The Invincible Sixth Prince

Yun Zheng hugged Ye Zi affectionately for a while, and Jia Yao finally finished washing and came out.

The clothes Xin Sheng brought to Jia Yao were from Daqian.

After changing into Daqian's clothes, Jiayao looked more feminine.

"Let's go!"

Yun Zheng pulled Ye Zi to stand up and said, "It's almost dark, it's time to go eat."

Jia Yao walked up to Yun Zheng, bit her thin lips and said, "How do you want me to exchange the crop you told me about?"

"Let's talk about it later!"

Yun Zheng rubbed his head and said, "If you want to trade with me now, I definitely won't! We haven't even planted our own seeds yet, how can it be your turn?"

"You planted it, didn't you?"

Jia Yao was somewhat unwilling.

"These sprouted when I brought them back. It would be a waste if we don't plant them." Yun Zheng pointed his mouth towards the hot spring. "It's a question whether the ones planted here can survive this winter, let alone harvest."

"..."

Jia Yao opened her mouth slightly, hesitated for a long time, and still didn't decide to continue asking for it.

As long as Yun Zheng doesn't directly refuse, there is hope for this matter.

We’ll talk about it later!

Right now, the most important thing is to deal with the northern barbarians.

Let’s solve this important matter first and then talk about other things.

When they returned to the camp, Shen Luoyan and the others had already prepared the food and were heating it up.

Although they have been staying here for the past few days, they didn't deliberately prepare any special meals for them.

They all eat from a big pot in the kitchen.

The food at the military academy is pretty good most of the time.

But every few days the food would be very bad, even worse than that of ordinary laborers.

This was something Yun Zheng specifically instructed.

If you can eat good food, you can also eat bad food.

We can’t feed these students good food and drink all day long and make their tastes picky.

When you are on the battlefield, it is good enough to have enough food to eat. How can there be such good food?

Seeing them come back, Xin Sheng quickly brought the hot food to the table.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you before, when do you think the northern barbarians might launch an attack?"

They were eating when Jia Yao suddenly said something.

"..."

Yun Zheng was speechless. He suddenly had the urge to pin Jia Yao to the ground and beat her up. "Can you please have a good meal first? You're not leaving right after dinner, so there's no need to be so anxious, right?"

Is it true that he spends every three sentences talking about state affairs?

Can't we have something else besides state affairs?

Jia Yao smiled awkwardly, "Didn't I just suddenly remember it?"

"Let's eat first!"

Yun Zheng said this indifferently and continued eating.

Jia Yao glanced at Yun Zheng, said no more, and concentrated on eating.

In this world, it gets dark very early in Shuobei.

After dinner, Yun Jin went to bed early, but Yun Cang was still full of energy.

Jia Yao took the initiative to hand Yun Zheng a cup of tea and asked the same questions she had asked during the meal.

"I'm not the Barbarian King, how can I know so much?"

Yun Zheng took the tea and took a sip. "If you really want me to judge, I think it should be around the few days before and after last year!"

The enemy probably thought that was when they were most relaxed.

If we attack at that time, our chances of winning will be greater.

Of course, this is just his guess.

It is also possible that the enemy might predict his prediction and do the opposite to them.

He could only make a guess. Wouldn't it depend on Jia Yao to send people to investigate for the details?

If the northern barbarians were really crazy enough to raise an army of 300,000, it would be impossible for such a large number of people to escape detection by Jia Yao's men.

"I think pretty much the same as you."

Jia Yao said seriously: "We don't have much time left to prepare, so you should arrange it as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I'll send someone to pass the message tomorrow morning!"

Yun Zheng glanced at Jia Yao helplessly and said, "If you are really worried, you can send people to the northern barbarians and pretend to form an alliance with them, saying that they want to deal with me together, so as to find out their situation."

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Jia Yao's expression suddenly became strange.

Yun Zheng noticed that Jia Yao was acting strangely, and asked tentatively, "You haven't done this before, have you?"

"really."

Jia Yao's face was a little embarrassed. "Before winter came, I sent envoys to the northern barbarians, but until I set out to your side, those people had not returned. I guess they must have met with an accident..."

Is that so?

Yunzheng frowned secretly.

If all the envoys sent by Jiayao are killed, the battle with the northern barbarians will be unavoidable!

Yun Zheng felt annoyed at the thought of fighting in such a freezing cold weather.

……

Three days later, Zhang Xu and Mingyue rushed to the military academy with their children.

Zhang Xu also brought Yun Zheng a powerful weapon.

No, to be exact, it's a small killing weapon.

Tiger squat cannon!

However, in Yun Zheng's eyes, the power of this thing is too small.

But for Zhang Xu and the others, this thing is too powerful.

“Is this thing reliable?”

Yun Zheng asked Zhang Xu in a low voice, "Don't make a fuss later, or you'll make a fool of yourself."

Although Yun Zheng had ordered people to accumulate the technology of cannon casting by starting with making muskets, their technology was still immature.

But in order to let Jia Yao see the secret weapon in his hand, he had to take it out in advance.

"This one……"

Zhang Xu was a little unsure, "That shouldn't be the case, right? I've only tried it twice before, it shouldn't be so ineffective, right?"

To be honest, Zhang Xu was not sure either.

Previously, when he and Yun Zheng were tinkering with this thing in the firearms workshop, they had experienced a barrel explosion incident.

Fortunately, Yun Zheng anticipated that this thing might explode, so he lit it and ran away immediately.

Otherwise, they might have been killed by the weapons they had invented.

"Well, let's hope this cannon can hold up!"

Yun Zheng laughed at himself, feeling helpless.

Their cannon-casting skills are indeed a bit lacking.

Even such a small-caliber Tiger Crouching Cannon could explode, so he didn't know how long he would have to wait for the Red Cannon he had been dreaming of.

After whispering with Zhang Xu for a while, Yun Zheng and Zhang Xu officially started the filling work.

The loading of the Tiger Crouching Cannon is quite troublesome. Except for Yun Zheng and Zhang Xu, no one here knows how to load this thing.

After tinkering with it for a long time, the two finally managed to load the Tiger Crouching Cannon.

About 130 feet away from the Tiger Crouching Cannon, a group of wooden stakes were erected to simulate enemy troops.

Yun Zheng adjusted the angle and signaled everyone to step back.

It was not until everyone had retreated twenty feet away that Yun Zheng stopped them and asked someone to bring him torches.

"呲呲..."

After lighting the fuse, Yun Zheng immediately ran away swiftly.

If this thing explodes, don't worry about being embarrassed or not, the most important thing is not to hurt yourself.

Under the gaze of everyone, the fuse burned rapidly.

"boom……"

An explosion like thunder was heard, and dense bullets shot towards the wooden stakes.

In an instant, dust and wood chips flew everywhere.

Yun Zheng and Zhang Xu looked at each other silently and smiled at the same time.

Fortunately, it didn’t explode!

Otherwise it would be very embarrassing!

Before Yun Zheng could say anything, Jia Yao couldn't wait to run forward to check the condition of the wooden pile...
