Escape after crossing

Chapter 168 Secret (4)

Leng Chenming's expression was extremely serious. His voice was low and full of worry. "What exactly is the wound from the explosion like? Is it like being torn apart by some powerful force? Is the wound like it has been burned by a fierce fire, leaving obvious marks? Even worse, the whole hand or leg will disappear out of thin air?"

Hearing these descriptions, Jiang Ziluo couldn't help but widen her eyes, with a look of astonishment on her face. She asked in a trembling voice: "Why do you know so clearly? Have you witnessed such a scene with your own eyes? When and where exactly?"

At this moment, an astonishing thought flashed through Jiang Ziluo's mind like lightning. She thought to herself, could it be that besides herself, there was someone from another world who successfully traveled to this world? And that person actually brought powerful explosives? A series of questions came to her mind, making her feel more confused and uneasy.

Leng Chenming told Jiang Ziluo about his past. The reason why Leng Chenming could describe such a wound in such detail was because he had witnessed this scene when he was a child.

When Leng Chenming was a child in Kyoto, his father, the King of Zhenxi, was at the border, guarding the border for the country, fighting bravely, defending the country and protecting it from foreign invasion. Naturally, the king would love Leng Chenming more.

Sometimes when Leng Chenming made a small mistake or caused some trouble, the king would turn a blind eye and not care about these small things, and would even take the initiative to cover them up.

After all, the western border was not peaceful at that time, and foreign enemies often invaded. The King of Zhenxi was an important line of defense against foreign invasions.

Only if the King of Zhenxi sticks to his post at the border and fights bravely can he repel the enemy and protect the security and stability of the country. Therefore, Leng Chenming's life in the palace can be described as a fish in water. He can go wherever he wants, and no one will restrict his freedom.

However, during a tour of the palace, Leng Chenming unknowingly came to an extremely remote palace. The palace looked dilapidated and had obviously been abandoned for a long time.

Leng Chenming and the people who followed him felt that this place was secluded and quiet, so they decided to play here for a while.

But who would have thought that not long after, a loud noise came from somewhere, scaring the children.

The servants who were able to follow Leng Chenming were naturally carefully selected. They reacted quickly and immediately pulled Leng Chenming to a safe place and hid him.

They were planning to take Leng Chenming away quickly, but at this moment they heard footsteps approaching, as if someone was coming this way. In desperation, they had to look for a place to hide.

Leng Chenming and others hid in the dark, observing the movements outside. They saw a group of guards rushing over, led by a general in armor. The general had a serious expression on his face, directing the guards to enter the palace.

"What happened here?" Leng Chenming couldn't help but ask softly.

"Shh!" The servant next to him quickly signaled him to be quiet.

After a while, a group of guards were seen supporting a few people and slowly walking out of the palace. The faces of these guards all looked extremely solemn, as if they were carrying a heavy burden.

The mouths of those who were supported were tightly covered, unable to make any sound. Leng Chenming was still young at the time, and was very curious and confused about what was happening before his eyes.

However, when he saw the man's arm, he could not help but feel a strong fear. He clearly saw the hideous wound, bloody and horrifying. This scene frightened Leng Chenming greatly, and his body trembled involuntarily.

After everyone left, the servants following Leng Chenming were also frightened. Although they were filled with fear, they quickly came to their senses and hurriedly took Leng Chenming away from this ominous place.

Before leaving, Leng Chenming strictly ordered his servants not to leak the matter, otherwise they would face the punishment of death.

Afterwards, Leng Chenming went to the Imperial Hospital to try to find out about the injured. However, it seemed that the Imperial Hospital had never received such patients.

As time went by, this matter was gradually forgotten, and Leng Chenming did not mention it too much. It was not until Jiang Ziluo mentioned it just now that the dusty memory came back to his mind.

Jiang Ziluo understood what was going on and said softly, "Those people might be making fireworks, but they can't control the amount of medicine accurately; or they might be trying to make something more powerful through experiments, such as explosives, firecrackers, etc."

"Well, now that I think about it, this possibility does exist. It's a pity that we have never heard any relevant news."

Leng Chenming thought about it carefully and it seemed that he had not obtained such information in Kyoto. At most, it was just trivial matters such as the number of fireworks each year and which noble families purchased them.

Jiang Ziluo saw that she had finished talking about the explosives. Leng Chenming was only shocked by the power of the explosives, but forgot to ask her for the details of how she made the explosives explode only after they left the other side.

However, Jiang Ziluo did not mention this issue again, but continued: "The food issue has been resolved now, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. However, I have one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Leng Chenming was very interested in what Jiang Ziluo was going to say next. After all, he thought Jiang Ziluo was not only extremely intelligent and thoughtful, but also extremely beautiful. So, he politely responded, "Mr. Jiang, go ahead and say it."

Jiang Ziluo smiled slightly and continued, "Regarding the food supply problem in your army, the measures you have taken in the past are certainly feasible, but I have some more sophisticated ideas. However, how to implement them specifically still requires you to think about and improve them yourself."

Leng Chenming listened very attentively and asked, "I would like to hear more about it." He knew that Jiang Ziluo must have unique insights that might be able to give him new ideas and inspiration.

“Every year, you go to various towns to buy and transport food, but this year, maybe you can try to do one more thing: find some poor families, and then buy some piglets, chicks, ducklings, goslings and other young animals, and give them to these poor families to raise.

When winter comes or the weather turns cold, these grown livestock and poultry are collected. The value of the harvested pork can be calculated based on 70% of the market price of meat at that time, and then the cost of purchasing the piglets is deducted. The remaining part is the reward these poor families get by raising a pig.

This will not only help poor families increase their income and improve their living conditions, but also ensure that they have enough meat supply in winter or when the weather is cold.

As long as they are a little more diligent, they can do even something like raising pigs well and will definitely make money. The same goes for raising chickens, ducks and geese.

But if you have a better way to help others, then you can do it yourself. I just want to give you an idea.

But you can only take things from those families you approve of, not from other families, otherwise everything will be messed up. In this way, you can help some poor people and also reserve some supplies for your army."

"But that much meat can only be eaten in the winter. It can't be stored until now."

Leng Chenming thought Jiang Ziluo’s idea was good, but what he proposed also had to be solved.
