Chapter 154 Ancient Rebellion Stupid Female Supporting Character 24 Weapons
From then on, Yan Mi had nothing to do except for the constant incoming news from the front line.
Every piece of news touched her heart, but the situation on the front line was tense, and nothing serious had happened to Yan's father and Yan Cheng.
It was not until she heard that Zhao Mingzhang had also gone to the front line that Yan Mi guessed that the State of Zhao was going to take real action.
She only hoped that her father and brother could escape danger.
The morning mist disappeared the moment the sun came out. The sword in Yan Mi's hand slid across the leaves, and leaves fell one by one.
She turned her wrist and caught one of the fallen leaves with her sword.
She picked up the leaf and looked at it, feeling that the leaf was destined to be with her, so she picked it up and went home to have someone dry it and make it into a souvenir.
The Cheng Kingdom is recruiting soldiers everywhere. In this world that relies on manpower, the war will not stop in the short term.
Most of the refugees are also wandering around, and resettling them is a considerable expense.
State governments are already doing their best to accommodate these refugees.
Yan Mi heard the news from Han Chengdao. The situation is serious now. Although the people have patriotic hearts, they are not of much help to the situation.
Yan Mi comforted Han Cheng, saying, "The Emperor of Zhao has personally gone to the front lines to boost morale. Their bravery is no problem. Besides, Zhao has fewer people and a smaller territory than us. If we only compete on population, Zhao cannot defeat us."
Han Chengdao always thought so, but the people suffered in the war, and if he wanted to live and work in peace, he had to put an end to the war as soon as possible.
Seeing that he was really worried, Yan Mi thought that she might need to come up with something else.
If cold weapons are not enough, then make some hot weapons. They are invincible in today's wars.
So Yan Mi asked someone to collect the necessary materials.
Some materials are available now, but the era is different from what she is familiar with, so no explosives or anything like that were found.
Maybe there is, but it may have been overlooked.
Yan Mi experimented for a few days according to his memory and finally found the right formula.
With a bang, Yan Mi closed her eyes and black smoke came out from in front of her table.
The servants guarding outside were all startled and hurriedly asked Yan Mi what happened. When they saw Yan Mi standing there fine, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lady, what are you doing? Why did it suddenly ring?"
"It's just a little noise. Go out quickly and don't disturb me." Yan Mi drove them out with a sour face.
She went to check the table and found that it was all blackened. Fortunately, she didn't use much material, so it didn't cause a bigger impact.
After increasing the dosage, Yan Mi felt it was not convenient to try it in the palace, so she found an excuse to go to the temple to pray and asked Han Chengdao to let her out of the palace.
She followed the palace servants up the mountain. When they were resting on the way, she had someone pretend to be her and she herself slipped away secretly.
After finding a secluded open space, Yan Mi took out the explosives he had hidden.
"This time, let's see how powerful you are." Yan Mi said.
Because he was afraid of being blown up, Yan Mi deliberately ran away before detonating the explosives.
A huge explosion resounded throughout the valley. Yan Mi, hiding behind a tree in the distance, only showed his head. The surroundings were filled with flying dust, and the specific situation over there could not be seen clearly.
Covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, Yan Mi walked over and took a look. A big hole had been blown out in the surrounding open space, and half of a rock had been blown off.
She nodded with satisfaction, it seemed to be enough.
Because this thing hurts people regardless of friend or foe, Yan Mi would never use it on a large scale. She would only use it when there was a specific need.
She left with satisfaction. The people around who heard the noise looked towards the source of the noise in fear, but they only saw a huge pit and nothing else.
They couldn't help but think that this was some kind of supernatural thing. They bowed to the pit and hurried away.
When Yan Mi rushed back, the team just arrived at the temple, and Yan Mi took the opportunity to change his identity back.
She was received by the abbot of the temple. When the abbot saw her, he chanted "Amitabha" and guided Yan Mi to worship the gods.
After the worship, the abbot called Yan Mi and said, "This temple feels that there is a connection between you and the donor, so this thing is given to you."
Yan Mi knew that Buddhism emphasized karma, so he didn't refuse. "Do you think the country will win this war?"
The host is mysterious and cryptic, "Man's actions are up to man, but God's will is up to God. The donor may be the one who breaks the deadlock."
Yan Mi was incredulous, "Me?"
The host nodded, "It's the donor."
Yan Mi kept thinking about this matter on the way back. She felt that the host was too mysterious. When she went in to worship Buddha just now, she felt as if she was being seen through.
After she returned, Han Chengdao noticed the bracelet on her hand and asked, "Where did you get this bracelet?"
Yan Mi raised his hand and looked at it. "It was given by the abbot of the temple."
Han Chengdao said mysteriously, "It seems like you're quite appealing to him."
Yan Mi was a little confused as to why Han Chengdao would say that.
Han Chengdao explained, "It is said that this string of beads has existed since the founding of the temple. It has been hundreds of years now. Many people have asked for it, but the abbot has refused to give it to them. I am giving it to you today, which means that you and him are destined to be together."
Yan Mi looked at the beads in his hand and suddenly felt that this black bead string suddenly became noble. "Should I offer this thing as a tribute?"
Han Chengdao said, "If I give it to you, it's yours now. I think it's better for you to wear it and let it protect you."
"Okay." Yan Mi put down his hand, thinking that this trip would be worthwhile.
