I was stunned.

In addition to the batch of artillery that my mother hid in Sanjiang Dam, and it is almost the only remaining Folang machine artillery in the world, there is also a cannon in the Central Plains?

Where did the artillery come from?

Could it be—

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I suddenly remembered the battle between Nian Baoyu, which I mentioned just now. When we met Humuhan, he told me that the Xichuan army had blocked the cavalry of their Dongchaga team back then, and the terrifying weapon used almost massacred them.

Could it be that gun?

Hearing my sudden rapid breathing, Pei Yuanhao said, "It seems that you know nothing about this."

My throat was a little tight, and I slowly said, "I remember, I heard from someone that Xichuan had gotten a cannon first, probably to verify its power. My father used that cannon to block an invasion of the Dongchaga division."

“…”

"That battle was for my mother to see."

If I was right, he probably hoped to get his mother's approval and let her understand that he could conquer the Central Plains with such a terrifying weapon and regain the throne.

However, the appearance of the weapon completely changed his fate and his mother later.

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a while, then said, "It's that cannon."

I felt a little incredible and hesitated and said, "That cannon... has come to your hands?"

"……yes."

"How did you get that thing?"

"Actually, you should be able to guess that those artillery were introduced to the Heavenly Kingdom by your Yan family."

I thought about it for a long time, only thought of a possibility, but I couldn't believe it. After hesitating for a long time, I slowly said: "Yes, was it my mother handed it to you?"

"She gave it to Huangkao."

“…”

"It should be that after she hid the cannon, she handed over this cannon to Huangkao."

"Why did she do this?"

"I couldn't figure it out before, but after seeing her, I suddenly understood it."

"What?"

"On the one hand, she believed in Huangkao. Even if she handed over that cannon to him, Huangkao would never talk about war easily; on the other hand, she always placed the hope of unification on us."

“…”

"I think she knows what kind of uproar this artillery can cause in the future and what role it will play in the war."

I sat there. Although Pei Yuanhao said it very clearly, I still felt that I could not come back to my senses for a long time. I wonder how long it took, I raised my head and looked at him and said, "Then, did you——— just hand over that thing to you after the Supreme Emperor woke up?"

"good."

Therefore, he was able to copy the Flanger guns in such a short time.

He said again: "It's a pity that the cannon has not been used for too long, and many places have become rigid. In addition, it is a bit dangerous, so when it is copied, it can only achieve 60% or 70% of the original appearance."

"So, you didn't plan to use it for war immediately, just tried it when you were in the capital."

"Yes, I'm not sure. I don't want to take it out. It's just telling the world that I'm doing this."

"But it seems that His Majesty was so confident when he negotiated with the Iron Cavalry King this time. You should have been fully confident about this batch of things. In such a short time, you have been so confident, and—"

My eyes looked around empty, and as we were talking, the deafening loud noise would sound every once in a while, and it never stopped.

It turns out that not only was he confident, but these things actually came in handy.

I said, "It's Xie Feng, right?"

His breath twitched slightly.

I said, "When I was in the ghost town before, Chabixing and Yuwenying jointly captured him. Your Majesty didn't want to exchange him for Miaoyan and Concubine Nangong because he was of great use."

“…”

"That's the use, right?"

"Yes," he did not deny it when he heard me say this: "No matter what, I can't let him return to Yuan Xiu's side."

“…”

"In the battle of Linfen, you have seen their catapults, which are quite large. If I let it go, even if I have this batch of things, I will not have much advantage."

"Then, where is he now?"

“…”

He didn't speak.

I probably know there is no need to ask.

Even if Xie Feng is still alive now, he probably won’t have many opportunities to see the light of day again in the future. Pei Yuanhao would not be able to leave such a living "murder weapon" in the world for others to drive.

This is true for the emperor's nature.

But at this time, I still felt that I couldn't understand my mother.

She knew the origin of the Pei family, so she was destined to not help her father seize the country. She handed over the cannon to Pei Ji because she had foresaw the possible war in the future, or in other words, she hoped that the court would have the ability to recover Xichuan; but on the other hand, she could not completely let go of her father.

So, she did not destroy the Flang machine cannon, but stayed in the Sanjiang Dam.

It turns out that even if she is as transparent as she can have such self-contradictory.

For some reason, I suddenly laughed.

Or maybe I can understand the contradictions in her heart, with the righteousness on one side and the private affairs on the other side.

Perhaps only at this time will I feel that she is a living person, or even a woman with affection, love and shortcomings.

She is too cold and far away in my memory.

Pei Yuanhao said: "What are you laughing at?"

The smile still remained on my face, but the trace of desolation in my heart was fleeting. I shook my head: "It's nothing, I just remembered the words that Your Majesty said to my mother when he was at Sanjiang Dam."

He suddenly became quiet.

My mother told him that everything is ready and there is no need for the east wind.

Perhaps, when the mother knew that he was Pei Ji's son, she had already guessed that he would do this, so she told him - extraordinary times and very means, but very different words are unusual.

Using such a weapon is an extraordinary method in an extraordinary period when he faces war and has no way out. His mother warned him that it is unusual because such a thing has too much killing spirit and is full of blood as soon as it is born. After the war, this thing should not appear again.

Therefore, it is very different, and it is uncommon.

Thinking about it now, he probably had noticed something that Qinghan said to me before, but he did not stop him. Although he did not like killing, he also understood that blood and bones were destined to be paved on the road to peace.

One general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven.

I was quiet for a while, and then said, "It's over, and I have nothing to say. It's just that His Majesty mentioned the Sanjiang Dam just now, and I remembered what my mother said to His Majesty - very two words, uncommon."

He said, "I always remember it."

“…”

"Wait until the general situation is settled, and when I return to the Ninth Five, I will seal up such things."

I said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Speaking of this, it seems like there is nothing to say.

The sound of artillery fire was still coming from afar, but the interval was getting longer and longer. I thought, if the war had not come to an end, the enemy's charge had been repelled.

Both situations are actually good.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and he had no intention of leaving, but I was so sleepy that I even drooped my eyelids. I wanted him to go back and rest, but he suddenly said, "You have been to Shengjing before."

"Yes."

“Are the walls there very strong?”

I thought about it and said, "No, either."

"How about it compared to Xi'an Prefecture?"

"There is a far cry from that," I said, "Lose is a lunatic. He can only rush and not defend in war."

“…”

"So, with these things in your Majesty, you probably won Shengjing into your pocket in advance."

He said: "Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. Even if I have such things, I don't think I can win every battle."

“…”

"It probably depends on God's will."

I thought for a while, then nodded.

It depends on this battle, where is the will of God on?
