Nalan Jinnian left the palace and saw Guo Mingyan at the palace gate handing out a sign and preparing to enter the palace.
Guo Mingyan got wind of it and found out that he had entered the palace, so she rushed over immediately just to have a chance encounter with him.
The queen was her biological aunt and gave her the privilege to enter the palace at any time and ask for an audience.
At this moment, when she saw the handsome Nalan Jinnian, riding a horse from the palace, galloping towards her, she couldn't help but blush.
She immediately stepped aside and saluted: "Mingyan has met King Jin."
The emperor granted her a marriage, and he was already her future husband. Thinking of this, she was filled with joy and her face turned red.
Nalan Jinnian didn't even look at her, he didn't slow down but went faster, and rode away directly.
A gust of cold wind blew past her, blowing the red cloak on her body. Guo Mingyan felt a bit of coldness blowing towards her face.
Guo Mingyan trembled all over, looking at his indifferent and distant figure, her face became increasingly pale in the autumn wind.
Although he had been cold and distant towards him before, he was not completely ignoring her like this.
In other words, just make a fool of yourself
Thinking of the scene where he got along with that peasant girl, all the indifference and alienation in him receded.
There was a feeling of fear in her heart, and she felt that he would never belong to her in the future.
She was secretly glad that her family had the emperor's edict. She acted coquettishly to her grandfather, and he finally agreed to ask the emperor for a decree to grant her marriage.
Although she begged her grandfather to exchange the emperor's edict for their marriage, she believed that this choice was not wrong!
He may not like himself now, but sooner or later he will discover the beauty of himself.
That peasant girl is not as good as herself in terms of appearance, family background, talent and learning. Why should she compare herself with herself? What do you compare yourself to
No matter what, this man is his!
She smiled thinking of tomorrow's test, she would be able to see him again tomorrow!
―――
Nalan Jinnian returned to Prince Jin's Mansion and stood in front of the window, with one hand hanging unnaturally and the other behind his back. He looked far into the distance with an indifferent expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, a carrier pigeon landed on the window lattice.
He grabbed it, took off the bamboo tube tied to his feet, released the pigeon, and then opened the letter.
Seventeen~…
Nalan Jinnian read the letter at a glance, and his icy eyes became even deeper.
Can anyone afford his things
He twisted his fingers, and the letter turned into a pile of dust and flew away in the wind.
"Lin Feng!"
―――
Autumn is the season of less rain, and yesterday there were a few scattered drops.
The next day, the sky over the capital was cloudless.
Royal Mounted Range
A bright yellow figure and a silver-gray figure stood side by side on the vast shooting range.
In front of them were five soldiers, each holding a twenty-shot repeating crossbow.
The general gave an order, and a hundred short and powerful arrows were shot out, and a "swish" sound was heard in the air, how crisp and sharp it was!
It’s heart-pounding!
One thousand meters away, all arrow targets were penetrated. Some of the arrows landed on the trees behind the target, striking three points into the wood!
"Okay!" The bright yellow figure shouted loudly, powerfully!
"A great country with heavy troops!"
"Magic weapon!"
"Miss Guo is really powerful. She is indeed a girl who came from the general's palace. She has the demeanor of an old general. She can make such a magic weapon, and she will not be outdone by women!"
Guo Mingyan smiled and said modestly: "I only completed part of it, the key part was completed by King Jin."
"King Jin is both civil and military, the best in the world..."
All the civil and military officials praised Nalan Jinnian again, and every word of praise seemed to be free of charge.
Nalan Jinnian said with a cold face: "It's not me, there is someone else."
Guo Mingyan's expression froze. Could it be that he gave all the credit to the peasant girl
The eldest prince looked at Nalan Jinnian, who was as handsome as a orchid tree standing next to the emperor, and felt extremely sad.
He was already forty years old. When he thought about his father, who was only in his fifties and in good health, and when he looked at his seventeenth uncle, who was about the same age as his son, his mood was simply - hard to describe!
At this moment, after hearing his words, my heart sank. Is there another capable person beside the Seventeenth Emperor
This seventeenth emperor's uncle is younger than himself, has more merits than himself, the ministers in the court have much confidence in him, he has the highest prestige among the people, and his father's love for him is unparalleled among so many sons.
He sometimes suspected that he was his father's biological son!
The eldest prince himself was picked up!
The most important thing is that he has many capable people and strangers around him, and now there is one more? Are you going to let people live
He raised his smile and said with a smile: "Uncle Seventeenth Emperor, I wonder who has such ability?"
"You don't deserve to know." Nalan Jinnian said calmly.
The eldest prince: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Deathly silence!
The eldest prince doesn’t deserve to know, so who deserves to know
No one immediately dared to ask any more questions.
The eldest prince's smile froze, but he soon regained his smile and said nonchalantly: "With these magical weapons, my Nalan country is safe. God bless my Nalan country!"
Everyone quickly echoed:
"God bless our Nalan Kingdom! These magical weapons are here to protect our Nalan Kingdom. Long live, long live, long live!"
All the civil and military officials of the court knelt down and said: "Long live Nalan Kingdom, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live..."
The eldest prince looked sinister when no one could see him.
The expressions of the other princes are also very exciting.
Emperor Nalan touched his beard, with a smile on his majestic face: "Haha... OK! Haha..."
Then the military attache gave an order:
"Prepare the next repeating crossbow!"
Several people quickly left and another group of people came on.
This repeating crossbow is relatively large and cannot be controlled by a single soldier, but it is a powerful weapon for attacking cities and territories.
The arrow target has been removed, and the six soldiers pushed the sixty-arrow repeating crossbow, which was huge, like an eagle with spread wings, to a thick city wall one thousand meters away.
All the civil and military officials of the dynasty looked at this behemoth and talked a lot.
"What is this?"
"A repeating crossbow? So big and bulky? What use can it be?"
"Isn't it convenient to operate on the battlefield?"
…
"shoot!"
Give an order.
Sixty arrows pierced the void and penetrated the thick city wall a thousand meters away with an unstoppable and devastating force.
"One, two, three..." Before anyone could finish counting, there was a bang, and suddenly the entire thick city wall exploded, and then the three square meters of city wall collapsed!
Everyone: "..."
So this is what this wall is used for
Is this going to blow up the city walls? !
This... what a powerful magic weapon this is? !
With such a magical weapon, if anyone dares to invade their Nalan Kingdom again, they will go straight to Huanglong and take possession of them!
"How many arrows are there in this repeating crossbow?" Why couldn't he count
"Sixty!" Li Bing from the Military Academy pretended to be calm.
There was a sound of gasping!
sixty? Wasn't that a hail of arrows
"This arrow was shot on the city wall and the city wall collapsed. What if it was shot on the enemy army? How lethal would it be?"
Everyone was silent for a while.
Everyone was so excited as they thought of something, and they were so excited that they couldn't speak.
