Concubine is always vicious

Chapter 144

"Nightmare? What nightmare?" Huo Tianxiao walked to the bed and asked.

An Huan shook her head, "It's nothing, why hasn't the emperor slept yet?" Now in the general's mansion, she naturally changed her address.

Huo Tianxiao looked slightly dazed, and then said, "I can't sleep."

"What is the emperor thinking?" An Huan asked curiously.

Huo Tianxiao smiled wryly, "It's nothing, maybe it's mediocrity."

An Huan immediately asked, "Is the emperor thinking about Li Mu?"

Huo Tianxiao had learned about An Huan's shrewdness a long time ago, so it didn't feel too strange for her to tell his thoughts, so he nodded.

An Huan said again, "Actually speaking of this, I discovered a problem that I didn't think about before."

"What's the problem?" Huo Tianxiao asked.

An Huan frowned in thought, as if she was trying very hard to guess Huo Tianxiao's intentions, but in the end she didn't know whether Huo Tianxiao ignored this matter, or he really had ulterior motives.

She asked slowly, "Your Majesty, hand over the blueprint of the cannon to Li Mu, aren't you afraid that he will have different ideas in the future?"

If Da Zongba was a tiger, Li Mu could at least be considered a wolf.

In particular, if Li Mu had the support of a group of cannons, he would be even more powerful.

Huo Tianxiao frowned slightly, "If you don't do this? What else can we do? Da Zongba will leave the customs soon, and we don't have much time."

"But it seems that it's a bit risky." An Huan said worriedly.

Huo Tianxiao sneered, "I won't give Li Mu a chance."

"What does the emperor mean?" An Huan was puzzled.

Huo Tianxiao shook his head, "Of course you will know in the future." It's still the same old saying, many things, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not tell An Huan.

Moreover, no matter what he does, he will firmly control everything in his hands.

Daeun Temple is out of his control, so it must perish.And if Li Muguo really disagreed, would his fate be better than that of Daxiong Temple?
……

Three days later, the first cannon was completed.

Although it is only a cannon, it was built by dozens of craftsmen in the army working day and night.

First of all, Da Zongba is about to leave the customs in a few days, time is running out, and there must be a sharp weapon to prevent Da Zongba from sneaking in.

Second, An Huan and Huo Tianxiao need to use the power of this cannon to inspire people.This is extremely important for enhancing the cohesion of the army and the crusade against Xifan City in the near future.

Because of the consideration of the transportation problem, there is a carriage-like thing under the cannon, with four wheels, which is convenient for the transportation of the cannon. After all, it is too difficult to transport things weighing a thousand catties by manpower alone.

The first trial of the cannon was chosen on the training ground.

The training ground has a radius of tens of feet, and the most important thing is that at the end of it is a hill, not far behind that hill is the boundary between the Xingluo Dynasty and the Beidou Dynasty.

In the past two years, the relationship between the two countries has gradually become delicate. Some sensitive areas are desolate and uninhabited, so it is very appropriate to choose this place for trial.

In fact, there is another point, that is, An Huan does not know at this time how powerful this cannon that has been modified by her is.

Generally speaking, the shooting range is at least not less than twenty feet, but this is not an accurate number, everything must be based on practice, it may be fifteen or sixty feet, or it may be more than twenty feet.

Of course, if you really want to maximize its power, the farther the range, the better.

Regarding the operation of the cannon, An Huan also simply wrote an operation manual, everything was done by his own soldiers.

The soldiers slowly put the cannonballs made of saltpeter and sulfur into the clip, stretched the lead wire, and a group of people retreated a few feet away...

Ignite the fire, the sparks of chi chi are not very conspicuous in the daytime, but hearing that sound, everyone's heart is extremely tense.

"Boom..." A shocking sound came out, and everyone subconsciously wanted to cover their ears. Twenty feet away, gunpowder smoke billowed. , the land turned into a scorched black color.

Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it, including Huo Tianxiao and Li Mu.

However, An Huan smiled happily. The most powerful weapon in history has been released here...

Long and short pavilions in the general's mansion.

It was dusk at this time, and the sun exuded an orange afterglow and slowly fell towards the sky.Xuanwei City is not beautiful, the only beautiful scene is the moment when the sun sets, but it is a pity that such beauty can never last forever.

Holding the teacup in his hand, Huo Tianxiao stared at the distant dusk landscape in a daze.

It seems that he seldom has such leisure time to look at the surrounding scenery. It turns out that he has missed so much in his life quietly.

An Huan was lazily leaning on the bench, with her back leaning against the guardrail. The busy days in a row had exhausted her enough, and she rarely had time to rest, so she became more relaxed.

For a long time, the two of them didn't speak. One was admiring the beauty of the sunset on the long river in autumn, while the other completely let go of his mind and relaxed his nerves.

She needs a good rest so much. She was so exhausted during this time that she almost killed half of her life. Moreover, as long as she was a little far away from Huo Tianxiao, she hardly dared to sleep.

In this general's mansion, except for Huo Tianxiao, there is no one worthy of her trust, and she dare not believe it.

