"Prime Minister Gao, this princess came here specifically to take you Dali soldiers out."
Princess Ayi felt a little unhappy, but she still said it.
Hearing Princess Ayi talking to him in a superior status, Gao Taixiang felt even more unhappy, and his old face turned the color of pig liver.
But now that he has lost the battle, he needs the other party's support to get out.
Now I am under someone else's roof and have to bow my head.
"Miss Ayi, I thank you so much. Please accept my courtesy." After saying this, Gao Taixiang bowed deeply to Princess Ayi while cupping his hands.
Gao Taixiang saluted, and all the soldiers behind him, including Gao Miao and others, saluted Princess Ayi.
Although they do not recognize Princess Ayi's identity, this favor must be recorded.
Princess Ayi calmly accepted the courtesy from the Dali soldiers, and she felt more or less happy.
Her clear voice said: "Prime Minister Gao, the barbarians have been defeated by us. This is an empty camp. Pack up and kill them immediately."
"I would like to thank Miss Ayi again. What kind of weapon is this? It's as big as a small mountain?" Gao Taixiang couldn't help but be curious, staring at the giant chariot and asked.
When Princess Ayi heard this, she felt even more proud: "I believe Prime Minister Gao has never seen it before. I am telling you now that this is a giant chariot."
Hearing Princess Ayi's tone, Gao Taixiang's old face turned the color of pig liver, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground for him to crawl into.
But although he was extremely embarrassed, he was extremely thick-skinned.
Although he does not want to admit that Miss Ayi is the princess of Qi Kingdom, it is already a fact.
While comforting himself in this way, Gao Taixiang asked shamelessly: "Miss Ayi, how is the performance of this giant spirit chariot?"
"How's the performance? It's made of steel and iron. The barbarians can't move it even with their swords and axes, let alone their bows and arrows." Princess Ayi glanced at Gao Taixiang with disdain, "Just now you fired hundreds of bows and arrows at the same time. The itching didn’t even make it.”
When Gao Taixiang and his son heard this, their faces turned the color of pig liver.
Damn, this is too shocking, but it’s true.
"The sword and ax can't hurt you at all?" Gao Taixiang suddenly came out of his embarrassment, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Miss Ayi, how about its firepower?"
"Firepower? Compared with it, the Hu people's iron cannons and cyclone cannons are like heaven and earth. Now the two thousand-man artillery battalions of the Hu people's iron cannons and whirlwind cannons have all been wiped out." Princess Ayi endured He couldn't help laughing, and the clear laughter echoed in the air.
Hearing this, all the soldiers of Dali Kingdom opened their mouths so wide that they could hardly close them. They could almost fit a duck egg in.
The reason why the Dali Kingdom's 30,000 soldiers suffered losses as high as 70% was because the Hu people's firearms were so powerful that they could not resist them.
The greed in Gao Taixiang's eyes shone brighter. He licked his dry lips, swallowed hard and said, "Miss Ayi, I want to go in and have a look. Is that okay?"
"Of course, Prime Minister Gao, come in." A proud smile appeared on Princess Ayi's lips, and then she closed the lid.
When they heard that they could go in to visit this iron-clad monster like a hill, Gao Miao and others' eyes lit up.
They seemed to have a few kittens tickling them in their hearts, and they wanted to go in and visit right away.
Gao Miao looked at Gao Taixiang, licked his face and begged: "Father, I want to go in and have a look, please allow me."
"Uncle, my nephew also wants to go in and have a look, please uncle for permission." Gao Lin and Gao Sen bowed to Gao Taixiang and begged.
When Gao Taixiang heard this, he felt like he had fifteen buckets of water in his heart.
But seeing the expressions on his son and nephew, he felt soft.
Gao Taixiang bowed to the giant spirit chariot and said, "Ms. Ayi, my son and nephew also want to come in. Is that okay?"
"Your son and nephew want to come in?" Princess Ayi's words floated from the giant spirit chariot, "The three of them can, but the others can't come in."
