Everyone returned to the camp, and soon a middle-aged man in his forties came over. He looked very simple and honest. When Mu Qingwan mentioned gunpowder, his eyes suddenly widened, and the ecstasy and surprise inside were fully revealed.

undoubtedly.

She told him the general recipe and precautions, and then asked him to take a few soldiers to an open area to conduct experiments.

During dinner, in order to take care of Mu Qingwan's weak body, Helian Moxiao specially ordered the cook to stew a yam and chicken porridge for her, and then paired it with some refreshing and delicious side dishes, including a spicy and sour shredded cabbage dish, which was refreshing and refreshing.

It was particularly to her liking, and she ate a lot without realizing it. Suddenly, she remembered that there was a saying about "sour and spicy cabbage", but this spicy and sour cabbage dish was sour and spicy, and she seemed unable to tell the difference between the baby and the baby in her belly.

Is it male or female.

Seeing that she had a good appetite, Xia Houlie couldn't help but feel better. He smiled and said, "You can eat and sleep. You are indeed a little pig."

Mu Qingwan glared at him and continued eating. Xia Houlie had already finished eating. He put down his chopsticks and watched her eating with relish, with a doting smile on his lips.

After dinner, Xia Houlie took her out for a walk, then went to see the progress of their gunpowder tests, and repeatedly asked them to pay attention to safety, and then he returned to the tent to sleep with peace of mind.

In the middle of the night, the two of them were suddenly awakened by a huge explosion. Mu Qingwan was so frightened that he sat up from the bed. Xia Houlie thought that the pursuers were coming, so he quickly dressed himself and then dressed Mu Qingwan.

, holding her in his arms and walking out of the tent, the two of them discovered that the military tent was already surrounded by black-armored cavalry. Helian Mo Xiao and Leng Jie were standing at the front. Everyone's faces were extremely serious, and they all thought that the pursuers were coming.

.

Xia Houlie was about to speak when another loud roar suddenly came from not far away. Mu Qingwan was overjoyed, tightened her grip on his clothes and said, "I didn't expect Lao Zhangtou to be so good at making gunpowder so quickly. Let's hurry up."

Go and see|see|."

Helian Moxiao glanced at the distance in shock, and saw that the sound was indeed coming from the experimental base. Then he felt relieved and followed Xia Houlie and the others.

Before he even got close, he heard Old Zhangtou's proud laughter. Helian Moxiao laughed and said:

"This old Zhangtou! I know he won't go to bed until he makes gunpowder tonight. Look at how excited he is..."

Mu Qingwan also laughed. Lao Zhangtou's obsessive spirit reminded her of her mentor who was obsessed with archeology in her previous life. As long as she found something she was interested in, she would forget to sleep and eat, often making her teacher half-dead angry.

When Lao Zhang saw that he had woken them up, he couldn't help but smile and scratch his head, "I'm so sorry for waking everyone up."

Helian Moxiao smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and asked him to test his results again for everyone to see.

The soldiers gathered around and lit thousands of torches, which illuminated the entire place as bright as day.

"Then please take a look, this thing is very powerful." Lao Zhangtou said proudly, and ran away without even bothering to wipe the mud that was splashed all over his body.

Everyone was waiting with bated breath, including Mu Qingwan. Although gunpowder was not a new thing to her, after all, she was the first to invent it in this era, so she was very excited.

After waiting for a while, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the distance, causing the surrounding soil to fly up. Everyone raised their hands to wave away the mud, choking and coughing.

A soldier who was also covered in mud ran over and said that Lao Zhangtou asked everyone to come to the front to see the results.

Seeing the small hill that was bombed to the ground, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless. After a long time, there were waves of admiration and admiration from the crowd.

Helian Moxiao stepped forward, took a gunpowder ball, looked at it carefully, and sighed:

"I never thought there was such a powerful thing in the world."

Xia Houlie looked at it, looked down at the woman in his arms who was smiling like a little fox, and said softly:

"Wan, is this something very common in your modern times?"

"Yes, but I didn't expect that I could make it so quickly, because after all, I am not an expert in this field. I just provided some rough ingredients. I can only say that Lao Zhangtou is really a genius!"

Chu Xia heard their conversation and hurriedly came over and said, "Cousin Lie, what is modern? You and Sister Wan seem to be very mysterious."

Mu Qingwan smiled and said nothing. Xia Houlie couldn't explain it clearly to her, so he only said, "That's where your sister Wan used to live."

Chu Xia blinked in confusion and was about to ask again when Helian Moxiao said:

"With this, even if the Fifth Uncle Emperor attacks us, we don't have to be afraid."

Mu Qingwan looked at the excited and noisy emotions of the soldiers around her, calmed down her excitement, looked at Helian Mo Xiao and Xia Houlie and said solemnly:

"I hope you can use this thing with caution and don't cause disaster to any living beings. Otherwise, it will be my fault."

The two knew what she was referring to and nodded solemnly.

