Chapter 215 Suspicion
What's more, since it was a big matter like explosives, she naturally wouldn't let others do it.
Thinking about it now, Chu Shiheng really felt that he was a little too nervous just now.
But Chu Shiheng was very curious. When did she make the explosives when she was with him every day?
Could it be that making explosives is a very simple job?
Looking at Chu Shiheng's handsome face full of confusion, Yu Mengqing certainly knew what he was thinking.
So I had no choice but to explain again:
"Don't overthink making explosives. As long as you have saltpeter and enough materials, making it is extremely simple."
Isn't it simple? Just pour the materials into the machine in space and wait for the explosives to come out by themselves.
How complicated can it be?
Even if she has to wait, she doesn't have to. With Xiao Hei here, she just needs to go into the space and get the explosives, right?
If this isn't simple, then what does it take to be simple?
At this time, Yu Mengqing had also deeply realized that a lie needed to be covered up with more lies.
In fact, Chu Shiheng was still skeptical at this time.
But when he saw Yu Mengqing's calm expression, he subconsciously chose to believe her again.
Because of the retreat of the Manjing State, Chu Shiheng naturally led the army to move forward.
The enemy retreated, and he had to recapture his city again. Isn't this the meaning of war?
To prevent explosions, Chu Shiheng did not move forward quickly.
Instead, move forward step by step.
At this point, he had to be more cautious.
Besides, at this time, it seems that there is no need for him to rush.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lingshi County will be in his pocket.
Lingshi County and Pingyuan County are not far apart, only a few dozen miles away.
However, because of this reason, it took them three days to walk these dozens of miles.
Three days later, they finally arrived in Lingshi County.
But after seeing the villagers in Lingshi County, all the excitement disappeared.
The entire Lingshi County can be said to be in dire straits.
All the shops on the street were closed.
Faintly, you can still see some bloodstains on both sides of the street.
Seeing this, Yu Mengqing wanted to chop Man Jingzi into meat sauce.
It goes without saying that it was Man Jingzi who attacked the villagers of Lingshi County before retreating.
It's simply worse than an animal.
Unable to win on the battlefield, he resorted to this trick, which was indeed something Man Jingzi could do.
Yu Mengqing is not the only one who has this idea.
It was Chu Shiheng, and the same thing happened to Xue Zhonggui and the others who followed behind them.
"They must have done this when they were retreating." Guo Peiying said gritting her teeth.
"Mengqing..." Xue Zhonglan also seemed to be hesitant to speak to Yu Mengqing.
Obviously, they had all suppressed their anger to the extreme.
In the war between the two countries, the victims are already the common people. Why should such cruel measures be taken against them?
Is it just because the villagers in Lingshi County are not Manjingzi?
Seeing that the troops of the Great Xia Kingdom had arrived, some villagers finally came out cautiously.
"Auntie, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
Seeing these people wanting to come out but not daring to, Guo Peiying on the side felt extremely heartbroken and couldn't help but speak.
"Really? Are you really soldiers from the Great Xia Kingdom?"
"Of course it's true. Look at the clothes we wear, aren't they all from our Great Xia country?"
After saying this, Guo Peiying looked herself up and down, as if to verify her words.
Once there is one, there will be two. After hearing what Guo Peiying said, the nearby villagers stood up one after another.
"It's a good thing you guys came, otherwise, everyone in our county might have been killed by the barbarians."
"That's right. They just hacked at anyone they saw. It happened to be a market day today, so there were already a lot of people on the streets. You have no idea how scared we were when we saw it."
"That's right, luckily we hid in time, otherwise..."
Speaking of this, the villagers still looked frightened.
Listening to what the villagers said and considering the red streets, it is not difficult to know what happened.
"It's okay, we're here now, everything will be fine soon." Guo Peiying hurriedly comforted.
Looking at these skinny villagers, Guo Peiying subconsciously lowered her tone.
She has lived a life of luxury since childhood and has never experienced the feeling of hunger.
But since she followed Yu Mengqing to the war, she realized how luxurious her life had been before.
Yu Mengqing once told herself that the reason why you have such a good life in the capital is because of her.
It’s not that you were born nobler than them, but that others chose to sacrifice for you and carry the burden for you.
It is precisely because of them that you can enjoy a prosperous life in the capital.
In the past, Xue Peiying might have thought that these words were just for fun.
But now, she seemed to have gradually understood what Yu Mengqing meant.
One meal of yours may be as much food as the people here eat for a month.
All of this was earned at the cost of the lives of those on the front lines.
But I used to be unaware of the blessings I had.
And there are those soldiers who died in battle, each of them used his life to protect himself.
It was also because of them that she was able to live a life of luxury in the capital.
It was only after coming here that Guo Peiying realized that her good life in Beijing was built on them.
It is because of their efforts that I can have a good life.
But I have been squandering money recklessly.
Guo Peiying didn't know that Xue Zhonggui's eyes had never left her since she said her first sentence.
He didn't expect that the girl who was always yelling would have such a kind side.
She didn't seem to have the slightest disdain for the villagers' tattered and dirty clothes.
He even squatted down and gently brushed the dust off the child with his hands.
How could such a girl not be loved?
Xue Zhonggui looked at the pair of jade hands patting the villagers.
Even though she held weapons all year round during this period, it was still obvious that these were hands that lived a life of luxury.
There was no sense of incongruity when beating the villagers like this.
"Yes, yes, yes, you are here, you are really here. I'm afraid you know how long the people of Lingshi County have been waiting for this day."
"Well, we are late." Yu Mengqing said softly.
They were indeed late.
Yu Mengqing guessed that Lingshi County must have suffered a lot in the hands of Man Jingzi in the past two years?
"Where is the county government office?" Chu Shiheng asked in a deep voice.
It had been half an hour since he entered the city, but he hadn't seen a single person at the county government office.
"Yes, Shiheng, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten the existence of this place in the county." Guo Yalun quickly agreed.
He was not just saying this casually. If Chu Shiheng hadn't asked, he would have really forgotten about this place.
Xue Zhonglan on the side: "......"
He knew that Guo Yalun was impulsive in his actions, but he didn't expect that he would be so impulsive in his words as well.
"Lord Zhan, Lord Zhan, I'm here, I'm here."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in his forties with a chubby figure ran towards Chu Shiheng with great respect.
While running, he kept shouting "Prince Zhan".
Upon hearing this, everyone's first reaction was to raise their heads and look in the direction of the voice.
