boom--
Bang bang - bang bang bang -
At this critical moment, several gunshots suddenly sounded!
Several blood holes suddenly appeared on the tiger's head in the air, and his eyes lost their luster.
The tiger's huge carcass fell with a crash!
Zhu Di also reacted at this time and stepped back to avoid being suppressed.
There was a bang.
The body fell heavily to the ground, and Zhu Di ducked away, raising a cloud of dust.
Subsequently.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the tiger.
The tiger was not completely dead yet, its belly was bulging, its head was bleeding, and there were deep holes where flesh and blood could be seen. Then it struggled a few times, kicked off its legs, and completely lost the breath of life.
The scene suddenly became quiet
Soon, everyone raised their heads and turned around in unison
Looking towards the sound of the gunshot just now.
Needless to say, the place where the sound came from was Li Xiao.
In the critical moment just now, it was impossible for Li Xiao to just watch his father-in-law die like this.
He didn't think too much, and immediately took out the QSG92 pistol used for self-defense from the specially sewn pocket on his waist, and fired five shots.
With his intermediate shooting skills, Li Xiao has superb firearm design skills and muscle memory, and can easily blow the tiger's head off.
At this moment.
Countless glances came over me.
Then, they saw the swarthy guy in Li Xiao's hand.
hiss.
Zhu Di took a breath of cold air.
How could he not have thought of what this was? ?
This is a firearm! ! !
Moreover, this firearm is so powerful that it can actually fire five times in a row. The frequency is so fast that it doesn’t need to be ignited? ? ? ?
Such a small firearm can be carried anywhere!
The pistol in Li Xiao's hand is very powerful and accurate.
It was completely beyond Zhu Di’s cognition! It's incredible.
quiet.
Extremely quiet.
At this moment, the entire mountain forest could only hear the sound of howling wind.
And the rustling sound of leaves.
Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Ningyun were right next to Li Xiao, looking at the pistol in Li Xiao's hand with the same surprise.
Facing so many looks, Li Xiao felt a little overwhelmed.
As for you, have you never seen a pistol?
Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running? Never seen it on TV?
ah? You are from the Ming Dynasty, so it's okay.
"Then what? Your Highness, Prince Yan, is safe?"
Li Xiao laughed awkwardly and silently put the pistol into his pocket.
At this time, Zhu Ningyun was the first to come to his senses.
She was so nervous that she was suffocating just now, but now, her father is safe!
It was Li Xiao, Li Xiao saved his father!
Her father was safe and sound, and countless sorrows were blown away by a gust of wind. Zhu Ningyun felt that her heart was open and she cried with joy.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Zhu Ningyun threw herself into Li Xiao's arms and burst into tears: "Xiaolang, it was you who saved my father. It was you who saved my father. I don't even know how to be grateful to you."
Li Xiao comforted Ningyun: "Silly girl, if we talk about repayment and gratitude, your father is my Li Xiao's father."
"Um!"
【Ding! Zhu Ningyun's favorability towards you is +1, and the current favorability level is: 99. You have developed a love that will last forever, and you will receive a couple gift package that you can receive at any time. 】
At this time, a pleasant sound came from Li Xiao's ear, but he had no time to pay attention to it.
"Ningyun's father is his father."
Hearing such warm words.
Xu Miaoyun on the side was also moved and her eyes turned red.
Just now, he almost saw his husband fall into the tiger's mouth.
If that thing really happened, how would the family live in the future?
It was the son-in-law who saved the prince!
It turns out that the son-in-law has developed firearms a long time ago, but he is unwilling to disclose it, but when a critical moment comes, the son-in-law will still take action!
Now this is not only his son-in-law, but also the prince’s savior! !
What a good kid
Li Xiao's weight in Xu Miaoyun's heart has increased again!
At this moment, Xu Miaoyun has promoted Li Xiao to the position of his own son!
The scene was very quiet.
a long time.
A torrent of shouts broke out.
"Oh my god, what was that just now? Was it a firearm?"
"It's a firearm! It's definitely a firearm, otherwise how could it be possible to kill this tiger so easily!"
"What kind of firearm is this? I have never seen a firearm that can fire continuously."
"Did you see that the firearm is so small that it can be carried anywhere? It's an exaggeration!"
"It seems that there is no need to ignite it. Such a firearm has never been seen before."
"The sound made by the firearm just now was like thunder. It was so terrifying!"
"It was Li Xiao who saved the prince with a firearm."
The guards present were all amazed. They had seen firearms, that is, fire blunderbuss.
A launch requires a series of complicated actions such as loading propellant, tamping the powder with a stick, loading lead, tamping lead, opening the door, lighting the gunpowder, and closing the fire door.
It is simply impossible to shoot so fast in a short period of time!
In their eyes, the pistol in Li Xiao's hands that transcended its time was simply a magical weapon!
firearm
Zhu Di walked towards Li Xiao excitedly.
Along the way, my heart was pounding!
The shock that this firearm brought to him completely made him forget that he had just walked through the gate of hell.
Last night at the wine table, Li Xiao said he couldn't make a firearm, and he believed him.
And very disappointed.
Since the lantern festival, I learned that Li Xiao's skills in making fireworks have reached their peak.
He started with the lantern festival and is looking forward to it now.
Originally, Li Xiao said that firearms were difficult to make.
He believed it and gave up.
And now, Li Xiao has not only developed firearms!
It is still extraordinary, far stronger than the firearms of Shenji Camp!
His eyes widened, and he shouted in surprise when he came to Li Xiao: "You said you don't know how to use firearms??"
Li Xiao didn't know how to answer for a while.
