Escape after crossing

Chapter 167 Secret (3)

Jiang Ziluo did not reveal any information about the space to Leng Chenming. She still wanted to test whether Leng Chenming was truly trustworthy.

After all, in this complex world, it is particularly important to protect yourself and keep secrets.

However, Leng Chenming did not disappoint Jiang Ziluo. His eyes revealed not only worry, but also a deep concern.

"Have you felt any changes in the past three years? Especially in terms of your body, have you experienced any discomfort? Even your master didn't notice anything unusual?" Leng Chenming asked questions one after another, with a hint of urgency and nervousness in his tone.

Jiang Ziluo was a little confused by Leng Chenming's sudden series of questions, which was completely beyond her expectations. She originally thought that Leng Chenming would ask about the specific content of the secret, but the reality was not the case.

She couldn't help but frown and looked at Leng Chenming in confusion, trying to find the answer from his expression.

"No." Jiang Ziluo answered briefly, muttering to herself: Why is Leng Chenming suddenly concerned about my physical condition? This is completely different from the direction of the conversation she expected.

As if he had noticed Jiang Ziluo's confusion, Leng Chenming asked further: "No? Are you saying that there is nothing wrong with your body, or that Doctor Ju didn't find anything unusual?"

He didn't want Jiang Ziluo to just brush it off with two words; he needed a more precise answer.

Faced with Leng Chenming's persistence, Jiang Ziluo finally couldn't help it. She said bluntly: "None! Leng Chenming, is your focus a little off? Shouldn't we discuss that secret?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness in her voice. Leng Chenming was slightly startled. He realized that his behavior might have caused Jiang Ziluo's misunderstanding.

He took a deep breath and explained: "Zi Luo, I am also curious about the secret, but I am more concerned about your body. If there is something wrong with your body, then everything else is in vain."

After hearing Leng Chenming's sudden concern, Jiang Ziluo's heart was like ripples on the calm surface of a lake, and his joy was beyond words.

She knew that Leng Chenming really cared about her, and this care was like the warm sun in winter, which made people feel warm. This also ignited a spark of hope in Jiang Ziluo's heart. Could it be that this feeling was not just her wishful thinking?

However, even if the two of them like each other now, can this love stand the test of time? Thinking of this, Jiang Ziluo felt like he was falling into an ice cellar, and the joy disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"I'm fine. You can see that I'm standing in front of you now, and we've been through life and death together." Jiang Ziluo said in a relaxed tone.

Leng Chenming nodded in agreement after hearing this. Indeed, after experiencing many life-and-death tests, he witnessed Jiang Ziluo's outstanding performance. Apart from her slightly inferior lightness skills and a slightly ruthless attack, she had no other obvious shortcomings.

Leng Chenming raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled softly: "That's good, I'm just worried about you. After all, you are my cash cow, and I'm counting on you to help me make more money!"

However, deep in his heart, he was mumbling frantically: 'No, that's not the case. I am really worried about your safety, and you are also someone I care about. I am just afraid that if I confess rashly, I will scare you away...'

At this moment, Jiang Ziluo finally understood. It turned out that Leng Chenming was not concerned about her physical condition, but whether she could continue to bring him economic benefits. Her voice was slightly lowered, and she responded: "Well... Thank you for your concern."

Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward. The two of them fell into silence, staring at each other silently, and no one spoke again.

Leng Chenming finally couldn't help it, and he was the first to break the silence: "Regarding that secret, no matter what it is, or what truth and secrets it contains, I don't want to ask too much more.

When you are willing to speak, tell me everything. I believe you must have your own considerations and plans. But please remember one thing: no matter when and where you are, you can come to me for help. "

Hearing this, Jiang Ziluo slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes stared into Leng Chenming's deep eyes, and then she spoke softly.

"Okay, I understand, thank you!"

This thank you is a sincere expression from the bottom of her heart. Regardless of whether Leng Chenming's concern for her is genuine or has ulterior motives, she deserves this heartfelt thank you.

"Now, let's continue discussing the issue of food supply. In fact, I have secretly hidden the food and fodder needed by the Lingxi army. As for the explosion just now, it was actually just a cover to confuse the enemy and divert attention." Jiang Ziluo explained calmly.

"By the way, speaking of that explosion, what happened?" Leng Chenming blinked his curious eyes and turned into a curious baby again.

"That's dynamite, um... do you know fireworks?" Jiang Ziluo recalled that during the Chinese New Year, some businessmen would set off fireworks to celebrate the New Year. The colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky, which was very beautiful.

"Of course I know that the Imperial Palace sets off fireworks every year, and these are carefully made by secret craftsmen. Every year, they make more and sell them to wealthy merchants and the great families in Kyoto. In this way, they can earn some silver to replenish the national treasury. However, this skill is managed by the lord himself, and no one else knows it."

Leng Chenming told Jiang Ziluo everything he knew without reservation. He felt that these things were not a secret to Jiang Ziluo and there was nothing to hide.

After all, Jiang Ziluo had already told me such an important secret, so what reason did I have to hide it?

"Well, fireworks are like the predecessor of explosives, and the explosives I have also come from that secret place. The destructive power of this explosive is amazing. In fact, you can send someone to investigate.

What has the cave that hides the food and grass become, or what has the entire mountain become? By then, you will naturally understand how great the harm this explosive can bring. "

Leng Chenming was able to infer whether what Jiang Ziluo said was true just by the earth-shaking explosion. So, he resolutely chose to trust Jiang Ziluo.

"Wait, you just mentioned that fireworks are the prototype of explosives?" Leng Chenming seemed to suddenly recall something crucial. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if being kneaded by an invisible giant hand. He paced back and forth in the room anxiously, and each step seemed extremely heavy, as if each foot could step out a deep pit on the ground.

Jiang Ziluo's beautiful face was full of doubts at the moment. Her big watery eyes stared at Leng Chenming intently. She opened her cherry lips and asked slowly.

"What happened? Why do you look so strange?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature, intoxicating, but with a hint of confusion and concern.
