The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

"and many more!"

As the two brothers and sisters continued to discuss, Zhang Xiaolan couldn't stand it anymore. She raised her hand and stopped the discussion from continuing!

"What are these matchlocks and flintlocks you were talking about?"

After she said this, Wang Yuanya and the eldest senior brother looked at her in surprise.

Originally, compared with the people of Qingzhou, they both felt that they were very backward.

What I didn’t expect was…

It turns out there are people who are even more behind the times than them!

Come to think of it, she was a palace maid in the Great Qi Dynasty, and when she came to the rebel army, she was just a palace maid beside the "Queen of Palace Maids".

How could she possibly get access to knowledge about firearms outside?

What’s more, it is a firearm that has only appeared in recent years?

As a last resort, the brother and sister could only patiently explain to the sister the difference between a matchlock rifle and a flintlock rifle.

When Zhang Xiaolan realized that the hair-crushing gun didn't need to be ignited, but could generate sparks and ignite on its own...

She was beyond shocked!

Zhang Xiaolan suddenly thought of a very, very terrifying possibility. "Based on the weapons used by the Qin Wang Guards that we saw while lurking in the Qin Wang Mansion..."

After hearing this, Yan Anxun and Wang Yuanya thought about it carefully and they both thought of a terrible possibility.

That is...

The Qin army’s weapons have been upgraded again!

They used neither the old matchlock guns nor the flintlock guns that are now considered rare.

No one had ever seen this new weapon, and no one knew its power.

The most despising and infuriating problem is that after they paid so much, with so much gold, silver, and jewelry...

I suddenly realized that the things I was using might just be things that others didn't want or had discarded.

Just tell me how infuriating it is!

"Now I understand why... Li Jize is so generous and willing to sell firearms to our rebel army!"

Wang Yuanya sighed, somewhat helplessly.

Everyone was silent!

People are selfish. When you have the sword of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying Sword in your hand, would you be willing to share it with others?

Do you really think you are Hashirama?

For the sake of everyone's peace, generously share the tailed beasts?

Stop kidding, buddy!

There is only one possible reason why I would be willing to share the Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying Sword...

I have a laser sword in my hand!

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. If a person doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth! It's understandable that a selfish person like Li Jize would do this."

Zhang Xiaolan, feeling sour grapes, looked at the two men and asked in confusion, "However, where did these bandits get their flintlock rifles?"

"..."

"..."

Wang Yuanya and Yan Anxun were both silent, because this was a very difficult question to understand.

Could it be that these weapons were given to the bandits by the Qin army?

But why? This doesn't make sense!

The most logical possibility is that the bandits became rich after robbing, and they wanted to buy some weapons, so they must have bought the muskets that everyone is playing with now.

That is to say...

The muskets in the hands of the bandits were either bought from the barbarians or from the Qin army. There is even a possibility...

They bought it from the rebels!

If you think about it this way, how rude is that?

Doesn't this mean that no matter which of the three parties they purchased it from, it means...

Among these three groups, some people were corrupt and smuggled, selling weapons in their team to bandits!

"I think our current mission should be to find the source of these people's weapons! Secondly, we should find a way to win them over to our side!"

As the only male among the three, Yan Anxun quickly set the tone for the matter and gained the approval of his junior sister.

Zhang Xiaolan, standing by, felt like she didn't have any choice. She was already trapped here, so what else could she do except passively accept it?

As the three of them discussed their next move...

On the other side, Chen Xiaodao was also discussing with several of his bosses.

One of them, a one-eyed man wearing an eye patch, asked Chen Xiaodao with a puzzled look on his face, "Boss, I really don't understand! The King of Qin's mission for us was to kidnap that man and woman, and at most one more woman. But why... why do we have to capture the entire ship?"

"That's right! Do we have to support all the people on this ship?"

Facing the questions from his younger brothers, Chen Xiaodao gave an enigmatic smile and asked in return, "What is your purpose in arresting these three people?"

Many of the bosses and heads of the family were stunned. "Look at your question, how presumptuous! If we knew what the purpose was, I wouldn't be the King of Qin."

"You don't know, right?"

"Could it be that the boss knows?"

"I do not know either!"

"Hi!"

I originally thought he was pretending to be a big shot, but I didn't expect this guy to poop a big pile for everyone. Don't you know why you are pretending?

"It's precisely because you and I don't know the King of Qin's purpose. Who knows what this purpose is? So, for the sake of absolute safety and confidentiality! I think the best thing we can do is to wipe out everyone on this ship!"

"Oh!"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

Of course, there was one more thing Chen Xiaodao didn’t say, which was the unique identity of this “Wang Yuanya”.

They don’t know, but Chen Xiaodao knows!

God knows what the situation is now. If he only arrested Wang Yuanya and that man, how abrupt and presumptuous would that be?

Shouldn’t they let these two know clearly that they are coming for them?

In order to hide the ultimate purpose behind this, Chen Xiaodao chose to take down all of them at once, so that Wang Yuanya would naturally not be suspicious.

I have to say that Chen Xiaodao is really a smart guy. No wonder he became the first henchman of King Qin.

His investment vision is absolutely amazing.

"Boss, I have great respect for you! But... we have already completed the King of Qin's mission. What should we do next?"

"Yeah! Are we going to keep these people on Liangshan forever?"

Faced with the constant questioning from his subordinates, the boss Chen Xiaodao was a little embarrassed.

Because he knew Wang Yuanya's identity, and saw that there was a handsome guy next to her, the two of them were like senior brother and junior sister.

Oh my god!

As a real man, just imagine if Chen Xiaodao's wife was so intimate with a man.

What would he do?

It definitely wasn't wine, but a knife, right?

He vaguely felt that they were doing dirty work for His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and wanted to silence them.
