After returning home from the palace, Zhou Jun sat in the middle hall and looked out the door quietly.
After a while, accompanied by the maid, Yin Yu entered the hall.
Yin Yu, who has a plain voice, remains as pretty as ever, but her complexion is paler and her figure has lost a lot of weight. She must have been under a lot of mental pressure in recent days.
She came to Zhou Jun, said a thousand blessings, and bowed her head in silence.
The latter looked at her and said softly: "I went to visit Your Majesty."
Yin Yu's body trembled, she bit her lip gently and stopped talking.
Zhou Jun did not talk about Li Longji's current situation, but instead talked about another matter: "The criminals have confessed that that night in Liangzhou City, the clans colluded with the intention of kidnapping you and Xiao'er. Do you know?"
Yin Yu nodded lightly.
Zhou Jun: "I have led troops to fight abroad, and have fought against Tibetan, Turkic, and Yan armies, etc., but there is one type of people that I despise the most... knowing that something cannot be done, they still want to bring disaster to their families.
The despicable behavior of such people is intolerable to justice!"
When Yin Yu heard this, she vaguely realized that Zhou Jun was talking about the family on the surface, but in fact he was alluding to the palace.
Zhou Jun said in a deep voice: "The backyard of the mansion was burned to ruins by a fire. If Luo Anyuan hadn't led his troops to resist the enemy, Zhou's entire family would have been slaughtered. Let me tell you, outsiders criticize Kong.
You are cruel, but I think he did a good job."
Yin Yu thought of what happened that night, her body trembled slightly, and she called softly: "Erlang."
Zhou Jun: "Your Majesty, don't worry about giving medicine, clothing, food, etc. I will never make things difficult for you."
Yin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Zhou Jun changed the topic: "Where is Xiao'er?"
Yin Yu: "Xiao'er is in Yi Nan Lu, and Lady Yuhuan is teaching him his lessons."
Zhou Jun was stunned: "Is the imperial concubine here?"
Yin Yu nodded and said: "Witnessing the incident in Liangcheng that night, Lady Yuhuan was also frightened. Like my father, she fell seriously ill in the palace. When I went to visit my father, although he could not
Talk, but hold the pen in your mouth, and ask me to ask Madam Yuhuan if she would like to come back with me."
Li Longji asked Yang Yuhuan to follow Yin Yu out of the palace?
Zhou Jun, who had some doubts in his heart, shook his head and said to Yin Yu: "You and the imperial concubine are close friends and have been inseparable in Chang'an City. Since you are here, let her stay well."
Yin Yu responded.
Zhou Jun added: "Tomorrow, you ask Xiao'er to come to the study, and I'll give him some questions to see how he learns?"
Yin Yu responded again.
Zhou Jun looked at his thin wife, sighed in his heart, pulled the latter into his arms, and said softly: "The world is difficult and dangerous, and people's hearts are treacherous. If anyone dares to harm you and Xiao'er, no matter who he is, I will
Even if I risk my life, I will protect you."
When Yin Yu heard this, she felt moved and sweet in her heart, and her tears slowly flowed down.
Due to his continuous Taoist cultivation of Yinmen and his long military career, Zhou Jun had never been exposed to female sex. Zhou Jun couldn't help but not feel tired at all, but he was very sober.
Zhou Jun gently covered Yin Yu with the quilt and exited the room.
He casually put on a robe. Zhou Jun couldn't sleep, so he simply went to the study room in the side room, lit the candlestick, took out the official documents, and started reading.
Li Siye used the Crouching Tiger Cannon in Boling City to defeat the Yiluohe cavalry.
The military newspaper said that the Tiger Crouching Cannon can exert maximum lethality in narrow terrain. However, there are many restrictions on its use.
First of all, due to the use of granular gunpowder, the firing recoil is relatively large, so before the Tiger Crouching Cannon can be used, a hole must be dug to erect the gun body, which takes a certain amount of time and also places certain requirements on the gunner's erection capabilities.
Secondly, when the Tiger Crouching Cannon fires shotgun shells, it must be close to the enemy at a certain distance. The optimal distance is probably between ten and fifteen steps. At such a close distance, if the enemy is infantry, it would be fine.
Okay, but if the enemy is cavalry, there will be casualties in the battle.
