A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Shen Qingqian said: "Of course I have never seen the real person, I just saw it in a miscellaneous book, and it described it like this."

Zhao Yifeng didn't quite believe what Shen Qingqian said, but he didn't think Shen Qingqian had ever seen those monsters with her own eyes.

Yes, the people of Dai Viet called those with blond hair and blue eyes "demons".

However, Zhao Yifeng was more concerned about another thing. He asked, "So, did the book you read mention the weapons used by those monsters?"

"weapon?"

"Yes! It's weapons! The weapons in the demons' hands are very powerful, almost two feet long, and can make a bloody hole when hitting someone from a hundred meters away, and it can kill people in one blow.

Have you read any books that mention this kind of weapon?"

Shen Qingqian understood that Zhao Yifeng was talking about rifles. It turned out that there were Westerners in this world, and they had invented muskets!

Of course Shen Qingqian was most familiar with guns, and the guns she had held were many times more advanced than the guns used by Westerners today!

Seeing Zhao Yifeng's expectant expression, Shen Qingqian said, "Yes, it's mentioned. There are pictures on it! I roughly know what it looks like."

Zhao Yifeng was shocked. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, I'll draw it for you when we get back later."

Zhao Yifeng was a little excited and couldn't wait to say: "Okay, let's go now."

Shen Qingqian was quite interested in what Zhao Yifeng said. She wanted to know more about the general situation of this world, so she shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I will go back and draw it for you later.

First, tell me how the matter in Xijiang was resolved. Also, what does what you just said have to do with Yulin Peak? "

Hearing Shen Qingqian say this, Zhao Yifeng had to suppress his inner restlessness and continue talking to her.

"In his memorial, Lord Cao, the governor of Xijiang County, described the enemy's weapons in great detail, which forced the court to pay attention.

So I sent my fifth brother and seventh uncle to check the situation. Oh, my seventh uncle is the current King Xiaoyao. "

"Has Zhao Yichen been there?"

Shen Qingqian was a little surprised. She had never heard Zhao Yichen mention this matter!

"Well, I heard from my fifth brother that when they went there, before they even reached the government office, they happened to encounter a demon who was robbing the common people when they passed by a small town.

Those people came by boat, only about 30 to 50 people, but they relied on the weapons in their hands and were very arrogant. They directly fought with the Fifth Brother and his people.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than fifty of our men were killed by their weapons.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the fifth brother took action personally and captured their leader alive.

The Seventh Prince Uncle led his men to burn their boats, cutting off their retreat.

The monsters finally surrendered and handed over their weapons.

But in the end, the Seventh Prince still killed all the monsters. In order to save their lives, the captured monster leaders said they were willing to hand over their weapons.

So he drew a blueprint of the weapon and wrote down the steps to make it, but the words on the blueprint were completely incomprehensible.

The leader of the demons could only speak a few words of Dai Viet and could not write our characters at all, so the fifth brother and his men escorted him back to Beijing.

But after returning to the court, the problem was still not solved, because there was no one in the court who could recognize the words written by the evil man.

There is no other way, we can only keep the demon leader and let him make the weapons himself.

The demon leader chose Yulin Peak behind Shenjia Village and began to make weapons.

Shen Qingqian was puzzled and asked: "But why is it Yulin Peak?"

Zhao Yifeng said: "Because the demon leader said that in addition to iron, they also need two most important materials to make their weapons. He searched every mountain in the capital, but couldn't find what he needed.

Just when we thought he was deliberately shirking responsibility, he said he had found the materials he needed on Yulin Peak, and that he had both types. In order to make it easier to use local materials, he also set up the location for making weapons on Yulin Peak.

Shen Qingqian roughly guessed what the two materials were, they should be saltpeter and sulfur. I never thought that there was such a thing in Yulin Peak?

I just don’t know if they made the musket?

"What happened next? Was the weapon successfully made?"

Although Shen Qingqian asked this, she felt that it was probably not done. First, she had never heard of the Great Yue Kingdom having such a thing as a gun. Second, if it really existed, would the Great Yue Kingdom still need to be afraid of the Northern Rong? It is also possible to flatten the Northern Rong.

Sure enough, Zhao Yifeng said, "We had already successfully made one, and when the court was preparing to manufacture a large number of them, the leader of the demons died."

"died?"

“Well, the man died, the drawings and manufacturing methods of the weapon disappeared, and the court’s plan to mass-produce it was aborted.

My fifth brother was unwilling to give up. He kept thinking about retrieving the blueprints and then finding someone who could read the monster's writing so that he could make weapons.

However, I went to Yulin Peak several times in secret, but I couldn't find the blueprints. Instead, I was assassinated twice."

Listening to Zhao Yifeng's story, Shen Qingqian remembered that she had picked up Zhao Yichen's sword when she first went up the mountain. At that time, Zhao Yichen must have been assassinated and had just fought with the enemy, so he left the sword there.

There was also that time when Zhao Yichen brought the injured Zhao Yifeng to her room. They must have been assassinated while they were looking for clues.

She said, "The person who assassinated you is also looking for the blueprints, and his identity is not ordinary?"

Zhao Yifeng said: "Well, my fifth brother and I both suspect it was the seventh uncle."

Shen Qingqian asked: "Is that the King Xiaoyao? What is his current situation?"

Zhao Yifeng said, "Prince Xiaoyao accidentally shot the crown prince with an arrow while hunting in the early winter of last year, and the crown prince was almost killed. He was driven back to his fiefdom by the emperor and was not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned."

At this point, the matter was probably clear. Shen Qingqian and Zhao Yifeng returned to the inn together.

Shen Qingqian found paper and pen, and under Zhao Yifeng's expectant gaze, she drew the shape of a rifle.

Zhao Yifeng took the blueprint and examined it carefully, then said, "It's roughly like this, but it's a little different from what the demon drew. Yours is more complicated."

Shen Qingqian said perfunctorily: "It's normal to have some discrepancies. It's possible that I don't remember the original appearance of the book clearly, or it's possible that the one in the miscellaneous book is different from the one drawn by the demon. Aren't the swords used by each of you different?"

"Yes, yes, you are right!"

Zhao Yifeng agreed with Shen Qingqian's statement. He felt that Shen Qingqian was really knowledgeable and good in every way. He admired Shen Qingqian from the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly he thought of something and asked, "By the way, is there any description of how to make this weapon in the miscellaneous books you have read?"

"no!"

Shen Qingqian denied it without hesitation. Are you kidding? She would never cause trouble for herself!
