The battle came suddenly, and Liu Qinghuan was anxious. Later, she calmed down and decided that she shouldn't bother others when she couldn't even recite the Thirty-Six Stratagems and couldn't even pass the 800-meter physical test.

Although he was nervous, he still took care of the business in Yuncheng with Hua Jin's company.

County Magistrate Yu received notification of the battle situation, but he kept it secret and completely blocked the news.

This was also Ye Heng's instruction, asking him to block all ports. Most of Yuncheng's ports were commercial ports with the highest population density. Even if it was just to cause panic, the consequences would be disastrous.

Perhaps it was because of the Zhang family incident that County Magistrate Yu obeyed Ye Heng's orders. The news was kept strictly secret, and Liu Qinghuan had not heard anyone discussing the matter until now.

In order to find something to divert his attention, Liu Qinghuan checked the accounts of Huanxi Brand several times in the past two days.

Liu Qinghuan was adjusting the abacus beads when he heard a loud "bang".

Liu Qinghuan was startled. Didn't they say there were no artillery armor? Why was there such a loud noise?

Hua Jin naturally heard it as well and immediately went to Liu Qinghuan.

"Hua Jin, what was that sound just now?" Just hearing this sound, it was probably extremely powerful.

"I don't know." Hua Jin's expression was rarely serious and she shook her head.

Liu Qinghuan clenched his hands tightly.

"Zijun..."

Yesterday, she had wondered why the world's firearms had only just emerged so late. Unexpectedly, other countries had already taken the lead.

"Miss Liu, don't worry." Hua Jin herself was not sure about what she said, and it had no effect on Liu Qinghuan.

"I'm fine." Liu Qinghuan waved his hand.

After reading this, Liu Qinghuan frowned.

The system was quite good at following her progress, but it was too late. Now I'm afraid...

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Hua Jin saw that Liu Qinghuan's expression was a little stagnant, and was afraid that she had hysteria, so she quickly woke her up.

"Hua Jin, tell the restaurants to have all their dishes 40% off today."

"yes."

"No, I'll go. You should hurry to the nearby city, buy a shop, and find staff. Make sure to open it today."

"yes."

Liu Qinghuan took out all the silver and handed it to Hua Jin: "It doesn't have to be a big shop, just the wider the scope, the better. You know, make sure you have enough staff and sell takeout."

"yes."

Hua Jin didn't ask why and went to buy it.

Liu Qinghuan frowned and went out immediately, first looking for Yun Yan.

"Xiuye, lend me all the silver you have, and lend me your people as well." Liu Qinghuan pointed at Hongguang.

Yun Yan:?

.

"Brother Xiaorong."

It was rare for Tian Rong to see Liu Qinghuan so impetuous, and he became nervous along with her unconsciously.

"Boss, what's the emergency?"

Shen Mo was there too, having just come off the stage for intermission, and he came over to listen.

"Everything is 40% off today, and we encourage customers to take out. Go to the market and prepare ingredients, the more the better, and make sure you don't run out of stock."

"Boss, why is this?"

If the discount is 40%, considering the reputation of Huanxi Restaurant, I am afraid it will lose all its money.

"There's no way to explain it. Just do it. And go to the pawnshop and find some help. Two hundred wen for this day. The more the better."

Liu Qinghuan said to Shen Mo again, "Stop telling stories for now. Find your gong and go to the streets and alleys to beat it and spread the news."

Shen Mo curled his lips: "Okay."

Liu Qinghuan then went to the snack shop and asked them to sell snacks at the market.

"Are you serious?"

The dim sum shop directly offered a 10% discount, making the dim sum affordable.

"Go quickly."

After a few shops were notified, various small stalls with the Huanxi brand name were soon set up on the street.

"All Happy dishes are 40% off, hurry and grab them! It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Shen Mo knocked and hammered from the east area to the west area without daring to stop. The key was that Liu Qinghuan looked too anxious, so he didn't dare to stop even if he was exhausted to death.

Yun Yan heard the news. Although he didn't know what Liu Qinghuan intended to do, he still ordered Liu Guang beside him to help.

"Why are you here?" Liu Qinghuan was also in front of the stall. Her heart was pounding when she was idle.

"Hongguang has been borrowed. Does Liuguang want him?" Yun Yan pointed at Liuguang who was standing aside.

Liu Qinghuan glanced at Liu Guang and said, "Then I won't be polite. Please go find all the blacksmiths in Yuncheng. Then find a few who can make firecrackers and ask them to bring the raw materials. No matter how much it costs, find a boat and send them to Baijiao Island."

Fortunately, Liu Qinghuan had studied chemistry, so she knew the preparation of black powder.

The people around the prince are naturally efficient.

He bowed and said yes, then went to do it.

Yun Yan watched from the side and really couldn't see what Liu Qinghuan was doing.

But he didn't dare to ask.

"Miss Liu!"

Fengying searched every house and shop before he found Liu Qinghuan and Yun Yan on the street.

"Fengying! How is Zijun?" Liu Qinghuan felt relieved when he saw Fengying looked normal.

"Miss Liu, don't worry. The master is fine. I asked you to come and tell you. The Japanese pirates are coming with such force this time, they might be armed with the artillery armor you mentioned. Mr. Situ is here to ask if you have any ideas for preparing it."

Liu Qinghuan nodded: "Yes! But I need time!"

Fengying smiled, signaling Liu Qinghuan to relax. "Although the battle today was brutal, it was a mutual loss. The Japanese pirate leader was ambushed by the master and Luo Hua, and now they are leaderless and have retreated. The master said that we can hold them off for five days at most. I hope Miss Liu can do it as soon as possible."

Liu Qinghuan nodded.

"Is Zijun injured?"

"Just some minor injuries."

.

Ye Heng, who had suffered "some minor injuries", was wrapped in gauze like a dumpling in the naval base on Pedra Branca Island, with a dark face, which was particularly funny.

"Master, I've packed it up." Yu Tang put away the medicine box. "You and Luo Hua are really a worry. I'm going to look for him."

Yutang left with the medicine box, and Ye Heng sighed heavily.

Why do his personal guards have such eccentric personalities?

My father and sister's personal guards have never been like this.

Ye Heng felt a dull pain in his chest. He and Luo Hua had swum around the warship, which was very tiring. Otherwise, with the methods used by the Japanese pirates, it would be difficult to hurt him at all.

"Why are you sighing?" Situ Yue had been standing by with a battle map open in front of her.

"It's fine, but I don't know if Qing Huan has any plans. She got dragged into this after all."

Situ Yue made a mark on the drawing and lowered her head, saying, "Qing Huan can help you, it's destined to be so. I'm afraid she has no other options."

"Do cannon armor and firecrackers have any connection?" Ye Heng pondered for a long time. "What I saw today seemed to be a firecracker with much greater power."

"Your idea is good. I just went to check on the ship that was hit by the artillery armor, and it really smelled like exploding firecrackers."

"Why don't we go find some firecracker makers and ask them to think of a solution. Luo Hua is injured, so when Feng Ying comes back, have him send a message to the imperial court."
