Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan continued with a smile: "I met the eldest prince in the Ministry of War. The eldest prince said that the envoy of Yue will arrive in a few days. The third prince of Yue will come. The eldest prince asked me to go out of the capital with me to meet the envoy."

This is the first time Gu Yuan has met Chu Yi, the eldest prince who once served as a proton in Yue Kingdom for eight years.

Before that, he thought that the eldest prince had been in Yue for many years and would be cowardly. Until today, he met. From the words and deeds of the eldest prince, he realized that the eldest prince was different from what he thought before.

When the eldest prince mentioned the third prince of Yue, he looked calm, without any caution, nor humility and caution. He was definitely not a person with weak temperament. He had not crushed his pride for eight years, nor did he make him humble and bowed to Yue.

"Meow!" Qingguang seemed to understand, and remembered a human who had pinched the back of its neck.

Humph, a bold and stupid human!!

Qingguang was about to look up at Gu Yuan, but Gu Yanfei pressed his hands on the back of his neck with one hand.

Gu Yanfei patted it on the back twice perfunctorily, meaning that you would eat yours very well.

The cat surrendered.

Gu Yuan took another sip of tea and continued: "The visit to Yue Kingdom was temporarily decided this month."

"In recent years, Dajing and Yue have been considered as a good deal, and there are only some ordinary trade deals. It was not until the emperor ascended the throne and returned to the country in order to replace the eldest prince, the emperor spent more than half a year to barely suppress those high-ranking families and agreed to the drawing of a firearm in Yue, so that the saints of Yue agreed to release them."

Gu Yuan was not aware of the agreement between the two countries on firearm drawings. He saw the eldest prince in the Ministry of War today, and the eldest prince told him in person...

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan's eyes were slightly cold, and he continued: "Because the two countries distrust each other, the emperor only gave Yue Kingdom half a drawing. This time, the third prince of Yue Kingdom came to Dajing in person just for the other half drawing."

These Yue people are simply a wolfish ambition!

Gu Yuan's eyes were dark and dark, and his hands holding the teacup were subconsciously tensed.

He had a deep hatred for killing his father with Yue State, how could he forget it and how could he let it go!

"What firearm?" Gu Yanfei bit the soft and fluffy pastry and asked curiously.

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Yanfei after hearing the sound, and his eyes suddenly softened, and he explained: "When Emperor Taizu was alive, he improved the colloid gun and named it the 'Flintlock gun'."

As we all know, Emperor Taizu was a genius. He not only had the best knowledge of civil and military affairs in the world, but also had a wealth of knowledge and was proficient in various miscellaneous studies. He invented glass, mercury mirrors, soaps, and improved springs, weaving machines, movable type printing techniques, etc., countless of them.

Thinking of Emperor Taizu's various great achievements, Gu Yuan's handsome face seemed to shine, and he could not hide his respect and yearning for Emperor Taizu.

"Although the original combing gun is far more powerful than the bows and arrows, swords and guns, its defects are also obvious. It takes a lot of time to load gunpowder and projectiles. It also requires lighting the fuse to fire, and the shooting is not accurate."

"After Emperor Taizu's improvement, the new 'Flintlock rifle' used flint to strike fire not only greatly simplified the shooting process, but also launched two or three times faster than the combing rifle, but also improved the shooting accuracy."

"Once a good soldier masters the 'Flintlock rifle' skillfully, he is equivalent to having the ability to fight a hundred."

Gu Yuan couldn't help but shine, and his whole body seemed to be a sword about to be unsheathed, and he could go to the battlefield at any time.

At first, Gu Yanfei just asked casually. As he listened, he heard a little interest and asked enthusiastically: "Brother, do you have a flintlock rifle?"

"Yes." Gu Yuan nodded and smiled docilely, "I'll have someone come here for you to play with."

He really had a flintlock rifle. When he went to the Ministry of War, Chu Yi gave him a flintlock rifle.

So Gu Yuan called Juan Bi in and told her to go to Chenghuiyuan to find Wutong to get it.

After Juan Bi went out, Gu Yuan pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, then he asked the question that had been circling in his heart for a long time: "Sister, do you recognize the eldest prince?"

His sister should have nothing to do with the eldest prince, but today the eldest prince told him that he could tell his sister the errands he was going to do without any concealment, forcing him to make this idea.

"Yes." Gu Yanfei nodded honestly and answered honestly.

That's true!

Gu Yuan didn't want to ask them how they met. In his opinion, the eldest prince should be able to remember her as a sister is so outstanding.

Gu Yanfei picked up a piece of plum blossom cake for Gu Yuan with chopsticks and asked in a chat: "Brother, have you been to Yueguo?"

"I have seen in the book that speak many dialects of Yue Kingdom, and some places have dozens of dialects in a state."

Gu Yanfei is not familiar with Yue Kingdom at all.

In her previous life, her world was too small, with only this small Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and she didn't even know much about the capital, let alone the distant Yue Kingdom.

