Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

The fuse burned out, and a large amount of white smoke came out from the explosion point in front, blocking everyone's vision.

"Father, everyone, get down quickly!"

Looking at the thick white fog in front of them, everyone still squatted down at Shen Yu's reminder.

Some of the timid ones even hid behind pillars for cover.

At this moment, a "puff puff!!!" sound came from the front.

Then after the "puff" sound, no one heard any movement for a long time.

Shen Yu and Ye Ling looked at each other, both confused.

The formula clearly hasn't changed, so why hasn't the gunpowder exploded?

This unexpected change gave both of them a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after a long time, the smoke finally cleared.

At the explosion point under the lookout tower, not to mention the huge rocks, even the weeds next to the rocks were still lush and green, swaying in the wind.

"Is this...is this the end?"

Everyone was confused and looked at Shen Yu.

The Third Prince of Yan couldn't help but retort, "Is this the gunpowder that my royal brother was talking about, the one that can easily blow up rocks and shake the world?"

"Brother, are you kidding me?"

"No! Impossible! This is impossible!" Shen Yu ignored everyone's obstruction and went to the explosion site alone to check the situation.

Ye Ling and everyone followed closely behind.

Looking at the intact boulders and sand in front of him, Shen Yu began to panic, "How could this happen..."

Everyone started talking.

Emperor Yan's expression also became extremely ugly.

If this is the so-called 'gunpowder', then its power is not even as strong as Daxia's firecrackers!

At this time, the Third Prince of Yan began to seduce his eyes, "Royal brother, you are after all a prince of Great Yan. It is understandable that you miss your homeland and flee back to your country secretly."

"But the gunpowder issue concerns the vital plans of the Yan State. You absolutely shouldn't use this to tease my father and the ministers!"

"I didn't!" Shen Yu retorted angrily, suppressing the panic in his heart, "It shouldn't be like this..."

What went wrong?

Suddenly he looked at Ye Ling beside him and asked anxiously, "Ling'er, you invented gunpowder, so tell me what's going on here?!"

"This……"

She doesn't know what's going on either?

The gunpowder ratio was the same, and it was successful the first two times.

But feeling the doubtful gazes of the crowd, Ye Ling could only bite the bullet and say, "Maybe there's something wrong with the gunpowder ratio this time..."

Shen Yu asked seriously, "Can you fix it?"

Ye Ling nodded.

She succeeded the first time, the second time, and the third time.

"I'll try to adjust it. It should be OK, but it will take me some time."

With Ye Ling's assurance, Shen Yu finally felt confident again.

He knelt before the Emperor of Yan and said, "Your Majesty, I will tell you everything I have seen, heard, and said."

"Perhaps there's a problem with the gunpowder material this time. Please give me a little more time, Father. I will definitely not let you down."

Emperor Yan's expression eased slightly, but his tone was cold and hard. "If that's the case, I'll give you another seven days. If you can't satisfy me after seven days, I'll punish you for deceiving the emperor!"

After saying this, Emperor Yan angrily threw his sleeves and left.

Seeing that Emperor Yan was angry, everyone dared not join in the fun and left in a hurry.

On the other hand, the Third Prince of Yan looked at Shen Yu kneeling on the ground, curled his lips and smiled, "Royal brother, I hope what you just said is true, otherwise even I, your royal brother, can't protect you."

Shen Yu slowly stood up, his eyes cold, "Don't bother me, my royal brother."

He clenched his fists and made up his mind.

One day, he will make everyone crawl at his feet and look up to him for the rest of their lives!

------

Qin Zheng led the army all the way to Lu County, Yuyang County, on the border of Yan State.

Sun Miao, the prefect of Yuyang County, and Cai Jiansheng, the magistrate of Lu County, personally welcomed them into the city.

"Generals, you have come a long way and have worked hard. I have prepared some wine and food in the mansion to welcome you."

"Good work."

When everyone entered the city, the people in the city stood on both sides of the street. They did not talk to each other, nor did they laugh or speak. It was very quiet.

Looks very organized.

Arrived at the military camp.

Seeing the soldiers in the barracks, Qin Zheng asked, "How many soldiers are stationed in Yuyang County now?"

"A total of eight thousand." Sun Miao said truthfully.

Afterwards, Qin Zheng and others, led by Sun Miao, checked the city defense layout.

After everything was arranged, the generals, led by Qin Zheng, came to Cai Jiansheng's residence.

Stepping into the mansion, looking at the empty courtyard and the few servants, Qin Zheng looked at Cai Jiansheng with an ambiguous expression.

"The house is simple, so I may have to trouble you all." Cai Jiansheng said with a smile.

With such furnishings in the mansion, the county magistrate can indeed be called honest.

When it was time to eat, Cai Jiansheng looked a little embarrassed as he looked at the vegetables, tofu and minced meat soup on the table.

"This year's harvest is not very good. I hope the generals will not be dissatisfied."

The young generals looked at each other, each with different thoughts in their minds, and then they all turned their eyes to Qin Zheng who was sitting in the top position.

Qin Zheng seemed unaware of this and simply picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat calmly. "It's okay, this is already very good."

Seeing this, everyone started to eat.

During the meal, Qin Zheng learned from Cai Jiansheng that although Shen Yu had fled back to Yan State, there had been no movement from Yan State so far.

Yuyang County is temporarily safe.

Return to the military tent.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Ning, what do you think about what happened today?" Gu Ci asked first.

Ever since entering the city today, he felt that everything was strange.

He didn't believe that Qin Zheng and Sui Ning couldn't see it.

As expected, Sui Ning said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid that Magistrate Cai of Lu County is not as honest as we see on the surface."

When entering the city, the people seemed to be managed in a very orderly manner, but the whole state was lifeless.

Without exception, their faces were all filled with fatigue.

Half a year ago, she presented the cement recipe to Song Mu. With Song Mu's means, it should have benefited the entire Great Xia Dynasty by now.

But when she looked at the city defense layout today, she found that the reinforced cement on the city wall looked like it had just solidified in the past two days.

It was obviously a temporary construction.

There is also the layout at Tsai Ing-wen’s residence today.

Although the courtyard looked empty, the flowers and plants that could not be moved looked very neat and beautiful. They must have been trimmed regularly by someone.

Qin Zheng nodded in agreement.

"A Ning is right. Lu County is under the jurisdiction of Yuyang County. I'm afraid the county magistrate is also involved."

But a glimpse of the whole picture shows that there are obviously big problems in Yuyang County.

But now that the war is imminent, they don't have any extra time to engage in internal conflicts.

Gu Ci said bluntly, "If you ask me, we should just lead the troops and take down the county governor and the county magistrate in one fell swoop!"

Rough words are not rough.

"A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. We must fight quickly and decisively." Sui Ning also expressed his opinion.

The three of them looked at each other and immediately had an idea.
