The bamboo slips in Di Yi's hand fell on the table with a thump.

When he stood up, the black figure disappeared like a shadow.

Cangfa saw that the words written on the memorial put down by the emperor were a little messy, and he had unknowingly written the word "Phoenix"...

*

Stone iceberg.

This is a mountain far away from the imperial city, quiet and deserted at night.

Below is a dense forest of spruce trees unique to Xizhou, which looks eerie and desolate.

After passing through the spruce trees, you will reach a towering mountain range.

Yin Lu and Yun Jinghuang landed on the ground.

Yun Jinghuang looked around. There was nothing here and it seemed a little cold.

Although it is summer, there is a chill in the air.

Is it...

While thinking, Yin Lu's eyes fell on her:

"Keep up, don't take a wrong step."

There was a seriousness in his voice that was not to be trifled with.

Yun Jinghuang frowned and his eyes fell on Yin Lu's feet.

Then I saw him walking towards the mountain.

It may seem like normal walking, but the distance each foot steps on the ground seems to be very particular.

Yun Jinghuang couldn’t figure out the rules for the time being, but he vaguely understood them.

There should be a mechanism here.

If you take a wrong step, it is very likely to lead to fatal harm.

When she was trying to figure out the pattern, she had already followed Yin Lu's footsteps and arrived in front of the towering mountain.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

The mountains suddenly made a loud noise, and a door moved open, revealing a path.

The mountain gate is also in the shape of a mountain. Even if you look closely, you probably won’t be able to see anything wrong with it.

As the door opened, an even colder air surged out.

The light inside was also very dim, as if it was a place where ghosts and demons lived.

Yin Lu led Yun Jinghuang in, and the door closed automatically with a "whoosh".

It was only one step away. It was cool outside, but as cold as an ice cave inside.

Soldiers, fully armed with their nostrils uncovered, came up carrying two trays loaded with heavy clothing.

Yin Lu picked up a cloak, put it on Yun Jinghuang, and tied the belt for her.

"Even if it's cold, just bear with it for a while."

His voice surprisingly contained a hint of reminder and an imperceptible tenderness.

Yun Jinghuang discovered that the inside of the cloak was made of bird feathers, which was quite soft and warm.

But the outside is covered with soft iron, which can hardly transmit any temperature.

She vaguely understood something...

Sure enough, Yin Lu also put on the heavy cloak and led her inside.

The entire long and narrow tunnel steps go all the way down, without any flames to be seen, and the lighting is provided by some fluorescent stones embedded in the wall.

Those fluorescent stones were not carefully polished and were all in their original state, densely scattered on the top, left and right of the wall.

Walking in it, I actually felt a bit psychedelic.

The deeper you go, the colder it gets.

Even wearing a cloak, he still couldn't resist the cold.

After going down more than a hundred meters and passing through a long and narrow fluorescent tunnel, the view finally became clear.

It turned out to be a huge ice cellar, covering several hundred square meters!

The walls, the ground, the dome, etc. are all made of thick black ice.

Even the table tops are carved from black ice.

On the black ice wall, there is an ice pit every half meter, with a large amount of fluorescent stones piled up in it.

Those fluorescent stones emit a cool luster, illuminating the entire ice cave, making it look more like an ancient and mysterious ice realm.

Yun Jinghuang was shocked. He never thought that there was such a large ice cellar at the foot of the mountain.

And in that empty space, in front of ice tables, fully armed soldiers were filling them with a yellowish white transparent powder.

They worked in groups of two, and each time they assembled the device, they would soak the hand in a basin of ice water.

Those hands were almost red and swollen from the cold, without any warmth at all.

That's working white phosphorus!

So……

This is Xizhou’s forbidden area for white phosphorus bomb production!

Yin Lu stopped on the platform and glanced at Yun Jinghuang:

"Do you know why I brought you here?"

Yun Jinghuang was also a little confused. She really didn't expect that Yin Lu would bring her to such a confidential place.

Yin Lu turned around and his eyes fell on Yun Jinghuang's face.

"Prince Fengyi, this emperor trusts you more than Emperor Yi."

His voice was faint and seemed to carry a kind of bewitching tone.

Yun Jinghuang looked at his deep and misty eyes, and thought of the night she left Nancang.

That night, Emperor Yi was also busy with the white phosphorus matter, but he never wanted her to participate...

Di Yi would rather be busy alone and exclude her.

Yin Lu took another step towards her, and his thin lips, which were not stained with red, opened slightly:

"King Fengyi, I trust you so much, please don't do anything to betray me."

The words were profound and full of evil magnetism, with a bit of the majesty unique to an emperor, mixed with a bit of unknown confusion and emotion.

His pair of deep, single phoenix eyes also stared straight at her, as if he was looking at a very important person.

Yun Jinghuang looked into his eyes and saw a very complex abyss in them.

In my heart, I feel guilty...

In fact, although she proposed so many strategies to make Xizhou a place where ordinary people can live, she also had the intention of weakening Xizhou's military strength.

However, she also knew that Yin Lu did not bring her here entirely out of trust.

Firstly, with the arrival of Di Yi, Yin Lu should be a little worried that she would join Di Yi to deal with Xizhou.

So he deliberately showed such trust to prick her conscience.

Secondly, I'm afraid there are also problems here that need her to solve...

Yun Jinghuang put aside all her speculations and looked directly into Yin Lu's eyes:

"Don't worry, I said I would do my best to promote the unification of the Dragon Kingdom."

Yin Lu then withdrew her gaze and turned to face the spacious ice palace.

He asked: "Do you know how many white phosphorus bombs can be produced here every day?"

Yun Jinghuang looked over and saw that those soldiers were fully armed. Their armor was thicker than that of the iron cavalry and cold soldiers outside, and their hands were frozen and cold.

This ensures that the white phosphorus will not burn, but it also causes their movements to be very slow and sluggish.

The temperature here is almost minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, and only two hundred soldiers from Xizhou have been selected to withstand this extreme cold environment.

One hundred people work in a group. After filling with white phosphorus, they use a special process to seal it tightly to prevent any air from entering.

"Excluding the defective rate, I'm afraid the daily production is only about 300 to 400."

Yin Lu's expression was slightly solemn. "The number that can actually be used on the battlefield is no more than a hundred per day."

Because white phosphorus is too unstable.

Even if three or four hundred missiles can be produced every day, they will have to cross the sea during transportation and experience the wars and battles, which may sometimes cause spontaneous combustion and damage the soldiers.

Yun Jinghuang closed her eyes and said:

“In fact, this white phosphorus bomb is very inhumane. When used on the battlefield, soldiers can only wait for death.

If we focus on capturing enemy soldiers, what we get in the end is not corpses riddled with holes, but living forces..."

"Prince Fengyi, you are narrow-minded."

Yin Lu looked back at her, a hint of coldness appeared on his thin lips:

"Weapons are optional, but they are a must!"

"The dignity and status of a country always lies only in its weapons."

"Strong strength is always the foundation for a country's survival!"

The words were powerful and awe-inspiring.
