Lu Cijian glanced at the expressions of the people around him, only curling his lips in a mocking smile, without any other extra expression on his face. He looked as if he was very confident and had a complete grasp of the gunpowder.
Alite glanced at Lu Cijian subconsciously, only to find that the other person was whispering something to Xie Yang. Xie Yang's tense expression instantly relaxed, and he was filled with joy.
He immediately frowned, becoming even more certain that Xie Yang and Zhou Wenyi's relationship was far from simple, and definitely not just a business partnership as Xie Yang had claimed.
He needs to have someone keep a close eye on these three.
Thinking of all this, when he looked at the gunpowder in the center of the training ground, his eyes no longer held the previous expectation, but instead carried a sense of solemnity.
Jiang Yimian looked at the gunpowder laid out not far away, and without pausing, the arrow in her hand, which was doused with kerosene, shot directly at the gunpowder on the ground with a "whoosh".
Upon seeing this, the round-faced man sneered, then lunged forward, reaching out to push Jiang Yimian.
However, before he could touch her, Jiang Yimian instinctively dodged to the open space to the side.
From a distance, it looks like an instinctive dodge, as if afraid of the aftershocks of a gunpowder explosion endangering oneself.
The round-faced man, caught off guard by his sudden lunge, lost control of his momentum and fell straight to the ground.
Just then, a loud bang suddenly erupted in the center of the training ground.
With a loud bang, dust billowed up, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly.
Xie Yang, who was on the tower, stood up instantly, his whole body trembling with excitement. He had succeeded.
With such powerful gunpowder, how could he not return to the Great Jin?
The Xiliang people around Alite were also excited when they saw the dust rising in the center of the training ground.
"Khan, this gunpowder is indeed very powerful. With this gunpowder as ammunition, even if the Tuyuhun and Jin have a large number of people, they will not be a match for us."
"Yes, the expansion of Xiliang is promising."
In an instant, the tower was filled with cheers from the crowd.
A hint of joy appeared in Alite's eyes. Just as he was about to ask Lu Cijian how much gunpowder he could make in a short time, he heard the other party say, "Young Master Xie, is this the gunpowder you wanted? Isn't its power much better than before?"
Xie Yang was preoccupied with returning to the Great Jin Dynasty and didn't notice anything wrong with what he said. He immediately nodded and said, "Of course, after all, it's the latest gunpowder you made, so it must be the most powerful."
It's not just much better than before, it's increased many times over.
While the gunpowder of the past was slightly more powerful than that available on the market, it was only slightly better. But now, it's something that can blast a deep crater in the ground.
Such a powerful weapon is capable of putting up a fight against anyone.
Whether it's Jiang Yimian, Lu Cijian, or Xie Jingxuan, he wants them all dead, every single one of them from the Great Jin Dynasty.
As Alite watched Xie Yang and Lu Cijian's back-and-forth exchange, his suspicions gradually solidified, and the joy in his eyes returned to a solemn focus.
The Weizhou incident was a huge lesson for him. Not only did he suffer heavy losses, but he also gained nothing and even exposed the intentions that Xiliang had been hiding for so many years.
If their intentions in Weizhou hadn't been so obvious, Tuyuhun wouldn't have been in such a hurry to take action against them.
Xie Yang bears half the responsibility for all of this.
But this person never actually told him his trump card.
Back then, when Xiliang separated from Tuyuhun, it was able to develop so rapidly, partly thanks to Xie Yang's help, but he felt he had already returned all that help to the other party.
At present, he had no idea whether Xie Yang was still hiding any secrets.
Furthermore, given the close relationship between the other party and Zhou Wenyi, if all that gunpowder ends up in Xie Yang's hands, Xiliang will also be in danger.
To Xie Yang, both Tuyuhun and Jin were now enormous powers.
But Xiliang is different. Xie Yang knows Xiliang too well and knows what Xiliang relies on.
If this guy were to set his sights on Xiliang, he might be even more terrifying than the Great Jin and Tuyuhun.
After all, an enemy who knows you well is often the one who knows your weaknesses best.
Thinking of this, a flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes.
By now, the smoke and dust that had filled the training ground had disappeared, allowing them to see more clearly how large the craters left by the burning gunpowder were.
Below the dark cave entrance, there were scattered rocks, and traces of gunpowder burning were all around.
Jiang Yimian frowned involuntarily when she saw the scene in front of her.
Although she knew that the gunpowder Zhou Wenyi made was quite powerful, seeing it with her own eyes still surprised her.
Such gunpowder was enough to flatten any country.
If Xiliang were to actually obtain this gunpowder, the final result would undoubtedly be the destruction of the land and the displacement of countless people.
The Xia people in the tunnels will prove everything; the people of the Great Jin will only suffer more then.
Fortunately, Zhou Wenyi has been brought under their control and is no longer able to cooperate with anyone.
No matter how powerful the gunpowder was, others could only see it, but couldn't touch it.
Just then, the round-faced man, whose body was covered in black ash from the explosion, finally got up from the ground, trembling.
However, his original arrogance was gone, and instead, there was a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Yimian.
This woman is truly somewhat wicked.
Despite the massive explosion, the man showed no fear whatsoever. He casually dodged the attack and escaped the blast radius.
This person did it on purpose, deliberately standing in the aftershocks of the explosion to lure him into attacking, but dodging at the last moment.
If he hadn't rolled quickly on the ground and avoided entering the epicenter of the explosion, he would be a flying chunk of flesh right now.
It wasn't that he was confident in himself; it was just that as someone who had been on the battlefield, his reaction time should be better than this woman's.
But what was the result? The enormous impact of the explosion spread throughout his body, and his ears are still ringing.
The woman was completely unharmed; even her light blue dress remained exactly the same as before, without a speck of dust on it.
He now believed Zhou Wenyi's words; this woman definitely had the ability to blow him up.
Given the situation just now, if the other party had taken the opportunity to attack him, he would have definitely died in that explosion.
The thought of this possibility made him tremble all over.
Jiang Yimian looked at him, but only pretended to be surprised and said, "My lord, what happened to you? How did you become like this?"
"Were you so scared your legs went weak?"
The round-faced man chuckled twice, then limped quickly toward the tower, not daring to say another word to Jiang Yimian.
As soon as the group climbed the tower, the round-faced man instantly attracted everyone's attention.
When the people of Xiliang saw what he looked like now, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
