Chapter 1206: Smoke Rises 18

tell father what you said when I arrived, holding the King.""Holding onto the prince"Feng Aotian's face changed drastically upon hearing this. This involved the Fourth Prince, which was a different m...Ye Xi opened her mouth, "This princess truly forgot what kind of identity the Prince once had, actually doubting his abilities."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "I know you're capable, just find out what"

"I went to the place they described, but found no sign of bandits. This king will have to ask around further."

"Then you should go and ask them, Sun Cheng has already finished refining the gunpowder over there."

"That fast"

Dugu Cheng was actually quite surprised. He didn't expect Sun Cheng to care so much about Xi'er's affairs, and the efficiency with which he handled things was also too fast.

"You go first. I'll take the blueprints and study this bomb with Sun Cheng. Maybe we can figure out how to make it." After all, she wasn't a professional, but Sun Cheng was a smart guy. If they studied together, maybe they could do something.

"Alright, this king will come find you all later."

Dugu Cheng took Ye Xi away, and Feng Lingxi went to find Sun Cheng. In the military camp, there has always been a place specifically for Sun Cheng and his team to research gunpowder. Since the existence of this gunpowder, such a place has existed in this camp.

Feng Lingxi came to the armory. Sun Cheng and the others had just finished packing up and were about to come out. Seeing Feng Lingxi's arrival, they hurried forward to greet her.

"Your Highness, what brings you here We have everything packed and were about to go find you."

"I can't go for now, the bandits' lair hasn't been located yet. The King went to investigate, and I came to you guys to show you this bomb and see if you have any ideas."

Feng Lingxi took out the drawings and showed them to everyone. Sun Cheng led the soldiers to examine the drawings, looking at the designs and starting to discuss. The brothers were unrestrained in front of Feng Lingxi, each expressing their opinions freely.

"This is quite similar to our gunpowder production, just with different materials."

This shell is more difficult, it has more gunpowder inside than ours.

"The shell must be handled properly to ensure it does not get damp and fail."

After everyone had finished discussing, Sun Cheng had a general idea of what to do.

"Your Highness, what do you think of this"

Feng Lingxi looked at Sun Cheng's confident expression and said lightly, "I don't have much thought on this. I know something about gunpowder, but this is far more complex than its production method. I don't know how to make it yet."

"This subordinate could give it a try, but it would require some materials. However, success is not guaranteed."

"Then why don't you try making one today"

Feng Lingxi was very curious if Sun Cheng could really make it. She was satisfied with his improvements to gunpowder, and he seemed to have a talent for this area. If he could really make it, then he must have the brains for it.

Then let General Sun give it a try.

Sun Cheng scratched his head with a silly grin, "Your Highness, I've done my best."

Feng Lingxi walked aside and watched Sun Cheng and the others busy preparing the materials. After more than two years, seeing them make gunpowder now, Feng Lingxi thought about how she had been so enthusiastic back then, wanting to make these explosives to fight. But in the end, these explosives were never used, and she ended up destroying them all.

More and more people are paying attention to the existence of gunpowder. She doesn't know if she wants to use gunpowder as a weapon, but she has already thought about using it in combat.

Du Gu Cheng came to the prison and looked at the bandits being held captive. Seeing Du Gu Cheng appear, Du Yue's expression was calm as he sat there, with no intention of getting up.

"You know I would come for you."

Dugu Cheng walked in front of him. Du Yue was still sitting on the ground, a blade of grass in his mouth, looking at Dugu Cheng with a disdainful gaze that made Dugu Cheng's eyes turn cold.

"Du Yue, the Wangye is speaking to you."

Ye Xi opened her mouth, very angry at Du Yue's reaction. After the prince and princess got married, they almost forgot how they used to treat their enemies.

"No path to the mountain could be found, and I've returned. It seems even the Prince of Dawn is no match for this."

Du Yue let out a cold snort. “He’s not as amazing as people say, is he Just a prince who won a few battles and scared some cowardly people.”

"Scare the timid"

Dugu Cheng pulled up a chair and sat down, glancing at the other bandits imprisoned next door.

"The information you provided is false."

The bandits hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Dugu Cheng's cold eyes swept over them, seeing their silence, he sneered and raised his eyes to look at Du Yue's disdainful gaze, "You don't have to say it, but this king will make you say it."

With a flick of her hand, Ye Xi stepped forward, drawing the dagger she had hidden in her boot. Her eyes were cold and sharp as she approached Du Yue. Du Yue hurriedly scrambled to his feet, looking at Ye Xi with wary eyes.

"What do you want to do"

Ye Xi stepped forward and rained punches and kicks on Du Yue, knocking him to the ground in just a few moves. He knelt down, raising his foot to stomp on Du Yue, pinning him down so he couldn't move.

"This King asks you one more time, speak, or do not speak."

Dugu Cheng watched Du Yue being beaten until his face was bruised and swollen, a cold glint in his eyes. He hadn't fought seriously for a long time; the world had almost forgotten his ruthlessness.

Du Yue struggled, glaring fiercely at Du Gu Cheng.

"I would rather die than say it."

"Hmm..."

Dugu Cheng sneered, walked to Du Yue's face and knelt down, reaching out his hand. Ye Xi handed him the dagger, which slapped against Du Yue's face. Looking at the anger in his eyes, Dugu Cheng's coldness increased, "Ask again, say, or not say"

"Death, not a word."

"Ah!"

Just then, the dagger in Dugu Cheng's hand suddenly stabbed towards Du Yue's thigh. Blood gushed out instantly. Du Yue let out a heart-wrenching scream that sent chills down one's spine. The dagger remained lodged in his thigh, and Dugu Cheng held it tightly, his eyes blazing with ferocity.

"Where is the village located"

"No...ah!" Dugu Cheng tightened his grip on the dagger, the searing pain causing Du Yue to break out in a cold sweat. Gritting her teeth and staring defiantly at Dugu Cheng, she still refused to speak.

It seems the bones are tough enough, this thigh pain is nothing compared to the pain of ten fingers being connected.

After finishing his words, he drew out his dagger and plunged it towards Du Yue's palm. Du Yue let out a shrill scream before fainting.

"My lord, he has fainted."

Ye Xi looked at the King's fierce expression. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he saw the King act so violently, making him seem like a beast unsatisfied.

"Fainting at the start"

Dugu City looked at the dagger stuck in Du Yue's back, his palm tightened, and Du Yue let out another scream, opening his eyes again in a faint, about to die from the pain.

"One more chance. If you don't speak, this will continue every day until you do."

Dugu City, you are not a human.

Du Yue gritted her teeth, anger welling up inside her, her eyes bloodshot.

Dugu Cheng raised his hand, and a voice suddenly came from behind him, "Your Highness the Prince of Stars, please spare my life. I'll say anything, anything at all."

"I said it too, I said it too."

The bandits imprisoned in another cell were terrified by Dugu City's ferocity, one by one kneeling and begging for mercy. palace said Is there no doctor in this imperial hospital Does the Fourth Princess consort have the time to treat her""Not necessarily."Feng Lingxi looked at Lan Fei's maidservant, who had a sullen an...
