Ma'am, your vest fell off again

Chapter 268 Yuheng is Seriously Injured
Before the dark guard could finish speaking, Li Junhao had already left the yard in a flash.

Outside the cast iron courtyard, people on both sides were still fighting. Several people brought by Fu Xuanrong were damaged. Needless to say, the other side was dead and maimed, and the mud on the ground was soaked in blood.

"Sovereign, why don't we withdraw, the brothers are exhausted."

Fu Xuanrong gritted her teeth and spat out a mouthful of mud-stained blood, "Retreat, what is the reason? Yuheng has no way of letting us go, take out the things hidden in the steel armor for me, even if you die, you must first Kill these people!"

Calculating the time, she will turn into a peacock in a short time, so she must not fight a protracted war, the sooner these people are dealt with, the better.

"Yes!"

The most powerful thing about this batch of steel armor is not that it is light and durable, but that there is a small handful of gunpowder hidden under the arm armor.

Even though it's just a small handful, its burning power is astonishing. It was refined by Fu Xuanrong himself, and its purity is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary medicine.

"Scatter the gunpowder, throw the fire bag!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of dusty things were thrown towards everyone in Yuheng, and then a small torch was thrown out. In an instant, a large ball of flames sprang up on the ground, and people under their feet were shaken by the violent explosion. Trembled a few times.

Although the people on Fu Xuanrong's side had already been mentally prepared, they were still affected by the impact, and more than half of them were blown away. She herself was not spared, and after a few steps, she spit out a big mouthful of blood.

"Sovereign, are you alright, suzerain?!" The nearest hidden guard hurried forward to check.

Fu Xuanrong shook her head and rubbed her humming ears, "Are you all right, brothers?"

"It's okay, let's retreat quickly, the group of rats killed halfway suffered heavy casualties."

"Well, as long as it's okay, we all go to the Iron Casting Institute to take off the steel armor. We can't delay, lest more officers and soldiers come over."

"Yes!"

A group of people stumbled and ran towards the cast iron courtyard. As soon as they entered, they saw a man in white floating in front of them. Unfortunately, his expression was too gloomy and cold, which didn't fit the temperament of this exile.

"Fu Xuanrong!" His voice trembled, and he was a little out of breath.

Fu Xuanrong's silver armor is now covered with blood, and her face is also mottled.

Although she had just crawled out of the ghost gate, she couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Meiren, whom she hadn't seen for several days, "You came just in time, and I'll give you the steel armor. We have to go back quickly."

Li Junhao wished he could stare at the woman in front of him, "Are you crazy that you dare to confront Yuheng head-on with just such a few people!"

"It's been beaten. It's meaningless to say this now. Come on, brothers, take off quickly."

"Yes, Sect Master."

The hidden guards took off the steel armor and placed them neatly in the yard. Fu Xuanrong called out a few guards to clean the steel armor, "Wash all the blood on it, don't leave any lies , if someone asks later, you will bite to death. This is made by the people in the cast iron yard, don't tell me, you know?"

"clear."

"Yeah." Without the support of the steel armor, the whole body of the Yinzong people began to ache, and Fu Xuanrong was not much better, and almost lost her strength and fell to the ground, "Okay, Li Junhao, I will leave the mopping up to you. let's go."

"Wait!" Li Junhao called Fu Xuanrong, as if he wanted to say something.

But in this situation, it's really not suitable to say something affectionate. His chest heaved violently, and there seemed to be two clusters of flames burning in his eyes.

Fu Xuanrong turned her head and glanced at him, her clothes were flying and her hair was messy, her face reflected the flames and blood behind her, she looked like a murderous female general.

She understood what Li Junhao wanted to say, but there was not much time left to maintain her human form, so she had to return home quickly.

Finally, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Let's go!"

There were many horses at the gate of the cast iron courtyard, which they had prepared in advance. Fu Xuanrong blew a whistle, and a group of people turned over and disappeared into the night over the flames.

……

The next day.

The one-month deadline was up, and the Cast Iron Institute handed over everything on time, and Li Junhao hid the extra cannons and steel armor in a dark place for emergencies.

But compared to this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were more concerned about the sneak attack yesterday.

"Your Majesty, I heard that General Yuheng was almost killed by gunpowder, and now he has lost a few good places. Needless to say, the three hundred elite soldiers have been wiped out."

There are more than 60 people in the area, but they can fight against more than 300 elite soldiers and win. This is enough to prove that they are a group of thieves with not simple backgrounds. How can the emperor not panic, "Have you checked? If they gather together, or if they have artillery in their hands, then the city of Kyoto may be in danger."

The crown prince stood up, "Father, my son has already sent people to search everywhere in the territory."

"I really can't figure it out, there are more than 60 people in this area, how can we beat our people back!"

"Father, there is an empty steel armor left on the ground. My son has gone to see it. It is much lighter and more powerful than the ones made by our court."

The emperor turned pale, "When did the folks have such a powerful iron caster?"

Li Junhao cupped his hands, "Father, there are many strange people and strange things among the people. Now that I am in charge of the iron casting yard, I feel that it is time to recruit a group of new people. Otherwise, I will continue to rely on the old foundation and cannot create anything new."

"Third brother, what you said, I want to ask you, the place where they fought last night was outside the cast iron courtyard, why didn't you lead the troops out to assist General Yuheng while you were staying in the courtyard?"

Li Junhao glanced at the prince lightly, "His Royal Highness is joking, my courtyard is full of ordinary guards, and the steel armor has to be sent to the northwest to General Gu. The situation was tragic, and we Mou Ran stepped forward. court death."

"Could it be that in the eyes of the third brother, the life of General Yuheng is not as good as dozens of sets of steel armor?"

"Enough!" The emperor was already upset, seeing the crown prince arguing with Li Junhao at this moment, he wished he could throw his book on the ground, "There has been such a big mess, you brothers should have worked together to investigate who was behind the scenes, but now Arguing about these things before the court, is it to drive me to death!"

Both Li Junhao and Li Chen's expressions turned serious, "I dare not."

"That's all, I'm here today, let's go, prince, you go to visit General Yuheng instead of me, and send some high-grade tonics there."

"Yes."

The court had already dispersed, Li Junhao walked out with a cold face, just after leaving the palace gate, Song Wenzhi and Chen Ziyi chased after him.

"My lord, is this matter related to Master Rong?" Except for that woman, they really couldn't think of anyone who would dare to do such a shocking thing.

Li Junhao didn't intend to hide it from them, "Yeah."

"God! How could Lord Rong have steel armor and blow up Yuheng into such a virtue?"

Chen Ziyi is now in the Ministry of War, and she also guessed something in her heart, "It is impossible for the people in the cast iron yard to make so many things in a month, so I guess, Master Rong must have sent something over yesterday, and then accidentally bumped into the jade. Heng. She has always been unwilling to admit defeat, so she fought."
