A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Cao Yi fell.

Zhe Kexing was the first to run over. When he saw Cao Yi lying there with his face covered in black smoke, his legs felt a little weak.

"Uncle!"

He knelt on the edge and stretched out his hand to breathe.

"Ouch……"

When Cao Yi opened his eyes, his first words were: "Where's the tube? Find it."

The sergeant who lit the fire was stupid at this moment. After hearing this, he searched for a while, and when he found the bamboo tube, he found that it was already cracked.

"Military Lord, it's broken!"

Cao Yan asked Zhe Kexing to help him up, shook his dizzy head, and reached out to take the bamboo tube.

There is a crack on the side of the bamboo tube. It looks like the side of the long skirt has been torn open, but instead of the woman's white and tender thighs, it has the wall of the tube blackened by gunpowder.

"Where's the stone bullet?"

Cao Yi broke away from the support and stumbled to the target, looking around.

Zhe Kexing didn't know what he was going to do, but when he saw the look in his eyes, he couldn't help but shake his head.

The sharp archer must have a pair of eyes like a falcon. He saw the stone bullet at just one glance.

"Military Lord, here."

The bullet passed the target, about ten paces away.

Cao Yi closed his eyes and muttered something.

"This is an air leak. What will happen if it's blocked?"

"The bamboo tube seems unable to withstand gunpowder."

He did not charge much this time, and it was not compacted. In addition, the stone bullets were rough and the seal with the cylinder wall was incomplete...

If all the above items are perfected and the bamboo tube explodes, Cao Yi will be seriously injured even if he is not dead.

Cao Ji called the craftsman, "Is there any way to make the bamboo tube strong?"

The craftsman rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "Uncle, there is nothing I can do about it."

Cao Yan thought of Shen An's arrogance in offering a reward, and said calmly: "It's always money!"

The craftsman hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, there is. Uncle Guo, we need iron hoops."

"Get it!"

He just kept thinking about it there, with paper and pen around him, and it didn't take long for him to record several pages of ideas.

The iron hoop was hammered out manually, and it was already afternoon when it came out.

"I can't get in!"

The iron hoop was gray and black. Cao Yi tried to press it on the bamboo tube, but found that he couldn't press it in.

"It's too small." Cao Yi frowned and looked at the craftsman, feeling afraid that he had met a liar.

The sergeant next to him smiled ferociously. Once he was sure that this person was a liar, he was ready to use military methods to deal with him.

"Uncle, don't be anxious." The craftsman put the iron hoop on the bamboo tube, looked at the gap, and said with a smile: "It's appropriate! It's extremely appropriate!"

Cao Yan just sneered, and the craftsman went with the iron hoop. Cao Yan winked, and a sergeant followed him.

He is a bit of a dandy, but he cannot allow others to lie to him.

Later, the craftsman came with pliers holding the iron hoop. He asked someone to stand the bamboo tube up, then put the iron hoop on it, and gently tapped the edge of the iron hoop with a hammer...

"Inside!"

Cao Yan glanced at the sergeant, who said, "He just burned the iron hoop."

What is the truth?

Cao Yi was puzzled, so the craftsman just put a few iron hoops in, and then soaked the bamboo tube in the water. It was considered a success.

With a few iron hoops around him, Cao Yi's confidence greatly increased and he did it again.

He put the bamboo tube on his shoulders and said confidently: "Light the fire!"

Zhe Kexing's eyelids were twitching. He felt that Cao Yan was running wildly on the road to death, and he couldn't hold him back.

"boom!"

This time the bamboo tube did not leak, and the stone bullets flew out.

"out!"

The sergeant was so excited that he ran over all the way, picked up the stone bullets that had fallen to the ground, turned around and shouted: "Military leader, it was just a little bit close!"

Zhe Kexing's eyesight was very good, and the corners of his mouth twitched, feeling that it was really unreasonable for someone in the army to flatter him.

He saw clearly just now that the stone bullet flew past the edge of the target, at least two steps away from the target.

This isn't just bad, it's completely bad.

But he succeeded?

Zhe Kexing's body trembled, "If the sergeant goes out with this thing and fires it out when encountering the enemy, the enemy's troops...may be able to block it?"

Cao Yi turned around and said with a smile: "I don't know, you can give it a try."

So he recharged and reloaded.

"Come on!" Zhe Kexing and Cao Yi competed for the right to launch this thing. In the end, Zhe Kexing used his identity as a sharp archer to suppress Cao Yi.

He carried the bamboo tube and said steadily: "Light the fire!"

The fuse ignites...

boom!

As soon as the stone bullets came out of the tube, the bamboo tube was thrown away by Zhe Kexing.

It's too hot!

Bang!

The stone bullet accurately hit the wooden target and then bounced to the ground.

"Not broken?"

Cao Yan walked to the front of the target and stretched out his hand to touch the impact point.

"There are pits, hahahaha!"

He said ecstatically: "If there are dents, it means that someone is right, but the energy is not strong enough!"

"How can I be so energetic?"

He stood there in thought.

"Seal." Zhe Kexing left these words and left.

"Yes! Sealed." Cao Yi went to get the bamboo tube, only to find that it had been deformed.

"You can't use it after two launches."

This practicality is compromised.

"How about... get an iron one?"

Cao Yi acted vigorously and resolutely, and as the uncle of the state, it was very convenient for him to do this.

Then he went around ringing bells and making various promises, and finally got the cast iron cylinder.

"Try it, hahahaha!"

He thought he was invincible, but after loading the medicine, he discovered a problem.

"too heavy!"

