Aifei, I won't let go

Chapter 120 The smoke of gunpowder is spreading (2)

In mid-to-late September, the development of gunpowder had achieved initial success. Ouyang Mingge, as the main supervisor of the development of gunpowder, naturally contributed a lot.Therefore, on the second day, Ouyang Mingquan issued a decree in the court to make him Prince Xiang, and ordered him to continue to be in charge of the research and development of gunpowder.

However, Mu Yun became more and more anxious. She didn't know how Ouyang Mingquan discovered the composition of gunpowder.But every time she saw his excited expression, Mu Yun felt a little disappointed.This battle, which has dragged on until now, is finally about to start.

Shangguan Muchen still hasn't found any news about Yan Shan.Mu Haoran and Yin Luo are often restless, and this is what makes Mu Yun more worried.What if they can't hold their breath when the time comes.

When he, Shangguan Muchen, mentioned this matter, Shangguan Muchen only said one sentence to her every time, "Everything is fine, don't read, don't worry."

Mu Yun frowned, then sighed lightly, put the letter away, put it in a small box, and suppressed all uneasy emotions.

At the beginning of October, Ouyang Mingquan came to Qingxuan Palace again. This time he gave her the news that the gunpowder had been successfully developed. In the near future, they might be able to raise troops and start attacking the state of Zhou. The smoke of a battle was about to fill the air.

Mu Yun said a little shyly, "I hope everything is as you said, and there will be no mistakes."

Ouyang Mingquan scratched his nose lightly with a smile and said, "You are always so unfounded, trust me and Shangguan Muchen too. No matter what this time, we can't lose. Let Xinghen be proud It’s been so long, it’s time for him to suffer a little bit.”

Mu Yun nodded, still feeling a little uneasy.Suddenly she asked, "Ouyang Mingquan, if you conquer Zhou, will you ignore the original agreement for your own selfish desire?"

Mu Yun's question was really inappropriate, because she didn't trust her, and what she asked really hurt Ouyang Mingquan's heart, so that later, Mu Yun would regret why she asked him such a sentence in the first place.

Hearing her question, Ouyang Mingquan was taken aback for a moment, with a hurt look in his dark eyes.Ouyang Mingge also asked this question.He said, second brother, if we make gunpowder, we don't need to join forces with Shangguan Muchen, so can we break the contract after conquering the state of Zhou?

Break the contract?Heh, this is of course excellent, as long as he ignores the original agreement, he will definitely become the first emperor in history to unify the world.However, Ouyang Mingquan at that time refused without hesitation, just because, for the sake of Mu Yun, he couldn't do that either.He was hated by her for a lifetime, and then he was forgotten for a thousand years.So, he really didn't want to be hated by her for the rest of his life.

It's been a long time since Ouyang Mingquan answered, Mu Yun became a little anxious, she called out cautiously, "Ouyang Mingquan?"

Ouyang Mingquan took a deep breath, and asked back, "Yun'er, you ask like that, but because you don't believe me?"

Mu Yun was startled, not knowing how to answer.She began to wonder if she had asked the wrong question. Ouyang Mingquan didn't look like a person who broke his promise.However, her fear and mistrust were not without reason.After all, throughout the ages, no emperor would be willing to give up such an opportunity to unify the world.

After a long time, Ouyang Mingquan said in a deep voice, "I won't do this, at least for you, I won't..." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.Mu Yun paused in her heart, took two steps to catch up, and wanted to stop him and say, "I'm sorry." But in the end, she stopped in place, unable to shout or speak.

As the weather turned autumn, Mu Yun was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, when Ouyang Mingge also came.This person, who had never stepped into the Qingxuan Palace since she entered the palace, now came, which surprised Mu Yun.

After almost a month, Ouyang Mingge still didn't have a good impression of Mu Yun. Mu Yun's expression was always stinky, as if he dismissed her.

The first thing he said when he saw Mu Yun was, "Second brother is so kind to you, why have you been indifferent and asked him those questions, Mu Yun, do you really care about second brother?"

Mu Yun was stunned and looked at Ouyang Mingge suspiciously.And Ouyang Mingge's heart was obviously very angry, and the way he looked at Mu Yun was almost bursting into flames.

"Prince Xiang, what does this mean? Mu Yun didn't quite understand." In fact, Mu Yun really didn't understand, she thought she had never provoked Ouyang Mingquan, why Ouyang Mingge seemed to come to her It's the same as reckoning.

"You, you still pretend not to understand!" Ouyang Mingge pointed at Mu Yun's nose and grinned angrily, "Second brother is so stupid to fall in love with a heartless woman." Mu Yun frowned, still I don't understand why Ouyang Mingge said this suddenly.

Ouyang Mingge glared at Mu Yun, stomped his feet and gritted his teeth and asked straight to the point, "I'll just ask the second brother today, do you like the second brother at all?!"

