Chapter 94 The Familiar Smell of Gunpowder
"Don't be too entangled. Maybe your second brother has his own considerations. I think he will come to you in person when he is willing to show up. Don't worry too much." Pei Mo's tone was very gentle, which made people feel uncomfortable. The anxiety in Murong Qing's heart gradually calmed down.

"Well, I think the second brother may have his own plans, so let's wait for him to come to me, and let's go back to the general's mansion first."

Murong Qing stood up, said goodbye to his family, and returned to the General's Mansion with Pei Mo.

As a general of a country, he had to deal with a lot of things every day, so Murong Qing naturally didn't want to hold Pei Mo back.

As soon as they got back to the General's Mansion, someone came to Pei Mo to report the news, while Murong Qing went back to his room, still thinking about the encounter with Murong Jiang on the street just now.

But after a while, Ping'er came in with a big plate.

"Ma'am, this is the apple that the general asked me to bring to you." Ping'er was all smiles, happy for Murong Qing from the bottom of his heart, "It is said that this apple is a very precious thing, and I'm afraid you won't be able to find it if you search all over the capital." Find a few that can afford apples."

Murong Qing knew that Ping'er had a pure heart, so she said this not to take the opportunity to show off, but to tell the truth.

In the entire capital city, except for the royal family and nobles, no one could afford apples, and this apple was a special product, and ordinary people did not have the privilege to eat it even if they had a little money.

"As soon as the general got these apples, he asked me to bring them all to Madam. It can be seen that the general has Madam in his heart." Ping'er smiled brighter.

She has served Murong Qing by her side since she was a child, and the two love each other like sisters. Murong Qing can have a good home, and she, a servant girl, is also happy in her heart.

"Looking at your unpromising appearance, isn't it just an apple?" Murong Qing saw Ping'er smiling happily, and gave her a blank look, but his heart was very sweet, and he couldn't help reaching out to pick up an apple.

Although she had eaten a lot of apples in her previous life, it was not too rare, but after all, it was Pei Mo's heart, and for her, this friendship was enough.

"Hurry up, madam," Ping'er seemed a little impatient, "tell me what an apple tastes like after you eat it. I've never eaten it since I was a child."

The two were talking, and Pei Mo had already finished his business, walked into the room, listened to their master and servant talking, and found a few chairs to sit down.

Seeing Ping'er's new look, Murong Qing picked up one and handed it to her: "Here, try it yourself."

Seeing Pei Mo come in, Ping'er first saluted respectfully, then saw Murong Qing handing her the apple, took it with joy on his face, and was about to bring it to his mouth, but heard Murong Qing suddenly yelled.

"Throw away the apple! You can't eat this apple!"

Murong Qing's expression changed drastically, and the apple in his hand had already been placed on the table.

"what?"

Ping'er and Pei Mo were stunned at the same time, and focused their eyes on Murong Qing suspiciously.

Ping'er was about to open his mouth to bite the apple, but at this moment he was also frightened and froze, not knowing what to do.

"What... what's the matter, ma'am, is there something wrong with this apple?"

Murong Qing calmed down, looked at the apple patiently and suspiciously, his eyebrows gradually hardened into a pimple.

"This apple smells of gunpowder, so I can't eat it."

"The smell of gunpowder?"

Pei Mo didn't believe it, and repeated it again, playing with the apple in his hand, looking at it over and over for a long time.

"Why does the apple smell like gunpowder?" Pei Mo said, holding the apple up to his nose and smelling it.

"Are you thinking too much? Why don't I smell anything on this apple?" Pei Mo said calmly, not smelling anything strange on the apple.

At this time, Ping'er's mood also eased, he didn't eat the apple in his hand, he didn't put it away, he looked at Murong Qing with embarrassment.

"No, I'm not talking nonsense. The apple does smell of gunpowder, but it's so mild that you can't smell it."

But Murong Qing's expression is very firm at this time, this matter is indeed a bit unbelievable, but her sense of smell will not deceive her, and she is very sensitive to the smell of gunpowder.

Their family was blown up by this kind of gunpowder in their previous life.

Such a large field was bombed beyond recognition in a blink of an eye, and all the houses were destroyed. The sound of the explosion alone shocked people in a radius of a hundred miles.

The fire that was ignited by the explosion burned for a whole day and night before it gradually extinguished.

Murong Qing's thoughts instantly returned to that night.

"It's terrible, it's really terrible..." She suddenly felt that her head started to hurt, she couldn't help reaching out her hand, supported her temple, and rubbed it gently.

That night, all the family members and relatives were unprepared, and they were blown up beyond recognition by the explosives. When the scene was finally inspected, many people had been burned to black, and only a human figure could be vaguely seen. The scene was horrible.

"boom!"

The sound of explosives exploding echoed in Murong Qing's mind in an instant, and the cries of the servants and the painful wails drilled into her mind like bugs, gnawing at every nerve of her body, leaving her without a trace. peaceful.

"What's wrong with you? Are you a little uncomfortable?"

Pei Mo noticed that Murong Qing's eyes were slack, his brows were tightly locked together, his eyes were slightly closed, his expression seemed to be in pain, he was very puzzled in his heart, and he had already moved over with a gentle tone.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about gunpowder, let's have it if you say so," Pei Mo thought it was because Murong Qing had an argument with Murong Qing about the smell of gunpowder just now, and Murong Qing was like this, so he quickly let go , "If you feel uncomfortable, I will help you to bed and rest."

The woman's mind was still filled with the explosion and fire, her whole body was dizzy, and her mind was as heavy as a dollar.

The strong mental stimulation made her feel uncomfortable all over, and her stomach began to churn. She almost vomited up a little food just now.

"Madam, lie on the bed and rest for a while." At this moment, Ping'er also saw that something was wrong with Murong Qing, and helped her onto the bed with Pei Mo.

"If you're really uncomfortable, I'll stay here to take care of you tonight." Pei Mo's tone was very concerned.

Murong Qing slowly opened his eyes, and seeing that handsome and distinct face beside him, his eyes were full of concern, and his heart felt very warm.

"No need, I'm much better now, you still have a lot of things to deal with, you should take a good rest." Murong Qing had already made up his mind to investigate this matter clearly, so he insisted not to let Pei Mo stay here.

"Maybe it's good to sleep for a night tonight, the general doesn't have to worry about me too much."

The woman lying on the bed smiled sweetly, a bit coquettish of a sickly beauty, Pei Mo was stunned for a moment.
