As he spoke, he lifted the red cloth covering it.
This made the murmurs among the crowd even louder.
"What on earth is this thing?!"
"It's black, so big, and has wheels."
"Why is there a long pipe up there? What's that for?"
Amidst the ministers' discussions, Gu Jingchun finally spoke.
"Today, I will show you, the Great Qi, what real weapons are!"
She was holding a torch.
Li Yunba then placed something far away into the tube.
Gu Jingchun then lit the fuse with a torch.
With a burst of light, there was a soft sound first, then something flew out and landed in the distance with a loud "bang".
The sound was accompanied by firelight, and the earth shook.
Some of the ministers were so frightened that they lay on the ground and screamed.
"Did the earth shake?"
What happened?
Everyone was stunned by the commotion and stared in shock at the scene.
Then everyone looked toward the place that had exploded.
Some even bolder ones ran directly towards the explosion site, wanting to see what was going on.
When they returned, they couldn't stop shouting.
"What a huge pit, what a huge pit."
"This is clearly turning that firecracker into a powerful weapon."
"With this, wouldn't our Great Cheng be invincible? No matter how many enemies come, we only need to fire one cannonball, and they will all be blown to bits."
After the minister finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
After all, its power was too great.
The ministers, especially those from the Great Qi, all turned into quails, heads bowed, not daring to utter a single word.
After all, this is no ordinary weapon.
This is terrifying.
Mo Junxing stood up abruptly the moment the explosion occurred.
He looked at Gu Jingchun in the firelight.
At the moment of the explosion, Gu Jingchun turned around in the flames and smiled in the direction of She Chenhechuan.
Mo Junxing stared blankly at that smiling face.
The flames behind him looked like fireworks in full bloom.
I watched as she lifted her skirt and slowly ran towards me.
Step by step, she got closer and closer, but in the end she ran past him and suddenly threw herself into Shen Hechuan's arms.
He saw her smile deepen in Shen Hechuan's arms, and her eyes shone as brightly as the stars in the sky.
Previously, when he was imprisoned in the cold palace, his only food was taken away by a eunuch.
He was in so much pain that he lay helplessly on the ground from dawn till dusk.
The blazing sun in the sky has been replaced by overwhelming darkness.
In this dark sky, only a few stars emitted a faint light.
At that moment, he looked at the stars, reached out his hand, and tried to catch them.
It's so bright!
These stars are so bright!
He didn't ask for much.
He doesn't need that much sunlight at all.
He only needs a tiny bit of starlight.
That tiny glimmer of light was enough to illuminate his path, enabling him to stand up and gradually reach where he is today.
And now, he looked into Gu Jingchun's bright eyes.
It was as if I could see the stars from that night.
It's really, really bright.
This moment.
Mo Junxing could clearly feel his heart pounding violently.
"Thump"
"Thump"
"Thump"
Intense and rapid.
He clutched his chest, but his gaze remained fixed on Gu Jingchun.
But then he suddenly remembered what Gu Jingchun had said that day.
She said.
"Mo Junxing, do you know what love is?"
At that moment, he fell silent.
Because at that time, he didn't need to know at all.
Now, he can clearly tell Gu Jingchun.
He knew, he always knew.
However, at that time he had never truly experienced what love was.
And now...
He felt his heartbeat, and his tightly pursed lips slowly curled into a smile.
"Gu Jingchun, how could I possibly... bear to let go of someone like you?"
Shen Hechuan stood in the middle of the crowd, his eyes fixed nervously on Gu Jingchun's direction.
Just as Gu Jingchun lit the fuse, he was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe.
Until, the explosion rang out.
He knew he had succeeded.
At that moment, Gu Jingchun happily ran towards him.
Behind her were sparks flying everywhere, but all he could see was her running figure.
They were so happy, so excited.
The moment she threw herself into his arms, he felt her joy.
She whispered in his ear, "Hechuan, I did it, did you see it?"
"I really did it."
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"Yes, I saw it."
"Gu Jingchun, you are really great."
"You did a great job."
"Now, no one will look down on you anymore, no one will dare to look down on women, and no one will dare to bully or threaten our Great Cheng."
As he spoke, he placed his hands on Gu Jingchun's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and told her firmly and earnestly.
"Gu Jingchun, you are really great!"
"You saved tens of thousands of people in our Dacheng, and they will be proud of you."
Gu Jingchun looked into Shen Hechuan's eyes and nodded happily.
Ignoring the presence of so many ministers, she threw herself into Shen Hechuan's arms once more.
