Chapter 369 - 305, Assassination
With the escort of the Yulin Army, the Korean Crown Prince passed through the Imperial Palace from the left side of the Imperial Gate.
The Princely Heir, who had traveled a long distance, couldn’t help but look around the palace with a longing expression.
An official from the Honglu Temple reminded him, "Princely Heir, do not gawp around."
The Korean Crown Prince sighed, "How can one avoid observing such a grand palace? I used to think that Jingfu Palace in Han City was one of the most magnificent places under the heavens. But now, upon seeing this Daning Imperial Palace, I understand what it means for imperial power to be granted by heaven and the dignity of the Heavenly Family."
Hearing this, the Honglu Temple official beamed immediately and stopped interfering, "Naturally."
Circumventing the Imperial Extreme Hall and Central Extreme Hall, the group awaited the Emperor Ning’s ascent to the throne outside Jianji Hall.
Chen Ji silently surveyed the surroundings, pondering where Wu Yun, who had disappeared upon entering the palace last night, might be hiding now? Had he encountered some danger, causing him to hide and remain dormant?
Just at this moment, another group of armored soldiers appeared from the east. Their helmets were adorned with red pheasant tails, and they held firearms, striding with the bearing of dragons and tigers. As they passed by the Yulin Army, they only cast a sidelong glance before returning their gaze.
Qi Zhenzhuo whispered in envy, "Divine Machine Camp!"
Chen Ji turned to look, examining the handguns of the Divine Machine Camp. These handguns consisted of a simple front chamber, pharmacy, firing gate cover, and tail mortise, far from resembling the "firearms" of later generations and more like a large, peculiar copper flute.
He pondered, these handguns ultimately did not match the range and accuracy of bird guns, and their stability when shooting on horseback was extremely low, not convenient... but they were effective enough in defensive formations to repel cavalry. A salvo from such an army could not easily be dodged even by a Grand Official of the Seeking Dao Realm.
