"Lord, this is the fourth attack." Yue Jingyu's Junior Brother saluted and said Kuan Kuan.
Yue Jingyu sat on the futon, and after hearing the report from his junior brother, "how are the results?"
"Qinglian's strength is stronger than we judged." Junior brother said: "Counting this time, hundreds of practitioners have fallen in front of him, and he..."
"How?" Yue Jingyu said.
"It hasn't been affected in any way." Junior Brother said with his head down.
Yue Jingyu stood up slowly, walked a few steps forward, staring into the distance, which is the direction Qinglian was in: "I want to sharpen him and make him sharper. He is in the best state. When it is time to defeat it, you can directly interrupt the last spine of Datang. What I did not expect is that Qinglian is a sword that is sharper than I thought. I have completed the sublimation of myself with my hand."
The younger brother thought for a while and asked: "Guardian, are you going to make a move?"
Yue Jingyu said: "It's not time yet, his aura has not reached its peak. Now that the contest has started, there is no need to stop. Let's wait and see, and see what height Qinglian can reach."
"There is another extremely tricky weapon in the academy," said the younger brother.
"You said the kind of tubular weapons that can spray all kinds of weapons?" Yue Jingyu said: "Don't forget, there is also Zhou Fei in the academy, and that is a person who can't even record the secret records of the heavens. His origin is definitely not simple."
"Senior brother, what do you mean by this?" Junior brother frowned: "Isn't Zhou Fei not from the Great Wilderness?"
Yue Jingyu said: "The world is big, we are small, everything is possible."
The younger brother put one hand on his chest, "Senior brother sees you well."
"There is no good opinion." Yue Jingyu said: "It's just some guesses without evidence."
The younger brother thought for a while and asked, "Brother, what should the young master do? He is still in the academy, do you need me to bring the young master back?"
Yue Jingyu said: "No, since he has made a choice, we don't have to interfere. Anyway, he will be back sooner or later."
The younger brother stopped talking and bowed down.
Yue Jingyu continued to maintain the attitude of staring at the direction of the academy.
But in his mind, he was already talking to Qing Lian.
"How long can you hold on?"
"It's not persistence, it's waiting."
"Can you wait?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to wait."
The dialogue is very concise, but the content is not important. What is important is that Yue Jingyu judged Qinglian's state through these simple exchanges.
The second brother did not deliberately conceal his true state, this is his pride.
Yue Jingyu retracted his gaze, returned to the futon and continued to sit down cross-legged, with the corners of his mouth slightly cocked: "Then I will just wait, waiting for you to walk in front of me step by step."
Academy.
The second elder brother blew off the blood on the blade and turned around in one go.
"It's gone today." The Second Senior Brother said: "Let's rest."
The disciples in the college standing behind the second brother were all relieved. The students on the first floor began to live and cook. The fourth sister stepped forward and removed the second brother’s armour, and at the same time wiped the second brother’s face with a piece of white silk cloth. Blood stains.
"Injured?" Tu Wanyue asked.
The second senior shook his head: "Other people's blood."
"How do you feel?" Tu Wanyue asked again.
"Yue Jingyu just talked to me." The second senior brother replied a little bit.
Asked.
Tu Wanyue frowned: "He really can bear it."
"So don't worry, take your time, we have time." After the second senior said, he breathed out slowly.
Although he has been comforting others, he still consumes a lot of physical strength in the face of so many attacks from practitioners continuously.
It's just that the method he uses is very labor-saving, so he can persist for such a long time.
During the cooking process, the sky has dimmed.
The second brother went to rest after dinner.
The other brothers gathered around the campfire and chatted while warming the fire.
The aura of Ji Zixing and Tu Wanyue has also recovered a lot, and if the enemy comes again tomorrow, they can also help.
"Little Junior Brother, how long can your conscience gun last?" Third Senior Brother asked.
Zhou Fei said: "It's useless."
"It's useless?" Senior Brother Three said in surprise, "It only took a day."
Zhou Fei sighed: "The propellant is used up. It is difficult to extract propellant with such a high purity with the current process. Even if all the masters of the Chang'an City Refining Workshop are found, such a good propellant cannot be produced. ."
Senior Brother said: "The Third Junior Brother has done our best, and we can't pin all our hopes on those weapons. In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves in this battle."
Senior Sister Si said: "I can still draw a few runes, which should be able to withstand it for a while."
Deng Ruoshui, as the representative of the students on the first floor, also sat beside the bonfire, "Our pictures of mountains and rivers and villages can also be used!"
The senior brother said: "So, I can feel a little more at ease."
"The situation of Chang'an City, I don't know what's going on." Yue Chen said suddenly: "Being besieged, the people in the city will feel a lot of pressure."
