Imperial Palace, Pepper Room.
Zhao Wenxiang presented the gunpowder formula, the detailed production method of the thunder bomb, and the memorial to Jiang Wan'er.
"Your Majesty, I have carefully asked Zhao Hao about this. The manufacturing method of gunpowder and thunder bombs was inspired by the process of Taoist alchemy..."
He repeated Zhao Hao's words to Jiang Wan'er verbatim.
Jiang Wan'er sighed, "I never thought that this horrible thing actually came from alchemy."
Zhao Wenxiang said: "Yes, I didn't think of this either."
Jiang Wan'er nodded and said, "Lord Zhao, you go down first."
Zhao Wenxiang bowed and walked out, and Qingxing came out from behind.
She came to Jiang Wan'er's side and said, "Your Majesty, I have checked it out."
Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes flashed, and she asked, "What was the result?"
Qing Xing said: "Since Zhao Hao was thrown into the prison, the barbaric border invasion has occurred. Lord Zhao has been busy raising military funds and has not even returned to the mansion. He has not been to the prison, nor has he sent anyone to go there."
"Mrs. Zhao fell ill when she first heard that Zhao Hao was thrown into the prison. She stayed in bed for more than ten days before she got better."
"In the past half month, Madam Zhao has been to the Heavenly Prison twice. The first time, she was angrily driven away by Zhao Hao."
"The second time was today. A woman named Su Si from the Baiyue Kingdom was sent to Zhao Hao. She wanted to continue the Zhao family's bloodline before Zhao Hao died."
"At first, Zhao Hao was very furious in the prison, and only calmed down a little in recent days."
"It was Madam Zhao who accidentally mentioned the matter of the barbarians invading the border today, and Zhao Hao suddenly thought of developing the thunder bomb."
"I didn't come into contact with anyone during the entire process. It's exactly what Lord Zhao said."
Jiang Wan'er said, "So, this thunder bomb was really developed by that brat himself?"
Qing Xing said: "Based on the current situation, this is the case."
Jiang Wan'er smiled and said, "I never thought that such a terrifying thing would come from such an uneducated guy."
"It seems that things in this world often don't make sense."
This smile filled the entire Pepper Room with a bright glow, and the beautiful green plants in the room lost their color.
"Alright, send the manufacturing method of the thunder bomb to the General Works Bureau and order them to manufacture it with all their strength. It must be kept strictly confidential. If there is any leakage, all those involved will be killed!"
Qing Xing had just left when a young woman in her twenties, who was equally beautiful and looked 70% like the empress, rushed in angrily.
This young woman was none other than Princess Yongning, who was molested by Zhao Hao in the street and had her dress torn to pieces.
As soon as she received the news that Zhao Hao was released and sent home, she rushed towards the Jiaofang Palace angrily.
"Royal sister, why did you let that damned Zhao Hao go?"
Jiang Wan'er put away the smile on her face and said in a slightly cold tone:
"Yongning, is this how you talk to me?"
Yongning's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that his attitude was really too much.
He bowed to Jiang Wan'er.
"Royal sister, Yongning was too presumptuous. Please punish him."
Jiang Wan'er then put away the displeasure on her face and put on a friendly look again.
"Yongning, even if you didn't come, my sister would still want to talk to you about this matter."
"After all, you have suffered a great injustice, and I must give you an explanation."
"The reason why the Imperial Sister released Zhao Hao is because he has made an unparalleled contribution to our cause."
"His merits are enough to exempt him from the death penalty, so you don't need to pursue anything further."
Princess Yongning naturally didn't believe it. She widened her beautiful eyes and said:
"Royal sister, what kind of merit can that good-for-nothing wretch achieve? What kind of merit is this?"
Jiang Wan'er sighed softly and said, "Don't say you don't believe it. My sister doesn't believe it either, but this is the fact."
Yongning asked, "Then tell me, sister, what merits did that damned fellow perform?"
Jiang Wan'er said patiently: "You should know that my Da Gan is currently at a disadvantage in the battle with Huang Man in the north."
"We can't even be sure whether Mubei City is still in our hands now."
"Once Mubei City is breached, the barbarians will march straight in."
"We no longer have any defenses. Tell me, is this situation dangerous?"
Princess Yongning was startled and took a deep breath in panic.
"This is naturally extremely dangerous. So, sister, what should we do now?"
Jiang Wan'er said softly, "Yes, it is very dangerous now, and the contribution made by Zhao Hao is to reverse this dangerous situation."
"What?"
Princess Yongning exclaimed in disbelief.
"Royal sister, how could that loser have such ability?"
"Today, Madam Zhao went to the Heavenly Prison and accidentally mentioned the matter of the barbarians invading the border. Then, in order to reverse the unfavorable situation of the war, the boy invented something."
"Royal sister, what did he invent that could actually turn the tide on the battlefield?"
"The thing he invented is called gunpowder. He used gunpowder to make a terrible thing called a thunder bomb. You come with my sister."
Having said that, he stood up and took Yongning to the Imperial Garden.
A quarter of an hour later.
With a loud bang, an extremely messy deep pit appeared in the imperial garden again.
Princess Yongning, who was standing far away and still puzzled, opened her eyes wide and was completely stunned.
It took me a long time to come back to my senses.
"Royal sister, you said this this this this... this horrible thing was invented by that loser Zhao Hao?"
Yongning was shocked beyond words, and so was Jiang Wan'er, who was watching it for the second time.
She took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yes, this thing was invented by Zhao Hao. Yongning, you said, one thunder bomb has such power, what if there are ten, a hundred, a thousand or ten thousand thunder bombs?"
Princess Yongning covered her mouth with her hands when she heard this.
"That barbarian army will be turned into dust in an instant. Moreover, the barbarians are all cavalry. The explosion will scare the horses and cause an uncontrollable stampede. The casualties will be unimaginable!"
