Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

Xia Qin's face turned even redder after hearing what Xiaoyu said. What was going on?

"What a mess! Stop imagining. Hurry up and help your sister change her clothes. Let's go see how the siege equipment is going."

Hearing Xia Qin's words, Xiaoyu hurried to get her clothes.

But he was still mumbling, "Master's wife? It seems like I'm at a disadvantage. Calling me brother-in-law? It seems like I'm a little distant from Master."

Xia Qin's face turned black after hearing this, but she couldn't help wondering in her heart, is this a generation difference?

Bah bah bah!! What are you thinking?

Right now, the most important thing is to think about attacking the city.

After a while, Xia Qin had changed back into men's clothes and came out the door with Xiaoyu.

As soon as he saw Xia Qin in men's clothing, Mo Ye's eyes glued to her and said with interest: "Our Xia Xia is really heroic and handsome. I wonder how many girls will be fascinated by her!!"

Hearing what Mo Ye said, Xia Qin raised her eyebrows and looked at him teasingly: "Then I will wear this when I travel with you in the future."

"Forget it then," Mo Ye suddenly realized, "otherwise there will be rumors in the martial arts world that I have a sexual bent."

Speaking of Long Yang's habit, Xia Qin suddenly thought of the young general Dongfang Yi. Now that they are attacking Yunzhong City, it would be great if they could have Dongfang Yi's assistance.

But never mind. We still have to be on guard against Qin Ruoran getting in the way, which would be even more troublesome.

While joking, the two walked towards the open space in the southwest of the town, where craftsmen were working non-stop to make the catapults and ladders that Xia Qin requested.

"Mu Zhonglang is here!" Seeing Xia Qin from afar, Lu Cheng hurried to greet him respectfully.

Xia Qin looked at the three completed catapults and two ladders and was somewhat amazed.

Although she provided the drawings, she had only seen rough images in ancient books.

Seeing the real thing today, she was also impressed by the wisdom of the ancients, especially the six-meter-high ladder standing in front of her, which made her feel dazed.

Mo Ye looked at the wooden device in front of him with curiosity and asked in a low voice: "Xia Xia, what is this?"

"These are siege equipment," Xia Qin replied bluntly, "trebuchets and ladders."

Upon hearing the name, Mo Ye, who was as smart as he was, immediately understood the functions of these two devices, but he didn't know where these rare items came from.

At this time, Lu Cheng said, "Mu Zhonglang, in addition to speeding up the manufacture of the equipment according to your requirements, I also asked the stonemasons to chisel more than ten boulders of appropriate size and weight. Now we can try the effect."

Xia Qin nodded and said, "Let's transport the catapult and the boulder to three hundred steps west of the town. We'll go to the warehouse first."

With a creaking sound, two catapults and several huge rocks slowly drove out of Yellowstone Town under the curious gaze of the soldiers in the town.

Mo Ye was thoughtful after hearing what Lu Cheng said just now, and couldn't help asking: "Xia Xia, did you come up with these things?"

Xia Qin didn't know how to answer, so she looked at Mo Ye and asked, "If I say I saw these things in some books, would you believe me?"

Mo Ye was even more puzzled after hearing this: "Why do I not believe it?"

"Because I don't have time to read," Xia Qin winked mischievously, "If I said I got it from a book, it could only be during the month I was in the bamboo house."

Mo Ye understood what she meant instantly and shook his head helplessly: "Xia Xia, I don't have these books."

"You're so stupid! I'll teach you. After I teach you, I can just say that those books were lost." It seemed that Xia Qin had already thought of a solution.

"Then," Mo Ye asked unnaturally, "where did you know these things?"

Xia Qin avoided his gaze, lowered her head and said guiltily: "I know it from some memories that can never be returned."

"I believe you," Mo Ye gently rubbed Xia Qin's hair again, "So what do we do next?"

Xia Qin slapped his head and said, "Oh, and there's black powder!"

"Huh?" Mo Ye had no idea what Xia Qin was talking about.

Xia Qin took him to the warehouse, which was where Xia Qin asked Mu Jinyu to prepare early on. Huo Jinying and the Night Owl Squad lived.

"The eldest lady is here!" When Huo Jinying saw Xia Qin and Mo Ye coming, she quickly opened the door of the warehouse.

"Xia Xia, what's in here?" Mo Ye couldn't help but feel curious when he saw that the warehouse was heavily guarded.

Xia Qin smiled mysteriously: "Some toys."

In addition to sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, there was a pile of other materials, and there were some bamboo tubes and wooden barrels in the corners.

He rubbed his eyebrows, not understanding Xia Qin's purpose.

"Are you going to be a craftsman? A master craftsman?"

"What's wrong with being a craftsman?" Xia Qin said mischievously, "But these things are not handicrafts, they are very interesting things."

"interesting?"

Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye and pointed at the beam scale on the ground: "Do you know how to use this?"

"A steelyard?" Mo Ye smiled. "Of course I know how to use it. I bought the herbs for the pharmacy myself before."

"That's good," Xia Qin smiled mysteriously, "I'll leave this important task to you. Weigh out 600 kilograms of saltpeter, 120 kilograms of charcoal, and 80 kilograms of sulfur, and then mix them together."

"Ah? What about the other things?" Mo Ye pointed at some other materials.

Xia Qin chuckled: "Those are used to confuse others. This 'formula' must be kept secret."

Although he didn't understand what she said, Mo Ye still willingly became Xia Qin's "coolie".

But it was an easy task for him. In less than an hour, a total of 800 kilograms of saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur were evenly mixed together.

Jianghu masters are fast at this kind of work! Mo Ye didn't even break out in a sweat, but his face and body were a little dirty from the charcoal.

Xia Qin took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped the black charcoal off his face.

Mo Ye stood there motionless, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

Afterwards, Xia Qin personally filled several bamboo tubes with the mixture and used the thin oil ropes prepared in advance as fuses.

"Let's go!" Xia Qin picked up a bamboo tube and called Mo Ye to leave the warehouse.

She needed to do a simple experiment.

Xia Qin didn't stop until they reached the woods where the Night Owl Squad usually trained. Only Mo Ye, Huo Jinying and Xiaoyu were left by her side.

"Brother Huo, fire starter." Xia Qin said, handing the bamboo tube to Mo Ye, "Mo Ye, wait until I light the fuse, and you throw it out immediately, about thirty meters away."

Huo Jinying handed it to Xia Qin, and then Jingjing and Xiaoyu stood quietly aside.

Mo Ye took the bamboo tube and weighed it, only to find that it was covered with a dense layer of iron nails glued on with resin. He didn't know what these iron nails were used for.

Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye and carefully used a fire starter to light the thin oil rope on the bamboo tube.

Seeing the fuse was lit, Mo Ye threw it out without any hesitation as Xia Qin requested.

Xiaoyu and Huo Jinying looked at them with confusion, and then stared at the bamboo tube thrown out by Mo Ye.

"Brother Huo, hurry!" Xia Qin dragged Mo Ye and Xiao Yu behind the big tree nearby, "Hide behind the tree and cover your ears!"

Huo Jinying didn't understand why, but he was very alert to have survived the battlefield, so he immediately found a big tree to hide under.

Xiaoyu didn't understand what was going on: "Sister, what are you doing..."

Seeing Xia Qin covering her ears tightly and stopping talking, Mo Ye and the others suddenly had an ominous premonition and quickly covered their ears as well.

"BMOB!!!!"

"Deng deng deng deng!"
