Chapter 413: Smoke and Fire

, causing the surrounding people to burst into laughter. Qin Luoyan pointed at them and said, "Look, they're laughing. Is that illegal"Yun Xiaoxing didn't dare to lay her hands on a pregnant woman in...After Xiaolong left, Qin Luoyan sat by the windowsill. She picked up her brush and paper and began to carefully draw on it. Anyone who saw the drawings could recognize them at a glance: they were guns!

However, unlike modern guns, she drew weapons resembling those from the 18th century. After all, black powder differs significantly from modern gunpowder in many aspects, including power output, making it difficult to control.

In her heart, she felt a subtle excitement. The invention of gunpowder itself was a great push for human progress, marking the end of the era of cold weapons. In this time and space of cold weapons, once gunpowder was born, one could easily imagine the impact it would have on the forces here.

The next evening, with two dark circles under his eyes, Xiao Long delivered what Qin Luoyan wanted just as dusk was setting in. However, the quantity fell far short of Qin Luoyan's requirements.

"You said you wanted three sets, but the blacksmiths simply couldn't finish them in time, so they made only one set. Since you need it urgently, I brought it to you first." Xiaolong said.

Qin Luoyan nodded, "Just one set then. It's better to have something than nothing during this crucial time. Thank you for your hard work."

"With your words of thanks, I feel it's all worthwhile." Xiaolongle chuckled.

Looking at Xiao Long's honest smile, Qin Luo Yan couldn't help but twitch a smile, "I really don't know what kind of person your master is, to be able to cultivate someone as clever as you. From the efficiency of your work, it doesn't seem like an ordinary scout."

"Attend to"

Little Dragon blinked. "Where could I possibly be outdone I'm the best bodyguard there is!"

"Dark guards" Qin Luoyan's eyes lit up, her gaze burning brightly. Usually, those who could afford to hire dark guards had some connection with the royal family.

Little Dragon saw the expression on her face and knew he had been tricked again. He quickly made up an excuse and slipped away. Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together. The woman who could be with her master was also cunning and shrewd.

Qin Luoyan's room was lit by lanterns all night, until dawn when the candles burned out and the lanterns naturally extinguished.

But just shortly after the lantern went out, there came noisy voices from in front of the courtyard. In a moment, Xu Hou and Yisheng hurried into the courtyard with grave expressions.

"Sister! Sister!" Yisheng ran and shouted, when he saw Qin Luoyan walk out of the house with a pale face, he quickly said: "Zuo Cheng made a move!"

"Faster than I expected." Qin Luoyan frowned, and asked, "How did he do it"

Just now, the master saw that the streets were already heavily guarded. It is said that 50,000 troops had gathered around the capital city, and are now attacking the city. The Imperial Guards have all been dispatched to defend each city gate. Now the people in the city are panicking, and there are even bandits taking advantage of the chaos to loot and burn, making ordinary people's lives miserable. To make matters worse, the government officials seem to be ignoring the plight of the people. So right now, everything is in complete disarray. Yi Sheng simply explained the situation.

Xu Hou added, “Not only that, the troops surrounding our courtyard have also reached an unprecedented low. It seems they've all been transferred to the city gate. With these people collaborating both inside and out, I estimate the city gate will soon fall into their hands. However, since Zuocheng is fighting under the banner of Yisheng, if I were the Emperor of Man country, I would intensify my search for Yisheng's whereabouts. So we... are also in danger. The only thing we can be grateful for is that we are inside the city, and the emperor might not expect us to be under his nose.”

After some analysis, Qin Luoyan understood the current situation. However, she still didn't dare to be careless and quickly took out what she had done in the past few days.

She gave the gauntlet with retractable blades to Xu Hou, the soft sword to Yisheng, and kept the bracers concealed with crossbow for herself, along with the newly forged firearm, the only one in this time.

Three people packed some essentials just in case, and as soon as they finished everything, a booming sound came from the direction of the city gate. Since this place was close to the South Gate, the noise must have come from there.

"The city gate was broken so quickly. Zuo Cheng is indeed a famous general of the barbarian country!" Xu Hou couldn't help but say.

Inside the capital of Man, smoke billowed everywhere, while at the Rong family residence high in the snowy mountains, preparations for battle were also underway.

Still in the most remote wing of the Rong family's manor, Ni Wan stood behind Fu Zi Mo, pushing his wheelchair out. It was her expression that made people's hearts ache; a mixture of helplessness and despair that pierced the soul at a glance.

Several maidservants were already waiting at the door to lead them. When the two walked out, the maids bowed slightly and stole a glance at Fu Zimu before shyly continuing to lead the way.

From this secluded room to the ice pool, one had to pass through a dozen corridors carved into the cliffs. The sides of these corridors were lined with the residences of Rong family disciples. Perhaps they had all heard that the opening of the ice pool today was for a discarded child of the Rong family, so there were heads peeking out from the windows along the corridors, stealing glances at Fu Zimuo and his party from time to time.

"That's the legendary abandoned child Sure enough, he has a bewitching appearance, just like his mother who betrayed the Rong family!"

"That's right, the heavens are indeed unfair. Such a person could create a force almost capable of rivaling the Rong family. Luckily, he ended up like this, otherwise, what would we Rong family's daughters be"

"So what if he's doing well He still comes crawling back to the family in the end. But the head of the house, really The Ice Pool is incredibly precious, it only opens for a day a year, and only one person can go in to wash their marrow. Why would he give it to this abandoned child this year And besides, he left the Rong family when he was young, he definitely doesn't know the family's internal martial arts, wouldn't he be courting death going into the Ice Pool"

"Who knows, to enter the Ice Pond one must have practiced the Rong Family's Inner Kung Fu for over ten years. If you don't practice the Rong Family's Inner Kung Fu before going in, it is very easy to experience reversed meridians and explode your body, how could he possibly want to use his paralyzed body to resist"

"It seems he's not that impressive after all. He doesn't even understand this, what a complete idiot."

Several voices could be heard clearly from the private rooms above the corridor. The people were standing by the window, not bothering to hide their words from Fu Zimo at all, as if they intentionally spoke out loud to humiliate him.

Fu Zimuo raised his head and glanced at them. The few people didn't back down at all, still standing defiantly by the window. One of the younger men even made a throat-slitting gesture as a provocation to Fu Zimuo.

Fu Zi Mo not only didn't get angry, but instead pulled out a strange smile. He said loudly, "It seems that the current young master of the Rong family is nothing like that."

To Fu Zimu, a seasoned fox, someone who wears their heart on their sleeve and acts arrogantly is easy prey. It's just a matter of time before he gets his due.
