He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

That thing appeared so early?

An Wuyang felt as if something had stung his heart.

In her previous life, Luo Qingfan rose to prominence by virtue of her skill in making muskets, becoming a high-ranking official in the court who could rival Yan Juzhi despite being a woman, which shows how powerful muskets are.

However, at this time in her previous life, her musket should have still been in the experimental stage, and it shouldn't have had such great power.

Could it be... ?

An Wuyang dared not continue thinking about it. She secretly went to the tree that Luo Qingfan had shot at with a musket.

The tree trunk had a fist-sized hollow hole in it, which was truly terrifying.

only……

The inner walls of the hole are smooth, and there is no charred charcoal around it. Could it have been dug in advance?

An Wuyang looked at the tree roots again and sure enough, there were some wood chips left behind.

She actually dared to forge documents!?

This matter concerns the safety of Ning County. How could Luo Qingfan resort to such despicable means to show off?

An Wuyang was furious and wished he could punish her on the spot!

However, because of Luo Qingfan's move, the people of Ning County were outraged.

An Wuyang only heard someone beside him shout, "Great! We're saved!"

"With such powerful weapons, we certainly won't be slaughtered by the remnants of the Python King's forces!"

Many people even wept bitterly because of this.

Luo Qingfan noticed An Wuyang's actions, but only slightly raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes showing disdain.

Then, she turned to look at Yan Juzhi.

"So? Are you sure you don't want to have a proper talk with me?"

Luo Qingfan raised her eyebrows slightly, displaying an air of certainty.

Yan Juzhi maintained a cryptic smile, clapped his hands, and seemed quite pleased.

"very good!"

"I never imagined that such a small county as Ning County would have a talent like Miss Luo."

Yan Juzhi's affirmation filled Luo Qingfan with joy. Her eyes burned as she stared intently at Yan Juzhi, as if the man before her were her prey.

Finally, Luo Qingfan raised an eyebrow and looked at An Wuyang, her face revealing an undisguised calculating look: "I wonder what Madam An thinks?"

Clearly, Luo Qingfan already knew that An Wuyang had discovered her secret.

But she didn't care!

After all, so many people in Ning County believe in her now. If An Wuyang were to reveal the truth at this time, it would inevitably lead to instability in the army.

Luo Qingfan could pretend that she did it to boost morale, but An Wuyang, out of jealousy, exposed her scheme.

When the time comes, a smear campaign will surely turn An Wuyang into a rat that everyone in Ning County hates, while I will be a brave and resourceful heroine.

Luo Qingfan's smile grew even more smug.

An Wuyang sneered, his gaze fixed intently on Luo Qingfan's face.

But as she parted her lips slightly, she said to Luo Qingfan, "Miss Luo is indeed... amazing!"

As An Wuyang finished speaking, Yan Juzhi also gestured "please" to Luo Qingfan.

"Since Miss Luo possesses such a powerful weapon, please come with me to see the city lord. Once we have devised a complete strategy, we will surely win tonight's battle decisively!"

Yan Juzhi's words thrilled Luo Qingfan. She naturally thought that she had gained Yan Juzhi's approval. In the future, as long as she used a little trick, she wouldn't have to worry about Yan Juzhi falling at her feet.

Luo Qingfan slowly walked up the high platform, stretched out her slender hand in the direction of Yan Juzhi, and waited for him to come and pick her up.

"Qingfan, Qingfan, wait for me!"

Li Huai-ren quickly squeezed through the crowd and grabbed Luo Qing-fan's hand.

"I am the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Zhongyong. My Li family is full of loyal and brave men. Although I am devoted to literature, I have been well-versed in military strategy since childhood. I am willing to offer my best advice and suggestions to protect the peace of Ning County tonight, and to do my utmost!"
