In the past, if one wanted to dig such a large pit using manpower, it would require dozens of people working at the same time and would take two or three hours to complete.

Now that we have explosives, it would only take a moment for the matter to happen. How could he not be surprised?

At the same time, he also understood the Third Prince. Why was he able to win the war last year with a smaller force despite such a huge gap in troop strength? It was all thanks to the explosives.

He believed that if there were no explosives, Beiling City would have been conquered by Beimo long ago, and Beimo's cavalry would have entered the Central Plains, and the fight for the throne would have been nothing.

They must do their utmost to resist foreign enemies. After all, once the territory of the Great Zhou is occupied by the Northern Desert, the monarch will have to be replaced, so there is no need to fight for the position of crown prince.

But now it’s different. The third prince was the first to possess explosives and defeated the Northern Desert Army.

Before the arrival of winter this year, the people of the Northern Desert will definitely not attack.

The reason for this is that the people of the Northern Desert are a nomadic people.

The weather is warming up, the earth is reviving, and the thing that is most in short supply on the grassland is grass. The livestock raised by the people of the Northern Desert have no shortage of fodder to eat, and they will not risk attacking.

Even though the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered from constant natural disasters last year, the grain harvest in the fields decreased, and some places even had a total harvest, the national treasury was much emptier and the national strength was weakened.

If Beimo insisted on sending troops, Da Zhou would not be afraid at all, not to mention that he and the third prince now had explosives.

Although he had not seen the power of the Third Prince's explosives, he estimated that they would not be more powerful than his.

Realizing this fact, Jiang Kuizhi became very proud.

You know, with explosives, the army he leads will be invincible.

Even if the Third Prince had explosives in his hands, he would not be afraid. After all, no matter what, the Third Prince had limited troops, which were far less than his side.

"Someone is coming."

"General."

"Deal with the two men in the cave."

The personal guards took the order and left. Jiang Kui had his men fill up the big hole that was blown up here, and then returned to the main camp.

The first thing he did when he arrived at the camp was to ask his men to purchase large quantities of saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur.

Shen Yu and Qian Li, who were still in the cave, had no idea that the footsteps of the God of Death were quietly approaching them.

Shen Yu was still wondering if the general could really make explosives, while Qian Li was thinking about how to spread the news.

Just as the two were thinking about their own things, suddenly a dark shadow floated down in the cave. In the blink of an eye, Shen Yu and Qian Li fell down with their eyes wide open, as if they didn't understand why the general just killed them like that.

However, they all knew that the general would do this because the explosives must have been successfully set off and he wanted to kill people to silence them.

Soon, the bodies of Shen Yu and Qian Li were thrown deep into the mountains. Large wild beasts would roam here at night. The fate of the two of them was self-evident. They became a pair of wild mandarin ducks until their death.

The courtyard where Li Mengyue temporarily lives in Beijing.

Li Mengyue was teasing four babies and having fun when suddenly Tuanzi's voice rang out.

[Host, I discovered a very interesting phenomenon. ]

Li Mengyue held Sibao in her arms and smelled the milky fragrance coming from Sibao's body. Her cold and hard heart was almost melted.

I didn't care about what Tuanzi said, and asked casually: [What phenomenon? ]

[Host, I found that someone in the capital is buying charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur in large quantities.]

Hearing this, Li Mengyue paused. She did not doubt Tuanzi's words, but asked: [Are these three items purchased separately? ]

[Yes, host, you guessed it right. ]

Li Mengyue put Sibao on the crib and couldn't help saying, "Someone has developed explosives."

[Host, it seems that this is correct. ]

After getting this answer, Li Mengyue frowned. This was not a good sign.

She knew well that the Great Zhou was a relatively backward dynasty in history and gunpowder had not yet been invented.

The demolition bombs she took out in Beiling City brought hot weapons to this dynasty in advance.

She didn't think so much at the time. She just wanted to defend Beiling City and never let Beimo break through.

She knew very well that once the Beimo cavalry army broke through Beiling City, they would march straight to the capital, and more people would die in the war.

She was not worried that Beimo would be able to occupy all of the territory of the Great Zhou, but it was a pity for the people whose lives would be ruined by the war.

What's more, the entire northern part of the Great Zhou was covered by severe cold at that time and entered an extremely cold mini ice age.

The extremely cold weather has already claimed the lives of countless people.

If more Northern Desert Cavalry joined in, it would bring catastrophic disaster to countless civilians. This was not what she wanted to see, and it was contrary to the mission she had to accomplish.

There happened to be a demolition bomb in the space, and she took it out without any hesitation, helping the Beiling City garrison to win the war and preventing innocent people from being dragged into the war for no reason.

She knew that the moment she took out the demolition bomb, it would definitely attract the attention of someone, who might even make a big fuss about it.

But what she never expected was that someone actually used this as inspiration to develop explosives, which made her admire the wisdom of the ancients.

[Tuanzi, can you find out who invented explosives? ]

[Host, if I tell you the name, you will be surprised. ]

【Who is it? 】

【Shen Yu.】

[Who, say it again? ]

[Host, Shen Yu, impersonated you and entered Prince An's Mansion.]

When Li Mengyue heard this name from Tuanzi, she raised her eyebrows. She was really surprised.

She had just arrived in the capital and had heard about Shen Yu from the people of the capital without asking Tuanzi to investigate.

Many people admired Shen Yu's courage. Even though he knew that his identity was fake, he still dared to pretend to be Xie Wan'er's daughter and enter Prince An's Mansion.

As it turned out, Shen Yu's bet was right. Not only did Prince An's Mansion acknowledge Shen Yu's identity, they also took her back to the mansion and let her live the life of a rich lady.

But no one knows what happened later, but Shen Yu was driven out of Prince An’s Mansion again.

Originally, many people thought that Shen Yu’s good luck had run out and that he would end up living on the streets.

But what was really unexpected was that Shen Yu's luck was still as good as ever. Without the protection of Prince An's Mansion, he caught the eye of the eldest prince and was brought back to his palace.

However, ever since Shen Yu entered the eldest prince’s palace, the outside world has never heard of Shen Yu again.

Many people speculated that Shen Yu had become a woman in the backyard of the eldest prince's mansion. As the prince's woman, she would enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future.

Many unmarried girls in the capital city envied Shen Yu's courage and good luck.

However, they also know that such a blessing is not something that ordinary girls like them can enjoy.

But who could have imagined that Shen Yu, the envy of countless women in the capital, did not live a life of luxury as everyone imagined.

But Shen Yu left the day after he entered the Crown Prince's House, and no one knows where he went to this day.
