PFC Chapter 1366
Chapter 1366
"You killed Marquis Jingchuan, Cao Zhen... with this thing in your hand?"
Xu Miaojin stared wide-eyed at Zhu Yunwen, who was calmly putting away his gun and reaching into the pouch at his waist to retrieve a gunpowder pack. She asked incredulously.
The others present had no idea what had caused the gunshot.
But Xu Miaojin was right next to Zhu Yunwen, and she knew better than anyone where the gunshot had come from.
Moreover, she personally witnessed Zhu Yunwen casually raise that strange-looking thing in his hand, watched him aim, and watched his finger twitch...
Then, the next moment, Cao Zhen fell from his horse.
It's impossible that there's no connection between them.
However, even though Xu Miaojin was the person who witnessed everything up close, her eyes and mind didn't quite catch all the information—Tong Yun and Cao Zhen were quite a distance apart, with her elder brother and his many soldiers in between... how could they have killed Cao Zhen so easily?
Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
Zhu Yunwen nonchalantly weighed the gunpowder packet in his hand and looked at her, saying, "Didn't I say I was going to send these traitors to the imperial prison today?"
“You did say that, but…” Xu Miaojin knew what he meant, but she hadn’t thought it was possible before. Now, her almost unshakable belief began to crack: “What you have in your hand… is that a musket?”
As the daughter of a military commander, she had naturally seen firearms before.
However, the flintlock muskets of today are so different from the muskets used in the army that Xu Miaojin never considered the flintlock musket in Zhu Yunwen's hands to be a musket.
"Yes and no," Zhu Yunwen answered Xu Miaojin's question with exceptional honesty as he unpacked the gunpowder packet in his hand.
"What do you mean?" Xu Miaojin didn't understand.
"I can use this thing to hit wherever I want, but a musket can't." As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen put in a second bullet.
Xu Miaojin frowned slightly and said, "You can hit it wherever you point it? How is that possible? Don't think that just because I'm a woman I don't know anything about military equipment. My father is Xu Da, the Prince of Zhongshan. I've heard my father say before that using a musket is like rolling dice; you never know where it will fly! It's a good thing, but it's not easy to use."
As she was speaking, she saw Zhu Yuntong loading gunpowder and bullets and immediately became anxious: "Wait! You just fired one shot, and you're firing a second one so soon? It'll explode! I've heard my father say before that quite a few people in the army have been injured because of this!"
Zhu Yunwen smiled faintly and looked at him casually, saying, "Your version is outdated; it's no longer prone to exploding."
……
Now let's talk about the nobles of Huaixi.
"I go!"
Seizing the opportunity, the one who rode off on horseback was Sang Jing, the Earl of Huixian, who inherited the title from his father, Sang Shijie. Among the many senior military marquises of Huaixi, he was one of the younger ones.
His military achievements were not as illustrious as those of the older generation, but he still wanted to show off at this time.
Or, in his view, although the Ming Dynasty would still nominally belong to Zhu Yunwen, the Kaiqian Emperor, after today, it would actually belong to their Huaixi military group. This move was also to increase his own influence and weight in the future.
Sang Jing reacted quickly.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, they had already run quite a distance away.
The remaining Huai Xi military commanders all looked regretful and exasperated, angrily complaining, "Hey! Sang Jing, you little brat! You really know how to rob, damn it!"
This is a great achievement for Sang Jing, and it is no different for others.
I didn't get to eat that piece of fatty meat that I was sure I'd get my hands on.
Everyone was naturally annoyed.
"Damn it, this kid Sang Jing got off easy..."
Now that the matter was settled, they could only grumble resentfully before focusing their attention on the road ahead.
