That night, Wen Qingzhu went to Lu Chengen and explained his thoughts.
He frowned and asked, "That place is at the junction of Daqi and the Huns. It's very dangerous for you to go there like this."
Wen Qingzhu replied confidently: "General, don't worry, I've seen the map and terrain over there. It's still easy to operate within five people. I've also operated in the Cangyun Mountains before."
"Five people?" Lu Chengen was hesitant. Based on what happened in the capital, he knew that her personality was very radical, but he didn't expect her to be so radical.
As soon as we arrive, we need to go to the place where Fu Lie is trapped.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and took out a dumpling-sized black ball: "General, what is this?"
Lu Chengen reached out and took the black ball, smelled it, and shook it. It felt very familiar to him.
Suddenly his expression became solemn, he looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "This is a thunderbolt!"
"That's right! And it's an improved thunderbolt! It has stronger explosive power and more stable storage! The most important thing is that it can be used as large gunpowder to blow up mountains directly!"
When Wen Qingzhu mentioned this matter, Lu Chengen understood, put down his thunderbolts and asked, "Do you know everything?"
"Well, Fu Lie doesn't have time to do these things, so I'll help her!" Wen Qingzhu looked at her firmly.
Lu Chengen looked down at Thunderbolt and pointed outside.
Wen Qingzhu reached out to pick it up, turned around and went out, and saw a bow and arrow hanging on the wall.
She went to take it off again and took it out with her.
Outside the door, Wen Qingzhu handed the thunderbolt to Lu Chengen: "Can you trouble General to throw this into the air?"
"You know how to shoot arrows?" Lu Chengen took the thunderbolt and looked up at the sky.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said nothing. When Lu Chengen threw the thunderbolt into the sky, she saw the right moment, nocked the bow and arrow, and fired instantly.
There was a loud bang, and thunderbolts exploded in the sky, exploding in various colors.
Wen Qingzhu slowly put down his hand and watched the last sparks in the air disappear.
Lu Chengen stared at her: "Did Fu Lie teach you archery?"
"Yes. What he taught was learned for another person." Wen Qingzhu is now able to face each other calmly.
She will never make all the mistakes again!
Wen Qingzhu turned to Lu Chengen and asked, "What does the general think of me now?"
"good!"
Wen Qingzhu pursed his lips and smiled. As expected, strength is needed to speak at any time.
In the backyard of the General's Mansion, Lu Shu was taking two children and teaching them how to practice swordsmanship.
A flash of fireworks suddenly appeared in the sky.
The little girl among them shouted excitedly: "Mom! Look! It's fireworks!"
Lu Shu stared at the remaining light in the air and frowned deeply: These are not fireworks! It's gunpowder!
The little boy noticed Lu Shu's strange behavior and pulled the little girl's hand: "Shh, let's not talk for now."
The little girl nodded immediately, but her eyes were still looking expectantly, hoping that there would be more fireworks.
Because this is a border area, fireworks like yours are not allowed!
The little girl had only seen it when she had been to Yunzhou, and she fell in love with it once.
As the sky turned bright, Wen Qingzhu and Lei Shuo Beidou disguised themselves and set off quietly.
She doesn't know martial arts, so she can't bring Lu Tao and Jasmine with her for the time being.
Dingyuan City is still very prosperous. When passing through the civilian area, the streets are full of people coming and going, which is very lively.
Wen Qingzhu was dressed in men's clothing, while Lei Shuo was still in girl's clothing. She was wearing the most common riding attire in Dingyuan, so she didn't stand out at all among the crowd.
After leaving the city, they avoided pedestrians and walked along deserted roads. Within an hour, there was no trace behind them.
At this moment, Lei Yan came back with Lu Lei and said to him excitedly: "My sister is here! She must know a lot about the county lord, you can just ask her about it!"
Lu Lei didn't say anything on his face, but he was still very happy in his heart.
They arrived at the guest room and saw Lu Shu arranging things here.
"Aunt, where is sister Lei Shuo?" Lu Lei stepped forward and looked into the room, only to find that there was still no one there.
Lu Shu then explained: "They left. They will be back in ten days at the earliest, and it may take twenty days at the slowest. You don't need to come here for the time being."
"Where have they gone?" Lei Yan became nervous. What on earth are Lei Shuo and Qingzhu going to do
He turned to leave. Lu Shu quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lei Yan's arm: "Xiao Yan, don't get excited! The princess has thought about this matter carefully, and the people around the princess are more powerful than we imagined!"
After leaving Dingyuan City, Wen Qingzhu and the others encountered their first problem.
The three of them looked at their empty water bags and fell into deep thought.
In the end, Wen Qingzhu took out the map again and made sure that it marked that there would be water sources here!
But she looked around, and there was no water source except piles of rocks and woods.
This side is already dry, and if there is no water, they must return.
Wen Qingzhu began to think, had she made a mistake in analyzing the problem
"Qingqing, look here, everything except the water source can be matched. Why is that?" Lei Shuo took the map and compared it one by one.
Wen Qingzhu squatted down and looked at the dry land. There was still grass growing on it, and it was growing well.
