Chapter 465 Guns and Cannons
"Why is Xiaoran suddenly silent?"
Chen Ji picked up a piece of mutton for Luo Xiaoran and keenly noticed that her mood had become depressed, and it was after she heard about the Jiang family.
Luo Xiaoran bit her red lips, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke out her guess.
"I suspect Jiang Bin has developed a weapon with great lethality. The Kyoto garrison troops that attacked the Jiang family were killed by this weapon. In order not to expose the existence of this weapon, he burned the bodies and destroyed the evidence."
"Excuse me, Miss Luo, why do you have such doubts?" Huo Qingyun asked with confusion in his heart.
Was it because of what I just said? I just described the situation of the Jiang family that day. Why did Miss Luo...
"Don't ask!" Luo Xiaoran waved at Huo Qingyun, then raised her palm and made a gesture as if she was swearing to the sky.
"Just like last time in the prison."
Huo Qingyun immediately thought of the time when Miss Luo did not allow him to spread the word "allergy" and did not allow Jiang Bin to know her theory about the death of the former crown prince, and that was how he swore an oath.
This time, it was also about Jiang Bin, the head of the Jiang family...
A hint of contemplation flashed across Huo Qingyun's eyes. He always felt that there was something between Miss Luo and Jiang Bin that was hard to explain and could not be told to outsiders.
"I wonder what the weapons Xiao Ranyu mentioned look like?"
Chen Ji roughly guessed that the reason why Luo Xiaoran had such doubts based on just a few words from Huo Qingyun might be because this weapon was so unusual, even ahead of its time.
Luo Xiaoran dipped chopsticks in water and drew the shape of a gun on the table, and then she even drew a cannon.
If Jiang Bin really had made a pistol, then she would have to use her imagination again and assume the worst possible scenario.
After all, Jiang Bin has traveled to this era for twenty years.
"This small one is called a 'gun' and the big one is called a 'cannon'. They are both very powerful weapons."
"A gun? It's a long-range strike weapon like a bow and arrow. It's small, light, and easy to carry. Just pull the trigger and the bullet will fly out, killing or injuring someone."
"? Ordinary knives, swords, spears, and bows can kill one person in a split second, but cannons can cause large-scale destruction. A single cannonball can not only kill or injure several people, but can even turn an iron wall into rubble."
"Before, most of your attention was on the Lin family. You didn't pay as much attention to the Jiang family's actions in secret as the Lin family."
"If Jiang Bin really manages to secretly manufacture guns and cannons, he will have a huge advantage. He will then be a hundred times more dangerous than the Lin family before."
Chen Ji and Huo Qingyun were both shocked by Luo Xiaoran's words.
Especially Chen Ji, his sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed and his expression was very solemn.
He was able to place his hidden chess pieces right under Lin Yuanhao's nose, but over the years, he was never able to infiltrate the core of the Jiang family.
From today on, he needs to find out the Jiang family's plan to repel the enemy that day at all costs to see if the Jiang family has hidden the "gun" that Xiaoran mentioned.
In addition, we need to investigate in detail whether the Jiang family has a place where weapons are privately cast.
If what Xiaoran said is true, Jiang Bin... is a huge threat to the entire Daliang.
The excitement in Huo Qingyun's heart also could not be calmed for a long time. He had three ambitions in his life. One was to protect the Huo family, the second was to avenge the late prince, and the third was to serve Daliang.
Every day he practices his ambition to protect the Huo family and serve Daliang. The only thing he can do is to avenge his cousin the prince, and he can only get one of his three enemies.
The remaining Jiang Bin and Chen Lingyi, one is the leader of the aristocratic family after the demise of the Lin family, and the other is the biological sister of the current emperor. Killing them for revenge seems to be a long and arduous task.
Now that he heard that Jiang Bin might have been hiding his strength, Huo Qingyun couldn't help but feel extremely heavy in his heart, and even the delicious and novel hot pot seemed tasteless.
"Oh! I just said it casually, you just listen to it casually, don't be discouraged!"
“When you reach a mountain, there is always a way out; when you reach a bridge, you will find a way out. The more difficult the time, the more you need to remain optimistic and open-minded.”
"If you take it slow, you will have a happy ending. As long as you don't come to a head-on confrontation, there is still room for improvement."
"Now that we have noticed and are on guard, we should make plans early and proceed step by step."
"Hurry! The tripe is old, let's not waste it, eat it quickly!"
"Today, you two have confirmed that my hot pot is excellent. If I open a hot pot restaurant in Kyoto in the future, I'm sure it will be crowded with customers and make a fortune every day!"
“Let’s get rich~ la la la!”
Seeing that Chen Ji and Huo Qingyun were both depressed because of her words, Luo Xiaoran's mood was reversed.
Is this the legendary truth that if you share your difficulties and pain, they can be cut in half?
……
Jiang family.
When Jiang Sheng entered the study, Jiang Bin was reading a storybook without even raising his head.
"Master, the young master has gone to the storehouse... and wants a gun."
"It's all my fault for not being careful. The young master saw me that day. He was very interested in this deadly weapon."
After saying that, Jiang Sheng knelt down with a "bang" and successfully lifted Jiang Bin's head from the desk.
Jiang Bin's tone was very helpless. "It's not your fault. Tell him to get out of here. Don't go near the warehouse. Don't leak a single word to anyone. Just say I said it."
Jiang Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The master of the family usually did not discipline his young master, but as long as he asked for something, no matter how reluctant the young master was, he would not dare to disobey.
The matter was over, and Jiang Sheng slowly stood up.
"When the young master approached Yan Kui to cause trouble for King Yan, the head of the family did not stop him after learning about it. Instead, he took the opportunity to send Old Man Yan, an old man from Qianlong Village, to King Yan to help him understand the truth about the Lin family's suppression of bandits."
"Given the hatred that the Prince of Yan has for the Lin family, he will definitely not miss this opportunity and will certainly attack the Lin family after returning to the capital."
"Once the Lin family is destroyed by King Yan at lightning speed, the one who will benefit the most is King Yan, not our Jiang family."
"So, the master ordered me to pass the news to the Lin family, so that they can prepare themselves. It would be best if they could fight the King of Yan to a draw, and the Jiang family would become the most powerful force in the court in the future."
"But the Lin family cut off the firewood and directly started a rebellion. This was something we had not expected before."
"In order to protect ourselves, we had to take out the guns and ammunition from the warehouse and let the previously secretly trained death squads resist the aggressive garrison."
"I heard that although the Yun family and the Huo family were also attacked, they seemed to have been prepared and defeated the garrison troops step by step."
"It was Li He, the Gongcao of Jingzhao Prefecture who was the one who rushed to the front and conspired with the Lin family to rebel. However, he was stabbed in the chest by a soldier of the Yun family."
"All these things make us wonder whether the Yun family and the Huo family knew about the Lin family's uprising a long time ago."
Be it the flattery at the beginning or the doubts at the end, Jiang Bin did not take Jiang Sheng's words to heart.
There are too many smart people in Kyoto. How can it be that only he is allowed to scheme and others are not allowed to do the same?
