The next day, early in the morning.

Heiwa drove a carriage and took Zhao Yan to a canyon outside Changdan City.

Yang Xinghuai, Yang Hong and Shen Tuyi followed closely behind with a thousand imperial soldiers.

These three people only knew that Zhao Yan asked him to see the weapons that were enough to defeat the Northern Mongolian cavalry, but they knew nothing about what it was.

More than an hour later, everyone finally arrived at the canyon.

Qiu Tong and his son Qiu Mu were already waiting in the canyon.

Zhao Yan fell in love with Qiu Mu at first sight. The child was fat and chubby, with his two small eyes rolling around, and he was not afraid of him at all.

Obviously a child who can cause trouble.

Qiu Tong pulled Qiu Mu and then began to kneel down and salute.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Xiao Qiu Mu also said in a long voice.

"Everyone get up!" Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Qiu Mu and asked with a smile: "Qiu Mu, tell me, what is your dream in this life?"

Xiao Qiu Mu thought for a while and replied: "I want to... want to open a firecracker shop, but... my mother doesn't let him, and he said I should go to the top scorer!"

"Haha... Then you listened to your mother very much?" Zhao Yan asked again.

"I... dare not ignore it, even my father listens to my mother!"

Qiu Tong, who was beside him, quickly covered Qiu Mu's mouth, fearing that he would expose more private matters in his home.

When Zhao Yan and others were happy when they heard this.

Who would have thought that Qiu Tong, the former member of the Ministry of Personnel, who has always been known for his strictness, was actually a man who was afraid of his wife.

Zhao Yan looked at the carriage behind him and changed the topic and said, "Have you got all the guys?"

Xiao Qiu Mu nodded excitedly.

Since last night, his father said that he could light powder in front of the emperor, he was so happy that he didn't fall asleep until late at night.

Zhao Yan turned his head and said to Shen Tuyi: "Shen Tuyi, let the imperial guards search this canyon quickly to ensure that there is no outsider. After the search is completed, all soldiers will exit the canyon and encircle the canyon with their backs facing the canyon. Without my orders, no one is allowed to approach!"

"I obey the order!" Shen Tuyi replied.

Yang Xinghuai and Yang Hong on the side were surprised when they heard this order, thinking in their hearts what weapon they were that could make His Majesty pay so much attention to it.

Soon, the canyon was searched. Not to mention humans, even small animals were driven away.

In the canyon, only Zhao Yan, Yang Xinghuai, Yang Hong, Shen Tuyi, Heiwa, Qiu Tong and his son were left.

After a moment, Qiu Tong and Qiu Mu moved a box from the carriage and opened it carefully.

In the box, on top of a pile of soft grass and linen, there were two iron shells about the size of watermelon. The iron shells were very thin and irregularly oval, and a long cannon twist stretched out from it.

Qiu Mu picked up one of the iron shells like a treasure and said, "Your Majesty, this iron shell is called the sky thunder. It is filled with gunpowder. After it is detonated, everything within five meters of the surrounding area can be destroyed."

Qiu Tong quickly held the sky-surge thunder beside him, fearing that Qiu Mu would accidentally throw him to the ground and detonate him.

He added: "If this object explodes in a downtown street, it will kill at least three or five people, and eight or nine people around will be injured and fall to the ground."

Hearing this, Yang Xinghuai, Yang Hong, and Shen Tuyi were all a little surprised and even a little disbelief.

How could such a small thing have such great power?

Zhao Yan looked at the sky thunder. Although it was different from the fire thunder he imagined, it was already close to its prototype. With a slight transformation, it was definitely a weapon on the battlefield.

"Come on, Xiao Qiu Mu, you blow one up first and let me see the power!" Zhao Yan said expectantly.

"Okay!" Qiu Mu picked up the thunder and ran away, while Qiu Tong quickly chased after him.

Qiu Mu's courage once made Qiu Tong wonder if this was his own son.

Fortunately, my son is not stupid and bold. When making gunpowder, his little head is quite flexible and never has any accidents.

The father and son walked nearly a hundred meters before stopping.

Qiu Mu stuffed the sky thunder into a crack in a rock, and then pressed it with some gravel.

Qiu Tong asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why are you pressing these stones?"

"It looks good if it explodes like this!" Qiu Mu said with a smile.

Immediately, Qiu Mu pulled out the cannon twist that was about half a meter long, then took out the fire lead, and quickly ignited the cannon twist.

"Run!"

The father and son held hands and ran towards Zhao Yan and the other two.

Just after the two ran for fifty meters, they heard a "boom".

A sound like thunder came, and stones flew around the explosion and dust splashed everywhere.

The ground in the entire canyon trembled a little.

Zhao Yan and others stood on the big rock. Looking from a distance, a large pit appeared at the explosion, revealing yellow land.

The scene was quite shocking!

Zhao Yan stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Everyone, if we prepare thousands of sky-surge thunders when we fight with Northern Mongolia, how likely do you think our army will win?"

Hearing this, Yang Xinghuai, Yang Hong and Shen Tuyi were both stunned.

This is the first time they have seen such a huge weapon.

Even Shen Tuyi, who was known as the number one master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, felt deeply afraid in his heart.

He always believed that he could also take the head of the general among the three thousand soldiers, but if he faced a few thunders, he could only run away with his head in his arms.

Thunder soared into the sky changed his perception of war and force.

Yang Xinghuai looked ecstatic. If the Great Zhou possessed this thing, not to mention that there were 100,000 cavalry in Northern Mongolia, even if several surrounding countries invaded each other, the Great Zhou would not be afraid at all.

This kind of item was simply created specifically for war.

At this moment, Shen Tuyi, who was standing beside him, suddenly bowed: "Your Majesty, I see that Qiu Mu is a kid with great roots and are willing to accept him as his adopted son. I beg your Majesty to give him a favor."

Qiu Mu was chubby and fat, so how could he see any bone? Shen Tuyi obviously fell in love with Qiu Mu's ability to create thunder.

Hearing this, Yang Hong on the side couldn't help but say proudly: "Commander Shentu, you said it was too late. Your Majesty had already promised Xiao Qiu Mu to be his adopted son yesterday. You are too late!"

Shen Tuyi looked at Zhao Yan in confusion.

Zhao Yan nodded slightly and said, "I did say this, but Xiao Qiu Mu doesn't know this yet. He has the final say for whom he is the adoptive father!"

Qiu Tong had a bitter face. No matter how his son recognized him, no matter who he chose, he would offend another person.

Qiu Mu looked at the two of them and thought, "I...I think Uncle Shentu is very powerful in Changdan City, and Uncle Yang Hong is very powerful on the border. Can I choose two at the same time? In this way, no matter where I light the gunpowder, no one dares to offend me!"

Qiu Tong said with a uglier smile than crying: "Children are talking nonsense, and children are talking nonsense, how can he be so lucky!"

Shen Tuyi thrust his chest and said, "I have no objection."

Yang Hong raised his chin and said, "I have no objection."

Then everyone looked at Zhao Yan at the same time.

Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said, "I have no objection!"

Qiu Tong was particularly excited and quickly pulled Qiu Mu's arm. Xiao Qiu Mu immediately understood and immediately knelt on the ground and whispered: "Qiu Mu meets the two adoptive fathers!"
Chapter completed!
