The next morning, Yun Zheng and his companions left Suqu.
As soon as Yun Zheng and his men left, Wang Qi summoned all the soldiers, severely punished Guo Kai and others in front of them, and expelled them from the army permanently.
"You all drank that wine!"
"Although that bastard Guo Kai is the mastermind, we all have a hand in this!"
"I begged for a long time last night before the prince agreed to show some leniency to me!"
"Watch your mouths, everyone. If what happened last night gets to General Wei's ears, you should know the consequences without me telling you!"
"Remember, Guo Kai did not bring anyone to rob the wine, and the prince has never been here!"
"Also, from now on, drinking is prohibited in the camp!"
"I will use my salary to buy charcoal for everyone to keep warm!"
"If anyone dares to drink in the camp again, I will make him move his drinking utensils away!"
...
...
Wang Qi used both kindness and force to successfully suppress the matter.
Afterwards, Wang Qi found Guo Kai and the other masterminds and repeatedly told them not to mention what happened last night to anyone, otherwise, when Wei Wenzhong wanted to execute them, they would not blame him for not remembering their friendship.
Several people were frightened by Wang Qi and nodded repeatedly, saying that they would never tell anyone about this even if they died.
After dealing with these people, Wang Qi returned to his barracks.
Thinking about what happened last night, Wang Qi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
He now realized that the wine robbery was a trap set by Yun Zheng for them.
The purpose, of course, is to make himself serve him.
No matter whether it was Guo Kai or someone else who stole the wine, as long as they were members of Suqu's army, the final result would be the same.
The King of Jingbei is so thoughtful and meticulous in his planning that one can only admire him.
With such a prince, it is no surprise that the Tian soldiers of Shuofang won two great victories in succession!
"That's all!"
Wang Qi shook his head to himself.
Since things have come to this, there is only one way left, to go all the way and fight for a future for myself!
Following such a prince may not be a bad thing!
…
In the following days, Yun Zheng went out early and came back late every day.
Chen Luoyan and the others only knew that Yun Zheng ran to the granary under construction every day, but they didn't know what Yun Zheng was doing.
Not to mention them, even Gao He and his personal guards didn't know what Yun Zheng was doing.
When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Yun Zheng asked them to guard outside and not let anyone in.
After that, muffled noises were heard from deep in the cave from time to time.
Sometimes loud, sometimes soft.
Although Gao He and the others were extremely curious, they could only stay outside due to Yun Zheng's order.
Anyway, Yun Zheng was always covered in dust when he walked out of the cave every day.
After five days of experiments, Yun Zheng finally adjusted the ratio of the three substances for making gunpowder to the optimal level.
However, this can only be regarded as crude gunpowder.
He didn't have that much time to slowly purify the saltpeter.
But for Yun Zheng, this earthen gunpowder was enough.
Yun Zheng let out a long sigh and walked out of the cave again.
As expected, he was covered in dust and dirt again.
"Call Du Guiyuan over!"
Yun Zheng ordered Gao He.
Gao He took the order and immediately went to call Du Guiyuan.
When Du Guiyuan arrived, Yun Zheng immediately ordered with a serious face: "Send someone to find Zhang Xu and bring over what I want! I have already told him in advance, he knows what to give you! You personally lead the team to escort it, and no one is allowed to open it and check it along the way!"
"yes!"
Du Guiyuan immediately took the order and left.
Gao He and others looked at Yun Zheng with confusion, not knowing what he was doing.
Yun Zheng was being too mysterious this time.
It’s much more mysterious than the previous battle plans!
"Don't look at it."
Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the others. "You'd better not know about this! To tell you the truth, I will send people to closely monitor anyone who is involved in making this thing! If you don't want to be monitored, don't ask around!"
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, several people's hearts suddenly jumped and they nodded quickly.
No wonder Yun Zheng didn’t let them in!
It turns out it was for their own good.
After learning Yun Zheng's true thoughts, although they were curious, they did not dare to ask any further.
They don't want to be watched all the time!
Another two days passed, and Yun Zheng finally brought four older Tian Bing to finish everything that needed to be done.
Afterwards, Yun Zheng called You Yi to You Ba and explained some things to them.
The next day, the eight men left with enough dry food to sustain them for twenty days.
Except for a limited number of people, no one knows where these people went.
After being busy for several days, Yun Zheng can finally return home and have a good rest.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he heard a commotion coming from inside.
When I walked into the mansion, I saw Ye Zi and Miao Yin sitting in the courtyard with headaches on their faces.
"What's going on?"
Yun Zheng asked the two women curiously.
"What else could it be?"
Ye Zi rolled her eyes and rubbed her head in pain, "The great god of wealth Zhang has offended Mingyue again. Mingyue is chasing and beating him all over the yard..."
“…”
Yun Zheng paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Beating is love, scolding is love, let them do whatever they want!"
Upon hearing this, the two women couldn't help but roll their eyes at him.
Yun Zheng didn't care and walked over to sit between the two women.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
Miaoyin asked, tilting her head.
These days, they have become accustomed to Yun Zheng leaving early and coming back late.
"I'm done!"
Yun Zheng laughed and put his arm around Miaoyin's waist. "There shouldn't be anything to do for a while. I can spend some time with you guys!"
"Who wants you to accompany me?"
Miaoyin pulled Yun Zheng's hand away with a coquettish look, and then gently pinched him.
Yun Zheng didn't take it seriously and asked again, "Where did Luo Yan go?"
"Where else can she go?" Ye Zi pursed her lips and said, "Beihuan sent several waves of spies across the Baishui River today, but they were discovered by our people in time and withdrew. She was worried that Beihuan would launch a sneak attack from some corner, so she went to inspect the camps to prevent everyone from being carried away by victory."
Yun Zheng's heart suddenly moved, "Did Beihuan send spies here?"
"right!"
Ye Zi nodded and said, "It happened this morning. Seeing that you have been so busy recently, I didn't go to see you."
What happened in the morning?
Yun Zheng's mind quickly became active.
Calculating the time, it has been almost ten days since Du Guiyuan and his men released those Beihuan captives.
So, those people have already brought the news back?
Did Bei Huan deliberately send spies to paralyze himself?
Um!
Very likely!
If he thought that Beihuan had some trick up his sleeve and moved all his troops to the area near Baishui River, Beihuan would come from the Valley of Death and he could quickly capture Shuofang and Suqu!
hehe!
Beihuan’s movements are quite fast!
But death will be quick!
Looking at the sly smile on Yun Zheng's face, the two women couldn't help but feel secretly curious.
"Are you trying to trick Bei Huan again?"
Ye Zi asked with interest.
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Let's wait and see! I hope Bei Huan will give me a chance to trick them!"
