I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

Although Dai Viet's officialdom was corrupt and the court was in chaos, there were still some things in the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works and the army.

For example, the thunder bomb developed by the Ministry of War last year was said to be based on the incident of a Taoist priest’s furnace exploding while refining alchemy.

Unfortunately, thunder bombs only cause slightly more damage than fireworks, and are not particularly useful on the battlefield. No one in the border town uses them on the battlefield.

Wang Bo heard the discussion among the people in Dingshui Village and was surprised that Jiang Qinyu could actually make something with the same effect as the thunder bomb, and the functions were different.

What else can't this woman do?

He suddenly felt a little envious of Lu Yanzheng for being able to marry such a woman. If he had such a virtuous wife...

Wang Bo's gaze towards Jiang Qinyu suddenly changed, but there were too many people present and everyone was so excited that no one noticed.

After determining the direction of the underground river, Village Chief Li decided to go and check it out early tomorrow morning.

Jiang Qinyu was determined to go, so she handed her two children to Chen that night and gave her the key to her house.

The next day, Meng Tianze and Wang Bo, along with Village Chief Li, Jiang Qinyu, and several villagers who were good at digging cellars, went to the ditch weir.

Meng Tianze pointed to a hill not far ahead and said, "We came out from there. The underground river is right underneath. However, the flow has dried up about two hundred meters from here to the direction of Yezhuping."

As he spoke, the group climbed over the hill and went back in from the place where they had come out yesterday.

"This place was discovered by Xiaobo." Meng Tianze mentioned.

Wang Bo immediately waved his hand modestly, "I'm just lucky..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Qinyu slipped and gasped. Just as she was about to hold onto the protruding rock next to her, she felt someone holding her other arm.

"Mrs. Lu, be careful." Wang Bo's voice sounded in his ears.

Jiang Qinyu's heart skipped a beat. She calmly pulled her arm away, said thank you lightly, and then moved away from him.

If emotional comments were allowed at this moment, Jiang Qinyu would definitely be surrounded by the phrase "Jia Ziyin, get out of here!"

She couldn't understand why Wang Bo's words just now were so cryptic. His voice was obviously not that deep and heavy, but he had to deliberately lower his voice when speaking, which gave people goosebumps.

Apart from this little episode, there was nothing unusual about Wang Bo's subsequent itinerary, and Jiang Qinyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There's really nothing she can say about this situation. She doesn't like it, but she can't suddenly lose her temper openly.

The constraints on women in today's era are greater than those in modern times, especially for a widow like her whose husband has died. If she tells others what Wang Bo thinks of her because he speaks to her in a clipped tone, she will definitely be despised by everyone.

Anyway, after what happened just now, Jiang Qinyu has decided to stay away from Wang Bo completely. No matter whether he has any bad intentions or not, she will never be alone with him, so as to avoid any uncontrollable consequences.

They went down to the underground river from here, which was much faster than going to Yezhuping. After all, compared to there, this place was only the foot of the mountain.

It was an hour later when we finally stood in front of the dry river.

Meng Tianze and Village Chief Li were holding torches and surrounding Jiang Qinyu. Meng Tianze pointed to the end of the river and said, "The river will extend outwards in another hundred or so meters."

After extending it, we can start digging canals according to the direction of the fields in Dingshui Village.

But before that, the water from the underground river must be diverted out to cover the dry section.

But these are easy to solve. The difficult part is how to open up the tunnel of about 100 meters ahead.

Jiang Qinyu can do directional blasting, but it also requires calculating some data and using conservative methods.

There was no way, the restrictions were too great, and her professional knowledge was almost useless.

"Uncle Village Chief, I have noted down the situation below. I have to go up there to take a look, and then ask everyone to gather the things I need. We can start work in about three days." Jiang Qinyu said to Village Chief Li after reading it.

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Li clapped his hands and said, "Okay! I'll arrange it when I get back. Niece, if you need anything, please let me know."

"Yes, sister-in-law, if you need me, just ask someone to call me at any time." Meng Tianze also said with a smile.

Wang Bo's voice that gave people goosebumps came again, "And me, Mrs. Lu, I've seen something similar to what you made in the army, maybe I can help."

"Oh, you've seen it? That's great, then you can help my niece..." Village Chief Li said happily.

Jiang Qinyu declined the offer, but she couldn't refuse openly at this moment, so she just forced a fake smile.

A group of people came out from underground. Jiang Qinyu estimated the distance of the underground river and circled the hill several times.

Feeling somewhat confident, Jiang Qinyu and her group returned to the village.

After being busy for most of the day, Jiang Qinyu just wanted to go home for dinner, but was stopped by Wang Bo.

"Mrs. Lu, I'm away for a few days. Thank you for taking care of Miss Liu."

If rolling eyes wasn't so unsightly, Jiang Qinyu's eyes would have definitely been rolled up to the sky by now.

"First, I didn't help at all. Second, your problems have nothing to do with me, so don't come to me to thank me for no reason. Third..." Jiang Qinyu looked at Wang Bo coldly, "You should first improve your relationship with your mother and Miss Liu so as not to affect the villagers' work."

Yesterday, Mrs. Wang went to the family that took in Liu Ruyi and made a fuss because she heard that Liu Ruyi had given that family ten taels of silver.

When Wang Bo brought Liu Ruyi home, he always treated her as a distinguished guest and also told Wang Po the same thing. Naturally, he would not ask for Liu Ruyi's money.

But when Liu Ruyi went to someone else's house, she immediately gave them ten taels of silver for food and lodging. This made Wang Po furious, and she ran to the other person's house and made a scene. It was only when Village Chief Li stepped in that the problem was resolved.

Jiang Qinyu knew about this, but she didn't care. It was as if it didn't exist to her.

It was really because Wang Bo's behavior today was a bit too abnormal, otherwise she would not have spoken so easily.

"Mrs. Lu, please don't misunderstand. There is nothing wrong between Miss Liu and me. There is absolutely no abnormal relationship..." Wang Bo explained hurriedly.

He originally wanted to invite Liu Ruyi back, but now that he knew Jiang Qinyu could make something more powerful than the Thunderbolt Bomb, he changed his mind.

Jiang Qinyu interrupted him directly, "I don't care about your relationship, and it has nothing to do with me. In short, just don't come in front of me."

After saying that, she turned around and left, completely unaware of how ugly Wang Bo's face was.

After Wang Bo returned to the Wang family, he had a big quarrel with Mrs. Wang.

Wang Bo angrily yelled at Wang Pozi, "Do you know who Liu Ruyi is? She's the daughter of a Duke's mansion! She's not some third-rank or fifth-rank official's daughter, she's the daughter of a Duke's mansion!"
