Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 467 Cannon
After receiving Zhao Kang's assurance, Chen Jianghe and Nangong Long were completely relieved and clasped their fists one after another.

"Don't worry, Imperial Master, we will do our best to serve the imperial court!"

"Very good, you can rest here for a while. Master Li Yuanli will arrange the follow-up matters one by one tomorrow. I will also have your family members brought to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible."

After leaving the two people, Zhao Kang found Cao Bailu again and said with a smile: "Lord Cao, you can ask your people to move Fengyun Tower to the imperial capital."

Cao Bailu said hurriedly: "So anxious."

"Of course, your Fengyun Tower is my biggest gain this time. I have asked His Majesty for an appointment. From now on, you will be one of the deputy commanders of the Jinyi Guards."

Zhao Kang looked at Fang Shao and said with a smile: "Eunuch Fang will talk to you about the specific matters later."

Fang Shao nodded, smiled at Cao Bailu and said, "Don't worry, Lord Cao, as long as I am here, all the Jinyi Guards will obey your orders."

Feeling like he had reached the sky in one step, Cao Bailu said a little uneasily: "What should I do, then, National Master?"

"Expand the scope of Fengyun Tower's collection of information to include Qi and Zhou, whether it's military or people's livelihood and government affairs, everything must be detailed. During this period, whether you want money or people, you can tell Eunuch Fang directly, If you can't figure it out, come back to me, do you understand?"

This is what Cao Bailu did. After hearing what Zhao Kang said, he understood most of it and nodded: "I understand, I will implement it as soon as possible."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Leaving the station, Zhao Kang was planning to enter the palace, when a soldier trotted over: "National Preceptor."

Zhao Kang asked people to get off the sedan and look at the soldiers.

The soldier quickly said: "National Master, Mr. Li invited you to go to the Forbidden Army camp, and also asked you to call the two third-level masters."

Zhao Kang was a little confused, but he still nodded in agreement and asked someone to notify Chen Jianghe and Nangong Long.

The latter did not refuse and followed Zhao Kang to the Forbidden Army camp.

The Forbidden Army camp is located ten miles away from the imperial capital. The number of people is around [-] all year round, and they are all close followers of Zhou Long.

They also fought alongside Zhao Kang.

The three of them arrived in front of the camp. Li Yuan had been waiting for them for a long time, "National Master, there are two more people please come quickly."

Zhao Kang said suspiciously: "Why is it so mysterious?"

"Of course it's a good thing, Imperial Master, His Majesty is here." Li Yuan gave up.

A group of people came to the school ground, and Zhao Kang was shocked when he saw the items placed in the center of the school ground.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then rushed over quickly.

The dark barrel is two meters long, and there is a faint metallic fluorescence all over the body, full of violent beauty.

The gun body is inlaid on a wheel made of fine iron.

Zhao Kang stroked the barrel, every pore expanding with excitement, turned around and shouted: "Where are the cannonballs!"

Only then did I realize that Her Majesty the Empress and many civil and military ministers were there.

Xiao Linglong, dressed in a dragon robe, walked forward with a smile: "Is this the cannon you envisioned? All the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry were rotated day and night, and it took two months to make it to the size that matches the proportions of the drawings, without any deviation."

Zhao Kang was extremely excited: "I didn't expect you guys to actually do it."

Yang Qian, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, cried bitterly: "That's not a national master. You don't know that during this period, my ears are filled with the sound of craftsmen hammering iron. It's still ringing even when I close my eyes and sleep."

"There will definitely be no problem this time, National Master. Why don't you give it a try with two shots?"

Zhang Mingyuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, said with a smile, and then said with a pained face: "It's just that the cost of these cannonballs is too expensive, each one costs five taels of silver."

Zhao Kang laughed: "With this thing, I can have as much silver as I need to wipe out the world, Chen Jianghe!"

Only then did he understand why Li Yuan asked him to bring Chen Jianghe and Nangong Long with him. He wanted to test the power of this cannon with two or three level masters.Chen Jianghe walked out with an interested expression: "National Master."

"Old Chen, how is your recovery of your skills?" Zhao Kang asked, don't kill this guy with one shot, that would be a lot of fun.

Chen Jianghe smiled slightly: "It's almost like it's at its peak."

"[-]%...where are you Nangonglong?" Zhao Kang hesitated.

Nangong Long said suspiciously: "I'm about the same."

Chen Jianghe frowned slightly: "What does the Imperial Master want to do? Could it be that he looks down on Chen?"

Zhao Kang explained: "That's not true. The main reason is that this thing is very powerful. I'm afraid you only have [-]% of your peak strength now."

Chen Jianghe chuckled: "The Imperial Master is too worried, just let Chen give it a try!"

As a third-level powerhouse, Chen Jianghe naturally had his own pride. Listening to Zhao Kang's words, it seemed that his [-]% strength was not enough, so he immediately became determined to win.

Zhao Kang nodded: "That's okay. If it doesn't work, just say so."

Chen Jianghe snorted softly: "The Imperial Master will just watch."

Zhao Kang looked around: "Who can operate this cannon?"

Three soldiers stepped forward, and Zhao Kang asked: "How far can this cannon reach?"

The soldier said respectfully: "Reporting to the imperial master, the furthest distance can be six hundred steps, and we can hit wherever we can within five hundred steps!"

Chen Jianghe said confidently: "Then I will wait for you four hundred steps away."

After saying that, he jumped up and down a few times before arriving at a position four hundred steps away from the cannon. He raised his hand and the sword in the hands of the soldiers in the distance flew into his hands. He was ready for everything.

As expected of a third-grade powerhouse, his ability to control objects through the air is a joy to watch.

"National advisor?" the soldier asked.

Zhao Kang nodded: "It's time to start!"

Immediately, another soldier ran over and pushed the frame containing the shells, loading and igniting them in one go.

I saw a burst of fire and white smoke coming from the fuse of the cannonball, followed by a thunderous sound.

Chen Jianghe in the distance was startled, and then he saw a big fireball flying towards him.

With a look in his eyes, he jumped up and slashed the cannonball with his knife!
A sword that dominates the world bloomed, and the sword flashed. With this sword, Chen Jianghe was confident that even an iron man could be split in half.

But the moment the knife in his hand touched the cannonball, a violent explosion sounded, followed by an invisible shock wave, which instantly shattered the sword in Chen Jianghe's hand.

Chen Jianghe was shocked and turned pale. He quickly used his true energy to withstand the explosion. He was no less than a third-level expert. His pure energy made him an indestructible wall. He actually survived the first shell intact.

Upon seeing this, the soldier immediately loaded the second cannonball. Before Chen Jianghe could recover, he saw the second cannonball coming and shouted: "National Master!"

The second shell hit Chen Jianghe firmly. Zhao Kang quickly raised his hand: "Stop, stop, stop!"

He was deeply afraid that the soldiers would blow up Chen Jianghe to death.

As soon as the smoke and dust dispersed, Chen Jianghe appeared in front of everyone in ragged clothes. His body was completely covered in pitch black, and half of his originally flowing long hair was blown away.

Zhao Kang hurriedly ran over: "Is Lao Chen okay?"

Seeing that Chen Jianghe didn't have any skin on his body but looked a little more embarrassed, Zhao Kang sighed and patted his shoulder: "As expected of a third-grade master, it's no big deal after being shot twice."

The next moment, Chen Jianghe blew out a stream of black smoke from his mouth and fell to the ground.
