Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wen Shun was at leisure, and now he was playing chess with Sima Zhao in the Zuixian Tower.  After one round, it turned out to be another dead end.  Wen Shun shook his head, smiled, and talked to Sima Zhao.

    "Brother Zhao is becoming more and more proficient in this formation. It seems that he will be able to defeat my brother in a few days."

    "Haha. Big brother is ridiculous. Little brother is just a fluke, a fluke!"

    Sima Zhao smiled slightly, without any hint of embarrassment, and actually called Wen Shun his eldest brother.  It turns out that the two of them have the same meaning, and they began to treat each other as brothers a long time ago.  Wen Shun waved his hand and stood up slowly, showing a bit of sadness.  When Sima Zhao saw it, his expression condensed and he asked in a deep voice.

    "The elder brother seems to have something on his mind. You might as well talk about it so that the younger brother can share his worries."

    Wen Shun let out a long sigh, his eyes tightened, and he looked out the window at the people on the street. His expression became more and more sad, and he spoke slowly.

    "The Wei Dynasty aggressively recruited new soldiers, and now there are millions of them. Wei Emperor Cao Mengde is an unparalleled hero, determined to unify the country. The Western Tang and the Wei Dynasty are about to fight. In order to deal with the millions of heroes of the Wei Dynasty, the Western Tang Dynasty  We also have to recruit new soldiers on a large scale. Now, young men from various counties have joined the army. If our army is defeated, how can the Western Tang Dynasty be resisted by the tigers and wolves of the Wei Dynasty?"

    When Sima Zhao heard this, his expression was shocked, and he immediately stood up, came to Wen Shun's side, and comforted him with kind words.

    "Brother, don't worry too much. The king of the Western Tang Dynasty has great talents and great strategies. His advisers such as Prime Minister Pang, Xu Sima, and Tian Taichang are all geniuses. Moreover, Guan Shengye and Zhao Longhou are all victorious generals, no one can defeat them. The great Wei Dynasty, why?  It¡¯s worth mentioning?¡±

    When Wen Shun heard this, he shook his head and sighed, his eyes bright, and he said.

    "Brother Zhao is wrong. Although our talents in the Western Tang Dynasty are like stars in the sky and our generals are as fierce as clouds, the civil and military personnel of the Wei Dynasty are also heroes and should not be underestimated."

    Sima Zhao's heart sank. Seeing that the time had come, he suddenly changed the subject and addressed Wen Shun.

    "Having said that, we in the Western Tang Dynasty have well-equipped military equipment, including thunder cannons and other magical weapons. In the past, Chengdu, the most fortified city in the world, could not withstand its power. Zhuge Kongming was even defeated by the most wise man in the world.  Under the control of the King of the Western Tang Dynasty! I don¡¯t know what kind of magical weapon this thunder cannon is. If I can see it, I will have no regrets in this life."

    Wen Shun raised his eyebrows, smiled when he heard this, and laughed with Sima Zhao.

    "What's so difficult about this? If Brother Zhao wants to see it, you can come with me to the palace tomorrow and I'll get it for you to take a look at!"

    Wen Shun seemed unsuspecting of Sima Zhao. After all, Wen Shun had been with Sima Zhao for a long time and had no clues.  Moreover, since Pang Tong issued the policy of blocking the passes and cutting off all contact with the Wei Dynasty, it was difficult for the Wei Dynasty's elite to enter the pass. Moreover, every key pass was blocked and monitored by flying kites, let alone reaching Chang'an.  Moreover, Wen Shun regarded Sima Zhao as his own brother. Although Sima Zhao had no intention of becoming an official, Wen Shun believed that in the near future, if he treated him sincerely, Sima Zhao would be willing to join him.  With Sima Zhao's ability, his future is unlimited, and this thunder cannon will be seen sooner or later.  When Sima Zhao heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he was very happy. He bowed his hands and bowed.

    "I have been fascinated by this artifact for a long time. If I can take a look at it, I will be lucky in my life."

    Seeing Sima Zhao so happy, Wen Shun burst into laughter.  The two of them were in high spirits, so a banquet was inevitable.  That night, Wen Shun left happily.  Sima Zhao looked at his leaving figure outside the building and murmured.

