His heart softened. "Help the madam back," he said.
"It's fine. Help me to the workshop. It's where you keep the materials."
"Guards, escort the madam there."
"Yes, sir."
The soldiers respected Bai Xiangxiu. She was still trying to figure out a way to neutralize the explosives even though she was so sick.
Bai Xiangxiu was abnormally embarrassed when she received their respectful gazes. This was all their general's fault. She'd almost been dismembered, you know?
The soldiers escorted her to a remote place. Bai Xiangxiu had asked for it. If the experiment failed, she would be the only one who would die.
Actually, she did not have to put herself in such a dangerous situation. Her opponent had not succeeded in their experiment, so she did not have to make it so dangerous. If they tried to bombard her with the explosives, she would be responsible for all the deaths.
She followed the instructions from her memory. She had more than ten people around her to prepare the materials and the equipment.
It took her an entire day to prepare everything. When she dragged her tired body back, she found that Long Heng and the others were also working on a countermeasure. They had developed a type of iron shield that could be used to block the explosives.
The cavalry would not be on the battlefield for the time being. The infantry and the shields would be used to attack.
This was a good idea. Her husband was quite smart!
Bai Xiangxiu learned more about the production of the explosives during the night. She said that she had learned it from a book and that she was trying to recall it.
Long Heng didn't have the time to suspect her, because he knew that Commander Lu would organize another ambush very soon.
They had no choice. The enemy had special weapons. If they tried to suppress them, they would be ambushed if they strayed too far away.
Bai Xiangxiu had to do what she had to do to break this stalemate.
She was very careful because these were very special items. She could make a big mistake if she made too much movement or the quantity was not accurate.
Fortunately, she had seen the production process with her own eyes. She was able to produce the first batch of ten explosives with ease.
The effect was similar to a grenade. Or rather, it was like a modern child's game of throwing a cannon.
It was quieter, but more powerful.
"Why don't I do it?"
Long Heng looked at Bai Xiangxiu and trembled a little. He was afraid that she would blow him up.
She was now in a very sorry state. The previous experiment had burned her long hair until it reached her waist.
Although it didn't seem to affect her beauty, he still felt a little sorry for her.
However, the other party didn't seem to care at all. When he saw Long Heng standing in front of him with an iron shield, he couldn't help but smile.
As for Song Jiaoyue and Yu Kuang, they didn't leave. They were watching to see if the experiment was a success.
Bai Xiangxiu took the gunpowder bomb and threw it at a small tree. Then, she immediately shrank behind her shield. Her movements were very fast. She shrank only a little. It looked very funny.
Song Jiaoyue smiled and shook his head. This girl was very interesting.
Hong, his face instantly paled. He removed the sleeve that he had subconsciously used to cover his face, and silently retracted his interesting words.
"It's so dangerous." Yu Kuang's movements were faster than his. He flashed ten steps away and then returned.
"She's been staying with such dangerous things for the past few days?" Song Jiaoyue's face was a little pale.
"It's a success, a success." Bai Xiangxiu was very happy. She threw her head into Long Heng's arms.
The soldiers silently turned their faces to the side. They all felt that this situation was very warm, but it also made them blush.
"Aiya, it hurts."
A certain person was in a tragedy because Long Heng was wearing armor.
"…" Long Heng was a little speechless. He lifted the person up and said, "This thing is too dangerous. You can tell the formula to others, and move it outside the city to do it."
"Others?
Long Heng, it's better for me to do this kind of thing myself! "
"You …"
"Because if it falls into the hands of others, I don't know what will happen."
What she said was not wrong. If such a powerful weapon fell into the hands of others, it would only increase their desire. When the time comes, I'm afraid the world would be even more chaotic.
"Well, I'll listen to you. As long as we make a hundred of them, it will be enough to attack the people on the other side. They won't dare to take out that kind of thing to show off."
"En."
Bai Xiangxiu knew the meaning of Long Heng's words. He was afraid that she would be in danger.
But she was a little strange. Did the people on the other side really exist? If they really existed, who would they be?
Long Heng and the others used a few days of preparation to explore the location of their current camp. Then they took Bai Xiangxiu's gunpowder and set out.
Of course, there was also a team of shield soldiers left behind to protect Ning City.
This attack would not be done in a day or two, so Bai Xiangxiu was a little worried.
Fortunately, Song Jiaoyue and Yu Kuang went with them. They were also hot-blooded men. They couldn't watch their country lose.
Now that the weather had turned to autumn, the weather was cold and the leaves were yellow. She didn't know how Xiao Lin was at home.
He should already be able to call his parents!
Just as she was thinking, she felt a pain in the back of her neck. She felt that someone must be sneak attacking her.
But it was too late. She fell forward and fainted on the ground.
"Huo Er, who kidnapped me?"
Bai Xiangxiu was still conscious when she was unconscious. As long as she contacted the Huo Er in advance, she could talk to it as long as she was asleep.
"Two men. They can fly around."
"Fly?
How far am I from Ning City? Which direction are they flying in? Who is behind them? "
"Master, slow down. The Huo Er needs to sense them one by one."
"Okay, take your time. But before I wake up."
"They are flying south. They are one, two, three, four, five miles away from the city.
There's no one else behind them other than you. "
"Uh …"
Bai Xiangxiu was a little speechless. The person behind them was not the person behind them. A few days ago, they even praised the Huo Er for knowing some things!
Just as she was thinking, Bai Xiangxiu felt as if she had taken a cold shower.
"What's wrong?"
"Master, someone is feeding me water."
"Oh, the person behind them I mean …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was awakened by the fall. All the bones in her body were almost displaced. She was in so much pain that she frowned.
A cold voice said, "Are you awake?"
Bai Xiangxiu didn't pretend. She slowly sat up and said, "Falling like this, even a dead person would wake up …" Before she could finish her sentence, someone grabbed her by the hair and threw her directly onto a wooden bed.
The man was slowly approaching her. As he walked, he took off his clothes.
Damn it, was he going to rape her?
"Who are you?
Don't you know that I am Li Of Gojoseon's concubine? "
She actually knew that this man had known her identity long ago. Otherwise, why would he kidnap her?
"A concubine is just a man's plaything." The man's voice was extremely cold. He didn't give her any chance to refute.
He walked to the bedside and stopped Bai Xiangxiu, who was about to escape, with one hand. He reached out and slapped her twice.
