Chapter 368 - 368: Earth Bomb



Li Yu returned to the cellar and took out two baskets of saltpeter and some sulfur. She asked Old Madam Yun, Old Madam Xu, and the others to grind the saltpeter and sulfur separately into powder. Before they could grind them, Ji Xiang and Ruyi returned with the wine jar and iron sand.

When the two of them saw Li Yu rolling up her sleeves and pushing the mill, they hurriedly put down the wicker basket. Ji Xiang walked forward. “Madam, let us do it.”

Ji Xiang looked at the saltpeter powder that Old Madam Yun and the others had sifted out. Ruyi asked Li Yu curiously, “Madam, is it useful for you to grind these things?”

Li Yu looked at the two of them. “It’s very useful. When I’m done configuring it, I’ll test it for you to see.”

Ji Xiang looked at these things and was enlightened. “Are you going to use those wine jars to store these things? The cork won’t be ready for another four hours!”

Li Yu smiled and said, “Four hours is fine. Let’s get these done first.”

Ji Xiang smiled and said, “I have nothing to do now.”

They worked for a long time before grinding the saltpeter and sulfur. Li Yu brought a few old women to sift through them twice before asking Ruyi and Ji Xiang to carry everything to the warehouse. They took the scale to the warehouse and began to configure the gunpowder.

Li Yu configured the saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal ash according to the ratio. After softening the fur-lined paper, she wrapped it in gunpowder and placed it in the fuse. Then, she added some oil to the configured gunpowder to wrap the iron sand inside.

After it was done, Li Yu looked at the two of them and instructed them solemnly, “These things can’t be tainted, or they will cause immeasurable consequences. We can’t let anyone with ulterior motives know of the existence of these things. At that time, I’m afraid it will bring an unimaginable disaster to the entire family. Got it?”

Seeing Li Yu’s serious expression, the two of them also replied solemnly,

Outside the city, the commoners brought back by the sergeants sent by General Tian had all arrived at the east city gate. The commoners dragged their families and food into the city one after another. The place that had just been repaired in West City was already filled with people. More and more people were coming to live there. Wu Tingxian thought of the sealed shops, inns, and residences of the Wei family and said to Zhou Jia, “Sir, we can requisition those residences of the Wei family for those commoners to live in temporarily.”

“Lord Wu is still the smartest,” Zhou Jia replied with a smile. Then, he asked Liu Yi and the bailiffs to find the abandoned empty houses in the city and get someone to tear off the seals on the Wei family’s shop and inn and place them inside.

Li Yu brought a can of concocted explosives to Ji Xiang and Ruyi. After noon, they left the city and went to a small hill outside the East City. The two of them watched as Li Yu blew on the lighter, lit the fuse on the wooden stopper, and threw it out. They heard a loud bang. Ji Xiang and Ruyi were shocked and hurriedly ran over to take a look. A huge pit was blasted open where the wine can had fallen. The iron sand inside shot into the tree at the side. The two of them looked at the huge pit and were dumbfounded. A moment later, they understood why Li Yu had made this thing.

The two of them looked at Li Yu, who was slowly walking over. “Madam, do you want to use this bomb to deal with Qi people?”

Li Yu sighed. “Yes, your master said that after the Qi people attacked Linshan

County, they slaughtered everyone in the city, even the children. If Yunzhou

City can’t be defended, the citizens in the city will suffer.”

Ruyi glanced at Li Yu. “Madam, not long after you left, Madam Gao came to look for you before the city gate closed. I told her that you went to look for Sir. I don’t think she believes me. The next morning, she brought her luggage out of the city and went to the capital. Also, I heard that Madam Wang and the others are still locking Madam Lin in the farm in front. I wonder if they followed those commoners into the city.”

No wonder he didn’t see Madam Gao when she came back this time. It turned out that she had long run away. Even Wu Tingxian didn’t have the confidence?

“Disregard Madam Lin. Let’s go back to the city! I don’t want Master to worry.” Li Yu walked back.

After the few of them returned to the city, they began to fill the remaining wine jars with gunpowder and iron sand. Zhou Jia returned from the front office exhausted. When he saw them filling the wine jars with those black things in the warehouse, he looked at them strangely. “Madam, I thought you were tinkering with something delicious in the warehouse. So it’s such a black thing. ”

Ji Xiang laughed and thought to himself that it would be amazing if he ate this. Li Yu also laughed when she heard that. “You can’t eat this.”

Ruyi smiled at Zhou Jia and said, “Master, this thing is like a firecracker, but it’s not much more powerful than a firecracker. Madam is preparing to use it to deal with those Qi soldiers.”

“You are using these things to deal with Qi soldiers? How?” Zhou Jia looked at the three of them in confusion. Ji Xiang squeezed to Zhou Jia’s side and told him about their test on the mountain outside the city.

“Really?” Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu in surprise. “Madam, did your master tell you all this?”

Li Yu nodded and thought to herself, that she had fortunately found a mysterious master for herself back then. Otherwise, how could she have hidden it?!

Zhou Jia looked at the jars in the wicker basket and thought to himself, With these things, would he be afraid of not being able to defend Yunzhou City? It would not be a problem to chase the Qi people back to the north.

Li Yu glanced at Zhou Jia and knew what he was thinking. She looked at him and said, “Xiao Xi, you can’t expose these things. You should know that an ordinary person’s wealth is his sin. You have to know that no matter how wise the person above is, there will be times when he’s muddle-headed. If someone with evil intentions provokes us in the middle, even if we empty our assets and offer them up, they will still suspect us. They will still think that we have something more powerful hidden and haven’t given it up. At that time, we will

only be faced with the disaster of annihilation. Unless you have…”

Zhou Jia knew what Li Yu was about to say. Unless you had the ambition to dominate the world. Thinking of this, Zhou Jia felt that it was a funny thing. Even his magistracy had brought so much trouble to Yu’er. Could there be a stable life when fighting for supremacy in the world? Forget it, he should wait for Qi people to be chased away before resigning and returning to Phoenix Village to open an academy. It was good to be a teacher.

“Not exposed? Madam, people will know if we use it! If we don’t use it, what’s the use of making these?”

“Master, we can’t use it openly. We can secretly use it and help!” Ji Xiang looked at Zhou Jia and said. Ruyi looked at Zhou Jia and kept nodding.

Li Yu also nodded and said, “Ji Xiang is right. Although General Ouyang is already leaving nothing usable to the enemy, if the Qi army really has 200,000 soldiers as you estimated, I’m worried that the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city won’t be able to defend Yunzhou City.”

Zhou Jia also understood. “Yes, what you say makes sense. When the time comes, we’ll disguise ourselves as prefecture soldiers and go up the city wall to help in the corner.”

Everyone unified their thoughts about dealing with Qi soldiers. Ji Xiang smiled and said, “Master, then you have to get a few sets of soldiers’ clothes and hide them at home as soon as possible. At that time, we’ll carry these things and blow up Qi soldiers on the city wall.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll get it back tomorrow.” Zhou Jia smiled and patted Ji Xiang. “This has delayed your marriage. Otherwise, our Ji Xiang would probably have become a groom.”

“Master, seriously, you went off-topic too quickly.” Ji Xiang ran out with a red face..
