Chapter 181 Surprise
"Why do you save me and not the prince?" Zhongshu ordered Guan Zhengqing to question Wang Ruiyang who was breaking the seal for himself.
Wang Ruiyang squinted: "Don't pretend, I can see the happiness in your eyes."
Guan Zhengqing looked at Wang Ruiyang and said nothing.
"Okay, okay, Lao Guan, you have seen the situation at that time, it will be more convenient for me to save you."
"But you are closer to the prince."
"Yes, I'm closer to the prince, but that's why it's inconvenient to attack, so Dong Shikui is on guard. Besides, the prince's cultivation is only at the golden core stage, while you are at the Nascent Soul stage.
Do you think I can run away with a Jindan period? That prince, it seems that he doesn't understand anything at first sight, so I'm afraid he won't be able to suffer.
Lao Guan, this is all open, let me just say it straight: the moment the Second Prince left the country, his mission had already been completed.
Your Majesty's dispatch of the prince as an envoy is just an attitude. The moment he leaves the country, his meaning is over; whether he is dead or alive is irrelevant.
And you are the real negotiator.
Alright, let's hurry up and try to cross Qiufeng Ridge and reach the east as soon as possible.
Along the way, I am afraid that I will have to pretend to be a beggar, a refugee, or a handyman. "
Guan Zhengqing sighed and nodded slowly. Things have come to this point, and they can only continue to go on.
…………
It has been the third day that Zhang Hao and Zhou Xueyao have been busy. For more than two days, under Zhang Hao's guidance, the two were equipped with more than 30 kinds of explosive ratios, but they were not satisfied with the power.
"The one with the best effect is this one." Zhou Xueyao pointed to the black and red gunpowder powder in front of her. This is equipped with Dragon Blood Stone Crystals, Petroleum Coke, and Common Sulfur.
Its explosive power is almost ten times that of ordinary gunpowder; but... there are still some problems, because the sulfur in it is ordinary sulfur, so the power cannot reach the extreme.
Zhou Xueyao's face was very serious: "Although this kind of explosive is good, it can't bring much lethality to Jindan stage and above.
The problem now lies in the sulfur. If sulfur, which is also a spiritual material, can be found, the power of this explosive will increase several times again. At that time, it could even threaten the Nascent Soul Stage. "
Zhang Hao looked at the explosives in front of him, and frowned a little; the power of the explosives was indeed not enough, and he put it into a steel jar, but the steel jar only had a few cracks, but did not explode.
After thinking about it, Zhang Hao asked, "Is there any way to temporarily add a bit of aura to the sulfur?"
"This... Let me think about it... By the way, there really is! I'll look for it." Zhou Xueyao trotted to the bookstore and began to rummage through it. After a while, she came out excitedly holding a scroll, "I found it. I remember At that time, my father said that a "replacement method" can be used to replace the spirituality in a kind of spiritual material with a similar type of ordinary substance.
It's just that the spirituality of replacement is difficult to last. "
Zhou Xueyao opened the scroll, and after carefully reading the steps, she smiled: "It's quite simple. For sulfur...well... use high-grade spirit stones to provide spiritual sources."
With that said, Zhou Xueyao began to 'alchemy'. For the time being, this kind of spiritual replacement needs to be realized with the help of an alchemy furnace.
Zhou Xueyao's pale golden real fire slowly burned a small alchemy furnace, and her fingers were like butterflies piercing flowers, continuously making spells one by one. About five or six minutes later, a dense spiritual energy suddenly rushed out of the alchemy furnace, Zhou Xueyao's slender hand brushed the alchemy furnace lightly, and a water-blue bead appeared on the palm of her hand.
The beads are beautiful, pearl-sized, crystal clear.
But after seeing this bead, Zhou Xueyao's eyes were stunned: "This color... I seem to have seen it somewhere?"
"Really?" Zhang Hao was a little surprised.
"Let's try the power first." Zhou Xueyao carefully crushed this 'expensive spiritual brimstone'. Using a high-grade spirit stone to refine a little sulfur, the cost is beyond what can be described as expensive.
When the three powders were mixed evenly again, a little crystal luster appeared on the surface of the powder, which was very beautiful. Glittering like a pile of glass powder.
Zhang Hao and Zhou Xueyao rolled the gunpowder in a paper tube, put a fuse made of ordinary gunpowder, and put it in the corner of the wall. They kept away from each other and lit the gunpowder with a three-meter-long bamboo pole. The front of the bamboo pole was already burning red.
"boom!"
An unprecedented explosion appeared, the earth trembled slightly, and the wall was lifted directly to the sky and completely shattered.
A large crater of about three meters appeared at the location of the explosion. The shock wave lifted the stone slabs within a radius of ten meters, and the defensive barrier in front of Zhang Hao and Zhou Xueyao was crumbling.
It is so powerful that it is almost ten times stronger than the previous formula. Zhang Hao was stunned and then ecstatic.
The explosion was so violent that I don't know how many birds were alarmed. Even Zhang Shengde was startled, appeared above the small courtyard, and was relieved to see that Zhang Hao and Zhou Xueyao were fine. Then he asked angrily, "What are you doing!"
"Father, it's experimental explosives. How about it, the power is not bad."
"The ground is shaking and the mountains are shaking. You have shocked the whole family. Do you think it's okay!"
Zhou Xueyao stuck out the tip of her tongue at Zhang Hao embarrassingly and mischievously.
Lao Zhang obviously hasn't realized the future of gunpowder, he just thinks...too noisy.
Zhang Hao said a lot of good words and apologies before letting Zhang Shengde leave. Zhou Xueyao asked the guards to come in to clean up, while she tried her best to recall, where did she see it?
Suddenly, Zhou Xueyao's eyes stared straight, and she looked at the maid beside her who was clearing the table. On the maid's wrist, there is a bracelet woven by herself, on which hangs a carefully polished aqua blue "gem".
This maid was sent by the Zhang family to Zhou Xueyao.
"Xiaoyun!" Zhou Xueyao's tone was a bit strong.
"Miss." The maid Xiaoyun was startled by Zhou Xueyao's voice, and looked at Zhou Xueyao timidly.
Zhou Xueyao immediately put on a gentle smile: "Xiaoyun, can I see the gemstone in your hand?"
"Ah... oh... ok..." Xiaoyun hurriedly took off the bracelet.
Zhou Xueyao took it for identification for a moment, her eyes lit up, she nodded to Zhang Hao, and returned the bracelet to Xiaoyun, "Xiaoyun, where did you get this gem from?"
Xiaoyun was a little excited: "This... there are many on our mountain. It's very beautiful. It's a good thing. Wearing it often can reduce illness, prevent mosquitoes, and prevent prickly heat.
We are all called 'Shuiyu'. Our village is also called 'Shuiyu Village'.
If Miss likes it, I have a few more here.
Shuiyu is cheap and fragile, and every time I go home, I can take a lot of it. "
Zhou Xueyao smiled: "Okay. Which town is your Shuiyu Village in?"
"In Baishan Town, just southeast of Changshan Town and south of Dakuang Town. It's about eighty miles away from here."
Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly brightened - this Baishan Town is also the current fiefdom of the Zhang family!
