Chapter 96

As Lin Yuan took out his gun and moved to the shooting position, Liu Kunyi's eyes never left the gun. He had never seen such a pistol before. The elegant gun body shimmered with a blue light, which was the result of the bluing process. The bluing process is used to prevent corrosion by forming a dense oxide layer on the surface of the steel.

At the referee's command, Lin Yuan raised the gun in his hand. As soon as the gun fired, Liu Kunyi silently counted the shots, calculating the number of bullets: "One, two, three... six." Liu Kunyi's heart trembled, "His gun has more bullets than mine."

Just as Liu Kunyi thought Lin Yuan would stop to reload, the gun fired again. Liu Kunyi continued counting: "Seven, eight..." The more he counted, the more anxious he became. He sighed, "How many bullets can this gun hold?"

When Liu Kunyi counted to twenty, Lin Yuan stopped shooting. He pressed the gun handle, and a magazine was ejected. He quickly reloaded another magazine, a process that took no more than three seconds. Then he fired another rapid burst, firing thirty bullets in one minute, with a total score of 256 points.

Everyone present was stunned, amazed by both the performance of the pistol and Lin Yuan's marksmanship!

Liu Kunyi stood up, sighed, and said, "Lord Lin, I have been defeated."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Lord Liu, there's no need for that. I think we should discuss the deployment of troops tomorrow."

Liu Kunyi, having lost the competition, could only nod helplessly.

At this moment, a military officer walked in, holding a bundle. He approached Liu Kunyi and said, "Lord Liu, this is from Lord Lin's servant. It's said to be from Lady Guan for Lord Lin."

Liu Kunyi's worries vanished, and he laughed heartily, handing the bundle to Lin Yuan. He said, "Lord Lin, you are young and talented, and you have a beautiful lady who cares for you. I truly envy you!"

Lin Yuan took the bundle with some embarrassment and felt that it contained a cotton coat. Liu Kunyi smiled and said, "Lord Wu and Lord Song are not here today. When they return tomorrow, we will discuss the deployment of troops."

Lin Yuan agreed and left the training ground. Chen Fei laughed and said, "Why don't you go home and spend time with your lady? Look how much she cares for you. She's much better than Shen Wanqing."

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "If you fancy Lady Guan, I can give her to you."

Chen Fei laughed and said, "There's a poem that goes, 'Once you have seen the vast sea, no other water can satisfy.' Let's not talk about this anymore..."

When Lin Yuan returned to the residence granted by Empress Dowager Cixi, it was already dusk. Guan, upon seeing Lin Yuan return, was as happy as a bird returning to its nest, bustling about and not stopping for a moment.

After a while, Guan said, "Lord, I have prepared your bath. Please go and bathe."

Lin Yuan was about to refuse when he saw Guan take out a new set of clothes and smile. "You can bathe in the inner room. Take the new clothes with you and change after you bathe. Call me when you're done, and I'll wait in the outer room."

Lin Yuan placed the box containing the gun on the table. He was worried that Guan might touch it and get hurt, so he thought about telling her not to touch it. But then he thought, "How can I explain to her that there's a gun in the box and that she shouldn't touch it? If she asks what a gun is, it will be complicated to explain."

So Lin Yuan deliberately put on an authoritative air and sternly said, "Don't touch this box. If you dare to touch it, I will punish you severely."

Guan had never seen Lin Yuan speak to her so sternly before. She felt wronged and nodded in fear. Lin Yuan felt a bit guilty and thought he would comfort her later.

As Lin Yuan entered the bathroom, he hadn't even finished undressing when he heard a loud gunshot from the outer room.

It turned out that Guan, seeing Lin Yuan forbid her from touching the box, thought it must contain some secret. She opened the box while Lin Yuan was in the bathroom. Inside was a gun she had never seen before. She couldn't resist picking it up and playing with it, and in the process, she accidentally released the safety.

Lin Yuan had just finished his shooting competition with Liu Kunyi, and there were still bullets in the magazine. Guan, holding the gun and examining it, accidentally pulled the trigger, and a bullet shot through her calf.

The powerful recoil made her small hand unable to hold the gun, and it flew out of her hand.

At that moment, Lin Yuan burst into the room. He was terrified when he heard the gunshot, fearing that it might have hit Guan in a vital spot. When he saw that her head and torso were unharmed, he was relieved.

Guan fell to her knees, head bowed, and said, "I deserve to die! Please spare me, Lord Lin! I shouldn't have touched your things, and I will never do it again."

Lin Yuan, hearing Guan's voice, thought she was just scared and didn't realize she was injured. He said, "You're fine, get up."

Lin Yuan picked up the gun from the floor, removed the bullet from the chamber, took out the magazine, and re-engaged the safety. Seeing that Guan hadn't gotten up, he smiled and said, "Get up. I was just scaring you."

Guan, with a bullet wound in her leg, couldn't stand up. Lin Yuan, seeing the sweat on her forehead, realized something was wrong. He quickly went to her side, and as soon as he touched her shoulder, she collapsed into his arms, sobbing.

Lin Yuan, seeing the wound on her leg, was shocked. He quickly picked her up, laid her on the bed, and used scissors to cut her pants, exposing the wound.

Seeing the wound, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was a 5.8mm bullet, and the close range meant it had passed through the muscle of her calf without hitting the bone or major arteries, leaving a relatively small wound. Lin Yuan thought, "This wound is manageable."

Lin Yuan took a jar of alcohol from the shelf and said, "Bear with it." He poured the alcohol on the wound, and Guan screamed in pain. Lin Yuan couldn't find any bandages, so he tore a piece of cloth from his clothes to bandage the wound. Then he comforted her, "It's okay, your injury isn't serious. You'll be fine in a few days."

Guan, who had expected Lin Yuan to punish her for touching his things, was moved by his concern and care. She said, "Lord, there's something I want to tell you."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Guan was about to reveal that Empress Dowager Cixi had asked her to spy on Lin Yuan, but then she thought that if she told him, he would be angry and wouldn't be so kind to her. But if she didn't tell him, she would feel guilty. As she struggled with this dilemma, the pain in her wound seemed to intensify, and she started to cry.

Lin Yuan had to use all his skills to comfort her, and it was almost dawn before the pain from the gunshot wound subsided, and Guan finally fell asleep. Watching her sleep, Lin Yuan thought, "After these two days, Jiang Guiti and Liu Kunyi's group should no longer cause me trouble. The next step is to deploy troops. There are two enemies in Northeast China: Japan and Russia. Should we attack Japan first or Russia?"
