Chapter 86 The conspiracy under the beautiful fireworks
Mu Qingqing likes small animals like this, but they are too small and she doesn’t even dare to hold them.

After the others left, Mu Qingqing asked King Han, "Was there a conscription two years ago?"

She didn't pay attention to what was happening in the country at that time and thought she was missing something.

The one who called me frowned, "No, the country hasn't recruited soldiers for several years. It's impossible to recruit additional soldiers when there's no war."

Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly. There was actually someone recruiting soldiers in the name of the imperial court. She wondered who it could be.

"Let's go to the city."

With a destination in mind, the four of them moved very quickly. After arriving at the county town, Chen Yao found out that there was a fireworks factory in the county town, and the materials needed by the factory were carbon powder and sulfur.

There was a smell of sulfur in the air.

Mu Qingqing observed the local people. They coughed from time to time and had a sallow complexion, which meant they had lung disease.

Mu Qingqing doesn't know how to treat a disease, but she has seen people with symptoms such as tuberculosis.

Mu Qingqing and King Han looked at each other and said, "Chen Yao, take my token and go to the surrounding counties to transfer 500 soldiers."

King Han looked solemn, took out the token and handed it to Chen Yao, "Hurry up, don't delay!"

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Yao didn't dare to delay and rode out of the city gate directly.

King Han took Mu Qingqing and Master Lu to find a hotel.

"Boss, two rooms upstairs!"

"Okay, ahem..."

He continued to cough, "What would the guests like to eat? Waiter, take good care of the guests' horses and carriages, and get some fodder!"

A teenage waiter ran over and swiftly led the horse away.

Master Lu stepped forward and said, "There are several dogs in the carriage, please take good care of them!"

The puppy and the wolf cub are similar in size, but the pure white one is very eye-catching.

While eating, Mu Qingqing felt that the food had a sulfur smell, and she didn't know if it was an illusion.

King Han asked the shop owner about the situation, "Boss, is there a hot spring here? Why is there such a strong smell of sulfur?"

The boss did not dare to neglect them. He could tell at a glance that the people present were not ordinary people, especially the men, who looked very noble and were not the kind of people that could be raised in their county.

"Sir, we do have a hot spring villa here, and a mine that can produce sulfur. Our county can produce a large number of fireworks and sell them all over the country."

Sulfur mines? Mu Qingqing had never heard of it. Sulfur was an important ingredient in making gunpowder, and gunpowder was strictly prohibited for civilian production.

Most sulfur comes from hot springs, but they have never heard of direct mines.

Bang!
A loud noise was heard, and the ground beneath his feet was shaking.

Mu Qingqing's heart trembled. King Han stood still, but Mu Qingqing could clearly see the coldness in his eyes.

The shop owner said casually, "Don't be alarmed, sir. The factory is making fireworks. I guess they are not well made!"

The local county is a major fireworks producer and has been producing large-scale fireworks for several consecutive years and contributing them to the capital.

King Han knew very well that it was not difficult to make gunpowder. The materials and production methods were simple. He was just afraid that the people here had already found a way to make gunpowder, and those people were used by them to mine.

If you erase your household registration quietly and die in battle, such a thing will not be discovered.

Mu Qingqing also thought of this and lowered her head to eat. This matter would be best handled by King Han, so she should just quietly cooperate.

I originally only wanted to stay here for two days, but this matter must be resolved before I can leave.

On the second night, there was a sound of fireworks outside. Colorful fireworks exploded in the sky, and huge fireworks lit up the entire sky.

Prince Han took Mu Qingqing downstairs and saw the waiter clearing the table. "Sir, do you want to watch the fireworks? Today is the fireworks day that happens to come once a month, and they are all fireworks that I have never seen before!"

King Han smiled and said, "Yes, we just heard about it too, so it's a good opportunity to go out and take a look!"

Both of them wore veils, covering their faces tightly.

Sure enough, when I went out, the smell of sulfur in the air was stronger.

There are few trees around the mine and little vegetation on the surface.

The land is severely polluted and vegetables are purchased from surrounding towns and villages.

The fireworks were very loud and beautiful, even better than those in the capital.

The huge noise drowned out other sounds, and King Han often stared in the direction of a mine with a frown on his face.

Mu Qingqing also noticed it, "These guys are so brave!"

When King Han heard the clear voice, he nodded unconsciously, "Using the sound of fireworks to cover up the sound of gunpowder explosion, oh, I want to see this local emperor!"

Isn't that just a local tyrant? To make gunpowder, one must arm one's forces. What else could this be but rebellion?
Mu Qingqing's expression was solemn, "Hanchen, are you sure you can take this place?"

King Han did not say anything. Normal military force would be enough, but if the other side used gunpowder, I am afraid that countless soldiers would be killed or injured.

The troops he asked Chen Yao to dispatch were not enough!

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Master Lu to go and ask Chen Yao to dispatch more troops."

The sound of the fireworks was very loud, and the two of them were very close to each other, like a couple in love.

Mu Qingqing's body was tense, and she kept leaning her head back as she looked at the handsome face that was enlarged in front of her.

Han Chen has very good skin, very fine pores, and light hair on his face. Mu Qingqing envies him.

She really wanted to ask, King Han has been at the border all year round and there is such strong wind and sand, why is he not affected at all.

Mu Qingqing swallowed and her throat moved slightly. King Han naturally heard it and couldn't help but chuckle.

Mu Qingqing's face flushed, she rolled her eyes at him, and then she relaxed.

"It would be great if Master Zhou was here!"

King Han muttered softly, and seeing Mu Qingqing's questioning look, he explained, "Master Zhou knows both medicine and poisons, and can make any kind of poison. If he can make one that can paralyze people after contact, then our battle will be easier."

Mu Qingqing was very curious about Master Zhou. This man was so powerful that he could even teach a disciple like Zhou Xiaoge.

"Do you think Zhou Xiaoge can make poison?"

King Han looked disdainful, "That guy is so young, how much can he know? Master Zhou said that he just became an apprentice, maybe he only learned face reading!"

"Why don't we give it a try? Maybe we can all do it. I'll ask someone from Akatsuki to send a message over!"

Mu Qingqing turned around and was about to leave.

King Han grabbed her and said, "No need, just bring it over when Master Lu goes out later."

Mu Qingqing had seen the Akatsuki organization's logo a long time ago. The Akatsuki organization was developing very fast and now existed in almost all the big cities.

This is especially true in areas surrounding Beijing.

The two watched the fireworks, but their minds were distracted, both thinking about the upcoming battle.

When she returned, Mu Qingqing felt that her head and body were covered with dust, so she quickly asked for water to wash it.

Master Lu went out at night and first delivered a letter to Xiao, asking Zhou Xiaoge to come over and look for Chen Yao at the same time.

There are many towns guarded by soldiers around. The enemy will not go to the nearest places and may collude with local people, so they will definitely bypass them.
