The counselor and Guard Li were surprised to see Chu San hand the lethal weapon to the prince so easily.
You know, with the lethality they just saw, it would be easy for Chu San to kill the prince, and even the secret guards would not have time to hide.
Of course, now that the pistol is in the prince's hands, he can easily take Chu San's life.
Regardless of their surprise.
The prince had already taken the gun, aimed at a target and shot.
He subconsciously stepped back.
The counselor and Guard Li became nervous instantly.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
"It's okay." The prince was a little surprised. He waved his hand to comfort the two of them, and then asked Guard Li to get back the pheasant he had shot.
Sure enough, a bloody hole had already appeared on the pheasant's body, and it was killed with one blow. He had just made a random attack and had never expected that the damage would be so great.
"Chu Chengshan, this weapon is so outstanding, what do you think?" Although the prince liked guns, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and returned it to him.
Chu San took it and said, "Originally, this was developed by my wife for self-defense. I didn't expect it to be so effective. However, this thing is not particularly perfect and needs to be modified. However, it is currently suitable for self-defense. How many do you need, Your Highness?"
"You just gave it to me directly?" The prince was a little surprised.
I originally thought that Chu San and Zhou Jiaojiao would make some requests.
Chu San said casually, "There are always weapons more powerful than this, but they haven't been developed yet. Your Highness, there's no need to be so surprised. Besides, we are in the same boat, so it's only natural for us to cooperate with each other. As long as Your Highness can see that my wife and I have protected you and allow my family to live safely until old age, that's all that's enough."
"Is this all you ask for? Don't you think it's too low?" The counselor was a little surprised.
Chu San chuckled, "Why do we need so many rights? As for money, we can earn it ourselves. Without life, everything else is meaningless."
"You are really surprising." The strategist sighed.
Chu San just smiled and said, "Everyone's pursuit is different."
"That's right." The counselor was relieved.
The prince took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to him, "I promise you, as long as I am alive, your family can use this jade pendant to avoid the death penalty."
"Your Highness, don't worry. As long as I am alive, my family will not break the law or cause trouble for themselves." Chu San took the jade pendant easily. He took a casual look at it and felt that it looked familiar. After looking at it for a few more times and still couldn't see what was familiar about it, he didn't care and put it away.
After this day.
Chu San then made more than a dozen pistols according to the original drawings, with more bullets, and gave them to the prince who needed to protect himself. Zhou Jiaojiao also had one, as did Chu's mother, Chu's father, and the others, as well as Chu's eldest and second brothers, and Chu's eldest and second sisters-in-law.
The heavy rain finally stopped after three consecutive days.
Chu San walked into the cave and put all the luggage except the horses into the space. In an instant, the team felt much more relaxed.
A group of people walked down the muddy hillside.
Zhou Jiaojiao's physical strength is much better now than before. She refused Chu San's support. Unexpectedly, she walked down the mountain without even breathing hard.
Chu San was a little surprised.
However, before he could ask anything, everyone in the team looked at the surging flood in front of them in silence.
"The flood is coming."
"It's over. Many houses have been washed away."
“There are still livestock in the river.”
No one mentioned the bodies in the river, mainly because they looked too scary. Besides, in just a short while, Guard Li had already taken people to check, and all the people were dead.
"Let's go down the mountain."
"No need to walk, let's take a boat." Zhou Jiaojiao casually took out a boat from the space.
Chu San was not surprised at all. He pulled a rope and shouted to the others nearby, "Guard Li, quickly put the rope on the tree and secure it so we can climb up."
"Someone come, help us." Guard Li and others didn't care about being surprised.
At this moment, I just feel lucky. I am lucky to be on the mission with Chu San and Zhou Jiaojiao. Otherwise, it would not be so easy. I am afraid that I will be blocked on the mountain and run out of ammunition and food. In short, I will suffer a lot.
"Mr. Zhou, Mother, let's go up first." Zhou Jiaojiao told Chu's mother and the prince, and she was the first to go over and climb up the ladder.
"Mom, come up, I'll pull you up." After Zhou Jiaojiao went up, she stood at the edge of the deck and said with her hand stretched out.
Father Chu walked over first and said, "I'll do it. Be careful."
Soon, Old Man Chu was pulled up, followed by Mother Chu, Sister-in-law Chu, and Sister-in-law Chu, and then the children in the family. With more people up there, it was easier to pull them up.
"Your Highness, let's go up too," said the counselor.
The prince nodded and went up first. After he went up, the counselor followed closely behind him.
"Third brother's wife, you guys go and rest first, we'll come and get some people." said the second brother Chu.
The rest are just guards and soldiers, so we have to avoid suspicion.
Zhou Jiaojiao nodded, but she did not go to the cabin. Instead, she handed Baoer to Chu's mother and asked her to go to the cabin to clean up and choose a house to live in.
Mother Chu carried Bao'er and went downstairs.
Zhou Jiaojiao was watching the flood from the side, frowning.
"What is Miss Zhou thinking about?" Unexpectedly, the prince did not enter the cabin. Instead, he walked to Zhou Jiaojiao and took the initiative to talk to her.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
"I was wondering how big an impact this flood would have. If many people were affected, I wonder how many people would be washed away by the flood." Zhou Jiaojiao spoke the truth.
"How did Miss Zhou know there would be a flood?" The prince was curious about this question. After all, if she hadn't known about it earlier, how could she have known about it in advance?
Prepare the vessel.
"I don't know if there will be floods, but if there's drought in the south, it's normal for the north to experience floods. Natural disasters often come together. This is a natural phenomenon. After all, the weather balance has been disrupted."
"This is the first time I've heard of such a statement. Isn't it because the emperor is unkind that God has sent down punishment?"
Zhou Jiaojiao shook her head. "No, whether the emperor is benevolent or not, that's a man-made disaster. If the emperor is unkind, naturally people will rise up. This has always been the case throughout history."
"As for the current flood, it's a natural disaster, so why do some people say they depend on the weather for their livelihood? However, if our capabilities reach a certain level, we can also artificially control rainfall and wind speed. However, that will take a long time to develop. At least for now, we don't even know how natural disasters are formed, so how can we talk about controlling and eliminating them?" Zhou Jiaojiao said casually. "Now that the natural disaster has occurred, we can only save as many people as possible. I just hope that those who warned Lord Mo before have passed on the news so that the people can be warned in advance."