Moreover, during this period of time, Li Mu contacted her many times expressly and implicitly, and said some inexplicable words, which made her even more headache.

If she wasn't by Huo Tianxiao's side at this time, she probably would have to hold on no matter how tired she was, and would never dare to sleep.

After a while, Huo Tianxiao came over, sat down next to her, put her head on his lap, gently kneaded her temples, and said distressedly, "I've been exhausted for a while. "

An Huan gave a comfortable "um" and did not speak. Huo Tianxiao smiled wryly. Because of his injury, he has always been very leisurely, and his status is too special, so there is no need to do many things by himself.

But An Huan was different. No one knew what those strange blueprints and some impenetrable calculation formulas were, so she had to be there to guide them.

"If you are tired, take a good rest tonight."

"No..." squeaked, now is not the time to rest.

Speaking of it, according to the time calculation, Da Zongba had already left the customs three days ago, but he did not fulfill the seven-day agreement, so there was an unknown danger hidden in it.

An Huan didn't think that Da Zongba was telling a joke. Although a person like Da Zongba looked gentle and harmless on the surface, without the slightest sharp edge, what he said was absolutely nail-biting.

And the reason why she hasn't appeared after the seven-day appointment is probably because she was checking her and Huo Tianxiao's whereabouts.

However, three days should be enough for Da Zongba to find out the whereabouts of the two of them, so how dare she fall asleep in the face of Da Zongba who may appear at any time.

"What are you thinking?" Huo Tianxiao faintly guessed a trace of worry in An Huan's heart, when he asked this question, he seemed a little puzzled.

An Huan giggled, she twisted her body, got into Huo Tianxiao's arms, rubbed against her, found a comfortable position to lie down, and said, "Say, if Da Zongba knows that we will give him After preparing such a big gift, will he come again?"

Huo Tianxiao also laughed when he heard this, "If I were him, I probably wouldn't have come. However, Da Zongba is so conceited, even if he knew you were waiting to plot against her, he would have come."

An Huan curled her lips, "So sometimes it's not a good thing to be too conceited."

Huo Tianxiao sighed and nodded. If he was before, before he met An Huan, before he experienced so many setbacks, he must have been extremely conceited. He always naively thought that in this world, there are mountains of swords and seas of fire. Where is he not allowed to go?
However, after seeing the power of An Huan's cannon, Huo Tianxiao realized that there are people beyond people and heaven beyond the sky. Sometimes people's vision is too short and narrow after all.

Huo Tianxiao said immediately, "What if Da Zongba doesn't fall for the trick? He can't stand still and wait for you to fire the cannon."

"Don't worry, Da Zongba will definitely accept this gift I specially prepared for him." An Huan laughed.

"Why?" Huo Tianxiao was puzzled.

An Huan smiled and said, "Because, Da Zongba probably wants to know more about the power of this shell than I do."

"I hope so." Although Da Zongba didn't think that Da Zongba would be so stupid, Huo Tianxiao still nodded.

How could he know that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard an old voice from behind, "An Huan, you are right, I am really curious about the power of this thing."

"Da Zongba..." Both of them were shocked. Da Zongba had already arrived and secretly overheard the two of them talking, but they didn't notice it from the beginning to the end. In comparison, the disparity in strength is really too great.

"It's me." After Da Zongba said this, he walked out slowly against the setting sun.

When I got closer, I realized that he was very thin, but he was not old. On the contrary, his face was rosy, with a bit of fairy air.

And his voice has a shocking force that penetrates time and space, as if piercing directly into people's hearts, people can't help but submit to his coercion.

However, seeing Da Zongba like that, An Huan's heart was shocked. She remembered that Da Zongba had always been very old, and he was essentially a stubborn but immortal old man.

But now, although he doesn't look much younger, he gives people a feeling of vitality and vitality, and his energy is even more abundant to an incredible level.

The matter of Nadama's body being refined is indeed not a rumor, but a fact.

"What are you looking at?" Da Zongba's eyes immediately settled on An Huan.

An Huan took a step back, feeling the boundless coldness in his old eyes.

Seeing her like this, Da Zongba laughed loudly, "Didn't you just think about how to plot against me, why don't you dare to do it now?"

An Huan is a person who is strong when he encounters the strong, so he sneered back, "Da Zongba, you are old, do you still think that the world is still yours?"

Da Zongba's face darkened, "Turn your hands to make clouds and turn your hands to make rain. Isn't this world my world?"

"That's just your self-righteousness." An Huan sarcastically said.

"Self-righteous?" Da Zongba spit out these words, slowly raised his palm, and a strong swirl of air, mixed with dark destructive power, slapped An Huan.

The fluttering palm looked very ordinary, but An Huan's face changed drastically, and he stepped back a few steps in a row, taking off part of the palm force, then flicked the palm, and pointed it up.

With a "bang", the heels of her feet were firmly embedded in the stone slab, as if a gust of hurricane had blown by, An Huan's hair was all blown up, and around her was also turbulent, and the cold wind howled.
