Early the next morning, Zhu Yunxuan got on the carriage returning.
Although he did not catch any wild animals on this hunting trip, he still gained a lot.
Especially getting the oath from King Zhu Di of Yan was really important to Zhu Yunzhen.
People in this era have more or less faith in gods and Buddhas, the cycle of heaven, and retribution.
I will not break the oath I made easily.
A poisonous oath is much stronger than the binding force of an iron coupon in an elixir.
He could also vaguely feel that Zhu Di's attitude towards him should have changed a lot.
Although it cannot be ruled out that there is an element of acting in it, at least it seems to be a bit more real.
Maybe people have their own preferences, and what Zhu Di likes is powerful weapons?
Zhu Yunxuan was also quite satisfied with his invention of the flintlock gun.
It's not that he hasn't thought about it before, but as a person who doesn't even have a half-level proficiency and has only heard the name and understands the basic principles, he feels that it is very likely that he will not be able to make it.
I didn’t continue to think about it deeply.
Unexpectedly, with the cooperation of the outstanding craftsmen of Ming Dynasty, the drawings were actually created.
The invention of the flintlock can be said to be epoch-making.
At least one, if we talk about an important method used by the previous Gufan to deal with the grassland nomads.
That is just one of the methods.
It is definitely effective, but it is not easy to implement and it will take time.
The widespread use of flintlocks will forever dethrone the nomads.
Under the power of guns, prairie cavalry can no longer pose any effective threat to the infantry in the Central Plains.
Since entering the era of hot weapons, nomadic people have grown up on horseback, and the kung fu they have developed on horseback will no longer play a big role in war.
The trend of the times is rolling forward.
Zhu Yunzhen thought deeply. Since things like flint guns can be slowly produced with the cooperation of craftsmen through repeated deliberation, what about other things?
In his previous life, he had only a partial understanding of many things.
After all, we are in an era of information explosion.
If you haven’t eaten pork, can you still live without a pig?
I know a little bit about everything, and I can even talk about it on the Internet, give advice, and inspire words.
But when it comes to specific details...well, he still needs a bride.
I thought that this kind of general and empty knowledge would be of no use.
But who would have thought that those craftsmen who have been immersed in the workshop for decades are not ordinary people.
For many inventions and creations, he may only need a few tips, or even just point out a general direction, to play a huge role in promoting them.
Technology development is like this. Just exploring the direction requires stepping on countless pitfalls.
Not to mention, in today's Ming Dynasty, basically no one can see how much technological development will bring great changes to the future world.
There is not much motivation to promote it.
But Zhu Yunzhen knows it.
"With just a few pointers, you may be able to create an important item."
"If we draw a certain direction, maybe we can advance technology for decades or even centuries?"
This made him very excited.
I instantly found myself traveling through time, which was really useful.
Change the Ming Dynasty, change the world...
Just as he was thinking about all this and getting more and more excited, the car curtain was lifted open.
"You are really haunted."
Looking at Xu Miaojin getting into the car, Zhu Yunzhen's head was a bit big.
Why did this little girl get stuck with him?
Xu Miaojin looked a little depressed, and her eye circles were red and swollen, as if she had cried a lot not long ago, and the dark circles next to her eyes seemed like she had not slept all night.
"I'm here to give you something." She said softly.
Her words are no longer as arrogant as before, but appear to be very gentle.
"But I don't need anything, right?" Zhu Yunxu spread his hands.
Are you kidding?
He is a majestic grandson and is currently Lao Zhu’s favorite person. You can say that he has whatever he wants and needs you to give him anything.
"Your things are lost, I'm here to return them to you."
Xu Miaojin said and took out a jade pendant in his hand.
It was the True Dragon Jade Pendant given to him by Lao Zhu.
Zhu Yunzhen touched his waist and found that the real dragon jade pendant that had been hanging on his waist had disappeared without knowing it.
"How did my jade pendant get into your hands?" he asked in a voice.
"A smart person like you must have guessed long ago that what happened at Jixian Tower the day before yesterday was caused by someone deliberately setting up a trap."
"I was also used by others, that's why I said words to provoke you."
"You are much smarter than me, you should have thought of it a long time ago."
Xu Miaojin said leisurely: "When my father was still alive, he often said that when a master plays chess, every move must have a follow-up."
"Forcing you to write poems is just a clear move. Taking advantage of the chaos to steal your True Dragon Jade Pendant is a hidden move."
"One is light and the other is dark. You win the light chess, but lose the dark chess."
Zhu Yunxuan was shocked.
This was indeed an oversight on his part and he did not think of it.
This is not a very clever strategy.
But anyone who is truly thoughtful knows that the more complex and sophisticated a conspiracy is, the higher the probability of something going wrong.
In many online novels or TV series in the past, there were wonderfully designed and shocking serial schemes that did not exist in reality.
Because if there is a slight mistake in any link, the entire strategy will be ruined.
As for the clever and complicated chain plan, the probability of making no mistakes at all is almost zero.
On the contrary, this trick of stealing the True Dragon Jade Pendant is simple, crude, direct and effective.
No matter what reason he lost such an important thing as the True Dragon Jade Pendant, it would definitely make Lao Zhu unhappy.
In fact, at this point, the other party's goal has been achieved.
"Did you steal it?" Zhu Yunzhen asked.
Xu Miaojin glanced at him suddenly, looking very aggrieved. She pursed her lips and said, "I was only used by my sister to force you to write poetry. I really never thought about stealing your jade pendant."
"I won't do such a thing, and I don't even bother to do such a thing."
"A gentleman has certain things to do and things not to do. I, Xu Miaojin, am not that kind of person."
Zhu Yunxuan looked at her.
It can be seen that the little girl is very serious.
Then where did her jade pendant come from?
Xu Miaojin said again: "If a wise man thinks a lot, he will lose something; if a fool thinks a lot, he will gain something."
"I think although you are very smart, you are busy writing poems and making flintlocks, and you may not think about everything carefully."
"If I can be used by others, of course others can too."
"I asked my sister and she said that Fang Xiaoru's appearance in Jixian Tower was not expected. It didn't seem like she was lying to me."
"I infer from this that besides King Yan, there is another person who is targeting you."
"Although my brother-in-law is not a good person, he probably doesn't bother to resort to stealing."
"But others may not."
"The fact that Fang Xiaoru came to Jixian Tower means that no matter whether I show up that day or not, someone will force you to come out and write poems."
"I just happened to be in front of them at the right time, so they saved a lot of trouble."
"If I don't show up, someone else will find you out."
"If there is an open move, there must be a hidden move."
"I heard that His Majesty once gave you the True Dragon Jade Pendant, but I didn't see you wearing it with you, so I guessed that it might have been stolen."
"So, last night, while you were drinking, I went to Jixian Tower overnight."
I'm sorry that I didn't see her when I was drinking last night.
Zhu Yunzhen thought she didn't participate because she was angry.
Unexpectedly, I returned to the city overnight?
"This thing is of great importance, and the person who stole it would not dare to give it to someone else easily and give it to the person behind the scenes."
"I went to deliver it in person but I was afraid of exposing my identity and arousing suspicion, so I kept it hidden on my body and did not deliver it."
