Tuoba Mingge's movements were very fast and very covert. If Shen Yanqing hadn't placed secret guards around him, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.
But his foundation was still too shallow, and the people he placed were only on the edge of Tuoba Mingge, unable to reach things too deep. By the time he found out the information, Tuoba Minge had already finished everything.
Today he entered the palace and discussed with the emperor all morning. All the iron mines in Yurong Mountain had fallen into Tuoba Mingge's hands. Unless they found someone of the same scale to manufacture more weapons to defend against the enemy, they would have no choice but to be beaten passively.
Tuoba Mingge is a radical man, and he can't wait to prove his ability in order to increase the bargaining chip with the prince to win the throne. He will never give up attacking Dayan.
"With General Jiang at the border, it won't be easy for Tuoba Mingge to invade."
He said soothingly, but Jiang Miao's heart did not let go at all.
She had read the original book, so she knew Tuoba Mingge's ambition. In the original book, he killed one hundred thousand soldiers of Dayan once, and the border border almost fell into his hands.
When she was reading the book, she thought the author had deliberately set up such a powerful character to oppose the male protagonist, but when she entered the book, she and Tuoba Mingge became enemies. The more powerful the enemy, the more heartbroken she became.
I'm afraid Tuoba Mingge almost captured Dayan in the original book because of these weapons.
Although the outcome was that he was defeated at the hands of Shen Yanqing, the 100,000 soldiers killed and injured were real, and Jiang Miao could not just watch them die.
She has to think of a way!
Weapons...she has a big weapon.
Jiang Miao is not sure whether to take it out or not...
Shen Yanqing looked at her hesitant look with curiosity in his eyes.
Miaoya always has a lot of ideas. Could it be that she has another idea?
Shen Yanqing was even more curious and asked softly.
Jiang Miao came back to her senses, her eyes still filled with confusion. She murmured a few times, but couldn't help but ask.
"If, I mean if, a weapon that can defeat everything suddenly appears in Dayan, no matter how much iron ore Tuoba Mingge has in his hands, it will only shake the big tree..."
Just thinking about the powerful lethality of those thermal weapons made Jiang Miao panic.
Shen Yanqing looked solemn. Is there such a weapon in the world? He couldn't imagine it, but he would naturally take Jiang Miao's words to heart. Miao Ya must know the existence of that weapon, and he could vaguely understand her hesitation.
"I'm afraid that making this weapon will cause chaos in the world."
Be it Dayan or Xixia, to put it bluntly, they are still in the cold weapon age. She is afraid that Dayan will become unscrupulous and turn the world upside down when he becomes powerful.
After all, when war breaks out, civilians suffer the most.
However, if he didn't take it out, Tuoba Mingge would never let Dayan go due to his ambition.
Shen Yanqing shook her hand and spoke calmly.
"The Emperor is kind and generous by nature, not a cruel person. With supreme power, I believe he can maintain his true intentions. Moreover, even without these, with the iron ore in Tuoba Mingge's hands, sooner or later the world will be in chaos. All Dayan can do is passive defense."
Not fond of fighting, but not afraid of fighting either!
"Um."
Jiang Miao breathed a sigh of relief, gradually letting go of her thoughts and making a decision in her heart.
"Then you go to the palace tomorrow to discuss it with your cousin. I will tell you the method and power of gunpowder tonight..."
Yes, Jiang Miao wants to make gunpowder.
She doesn't understand complicated recipes, but the simplest one is enough to unify the world.
To make such a big killing weapon, they must have the consent of the emperor. Otherwise, if it is leaked in advance, it will arouse the fear of the world. Although Jiang Miao has a good relationship with Zhao Jing, he still does not leave any evidence for himself.
"good."
Shen Yanqing nodded and hugged the woman in his arms tighter.
He should have been worried about these things, but Miao Ya got hurt every time. Shen Yanqing was both distressed and proud of her.
His Miao Ya has the most outstanding talent in the world, and no one can compare with it.
The next day, Shen Yan entered the palace early in the morning.
Before it was time to go to court, Eunuch Jixiang took him directly to the emperor's bedroom.
As a celebrity around the emperor, Shen Yanqing had privileges in the palace.
Zhao Jing had just been helped by the palace servants to change her clothes, and now she was holding a cup of strong tea and sipping slowly.
Ever since he learned the news that Tuoba Mingge had obtained the iron ore yesterday, he had a sense of crisis in his heart. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night. This morning he was even blue under the eyes.
I don’t know why he, as emperor, had such a troubled life. Within a few years of taking the throne, there was never a peaceful day.
Shen Yanqing bowed as soon as he entered the door. Zhao Jing waved his hand to let him get up and rubbed his swollen eyebrows.
"What's the reason for Ziyan coming here so early?"
He looked solemn, afraid of hearing bad news from his mouth again.
The Xixia people at the border are watching with eager eyes. Once they fall, Dayan will be doomed.
"When I return to the emperor, I have something to restrain Tuoba Mingge."
"Oh? What is it?"
Hearing his words, Zhao Jing straightened up suddenly, and two bright lights shot out from his chaotic eyes.
"Could it be that you also found iron ore?"
Shen Yanqing shook his head, and a flash of disappointment flashed in Zhao Jing's eyes. If it wasn't iron ore, he couldn't think of what it could be.
But Shen Yanqing's expression was so confident, so it was definitely not fake.
Zhao Jing regained her energy and listened to what he said.
"Miaoya knows a weapon called gunpowder. It's the size of a brick, and one can blast a mountain. With this gunpowder, no matter how many weapons Tuoba Mingge has, we don't need to be afraid of him.
"gunpowder?"
Zhao Jing was shocked. Is there such a weapon in this world? Why didn't he know?
But thinking that it was Jiang Miao who brought it up again, Zhao Jing felt strangely calm in her heart. She discovered so many things one after another, and one more gunpowder didn't seem to be a surprise.
Shen Yanqing understood his shock. He had lost his composure after listening to Jiang Miao's words last night.
The emergence of gunpowder was definitely a turning point for Dayan. From now on, Xixia and other small countries would bow to Dayan and never dare to have any objections.
Zhao Jing was breathing heavily and his eyes were flashing with excitement. Whoever sat on this throne wanted to rule the world and wield supreme power.
He is no exception!
"When can this gunpowder be made? I can have someone assist Miao Ya throughout the process."
Xixia's speed will not be slow either. They have to find a way to produce gunpowder before Xixia attacks.
"Miaoya said that as long as the materials are complete, she can make it immediately, but..."
Shen Yanqing stared at the man above him with an unprecedented seriousness on his face.
"Miaoya has one condition."
"What are the conditions? Tell me." Zhao Jing urged.
"She wants the emperor to guarantee that this gunpowder will never be used on ordinary people in the future."
She would not stop Zhao Jing's ambition to dominate the world, but she could not just watch his brutal aggression. Gunpowder was a deterrent. Even if she did not take the initiative to attack, she would make other small countries surrender.
