Chapter 181 The Princess arrives
The deadline set by Feng Chengzhu will arrive soon. In fact, half a month ago, the three parties, the Lin family, the Wang family and the Nuyue Gang, had handed over the improved crystal cannon array drawings and the functions of the crystal cannon to the city owner's house. Judging from the drawings alone, the three parties not only solve the heat dissipation, range and other problems of the Zhongxia crystal cannon, but also have their own characteristics. The cannon of the Lin family has improved the ammunition formula and mixed greenstone with ordinary gunpowder, which greatly reduces the cost. The cannon of the Wang family has strengthened the protective cover, which is said to be able to block the joint attack of more than ten good masters in the middle of refining. The cannon of the Nuyue Gang is claimed to be able to shoot six times in a row, and it only takes ten seconds to dissipate heat in the middle. Zhong...
Seeing this, Feng Chengzhu was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night. He reported the book to the capital overnight and immediately went to the sky to listen to it, which attracted the attention of the senior officials. In this crystal cannon identification, two great weapons refiners were specially sent, and there were dozens of master guards, which was full of stage.
After Feng Chao was busy, it took him a day to settle down the people from Beijing. He wanted to visit the two masters in person, but he was politely invited out. He was a little depressed and flipped through the books in the room after dinner. At this moment, the family came to report, "Master, someone from Beijing is asking for a meeting!"
"Please!" Feng Chao thought to himself that the temper of the master was really different. He rushed to visit him, and now he ran over by himself. But there was no way. Who would let others have a high status? Feng Chao hurriedly straightened up and greeted him.
At this time, with the bright stars, coupled with the Chenfa lantern under the eaves, Feng Chao can see very clearly. Oncoming is a stunning beauty in light yellow clothes, mature, noble and generous, dressed simply and decently. Although the curve is perfect, the towering place is magnificent, and the upturned place is quite beautiful, but that The majesty and momentum of staying in power for a long time make people dare not face it, let alone appreciate it. The two people behind her, one is about 40 years old, with a silver face, and the other is no more than 30 years old. They are both dressed in a refiner's robe, and the gold on their chest is eye-catching.
"Princess?" Feng Chao was shocked, and his legs couldn't help trembling. He took two steps and came forward to pay a salute: "See the princess Qiansui!"
"Master Feng, please get up." Nalan Lingqi smiled kindly and elegantly, "Are you surprised?"
"Princess Luan drove here. I really don't know. I hope you can forgive me for being neglected." Feng Chao said in a low voice.
"Of course, I won't blame you. I came here secretly, and I don't know much about it. I am very happy to hear that Gusu City has made a major breakthrough in crystal cannons! In three days, it will be the day of delivery of samples, and I will watch it myself! If it is really as the report says, equip it immediately in Gusu and Dijing!"
"Your Highness, this..." Hearing that Nalan Lingqi was going to stay for a few days, Feng Chao's heart sank. Now there is a surging dark current inside and outside the court, many princes support their own troops, and the strength of the Sun family in Jiangnan is also very strong. It seems that Nalan Lingqi must use Gu Su as a nail wedge into the other party's chest. However, as the number one person in control of the huge empire, how many people are staring at her? Can a little aunt, with such a small army, be foolproof?
Of course, Nalan Lingqi knew what he was thinking and smiled and said, "What? It's so late, how long will the lord of the city have to wait outside?
"Ah, no, no..." Feng Chao quietly wiped the sweat off his forehead and hurriedly let the three into the study. The rest of the guards firmly guarded the door.
"What on earth did the Nuyue Gang come from?" As soon as Nalan Lingqi sat down, before the tea was ready, she asked.
Feng Chao smiled bitterly. He knew that his highness knew that there should be more than himself, but he still bravely said, "Your Highness, according to my understanding, this angry moon gang is a gang in the East China Sea, and then transferred to the south of the Yangtze River. Cheng Mingying, the master, is unknown, but his strength has reached the peak level of refining gods. There are also rumors that there is also a mysterious saint in their gang. The Storm Group and the Situ family in Qingyang City were convinced by the Nuyue Gang and included them under their banner. The Wang family, the Lin family, and many Jiangnan families who have a deep relationship with Situ looked sideways, but no one dared to interfere.
Nalan Lingqi nodded. The information she got was almost the same as Feng Chao. The Nuyue Gang was born, * there are too few information. If "huntong" hadn't found that the Sun family had sent people to secretly contact the Nuyue Gang, he would not have investigated and learned about them.
"I heard that the Nuyue Gang has been very close to the Du family. What is the relationship? I heard that Shangguan Fengyun's daughter has returned to Gusu, but is there such a matter?
Feng Chao nodded: "That's true. Shangguan Yuewei and her maid, who seemed to be called Xiuer, joined the Nuyue Gang. At the beginning, Nuyue Gang participated in the bidding, which was recommended by Du Chengfeng.
"Shangguan Yuewei, Zhou Yi and others went to the miracle forest, and then disappeared, and then the news came that he made a scene in Risang. After that, there was no information.
"At present, I don't see what the Nuyue Gang has to do with Zhou Yi, but they have a chief refiner surnamed Zhou."
The young man sitting at the head flashed and couldn't help saying, "What's his name? How many steps?" Suddenly, I remembered that it was a little rude to make such an intervention and looked at Nalan Lingqi worriedly.
Nalan Lingqi didn't care, but said, "Master Feng, this is Huang Renjie, a fifth-order refiner." He took another look at the middle-aged man, "This is Liu Feng, the sixth-order refiner of the imperial government."
