The Invincible Sixth Prince

Before he knew it, the day had come for Emperor Wen to leave Shuobei.

However, before leaving Shuobei, Emperor Wen had one important thing to do.

For this purpose, Emperor Wen specially called Qin Liugan, and Qin Qihu also followed him happily.

When they arrived near the firearms workshop, Yun Zheng suddenly stopped leaving.

"what happened?"

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Zheng suspiciously, "You are not lying to me, are you?"

"No."

Yun Zheng shook his head slightly and glanced at the imperial guards accompanying him out of the corner of his eye.

Emperor Wen understood Yun Zheng's intention and immediately ordered: "Zhou Dai can follow, the rest of you, wait where you are!"

"Yes!"

All the imperial guards obeyed the order.

Old guy, you are quite aware!

Yun Zheng smiled in his heart, then raised his hand and beckoned: "Father, please!"

"You'd better let me see what I want to see!"

Emperor Wen gave a warning and walked forward.

Qin Liugan followed behind Emperor Wen, full of curiosity, "Sixth Prince, does it need to be kept so secret?"

"need!"

Yun Zheng said sternly: "It's not that I don't trust the people around my father, but the power of this thing is too great, and it must not fall into the hands of the enemy! So, I have to be cautious!"

"Yep!"

Qin Qihu immediately agreed, "Dad, you didn't see the power of this gunpowder when we used it to break the city. The enemy was so scared at that time! Even the captives from Dayue Kingdom, many people still think that the Sixth Prince will attract thunder to help him fight!"

"Call... Heavenly Thunder to help?"

Qin Liugan's face was filled with black lines, and he suddenly slapped Qin Qihu on the head again, "What Dayue Kingdom? Where is Dayue Kingdom now? Now there is only my Daqian's Northwest Protectorate!"

"Yes Yes……"

Qin Qihu smiled apologetically but cursed the old man in his heart.

Under the leadership of Yun Zheng, they finally arrived at the firearms workshop.

"See Your Majesty!"

As Emperor Wen arrived, all the soldiers saluted.

"No gift!"

Emperor Wen looked around and said to Yun Zheng with a smile: "This defense is quite tight!"

Looking at this tight defense, Emperor Wen couldn't help but become more curious.

What kind of treasure could make this rebellious son send so many elite soldiers to guard a workshop?

"There's nothing I can do. I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm just afraid of thieves thinking about it!"

Yun Zheng grinned and led them through the front line checkpoint.

After walking forward with Yun Zheng for a while, Emperor Wen couldn't help wondering, "Where is this workshop?"

"not yet."

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "This is just the outer perimeter. We have to walk about two hundred feet inside to see the workshop."

Periphery?

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Emperor Wen and Qin Liugan couldn't help but look at each other.

Is the defense just on the perimeter so tight?

Emperor Wen felt that the defense here was even tighter than that of his own palace!

The more this happened, the more curious they became.

As they continued to move forward, the mountain road became more rugged. Yun Zheng and Zhou Dai supported Emperor Wen on the left and right. Qin Qihu wanted to support Qin Liugan, but was pushed away by the old man.

Emperor Wen walked forward for a while, but only found some patrolling soldiers and did not feel that the defense inside was tighter.

"Are there secret guards in here?"

Emperor Wen asked Yun Zheng with a smile.

"Yes!"

Yun Zheng nodded, "These secret guards all have their own duties. It is inconvenient for them to show up and salute. I hope that the emperor will forgive me."

"Now that you mention it, I really can't wait to see this workshop!" Emperor Wen's eyes flashed with a gleam.

I don’t know what kind of magical weapon this is that makes Yun Zheng attach so much importance to it.

Going a little further, they finally arrived at the door of the firearms workshop.

When we got here, the number of people openly defending increased significantly.

Yun Zheng explained some precautions and then took them into the firearms workshop.

With the arrival of Emperor Wen, all the craftsmen stopped their work and saluted respectfully.

Emperor Wen waved his hand casually and was about to look around, but his attention was attracted by a person.

"Zhang Xu?"

Emperor Wen looked at Zhang Xu in surprise, "You are here too?"

Zhang Xu hurriedly ran out of the crowd and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, it was His Majesty the Sixth Prince who asked me to come and help see if the equipment in the firearms workshop can be improved..."

"Zhang Xu should take the primary credit for the establishment of this workshop." Yun Zheng also chimed in.

"Is it?"

Emperor Wen was surprised, and looked at Zhang Xu with approval, "You are really a talented boy!"

"Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Zhang Xu quickly answered modestly.

"Okay, then follow me around and take a look."

Emperor Wen chuckled and started walking around the workshop.

Soon, Emperor Wen was attracted by those strange-shaped bird guns.

In addition, there are various kinds of pipes inside, except for a very few qualified ones, most of them are defective products.

"Are these the magic weapons you mentioned?"

Emperor Wen didn't understand these things and felt that they posed no threat at all.

"I will demonstrate it to you later."

Yun Zheng smiled, "These things need to be used together with gunpowder to exert their power."

"Is it?"

Emperor Wen picked up a scrapped bird gun and took a look at it, but couldn't see anything special about it, so he had to put it aside.

"What is this?"

Emperor Wen's eyes fell on a small cannon.

“This is called a cannon.”

Yun Zheng explained: "The technology is not mature yet, it is easy to explode, and it is too small and not very powerful. It is basically useless. It is only used to improve the technology."

Emperor Wen smiled and asked no more questions.

Soon, Emperor Wen took a tour of the firearms workshop.

Apart from the fact that the things here were a little strange, he had no interest in them.

He just wanted to see how powerful what Yun Zheng was talking about was.

Yun Zheng knew what Emperor Wen was thinking, so he followed the person in charge of the workshop to get some gunpowder and bullets, and asked Zhang Xu to help him get the best bird gun currently made.

Soon, Yun Zheng brought Emperor Wen and the others outside.

After asking a soldier to take off his armor and place him a hundred feet away, Yun Zheng began to load gunpowder bullets into the musket.

Their bird guns are fired with flint, so there is no need for a match to ignite them.

Yun Zheng signaled Emperor Wen and the others to step back a little, then he raised his musket and aimed it at the armor.

"boom!"

Along with the sound of a gunshot, a cloud of smoke rose around the bird gun and a strong smell of gunpowder spread.

"Bring me the armor!"

Yun Zheng gave an order, and a soldier immediately ran over with armor and presented it to Yun Zheng respectfully.

Emperor Wen and his companions immediately came over curiously.

Soon, they found a small hole in the armor.

Looking at the small hole above, Emperor Wen and Qin Liugan couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

It can actually penetrate armor from a hundred feet away?

Although this is not a top-grade armor, it is extremely rare to be able to penetrate it at such a long distance.

After all, how many people can wear high-quality armor on the battlefield?

However, the bird gun did not give them much shock.

After all, the range of the heavy crossbows on the city walls is much longer than this.

Moreover, under the arrows of the heavy crossbow cart, both men and horses can be shot directly through.

"This power doesn't seem to be that great!"

Qin Liu smacked his lips and said, "If I had a bow, I could shoot through armor from a hundred feet away!"

"..."

Yunzheng was speechless.

And shoot through armor from a hundred feet away?

With Qin Liugan's arm strength, he believed that he could shoot through armor from fifty feet away.

As for being able to shoot through armor from a hundred feet away, that's pure bragging.

"Stop bragging!"

Emperor Wen glared at Qin Liugan with a smile, then said to Yun Zheng: "Although this thing is also a sharp weapon, it seems to be more troublesome to use. I'd better think about how you can use this gunpowder to blow open the city gate..."