    "Big brother, big brother. Don't blame me. The Sima and Wen families have been fighting openly and secretly since decades ago. I can't repay you for the kindness you have treated me. In the future, if you want to blame me and hate me, I will too.  Just accept it.¡±

    After Sima Zhao finished speaking, he showed some inexplicable emotions and turned around to go back.

    The next day, Wen Shun sent someone to summon him early.  Sima Zhao obeyed the order, changed his clothes, and went to wait outside the city.  After a while, Wen Shun arrived with dozens of Feiyuan soldiers wearing black clothes and black armor with indifferent expressions.

    Last night, Wen Shun informed his father about this matter.  It is said that Wenhan had heard about Ma Zhao for a long time. He heard from his son that he was a prodigy in the world, so he had the intention to summon him to the palace to see him.  However, Wen Shun said that Ma Zhao had no intention of becoming an official for the time being, so he summoned him rashly, fearing that he might not share his heart.  Wen Han saw that Wen Shun had an idea, so he didn't ask any more questions.  Last night Wenhan heard that Ma Zhao had been fascinated by the thunder cannon for a long time, and Wen Shun wanted to get one of the thunder cannons to fulfill his wish.  Wen Han secretly kept his heart, but he saw that Wen Shun had a deep friendship with Na Ma Zhao, and he didn't want Wen Shun to break his promise to others, which was a promise.  Wen Shun was overjoyed. He took a thunder cannon from the Shenbing Camp and came with Fei Yuan's dead soldiers.

    After the two brothers finished their ceremony, they looked towards a wilderness outside the city and rode off.  It was noon, but the sky was dark, and it seemed that there would be a thunderstorm soon.  When Wen Shun and his party came to the wilderness, they couldn't help but frown when they saw the sky. They glanced at the dead soldier beside them.  Sima Zhao saw this and his expression condensed.  The flying kite that had made eye contact with Wen Shun just now suddenly made a strange sound  After a while, in the dense forest on the left, a group of flying kite warriors rushed out, pushing a wooden cart with a strange iron-like object on the cart.  When Sima Zhao saw it, his eyes were bright and he looked closely.  Soon, the group of flying kite warriors rushed over. Sima Zhao hurriedly dismounted and observed next to the iron-like object.  Seeing Sima Zhao's eagerness, Wen Shun smiled slightly, got off his horse, came to Sima Zhao's side, pointed at the iron-like object and said.

    "This is the thunder cannon that Zhaodi has been fascinated by for a long time."

    Sima Zhao responded, seeming to forget himself, pacing around, moving around the thunder cannon, looking as if he was fascinated.

    "This piece of iron has the power to destroy mountains and rocks?"

    Sima Zhao looked slightly shocked and couldn't help but feel suspicious, but he also thought that Wen Shun regarded him as a brother and sister, and as a human being, he would never deceive him.  Sima Zhao's heart tightened and he suddenly asked Wen Shun.

    "Brother, can I touch this thing?"

    Wen Shun nodded slightly, and Sima Zhao looked happy. He stretched out his hand to touch it, only to feel a chill. Then he slowly touched the tube of the thunder cannon, and was filled with surprise and doubt.  I saw Sima Zhao walking around the thunder cannon like a revolving lantern.  At this time, suddenly a thunderbolt roared from the sky and thunder flashed.  Sima Zhao thought that the thunder cannon was showing its power, so he made a sound and hurriedly backed away. His expression changed drastically and he was startled.  Wen Shun saw him, smiled, came over and said.

    "Brother Zhao, don't panic. This is just thunder from the sky."

    Sima Zhao lost countenance for a while, but when he heard this, he felt relieved and walked into the thunder cannon again to start looking at it.  At this time, a flying kite warrior rushed to Wen Shun's side and whispered so and so in his ear.  When Wen Shun heard this, his heart tightened, he nodded slightly, and then said to Sima Zhao.

    "This thunderstorm is coming, why not take a look at the power of this thunder cannon first, and then if Brother Zhao is free someday, we can take a closer look."

    Hearing this, Sima Zhao waved his hand, with a look of obsession on his face, and said subconsciously.

    "Brother, there is no need to worry, little brother is not afraid of this thunderstorm."

    Wen Shun smiled bitterly upon hearing this, shook his head and said.

    "Haha, brother Zhao, you have recovered from your serious illness, but it would be bad if you were infected with wind and cold."

