Seeing that Alit had changed how he addressed him, Xie Yang's heart skipped a beat. He felt something was wrong and wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.
Because the woman was right. If he hadn't seen the gunpowder, how could he have trusted Zhou Wenyi so much? But he didn't expect the woman to say it so casually.
The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. He looked at Jiang Yimian, trying to see if there was anything wrong with her, but after looking at her carefully for a long time, he couldn't see anything strange.
Is he overthinking it?
Just then, Jiang Yimian continued, "Does Young Master Xie think I said something wrong? It's all my fault. I thought Young Master Xie had already told the Khan those things."
Upon hearing this, the Xiliang people on the tower all looked at Xie Yang differently.
Alite frowned, and his expression gradually darkened.
He always hated people who lied to him, and if it was any of his ministers, he would have them killed on the spot.
But this person was Xie Yang, and he had to be wary of what this guy was up to. Even now, when they were cooperating, he wouldn't reveal a single bit of his true feelings.
He wouldn't dare to get too close to someone like that.
Xie Yang quickly changed the subject, "Let's take a look at the gunpowder that Young Master Zhou made."
After saying that, he sat down in a seat to the side, only looking towards the center of the training ground, not daring to look at Jiang Yimian and the other person again, nor daring to say anything more.
He finally understood the lesson that the more you say, the more mistakes you make.
He strongly suspected that the woman was doing it on purpose, but today was indeed the first time he had met her. No matter how much she disliked him, it was impossible for her to have too much hostility towards him.
Unless this person knows him or has a deep-seated hatred towards him.
The thought of this possibility made his face change. He wanted to take a closer look at Jiang Yimian and the other person, but he was afraid that before he could see the problem, the other person would say something that would deepen the conflict between him and Alite.
For a moment, he felt restless and uneasy.
Jiang Yimian just sneered. She wanted to see where Xie Yang could run to this time.
For her and her family's sake, and for the sake of so many people in the Great Jin Dynasty, she would not give Xie Yang another chance to escape.
Just then, the soldiers in the center of the training ground finished their drills.
A round-faced man sitting next to Alite looked only at Jiang Yimian and the other woman, and said with considerable dissatisfaction, "The martial arts arena is an important place, how can women be allowed to set foot here?"
Young Master Zhou, I think you value women far too much, as you have to carry them with you all the time.
Could it be that your woman was with you when you were making gunpowder?
We dare not use such gunpowder.
Upon hearing this, the Xiliang soldiers standing nearby burst into laughter.
Allit pretended not to hear.
But deep down, I also believe that the people around me didn't say anything wrong.
In his eyes, women were nothing more than things that could be discarded at any time; all he needed was Zhou Wenyi.
The only reason he could treat the two men so kindly now was because of the gunpowder. If the gunpowder hadn't been as good as described in the letter, he would have killed them without hesitation.
Lu Cijian didn't even glance at the round-faced man, and said indifferently, "Of course, my wife has always been making gunpowder with me."
If she wanted to, she could have blown you up before you even finished speaking.
The round-faced man was furious at these words and immediately retorted, "You're comparing me to your woman? I could kill her with one finger. Stop talking nonsense."
Lu Cijian simply said, "Indeed, it's wrong to compare you all together. It would be too disgraceful for my wife's reputation. It would be more pleasing to the eye to compare her with me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yimian and those around her couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Jiang Yimian laughed because Lu Cijian didn't forget to praise himself even at this moment.
She never realized before that the other person was so confident in their appearance.
The round-faced man turned ashen with rage, rolled up his sleeves, and yelled, "You bastard, do you want to die?"
Seeing that the other party was about to make a move, Alite simply coughed lightly, and the round-faced man immediately sat down again. However, when his gaze fell on Lu Cijian and the other man, the hatred in his eyes could not be hidden.
The middle-aged man standing next to Alite said, "Young Master Zhou, may we now see the power of your gunpowder?"
Seeing this, the round-faced man sneered, "Since Young Master Zhou's wife is so capable, then let Mrs. Zhou light the gunpowder."
He wanted to see if this woman would be so frightened that she would burst into tears and dare to mock him.
He'll make sure those two bastards never dare to be so arrogant again.
Lu Cijian only looked at Jiang Yimian, and only said after seeing her nod: "Since my wife is willing to demonstrate for you, you'd better watch carefully, don't be scared."
The round-faced man just chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Zhou, I'll keep a close eye on things."
Look at how this woman has made a fool of herself.
Jiang Yimian merely raised an eyebrow and followed Wang San down the tower.
Seeing this, the round-faced man quickly followed.
After Wang San dumped a box of gunpowder on the central training ground, Jiang Yimian only accepted the bow and arrows handed to her by the servant.
The round-faced man stood not far from Jiang Yimian and sneered, "I'll come and see how you cry now."
He didn't believe the woman or Zhou Wenyi.
If there really were gunpowder that was far more powerful than the gunpowder on the market, how could Xie Yang have lost so miserably back then? If he hadn't relied on the Khan, he probably would have died in the Great Jin Dynasty long ago.
If the gunpowder today is truly as powerful as Zhou Wenyi said, then he could have injured the woman with the force of the explosion the moment it detonated. Even if she didn't die, she would be bedridden for life.
As for Zhou Wenyi, considering that the other party had real talent and ability, he let him off the hook. After all, the other party had no woman left, so what was there for him to be arrogant about?
If the power is not strong enough, this woman, Zhou Wenyi, and Xie Yang will all die.
Thinking about all this, he felt a surge of excitement and subconsciously moved closer to Jiang Yimian's back.
The people on the tower all looked at the center of the training ground with different expressions.
Alit and the other Xiliang people were hopeful; they hoped they could really obtain gunpowder with tremendous power.
In that case, no matter how much the Great Jin and Tuyuhun joined forces, they would never be a match for them.
These people who dare to set foot in Xiliang will only face death.
Xie Yang was nervous. Although he knew that Zhou Wenyi was truly talented, he was unsure whether the power of the gunpowder had been stabilized.
After all, the gunpowder I saw last time was different in power. Even though they were made of the same materials, some were more powerful and some were less powerful.
Alite was already dissatisfied with him, and if the gunpowder project failed again, he would have no chance of getting Alite to help him reclaim the Great Jin and everything that was rightfully his.
This is his last chance.
