Chapter 45 Preparation

The arrival of Yingzong and Wang Zhen made the third prince somewhat frown. Seeing Wang Zhen’s suspicious look, the third prince was somewhat unsure. He was worried that Wang Zhen would be a fool on Zhu Yuqi’s way to Fuzhou, so he originally planned to set off for two days. After all, the journey from Beijing to Fuzhou was long, and even if he rushed over immediately, the deceased had been buried. At the same time, the emperor also spoke, asking to select the Jinyiwei, who is highly skilled in martial arts to protect the princess. It would take some time to choose a good guard.

After carefully analyzing the third prince's plan, Jiang Lang found that there were many loopholes. However, because he was the prince, even Wang Zhen could not impeach him. Moreover, these three princes had no soldiers and power in the court. Even if he made suggestions to Yingzong, Yingzong would not touch the third prince due to his uncle and nephew. The most important thing among them is that these three princes did not have any threat to the throne.

So Wang Zhen was very angry because the third prince refused to marry, but he was helpless.

After Yingzong and others left that day, Ge Qing took Jiang Lang to the residence of the old man Xu, which was the most remote place in the royal palace. Jiang Lang was somewhat strange because of this. After listening to Ge Qing's explanation, he realized that the old man Xu loved Qingjing and chose this place himself.

Jiang Lang's first purpose was to find Old Man Xu's residence. According to Ge Qing, this person has a weird personality and rarely interacts with others. He basically doesn't see him.

After hearing this, Jiang Lang probably guessed that he wanted to impress this person, that is, to attract his attention. So after going back, he immediately connected the drawings of the revolver structure and parts. For Jiang Lang, who is familiar with almost every gun, drawing these things in detail is not a difficult task, but it is still unknown to create them.

The next morning, Jiang Lang came to Old Man Xu's residence, knocked on the door gently, and said aloud: "Is Uncle Xu here?"

"Who!"

An old voice came from the room, a little impatient. After all, I was disturbed early in the morning, so I naturally felt better.

Yesterday, Ge Qing had already told Jiang Lang that although this old man Xu had a strange temper, he loved the princess very much. He understood this truth. When Jiang Lang heard the people inside, he immediately said: "I am the princess's guard. The princess is about to set off for Fuzhou in the past few days, so he ordered me to come to find Uncle Xu to find something."

"etc!"

After a moment of silence, the person inside replied, after waiting for a while, the door was opened, revealing an old face, his messy hair and beard were gray and his face was full of wrinkles.

"Princess Guard Wang Dacai pays homage to Uncle Xu!"

Jiang Lang immediately polites, so-called "no wonder there are too many people."

Old Man Xu looked up and down at Jiang Lang and said, "What's the matter with you if that girl wants you to find me?"

Jiang Lang immediately took out the drawings he had drawn last night and handed them to Old Man Xu, saying, "Please forgive me, uncle. I am the princess's guard, but I mean to find you. It has nothing to do with the princess. I hope the uncle can help me create something!"

Old Man Xu's face suddenly showed some dissatisfaction, but he still gave Zhu Yuqi some face, took the drawings, looked at them, and then a light appeared in his eyes, as if a greedy person had seen the delicious food.

Jiang Lang couldn't help but nodded in his heart, the situation was the same as he expected.

After quickly reading the drawings, Old Man Xu opened the door without saying a word and said, "Come in and talk!"

"yes!"

Jiang Langke replied politely, and then followed into the house.

The whole house was very messy, but very spacious. There was a small ironworks workshop in the corner of the wall, and the house was filled with various materials. The only thing was empty was a road leading to the bedside, and by the bedside, there was a table that looked like it was his workbench.

He casually went to a stool in front of the workbench, and Old Man Xu waved the drawings and said, "Your this is feasible?"

Jiang Lang was not polite, and sat casually on a stool that looked dirty. After all, people like Old Man Xu must make him feel that you are the same person as him, so that he can regard you as a confidant. Jiang Lang’s understanding of guns is another advantage of him. In a certain aspect, the two still have a common language.

