Chapter 795 Because what he poured out was not sorrow, but longing
Baili Moqing looked at her in surprise, even sitting up straighter. Some guesses emerged in his mind, but he couldn't believe it, "You mean..."
Seeing his anxious look, she imitated him and leaned lazily against the car wall, looking mysterious and casual.
"When I asked Yi Meir to rescue the workers, I also asked her to bring out a batch of gunpowder and muskets and hide them in Zhuang Ye's basement."
The only people who knew about this were Yi Meir and the workers. Even the people in Liangce Camp didn't know about it, so Baili Moqing naturally didn't know either.
She moved those things because she was afraid that the explosives were too powerful. If they all exploded, not only would the entire mountain be destroyed, but they themselves might not be able to get out alive!
Secondly, she was just in case. In another world, she learned a saying, "Having a sword in hand and not using it, and having no sword to use are two different things!"
Unexpectedly, today, those things would actually come in handy.
Baili Moqing looked at her, with excitement and confusion in his eyes, but in the end it all turned into gratitude.
"If we really have this batch of weapons, then Natu and Qingzhu will be the best places to use them. By then, the Four-Nation Alliance will no longer exist!"
"Ah He, are you telling the truth? Are those weapons still there?" He still couldn't believe it. "The entire mountain was razed to the ground. If all that gunpowder hadn't exploded, how could there have been such a big commotion and scene?"
"You underestimated the power of those explosives. The scene we've caused is nothing more than the collapse of the smelting plant in the back mountain and the devastation caused by the shattering of rocks. It may seem powerful, but not much explosives were actually used."
"If all the explosives were to explode, I'm afraid none of us would be able to leave that mountain!"
Baili Moqing thought he had tried very hard to overestimate the power of gunpowder, but unexpectedly, he still underestimated it!
"However, time was of the essence and the number of workers was limited. Therefore, when Yi Meir took them to hide in the basement, each person only brought one or two boxes of gunpowder and muskets."
"I didn't ask them to bring bullets. They're easy to make. As long as we have the materials and the space, we can produce enough to shock the enemy in a month."
When they evacuated from Geshan, Yi Meir arrived a few days late. In fact, she went to arrange the batch of firearms.
Shu He also thought about it and continued, "If you really want to use deterrence, then the best location is Qingzhu. There are guards of the National Defense Army there, and the commander of the National Defense Army is your uncle, so you can trust him. There are also Zhenli and Bei... Beiji."
When talking about Beiji, she subconsciously glanced at Baili Moqing, feeling inexplicably guilty. Seeing that there was no change on his face, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qingzhu is the country most enthusiastic about the Quad Alliance. Using them as an example to scare the monkeys will create a deterrent effect!"
As long as Qingzhu is caught off guard and suffers heavy damage by this batch of firearms, Natu next door will definitely be extremely fearful, and may even worry that Tianqi will turn his guns against them after subduing Qingzhu.
By then, I'm afraid that as soon as the war breaks out, Natu will send a letter of peace talks, right?
"As for the timing, it would be best if we did it immediately after Yunlai Country receives the letter of credence. That way, our deterrent effect can be maximized."
"Looking at it this way, there's only about a month left at most."
"But it doesn't matter. We can secretly send those firearms to the National Defense Army first. It would be best if Zhenli and Beiji personally escort them, and we must do it in secret. We must not let anyone know about this!"
In addition to guarding against foreign countries, we must also guard against domestic ones.
"The Emperor is very jealous of those firearms. If he really knew about them, I'm afraid he would do everything he could to summon the skilled craftsmen of Apocalypse to replicate those guns and explosives. By then, I'm afraid the war between the five countries would be truly inevitable!"
After all, who wouldn’t want to be the emperor who will unify the world?
Baili Moqing watched her talking and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of admiration in his heart.
"What's wrong? Was I wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Shu He saw him staring at her blankly and thought there was something wrong with what she said.
Baili Moqing shook his head slightly, a smile of mixed emotions on his face, "Sometimes it's really hard to believe that there is such a magical woman like you in this world!"
He is brave and resourceful, able to command, fight, and analyze the forces of the world so thoroughly... Even the veterans in the army would probably say "admiration" if they saw him, right?
Fortunately, she is his.
Shu He blushed slightly, and then her eyes became more cunning as she said sweetly, "It's my great honor to receive a compliment from Prince Li!"
Is this considered business promotion for them?
Thinking of this, the smile on Shu He's face deepened.
Baili Moqing looked at the brilliant smile, his eyes gleaming. He reached out and pulled Shu He into his arms, "A compliment is a blessing, but wouldn't it be an even greater blessing if we could have close contact?"
"Should I be late..."
"Shut up!" Shu He quickly covered his mouth. This man is becoming less and less aware of the occasion!
Outside the carriage, Nanqi and Xizhu looked at each other silently, and saw the shyness and embarrassment in each other's eyes.
As expected, “If I’m not embarrassed, it’s others who will be embarrassed.” The princess’ words are insightful!
A day later, Shu He and Baili Moqing were busy again and did not see each other until dinner time.
After dinner, Shu He washed up and prepared to rest, but he heard Jiang Dongping coming again and pulling Nan Qi to drink.
But Nanqi was in a good mood these two days and only had two drinks. The rest of the time he just watched Jiang Dongping get drunk with glee.
Shu He was wearing a thin nightgown. The already hot and humid weather was made even more irritating by Jiang Dongping's wailing.
"Jiang Dongping's wedding is the day after tomorrow, why is he still staying at our house every day?" Doesn't he have a home?
Baili Moqing chuckled, "Let him go, it's only a matter of two days."
When it's over, they'll be able to have peace.
Shu He asked him puzzledly, "Didn't they say Jiang Dongping already have evidence against Wu Xiuxin? Why is he still drinking to drown his sorrows every day?"
He glanced outside and chuckled, "Because he wasn't watering sorrow, but longing."
"Didn't you hear that nine out of ten of his sentences were about Zhang Zhirou? I think he just can't wait to find Zhang Zhirou!"
Shu He rolled his eyes silently, "Alright, since he's so devoted to Arou, let's forgive him for all his crying and howling these past few days!"
Baili Moqing chuckled and said nothing more, just looking at the map on the table and thinking deeply.
Shu He couldn't help but feel moved when she saw his serious look.
When this man is serious, he is so handsome that he is "inhuman"!
At this moment, he looked at her, and the moment their gazes met, she hurriedly turned her eyes away, feeling a little guilty.
He smiled faintly, and she panicked even more. She quickly changed the subject and asked, "I heard that the Eleventh Princess wanted to leave the palace today, but was stopped by the Emperor. Do you know what happened?"
