Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 383 - 380: Upgraded Firearms

This night was destined to be unforgettable for Lin Yi.

When he woke up from the Imperial Study Room the next day, his legs were trembling involuntarily.

It would have been difficult for him to stand without leaning on the wall.

And this was despite his significantly improved skills.

Had it been before, one could imagine what a state Lin Yi would have been in.

Confronted with his state, the young Emperor snorted coldly.

Even though his lips were swollen like sausages, the Emperor refused to admit defeat.

Especially when he looked at Lin Yi, he glared, as if to say, come on, if you dare, let’s fight another round.

On the contrary, Ying Yi was floating on air, all sprightly, because she hadn’t argued with Lin Yi.

Seeing the puffed-up Emperor, Lin Yi was also full of sympathy.

"Ah, Your Majesty, why make things so difficult? Injuring the enemy a thousand, self-harm eight hundred; look at me, all wobbly, and Your Majesty’s mouth swollen like a sausage. Why put yourself through this?"

"Stop infuriating me.

Starting from today, you will report to the palace every night.

I want to see just how much stamina you have.

By the way, take some time to rest well. Tonight, the Empress will dine with me, and you should be prepared to stay in this Imperial Study Room."

If it had been before, Lin Yi would have been elated to hear these words.

But now, he could not help but tremble inwardly.

He was inwardly lamenting, looking at the young Emperor with eyes full of unspoken grievance.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I will not mess around in the future.

Please give me another chance! I really can’t handle it anymore!"

After saying this, he bowed his head in a gesture of apology.

That finally made the young Emperor snort coldly, releasing some pent-up emotion.

Although he didn’t object to the man finding his own close associates, he shouldn’t cause such a mess!

Suddenly gathering an army of a thousand, such a thing was truly unprecedented.

It would be no exaggeration to describe it as having no predecessor nor successor.

"Hmph, consider this a lesson this time, so you’ll know what can be done and what can’t.

But let me be clear, a thousand people are my limit; if you dare to mess up again, I won’t hesitate to give you a proper punishment.

The Flying Fish Uniform and the Brocade Spring Blade you have are quite nice.

I won’t meddle with the uniform, but you need to forge more of those Brocade Spring Blades.

The weapons for my Imperial Guards and Shadow Guard need to be uniform.

Of course, they should be distinguishable from those of your Nanshan Guards."

Hearing the young Emperor loosen up gave Lin Yi a great sigh of relief.

He knew he had overcome this hurdle, and the Emperor had also acknowledged the existence of his thousand-man guard.

Thinking this, Lin Yi finally broke into a smile.

He also reassured the Emperor repeatedly that there would be no problem.

Just some Brocade Spring Blades? He could stop distributing them to the Nanshan Guards for now and prioritize delivery to the Emperor.

As for the design, naturally, it could be easily distinguished.

Simply changing the pattern on the hilt of the Brocade Spring Blades would suffice.

Carving a ’Shadow’ on the Shadow Guard’s blade, wouldn’t that do the trick?

Carving ’Imperial’ on the Imperial Guards’ blades would also be perfect.

Such minor adjustments won’t affect the production of the blades at all.

"How is the creation of the firearms progressing?

Your Majesty’s Shadow Guard has reported that the barbarians are currently restless and approaching our border.

It’s possible that they will attack our You Country soon.

Moreover, it’s very likely that they already know of the demise of the two Princes within the Capital City.

If the barbarians do attack, our current strength is still insufficient."

At this point, the young Emperor’s brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was filled with helplessness.

Clearly, the biggest problem they faced right now was the barbarians.

Should these people really come to attack, the variables would be significant.

Now, the young Emperor could only place all his hopes on Lin Yi and the Nanshan Army.

After all, the current Nanshan Army was to be fully equipped with firearms.

A ten-thousand-man firearms unit would unquestionably be able to sway the outcome of a battle.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, the firearms are now equipped for 3,000 men, and the daily production efficiency is remarkably fast.

Currently, we can manufacture at least 300 firearms per day.

In less than a month, they can be fully equipped.

Moreover, we have also developed many hand grenades.

It’s nearly possible to supply two for each person.

That’s not all; I have recently had people developing an enlarged version of the firearm, which is not only more powerful but also has an incredibly long range.

It should be developed within the next few days, and then Your Majesty can visit the Nanshan Guards to see for yourself."

Hearing that Lin Yi had yet another new development, the young Emperor’s eyes instantly brightened.

He put aside how this scoundrel had previously angered him, looking at him with some excitement:

"There’s even an enlarged version of the firearm, with great power; could it be even more powerful than our current firearms?

However, after enlarging the Fire Gun, while the power may increase, I’m afraid it will not be convenient to carry, right?

Your Majesty has personally handled the current firearms, and they are indeed not light, making it difficult for an ordinary Soldier.

If it’s made heavier, I’m afraid it would be hard to maximize its effectiveness.

Once on the battlefield, such a cumbersome and long object could prove to be of little use."

It must be said, although the young Emperor is young, his experience is still substantial.

He immediately pointed out the disadvantages of the enlarged version of the Fire Gun.

In the young Emperor’s view, no matter how much larger the enlarged version of the firearm could be, it just seemed to double the size of the current firearms at most.

He simply couldn’t conceive of the existence of a cannon.

But faced with the young Emperor’s doubts, Lin Yi just smirked and played coy:

"I naturally have an ingenious solution to these problems.

And the ’enlarged version’ I mentioned isn’t what Your Majesty imagines.

In three days, after three days, Your Majesty may go to the Nanshan Guards to uncover the truth."

Watching Lin Yi’s smug expression, the young Emperor couldn’t help but curl his lips:

"Alright, you may leave. Don’t be too arrogant and self-satisfied. Prepare yourself well, you will need your strength tonight.

If you cannot satisfy the Empress this time, I will have to inquire personally."

One sentence caused the previously triumphant Lin Yi to instantly wilt.
