Chapter 235 Don’t You Regret?

The queen was already accustomed to his gangster-like way of speaking. She glanced at him and began to rub her temples.

We have been fighting non-stop these past few days with almost no time to rest.

They haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Lu Xinran stood beside the Queen, serving her tea and water, and considerately massaging her shoulders.

Without a traitor, the biggest purpose of her trip had been achieved.

The grudges and entanglements between the three queens, well, although it is quite interesting, but eating too much meat and fish will make you sick...

So she has been serving as the Queen's maid these few days, and has also worked with Lu Xinlan to research two edible medicinal dishes for the Queen to nourish her body.

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

"No, we can't help you. But I have something nice to show you."

While she was talking, Lu Xinlan came in with a few bowls of mung bean soup.

Life at the border was hard, and they only found a few handfuls of mung beans in the general's kitchen.

The queen uttered an "oh" with interest, picked up the bowl of mung bean soup and drank it in one gulp.

"What good stuff?"

Lu Xinran poked Lu Xinlan's arm, and Lu Xinlan understood and took out the homemade explosives they made from the corner.

The two of them have conducted many experiments in the past few days, and this is the best homemade explosive that can be mixed under the existing conditions.

"Aunt, have you heard that fireworks can hurt people if not stored properly?"

The Queen paused for a moment and then looked anxiously at the strangely shaped black cloth bag in her hand.

Lu Xinlan smiled and pointed at the explosives in his hand: "If we are not wrong, this amount of explosives will kill at least dozens of people."

If everyone crowded together during the siege, perhaps a few more could be killed.

The queen stood up excitedly, and even Xie Lang, who was standing beside her, did not bother to drink the mung bean soup in the bowl and hurried over to see this magical explosive.

"Can it really achieve the effect you said?"

Xie Lang took the explosives and looked at them carefully, still finding it hard to believe.

Lu Xinlan nodded: "We have limited materials, so we can only do this for now."

This was great news for the Queen and the others. Many soldiers in the army had been killed or wounded, and what they lacked now was a way to quickly deal with the enemy.

“Is this thing easy to make?”

"That's good, but don't you guys try it out to see how it works?"

Xie Lang's eagerness and trust made the two sisters a little unsure. What if the effect did not reach the dozens of people they said, wouldn't that disappoint everyone?

"It doesn't matter. It would be best if we have it. If we don't, we will just be in this situation now."

So if it works out, that's the best, but if it doesn't, it won't have any impact on him.

Lu Xinran: “…”

Very good, this is indeed his usual speaking style.

They just felt there was no need to watch it, but the two sisters thought they should try it first.

This is the most powerful one they have ever made. Judging from the amount of explosives filled in it, the explosive power should be quite large, and it is likely to cause casualties if it is detonated in the city.

Therefore, the best way is to conduct experiments on the Qiang people on the city wall.

Xie Lang asked about the specific method of igniting the fire, and then instructed his deputy general to do it.

The result came in just a quarter of an hour. They used a small catapult to throw explosives into the Chahar military camp.

The explosives exploded the moment they hit the ground, blowing up several surrounding military camps.

Not only did the Qiang people panic and not know what was going on, but the deputy general who had personally gone out was also frightened. After running back, he was panting and couldn't finish his words for a long time.

Xie Lang was originally nonchalant and didn't take it seriously, but after listening to him talking incessantly, he immediately became excited and asked someone to make the arrangements.

There weren't many materials in the city, so the number that could be made was limited. The entire army worked all night and only made two or three hundred.

But this number was enough to intimidate Chahar and make him dare not attack the city easily again.

As long as we can survive these few days, food and supplies can be transported to Hanyu Pass.

In the following days, the shock effect of the explosives attack had obviously weakened.

Every night, Shelang would order his men to drop explosives into the Chahar military camp.

Lu Xinran had fully understood the methods of General Xie, who was really a ruthless person.

However, when she thought that the unlucky ones were the ones who wanted to kill them, she felt that this method was well used, very good!

"The food and grass have arrived. They are in the mountains."

Xie Lang hurriedly called the queen away, and Lu Xinran looked silently at the pages of the book that were rolled up by the figure.

She quietly put away the things on the table and then went to the window.

"General Qi, do you regret not being able to get out of bed and fight alongside the Empress?"

Qi Yu: “…”

Do the young people nowadays ask questions so directly?

He coughed lightly and looked away: "Regret, not really."

After all, it was a real surprise to see her.

He was not as bold as Xie Lang, who dared to calculate everything, so he only kept his love in his heart and dared not show it in the slightest.

"In a few days, General Ma Linyuan will arrive from Haishan Pass."

"Yes, the reinforcements have arrived, and the crisis here can be resolved to some extent."

By then, the crisis at Hanyu Pass will be resolved, and we can start to take back Yucheng Pass.

Lu Xinran's thoughts were not as simple as his. Although the war was ongoing during this period and the empress was under great pressure and could only sleep for a few hours a day, her mood was visibly brightening.

Her every frown and smile are far different from before in the palace.

If such a lively empress were to return to the capital, she would probably become depressed again and would have to wear a mask and remain dignified and polite forever.

Secretly, she didn't want her to go back, but this matter required planning.

Qi Yu listened to her thoughts and his heart began to beat violently.

Queen...can you stay here and stay with them forever?

Xie Lang went through so much trouble and almost ruined his reputation. Was it just for this?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. His heart, which had already begun to grow silent, came back to life.

He can't just recuperate like this!

Lu Xinlan heard their conversation from a distance, walked over with a smile and pulled the person away.

"Walls have ears. Don't say certain things carelessly."

Lu Xinran: “???”

What did she just say?

Or did she accidentally say that she didn't want the Queen to return to the capital?

Pulling Lu Xinlan back to the room where they slept, she whispered in his ear.

"How do you think we can help the Queen without exposing herself?"

Lu Xinlan: “…”

With your voice as a big colander, I guess there is no way to hide it.

The emperor only needed to call them into the palace and ask them a random question and they would confess everything in their hearts.

"Do you think we can ask Song Junyan to help? I see that he has been following General Xie for a long time and is more attentive than those deputy generals. He must have noticed the changes in the Queen."

If Song Junyan was there to take the blame, could they feel more confident and bold in thinking of solutions?

Lu Xinlan lit a candle for Song Junyan again in his heart, and nodded with a smile when he thought that this girl had very little defense against Song Junyan.

"Then find an opportunity to test him and see how he reacts before deciding whether to ask him for help."

Drag him into the water