Thirdly, although the iron material used in the Tiger Crouching Cannon was reinforced with iron hoops, two of the 120 gun barrels still exploded after two rounds of salvo fire. Although the probability is not high, but
In high-intensity battles, if the materials of the artillery cannot be improved, great losses will occur.
Finally, Li Siye said in the military newspaper that Pugu Huaien pointed out a problem with the Tiger Crouching Cannon after the war.
This kind of weapon, if used frequently, will soon be discovered by the enemy.
The enemy only needs to form a formation with a large shield, advance slowly, and then place the crossbowmen in the rear formation and use the projectile method to attack. Then the Crouching Tiger Cannon is limited in range. Firstly, it cannot match the accuracy of the crossbow. Secondly, even if the enemy
At close range, the iron sand and stone bullets fired by the Crouching Tiger Cannon are not powerful enough to penetrate the heavy shield.
The Yiluohe Iron Cavalry led by Li Guiren suffered a big loss in front of the Tiger Crouching Cannon. The main reason was that they had never seen such weapons before, causing confusion between the men and horses and trampling on each other. After the war, statistics showed that they were hit by artillery.
Only a hundred people were killed, but nearly a thousand were killed due to cavalry falling off their horses and being trampled.
Zhou Jun looked thoughtful after reading this battle report.
At this moment, the door of the study room was opened. Xiao Qingchan walked in and saw Zhou Jun sitting at the desk. He looked surprised and exclaimed: "I saw there was still fire here. I thought I forgot to put out the candle.
But I didn’t expect Erlang to still be awake.”
Zhou Jun put down the military report, looked at Xiao Qingchan, and asked: "It's so late at night, and you haven't fallen asleep yet?"
Xiao Qingchan lowered her gaze, glanced at Zhou Jun secretly, and said with a red face: "There is movement in the room. Qingchan is next door, so naturally she can't sleep."
Zhou Jun lowered his head and glanced at himself. He was stunned for a moment, and then waved to Xiao Qingchan.
Xiao Qingchan looked embarrassed and could only walk over cautiously with broken steps.
Zhou Jun wanted to reach out to hold Xiao Qingchan, but the latter seemed to remember something. He took a step back first, and then said, "Wait a minute, Erlang, I'll go take a look."
Seeing Xiao Qingchan quickly leaving the study, Zhou Jun was a little confused.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Not long after, Xiao Qingchan returned to the study, turned around and inserted the door bolt, and said to Zhou Jun: "The princess is asleep."
Zhou Jun laughed dumbly: "Why do you have to be so careful?"
Xiao Qingchan walked to Zhou Jun's side and said softly: "I have my duties as a concubine."
Zhou Jun shook his head and pulled Xiao Qingchan into his arms. Seeing that although she was over thirty years old, she had white teeth and beautiful eyebrows, and said with emotion: "I have been fighting abroad for many years, but I have suffered a lot from you."
Xiao Qingchan gently rested her head on Zhou Jun's chest and whispered: "Qingchan knows that Erlang is a hero who saves the world. How can there be any complaints... However, there is one thing that makes Qingchan a little miserable."
Zhou Jun: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Qingchan: "Princess, Ruo'e, and the lady from the Jin family who is far away in Anxi all have children. Only Qingchan has tried so many times, but she still has no results."
Zhou Jun advised: "Most of this kind of thing happens naturally and cannot be rushed."
Xiao Qingchan: "I am three years older than Erlang. I can see that I am old and sallow. Why are you not in a hurry?"
Zhou Jun held up Xiao Qingchan's chin with his hand and said with a smile: "You are not much different now from when we first met... Some women's looks are naturally incompatible with time."
Xiao Qingchan thought for a moment and then said: "In the past, I would have thought that Erlang's words were just words of comfort. However, since I met the noble concubine a few days ago, Qingchan truly believes that there are some women in this world.
, I was born to be the most beautiful person in my country, and the more I live, the more beautiful I become, and I have nothing to do with the years.”
When Zhou Jun heard this, his memory returned to the house in Luoyang, and the beautiful figure behind the curtain vaguely appeared in his mind.
Xiao Qingchan felt the changes in Zhou Jun's body, her cheeks turned red, she grabbed the latter's robe, and gently called out again: "Erlang."
Zhou Jun lowered his head and hugged the woman in his arms tightly.
