Chapter 56 Who? Who?

The man looked to be about thirty years old, wearing imperial guard armor, and had an ordinary-looking face.

Meng Jian couldn't even remember his name, he just felt that he looked familiar, which meant that he didn't hold any military position.

The wanton laughter stopped, and he looked across at the other side with a burning gaze, "Thank you for your silent dedication. What's your name?"

The soldier pondered in silence, but a suppressed coldness could be seen in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was not in a good mood at the moment.

"Okay," Meng Jian shrugged and got straight to the point, "There are Xuanji Guards hiding in the dark around here, just like you.

I need a small favor from you. Keep them away from the barrier lake until dredging is complete."

The soldier said coldly, "I am only responsible for guarding, I am not under your command."

Meng Jian patted his shoulder and raised the dagger again.

"I understand, I understand, but you can't just watch me die, right?

It's just a small favor. I promise to keep it a secret. From now on, we can pretend we don't know each other. How about that?"

The words were spoken in a negotiating tone, but the dagger did not move at all, still pointing straight at his chest.

His eyes were extremely firm, indicating that he was not joking.

The soldier lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on the bleeding wound.

After a few breaths, he exhaled a long breath, "This won't happen again."

"Okay!"

When he left, he was much gentler than when he came in. The curtain was lifted a little, and then the soldier disappeared.

Qin Zhaoyue was stunned and quickly asked Sui Mo beside him, "What grade is this?"

"At least fourth rank."

There are not many trees around the impounded lake, and the nearest grove is thirty meters away.

A breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and then...

when!

The sound of metal clashing was heard, and two figures appeared and disappeared in the forest. Within a few breaths, they had exchanged more than ten moves.

After the attack stopped, the two men separated.

On the left was the soldier who had just been forced to reveal his identity, and on the right... the man in green clothes and a veil was the Xuanji Guard.

"Yaoguang" held a water-repelling sword as thin as a cicada's wing, his eyes were cold and distant, but his words were like a clear spring.

"Meng Family's Death Guard, what do you want to do?"

The Xuanji Guards monitor the entire world, and their knowledge is unmatched by ordinary people. They can judge the identity of the visitor simply by looking at the fighting techniques.

But the Death Guard did not respond and rushed forward again with his sword.

The two men were equally strong, and the Meng family's martial arts were powerful and reckless. Yaoguang was temporarily at a disadvantage under the attack and was forced to move away from the grove.

At the entrance of the tent, the fifth prince was stunned.

The strong wind came and the gentle breeze went away. He seemed to catch a glimpse of someone passing by, but he was not sure.

Then he heard some words coming from inside, which should be what Commander Meng said, and he even laughed wildly.

It looked so intense and interesting, but why couldn't he be a part of it?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously took a step forward, and then encountered an invisible wall of Qi.

Damn it!

In the tent, Meng Jian once again enveloped the surroundings with his true energy.

The bleeding from his chest had stopped, and he tore off his undershirt, wrapped it around his chest twice, and tied it up, and that was it.

Qin Zhaoyue stroked his forehead.

It would be fine if the wound wasn't disinfected, but the underwear was covered in sweat and dust. Can it be used as a bandage?

Although he is indeed very handsome, the tent feels filled with the smell of hormones.

"It should be OK now."

Qin Zhaoyue immediately gave a thumbs up, "Stupid [beep...]"

Meng Jian:?

"Did she curse? Did she curse?"

Meng Jian felt wronged. He had made such great sacrifices, so why was he still cursing?

Qin Zhaoqiong and Sui Mo didn't say a word, so couldn't anyone tell whether they were cursing or not?

Qin Zhaoyue did curse.

To be honest, she really couldn't understand why someone could force others to do something by sacrificing their own life.

"Alright, time is short and the mission is heavy. Commander Meng, come closer and don't forget to use your Qi to isolate yourself."

"Wait a minute!" Qin Zhaoqiong was puzzled. "Sixth sister, we have all sworn an oath, why won't you let us listen?"

Qin Zhaoyue waved her hand. "I just want you to know about this. Of course, the fewer people who know the formula, the better."

Although she did not agree with Meng Jian's approach, she felt that she could keep a secret from such a ruthless man who would pull a knife on herself at any time.

Meng Jian straightened his chest, walked to the Sixth Princess, and waved his hand to cast another Qi blockade.

In order to match Qin Zhaoyue's height, he turned sideways and bent down to get closer.

Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help swallowing. This angle was just right to see his strong chest muscles.

She suspected that the male Bodhisattva did it on purpose, but she had no evidence.

"Seventy-five percent saltpeter, ten percent sulfur, and fifteen percent charcoal."

Meng Jian took note of it carefully, but after waiting for two breaths there was no movement.

He calculated in his head: 75%, 10%, 15%. That’s not right. Isn’t this complete?

"It's... that simple?"

Qin Zhaoyue rolled her eyes and said, "Do you understand what true teaching means? In a word, of course it feels easy to tell you the result.

I warn you, it looks simple, but mixing it up can be deadly."

Having said this, she deliberately walked around to the front and said with an extremely solemn expression:

"Don't even mention you, a fifth-rank warrior. Even if it was that expert just now, if he accidentally detonated it, he would definitely end up with no remains left.

The combination of these three things is very unstable, so you have to be extremely careful."

With his head tilted up and his face tense and solemn, Meng Jian also unconsciously became serious, "Don't worry, I won't have to."

Seeing that he answered seriously, Qin Zhaoyue nodded, "Your task is the most important.

To maintain maximum confidentiality, all materials must only pass through you.

If you want to succeed at once, you must prepare enough.

In addition, to prevent the formula from being leaked, you can create confusion and collect seven or eight other materials.

Even if it's those three types, don't be silly and collect them according to the ratio. You should decide for yourself."

Meng Jian agreed to all of them.

Soon, the whispering session ended, Meng Jian cancelled the Qi wall, and immediately began to penetrate the armor.

After getting dressed neatly, he clasped his fists, immediately opened the tent door and rushed into the rain.

The other two were not idle either, and Qin Zhaoyue assigned tasks to them.

Just when everyone appeared at the door, Qin Jingzhan, who could no longer bear it, reached out to stop them.

"Eldest sister!" Ao Lao startled everyone with a loud cry, "Is there anything you want me to do?"

"Uh..." Qin Zhaoqiong pondered.

She was also anxious to complete her sixth sister's task, which required her to find a suitable spot by the lake to dig a hole to store the black powder.

But there was a glimmer of desire in the fifth brother's eyes. He was indeed very cooperative this time. He didn't complain or feel tired. It didn't seem right to just kick him away.

Qin Zhaoqiong suddenly had an idea, but his expression immediately darkened. "I have an important task for you."

Qin Jingzhan's eyes lit up, "Eldest sister, please tell me, Jingzhan will definitely live up to your trust!"

"Well, clear out the idlers around the lake. Make sure to clean it up."

After saying that, she ran away, leaving Qin Jingzhan disheveled in the wind.

Who are you talking about?
