From the gate of heaven

Chapter 115 [More and more doubts]

When learning the language, writing and martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was necessary to memorize the content repeatedly to gain a deep understanding.

In this case, in order to ensure that the learned content does not deviate, it is necessary to record the content with a camera.

But if you want to eavesdrop on some information temporarily, you don't have to go through such troubles. You can just open the Tianmen Gate and listen directly.

And as long as you don't open the door in other people's faces, there is no possibility of being discovered.

The All-heaven Gate opened a fist-sized hole behind the curtains in the sixth princess Ji Qingyan's boudoir.

After slightly adjusting the coordinates of opening the door, Lin Ze can directly see the whole picture of the boudoir of the sixth princess directly from behind the Tiantian Gate hidden in the curtain.

Afterwards, the sixth princess was sitting in the place where she was chatting with him just now, a thoughtful look appeared on her beautiful and indifferent face, and she didn't talk to anyone.

This is also normal. It is less than a quarter of an hour since Lin Ze left the boudoir of the sixth princess. The other party may be sorting out the content of the conversation with Lin Ze just now, and it is normal to have no desire to talk for the time being.

Lin Ze was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.

After another cup of tea, there were obvious footsteps coming from far to near in the boudoir, and soon a voice broke the silence in the room: "Qingyan, how is your contact with that Lin Ziyi?"

Accompanied by the sound, the figure of Ji Kan, the king of the East China Sea, appeared in Lin Ze's sight.

"It went very smoothly. After you waited indifferently, Brother Wang, a little politeness from this palace will greatly increase the other party's favor."

"It has been found out that the opponent does have unique firearms that are much stronger than the current firearms, but the cost of use is high, and the materials are expensive. It takes a long time to make firearms. If you want to equip an army of ten thousand people with firearms, it may take hundreds of Ten thousand taels of silver."

"If you want to arm an army of [-] to attack alien races, maybe tens of millions of taels of silver are not enough."

Ji Qingyan said in a calm voice.

"Today, I saw that Lin Ziyi was not very energetic and his internal strength was weak, but he was able to sweep across the group of enemies for hundreds of miles in one night. It seems that he used all his physical strength and energy on the road, and he was able to sweep away the Obscure Moon. Mountains are all dependent on firearms."

"It's normal for such an easy-to-use firearm to be expensive."

"It's just tens of millions of taels of silver. It's not a big deal with the riches of the imperial brother's family. But if we can save some silver, it's our credit. At that time, you and my brother and sister will divide the money equally." Wouldn't it be nice to buy elixir to improve your cultivation?"

The King of the East China Sea thinks this is normal. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world for a weapon with low cost and high lethality?
Hearing this, Ji Qingyan nodded, acknowledging her brother's words.

She is also of extraordinary cultivation, and her inner strength is more than a hundred times that of Lin Ziyi's, but she also thinks that she can't travel hundreds of miles and sweep across the entire Misty Moon Mountain Range in one night. Thousands of bandits, because both traveling and killing people require a lot of physical strength Inner interest.

And this also highlights the role of firearms from another aspect, which is an important part of the combat power of Lin Ze, a super master.

Then he nodded, and said: "Then invite Lin Ziyi to meet again tomorrow, try to get closer to each other first, and then ask him to donate his unique firearm skills, so it's not too abrupt."

At this time, after thinking for a while, Ji Kan said, "Lin Ziyi's internal strength is so weak, presumably either he is usually too busy studying firearms and neglects to practice internal strength, or his own internal strength is not of high grade, so tomorrow I will give him a training A secret medicine prescription and a unique martial art."

"This can also dispel his worries, lest he feel that his own survivability will decline after dedicating his unique firearms skills, and thus refuse our request."

"It is much more practical to achieve a super-level cultivation by oneself, and even achieve a peerless master to prolong life in the future, than relying on foreign objects to have a super-level combat power."

Ji Qingyan nodded and had no opinion.

The conversation between the two ended here, and then they dispersed.

From the beginning to the end, neither of them found Lin Ze who was eavesdropping.
-
Lin Ze also closed the All-heaven Gate.

In his own study, Lin Ze murmured in his heart, dumbfounded: "You are so mysterious and have so many routines. I thought you were going to do something big. It turns out that it is to help the emperor buy firearms to pacify the alien race?"

Lin Ze also said before that the Great Zhou court was not interested in firearms.

