Eastern suburbs, racecourse.
The steward of the racecourse, whose surname was Zhou, was very considerate in front of Zhao Wangsun.
"The distance I estimated is a bit large, between half a mile and ten miles," Chu Xiu muttered. This was his first time to test the cannon. He couldn't determine the specific range of the cannon. He could only follow some information from his previous life. Memory, give a rough category.
Zhao Wangsun glanced at the racecourse manager Zhou and said, "There may be some big noise later."
"Haha, it's okay." Manager Zhou said respectfully.
Even the real master behind the racecourse must be respectful in front of the fourth gentleman of the academy.
Not to mention the big commotion, so what if the racecourse is demolished?
Zhao Wangsun nodded, "Then get ready."
"Yes." Manager Zhou responded, then hesitated a little and asked cautiously, "This... I wonder what I need to prepare for you?"
Zhao Wangsun patted the barrel of the red cannon and said with a smile: "There should be no people or horses directly in front of this thing, between half a mile and ten miles away."
"Oh." Manager Zhou understood and left quickly.
Zhao Wangsun glanced at Chu Xiu and said, "There are a lot of miscellaneous fish around."
"It's not in the way." Chu Xiu adjusted the height of the red cannon barrel and said casually, "Mr. Fourth is here, I'm afraid they don't dare to mess around."
"You're really welcome." Zhao Wangsun smiled.
"It would be too disrespectful to be polite to Mr. Fourth," Chu Xiu said leisurely.
The landlady and the 'cold-faced man' both held their breath.
But not everyone can chat and laugh happily with the fourth gentleman at the back of Zhuque Academy.
Not a moment.
Manager Zhou came over and made arrangements.
Chu Xiu took a deep breath and made sure that the red cannon was fixed. He took out the fire breaker from his arms, blew it, and lit the fuse of the red cannon.
next moment.
Go straight back more than three feet.
Seeing this, the eyes of everyone around him jumped slightly, and they immediately retreated to Chu Xiu's side.
Everyone looked at the lead with burning eyes.
"Bang~."
There was a violent bang, and the entire red cannon seemed to be trembling, and a dazzling flame emitted from the long barrel.
"Boom!"
Under the cover of the fire, a black stream of light that was imperceptible to the naked eye rushed like lightning and struck seven miles away, making a rumble and explosion like a glacier hitting a mountain.
The sound was like thunder, deafening, as if the heaven and earth were shaking.
The horses in the entire racecourse were frightened and roared.
Whether it was Zuo Chong, Duanmu Yaoyao, Tang Jiabao, the proprietress, etc., or some people hiding in the dark, they were all shocked and inexplicable.
"Such a long distance, such a powerful power..." Tang Jiabao was horrified and speechless.
"Is this a hidden weapon?"
Shock was also written on the pretty face of the landlady.
"It's more powerful than I imagined." Zhao Wangsun stared at the dust and smoke seven miles away, and the trajectory of the cannonball launch appeared in his mind. He felt that if he adjusted the angle of the barrel, the range could probably exceed ten miles.
"Successed so easily?"
Chu Xiu whispered, narrowing his eyes, feeling a little unreal in his heart.
He did understand the red cannon and the firing and explosion principles of some later weapons, but after all, he was just talking about it on paper and never put it into practice.
"Easy?" Zhao Wangsun glanced at Chu Xiu and said calmly, "Your idea is indeed unconstrained, but your drawings are too crude. When I helped you build it, I made many changes. "
Chu Xiu was startled and looked at Zhao Wangsun.
Zhao Wangsun said proudly: "Without my improvement, the black ball you launched might have exploded directly in this iron cylinder."
Chu Xiu blinked.
Exploded?
He has thought about this problem, and he also knows that the red cannons in previous lives actually fired lead balls or iron balls instead of ammunition.
And the result he wanted was a shocking explosion.
"Mr. Four was made to laugh." Chu Xiu grinned. His design was indeed immature. After all, he did not have a real "specialization in the art".
Zhao Wangsun shook his head, with a serious expression on his face, "Your idea is genius, and can even be said to be terrifying. Once such a powerful cannon is built on a large scale, it will most likely affect wars in the future."
Chu Xiu paused and thought about future generations.
"Then let's destroy it." Chu Xiu muttered, he liked training more than the red cannon.
Zhao Wangsun smiled and nodded, "It's up to you."
Chu Xiu looked at Tang Jiabao.
The rest of the people also looked at Tang Jiabao.
The ultimate purpose of coming here to test the artillery is the bet between Chu Xiu and Tang Jiabao.
Tang Jiabao glanced at the fire in the distance and hesitated: "The mechanism I prepared can probably reach this distance."
"This is only Mr. Chu's first experiment." The proprietress on the side said lightly.
Tang Jiabao's eyelids twitched slightly, he thought for a moment, looked at the red cannon again, and finally said feebly: "Chu Xiu won."
A distance of seven miles... The mechanism he prepared was already very weak and could not guarantee accuracy and power at all.
"Another academy disciple lost to him." Zuo Chong glanced at Chu Xiu, unable to calm down in his heart.
Before this, I'm afraid no one would believe that the academy's junior disciples would lose, let alone lose two games in a row.
"I won, but the academy did not lose." Chu Xiu said with a smile, "Without the help of Mr. Four, the effect would not have been so good."
