Chapter 87 Gunpowder

Just when Ouyang Yuling's hatred for Nanyang reached its peak, Liu Tong, who was sent by Ouyang Yuling to carry out a secret mission, came back and brought the method of preparing gunpowder. After reading the book written by Liu Tong, Ouyang Yuling was delighted Zisheng hurriedly called Huangfu Jinyu into the palace to discuss the battle plan with Nanyang.

"When I was traveling outside the palace, I once met a Taoist priest who made alchemy. He gave me a prescription, saying that it could help me defeat the enemy on the battlefield. At that time, I didn't take it seriously. Until later, when I confronted King Jin It was only when I was passive that I remembered it. Therefore, after I ascended the throne, I ordered Liu Tong to lead the secret guards to secretly develop this prescription. Sure enough, the Taoist priests will not deceive me."

"What kind of prescription?" Huangfu Jinyu was curious, what kind of miraculous prescription for defeating the enemy could make Ouyang Yuling so happy, but she was faintly worried. Taoist priests, prescriptions, defeating the enemy, this experience was very similar to her own. It made Huangfu Jinyu feel uneasy.

Ouyang Yuling didn't answer right away, but handed Huangfu Jinyu the brochure and drawings brought by Liu Tong. After Huangfu Jinyu looked at it for a while, he said slowly, "By changing the ratio of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, It can be made into different gunpowder, poured into an iron gunpowder tank, ignited the fuse, and then it will burn and explode, and the killing range can reach a distance of one foot.”

"Why do you do this?" Huangfu Jinyu asked knowingly, her voice trembling.He knows that sulfur and saltpeter can be made into explosives. When he led troops to fight, a mysterious Taoist priest told him about this method, but he thought that this thing was extremely lethal, and he couldn't bear the loss of life, so he drove away the Taoist priest. He refused to adopt it, but he didn't expect that Taoist to find Ling'er, and Ling'er ordered someone to develop it.Did she want to use it against Nanyang?

Ouyang Yuling raised his head and looked out of the hall, and said decisively: "Take Nanyang!"

Ouyang Yuling's simple answer shocked Huangfu Jinyu's heart, "Ling'er, didn't you say that you don't want to fight in the past few years?" Ling, why haven't I seen you for a few days, and you are so burning with words that you want to go to war.

"At that time, it was because there was no certainty of winning. It's different now. This time, we will definitely be able to take down Nanyang in one fell swoop and wipe out the Nanyang dog thieves." prescription.

Huangfu Jinyu was terrified when he heard this, "Ling'er, this is absolutely impossible, the current war is already cruel enough, if gunpowder is used, how many soldiers will die, how many homes will be destroyed, and how many innocent people will suffer? "

"Why not? War is inherently cruel, but if this cruelty can be exchanged for the unification of the country, what does it matter if the world is permanent?"

"Then do you know how many people will die?"

"I know, but I have to."

"The people suffered heavy casualties, and the world was riddled with holes. Is such a situation what you want? Even if you win, you spend a year and a half to take over the world, but it will take decades or even longer to make up for the damage caused by the war." Trauma, do you think you've won like this?"

Ouyang Yuling was full of anticipation to call Baiyu to come to discuss the battle plan. She thought that her Baiyu should support her, but she didn't expect that when he opened his mouth, he objected and questioned him, and gave himself a slap in the face. This made Ouyang Yuling Extremely displeased, she said in a deep voice: "Baiyu, I came to you to share my joy with you and to discuss with you how to deal with Nanyang, not to hear you objecting to me, and you are talking to those I am in the court like this. What's the difference between haters?"

"I just want to remind you that I don't want you to do something wrong."

"Wrong thing? Bai Yu, I regained Nanyang and unified the world. It's a good thing, not a wrong thing!"

"But your method is wrong, you shouldn't waste the lives of soldiers and common people."

"Haha, if there are no casualties, then it's not a war. I want to take back Nanyang. What's wrong with me dealing with the enemy? Do you want to talk about benevolence and morality when the two armies are at war? Bai Yu, I'm not you, a gentleman with a benevolent heart Ren Shu, I am the Queen of Dayang, I have to do what I should do when I sit in this seat."

"Even if you lose your kind heart, do you not hesitate? I still remember that you once told me that you fought for the throne to give the people a better life, but you used gunpowder to launch such a war of mass destruction. Is it to give the people a better life? Linger, what is your original intention? Have you changed?"

