"Okay, it just so happens that I also want to know how these things are assembled together and how powerful they are to actually destroy the mineral vein."
Sikong Zhan stood up and left the chair he had been sitting on for several hours. He casually picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Jinghan.
"Eat something first and rest for a while. Otherwise, if you lose your energy and something goes wrong, I won't save you."
"I don't need your help. If something goes wrong with me, the prince will suffer with me." Lin Jinghan took the teacup without hesitation and drank it all.
There were so many gunpowder blanks on the field. If one exploded, the others would explode with it. With that kind of force, the entire base would be blown away. And this man actually thought he could stay out of it? Naive! Ignorant!
As she imagined the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, she actually had the mind to take another look at the teacup in her hand - it was actually the same set of teacups that Sikong Zhan had specially prepared for her in his tent!
"It's just a dead thing, how can it hurt me?" Sikong Zhan didn't care. Seeing Lin Jinghan handing over the teacup, she actually looked like asking him to add more tea for her. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he picked up the teapot and added a cup of tea for her for the first time.
Seeing her quickly finish the tea, he looked at her dirty body, thinking that she had not rested for several hours and had not even had time to drink water. He did not feel disgusted at all and simply handed her the teapot.
Lin Jinghan didn't hesitate to take the teapot and started drinking from the spout. Her behavior could even be described as extremely rude.
"Thank you for the tea, Your Highness!" She finished her tea and threw the teapot to him.
Sikong Zhan took the teapot accurately, and as if his brain was twitching, he blurted out, "Do you want to drink more?"
"I'm not drinking anymore. Let's serve dinner. I'm starving..." Lin Jinghan didn't think there was anything wrong: she was so busy, wasn't it all for this man? He should provide for her.
Fortunately, no one else was present. If anyone else had been there, they would have been astonished. When had their prince ever been so considerate? Forget the princess. Even if it was the emperor, anyone who dared to touch the prince's things with their dirty hands or even throw his teapot would have been slapped away!
Seeing Lin Jinghan sitting on the chair he had sat on, Sikong Zhan realized that his behavior just now was very wrong - this woman actually drove him around, and it was he who started it, giving her the opportunity to take advantage of the situation!
Does this woman know that the husband is the leader of the wife?
He wanted to scold her without thinking, but when he saw her massaging his shoulders and patting his legs with one hand, looking tired, the anger in his heart instantly dissipated.
The two of them went into the tent, and Shiqi and the other two quickly brought dinner and also thoughtfully prepared bathing water and clean clothes for Lin Jinghan.
Lin Jinghan didn't think there was anything wrong with eating in such a dirty state. She still had to work soon anyway, and no matter how clean she cleaned it, it would get dirty again. She sat down calmly and started eating.
Sikong Zhan opened his mouth, wanting to tell her to wash her hands before eating, but he held back and didn't say it out loud - fortunately, her hands were clean and wouldn't dirty the food. Sikong Zhan comforted himself like this...
After eating and drinking, the two returned to the field.
"Your Highness, is your hand okay? I don't want to be blown away because of you." Lin Jinghan looked at Sikong Zhan's still bandaged palm and was very worried.
Now both of them have injured their hands, but she has been proficient for a long time and has no problem using one hand. But Sikong Zhan is different. He doesn't know how to do it at all. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome.
"My hand is fine now." Sikong Zhan raised his eyebrows. How much does this woman think of him? What she can do with one hand, he can't do!
"Oh, let's start." She patiently explained the production method to Sikong Zhan and demonstrated it several times. Sikong Zhan learned very quickly and no accidents happened throughout the process. In the end, Sikong Zhan's speed even surpassed Lin Jinghan. The two worked together and finally made all the blanks into simple gunpowder before dawn.
At this time, all the Jingnan troops had evacuated the mine and left the Bugui Mountain one after another.
After a brief rest, Lin Jinghan commanded the dozens of Jingnan soldiers who remained behind to place the gunpowder at the location she designated.
After a busy period, it was already noon.
"After making sure everyone has evacuated, light this fuse and all the gunpowder will explode one after another. Remember to choose the fastest runner to light the fuse." After emphasizing it again, Lin Jinghan was exhausted. She yawned and got into the carriage prepared for her.
"I want to have a good sleep. As long as the sky doesn't fall, don't call me."
Just when the Jingnan Army was about to evacuate, Mu Wenyao received news from Sikong Zhan. Knowing that everything was going well in the camp, he ordered the Jingnan Army to tie up all the people in the Jingji Defense Camp and bring them to Xiao Ce.
Looking at the 300 gorgeous people tied up in front of him, Xiao Ce was shocked to find that they were all from the Beijing Machinery Defense Battalion.
He never expected that the Jingnan Army not only won, but also won so beautifully. This was simply a slap in his face!
"According to the unwritten agreement in the military, the loser has to promise the winner something. Commander Xiao, what do you think?" Mu Wenyao was in a very good mood, smiling warmly, and waved his hand to let the people from the Beijing Machine Defense Battalion be released.
Mu Wenyao was so generous. Xiao Ce had already lost the competition and didn't want to lose to Mu Wenyao in terms of temperament. He bowed solemnly to Mu Wenyao and said:
"Your Highness is a master of military strategy. I, Xiao, am willing to admit my inferiority. I wonder what you would like me to promise you, Your Highness?"
"Yesterday, while I was sleeping, a goddess appeared in my dream and warned me that a dragon was about to rise up in the Bugui Mountain, and told me to evacuate this place immediately. You and I are colleagues, and I cannot bear to see you stay here and face danger. Therefore, all I ask is that you take your people away from this place as soon as possible and avoid danger for the time being."
"Are you kidding, Prince?" Xiao Ce looked at Mu Wenyao with a strange expression: Is he treating him like a three-year-old child? He wants him not to search Bugui Mountain, but to find a better excuse?
Mu Wenyao put away the smile on his face and said seriously:
"I'm giving you a kind reminder. If you don't listen to my advice, you'll end up harming these thousands of good men of the Beijing Aircraft Defense Battalion. You'll have to bear the consequences yourself." After saying that, Mu Wenyao led his men down the mountain without looking back.
He had already reminded him that whether Xiao Ce believed it or not, and whether he could get away with it safely, was none of his business.
Xiao Ce stared at Mu Wenyao's departing back and pondered for a long time. Seeing that the Jingnan Army had emerged from the Bugui Mountain one by one and left quickly, he began to believe Mu Wenyao's words. With the attitude of "better to believe it than not to believe it", he ordered:
"Everyone, retreat thirty miles and be prepared to evacuate at any time. If there is no movement here after three days, then go up the mountain."
"Commander, didn't the emperor tell us to..." a captain reminded.
Xiao Ce waved his hand and interrupted him, "I will explain to the emperor. You take your men to follow Mu Wenyao secretly and see what he intends to do."
