The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

She just quickened her pace and walked straight ahead without looking around.

After walking for several more minutes, they finally arrived at their destination.

What comes into view is an unremarkable little house nestled in a lush forest.

The hut looked very simple, even a little shabby, but strangely, there were bursts of noisy noises coming from inside the house.

Shi Jinyan looked inside curiously and saw several burly, muscular men in the room busy with their respective tasks.

These people looked serious and focused, and seemed to have completely ignored the two extra people at the door.

But the moment Shi Jinyan and Gu Fanchu stepped into the house, the men who were originally working hard seemed to suddenly sense some danger. They all raised their heads and stared at the two of them with eyes full of vigilance and caution.

Gu Fanchu turned to look at Fang Bo and said with a firm look:

"Fang Bo, please go and get ready!"

Fang Bo nodded and quickly turned and left.

Gu Fanchu carefully supported Shi Jinyan and slowly walked towards a relatively safe place.

Soon, Fang Bo appeared with a man.

They looked serious and walked cautiously, holding something that looked quite mysterious steadily in their hands.

The object is wrapped so tightly that its true appearance cannot be seen.

The two of them slowly walked to a pool near the mountain and gently placed the objects in their hands on an open space beside the pool.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Bo took out two protective masks from his arms, handed one to the man, and put on the other skillfully himself.

They stood there quietly, as if waiting for some important moment to come.

The atmosphere around was extremely tense, as if even the air had frozen.

The man took out a fire starter, leaned forward and lit the thin fuse on the package, and then several people quickly left the place and retreated to the back.

Only a "hissing" sound was heard, and the small fuse quickly burned to the end.

Immediately afterwards, a loud "bang" suddenly erupted, like the force of thunder, deafening.

An extremely huge ball of fire suddenly exploded at the previous location, like a dazzling meteor across the sky, and then violently hit the ground.

The powerful impact caused the surrounding rocks to break and shatter, splashing everywhere, like a torrential rain of stones.

A deep pit was blown out of the originally solid ground, the size of which was jaw-dropping.

Shi Jinyan, who has always been known for his calmness, found it difficult to remain calm at this moment.

His eyes widened, his face full of surprise, and his body involuntarily leaned forward slightly, as if he couldn't wait to rush over to find out what was going on.

At this moment, Gu Fanchu was quick to reach out and grab him tightly, resolutely stopping the impulsive man from going forward to take risks and explore.

The two of them just stood there quietly, waiting, and time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, after a long while, after confirming that the surroundings were safe, Gu Fanchu slowly released his hand that was tightly holding Shi Jinyan's arm.

When he was free, Jin Yan said nothing and walked towards the big pit like an arrow.

When he came to the edge of the pit and looked down, he saw some black powder remaining inside.

These powders emit a strange and pungent smell that makes people frown.

Shi Jinyan slowly stood up and turned to face Gu Fanchu.

At this moment, his handsome face was still filled with shock, and his eyes were gleaming with a fiery light, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

"What the hell is this thing? It's so powerful! It's incredible!"

Shi Jinyan's brain was working rapidly, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.

If this mysterious and powerful item could be used on the battlefield, what kind of earth-shattering effect would it produce?

Why should we worry about not being able to repel the invasion of foreign enemies?

Thinking of this, a surge of ecstasy and anticipation surged in his heart.

The man next to Gu Fanchu also had a look of surprise in his eyes:

"This is a mineral I discovered by chance. It is flammable and highly destructive. When combined with some other things, it becomes even more powerful."

Speaking of this, she looked at Shi Jinyan intently, with a probing tone in her voice:

"If this thing were used on the battlefield, it would be extremely powerful. However, if it fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid there would be endless trouble. Zixi, how do you want to use this thing?"

She believed in Shi Jinyan's character, so she brought him here today. In fact, the fight for the throne between the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince had nothing to do with her. As long as she could protect the General's Mansion and her relatives, that would be enough.

Shi Jinyan was silent for a long time, and finally regained his usual calm demeanor. He stood up and walked over to the woman:

"This matter is extremely dangerous, so no word of it can be leaked at all. No matter what, this thing can only be used for righteous purposes. When I return, I will send more people to take charge, and we must not attract other people's attention."

He raised his hand and removed a piece of catkins that had fallen on the woman's hair, his eyes gentle yet firm:

"Thank you for telling me this. In the future, we will be one. I promise you that as long as I am here, I will make sure this thing is used for the right purpose, and I will also protect everything in the General's Mansion."

Shi Jinyan looked at Gu Fanchu in front of him, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

In his eyes, Gu Fanchu was like a dazzling treasure, emitting charming light, attracting his gaze and attention all the time.

Moreover, she often brings him unexpected surprises, which are like flowers blooming in spring, colorful and fragrant, making him intoxicated and unable to stop.

Especially today's incident, Jin Yan was well aware of its importance, but Gu Fanchu handled it just right and solved the problem perfectly, which made him look at her with admiration.

Recalling the time when Gu Fanchu asked him if he was on the side of the Crown Prince, Shi Jinyan nodded without hesitation:

"The Crown Prince and I grew up together. In that cold and cruel palace, we supported each other and overcame countless hardships and dangers together.

The Crown Prince is an upright and kind person, patient and resolute, with a heart that cares for the people of the world. Given time, he will surely become a wise and benevolent monarch!"

After hearing these words, Gu Fanchu's mind became clear about everything. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a smile as bright as the sun.
