The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 1044 Petrified on the spot!

Henry's fingers trembled slightly as he stared at Gong Qianyu, stammering, "You...you...where did you get this musket? Have you been to the continent of Luoba?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Qianyu raised an eyebrow, a nonchalant smile curving his lips. He chuckled softly and said leisurely, "Heh, do you think only your Luoba Continent can manufacture these muskets? You underestimate our Yuzhou Continent too much."

"What?!" Henry was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair, almost knocking it over. He grabbed the musket that Gong Qianyu had placed on the table and turned to Joliv and the others, babbling on and on.

The blue-eyed, blond-haired men stared at the musket in Henry's hand and listened to his explanation, all frozen in place, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They examined the muskets, which were far more refined than their own, and were utterly bewildered. This… this continent of Yuzhou actually possessed such advanced technology? These muskets were far more sophisticated than theirs, and their range was undoubtedly much greater.

Ouyang Yunyao, Chu Chenjing, Han Fengli, and Chu Feng were all quite surprised by Gong Qianyu's actions. They hadn't expected Gong Qianyu to suddenly bring out his treasure to intimidate the people of the Luo Ba Continent.

They exchanged glances, but none of them showed any surprise.

In fact, Gong Qianyu had previously revealed to Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing that he was from Nangong City, and that Nangong City could manufacture firearms.

Before the New Year, Ouyang Yunyao inquired with him about whether Nangong City had sold firearms to Danyan Kingdom, but that's another story.

After a long while, Joliv and the others reluctantly put down their muskets and looked away from them.

Joliv glanced at Chu Chenjing and the others, then looked at Gong Qianyu: "Lord Gong, your muskets are indeed better made than ours."

He no longer cared about the power of the musket; he knew that the Yuzhou Continent was not to be underestimated.

He was extremely fortunate that their Kingdom of Lorian had found the continent of Yuzhou first, and had also made good relations with the Kingdom of Western Chu ahead of time.

Ouyang Yunyao translated Prince Joliv's words to Gong Qianyu. After listening, Gong Qianyu looked at Ouyang Yunyao, raised his chin, and said proudly, "Of course!" His eyes were clearly showing that he was taking credit for his master.

After saying that, he quickly put away the musket and played with it in his hand as if it were an ordinary toy.

At this moment, Ouyang Yunyao remembered something, looked at Qiao Lifu and the others who were still in a daze, and said to them in fluent Rhoba, "Your Highness, I just heard you mention that the large ship you brought here also carries cannons?"

Upon hearing this, Jolief perked up a bit. "That's right," he thought, "they have large ships with cannons on board. That's something to be proud of." He nodded, "Princess Jing, that's true. We have cannons on our ships."

He was still thinking, "Hurry up and ask! Hurry up and ask! Ask us what kind of artillery it is, then I can proudly give you a description."

Ouyang Yunyao did not grant his wish, but instead asked, "Oh, Your Highness, may I ask, what is the range of your cannons?"

As soon as Ouyang Yunyao finished speaking, Joelif, Brian, and the others were all taken aback. They took a second look at the slender and beautiful princess.

Admiration filled their eyes. This delicate woman was so knowledgeable about firearms, even asking military jargon. They wondered if the Western Chu Kingdom also possessed cannons. Little did they know, they had actually guessed the truth!

Jolief composed himself and replied seriously, "Princess Jing, the range of the cannons on our ship is about three hundred meters."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunyao nodded and smiled calmly, "Three hundred meters, the range is not bad!"

After speaking, he turned and whispered a few words to Chu Chenjing. Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Chu Chenjing's eyes. His gaze swept over the blond men present, including Joliv, and he said:

"Your Highness, you have traveled across the ocean to come to my Western Chu Kingdom and have the good fortune to meet us. We will therefore regard you as our friends in Western Chu."

But I have one rule: the muskets and cannons in your hands must never harm the people of our Yuzhou continent.

Qiao Lifu was already bewildered when Princess Jing said, "Three hundred meters, the range is not bad." He was already certain that the Western Chu Kingdom must have cannons, and now he suddenly heard Princess Jing repeating Prince Jing's words to them.

“Your Highness Prince Jing, you can rest assured!” Qiao Lifu quickly responded, and said sincerely, “We are fortunate to have come to the Yuzhou Continent, and we have also become friends with Your Highness Prince Jing and all of you present. I assure you that we will never harm the people.”

He paused for a moment and then said, "We very much want to have friendly relations with your Western Chu Kingdom and exchange trade." At this moment, he was only thinking about bringing back novel items from the Western Chu Kingdom, which would surely earn him a great deal of credit in front of his father, thus enabling them to maintain long-term relations.

Chu Chenjing's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he slowly said, "In that case, I will certainly not let His Highness leave empty-handed."

Jolif and the others' eyes lit up instantly, almost unable to believe their ears: "Your Highness Prince Jing, is this true?"

"I always keep my word," Chu Chenjing paused slightly, "but I have one request."

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"I know you have muskets, cannons, and fire mines, but once you engage in trade with my Western Chu Kingdom, we will also provide you with some good goods. In that case, you will not be allowed to sell your weapons to any country on our Yuzhou Continent."

After a moment's hesitation, Joliv raised his eyes and said frankly, "Your Highness Prince Jing, I swear that such a thing will never happen in the next few years. Our kingdom is in dire need of weapons, and there is no way we can have any extras to transport to the Yuzhou continent."

He paused, then looked sincerely at Chu Chenjing and said, "If many years later, we have a sufficient supply of weapons, as long as I and the rest of you are still alive, we will definitely inform you in advance."

The other blond men also nodded solemnly in agreement.

Chu Chenjing achieved his goal, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "That's good!"

Regarding the items you previously asked us to help you sell, we will discuss them as soon as possible. Rest assured, we will definitely give you a fair price.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Jing!" Qiao Lifu and the others quickly expressed their gratitude.

"The King and Queen have private matters to attend to tomorrow, and the Crown Prince will inform His Highness the Prince and others of the results of their discussions. If you all approve, the Crown Prince will handle the follow-up matters on your behalf."

Upon hearing this, Joliffe and his companions finally breathed a sigh of relief, their faces breaking into happy smiles. They quickly stood up and bowed again to express their gratitude.
