Chapter 70 Fire, Saltpeter and Sugar

Du Heng said that this was a kind of psychological dependence. After all, he was her savior.

So Xue Feibai watched helplessly as Du Heng gave up his principle of "keep away from strangers" and always talked softly to Jinhua. Sometimes he even sat behind Jinhua and taught her how to ride a horse.

.But all the chores and errands were left to me. It was simply too much of a lie.

"By the way, sir, what are you and Mr. Xue doing in Yunnan?"

Xue Feibai curled his lips, calling her a young master, but now I am an adult? The difference is too obvious!

"Oh, there is a new magistrate in Chuncheng, do you know that?"

"Don't worry, it seems his surname is Wu..."

"That's right, it's him. We received an order to secretly investigate Mr. Wu... The rest, Jinhua, you'd better not listen to it." After saying that, Du Heng still had a look on his face that said, "These are filthy things."

Don’t dirty your ears with official secrets, I’m doing this all for your own good.” Jinhua was naturally moved beyond measure.

Xue Feibai was speechless. This nonsense was so obvious.

Xue Feibai didn't want to watch Du Heng's performance anymore, so he changed the subject: "Old...partner, on the boat that day, how did you think that powdered sugar could catch fire?"

Xue Feibai did not see it with his own eyes. Later, when he heard that this incident was spread in Luoyang City as a miracle, he was scratching his head and wanted to know how Du Heng could do such "unbelievable" things.

"When I was a kid, I was greedy and smeared powdered sugar all over the pastries. Then I accidentally knocked over the candle, and the flames almost set my dough on fire..." Du Hengyun said lightly,

It's hard to imagine that when she was a child, she would be completely different from her indifferent appearance now, just like any other naughty and greedy little girl.

"...I later learned that not only powdered sugar, but also flour, wood powder, coal powder, etc. are all flammable..."

Xue Feibai suppressed his laughter and couldn't help but retort: ​​"You wouldn't have tried everything one by one! Did you almost set your house on fire? Your family members are not allowed to break your legs!"

Du Heng looked at his hilarious expression and said angrily: "Have you forgotten that we were both purified and brought into the palace when we were young? I don't have that much time to do experiments one by one. I just make analogies..."

Xue Feibai's laughter that was still floating in the wind suddenly dried up: Wife, is it really interesting for you to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to yourself?

Xu Shi could tell that the atmosphere between the two was not good, so Jin Hua tried to smooth things over: "Then how did the young master cause the explosion after boarding the black ship?"

"Yes, didn't you yourself say that fire and saltpeter itself will not explode?"

Du Heng narrowed his eyelids: "It certainly won't work alone. But what if it is mixed with flammable substances such as sugar powder, sawdust, and sulfur, which is a poisonous stone medicine? If you add some sparks and a little light, the temperature will naturally be high.

, poisonous gas, poisonous gas, it’s going to explode, it’s going to explode…”

An idea flashed in Xue Feibai's mind: "One sulfur, two nitrates, and three charcoals"! This is a long-standing saying about making black gunpowder. It is said to come from the "Method of Embedding Sulfur in the Alchemy Classic" by Sun Simiao, the king of medicine. Du Heng's rare Chao Xue

Fei Bai showed a "cowardly" expression.

"Then how do you control the amount of exactly one to two to three?"

The expression on Du Heng's face disappeared, and the look he was accustomed to showed again: "What I want is the chaotic effect, and I don't really want to refine black powder. Are you stupid..."

On the contrary, Jin Hua smiled happily: "No wonder the young master is so good at Qinggong. When he landed next to the sugar merchant boss, he bumped into him. At that time, he must have confirmed that the white particles on his body were sugar!"

Du Heng smiled and nodded.

Xue Feibai looked a bit disgusting. Why did he look like a stupid goose?

"Oh, by the way!" Du Heng suddenly remembered something, and she reached out to Xue Feibai on the other horse: "Give me the clothes I wore that day!"

Xue Feibai threw the baggage away unhappily.

Du Heng reached in and didn't know what he was pulling...

"Here, Golden Flower Girl!"

Xue Feibai subconsciously mocked: "You can't give away this kind of junk to others. I don't even know how many hands it has..."

"Sir, how did you know that this was my mother's birthday gift to me!" Jinhua took the silver jewelry from Du Heng's hand with trembling hands and cried uncontrollably again.

Xue Feibai suddenly felt like a chicken being strangled by the neck, his face turned red but he could not pronounce a syllable.

"What I found on that dead head doesn't look like something from our Han family, so I think it might be yours; you've worn it for so many years, so it must be very important to you..."

Jinhua felt mixed with joy and sorrow for a moment: The young master actually went to retrieve this jewelry for himself that day, otherwise his foot injury would not have worsened and he accidentally fell into the water...

"Master! Your kindness to me, Jinhua..."

"It's okay, Miss Jinhua, this is all a trivial matter! Du Heng is such a warm-hearted person, and she is famous among our team! She is the number one warm-hearted person in both our east and west factories combined!"

Xue Feibai was on the side and stopped Jin Hua from saying something like "In this life, eternal life, and in the next life, I will be a slave or a maid, we will tie a grass ring with a ring, and pledge myself to each other." Du Heng went too far.

Right?! Has she ever been so kind to herself? Now she still calls herself a "eunuch" and "cuckolds" herself with others in front of her. Don't be too deceptive.

However, Xue Feibai forced himself to think about it and thought that Du Heng's actions were not entirely due to her chivalry. The main reason was that they still had to use this golden flower girl. Thinking of this, Xue Feibai became mentally balanced.

Some.

But this Du Heng is really amazing. Why didn't we realize before that this dull little wife had such a changeable ability?

Take this incident of rescuing people on the canal, for example. After a brief look, she knew that Jinhua was a girl from Yunnan, and the people on the black boat were their invisible enemies. She made up her mind to save Jinhua, and instantly made up the story that Jinhua was a girl from Yunnan.

Zhao Yigui’s lies are used to confuse the public;

By sniffing and touching, he discovered powdered sugar and fire salt, creating a chaotic situation. Under the cover of the artificial fog, he escaped from the encirclement of a group of big men with swords, guns, axes and sticks, and even managed to rescue him easily.

A weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken.

Even during this period, she hardly tried to make Jinhua happy. Jinhua herself was fascinated by the "eunuch".

Xue Feibai had no doubt that even if Du Heng was a "eunuch" it would not deter Jin Hua from wanting to commit herself to him; but luckily Du Heng was actually a woman, hehehe...