He was carrying the iron cylinder and felt like his body was floating.

"Someone is coming."

At the critical moment, Zhe Kexing was still reliable. He carried the iron tube and whispered: "Light the fire."

boom!

The stone bullet was launched and accurately hit the wooden target.

Boom!

Seeing sawdust flying everywhere in his sight, Cao Yan slowly squatted on the ground, lowered his head, and his body was trembling slightly.

"Military Lord...it's done, it's done!" Everyone was cheering, but Cao Yi squatted there without saying a word.

Zhe Kexing glanced at him and said, "Let's all disperse."

Everyone was puzzled. After they left, Zheke walked over and asked, "Please invite the officials to come and take a look?"

Cao Yi nodded, and when he looked up again, there were tears on his face.

"A certain person has accomplished nothing since he was a child. After his eldest sister entered the palace, he became like a quail, timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Later he got free, but after all it was difficult to support the family. The eldest sister said that a certain person's work was unsuccessful, and a certain person said that he wanted to do something big for her to see. Follow the way , is this considered a big deal?"

"Of course it counts!"

"That will make me feel at ease."

Cao Yi's memorial came into the palace. Zhao Shu couldn't help laughing after reading it, "Is he fighting with the empress? Let the empress see it like this."

Gao Taotao went to the back and told Queen Mother Cao about Cao Yi's new firearm.

"Is it useful?" Empress Dowager Cao was weaving. She was dull at first, but she became more angry when she heard this.

Gao Taotao didn't know if it was useful, but depending on what the officials meant, it was probably useless. She smiled and said, "The officials said it was useful!"

"This is just to coax me." Empress Dowager Cao, for her part, dislikes such perfunctory behavior. She said calmly: "I'm old enough to go and have a look."

Gao Taotao's expression changed, "Mother, this... is fine."

How could a widowed Queen Mother come out of the palace to watch the excitement?

This is taboo.

But Empress Dowager Cao is not an ordinary empress dowager. She is a maverick in the palace. If she didn't have any worries, she would probably leave the palace.

After Zhao Shu learned about it, he could only smile bitterly, "About this matter... Shen An is a master of firearms, let him go too."

A chamberlain went to the Shen family to announce the news. Shen An was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What kind of firearm?"

The chamberlain shook his head. He didn't want to answer, but he didn't dare to offend Shen An, "I said I've never seen it before."

What the hell is Cao Yi doing?

Shen An felt strange, but thinking about Zhe Kexing, he put his mind down and started to worry.

Baoan's consort is being selected, and there are many candidates. This time Gao Taotao learned the lesson from last time and did not give the servants a chance at all. Instead, he mobilized relatives and friends to investigate.

Shen An is also one of them, but he really doesn't want to do this!

Shen An, who didn't want to be a matchmaker, had a good night's sleep. He took his sister and Taro for a few runs in the morning, feeling comfortable all over.

"Do your own homework. Next time I hear you ask Governor Zhou for help, be careful of your butt."

Taro has learned to be cunning now. Once the assigned homework feels troublesome, she will go to the front yard to ask Governor Zhou for help.

Such students, in future generations, would most likely be beaten by mixed men and women.

"Da Lang is still young!"

Yang Zhuoxue was accustomed to protecting his calf, and Shen An said angrily: "Just protect him. If you can, tie him to your belt for the rest of your life."

The prodigal ladies started by pampering their children.

Shen An stood up and glanced at the timid Taro, "My father has something to do today. If I find that my homework is not good when I come back..."

Taro nodded subconsciously, "Don't worry, Dad."

Shen An smiled and then went to Wan Shengjun.

Wan Shengjun was heavily guarded today, and the defense outside had been taken over by the Imperial City Division. Shen An saw a few familiar people.

All the way in, Cao Yi and Zhe Kexing changed into new armors and stood solemnly, almost like puppets.

"What is it?" Shen An searched around, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net When he saw the iron cylinders, his eyes lit up, "Firegun?"

"What kind of gun?" Cao Yi relaxed a little when he saw that the official hadn't arrived yet, "This is a treasure that someone has thought about for a long time. It specializes in hitting stone bullets and smashing wooden targets with one hit."

He looked at Shen An proudly and said, "An Bei, they say you are a master of firearms. You haven't thought about this treasure."

hehe!

Shen An nodded, just thinking about the test in Izumo Temple.

Later, Zhao Shu came with Zaifu and the others, accompanied by the three yamen chiefs.

"Is this the iron cylinder?"

Fu Bi leaned over and struggled to pick up the iron cylinder and asked, "What's the use?"

Cao Yi wanted to explain it carefully, but when he saw a man in casual clothes behind him, he casually said, "See for yourself."

Fu Bi was furious, and he raised his head and was about to get angry, but following Cao Yi's line of sight, he saw the man and immediately stopped.

"Sister."

Empress Dowager Cao was dressed in men's clothing, and was surrounded by several female officials also dressed in men's clothing, as well as Ren Shouzhong, a loyal dog.

Zhao Shu was very busy and came here just to give face, so he hurriedly said: "Let's get started."

Cao Yi picked up the iron cylinder and Zhe Kexing prepared to light the fire.

For this glorious moment, Cao Yi practiced hard for a long time, his shoulders were bruised, and only then did he achieve a good result of two out of three serves.

ignition!

boom!

The stone bullet flew out and accurately hit the wooden target.

Boom!

The wooden target shattered.

Zhao Shu and the prime ministers, who were originally careless, couldn't help but get up and take a look.

Baby!

Fourth update, there will be an additional update later.
