Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 343
Chapter 346

Ever since Ran Ming was assassinated, Tianyan is also trying his best to track down the murderer, especially the assassin who obviously wears a dress, which makes Ran Ming very angry. He doesn't have a good impression of the Japanese. In later generations, he is incapable. If the martyr does something, in this time and space, he has the ability, so naturally he will not remain indifferent.

Not to mention that the assassins had Japanese people, even if they didn't, Ran Ming wouldn't make it easy for them if they found Japanese people.

After careful investigation by Tianyan, it was soon discovered that there were Japanese people haunting Baihualou.At this time, Tianyan also specially sent a few to break into Baihualou.

Ran Ming said, "What happened?"

Du Cong said: "Last night, a strong enemy broke into Baihualou. We fixed on seventeen targets, and fourteen were killed. Three of them also took advantage of the chaos and escaped the sight of Tianyan."

In fact, what Du Cong said was wrong, there should be eighteen Japanese in Baihualou, including eleven women and seven men, but Tianyan has not found Minako Yichuan so far.

"Could it be silenced?" Ran Ming wondered.

"It shouldn't be like that!" Du Cong expressed his thoughts: "If the people behind the scenes really wanted to silence them, they would definitely not take this kind of method. If the other party is not aware of the situation, kill them all, and there will be no such a big commotion. Another point is that the subordinates are strange."

Ran Ming said: "What?"

"According to the survivors in the Baihua Building where Sticky Stick is located, there are about 30 to [-] attackers in this group, and their attacks were fierce and clean. Judging from their killing methods, they should be our acquaintances."

Ran Ming asked, "Who?"

"Your Majesty is deaf and dumb." Du Cong said with a wry smile: "The leaders are General Jin and General Tie. They use the Lianbow originally developed by Jiang Zuojian. This kind of crossbow is only available to His Majesty in the world." "Deaf and dumb" is equipped with sixty experimental repeating crossbows. "

For a long time, Ran Ming felt that the Magong crossbow had a flaw, that is, it could not fire continuously. In his memory, Zhuge Liang once made a crossbow that could fire ten consecutive shots, also known as Yuanrong crossbow.

The ancestor of Ma Ying, Ma Jun, improved it and changed it into a five-arrow crossbow, which greatly reduced its size and weight and became an individual weapon. However, because the production is very complicated, the arrows used must also be It was specially made, so it was lost after it was not mass-produced.

Now that Ma Ying could make a horse male crossbow, Ran Ming told Ma Ying of this idea, and after more than a year of trial and error, Ma Ying made this kind of continuous crossbow.

Ma Ying adopted Ran Ming's bullet clip design, and changed the arrow loading method of the Zhuge Liannu arrow box using the earth's attraction to force the arrow to be wound, and changed it to a spring type.

However, although this kind of crossbow can shoot five rounds continuously, its power is too small.

The effective range is only sixty or seventy steps, and only within a distance of thirty steps can one have the strength to break through a single layer of iron armor. Even if the enemy has no armor, the effective range is only fifty steps.Even if the enemy uses ordinary armor and shields, this kind of crossbow cannot penetrate the armor, especially the bright steel armor, even if it is as close as [-] centimeters, it still cannot penetrate.

Even though Ma Ying has improved many times, the effect is still not satisfactory.

Ma Ying is going to give up this tasteless Liannu.Because the two armies are facing each other, this kind of continuous crossbow is not as effective as bow and arrow.However, as a latecomer, Ran Ming has a wider vision.

He feels that although the Martensian Crossbow cannot be used in the confrontation between the two armies, it is used as a weapon for special operations, especially when the enemy is unprepared for a sudden attack. The enemy has no armor defense and is close. Natural advantages.

In this way, the Martensian crossbow entered experimental use.

Ran Ming murmured in his heart that he had done a good job in keeping the secrets of the supervisor in place. Ran Ming adopted the assembly line production method of the later generations and split the technology. In this way, not only can the production effect be improved, but it can also be kept secret.Even if you buy one or two technical craftsmen, you will not get the core technology at all.

If you want to buy craftsmen on a large scale, it will definitely attract the attention of the supervisor.Since there is no possibility of technical leaks, it is certain that these people are the work of Ran Min's "deaf and dumb".

Ran Ming smiled wryly, but if Ran Min didn't make a move, Baihualou would be destroyed as soon as he made a move.

……

Minako Yichuan escaped from Baihualou through the secret passage, but did not go directly to the palace to seek help from Chu Suanzi.

Of course, Minako Yichuan knew that Chu Suanzi trusted her and gave herself such great power, mainly because of her ability.If she encounters something, she will do nothing but cry to her master. Minako Igawa knows that even a dog will be looked down upon by her master.

Although Baihualou, the nerve center of the shadow group, was severely hit by the enemy, these losses were not enough to completely paralyze the shadow group.

Minako Yichuan sent someone into the palace to tell Chu Suanzi that Baihualou was suddenly attacked.And she was changing clothes in the secret passage.

At dawn, the rain stopped.

