Chapter 35 Awesome(2/2)
Li Mao looked at him and smiled. After a night of being beaten, his head and face were even more red and swollen. He couldn't even see a smile when he smiled. Instead, his face was deformed again due to pain.
"Sir, the catapult is ready."
The craftsman yesterday said tremblingly.
Li Mao stopped talking, took a deep breath, and limped towards the catapult. Fan Jianglin followed closely with a group of forbidden troops.
"It's best not to destroy my catapult in vain." Fan Jianglin said.
At this time, on the high platform, officials from the Arms Department were also giving instructions and explanations to the emperor.
"...The catapult has been modified so that it can throw the stone bullets he made."
The emperor nodded, slightly raised his body and looked down over the shield.
"Is that the stone bullet made by Li Mao?" he said.
The official looked around and saw that Li Mao, Fan Jianglin and others were already standing in front of the catapult. Li Mao was bending over and carefully taking out a stone bullet from a frame.
"Exactly." He said, "He tried many times and made five effective stone bombs. He used one the day before yesterday and one was misused by Fan Junjian yesterday."
Li Mao carefully put the stone bullets into the car and picked up the fire twister.
Seeing him like this, the Imperial Guards didn't react at all, but several officials from Gongnuyuan who had witnessed the scene yesterday subconsciously retreated.
"Don't be afraid, I made the fuse longer, leaving enough time for us to run away." Li Mao said, he shook his hand to light the fire twister, and when he was about to light it, he stopped and looked at Fan Jianglin,
"Master Military Supervisor, do you still dare to try again?"
Fan Jianglin reached out and took the fire twister and lit the fuse.
"Sir, please wake up before ordering." Li Mao shouted, turned around and ran away.
Seeing him running away, the people around him immediately cheered and ran back.
The emperor on the high platform smiled.
"You still want to run? If this is on the battlefield, wouldn't it be a loss of military power..." He shook his head and said, before he finished speaking, he saw a flash of red and white light in front of his eyes, and a loud explosion, like the ground shaking.
The guards holding their shields suddenly lost their order. The ministers and officials next to him seemed to be shouting, and some people rushed over to block him.
The emperor felt stars flashing in front of his eyes, and his ears were buzzing, but he seemed to be unable to hear anything.
This does not mean that the military power has been lost. Just this flat land thunder can scare the enemy back three miles.
Thoughts flashed through the emperor's mind.
It’s really scary!
It seemed like a long time passed. The accompanying chamberlain fed him seven or eight kinds of Qingxin Pills. Only then did the high platform become quiet and the emperor could see clearly and hear what was being said.
"Absurd! Ridiculous!"
Feng Lin's voice echoed in his ears.
"Not bad, not bad." The emperor sat up quickly, interrupting Feng Lin's words and praising him repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, you can see the effect." said the official of the Arms Department.
Ah, is it still effective? The effect is already pretty good.
The emperor raised his head when he heard the words. The imperial guards had all been withdrawn, and the view from the high platform was restored. At a glance, he could see the place blocked by a thick fence a mile away.
There were originally seven or eight cows and sheep surrounded there, but now there were no running cows and sheep, the fences were scattered, and on the ground...
The emperor stood up suddenly.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" The chamberlain hurriedly asked for help.
The emperor had already stood quickly by the high platform, holding on to the wall and looking at the ground in disbelief.
Although they were far away, they could still see the corpses of cattle and sheep scattered there, and the ground was a bloody mess.
Other officials also came over, and even Feng Lin stood up and stopped talking.
It was quiet on the high platform.
Fan Jianglin couldn't help but look back and frowned slightly.
This is completely different from the commotion caused by Liu Lang's test shooting of the Divine Arm Bow.
Isn't the power of this stone bullet shocking enough?
The emperor's face on the high platform gradually turned red, and his hand holding on to the stone railing trembled slightly.
A mile away, there was a stone bullet and a herd of cattle and sheep.
The range is not as good as the Divine Arm Bow, but this effect...
The God's Arm Bow only shoots one arrow per person, which is not considered an arrow error, but this one stone bullet is a piece.
One piece!
Although they were far apart, looking at the scene over there, you can imagine that the cattle and sheep were absolutely dead, and some of them even had their limbs scattered after being beaten.
If this were someone else...
When a stone bullet passes by, you can imagine the tragic scene.
How terrible! How terrible!
It is indeed a magical weapon that is a hundred times stronger than the Divine Arm Bow!
In less than half a year, I have already obtained two magical weapons!
The emperor couldn't help but look up at the sky, his face, which had always been weak and pale, turned red.
"God bless me!" he murmured.
God bless me!
"God bless my court!" the emperor shouted loudly.
This voice brought the stunned officials back to their senses.
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
Gao Lingbo shouted loudly and bowed to salute.
Suddenly a group of officials followed suit and shouted salutes.
Done!
Looking at the movement on the high platform, Fan Jianglin finally breathed a sigh of relief. The tightly clenched hands hanging by his sides relaxed, and the wet sweat faded away in the cold wind.
"Li Mao, I want to reward you!"
On the high platform, Li Mao, who had been summoned, raised his head after hearing this.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He said, his head and face were swollen, and there was no sign of excitement, "But I dare not suffer alone."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
"Don't you dare to suffer alone? Didn't you do this?" the emperor asked.
Could it be...
A name suddenly flashed in the minds of the emperor and the ministers present, and their expressions became strange.
"No, it was made by Xiaomin." Li Mao said hurriedly.
There seemed to be a sound of relief in my ears.
The emperor subconsciously touched several cases.
"It's just that Xiao Min made this thing because he was inspired by someone else." Li Mao continued, "Without that person's guidance, Xiao Min couldn't have done it, so Xiao Min didn't dare to take the credit."
The emperor nodded, humble and honest, not bad.
"It's okay, I'll reward you both." He smiled and said, "Who is that person?"
Li Mao kowtowed and thanked him, then raised his head.
"Mrs. Cheng of Jiangzhou from Yudaiqiao," he said.
The emperor's hand on the cases froze, and the expressions of the officials present also froze.
Sure enough! Still! She!
Why is she everywhere?
Feng Lin, who was standing behind the crowd, looked dull and motionless under the cold wind on the high platform.
