Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!

Chapter 368: Secret Weapon ( 2 )

Hearing Xue Ya’er’s words, Yao Zhi smiled and replied, "Madam, it’s better for me to demonstrate their power to you." Standing up, she asked, "Is there any open space nearby?"

Xue Ya’er nodded. "There is a small grassland behind the mansion. We can go there."

"Okay."

The group left the back courtyard and went to the grassland where Lu Qianxuan used to practice his archery and horsemanship.

It took them forty minutes to walk to the horse stable. Inside the stable, there were several horses. Most of them were mares, with only one stallion.

Yao Zhi didn’t have knowledge about horses, but with the help of her system’s scanning feature, she learned that the stallion was a rare Ferghana horse.

According to historical records in her previous life, the Ferghana horse was also known as the Heavenly Horse and only became known during the Han Dynasty.

But in this world, this Ferghana horse had already been found by the founding Emperor during his expedition to expand the Great Yan’s territory. Although the founding Emperor managed to acquire a total of seventeen Ferghana horses, there were only two stallions.

Over the years, the imperial court continued breeding the Ferghana horses, but most of the newborn horses were mares. After so many years, there had only been a total of three pureblood stallions born.

The best stallion had perished together with the Marquis of Wenyuan. As for the one inside the stable, it was a pureblood stallion, but not the one bred by the imperial court.

Noticing her gaze staying on the horse for a long time, Xue Ya’er said, "That horse is the General’s favorite. Usually, he rides it to war. But since it’s mating season, this horse is left for breeding."

Yao Zhi nodded but didn’t say anything. After they walked past the stable, she finally saw a vast grassland. Although the grassland was wide, there were no wild animals roaming around.

"Young Master Lei, do you think this place will do?" Steward Han asked.

"This place will do," Yao Zhi nodded.

After she said this, she took the wooden box from Ling Shijiu’s hand and said, "All of you, move back further. Also, cover your ears."

Although they didn’t know why they needed to do that, they still moved back more than thirty meters and covered their ears.

Yao Zhi took out the bamboo tube from the box and used a lighter taken from the shared manor to light the fuse. The moment the fuse touched the fire, it let out a sizzling sound.

Without hesitation, she threw the bamboo tube as far as she could and ran back to the group. Five seconds later, the bamboo tube exploded with a thunderous sound.

BOOM!

The sound was so loud that Yao Zhi felt her ears ringing even though she covered them with her hands. She turned her head and checked the power of the explosion.

Seeing a huge, deep pit on the ground, a smile bloomed on her face. She had bought some materials from the system’s shop and made this prototype according to the system’s personal assistant’s instructions.

Although the system gave her a guarantee that the product was a success and that its power was comparable to the modern era’s hand grenade, she was still doubtful.

But now that she had tested the power, she couldn’t help but praise the system. "System, you are amazing!"

The moment she said this, a mechanical voice echoed in her mind. "Host, since the system has assisted you with the experiment, shouldn’t you reward this system with some merit points?"

Since she was in a good mood, Yao Zhi nodded and said generously, "You can deduct ten thousand merit points from my account as your reward."

Even though the amount of merit points it obtained was small, it was better than nothing. Even a mosquito’s meat was still meat!

"Thank you, Host!" the system said, followed by the sound of her points being deducted.

While she was chatting happily with the system, Xue Ya’er and Steward Han were stunned after witnessing the power of the so-called gunpowder. Not only them, but even Ling Shiwu, Ling Shiqi, and Ling Shijiu were stunned.

Yao Zhi waved at them after she finished talking with her system and said, "Everyone, come here."

Hearing her words, they regained their senses and walked over. Seeing the pit with a diameter of more than three meters and almost two meters deep, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

From afar, they had only heard the thunderous sound of the explosion and thought that the power was amazing. But now that they saw the pit, they finally realized the true power of this weapon.

As long as the White Tiger Army had this weapon, they wouldn’t have to fear anyone.

With just a small bamboo tube, they could blast a large group of enemies. Not to mention wearing damaged armor and using rusty weapons, even if the soldiers went out unarmored, they could still kill the enemy without a problem!

With this thought, Steward Han knelt on the ground and knocked his forehead against it. He kowtowed three times, and when he straightened his back, his forehead had turned red.

Seeing him like this, Yao Zhi was taken aback. "Steward Han, what are you doing?"

"Young Master Lei, forgive this servant for being presumptuous. Please bestow this heavenly weapon to the General and protect the Great Yan Kingdom."

After he said this, Steward Han lowered his head until his forehead touched the ground.

"Steward Han, please stand up," Yao Zhi said with a frown.

"Young Master Lei, this servant won’t stand up until you agree."

Just after he finished his words, Ling Shijiu grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him up impatiently. Despite his young age, his strength rivaled that of veteran soldiers.

Steward Han choked from the sudden action. Before he could resist, he had been thrown to the side. As he fell to the ground, he heard Ling Shijiu’s cold voice, filled with killing intent.