Mu Yun was startled and lowered her eyes.She didn't expect that Ouyang Mingge came to ask him about it.

"Prince Xiang, matters of affection cannot be forced."

Hearing this, Ouyang Mingge was a little unhappy. He scolded angrily, "What do you mean by that? Is it possible that my second brother is not good enough for you? He is the king of a country, who would want to squeeze his head out and follow him?" My second brother, why can't you be alone?"

Mu Yun smiled lightly, and said helplessly, "Prince Xiang, when you have someone you like, you will know why."

In Mu Yun's view, Ouyang Mingge is like a child now, who doesn't understand anything.Therefore, even if she talked too much, he would probably just think that his second brother is very good, and Mu Yun has no reason not to like Ouyang Mingquan.

Ouyang Mingge was a little annoyed, he moved his lips, and wanted to scold Mu Yun for writing, but he suddenly withered, and he murmured in a low voice, "Since I was young, my second brother said, when I grow up, He wants to marry a woman. At that time, I didn't know who he was talking about, but now I know. The person the second brother said has always been you. If possible, I hope you can give my second brother a chance……"

After hearing this, Mu Yun was a little shocked. She remembered that the first time she met Ouyang Mingquan was when she was nine years old.At that time, she was dressed as a man.And the two didn't have much contact with each other at that time. Could it be that Ouyang Mingquan kept seeing that he was a daughter at that time, and fell in love with her at first sight?
Mu Yun frowned, thinking more and more confused, and when she came to her senses, Ouyang Mingge was no longer there.

It's good to be irritable.Mu Yun sighed lowly, feeling quite helpless.

Suddenly, she put away her thoughts and looked at the sky, only to see dark clouds in the sky, as if it was going to rain heavily.She sighed and murmured, it seems that the weather is going to change.

It was night, heavy rain fell suddenly, and thunder sounded from time to time.The maid next to her sighed, "It rains too frequently this year, and it always rains heavily accompanied by the sound of thunder."

"Yeah, it's really frequent." Mu Yun sighed lowly, her brows furrowed.

"Ms. Mu, do you want to sleep now?"

Mu Yun shook her head and said, "Put on my opinion coat, I'm going to find the emperor."

The palace maid frowned and asked, "Miss Mu, are you talking about now? It's raining heavily outside, why don't you look for the emperor tomorrow?"

"No, just today." Mu Yun looked a little anxious. If she remembered correctly, Shangguan Mu Chen once said in a letter that once the gunpowder was successfully developed, it was time for them to start shooting.

Shangguan Mu Chen and the others have already gambled everything. Mu Yun doesn't know what effect those thousands of hidden guards will play, but if they are used well, they may succeed.

To cover up by surprise.This is the best countermeasure they thought of at the beginning.This time, they must disintegrate all the inner defenses of Xinghen.And Xinghen will not understand that one day, he will be able to step into the gate of hell again and experience the pain that he has wanted to forget for more than ten years.Of course, this is all just a later story.

Mu Yun's heart was a little confused, she walked a few steps, the maid had already put her coat on her body and said, "Miss Mu, I don't know why you are so eager to see the emperor, but the emperor is discussing matters at this time of the day, Do you want to wait for the emperor to finish the discussion before we go over? You know, the emperor has kept you from being known by outsiders, but he has kept it a secret for a long time."

Mu Yun frowned, and said after pondering, "It's okay, when we get there, I'm asking Eunuch Cheng to take us to the side hall and wait."

The palace maid had no choice but to order the people on the side to fetch the umbrella, and braved the heavy rain to walk to Xuanhe Hall.

Along the way, Mu Yun walked a little fast, and the rain splashed her clothes.Holding the umbrella, the palace maid trotted after her and said, "Miss Mu, don't worry too much, walk slowly."

Mu Yun turned a deaf ear and kept walking.The sound of thunder "rumbling" overwhelmed Mu Yun, biting her lower lip, her lips turned white.After finally getting there, I saw the big characters "Xuanhe Hall" appearing in front of me.Mu Yun let out a sigh of relief.

"I hope everything is okay." She changed her steps, lowered her face, and walked over slowly.

Eunuch Cheng had already seen Mu Yun, he took an umbrella, trotted to Mu Yun, bowed and asked, "Why did Miss Mu come here suddenly?"

Mu Yun didn't answer his words, but asked directly, "Where's the emperor? Are you still discussing matters inside?"

"That's right, I've been discussing with some ministers for two hours, and I haven't had dinner yet."

Mu Yun nodded and said, "I haven't eaten dinner yet, so you should prepare the dinner first, and I will have dinner with the emperor later." After a pause, she said, "Take me to Let’s go to the hall, I’ll wait for him there.”

Eunuch Cheng blessed his body slightly, and said, "Miss Namu, please follow this slave." He said, he had already walked forward on his own.
