"I've already thought about it. From now on, you can be called Thunderbolt, and I'll change my name to Shadowless Hand, or Lancet... But the name Lancet has some restrictions, so I have to change all my flying knives to Lancet Flying Knives..."

Listening to Ye Zixun's excited words, Ning Yi felt confused and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He had thought that Zuo Yu and the other two were time travelers like him, but he never imagined that these three time travelers could actually take out this thing!

Looking at the platinum-colored pistol in his hand, Ning Yi suppressed the shock and absurdity in his heart, quickly pulled out the magazine, glanced at the magazine full of brass bullets, and then put the magazine back, holding it with both hands and taking a look.

After all, he was a business tycoon who was on the Forbes list in his previous life. He had also come into contact with things like firearms in Europe and the United States, so he did not make many low-level mistakes like the newbies in China.

Ning Yi carefully moved the muzzle of the gun away from Zuo Yu and the other two, and did not put his finger into the trigger guard.

Seeing him like this, Ye Zixun and Zuo Yu smiled at each other, and then took out two metal blocks.

"Do you want a scope, holographic or red dot?"

“…”

Ning Yi's movement of raising the gun froze, and then he turned his head stiffly, looked at the thing in Ye Zixun's hand, and fell silent again.

After a moment, Ning Yi reached out hesitantly, took the two scopes, and saw the calibrated LED red dot through the lenses.

"...How did you get this thing?"

Ning Yi tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help it and asked the question that almost destroyed his worldview.

He could accept the identities of Zuo Yu and the other two as time travelers, and he could also accept their extraordinary martial arts that were not like those of humans, but things like pistols and even scopes were really a bit too much, right?

Could it be that they traveled overseas, guided civilization in Europe and America, and established a complete industrial system?

That's not right. Even if they came here with complete technology and knowledge, it would take at least several generations to develop from scratch to this point, right?

But looking at the appearance of Zuo Yu and the other two, they are all very young, definitely no more than thirty years old.

Even if they had absolute control over a civilization from the womb, they would not be able to create such weapons within thirty years.

Ning Yi was thinking wildly.

There was no way, the facts were too absurd and he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

Finally, in the puzzled look of Ning Yi, Zuo Yu spoke with a smile.

"Brother Ning, have you ever thought about the possibility of wearing it?"

“…”

Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized.

Putting oneself in other people's shoes is the most common cognitive obstacle in human beings.

Although Ning Yi was a genius, he could not escape this cognitive barrier. He himself was a person who traveled through time and space, so he subconsciously thought that Zuo Yu and the other two had also traveled through time and space to become the natives of this world like him.

Now after hearing Zuo Yu's answer, Ning Yi immediately understood what he meant.

However, he thinks more deeply than ordinary people.

"You are wearing clothes, which means we still have a chance to go back?"

Ning Yi showed a rare excitement on his face.

He was betrayed and died in his previous life. If he had the chance to go back, he would naturally seek revenge.

Zuo Yu and the other two looked at each other and shook their heads regretfully: "I really want to tell you yes, but unfortunately it's not."

Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, looking disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Why?"

Ning Yi asked doubtfully.

Zuo Yu smiled and said, "The specific reasons are very complicated. You will know them later. But now, there are still a few days before the deadline. I can't tell you everything."

“…”

Ning Yi nodded thoughtfully.

He had already read a lot of information from Zuo Yu's words.

What concerned him most was the word "time limit" mentioned by Zuo Yu.

This word is usually used in missions. Zuo Yu said it without hesitation, which was already telling Ning Yi clearly that there was indeed a huge organization behind them.

And this organization is likely to have more than just three time travelers: Zuo Yu, Li Yun and Ye Zixun.

"You are collecting time travelers... why?"

Ning Yi suddenly asked.

Ye Zixun and Li Yun were both stunned when they heard this.

Only Zuo Yu smiled: "I still say the same thing, I can't tell you for now."

Ning Yi thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Ye Zixun came back to his senses, put his arm around Ning Yi's shoulders, and said, "Great! I am more and more optimistic about you now!"

Ning Yi smiled and said, "My second brother deliberately leaked the information to me... But according to this, my brothers are not martial arts masters, but super soldiers or genetic warriors?"

Ye Zixun nodded, then shook his head: "I think so. They are true martial arts masters."

Ning Yi looked at Zuo Yu and Li Yun with some surprise, then blinked, put on an attentive look, and whispered: "Third brother, is there anything I can use?"

Ye Zixun smiled and said, "Yes, it's in your hand."

Ning Yi looked down at the pistol in his hand and sighed, "This thing is good for self-defense, but the magazine capacity is too small. You know, we Chinese have a fear of insufficient firepower. Brother, do you have anything more powerful?"

