I didn't expect that there are already ready-made things that I didn't make.If you think about it, the wisdom of the ancients is endless. Didn't the invention of China's four major inventions also promote the birth of thermal weapons?

After confirming, Qi Si handed the gun back to the old man and asked, "Old man, where did this come from?"

Hearing his question, the old man realized that Qi Si was interested in his blunderbuss, and said: "General Qi, this is made by the old man, general, don't think the blunderbuss are inconspicuous, if you put it on, you can kill people from a hundred paces away... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yifan who was next to him said: "Joke! You can't kill a bird in three steps, let alone a hundred steps! You used a gun to blow up the chest and almost killed a soldier. Only a fool would believe you! "

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion also said to Qi Si: "General Qi, don't be fooled by Lao Kong. Lao Kong is used to fooling people. He has no place to live now. As a penniless man, he wants to sell his guns to others. Make some money."

"No, what I said is true!" The old man defended, "You let me meet Mr. Liu, and I will definitely make it clear to him in person."

"Master Liu has no time to see you." The soldiers of Shenji Battalion frowned, "Master Liu already knows about you, and he would never put such a thing in Shenji Battalion."

The old man was stunned, "Lord Liu...don't want my gun? Although there is a problem with the gun now, it can be improved after research. It is definitely more powerful than the Shenwei crossbow!"

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion pulled out their pistols angrily, "If you slander the Shenwei Crossbow again, I will kill you! Let's see if your gun killed me first or my Shenwei Crossbow killed you first."

The old man's face changed drastically, and he quickly backed away.

"Grandpa!" The grandson next to him was so frightened that he grabbed his clothes and cried, "Grandpa, let's go, I'm hungry!"

"Hey, wait a little longer, as long as I return to Shenji Camp, I will definitely fill you up." The old man comforted his grandson.

Qi Si frowned.

Chang An approached Qi Si and whispered in his ear: "This old man is called Kong San. He used to be a craftsman in the Shenji Camp, making guns. Later, for some reason, he became obsessed with guns. He shouted that guns are more powerful than gods and crossbows. Great, the Shenji Battalion at that time listened to his words and asked him to make guns, but the things he made couldn't kill people, and even injured the soldiers who were practicing, angering the Shenji Battalion, and they were kicked out."

"So that's how it is." Qi Si understood clearly.

Qi Si handed a pack of dim sum to the little boy, "Eat something first if you're hungry, and uncle will take you back to the General's Mansion to eat delicious food later."

The old man looked up in surprise.Jiang Yifan and the soldiers of Shenji Battalion looked at each other in blank dismay.

"General, you are..." the old man asked in disbelief, "You want to take us back to the General's Mansion?"

Qi Si smiled and said, "Shenji Camp won't accept you, but I will."

People around were in an uproar.

The old fritters that were not accepted by the Shenji camp were accepted by General Qi?

"General?" Li Lanshang and Chang'an said in unison.

Qi Si smiled mysteriously, "This person is very useful."

He stopped explaining, and said to the surprised old man and child: "Come home with me."

A group of people left under the watchful eyes of Jiang Yifan and Shenjiying. Qi Si took the old man and the child back to the general's mansion and asked the kitchen to prepare food for them.

After eating and drinking, Qi Si politely asked the old man to talk.The old man gave him a detailed introduction to the use and production mechanism of the flintlock.

Qi Si could see that he was worried and would not be reused, so he kept explaining that the improved gun would not explode easily and was very safe.

After half an hour's introduction, Qi Si didn't say anything, but Li Lanshang said: "It's a donkey or a horse, just pull it out and you'll know. General, how about letting Master Kong try the power of the flintlock?"

Li Lanshang spoke out everyone's aspirations.

Qi Si hummed, and asked the old man to take the gun to the school grounds to demonstrate.

The old man agrees.

So the group moved to the school grounds, and Qi Si had someone prepare a target to test the shooting distance.Under the crowd's onlookers, the old man raised his gun nervously to shoot, the first shot missed, and the second shot hit, but the target did not penetrate, leaving only marks of burns from gunpowder.

The old man's forehead began to sweat.

Qi Si didn't laugh at it, and neither did Li Lanshang and Chang'an.

