After traveling through time, I became a thorn in the eyes of the sickly prince

"Woof woof woof!" The little black dog ran over, wagging its tail and looking at Muxi in a flattering manner.

"Haha, Dahei still remembers me." Mu Xi happily picked up the little black dog and smoothed its fur, "You've grown taller."

"Hum!" The little black dog wagged its tail, suddenly pricked up its ears, and barked at the distance.

“Woof woof woof, woof woof woof~~”

An Muxi looked back and saw Baili Xiao riding a horse towards him. His head full of pigtails seemed to be flying, and his beard on his chin was covered with white frost.

"Master, you run too fast. I can never catch up with you." He looked aggrieved.

Seeing his servile appearance, Steward Shi immediately showed hostility, "Hey, old man, you are an old subordinate of the Prince of Pingnan, why are you in the Prince's camp?"

Baili Xiao rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction, "Wherever the master is, there I will be. Besides, when we attacked the Chiyan Kingdom, we were also regular soldiers!" He patted his stomach with his big hand and looked at Mu Xi pleadingly, "Master, I'm hungry. I will follow you from now on. Long Jingmo is running around all the time. I don't like the life of wandering around. I don't care about my moral integrity. I have been in prison for several years and I am afraid of starvation."

Dong Feng grabbed Baili Xiao's arm unkindly, "Stay away from my prince and princess, you are now a wanted criminal of the imperial court!"

"What are you doing? I came here to seek refuge with my master. It was my master who saved us from the prison!" Baili Xiao shook off Dongfeng's big palm, took a big step towards Muxi, and pulled Dahei's tail.

Dahei was pulled in pain and wailed loudly, "Woof woof woof, woof woof woof~~"

Mu Xi frowned slightly and looked at Murong Yue, "Your Majesty, Baili Xiao has been with us all the way."

"If Xi'er likes it, you can stay. However, I don't keep idle people here."

Baili Xiao immediately raised three fingers and swore: "Your Majesty, I can make all kinds of mechanisms and secret sentinels, even catapults and bows and arrows. I don't ask for much, just follow Master every day." This princess must be a powerful character who can dig holes and take out meat buns in the middle of winter. You will never go wrong if you follow her.

Murong Yue looked at Mu Xi inquiringly.

Mu Xi put Dahei down, "Prince, I don't like him!"

Upon hearing this, Dongfeng immediately grabbed Baili Xiao by the collar and dragged him out.

Baili Xiao started digging with his hands and feet.

"Master, you can't do this. We agreed in the prison that whoever gives me a roast chicken and a jar of wine will be my master."

Seeing Baili Xiao being carried away like a monkey, everyone burst into laughter.

At noon the next day,

Rong Jingcai rushed back with more than a dozen bags of saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, teapots and iron balls. No one knew what the prince was doing with these things.

Mu Xi opened all the bags, put the explosives into the iron ball according to the gunpowder ratio, melted the candle, poured some gunpowder, rolled a piece of oil-proof paper into a long fuse, stuffed it into the iron ball, and finally sealed it.

Murong Yue and Dong Feng were staring at the iron ball bomb in Mu Xi's hand. They had always heard that this thing was extremely powerful and could knock a horse or even a house to the ground. They didn't expect that their princess knew so much.

Feeling everyone's focused eyes, Mu Xi took out a fire starter and aimed it at the fuse. "Everyone watch, after it is lit, throw it hard at the enemy, and then hide behind the cover. If there is no cover, lie on the ground." After saying that, he threw it hard into the distance and lay on the ground.

Everyone followed Mu Xi's example and lay on the ground, covering their ears, opening their mouths, and leaning their elbows on the ground.

"Bang~" Dust flew, the ground vibrated, and a big hole was blown out on the snow in an instant.

After a long time, a man got up from the ground.

"Oh my god, what the hell is going on? It's so noisy. I just fell asleep."

Everyone was startled. Baili Xiao staggered around, his head and face covered in black dirt. He stared at the big hole that suddenly appeared on the ground, looking as if he had suddenly understood something.

"Princess, I know what you used to dig the tunnel." After saying that, he spat out a mouthful of black soil and ran over quickly.

An Muxi was afraid that he would talk nonsense, so he pulled him aside and lowered his voice, "Ancestor, please don't mention the things about the prison and the underground tunnel. No one knows about this. If the emperor knew about it, he would have to put me in jail. I don't want to stay in jail anymore!"

Baili Xiao spit out two buckets of black snot.

"Then Master can't abandon me!"

"Well, haven't you been following me since yesterday?"

"That won't work. I still have to worry about food," he said, brushing off the black dirt on his braids. "From now on, I will eat whatever my master eats."

"I eat the same food as everyone else, nothing special."

Baili Xiao touched his empty stomach and said, "Master, I'm hungry. I stole two frozen eggs from Butler Shi last night." He acted like a shameless person who wouldn't leave unless you gave him food.

Mu Xi glanced back and took out a chicken leg and two steamed buns from his arms, "Go eat, don't disturb me." If it wasn't for the fact that he was almost blown to death just now, he would never have given him the chicken leg.

"Haha, thank you, Master. Don't worry, Master. I won't tell you that this is a meal you gave me, nor will I tell you anything authentic!" He stuffed the two steamed buns into his arms, and his two mammary glands proliferated rapidly. He stuffed the whole chicken leg into his mouth, pulled hard, and after the drumstick fell to the ground, he jumped away.

Looking at Baili Xiao's asking-for-a-beaten back, Mu Xi sniffed in annoyance and walked towards Murong Yue.

Murong Yue followed Mu Xi's method and mixed all the saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal together in proportion, and asked everyone to put them into the teapot and iron ball.

After making five bags of bombs, he led the convoy forward.

We walked for six days.

When there were only two miles left to reach the abandoned city, there were large numbers of corpses of civilians and defenders on both sides of the road. Sometimes you could see the gnawed leg bones of girls and naked girls. They were all raped and killed.

Looking at those bare leg bones, Mu Xi began to retch, and everyone's hair stood on end. We have always known that wars in ancient times were cruel, but we didn't expect it to reach the point of cannibalism.

Murong Yue glanced at the body of a Da Xia soldier on the roadside with a serious expression. She squatted down, turned over the soldier's body, and found that his flesh and blood were flying all over the place. She raised her big hand and signaled the convoy to stop.

Dongfeng looked at the big hole created by the explosion and said affirmatively: "Your Majesty, they used explosives, the same as ours."

Mu Xi dry-heaved for a while, then ran into the carriage behind him and took out a large pile of bulletproof vests. Then he turned back and carried out another large pile.
