of him a lot, and provided him with good food and drink.

There is Song Zhi's scheming commander leading the army outside, and there will be no chaos in the future.

Shen Mo immediately clenched his fists and thanked him.

"Thank you, General Qin, for your great kindness. I wonder what you're going to do next? ”

Qin Li had already held his back and left, and he didn't have any scruples when he spoke.

"Of course, we must first find a way to bring the family out, and wait for people to get out of the dog emperor's surveillance, so that it is convenient for Lao Tzu to rebel, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

There are no real available generals in the imperial court, only Qin Li is still a person who has really led troops to fight, so the old emperor is not only afraid of him, but also really needs him, so he does not dare to kill the only person who can be used at this moment of crisis.

Under the advice of the strategists, Qin Li actually relied on the old emperor's helplessness to him, and really kept the silence for the time being.

It was a little difficult to rescue the Qin family, so he could only arrange people to meet him in full swing.

He himself, standing at the city gate to negotiate with Zuo Chengyi on the surface, did not forget to imply that the artillery had been tampered with.

Zuo Chengyi's side, when he didn't receive a safety signal from his younger brother that night, he knew that something must have happened to him.

While looking for trusted cronies and preparing to secretly meet the rescue, he was in full swing to urge the artillery to be transported as soon as possible.

But at this time, he received Qin Li's hint and knew that his younger brother was temporarily fine, and he also learned that the artillery had been tampered with.

The younger brother was in the city, and now that the gate of the capital had been completely closed, he was not sure if Qin Li had lied to him.

However, the artillery has been urgently transported to the open space on the outskirts of the city, so you can try it first to determine the authenticity of Qin Li's words.

"This artillery, I'm going to test fire it myself." Zuo Chengyi's expression was resolute, but he was not just brave as a horseman, "Come on, bring those two foreign hostages, and let them operate it personally." ”

After arresting those two people for so long, he found out their identities very clearly, and even as representatives of the envoys this time, they didn't just come to Dazhou to contact friendship or experience customs.

Those two people, on behalf of their respective families, tried to use advanced military equipment and weapons to secretly investigate the possibility of going to the ocean to capture the Great Zhou.

The two of them are the heirs of their respective families, and it is impossible for them not to operate their own equipment and weapons.

Especially the outsiders of the artillery family, they must be proficient in operating artillery.

If the artillery is really tampered with, then the two of them should wait for the first one to be counterattacked.

Zuo Chengyi knew in his heart that even if his younger brother's side was temporarily safe, he would definitely not be able to last a few days.

So, he quickly took people to the outskirts of the city.

"Let's test shoot." He commanded the two men in a foreign language.

The two outsiders, from the first time they came to Da Zhou, were unseen in their eyes, and they were already tortured and exhausted at this time.

When they saw the tall and mighty cannon, their eyes finally brightened.

However, when I think of such an expensive and confidential weapon, I must have to give it to outsiders, and I must be very difficult to accept.

The knife was on the neck, and they had no choice, and there was no room for negotiation.

"I'll take a look." One of them can be regarded as admitted.

He walked to the artillery and saw that it was his own native who was in charge of teaching artillery operation, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

After chatting briefly with the operator about the domestic situation, seeing that the man had been giving him a look, and hinting at him from time to time to look at the artillery, he had a little guess in his heart.

But Zuo Chengyi has always been by his side, and the foreigner knows very well that Zuo Chengyi can speak and understand his own language, so he hinted to the operator again, silently reminding him not to talk much.

"Not to start yet?" Zuo Chengyi didn't hear the two of them say about artillery, so he ordered the two of them to get started, "Where you stand, I will stand, if there is a problem with the artillery, I don't mind dying with you." ”

The Waiyi operator was stunned, and then he operated at the key point of the artillery like a nobody.

However, his fleeting stunned look did not escape Zuo Chengyi's eyes.

Zuo Chengyi didn't dare to be distracted at all, and carefully observed every operation step.

"Alright." The Waiyi hostages nodded to Zuo Chengyi, "It's time to fire, in which direction to shoot?" ”

The land is empty, the field of vision is very wide, because it is so desolate that there is no grass, so there are no people to live in, and there are no crops to cultivate.

Within a radius of several miles, you can fire and test fire at any time.

"Shoot over there." Zuo Chengyi pointed to a boulder a hundred meters away.

Until this time, Zuo Chengyi had not seen the power of the artillery with his own eyes, and he did not know its range, let alone its lethality.

"Shoot as far as you can." He added.

Zuo Chengyi came this time and only brought hundreds of people with him.

There are generals, strategists, literati, and other usable people who are interested in cultivating, and even specially invited the Ministry of Works' scholars and skilled craftsmen who have escaped.

Together with these future pillars of the nation, he came to see the power of this never-before-seen artillery.

Sure enough, everyone had doubts.

"This bulky guy can shoot a boulder a hundred meters away?" The literati were the first to ask.

"What is this? It is not difficult for our ordinary soldiers to draw bows and shoot arrows, twenty or thirty kilometers away. We, Major General Xiao, shot an arrow more than a hundred zhang away. There was a military general who was not surprised by this range, but he had doubts about the power, "Even if it can be shot at a stone, after such a long distance, the arrow power is insufficient, so it is impossible to have any damage to the stone, right?" ”

Zuo Chengyi was also puzzled, but he didn't say anything, so he pointed in the direction of the boulder again.

"Just go in that direction and shoot as far as you can."

Zuo Chengyi fearlessly stood between the Waiyi hostages and the Waiyi operators, and there was a posture in which the artillery moved his hands and feet, and he died with the Waiyi people.

The two outsiders looked at each other, nodded their heads, and finally completed the last step.

I saw that something that looked like a fireball, shooting towards the boulder at a speed that exceeded everyone's expectations.

Zuo Chengyi's heart was very tight.

This mysterious weapon, which only existed in the secret report he received and in Su Ying's mouth, was finally about to show its power under his nose.

Now, his mind is full of only one thought.

"Is it really as powerful as Su Ying described?"
