They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Chapter 154 No kneeling!

Langya Mountain has a high elevation, but the training grounds and residences are located in an inconspicuous low-lying area.

This is specifically designed to prevent unforeseen circumstances.

If a large army were to invade, the buildings on high ground would be conspicuous, but there would be no one there at all.

However, it was easier for soldiers and people in low-lying areas to escape.

Su Luo came from the mountains, naturally overlooking the training ground from a high vantage point. When they spotted him, he stopped and looked down.

Hundreds of people bowed down in his direction, a truly magnificent sight.

"stand up!"

Su Luo, however, spoke with displeasure: "Get up! Don't kneel!"

The Yanhuang Army soldiers were stunned, not expecting that their kneeling would elicit such an attitude from Su Luo.

Even Zhang Yu couldn't help but say, "Young Master, our brothers are filled with respect and admiration for you..."

Su Luo shook her head and said very seriously, "I know. But you're not allowed to kneel!"

He looked at the crowd below and said, "Get up!"

"The Yanhuang Army will not kneel to Heaven and Earth, nor to the Emperor! The relationship between us is merely that of leader and follower!"

"A relationship that doesn't require kneeling!"

"You have sacrificed for me, and I will lead you to a better life!"

"This is our relationship... a relationship that doesn't require kneeling. All your efforts, all your struggles... should be for yourselves, for your families!"

"Not for me!"

"Get up! Don't kneel!"

These few words seem to have deeply touched people's hearts.

This was something they had never heard of before.

Even though the imperial court claims to be leading them towards happiness, it often ends up with even higher taxes.

As for Su Luo, the benefits are real; the meat he eats and the money he receives are tangible.

In this situation, everyone stood up and cast ardent glances at Su Luo.

These few words elevated their admiration for Su Luo to a whole new level. In their eyes, Su Luo was now truly like a god.

Su Luo didn't think too much about it. After all, he was a transmigrator, and there were many things he didn't like.

For example, kneeling before someone in a superior position... Haha, he doesn't like kneeling.

He also doesn't like others kneeling before him.

This made Su Luo feel like he was a statue on an altar, which seemed absurd.

From beginning to end, Su Luo simply wanted to bring about some changes to the world and demonstrate his abilities.

To realize one's ambitions, or rather, one's aspirations.

However, if Su Luo wants to become emperor... then Su Luo feels that it's not very interesting.

……

Upon arriving at the workshop, Shen Laosan was overjoyed to see Su Luo.

Then, he handed a musket to Su Luo.

"Young master, you've come at the perfect time. The first batch of these things called muskets has just come out..."

Shen Laosan said to Su Luo, "Why don't you give it a try?"

The Si family and others have now integrated into the Yanhuang Army and no longer call Su Luo "son-in-law".

Even Ye Hu and Shen Laosan started calling Su Luo "Young Master".

Upon hearing this, Su Luo looked at his disheveled appearance and her lips twitched.

"Uncle Shen, isn't your purpose a little too obvious...?"

"These first batch of muskets are the ones that keep exploding, right? You actually want me to try them out?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Laosan's expression froze, and he glared fiercely at Su Luo: "Young Master, this is really not funny..."

"You're so smart, when will I be able to trick you?"

"The way you're saying it makes it sound like I've ever cheated you..."

Su Luo glanced at Shen Laosan speechlessly and said, "I remember telling you that if we could develop a musket, it would indeed greatly enhance our strength..."

"However, this thing is, after all, related to gunpowder. There will inevitably be many unstable factors in the research and development process. Do not try it casually before it is completely completed."

"But you were too eager for quick success and didn't listen to me at all; you just tried it out..."

"Luckily, not much gunpowder was used, otherwise, not only would you be covered in soot, your entire arm might have exploded!"

Shen Laosan became increasingly embarrassed and coughed, "I thought gunpowder wasn't too difficult to produce, and firearms shouldn't be too hard to control either..."

"Who would have thought..."

At the same time, his gaze toward Su Luo became increasingly adoring.

"Wait a minute, young master, how did you know my musket experiment failed?!"

"I didn't tell you... to be precise, I didn't tell anyone..."

Su Luo was even more speechless after hearing this.

He had people relay news about Shen Laosan to him almost every day, and Su Luo would also know whatever Shen Laosan was thinking or doing.

If there are any questions, Su Luo can answer them in the shortest amount of time.

Under these circumstances, when Shen Laosan appeared looking disheveled, Su Luo knew that this guy had planned to make a musket, but had failed.

"Forget it...you should go back to working on your musket..."

Su Luo shook his head, then became serious and asked, "By the way, if I gave you some time, how long would it take you to get the muskets ready to be used on the battlefield?!"

"My troops should have their first batch of cavalry appearing after seven days of training. If the cavalry are equipped with muskets, their combat effectiveness will increase significantly."

"If our Yanhuang Army could have such a cavalry, we would be able to fight even against the troops from Qingzhou."

Old Man Shen's expression also turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Young Master, perfecting this musket is not so easy..."

"Although you have provided the blueprints, our craftsmanship is not yet advanced enough to achieve such precision."

"Seven days is the most we can do to make a slight improvement... I have no idea what the final musket will look like."

"If a guarantee is absolutely necessary, then five times seven is thirty-five... five cycles, which is about a month later. I think we should be able to produce a controllable musket."

Hearing this, Su Luo patted Shen Laosan on the shoulder, "Okay, I believe you, Uncle Shen."

"Although you weren't on the front lines, you still worked hard... You deserve at least more than a third of the credit for our victory."

"If you have the chance in the future, I will not refuse you anything you want."

Old Shen chuckled, "Young master, you flatter me... If it weren't for the salary telling me that I could still shine in the workshop, I wouldn't know what use I would be..."

He became very excited when he said this, because in Shen Laosan's eyes, Su Luo had simply saved his life...