The old man felt a little comforted, no longer nervous, and raised his gun to shoot.

Under Qi Si's command, the target moved from three feet to one foot, and then to one foot and one foot, and so on. Finally, it was concluded that the shooting distance of the blunderbuss was about three feet away, about ten meters away.

The effective range of modern pistols is about 50 meters, and Kong Lao's gun can shoot ten meters away, which is already a great improvement.Although the stability is poor, it already has a preliminary prototype of the king of hot weapons in the future.

What needs to be improved now is the stability and the ratio of the gun. As long as the stability is improved, the shooting accuracy will inevitably be improved;

It just so happened that Qi Si was interested in firearms in modern times. He remembered the proportions and some knowledge about improvements in gun barrels.

"very good."

After the exercise, Qi Si clapped his hands in praise.

In Kong Lao's mind, this exercise was not good, at most it didn't blow up his chest, he didn't expect Qi Si's exaggeration, he was quite flattered.

One of Chang An and Li Lanshang is a master of martial arts, and the other has fought on the battlefield. He has a lot of research on weapons and can see the flaws of the gun at a glance. He doesn't understand why the general is so caring.

Qi Si walked up to Kong Lao, and asked with a serious expression: "Kong Lao, the design of the blunderbuss must not be leaked to others, especially not falling into the hands of people from other lands."

Kong Lao was stunned, and then said awkwardly: "General, I heard that Westerners are already researching the production of guns, and they have also produced cannons, which are very powerful..."

"Westerners have already made guns and cannons?" Qi Si raised his eyebrows, wondering in his heart. Could it be that this world is the same as the modern world, is it also Westerners who master the use of firearms and knock on the doors of various countries with hot weapons?

Originally, he didn't want to specially transform the firecracker, because he was worried that the rapid birth of thermal weapons would destroy the balance of the world, but now he heard that Westerners have already made excellent thermal weapons. It will become a situation of being beaten.

That being the case, he doesn't have to keep it.

Leaving the school grounds, Qi Si asked Chang'an, "Your Highness is out on business, when did you say he would come back last time?"

Chang An was told not to tell the truth, and said, "One month later."

Qi Si frowned, a little impatient to wait, "Then is the place where he works far away, can I go there?"

Chang'an faltered, "It's not too close, and it's not too far."

The Imperial Mausoleum is just outside Bianjing City, and it can be reached by riding a horse for an hour.

Li Lanshang snorted, "Didn't His Highness be sent to the imperial mausoleum to think about it?"

"Sent to the Imperial Tomb to reflect on your past?" Qi Si turned to Li Lanshang in surprise, "What's going on?"

Li Lanshang said: "His Royal Highness called away the imperial physician who was treating His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine in the middle of the night, which made the Imperial Concubine seriously ill. His Majesty punished His Highness to go to the imperial mausoleum to reflect on his mistakes."

Qi Si turned his head and asked Chang An, "Is His Highness on official business or was he sent to the imperial mausoleum?"

In the past few days, Qi Si has been recovering from illness in the General's Mansion, staying behind closed doors and not knowing any news from the outside world.Most of the officials who came to visit thought that Qi Si knew about the crown prince's punishment, but no one mentioned it, so Qi Si didn't know until now.

Seeing Qi Si's expression was different, Li Lanshang asked in surprise, "Don't you know, the general?"

Chang An covered his head, knowing that he couldn't hide it, and said: "His Highness was indeed punished and sent to the Imperial Mausoleum to contemplate for a month."

Qi Si raised his eyebrows, "I thought why he suddenly showed kindness. It turned out that he was imprisoned for a month before he gave me a month's leave."

Hearing his disdain, Chang An couldn't help asking: "Does the general know why His Highness was punished?"

"Why?"

"The general was injured in a duel with Temuza that day and fell into a coma. His Highness was so worried that something might happen to the general. He intercepted the imperial doctor of His Majesty and the imperial concubine to treat the general, and was punished by His Majesty."

Qi Si was stunned, and said after a while: "You mean, he is for me?"

Chang An sighed, "Your Highness knows that the general is ill and needs to rest, so he specifically told me not to tell the general, for fear of affecting the general's mood. Now that the general is in good health, I don't need to hide it."

