Xie Qing frowned: "You have fire in front and gunpowder behind you, this is too dangerous."
Without Qin Wan around, Bai Wanyi felt much more stable. She was especially confident in her familiar territory. "Don't worry. Since it's here, we have all the necessary precautions. Nothing will happen."
Xie Qing stood at the doorway, motionless. "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I won't go in."
Prince Du was also worried that something might happen to him, so he said, "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting outside. I'll go in and take a look."
Bai Wanyi really didn't expect that the prince would refuse to come in. His stubborn look was so cute and adorable.
Bai Wanyi's eyes sparkled: "Your Highness, are you scared? Yeah, there's gunpowder everywhere and it's going to explode if you're not careful. Anyone would be scared."
After saying that, Bai Wanyi turned around and walked inside. She was not at all like she had been in the past and was pestering him.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong."
The sound of blacksmithing rang out rhythmically, and the red-hot iron blocks were fed into the furnace again, with flames bursting out as they went in and out.
Sparks flew out from somewhere and fell to the ground, which was covered with a thin layer of gunpowder. As soon as they saw the sparks, they immediately caught fire, making crackling sounds and moving forward quickly with flames.
"Danger!"
Xie Qing pulled Master Du back, quickly grabbed the bucket, and poured the water on him.
However, the gunpowder was faster and burned towards another pile of gunpowder with a crackling sound.
"Quick! Put it out!"
Xie Qing yelled, and Master Du looked around for water.
As soon as Xie Qing entered the room, he noticed the water tank next to him. He kicked it and the water tank broke into pieces. Water splashed all over the floor and instantly put out the fire.
The craftsman cried out, looking at the soaked gunpowder with regret: "What a pity!"
"If this explodes, not only you, but also the whole town will be gone!" Prince Du was very scared.
Bai Wanyi looked at Xie Qing with sparkling eyes. He was not frightened, nor embarrassed by being slapped in the face, nor heartbroken by the destruction of his gunpowder.
At this moment, Xie Qing was the only one in her eyes and heart.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is so handsome."
"What did you say?" Prince Du looked at Bai Wanyi in astonishment. This woman...
Xie Qing frowned and ordered: "It's dangerous to put gunpowder here. We must take precautions."
"Okay, okay, I'll clean it up right away." The craftsman quickly called someone in, cleaned up all the gunpowder, and poured water on it. The gunpowder could no longer be used, and this place was no longer dangerous.
Bai Wanyi reacted and pretended to be flustered: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help. Your Highness has saved the entire town. This is truly a great deed!"
"Then you are committing a sin." Xie Qing snorted coldly. If he hadn't been there, if there hadn't been much gunpowder over there, not only would he have lost his life, but even the town would have been lost!
Bai Wanyi bit her lip and said innocently, "I'm doing this for the country, I don't want to do this... I..."
Xie Qing was most impatient to see her acting so delicate and pretentious. He frowned and said, "Are you still going to watch? Finish it quickly and leave soon."
"Okay, okay." Bai Wanyi thought Xie Qing would leave in anger, but he didn't expect him to be willing to stay. It seems that firearms have great appeal.
Of course, this is also my own charm.
Bai Wanyi gently stroked her hair, smiled charmingly at Xie Qingrou, turned around and pushed open the door.
Du Shizi felt a chill run down his spine as he leaned over to Xie Qing and whispered, "I think I know why you don't want to talk to her."
"Humph, you dragged me here by force."
Xie Qing glanced at him and whispered, "Send someone to the border."
"What are you going there for?" Prince Du didn't understand.
Xie Qing whispered, "This is the capital, under the Emperor's feet, and she's so careless about safety. They've been researching gunpowder at the border for eight years, and nothing happened? Tell me, where did the missing 100,000 taels of silver go? Did the Marquis of Pingyang just accept this? He didn't make trouble for the Bai family?"
Prince Du's pupils shrank: "This!"
Xie Qing nodded and pulled Master Du into the room.
Hanging on the walls and scattered on the tables in this room are all kinds of strange tubes and parts.
Bai Wanyi picked up a pipe and knocked it: "I'm a little dissatisfied. It still doesn't meet that standard."
The craftsman said, "It's hard to control the quantity and the heat. In short, even the slightest difference will not work. We need to try again."
Bai Wanyi nodded, reached out and took a sword from the wall, turned around and handed it to Xie Qing: "Take a look at this sword."
Xie Qing took a step back: "We are here to see firearms, not swords."
puff.
The words were a double entendre, and Prince Du couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Bai Wanyi seemed not to understand and smiled as he grasped the hilt of the sword: "Your Highness, would you like to take a look?"
She said as she slowly drew out the sword.
A chill suddenly hit him, and Xie Qing's eyes suddenly changed.
Bai Wanyi took the opportunity to put the sword into Xie Qing's hand: "Try it."
A hard tree stump, a kitchen knife and a pig bone were prepared in the corner.
Xie Qing drew out his sword with a swish. The sharp sword was unsheathed, and the unusual cold light made all the men present happy.
Prince Du approached Xie Qing with envy, plucked a strand of his hair, and blew it towards the sword.
The hair passed through the sword blade and fell to the ground gracefully.
A strand of hair fell to the ground and split into two.
Prince Du's eyes lit up: "What a great sword!"
He rolled up his sleeves and brought the stump over: "Try it! Quick!"
If it weren't for the prince, if there weren't other people around, Prince Du would have snatched the sword and satisfied himself first.
Xie Qing swung his sword and the tree root was split in half. The broken end was neat and without any burrs. There was no doubt that this was a good sword!