When Old Man Xu asked, Jiang Lang nodded affirmatively and said, "Absolutely feasible!"

"Are you so sure?"

Old Man Xu was a little surprised by Jiang Lang's confidence. He claimed that he was a master in the mechanism and naturally understood the muskets he used now, but the drawings were also guns, but they were obviously different from now.

Jiang Lang did not avoid Old Man Xu's gaze, but smiled slightly and said, "I can be sure, but I can't create him, I can only ask you!"

Old Man Xu showed a look of thought on his face, and then he asked carefully: "How many pieces do you want to make?"

Jiang Lang raised his finger and said, "One, one is enough!"

"One?"

Old Man Xu suddenly became a little surprised and said, "You can build one?"

Jiang Lang nodded, knocked on the drawings, and said, "I don't hide it from you, uncle. I am the Jinyiwei. Thanks to the prince's favor, I asked me to be the princess's guard. Recently, the princess encountered some troubles and wanted to set off for Fuzhou immediately. The princess ordered me and teach me to protect him along the way. For the princess' safety, I can only ask you to help me build a piece. In this world, you and me are the only ones who know this weapon!"

Old Man Xu looked at Jiang Lang with some doubts and said, "You are the Jinyiwei? Then why should I believe you are the Princess's guard?"

Jiang Lang smiled lightly, took out the token given by the prince and said, "This is the token given by the prince. I think you should recognize it. And if I have malicious intentions, I can't find you at all. I will give this drawing to the Jinyiwei directly, so the court will naturally produce such weapons. The reason why I come to you alone is that I don't want this kind of thing to be mastered by some people. I think you have heard of the situation in the court, so I naturally know who I am referring to."

Old Man Xu looked at Jiang Lang carefully, then looked at the drawings in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "That's it, I will believe you!"

"Uncle Thank you!" Jiang Lang smiled slightly and clasped his fists.

Three days later, Jiang Lang came to Old Man Xu's house again and knocked on the door gently.

The door was opened quickly. Old Man Xu poked his head out and saw that it was Jiang Lang. He nodded and said, "Come in!"

After three days of seeing each other, Old Man Xu looked much older and his eyes were covered with blood, which made Jiang Lang feel a little apologized.

After entering the house, Old Man Xu handed Jiang Lang a tightly wrapped thing in paper, and then gave him two yellow bullets and said, "The thing you drew is good and it is indeed credible. But in three days, I really can't make it. So according to your idea, I improved it on the original musket to fire the bullets you mentioned, and it is very difficult to make the bullets you mentioned. So far, I have only made two, and I estimate that this thing can take about twenty steps, which is its limit. It can be hit every time in ten steps or something!"

Holding the yellow bullet in his hand, Jiang Lang had already identified that it was a shell made of gold, but he was still a little disappointed. He could not create rifle, and the barrel was short, and the distance of more than ten steps had become the limit of the gun, and there were only two bullets.

"It seems that this gun can only be used under unavoidable circumstances!"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he still saluted respectfully to Old Man Xu and said, "Thank you Uncle Xu!"

Old Man Xu shook his head and said, "Qi'er's little girl has never been so far away. And I have also asked the people in the mansion these days. I know the reason for the matter. If you don't say anything else, Wang Zhen will definitely do things on the way. I can't help much, so I can only do this. As for the rifles you mentioned, I hope I can solve it when you come back!"

Jiang Lang immediately shook his head and said, "Uncle, don't make this thing now, and burn the drawings. There are many spies from the Middle East Factory in the Wangfu. I asked you to build this and you took a lot of risks. I am worried that if you continue, you will be discovered by the people from the East Factory. It will be detrimental to you!"

Old man Xu shook his head and said, "I will be careful. You don't have to worry about this. You will set off tomorrow. You will also go back and prepare. Remember, you must protect the princess!"
