The journey of the heavens starts from the underground transportation station

Is anyone holding weapons to invite others to be guests? After not coming to the Central Plains for a long time, Jiumozhi even suspected that the customs of the Central Plains had changed. Didn't it mean that everyone in the Song Dynasty was polite and polite? Could it be those Tubo people who returned from the Song Dynasty?

Did the envoy lie to me?

"My master always meant this when he said please." Lu Xiuyuan shook the crossbow in his hand and grinned.

"Hey!"

This was clearly a threat! Jiumozhi understood now, and stared in surprise. He carefully looked at this unknown soldier who dared to threaten him with a mere crossbow. Seeing that Lu Xiuyuan was tall and strong, he seemed to be practicing foreign martial arts.

Practicing methods are just for this life

His appearance is not good. He has a thin head, inverted triangular eyes, and a fierce look. His cheeks are shriveled and look like a sharp mouth, and he also has two mustaches. He looks funny and sinister, like a nine-foot-old man with a doll's head. It's very

Uncoordinated.

Jiumozhi silently counted, but there were only about thirty people. How could a few crossbows do anything to him? The masters of these people underestimated the heroes of the world! It is true that people in the world have always been suppressed by the imperial army. The most feared weapon is

It's just a crossbow, but it's a crossbowmen forming a military formation. It's not enough if there are too few!

"Haha, little monk, what if you don't go?" Jiumozhi narrowed his eyes, and his tone was strong and threatening, as if he was about to take action in the next second.

"Your master hides his head and shows his tail. He talks about admiring the young monk, but doesn't even show his face. Such a villain behaves, but the young monk disdains to interact with him! The young monk and the Prince of Zhennan of Dali have important matters, so I'll leave!"

Although he said goodbye, Jiumozhi didn't move, staring at Lu Xiuyuan's hand, for fear that he would suddenly pull the trigger of the crossbow and attack from behind.

Next to Jiumozhi, Duan Yu saw that the atmosphere was tense, as if he was about to take action in the next second. He thought for a while, took a step forward, and planned to persuade him; Cui Baiquan and Guo Yanzhi looked at each other and understood.

What the other party means: The enemy of my enemy is my friend! Although these handsome men in rich robes don’t look like good people, they don’t care much. They will take action later, and the two of them will save the young prince and leave!

"Haha." Of course Lu Xiuyuan knows the temperament of these people in the world. The boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the second boss and the third boss are dissatisfied with the government. They talk about the court's hawks and dogs. Therefore, he refuses to accept Jiumozhi's invitation.

Without further ado, he handed the crossbow to his left hand, lifted up his brocade robe with his free right hand, took out something from the cowhide bag tied to the outside of his thigh, and pointed it directly at the peach tree next to Jiumozhi.

Bang!

An explosion startled the birds in the peach forest. Jiumozhi looked at the dark object with a puff of green smoke in Lu Xiuyuan's hand, and then looked at the trunk of the peach tree next to him.

, a small hole the size of a broad bean appeared on the tree trunk, three-thirds of the way into the wood.

What kind of hidden weapon is this! What is being launched! Its speed is so fast that I can’t even see it clearly? Its power is comparable to the Six Meridians Divine Sword that I have been seeking so hard to find!? A drop of cold sweat dripped down Jiumozhi’s temples, but

What made Jiumozhi even more horrified was that the group of people on the opposite side actually put down their crossbows and pulled out hidden weapons that looked the same as those in Lu Xiuyuan's hand?

Jiumozhi was really panicking this time. Two months ago at Dali Tianlong Temple, he had been defeated by Duan Yu's Six Meridians Divine Sword. If Duan Yu hadn't had any fighting experience, he would have heard him shout, "Stay here."

"So he gave up and took the opportunity to sneak attack and capture him. In that battle, he was the unlucky one.

But now, dozens of strange hidden weapons that are no less than the Six Meridians Divine Sword are pointing at him, how can this be a good thing?

