Chapter 103 The Guns Are in Place

Since getting the approval document that afternoon, Zhao was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He got up early the next day at dawn, eager to see those big guys.

After finally waiting until the morning, he hurriedly ate breakfast, went to Zhaoyu to get a horse, and headed straight to the Beijing Camp outside the city.

After running for more than an hour, Zhao complained that the horse was too slow along the way, and wanted to use light skills to run with the horse. Fortunately, reason finally suppressed the excitement in his heart, otherwise he would have been given the title of "Horse-carrying Monk".

When he arrived at the Beijing Camp, he dismounted and showed his waist badge and the approval document granted by the emperor, and came to the tent unimpeded. Just as he was about to step forward and lift the curtain, a fat man in ordinary clothes and plump walked out.

In front of the tent, Zhao squinted and saw that the fat man was an acquaintance, the poet of Nuanxiang Pavilion, Li Yizheng, the iron kidney of Beijing.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Jue stepped forward and greeted him generously, "Brother, why are you in the Beijing Camp? I was wondering, I couldn't find you in Nuanxiang Pavilion these days."

Li Yizheng was startled when he heard the voice, and his confused mind instantly came back to his senses. He stepped forward and held Zhao Jue's hand, crying, "Brother, I didn't expect to see you here. Brother, you've had a hard time! I got promoted after returning from Shu, but I didn't expect to be a lieutenant general in the Beijing Camp."

"I'm exhausted every day. I haven't taken a hot bath for seven days. My body is so smelly that I can't even hug those fairies who lined up to welcome me!"

"By the way, are the fairies in Nuanxiang Pavilion okay?"

Zhao Jue, whose hand was tightly held by Li Yizheng, was stunned. Brother is brother. He doesn't forget to care about poor women even though he is far away from the city. He is so kind! Zhao was so touched that he choked up and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'm fine. You still need me..."

"That's good, that's good..." Li Yizhen breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Zhao's hand. "By the way, why did you come to the Beijing Camp? You're not here to arrest people, are you?"

"That's not it." Zhao took out the official document from his arms and showed it to Li Yizhen. He explained the whole story. Li Yizhen didn't hesitate and agreed.

It's really easy to get things done with acquaintances. Eight experienced veterans taught Zhao how to operate the general cannon, and they didn't miss any details. This was the first time Zhao had ever been treated like this, but it was also a good thing. After a few hours, Zhao was already sure of it, and even operated a complete set of procedures himself.

With a "boom", a pit of medium size was blown out of the ground in the distance. Zhao clapped his hands with satisfaction. This power and lethality, a dream cannon!

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhao didn't stay any longer and rode his horse into the city. After running for more than an hour, Zhao Jue returned to Zhaoyu and returned the horse. Hearing that the cannon in Kuli had been registered, he did not even bother to eat, and hurriedly arranged for the oxcart to pull the cannon into the yard.

The yard was not far from the secret library, after all, they were all at the root of the imperial city. When Zhao Jue finished his meal and returned to the yard, there was already a general cannon on the ground in the front yard. Fortunately, the gate of the yard was large enough, otherwise it would not be able to be pulled in.

The two drivers stood in front of the door with their heads down. Seeing Zhao Jue coming back, they did not dare to step forward to ask for silver, but just stared at Zhao Jue. Zhao Jue shook his head helplessly, took out two hundred taels of silver from his arms, handed it to the two people, and ordered, "We will have to pull more than ten trips in the next few days. I will pay the silver in advance. Is two hundred taels enough?"

"Enough, enough! Thank you for the reward!" The two knelt down and kowtowed with the silver in their hands, with surprise on their faces.

"Are you feeling better? Come tomorrow at 7:00. Let's go." Without waiting for the two to respond, Zhao quickly walked into the yard and closed the door. As for whether the two people outside the door would come the next day, Zhao was not worried at all.

"Baby~"

Zhao stared at the cannon on the ground with lustful eyes, and couldn't move his eyes away. He touched here and there quietly, bent down and looked inside the muzzle for a while before standing up.

His face was already full of smiles. Which man could refuse such a thick thing? Looking at the cannon as if looking at silver, Zhao's eyes were shining and he laughed unscrupulously.

"Hahahahaha..."

He laughed comfortably and happily for a while before restraining his laughter, putting his hand on the cannon and putting it into the space. Then his consciousness entered the space to roughly measure it. Excluding the shells, it was estimated that only sixteen can be collected, but Zhao was already quite satisfied. It was better to bite off more than one can chew, and sixteen can probably be enough.

In the next two days, Zhao almost never left the yard, waiting for the cannon to come to the door, checking one by one, and putting it into the space after confirming that there was no problem. On the afternoon of the third day, the sixteenth cannon was delivered and pulled into the yard. Zhao waved his hand and told the two not to come tomorrow. After acceptance, it was put into the space. After going out for dinner, he went to bed early to sleep.

The next day, Zhao got up early and went to the Beijing camp again to review the operation process and improve his details to avoid serious consequences due to small problems. After practicing for an afternoon, he reluctantly returned to the yard. After a quick meal, he couldn't wait to wash and rest.

The next day, Zhao slept until the end of Chenshi before reluctantly getting up. After wrapping up in cotton clothes and washing in a hurry, he left food and drink for Zhaocai before going out to Zhaoyu.

When he came to the Jinyiwei duty room, it was already past half of Sishi. The thousand households and hundred households on duty, including Yu Jielin, were chatting. Zhao entered the door without disturbing everyone's interest. After greeting a group of people, he sat in his seat and drank tea while waiting for Lu Wenyu.

There was nothing to do in the morning. After lunch at noon, he went to the kitchen and continued to drink tea. There was nothing to do and he was very idle. Zhao Jue was not in a hurry and waited silently until it was getting dark. Zhao was already impatient and Lu Wenyu finally arrived.

"Are you impatient? I was delayed by some official business. Please forgive me." Lu Wenyu bowed with a little apology.

"I don't have anything to do. I'll wait a while. Official business is more important." Zhao Jue said politely.

I don't know if he didn't hear the politeness in Zhao's words, but Lu Wenyu's expression didn't change, and he just said calmly, "Let's go."

Lu Wenyu took a few steps forward, but before Zhao could react, Lu Wenyu had already grabbed Zhao's back. Release his true energy, fly in the air, and fly towards Qianhu.

A moment later, the two of them landed in the center of the training ground of Qianhu Institute. Lu Wenyu let go of Zhao Jiu's collar, took a few steps back to distance himself from Zhao Jiu, and said calmly, "Come on, let me see your skills," holding hands behind his back.

Speaking of Lu Wenyu's infuriating energy, he grabbed a knife from the shelf next to him and threw it at Zhao Jiu's feet. Zhao had just come back to his senses. When he heard Lu Wenyu's words, he did not hesitate to pick up the embroidered spring knife on the ground, took a few steps back and opened his posture, and used his true energy to communicate with the general trend of the world.

"Be careful!"

Zhao, who held the knife tightly, let out a light shout. In just a few breaths, the true energy and the general trend of heaven and earth reached their peak. With this state, he swung a sword light and went straight towards Lu Wenyu.

Lu Wenyu didn't even raise his head, sighed lightly, just stretched out a hand and crushed Zhao Jiu's sword light easily.

"Medium..."