I said last night that firearms couldn't be made at all, but I made them today.
Fortunately, Zhu Di is the king of Yan now. If he were the emperor, this would be the crime of bullying the emperor.
"My lord! Be more steady!"
Xu Miaoyun raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Don't scare the child. Li Xiao saved your life just now and is your savior."
"Ah yes."
Only then did Zhu Di realize that he was a little too excited.
This is his son-in-law, and he will definitely offer him firearms later.
He walked over and hugged Li Xiao tightly.
Li Xiao: "????"
"Li Xiao, I just spoke in a more serious tone. We are a family, so you don't mind."
Zhu Di showed his true feelings. He didn't know how to express it, so he simply used a man's way.
Li Xiao felt like he was being held up by an iron hoop. This father-in-law was so strong.
He hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, you are Ningyun's father. Finding a way to save you is what I must do."
Zhu Di patted Li Xiao on the shoulder and said softly: "Thank you."
Li Xiao nodded slightly.
This thank you includes the grace of saving his life and Li Xiao's friendship for his daughter.
I can make King Yan Zhu Di sincerely say thank you.
Needless to say how valuable these two words are!
Subsequently,
Zhu Di let go of the hug and took two steps back.
"Father!"
Zhu Ningyun cried and threw herself into Zhu Di's arms: "Father, I scared my daughter to death just now. Fortunately, you are fine."
"Your Majesty, just be okay."
Xu Miaoyun also hugged him, feeling like he was surviving a disaster.
Zhu Di smiled, patted their mother and daughter, and said with a laugh: "Haha. I am blessed with great fortune. If you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later. There is no need to worry about me."
Women are made of water and are sentimental easily.
After Zhu Di comforted the two of them, he turned to look at the personal guards and said sternly:
"No matter who you are about today's matter, you cannot reveal a word to the outside world."
"Even relatives, parents, and friends must not talk about this matter with each other!!"
"Everything I saw and heard today will rot in my stomach!"
"If the news spreads, they will be killed without mercy!"
Considering that Li Xiao can make sugar, but cannot make it in batches, the same is likely to be true for this firearm.
The impact of the sudden appearance of such a firearm is unpredictable, so Zhu Di does not want to reveal it now.
The words fell.
More than fifty guards present said in unison: "I will obey the order of King Yan!!"
These personal guards of the Yan Palace are Zhu Di's core soldiers. Each one is carefully selected and loyal. They go to the battlefield together and share life and death.
And each of them admired Zhu Di extremely.
When Zhu Di said this, no one would reveal even a single word!
"If you have a good job in hunting a tiger today, each person will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver."
It was regarded as hush money. Zhu Di was never stingy with his subordinates. There were sixty people in the field, and he was rewarded with three thousand taels of silver with a wave of his hand.
The hunt was a near miss and ended with the killing of three tigers.
After returning home, Zhu Di ordered to reward Li Xiao with one of the three tigers.
"Li Xiao, I really didn't expect that this king would be in danger one day, but you still saved my life. I almost regretted it too late!"
On the way back, Zhu Di rode side by side with Li Xiao. He spoke to Li Xiao in a very gentle voice, "Just ask for any reward you want, and I won't deny it."
Zhu Di is now quite satisfied with this son-in-law, and he is more and more pleasing to his eyes, even more so than his three sons.
Li Xiao thought for a moment and found out that Zhu Gaoxu would save his father-in-law's life several times in the future.
Because of this, even if Zhu Gaoxu later rebelled in front of Zhu Di, he did not chop off his head.
Even before Zhu Di died, he still missed his son.
In other words, I have unknowingly put a gold medal on my head to avoid death?
This is the greatest reward. Li Xiao said respectfully: "Your Highness, King Yan, betrothing Ningyun to me is already the greatest reward!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Zhu Di laughed loudly: "Well said, it touches my heart."
He looked at Ningyun, then looked back at Li Xiao, and said, "This daughter is my greatest treasure. Now that she has been deceived by a brat like you, how sad I must be."
"King Yan, after getting married, Li Xiao will definitely take Ningyun back to the palace often to see you and the princess." Li Xiao said hurriedly.
"I, the king, please remember this sentence and don't break your promise."
Zhu Di had a smile on his face. He placed the mansion in his dowry near Prince Yan's Mansion for this purpose.
Zhu Di changed the topic and said: "Li Xiao, our family does not speak the same language. You saved this king, and I will not treat you badly. But I gave you this precious daughter, you..."
"Did Prince Yan want to talk about the firearm just now?"
Li Xiao said helplessly, it seems there is still no way around it.
During this time, Li Xiao realized that the salt mountain he had offered had been forcibly taken away by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he had been given a useless title.
Originally, I wanted my father-in-law to make a lot of money from the salt mountain, so that Jingnan could be in trouble in the future.
In the end, Zhu Di did make a lot of money, but the formula was taken away by the imperial court. The imperial court used it to open salt mines and made a lot of money.
When the salt mines across the country start construction, the rare snowflake white salt that my father-in-law can live in will not be so valuable. Over time, the price will return to the normal salt price.
Li Xiaoxin said that fortunately, he had King Yan's back. If he were to make salt mountains and make white salt by himself, let alone his title, it would be possible for the court to directly kill him.
Now, Li Xiao completely understood the fact.
The current Zhu Di is just King Yan, not Emperor Yongle.
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was just a younger brother, who could be manipulated as he pleased.
If you have any good things, you can't take them out casually. Even Zhu Di can't keep them. He has to hide them and can only take them out after Zhu Yuanzhang returns to the west on a crane.