"What's wrong with me changing according to the situation, there is no fixed idea in this world."

Ouyang Yuling's words were like a sharp arrow piercing Huangfu Jinyu's heart. It seemed that the things he had been afraid of facing would be hard to escape. "Including your feelings for me?" Huangfu Jinyu asked, with anticipation and fear.

In fact, at this time, the answer Huangfu Jinyu was looking forward to might be just a simple "no", and nothing more than that would be able to eliminate the long-standing fear and anxiety in her heart. Slowly falling while waiting, after waiting for a while without getting a response, Huangfu Jinyu turned and walked away in complete disappointment.

Feelings, Ouyang Yuling made her heart ache, and the fact of her infertility hurt her again. The more she cherished this relationship, the more she would not allow the slightest lack. She looked down at her stomach, and her eyes were slightly red , She asked herself that her feelings for Bai Yu had never changed, but now she began to dislike her infertile self, "So..." Ouyang Yuling asked with tears in her eyes, "Do you regret helping me win the throne?"

Hearing this, Huangfu Jinyu stopped in his tracks. He didn't answer. His always gentle face was as cold as ice skates at the moment. The love he devoted himself to, the obsession he held in his heart for eternity, was actually nothing in Ouyang Yuling's eyes. Momentarily changeable, such as an idea, a thought.Oh, it's ridiculous, he originally placed high hopes on this love, hoping that this love would calm the hatred and resentment in Ouyang Yuling's heart, and change the hostile situation between Beiting and Nanyang, but it turned out that this love was so insignificant that it was nothing. Let alone how to change the status quo.Oh, I was too naive after all.

Huangfu Jinyu raised his head and smiled wryly. He felt that his heart had already fallen to the bottom, "I just don't think it should be like this."

Looking at the back of Huangfu Jinyu leaving coldly, Ouyang Yuling instinctively felt that something in her heart had been ripped off, and it was very painful.That's right, it shouldn't be like this. I thought you would understand and support me, but it turns out you don't.

Huangfu Jinyu left quickly, without staying or looking back, Ouyang Yuling had completely broken his heart.Ouyang Yuling heard Huangfu Jinyu's footsteps leaving resolutely, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Bai Yu, I want to regain Nanyang, not because I want to be able to control the world with you without any worries.I really want to spend this life with you for you, but you doubt me and don't understand me?

Huangfu Jinyu was distracted, walking in a hurry, and accidentally collided with a maid holding a medicine, the beating medicine juice left a few puddles of black on Huangfu Jinyu's white fur.

"Slaves deserve to die, King Anyang forgives the crime." The maid panicked and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Seeing the pale and trembling court lady under her feet, Huangfu Jinyu thought of the common people and soldiers who were as humble as this court lady, "it is another humble life." He sighed, the superior has the power of life and death, and wants to seize Their humble lives are too easy, but can the superiors ignore human lives?Even a humble life has its preciousness as a human being.Huangfu Jinyu stretched out his hand to help the maid under her feet, "It's all right, get up. What kind of medicine is this?"

The maid was still in panic, she replied tremblingly: "It is the doctor Hu who adjusted the tonic for Her Majesty's body." The maid was terrified, she not only splashed King Anyang, but also overturned the medicine of Her Majesty.

"Then let Dr. Hu make a copy, and say that I overturned this one."

Huangfu Jinyu returned to Qingya Garden with a heavy face.

"You're finally back?" Li Sihan, who was waiting in the front hall, saw Huangfu Jinyu coming in a hurry, and went out to welcome her. She had something important to tell Huangfu Jinyu, but his expression was ugly, and he swallowed the words again . "What's the matter? You look so ugly, are you okay? Is something uncomfortable?" Li Sihan said as he was about to grab Huangfu Jinyu's pulse.

"It's okay." Huangfu Jinyu avoided Li Sihan's hand and said, "We had a fight."

"What? Why are you arguing? Aren't you guys doing well recently?" Li Sihan was shocked. She knew that Huangfu Jinyu and Ouyang Yuling's relationship was very good recently. Didn't Ouyang Yuling go to the royal enclosure with Huangfu Jinyu tomorrow? Accompanying Dongshou, Huangfu Jinyu would not even go home because of Ouyang Yuling's New Year's Eve, but these two people, why are they so awkward?

