Xiao Dinghan was a little embarrassed. He had originally been somewhat dissatisfied with Ruan Qichuan and was reluctant to acknowledge him as his son-in-law. Now he was asked...
"Grandpa, my dad is really amazing. He even trained with mercenary groups in other countries. My grandparents said he even won awards."
Ruanruan tugged at Xiao Dinghan's sleeve and said, "Don't be shy, my father will definitely tell you."
"Father-in-law, this gun needs to be loaded. Before loading, you need to find suitable bullets. The gun in your hand is a submachine gun. When using it..." Ruan Qichuan took out a row of suitable bullets from the box next to him, and then he opened the magazine on the gun and loaded the bullets into the magazine.
"Then pull the trigger again. Keep both hands steady when using it. This gun fires very quickly, and the recoil is stronger than that of ordinary guns."
"However, you are brave and good at fighting, so there should be no problem." Ruan Qichuan let go of his hand and let Xiao Dinghan try it himself.
Xiao Dinghan glanced at him sideways, adjusted his gun holding posture according to the way Ruan Qichuan had used the gun before, and then pulled the trigger.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Xiao Dinghan's face became serious. He held the recoil of the gun with both hands and fired a burst of shots at the target in front of him.
Almost every bullet hit every target accurately.
"Your Majesty, you shot ten bullets, leaving nine holes in the target."
"Your Highness is truly amazing. He is worthy of being our commander-in-chief. He was able to master the technique so quickly and achieve almost perfect accuracy!" The generals nearby praised him.
"Yeah, of course, my grandpa is the best!"
"He is a great general! Hehe." Ruanruan put her hands in her pockets and said proudly.
Ruan Qichuan cleared his throat and said softly, "Father-in-law, you are indeed worthy of being the number one general of the Gan Kingdom. You can even use such a powerful submachine gun with ease."
When Xiao Dinghan heard them say this, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly, pretending to be calm and said, "Alright, stop praising me. I have practiced martial arts for many years after all. It's just a small thing, so why should I bother with it?"
He secretly curled his lips. If there was an invisible tail behind him, it would definitely be raised high at this moment.
Of course, I have practiced martial arts for decades, killed countless enemies, and made many military achievements for Dagan.
He can lift a stone weighing hundreds of pounds with just one hand. How can you kids compare to him?
But this thing does have a lot of staying power.
Xiao Dinghan looked serious, and his hands hidden in his sleeves trembled.
The emperor came over and said with a smile, "Prince Xiao is truly still strong despite his age."
"Your Majesty, would you like to try it?" Xiao Dinghan handed the submachine gun in his hand to the emperor.
The emperor stared at it impatiently, then waved his hand and said, "Never mind. I won't use it. Such a powerful and rare weapon should be left to Prince Xiao and the soldiers on the battlefield."
This weapon has a strong recoil, and he is not very skilled in martial arts, so he only learned the basics. He was asked to use it in front of so many people.
Isn't that obviously embarrassing?
He is the king of a country.
Knowing that he couldn't use it, the old man Xiao Dinghan teased him again!
Forget it, this guy is just like that. I see he is old, so I won’t bother with him.
The emperor rolled his eyes coldly at Xiao Dinghan and coughed lightly. "You guys continue practicing. Ruan Qichuan, come with me. I have something to tell you."
He glanced at Xiao Dinghan out of the corner of his eye and had to admit that Xiao Dinghan was really lucky.
He is skilled in martial arts, has a powerful son-in-law from another world, and a granddaughter with superb medical skills.
What kind of incredible luck was this? Why would an old man like Xiao Dinghan be dissatisfied? If it were him, he would have been overjoyed.
Ruan Qichuan followed the emperor into the warehouse. The emperor anxiously asked, "Qichuan, how long will it take to train these types of guns?"
"Your Majesty, there's no need to rush. Once they get used to it for a day or two, you can send them on a mountain off-road vehicle to Qingzhou."
Ruan Qichuan took out a small wooden box from a pile of boxes. He opened the box and found several kinds of utility knives inside. The knives were of various styles, big, small, pointed, short, and even a folding military shovel.
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "That's good."
His eyes were fixed on the things in the box, and his eyes lit up. "These knives are really exquisite. There are no such exquisite knives in my country."
Ruan Qichuan handed him a small knife with an art-design design, "Your Majesty, take a look."
The emperor took the knife and looked at it carefully. The knife was sharp and evenly ground, and the tip of the knife reflected light like a mirror.
This knife is really suitable for carving small objects. It must be a good knife to have in hand!
He touched it lovingly and glanced at the other knives in the box.
Ruan Qichuan directly pushed the box to the emperor, "This is a gift that Ruanruan picked for Your Majesty."
"A gift for me?" The emperor was stunned.
"Well, Ruanruan picked it out herself."
Ruan Qichuan said, "She heard from Xiaogan that you like to carve small objects, so she chose these knives."
The emperor was indescribably moved. He never expected that after all his years, the person who understood him best was actually his goddaughter.
He touched the utility knife, his eyes slightly reddened. "Do you think that I, as the ruler of a country, playing with these things is against my ancestral teachings and unworthy of being a ruler?"
Whether it was the ministers in the court or the concubines around him, everyone advised him to stop playing with wood and jade carvings, and let him participate in politics and be a wise ruler.
There were even some civil officials from aristocratic families who accused him of being unfit to be emperor and was wasting his time on trivial matters!
The eunuchs and maids in the palace also tried to persuade him, thinking that he should not play with this thing.
Everyone said that he was the emperor and should not own things he liked, for fear that he would neglect state affairs or allow villains to take advantage of him.
Ruan Qichuan said, "No, human nature is inherently full of selfish desires. Your Majesty is also a mortal, so why can't you have your own preferences? As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, everything is acceptable."
"Furthermore, your Majesty's late father, the late Emperor, also loved horses and riding and shooting. Your Majesty's loves are just different from what the public imagines."
"It's not a big mistake. This country won't be destroyed just because Your Majesty loves wood and jade carvings."
"If Your Majesty were to follow the opinions of others and change them one by one, how long would it take? Wouldn't Your Majesty then become a puppet of others?"
Ruan Qichuan added, "Furthermore, the people of the world are currently in dire straits due to natural and man-made disasters. Instead of addressing the issues that truly require Your Majesty's attention, you are listening to the opinions of these ministers who are merely observing the world from a narrow perspective. This is the most terrifying thing."
When the emperor heard what he said, the haze that had been choking him for years suddenly cleared up and he saw the sunrise. "Qichuan, you are truly broad-minded. Your heart can accommodate a hundred rivers."
"After hearing what you said, I suddenly realized and no longer obsessed with it!" The emperor was delighted. Ruan Qichuan was so young, but he had such talent and intelligence.
As expected, he is from another world.
He never thought that he would meet someone who understood him so well in his lifetime. It was a great fortune for him!