Gu Yuan bit his prune cake and shook his head. When his dark phoenix eyes met Gu Yanfei's curious eyes, they were warm and softer.

He adjusted his thoughts and smiled, "I haven't been there, but I heard from my friends."

"The Yue Kingdom produces a lot of tea and silk. Many cloth shops on Dayan Street sell the Yue Kingdom's silk. Some people often say that the Yue Kingdom's silk dyed the spring water of the south of the Yangtze River, which is more graceful than the materials of the Dajing."

"One day I'll take you to the Dayan Street area, which is also called Nanyue Street. Many shops on the street sell Nanyue goods, snacks, kites, embroidered screens, purses, round fans..."

"By the way, there is a theater on Dayan Street. I have invited a opera troupe from Nanyue and sang operas from Nanyue, which has a unique flavor."

Gu Yuan racked his brains and said it. All he said was what his friends said, so it was a bit mixed and a bit scattered.

"Brother," Gu Yanfei leaned slightly, leaned closer to him, and pinched Gu Yuan's cuffs coquettishly, "Then we agreed to go to the shop on Dayan Street together next time and buy some Jiangnan materials to make clothes?"

"Then, let's go to the opera troupe you mentioned to watch the opera."

In the previous life, their brother and sister missed a lot, but in this life, Gu Yanfei didn't want to miss it again.

Whatever she wants to do and like will tell Gu Yuan.

"Whatever you want to do, my brother will accompany you." Gu Yuan said yes, and even thought: Since his sister likes watching opera so much, maybe he can buy a opera troupe for her in the future. At that time, she can watch it at any time if she wants to.

However, before that, he had to save money first and then split the family with his sister!

Only after the family is separated can my sister live as she wishes, live happily and freely without being restrained in the Marquis’ Mansion.

Originally, Gu Yuan was not interested in going to Luanyiwei. No matter how glamorous the Luanyiwei was or how bright the future was, it was not what he yearned for or pursued.

But now...

Gu Yuan had a new idea.

Today, since the eldest prince has told him so much, even told him the secrets about the "Flintlock" drawings. That means that the eldest prince should have other arrangements for him...or, the eldest prince intends to use him!

Yes, it was not the time when the late emperor was reigned.

He has confidence, and with his ability, he will definitely create a world that belongs to him in the army like his father!

For the sake of his sister, he must work harder!

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but be motivated by fighting spirit. His black pupils were shining brightly, and he said with great energy: "Sister, I must have been in a ten-day vacation. Next, I will be with the eldest prince, and I am busy again..."

"After you finish your work, I will definitely take you to have fun in Beijing!"

Looking at Gu Yuan like this, a strange impulse suddenly arose in Gu Yanfei's heart, and she also wanted to touch her brother's head.

However, my brother won't be happy.

She smiled in her heart, and the smile appeared from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Girl!" Juan Bi finally came back, holding a heavy rectangular wooden box in both hands.

Gu Yuan personally opened the long wooden box, and saw a new cluster of flintlock guns quietly placed on the red velvet cloth in the box. The black and slender barrel was shining with a cold and hard luster, and there were eight or nine bullets next to the gun.

Gu Yanfei looked at the weird-shaped flintlock rifle and took it out of the box with interest, and started with heavy hands.

The little girl's arms were obviously thin enough not as thick as the barrel, but she easily grabbed the heavy flintlock rifle in her hands, as if she was snatching a long sword in her hands.

Gu Yanfei grabbed the flintlock rifle in his hand, played with it casually, touched the barrel, hooked the trigger, and touched the stock...

Gu Yuan first introduced the various parts of the flintlock rifle, and then began to teach her step by step how to clean the barrel, where to fill the gun powder, and where to fill the projectiles...

"The step of firing a gun once is much more cumbersome than shooting a bow. It takes more than ten breaths to fire once."

"However, the projectile was pushed out of the gun chamber by burning gunpowder, which was much faster than ordinary feather arrows and had greater lethality. One shot could penetrate the human skull within a hundred steps."

Gu Yuan had never used muskets, which was just when he was in the Ministry of War, the eldest prince personally demonstrated to him one or two.

It is indeed not difficult to get started. Practice makes perfect. No wonder Gu Yuan once heard Shangfeng say: "On the battlefield, training a soldier with a musket is much easier than training an archer."

He spoke very carefully, and Gu Yanfei was also very focused when he heard it, nodded frequently, touched his chin with enthusiasm and asked, "Brother, can I try it?"

This firearm, called "Flintlock Ring", is a bit like the low-level spiritual weapon in the Yaoling Realm, but its power sounds much smaller than that of the spiritual weapon.

She just took it in her hand and played with it for a while, and she understood the pros and cons of this thing. For example, the combustion of gunpowder can generate powerful thrust and push the projectile to fire, which may also affect the accuracy of the flintlock rifle at the same time.
