The Full-Leveled Healer Transmigrates to a Real and Fake Rich Daughter Story

148 Jealousy

“Phew—Phew—”

The cold wind howled, and the air was filled with the thick smell of blood. The smell of blood drilled into everyone’s noses, making them want to vomit.

Apart from the smell of blood, there was also a pungent smell of gunpowder that lingered.

Gu Yanfei rubbed her nose and silently praised him in her heart. His marksmanship was not bad.

How could this be?! Baili Yin’s eyes widened in shock. His right hand tightened on the reins, and the smile on his usually playful and handsome face disappeared.

The black horse beneath him raised its legs in shock and whinnied.

Baili Yin clearly felt a burning pain in his left ear, reminding him of what had just happened.

He turned slowly and looked up. More than 200 feet away, Chu Yi, who was on the mountainside, seemed to be at the top of the clouds. He held the reins elegantly in one hand and a black flintlock in the other.

Wisps of white smoke rose from the dark muzzle.

Everyone’s gaze turned from the tiger corpse to Chu Yi and the flintlock gun in his hand. There was a bright red cat paw mark on the gun that looked like blood but was not.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Everyone’s hearts were still pounding from the gunshot.

Some were shocked, while others were pleasantly surprised.

For a moment, there was silence except for the sound of the wind.

Baili Yin looked up at Chu Yi on the mountainside and was momentarily distracted.

The young man in a moon-white robe faced the cold wind, his face calm, and his clothes fluttering in the wind.

He lowered his eyes and looked down, as if he was looking at the tiger or Baili Yin. His dark phoenix eyes were clear and calm, like a lake in winter, or a deep and bottomless valley.

Chu You also looked at Chu Yi in a daze. His narrow eagle eyes were filled with bewilderment, and his thin lips were pursed tightly. He did not even know when the horse whip in his hand had left his hand.

“Ahem.”

Another gust of cold wind blew fiercely. Chu Yi lowered his head, put his fist to his lips, and coughed heavily. His shoulders trembled slightly, unable to hide his weakness.

He handed the flintlock to Si Hai again. A wisp of white smoke still floated from the muzzle.

Baili Yin’s burning gaze shifted from Chu Yi to the flintlock. His eyes were red, and he could not bear to blink.

His thick chest heaved rapidly, and the emotions in his heart surged several times, from shock to ecstasy to greed… to determination.

He had crossed the river to the State of Jin on the orders of the Sage for the blueprint of the flintlock.

Their State of Yue had mastered matchlocks as early as 60 years ago, and the country was thriving. Meanwhile, the Qi Kingdom in the north had declined due to corruption, and there were continuous uprisings everywhere. It was not until more than 50 years ago that Chu Jin led the army and rebelled, overturning the Qi Kingdom with irresistible force and establishing the current State of Jin.

At that time, the new state had just been established, and the soldiers of the State of Jin were exhausted.

The Sage of the State of Yue at that time had wanted to take the opportunity to send his army north and unify the north and south in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Chu Jin had personally improved his musket.

From then on, a new flintlock was born. It was far more convenient and powerful than a matchlock, and could be said to be a divine weapon.

Chu Jin established the Divine Arms Battalion and equipped tens of thousands of soldiers with flintlocks, causing a huge setback in the State of Yue.

Since then, the State of Yue and State of Jin had been governed by two separate rivers. It had been a confrontation for decades.

It was not until Chu Jin passed away 20 years ago and the second Emperor of the State of Jin, Chu Luo, ascended the throne that the State of Yue once again thought of annexing the State of Jin. 14 years ago, 8 years ago, they launched two surprise attacks on the State of Jin.

No one expected another talented Marquis of Dingyuan, Gu Ce, to appear.

Gu Ce was like a divine general who had descended from the sky and helped the State of Jin win with his own strength.

The State of Yue’s army had been blocked by Gu Ce in Yangzhou twice. It had been like this 14 years ago and eight years ago…

Now that Gu Ce was dead and the huge problem had been resolved, there was still something in the State of Jin that made the State of Yue wary—

The flintlock.

It was not difficult to obtain a flintlock. The State of Yue had also used various methods to obtain a few flintlocks and tried to disassemble them. However, after trying countless times, they still could not replicate them.

It was also for this reason that they were determined to obtain the blueprint for the flintlock.

Only by completely mastering the flintlock would the State of Yue be 100% confident of taking down the State of Jin in one go.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Baili Yin’s eyes became hotter and more urgent. His heart beat faster like a drum.

From what he had seen today, the flintlock in Chu Yi’s hand was more than twice as powerful as the one he knew. Just one shot had killed a fierce tiger.
