On the White Jade Plaza.
One by one, armored scarecrows were placed several hundred feet away.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, can the Great Tang's spear pierce through armor at this distance?”
Li Shi Min shook his head.
At such a distance, not to mention piercing through the armor, even the aftershock could not affect it.
It was even more impossible for it to cause any damage.
After receiving the Emperor's response, Mo Wu immediately raised his musket and aimed it at the scarecrow.
For a moment, everyone held their breath and stared at Mo Wu with all their attention.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The thunderous sound instantly startled everyone, and then white smoke came out of the musket's mouth.
Immediately, the soldiers hurriedly took the scarecrows that were placed everywhere.
When everyone saw the armor on the scarecrow being pierced through and exploded, their expressions changed.
"There's actually such a terrifying divine weapon in the world!!!”
"If the Great Tang army were equipped with such weapons, wouldn't they be invincible?”
Li Shi Min exclaimed.
"Mr. Mo, what is this second divine weapon?”
Mo Wu placed the flintlock aside and took out a wooden sculpture.
"This…"
In an instant, everyone was stunned on the spot. No one understood what Mo Wu meant.
"Mister, are you joking? What kind of damage could a mere ship-shaped sculpture have?”Li Shi Min asked in confusion.
At this moment, Mo Wu took off his bamboo hat and said in a disappointed tone,""Your Majesty is right. A mere ship sculpture indeed cannot have any direct lethality.”
"But I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers the contents of the painting just now.”
Li Shi Min listened and tried to recall.
At this moment, Du Ruhui stepped forward.""Your Majesty, this is a warship different from the one in the modern world.”
"In the painting, this warship is completely made of iron armor.”
"Not bad!"
" This…How is this possible!?"
The fact that iron could float in water had long surpassed common sense.
Even the children knew that iron could not float on water.
If such a large ship went into the sea, it would instantly sink into the sea.
Although Li Shi Min didn't believe it, he couldn't help but ask,"Mr. Mo, is what you said true?”
" Yes." Mo Wu nodded slightly and recalled," Back then, I had the same performance as His Majesty."”
"And this is the test Senior gave me.”
"Iron, can it float to the surface?"
Li Shi Min's breathing became faster and faster as he asked,"Then, has Sir done it now?”
"I guess so!" Mo Wu smiled bitterly.”
"In these days, I studied every day. I was barely able to polish the iron sheet and embed it on the wooden sailboat.”
"In this way, not only can it resist the corrosion of the seawater, but its defensive power will also be greatly enhanced.”
" But if we want to really make such a big ship enter the sea…"
Mo Wu wanted to say something but hesitated. Clearly, he could not really do it.
However, one thing was certain: everything in the illustrated handbook was true.
"Sir, I have a presumptuous request that I hope you can agree to.”
Mo Wu's gaze fell on the Emperor's face.
Although Li Shi Min didn't say anything, he could already guess what he was going to say next.
"Your Majesty, please speak frankly."
"We hope that you can stay in the Imperial Court and serve the Great Tang.”
Li Shi Min said earnestly, waiting for the other party's reply.
About half.
"Your Majesty," Mo Wu said slowly,"I've already said before I came to the court that I want to make a name for myself through Your Majesty.”
Li Shiming immediately understood Mo Wu's words and said excitedly,""Alright, alright!"
"I thank you on behalf of the people of the world.”
……
Dew Palace.
Li Shi Min held the painting that Mo Wu had handed over with great interest.
After all, this could very well be the future of the Great Tang.
As for whether or not he could obtain the assistance of this senior, Li Shi Min didn't dare to hope for it.
With just a little guidance from this senior, the Great Tang could easily continue for thousands of years.
Just as Li Shiming was thinking about this, a eunuch hurried forward and respectfully said,""Your Majesty, Lord Right Pushe requests an audience outside.”
Li Shi Min gradually calmed down and said,""Xuan."
Not long after the eunuchs left, Du Ruhui quickly walked forward and bowed respectfully."Your humble subject greets Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Why did you suddenly come to see me?”
Du Ruhui hesitated for a while before saying,""Your Majesty, I request Your Majesty to grant me permission to leave Chang 'an and head to War Ghost City to take a look.”
" Huh?!"
Li Shi Min exclaimed as he paced back and forth in the hall.
"Keming, you just came back from Youzhou Province! Rest!"
Du Ruhui shook his head firmly. His face was already pale, but he was still determined to go to the place his master had been to!
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on until the moment he saw his master!
However, Du Ruhui couldn't explain everything to Li Shimin!
Because he had promised his master that he would keep his master's name and not mention it to anyone!
"Why does my dear minister suddenly have such a request?”
"Your Majesty, War Ghost City is a relic left behind by this senior.”
"But I can't guarantee that there won't be other opportunities here!”
"Even if I return empty-handed, a senior like him is worthy of my worship.”
Li Shi Min nodded thoughtfully and said,""My dear minister, what you said makes sense."
"It's just that War Ghost City is located in the plains, so it's inevitable that it'll be dangerous for you to go there.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have my own plans.”
Li Shiming looked at Du Ruhui, who had a determined expression, and stopped stopping him. He said,"Since beloved minister insists, zhen will send you to take a look on zhen's behalf.”
"Zhen will assign you a thousand guards to escort you.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Du Ruhui resolutely turned around and left. Even if his life might be in danger this time, he was willing to die!
