But when he turned around, he saw that Chen Zhennan's expression was serious, and he was clearly not satisfied with the result.

"Brother Chen, this rifle's power and range are already so amazing, why are you still not satisfied?" Song Yunming couldn't help but ask.

Chen Zhennan sighed, a hint of longing in his eyes: "Yunming, you don't understand. This is still far from the technology I know. What I want are more accurate and longer-range weapons, so that we can gain a greater advantage on the battlefield."

The technology Chen Zhennan spoke of is something only he himself knows in this world; it represents an immense level of military power that it's impossible to imagine how many years it would take for this era to develop to achieve.

Although the bullet flew two hundred meters before hitting the target, Chen Zhennan knew that it had lost a significant amount of momentum by the time it struck the target, and the impact point was already too low.

Just as Chen Zhennan was testing the second rifle, a scout suddenly rushed over, breaking the silence of the night.

"General, we've captured a royal eunuch!"

Chen Zhennan raised an eyebrow slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. He waved his hand, signaling his men to bring the eunuch over.

The eunuch was roughly shoved and stumbled to Chen Zhennan, trembling with fear.

"Where's the imperial edict? Let me see it."

The eunuch trembled as he pulled a roll of yellow silk from his robes. Chen Zhennan took it, unfolded it, and saw that it was an imperial edict from Wu Yunyin to Song Xuan.

"Send troops back to encircle Zhou Xiang?"

Chen Zhennan pondered for a while. Song Xuan had said he wanted Wu Yunyin dead. Rather than withholding the imperial decree, he might as well watch them fight like dogs.

"Let him go."

Chen Zhennan handed the imperial edict back to the eunuch and said with a slight smile, "You, go and deliver this imperial edict to Song Xuan. Just tell him the truth, understand?"

"I understand, I understand, I understand!"

The eunuch accepted the imperial edict, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes, then turned and hurriedly left, disappearing into the woods.
