Chapter 104: I will marry you in the future

During these three months of being alone, Shi Lei fully realized Nian Ci's meticulousness. Shi Lei was very moved by her gentleness and thoughtfulness.

In the morning, before Shi Lei got up, the meal was already ready. Shi Lei looked at Nian Ci, who was concentrating on roasting chicken, and stepped forward with a smile, hugging her from behind.

"Brother Lei!" Mu Nianci froze, her voice trembling with surprise.

Shi Lei rubbed his cheek against her and said softly: "Nianci, I'm sorry! For such a long time, I have never officially expressed your feelings for me. I have also been choosing to escape. I will never do it again. When I defeat my master

After that, let’s get married, okay?”

"Yeah, brother Lei, are you telling the truth?" Nian Ci asked with a trembling voice.

Shi Lei smiled, sat next to her and looked at her: "Why are you unhappy?"

"No, no!" Nian Ci wiped away her tears: "I'm just so happy. I'm really happy to hear Brother Lei personally say that he wants to marry me."

Shi Lei looked away, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Okay, let's wait until I defeat my master to discuss this matter. Your roast chicken is going to be burnt."

He was indeed confirmed to marry Mu Nianci. But he always felt mixed emotions. He did like Mu Nianci. He was absolutely sure of this. But he didn't like Tang Xinyi? Didn't he like Lin Wanyu?

"Brother Lei, is your master very powerful?"

"Well, that's right! How can a person who can create the Nine-Yang Divine Art not be powerful? It's just that he doesn't like fighting with others. I don't know how powerful he is."

Mu Nianci asked: "How does it compare with this master?"

Shi Lei shook his head: "I don't know, this master's name is Dugu Qiubai. He has been invincible in the world a long time ago. Because he couldn't get a defeat, he lived here in seclusion, with Brother Diao as his companion. According to what he said,

I also met my master in Shaolin Temple at the beginning. But that master was not easy to fight with, so I wanted to have a drinking contest with him to discuss the outcome. There should be no comparison."

Mu Nianci sighed: "You can't win even if you lose. This is really a peerless master."

Three months later, Shi Lei and Mu Nianci packed their things. Shi Lei asked the Divine Eagle: "Brother Diao, are you really not going to come with us?"

"唳"

The divine eagle chirped and flew back to Dugu Qiubai's grave. Shi Lei nodded: "In that case, please take care of yourself, brother eagle. I will come and see you when I have time."

"唳"

The divine eagle flew to Shi Lei again, hovering at low altitude and chirping non-stop. Shi Lei smiled and nodded: "Brother Eagle, thank you very much!"

Shi Lei pulled Mu Nianci and jumped onto the back of the divine eagle. He quickly returned to Xiangyang City. After the divine eagle sent the two of them back, he left directly.

He said hello to everyone. Shi Lei, as always, immediately learned about the situation during this period after coming back.

Yang Tiexin cupped his fists and said: "Young Master, the artillery test has been successful. There are ten artillery pieces in total. They can fire ten artillery shells within a period of time, and cannot exceed a hundred artillery shells in a day. And after firing a hundred artillery shells, it is basically

It can no longer be used."

Shi Lei was surprised: "Let's go and have a look!"

For Shi Lei, no matter what kind of cannon or gun it is, as long as it has the materials. But the most difficult thing in this era is that the materials must meet the standards. Especially the barrel and gun barrel. If the materials are not up to standards, then there is nothing to say about exploding the chamber! Then

The casualties are our own.

But there is no need to worry about this aspect. Shi Lei naturally knows several ways to reach the standard. It just needs to be tested.

The artillery now manufactured is only equivalent to the Hongyi cannon of the Ming Dynasty. It is made of bronze and has several pipe rings outside the barrel. Moreover, the wall of this kind of cannon is very thick.

This was made by Shi Lei based on the ancient Hongyi cannon. As for why he wanted to create the Hongyi cannon, it was mainly because he couldn't find the cannon that Shi Lei wanted yet, so he built a few Hongyi cannons first for emergency use.

.

Now the arsenal is mainly making steel gun barrels. This is a delicate job that requires a lot of experiments. As long as the gun barrel is successfully made, Shi Lei can make many things. Whether it is cannons, mortars or howitzers.

The future is not a problem.

When we arrived at the arsenal, we were guarded by soldiers, all of whom were always on alert with their swords unsheathed and their crossbows cocked.

"Oh, young master, you are here. Come and see this cannon we made!"

As soon as Shi Lei and the other three entered, an old man came over and said excitedly. Shi Lei said with a smile: "Mr. Deng, thank you for your hard work. Take us to see it first!"

This is a very open place outside the city. Ten artillery pieces were neatly placed. As Shi Lei nodded, the cannons roared!

The distance is only about seven or eight hundred meters. A heavy cannon has only this range. But this is just the most primitive Hongyi cannon, and it's not bad at all.

Shi Lei nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Deng, that's right! Everyone in the arsenal deserves a big reward. I'll give you ten days of vacation. You can spend some time with your family."

Mr. Deng's face was full of smiles: "Thank you young master, but ten days is too long. We only need one day. Just go back and take a look. We still have a lot of things to do."

Shi Lei nodded: "It's up to you. But the bonus cannot be less, two hundred taels of silver. The people in your arsenal will allocate it by themselves."

Shi Lei and others went to look at other research projects, such as gun barrels, gun barrels, trigger shells, etc. They also put forward many opinions.

After leaving the arsenal, Shi Lei summoned many important people under his command.

Yang Tiexin, Mr. Lu, the six Junzi brothers (this is the nickname everyone used to tease Shi Li and the others), several generals in the army, and several political commissars.

Shi Lei looked at the packed crowd and said, "It's almost time. Shi Li, how is the situation in Luzhou and Yangzhou? Is there any hope?"

Shi Li said with a smile: "After we opened the restaurant there, we followed the wishes of the young master to promote our ideas in those two places. From the beginning, many people agreed with our ideas. Gradually, it also affected the army. After three years,

Not long ago, the city lord of Yangzhou came to seek refuge in person. He has been waiting for the young master's summons. The city lord of Luzhou was a little stubborn. Our people had already penetrated into their army. After our

It was spread that his soldiers had long been dissatisfied with the imperial court, but he criticized the army and even killed several people because of such rumors."

Shi Lei nodded: "Unexpectedly, Yangzhou has surrendered, so we need to surrender. Uncle Yang, you lead an army of 20,000 people and bring those ten artillery pieces with you. Shi Li, go tell the city lord of Yangzhou and ask him to send troops to support you if possible.

Shi Yu, if you let the news out, we must capture Luzhou. If we cannot capture it peacefully, then we will have to use force."