"Don't worry, the Tang people are not as fragile as you think." The senior brother said: "Don't say it is a besieged city, even if it is a slaughter city, the Tang people's waist will not bend. The most difficult thing now is the southern border. Lu Tiansuo took that. There are tens of thousands of soldiers, I don't know if they can resist Qi's fierce attack. Once Qi breaks through the defensive line constructed by Lu Tiansuo and reaches Chang'an, the situation will take a turn for the worse."
Zhou Fei said: "Hey, it would be nice if there was a radio. It would be able to keep track of the trends in other battlefields at any time, and save us from guessing here."
"What is the radio?" Yue Chen asked.
"A type that can be contacted remotely... Hey, I will explain to you what this is for, and you won't understand it." Zhou Fei said, "Big brother, I have an idea."
"Little brother, please speak." Senior brother said.
"These cannons are no longer useful in our hands. I think they can be generous and give them some." Zhou Fei said.
Senior Brother said: "Little Junior Brother hasn't given up the previous plan?"
"Of course, I am looking forward to the scene where the conscience cannon explodes at the center of the Allied Forces of the Temple. It will definitely be very exciting." Zhou Fei's smile was a little bad.
"What are you going to do?" Senior Brother said.
Zhou Fei said: "After the attacks in the daytime, most of the temple will think that the second brother is exhausted and unable to guard at night. And we are all wounded here, even if there is a senior brother sitting in the town, most of the temple will send people to come. Robbery. After all, as long as this thing is held in our hands, they will not be able to live for a moment. So when they come to guard, everyone must pretend, especially the big brother, you must pretend that the injury is very serious, and it is best to live with others. The kind that vomits blood after a few strokes, to
Brother Yu San and Senior Sister Si, you two figure it out, anyway you have to let each other know that you are seriously injured. "
"As for Xiao Yueyue and I, they are even the main force in this defense. After a difficult struggle, we finally failed to save all the unscrupulous guns and were snatched away by them. Only in this way can we let them go. The people in the temple believe this thing is a good thing, oh yes, we have to remind each other that this thing was fired out with gunpowder, otherwise even if the wooden fish brains are caught, they don’t understand how this thing works. Yue Yue, it's time to see our acting skills."
Yue Chen rubbed his hands and became very interested: "Do you want to act? I like it. To tell you, my acting skills are quite good. When I was a child in Zhiyueguan, I deceived Chu Weiyi by acting. Many times, otherwise she would have been beaten to death!"
Zhou Fei patted him on the shoulder: "Don't drop me the chain that night."
"Don't worry, it's all right." Yue Chen waved his fist and said with his chin up.
…
"Chen Xue Buqi, see Your Majesty."
Xue Buqi, the master of the refining workshop, knelt in the center of the main hall, folded his hands on the ground, and put his forehead on the back of his hands in a respectful posture.
The little emperor Li Xuan said: "Xue Aiqing please get up soon. I have already said that Aiqing doesn't need to give this big gift when seeing me, just stand up and talk."
"Your Majesty." Xue Buqi stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Your Majesty, the workshop is processing and rushing around the clock, and the first batch of firearms is already ready for use."
Li Xuan said excitedly: "Seriously? That's great. Where is the firearm? I want to see."
Xue Buqi said: "Your Majesty, the power of firearms is too great, and the minister dare not take it to the court. If your majesty wants to see, please go to the crafts workshop with your minister. We have a special trial area. , Absolutely safe."
Li Xuan said: "Then what are you hesitating about, go, and lead me forward quickly."
The eunuch on the side hurried over, "Your Majesty, slow down."
Li Xuan waved his sleeves, "Don't make a fuss, hurry up and prepare the sedan chair, I'm going to the refining workshop."
The eunuch immediately shouted: "Prepare the sedan chair, your majesty is going out of the palace!"
The eight bearers carried Long Nian, sparks and lightning all the way to the refining workshop.
After several expansions, the area of the refining workshop has been more than four times larger than before. It is somewhat similar to the arsenal of later generations. It is divided into several areas, divided into more than two hundred top refining divisions. Several teams were formed to conquer different firearms projects.
In addition, there is an area dedicated to testing the power of firearms.
The craftsmen have strengthened this place, so even if the artillery fire here, the outside world is still calm.
"Your Majesty, this kind of weapon is called Fire Gunpowder." Xue Buqi said: "After filling in the gunpowder, you can shoot the gunpowder out by pulling the rope. The disadvantage is that the range is relatively short, and the advantage is that it can be produced quickly and kills at close range. Strong force."
After Xue Buqi finished speaking, he signaled to a refiner to practice the use of fire guns, and then Li Xuan also personally started to experience it.
"Good stuff." Li Xuan caressed the firecrackers fondly: "Anything else?"
"Of course, your Majesty will come with me. The weapons inside are enough to change this battle." Xue Buqi said proudly.
To make these things, he and the refiners in the refinery workshop are destined to go down in history.
