The Best Fake Eunuch

After this profound lesson, Xiao Chen never dared to play with fire lightly.

But he also deeply realized the power of the Flaming Palm. He is in various crises now. If he can learn this awesome martial art, he can save his life at critical times!

So even though he didn't want to learn much, he had to.

I feel that he has already mastered the part of promoting Qi and Yungong, and it is said that he has practiced it all.

What needs to be practiced now is the martial arts moves in the booklet. These moves seem simple, but they are actually extremely complicated.

For example, in this trick of Fire Tree and Star Bridge, only three changes are drawn on the map, but the comment says that there are three kinds of changes in it, ninety-nine and eighty-one changes!

Why did you make this move so complicated?

So every morning, the big guys could see Xiao Chen punching in the yard, no one could tell what kind of punch he was punching, but he looked awesome.

If you want to ask why you say that, everyone will say.

If it wasn't very awesome, then why did Lord Xiao Chen look so dignified when he stretched his arms and legs?

In fact, they just didn't know that Xiao Chen was worried.

After all, he has a high level of education and has read a lot of books, but his physical coordination is not good. When he was in college, he failed many sports subjects!

Now you let him practice the peerless martial art of Flame Palm, which is comparable to trying to drive ducks to the shelves... It is difficult for a strong man.

But then again, he has a clever mind. After a period of hard training, although he didn't make any breakthroughs in essence, he still memorized a total of 18 flame palm moves in his heart.

According to Wu Fatian's last instructions, the booklet was burned.

From then on, he was the only successor of the Flame Palm.

The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. The auspicious day for Concubine Liu Gui to visit relatives has arrived. She bid farewell to the emperor, empress dowager, and empress early in the morning. Finally walked out of the capital.

After walking eastward for two days, I came to Haining Bay, which is the closest seaport to the capital, and all passenger ships, merchant ships, and grain ships entering Beijing must pass through here.

Xiao Chen and his party will go south by boat here.

After discussing, they decided to take the waterway, of course, the waterway also has advantages and disadvantages.

The waterway is relatively safe, at least you don't have to worry about bandits and rioters along the way, and you don't have to worry about where you live every day.

Also, it is relatively comfortable, at least without the bumps of riding a car.

This is profit.

There are also disadvantages. Sailing on the sea may encounter natural disasters such as strong winds and waves, and man-made disasters such as pirate attacks.

Above the sea, there were no reinforcements who could arrive in time, so they had to deal with it by themselves.

They were on the Royal Fengyi, which can accommodate seven to eight hundred people, and it is already the largest ocean-going ship at present.

The escort was Shenlong, one of the most powerful warships of the Dazhou Navy. This was a three-story iron-clad ship with more than 400 soldiers and more than 100 oarsmen on board.

There is a red cannon firing large-caliber iron egg pellets at the bow and stern of the ship, and there are more than a dozen small tiger crouching cannons on both sides of the ship.

The ship tower is densely packed with archery holes, and the roof is surrounded by a parapet, and there are dozens of mobile archers behind the parapet.

The commander of the Shenlong is called Lin Zirui, a dark-faced man in his thirties, extremely confident in his own warship, when he invited Xiao Chen to board the ship for inspection, his face was full of arrogance.

"I'm not a brother, I'm bragging to you, as long as my Shenlong is here, no pirates will dare to come and harass me, please don't worry, the imperial concubine!" she swears, slapping her chest.

The firepower is here.

"How far can your cannon shoot?" Xiao Chen asked with great interest.

"Sixty feet!" Lin Zirui yelled loudly, "Let's bombard his mother before the enemy ships approach!"

Sixty feet, that is, two hundred meters, which is not as far as modern rifles can shoot.

"Is this bullet of yours solid?" Seeing those big iron eggs, Xiao Chen's complexion has gradually become ugly.

"Yes, what else?" Lin Zirui asked back, he regarded Xiao Chen as a layman who didn't understand anything.

"Is there no gunpowder in it?" Xiao Chen knows the difference between an iron egg and a fried egg even if he is an amateur!

"Oh, no, it's not safe, and it's not safe to use it to launch projectiles, so how can we put it in it? Besides, if there is a fire on our ship, wouldn't it explode first? Boom boom boom!" Lin Zirui imitated The lifelike.

It made Xiao Chen speechless.

In fact, this is not to blame for Lin Zirui's ignorance, after all, the concept of naval warfare in this era is completely incomparable with Xiao Chen's era, and the difference is not just one generation or two.

It’s fine if the weapon system is extremely backward, but the power system is even more impressive. Do you use human paddling to maneuver such a large ship?

But as far as this is concerned, it is already very remarkable.

Because many warships can only rely on sails to maneuver, the wind direction is very important when the two armies are fighting.

If you turn your back to the wind, you have the upper hand, and if you face the wind, you are at a disadvantage.

This is the advantage of geography in water warfare.

There are three hard conditions for a decisive victory in a naval battle, the weapon system, the mobility system, and the protection system.

Although the Shenlong is called an iron-clad ship, it is actually only covered with a thin layer of iron skin, which seems to be able to defend against rockets and the like, which is too fragile.

But it cannot be thickened, because if it is too thick, the draft will be deep, and the maneuverability will be much worse.

All in all, all three hardware is very backward.

In Lin Zirui's opinion, this ship is already outstanding, but in Xiao Chen's eyes, it is appalling.

But at least this Lin Zirui seemed to be a strong general, and the soldiers on the ship were all mighty and majestic, probably more than enough to deal with a pirate.

Young Master, I am not the commander of the Great Zhou Navy, so I can't take care of so many other things!

As long as we can go to the south of the Yangtze River here, we can have a safe journey.

After leaving the palace, Concubine Liu Gui is the biggest.

And Xiao Chen's task is to protect the imperial concubine, so it's okay to let him follow around at all times, right?

including evening.

After Liu Ruyun took a bath, she leaned on the comfortable and soft bed like a lotus flower out of water, watching Xiao Chen sitting on the side in a daze.

"Why don't you talk? What are you thinking?" I thought he would take the initiative to throw himself into his arms, but he sat still like a wooden man.

Hmph, most likely I miss that little witch, Murong Danqiu!

"I'm wondering if there is anything missing in our security measures." Xiao Chen really didn't think about the queen at the moment.

"Aren't you quite courageous? Why are you still afraid of death?" Liu Ruyun giggled coquettishly.

"The slave is very timid." Xiao Chen was modest.

"You are timid, there will be no courageous people in the world that day!" What Liu Ruyun meant was that you even slept with the emperor's concubine, is that timid?

You are so daring!

"The slave is indeed not very courageous, but he is quite courageous in other aspects."

It depends on how you understand Xiao Chen's words, maybe it's not what he meant?

Because his official is quite big now...