Minako Yichuan dressed up as a young and handsome man and came to a pawnshop in the east of Jiankang City.Of course, at this time, there is no name for the pawnshop, just a quality shop.

It is an institution that specializes in collecting movable and immovable properties as collateral and lending money to the other party. It is an exploitative method that discounts the value of the collateral provided by the borrower, lends cash, and regularly recovers the principal and interest.

As a quality shop, a de facto institution that collects and lends usury, it can justifiably support thugs and armed personnel under its name.In order to deceive people, Baihualou's defense force is actually not strong, but there are more than a hundred peripheral members who don't know the details of Baihualou, about [-] to [-] official members, and the core civilian intelligence personnel account for the majority, so this is also in Baihualou. , The reason why Minako Igawa did not resist and retreated directly.

After all, people with normal brains would not fight hard-fought civilian intelligence personnel with real dead soldiers.

Minako Yichuan and Zhipu used a special code to connect. After confirming Minako Yichuan's identity, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop immediately and Minako respectfully led Minako Yichuan into the luxurious VIP room inside Zhipu.

Minako Igawa's expression was normal, and she couldn't see her disheveled appearance before.

Minako Ikawa is the top ninja of this era.Although the detailed loss of Baihualou has not been calculated yet, Minako Yichuan can imagine that after Baihualou is over, it will take at least half a year or even longer for the shadow team to recover their strength.

Although Minako Igawa was extremely saddened by the loss of Baihualou, she felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

However, Minako Igawa is an extremely stoic person.As a top ninja, how could she not have these psychological qualities.

At this moment, a woman in an ordinary green shirt entered the VIP room with small steps.Judging by her age, the woman in the green shirt is probably in her twenties. This woman is not tall and has an average figure, but her clothes are very decent, and her face is gentle enough to melt a stone.Not only that, but it also smells very fragrant, not the kind of pungent and domineering fragrance, but equally gentle.

"I don't know who you are, what's your business!" the woman in green shirt said with a solemn face, bowed deeply, and said in a strange tone.

"Tengyuan Kikuko is me!" Minako Ikawa said flatly.

The woman named Juzi's complexion changed, she quickly knelt on the ground, her head was almost pressed to the ground and said: "Your servant did not know that your majesty was coming, so I was far away to welcome you, please forgive me!"

Minako Yichuan said in a calm voice, "Kikuko Tenghara, call your subordinates and gather here immediately."

Minako Igawa's voice was very gentle, but it seemed to have an irresistible strength, and Chrysanthemum said respectfully: "Hayi!"

Chrysanthemum still knelt on the ground, but kept moving backwards with both knees, and after a while, she approached the door.

Only then did she get up, and majesticly said to a Japanese warrior holding a sword similar to Xiliang: "Teng Jilang, call your men immediately."

Chrysanthemum's heart was beating so hard that she didn't dare to look up.Originally, Tengyuan Juzi was not called Tengyuan Juzi, but Juzi.She doesn't have a surname, only a first name, and there are not [-] women named Juzi in Japan, at least [-].She is of untouchable origin and does not deserve a surname.In fact, in Japan, surnames are the privilege of nobles. Only nobles have surnames. Fujiwara, Hira, and Oda are almost all Japanese nobles with these surnames. Non-nobles don’t even have surnames, only a humble name.In the eyes of the nobles of the Japanese country, as long as these untouchables have a humble name, they are enough to distinguish them, and they are called around.Of course, there is one exception, that is, the emperors of all dynasties, because the emperors are unique, so they don't need a surname at all, as long as they have a name.

In fact, it became popular only after the Meiji Restoration, when the Emperor decreed that everyone should have a surname.And Juzi is this humble woman, she is just the most humble prostitute in the Japanese country, relying on selling her flesh and blood on the boat to earn a little money.

However, Chrysanthemum was very lucky. On the way of the Japanese envoy to the Jin Dynasty, a ship crashed and most of the Japanese kingdom died, but she survived.Minako Yichuan formed the shadow group, made Juzi the leader of one party, and begged Chu Suanzi to give her a surname.

In Chu Suanzi's eyes, China relies on fame to distinguish Shihan. Commoners and untouchables both have two-syllable names, while gentry have one-syllable names.Of course, like Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, Gu Kaizhi, Fei Songzhi, Liu Laozhi, Kou Qianzhi, Sima Fuzhi, Sima Liangzhi, Sima Jingzhi, Sima Tanzhi, etc., there is a word, which is nothing more than a secret sign for Taoist believers , this "zhi" is a password, a badge.Zhang Tianshi, the boss of Tianshi Dao, is the eighth grandson of Zhang Liang.

According to the meaning of Minako Igawa, Chu Suanzi gave Tengyuan, Ju, Yuan, Ping, etc. to many warriors in the Wa Kingdom. Strictly speaking, they are still surnames, but in the eyes of Juzi and others, they already have the same surnames as nobles. , the same identity.

After a short time, the shadow of Dongcheng Zhipu's dark power, the twelve soldiers and guards, the soldiers and guards can be understood literally as soldiers and guards, and the soldiers and guards in Japan are internal guards similar to personal guards.
