My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

Ok?

Jiang Jingcheng noticed Jiang Xiaobai's gaze and couldn't help but turn around to look.

From the direction of the courtyard gate, Zhang Xinnian was leading Liu Guan, walking briskly towards them.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Upon seeing Jiang Jingcheng, Liu Guan immediately bowed respectfully, and then bowed to Jiang Xiaobai as well.

"My lord, the heir apparent!"

Zhang Xinnian also respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

Jiang Jingcheng nodded, then his gaze fell on Liu Guan, and he raised an eyebrow slightly.

He did remember that a few days ago Jiang Xiaobai asked him to find a skilled craftsman to make a small item for self-defense.

Could it be that his son was waiting for the little trinket that Liu Guan had made?

Just as Jiang Jingcheng was wondering, Jiang Xiaobai had already walked up quickly.

"Old Liu, are you done?!"

As they were talking, Jiang Xiaobai noticed something.

Yes, Liu Guan's hand was clearly bandaged, with the edges of the bandage showing faint signs of scorching.

There were even some burn marks.

It seems that Liu Guan was injured by the gunpowder.

Liu Guan didn't seem to mind, and simply nodded respectfully, saying, "Your Highness, I have managed to make it according to your blueprints."

As he spoke, Liu Guan carefully took out a handkerchief from his bosom.

The handkerchief was opened, and inside, twenty silver bullets were neatly arranged.

Each one is extremely exquisite.

The dimensions are almost identical.

Under the moonlight, it faintly gleamed with a cold light.

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes lit up immediately.

Become!

It really did!

Jiang Xiaobai immediately reached out and picked one up, examined it carefully, and could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

It must be said that Liu Guan's skills are truly impeccable.

Even without modern technology, they managed to make these things look quite presentable.

"Mr. Liu, thank you for your hard work!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Liu Guan, his tone becoming more serious.

"Your Highness, you flatter me."

After hearing this, Liu Guan smiled and said, "I've been living in the Marquis's mansion for so long, and now that I can help the young master, I'm happy to do so."

"only……"

Liu Guan paused, looking at the silver bullets with a hint of doubt in his expression.

"Your Highness, this old man still doesn't understand this thing."

"It's such a small thing, but when I was making it, I almost hurt my old hands."

"Don't worry, Elder Liu."

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai coughed lightly and said, "I'll tell you the details another time when there's an opportunity."

Liu nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Jiang Jingcheng, standing beside him, glanced at the little thing in the handkerchief, his expression growing increasingly strange.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer: "No, you brat!"

"After all that effort, this is all you've come up with?"

Jiang Jingcheng glared at Jiang Xiaobai, his face full of annoyance: "This thing, is it supposed to help you defend yourself?"

"Father, don't worry."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled after hearing this.

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai reached into his robes and took out the exquisite object that Liu Guan had given him during the day.

Jiang Jingcheng glanced at it, his brows furrowing even deeper.

This thing is quite well-made.

The more exquisite it is, the less it resembles something that can be used for self-defense.

It's more like a trinket or gadget that rich kids would play with.

Jiang Xiaobai ignored what Jiang Jingcheng thought, and simply lowered his head to open the magazine.

Then, Jiang Xiaobai took the small silver items from Liu Guan's hand and put them in one by one.

With the last one installed, Jiang Xiaobai gave it a gentle push with his wrist.

Click!

A subtle yet crisp sound rang out.

Jiang Xiaobai held the gun in his palm.

At that moment, his throat couldn't help but move.

His expression also revealed a hint of barely suppressed excitement.

Become!

He actually managed to recreate the modern gadgets from his previous life in this world!

Although he still didn't know how powerful it was.

But just the feeling of holding it made Jiang Xiaobai feel much more at ease.

This thing is more reliable than any guard!

"It's quite exquisite."

Looking at Jiang Xiaobai's excited expression, Jiang Jingcheng couldn't help but chuckle, saying with a disdainful look, "But it's just something to play around with."

"If you really run into a master, do you really expect this little thing to save you?"

While Jiang Jingcheng was speaking, Zhang Xinnian, who had remained silent, also seemed somewhat puzzled.

The prince praises this thing to the skies, can it really work?

Upon hearing Jiang Jingcheng's words, Jiang Xiaobai's lips curled up immediately: "Father, since you say it's just for fun!"

