The moment the word gunpowder came out, Zhou Jingyan’s eyes immediately lit up and he completely forgot the pain on his body.

“Gunpowder is ready? How much is it?” Zhou Jingyan had witnessed the power of gunpowder in his dreams. As long as he used it well, he wouldn’t be worried that he wouldn’t be able to catch all the troops of West Vietnam in one fell swoop.

With gunpowder, they would definitely be able to turn their losses into victory in this battle!

The corner of Xiao Yuqi’s mouth slightly rose as she casually said, “It’s enough to destroy the 500,000 troops of West Vietnam!”

After her voice fell, Zhou Jingyan immediately burst out laughing crazily. As he laughed, he said sternly, “Rong Jin, you’ve calculated everything. So what if you win this great battle? I didn’t expect it to end up in my hands! I want you to have a good taste of what it feels like to make a wedding dress for her!”

Xiao Yuqi did not interrupt him. She only had a bright smile on her lips. No one knew what she was thinking.

An Hua seemed to be deliberately trying to lower her sense of existence. Ever since she entered this temporary palace, she didn’t say a word. If she didn’t speak, it would be very difficult for people to notice her existence.

After a long time, Zhou Jingyan finally laughed enough and said loudly, “Since all the explosives are ready, throw all the explosives into Country of Xiyue’s army! Queen, take out the explosives and show them to me!” As he said this, killing intent flashed across his eyes! As long as he had the gunpowder, he would no longer need to cooperate with Xiao Yuqi, much less look at the face that made him disgusted.

Xiao Yuqi smiled as if she hadn’t noticed the peculiarity in Zhou Jingyan’s eyes. She whispered, “I know His Majesty wants to see it. He has already placed it in the courtyard. However, this time, I have improved the explosives. Later, I will personally teach His Majesty how to use this gunpowder.”

Xiao Yuqi’s words were so deep that Zhou Jingyan laughed loudly, “Good good good! As long as I beat down the rivers and mountains of West Vietnam, the Empress will definitely be credited!”

Xiao Yuqi still smiled faintly and winked at An Hua. An Hua immediately went out, took out one of the explosives and placed it in front of Zhou Jingyan. Xiao Yuqi immediately stepped forward to explain how to use the explosives.

After Zhou Jingyan heard Xiao Yuqi’s words, the smile on his face gradually deepened. After Xiao Yuqi finished speaking, Zhou Jingyan’s smiling face instantly became gloomy. He harshly scolded, “Someone! Take down the Empress!” With the explosives and the method used, Zhou Jingyan no longer needed to make false promises with Xiao Yuqi!

When he remembered everything in his previous life and knew that Xiao Yuqi would kill him in order to escape, he always wanted to kill Xiao Yuqi to vent his hatred, but because of the gunpowder matter, he was unable to make a move.

After all, gunpowder was a very important chess piece for him to defeat Rong Jin!

As Zhou Jingyan’s voice fell, a few more black shadows immediately appeared in the palace. These shadows surrounded Xiao Yuqi!

However, the moment they took out their sharp weapons to deal with Xiao Yuqi, they felt weak and immediately fell to the ground.

This change happened so quickly that before Zhou Jingyan could react, he saw his hidden guard fall in front of Xiao Yuqi. His expression immediately changed and he looked at Xiao Yuqi vigilantly, “What did you do to our hidden guard?”

Xiao Yuqi smiled faintly, but her laughter made people’s hair stand on end. “I didn’t do anything. It was just that when you asked me to train the Dark Guards and soldiers for you, I planted a poison in their bodies. It just caused those poisons to explode.”

Her words were light and nimble, but Zhou Jingyan’s expression changed completely when he heard those words.

If it was according to Xiao Yuqi’s words, she had already poisoned her own hidden guard from the beginning, it was obvious that she had already intended to control her own hidden guard!

Moreover, her decision had been planned in the beginning!

He felt a terrifying expression surge in his heart, and his expression when he looked at Xiao Yuqi was even more peculiar, “You, you actually!” Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt as if his limbs and bones were being bitten by countless insects. This pain was a hundred times more severe than any other pain.

Zhou Jingyan looked at the smiling woman and his mind went blank. He finally understood!

What Xiao Yuqi wanted was not her own hidden guard, but herself!

When the two of them first formed an alliance, his dislike was obvious, and Xiao Yuqi was also not sincerely forming an alliance. She was merely borrowing her own power to create more connections and strength for herself!

From the beginning, she already had the intention of being uncourteous!

Zhou Jingyan tried his best to calm himself down, “You actually poisoned me?”

Xiao Yuqi still smiled faintly. The corner of her mouth rose slightly and she said softly, “No, I planted a Gu on you, not a poison.”

Gu is a hundred times more painful than poison!