Helian Moxiao squeezed the heavy gunpowder ball in his hand and promised:

"Don't worry, we won't use it lightly unless absolutely necessary."

Mu Qingwan nodded, put her arm around Xia Houlie's neck and said, "Go back, I'm a little sleepy."

Xia Houlie hugged her and walked back. Helian Moxiao ordered a few soldiers to stay here to help Lao Zhangtou pack his things, and then led everyone back.

Returning to the military tent, Xia Houxie lay with her and stretched out his hand to take her into his arms.

She rubbed against his chest, closed her eyes and said, "Hey, I just had a dream. I dreamed of ..."

Xia Houlie was obviously stunned for a moment and reached out to touch her belly:

"Two little babies? Did our little guy come to say hello to you so early?"

Mu Qingwan squinted her eyes and rubbed her eyes for comfort, then said: "I don't know if they are our children, but I dreamed that they were playing around me..."

Xia Houlie held his head and slowly stroked her long hair, and asked with interest: "What do the babies look like?"

"Well, I didn't see their faces clearly. I only know that they are a boy and a girl. They are pink and tender. The girl has two braids and is wearing a pink skirt. The boy is wearing a little hat and a tiger head.

shoe……"

Xia Houlie smiled and kissed her, "Those must be our good babies."

As he said that, he shrank back into the quilt, lifted up her clothes, kissed her little pussy one after another, and said softly:

"Little guys, don't be partial. Can you let daddy see what you look like later?"

Mu Qingwan burst out laughing, stroking his hair with her fingers, and said in a soft voice:

"Hey, I find that you are like a big child now, so childish..."

Xia Houlie narrowed his eyes, "Big kid? Do you want to be an aunt again?"

When Mu Qingwan heard this, she immediately remembered what happened last time, her face suddenly started to burn, and she punched him twice. He held her hand, bit her finger, and said with a chuckle:

"Little pig is shy..."

"I hate you, you bully others..."

She said coquettishly and crawled deeper and deeper into his arms. He felt as if his heart was about to melt. His whole body seemed to be floating in the distance, light and warm, and the intoxicating sweetness filled the air one by one. He couldn't help but feel that his heart was about to melt.

He bit her lip lightly and said softly:

"Look, you've become a mother and you're still so clingy..." The tone was so satisfied and proud.

She twisted around in his arms shamelessly, shouting while twisting: "I just want to pester you. Even if I am a grandmother, I will pester you, and I will pester you for the rest of my life..."

Xia Houlie couldn't help but laugh: "Baby, if you keep twisting, you won't have to sleep tonight..."

Mu Qingwan also felt his tense body, her face felt hot, and she didn't dare to move anymore.

Xia Houlie was also afraid of tiring her, so even if he wanted to do it very much, he had to grit his teeth and endure it, and coaxed her to sleep with a few soft words.

He held her in his arms and patted her back gently, the smile on his face gradually fading away.

I wonder if the calmness tonight is the calm before the storm?

Early the next morning, as if to test Xia Houlie's idea, they saw Helian Mo Xiao hurriedly coming over just after they left the military tent.

"What happened?" Mu Qingwan felt something was wrong.

"Helian Hengzhi and Murong Chen's troops are less than thirty miles away from us. The troops of the Fifth Emperor's Uncle from the north have also pressed over. Only three of the soldiers I sent to investigate came back, and they were all seriously injured. Come here

If you are not kind, we can only use gunpowder to blow up the cliff, otherwise we will encounter the Fifth Emperor's soldiers and horses on a narrow road when we go out. Get ready, I will send some people to blow up the cliff!"

Xia Houlie nodded and quickly packed his luggage with Mu Qingwan. The troops quickly gathered and heard dozens of loud rumblings from the south, and soon there were cheers.

"To report to the emperor, the cliff over there really exploded!" The soldiers who came to report the news were obviously very excited.

Helian Moxiao felt a little relieved and walked up with everyone.

Because there was no mountain range to rely on, the thin cliff was quickly blasted to open a passage leading there. Xia Houlie and others quickly passed through the passage, and Helian Moxiao's 10,000 black-armored cavalry were in the cave along the way.

Some gunpowder was buried, and as soon as the pursuers entered the cave, the gunpowder would ignite.

When they reached the exit, they moved a few more boulders to block the entrance of the cave. The sentries sent to Dagu Town also came back. Helian Moxiao's other 90,000 soldiers and horses were also coming here, with a maximum of three

Burning incense can bring them together.

Although he was gradually out of danger, there was no smile on Xia Houlie's face. What he was most worried about was the Beiyan army stationed just one step away from here. There was no reply to the letter he sent Leng Ji to Zhaohe so far.

I don’t know what’s going on in the court.

Mu Qingwan noticed his tense mood and shook his hand comfortingly, "Hey, don't worry, grandma and Zhaohe will be fine..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Helian Moxiao and Leng Ji who were walking in front suddenly stopped.
