Chapter 169 A Remarkable Woman, the Progress of the Artillery
The Divine Martial King's Palace.
"Your Highness, our people have reported that after returning, Prince Wei went to his study and ordered that no one, regardless of who they are, may approach the study without his permission."
"After returning, the Prince of Ming secretly went to an abandoned courtyard in the palace, where the two of them stayed for more than half an hour before leaving."
"Because there are guards, our people dare not approach."
Liu Feng reported this to Qin Wu.
"It seems there really is something wrong with those two. Keep an eye on them."
Qin Wu sneered.
These two are probably intimidated by him; it remains to be seen what they will choose.
The question is whether to try to save the person or remain silent and wait for his next move.
"Yes."
Liu Feng accepted the order and immediately withdrew.
After spending a few days at the Prince's manor and enjoying time with Jiang Pingle and the other women, Qin Wu returned to his Shenfeng Manor to continue his seclusion.
This time, the girls also pestered Qin Wu and followed him to Shenfeng Manor.
The entire capital city fell into calm once again.
A month later, Liu Feng reported on the recent situation of King Wei and King Ming once again.
Qin Wu just smiled, ordered them to keep an eye on them, and then ignored them. The two had become unusually well-behaved recently, not revealing any flaws, so others probably wouldn't suspect them anymore.
But Qin Wu was different; such actions would only deepen Qin Wu's suspicions about them.
In Qin Wu's view, the more this was the case, the more guilty they were.
After that, Liufeng would only come to report once a month, except for important matters.
Qin Wu and the Divine Martial King's Mansion gradually faded from everyone's sight.
Meanwhile, the entire Eastern Qin entered a period of rapid development. With the territories of Southern Qi and Northern Barbarians, the Eastern Qin emperor gradually made use of these territories and made the most reasonable arrangements.
However, this period was not without its obstacles, but the Emperor of Eastern Qin suppressed them all with iron-fisted methods.
This move completely silenced all dissenting voices.
The Eastern Qin Dynasty was developing rapidly, while the Western Zhou Dynasty was becoming increasingly chaotic.
After discovering that the Eastern Qin had no intention of sending troops again, the various forces of the Western Zhou Dynasty intensified their struggles, reaching a point of irreconcilable conflict.
Of course, there were also people deliberately influencing this.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two years, Qin Wu has hardly left Shenfeng Manor.
"Your Majesty."
On this day, Liu Feng quickly arrived at the mountaintop.
"What's the matter?"
Qin Wu spoke calmly.
"Your Highness, we have been monitoring the Wei Prince's residence and the Ming Prince's residence for the past two years. We finally discovered not long ago that the two of them had been feigning illness and secretly left the capital, heading towards the western coast."
Liu Feng reported this to Qin Wu.
In the past two years, the two of them have been like monks, rarely appearing in front of anyone.
Apart from his daily official duties, he would return directly to the Prince's Palace and not interact with anyone else.
They managed to find no way to get any evidence against them.
The two finally took action recently.
He immediately came to report to Qin Wu.
"Oh? You finally couldn't hold back anymore? Or is something big about to happen?"
Qin Wu slowly stood up.
At the same time, he was also thinking about what the two of them were going to do.
"They are all sick. Hasn't the palace sent any imperial physicians to examine them?"
Qin Wu inquired.
"I went there, and the imperial physician said I needed to rest."
The explanation of "流风" (liúfēng).
"Go and secretly spread the news that they were feigning illness and leaving, so that King Zhou and the others know."
"We'll find a way to get King Zhou and the others to ask us to arrange for someone from the Imperial Hospital to give them a proper treatment."
Qin Wu sneered. How could he possibly leave so easily?
It's time to give them something to do so that they might expose more weaknesses.
"Yes, we only know their approximate location right now. Do we need to send someone to confirm their exact location?"
Liu Feng consulted Qin Wu.
"Send Liuyun and Liuyu to find them and find a way to tell my brothers the whereabouts of their whereabouts. Eastern Qin has been peaceful for two years, it's time to stir things up."
Qin Wu directly ordered his two secret guard leaders to take action.
Based on his investigation over the past two years and the clues he has gathered, he deduced that Japan may very well have produced a Grandmaster-level expert.
He was worried that if someone else went, they might not be able to handle it, especially if that Grandmaster-level expert was also present.
It's safer to have Liuyun and Liuyu act together.
Even if something unexpected happens, the two of them working together will be fine.
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
Liu Feng accepted the order and prepared to leave.
"What's the rush? How's the warship construction progressing?"
Qin Wu was speechless as he watched Liu Feng about to leave.
"Two types have been built, and we are currently testing whether they can sail long distances. We have recently begun to study the idea of building warships out of steel proposed by the prince. However, the research on steel warships is somewhat slow. Several small ones have been built and launched, but they have all sunk."
"Now, some people below are starting to doubt whether steel can be used to build ships."
Liu Feng was also helpless.
Wooden ships are relatively easy to float, as wood naturally has buoyancy. However, it is extremely difficult for steel ships to float on water due to their weight.
No one has ever tried this before, so we can only explore it slowly.
"No rush, take your time. But I can assure you that steel can definitely float on water."
Qin Wu was not in a hurry.
He has plenty of time to wait. There's nothing he can do. In his previous life, before the apocalypse, he was just an ordinary person. Although he was quite strong after the apocalypse, he had never done scientific research, so it wouldn't be of any help to him now.
Especially in the decades of the apocalypse, firearms had long lost their effectiveness, and individual strength and cold weapons were the mainstays, so he was even less likely to study those firearms.
This has led to the fact that the things he now gives orders can only be studied slowly, and he can only provide a general direction.
"Yes, I will continue to have people search for talent and continue research. However, there has been progress in artillery recently. With the help of a remarkable woman, the artillery has now entered the experimental stage, and I expect to have results soon."
Liu Feng said to Qin Wu.
They spent countless sums of money researching artillery.
Now there is finally good news. He was originally going to report this to Qin Wu, but he almost forgot about it just now.
"Oh? There is such an extraordinary woman? Send someone to investigate. If there are no problems, bring her to see me. I also want to see what kind of extraordinary woman has such abilities."
Qin Wu became interested.
You should know that no one in this world understands these things yet, not even gunpowder.
It can be said that the world was completely blank in terms of firearms.
If a woman knows these things, then she is no ordinary person.
He wanted to see what kind of extraordinary woman she was.
"Yes, I will send someone to investigate and report back to Your Highness once the results are available."
Liu Feng said.
He knew that the prince was most fond of these extraordinary people, and this woman had probably piqued the prince's interest.
"Yes, go! Hurry up, this person might be the talent I'm looking for."
"I hope she can bring me enough surprises."
Qin Wu said with great interest.
If this woman is truly as he imagines, then she might just help him further advance his power.
It will play a decisive role in changing the world.
After bowing, Liu Feng withdrew.
"Interesting. Don't disappoint me!"
Qin Wu looked into the distance, muttered something incomprehensible to himself, and then sat down cross-legged again to begin cultivating.
