From eunuch to emperor

Huaqing Pool.

There was a light rain in the sky, and the summer heat subsided a lot.

The empress was sitting under the eaves, listening to the sound of rain outside, while Yingfeng was making tea beside her.

One of the pleasures of the ancients was listening to the rain.

Sitting under the eaves, sipping tea, listening to the sound of rain, watching the misty rain in the distance, let your thoughts float freely, and stay in a daze for a while.

Yingfeng poured a cup of tea, the empress took a sip, and said, "You don't need to accompany me during this time, and you can handle things well with Long Chengen."

The Tianxiahui will be dealt with soon, the most important thing now is to cooperate with the West Factory to ambush.

Yingfeng said: "My minister obeys the order."

Putting down the teapot, Yingfeng was about to go out when Di Wan'er came in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, a letter from Linglong Pavilion, saying that Dazhu Kingdom invited you to see a new weapon."

The Empress put down her teacup, slightly surprised and said, "What do you want me to see in person?"

Last time Long Chen worked out the Bed Crossbow and God Arm Bow, he didn't say he wanted the Empress to see it in person, this time it was so grand, could it be stronger than the Bed Crossbow?

Di Wan'er shook her head and said, "There is only one reporter from Linglong Pavilion, and she doesn't know."

The empress didn't ask too much, the things Long Chen wanted her to see on the spot must be great.

"Let's go and see what good things Long Chengen has tinkered with."

The empress stood up smiling, she was always looking forward to Long Chen's affairs.

"You don't have to go, do your own business."

Yingfeng led the order to retreat, accompanied by Di Wan'er.

The Empress didn't do any honors, so she took a carriage to Linglong Pavilion.

The carriage soon arrived at Linglong Pavilion, Long Chen and Gongsun Linglong immediately came out to greet him.

At this time, Gongsun Linglong changed into a dress, which was less revealing.

"My minister pays homage to the Holy Majesty."

The Empress got down from the carriage, and asked with a smile, "What good things do you want me to come and see in person?"

Before Long Chen could speak, Gongsun Linglong said first: "My lord, Long Chengen has built a wine jar, please go and see the power."

The empress and Di Wan'er were both stunned, they were still discussing along the way, saying what powerful thing Long Chen would make, after a long time, it turned out to be a wine jar?

"Long Cheng'en, you have brewed a jar of wine and invited me to come and taste the wine?"

The Empress joked.

Long Chen smiled awkwardly: "My lord, don't listen to her nonsense, Wei Chen invented a new type of weapon, a very powerful one!"

The Empress smiled and said: "That's right, if you let me come over to taste wine, I will punish you severely."

Long Chen secretly smiled and said: Punishment?bed?Or on the imperial couch?

"I don't dare, my Majesty please."

Long Chen led the way, and the empress and Di Wan'er entered the weapon testing field in the back mountain.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the hot air from the Linglong Pavilion mixed with the water vapor, the mountain was very stuffy, and the Empress was sweating all over.

Gongsun Linglong immediately ordered his subordinates to make a cold drink.

The empress glanced around and saw a wine jar in the field, and asked, "Is that your new weapon?"

Long Chen replied: "Exactly."

Di Wan'er watched from a distance, and said with a smile: "Da Zhuguo, you really brewed a new bar? Could it be that you want to get drunk to kill the enemy?"

The Empress smiled and said, "It's possible."

Long Chen chuckled, didn't answer, but said in his heart: You two brats, I'll clean you up next time!

A female officer came over with a bowl of iced drink.

Gongsun Linglong took it and presented it: "My lord, it's hot here, please have a bowl of cold drink."

The empress took it, and there was diced fruit in a thin layer of ice crystals, and the empress drank a bowl.

"You still have ice here, which was chiseled by the spring lake?"

The empress thought it was ice cubes stored in winter.

Gongsun Linglong smiled and said: "No, Long Chengen used saltpeter to make ice, it was made temporarily."

The empress was surprised and said, "Is it made temporarily?"

Gongsun Linglong said proudly, "I'll demonstrate it to the Holy One."

Gongsun Linglong asked his subordinates to bring water tanks and iron buckets, and added saltpeter to the water. The water temperature dropped sharply, and a layer of ice quickly formed in the iron buckets.

The empress reached out and fished out some ice crystals, and said in surprise, "How can this be done?"

Di Wan'er was surprised: "Da Zhuguo, how do you know that saltpeter can make ice?"

Long Chen said with a smile: "Because I am knowledgeable and talented."

The empress fiddled with the ice crystals and asked, "Is this saltpeter just for making ice?"

Gongsun Linglong shook her head, pointed to the jar in the rain, and said, "It's for building new weapons."

The queen felt a little interesting.

The summer rain passed quickly, Long Chen went to the venue, asked someone to put a few dummies next to the jar, put on tattered clothes, put a few more dummies at three meters away, and put a few more dummies at ten meters away .

After placing the dummy, Long Chen opened the lid of the wine jar, lit the incense sticks, and then ran back.

"Everyone stay away, don't get close! Find a place to cover!"

Long Chen scolded, the women onlookers backed away one after another, looking for a place to hide.

Long Chen bowed: "My lord, please watch from behind the wall, this thing is very dangerous."

The Empress smiled and didn't care too much.

Even throwing knives and poisonous darts can't hurt the Empress, let alone a wine jar.

However, the empress still entered the room and looked out the window.

Time passed, the letter incense was burned out, and the ten catties of gunpowder at the bottom of the jar was ignited.

boom!

There was a loud explosion, the jar exploded, thick smoke came out, and fragments shot out.

Di Wan'er was taken aback, thinking that there was thunder in the sky.

The three dummies surrounded by the jar were blown up, their clothes burned, the dummy three meters away fell down, and the dummy ten meters away was still standing.

Long Chen frowned, slightly disappointed: "It's not powerful enough!"

The ancient technology is not good enough, although Long Chen tried his best to improve the purity of the black powder, and also carried out granulation treatment to make the combustion more fully and quickly, but the final effect is still not ideal.

The empress walked out of the room quickly, and when she arrived at the place where the jar was placed, she found a hole in the ground.

This place is specially used for horse racing and testing weapons, and the ground is very hard.

Such a hard ground actually exploded a hole, and the Empress was shocked.

The clothes of several human dummies surrounding the jar were still burning, and the wood inside was blown apart.

The dummy at three meters was overturned by the air waves, and the pottery and iron pieces pierced the wood.

The dummy at ten meters, also had splinters piercing the wood.

"If we stand around..."

Di Wan'er felt terrified.

Gongsun Linglong came over, stared at the black marks on the ground, and cursed angrily: "Long Cheng'en, you still said you want to marry me, you want to kill me, you didn't tell me about such a dangerous and terrifying thing in advance!"

Gongsun Linglong was frightened by the explosives.

The female workers in Linglong Pavilion were also frightened. They didn't know that the things they were tinkering with were so terrifying.

"My God, I made that jar."

A female worker felt weak in her legs, this thing is too scary.

In the past, the power of bows, crossbows and swords depended on the person who used them, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

But this explosive, after being ignited, does not need to be operated, and it can exert terrifying power by itself, which is very scary.

Long Chen finally walked in, knelt down to check the ground, and looked at the dummy's injuries, shook his head and sighed: "We still have to find a way to increase the power."

The empress and others looked at Long Chen with astonished eyes.

Di Wan'er said: "Dazhu Kingdom, how much power do you want? Is this not enough?"
