Chapter 154 Cloud Feather 13
Although Gong Zishang is the eldest daughter of the Gong family, she lacks the dignified and reserved demeanor of a traditional young lady from a wealthy family. She is lively, unconventional, and loves to play pranks, even to the point of being somewhat eccentric. She loves looking at handsome men, especially Jin Fan, and boldly expresses her love for him by following him around all day, which makes everyone in the Gong family turn their heads. However, she is not afraid of what others say and continues to do things her own way, which is truly enviable.
At this moment, she was sitting opposite Gong Ziyu, her hands lightly supporting the ends of the long hairpin in her hair. She deliberately squeezed her eyes into a funny cross-eyed shape, and her voice was deliberately weak, as if she were performing a comedy: "This~ really stumps me~"
Despite inheriting the original owner's memories, Gong Ziyu was still amused by Gong Zishang's exaggerated manner, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"Alright, stop fooling around. I have something important to discuss with you."
Gong Ziyu's smile faded, and he directly handed over the blueprints he had drawn earlier, outlining the manufacturing methods for the Red Cannon and the Divine Fire Flying Crow, saying, "Take a look and see if you can build these two weapons."
"Oh~, let me see what this is." Gong Zishang raised her eyebrows and pretended to extend two fingers to take the drawing.
His previously casual gaze was struck by an invisible force the moment he saw the blueprints, piercing straight to his heart. His breath hitched, his expression turned serious, and he abandoned all pretense of playfulness, holding the blueprints and studying them intently, muttering to himself.
Seeing her completely focused expression, Gong Ziyu understood what was going on.
Gong Zishang really can understand these two drawings!
I initially thought that since this world was in the age of cold weapons, it wouldn't be long before someone could see through the secrets of this blueprint. Unexpectedly, Gong Zishang only needed one glance to see the intricacies, clearly demonstrating her expertise and familiarity with weaponry.
However, in the original owner's memory, Gong Zishang was just as irresponsible as him. The two of them would laugh and joke around every day, and were known as the unreliable siblings in the Gong family.
The original owner would sneak out of the palace every day to frequent brothels; Gong Zishang was infatuated with Jin Fan all day long, chasing after him every day.
However, the original owner felt that he was a bit better than Gong Zishang, after all, he didn't follow women around all day showing his love.
Judging from Gong Zishang's current performance, she must have secretly worked hard before, otherwise she could not have reached such a proficient level with talent alone.
Then think of Gong Shangjiao, who has long been traveling the world for the palace, and Gong Yuanzheng, who is skilled in both medicine and poison!
Ah!
So the original owner was truly the only one in the entire palace who was ignorant, incompetent, and idle!
Gong Zishang held the blueprints and looked at them for a long time, feeling her head buzzing.
She stared at Gong Ziyu in disbelief, her eyes wide as if she wanted to see right through him.
"Where did you get this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to sense something, and subtly twitched her nose a few times, successfully catching the strong scent of ink in the air.
She reached out her finger and gently touched the ink on the drawing, her fair fingertip instantly becoming stained with ink.
"You drew this? You designed these weapons?" Gong Zishang exclaimed in disbelief, her voice filled with shock and doubt.
Gong Ziyu frankly stated, "I drew the blueprints! But the inventor is someone else! Don't worry about that, just tell me if this can be done!"
Upon hearing this, Gong Zishang chuckled twice, not believing him at all, and said with a fake smile, "How could I not know that someone in the martial arts world has invented such a powerful weapon?"
Gunpowder exists in this world, but no one has ever been able to successfully combine it with weapons. Countless skilled craftsmen who tried to do so all ended in failure.
She was no exception, secretly researching how to combine gunpowder and weapons. However, she didn't expect that while she was still in the initial research stage, Gong Ziyu had already produced the blueprints, and judging from the data, it was very likely that these two weapons could be made.
Realizing this, Gong Zishang felt like she was about to cry, her mind resonating with Gong Shangjiao's from the Hall of Blades just now.
I had only one thought in my mind: Gong Ziyu, you're a fucking actor!
We're together almost every day during the day, and I just watched you slack off, thinking you were really someone without any ambition. I never expected that you actually had the same idea as me, secretly working hard, wanting to quietly amaze everyone.
Oh!
Things are different now!
Gong Zishang had a cold face because Gong Ziyu had successfully amazed her, while she had failed and only managed to amaze someone in vain.
Finally, Gong Zishang left with two sets of blueprints, her steps heavy.
Gong Ziyu was unaware that Gong Zishang had been secretly researching firearms. He was also wondering why a craftsman who forged weapons should be overjoyed and excited to see a groundbreaking weapon come to life.
Why does the Miyazaki Trading Company look so somber?
I thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking about it.
He leisurely sat down at the tea table, lit the stove, and deftly brewed a pot of tea.
The herbal tea at this palace gate is so intoxicating; you just want to drink more after you've had it.
A moment later, Gong Ziyu, holding the freshly brewed hot tea, smelled the tea's aroma with a hint of medicine, let out a long sigh, and her mind cleared considerably. She began to ponder when Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng would arrive.
Just as I was thinking this, the two of them arrived.
"Lord Zhiren, here is our plan for the actions of Jiaogong and Zhenggong."
Unlike his aggressive demeanor in the Hall of Blade Master, Gong Ziyu smiled amiably and pointed to the two seats opposite him, saying, "Please sit down! I just brewed some medicinal tea, come and have a cup with me!"
As he spoke, he personally poured a cup of tea for each of them and placed it opposite them.
A hint of surprise flashed in Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, they sat down opposite Gong Ziyu as instructed.
I don't know what Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng said before they came, but he became much more obedient and followed his brother very well.
Seeing his expression, Gong Ziyu smiled and said, "The tea from Zheng Palace is really good. I'd appreciate it if you could make me some more later, Young Master Zheng!"
Gong Ziyu's tone was easygoing, and there was no indication that the group had had any disagreements.
Upon hearing this, Gong Yuanzheng nodded somewhat awkwardly, which was taken as an agreement.
"Master Blade Holder!"
Gong Shangjiao noticed the change in his younger brother's expression and quickly changed the subject, handing over two scrolls. "This is our action plan; please take a look!"
However, Gong Ziyu took the scroll but did not open it. Instead, he put it aside and said calmly, "This is not urgent. I have something else to ask you."
His gaze shifted between the two men before he slowly spoke: "You suddenly accused me of not being of the palace bloodline today. Did someone say something to you? Or give you some evidence?"
