Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 315 - 313: Retaliation Attack

Thus, the young Emperor directly returned the firearm to Lin Yi and swiftly urged him.

"Quickly reload it for me, I want to see just how powerful this thing really is."

Lin Yi could only shake his head helplessly upon seeing this.

He then took a parcel that Ying Yi sent over.

Inside this parcel, indeed, were all the necessaries.

However, as the young Emperor watched Lin Yi’s operation, he couldn’t help but frown.

"This thing is incredibly complicated, it’s not something that can be done in a short while."

Indeed, the entire operation was much slower than using a bow and arrow; in this time, several arrows could likely have been shot.

"There’s no helping it, this servant has been continuously researching on this.

Striving to develop fixed gunpowder charges as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he had already reloaded the gunpowder into the firearm, and once more stuffed in a bullet.

This bullet, though it may appear plain and unremarkable—a simple small black iron ball—its creation was indeed laborious.

It could be said to have stumped a group of craftsmen.

These blacksmiths could forge iron without issue on a normal day, but to manufacture uniformly spherical iron balls was extremely difficult, an almost impossible task.

In the end, they resorted to the most primitive manual grinding method.

As a result, minor variations in the sizes of these bullets were inevitable.

Moreover, there weren’t many of them either.

For this reason, Lin Yi could only think of another solution.

According to Lin Yi’s plan, to enhance the killing power in the future, it’s necessary to develop shotgun-like ammunition.

Of course, the primer could not possibly be developed successfully, and the real firing would still be like that of the Fire Gun.

Of course, all this is for later; at least for now, it’s still not feasible.

Now back to the present moment, Lin Yi, having finished loading the firearm, directly handed it to the young Emperor.

The young Emperor, upon seeing this, immediately stretched out her hand to receive it, then lifted it just like Lin Yi had done earlier.

However, when the young Emperor’s finger touched the trigger, just as she was about to pull it, she suddenly stopped.

This action made Lin Yi at his side somewhat surprised.

At this moment, the young Emperor suddenly turned her head, directing her gaze towards Lin Yi, then the corners of her mouth curved slightly, revealing a playful smile.

"Come cover my ears for me."

This statement directly stunned Lin Yi on the spot, not expecting her retaliation to come so swiftly.

Just now he had asked her to cover her ears, and now she had turned it around asking him to cover her ears for her, heh, truly a tit for tat.

But after all, the other party was the Emperor. Not being able to contest what she said, Lin Yi had no choice but to reluctantly remove his hands from his own ears and gently placed them over the young Emperor’s ears.

Until this moment, the young Emperor’s smiling expression deepened, the playful smile spoke volumes.

Lin Yi was gritting his teeth in frustration, really wanting to spank her backside.

But it wasn’t the time for that, he dared not do so, and could only honestly grit his teeth and cover her ears.

Then he brought his mouth close and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Your Majesty, I have suddenly comprehended a new technique. How about we practice it together after we return?"

However, upon hearing this, the young Emperor couldn’t help but shiver all over.

Every time this guy mentioned a new technique, it would exhaust him completely.

And precisely for this reason, Lin Yi’s words also gave the young Emperor a start, but soon the Emperor’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.

As Lin Yi leaned close to his ear, the Emperor suddenly pulled the trigger in his hand.

And the next moment, as the flint ignited the fuse, there was a loud bang.

The Emperor only felt a force on his shoulder, followed by a flash of fire erupting from the muzzle.

But that wasn’t the most important part. The moment the gunshot sounded, Lin Yi was truly startled.

He had never expected the Emperor to pull the trigger so decisively.

It so happened that his ear was right next to the gun, causing the loud noise to make his ears buzz.

Although he sensed Lin Yi’s state, at this moment, the Emperor was too distracted to tease him further and instead stared wide-eyed at the straw man in the center of the field, not blinking an eye.

That bang also gave the Emperor quite a scare.

Especially that force on his shoulder, which left the Emperor in surprised disbelief.

He hadn’t expected this thing to actually push back against him, which was quite different from shooting an arrow.

Moreover, despite being mentally prepared, that loud noise still gave him a big fright.

The Emperor believed that if this was used on a battlefield, against unprepared enemies, it would definitely have an unexpected effect.

But all these were thoughts for later. Right now, the Emperor’s entire focus was on the straw man in the field.

What amazed the Emperor was that right after Lin Yi fired a shot, a straw man immediately fell to the ground.

Although his own shot also made a noise and he saw the flash of fire, why were the straw men still standing perfectly intact in the field?

This directly caused the Emperor’s brows to furrow deeply.

By this time, Lin Yi, having recovered from the shock, followed the Emperor’s gaze.

At that glance, he couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

Hearing that laughter, even the not so bright Emperor knew why he was laughing.

Although this was his first time handling a gun, and his first time seeing one, he was no stranger to horseback archery.

And the only explanation for the current situation was that he had missed the shot.

Thinking of this, the Emperor’s face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

It should be known that he was a Divine Archer. Although the distance was far, at least a hundred paces away, he could still manage to hit a target at such a range with an arrow.

But now, in front of this scoundrel, he had missed the target altogether, how could this not make him feel somewhat vexed?

"What are you laughing at! Bring over the target for me!"

"Your Majesty, you can’t be like this. This is outright retaliation."

Who would have thought, upon hearing this, the Emperor’s lips revealed a smug smile:

"That’s right, I am deliberately retaliating. What can you do about it?"