It turned out that the general officials of the government and the general children of the royal family were not interested in this, but the emperor, who was the head of the entire court, was particularly interested in this and wanted to use firearms to fight aliens.

For the time being, Lin Ze is sure that it is a good thing for him that the King of the East China Sea is here.

However, Lin Ze didn't know the specific details behind this incident. In order to make up for the lack of information, Lin Ze visited his father-in-law.

Before and after the old man passed the Jinshi examination, he stayed in the capital of Dazhou for a long time, and he still knew some superficial information about the royal family, and the national event of fighting against aliens was a major event that officials needed to pay attention to all the time.

After asking, Lin Ze learned a lot of information from Li He, and sorted out the entire context of the Donghai King's visit to him.

The current emperor Ji Yuan, the king of the East China Sea Ji Kan, and the sixth princess Ji Qingyan are brothers and sisters of the same mother. As the emperor, Ji Yuan is five or six years older than the other two siblings, so there is no such thing as the three of them seizing the right. conflict of interest.

The interests of the three are completely consistent. Ji Yuan is a good emperor, and Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan can live well.

Before this major premise, the two brothers and sisters Ji Kan could gain Ji Yuan's trust and do such big things as preparing for the purchase of firearms.

And the foreign race that the emperor wants to fight is the restless small country around the Great Zhou Dynasty.

These small countries themselves are very poor, and the products of the country they are in are not very rich. From time to time, they come to the border gates of the Great Zhou Dynasty to plunder. However, they are all cavalry who can come and go freely, and they live in no fixed place. After the robbing, they disperse into the grassland Among the mountains and rivers.

Rao is that the Great Zhou Dynasty has a strong combat power and many masters, but they can't even find anyone, and there is nothing they can do about it.

Today, His Majesty has great talents and plans, and wants to form an army of firearms for an expedition, and use superior forces to wipe out all these thieves to eliminate border troubles.

The above is an inference made by Lin Ze based on the information he heard from the brothers and sisters Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan, as well as what he learned about the current world situation from Li He.

But this inference is flawed.

First, Lin Ze already has some understanding of the combat power of a peerless master.

The aftermath of the battle is like heavy artillery bombardment, and the limit movement speed has even exceeded the speed of sound. It is not an exaggeration to say that a master of this level is already a one-man army.

If there is no one to check and balance, it is only a matter of time before tens of millions of people in a county are killed.

There are already more than ten peerless masters in Mingyue Tower, and there are four martial arts holy places of the same level as Mingyue Tower around the Great Zhou Dynasty. The number of peerless masters is conservatively estimated to be 50.

The Ji family of the Great Zhou royal family was able to overwhelm the four major martial arts holy places and become the co-lord of the world. It is conservatively estimated that the number of peerless master-level people it controls is 100, or even more than 300.

There is a border problem in the main world, because before entering the industrial society, the Central Plains dynasty could not effectively deal with the small neighboring countries.

Dazhou is different here. The strength and mobility of the peerless masters are no less than that of the mechanized armored forces. You only need to send some peerless masters at random, and go abroad for a walk if you have nothing to do. Not the climate.

The second loophole, if Ji Yuan is interested in firearms, there is no need for him to beat around the bush like he is now, and let Ji Kan come to contact Lin Ze.He could directly recruit Lin Ze to the capital to help make firearms, and then give Lin Ze a certain amount of high-ranking officials and generous compensation, and Lin Ze would have no objection.

After all, he would still be hanging out with Zhou Dynasty. If he didn't want to offend the emperor, he would most likely not refuse the emperor's request.

"It is reasonable to speculate that the surrounding small countries also have peerless masters, so the peerless masters on the side of the Great Zhou Dynasty dare not act easily. After all, they are already big figures standing at the pinnacle of the world, and there is no need to risk their lives under normal circumstances."

"Alternatively, the surrounding small countries don't actually have any masters, but the Great Zhou Dynasty has tied down these peerless masters for some reason, making it impossible for them to leave easily."

"And the reason why the emperor Ji Yuan beat around the bush is because someone is competing with him, so he doesn't want to reveal his intentions before the matter is done."

Lin Ze thought about the truth hidden under the superficial results, but in the end he didn't get any answer.

I know too little information, and I can only speculate to the current level for the time being. Maybe there will be new gains after meeting the Ji Kan brothers and sisters tomorrow.

