With a deafening loud bang, dust and smoke suddenly flew up, and the birds on the surrounding trees all flapped their wings and flew high. It was estimated that all the animals within two miles ran away.

The few people hiding aside also felt that the Daqing Mountain beneath their feet seemed to tremble, and their ears were buzzing.

"Uncle? Uncle? Are you okay?" Song Luoyi stretched out his hand and waved away the gray air in front of him, and shouted loudly towards the place where Song Guan had just caught fire.

Don’t look back, my uncle must have been really shocked again. He is already stupid enough, if he gets even more stupid, he will be completely finished, right?

"Uncle! Uncle!" Thinking of this, Song Luoyi couldn't help but shout even louder.

"Could it be that he was deafened by the explosion?" Bai Wanyue waved the handkerchief in her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and moved towards the position where Song Guan had just been.

"Sister Yun, your gunpowder is quite powerful. Where did you get it?" When the smoke cleared, Zhou Sisi discovered with her sharp eyes that a big hole had indeed been blown open on the cliff.

"Well, rob others! This is my first time using it too. Looking at its power, blowing down a house should be a piece of cake. Next time, I'll grab more in case of emergency!" Song Lingyun also discovered the big hole on the other side of the cliff.

"Robbed? Then take me with you next time? I want to rob some too, so that if anyone messes with me in the future, I will blow up her house!" Zhou Sisi was really interested in the explosives of this era. It looked quite powerful just now.

"Okay! Your idea is good. I will grab more. After all, I have a lot of houses to blow up!" Song Lingyun smiled at Zhou Sisi, and the two walked towards the blown-up hole together.

Song Moli followed them and was speechless. What did they mean by "just in case"? What did they mean by "she wanted to blow up more houses"? Could it be that his cousin wanted to blow up the palace? This kind of thing was really hard to say. If Song Lingyun really went crazy, he would do it without hesitation.

“Ahhhh! My hand! It hurts!”

"Hurry up and spread your legs apart, my old waist is in trouble!" Song Guan's scream interrupted Song Moli's thoughts.

Then he saw Bai Wanyue and her cousin Song Luoyi seemed to have gotten down from her uncle, who was still lying on the ground in a mess, covered in mud.

"Sorry, sorry, who told you to lie down here? We called you but you didn't answer!" Bai Wanyue quickly pulled Song Luoyi off Song Guan.

After Song Guan checked the fuse of the explosives, he quickly found a small pit and lay down. Because he was relatively close to the two people, even though he covered his ears, it was of no use. His ears were still buzzing from the huge noise, and he could not hear the two people calling him at all.

As a result, the smoke was too thick, and Bai Wanyue and Song Luoyi were so busy looking for him that they didn't see him lying in the small pit, and they just stepped on him, one stepped on his hand, and the other stepped on his old waist.

"I wanted to answer, but my ears were blown so hard that I feel like I'm deaf. I can't hear you guys talking at all. Hey guys, why don't you just step on me to death? It hurts so much!"

Song Guan climbed out of the small earth pit, his face covered in dirt. He looked at the two culprits with a resentful expression.

"I'm sorry, uncle, the smoke was too thick and we couldn't see clearly, hehe!" Song Luoyi looked at Song Guan, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and quickly put on a smile and apologized.

"Hmph! Forget it, I won't bother with you little girls!" Song Guan curled his lips, rubbed his old waist which was hurt by someone stepping on it just now, and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, forget it, it wasn't intentional, let's forget about it, after all he is the elder!"

"What is this?" Song Lingyun looked at Zhou Sisi staring at the big hole that was blown up with an expression that was a bit serious and a bit happy, so he asked curiously.

"This is a coal mine. We are going to get rich!"

"If we report this to the court, will the emperor reward us?" Zhou Sisi said, suppressing her inner excitement.

"What use are these black stones?" Song Luoyi reached out and picked up a small piece of coal from the cave entrance. She really didn't recognize these black stones, and they looked quite strange.

"Well, how should I tell you? Anyway, this is a natural energy source. It can replace wood for heating in winter. It burns much longer than wood. It can also be used to boil water and cook. The main thing is that it is convenient to use and more economical than charcoal."

"If I'm not mistaken, the area around us should be full of coal mines. We can only determine how much there is after mining."

Zhou Sisi did not explain too much. She couldn't say that coal could be used to generate electricity or as fuel for steam engines. She didn't plan to make any inventions, so there was no need to explain in such detail.

Song Luoyi was confused by what she heard. She didn't understand it at all. She only knew that this thing could be used to boil water and cook, and it was better than charcoal.

Song Moli's eyes lit up, he understood. To put it simply, these black stones are fuel. If they are mined in large quantities, every household in Dayu Kingdom will burn them to keep warm in winter, and there will be no more poor people freezing to death. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people!

"Then what are we waiting for? Report it to the court right away!" Song Guan rubbed his hands excitedly. Haha, he was the one who took the lead. His royal brother will definitely praise him a lot.

Who said he has no achievements? Here it comes!

"Let's wait and see. This should be just one of them. Sister Yun, what do you think?" Zhou Sisi threw the question to Song Lingyun.

"Well, this thing won't run away anyway. It's getting dark, and the stars should be out soon!" Song Lingyun handed the cowhide to Zhou Sisi.

"You figured it out too?" Zhou Sisi was surprised at Song Lingyun's intelligence.

"I guess so. Just wait until dark and you'll know then!" Song Lingyun gave Zhou Sisi a look that said you understand.

Song Guan was at a loss. What was the riddle between the two? Why did they have to wait until dark? Wouldn't the wild animals in the mountains come out when it was dark? What if they encountered a wolf?

"What are you two talking about? Why can't we understand?" Bai Wanyue frowned and looked at the two people in front of her. She didn't understand what they were talking about.

"That's right, you don't understand. Pack up your things and wait until dark!" Zhou Sisi smiled and urged Bai Wanyue and others to pack up.

After hearing her say this, the few people could only pack up their things and wait until dark.

The previous explosion also alarmed another team of people going up the mountain, and it also saved the lives of this team because they were targeted by a pack of wolves shortly after entering the mountain.

Just when the battle was about to break out, an explosion was heard. The wolves were so frightened that they fled in all directions and didn't care about these people, which allowed them to escape this disaster.

"Fourth Prince, why don't we leave? This Daqing Mountain is too dangerous!"

"It's getting dark, and wild animals are often seen at night. Let's go back. If you get into danger, how can I explain to the emperor?"

A man dressed as an official began to tremble in his calves. Although they brought more than twenty guards with them, the wolves they had just seen had already frightened him out of his wits.

"Are you scared now? Aren't they just a few wolves? We finally managed to evade the patrols of Dayu Kingdom and the eyes of our eldest and third brothers. I've already come here, and you want me to go back? Are you crazy or am I?"

"Originally, this Daqing Mountain belongs to us Liang Xia. What's wrong with me looking for our own royal family's treasure?"

"Just shut up right now! Stop talking nonsense, or this Daqing Mountain will be your burial place!"

The man who looked like an official did not dare to say anything more at this moment. He just wondered in his heart why he had to come along on this trip. Wouldn't it be better to just stay in Liangxia Kingdom honestly?

It’s really your own fault!
