Chapter 226: The Same Talk

The topics of conversation began to diverge, and some of the elders in their families who were military commanders began to talk about the magical weapons used in the counterattack against Tu Ning.

"The name of that magic weapon is gunpowder. Do you know how magical it is?"

"As long as it is buried underground in advance, and then a fuse burns through it, it can blow the enemy to pieces."

"Dayue is truly a land of extraordinary people and talented people."

The young man was so proud that the other students also became excited.

"This time we attacked Thun with great momentum, but unfortunately we arrived too early and we didn't produce enough gunpowder."

"Otherwise, Wang Du would have grabbed it right off him."

Bei Jingchu looked at Zhou Huanjiu silently, her mouth almost breaking from her grin.

Just as Zhou Huanjiu was about to open her mouth to speak, she quickly went over and covered her mouth.

“Hmm—”

I'm afraid she has a big mouth and can't keep it to herself.

She had been keeping a secret for a long time, and her friends happened to be praising her to the sky in front of her. She felt like she couldn't hold back the feeling of showing off.

Bei Qin, who noticed the movement here, slowly put a non-existent question mark on his mind.

"It's okay, it's okay. Jiujiu and I are just playing. Cousin, you can have fun by yourself."

Bei Qin pointed his finger at Zhou Huanjiu uncertainly, and asked doubtfully: "But, she seems to be dying?"

Only then did she notice that her subordinate Zhou Huanjiu had rolled his eyes and his nose was blocked by the edge of her palm.

Bei Jingchu suddenly let go.

After all, her own talent was almost assassinated by herself. If Aye knew about this, he would scold her to death.

There was still a discussion: "Who do you think invented gunpowder?"

"This must not have been invented just now, otherwise there would not have been time to produce it in large quantities in secret."

"That person must be hidden like Xu Shaoqing."

"Now that the war has begun, it is almost time to reward you."

Xu Chengzhu joked, "It can't be the same as last time, where it's a certain female hero, right?"

Zhou Huan, who was standing on the side, puffed up his lips and wanted to shout: It’s me, it’s me, it’s me!

But a princess next to her was staring at her as she was about to make a move. Zhou Huanjiu was afraid of being suffocated again, so she could only reluctantly lower her head and eat, not participating in the discussion at the table.

Ah Tan thought what Xu Chengzhao said was ridiculous: "How is it possible?"

"We already have a female prodigy, and now there's another one like this, and it's also a girl?"

"So has destiny favored women in recent years? Will the world be turned upside down in the future?"

He said this as if he was joking, and no one paid any attention.

At this time in the palace, Bei Yanyu, who was not allowed to leave the palace, went to find Yang Cainu in a depressed mood.

"Ah Niang, Ah Ye Bad."

"My eldest sister left the palace to play with her classmates. He didn't allow me and my younger brothers and sisters to go with her, saying that we often saw my eldest sister in the palace."

"But I want to play with my elder sisters."

Yang Cainu held her daughter in her arms and muttered to herself absentmindedly: "She is really lucky..."

"Mother?"

Yang Cainu smiled and said, "It's nothing, Yanyu. Mother was just saying that your elder sister is blessed with a good life. She was able to escape danger. It's really God's blessing."

Bei Yanyu nodded stupidly: "Yes, yes."

His silly look made Yang Cainü feel uneasy.

It seems that there is really no hope of avenging my family in this life?

During the first few days of Bei Jing's socializing, good news from the front came in one after another.

Zhou Huanjiu, who made the greatest contribution, is now rewarded.

She was summoned to Yu's study.

The emperor discussed with his little cousin: "We have won a great victory on the front line, and you are the great hero."

"But you have to think carefully. Once you are conferred the title, you will never be able to leave the capital again."

Zhou Huanjiu didn't understand. The emperor choked for a moment. He was not used to communicating with stupid children and had to explain every sentence clearly.

But considering that he was a great contributor, the plastic cousin also showed rare patience.

"Just like Xu Shaoqing who narrowly escaped death before returning to the capital, once your role is known to the world, it will attract the covetousness of enemy countries or rebels."

"For them, if they can't capture you, it's better for you to die than for you to continue to serve Dai Viet."

"The capital is the most heavily guarded place. It's not safe to go out."

"Xu Shaoqing is in charge of agriculture and mulberry in the whole country, so he has to check everywhere."

"But you don't need it, so you are not allowed to leave the capital."

Zhou Huanjiu was stunned for a moment, thinking of the beautiful scenery he had read in the travel notes.

The sea was blue, the water and the sky were one color, and it was boundless. She had never seen it before and could not imagine it.

The mountains and rocks, after climbing up the mountain, it seems as if you can embrace the clouds.

She has never left the capital. If she agrees, she will be trapped in this city for the rest of her life.

She knelt down and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

"I wish not to leave the capital, and hope to be honored."

The emperor closed the memorial.

"Okay, then from today on, you should call yourself a minister."

"And there's no need to go to Hongbunkan."

Zhou Huanjiu:!!!

That was a pleasant surprise.

If she had known earlier that she didn't need to go to school anymore, what would it mean to not leave the capital? She didn't even hesitate.

Any entanglement would be disrespectful to those who cannot go to school!

The emperor said: "I will arrange a fake position for you in the Ministry of Works. Just focus on what you are interested in."

Zhou Huanjiu, who had never experienced the dangers of being a corporate slave, was foolishly looking forward to a better future.

The next day, when the emperor said: "Should such meritorious officials also be ranked as dukes and marquises?"

It started off exactly the same as when Xu Xinshu was conferred the title, and the court officials had an ominous premonition.

The emperor continued with the same rhetoric: "I have also decided to appoint this man as the Inspector of Arms."

It was not until Zhou Huanjiu came to the palace that the officials who had been promoted in the past five years were suddenly shocked.

But the officials who had experienced Xu Xinshu's title of nobility were speechless. His Majesty's rhetoric hadn't changed at all...

Naturally, some people raised doubts: "Your Majesty, the previous Xu Shaoqing was a woman."

"This Princess Zhou is not even 18 years old yet."

"Just a total kid!"

"How is it possible... How is it possible...?"

His kid is now at this age and he hasn’t even passed the exam to become a student.

The emperor's confidant Xu Lanqi played steadily and asked: "Isn't it a good thing that heroes emerge from the youth of our Great Yue?"

"Being able to create a magical weapon at such a young age, isn't that a good thing?"

"She is still only a young girl now, so until she dies, she can still make weapons for Daiyue for several more decades. Isn't that a good thing?"

The others were convinced, except Zhou Huanjiu, who was standing below, who felt that the words of the Minister of the Central Secretariat were impolite.

But the God of War, who was not very smart in interpersonal matters, thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was rude.