Different from the weeds they saw along the way, the grass roots here are greener, which means there must be a water source here!
Wen Qingzhu simply sat down cross-legged and began to think back to how she followed Xie Feichen to find water sources in the Medicine God Valley.
Time passed slowly, and Wen Qingzhu suddenly stood up and gave Beidou a few instructions.
Using their place as the starting point, start digging a hole, but not very deep, just a shallow layer.
Then dig in in six directions around them.
With less than thirty pits, Wen Qingzhu keenly discovered that the degree of moisture on the surface was different. According to the direction with the highest humidity, Wen Qingzhu and the others walked forward.
I actually discovered a plant that likes moisture. My Beidou ears are so good that I quickly ran to the pile of rocks and found a well!
Wen Qingzhu and the others went over and observed the well carefully.
Looking at the traces left around, it seemed that they had only been dug out recently, and this place was too hidden, making it difficult for ordinary people to find it.
To be on the safe side, Wen Qingzhu asked Beidou to go back and restore the ground to its original state.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the well and began to think, because this place is at the junction, there are mountains blocking it here! So the border wall cannot be closed!
We can only send people to guard here, but according to the information we have received so far, there are many ferocious beasts and poisonous insects on the mountain. The Huns do not dare to come easily, and even the Daqi people do not dare to go up easily.
Because of this, Fu Lie chose this path as a breakthrough.
I just didn't expect that someone would prepare an ambush here in advance.
Being able to prepare an ambush means that someone knows this place very well.
Wen Qingzhu looked up at the mountains and forests in front of her. The situation on the mountains was different from the mountains and forests she had seen before.
The rocks here are very brittle, so if you use gunpowder, you can catch them by surprise.
After drinking the water, storing it, Wen Qingzhu buried the traces, and started to set off again.
Two hours after they left, a small caravan with five mules, their faces covered, looked around cautiously, and quietly walked here.
Unlike Wen Qingzhu and the others, they walked directly to the water source.
There were about ten people in the group, and among them there was a sturdy man who was also masked. When he went to fetch water, he subconsciously looked at the stones beside the well.
He has a good memory and is different from before!
Although there are no traces around, he specially marked this place. Someone has been here!
To be on the safe side, the person or persons removed the traces.
The technique is very sophisticated, even better than him!
The man looked up and looked ahead, lost in thought. It seemed that someone had entered before them.
Don’t know who it is
The three people who are traveling through the mountains have been going smoothly because of the presence of Beidou and Wen Qingzhu.
To be safe, they walked slowly to hide their traces.
There were dangers on the road, but they were all avoided without incident.
While walking, Wen Qingzhu suddenly stopped and said, "That's not right!"
"What's wrong?" Lei Shuo stopped.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked around, finding a place with a lot of gravel, and began to recall the first time he saw the well.
As she recalled, she arranged the stones as they had first seen them.
Lei Shuo looked at it and saw it: "Isn't this the place where we first found the water source? Is there any problem?"
"The placement of this stone seems to be a formation!" Wen Qingzhu stared at the pair of random stones in front of him, thinking and recalling in his heart.
Many things have been taught by the teacher, and she will definitely remember them.
The formations in this world are difficult to learn, but as long as you get started, the methods are the same.
Wen Qingzhu began to take out some of the stones and arrange them according to the formation she had in mind, and soon a familiar formation appeared.
"We may have entered a place we shouldn't have entered!" Wen Qingzhu looked serious, knowing that today's matter might not be so difficult and he could escape unscathed.
"No way! I also know this formation. It's different from the one just now!" Lei Shuo looked at the stones on the ground and was surprised.
Wen Qingzhu scrambled the stones, turned around and continued walking forward. At the same time, he said to Lei Shuo: "This formation has never been the same! As long as someone can do this, he can do anything! Just now it was just a part of the original formation. The changes are based on personal preference. After all, this is not a real war! The most important thing is that you can also mark it!"
"Then what should we do now?" Lei Shuo started to be a little worried, but she was still not afraid. She didn't understand why she believed Wen Qingzhu inexplicably.
"Nothing to do, keep walking forward to where Fu Lie is trapped, but we must be more careful than before! I always feel like there is something hidden behind the matter!"
As Wen Qingzhu walked and talked, he thought of so many Huns spies in the capital.
It took a long time to train so many spies. Under the Emperor's feet, unless under normal circumstances, they would never become spies!
Daqi must be the most prosperous place in this place, and most people would not do this.
After all, once discovered, it would be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan!
"What's the secret? Do you suspect there are more spies in Dingyuan?" Lei Shuo followed closely behind her and kept asking.
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "Well, the situation in the capital is more complicated than I thought. Then Dingyuan, next to the Xiongnu border, is naturally becoming more and more mixed. The most important thing is that in the past few decades, Emperor Shunde has been dividing the military power of the Lu family and constantly controlling it. The Lu family makes it impossible for them to govern correctly!"
"It doesn't matter! I believe you! You can definitely clean up the Huns spies!" Lei Shuo replied without hesitation.
