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

"That cannon is truly formidable!"

After regaining her senses, Mo Li stared at the collapsed wall in the distance, the shock on her face lingering for a long time.

Then, Mo Li turned to Jiang Xiaobai: "I never expected that you, Young Master Jiang, could design such a mechanism!"

Jiang Xiaobai was so young, yet he had such ingenious ideas, which truly broadened her horizons.

It should be noted that their Tianji Tower has a history of over a hundred years, during which time they have created countless mechanisms and devices.

But there has never been a cannon with such a simple structure yet such amazing power.

"Ha ha!"

As Jiang Xiaobai's loud laughter rang out, Mo Li felt a blur before her eyes, and before she could react, she was pulled into Jiang Xiaobai's arms.

what?

Mo Li stared blankly at Jiang Xiaobai, who was holding her.

Before she could react, Mo Li heard Jiang Xiaobai's loud laughter: "Brother Mo Li, speaking of which, we have to thank you for this!"

"Without your Heavenly Mystery Pavilion... I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to make this!"

Jiang Xiaobai truly hadn't expected that Tianji Tower would make this cannon so beautifully.

The first test firing was not only successful, but the cannon barrel also did not crack in the slightest.

In his excitement, Jiang Xiaobai reached out and patted Mo Li hard on the back twice.

"Oh, no...you're welcome!"

Mo Li's body tensed up, and he didn't know where to put his hands for a moment. His voice sounded obviously flustered.

Jiang Xiaobai, however, remained oblivious, a smile still on his face.

As Jiang Xiaobai released Mo Li, his nose twitched slightly: "Hehe, Brother Mo Li still smells nice!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Li's expression became even more unnatural.

Seeing Mo Li's reaction, Jiang Xiaobai chuckled twice more, then turned his gaze back to the cannon, circling it and becoming increasingly satisfied with his observation.

Tang Ningshuang, standing to the side, shook her head helplessly at the scene and said, "Jiang Xiaobai, what you just used was just an ordinary iron ball, wasn't it?"

"Then... could we also see that loaded shell?"

If ordinary shells are this powerful, she wonders how loaded ones will perform.

"sure!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and agreed.

In fact, he himself was also very much looking forward to it.

only……

Jiang Xiaobai then looked up and glanced into the distance.

At this moment, that wall has completely collapsed.

It's not so easy to find a suitable target these days.

"Brother Mo Li!"

Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a moment, then turned to Mo Li and asked, "Do you have anything sturdier here?"

"have!"

Mo Li snapped out of his daze and immediately instructed the people beside him to bring a huge stone plate and place it on the wall.

"How about this one?"

Mo Li looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked.

"Can!"

As Jiang Xiaobai nodded, he walked to the cannon and began preparations again, finally adjusting the cannon's direction.

"Everyone, step back!"

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai reminded them, Tang Ningshuang and the others immediately stepped back.

After Jiang Xiaobai saw that everyone had retreated far away, he picked up the tinderbox and lit the fuse.

In no time, a deafening sound once again echoed throughout the courtyard.

boom!

The loaded shells slammed heavily onto the stone slab, followed by a second, even more terrifying explosion.

boom!

With a loud cracking sound, the heavy stone slab shattered into pieces, sending a large amount of debris flying in all directions.

After everything gradually calmed down, everyone looked up.

The stone disc was completely shattered, leaving a huge crater where it had been.

This……

Silence fell once again in the courtyard.

Tang Ningshuang stood there, speechless for a long time. The fact that the ordinary iron ball had just blasted the wall down was enough to shock her.

But the shells in front of us are clearly even more terrifying in power!

If this thing falls into the midst of an army formation, I'm afraid no one will be left alive around it.

The princess's throat, hidden beneath her bamboo hat, twitched slightly, her face filled with horror.

Even a grandmaster-level martial artist would probably not be able to withstand this attack head-on.

Moreover, if there were more of these cannons, what kind of scene would that be?!

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the rubble scattered on the ground, and his smile grew even brighter.

Its power was even greater than he had anticipated.

"Brother Mo Li!"

Jiang Xiaobai turned around excitedly and looked at Mo Li, saying, "I'll send someone to drag this thing back to the Marquis's residence as soon as I get back today!"

"in addition……"

Jiang Xiaobai patted the cannon and said earnestly, "Could you please have Tianji Tower make a few more of these, based on this design?"

"But remember, the blueprints, including the gunpowder ratios and shell manufacturing methods, must never be leaked!"

Jiang Xiaobai knew that these were all important artifacts, and if word got out, they would be extraordinary.

"rest assured!"

Mo Li responded softly, "The items sent by Prince Jiang have extremely high requirements, so they have always been produced by the core craftsmen of Tianji Workshop!"

"The people outside are only responsible for moving materials; they have absolutely no access to the actual blueprints!"

"Therefore, it will absolutely not be leaked!"

Mo Li was confident in this, as their Heavenly Mystery Tower had a dedicated defense mechanism.

As for the blueprints, each person only builds a part, but when they are combined, it becomes another group of people.

Moreover, she had personally witnessed how dangerous Jiang Xiaobai was, so she would naturally pay even more attention to this aspect.

"Okay, then I'm relieved!"

As Jiang Xiaobai responded, he circled the cannon to make sure there were no problems, then said, "Brother Mo, we'll take our leave then!"

"Okay, I'll see you off!"

As Mo Li responded, he and Jiang Xiaobai walked and chatted as they headed outside.

After returning to the main gate of Tianji Tower, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Mo Li and bowed again, saying, "Brother Mo Li, no need to see me off, farewell!"

"Goodbye!"

With Mo Li nodding, Jiang Xiaobai led Tang Ningshuang and the other two into the carriage.

Mo Li stood at the door until the carriage had completely disappeared before turning her gaze away.

However, at that moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind Mo Li, and then Chang Ying came up.

"Mo Li, what was that loud noise earlier?"

After Chang Ying came to Mo Li's side, she asked.

Indeed, those two loud bangs almost echoed throughout the entire Tianji Tower.

She was busy elsewhere, but upon hearing the news, she naturally rushed over.

"Oh, it's the cannon designed by Young Master Jiang!"

Upon seeing that it was Chang Ying, Mo Li replied softly, "I just tested it, and its power is indeed terrifying!"

Chang Ying was immediately shocked; she knew what a cannon was.

But... did that thing really make such a big commotion?

"Aunt Chang, you can go and take a look at that pit over there later, and you'll know!"

Don't leave your mouth.

Chang Ying responded and prepared to go check, but then she remembered something: "By the way, Mo Li, now that Prince Jiang is here, has your soft armor been returned yet?"

"this……"

Mo Li's expression became unnatural, and she gently shook her head: "Not yet!"

"not yet?"

Chang Ying was taken aback.

Mo Li regretted giving away that soft armor countless times.

Now that Jiang Xiaobai has come in person, he still hasn't gotten it back?

"Well, let's just consider it... a gift for him!"

After Mo Li finished speaking, he did not continue to explain. He turned around and walked into the Tianji Tower.

Chang Ying stood there, watching Mo Li's departing figure, her face full of surprise.

Did you send it?

This... doesn't seem like Mo Li's personality at all!
