The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 354
Chapter 354: Wei Wei’s Trump Card Battle Squad
Chi Yan did not kneel down. Instead, he stood in front of Helian Wei Wei and silently raised the flag from the schoolyard with one hand. He was clad in a military uniform, looking sleek and impressive.
When his eyes met with Helian Wei Wei’s, they were deep as the sea and dark as the night.
At that moment, thousands of soldiers shouted excitedly behind him.
Helian Wei Wei realized that this man had an extraordinary influence in the hidden army.
Later, she would hear about his background from Old Master Hei.
Helian Wei Wei found out that he was the one who was personally invited to the palace by the Emperor. At the mere age of 17, he won against the eldest son of the mighty royal Chi Family in hunting practice.
No wonder he had such an imposing existence.
Helian Wei Wei smiled faintly.
However, she discovered that Chi Yan had been staring at her with ambiguous eyes.
Helian Wei Wei looked at him and raised her eyebrows.
When Chi Yan passed by her, he sneered, “You don’t seem to remember anything.”
Wait a minute. What should she remember?
Helian Wei Wei furrowed her brows, wondering what was happening.
However, Old Master Hei did not hear anything. He patted her on the shoulder, a bright look breaking through his serious expression, “Girl, you did well!”
“Thanks.” Helian Wei Wei simply smiled. Then, she appeared to have remembered something, and inquired, “I have one more thing to discuss with you. Should we go into the tent and talk?”
Old Master Hei nodded his head.
Chi Yan simply glanced at Helian Wei Wei.
They sat down inside the military tent and made some hot tea.
Helian Wei Wei was an outspoken person who could not hide her curiosity. As she looked at Chi Yan’s cold and handsome face, she thought for a moment and asked, “Master Chi, were you secretly in love with me in the past?”
A splutter suddenly sounded!
Old Master Hei spat out a mouthful of tea and coughed heavily.
Chi Yan’s handsome face partially darkened. “That’s what you wanted to say?”
“Of course not.” Observing his expression, Helian Wei Wei added, “I just don’t want any misunderstandings between us.”
The smile on Chi Yan’s lips became colder. “What misunderstandings can we possibly have?”
Helian Wei Wei bit her thin lips and laughed. “It’s good if there is none.”
Chi Yan simply looked at her, but he did find her a little interesting. Then, he asked Old Master Hei, “She even lost her memory?”
Old Master Hei knitted his eyebrows as well.
Helian Wei Wei knew that her memory was incomplete. “I hit my head when I sank under the lake that day. I can remember some things, but I also lost a lot of my memory.”
“Really?” Chi Yan’s narrow eyes darted toward her.
Helian Wei Wei nodded. “You can tell me now. Did we have any misunderstandings before?”
“I can’t.” Chi Yan’s tone was indifferent, “Forget it.”
Helian Wei Wei was rendered speechless…
Old Master Hei looked at both of them and began to laugh.
Since he refused to tell her, Helian Wei Wei did not press on the issue. However, one thing was certain. This man truly could never get along with her.
However, he was a trustworthy person that could handle important matters.
With a grin on her face, Helian Wei Wei said, “I will have a batch of weapons sent to me a few days later. When I receive them, I want to modify them and then let the hidden army soldiers be familiar with operating these weapons as soon as possible.”
Change weapons? Old Master Hei obviously disapproved of this idea.
Chi Yan spoke coldly, “Everyone in the Hidden Army has their own unique weapons, so new weapons are not needed.”
Helian Wei Wei merely smiled after hearing his reply.
Old Master Hei assumed that she hated the reply, and consoled her, “Girl, you just joined the army not long ago so you’re not familiar with these people. Each of them has their own personality. They would not be accustomed to it if you suddenly switched their weapons. Let’s forget about it. Since your martial arts is impressive, why don’t you help them strengthen their foundation in weapon fighting instead?”
Helian Wei Wei listened quietly and smiled, “I know, but my weapon is different from the others.”
Having said that, Helian Wei Wei stood up and glanced at the bats flying past the tent.
Suddenly, she raised her left arm, holding a small pistol in her hand, parallel to her line of sight. She slightly squinted her eyes and her pose was unbelievably impressive.
Bang!
A gunshot rang through the air!
The bat fell down from the air and landed in front of the military tent, traces of blood staining its body.
Old Master Hei was stunned as he could not believe his eyes. How did she shoot the bat down from such a long distance, using such a tiny object, without bow or arrow?
Chi Yan glanced at the bat lying beside the tent. The bat was completely lifeless. The weapon did possess great lethality.
Old Master Hei looked at it curiously and asked, “Wei Wei, what kind of dark weapon is this?” Why hasn’t he seen it before?
“It’s not a dark weapon, it’s a pistol. However, the weapons I sent here were not only pistols.” With a smirk on her face, Helian Wei Wei continued, “For example, Da Xiong specialized in fighting with heavy weapons. When the whole batch of weapons is completed, I will specially equip him with a strafe cannon. A single shot from the cannon could easily bring down half of the city wall.”
“Half of the city wall?” Old Master Hei was completely astounded when he heard the last sentence. “This little thing really has such great power?”
Weighing the gun in her hand, Helian Wei Wei replied, “It still needs further improvement. After I have modified it, it would definitely be possible.”
As the queen of firearms from the 21st century, Helian Wei Wei knew how impactful these would be in the cold weapons era.
She wanted more than just a hidden army.
She wanted to select the most elite soldiers and form a trump card battle squad in the hidden army.
This group of mercenaries must be faster than anyone and could turn defeat into victories. They would be absolutely invincible, conquering large cities as though they were as defenseless as a deserted land.
It would be an unspeakable and impressive sight when they unleashed their long guns and cannons upon thousands of enemy soldiers.
They could fearlessly defeat anyone with her firearms. They could even receive missions and earn some money.
At the thought of this, the smile on Helian Wei Wei’s grew.
In ancient times, it was easy to defend the city but difficult to attack it. If they had an elite team, it would definitely reverse the situation!
Naturally, Old Master Hei knew how powerful it was. Holding the teacup, his hands trembled at the thought of it.
Chi Yan’s angular side face tilted slightly. Then, he reached out and took the pistol Helian Wei Wei was holding in her hand. He put it near his nose tip and sniffed, frowning slightly, “This is the smell of gun powder?”
“That’s right.” Helian Wei Wei’s narrow eyes sparkled with moonlight and she looked very impressive, “Thus, you need to buy a lot of gun powder materials as well as heat-resistant metal. This matter requires absolute secrecy.”
Chi Yan looked at her indifferently, and asked her a vital question she would rather not answer, “How do you know how to make this kind of thing?”
Of course, Helian Wei Wei would not confess that she traveled through time.
They would definitely think that she was possessed by a demon and burnt her to death.
With a serious look on her face, she said, “I didn’t want to talk about it. Since you asked, then I would tell you that…”