"How about we... have some fun?"

"Um?"

Jiang Jingcheng was taken aback.

Before he could react, Jiang Xiaobai had already taken the small item and walked out of the courtyard.

Jiang Jingcheng frowned, but ultimately followed.

Liu Guan and Zhang Xinnian exchanged a glance and quickly followed behind.

Soon, the group arrived in the courtyard.

After Jiang Xiaobai stopped, he turned to look at Jiang Jingcheng and said with a smile, "Father, your strength must be quite good, right?"

Jiang Jingcheng immediately snorted coldly.

Isn't that obvious?

Jiang Jingcheng has guarded the northern border for many years. What kind of experts haven't he seen?

Although I am currently in Beijing, I don't often take action.

But in terms of true strength, there are very few people in the entire capital who he can be wary of.

"You brat, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

Jiang Xiaobai raised the small object in his hand: "Do you believe I can use this to punch a hole in you?"

These words were spoken.

The courtyard fell silent for a moment.

Zhang Xinnian's eyes widened.

Liu Guan was also stunned.

Jiang Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, with your little gadget?"

"Ha, is that all... you think you can put a hole in your father?"

Jiang Jingcheng seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He immediately took a few steps forward and stood a dozen feet away from Jiang Xiaobai.

"Come on, I'd like to see how you're going to make a hole in your father!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jingcheng's body trembled slightly.

boom!

An extremely powerful force suddenly burst forth from his body.

The robes fluttered in the wind.

The dust on the ground was shaken outwards by this force.

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow as he watched this scene.

Actually, there was a bit of a joking element to his words.

Who would have thought his father would take this seriously?

"Father, please don't take this so seriously!"

Jiang Xiaobai said, "It wouldn't be good if I really hurt you!"

"snort!"

Jiang Jingcheng snorted coldly: "You little thing like you think you can hurt me?"

"That's utterly delusional!"

"Come quick!"

As he spoke, Jiang Jingcheng looked impatient.

Clearly, they didn't take what Jiang Xiaobai had seriously at all.

"This is what you requested yourself!"

Jiang Xiaobai's expression flashed with helplessness.

However, even so, Jiang Xiaobai really couldn't bring himself to actually hit his own father.

If something serious were to happen during the fight, that would be terrible.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai slowly raised his hand.

Jiang Jingcheng stood still, his expression indifferent.

There was even a hint of a slight chuckle in his voice.

Liu Guan stood to the side, staring intently without blinking.

Zhang Xinnian also held his breath.

next moment.

Jiang Xiaobai twitched his finger slightly.

However, just as he was about to strike, his wrist suddenly shifted, moving from Jiang Jingcheng to a nearby tree.

boom!

With a loud bang, flames erupted!

The people in the courtyard only felt a sudden ringing in their ears.

Immediately afterwards, the tree next to them, which was as thick as a bowl, suddenly shook.

next moment.

It exploded with a loud bang, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

The broken part of the tree was charred black.

Yes, the entire tree was actually blasted open in the middle, leaving a huge gash.

Click!

The tree swayed a few times before crashing heavily to the ground.

The entire courtyard fell silent instantly.

Liu Guan's eyes widened.

Zhang Xinnian opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Jiang Jingcheng had been smiling, but now that smile had completely frozen on his face.

He was so frightened that he shuddered.

Yes, even he was startled by the sudden explosion.

At that moment, Jiang Jingcheng's eyes changed little by little.

This……

What the hell is this thing?

There was no bowstring, no crossbow mechanism.

In fact... no hidden weapons were seen flying out.

But it was just that one moment.

A tree suddenly exploded?

Jiang Jingcheng's throat moved, then he slowly turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaobai.

As Jiang Xiaobai looked at Jiang Jingcheng's horrified expression, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

Then, he moved the object in his hand again, slowly aiming it at Jiang Jingcheng.

"Father."

"Shall we continue?"

"Wait a minute!"

Jiang Jingcheng immediately raised his hand and said urgently, "I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent business to attend to."

"I...I'll skip playing with you for now!"

After saying that, Jiang Jingcheng turned and left, his steps seeming to be several times faster than usual.

"Oh, Father!"

Jiang Xiaobai quickly called out, "Don't go!"

"Just a little while, very quickly!"

"Father!"

"Father……"

(Although we're still far from our goal, let's get going at four o'clock!!!)
