Chu Tianbao returned safely with Noble Consort Ling. Lu Ye was extremely happy. “Young General, it’s great that you’re fine! The Great Empress specially sent us to receive you.”
Chu Tianbao was not surprised. Instead, Gou Houxing suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and asked in a daze, “What Great Empress?”
Even if Gu Chilie ascended the throne, he was still a man!
Lu Ye knew Gou Houxing and explained, “The Great Empress is the Young General’s wife. Now, the southern frontier is no longer called the southern frontier. It has been changed to the Carefree Kingdom. Our imperial city is called Carefree City!”
Gou Houxing was still a little confused. “Huh? Carefree Kingdom, if the General’s wife becomes the Great Empress, will our Young General still be the Young General?”
Lu Ye was also a little confused. He glanced at Chu Tianbao. “Uh, this, this, I think so.”
Gou Houxing’s eyes widened. Even this could work!!!
Then wouldn’t their Young General still be a member of the Great Empress’s harem?
While Gou Houxing was doubting his life, Chu Tianbao asked, “How is she?”
They had already arrived at the southern frontier and had the army as their solid backing.
Chu Tianbao only wanted to return to Carefree City as soon as possible and to Bai Wutong’s side to watch the child be born.
Lu Ye hurriedly said, “The Great Empress is very good and misses you very much, Young General. We’ve already prepared a carriage. If you’re in a hurry to travel, you can rest for a while. We’ll send someone to escort you back to Carefree City.”
He still had to stay here and lead the army to resist the Ling Kingdom’s army that might attack at any time.
Chu Tianbao smiled. “Okay.”
Gou Houxing was especially interested in the weapons they had used previously. “What weapon did you use just now? Why is it so powerful?”
At this point, Lu Ye was also very excited. “That’s called a grenade. It’s a throwing weapon with astonishing explosive power.”
He did not expect that the Ling Kingdom’s army would be defeated after just throwing a few. The medical staff who followed them were completely useless.
However, everyone was also happy. This meant that their national defense was safe and impregnable.
Gou Houxing hurriedly asked, “Then what’s that long black tube you’re holding? How can it shoot so far!”
It knocked Nine Heavens down with two shots, and his eyes almost popped out.
Lu Ye said proudly, “That’s a sniper rifle. It can aim at the enemy from afar and kill them. The range can reach up to 800 meters. As long as our aim is accurate, there’s no enemy we can’t hit.”
800 meters!!!
Gou Houxing said excitedly, “Can you show me?”
Lu Ye shook his head. “No one is allowed to touch a gun without training.” Meeting Gou Houxing’s disappointed gaze, he said, “You can take a look.”
Gou Houxing’s tail, which had just hung down, stood up again. He excitedly followed Lu Ye out of the tent.
Lan Jingbai was like a still poplar tree in the wind. He was upright and neat, and there was a hint of gloominess in his eyes. He was extremely steady.
Gou Houxing saw that he was like a good soldier and admired him a few times before his gaze landed on the sniper rifle on his shoulder.
Lu Ye smiled and said, “Lan Jingbai, show him your skills!”
“Yes!”
Gou Houxing raised his sniper rifle and aimed at the small tree 300 meters away. He clipped it to his shoulder and aimed. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly pulled the trigger and the tallest branch on the top of the small tree broke.
Lu Ye smiled and said, “Very good!”
Gou Houxing rushed forward and wanted to touch him. Before he could approach, Lu Ye grabbed him. “You can’t touch him! If it goes off, someone will die!”
Gou Houxing hurriedly said, “You can ask him to teach me, teach me!”
Lu Ye smiled and said, “You’ve been travelling a long way. Hurry up and take a shower. When you reach Carefree City, there’s a training ground there. You can practice every day.”
Gou Houxing could not wait. “If I don’t touch it now, I won’t feel good all over. I promise not to do anything rash. Let me have my fun first!”
Lu Ye gave in. “Lan Jingbai, teach him how to hold a gun.”
“Yes!”
Lan Jingbai first introduced the structure of the sniper rifle to Gou Houxing. After he could remember the function of every part of the sniper rifle, he allowed him to hold the sniper rifle and feel it.
Gou Houxing pulled the trigger expectantly, but what came out was a hollow sound. He was immediately disappointed. “Can’t you put a bullet in for me?”
Lu Ye smiled at the side. “We practiced with an unloaded gun for a long time before we had a chance to shoot. Bullets are not meant to be wasted.”
Gou Houxing’s face was filled with regret. Chu Tianbao took a shower and shaved his beard before walking out.
Seeing the clean Young General, Gou Houxing felt a little sloppy. He had to take a shower.
When Chu Tianbao reached out and gestured for Lu Ye to give him a sniper rifle to try, Gou Houxing stopped in his tracks.
Lu Ye said awkwardly, “The army also stipulates that you can’t touch guns without training.”
Chu Tianbao suddenly took out an especially small pistol. It was a model that Lu Ye had never seen before.
It turned out that the young general had used a gun before them.
Lu Ye immediately handed over the sniper rifle with both hands.
No man could escape the charm of a gun. Chu Tianbao picked up the heavy sniper rifle and narrowed his eyes. His gaze made him look like a god of death.
“Pa—”
A small seedling 400 meters away was suddenly shattered.
Lu Ye exclaimed, “Young General is really good at shooting!”
Gou Houxing’s face was filled with envy. “Too awesome!”
Chu Tianbao stared at the small tree that was 300 meters away, but he didn’t explain that he actually wanted to shoot the small tree.
Chu Tianbao returned the sniper rifle to Lu Ye. Noble Consort Ling had already taken a bath and eaten. Chu Tianbao immediately said to Gou Houxing, “We’re setting off.”
Gou Houxing, who had messy hair that could have oil squeezed out, had a shocked expression on his face, as if asking, ‘we are setting off just like that?’ He had yet to do anything.
Probably reading the meaning from Gou Houxing’s expression, Chu Tianbao added, “You can stay here.”
Gou Houxing immediately shook his head. What a joke. He still had to go back and hug the Little Young General!
Lu Ye led them into the carriage.
The carriage was huge and had all the necessary facilities. It was not that Gou Houxing had never seen a bigger one, but under the carriage, the road that stretched for thousands of miles shocked him. He kept asking like a wild monkey who had never seen the world, “What is this?”
Lu Ye laughed and said, “This is a cement road built with cement. In the future, we will build asphalt roads. Don’t be too surprised.”
Gou Houxing jumped on the road. It was firm and hard enough. “Amazing.”
Chu Tianbao pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, “How long will it take to travel to the southern frontier?”
Lu Ye said excitedly, “Only half a month!”
Chu Tianbao suddenly got into the carriage and said to Noble Consort Ling, “Houxing will escort you to Carefree City. There won’t be any danger on the way back. My wife is about to give birth, so I want to go first.”
Noble Consort Ling had just wanted to persuade Chu Tianbao to leave first. She smiled and nodded. “Go. There are so many people protecting Mother.”
“Thank you, Mother..”
