After Linlang sent her parents and four brothers away, she felt a little depressed. A year later, they would die in battle one after another, and the marquisate would fall into decline.
In the past, I felt sorry when I heard their stories and admired them as heroes. Now I feel heartbroken because these are her loving family members.
One after another, living people died on the battlefield, leaving no trace.
She wanted to save them. She couldn't bear the pain of losing them, and her mother couldn't bear such a blow even more. The ending of the previous life couldn't be repeated.
Amu reached out and gently smoothed Linlang's frown. "My wife, if you have any troubles, don't keep them in your heart and tell me. Even if I can't solve it, there are still father, brother and Mo'er. We will always find a solution."
"Seeing my father and four brothers, and thinking of the millions of soldiers on the battlefield, who are defending their country, I also want to do my part for them."
Ah Mu immediately understood Lin Lang's thoughts, "My wife's medicine for injuries is the best. You want to make some for my father-in-law and the others. This is the surprise you want to give them."
Linlang looked at Amu in surprise. She didn't expect that they had the same idea. "You think it's a good idea too, right?"
"Of course, I have personally experienced how effective the medicines you made are." Amu knew that her operations, in addition to Linlang's superb medical skills, were inseparable from the medicines she developed and produced herself.
It is the same for myself and Zhao Ningyu.
"But you're pregnant now, and those herbs are all toxic. Also, don't overwork yourself, your health is more important."
Ah Mu put Linlang's body first in everything he did. "You teach me what to do, and I'll do it."
"Since you passed the exam, you must go to the county school to study. Running back and forth between the two places, and helping me make medicine, is too tiring." Linlang disagreed, "Don't worry, I will take precautions and get enough rest, so I won't get too tired."
This time, Su Nanting and Song left Nanny Li behind to take care of Linlang. She didn't have to do anything at home or go out for medical consultations, which was quite boring.
Take advantage of this opportunity to make more medicine for the wound, and then give the prescription directly to your father. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish.
Ah Mu analyzed the current situation of Jing Dynasty for Linlang. "Northern Qi is suppressing the development of Jing Dynasty, and there are many spies in Jing Dynasty who can detect any movement. If you send your prescription, it will easily fall into the hands of Northern Qi and become a wedding dress for others."
"Also, we need to keep our efforts secret in producing medicine for the army. The only people we can trust are my father-in-law and my four uncles."
Linlang clenched her fists. "It seems that if Jing Chao wants to stand up, he must win a battle."
"The reason why Northern Qi is so powerful is because they have thunder bombs. Once thunder bombs are used, corpses are everywhere."
Amu still felt a lingering fear when talking about the thunder bombs. "Back then, Northern Qi used thunder bombs to open the gates of Jing Dynasty. Ten border cities fell, and there were heavy casualties."
"The two sons of the Anchang Marquisate died in that battle. The old marquis's life hung by a thread, and my father-in-law remained at the border, determined to perish alongside the Northern Qi soldiers. At that time, the emperor surrendered and signed many terms. The Jing Dynasty became a vassal state of Northern Qi, paying tribute annually and sending hostages to Northern Qi."
"Linlang, if it weren't for the civil unrest in Northern Qi, the Jing Dynasty would have been destroyed and we would all be slaves of a conquered nation."
Linlang knew that the thunder bomb was a kind of explosive. In this era of cold weapons, owning a thunder bomb was equivalent to having the right to speak.
The Jing Dynasty, which signed so many unequal treaties, was no different from a conquered nation. The soldiers on the border lived a miserable life, the people suffered terribly, and people with lofty ideals could not realize their ambitions.
And the young master who sacrificed so much for the people of Jing Dynasty. Linlang held Amu's hand tightly, "Amu, if I said I could make a thunder bomb, would you believe it?"
"Believe it." Linlang said that he would believe it even if it could pierce the sky. That was a thunder bomb, something that Amu would remember deeply for the rest of his life. Back then, the Northern Qi delegation used it to blow up the roof of the imperial palace, and many civil servants were trembling with fear.
Amu's hands were shaking. He was so excited. If they also had thunder bombs, they would not have to fear Northern Qi. They could get back the lost city and dignity.
He quickly calmed down and said, "This matter requires long-term consideration. When my father-in-law and my four brothers come back, we will discuss it together."
"Yeah." Linlang thought about how in her previous life, the old marquis, her father, and her four brothers died in battle and no trace of their bodies was left. They must have been blown up by a sky bomb.
She took Amu's hand and sat down. "Amu, tell me in detail about the power of the thunder bomb."
Amu recalled what happened seven years ago. He was shocked when he saw the power of the thunder bomb. "The thunder bomb has four black balls. When the fuse is lit and thrown out, it will make a loud noise. The ground and the house will shake. A big crater will appear where it is exploded..."
Linlang listened carefully and realized that the power of Northern Qi's thunder bomb was only so-so. The one she made was twice as powerful as Northern Qi's.
Those who lag behind will be beaten. This statement was true in that era.
It seems that I have something to do next. I will make medicine and bombs, and think carefully about how they can help with weapons in this era of cold weapons.
Ah Mu had to participate in making the thunder bomb. "I'm going to take a leave of absence from the county school. I'll help you at home. You're pregnant, so I need to take care of you at home."
With Amu's ability, the imperial examination is not a problem. Linlang nodded and said, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's go back to Lu'er Town. There are few people in the deep mountains over there. Let's go collect herbs."
Ah Mu said excitedly, "This is a good idea."
The young couple had a heated discussion on how to implement it and what materials to prepare. They wrote them down one by one and slowly started to prepare.
Just as he finished writing, Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Ningyu came and asked Linlang to go and treat the old priest's leg disease.
