Bang!
When Fang used the "match" to light the fuse, the strange thing he called the "Red Barbarian Cannon" disappeared in front of Li Xuan.
At the same time, the blue brick disappeared as well.
The blue brick did not disappear, but was directly smashed into pieces. The scattered pieces fell to the side of Li Xuan's feet.
Fang ran to the bushes to pick up his treasure. Although this thing was small, exquisite, and powerful, the recoil was not small. Every time it was used, it would jump a few feet away by itself.
Li Xuan picked up a piece of the blue brick and put it under his nose to sniff it. He smelled the smell of God's Punishment.
Could God's Punishment be used like this?
The hard blue brick was simply too fragile in front of this little thing. If it was replaced with a human skull, it would not be much different.
It was too fast, so fast that he could not see it clearly.
This thing was too powerful. Although Li Xuan's martial arts were not high, he estimated that even a martial arts master would not be able to defend against this thing.
The Mini Cannon that had just been fired was a little hot. Fang put it aside to cool down, walked over, and asked proudly, "How is it?"
Li Xuan looked at him and asked, "You just said that this is a smaller version. How big is the one that is not shrunk?"
Fang thought about it and gestured a few times. He realized that he could not make a gesture at all. He shook his head and said, "In short, it is very big. You will know when you see it."
Li Xuan quickly walked to Li Yi's side. His eyes lit up and he said, "Give me one of these things …"
"This is just a decoration. It is not very useful, and it is also dangerous …" Li Yi shook his head. The Mini Cannon was made by him for fun. Although it was powerful, the recoil was too strong. If an ordinary person held it in their hand, one shot would destroy their arm. Even someone as strong as Fang would not be able to handle it. He really did not dare to let Li Xuan play with this thing.
He also did not intend to let Li Xuan study a normal-sized cannon. The Jing Kingdom was still in the stage of stable development. They did not attack cities and territories. The Qi Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom were now afraid of them. It was not very useful to have this thing, and God's Punishment was enough.
Of course, the most important thing was that they were now in the early stage of testing. Although there was a lot of information that could be consulted and used for reference, there was no guarantee that there would not be any mistakes. They had to slowly improve and perfect it.
Li Xuan sat on the grass and played with the treasure that Fang had just taken out.
This thing could be considered a very powerful hidden weapon. Although after listening to Li Yi's explanation, he already understood that this thing had a lot of limitations, it did not matter if it had shortcomings. If there were shortcomings, they could just improve it. This was what the Academy of Science did.
Not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of hardships, and daring to make mistakes — these were the basic qualities that a scientific researcher must have.
Fang stood beside Li Xuan with a vigilant expression on his face.
The more interested Li Xuan was in this thing, the more uncertain he felt. He was the emperor, and the world was his. If he took a fancy to his treasure, should he give it to him or not?
He looked for a while and finally could not help but squat down and said, "Have you seen enough? If you have, give it back to me …"
…
Yang Fu squatted on the other side and was scaling a fish in his hand.
He had just heard the beautiful sister and his sister's martial uncle mention the two words "Li Han."
In this world, there were three people he was most afraid of. One was his second brother, another was his sister's martial uncle, and the last one was his sister.
Of course, he was afraid of his royal sister because he didn't want his royal sister to be sad. He was afraid of his second royal brother because his second royal brother had killed his father and mother, as well as his eldest royal brother. If he went back, his second royal brother would kill him. He was afraid of his royal sister's martial uncle because he had locked him in a dark room to calculate problems and didn't even give him food …
But if he had to say the person he hated the most, it was definitely Li Han.
Although he had never seen Li Han and did not even know what he looked like, how good he was at playing marbles, or whether he could urinate as far as he could …
But these were not important.
What was important was that whether it was Prime Minister Wang or his sister, they always compared him with Li Han, saying how powerful and outstanding Li Han was. In comparison, he, Yang Fu, was like an idiot …
So he hated Li Han. He did not like anyone or anything related to Li Han.
Therefore, when he found out that the beautiful and gentle sister was Li Han's sister, he did not think she was beautiful or gentle.