"Recently, let's pay attention to your own safety. If someone competes for the ownership of firearms production technology, there may be someone who doesn't care about martial arts."

Finally, Lin Ze thought so.

Generally speaking, in the face of talents, normal forces will choose to win them over, attract them with lures, and let them continue to work for them willingly.

Threats, beatings and other methods are inferior in the end, and it is inevitable to die when encountering a staunch person.

You can't get anything by fighting chickens and eggs, so it's a waste of time.

But if there are two parties competing for a certain talent, once one party determines that he cannot get it, he will probably directly kill the other party so that the other party cannot get it either.

Now Lin Ze may be in a position of being competed for, so in this case, he still has to pay attention to safety.

After making up his mind, Lin Ze decided to go back to the main world to sleep when going to bed at night recently, so as not to cause problems.

When he was awake, Lin Ze was not afraid of someone sneaking up on him.

But not when sleeping, the sensor can only guard against ordinary masters, but it cannot guard against peerless masters.
-
The next day, early in the morning.

An eunuch came to the door of Lin's house and handed over an invitation card belonging to the king of the East China Sea.

Invite Lin Ze to meet for morning tea, and then go to visit the wooden rail car together.

Lin Ze, who had just finished his morning exercise, readily accepted this.

After changing his clothes, he set off directly with the eunuch.

Coming to the big boat of the King of the East China Sea again, Ji Kan, the king of the East China Sea, changed her indifference yesterday, and stood at the door of the living room waiting to greet Lin Ze, and said with a smile: "Zi Yi is here. He was troubled by trifles yesterday, and the hospitality was not good. Don't blame me, Xiao Wang can make up for it today."

"Let's try the breakfast made by the chef of my palace. There is a seasoning called 'Jijixian' in the meal. Although the price is a bit expensive, 500 taels of silver only have one or two very delicious flavors. It is extremely delicious, far better than ordinary taste."

Lin Ze felt a little strange in his heart.

It seems that the king of the East China Sea did not know that the MSG was made by himself.

That's right, although Lin Ze thought about opening a store to sell MSG before, but then he was busy with too many things and forgot, and the current shipping channel is only Shan Xuliang.

Outsiders have not checked carefully, and it is normal to not know the source of MSG.

Although he felt a little weird in his heart, Lin Ze kept his face calm and saluted, "I don't think the king is so polite, so thank you for the hospitality."

After speaking, the East Sea King led the way ahead, and soon brought Lin Ze to the observation deck on the top of the big ship.

It is tens of meters away from the river surface, and the scenery overlooking it from a height is very magnificent.

On the viewing platform, there are three desks.

Ji Qingyan, who was wearing a moon-white palace dress, was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance. With her cold and beautiful temperament, she felt as if she had become a fairy.

Seemingly hearing the sound of footsteps, Ji Qingyan turned around and nodded slightly to say hello: "I've seen Mr. Lin."

"Good morning, Your Highness."

Lin Ze returned the salute, and at the same time glanced at Ji Qingyan's dress of the same color as yesterday, but with a slightly different pattern.

This girl's closet is not full of moon white dresses, she really likes this color.

"Pass the meal."

At this time, Ji Kan opened his mouth to order the eunuch beside him.

Not long after, many palace dishes were brought up and placed on the three tables.

In the presence of two hosts and one guest, the eunuch took a small taste of these dishes to confirm that they were non-toxic. Later, an eunuch who was good at the inner energy of the flaming sun stimulated the zhenqi to cook the already cold dishes. Heat to appropriate temperature.

At this time, Ji Kan raised his glass to invite Lin Ze and said, "Please."

Lin Ze paid back.

Afterwards, the few people chatted casually about Jiang Jing while eating, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After the meal, Lin Ze took the two highnesses down to have a close look at the wooden rail car, and Lin Ze personally introduced the mystery to them.

Along the way, many armored soldiers in solid armor accompanied them to ensure safety.

Later, it was already afternoon when the group returned to the car, and lunch was cakes eaten on the road.

However, Ji Kan still did not let Lin Ze leave, and invited him to drink tea and play chess.

Ji Qingyan was on the sidelines, watching her brother play chess with Lin Ze.

At the end of the day, the attitudes of the two Tianhuang nobles were gentle and approachable. At this moment, the atmosphere between Lin Ze and Ji Kan's brother and sister has gotten along harmoniously, and there is no sense of strangeness when they first met.

And the discussion of serious business started while playing chess.
