Chapter 235 Don’t You Regret?
The queen was already used to his gangster-like way of speaking. She glanced at him and began to rub her temples.
There have been continuous battles these past few days, with almost no time for rest.
They haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time.
Lu Xinran stood beside the queen, serving her tea and water, and considerately massaging her shoulders.
There was no traitor, so the biggest purpose of her trip had been achieved.
The grudges and entanglements between the three queens, well, although it is quite interesting, but eating too much fish and meat will make you sick of it...
So she has been working as a maid for the Queen these days, and has also worked with Lu Xinlan to research two edible medicinal foods to nourish the Queen's body.
"You have worked hard these past few days."
"How could that be? We can't help you at all. However, I have something good that I want to show you."
While she was talking, Lu Xinlan just came in with a few bowls of mung bean soup.
Life at the border was hard, and they only found a few handfuls of mung beans in the kitchen of the general's mansion.
The queen uttered an "oh" with interest, picked up the bowl of mung bean soup and drank it in one gulp.
"What good stuff?"
Lu Xinran poked Lu Xinlan's arm, and Lu Xinlan understood and took out the homemade explosives they made from the corner.
The two of them have conducted many experiments in the past few days and this is the best homemade explosive that can be mixed under the existing conditions.
"Aunt, have you heard that fireworks can hurt people if not stored properly?"
The Queen paused for a moment and then looked anxiously at the strangely shaped black cloth bag in her hand.
Lu Xinlan pointed at the explosives in his hand and smiled: "If we haven't miscalculated, this amount of explosives will kill at least dozens of people."
If people were crowded together during the siege, perhaps a few more could be killed.
The queen stood up excitedly, and even Xie Lang, who was standing beside her, didn't even bother to drink the mung bean soup in the bowl, but hurried over to look at this magical explosive.
"Can it really achieve the effect you said?"
Xie Lang took the explosives, looked at it carefully, and still found it hard to believe.
Lu Xinlan nodded: "We have limited materials, so we can only do this for now."
This was great news for the Queen and the others. Many soldiers in the army had been killed or wounded, and what they lacked now was a means to quickly defeat the enemy.
“Is this thing easy to make?”
"That's good, but don't you want to try it out?"
Xie Lang’s eagerness and trust made the two sisters a little unsure. What if the effect did not reach the dozens of people they said, wouldn’t that disappoint everyone?
"It doesn't matter. It would be best if we have this. If we don't have this, we will just be in this situation now."
So if it works out, that’s the best, but if it doesn’t, it won’t have any impact on him.
Lu Xinran: “…”
Very good, this is indeed his usual speaking style.
They felt there was no need to look at it, but the two sisters thought they should try it out first.
This is the most powerful one they have ever made. Judging from the amount of explosives filled in, the explosive power should be quite large. If it is detonated in the city, it is likely to cause casualties.
Therefore, the best way is to conduct experiments on the Qiang people on the city wall.
Xie Lang asked about the specific method of igniting the fire, and then instructed his deputy general to set it off.
The result came in just a quarter of an hour. They used a small catapult to throw explosives into the Chahar military camp.
The explosives exploded the moment they hit the ground, blowing up several surrounding military camps.
Not only did the Qiang people panic and not know what was going on, but the deputy general who had personally gone out was also shocked. He ran back, gasping for breath and unable to finish his words for a long time.
Xie Lang was originally nonchalant and did not take it seriously, but after hearing his intermittent talk, he immediately became excited and asked someone to make arrangements.
There were not many materials in the city, and the number that could be made was limited. The entire army worked all night and only made two or three hundred.
But this number was enough to intimidate Chahar and make him dare not attack the city easily again.
As long as we can survive these few days, food and supplies can be transported to Hanyu Pass.
In the following days, the deterrent effect of the explosives offensive was noticeably weakened.
Every night, Xie Lang would order his men to throw explosives into the Chahar military camp.
Lu Xinran has completely witnessed the methods of General Xie, who is really incompetent.
However, when she thought that the unlucky one was the one who wanted to kill them, she felt that this method was well used, very good!
"The food and fodder have arrived. They are in the mountains."
Xie Lang hurriedly called the queen away, and Lu Xinran looked speechlessly at the pages of the book rolled up by the figure.
She quietly put away the things on the table and then came to the window.
"General Qi, do you regret not being able to get out of bed and fight alongside the Queen?"
Qi Yu: "..."
Do the younger generations today ask questions so directly?
He coughed lightly and looked away: "Regret, not really."
After all, just being able to see her was already a complete surprise.
He was not as bold as Xie Lang, who dared to calculate everything, so he only kept his love in his heart and dared not show it in the slightest.
"General Ma Linyuan will arrive from Haishan Pass in a few days."
"Yes, the reinforcements have arrived, and the crisis here can be resolved to a certain extent."
By then, the crisis at Hanyu Pass will be resolved, and we can start to take back Yucheng Pass.
Lu Xinran's thoughts were not as naive as his. Although there had been constant wars during this period and the queen was under great pressure and could only sleep for a few hours a day, her mood had visibly become more open.
Her every frown and smile are far different from what they were like in the palace before.
If such a lively queen were to return to the capital, she would probably become depressed again and would have to wear a mask and remain dignified and polite forever.
Secretly, she didn't want her to go back, but this matter required planning.
Qi Yu listened to her thoughts and his heart began to beat violently.
Queen...can you stay here and accompany them forever?
Xie Lang went through so much trouble and almost ruined his reputation. Was it just for this?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this should be the case. His heart, which had already begun to grow silent, came back to life.
He can't just heal like this!
Lu Xinlan heard their conversation from afar, smiled and walked forward to pull the people away.
"Walls have ears, so don't say certain things."
Lu Xinran: “???”
What did she just say?
Or did she accidentally say that she didn't want the Queen to return to the capital?
Pulling Lu Xinlan back to the room where they slept, she whispered in his ear.
"How do you think we can help the Queen without exposing ourselves?"
Lu Xinlan: “…”
With your voice as a big colander, it is probably impossible to hide it.
The emperor only needed to call them to the palace and ask them a random question and they would confess everything in their hearts.
"Do you think we can ask Song Junyan for help? I see that he has been following General Xie all this time, and he is more dedicated than those deputy generals. He must have noticed the changes in the Queen."
If Song Junyan were to take the blame, could they feel free to think of solutions?
Lu Xinlan lit a candle for Song Junyan again in her heart, and nodded with a smile when she thought about how this girl had little defense against Song Junyan.
"Then find an opportunity to test him and see how he reacts before deciding whether to ask him for help."
Drag him into the water
