The real Deng Yi has been killed and replaced by a fake Deng Yi.
That explains everything.
No wonder they couldn't find anything wrong with Deng Yi; his identity was indeed correct, but the person in question had been replaced.
"What amazing disguise skills!" Xiao Yanchu exclaimed.
Su Ruojin nodded in agreement. It was indeed impressive; even she hadn't noticed.
If Su Ruojin hadn't been prepared and tested her at every turn, she wouldn't have discovered that the previous 'Su Muyao' was a fake Su Muyao.
It seems that the only drawback of this disguise technique is its unstable skin color.
Since that's the case...
"Yanchu, in seven more days, Muyao can return to the Su residence. Then we should make our move." Su Ruojin picked up the sulfur ledger and started flipping through it.
It's time to settle this score with the Wei family.
Looking at the ledger in her hand, Su Ruojin felt a vague unease, hoping it wasn't what she thought.
Three days later, some details of the Wei family's acquisition of sulfur were delivered to Xiao Yanchu's desk.
A full 100 jun (3,000 jin), such a large quantity, no merchant could have done it without the Wei family's intervention.
Su Ruojin didn't expect that she would receive an urgent report from Mo Han in less than seven days.
The Northern Li launched a surprise attack on the border of the Great Chu at night, resulting in a large-scale explosion. The enemy threw a dark ball that exploded as soon as it hit the ground, causing heavy casualties among those near the ball.
The Chu army had to retreat before it even got close to the Bei Li army.
A small squad from the Great Chu region attempted to flank the Northern Li forces, but when they reached an open area, an explosion occurred, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries to the entire squad.
Even Su Wenzhou was injured in the explosion and remains unconscious to this day.
It can be said that the Mohan Border Army, which was once invincible against Bei Li, suffered heavy losses this time. Moreover, the Great Chu suffered heavy casualties even though Bei Li lost almost no soldiers.
Xiao Chen also received the battle report and summoned Su Yunfeng, Xiao Yanchu, and other ministers to the palace overnight to discuss countermeasures.
When Xiao Yanchu returned home and told Su Ruojin about it, Su Ruojin immediately understood that Bei Li bought so much sulfur in order to make explosives!
Lin Wanqing!!
Damn it!
Su Ruojin never expected that Lin Wanqing would actually dare to create a firearm that didn't belong to the technology of this era!
At the same time, news of earth-shaking tremors came from various places including Xiaoyue, Yunqi, Beili, and Dachu.
Su Ruojin wasn't sure if it was caused by Lin Wanqing disrupting the historical process of this era, but regardless, if things continued like this, the world would surely descend into chaos.
Leaving aside whether this parallel world will be destroyed as a result, Bei Li has always been known for its brutality. If Bei Li were to possess such a weapon, the Nine Provinces would only be plunged into misery.
If the Great Chu is like this, perhaps the next one will be Xiaoyue or Yunqi.
After discussing it with everyone, Xiao Chenyi decided that Xiao Yanchu would lead the army to support Mo Han the next day.
Su Yunfeng then went to Zhenyi Pass to prevent the Northern Li from attacking the Great Chu from multiple points and to make advance preparations.
At this point, everyone understood why Lin Zhengshan and his wife had gone to the Su residence to steal the Great Chu defense map.
This is the day we've been waiting for!
With explosives and defense maps, the attack can be planned according to the deployment of the Great Chu forces.
Judging from this, Bei Li's ambitions this time are quite large.
What they want is not Mo Han, but the entire Great Chu!
After returning to the palace and recounting the whole story to Su Ruojin, Xiao Yanchu looked at her with some guilt and said, "Ajin, I'm sorry. You're pregnant, but I can't be by your side."
In those days, travel was slow, and no one knew how long a war would last.
It can take anywhere from one or two months to one or two years, or even three to five years, or seven or eight years.
It's even impossible to predict whether they'll ever return.
The farewells that soldiers say to their families before each campaign may be their last.
This time, Bei Li came with great force, using weapons he had never heard of before. Xiao Yanchu had no confidence that he would be able to return anytime soon.
Xiao Yanchu did not explain in detail the danger of the weapons in Bei Li's hands in the battle report, for fear that A Jin would worry.
Perhaps when he returns next time, his child will have already been born, or even grown up.
