It can be said that since Master Yang entered the military camp, there was no possibility for him to get out alive. Regardless of whether explosives were developed or not, this hill was destined to become Master Yang's burial place.
Shen Yu wanted to continue shaking Master Yang, but Master Yang was snatched away by someone.
"Come here, quickly call the military doctor and make sure Master Yang is alive."
"Yes, General."
Jiang Kui then turned his gaze to Shen Yu: "Miss Shen, tell me honestly, have you really developed explosives?"
Shen Yu saw that the general had a calm face without any anger, and he did not feel relieved. Instead, he felt upset.
She felt that something was wrong with the general at the moment. If her answer did not satisfy the general, she believed that she would definitely have an extremely miserable end.
But how could she answer this question? The explosion in the cave had indeed proved that explosives had been researched, but she had not written down the specific proportions. Master Yang was also injured in the explosion, and it was not known whether he could be saved.
Even if she wanted to shirk responsibility and put all the blame on Master Yang, she had to make the general believe her.
If she had not asked the general for a reward before, she could have said that Master Yang had made a mistake and accidentally caused the explosion, and that the explosives were still under research.
But it was all too late. She had already reported to the general that the explosives had indeed been found, and she confidently asked for a reward from the general. The general did not treat her unfairly and promised that after the eldest prince ascended the throne, he would make her the queen.
But these promises were based on the explosives. Judging from the current situation, she seemed to have pushed herself into a dead end.
Because even if the general gave her more time, she didn't have the confidence to make the explosives.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu's face was filled with despair, but she couldn't blame anyone else. It was all due to her own greed.
Jiang Kui looked at Shen Yu's expression. What was unclear? The explosion in the cave, what was unclear? Shen Yu had not researched explosives at all.
The fact that a corner of the cave collapsed due to the explosion was simply an accident, but Shen Yu made him mistakenly believe that explosives had been developed.
If it were any other time, he would never have believed Shen Yu's words so completely.
It would have been fine if he hadn't verified it, but he hadn't even asked about the ratio of charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter right away. Instead, he was led by Shen Yu and discussed the issue of rewards with him, which ultimately led to such a huge mistake.
Thinking of this, Jiang Kui looked at Shen Yu as if he was looking at a dead person. He had never been teased by anyone in his life.
Unexpectedly, he would fall into a trap today and fall into the trap of a woman he didn't care about, which made him extremely upset.
However, even though he was filled with rage, he could not vent his anger on Shen Yu.
After all, the explosives have not been made, and if he wants to get them, he still has to rely on Shen Yu.
However, this misunderstanding was not without gain. At least it made him know Shen Yu's true ability.
Shen Yu did not really know the formula of explosives as she said. It only meant that Shen Yu knew what ingredients explosives were made of and what things could be made into explosives.
If Shen Yu had known the ratio of explosives clearly, he would never have spent more than ten days and gained nothing.
But today was just an explosion. He believed that if there was a first time, there would be a second time. As long as he persisted, Shen Yu would be able to make the explosives one day.
After thinking this through, Jiang Kui immediately adjusted his expression and spoke to Shen Yu in a gentler voice.
"Miss Shen, please get up quickly. This is not your fault. Explosives are a serious matter, and mistakes are inevitable. This general believes that even if you managed to make explosives by accident this time, there will be a next time to truly master the proportions and bring explosives to the world."
