Chapter 204: Not Doing Business
After hearing Yu Mengqing's seemingly convincing explanation, everyone naturally had no doubts at all.
Of course, except Chu Shiheng.
Because he knew that Yu Mengqing did not send anyone to look for saltpeter.
He returned to the general's mansion with her, and it can be said that his eyes never left her.
If it was as she said, she had asked someone to find the saltpeter in advance.
Then no one reported to her about the discovery of saltpeter.
So how did she know that saltpeter had been found?
Of course, except for the more than an hour she spent away after returning to the military camp for dinner.
Therefore, Chu Shiheng was very sure that Yu Mengqing must not have asked someone to find out the information in advance.
If he guessed correctly, she must have her own special way to find saltpeter.
But since she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't doubt it.
Yu Mengqing also knew that the explanations she had just given would inevitably arouse Chu Shiheng's suspicion.
Others may easily believe in themselves.
But Chu Shiheng, who had been by his side the whole day, obviously couldn't believe it.
Just look at how his eyes fall on me from time to time. I'm not blind, so how could I not know?
But so what?
She didn't want to say, so who could know how she knew? How did she know?
Or in other words, who can guess her true identity?
"Then shall we set off now?" Xue Zhonggui asked.
"Um!"
Then they immediately arranged for the elite troops to set off.
Following the direction specified by Yu Mengqing, the group quickly found the plain hot spring pool.
"Is this the place?" Xue Zhonggui asked while standing in a place with higher temperature.
"Yes, it's right here. Remember, when digging, you must move gently and slowly. Don't rush."
"If we're not careful, it will cause an explosion. Not only will the miners lose their lives, but everyone here will also die."
Yu Mengqing stood among the crowd and said very seriously.
"Then how should we identify this saltpeter?" Xue Zhonglan asked curiously.
Tonight she and Guo Peiying also came out with the crowd.
From the moment she decided to go to war with the army, she was no longer the daughter of a marquis.
Here, she is just one of the members.
This is what Yu Mengqing said to her before going to the battle.
Xue Zhonglan never thought that one day, the cowardly Yu Mengqing would become so powerful.
So strong that I need to follow her example.
"It's easy. You can tell them apart by their color and smell," said Yu Mengqing.
Then he explained in detail to everyone how to distinguish them.
The people who came this time were all carefully selected.
The main thing is that mining saltpeter is indeed a very cautious and dangerous job.
It is not something that can be accomplished by simply picking a few elite soldiers.
Yu Mengqing herself didn't dare to gamble everyone's lives like this.
"You mean the gray one is saltpeter?" Xue Zhonglan asked.
"Well, there's also the smell. It's best to smell it as well. There should be a lot of it in this area. Be careful." Yu Mengqing reminded again.
When Chu Shiheng heard this, he frowned subconsciously.
In this case, this explosive should be an extremely powerful weapon.
How could Yu Mengqing know how to make it?
Moreover, how did she come up with the idea of making this saltpeter into explosives?
Besides, how did she know that saltpeter would cause an explosion?
They just said that saltpeter is just an ordinary medicine in the pharmacy.
So how did Yu Mengqing know how to use saltpeter to make explosives?
Most importantly, she can still make it work.
He always knew that Yu Mengqing was not simple.
But who is Yu Yumengqing's real identity? He still hasn't figured it out.
He only knew that she was no longer the cowardly and incompetent Yu Mengqing.
It is also possible that she is hiding her incompetence, but he doesn't know why she does this?
Chu Shiheng guessed that if a person's temperament could change so much before and after, then something irresistible must have happened in between.
But what exactly is going on?
What could have caused such a drastic change in Yu Mengqing's personality?
After hearing Yu Mengqing's instructions, everyone even became cautious when walking.
I was afraid that it would explode if I stepped on it accidentally.
The men dug in the hot spring pool all night long.
When the first batch was dug out, Yu Mengqing found an excuse to take the saltpeter back first.
Chu Shiheng, Xue Zhonggui and others were left here to watch.
Seeing Yu Mengqing eager to go back, Chu Shiheng couldn't help but ask, "Do you really not need me to go back to help?"
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I can do it myself."
She had no intention of doing it herself. As long as she put the saltpeter into the space, someone, no, a machine would do it for her.
Chu Shiheng following her back would only hinder her 'production'.
In fact, looking at Yu Mengqing's expression, how could Chu Shiheng not know what she was thinking?
Seeing that she was in such a hurry, I thought she must be in a hurry, so I didn't argue with her too much.
In his opinion, even if Yu Mengqing was hiding something from him, she knew it in her heart.
Naturally, I won't do anything wrong.
Seeing that Chu Shiheng did not ask to come with her, Yu Mengqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already midnight, and this place was in the wilderness, so there were not many people around.
After walking around the place and making sure that there was no one around, Yu Mengqing walked to a small corner.
After looking around again and finding that there was no one, he entered the space.
Don't we have to be more careful?
Although it is the middle of the night, my recent series of actions are indeed very suspicious.
Especially Chu Shiheng.
His actions tonight have made him doubt himself the entire night.
Of course, Yu Mengqing had no intention of hiding it from him.
If he can really guess my identity, I will tell him the truth.
Otherwise, let everything go as it comes.
Yu Mengqing seemed very open-minded about all this.
If you know me, just tell me the truth. If you don’t know me, then don’t say anything.
In the space, late at night is when Xiao Hei is most energetic.
Looking at the saltpeter that his master brought into the space.
Xiao Hei knew without guessing that he had something to do next.
Fortunately, these explosives can be placed in the machine, so it doesn't have to do it itself.
As if he had thought of something, Xiao Hei said to Yu Mengqing again: "Have you been idle lately?"
Yu Mengqing was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Why doesn't she do her job properly? She just gives birth to babies and goes to war. She is never idle for a single day.
Seeing Yu Mengqing looking so silly, Xiao Hei didn't want to remind her anymore.