"You want to say that the only loser is myself..." Tang Jiabao said quietly, a little depressed. He now understood the mood of the seventh senior sister.
Chu Xiu did not comment and said directly: "I am very interested in your Tang family's Thousand Chance Umbrella. Make one for me."
In the bet, if Chu Xiu loses, he must respectfully call "Mr. Twelve" when he sees Tang Jiabao in the future; if Tang Jiabao loses, he must do something for Chu Xiu.
"Haha~, okay." Tang Jiabao looked reluctant and his heart was bleeding.
The Thousand Chance Umbrella is one of the seven hidden weapons of the Tang Sect.
Normally it is an umbrella, but when necessary, it can be transformed into a knife, sword, gun, spear, shield and other weapons, and it is also a very terrifying hidden weapon.
It is very cumbersome to build and requires a lot of consumables.
"How about giving this thing to me, and I will give you a Thousand Chances Umbrella tomorrow?" an old voice sounded.
A figure in white stands not far away, and I don't know how long it has been here.
Chu Xiu looked up and found an old man with a white beard and a kind face.
"Contemporary Old Man Tianji." Zuo Chong whispered.
"Old Man Tianji..." Chu Xiu suddenly realized, chuckled and shook his head.
Old man Tianji came.
"Add another Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle." Old Man Tianji said with a smile.
Chu Xiu shook his head again, "It's useless to add anything. This thing was built by Mr. Fourth."
"That's it." Old Man Tianji glanced at Zhao Wangsun.
Zhao Wangsun smiled and said: "If you want it, you can take it directly."
"Haha, Mr. Fourth is joking." Old Man Tianji laughed, looked at Chu Xiu again, and took out a red invitation from his arms, "On April 11, there will be a banquet by the Furong River. If Mr. Chu is interested, You can go and have a look.”
"Banquet?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly and accepted the invitation.
"Xia Chuxue, Jiang Rou's daughter, is also invited, and she will also go." Old Man Tianji said with a smile.
"oh."
Chu Xiu said softly, thinking that it seemed that his aunt and the others had arrived in Chang'an City.
"I'm very curious, what is Mr. Chu best at?" Old Man Tianji looked at Chu Xiu and asked.
The rest of the people also looked at Chu Xiu.
"Brew wine." Chu Xiu replied casually. Zuo Chong's fiancée Pei Yuxian had also asked this question.
"Wine-making..." Old Man Tianji smiled and nodded, "Dean Feng really likes drinking."
"There is no need to test it. After the general examination, there will be results." Zhao Wangsun said calmly.
"It's because I'm being rude." Old Man Tianji laughed, looked at Chu Xiu again, turned around and left.
Zhao Wangsun glanced at Chu Xiu and said, "Tianji Pavilion sells information. These forces usually just watch the excitement and don't mind the trouble. Even if nothing happens, they can still make trouble for you."
"Junior understands."
Chu Xiu nodded. Those lists promulgated by Tianji Pavilion were one of the reasons for the struggle in the world.
Next.
Of course, Chu Xiu did not directly destroy the red cannon.
The gun test continues.
The whole Chang'an City roared continuously, which shocked everyone in Chang'an City.
Because of this, Chu Xiu's name frequently appeared in various conversations.
Commanding the Embassy.
The top floor of a tall building.
Sisters Pei Yiren, the leader of the rouge list, and Pei Yuxian, Zuo Chong's fiancée, stood together and looked towards the eastern suburbs.
The appearance of the two women is almost the same, and both are indescribably beautiful.
The difference is that Pei Yiren has a slightly more mature charm. She is more attractive and deadly than the young Pei Yuxian.
"People outside the city can only see the prosperity of the city and think this is the most beautiful place." Pei Yiren said softly, "Only when you are in the city can you feel the danger under the prosperity."
Pei Yuxian hesitated and said, "Sister, if you want to leave, Mr. Er will definitely be willing to take you away."
"Xiao Xian'er, don't take other people's kindness for granted." Pei Yiren chuckled, "Don't think that just because someone likes you, you can accept their help with peace of mind."
"You're overthinking." Pei Yuxian was speechless, thinking that I was helping you with the idea, but it was mine, wasn't it?
"In addition, you have to remember one thing." Pei Yiren said leisurely, "Unless the two of you are in love, even if a man likes you, after he gets you, his interest in you will become linear. reduce."
"Mr. Er is not that kind of person." Pei Yuxian said in a dull voice.
She was too lazy to complain. This sister always thought too badly of men, as if all the men in the world who liked her were greedy for her body.
Pei Yiren nodded, "Mr. Second is very nice, but it's a pity that I don't like him."
Pei Yuxian was speechless for a moment.
In the past, every time this topic came up, she would always ask, why don't you like it? Mr. Er is obviously so good.
Nowadays, she will no longer ask such childish questions.
"This Chu Xiu may become Dean Feng's thirteenth disciple." Pei Yuxian looked at the eastern suburbs and said thoughtfully. She felt that Dean Feng's gift of the Vermillion Bird Order to Chu Xiu was most likely a hint. .
"He won't." At this time, a voice sounded behind the sisters.
The commander of Long Yuan Guard, Li Xianyuan.
At the same time, he is also Pei Yiren's husband and Pei Yuxian's brother-in-law.
