The monks of Zhao State started refining elixirs with great enthusiasm.
This group of monks heard that the Taoist priests of the Chu State could refine elixirs to the point of exploding furnaces, which meant that gunpowder was about to be born.
But let alone blowing up the furnace, this group of monks could only make one sound.
The earthen pot gave me some face, but it cracked, but the alchemy furnace didn’t give me any face!
This is not only a problem with the gunpowder, but also a problem with the formula. They think it must be caused by the incomplete alchemy skills they obtained from Buddhism.
After all, there are no Taoist priests who can make alchemy in Zhao State now. The State of Zhao did not pay much attention to the Taoist priests who could make alchemy in the past because Buddhism was flourishing in Zhao State.
Now that the Taoist priests have gone to Chu and Zhou, they think of cherishing it. Unfortunately, it is too late now.
Where did the elixirs in the hands of these monks come from?
After the battle, a few imperial doctors were sent to inquire with their noses about the remains left on the battlefield to see what the smell was, and then deduce the recipe for gunpowder.
After the battle on the battlefield, the smell had already faded away when the imperial physician passed by. Only if you could smell it all would there be ghosts!
I don’t know how long these imperial doctors of Zhao State will have to chew on this elixir formula before they can practice the elixir.
The position of Duke is far away...
Although there is hope, it is a false hope.
If Shuzhou captures the capital of Zhao Kingdom and they haven't refined the formula for the elixir, then when Shuzhou comes to arrest their group of alchemy monks, they may be counted as accomplices of Zhao Kingdom's court and then bring down the whole country.
Bad!
At this time, the Zhao court was already in a mess.
Now Zhao State has only enjoyed less than a year of stability, and now Shuzhou is about to use troops against Zhao State.
This made Emperor Zhao extremely panicked.
Of course, there was one person who was more panicked than the Emperor of Zhao, and that was Zhao's Prime Minister Qin.
Now Prime Minister Qin is caught in a deep contradiction.
He used to help Shezhao with work, but now he helps Shuzhou with work.
He can no longer use help, now Shuzhou forces him to do things.
You know, that's Shuzhou!
His Majesty has two close confidants, one is him and the other is Bai Fu.
How did Bai Fu die? Just because when he attacked General Long, he said to put aside the facts, and now he died tragically in Shuzhou.
The evidence of each and every thing he did has now fallen into the hands of Shuzhou, or it can be said that it has fallen into the hands of General Long's only daughter.
Long Bing'er now has evidence that he colluded with She Zhao and coerced him to work for Shuzhou.
If this group of rebels really breaks into the capital, he will definitely die badly!
The body was cut into pieces by five horses, executed late and cut in half!
It can be said that no matter which one, it makes Prime Minister Qin's hair stand on end.
Prime Minister Qin clearly knew that once Shuzhou attacked the capital, he would definitely die!
But he still has to follow Shuzhou's orders, because if he doesn't follow Shuzhou's orders, he will die now!
Although there is an old saying that dying early and dying late is death, but the old saying also says that it is better to live than to die!
It can be said that Emperor Qin is more panicked than Emperor Zhao now.
According to convention, as the king of a country, if Emperor Zhao wants to achieve a smooth transition of power, the rebels will not do anything to the emperor even after they capture the capital. House arrest for a lifetime is the limit.
No matter how big the emperor's fault is, it is nothing more than being deceived by a villain, and he, Qin Hui, is that villain...
The emperor might be able to stay under house arrest until his death, but he, Qin Hui, would definitely be cut to pieces by a thousand swords.
Knowing that there is no way to survive, he is still afraid of death...
It can be said that Prime Minister Qin's heart is now full of conflicting emotions.
Shuzhou City
Long Bing'er's belly was getting bigger day by day, and Xu Qing took good care of Long Bing'er.
It can be said that Long Bing'er's treatment made Xiao Ruxue envious for a while.
She also really wanted to be pampered like this by her husband, and she really wanted to be fed and put to sleep by her husband.
In the past two days, Xiao Ruxue was no longer in the mood to compete with the three little ones for the playground.
Toys are only fun if you have to fight for them. If a person has a bunch of toys but no one is fighting for them, no matter how interesting the toys are, he will not be able to play with them.
The three little ones are in this state now.
There was no one to compete with them for toys such as slides and wooden horses, and the three little ones were also very uninterested.
Xu Qing came over, looked at Xiao Ruxue who was sitting under the slide with her head supported by her hands, and asked: "What's happened to Xue'er in the past two days? Are you unhappy? Tell your husband."
Xiao Ruxue puffed her lips and said coquettishly, "Husband, Xue'er just wants to have a child like sister Bing'er."
Xu Qing touched Xiao Ruxue's head and said comfortingly: "This kind of thing depends on luck, don't rush it. Look at Mingyue and Xuan'er, they don't have children yet, Xue'er shouldn't be anxious either.
"
Xiao Ruxue pouted and said nothing.
Xu Qing faced each other and stretched out his hands to wrap around Xiao Ruxue's slender waist. Xiao Ruxue leaned in Xu Qing's arms with her eyes closed like a porcelain doll.
Xu Qing said, "Xue'er didn't eat much at noon today. Let's go, husband, can you feed Xue'er something to eat?"
Xiao Ruxue immediately said: "Okay."
Xu Qing saw through Xiao Ruxue's thoughts; "Isn't it just that I want my husband to feed me? Xue'er also talked about wanting a child."
Xiao Ruxue immediately shook her head and said: "It's different, it's different. If you don't have children, let your husband feed you, and everyone will laugh at Xue'er. If you have children, let your husband feed you, then you'll be famous...and your husband will also give you ice."
Sister Er is feeding me. It’s not good for Xueer to do this. Xueer, please don’t be a jealous woman.”
Xu Qing flicked Xue'er's head: "Xue'er, don't think wildly. No one will say that Xue'er is a jealous wife. It was the husband who took the initiative to carry Xue'er to eat snacks."
Saying that, Xu Qing picked up Xiao Ruxue and walked to her bedroom. The little girl was thinking a lot now, but she would not have thought like this before.
The little girl from before has finally grown up.
I learned how to be humane and worldly at home.
Sometimes Xu Qing really envies Xiao Ye. He can be coaxed by just one woman, but he has too many women to coax.
Although everything is harmonious, it is inevitable to be secretly unbalanced.
People don’t suffer from scarcity but from inequality. Who doesn’t want her husband to love her more?
Xiao Ruxue was held by Xu Qing, and she retracted her little head into Xu Qing's arms and said, "Husband, husband, sister Mingyue has eaten very little in the past two days. Can you please bring sister Mingyue over for some snacks?"
"
As sisters who share weal and woe, Xiao Ruxue obviously cares about Li Mingyue.
Now the two of them are the closest people in the family.
The kind who can discuss and push Xu Qing down together.
Xu Qing worked hard and was happy.
So Xu Qing nodded in agreement, sent Xiao Ruxue to the room, and then went to the back garden to hug Li Mingyue.
Li Mingyue was still walking in the back garden when a man suddenly came out from behind, picked her up without any explanation and left.
Husband, why is it so sudden...
What do you want to do in broad daylight?
After the experience during the last day, Li Mingyue immediately buried her head in Xu Qing's arms.
He was so quiet that he didn't even dare to say a word.
Xu Qing looked at Li Mingyue who was hugged by his princess and did not dare to say a word, and smiled and said: "Xue'er is waiting for Mingyue in the room."
"During the day...with Xue'er..."
Li Mingyue thought shyly, although it was not impossible, it was so sudden...
