"Uncle, they are making gunpowder. Charcoal, bamboo tubes and mined things are all raw materials. These raw materials can be mixed in different proportions to make powerful gunpowder," Shi Miao explained

"How powerful is gunpowder? What can it be used for?" Xiao Zhe asked in confusion.

Shi Miao directly asked the secret guard to take a box of simple bamboo tube grenades, intending to let Xiao Zhe experience the power of thermal weapons for himself.Shi Miao took Xiao Zhe to the warehouse where simple bamboo tube grenades were stored. There are now more than 100 boxes of grenades stored in the warehouse, enough to cope with a large-scale war.After all, cold weapons are of little use in the face of hot weapons.

After Shi Miao exchanged codes with the soldiers guarding the warehouse, he took away a box of grenades and took Xiao Zhe to the other side of the mountain. After getting ready, he said to Xiao Zhe: "Uncle, see what I do first. You can try the power of this grenade later."

"Okay, Miaomiao, you have to be careful," Xiao Zhe said

Shi Miao pulled out the lead core and threw it at a big stone in the waterfall, then quickly retreated. Hearing a loud noise, smoke was everywhere, and the big stone turned into rubble and dissipated.Xiao Zhe looked at the scene in front of him in shock. He was speechless for a while. After a while, he said to Shi Miao: "Miaomiao, did you make this? With it, we, Da Xiao, will be invincible. Unbeatable, hahaha”

"Uncle, grenades are indeed very powerful. The city walls and armies that were difficult to break through in the past will no longer be an obstacle to the Great Xiao Cavalry. However, uncle, I hope that grenades will not be used on a large scale in wars unless necessary. It is too lethal. Damn it, since my uncle has the ambition to dominate the world, he must also have the consciousness to treat the people of other countries as his own subjects. The result of using grenades is too cruel," Shi Miao sincerely pleaded.

"Miaomiao, don't worry. It was my uncle who was too shocked and excited by the power of grenades just now. He understands your intention and will not let killing and death fill the world." Xiao Zhe calmed down and said to Shi Miao seriously.

"Okay, uncle. Miaomiao believes that you will make the best choice for the moment. Now this place will be handed over to uncle. The workers here are all dead soldiers. They took poison to ensure that nothing will go wrong. Every time someone To take away grenades or other items, you need a secret code and a warrant. So far, I have only taken it out once. Some grenades have been hoarded in the library. Uncle, please ask someone to count them after you take over." Shi Miao explained the current situation and planned to Don't worry about things here anymore. After all, the less people know about the grenades, the better.

Xiao Zhe did not plan to transfer more people to take over here, but directly used the people left by Shi Miao, and then arranged for a secret guard to stay outside to strengthen patrols and transmit information.

After coming out of the cave, Xiao Zhe took Shi Miao back to the city. The two of them did not rush back to the palace, but walked around on the street. Although Xiao Zhe felt that the things on the street might not be as exquisite as those in the palace, they could still Choosing and buying is also a kind of fun, so I took Shi Miao into the jewelry store. My Miaomiao has grown up and knows how to love beauty.

"Is the shopkeeper here?" Xiao Zhe asked as he led Shi Miao into the store.

"Welcome to your distinguished guest. I am the shopkeeper of this shop. What are your orders?" The shopkeeper has been doing business for many years, and he can tell at a glance what this customer is wearing. Everything from clothes to jewelry is exquisite. The girls around him and This guest is somewhat similar. Although he is dressed simply, the material is also top-quality Yunluo silk. He should be from a powerful family. He even said politely.

"I want to buy some jewelry for my girl, but I don't know much about it myself, and my child's aunt didn't come out with me. I would like to ask the shopkeeper to recommend some jewelry," Xiao Zhe explained.

Most of the people in the store were elders taking their juniors to choose jewelry, but most of them were women. Xiao Zhe's move attracted a lot of people's attention. Coupled with Xiao Zhe's good appearance, many girls were quietly sizing him up. , the people of the Great Xiao were open, but due to their reputation, no one took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Master, the jewelry on the first floor is not expensive but it is more unique. If you think it is eye-catching, you can pick and choose. There are also on the second floor, mainly sets of beaded hairpins and hairpins. The third floor is customized styles. Master and Miss Do you want to see it from that side first?" the shopkeeper patiently introduced.

"Miaomiao, where do you want to look first?" Xiao Zhe lowered his head and looked at Shi Miao and asked.

"Uncle, let's start from the first floor!" Shi Miao also replied with some interest.

"Okay, just pack whatever you like and don't be polite to uncle." Xiao Zhe touched Miaomiao's head and said

"I won't be polite to uncle. Uncle just waits to pay the bill!" Shi Miao smiled mischievously.

The shopkeeper led Shi Miao to look around on the first floor. Shi Miao picked out two hairpins. Although they were not expensive, the designs were unique. He also picked out a silver lucky bag and planned to give it to Chengyun as a hanging. Then he went up On the second floor, I picked out a pair of emerald hair and face for the queen and a fan pendant for Xiao Zhe. They were in a good mood and asked to pack them away.

"Do you want to buy anything else? I only bought two hairpins for myself, which is too little." Xiao Zhe asked

"No, uncle, I don't like to wear too much jewelry. Besides, I have too much jewelry to wear, and I can't even put it in my dressing box," Shi Miao replied.

Shi Miao was really not kidding. His mother had prepared a lot of jewelry for him, and after entering the palace, her grandmother prepared a lot more. Xiao Zhe also sent jewelry to him first whenever there was any jewelry for women. The queen and the concubines also gave away some from time to time, and their own treasury could hardly hold any more.

Xiao Zhe said with a smile: "It's better if you can't let it go. You've grown so big in a blink of an eye. I don't know what else I can prepare for you."

"Uncle, as long as you are here, I don't have to worry about anything, so you just need to take care of yourself and don't stay up late dealing with government affairs." Shi Miao said and went downstairs first, followed by Xiao Zhe.

The two people paid the bill at the counter and were about to leave when they met Liu Qingyun's family. Liu Qingyun's wife was holding a child in one hand, and Liu Qingyun was protecting her behind her. They had both children. The daughter looked only one or two years younger than Shi Miao. This scene inexplicably made Shi Miao feel eyesore. Xiao Zhe walked in front of Shi Miao and blocked Liu Qingyun's gaze. Only then did Liu Qingyun react. He was about to salute when he was stopped by Xiao Zhe. Xiao Zhe said sarcastically: "I didn't expect it. Mr. Liu has been sent to the countryside for a few years, and he has a son and a daughter. What a blessing! You don’t even know how to salute when you meet someone?"

Liu Qingyun panicked and saluted: "I will be disrespectful in the next moment, but I still hope that the young master will atone for his sins."

Xiao Zhe was about to have a seizure when Shi Miao stopped him and said, "Uncle, it's time for us to go home. I'm afraid my aunt will be worried if we're late."

Xiao Zhe knew that Shi Miao didn't want to have a fit in the street, so he was careful not to tell the truth. After calming down for a while, he said to Liu Qingyun: "Master Liu, please wake up."
