After the first fool

Chapter 89

The words were sonorous and powerful, with determination and self-confidence that could not be questioned. At this moment, her petite body seemed to exude a dazzling light that made people unable to take their eyes off. Countless complicated gazes fell on her, and Mo Xiaoran stood upright. Back, looking at Mingxi, "Excuse me, princess, can I try this musket?"

Ming Xi bit her lips lightly, and nodded slowly: "Since the empress wants to try, it is of course possible." Then, she looked at Bai Zixu, "Your Majesty, please prepare a target 100 meters away."

"Are you really sure?" Bai Zixu glanced at Mo Xiaoran and hesitated.

"Do you want me to try it, or do you want to lose face in front of the envoys of the two countries? You choose yourself." Mo Xiaoran said angrily, if she wasn't [-]% sure, how could she get the limelight?
Bai Zixu was blocked by her strange words, and his eyes turned cold. Since she is stubborn, why should he stop her? "Come on, prepare the target."

Bai Mo's breath stagnates, and he looks at Bai Zixu with a bit of reproach, but the emperor really agreed.

"The empress is really talented and courageous," Lan Tianci said with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes bent into two crescent moons, like a fox, "I admire you, I admire you."

Mo Xiaoran snorted softly, ignoring what he seemed to be complimenting, but was actually mocking. When a guard placed a straw target [-] meters in front of the Imperial Garden, Mo Xiaoran held up the hem of the phoenix robe. , walked down the high platform, looked at the pistol in the box with burning eyes, his body trembled imperceptibly, like joy, like excitement.

"Queen?" Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Ming Xi called out strangely. Could it be that she was afraid when something happened? "It doesn't matter if the queen wants to repent. After all, not every woman has the guts..." The rest of the words disappeared from her lips. She watched the woman bend down, pick up the pistol, and even gently stroked it. Caress the body of the gun.

The movements are full of pity and tenderness, as if touching a treasure in his heart.

How long?
How long had she run into her old buddy?

Mo Xiaoran's eyes trembled, just holding this musket, which was no different from a pistol, the blood in her body was burning non-stop, as if she had returned to the past, the years of charging in the drug lord's lair, with her five fingers tightened, she turned her back Holding the handle of the gun, the movements are so familiar that it doesn't look like seeing this thing for the first time?

The eyes of Bai Qingluo who was hiding in the imperial guards flickered slightly. If he read it correctly, the look on her face just now was clearly the excitement and nostalgia of meeting an old friend. Could it be that she really recognized this musket?But she has never stepped out of the prime minister's mansion for 16 years, how could she know each other?

Weird, mysterious, there will always be something on her that surprises him and makes him want to investigate.

Mo Xiaoran stuffed the pistol in her hand, which was much heavier than she remembered, "Can we start?" She looked up and looked around, and asked softly, with a confident smile overflowing from the corner of her mouth, I don't know how many people's eyes are brilliant.

"Please." Mingxi took half a step back slightly, and made a gesture of invitation. Everyone held their breath and looked up at Mo Xiaoran, not letting go of her every move.

Bai Mo's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he didn't even notice that the wine in the wine cup in his hand had spilled all over the table.

On the high platform, Bai Zixu and the queen mother also kept their eyes on each other. They were waiting, looking forward to how she would use this magic weapon to shoot through a target hundreds of meters away.

Liao Xue's eyes were cold, she gritted her teeth and cursed, God must open her eyes, let this woman be injured and die here!

But God probably couldn't hear her inner voice. Mo Xiaoran exhaled lightly, cleared her mind, looked straight ahead, slowly raised her pistol, and pointed the muzzle at the red dot in the center of the target [-] meters away. She doesn't have a scope, but she already knows how to use a gun by heart.

The index finger slowly put on the trigger, the sound of breathing in the ears seemed to disappear, and all he could see was the target a hundred meters away.

A cold light shot out from the eyes, and at the same time, the index finger pulled the trigger down heavily.

"boom--"

A loud noise like thunder resounded above the entire imperial garden, and a smell of gunpowder smoke spread in the air. The troupe who were singing a big opera on the stage were startled, and the vocal music stopped abruptly.

"Hurry up! Guard!" Li Quan was the first to come back to his senses, thinking that something unexpected had happened, he yelled loudly, and the imperial guards who heard the sound outside the imperial garden swarmed, and sent all the civil and military officials and the emperor's relatives on the high platform. All surrounded.

"What was that sound just now?"

"Has there been thunder?"

"Could it be the magic weapon sent out?"

Panic sounds came from the crowd, and they whispered to each other and pointed at Mo Xiaoran who was standing quietly in the center of the banquet hall.

"Empress?" Bai Zixu pushed away Li Quan, who was guarding him, and called softly with a gloomy expression.

As if Mo Xiaoran hadn't noticed it, she stood there without moving her body.

Liao Xue was overjoyed, could this woman be dead?

