Chapter 77 Ring Pistol
In the middle of the night, Ling Chan sat up from the bed and said, "No, you all don't really think that I refused the marriage because he hurt my foundation, right?"
Fortunately, everyone's enthusiasm is short-lived, and there are new things happening in Beijing every day.
Soon, the people forgot about this matter and began to prepare for the New Year.
Ling Chan also accompanied Hongdou Gonglan and the others out shopping a few times.
In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Day. Every household in the capital was bustling with activity. In comparison, the Ling Mansion was much quieter.
That’s not right. At least Ling Chan’s yard is lively.
Everyone in the yard sat together, except for Madam Qu, who had returned to the palace.
The table was filled with delicious food, all made by two cooks in different styles, said to be delicacies from all over Daqi.
After dinner, everyone gathered around the charcoal fire, laughing and joking.
Ling Chan looked at them and felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
In her previous life, she was a lone woman and had to fight alone for a long time.
Later, the country assigned her several team members, and she trusted them 100%, but she never expected that in the end...
Hongdou was playing with Gong Lan when she suddenly saw Ling Chan's expression. She squeezed over to Ling Chan with a cup of freshly heated tea.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Hongdou stuffed the hot tea into Lingchan's hand, "Today is New Year's Day, Miss should be happy."
Hongdou's eyes were so naive that Ling Chan felt very conflicted and hesitant.
She plans to set off for Yulu Temple after the Lantern Festival.
After arriving at Yulu Temple, she will ask Gong Lan to find someone to pretend to be herself and stay in Yulu Temple.
Then he took Hongdou, Gonglan and Gongyu to Qingzhou.
On the one hand, we need to go to Yangshanjian to build the base of Qingyi Tower, and on the other hand, we need to investigate the Gong family.
Once you arrive in Qingzhou, it means you have entered the center of power in the martial arts world.
It also means that there are many dangers.
Can a little girl like Hongdou, who is ignorant of the world, handle it?
Or, just leave her in the capital...but the capital is not safe either.
"Miss, what happened?"
Ling Chan looked at Hongdou and suddenly reached out to touch her cheek, "Hongdou."
Hongdou noticed Lingchan's heavy tone and her expression became serious, "Miss."
"After the Lantern Festival, I will go to Yulu Temple to pray for my mother."
"Anko knows."
"But this is just what we say to the outside world. Actually..." Ling Chan told her the truth, "I'm going to Qingzhou to take care of an important matter."
Hongdou's pupils dilated...
"Hongdou, there are still more than ten days left. Think carefully about whether you want to stay in Ling Mansion or go with me."
Hongdou nodded without thinking, "Miss, I'll go with you."
"Hongdou, you have to think carefully...it will be very dangerous to go to Qingzhou."
Hongdou still didn't think much about it, "No matter how dangerous it is, I will stay with the lady."
She pursed her lips and said, "For so many years, Hongdou has never been separated from the young lady. From now on..."
"We will never be separated again."
Ling Chan couldn't help but pinch the newly grown flesh on her cheek, "Okay, then you have to practice martial arts with Lan Niang well, understand?"
This time, Hongdou's expression was more serious than usual, "Yeah."
As a result, the next day, Gong Lan was still sleeping soundly when she was woken up by Hongdou.
In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the Lantern Festival. Liu Huaiyu came to Ling's house and brought Ling Chan a thick fox fur scarf.
"This is a white fox my grandfather hunted on the border a few years ago. He made it into a scarf and gave it to me. I've never been willing to use it."
"It's very cold in Yulu Temple, and you're just right for it."
Ling Chan was not willing to accept such an expensive gift, but Liu Huaiyu was very persistent.
"Ling Chan, I have always taken the Marquis of Zhenbei as my role model since I was young. For so many years, I have always wanted to have the opportunity to go to the battlefield and experience it."
"If you hadn't helped Grandpa heal his old injuries, I would never have had the chance."
"So you must accept this gift."
Ling Chan heard from her words... "So, the emperor has agreed to General Liu?"
Liu Huaiyu nodded, "Yeah."
"Grandpa will leave in another month."
"Besides," she said excitedly, "I also convinced Grandpa and Mom and Dad, and they all agreed to let me go to the border with Grandpa."
"Did Lord Liu and Madam Liu also agree?" This was a bit beyond Ling Chan's expectations.
Because Liu Huaiyu was about the same age as her, he would be seventeen after the New Year, and at this age he should have been engaged, married and had children.
Liu Huaiyu is going to the border this time...it will take at least a year for him to come back.
Because of this delay...Liu Huaiyu became what everyone called an "old maid".
In this situation...Liu Yuanshan and Mrs. Liu actually agreed?
Liu Huaiyu raised his chin proudly, "Well, my parents also agreed."
"They know me well. If they don't agree, I will find a way to go by myself. Instead of sneaking around, it's better to go with Grandpa openly."
Ling Chan thought of the original owner through Liu Huaiyu. If Gong Lele was still alive, the original owner should be the same as Liu Huaiyu...
"Huaiyu, I'm going to Yulu Temple tomorrow. It might take a long time for us to meet again."
"Actually, I have a gift for you too."
"Wait for me here."
Entering the inner room, Ling Chan entered the space and came to the equipment warehouse...
She wanted to choose a self-defense equipment for Liu Huaiyu.
Scanning the various equipment in the equipment library... Ling Chan finally chose the ring pistol.
This is a very fine pistol and is currently the smallest firearm in the world.
This is smaller than the ring gun that appeared hundreds of years ago. If worn on the finger like a black ring, it will not arouse suspicion at all.
The base of the ring is a metal plate with a magazine for bullets on it. There are ten bullet holes in total, which are loaded with micro bullets with a diameter of one millimeter.
Before leaving the space, Ling Chan filled another bottle with the pool water in the space.
Coming out of the inner room, Ling Chan handed the two things to Liu Huaiyu.
Liu Huaiyu felt strange and turned the black ring over and over, "What is this...?"
Ling Chan grabbed her hand and put the ring on it. "This is a ring, but it is also a hidden weapon."
"Hidden weapon?" Liu Huaiyu took off the ring he had just put on. "Is this a hidden weapon?"
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a hidden weapon...
She had heard from her grandfather that hidden weapons mainly include darts, knives, flying spikes, plum blossom needles, locust stones, flying missiles, lassos, flying claws, sleeve hammers, back crossbows, sleeve arrows, etc.
Which one does this belong to?
Ling Chan taught her how to use it, "You turn the iron sheet on the top." Actually, it was not an iron sheet, but a special metal sheet, but Liu Huaiyu could understand it easily if she said it was an iron sheet.
"Show this hole." The small hole where the bullet came from.
“And then press this little button on the side.” It’s like a trigger.
"Point this small hole at the person you want to attack, and the bullet will shoot out of the ring."
Liu Huaiyu wanted to try, but was stopped by Ling Chan. "There are only ten marbles in total. Use them when you need to save your life."
"The medicine in this bottle is excellent for wounds. For external injuries, add it to water and wipe the wound. For internal injuries, mix it with tea and drink it. This medicine is very precious, so you must use it sparingly."
Finally, Ling Chan warned her, "I asked someone to find these two things from the Jianghu. Huaiyu, remember not to tell anyone else."
"Even General Liu can't say it."
