Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 108

Chapter 108 Explosives in the Modern World
Fu Yingran looked at the bags and felt very pleased. These people were really cautious. Even if they were seen, they wouldn’t be able to see what was inside. Fu Yingran saw that he had already arranged everything, so he didn’t say anything else.

Thus, she wiped her mouth and stood up. She walked to the desk and wrote down the explosive formula that she had seen in the book and handed it to Huyan Mingshuo. She said, “Nah, just do as it says. Remember, you must strictly follow my formula. No more, no less.”

Huyan Mingshuo took it. He lowered his head and took a look. After that, he asked someone to find a pole to weigh, He walked straight into the pile of bags, As she got busy, Fu Yingran stood at the side and stared at him. This was a dangerous job. She could not joke around. One thing that might happen was that people’s lives were at stake. She had to keep an eye on him at all times. She must not make any mistakes. Fortunately, Huyan Mingshuo was very careful and did not make any mistakes in the process.

About two hours later, it was already late at night outside. Huyan Mingshuo only held a dozen black packages in his hand and came to Fu Yingran and asked, “Now that I have finished according to your formula, what should I do next?” He looked at these black things and couldn’t see what they were capable of.

Fu Yingran looked at his suspicious gaze and didn’t say anything to him. There were some things that she couldn’t compare to seeing with her own eyes. So, she only said indifferently, “En, bring the torch and these things with you and take me to a quiet place. I will let you know what to do.”

“Alright, you can come with me.” As he spoke, he brought Fu Yingran out of the tent and arrived at a deserted place.

Fu Yingran looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he said, “Take out everything.” After Huyan Mingshuo heard this, he directly handed Huozhe and the black thing to Fu Yingran. He wanted to see what kind of movement she could make.

Huyan Mingshuo stared at Fu Yingran like this, wanting to see how she turned these inconspicuous things into shocking weapons. After she opened the flame fold, she directly lit it. Then, sparks flashed out from the thing, followed by a loud “bang” sound. The entire night sky was illuminated, and then dust flew up.

Huyan Mingshuo looked at it and said, His eyes widened in shock. Unbelievably, he walked to the place where the item was placed. He saw a huge pit one meter wide. He then looked at Fu Yingran and asked, “What is this thing? Its power is actually so great. If we had this thing, what miasma barrier would our soldiers in Ye Lan use? From now on, our army in Ye Lan will definitely be invincible.”

Fu Yingran hurriedly said, “Ming Shuo, let’s call this thing explosive first. This is a very powerful weapon. Because it is too powerful, the damage it does to soldiers is also ruthless. So, we absolutely cannot use it unless we have no other choice, okay?” “Because this thing is too destructive and cruel, I don’t want its formula to spread out. That’s why I asked you to personally do it.”

“Alright, I understand. I promise you that I will never use this thing unless I have to.” Huyan Mingshuo wasn’t a tyrant, so he naturally understood Fu Yingran’s worries. She was right. If such weapons were used in large quantities, the entire continent would be filled with smoke. At that time, the entire world would be in chaos. That would also go against his original wish.

What he wanted was only the unification of the world. If after the unification of the world, only Yelan’s subjects were left, and there were many holes in the world, then what was the difference between now and then?

“Well, let’s hurry up and leave this place. Someone should be coming to check out the big commotion just now. If someone finds out that we caused it, they won’t be able to hide it anymore.” Fu Yingran was not sure if she was right or wrong. Once this explosive appeared on this continent, it meant that many people would die because of it. Although Fu Yingran was not a kind person, she was not killing innocent people indiscriminately. Therefore, her mood was rather conflicted.

Huyan Mingshuo looked at her heavy expression and immediately knew what she was thinking, so he persuaded, “Ying Ran, I know what you’re worried about. I also know that once such a weapon is used on the battlefield, many people will die because of it.”

But Ying Ran, There will be casualties in war, Even if we don’t use explosives, many people will die on the battlefield, and that will also prolong the war. At that time, not only will there be casualties, there will also be the consumption of supplies. After a war, three to five years is normal. Even if we win in Ye Lan, it will still be a waste. That is not our initial wish.

“So you don’t have to worry. There are many things that we can’t control. All we can control is to end this war as soon as possible. Only in this way can we truly return a peaceful and prosperous era to the people.”

“Yes, I see. You can do as you please. As long as you minimize the casualties, you can end this war as soon as possible.” She knew all of this, but she couldn’t change it for the time being. After all, she was the one who started this war, and the method of making explosives had also come from her hands.

“Alright, I will end this war as soon as possible, so that the world can be at peace as soon as possible, so that we can return to the imperial capital to see our son as soon as possible.” Huyan Mingshuo also grew up eating five grains and miscellaneous grains, Ever since his son was born, he and Fu Yingran had left. Whenever the night was quiet, he would think of that little guy who was wrinkled. He didn’t know how he was doing in the palace, so Mother would definitely hold him in his hands. After all, he was her own grandson.

