Chapter 229 Gunpowder
Chapter 229 Gunpowder
An Yi walked in and brought some letters.
There were reports from the secret guards and news about Wang Huaijin, and he brought them all in.
However, An Yi still glanced at Liu Rumei. After all, the prince was very jealous, and there was no telling whether he would make a fuss this time.
To be fair, although Wang Huaijin is not as good as their prince, he is excellent in all aspects.
This young man is not only good at studying and handsome, but he also knows how to control floods!
If it weren't for the fact that the prince liked Miss Liu, to be honest, these two people would seem like a match made in heaven and are really a good match.
Liu Rumei looked at the letter in front of her and became a little anxious. She was also worried about the situation in the south.
She just wants to live here peacefully, so this place can't be like the end of the world.
If she wants to live a good life, the world must not be in chaos, and she will not allow it!
"How about the south?!"
Seeing that she was so anxious, Tang Mingchen took the initiative to give her Wang Huaijin's letter.
"Come and see."
Liu Rumei looked at Tang Mingchen. This guy really changed and became more generous.
"Okay."
Liu Rumei opened the letter, holding her breath, and only relaxed her brow after she finished reading it.
“They dug up the river bank, arranged flood discharge areas, and resettled the people.
Judging from the current situation, it should be fine. As long as other places are not flooded, this time we have successfully saved the large fields in the south."
Tang Mingchen also had a smile on his face. This was really good news.
Liu Rumei put down the letter and opened the letter from the eldest master of the Zhou family.
"My uncle described it in more detail in the letter. He said that Wang Huaijin actually took a big risk this time, even risking his life.
Moreover, my uncle also said that they still had a lot of food left over from the food they brought this time, enough for 30,000 people to survive this crisis.
By the way, the Zhou family gave 150,000 taels of silver, which is worth it."
When Liu Rumei said this, Tang Mingchen felt that it made sense.
Anyway, when it comes to the matter of money, they just need to listen to Liu Rumei.
"However, the secret guard said one thing, that is, the thing that blew up the dam..."
Tang Mingchen looked at Liu Rumei. He was not there at the time, so naturally he didn't know how powerful she was.
But being able to destroy a riverbank in an instant shocked the secret guards. This must be an extraordinary power.
He was also curious, but if Mei'er didn't want to tell him, then forget it. He didn't have to know.
"You want to ask about gunpowder?"
"gunpowder?"
"Yes, it's the gunpowder used to set off fireworks. It's very beautiful when it's made into fireworks, but it's a little different when it's made into a gunpowder bag.
If you are interested, I can take you to see it. I asked them to store a lot of gunpowder.
Let me put it this way, everyone now doesn’t know what this gunpowder is used for. They don’t know either. I was preparing to make gunpowder bags, but I thought it was used to make fireworks.”
When Liu Rumei said this, Tang Mingchen didn't know how to respond.
She hid such an important matter so well. If she wanted to keep it secret any longer, I would definitely not know about it.
Fortunately, Mei'er still liked him and had no intention of hiding it from him.
Thinking of this, Tang Mingchen felt sweet in his heart, as if he had eaten honey.
Look, Mei'er really treats me differently!
Liu Rumei watched Tang Mingchen's expression change several times. She couldn't help but feel a little worried. Would this guy think too much?
In fact, it is right to think too much. I did deliberately hide it from him at the beginning.
Not to mention hiding it from him, she also deliberately kept it a secret from the workers because she didn't want to reveal these things too early.
Gunpowder is too dangerous.
She could control herself and conquer the world without using gunpowder, but how could she trust others?
No matter who it is, as long as they have such a powerful thing in their hands, wouldn't they have the ambition to conquer the world?
She did so much just to live comfortably here and prevent any major chaos from happening in the world.
But if gunpowder is not used properly, it will backfire and cause big trouble for yourself!
So she originally wanted to keep it a secret and didn't plan to tell anyone, but now, she has changed her mind.
This man, she wanted to try to trust.
Of course, if Tang Mingchen really let her down, she would definitely not show mercy.
She now uses spiritual spring water to nourish his body every day, hoping that the detoxification process will reduce the impact on him.
But if he hurt her heart, then she would also use poison and would never show mercy.
"Want to take a look?"
"Okay!" Tang Mingchen replied.
The two went up the mountain together, and Tang Mingchen discovered something.
This mountain is full of secrets, and the higher you go, the bigger the secrets are.
What surprised him most before was the fine steel crossbow made by Liu Rumei, which had amazing destructive power.
And now, there is an unexpected surprise on top of the crossbow.
"Is this gunpowder?"
Tang Mingchen looked at the packaging of the gunpowder. It looked nothing special. What was the outer layer wrapped around it? Was it thick oil paper?
"Yes, this is gunpowder. Do you want to see its power?"
Liu Rumei's eyes sparkled, just like the expression she had every time she ate something delicious.
"Mei'er, is this explosive very powerful?"
"You'll know once you see it!"
Liu Rumei was like a child who was eager to show off her toys. She just wanted to see Tang Mingchen's surprised expression.
Tang Mingchen naturally saw what she was thinking.
His face was full of anticipation, and Liu Rumei had people bury the gunpowder on the top of the hill, leaving a long fuse.
"What is this?" Tang Mingchen asked curiously.
"Use a tinder to light the fuse, and there will be a surprise for you."
Tang Mingchen did as he was told and saw the fuse was quickly lit.
The fuse ignites very quickly, the flame is very small, and it flies like a snake.
The next moment, several masters covered their ears and got ready.
With a loud bang, the whole mountain was shaking.
Tang Mingchen indeed did not expect that it would be so powerful.
He looked carefully and found that a huge rock had been shattered. The broken rocks hit the surrounding area and broke the surrounding small trees.
He was a general, so he could naturally see how powerful this thing would be if used on the battlefield.
"Mei'er! Is this... so powerful?"
"so so."
Liu Rumei quietly showed off her power. She really felt that it was just average.
After all, if she improved it a little, this thing could be turned into a grenade or a barrel of explosives.
But she didn't want to do that. She didn't want to tell the world about something so lethal.
There were more than a dozen masters who made gunpowder, and they were also stunned.
They didn't know that the gunpowder they dealt with day and night could have such power.
Miss Liu had demonstrated the power of gunpowder to them once before, but it was just a small explosion and they realized the danger.
So they are always careful, just for fear that this thing will explode
But after watching it today, they all doubted whether they had been lucky enough to survive!