But she thought of something else and asked Han Cheng, "Did Zhao use any incredible weapons in the battle on the front lines?"
"Incredible weapon?" Han Chengdao thought for a moment, his face solemn. "It seems that there is indeed one. That thing is extremely powerful. I don't know where they got it from. It has put our army in a passive position and caused countless casualties."
Yan Mi's heart sank. She had thought the explosives she made could help them, but she hadn't expected that Zhao State already had some. "I know what that is. I accidentally made it a while ago. It scared me at the time. There was a bang and a small hole appeared on the table, just like it had been burned by fire."
Han Chengdao looked at her in shock, "If there really is such a thing, then I must see it."
Yan Mi dug out the gunpowder, a ball of black powder, "This is it."
Han Chengdao took a look at it, but he couldn't feel happy at all. "This thing is really good."
Seeing that his expression was not right, Yan Mi asked with concern: "Why is the emperor still frowning? Is this thing not good enough?"
"I have something to tell you." Han Chengdao thought of the letter he received in the afternoon, and he felt bad. After holding Yan Mi's hand, he slowly spoke, "Your brother was injured on the front line. It was Zhao Guo who used this thing. I heard that he also broke an arm."
Yan Mi's heart stopped for a moment, "What about my brother?"
Yan Mi knew that medical conditions in ancient times were poor and even the flu could be fatal, let alone having an arm blown off on the front line.
She had given them amulets before, and Tong's father had also said that he could report their safety for once, but now she is injured, and the injury must be very serious.
"Can you let my brother come back? He's injured, let him come back to recuperate, Your Majesty?" Yan Mi begged desperately. She couldn't imagine what would happen if Yan's mother knew the news.
"Yan Cheng doesn't want to come back. He said he will never leave as long as he is alive." Han Chengdao said.
"Then you can order him to come back, he will listen to you. I don't want to see him die. I only have one brother." Yan Mi's eyes were red from crying, her heart was full of concern for Yan Cheng.
No one else knew about this weapon, only she understood the principle behind it. If she could go to the front line, she would definitely be able to destroy Zhao's weapons.
Yes, she is going to the front line!
The host just said today that she might be the one to break the deadlock.
Yan Mi didn't ask Han Chengdao to issue an order to let Yan Cheng come back. Her eyes were firm, as if she had to go. "Your Majesty, I want to go to the front line."
Han Chengdao squeezed her hand tightly, his entire body tense. "Nonsense! Are you supposed to go to the front line? Do you know how disrespectful your words are?"
"Zhao State is so powerful, but no one understands it now. I am the only one who knows a little bit. As long as I go to the front line, I can help. Do you want to see my father and brothers all die on the battlefield?" Yan Mi wanted to pull her hand away, but she couldn't. She couldn't release her emotions, so she could only yell at Han Chengdao.
Han Chengdao also felt uncomfortable. Yan Cheng was not only Yan Mi's brother, but also his good brother. How could he want him to die on the battlefield?
"Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield. Can you bear to let me watch you die? Mi'er, it's not that I'm cruel, but at a moment like this, the soldiers on the front line can only fight to the death." Han Chengdao hugged Yan Mi and said to her.
Yan Mi broke down and cried, she seemed unable to do anything.
Han Chengdao stayed by Yan Mi's side. After Yan Mi had almost calmed down, he changed the subject. "Mi'er, didn't you say you've found the formula? Show it to me. I'll have people from the Ministry of Works research it. If it's useful, we'll put it into use in the Ministry of War. That way, we won't be passive and vulnerable."
Yan Mi nodded. Her head was deprived of oxygen from crying and she felt dizzy. She agreed to whatever Han Chengdao said.
Han Chengdao ordered people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to take action overnight, and research and development began the next day.
Just when they made a breakthrough, news came from the border again.
Zhao State attacked vigorously and another city was captured. Yan's father was also injured on the battlefield and his life or death is now unknown.
Yan Mi had just calmed down, but when he heard the news, he couldn't stand still.
At the same time, she became more determined to go to the battlefield. Damn Zhao State, she would make all these people pay the price!
When Yan's mother learned of this, she hurried to the palace to find Yan Mi. However, Yan's mother seemed even more calm and composed. "Your father and brother have been injured one after another. It's uncertain whether they will come back. Now, there are only the two of us in my Yan family. You must understand this well, okay?"
Yan Mi nodded, "Mom, I will. Don't worry too much. Father and brother will definitely come back safely."
Mother Yan nodded and wiped away her tears subtly. "Your father and brother have been defending our country for so many years, and they have suffered many injuries, big and small. Mother knows that they are lucky and will not die easily."
Seeing that her mother was still holding on, Yan Mi was unwilling to take the initiative to dispel this fragile hope.
After spending half a day with Yan's mother, Han Chengdao came back and said, "There is no one to command the soldiers on the border now. I will lead the troops to support them in two days. You will wait for me in the capital."
Yan Mi stopped him and asked, "How is the weapons research of the Ministry of War going?"
"It's almost done. I will definitely come back safely this time." Han Chengdao said.
"I want to go too. I want to go to the frontier with you!"
"No, you just wait for me in the capital. I will be fine. I will definitely bring your father and brother back to see you safely and soundly." Han Chengdao's words were firm and full of tenderness.
How could he bear to let his beloved woman go to the battlefield? That kind of place was not the place Yan Mi should stay.
