A Gun
Actually, Ning Fu had heard a lot about these so-called 'guns' which were touted to be more powerful than spears or arrows and even swords and on a particularly rare occasion, he had even seen a gun on a battlefield a few years ago when he had captured an enemy general and confiscated his army camp.
However, he had never thought that he would see such a thing in his kingdom because most people in the dynasty – noblemen and commoners alike disdained the things that were made by foreigners and a gun was one such thing.
It was rumoured that it was made by the white people who lived on the far side of the ocean and that it was extremely expensive and cumbersome to take care of.
He wondered why the monarch even wanted something like that.
Was it just idle curiosity or was he planning something?
However, before he could think further on it, his thoughts were interrupted by the Head Commander.