Looking at Ning Yi's expectant expression, Ye Zixun chuckled.

"Yes, I do, but... why should I give it to you?"

After saying that, Ye Zixun didn’t care about Ning Yi’s reaction, and pointed at the M1911 in his hand and said, “Do you want it or not? Don’t give it back to me.”

Ning Yi decisively pushed the safety, stuffed the pistol into his arms, and shook his head like a rattle.

Ye Zixun smiled and patted his shoulder: "Look how scared you are... Go to sleep well, I'll give you this gun, and when the time comes, you'll know everything."

…

That night, Ning Yi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

He threw back the quilt, put on his coat, stood up and opened the window, then sat on the edge of the bed, took out the platinum-colored pistol, and carefully stroked the cold metal gun body in the night breeze and moonlight.

Thinking back to the showdown with Zuo Yu and the other two not long ago, Ning Yi still felt as if he was in a dream.

These three guys are actually time travelers, and they are not ordinary time travelers.

Martial arts masters, super soldiers, genetic warriors, and an organization of time travelers whose existence is unknown.

...Hey, this is becoming more and more interesting!

Ning Yi smiled, then put the pistol on the bedside and lay down on the bed again.

No words were spoken that night.

Su Tan'er and Xiaochan got up early.

They had some evil taste and wanted to see Ning Yi's reaction when he was alone in the empty room on his wedding night.

But when they saw Ning Yi returning from next door, they discovered that their husband had an indescribable smile on his face and walked with great vigor, giving them the illusion that he was in high spirits as if he were celebrating a good event.

...What good news?

Su Tan'er quickly became alert.

Although she is an intelligent woman, she is still far inferior to Ning Yi.

After Ning Yi realized that his wife might have misunderstood something, Su Tan'er's indirect hints lost their effect.

Ning Yi smiled and told her that he had a long talk with his three brothers all night and they had a very pleasant conversation.

Su Tan'er finally reacted and asked in surprise, "Are you really planning to become brothers?"

Ning Yi shook his head: "Not yet, but it is true that I am interested in making friends."

Su Tan'er said happily, "That's great. Mr. Zuo and his men are all sentimental people. To them, friendship is more important than profit... Husband, I know it sounds a bit utilitarian, but for us and for our unborn son, you must build a good relationship with them. Only in this way can you protect your life in the chaos that follows."

Su Tan'er's previous remarks were a bit utilitarian, but what she mentioned at the end was Ning Yi's life.

Ning Yi knew what she meant and took her hand with a smile.

"I will bring you and your child back safely."

"……Um."

Su Tan'er nodded.

Ning Yi smiled but sighed in his heart.

Now that the imperial army is approaching, the atmosphere of tension and imminent conflict has spread throughout Hangzhou. Even Su Tan'er, who never leaves her house, has noticed the strange atmosphere, otherwise she would not have said something like "the chaos that will follow".

Fortunately, he has now become a relative of Zuo Yu and the other two.

No matter how chaotic the situation becomes, protecting the lives of Su Tan'er and others should not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Ning Yi reached into his arms and touched the cold metal that gave him an infinite sense of security.

When he got up this morning, he saw the holster left by Ye Zixun on the table in the room. There were three full magazines next to it. Together with the bullets in the gun, there were a total of 60 rounds.

In today's era, 60 bullets mean 60 lives.

And it doesn't matter whether you are male or female, old or young, high or low.

Even a martial arts master would be caught off guard upon seeing this enhanced musket for the first time.

With it, Ning Yi's personal safety has been greatly enhanced.

Even if Zuo Yu and the other two were not around, he had the confidence to handle everything.

After breakfast, Ning Yi came to Badao Camp alone.

Walking into the lobby, the graceful figure of a young girl was already sitting behind the desk.

Seeing Ning Yi coming, the girl raised her head and looked at him, then continued to handle government affairs with her head down.

Ning Yi was already accustomed to things like this. He walked to the desk below the girl, sat down cross-legged, and began to look through the piles of documents on the desk.

There was no communication between the two, but they cooperated well.

Suddenly, Liu Xigua said without even looking up, "Go to Four Seasons Residence at noon. Bring your wife with you. Ba Daoying and I will welcome you."

Ning Yi raised his head and said with a smile: "Then I will thank the Lord on behalf of my wife!"

Liu Xigua nodded, glanced at him quietly, and suddenly said: "I know you want to send your wife and maid away. I have already contacted the cargo fleet. They will leave from the southern dock the day after tomorrow. You..."

Having said this, Liu Xigua paused, as if he was considering his words.

Ning Yi carefully studied her expression and said awkwardly, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, but... I still don't need it."

……No?

Liu Xigua raised his head and looked at him in surprise: "Aren't you going to send them away?"
