The Autobiography of Cinnamon

Chapter 196 The Mediocre Princess 47
"Princess." Chu Mo's body flickered, and he was almost knocked down by the huge impact of the firearm. At this moment, Gong Mo's figure had stepped forward, quickly dissipated the impact, and held him firmly Chumo.

"I'm fine." Chu Mo shook his head excitedly, only to see a puff of white smoke still rising in the distance, ignoring his aching collarbone from the shock, he quickly ran towards the tree.

"Jin Chen, you succeeded." Chu Mo yelled loudly, and when Jin Chen and the others rushed to the tree, they were also shocked by the huge lethality of the firearm, and saw that one side of the tree trunk was scorched black and deeply sunken. If it was an ordinary guard, this shot would definitely kill him.

Gong Mo looked closely at the fist-sized pit on the tree trunk, Chu Mo threw down the musket in his hand, and hugged Jin Chen who was still looking at the scorched marks on the tree.

"Good job, we succeeded, we succeeded." Chu Mo shouted happily, using Jin Chen's body as a device to vent his joy, rubbing it constantly.

"Princess." Jin Chen backed away uncomfortably, stretched out his hand, but inadvertently touched the sore spot on Chu Mo's neck, his eyebrows frowned, but Chu Mo found that he was hugging Jin Chen at this moment, so he let go of his hand immediately. Looking at Gong Mo behind him, he still had that breezy expression.

Saying a poker face again, Chu Mo turned back to check Yujing's finished musket.

"Princess, together with Grand Duke Wupu and the empty shells of firearms collected from outside, now [-] muskets have been completed, and the gunpowder is enough. However, the Li family seems to have heard the movement and strictly controlled these used firearms. .”

Chu Mo nodded. She naturally thought of this. Previously, the Li family monopolized all the firearms in the Wupu Kingdom. Naturally, those firearms that have been used have no other use. Buying at a high price, coming and going, reaping a lot of benefits from it.

From the first two months, the merchants who suddenly appeared on the market to recycle these used firearms were much higher than the Li family. Naturally, these were the people Chu Mo ordered to send out. The price received a complete firearm shell, greatly reducing the cost of production.

However, recently, the Li family seems to have noticed the movement in the market, and even put forward a more stringent requirement, requiring high-ranking officials and nobles who buy weapons to provide the same number of empty firearms. At this moment, Chumo's firearms have not yet reached the level of mass production, so naturally they cannot compete with Li Jiaxiang.

"Are the original three hundred firearms still in the Princess Mansion?" Chu Mo turned around and asked Gong Mo.

"Yes."

"Tomorrow, all will be handed over to the people sent by Grand Duke Wupu."

"During the transaction, the Grand Duke asked for two hundred pieces, the princess did this..." Gong Mo hesitated for a moment, and asked, "There are still personal guards in the mansion, and these firearms are needed to protect the princess..."

"Our people use this." Chu Mo patted the box next to him, [-] pieces. Chu Mo was already very satisfied with Jin Chen's speed. Chumo's deal allowed him to leave the Wupu Kingdom sooner.

"Compared to the Li family's disposable weapons that use fire energy, the biggest advantage of our muskets is that they can be recycled." Chu Mo opened the box beside him, and inside the box were neatly arranged yellow magazines, each one as thick as a finger, Chu Mo picked one up, loaded it skillfully, and pulled the bumper away.

"How? Their weapons can only be used once, what a waste." Chu Mo shook his head, picked up a yellow bullet and threw it at Gong Mo.

After receiving the bullet, Gong Mo carefully inspected the things in his hands. The princess called it a bullet, a blueprint, and it was made by pouring metal at high temperature that is common in Wupu. This method has never been seen before, but the shot just now It made him fall into deep thought, and he couldn't help but take a deep look at the enthusiastic Chu Mo in front of him.

Moreover, compared to the Li family's firearms, the greater advantage is that it is fast, convenient, and able to kill continuously. If you think about it, can such a weapon be able to...

"Princess's ability, I admire you." This sentence was indeed from Gong Mo's heart, but Chu Mo was stunned when it was heard, how could he forget that the person in front of him had been with the princess day and night, and his complexion turned pale.

"You admire the wrong person. It is Jin Chen who should be thanked." Chu Mo patted Jin Chen on the shoulder, but the man frowned.

"Princess, all the firearms of this batch have been refitted, and we still need to find a way to get more empty firearms." She didn't care about the meaning of Chu Mo's words, but was thinking about the predicament in front of her.

"Princess, don't worry, another batch of firearms is about to arrive in the Li family recently." Gong Mo smiled, and as soon as the words came out, Chu Mo immediately understood what it meant.

"The Li family is really considerate. They knew what I was lacking, so they delivered it to my door, and followed the old rules." Chu Mo's eyes lit up. With these weapons, her safety was guaranteed.

As the night darkened, an unremarkable carriage drove out from Li Jinshan quickly. After discussing with Jin Chen what he was going to do in the near future, Chu Mo modified the ratio of gunpowder and asked Jin Chen to prepare a few After being busy with other things all afternoon, he left Li Jinshan under Gong Mo's urging.

There was a steady breathing sound from the carriage, and a cup of fragrant tea in Gong Mo's hand, but his eyes fell on Chu Mo, who was lying on his back and sleeping in an extremely poor state.

"Hoo hoo, pizza." The woman turned around, spit out a few vague words, and changed to a more comfortable position.

Gong Mo looked at the woman in front of him quietly, but there was an inexplicable entanglement in his eyes, he didn't understand what the entanglement was, but when he thought of the future, the lake that was as calm as a mirror in his heart was turbulent.

"The Li clan in the imperial capital is already on alert. Li Zhen, the son of Li Jie, has already left. Together with him are 100 members of the Li family's Chengzu family guard." The night was quiet and deep in the sky, Gong Mo's words came calmly. The white smoke was intermittent and shapeless, and there was a moment of silence. The slender figure knelt quietly, as if waiting.

"Wu Pu Country is short of energy, even if there are a few hundred more Chengzu Family Guards, it will be useless, but you said that the musket developed by that woman can actually fight against Li's firearms?" The voice was clearly doubtful.

"Yes, but the princess also understands that the Li family's firearms are only the lowest-end items of the Li family, and the ones in the hands of Chengzu's family guard must be more lethal. Only one person is needed, and the princess' mansion will be razed to the ground."

"Hmph. There are only 37 personal guards left. Anyway, they will die sooner or later. Die in your hands is naturally happier than dying in Li's house." The two hundred personal guards left behind were to keep her safe for the rest of her life, but until now, she was unable to protect even these personal guards.

"The world can't be predicted. If the emperor is alive, the princess's safety is the most important concern. As long as the princess is safe and sound, no one else matters."

"Go down, just wait for Li Zhen to arrive, and act according to the plan." There was a long silence, the white smoke gradually receded, and the room was plunged into darkness again. After a long time, Gong Mo stood up and walked out of the house.

Acting according to the plan, since the original situation, then this day is expected, but why, why was the previous complacency so uneasy.

"Young Master..." His clothes fluttered, and in the silent night, the visitor seemed to be surprised and waited here for a long time, until a white figure appeared, stepped forward, and called out with a respectful expression.
