CHAPTER 1265: CHAPTER 1265: TESTING WEAPONS ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BEIJING, SHOCKING EVERYONE

For two hours, members of the Royal Family and civil and military officials came repeatedly to urge.

Seeing the last box of weapons carried away by the Imperial Guards, Xiao Jun’an and Huo Yuning walked out of the Ancestral Temple hand in hand.

At that time, the sun tilted westward.

The thousands of people who came with the troop this time had stood under the scorching sun for nearly a day, causing a few older officials to faint from the heat.

Xiao Jun’an was in a good mood, his handsome face revealing a rare, gentle smile.

He ordered Eunuch Anjin to have the Imperial Medical Institute’s physicians stay behind to take care of the fainting officials while he returned to the palace with Huo Yuning and the main contingent.

That night, outside the capital’s suburbs.

Huo Yuning personally assembled the weapons in front of Xiao Jun’an, Anjin, Mo Wanqing, and more than ten Imperial Guards.

These weapons were convenient to use and easy to handle, and her every step was clear for all nearby to see.

Ensuring they had learned, she held the Huo Family’s latest weaponry research in her hands, its black barrel aiming directly at a target not far away.

Her small and smooth fingertips rested on the trigger, and as Huo Yuning’s finger moved to pull it, she suddenly turned her head to look at Xiao Jun’an.

"Your Majesty, keep your eyes wide open!"

The next second, a resounding "bang" was heard.

The people closest to the sound felt their ears ache from the harsh gunshot.

Looking at the target not far away, it was shattered to pieces.

The most shocking part was that a tree over forty centimeters behind the target was penetrated.

There was a fist-sized hole in the center of the tree, emitting black smoke, clearly visible to everyone.

"This, this is too miraculous!"

Mo Wanqing, greatly interested in the gun in Huo Yuning’s hands, spoke with excitement, losing the composure he usually had, his voice trembling.

Huo Yuning casually tossed the weapon to Mo Wanqing, walking with steady steps towards Xiao Jun’an, whose face was filled with shock.

She lifted her proud chin, her smile beaming like a flower: "How about it? I didn’t lie to you, did I?"

All these were the weaponry of the Huo Family, which in the modern world was already extraordinary, not to mention in this ancient era, it would surely dominate.

In Xiao Jun’an’s deep eyes, there was a hint of excitement he was trying hard to suppress, his hand behind his back clenched tightly into a fist, unseen by others trembling.

He gazed deeply at Huo Yuning, his beautiful lips slowly parting: "The Empress indeed has not deceived me."

Huo Yuning raised her eyebrows, smiling deeply.

"Bang!"

Mo Wanqing got the hang of it.

He fired the second shot of the evening from his hands.

More than ten members of the Royal Family’s Hidden Guard could not resist the urge within their hearts.

With the Emperor’s nod of approval, they began to assemble their weapons one after another, eager to try out the power of this batch of weaponry.

What followed was a dozen men with weapons standing in a row, freely shooting in this open space outside the capital’s suburbs.

Huo Yuning walked to a wooden box not far away, taking out a big and round iron ball from inside.

"Your Majesty, please watch another great item."

What she held was a spherical grenade; this object was not to be underestimated.

Xiao Jun’an, sensing from Huo Yuning’s words that this was even more powerful, tried to nod casually with a pretense of composure.

Huo Yuning toyed with the exquisite item in her hand, explaining to Xiao Jun’an while preparing to throw.

"Your Majesty, this object is for close-range use. Soldiers with stronger arms should be selected to throw it into dense gathering spots of the enemy."

Next, she began to demonstrate.

The ring handle on the iron ball was pulled, and Huo Yuning used all her strength to throw it onto a small hillside fifty meters away.

"Cover your ears!"

Huo Yuning covered her own ears first, loudly warning everyone.

"Boom!"

With a loud boom!

The small hillside was blown into a large crater.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, your servant can’t hear anymore!"

Eunuch Anjin, staring at Mo Wanqing’s constantly moving mouth, cried with tears streaming down his face, inconsolable.