There was definitely more than one person who had the same idea as her. Mingxi hurried forward and pushed Mo Xiaoran's waist. She turned her head slowly and blinked her eyes strangely.

"Empress, are you alright?" Although Ming Xi had Prince Xuanyuan's orders, he did not dare to guess what would happen to Empress Dongyao if something happened to her.

As her lips opened and closed, a glimpse of understanding flashed across Mo Xiaoran's eyes. She put down the musket, and took out a small rag from her ear with her right hand, "Sorry, I didn't hear that just now."

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the rags twisted into a small ball in her palm, and then compared her phoenix robe, and saw that the cuffs were slightly torn.

No wonder she didn't respond even when the emperor called her just now, it turned out that her ears were blocked.

"I'll return this to you." Mo Xiaoran deftly twirled the pistol in the center of her index finger and threw it to Mingxi. She would not be so stupid as to not take any protective measures for her ears after knowing the power of the gun. Look The group of courtiers who were startled by the sound and jumped to their feet should know that if she hadn't blocked her ears in time, she would probably be deaf by now, right?

Mingxi caught the musket in a hurry, and followed Mo Xiaoran all the time with dim eyes. This woman actually knows how to use this magic weapon!But why?How could she use it?This should be a secret that should not be leaked in the royal family of Xuanyuan Kingdom.

How Ren Mingxi guessed, she never imagined that if Mo Xiaoran dared to be number two when it comes to firearms, no one in this world would dare to be number one!

Walking past the courtiers, Mo Xiaoran had a confident smile on her lips, as if she had just done a trivial matter, which was not worth mentioning.

Walking up to the high platform, Mo Xiaoran frowned slightly after receiving complicated gazes from Bai Zixu and the others: "Is there any problem with me?"

What are you doing to look like the hell?Although she is not a big beauty, she is not so ugly that they are speechless.

"You...Are you okay?" Liao Xue was the first to speak out. Just now she thought she was in heaven and that Mo Xiaoran was dead, but in the blink of an eye, she came back to life perfectly. This up and down mood The ups and downs made it hard for her to control herself, she stammered and pointed at Mo Xiaoran and asked.

"Does this palace seem to be busy?" Mo Xiaoran snorted disdainfully.

"The queen is safe and well?" Bai Zixu's cold face couldn't help but relax, he looked her up and down, and saw that she was not injured, so he sat down again, picked up the spirits on the table, and looked up. To calm down the horror and astonishment in my heart.

"Naturally." Mo Xiaoran nodded lightly. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhu's red-eyed expression secretly weeping. She thought to herself that she seemed to have frightened this girl. She shook her head and looked down. The people at the head finally looked at Ming Xi who was holding a musket stupidly before he regained consciousness: "Princess, don't you want to check the target?"

What is said to kill silently at a distance of [-] meters? If there is no precise marksmanship, the impact of the musket's recoil alone is enough to dislocate a shoulder, let alone shoot through a target that is [-] meters away.

If the person who tried it just now was not her, I am afraid that she must be seriously injured at this moment.

Even Mo Xiaoran, who was already familiar with guns, suffered a slight pain in her shoulder after enduring the impact of shooting, but she concealed it so well that almost no one noticed it.

"Go...to see the target." Ming Xi immediately regained consciousness and ordered his followers to bring the target. She never believed that this queen was so brave!

"As expected of you," Bai Qingluo lowered her head, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, covering the traces of admiration in her eyes, and slowly relaxed for her nervous mood.

When the entourage staggered back to the banquet scene with the target in their hands, Ming Xi was the first to step forward, but when he saw the red heart pierced through the center of the target, he was completely stunned.

"Princess, how is my aim?" Mo Xiaoran didn't even look at the target, she stood tall and chuckled, her marksmanship is absolutely accurate, even if she doesn't look at the result, she is [-]% sure to shoot through the red heart, There is awe-inspiring arrogance between her brows, using a gun is her most proud strength.

"It's amazing." Ming Xi let out an exclamation, but she quickly shook her head, "I don't know how the queen can use this musket?"

Mo Xiaoran's eyes were bright, and the corners of her mouth curved into a playful smile: "That's because of this palace..." She deliberately dragged out her voice, and many people with prickly ears held their breath, waiting for her next move. In a word, "You are talented and intelligent, you don't need to learn to master it," she praised herself without blushing, "Is this reason, the princess can be trusted?"

It is impossible for her to tell her that she is actually from modern times, and the guns she has used are far more advanced than this. It is estimated that if she says this, what awaits her is definitely to be treated as a psychopath.

How could Mingxi not be able to hear her perfunctory, but she didn't succeed in getting off the horse, so she could only suppress her anger and forced a smile, "The empress is so capable, Mingxi admires it." After finishing speaking, she He handed the musket to his entourage, "I don't know if you like this great gift from Xuanyuan Kingdom, Your Majesty?"

Bai Zixu suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and said with a gentle smile, "I am very happy."
