He didn't want others to know about the existence of gunpowder.
Otherwise, if the Qin Dynasty had gunpowder and giant bows and crossbows, wouldn't it be invincible?
But it was too late.
Yu Qian had already seen the paper.
When Yu Qian saw the contents on the paper, his eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of many things in an instant. He bowed to Ying Yuan and said:
"Your Majesty, if this item can be used in the army, it will be a blessing from heaven for our Great Qin!"
Then, with trembling hands and full of excitement, he handed the paper to his ministers to read.
Then, they didn't notice at all that Ying Yuan's expression had become increasingly ugly, and instead he spoke to himself:
"Master Yu is right. If this item can be used in the army, it will help our soldiers of the Great Qin be invincible!"

"So, Your Majesty has planned this from the very beginning. Your Majesty is truly extremely wise!"
"Your Majesty is hiding this from us, hoping to conceal it from the other nations, right? After all, if you can't even conceal it from us, how can you conceal it from the spies of other nations?"
"Your Majesty's planning is truly profound and unfathomable. I, your servants, admire you immensely!"
