When Qi Junguang first came to Jingzhou last year, he genuinely wanted to marry Su Mochen. Besides thinking that Su Mochen's looks were worth his effort, the more important reason was that it would be a good opportunity to form a marriage alliance with Anguo.
However, Jing Zhe suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
At that time, Qi Junguang was certain that Jing Zhe was not skilled in martial arts, but he killed Qi Gulong, the number one warrior of Southern Qi, with a few daytime thunderbolts, which greatly shocked and inspired him.
If the Silver Thread Army were equipped with Daytime Thunderclap, what a sight it would be! If there were many Daytime Thunderclaps, what would they have to fear from martial artists?
Without hesitation, Qi Junguang returned to Southern Qi and established his "Daytime Thunder Production Team." However, he knew that he couldn't make the Daytime Thunder by working in isolation, as they simply didn't understand the underlying principles.
Therefore, Qi Junguang sent someone to infiltrate Anguo and come to Jing Zhe's side to monitor him.
Because Jing Zhe was very vigilant, Qi Junguang did not send just one person to monitor him, but rather a group of more than ten people who took turns monitoring him.
Moreover, their surveillance was quite interesting; they not only monitored Jing Zhe, but also Jing Zhe's henchmen, Hanhan, and everyone who entered or left Jing Zhe's residence.
After leaving Jing Zhe's side, they recorded everything they bought on the street. After keeping this record for three months, the group returned to Southern Qi.
The things recorded were all sorts of things, including rice, flour, oil, and tea, but these were eliminated first. Qi Junguang chose the things that ordinary people were least likely to use!
Saltpeter and sulfur.
However, although these two things could be ignited, they did not achieve the effect of "Daytime Thunder". Qi Junguang knew that something was missing, so their "Daytime Thunder" team took out all the previously discarded items and tested them one by one.
Finally, more than two months ago, the Southern Qi version of the Thunder of Daylight was produced. Because the Qi army had increased the quantity, he felt that its power was stronger than Jing Zhe's Thunder of Daylight.
The Thunderclap of Daylight has been created. If used on the battlefield, it would be an overwhelming force against other armies or lower-level martial artists. But what about against higher-level martial artists? It seems unlikely to work.
After all, it takes a certain amount of time for an ordinary person to ignite the Daytime Thunder and throw it, while a high-level martial artist can take advantage of this time to make a move. Moreover, an ordinary person can't throw the Daytime Thunder very quickly, which gives the martial artist more time to escape.
So the Thunderclap Working Group continued its research and development, and finally completed the Thunderclap Cannon half a month ago. Just then, the Prince of Jin came to discuss matters with Qi Junguang, so Qi Junguang brought the Thunderclap Cannon out.
...
After listening to Qi Junguang's explanation, the King of Jin suddenly understood, and at the same time felt a sense of relief.
At this moment, Qi Junguang said directly, "Prince Jin, you promised me before that you would give me a Transcendent Pill. Where is the Transcendent Pill?"
"Third Prince...we haven't captured Jing Zhe yet."
"hehe…"
Qi Junguang sneered and said, "I don't care if you've captured Jing Zhe or not, and I don't care how you capture him. All I want is the Immortal Transformation Pill! From now on, I will wait here for seven days! If I don't get the Immortal Transformation Pill within seven days, then I will have my Thunderclap Army raze Jingzhou City to the ground and then take Anguo!"
Seeing the King of Jin's furious expression, Qi Junguang remained unperturbed and continued, "If you bring me the Immortal Transformation Pill within seven days, then we can all live in peace, and I will lead the Thunderclap Army back to Southern Qi! And—"
At this point, Qi Junguang suddenly changed the subject: "Whether you become the emperor of Anguo or someone else becomes the emperor of Anguo, Anguo must become a vassal state of Southern Qi. I will not interfere in Anguo's politics, but Anguo must pay tribute to Southern Qi every year! Are you satisfied?"
"..."
The Prince of Jin's expression was uncertain, but he felt somewhat relieved after hearing what Qi Junguang said. After all, everyone has something to gain. Although Qi Junguang had asked him for the Immortal Transformation Pill, he had the Thunderclap Army at his disposal and was now at the gates of Jingzhou. Who would believe that he had no designs on Anguo?
Now, he makes Anguo a vassal state and then makes Anguo pay tribute every year, which makes sense to a normal person.
But... all these years, Prince Jin has longed to become the emperor of Anguo, but before he could even become emperor, Anguo was about to become a vassal state of Southern Qi, and he would have to obey others. He was unwilling to accept this!
Seemingly understanding his thoughts, Qi Junguang said coldly, "Are you thinking about how to keep me calm for now, and then secretly find an opportunity to kill me?"
"..."
These words hit the nail on the head. The Prince of Jin was indeed thinking about this. He was, after all, a grandmaster, while Qi Junguang did not know martial arts. The same was true for these Thunderclap Army soldiers. They dared to threaten him because they relied on the Thunderclap Cannons. If he sneaked in at night, killing them would be as easy as turning his hand!
At this moment, Qi Junguang laughed again and said, "To be honest, do you think I didn't think of these things?"
"..."
“Since I’ve come out, I’m not afraid of death! Besides, our Thunderclap Army always operates on a shift system. Like just now, we only sent out about a hundred people. Do you know how many people are left in the Thunderclap Army and why they didn’t come out?”
Afterwards, Qi Junguang said a lot more. It turned out that the Thunderclap Army had a number of not less than a thousand, and these Thunderclap Army soldiers were divided into nearly ten groups. They implemented a shift system, with each Thunderclap Army group resting most of the time and changing shifts every hour.
Therefore, even at night, there would be a Thunderclap Army on duty at each time slot, making it extremely difficult for the Prince of Jin to sneak over and kill someone.
Seeing the fear on the Prince of Jin's face, Qi Junguang added, making a definitive statement: "Even if you succeed in your sneak attack and kill us all, can you handle the Thunderclap Army left behind in Southern Qi? If we don't return within half a month, the Thunderclap Army left behind in Southern Qi will come to attack. At that time, they won't negotiate with you like I did. They will directly bombard Jingzhou and Ping'an with Thunderclap Cannons!"
"..."
This last sentence completely extinguished the King of Jin's desire for revenge. He was indeed capable of killing Qi Junguang, but he could hardly cope with the unknown number of Thunder Army soldiers!
So he could only nod and agree, "Okay, I promise, but could you give me a little more time? After all, I don't even know where Jing Zhe is right now, and seven days is just too short..."
"I said seven days, and I mean seven days!"
Qi Junguang didn't try to bargain with the King of Jin at all. Instead, he said with a gloomy face, "You injured Jing Zhe in Ruzhou, but didn't you let him go? Since you're so capable and magnanimous, then injure him again. Seven days is a long time for you!"
"..."
