Xuemei Tong looked sideways and realized that she had accidentally bumped into the wooden steps while retreating. She turned around and was about to leave when the door to the study room suddenly opened and Feng Qingge appeared at the door with a murderous look and a stern look.
Their eyes met, and the murderous aura receded in an instant. Feng Qingge put on a charming smile and said to Xue Meitong: "It turns out to be Tongtong! Tongtong, when did you come? Why didn't you say anything?"
Xue Meitong bowed politely and replied respectfully: "The prince is discussing important matters with Prime Minister Mu and General Leng. It is inconvenient for Meitong to disturb you."
Leng Junyi in the room bowed his head to Xue Meitong and said, "Princess, you are polite!"
Xue Meitong bowed before her, "Meitong has met General Leng and Prime Minister Mu!"
Mu Qingfei shook the folding fan lightly in his hand and said provocatively, "What was the princess doing outside the house just now? Could she be eavesdropping on our conversation with the prince?"
Xue Mei Tong replied tepidly: "Mei Tong just came over and heard General Leng saying that the emperor was going to send the prince to go on an expedition. Mei Tong felt that since the prince was discussing important matters with the two adults, Mei Tong couldn't disturb him.
I just wanted to leave silently, but unexpectedly, I still disturbed the prince. Charming Tong deserves to die!"
"Tongtong, it doesn't matter! This is not a shameful thing, it doesn't matter if you know it! Come in -"
After saying that, Feng Qingge turned aside to let Xue Meitong enter the room.
"Your Highness, is this... bad? If Your Majesty wants to discuss some important military and political matters with Prime Minister Mu and General Leng, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient if Mei Tong is present..."
"It doesn't matter! You are my princess, and there is nothing that I cannot let you know!"
Xue Meitong's heart moved.
He quickly lowered his eyebrows and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Xue Meitong entered the room, Leng Junyi stood up, pulled out the chair next to him and asked Xue Meitong to sit down. After Xue Meitong thanked her and sat down, Mu Qingfei poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Xue Meitong, "Princess, please use
Tea."
"Don't dare! I have to thank the Prime Minister!"
After everyone took their seats, Mu Qingfei asked Xue Meitong, "I wonder what the princess thinks of the prince about to lead the troops to the battlefield?"
Xue Meitong answered businesslikely: "The emperor's order cannot be violated!"
"The emperor's order cannot be violated... Ha!" Mu Qingfei chuckled and swayed the paper fan, "Princess, people in the plain don't speak secret words. You clearly know what I asked, so why do you need to answer me in these official words."
Xue Meitong picked up the teacup and sipped lightly, and replied with a smile: "Prime Minister Mu wants to hear what Meitong said? Truth? Lies? The world is peaceful, but the Tianji Kingdom wants to invade the border and provoke a war between the two countries. The prince leads the troops.
There is nothing wrong with guarding the border, expelling foreign enemies, and protecting the country! Of course, I believe the emperor hopes that after this battle, the prince will not have to come back again!"
Leng Junyi and Mu Qingfei's expressions were tense. They couldn't believe that such disrespectful words could be said so easily from Xuemei Tong's mouth.
"Hahahahahaha——"
Feng Qingge laughed and didn't think she was stupid. He touched Xue Meitong's hair with fondness in his eyes, "This is my Tongtong! Hahahahahaha - Tongtong, I like that you dare to do what you say."
character.”
Mu Qingfei shook his head.
Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder! If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid that person would have died long ago.
Feng Qingge put her arms around Xue Meitong's shoulders, "Tongtong, do you want to go to the border with me?"
"ah?"
Regarding Feng Qingge's sudden suggestion, Xuemei Tong was stunned for a long time, unable to believe her ears. She blinked her eyes and looked at Feng Qingge intently, her questioning gaze as if to confirm that she heard correctly. The cute look on her face was amusing.
De Feng Qingge burst out laughing. Feng Qingge touched Xue Meitong's hair and said with a smile: "Tong Tong, why do you look so surprised? I want to take you to the border with me, did you scare me?"
Uh...that's a bit!
Xue Meitong cursed in her heart, blinked and asked: "Feng Qingge, I'm not scared, it's just... you suddenly said you wanted to take me to the border, I was surprised. A general goes on an expedition without a female dependent, this is
Rules. And you also said that women are not allowed in the military camp!"
Feng Qingge looked directly at Xue Mei Tong and replied seriously: "You are an exception!"
Xue Mei Tong was silent.
What Feng Biqing asked her to do was now in front of her. But why was there not only no joy in her heart, but a faint feeling of uneasiness?
"Qingge, do you want to take the princess to the border?"
Obviously, Feng Qingge's decision surprised Mu Qingfei and Leng Junyi.
Feng Qingge calmly asked, "Why not?"
"this……"
Before Mu Qingfei could answer, Leng Junyi said: "Qingge, the battlefield is different from the palace. It is full of dangers and dangers. The military camp is full of rough people. Can you safely let the princess stay in the military camp?"
Feng Qingge was very calm about this, "As long as she doesn't leave my tent, nothing will happen."
Besides, with Xuetong’s domineering and arrogant character, is she someone who will be easily bullied?
"Your Majesty, please forgive Mei Tong for speaking bluntly." Xue Mei Tong interjected, "I just heard you talking about the magic weapons of Tianji Kingdom. May I ask, Your Majesty, what are the magic weapons you are talking about?"
Feng Qingge replied: "We only heard about this and have never seen it with our own eyes. However, people who have seen the magic weapon said that this magic weapon is about ten feet high and fifteen feet long, and it requires ten men.
Only then could he be able to lift it. When it rang out, it made a roar that shook the sky, and his ears buzzed when he heard it, and the aftertaste lingered for a long time. Everyone who saw it was frightened by the power of this magic weapon. Blood and flesh flew everywhere where the magic weapon passed, and the city was destroyed.
It only takes the blink of an eye to destroy the town. Although the rumors spread by the world are inevitably exaggerated, but it must be a powerful weapon."
"Really……"
Why does it feel like the more I listen to it, the more it sounds like a cannon?!
Could it really be a cannon?!
Seeing Xue Meitong's thoughtful face, sometimes nodding, sometimes confused, Leng Junyi couldn't help but ask: "Princess, have you seen this kind of magic weapon?"
"Well..." What should I say? "Does Feng Yuguo have gunpowder?"
"Gunpowder?" Leng Junyi asked, "What the princess said is a mixture of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal. When exposed to fire, it turns into flames and even explodes..."
"Yes! This is the gunpowder I'm talking about!"
Xue Meitong said, "From your description, I think it was caused by a gunpowder explosion."
Leng Junyi said: "At the beginning, we also doubted whether it was caused by the ignition of gunpowder. However, with a distance of hundreds of miles and a city destroyed and people killed, gunpowder may not be so powerful?"
Xue Meitong played with a strand of hair beside her ear and murmured in a low voice, "That's because the amount of saltpeter in the gunpowder is not enough and the power is not strong enough. Besides, you haven't made firearms or cannons, so naturally you can't feel the gunpowder.
The true power of.”
"Oh?" Leng Junyi was very interested when he heard this and humbly asked for advice, "Please give the princess details."