"Thank you, Mr. Ayi, little lady Ayi." Gao Miao and the other two were so happy that they almost shouted out Princess Ayi's name.
When Gao Taixiang heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
I, the prime minister, don't even recognize her as a princess, but you three actually want to recognize her as a princess.
Fortunately, I only uttered the word "princess" and did not move to my grandma's house in disgrace.
Otherwise, Gao Taixiang would have the intention to kill people.
Gao Miao saw Gao Taixiang's sharp eyes and knew that he had said the wrong thing.
His face turned the color of pig liver, and he had no choice but to lower his head.
Gao Taixiang coughed and said coldly to Gao Miao: "Miao'er, Lin'er, Sen'er, you said something wrong, your salary will be reduced by one level."
"No." Gao Miao and the others blushed and had no choice but to agree.
Especially Gao Miao, he is the prince, he has a lot of money, and his salary is a trivial matter.
But this move was not very harmful, but extremely insulting. It could be said that it was a loss of face for his heir apparent.
Gao Taixiang hopes to achieve the purpose of warning by reducing his salary.
Princess Ayi almost jumped with joy when she heard that Gao Miao, the heir apparent, and the three of them almost called themselves princesses.
It seems that she, a princess from the Qi Kingdom, will eventually be recognized by the Dali Kingdom.
She was so happy that she went to the bottom level of the giant chariot and opened the door herself.
Gao Taixiang and the four others had already arrived in front of the giant chariot and saw that the door of the giant chariot had been opened.
They looked at the car door curiously and found that the car door was not big, only a small door.
Gao Lin was a little confused and asked with a confused look on his face: "Why is the door so small?"
"The small door is much safer than the main door." Gao Taixiang is the prime minister after all, he is well-informed and he immediately understands the truth.
Gao Lin suddenly understood and was in awe: "My nephew thought that the little saint was too stingy, but he didn't expect that it was for safety reasons."
The door is still three feet above the ground, which is the height of the wheels.
"How to get up here?" Gao Taixiang felt a little embarrassed when he saw this.
Princess Ayi's lips curved into a teasing smile: "Prime Minister Gao, there is a wooden ladder here. I asked Achun to give you the wooden ladder."
"No." Achun agreed, and then handed over a small wooden ladder for boarding the train.
Gao Lin had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately set up the wooden ladder.
Gao Miao had sharp eyes and pointed to the right side behind the door and said, "Hey, there's a handle behind the door. It's really ingenious."
Gao Taixiang was secretly surprised. He didn't expect the little saint to be so thoughtful in his design.
He was the Prime Minister after all, so he climbed up the steps slowly and calmly without holding the handle.
Regardless of this, Gao Miao and the other three felt that holding the handle was more comfortable and faster, so they all used the handle.
Although the door is small, the inside is very large, about six feet high.
The four of them were at least seven feet above each other and could only lower their heads.
But there are stools on them, and they are all fixed.
Only then did the four of them see clearly the appearance of Princess Ayi, who was only about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Although the little face is not very fair, it has pretty features, a high nose, red lips, white teeth, and a peach-shaped face.
Princess Ayi pointed to a young lady of about fourteen or fifteen years old and said: "Prime Minister Gao, three generals, this is Huang Xiaoniu, the deputy regimental leader of the Chariot Battalion."
It turned out that he was the deputy leader and had a high official position, but the four of them didn't quite understand why this deputy leader was a beautiful young lady.
Huang Xiaoniu has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and there is still a bit of heroism in his handsomeness.
What attracted the attention of the four people was that not only was she more beautiful than Princess Ayi, but her skin was so good that it seemed to be able to drip water.
Gao Taixiang found it even more strange that Huang Xiaoniu was named after a man and dressed like a man.
However, since he is old and mature, he will not ask more questions.
Although Huang Xiaoniu's official position is not as high as the four of them, he is still a lifesaver.
This deputy leader is really powerful, he even brought a dozen iron-skinned monsters to rescue the Dali soldiers.