He touched his chest. There was a snake sewn from a piece of cloth. Fat Tiger had lent it to him to play with. They often used this thing to scare girls.
Girls were all afraid of snakes, and Li Han's sister was no exception.
She looked even prettier than Fat Tiger's sister, Fat Ya, and looked even more gentle than Fat Ya. When she talked to his sister's martial uncle, even her eyes were smiling. She must be more afraid of snakes than Fat Ya.
In the past few months, he had already understood that as long as Fat Tiger and the others could do it, he could do it. Using a fake snake to scare girls wouldn't be punished.
While Li Han's sister was washing her hands at the stream, Yang Fu quietly followed behind and threw the fake snake into the grass at her feet.
He pointed at the grass and said loudly, "Snake, there's a snake!"
"Ah!"
Shouning had squatted down to wash her hands by the stream, but she seemed to be startled by the sound. She waved her hand randomly in the grass beside her, grabbed something, and threw it out.
Yang Fu was indeed startled when he saw Li Han's sister. He laughed loudly and caught the fake snake, saying loudly, "Coward, that's fake …"
"Are you talking about this?"
Yang Fu saw the girl standing by the stream and turned around. She held something in her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
He saw clearly that it was the fake snake he had just thrown.
If she was holding the fake snake, then what was the slippery, long, soft, and moving thing in his hand?
Li Yi was roasting Shouning's favorite mushrooms when he suddenly heard a scream from the stream. When he turned his head, he saw Yang Fu running over from there, his pants wet.
His face was pale, and he shouted as he ran, "Snake, there's a snake …"
Yang Fu, who often used fake snakes to scare girls with Fat Tiger, would actually be scared by snakes. Li Yi shook his head and looked at Shouning, who was walking over from the stream. He seemed to understand something.
After learning martial arts from MIngzhu for two years, she was no longer the girl who would be scared by things like mice and snakes two years ago. Even Yong Ning was not afraid of these things. He had found the wrong person this time.
Shouning walked over and looked at him with some grievance. She said, "Sir, there was a snake in the grass. I didn't know he was so easily scared. He was so scared by a snake that he peed his pants …"
"Forget it, forget it. It's not the first time he peed his pants …" Li Yi waved his hand and handed over the roasted mushrooms. He said, "Try it …"
"Thank you, Sir …"
She reached out to take it and used chopsticks to feed Li Yi a piece before eating it herself.
Not far away, Yang Fu, who had already changed into a pair of pants, looked over with fear in his eyes.
She was so beautiful, looked so gentle, and smiled so sweetly. She wasn't afraid of snakes. She actually used snakes to scare him!
Her gentleness was fake, and her smile was fake … It was all fake!
He finally understood a principle. He couldn't provoke anyone around his royal sister and martial uncle!
…
Shouning had been by his side for the past few days, and Li Yi hadn't seen Yang Fu for a few days.
Of course, it wasn't just Shouning. Li Xuan had also been inseparable from him these past few days.
Li Xuan had never been to Shuzhou, but he had been heading west from the capital. He knew that the further west he went, the more desolate it was. Only when he reached the westernmost Shuzhou was everything different.
Although the construction of the city couldn't be compared to the capital, in terms of commercial prosperity, the current Shuzhou couldn't even be compared to the capital.
Other than here, there was no place like the Jing Kingdom, Qi Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, and Wu Kingdom that allowed free trade like Shuzhou.
Especially after seeing the shopping mall that Li Yi had described to him in the letter at the west gate, Li Xuan knew what kind of place Shuzhou would become in the future.
The two of them climbed up the city wall and looked down at the bustling crowd below. Looking at Li Xuan's expression, Li Yi casually asked, "Do you regret it?"
"I don't regret it." Li Xuan shook his head and said, "If I hadn't promised you this back then, there wouldn't be Shuzhou today."
He suddenly looked at Li Yi and asked curiously, "If you were to govern the Jing Kingdom in five years, ten years, fifty years … what would the Jing Kingdom look like?"
If it wasn't in public, Li Yi had the urge to kick Li Xuan off the wall.
Their family had already lost MIngzhu, and Li Xuan still wanted to do something to him. Was he worthy of the departed former emperor?
