Chapter 104 Powerful Weapons
Then he got up and went out to greet Fu Yingran. When he saw Fu Yingran’s pale face, he couldn’t help but mutter, “You didn’t listen when you were in the Imperial Capital. Why did you come here? Look at your pale face. Hurry up and go in. I just got a pheasant yesterday. I’ll have the chef make you a chicken soup later so that I can make it up for you.”

As he spoke, he took Fu Yingran into his arms and walked into the tent together. Then, he instructed the guards, “Go tell the chef to quickly stew the pheasant I beat yesterday.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” the guard answered. Then, they turned around and left the tent. Jin’er, Cui’er, and Nalan Jinhong watched Huyan Mingshuo hug Fu Yingran like this. It was no surprise that they had seen such a scene. Thus, the three of them consciously left to report to Great General Mu Feng and arrange a place to stay.

After Huyan Mingshuo brought Fu Yingran into the tent, he helped her lie on the bed and pulled the blanket to cover her before asking, “Why did you come here? Your body is so weak, what if you fall into the root of your illness in the future?”

Fu Yingran’s heart warmed as she listened to his constant nagging. She couldn’t help but stretch out her hand and hug his neck and say, “Will you stop nagging me? Can you sleep with me for a while? I haven’t slept well without you these days.” “Besides, don’t you want to tell me about your battle with Nanjiang during this period of time?”

Huyan Mingshuo was teased by her. His body immediately reacted. He immediately took off his shoes, laid down beside her, and hugged her in his arms. He said, “Speaking of this matter, it makes me angry. During this period of time, even though we have experienced a few battles in the southern border, both large and small, they are small in scope. The people of the southern border are very cunning. Seeing that they can no longer defeat us, they retreated back into the barrier.”

“Strictly speaking, we have never fought head-on with the people of the Southern Region. They created this miasma barrier to block the way between the two armies. Our people simply cannot cross it. Furthermore, once we approach that barrier, our soldiers will be poisoned and lose their ability to fight. Before you came, I was worried about this matter.”

Fu Yingran lay quietly in his arms, playing with his hair and asking, “Do you know what kind of poison it is? Has the antidote been developed?”

‘”That poison isn’t difficult to cure. It’s just that the soldiers were repeatedly poisoned. There’s a shortage of Chinese herbs in the army, and the supplies are not keeping up. So many people can’t get timely treatment. They can only drag it out and let the more serious ones get treated first.” Speaking of this, Huyan Mingshuo’s brows furrowed into a washboard.

Seeing this, Fu Yingran reached out and smoothed his eyebrows. “Is there no way to break that barrier?” He asked. When Fu Yingran walked in just now, she saw that most of the soldiers showed signs of poisoning. If this barrier was not broken as soon as possible, then Ye Lan’s army would be dragged down. If this continued, she would probably only let explosives appear in this era.

Huyan Mingshuo took her hand and shook his head. “I am thinking of a way to break it, but it seems that none of them will work.”

Looking at Huyan Mingshuo’s depressed expression, Fu Yingran immediately made up his mind. Since some people were destined to die, the world would be peaceful, then he should try his best to protect his own people. As for post-war reconstruction, he should take a step back. If all of his people were exhausted in the war, post-war reconstruction would definitely be the same difficulty.

So she went into Huyan Mingshuo’s embrace and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll write a list for you later. You can ask people to not find those things according to the list. I guarantee that after tomorrow, this miasma barrier will disappear, and our army of Ye Lan will become a terrifying army of tigers and wolves on this continent.”

Huyan Mingshuo was overjoyed after hearing this. He knew that as long as Fu Yingran was around, he would definitely think of a way to deal with Nanjiang. He had always felt that Fu Yingran’s brain was always filled with strange things that they had never seen before.

Such a feeling, Since his last time, After seeing Fu Yingran’s blueprint for the improved weapon, Her thoughts were unprecedented. Furthermore, the weapons she had created according to the blueprints were indeed much more lethal. For this reason, he had specially ordered people to burn the blueprints to prevent the blueprints from leaking out, so they didn’t have any advantages.

So he also believed that what she said must be true, so he agreed straightforwardly, “Alright, take a rest first. Wait until you have finished resting before writing. Anyway, it has already taken so long, and it won’t be too long.” As he spoke, he hugged Fu Yingran and prepared to lie down to sleep. Coincidentally, he hadn’t slept well for several days. Seeing Fu Yingran now, he relaxed and his sleepiness instantly rose.

However, Fu Yingran quickly pulled him and said, “you ‘d better tell them to go down first, I only wrote a few words, “It won’t be tiring. After we rest for a while, they’ll have everything ready. I’ll tell you the recipe and let you do it. I’ll just watch. However, this weapon is extremely destructive. I hope you don’t try to use it. The recipe can only be known by you. You must not spread it out.”

Even though she knew that once something appeared, the recipe would spread sooner or later, she still thought that it was only a matter of time before she could conceal it. After all, the death and injury rate caused by the use of explosives was too high. To these ignorant ancients, such damage would undoubtedly destroy the heavens and the earth.

Huyan Mingshuo agreed without thinking, “Alright, I promise you, the formula will definitely not be spread out from me. However, if someone deciphers it, I can’t guarantee it. After all, there are no walls that are impervious to the wind. There are still a lot of smart people in this world. Wait a moment, I’ll bring you the ink and paper. You can write it on the bed.” After saying that, he got out of bed and went to the study. Not long after, he placed the ink, paper, and inkstone on a small table and brought it over with him.