Zhou Jingyan’s body couldn’t help but stiffen. His eyes were filled with anger. He didn’t know that he had raised such a man-eating wolf beside him and didn’t know it at all! “What would you like?”

Xiao Yuqi stretched out her hand and gently lifted a strand of broken hair on her forehead with her wrist. “You can give me what I want, but you won’t be willing to give it. So, I can only think of a way to take it myself.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jingyan’s eyes flashed with a harsh expression, but Kexin was a little panicked. He suddenly remembered that when he returned from the cliff, Xiao Yuqi had actually controlled half of Country of Xiyue’s government.

Xiao Yuqi once said that she stood up for her own political stability. In the past, she didn’t pay much attention to it. She only thought that Xiao Yuqi felt that she and he were now husband and wife. If anything happened to him, Xiao Yuqi’s position as empress would be unstable.

But now that he thought of Xiao Yuqi’s handy scene of controlling the government, the bad thoughts in his heart became more and more vigorous.

This woman was definitely not satisfied with the throne of the Empress! “What exactly do you want?”

‘”Yes, your throne” Xiao Yuqi’s beautiful face still had a gentle smile on it. No one would have thought that Xiao Yuqi could use such an expression to make such a disrespectful remark!

Zhou Jingyan’s face turned green and pale. Then he laughed coldly, “You want my throne? Xiao Yuqi, you think too highly of yourself! From ancient times until now, there has never been a special case of a queen in the history books of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Not only the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but also Country of Xiyue. There has never been a queen in this history book!” At this moment, he was really stimulated by Xiao Yuqi’s words.

No wonder he lost to Xiao Yuqi. It turned out that he had never guessed what she wanted from the beginning.

Not only in his previous life, but also in this life, he had never guessed that Xiao Yuqi wanted to be the Queen!

Empress? Xiao Yuqi? Zhou Jingyan couldn’t help but laugh even more crazily!

Xiao Yuqi was not infuriated by Zhou Jingyan’s current appearance. She only smiled faintly. Her smile was completely ignored. Obviously, Zhou Jingyan had already become her prisoner. A prisoner would not attract her attention at all! “There is no record in the history books. It may not never appear. Don’t you think it’s good to create a precedent for history?”

The smile on Zhou Jingyan’s face suddenly froze. At this moment, everything he saw from Xiao Yuqi’s face was serious. This proved that Xiao Yuqi was not joking with him! “Are you serious?”

“Naturally,” Xiao Yuqi said coldly, “do you think I would be so bored to joke with you?” Now, she would tell Zhou Jingyan her purpose. It was only because Zhou Jingyan’s use value had already disappeared. Those who lost value would only die.

However, she didn’t want Zhou Jingyan to die so smoothly.

What’s wrong? He used to drink and shout at himself, never putting himself in his eyes. She naturally wanted to return the favor.

The veins on Zhou Jingyan’s forehead bulged out. The pain of being bitten by the Gu Poison almost tortured Zhou Jingyan to death. He gritted his teeth tightly and secretly regretted not killing Xiao Yuqi earlier.

He had the memories of his previous life. When he knew that Xiao Yuqi had betrayed him, he should have executed Xiao Yuqi. However, because of his greed for gunpowder, he had placed himself in such danger!

There was no one to blame for all this, but he had only obtained the throne for a month now, and he did not want to die! “What are you going to do?” His pride did not allow him to beg Xiao Yuqi for mercy!

His heart ached even more. This feeling of being betrayed again was truly uncomfortable!

Xiao Yuqi still smiled happily and said softly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die before I get the Jiangshan of West Vietnam. I will let you see with your own eyes that the Jiangshan that you have been longing for has fallen into my hands! However …”

At this point, she changed the topic and paused for a moment. However, such a pause made Zhou Jingyan’s breathing unconsciously lighten. He wanted to know what Xiao Yuqi, a bitch, would do to him!

Xiao Yuqi seemed to be deliberately hanging on to Zhou Jingyan’s heart. After appreciating Zhou Jingyan’s nervousness, she said coldly, “However, before you die, it won’t be too good. I think, An Hua’s methods will definitely not be unfamiliar to you!”

An Hua? Zhou Jingyan was slightly stunned as he looked at the woman wrapped in black clothes. There was a trace of fear in his eyes.

Without waiting for Zhou Jingyan to speak, An Hua had already removed the black cloak covering her, revealing her face that was neither human nor ghost. The corner of her mouth let out an extremely excited voice before she softly said, “Zhou Jingyan, aren’t you tired of seeing me like this? Why don’t you come and become me like this as well?”

She admired the horror on Zhou Jingyan’s face when he heard her say this. She only smiled faintly. Her smile made her face look even more embarrassed because of her skin, like a ghost. “No, you don’t need to be like this. You just need to be more miserable than this!”