Seeing Jiumozhi's expression of hesitation and embarrassment, Lu Xiuyuan secretly laughed in his heart. Jiumozhi was completely frightened.

What Lu Xiuyuan is holding is an upgraded version of the short-fire musket that was manufactured last month, a six-shot revolver. However, because the material is not up to standard, the barrel can only be thickened, making it particularly thick and bulky. For this kind of industry

Even if they are rubbish, they cannot be mass-produced. They are made bit by bit by the top craftsmen in the workshop. They are purely handmade products. The monthly output is only two or three handfuls. Today, Li Yu only has a handful of them.

It fires fixed-loaded paper-cased ammunition. It is a handmade product. The caliber is inevitably inconsistent, so the warhead has a cork base; the smooth bore, granular black powder, has low power and insufficient kinetic energy, so the effective range is only twenty or thirty meters, and the ballistic trajectory will be unstable any further.

Moreover, the primer mercury fulminate required for firing is a pure laboratory product, expensive and in small quantities, so this kind of bullet is very expensive, and only high-level officials like Lu Xiuyuan can assemble it.

Valley

In fact, what the rest of the Jin Yiwei were holding were single-shot, flintlock, short-handed blunderbuss that used paper shells to hold gunpowder bullets. It's just that the two looked similar.

However, with such a firepower configuration, Jiumozhi cannot avoid it just by relying on his martial arts skills.

Because there are too many tm! The muzzle velocity of the bullet is also relatively fast. Although it does not reach the speed of sound, it is not something that the human eye can capture.

Li Yu has already tested it on some martial arts people who committed crimes. This is a Chinese martial arts world. There is no such thing as body-protecting aura or three-foot air guns. Hot weapons still work well!

"Well, Master, you are a member of the Buddhist family, why do you need to fight and kill people?" Duan Yu said bravely: "These... Since they are here to invite me, they must be warm and hospitable, so it is better to meet them."

Although he was also captured, Duan Yu, a kind-hearted man, still wanted to avoid this dispute as much as possible.

Cui Baiquan swallowed his saliva, moved two steps to the side, away from Jiumozhi, and advised dryly: "Master, it's better not to do anything."

Cui Baiquan was not afraid of the crossbow just now, but this time it was a powerful concealed weapon, and Cui Baiquan no longer dared to think of a snipe and a clam competing for the fisherman's profit: Who knows whether the concealed weapon is accurate or not!?

I really want to take action, but I have to dare!? Jiumozhi cursed in his heart, the situation was stronger than the others, so he had no choice but to follow Duan Yu's words, get off the donkey and said: "Forget it, since your master is so hospitable, then

The young monk went to see me and asked your envoy to lead the way."

Jiumozhi still had an idea at this time. Could it be that the Song Dynasty court was already equipped with such a sharp weapon? Then Tubo would be in danger! He might as well take advantage of the meeting to find out!

"Master, please come this way. My master is at the edge of Linshen Lake."

Lu Xiuyuan led the way, followed by Jiumozhi, Duan Yu and four other people. The Jinyi guards were still semi-surrounded, their guns were not put away, and they were "protected" by their sides.

Beside Taihu Lake, Li Yu poured Su Shi a glass of plum wine brewed last year. You Qi didn't stop, took two more empty cups, filled them with wine one after another, and said with a smile: "Mr. Dongpo, the two distinguished guests I'm waiting for should be

Coming soon."

As he was talking, he saw Lu Xiuyuan leading four people over to the peach grove and stopping not far away. Lu Xiuyuan was about to step forward to report when Li Yu waved from a distance: "Please come and sit down, some distinguished guests.

"

"Your Highness, you miscalculated," Su Shi glanced at the people who came over, smiled slightly, and joked: "You poured two glasses of wine, but four people came."

"This is easy to handle," Li Yu joked without thinking, "I just invited the Tubo Imperial Master and the Prince of Zhennan, and the extra two will be thrown away."

Huh? Cui Baiquan and Guo Yanzhi, who had just walked closer, widened their eyes. The two extra people were us!?
