Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 312 - 310: A New Weapon Again?

When Lin Yi arrived at the Imperial Palace, the young Emperor had already been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Lin Yi walk in, the young Emperor didn’t beat around the bush and recounted all the recent events in detail.

After hearing the young Emperor’s recount, Lin Yi’s brows also slightly furrowed.

As the young Emperor had anticipated, Lin Yi also sensed something fishy about the situation.

The Sixth Prince’s behavior was too abnormal, and without thinking, one would know that this old fellow would definitely not be so willing to follow the young Emperor’s wishes.

Moreover, there must be some occurrences that the young Emperor couldn’t have foreseen.

"Your Majesty, do you think the Sixth Prince could be colluding with the enemy?"

Lin Yi, with his brows furrowed, suddenly posed this question, and the young Emperor also frowned deeply upon hearing this.

"It’s not impossible, but the likelihood is not that high.

Although the Sixth Imperial Uncle covets your throne, he wouldn’t dare to snatch it so brazenly.

If he truly colluded with the enemy at this time, even if he managed to seize the throne in the short term, it’s likely that both the Fourth Imperial Uncle and the one at Yumen Pass would never agree to it.

They would certainly use this as a pretext to advance into the Capital City and snatch the throne directly."

This reasoning also made sense.

However, if collusion wasn’t the plan, then what else could be amiss in this situation?

"I have already dispatched the Shadow Guard to keep an eye on the Sixth Imperial Uncle and his followers. Any slightest move they make will be reported to me."

As he said this, the young Emperor’s brows suddenly lifted, and he looked at Lin Yi:

"How are things on your end?

Have the quantities of hand grenades increased in these ten days?

And what about your Nanshan Army’s training? Have they become combat-effective?"

At this point, Lin Yi nodded as well:

"The training has been continuous and unrelenting these days.

It can be said that the Nanshan Army is now distinct from in the past.

The results of the training have been rapid and remarkable.

This force of 3,000 soldiers, if they encountered a force of 5,000, would not be at a disadvantage."

Lin Yi held great confidence in this point; after all, following his training, these men were clearly not comparable to the scattered and unorganized soldiers of the present.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that even now, if they were deployed against a regular army, they wouldn’t be too passive.

Of course, the only difference with this army was that they hadn’t been baptized by blood.

In other words, they had only been trained on paper. If they truly found themselves on that cruel battlefield, it remained unknown if they could maintain their current combat strength.

Naturally, Lin Yi had faith in his own abilities and methods. He believed that after these soldiers were trained, they would certainly not let him down.

"However, this is still not enough. Even if your 3,000 men could hold off 5,000, we are still far outnumbered in terms of military strength.

The only thing we can currently rely on is the hand grenades.

You must expedite the production on your end, and spare no expense to produce more hand grenades at any cost."

To this, Lin Yi naturally nodded, indicating that it wouldn’t be a problem.

The same efforts were indeed being made on his side.

It could be said that the Hand Grenade Workshop was now running at full capacity.

Whether it was the manpower or the working hours, they were both at their maximum.

Production was ongoing 24 hours a day, and they had hardly ever stopped; even so, the quantity produced still seemed insufficient.

After all, the shell used in making hand grenades is not something that can be cast easily.

Moreover, during the casting process, it is also necessary to ensure the hermeticity of the object. After all, if it leaks everywhere, its explosive power will be greatly reduced once ignited.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, it’s not just the hand grenade. In this recent period, I have also developed a new weapon.

If used properly, this weapon will have an unexpectedly powerful effect."

Upon hearing this, the young Emperor’s eyes immediately lit up.

After all, the last time Lin Yi had spoken like this, it was when the hand grenade had been unveiled.

That hand grenade had certainly given her an enormous shock.

Hearing Lin Yi mention a new weapon, how could the young Emperor not be thrilled?

So excited that she immediately stood up, grabbed Lin Yi by the sleeve, and asked eagerly:

"You have developed a new weapon, that’s wonderful! What is it? Bring it here for me to see at once."

Looking at the young Emperor’s impatience, Lin Yi smiled helplessly and shook his head:

"Your Majesty, please be patient. I just tested this item before coming here.

And I have brought it with me, but there is no way to test this thing here."

Hearing this, the young Emperor immediately pulled Lin Yi towards the door, while saying:

"Let’s go to the drill ground, quickly! I can’t wait to see what kind of weapon it is."

Looking at the young Emperor’s impatience, Lin Yi found it quite amusing:

"I have named this weapon, ’gun’."

As she walked towards the outside, the young Emperor heard this and was abruptly taken aback, stopping in her tracks and turning her head to look directly into Lin Yi’s eyes:

"What did you say? The weapon you’ve developed is a gun?

What use is it, even if it’s sharper?

I thought you had created a divine artifact like the hand grenade!

Ah! It seems I’ve thought too much. Indeed, how could there be another divine object like the hand grenade? I’ve been too greedy."

Visibly, the excitement and anxiety on the young Emperor’s face slowly faded into a dull melancholy.

In her heart, upon hearing the word ’gun’, her first thought was of a type of spear.

Perhaps the spear Lin Yi had developed was indeed sharper, faster perhaps.

If this had been said before, the announcement of a sharper spear would have been a matter of great pleasure for the young Emperor.

But now, no matter how sharp it was, it could not compare with the hand grenade.

On reflection, it was understandable; after all, it was difficult enough to have developed the hand grenade, let alone something that could match it.

However, her sudden halt caught Lin Yi off guard, causing him to bump directly into the young Emperor.

Enveloping the young Emperor tightly in his arms.

And inexplicably, Lin Yi lowered his head and deeply inhaled the young Emperor’s fragrance.

At this, the young Emperor’s face, which had been somewhat downcast, instantly flushed red.

"You rogue, I’ve seen through you now. You haven’t developed any new weapon at all!

Hmph, don’t think I don’t know what you mean by ’gun’.

You just want to challenge me, don’t you? Since you have a gun, I have a shield too!

Come on, let’s see if your spear is still as fast after all this time." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
