After hearing what he said, Chu Zixi nodded with a little relief, but the worry deep in her heart still could not be completely eliminated.

At this moment, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something. Her originally dull eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light, and she said anxiously: "Although the amount of ammunition I have stored here is really limited, however, we can try to make gunpowder ourselves!"

"Gunpowder? The barracks do have some in stock, but its power is quite limited." Jun Feimo frowned slightly and said. His eyes fell on Chu Zixi, with some doubt and expectation.

Chu Zixi shook her head gently and raised a confident smile: "Don't worry, I have a way to improve the gunpowder, so as to greatly increase its power. You know, the power of gunpowder does not only depend on its own composition, but more importantly, how to use it skillfully and mix it reasonably." As she said, she slowly stood up and walked lightly to the table.

I saw her gracefully pick up a brush, dip it in ink, and begin to sketch on the snow-white rice paper.

Each of her strokes was so calm and unhurried, as if what she was holding in her hand was not just an ordinary pen, but a scepter that could determine life and death.

As her pen tip moved, complex and exquisite patterns gradually appeared before everyone's eyes, as if it was not just a simple blueprint for improving gunpowder, but a grand blueprint that could determine the outcome of the entire battlefield.

"First of all, we must carefully select high-quality sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter. Because the ratio between these three is of paramount importance! Sulfur is mainly responsible for combustion, charcoal plays an auxiliary role in combustion, and saltpeter will trigger an extremely violent chemical reaction." Chu Zixi explained seriously while carefully marking the proportion of various raw materials on the drawing.

However, she did not stop there and continued, "But if we only rely on these conventional materials, it is obviously not enough to double the power of gunpowder. Therefore, I also plan to add some special substances, such as soda ash and borax. They can greatly enhance the explosive power and stability of gunpowder."

Jun Feimo listened attentively, his eyes gradually brightened, first revealing a hint of surprise, then deep admiration. He never expected that this seemingly ordinary gunpowder could be so cleverly improved and used to produce such amazing power.

"Not only that," Chu Zixi said in a clear and pleasant voice, "We can try to add some hard objects such as iron pieces and gravel to the gunpowder. In this way, when the gunpowder explodes, more fragments will be produced. These fragments will fly around at a very high speed, greatly increasing the lethality to the enemy."

Jun Feimo stared at the drawings spread out in front of him, which detailed various ideas and design plans for improving gunpowder.

A surge of lofty ambition suddenly surged in his heart, as if he were already on a fierce battlefield. The improved gunpowder exploded like a thunder that shook the earth, and billowing smoke and blazing flames rose into the sky. The enemy army panicked and retreated step by step in this terrifying scene filled with smoke and flames.

Jun Feimo could no longer suppress his excitement. He suddenly opened his arms and hugged Chu Zixi tightly, saying affectionately: "Xier, it is my great fortune to meet and know you in this life!"

Chu Zixi leaned gently in Jun Feimo's broad and warm embrace, a happy and sweet smile bloomed on her face, and she responded softly: "Isn't it the same for me?"

After a moment, Jun Feimo slowly let go of the beauty in his arms, then reached out and picked up the extremely precious blueprint, turned around and shouted loudly to the outside of the door: "An Yi, come in quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, a dark figure flashed in like a ghost. He quickly knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master, Princess."

Jun Feimo carefully handed the extremely finely drawn blueprint in his hand to An Yi, and solemnly instructed: "Send people immediately and make sure to find enough sulfur as soon as possible. Also, give this blueprint to Wang Cao. When he sees it, he will naturally know what to do."

An Yi knelt on one knee, took the blueprint with both hands, and replied respectfully: "Yes! I obey your command!"

Jun Feimo slowly turned around and gazed at Chu Zixi as gently as the warm spring sun.

With a guilty look on his face, he said softly, "I have been busy dealing with complicated military affairs these days, and I am too busy to spend time with Xier. Tonight, let me accompany Xier to the night market, okay?"

When Chu Zixi heard this, she just nodded her head and responded softly, "Okay."

After they finished talking, they smiled at each other and were about to walk out of the room hand in hand to go to the night market full of the flavor of life.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried and hurried footsteps came from far away.

Then, Tianyi's panicked and anxious voice was heard outside the door: "Master, Princess! The secret guards just sent an urgent report that General Yun was attacked on his way back!"

Chu Zixi suddenly rushed out of the door, her eyes wide open, staring at Tianyi in disbelief, "You...what did you just say?"

Jun Feimo followed Chu Zixi's steps closely, only to see that she was walking hurriedly and looking anxious.

He hurriedly walked a few steps to her side, stretched out his right hand, gently patted her slightly trembling shoulder, and comforted her in an extremely gentle voice: "Xier, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

After saying that, he slowly turned around, his originally gentle eyes suddenly became sharp as a torch, staring coldly at Tianyi who was lowering his head in front of him, and said sternly: "What happened? Tell me the truth quickly!"

Tianyi did not dare to neglect it. He quickly bent down, raised his hands high above his head, and respectfully presented a sealed letter. He whispered, "This is a secret letter from the secret guards that I just received. According to the letter, Young Master Yun and the princess were chased by unidentified people on their way back. The situation is very critical. Young Master Yun seems to have been seriously injured. Now they are trapped in Baihua Town and cannot escape."

"Baihua Town?" Chu Zixi's heart tightened when she heard the name of the place, and her worries became more intense. She frowned, her beautiful eyes were full of anxiety, and she shouted anxiously: "No, I must rush to Baihua Town to save them immediately!"
