Chapter 236: Princess of the Nation
Billowing black smoke rose up, it was very choking, Bai Qinghuan covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
When the black smoke gradually dissipated, everyone looked closely and saw that there was no grass growing at the place that was bombed, leaving only a pitch-black ground.
Chi Zhuorui stood on the top of the mountain, unable to suppress his laughter: "With this thing, I, Dongxi, will be able to beat the hell out of Nanzhao and Xirong!"
"Nanzhao, Xirong, just wait for me!"
Chi Zhuorui put his hands on his hips, looked up to the sky and laughed, his voice echoing in the valley for a long time.
Bai Qinghuan was quite satisfied with this result. Although it was much weaker than the explosives in his previous life, it was enough in this era of cold weapons.
After laughing enough, Chi Zhuorui bowed solemnly to Bai Qinghuan and said, "County Lady, I thank you on behalf of the entire Dongxi. After returning to the palace, I will report to the emperor and reward the county lady."
Bai Qinghuan couldn't say that this was what he was waiting for, so he pretended to be humble and said, "As a citizen of Dongxi, this is what I should do."
Chi Zhuorui said some more flattering words and returned to the palace with the prescription written by Bai Qinghuan.
Within an hour, the imperial decree conferring the title of Princess Zhenguo was issued.
Bai Qinghuan was actually also very surprised. She thought that being named a county princess was the best she could do, but she turned out to be a princess.
She is the Princess who defends the country. The word "defending the country" is not a casual award.
Her position in Dongxi will not be shaken as long as there is rebellion and she does not do it herself.
Lu Wanning was terrified when she found out: "Qinghuan, is this inappropriate?"
The emperor's daughter is a princess. Will Qinghuan be criticized from all sides if she is named a princess?
Bai Qinghuan took her arm and helped her sit down:
"Mom, this is what my daughter deserves."
The word "deserve" is worth pondering. She asked:
"What did you do this time?"
The last time my daughter was named a county princess, it was because of frostbite ointment. What did she come up with this time?
She knew that the seedlings planted by Qinghuan had not yet shown any results.
What could it be?
It's definitely not something ordinary.
Bai Qinghuan did not hide it and told the emperor the method of making gunpowder that he had read in ancient books.
Lu Wanning forgot to close her mouth: "Fire...gunpowder?"
"You said you could make gunpowder?"
How lucky was she to give birth to such an amazing daughter?
But thinking back, I was lucky it was successful. What if my daughter was blown away?
She would rather her daughter be ordinary and live in the care of her parents.
But if they were ordinary people, the three of them, mother and son, could not escape from that den of tigers and wolves.
For a moment, she was extremely conflicted.
She tightly grasped Bai Qinghuan's hand and said, "You are going to scare me to death."
He did great things quietly, and made a big splash, almost shocking people to death.
"Mom, it's okay. I'm sure it will be fine."
Lu Wanning said firmly:
"That won't work either. Don't touch these things from now on. The recipe has been handed over, so just leave it alone."
Bai Qinghuan knew she was worried, so she said obediently, "I know."
She turned around and pulled Bai Moxuan away. She wanted to slowly teach Xiaoxuan some things from her previous life.
"Xiaoxuan, do you want to learn?"
Bai Moxuan's little face turned red with excitement and he nodded frantically.
"Shh...I'll teach you."
The two of them slipped away like cats stealing fish.
Children cannot just study hard, they still need to broaden their horizons so that they can achieve something in the future.
Bai Moxuan was very interested in what Bai Qinghuan taught, which was better than what the Master taught.
He was like a sponge, madly absorbing the knowledge taught by Bai Qinghuan.
I think my sister is the most awesome person in the world!
The ministers were all confused. Why was she named a princess?
What big thing did the Princess Rong'an do again?
When they asked about it in the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince answered directly and they knew the answer without explaining it to them.
A few days later, on the battlefield, Chi Ming looked at the familiar handwriting on the prescription, and the longing in his heart surged like a tide.
"Pure joy..."
How can you be so nice? You can always help me out of my urgent needs.
Although this battle was difficult, he was confident of winning.
Nanzhao and Xirong have united, and it is not difficult to break their alliance.
If Qinghuan's things could be used, the war would end early.
A lot in advance.
One battle will definitely decide the outcome!
He now wished he could fly back to the capital immediately, hug her tightly, and integrate her into his bones and blood.
But, there is more business!
He couldn't let Qinghuan's efforts go to waste.
After a moment, he put away his thoughts and ordered Wu Han, the general guarding the southwestern border city:
"Distribute the crossbows and make sure they are handed over to your trusted associates."
Wu Han was skeptical. He had heard that the crossbows did not have a sufficient range, but since the prince had ordered them to be distributed, did that mean they had been modified?
I excitedly went out to try it, and sure enough, I even penetrated the target.
Hearing the loud laughter, Shu Feng felt a little itchy and wanted to go out to take a look.
Chi Ming copied the prescription on hand and gave it to Shu Feng.
"Find someone to make it. Remember to divide them into four groups and keep them separate so they can't communicate with each other."
"yes."
What is drawn on the blueprint is a lump of iron, which is gunpowder.
Is this Bai Qinghuan after his transformation?
My God, he was completely convinced.
How much does Bai Qinghuan know?
The prince really found a treasure.
Batches of iron lumps appeared on the border between Dongxi and Nanzhao, and Chi Ming escorted Yun Yi to the top of the city wall.
Before Chi Ming could say anything, the Nanzhao soldiers could not help but retreat.
They were well aware of the Regent's name as the God-killer.
Less than ten years had passed, and their fear of the Regent of Dongxi was no less than before.
Just one glance from the Regent made them want to kneel down.
Because I was really scared after being beaten before.
The eldest prince of Nanzhao was a little angry when he saw this: "You useless idiot! We have 500,000 troops, what are you afraid of?"
Then he looked at Chi Ming and couldn't help laughing: "Regent, no, you are no longer the Regent. I heard that you were thrown into the Heavenly Prison?"
"Emperor Dongxi is so cruel. He threw you into the Heavenly Prison because you were useless, and then released you when the war started. Aren't you disheartened?"
"Why don't you come to Nanzhao? We will definitely treat you as a guest of honor, and it won't be a problem to make you a king or a marquis."
Chi Ming still didn't say anything, but asked someone to lift Yun Yizi's head up.
The eldest prince carefully identified him and realized it was Yun Yizi.
Then he said without any concern:
"You don't think the Yun family can threaten Nanzhao?"
"The Yun family is just an insignificant chess piece. You can kill them if you want. Nanzhao will not retreat a single soldier."
Although Yun Yizi knew that Nanzhao would not withdraw its troops for him, he still felt a little disheartened to hear this.
For more than a hundred years and several generations, they have been delivering information to Nanzhao.
He even thought that after he successfully usurped the throne, he would still submit to Nanzhao.
But the eldest prince is so ruthless.
I wonder how sad my grandfather and father are in the underworld.
He felt sorry for the Yun family.
What else can he say at this point?
His entire family had been executed, and he was the only one left in the Yun family.
What's the point of him living?
With red eyes, she begged Chi Ming and screamed in a hoarse voice:
"Chi Ming, you killed me!"
“Kill me!”
