PFC Chapter 1360
Chapter 1360
Ru Chang looked at them in silence for a moment, still feeling uneasy and unable to let go of her worries. She could only tentatively speak again, "Your Majesty... this humble subject... this humble subject still feels..."
But the words are not finished yet.
He was then interrupted by the so-called "Commander of the Divine Machine Battalion," Wang Jinnian: "Lord Ru, do you really not trust His Majesty? Just relax! His Majesty said nothing will happen today, and nothing will happen today!"
His tone was rather arrogant, even bordering on conceited.
And that's what he said.
Wu Zhenhai, Kang Yunxiang, and Zhu Yunwen, who were standing next to him, all smiled without saying a word, remaining calm and composed, which made him look a bit silly in comparison...
Ru Chang's mind was racing with a thousand thoughts: "Wait, I'm clearly the most normal one, so why do I feel like I'm the most abnormal one? Something's not right, something's really not right!"
Ru Chang took a deep breath, feeling somewhat aggrieved, and struggled to say, "This... how can this be a matter of belief or disbelief? This is... this is... I... sigh..."
Feeling insecure after being teased, Ru Chang was at a loss for words.
Seeing his comical appearance, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but chuckle. He shook his head with a smile and then said to Wang Jinnian, "Never mind him for now! Wang Jinnian, bring out my gun! Hahahaha!"
He was in a very good mood at that moment.
Ultimately, it was all due to the threats from the nobles of Huaixi that he had been feigning compliance with them for so long. He had to pretend to be completely obedient to them and act as if he couldn't live without them. Even if Zhu Yunwen didn't care, he was always holding back inside. After today, he wouldn't have to do that anymore.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen was exceptionally spirited at this moment, and his smile was bright.
"This... alas..."
Ru Chang looked helpless and could only sigh, while frowning in confusion: "His Majesty's... gun?"
Regarding Zhu Yunwen's statement.
The image that came to his mind was a common cold weapon on the battlefield—the spear.
Naturally, he was even more confused about what Zhu Yunwen was trying to tell him: Did he really think he could hold off Lan Yu and the others all by himself with just a gun? That was absurd.
While he was pondering, Wang Jinnian immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! Knowing that Your Majesty was coming, this humble subject naturally made preparations for Your Majesty long ago!"
After saying that, he glanced at Wu Zhenhai beside him, who nodded in tacit agreement. Then, he took the long box from his back and placed it in Kang Yunxiang's hands. He opened the box and took out a flintlock pistol with a very respectful expression and movements.
With a curious look, Ru Chang craned her neck to see what was going on, only to discover that the so-called "gun" was the same strangely shaped thing that Wang Jinnian had carried on his back before, which looked a bit like a musket.
The difference is that.
This was Zhu Yunwen's personal item.
The gun barrel was also specially carved with exquisite and delicate dragon patterns, and polished to a bright shine, making it look exceptionally gorgeous.
Zhu Yuntong's lips curled into a confident and bright smile, but his expression seemed to carry an added sense of pressure.
In an instant, it was like a sword that had been hidden for many years suddenly being drawn from its sheath.
Its brilliance is fully revealed!
Zhu Yunwen looked at the gun he was used to and calmly ordered, "Training for a thousand days is for one day of use. Wang Jinnian, your Shenji Battalion, starting today, step out from the Alchemy Bureau! Have them immediately line up in formation and prepare to point their guns... at those traitors!"
He knew that he had kept everything in the Alchemy Department extremely secret and strict, and only after he gave the order did this group of people dare to step out of the Alchemy Department.
And then he heard this long-awaited command.
Wang Jinnian, who was already eager to try, became even more excited, and his voice was extremely upright and loud: "Yes! Your Majesty!!" After saying that, he jogged into the Alchemy Department.
Before long, the sound of brisk footsteps could be heard from inside the Alchemy Department.
A group of tall men dressed in tight-fitting clothes, with cloth bags hanging from their waists and "iron pipes" with very peculiar structures and shapes in their hands, surged neatly outside the alchemy department, forming groups of three, with each group standing at a certain distance from each other.
Their formation directly blocked Zhu Yunwen and the entire Alchemy Department behind them.
Besides.
Soon, people climbed up the walls on both sides of the main gate of the Alchemy Bureau. They were dressed in the same clothes, holding long spears, standing high up with solemn and imposing expressions—clearly well-trained, giving people a great sense of oppression.
"Hiss..." Seeing this grand display, Ru Chang was momentarily stunned. She couldn't help but take a deep breath in surprise, muttering to herself, "Guns... they're all holding these things. They look quite ordinary. Could this be the means His Majesty spoke of that could 'suppress the nobles of Huaixi at any time'? I can't see anything special about them."
Ru Chang's gaze swept over the group of "strange people" several times.
Soon, something was discovered.
Among this group of people... there seem to be many familiar faces! They are the sharpshooters he had previously selected and promoted according to Zhu Yunwen's instructions!
"So... the ultimate purpose of these people is to work in this alchemy department? But logically, they should be using bows and arrows to make the most of their abilities, right?"
Ru Chang was increasingly confused.
But he had calmed down a bit by now and stopped trying to persuade Zhu Yunwen. Instead, his eyes were filled with curiosity—there must be a big secret hidden in this!
Meanwhile, Zhu Yunwen's side...
Once all the musketeers had taken their positions and were ready for battle, he casually picked up the flintlock pistol that Wu Zhenhai had handed him.
He had practiced for quite some time, so he was very familiar with the gun. He narrowed his eyes, raised the gun, aimed the barrel at the open space in front of him, held it steady, aimed, and eagerly pulled the trigger. He fired a blank shot without loading any gunpowder.
A soft clinking sound of flint echoed in the air.
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and raised an eyebrow.
he knows.
In a little while, he will gently move his finger and pull the trigger, using the gun in his hand to teach those dishonest people a lesson!
Coincidentally.
Just as Zhu Yunwen was thinking this, some small, moving black dots appeared vaguely in front of him. As he looked closer, more and more of these black dots appeared...
Then came the familiar sound of horseshoes clattering.
"They're here! They really are here!" Beside Zhu Yunwen, Ru Chang stared intently at the distant location, sighing in a fearful tone.

Yesterday the review process was a bit slow, and I caught a cold tonight. I've only written half a chapter so far, so I'll post half for now. I'll add the other half later after I stay up all night to finish writing it.
