Chapter 510: Seizing the Heart

As more personnel and materials moved around, and some behind-the-scenes transactions were carried out, muskets and ammunition were secretly traded to the rebels in batches.

On weekdays, the Lu family, represented by Lu Yuesheng, has always been unclear with the top rebels, and has a very large-scale underground gray transaction.

She is responsible for assisting the rebels in selling stolen goods through various legal trading channels under her name.

Every time the rebel army conquered a city, a considerable part of the large amounts of luxury goods they plundered would be dispersed further through her hands in exchange for supplies needed to maintain the war.

Due to the relatively remote location of Hanluo City, the Wei Dynasty, which was surrounded by wars, had no intention of paying attention.

As long as she pays enough taxes and spends some money to buy the sent guards, a large chaebol with a private army like her can do almost anything they want in the local area. Even if they join forces with rebels who are tantamount to rebellion, they don't have to worry too much.

Relying on this long-term cooperative relationship, she easily gained the trust of the rebels and allowed them to start trying out the new weapons she provided.

Otherwise, if someone just talks nonsense and proposes to the rebel leader to equip himself with a weapon he has never seen before, such as a musket, he will definitely be kicked out of the camp.

After several victories, big or small, this weapon made a loud noise when used, could easily leave a large blood hole in the human body, and could also cause effective damage to the rough-skinned and thick-bodied underlying monsters, and soon caused attracted the attention of ordinary people.

In troubled times, weapons of mass destruction that ordinary people can easily use are an excellent choice for self-defense or protecting their families.

Given the quality of the soldiers of the ancient Peasant Rebel Army, it was unrealistic to expect them to abide by the confidentiality regulations. Some small army leaders who were paid by the army soon got into trouble and secretly sold the muskets and gunpowder obtained by falsely reporting their heads at high prices. To outsiders.

Of course, this is also because Lu Yuesheng has been preparing for this plan for many years. Not only has he established lines with various rebels in advance, but the supply volume is still tens of thousands, making muskets not a valuable thing from the beginning. , but the positioning of a new popular weapon.

…

Several small-scale defeats in the war against bandits made the muskets attract the attention of senior officials in the Wei Dynasty.

"What do you think?" Above the court, the Wei Emperor Duan Dehuai, who was sitting in the center, waved his hand, and the guards used a tray to bring a musket in front of the ministers.

The Duan family is the most powerful of the four aristocratic families, and is also the royal family of the Wei Dynasty. The emperor himself is a god-level master, so naturally there is no rule about not using weapons in court.

Within the Wei Dynasty, there are only four levels of classification for extraordinary power: god level, dragon level, ghost level, and monster level. These are basically depictions of the destructive power of blood people.

The strongest god level is capable of collapsing mountains and destroying land, leveling cities with one blow, and sweeping away millions of armies by one person, while the weakest monster level is still at a level that a squad of cold weapon soldiers can handle. A fully armed team of men is enough to fight with Some of the weaker monster-level monsters fought back and forth.

"Small hidden weapons like this can only penetrate the bodies of monster-level monsters. They can't do much damage to ghost-level monsters, let alone dragon-level and god-level ones protected by Gang Qi. I don't think it's a big deal."

"I agree, muskets are just for mortals, and the outcome of the war is still decided by those of our bloodline."

"I second the proposal."

…

When they first received the news about the firearm, many ministers of the Wei Dynasty were a little worried, but then they found out that the projectiles fired by this small thing could hardly cause harm to those with ghost-level blood, so they felt relieved.

Thousands of years of being aloof, all the bloodline families have become accustomed to looking down at everything. Even if the civilians jump up with all their strength, they can't reach their knees.

As for the change of dynasty, it is just a game between the four major families. Whichever family is the strongest will be the emperor.

"Since the rebels are nothing to worry about, I wonder how the ministers view the matter of the mind flayer." The matter of firearms was lightly revealed, and Chao Shang began to discuss the time traveler.

A few years ago, when choosing a target to possess, there were warriors on the Void Worm who went deep into the family line, trying to get a higher starting point.

But it is not easy to play a person from another world for many years without showing any flaws, living in a life circle with a completely different culture.

Unlike Lu Yuesheng who was hanging around in the market, she was born into a poor family and no one cared about her at all in the beginning. After she became powerful, she became more reclusive and used substitutes to attend public events as much as possible. Only a few close friends knew that something was wrong.

However, there are many masters with photographic memory in the aristocratic family. Their sense of people is extremely keen. Over time, they still notice some abnormal details.

After following the clues, the family members learned that their own interior had been penetrated!

Only because the time traveler who discovered that their identity was exposed decisively self-destructed and their consciousness returned to the Void Worm, they were not soul-searched and more information was leaked, making everyone in the Wei Dynasty still believe that it was the conspiracy of the old enemy Yaoxie.

"The mind-stealer demon is of great importance. Many of my descendants and I have been infected by it. I think we should deal with it as soon as possible!"

"I observe the pattern of winning hearts. Almost all of them are juniors born within ten years. Maybe we can start from here." Bei Mingzheng, who was wearing a crimson blue official uniform, said.

No matter what identity they chose, the time travelers chose almost all infants and young children because they had the highest success rate, but this also left the family with excellent evidence after the incident.

As long as you focus on the blood people of the corresponding age group, it is not difficult to find the mind flayer.

"But how can Minister Beiming be sure that the mind-stealing demon has not invaded other people's bodies?" Liu Jin, the imperial censor who disagreed with Beiming Zheng and criticized him every day, asked.

"The top priority is to find all the mind flayers as much as possible. I don't think my method can find them all, but I can definitely find a large part of them." Bei Mingzheng gave the troublemaker a hard look. political opponents.

"I propose that the heads of each clan conduct a soul search on the younger members of the clan, search their memories, and find out the lurking mind-stealer demon."

"But how can you guarantee that the patriarch himself has not been infected?" Liu Jin continued to pursue.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. Several ministers in the court were the patriarchs of their families. Even the current Holy Lord's own brother was the patriarch of the Duan clan.

"Accurate!" During the ceremony, Duan Dehuai still had to consider his image, but ignored Liu Jin's doubts and approved Bei Mingzheng's proposal without saying anything else.

However, many ministers know that the relationship between the Duan brothers is very good. Liu Jin's political career may be at an end. They should think about how to distance themselves from the Liu family later.
