Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1511: Chapter 1512: What a pity...

The reason for comparing bullets to cores is also to help everyone understand.

And An Jing says this to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future because of this sniper rifle. Moreover, she does not want everyone to place all their hopes on this ’secret weapon’ in the future.

Qi Tengfei immediately asked, ”Can’t this core be made?”

Others had the same question as Qi Tengfei.

An Jing lied without changing her expression, ”I searched for some skilled craftsmen, but none of them know what material this core is made from, so naturally, it can’t be made. And that mysterious person who gave me this secret weapon cannot be found now.”

Qi Tengfei suddenly showed a look of regret, ”Such a good thing, it’s a pity that once the cores are used up, it can’t be used.”

Everyone also had a look of regret.

An Jing just smiled and said nothing. Just as she saw her husband heading toward them, she immediately went over with the sniper rifle, ”Husband, are you alright?”

”I’m fine.” When Xiao Changyi replied with these two words, his gaze scanned An Jing like a scanner, and seeing that she was unharmed, he was relieved.

As his wife walked toward him, Xiao Changyi no longer continued forward but instead walked to the side with An Jing to talk.

An Jing laughed softly in a volume only Xiao Changyi could hear, ”Last time, Chengyu wrote that when I return to the Capital, he’ll grant me the title of Great General. Now, after I’ve shot so many generals, I guess, when I return to the Capital, he might give me a marquis title.”

Xiao Changyi showed little expression on his face, but his cold eyes were full of indulgence toward An Jing, and he agreed, ”I think it could be possible.” He paused, ”Getting the title of Prince is even possible.”

”Historically, there’s been no Female Marquis or Princess. If Chengyu bestows a title upon me, it would be a pioneering move.” Suddenly, An Jing became serious, ”And today, we managed to capture the four gates so easily, thanks to those men in black.”

Xiao Changyi did not speak, but his cold eyes grew a bit colder.

Noticing the subtle change in her husband, An Jing sighed and switched topics, ”Husband, even though we have captured the four gates and entered the Imperial City, the Imperial Palace within the Imperial City has yet to be breached. In the Imperial Palace, there are still three hundred thousand soldiers, and that Jiang Feisheng has not dispatched any troops to reinforce the four gates, surely aiming to hold the Imperial Palace and protect the Emperor of Chilin at all costs.”

Now, the Imperial City, except for the Imperial Palace, is occupied by Xiyun. And now, the gates of Chilin’s Imperial Palace are tightly closed.

Before Xiao Changyi could speak, Meng Zhuqing strode over to report, ”Master, we have discovered a lot of provisions, divided into four locations, and in total, they exceed ours.”

The initial troop count at each gate was two hundred and fifty thousand, totaling one million. The person who the scout captured alive said that the provisions in the Imperial City could at most support for three months, with one hundred thousand troops having provisions for three months, and they have fifty thousand troops with provisions for half a year, so it’s normal that they have more.

Xiao Changyi immediately ordered, ”Distribute the provisions to the common people of the Imperial City.”

The Emperor of Chilin doesn’t care about the lives of the common people in the Imperial City. Previously imposing heavy taxes forcefully, and now confiscating all their food, he intends to let the soldiers guarding the Imperial City use these confiscated provisions to hold out for more days.

As for the common people, they were detained together to prevent them from going mad from hunger and causing unrest.

The moment Xiao Changyi entered the Imperial City, he had someone release the detained common folks upon discovering their situation.

”Yes!” Meng Zhuqing immediately took the order to carry out the task.

After the common people received provisions, they were moved to tears with gratitude toward Xiao Changyi and his group.