Although he didn’t know what it was, since Fu Yingran had said so, it must be a very serious matter. In any case, his goal was to destroy Nanjiang. The rest was up to Fu Yingran to arrange.

Afterwards, he placed the table directly in front of Fu Yingran. Fu Yingran did not pretend. He immediately sat up and leaned on the table. After a few lines of writing, he handed the paper to Huyan Mingshuo and said, “That’s all. Have someone prepare it quickly.”

Huyan Mingshuo took it and took a look. There were some useless things written on it. He couldn’t help but ask confusedly, “What’s the use of these things? They’re useless things. Don’t tell me that you used these messy things to create the powerful weapons you said.”

Looking at Huyan Mingshuo’s suspicious expression, Fu Yingran was too lazy to pay attention to him, because she had no way to explain this matter. After all, this was something that only appeared a few years later, so she said with a careless gaze, “Alright, you don’t need to ask any more questions. Hurry up and instruct me. I’m so tired, can you accompany me to rest for a while?” Actually, she wasn’t tired. She had been resting on the carriage all along the way. She only saw the exhaustion in Huyan Mingshuo’s eyes and the thick black circles around his eyes. Her heart ached endlessly. She wanted to let him rest as well.

“Alright then, lie down first. I’ll be right back.” As he spoke, he took the list and left. Since Fu Yingran said that this matter could not be spread out, then he had to arrange for someone he trusted to handle it. Thus, he did not hesitate to think of Nalan Jinhong. Poor Prince Bingjian, before his butt was even hot, he was called to run errands by Huyan Mingshuo.

Fu Yingran watched him leave in a hurry, Huyan Mingshuo yawned, pulled the blanket and leaned against the bed to wait for him to come back. After about a cup of tea, Huyan Mingshuo returned. Seeing that Fu Yingran was still waiting for him, he walked to the bed in three or two steps. He took off his coat and lifted the blanket before lying down. He said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged it. I’ll take advantage of this time to accompany you for a while.”

After he lay down, Fu Yingran reached out and hugged him. He buried his head in his chest and said, “Ming Shuo, I miss you so much. Can you hug me?” Ever since she gave birth to the child, she had never seen Huyan Mingshuo again. The longing in her heart had never been so intense. Now, with great difficulty, he was within her reach. She wanted to get close to him. Anyway, this was her husband. She could do whatever she wanted.

Huyan Mingshuo took Fu Yingran into his arms and said dotingly, “I was thinking about you running all the way. I was afraid that you would be exhausted. I wanted you to have a good rest. Since you weren’t tired, then I won’t stand on ceremony. Do you know how much I missed you in the past month?” As he spoke, he put his hand into her underwear and asked in a low, hoarse voice, “Is that all right now?”

Of course, Fu Yingran knew what he was asking, so he nodded in his arms and replied softly, “Yes, it’s been a month.” As soon as she finished speaking, Huyan Mingshuo rolled over and pressed her under his body, kissing her lips … Everything was so natural.

At this time, Fu Tianchen and Duanmu Jing said, They also happened to bring Madam Cui into the imperial palace of the Great Wei Kingdom. It was early morning. Sun Shuyi and the Emperor were sitting on equal footing in the court. Suddenly, a guard hurriedly ran in. He knelt on one knee and reported in panic, “Report to the Emperor, Imperial Concubine Shu, Prince Jing and the General Protector of the Kingdom have entered the palace. They are currently waiting outside the main hall.”

This Sun Shuyi had already been conferred the title of Imperial Consort Shu a few months ago. Her position was only below that of the Empress, and now the Empress was not in the palace. Therefore, she was now the only one in the Great Wei Imperial Palace that held the title of Imperial Consort Shu.

After Emperor Wei heard this, he exchanged a glance with Imperial Concubine Shu. Seeing that she nodded slightly, he said, “Let them in.” It could be said that Fu Tianchen and Duanmu Jing had returned at the right time. He was currently thinking about how to make them return to the capital, so he could take advantage of this opportunity to take back the military power in their hands. He did not expect that they would automatically send them over.

Now that Prince Duan’s family had left the capital, not even the early dynasties had come. More than half of the people in the court were promoted by Imperial Concubine Shu. Naturally, they were all her own people. The remaining few were deeply rooted elders of the two dynasties. They were also in a wait-and-see state.

Now that the Emperor heard that Prince Jing and Fu Tianchen had returned to the capital, it could be said to be half pleasantly surprised and half worried. Fortunately, he could seize the opportunity to regain the military power in their hands. The worry was that these two people had returned to the capital for no reason at all. There must be something important about to happen.

And those two dynasties’ elders, After hearing that Fu Tianchen and Duanmu Jing had returned to the capital, their hearts couldn’t help but be overjoyed. They old ministers watched helplessly as a good Great Wei Kingdom was actually allowed to be controlled by a woman. They couldn’t help but feel unwilling. However, imperial power was paramount. Who told her that Sun Shuyi had indeed given birth to a prince for the Great Wei Kingdom? Now, she was even conferred the title of Imperial Consort?

Now that Prince Jing and the Guardian General had finally returned, it was as if they had seen hope. They looked straight out of the main hall.
