In the following days, Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to let his son take charge of government affairs. He simply announced to the public that the prince had returned from "apprenticeship".
But this also made the court officials think a lot, secretly trying to figure out His Majesty's intentions and the influence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the political situation.
For a time, the situation in the court was changing and undercurrents were surging.
However, Ying Zhao, who was at the center of the vortex, was free and easy.
Sometimes I share interesting things about my travels with my family, sometimes I go to the martial arts field with my sister to practice martial arts, and sometimes I look at my brother's new research and inventions.
One day, Ying Luan whispered in his ear in a mysterious tone, encouraging him in an excited tone.
"Brother, I'll take you to some good places."
"Oh? What good place?"
"Oh, brother, you'll know when you go there. I promise you won't be disappointed."
Ying Zhao couldn't resist his sister's nagging, so he had to agree to her out of helplessness and curiosity.
Not long after, at a remote part of the palace wall.
"Luan'er, are you going to sneak out of the palace?"
"It's not me, it's us. And this isn't called sneaking, it's called an incognito visit."
Seeing her brother frowning, Ying Luan hugged his arm coquettishly and argued with a smile.
Ying Jue, who was forced to join the team, looked even more helpless.
"Why did you drag me into this?"
"Hehe, as a family, we should share both happiness and hardship! Then I won't be the only one to be punished."
“…”
Under Ying Luan's strong instigation, the two brothers finally climbed over the wall and sneaked out of the palace.
Their father learned the news immediately.
Ying Zheng pinched his brows, feeling troubled by these troublesome little brats, and gave orders to the Black Ice Guards with concern.
"Let those who protect in secret be vigilant at all times."
Xianyang City is as bustling as ever, but it is not the destination of the three little ones.
Their first stop was the Chiyou Military Research Base, which was the original military factory.
In the deserted suburbs, stands a majestic steel fortress. Its three-meter-high walls are like iron barrels for defense, and it is heavily guarded.
However, due to their noble status, no one dared to stop them.
Ying Luan, in particular, was already a frequent visitor. Everyone in Xianyang knew that the eldest princess of the empire was deeply favored by the emperor and empress, and was pampered to the utmost.
As soon as they entered the base, Ying Luan led the way very familiarly as if she had returned home.
When we arrived at the armory, the manager came up to us with a bitter face.
"Your Highness, Auntie, what brings you here?"
"Hehe, the people here speak nicely and the weapons are fun. This princess likes it here very much."
"Then Princess, please don't do it yourself like last time. If you injure your precious body, the lives of everyone in our base combined wouldn't be enough to pay for it!"
Hearing this, Ying Zhao and Ying Jue looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
It seems I have to keep a close eye on my younger sisters/elder sisters later.
Ying Luan blinked her eyes mischievously and comforted the steward in a playful manner.
"Don't worry, this time I'm just showing my brother and younger brother around."
The steward turned his gaze to the two young men with noble temperaments beside him, then he reacted and immediately saluted.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Young Master."
"Well, don't worry, I will take good care of my brother and sister-in-law."
Ying Zhao said lightly, and the prince's elegant and noble majesty was naturally revealed.
A moment later, the three of them strolled into the armory.
Ying Luan volunteered to act as a tour guide, chattering away as he introduced various weapons.
"This is the Houyi series sniper rifle. It can take down the enemy's head from a thousand meters away. How cool!"
"This is a machine gun from the Shenbing series. It can fire rapidly and continuously, pouring down bullets and firing at full power."
"There's also the newly developed Zhurong series of rocket launchers, which are even more terrifyingly powerful..."
The exquisite and cool-looking hot weapons are neatly displayed, including pistols, rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, sniper rifles...
There are various shapes and sizes, and the cold metal shells are flashing with a terrifying light.
Unlike the sharp cold light of cold weapons, the danger of hot weapons is hidden in the deep holes. Just pull the trigger lightly and the ammunition will destroy the target with huge lethality.
Ying Zhao carefully examined each firearm, his face revealing uncontrollable shock and amazement.
Unexpectedly, in just three years, military factories have developed so many types of weapons, each with its own characteristics and extraordinary power.
Ying Jue was not that shocked and remained calm and composed.
Due to his strong desire for research, he and his teacher had visited the base several times before, and even participated in the research and development of some weapons.
"Hey, brother, aren't these weapons powerful?"
Seeing his brother amazed, Ying Luan smiled triumphantly, then began his speech passionately.
"This is the power of knowledge and technology!"
"Only by mastering knowledge and technology can the Qin Dynasty's politics, military, and economy continue to advance, and its national strength continue to grow."
Although she aspires to become a great general, she is not a reckless person who only cares about martial arts. On the contrary, she is extremely intelligent and good at taking advantage of any favorable conditions.
Hot weapons have fierce firepower and terrifying power, completely crushing cold weapons. In the future, they will surely become the mainstream weapons and equipment of the Qin cavalry.
She had a plan in mind, so of course she had to familiarize herself with it in advance.
Ying Zhao listened to his sister's meaningful words and frowned in thought.
“Knowledge, technology…”
An hour later, the group arrived at their second stop - Fuxi Tiangong Technology Research Institute.
Compared to the solemnity and coldness of the military base, the atmosphere here is obviously quiet and peaceful, but it is also filled with a busy atmosphere.
