Chapter 94 The familiar smell of gunpowder

"Don't be too entangled. Maybe your second brother has his own considerations. I think when he is willing to show up, he will definitely come to you in person. Don't worry too much." Pei Mo's tone was very gentle, which made him laugh.

Murong Qing's inner anxiety gradually calmed down.

"Okay, I think the second brother may have his own plans, so let's wait until he comes to find me. Let's go back to the General's Mansion first."

Murong Qing stood up and said goodbye to his family, then returned to the general's mansion with Pei Mo.

As a general of a country, he had to deal with many things every day, so Murong Qing naturally did not want to hold Pei Mo back.

As soon as they returned to the general's mansion, a servant came to Pei Mo to report the news, while Murong Qing returned to his room, still thinking about what happened to Murong Jiang on the street just now.

But after a while, Ping'er came in carrying a big plate.

"Madam, this is the apple that the general asked me to bring to you," Ping'er said with a smile on his face, feeling happy for Murong Qing from the bottom of his heart. "It is said that this apple is a very valuable thing. I'm afraid I can't find it even if I search all over the capital."

How many people can afford apples?"

Murong Qing knew that Ping'er had a pure heart, so when she said this, she was not taking the opportunity to show off, but she was telling the truth.

Except for the royal family and nobles, no one in the entire capital can afford apples. Moreover, these apples are a special product, and ordinary people, even if they have some money, do not have the privilege to eat them.

"As soon as the general got these apples, he asked me to bring them all to you, madam. It shows that the general has madam in his heart." Ping'er smiled even brighter.

She has been serving Murong Qing since she was a child. The two of them are like sisters. If Murong Qing can find a good home, she, the maid, is also happy in her heart.

"Looking at your worthless look, isn't it just a little apple?" Murong Qing saw Ping'er smiling happily and rolled her eyes at her, but she felt very sweet in her heart and couldn't help but reach out and pick up an apple.

Although she had eaten a lot of apples in her previous life, it was not too rare, but it was Pei Mo's intention after all, and for her, this friendship was enough.

"Madam, please eat quickly," Ping'er seemed impatient. "After you eat it, tell me what apples taste like. I have never eaten them since I was a child."

While the two were talking, Pei Mo had already finished handling his own affairs and walked into the room. Hearing the conversation between the master and the servant, he found some chairs and sat down.

Seeing Ping'er's unseen expression, Murong Qing picked one up and handed it to her: "Here, try it yourself."

When Ping'er saw Pei Mo come in, she bowed respectfully first, and then saw Murong Qing handing her an apple. She took it with joy on her face and was about to put it to her mouth when she heard Murong Qing suddenly shout.

"Throw the apple away quickly! This apple is inedible!"

Murong Qing's expression changed drastically, and the apple in his hand was already placed on the table.

"ah?"

Ping'er and Pei Mo were stunned for a moment at the same time, and focused their eyes on Murong Qing with suspicion.

Ping'er was about to open his mouth to bite the apple, but at this time he was so frightened that he froze in place, not knowing what to do.

"What...what's wrong, madam, is there something wrong with this apple?"

Murong Qing calmed down and looked at the apple patiently and suspiciously, his eyebrows gradually hardening into a knot.

"This apple smells like gunpowder. You can't eat it."

"Smells of gunpowder?"

Pei Mo repeated it again as if he didn't believe it. He played with the apple in his hand and looked at it over and over for a long time.

"Why does the apple smell like gunpowder?" Pei Mo said and brought the apple to his nose and smelled it.

"Are you overthinking it? Why don't I smell anything on this apple?" Pei Mo said calmly without smelling anything strange on the apple.

Ping'er's mood also calmed down at this time. He couldn't eat or put the apple in his hand, and looked at Murong Qing with an embarrassed face.

"No, I'm not lying. There is indeed a smell of gunpowder on this apple, but it's just a weak smell that you can't smell."

Murong Qing's expression was very determined at this time. This matter was indeed a bit unbelievable, but her sense of smell would not deceive her either. Moreover, she was very sensitive to the smell of gunpowder.

In their last life, their home was blown up by this kind of gunpowder.

Such a large field was blown up beyond recognition in the blink of an eye, and all the houses were destroyed. The sound of the explosion alone shocked people within a hundred miles.

The fire ignited by the explosion burned for a whole day and night before gradually extinguishing.

Murong Qing's thoughts instantly returned to that night.

"It's terrible, it's really terrible..." She suddenly felt that her head started to hurt. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to hold her temples and massaged them gently.

That night, all the servants and relatives were unprepared. They were all blown up by explosives and were completely changed beyond recognition. When the scene was finally inspected, many people had been burned to black, and only a human figure could be vaguely seen. The scene was horrific.

"boom!"

The sound of explosives exploding instantly echoed in Murong Qing's mind, and the shouts and painful wails of the servants burrowed into her mind like worms, gnawing at every nerve in her, leaving her unable to do anything.

peaceful.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"

Pei Mo noticed that Murong Qing's eyes were distracted, his brows were tightly knitted together, his eyes were slightly closed, and his expression seemed to be in pain. He was very confused in his heart, so he had already come over to her with a gentle tone.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about gunpowder. You can have it as you say." Pei Mo thought it was because he had a dispute with Murong Qing just now about the smell of gunpowder that Murong Qing was acting like this, so he quickly relaxed.

, "If you feel uncomfortable, let me help you go to bed and rest."

The woman's mind was still filled with the explosion and fire, her whole body was groggy, and her brain was as heavy as a dollar.

The strong mental stimulation made her feel uncomfortable all over, and her stomach began to churn. She almost vomited everything she had just eaten.

"Madam, please lie down on the bed and rest for a while." At this time, Ping'er also saw that something was wrong with Murong Qing, and helped her to the bed with Pei Mo.

"If you are really uncomfortable, I will stay here to take care of you tonight." Pei Mo's tone was very concerned.

Murong Qing slowly opened his eyes and saw that handsome and distinct face next to him. His eyes were full of concern and his heart felt very warm.

"No need, I'm much better now. You still have a lot of things to deal with, so you should have a good rest." Murong Qing had already made up his mind to investigate this matter clearly, so he refused to let Pei Mo stay.

here.

"Maybe it'll be fine if you sleep tonight, General, so you don't have to worry about me too much."

The woman lying on the bed smiled coquettishly, a bit like a sickly beauty, and Pei Mo was stunned for a moment.