Besides, if you want to hide it, you can't hide it. General Qi will know about such a big matter sooner or later.

Qi Si remained silent.

Li Lanshang understood that Qi Si really didn't know about the crown prince's punishment before, so he couldn't help calling out, "General?"

Chang'an stared at Qi Si eagerly, hoping that he could say a few touching words.

After a while, Qi Si asked, "Where is the imperial mausoleum?"

&&

An hour later, Qi Si brought Chang'an and Li Lanshang to the imperial tomb.The imperial mausoleum is heavily guarded, outsiders cannot easily enter, but these people do not include Qi Si, because Qi Si has a secret order from the inside.

His majesty specially gave him the token back then, allowing him to walk freely in the royal family, including the imperial mausoleum.

Li Lanshang and Chang'an stayed outside the imperial tomb.

The imperial mausoleum was built on the mountain, majestic and majestic. All the emperors and concubines of the past dynasties were buried inside. Several concubines of the previous emperors, exiled eunuchs and court ladies guarded here, surrounded by heavy soldiers.

The imperial mausoleum is not an imperial palace, after entering, Qi Si found that the guards inside were loose.

I also know that no one wants to come to the place where the dead make trouble.

There are huge palaces and ancestral halls in the imperial mausoleum, and Xiao Min shuts himself in the ancestral hall where the ancestral tablets of past dynasties are enshrined.No matter how bloody and stormy it was outside, the inside of the imperial mausoleum was quiet and peaceful, and time became very slow.

Qi Si walked towards the ancestral hall step by step along the steps, and asked in his heart as he walked: Why did the prince help him?And why am I so impatient to see the prince?

What will the prince say when he sees him later?

Qi Si stood still on the steps, looking at the majestic and majestic lintel of the ancestral hall above, feeling confused.

Hearing that the crown prince was sent to the imperial tomb for his own sake, he chased after him impulsively, but when he really came in, he retreated a bit.

Recently in the East Palace and Xiao Min, Xiao Min tolerated and indulged everywhere, Qi Si didn't know it, but he thought that the prince was just trying to win him over as a means of being a virtuous corporal.Now, the prince has never asked him to do anything, but he did not hesitate to offend the imperial concubine in order to save him, and was fined into the imperial mausoleum.

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

All the past events are vivid in his mind, even if Xiao Min has other purposes, Qi Si also feels that even if he can achieve this step, Qi Si has no choice but to accept the prince's affection.

Qi Si strode up the steps to the front of the ancestral hall.

A drowsy little eunuch was guarding the gate of the ancestral hall, sitting on a chair and taking a nap.

When I walked in, I found out that it was Xiaofuzi.

Hearing the movement, Xiao Fuzi raised his head and stood up in surprise, "General Qi, why did you come in?"

Qi Si said: "I'm here to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Fuzi was surprised, "How did the general get in?"

Qi Si: "I have a secret order from the Ouchi."

Suddenly, Xiao Fuzi laughed again, "General Qi really has a heart, but His Highness is punished by His Majesty and cannot come out to meet guests."

"Can't come out to meet people?"

Xiao Fuzi hesitated to speak, "Yes."

Two days ago, His Highness heard that General Qi almost broke out of the ancestral hall, and Jin Yuwei informed His Majesty, His Majesty was angry, and directly sealed the door to prevent him from going out.

Qi Si thought for a while and said, "Then can I talk to His Highness? There is something important, so I'll leave after I finish talking."

Xiao Fuzi said: "General, wait a moment, wait for the servants to inform His Highness."

Xiao Fuzi went to the ancestral hall and knocked on the door. After listening to the movement for a while, he said in a pinched voice, "Your Highness, General Qi is here to visit you. He has something important to discuss."

Qi Si stood beside Xiao Fuzi and waited.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from inside the ancestral hall.

"Qi Si?" Xiao Min's surprised voice came through the door, "Why are you here? How is your condition? Why don't you take a good rest?"

The first sentence we met was to ask about his condition?

With a warm current in his heart, Qi Si whispered: "Physician Song said that my illness is not serious."