Hearing Huyan Mingshuo mention his son, Fu Yingran felt bitter in his heart. That’s her own flesh, Forced to leave their parents at birth, She was ashamed of her son, Now, Huyan Mingshuo said, Her eyes couldn’t help but turn red, so she leaned her head against Huyan Mingshuo’s arms and hugged his waist and said, “Well, I miss my son. Let’s end this as soon as possible, so that we can return to accompany him as soon as possible. As parents, we are not qualified. From the moment he was born, we left. Whenever it was quiet in the middle of the night, I would always remember the way Mother carried him away.”

Seeing her so helpless, Huyan Mingshuo could only hug her tightly and said, “That’s right. We are ashamed of Haoze. Ever since he was born, we have not done our duty as parents for a day. What we can do for him is to create a peaceful and prosperous world for him. We can only keep him away from those plots for the rest of his life. None of the things that we have experienced should happen to him.”

“Okay, fine, I’ll listen to you.” After Fu Yingran answered, he stopped talking. Huyan Mingshuo didn’t say anything more, just hugged her and quietly walked back.

On the second day, Just as the genius lit up, There were several loud noises, The Southern Border Camp was shining with flames, All the soldiers in the Southern Region were still asleep when they were awakened by the loud explosions one after another. All of them ran out of the tent in panic. The entire Southern Region camp was immediately in chaos, with countless deaths and injuries. The miasma barrier they had been relying on had also disappeared without a trace along with the loud explosions.

Prince Nanjiang personally led the troops to Nanjiang, Mu Lingfeng’s father-in-law, Elder Wu, also joined the army. The miasma barrier was created by a few of their elders, At this moment, he was sleeping soundly in bed. Suddenly, a series of sounds woke him up from his bed. He pulled a piece of clothes on his body and hurriedly left the tent. When he saw that the entire camp was in chaos, there were still sounds everywhere, and there were people dying and wounding, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

So he casually pulled a soldier and asked, “What exactly is going on? Where did the noise come from? Is the miasma barrier still there? Is the king alright?” Everyone on this continent knew that Ye Lan’s soldiers were the most courageous. No matter which country’s army encountered them, they would most likely lose the war.

Therefore, he knew very well that once the miasma barrier was lost, the soldiers of Ye Lan would no longer be hindered. They would be able to charge on the lands of the Southern Border. If these soldiers of the Southern Border fought with real weapons, they would definitely not be a match for the Ye Lan army. Therefore, he was very anxious right now.

The soldier heard Elder Wu’s question. He honestly replied, “Report to Elder Wu, I don’t know what happened to the little one, Everyone was still asleep, but suddenly there were a few loud noises in the camp. Many people were killed and many craters were blown up on the ground. Because two elders were killed, the miasma screen had disappeared. The army of Ye Lan is attacking our camp. I’m going to report this to the king now. ”

As soon as Elder Wu heard that two elders had been killed and the miasma barrier had disappeared, his heart was in turmoil. He immediately said, “Let’s go. I’ll go with you to see the king. We should discuss what we should do next.” As he spoke, he and the soldier walked towards the handsome tent where Prince Nanjiang was.

At this moment, Prince Nanjiang also heard a noise. He casually pulled on a piece of clothing and walked out of the tent. Just two steps away, he saw Elder Wu and a soldier rushing towards him. As soon as the two of them entered, Prince Nanjiang asked, “What’s going on?” Didn’t you say that with the miasma barrier, the army of Ye Lan would never be able to step foot on the southern border? “Now tell me, what’s going on?”

Hearing this, Elder Wu said, He quickly bowed and said, “Report back to the king, The miasma barrier requires several elders to cast spells at the same time, to form, I don’t know what the army of Ye Lan is using right now, “It actually blew up our Southern Border Camp. Countless soldiers were killed and wounded. Two of the elders were also killed, so the miasma barrier could not be formed. At this moment, Ye Lan’s army is attacking our Southern Border Camp. Please hurry up and give the order. After repelling Ye Lan’s army, you can punish this lowly official.”

After hearing this, Prince Nanjiang glanced at Elder Wu and said, “Repeating the Ye Lan army? It’s not easy. With just our small number of troops in the southern border, it’s not enough to plug their teeth.” Then he said to the soldiers on the side, “Hurry up and give orders. The army of the Southern Region will immediately retreat and defend the capital. We will wait for the Crown Prince to return before making any plans.”

This was also the last hope of the Southern Jiang King, I only hope that Mu Lingfeng can bring good news from Great Wei. As long as they could get supplies from the Great Wei Kingdom, As long as they defend the capital, They could also drag the Yelan army to death, It was because everyone knew that although the soldiers of Yelan Country were brave and fierce, they were barren and lacking in resources. It was impossible for them to endure a war that would take a long time. As long as they could stall the Yelan army, they would naturally withdraw when they could not supply them with grain. At that time, the southern border would be fine.