"Because...forget it, it's nothing, don't worry." Huangfu Jinyu was upset and didn't want to say more.

"Why do you have such a strong smell of medicine? It seems to be..." Li Sihan wrinkled his nose and asked.

"I accidentally bumped into Linger's medicine."

"Ouyang Yuling's medicine?"

"Hmm, is there a problem?" "No, it's not a problem, I'm just curious about what kind of medicine she takes properly?"

"It's a tonic for regulating the body."

"Oh." Li Sihan was thoughtful, and at this moment she noticed a few brown stains on Huangfu Jinyu's white fur, "It must be the stain from the medicine, replace it, let someone dispose of it."

Huangfu Jinyu turned and entered the room, Li Sihan took his clothes and walked away, walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and walked back again, "All the hidden guards in the garden have withdrawn."

Huangfu Jinyu paused for a moment when he heard the words, the concubine mother really wouldn't let her do whatever she wanted, he replied: "I know."

Seeing Huangfu Jinyu's tired expression, Li Sihan didn't say any more, just replied, "You should have a good rest" and left.

The annual winter hunting is here. Over the years, the emperor of Dayang would lead his cronies and guards to hunt in the royal enclosure, but this year's winter hunting is probably the simplest and most hasty in the past ten years.One is that the preparations for the winter hunting were late, and many of them were too late to carry out, and it was not easy to carry out. Second, Ouyang Yuling ordered everything to be kept simple. As for the accompanying personnel, except for Anyang Wang Baiyu and the commander of the Imperial Guard Cao Haiguang, she only brought Among the ten new Jinshi, he was the one who could ride and shoot.Therefore, this year's winter hunting was ready in just five days. You must know that the winter hunting in the past was huge, and the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Guard often had to prepare one or two months in advance.

Although Huangfu Jinyu and Ouyang Yuling had a very unpleasant quarrel the day before, on the day of winter hunting, Huangfu Jinyu set off with Ouyang Yuling's team early on. Ouyang Yuling had the idea of ​​attacking Nanyang with gunpowder.It's just that along the way, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the two people who were supposed to be smiling, actually didn't say a word, Ouyang Yuling ignored Huangfu Jinyu who rode at the front first, and Huangfu Jinyu didn't intend to catch up.Cao Haiguang, who was accompanying him, was dumbfounded when he saw it. You must know that on the day when Her Majesty returned to the palace, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she kept pace with Mr. Bai in a high-profile way. Why now?Seeing that the faces of the two were not quite right, Cao Haiguang had no choice but to follow behind silently.

Arriving at the royal enclosure, after a short rest, Her Majesty the Queen shouted, and the hunting began, and she rode her horse and whipped the crowd behind her. No matter how you looked at it, they were not here to hunt, but more to vent their anger, which annoyed the accompanying people looked at each other.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Haiguang shouted from behind. Her Majesty's angry riding and shooting is too dangerous.

However, Ouyang Yuling ignored Cao Haiguang and rushed forward. Cao Haiguang had no choice but to look at Huangfu Jinyu beside him with pleading eyes, "Master Bai, look."

Huangfu Jinyu sighed lightly, and rode his horse to catch up.After chasing for a while, he finally caught up with Ouyang Yuling. Bai Yu rode his horse across Ouyang Yuling's horse and stopped her, "Linger, I have something to tell you."

"I'm here to hunt today, and I don't want to listen to your preaching." Ouyang Yuling turned her head away, thinking that Bai Yu's resolute departure yesterday also hurt her deeply.

"Linger!"

At this time Cao Haiguang also caught up, rode his horse to a stop not far away, and watched the two people in front worriedly. He couldn't hear what Ouyang Yuling and Huangfu Jinyu said, but from the expressions of the two, he knew , this conversation was not pleasant.

"Your Majesty and Mr. Bai, what's the matter?" Cao Haiguang was puzzled. As soon as the words came, he saw Ouyang Yuling galloping again, but Bai Yu didn't catch up.

Cao Haiguang hurried to catch up, passed by Huangfu Jinyu, and complained, "Master Bai, why are you doing this?" However, seeing that Huangfu Jinyu seemed unmoved, he gave up the enlightenment, shook his head, and rode his horse towards Ouyang Yu Ling chased after him, "Your Majesty!"

Huangfu Jinyu rode his horse to stand still, lowered his head and grasped the rein tightly, and remained silent.