    Sima Zhao frowned. He wanted to refuse again, but he felt the gazes of the Fei Yuan warriors around him.  Sima Zhao's heart tightened, so he reluctantly withdrew his gaze, stretched out his hand, turned around and cupped his hand to Wen Shun and smiled.

    "The elder brother is so concerned, how dare the younger brother be so ignorant."

    Wen Shun ignored Sima Zhao's joke. Hearing the thunder in the sky, he looked at a flying kite with a little eagerness.  Soon five or six flying kite soldiers rushed towards the thunder cannon and fiddled around.  Sima Zhao watched closely, fearing to miss even a small detail.  Seeing that Sima Zhao was fascinated, Wen Shun was afraid that he would fire his cannon later and accidentally injure Sima Zhao.  After loading the ammunition, Wen Shun taught Sima Zhao to step back three feet and cover his ears.  Although Sima Zhao was confused, he obeyed and stepped back three feet.  Soon, with a sudden sound like thunder, a burst of fire burst out from the mouth of the thunder cannon barrel.  Sima Zhao was startled. Before he could cover his ears, his ears roared. He saw a black round object shoot out from the fire. In a moment, it landed on a mound. In an instant, there was a flame, and the earth and rocks were covered with fire.  It shattered violently, flew into the sky, and soon the billowing smoke dispersed in all directions.  Sima Zhao was terrified when he saw it, as if he was stunned by the power of the thunder cannon.  I don't know if Sima Zhao's ears were still ringing. Wen Shun called several times from the side, but Sima Zhao didn't hear it.  At this moment, he withdrew his gaze and looked closely at the thunder cannon. He saw that the mouth of the tube was red and white smoke was coming out.  Sima Zhao seemed to have seen something, and tugged at Wen Shun's sleeves and said hastily.

    "I didn't see you just now, can you give me another shot?"

    "Okay. Brother Zhao, please wait a moment."

    Hearing this, Wen Shun seemed to respond to all requests from his brother Sima Zhao.  When Sima Zhao heard Wen Shun's words, his heart was turbulent and he was secretly happy.  After a while, the thunder cannon was fired again, with a loud thundering sound, and then I saw a place where earth and rocks were flying, and flames were shooting into the sky.  Sima Zhao anxiously waited for the thunder cannon to leave, but before he arrived, he felt a burning sensation.  The two Feiyuan warriors looked cold, but they stopped Sima Zhao.

    At this moment, the sky seemed to be angered by the two thunder cannons. Thunderbolts struck one after another, and heavy rain fell.  The heavy rain hit the thunder cannon, causing a harsh sound.  The faces of the flying kite soldiers changed drastically. They hurriedly put away the round objects on the ground, and then covered the thunder cannon with a large black cloth.  Under the thunder light, Sima Zhao's eyes seemed to be shining, and he watched closely the actions of the flying kite dead soldiers, with constant ripples in his heart.  Wen Shun hurried over and said with some concern.

    "Brother Zhao, the rain is coming down hard and you are not in good health. Please leave quickly with me. There will be a group of flying kites to take care of this thunder cannon."

    Wen Shun shouted in Sima Zhao¡¯s ear, and Sima Zhao fiercelyHe came back to his senses, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to have gained something, and nodded to Wen Shun.  The two of them mounted their horses one after another, hoping that Chang An would fly away.  But Wen Shun never expected that in the near future, because of today's events, he would almost destroy hundreds of thousands of Western Tang troops!

    Wen Shun and Sima Zhao returned to Chang'an and took shelter from the rain in Zuixian Tower.  Sima Zhao took a set of clean clothes and asked Wen Shun.  The two changed their clothes and rested in a side room.  The two brothers talked for a while, and Wen Shun suddenly said.

    "My eldest brother's wedding is coming soon, and there are still many chores to deal with. He is not allowed to leave the palace in these few days, so he cannot meet Zhaodi. Zhaodi, you have caught the cold today, so take a good rest. My eldest brother's wedding will be in five days. Can you  Don¡¯t miss it!¡±

    "Haha, that's natural. Even if I'm terminally ill, I will definitely come to my eldest brother's wedding banquet!! Don't worry, eldest brother."

    Sima Zhao smiled brightly and replied.  Wen Shun smiled bitterly, shook his head and said.