Seeing the strange expressions of the four people, Princess Ayi smiled slightly: "Deputy Leader Huang is the consort's guard with a sword, and he once rescued the consort."
"I have met Deputy Tuan-Leader Huang." Gao Taixiang took the lead in saluting, "Tuan-Lead Huang is very skilled in martial arts, I admire him endlessly."
"Deputy Commander Huang is very skilled in martial arts, and I admire him in general." Gao Miao and the others originally looked down on Huang Xiaoniu, a female general, but when they heard that she actually saved the little saint, they were immediately in awe.
Gao Taixiang looked at Huang Xiaoniu and Princess Ayi, and couldn't help but compare them with his own daughter.
His daughter's appearance is between Huang Xiaoniu and Princess Ayi, but she is good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting.
It is said that Princess Ayi is both civilized and martial arts, and can play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It seems that my daughter does not have much advantage.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but make some calculations.
What surprised the four people even more was that Huang Xiaoniu did not give him a Wanfu gift, but gave him a bow: "I have met Prime Minister Gao, and I have met three generals."
"Thank you, Deputy Commander Huang, for your life-saving grace." The four of them bowed.
Huang Xiaoniu waved his hand carelessly: "Thank you for anything. Sit down and drink tea."
"Is there any tea in the car?" Gao Miao opened his mouth so wide that he almost couldn't close it.
There was actually tea here, and the four of them couldn't figure out how to drink tea even after racking their brains.
The four of them had no choice but to look ahead, and sure enough they found the trick.
There are two Eight Immortals tables in the middle of the first floor and eight benches around them, but they are all fixed on the chariot.
The four of them were even more surprised when they saw this.
You know, this is on top of the car, and there is even a table of Eight Immortals. It is not that difficult.
Because all cars vibrate violently when they are running, teacups and the like are easily broken.
The Eight Immortals table is not much better. It slides very easily and even bumps into people.
However, the Zhaojiazhuang chariot was so ingenious that the Eight Immortals table was firmly fixed on the chariot.
Achun's four maids immediately took down the bamboo tubes from the walls of the chariot, opened the water bags, and poured tea into each bamboo tube.
Huang Xiaoniu and Princess Ayi sat on one of the Eight Immortals tables, while Gao Taixiang and the other four sat on the other Eight Immortals table.
While Huang Xiaoniu was drinking tea, he felt a little embarrassed: "The conditions in the car are simple and only herbal tea is available."
"Deputy Leader Huang is so polite. It's a great surprise and joy to have tea in the chariot." Gao Taixiang bowed his hand and said with great joy.
The three Gao Miao people also bowed their hands and praised continuously: "General Huang is so polite. Which chariot has tea? It's the only one like this giant spirit chariot."
The four of them drank tea and looked at it carefully.
The four people took a careful look at the wall of the chariot. They all took a breath of air and almost took a few steps back.
I saw that the surrounding walls were densely packed with steel bars, about the size of an adult's palm, and covered with a layer of iron.
There are so many steel bars, I don’t know where they came from.
Iron is very precious and is generally controlled by the imperial court.
Not to mention the steel bars, which can only be made by an experienced blacksmith after a lot of hard work.
Alas, the little saint is indeed very wealthy and does not regard money as money at all.
What's even more rare is that all of these steel bars are arched. I don't know how the little saint achieved this.
Sure enough, it is made of steel and iron. No wonder it can be used by barbarians with swords and axes. It is because the material itself is so good.
This is a room three feet wide and five feet long, with twelve firearms densely placed in front of it.
Each firearm is about four feet long, about five inches in diameter, and has two ears on either side.
There is a small hole in each of the two ears, and iron chains are fixed to the wall of the chariot.
There are also two fixed seats behind the firearm, which are convenient for the shooter to sit in, which is very user-friendly.
Gao Taixiang has never seen these firearms before, because the mouth of the iron cannon is large, while the mouth of this firearm is extremely small, like a small mouth of a cherry.
Gao Taixiang bowed his hands and couldn't help but ask: "Deputy Leader Huang, what is this firearm with such a small mouth?"