High-order refiner! Taoist Xuanmen! With such a loud name and such a handsome young man, Feng Chao couldn't help standing up and saluted, "I've been looking forward to you for a long time!" I have met two masters!" The two also hurriedly stood up to return the gift.
Huang Renjie found that Nalan Lingqi did not blame himself for interrupting. He was extremely happy and continued: "Master Feng Cheng, what does the refiner surnamed Zhou look like and what is his level?"
It is extraordinary to be a county guard and have the ability to observe words and colors. The yellow man looked at the princess's eyes, with fierce admiration in his respect, and the princess didn't care about his interference. Could it be the two of them... Feng Chao had a cold war in his heart and dared not think any further. He said, "This man is Zhou Xiaolong. He is not very old and handsome..." He described Zhou Yi's changed appearance in detail. All over.
Nalan Lingqi frowned. Obviously, from the perspective of appearance, this person is not Zhou Yi, but the possibility of changeability cannot be ruled out.
......
When Princess Chitose was talking to the city lord, Zhou Yi was using a silk scarf, carefully wiping the shiny gun body, and suddenly sneezing several times. Xiuer was beside him and said worried, "Brother, I haven't slept so much these days. Don't be too busy to ruin your body!"
"I'm fine. Maybe someone misses me again." Zhou Yi smiled, narrowed his eyes, and appreciated his refining works like a peerless beauty - a cannon emitting metal light.
It's really a small cannon. Compared with the crystal cannon of the Charles Empire, it is one-third smaller, half smaller than that of Zhongxia, about twice as large as 40 rocket launchers, and more bases made of heavenly grain steel mixed obsidian. It is densely covered with charm and seal lines, and you can know at a glance that it is not ordinary.
"The president's production must be a boutique!" Geyuan Xianger personally tested the cannon in a canyon in Cuiping Mountain, and did not hesitate to spare his beautiful words, "I have never seen such a crystal cannon. It can fire six bombs in a row without dissipation!"
"That's natural!" Zhou Yikou boasted, "As a cannon, the biggest advantage is that it will last for a long time!"
He said and stood up, but saw that Xiang'er and sleeves closest to him were biting their lips lightly, and their watery eyes seemed to be strange, and the Huaxia girls next to him also blushed and covered their mouths and smiled secretly. They suddenly remembered their slip of the tongue. They couldn't help laughing awkwardly and said, "I'm telling the truth!"
Xiang'er couldn't help running out of the door with a smile and said, "Who cares whether your facts are true or not? Let's tell this to Xiuer alone!"
......
The test site for the three crystal cannons is an unknown peak in Yuxiu Mountain. The reason why it is nameless is that there is no beautiful scenery that Jiangnan people like, but the mountains are steep and there is a strong western wind. Now everyone is located on a platform at the top of the mountain, the size of two football fields. The three peaks are several miles away. Only the southern mountain is relatively close, and the farthest distance is about 800 meters. The trees are sparse, and the effect is clear at a glance.
At this time, the Nuyue Gang, Wang, Lin, and the city owner's mansion have arrived. In addition, there are also famous Gusu families and countless gangs who were invited. Because of the strong wind on the top of the mountain, the platform faces the south with many simple colored sheds and is divided into single rooms, which not only serves as a windshield, but also does not affect the viewing of the test.
Zhou Yi especially noticed that the three color sheds in the middle were hung with a layer of bead curtains, which were beautiful, but they could not be seen clearly. However, more than a dozen outside guards are all good hands above the middle of the refining period, and there is a strange old man who is deep and restrained, and his cultivation should have reached the level of Hedao. He couldn't help wondering, "Who on earth did the lord of Feng invite?"
After a careful look for a while, and then looked not far away, the head of the Wang family arrived in person. In addition to the guard family, there were also Wang Ming, who was worried about it, and two young people in their 30 years old. On the Lin family's side, Lin Ya actually followed Lin Jiang. In addition, there was also the deputy patriarch Lin Zhong, the fifth old man Lin Lie, standing behind the Lin family's father and daughter with a blank face.
Feng Chao faced the fierce mountain wind and looked down. He saw that the canyon was deep. He couldn't help but feel dizzy. He hurried back a few steps, and his mouth was faintly bitter. According to his vision, although the cannon is powerful and has a long range, the main campus of the City Guard is enough to be repaired even if it causes damage to the ground and some buildings. Who knows that these two eventous refiners have to choose such a place. That's the princess of the golden body! Once there was something wrong... Thinking of this, he couldn't help fighting a cold war and used summoning crystals to strictly alert the city guards guarding the entrance of Yuxiu Mountain. For the commanders of the marching troops outside the city and the Huxiao Army, he also repeatedly stressed the strengthening of patrols to prevent changes.
More than 20 minutes later, the officials, family members, big businessmen, etc. have arrived and sat down, centered on Nalan Lingqi's pearl curtain door, forming an arc facing the south. Of course, everyone didn't know what was inside the bead curtain, and couldn't help speculating. Coupled with the wind, the noise at the scene was still not small.
"Dear lords, friends from all walks of life, please be quiet!" Feng Chao coughed lightly, "In today's mainland, crystal technology is developing rapidly. The Charles Empire and the Rizang Empire have made their own achievements, but I fall behind the two, which is really a shame for my generation. Fortunately, the masters of Gusu City finally made a breakthrough in crystal cannons after a month of hard work. Today, we will witness this grand event! I announce that the Gusu Artillery Conference will begin now!"
