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

The huge sound was as powerful as thunder. At the moment of the explosion, a sharp and piercing whistling sound was heard in the air.

Because Huo Jinying and Xiaoyu reacted a little slowly, the powerful force made their ears buzz and they even had brief tinnitus.

In contrast, Mo Ye's reaction speed was extremely fast and he quickly covered his ears.

However, when the loud noise came, his body instinctively made a protective action - he hugged Xia Qin tightly in his arms and protected her with his body.

As the explosion sounded, the entire forest shook violently, and a thick smoke rolled up from where the bamboo tube fell to the ground, mixed with fragments of soil, leaves and wood chips.

Several large trees around were also riddled with holes from the iron nails on the bamboo tubes, and they fell down with a creaking sound.

"Bang! Bang!"

Further away, some small branches were broken and scattered on the ground.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur and burnt wood, making people feel difficult to breathe and extremely depressed.

At this moment, the woods were filled with a strange and indescribable atmosphere of tranquility.

Mo Ye gently let go of Xia Qin in his arms, then slowly turned his head and stared at the place where the explosion occurred with a serious look.

What appeared before their eyes was a huge earth pit. The inside of the pit was charred black, as if it had been burned by a raging fire, and there was still a trace of heat rising.

Such destructive power is really too amazing. Even the top masters in the world may not be able to achieve such a level.

"Sister..." Xiaoyu was frightened and dazed. She asked in a trembling voice, "Did you learn any magic? Could it be... the magic of heavenly thunder?"

Mo Ye looked at Xia Qin quietly and whispered, "Xia Xia, what is going on... How many more surprises like this will you bring?"

Before Xia Qin could answer, the Da Xia soldiers who were responsible for patrolling the town had already heard the noise and rushed over.

When they saw the scene before them, they couldn't help but gasp.

"I didn't expect it to be a thunderbolt..." The leading soldier was surprised. He looked at Mo Ye and Xia Qin and asked with concern, "Mu Zhonglang, Mr. Mo, are you okay? What happened here?"

Mo Ye patted the dust off his body, shook his head and said: "It's okay, we were just taking a walk here, and we didn't expect that there would be a sudden thunderbolt."

His eyes fell on the destroyed area, and he was secretly surprised at the power of the bamboo thunder.

Xia Qin walked towards the explosion site and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

According to her previous estimation, the power of this bamboo tube was roughly equivalent to five modern grenades. Now judging from the effect of the explosion, it should be similar to what she expected.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, but she immediately regained her composure.

She turned around and said to the leading soldier, "Brother Huo, you take the Night Owl Squad to familiarize yourself with the trebuchets and ladders. I will be there soon. Prepare well in the next two days and bring all the siege equipment to the front line to support my father and brother the day after tomorrow!"

The war is about to begin and time is running out.

Xia Qin was not idle.

She knew very well that in order to win on the battlefield, she had to give full play to the role of every weapon.

So, she fixed the bamboo tube on the strong bow and arrow, and asked the members of the Night Owl Squad who were good at horse archery to practice continuously.

This allows them to attack the enemy from a long distance, increasing their lethality.

At the same time, Xia Qin also personally instructed them how to use the catapult.

This kind of large siege equipment requires certain skills and coordination to exert its maximum power. For Xia Qin, the catapult is very important.

After repeated drills, the members of the Night Owl Team gradually mastered the essentials and were able to accurately throw the boulders at the target at a distance of 300 meters with a deviation of no more than five meters.

Everything made Xia Qin very satisfied. Now she was full of ambition and confidence in ending the war in the north.

"Xia Xia," Mo Ye stared at Xia Qin as they strolled outside the city at night, "was the bamboo tube in the woods yesterday because of the sulfur inside?"

Xia Qin blinked her eyes, and naturally did not hide anything from Mo Ye: "Saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, mixed together in the same proportion as yesterday, is called black powder. Seal it in a sealed container and ignite it with an open flame, and you will get the same effect as yesterday."

Mo Ye's face was solemn: "This is the same as the catapult and the ladder. Is it also the result of your imagination?"

"Yeah." Xia Qin answered softly, feeling somewhat guilty.

Mo Ye reached out his hand and gently stroked her hair, as if time had stopped at this moment.

He did not raise any questions, but instead revealed a deep concern: "This power is very strong, but it is too dangerous. Let me or Huo Jinying control it in the future."

Xia Qin stared at Mo Ye and saw only endless concern in his eyes. She felt relieved and warm in her heart.

Originally she was worried that she would have to go to great lengths to explain to him the origins of these "inventions", but now it seems that this is not necessary.

At this moment, Mo Ye suddenly asked a question without any reason: "Xia Xia, do you still want to be a general on the battlefield like your father?"

"No!" Xia Qin answered decisively without any hesitation. She continued, "After helping my father stabilize the northern border, I want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the capital and find a quiet corner."

Hearing Xia Qin's firm answer, Mo Ye's eyes trembled slightly.

He stared at Xia Qin intently and said solemnly: "Then let's go back to the bamboo forest together, to live a simple and relaxed life."

When Xia Qin heard this, her cheeks flushed again, and she looked as shy and cute as a ripe apple.

"Why should I go back to the bamboo forest with you?" But she sighed and said, "But is it really possible to be so easy?"

Mo Ye's eyes were extremely firm, and he gently held Xia Qin's hand: "No problem, as long as we are willing, we can find a paradise even in this chaotic world, believe me!"

"Yeah!" Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye with peace of mind, nodded vigorously, and responded to Mo Ye with her little hand.

At this moment, their eyes were full of tacit understanding and trust. Mo Ye moved closer to Xia Qin, and the ambiguous atmosphere made Xia Qin's heart beat faster.

At this moment, it seemed as if time had stopped flowing, the two people's eyes met, and there was endless tacit understanding and trust between them.

Mo Ye leaned his body slightly and slowly approached Xia Qin. Every subtle movement exuded an indescribable ambiguous atmosphere.

Xia Qin's heartbeat involuntarily quickened, like a frightened deer, pounding violently against her chest.

She felt a shy blush gradually appearing on her cheeks, and her throat became extremely dry, and even her breathing became a little rapid.

Last time, when I was hit by some kind of "lust-inducing drug", I felt the same way...

As Mo Ye got closer, Xia Qin could even feel his warm breath brushing against her skin, bringing a slight shudder, and her eyes widened unconsciously.

However, at this moment, there were rustling sounds all around.

"Who?!" Mo Ye quickly pulled out the black jade sword from his waist. The sword flashed with cold light and exuded a terrifying aura.

However, what responded to him were several green hidden weapons shot at him at high speed. These hidden weapons were extremely fast and carried a fierce force, aiming directly at Xia Qin's vital points.

Mo Ye's figure flashed, and the jade sword in his hand swung out like lightning, accurately blocking the green hidden weapons one by one.

There were only a few crisp collision sounds, and hidden weapons fell to the ground one after another.

Mo Ye frowned.

Jianghu assassin?

The one who assassinated Xia Qin?

Xia Qin looked at the danger in the forest, with the dagger in hand.

Before they could think too much, a cold light flashed, and six masked men in black with excellent skills appeared in front of them.

Xia Qin's heart shuddered. Was he coming for her again?