"This is the Shadowless Cannon." Huang Xiaoniu said lightly with a smile on his lips.
The four of them, Gao Taixiang, looked at each other and shook their heads.
Gao Taixiang stroked his beard and asked seriously: "Deputy Regiment Leader Huang, what is the function of the Shadowless Cannon?"
"The Shadowless Cannon is filled with thousands of grains of iron sand. When it hits a person, it's like a poisonous bee stings. Because it is almost invisible when fired, it is named the Shadowless Cannon." Huang Xiaoniu said calmly.
Gao Taixiang's eyes almost fell out of their sockets, and their mouths almost couldn't be closed.
"This is more powerful than an iron cannon," Gao Taixiang said happily, "General Huang, how far is its range?"
"The range of five hundred steps is no problem." Huang Xiaoniu said calmly.
In fact, Huang Xiaoniu was a bit conservative in his words. Five hundred steps is the effective range. Recently, the range can reach one thousand steps, but the effect has been greatly weakened.
However, Zhao Ping also ordered that it can be sold to a relatively friendly vassal country like Dali.
Of course, the weapons sold by Zhaojiazhuang will not sell the best to potential enemies.
So Huang Xiaoniu was right when he said the shooting range was five hundred steps. This was what Zhao Ping had ordered.
Even so, Gao Taixiang and the other four were dumbfounded for a moment, standing there as if they were petrified, with their mouths wide open and unable to close for a long time.
You know, the effective range of a bow and arrow is only a hundred steps, which is almost five times that of a bow and arrow.
Gao Taixiang looked at the roof and asked a little embarrassedly: "General Huang, can you go up and have a look at the second floor?"
"The layout of the second floor is similar, but smaller. There is an iron cannon on it, and it has a range of 300 steps." Huang Xiaoniu said patiently with a faint smile on his face.
In fact, the iron cannon of the security group can reach 500 steps, but the good ones will definitely not be sold.
Even so, when they heard that the range reached three hundred steps, the four of them felt like they were struck by lightning.
You know, the barbarians' iron cannons only have a range of two hundred steps.
Just kidding, Huang Xiaoniu might not be willing to let Gao Taixiang and the others come up if he sees that Dali is more friendly.
Gao Taixiang did feel a little regretful, but knowing that the security team could let him come up was enough to be friendly to him.
Gao Taixiang smiled and saluted: "General Huang, what's on the third floor?"
"The third floor is the cyclone cannon. The one that fires thunder can move fifty steps without any problem." Huang Xiaoniu responded patiently and friendly while returning the salute.
Fifty steps, this distance is basically beyond the limit of human beings. Many Dali soldiers can only take about twenty steps.
Hearing this, Gao Taixiang couldn't help but look greedy in his eyes.
He bowed his hand to Huang Maverick and asked tentatively: "General Huang, Dali wants to buy this giant spirit chariot. What is the price?"
"This weapon is invincible in the world, but the price is a bit expensive." Huang Xiaoniu returned the favor with a teasing smile on his lips.
Gao Taixiang was not deterred by Huang Xiaoniu's words, and said sternly: "Dali really needs this kind of weapon to fight against the barbarians, and sincerely wants to buy a giant chariot. I hope General Huang will give you a friendly price."
"If Prime Minister Gao is sincere, then I will give you an honest quote, one hundred thousand." Huang Xiaoniu gestured with his hands.
Gao Taixiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, with happy smiles on their faces: "One hundred thousand copper coins, this Dali country can bear it if it falls."
"Prime Minister Li, one hundred thousand is not a copper coin," Huang Xiaoniu shook his head, with a playful smile on his lips, "but one hundred thousand taels of gold."
"What, this weapon is so expensive? It costs one hundred thousand taels of gold?" Gao Miao suddenly dropped the tea in the bamboo tube and fell to the ground with a thud.
How much is one hundred thousand taels of gold? It is equivalent to tens of millions of taels of gold in the Song Dynasty, and is almost as much as the wealth of Dali in one year.
