Ban Si looked at Lin Qi deeply and said, "Okay."

He said only this one word, then walked to the cannon, picked up the cannonballs beside it and loaded them into it.

Lin Qi didn't say anything, but stood as close to Ban Si as possible to ensure that he could catch him as soon as possible.

The preparations were thorough, but no accident happened.

The shells shot up into the sky and flew out.

A few breaths later, explosions were heard in the distance, smoke rose, and the earth shook.

Originally, you could see very far at a glance, but now the view is blocked by smoke and dust.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, which was a bit pungent, but no one cared.

Class 4 jumped three feet high with excitement, "Success! Success! Success!"

Lin Qi also smiled like a child.

Not far away, a group of people were cheering excitedly.

Li Junyan's eyes were filled with smiles as he looked at Ashina Nuji beside him and asked, "Prince, would you like to go with me to the front to take a look?"

Ashina Nuji's face turned pale and blue. He swallowed hard and pretended to be calm before saying, "Of course I want to see it."

The two mounted their horses again and galloped away. After a cup of tea, they finally arrived at the destination.

By this time the smoke had almost dissipated and the surrounding situation could be seen clearly.

There was now a big hole on the originally flat ground.

Some of the thorn bushes around the pit were burned to ashes, while others were still burning.

You don't even have to experience it yourself, just look at the scene in front of you and you'll know how powerful this cannon is.

If you have such a cannon in a war, it would be like having help from heaven, and it would be difficult to lose.

The more Ashina Nuji watched, the more excited he became, and his ambition was about to burst out of his eyes.

"Prince Chen, I have something else to do. I'll be back to Turkic now. See you later!"

After Ashina Nuji said this, he whipped the horse's butt hard with the whip.

The horse felt pain, neighed, and ran forward wildly.

Seeing this, other Turks followed suit.

A group of horses galloped away, raising a cloud of dust.

Lin Qi moved to Li Junyan's side, a worried look on his face. "Your Highness, if he really lets him build the Goddess Temple, will the Goddess help him?"

"Won't."

Li Junyan answered very straightforwardly without any hesitation.

This answer was like a shot of adrenaline to everyone present, making their hearts settle back into their stomachs.

Ban Si stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this cannon looks powerful enough, but it's far from the effect the goddess described. There's still a lot of room for improvement."

Li Junyan looked at Ban Si with admiration, "You can think and say this, you must have thought about how to change it.

This is where you're most skilled, so I'll leave it to you. Just let me know if you need anything."

"Yes." Ban Si's eyes lit up surprisingly. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely not let you down."

Sang Jueqian looked at the scene in front of him and admired Ban Si very much.

The conditions in the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be compared with those in modern times. Although there were blueprints, it was already very impressive that Ban Si was able to build the cannon in such a short time.

Not only is he not proud, he is also very humble, self-critical and self-motivated, which is something that not everyone can do.

With people like Ban Si around, it's only a matter of time before more sophisticated weapons are made.

After Li Junyan returned to the tent, Sang Jueqian contacted him using the walkie-talkie.

"Lezhi, tell Ban Si that if there's anything you don't know or don't understand, just tell me.

Although I don’t understand it either, I can help look up some information and ask Lao Jin to explain it to me.”

Li Junyan lowered his eyebrows and smiled faintly, "When I tell Ban Si what Qianqian said, he will definitely be so excited that he won't be able to sleep for days and nights."

Thinking of Ban Si's fanatical look before, Sang Jueqian felt that what Li Junyan said was very possible.

Some people, when they are passionate about something, will indeed work day and night.

Although Sang Jueqian himself would not do that, he could understand and respect it.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Li Junyan's expression become serious.

"Qianqian, Thunder Beast has already brought his men back to the capital. It won't be long before he takes them south to build the dike and the Goddess Temple."

Hearing Li Junyan's words, Sang Jueqian just looked at him with some confusion and didn't say anything.

The main reason was that Sang Jueqian didn’t understand why Li Junyan suddenly brought up this matter.

Without Sang Jueqian asking, Li Junyan explained it himself.

"There's a goddess temple built in Leishou, and Turkic will soon build one as well. Together with the goddess temples in Xizhou and Tingzhou, there will be four goddess temples in total.

Will the increase in the number of goddess temples allow you to... fit through them?"

I don’t know if it was because of nervousness or excitement, but Li Junyan’s voice was much softer when he said the last few words.

The moment Sang Jueqian heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

The whole person passed through?

Isn't that equivalent to online dating?

wrong!

That's not the case.

She and Li Junyan are not in a relationship yet, at most they can only be considered as online friends meeting each other!

Even so, Sang Jueqian couldn't stop being excited, and his heart beat faster and faster.

Li Junyan couldn't see Sang Jueqian. He waited for a long time but didn't hear any response from Sang Jueqian. He couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Qianqian? Why aren't you talking? What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine!" Sang Jueqian said quickly, "I'm fine... I was just thinking about what you just said. If it really comes true, it would be amazing."

Even though he had experienced many magical things, Sang Jueqian still couldn't even imagine traveling to another time and space.

Feeling his heartbeat quickening, Sang Jueqian felt that he couldn't go on like this.

She needed to think of something else to take a break.

"Lezhi, is there enough food in Xizhou? I just delivered food to Tingzhou yesterday, so they can still hold out for a few days."

When Li Junyan heard Sang Jueqian mention the issue of rations, his expression became heavy.

Before the grain harvest in Tingzhou and Xizhou, they will have to rely on Sang Jueqian to buy grain.

But this is not a long-term solution after all.

The corn in Tingzhou was not affected by the earthquake and is still growing well.

But it's a bit late to plant corn in Xizhou.

"Qianqian, does Longguo have any crops that mature faster?"

Sang Jueqian thought for a moment and said, "Then it must be potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Potatoes and sweet potatoes have a short maturity cycle, high yield per mu, and can also be used as staple food.

It’s just that in modern society, people have so much food that they can’t finish it all, and basically don’t eat potatoes and sweet potatoes as staple foods.

But for Xizhou and Tingzhou, these two crops are very suitable.

“The maturity cycle of potatoes and sweet potatoes is about two months.

If you plant it now, you should be able to harvest twice before winter comes, if all goes well.

By then, the corn will have been harvested. With these three grains, plus all the poultry and eggs, the people will have a prosperous year.
