Steel Dynasty - Chapter 384

[Chapter 384 Fireworks and Murderous Intent]

PS: There are only three chapters tonight. I saw that everyone in the book review area hopes for a power distribution map. I will make one in the next two days to see if I can post it.

Everyone arrived outside the door. It was extremely dark tonight because there was no moon.

Only the lanterns in the palace gave off dim light.

At this time, Xiao Ming said a few words to Feng Deshui, and Feng Deshui left, quickly bringing the little yellow gate of Bishui Pavilion over. The little yellow gate placed a box in front of the door.

Xiao Ming opened the box, revealing Qingzhou fireworks.

This is a brand new batch of fireworks, and they are not the fireworks that Xiao Ming released during the last Chinese New Year, but rocket-type fireworks.

At this time, Xiao Wenxuan looked at the cylindrical and cone-shaped things in the box and asked, “Qilang, what is this?”

“Does your father know about firecrackers?” Xiao Ming first inoculated these people against the fact that this thing would explode.

“Of course I know that.” During the Chinese New Year, there are also activities of setting off firecrackers in the palace. He is no stranger to it, and when they heard the word firecrackers, the eyes of the other little princes lit up.

Xiao Ming continued: “This is somewhat similar to a firecracker, except that a very beautiful flame is emitted from it.”

“Beautiful flame?” Xiao Wenxuan was a little confused. Firecrackers are firecrackers. What does this have to do with flames.

“Father, instead of talking about it, why don’t I give you a show for my father.”

Xiao Ming chuckled. The reason why he brought fireworks was for the wedding. Since you are getting married in this world, it must be lively. Ichiban.

Moreover, if these fireworks can make Xiao Wenxuan happy, he will show his face in front of Xiao Wenxuan again.

Now he has changed his mind about being forbearing towards the prince and others. Tigers do not hurt people, and tigers can eat people’s hearts. In this case, why should he swallow his anger and become a little wife? He will show off in front of Xiao Ming and try his best to achieve himself through imperial power. the goal of.

At this time, everyone was attracted by Xiao Ming’s actions. Xiao Ming picked up a one-meter-high rocket, and then picked up a lit candle.

“Father, the name of this firework is Tianwai Feixian.” Xiao Ming said with a smile. At the same time, he leaned the small rocket-like firework against a small tree in front of Fulin Hall and lit the match.

“Ziz…” The match rope burned quickly.

In just ten seconds, rockets and fireworks suddenly shot up into the sky diagonally.

After disappearing into the dark night sky, while everyone was watching attentively, with a “boom”, the fireworks in the sky suddenly exploded, and the raindrop-shaped flames and silver flowers spread all over the sky, tearing apart the dark night and making them colorful. , exceptionally beautiful.

“Ah…”

The moment the fireworks exploded, some young princes and princesses were frightened and screamed.

But when they saw this beautiful scenery, they were instantly attracted by this beautiful scenery.

Xiao Ming raised his head and saw that the range of the fireworks explosion in the air was five to six meters. He stood with everyone to watch.

In fact, this firework is not difficult, and it was made by Chen Qi when he was studying the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

Now with the development of the Qingzhou Army, the army is becoming more and more dissatisfied with weapons such as catapults, because catapults are bulky, have a short range, and are extremely easy to damage.

So Chen Qi followed the teaching materials to prepare the production of the Huzun Cannon, a cannon with direct fire.

In modern times, the Hu Zun Cannon was invented during the Qi Jiguang period of the Ming Dynasty and was specially used for mountain warfare. This type of artillery is very good at dealing with enemies hiding behind bunkers because it can shoot in a straight direction.

After research, Chen Qi felt that the Tiger Crouching Cannon could be used to fire gunpowder cans, so he began to make a Tiger Crouching Cannon with a short and wide barrel.

But before that, he conducted some simple experiments. The method of experiment was fireworks, so he used paper tubes and reduced gunpowder cans to simulate the firing of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

As a result, the Tiger Cannon had not yet been produced, and he suddenly realized that by shrinking the gunpowder can to the size of a cherry, he could make the fireworks explode in the air, saving Xiao Ming’s regret that “it’s a pity that the fireworks can’t go up to the sky.”

Therefore, during the experiment, he boldly created a batch of fireworks that could reach the sky.

“Ming’er, what on earth is going on?” Xiao Wenxuan stared at the fireworks intently, with a look of surprise on his face.

“Father, these are Qingzhou’s fireworks. They are filled with gunpowder.”

“I know the gunpowder well, but why does the gunpowder become colorful and so beautiful?” Xiao Wenxuan said incredulously.

“Father, this is naturally the skill of a craftsman.”

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, “Yes, your Qingzhou has all the new things, let me try it.”

After hearing this, Xiao Ming took one out and explained it to Xiao Wenxuan How to light a fire.

Xiao Wenxuan understood, and imitated Xiao Ming, holding the fireworks below, lighting them with a candle, and moving a few steps away. Then another beautiful firework bloomed, and the others were immediately mesmerized.

“I’ll have one too! I’ll have one too.” After another firework exploded, the princes and princesses immediately surrounded Xiao Ming one by one.

Xiao Wenxuan laughed loudly, seemingly acquiescing to the fireworks show, so Xiao Ming taught them how to set off fireworks one by one.

“Dong dong dong…”

Fireworks went up to the sky one by one, and the sky was filled with colorful fireworks.

The prince and princesses were having a great time, while the concubines were all watching mesmerizedly.

The other guards and maids of the palace also saw this strange scene, but they didn’t understand what it was and thought something serious had happened, so they came to escort them one after another. They didn’t go back to their respective places until they saw everyone having fun.

At the same time, people in various private houses in Chang’an also saw the beautiful fireworks over the imperial palace.

Some people were astonished at the colorful sights above the palace, and some even began to kneel down in the direction of the palace.

Everyone was having fun.

At this time, a small yellow door hurriedly ran over.

Xiaohuangmen knelt down in front of Xiao Wenxuan and said: “Your Majesty, the people in the village are gathering now. They all say that Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and has been favored by God. The auspiciousness comes from heaven to the palace. Our country of Chongqing is also a country blessed by God!”

“Hahaha…” Xiao Wenxuan, who was about to light the fireworks, suddenly burst into laughter.

Since ancient times, the idea of the divine right of kings has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but Xiao Ming’s unintentional fireworks confirmed his supreme status and stabilized his throne.

While smiling, Xiao Wenxuan suddenly hugged Xiao Ming’s shoulders and said: “Ming’er, you are really my lucky star. Tomorrow I will give you a three-bead crown and make you the king of the three-bead vassal.

” As soon as they came out, Princess Xiangcheng and the Ninth Prince both showed happy smiles.

The prince, second prince and others looked extremely ugly.

“Thank you, Father.”

Xiao Ming grinned. The Sanzhu Domain King meant that he was equal to King Wei and others, and it also meant Xiao Ming’s status in Xiao Wenxuan’s heart.

The dinner ended in a peaceful atmosphere. Xiao Ming did not expect that he would immediately receive the honorary title of Prince of Three Pearls just because of a few fireworks.

However, because it was already getting late, it was inconvenient for the prince to stay in the palace, so he and the other princes left the palace and went back separately.

Outside the door, there was a carriage waiting for Xiao Ming. He got on the carriage and was about to set off, when a carriage blocked him, and the bead curtain opened, revealing the face of the third prince.

“Qilang, the road is not easy to walk at night.” The third prince said with a smile.
