Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

Chapter 224 Gunpowder

When Song Ye heard this, he was slightly stunned and frowned, "Did something happen?"

Xiao Lengyue pondered for a while, "The Hidden Moon Palace sent me information that my uncle ordered an increase in taxes starting next year."

When these words came out, Song Ye was shocked and asked, "He's going to increase taxes?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Lengyue rubbed his brows and said, "Yeah, you said, he is looking for death."

After Song Ye heard the news, he understood Xiao Lengyue's plan and asked, "Your method is the fastest, but it is also very dangerous.

If the barbarians attack and the border cities are lost, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xiao Lengyue nodded when she heard this, “So, I miss you and take the Song family army to the border.

Before my grandparents arrive, help me guard the border."

Song Ye nodded, "Okay, when do we leave?"

"It won't be too late to leave after we get news from the barbarians."

Song Ye nodded, "Okay, then I'll let someone go first."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Okay, during this time, I can make you a secret weapon."

Speaking of this, Xiao Lengyue propped himself up and asked, "General Song, what weapons with greater lethality will you use on the battlefield?"

Song Ye thought of her being in the imperial manor, so he didn't think much about it and said, "The most commonly used weapon on the battlefield is the bow and arrow. The crossbows and catapults we made before are not used on the battlefield."

"Then I'll give you the blueprints."

Song Ye nodded, "Okay."

Seeing how well behaved he was, Xiao Lengyue thought of the reward he had just mentioned, and asked curiously, "General Song, what reward did you say you wanted?"

When Song Ye heard this, his breathing stagnated, he coughed lightly, and quickly changed the subject: "Nothing, go to sleep."

Song Ye's attitude made Xiao Lengyue even more curious. She pressed on him and asked, "What do you want?"

Song Ye felt the softness on his body, suddenly pressed Xiao Lengyue under him, and kissed those soft lips.

When Xiao Lengyue could no longer breathe, he stopped and said hoarsely: "I want my own bloodline."

Xiao Lengyue didn't expect that this is what Song Ye wanted. She looked at Song Ye in a daze and said hoarsely, "This depends on how powerful General Song is."

After saying this, Xiao Lengyue no longer had time to tease him.

The next day, when Xiao Lengyue got up, sunlight shone through the window. She touched the bedside and saw that there was no one there, then she opened her eyes.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Xiao Lengyue sat up, washed up and went downstairs, and saw Song Ye busy in the kitchen.

After seeing her coming down, he said softly, "It's time to eat."

Xiao Lengyue looked at the food on the table, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "How do you know that these are all the food I like to eat?"

"I asked my second brother, and he told me."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she laughed, took a bite, and nodded.

I don’t know if it was because she was too hungry or because the food was delicious, but Xiao Lengyue actually ate three bowls in the end.

After dinner, the two started to work again.

At this moment, Song Ye was writing letters to the Song family troops in various places, asking them to gradually move towards the border.

Xiao Lengyue told Leng Shaobin and Old Tutor Murong about what happened here. Seeing that they had no objection, she turned around and went to find Leng Haoxuan.

"Brother, can you buy bombs there?"

Leng Haoxuan shook his head when he heard this, "Xiao Yueyue, this can't be bought."

"Can I buy saltpeter and sulfur?"

When Xiao Lengyue said this, Leng Haoxuan was shocked and said, "Xiao Yueyue, you don't want to make gunpowder yourself, do you?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Well, if I can't buy it, I'll make it myself."

There were still some guns in her space, but she didn't want to take them out unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, guns are not like food; once you use them, they are gone.

Leng Haoxuan glanced at the system and saw that they were for sale, so he bought some first and looked at Xiao Lengyue, "Are these enough?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Let's do this for now. I'll adjust the ratio and then see if I can find sulfur and saltpeter."

Ever since Xiao Lengyue and Leng Haoxuan got the saltpeter and sulfur, they locked themselves in the room and started to debug.

Finally, one morning, Xiao Lengyue finally got it done.

She happily came out with the things, called Leng Shaobin and Song Ye and others, brought them to the open space, and looked at Song Ye.

"Light this up, and once it's lit, run away."

When Song Ye heard this, he nodded, took the gunpowder prepared by Xiao Lengyue, went to the open space, lit it with fire, and quickly used his lightness skills to rush back.

Then, everyone smelled a very stinky smell, and then, with a bang, a huge cloud of dust was raised instantly.

Everyone was startled when they heard the sound. They looked at the dust in front of them with disbelief in their eyes.

After all the dust disappeared, everyone saw that a big hole had appeared where the thing had been placed.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Xiao Lengyue. They couldn't imagine that the tiny thing just now was so powerful.

Old Master Murong looked at Xiao Lengyue in shock and asked, "Your Highness, are you going to use this on the battlefield?"

Xiao Lengyue did not deny it, and said in a deep voice: "I hope I won't need it."

After hearing this, everyone understood what Xiao Lengyue meant. Since ancient times, there have been sacrifices in wars. The thing in front of them is very powerful. For the Yuan Dynasty, it is a secret weapon.

After the gunpowder was tested and no problems were found, Xiao Lengyue looked at his eldest brother. After handing over the task of finding saltpeter and sulfur to him, Xiao Lengyue became free again.

One day, she had nothing to do, so she came to the Song family. As soon as she entered, Old Lady Song and Sister-in-law Song were in the yard, sewing clothes.

When Old Lady Song saw Xiao Lengyue coming, she quickly stood up and said, "Xiaoyue, why are you here?

Come in and sit down."

"I'm not busy today, so I'm back."

When Mrs. Song heard this, she laughed and said, "Mother knew you were busy, so she didn't bother you."

Xiao Lengyue guessed that they all knew her identity and just smiled.

After sitting down, he looked at the clothes in their hands and asked curiously, "What is this?"

When Old Lady Song and Sister-in-law Song heard her ask, they laughed and said, "This is for you."

Xiao Lengyue looked at the small clothes in their hands and couldn't help but pick them up and take a look.

Only then did I realize that the clothes were made of pure cotton and sewn together stitch by stitch.

The location of the interface is also very well handled, and it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all when touched.

Looking at the small piece of clothing, Xiao Lengyue coughed lightly and looked at Old Lady Song, "Mom, it's too early to do it now."
