Chapter 671: Sword in Hand

　　Shen Xiao nodded and said, "This is the formula that Mr. Qin modified. I modified another one before, but it is not as powerful and is more suitable for small-scale killing."

　　During this period of time, Shen Xiao can be said to have devoted his entire life to the research on the application of gunpowder, and he can talk about it very knowledgeably.

　　He and Old Qin have different research directions. Old Qin likes to maximize the power of gunpowder and work on large-scale lethal weapons, while Shen Xiao is more inclined to research small-scale lethal weapons that can be equipped by individual soldiers.

　　The two people went in different directions, but there was no conflict, and each achieved results.

　　"Come on, come on, I'll take you to see what Shen Xiao made. I guarantee it will dazzle your eyes!" Old Qin laughed and led the way.

　　Liang Cheng and Zheng Shicheng smiled at each other and followed him.

　　Zhang Zhiyao hadn't recovered from the shock until Sheng Ze called him, "Master Zhang, let's go."

　　"Oh, okay. I'll be right there." Zhang Zhiyao responded hurriedly.

　　Oh my god! This is so scary! If the Hubei Northern Army uses the stuff just now on the battlefield in the future, who will be their opponent?

　　At this moment, Zhang Zhiyao was extremely glad for his original decision. If he had gone against His Highness and Liang Cheng, his fate would probably be similar to that small hill just now, right?

　　The only thing that made him regretful was that his family was still in Yunzhou, and he didn’t know when he would have the chance to see them again.

　　Before Zhang Zhiyao was sent to northern Hubei, he had already arranged a retreat for his family. For example, Zhang Dong was brought directly to northern Hubei, while the old lady, his wife and concubine were arranged by his wife to slowly move to the mountains and forests of his hometown in Yunzhou.

　　He had received the news when Prince Zhao started the rebellion. All his family members had been replaced and returned to their hometowns. Only a few servants who often appeared in public were still in the capital.

　　It was also because of this that he had no worries and brought Zhang Dong with him to surrender.

　　Now it seems that his decision at that time was absolutely correct.

　　After seeing what Shen Xiao had made, Zhang Zhiyao silently lit a candle for Sheng Zhan and King Zhao in his heart, and at the same time, a sense of pride arose in his heart.

　　With such a powerful northern Hubei, is he still afraid that he cannot realize his ambition?

　　Shen Xiao studied the design of cold weapons, so what he made was a combination of gunpowder and cold weapons.

　　For example, Sheng Ze picked up a delicate crossbow and asked, "Is this newly made?"

　　"Yes, I made some changes based on Mr. Qin's previous design. I changed it from firing three arrows in a row to firing seven arrows in a row." Shen Xiao nodded, still a little embarrassed.

　　Liang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Seven arrows fired in a row? Let me see."

　　He took the crossbow from Sheng Ze, loaded it with arrows on the spot, aimed at the target a hundred meters away and pressed the switch of the crossbow.

　　"Don't." Shen Xiao raised his hand, but before he could say anything to stop him, Liang Cheng's arrow had already been shot out.

　　Then Zhang Zhiyao felt that he had to light a few more candles for Sheng Zhan and King Zhao.
