Chapter 969: Gunpowder Formula
Yuan Jinyu took his hand back embarrassedly, glanced back, and motioned for Yelan and the others to come over in the morning to help him, and he was still watching from the side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Who knew that when I turned around like this, I found that they had already gone and were not here.
Still, she was embarrassed. A man like Mu Ze would not easily do such a tiresome move, but when she did it, she couldn't resist it.
Untied the apron, Yuan Jinyu asked his subordinates to bring all the food to the room, and the two of them had a very quiet breakfast.
Although I know that there are still many things to deal with in the future, no one has mentioned it at the dinner table.
After putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Yuan Jinyu couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jiu, what are you going to do next?"
Mu Ze just looked at the door and said contemplatively: "When I come back thirty, I want to see the results of his interrogation before making plans." ”
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Thirty to come back, and the news he brought back was also expected by Yuan Jinyu and Mu Ze. The woman had been running all night, leaving their pursuers off a bit, and now she was running deep into the mountains and forests, and she didn't know when she would be caught.
As for the results of Lin Shoucheng's interrogation, it has already come out, and the person behind the scenes is naturally the King of Chu.
In fact, even if he said someone else, Mu Ze would manipulate him and let him identify the King of Chu.
Thirty stood not far away, and continued to say to the two of them: "Now that our people in the capital have taken action, the Chu Palace's palace is surrounded by heavy troops, even if it is a fly, don't want to fly out of it." But Your Highness, this matter has been a long night, and we must go back to Beijing as soon as possible to deal with it. ”
Since Jiuniang was not caught, it didn't matter if Lin Shoucheng was alone, then here in Dongcheng, they couldn't stay for a long time.
So Mu Ze pondered for a moment, and waved his hand to let thirty go.
After thirty walks, Mu Zecai said to Yuan Jinyu: "Jinyu, because I am in a hurry to return to Beijing to deal with these things, I will take a step first, and you will hurry slowly behind." This time, there is Prince Taira, as well as the heavy soldiers of this king and his father, you will definitely not have an accident. ”
Yuan Jinyu actually wanted to go back to Beijing with Mu Ze, after all, she really didn't want to be separated from Mu Ze now. But when he thought of the long distance, Mu Ze must have been riding a horse overnight, even if he could not complain or be tired, his body would not be able to bear it, and he would still pull Mu Ze's hind legs when the time came.
In this case, it is better to be escorted back to Beijing slowly by the large army, and it is just right to stagger the time with Mu Ze.
So she weighed it and had to reluctantly nodded: "Brother Jiu, you have to be careful on the road." ”
Mu Ze stretched out his hand, took her hand, and stared at her black and white eyes: "You too." ”
However, Mu Ze said that if he wanted to leave, it was impossible to leave immediately, after all, he was the prince, since he had arrived in this eastern city, he always had to make an inspection, and the city lord of this eastern city was controlled by himself, and he also had to elect the new city lord.
Moreover, those traffickers who plagued the people before, he didn't have time to interrogate him personally, so he had to hand it over to the new city lord and let him rescue all the girls who were abducted before.
As for what to do with Ding Yan and the other women who came out of the village, that was what Yuan Jinyu should think, and Mu Ze didn't want to interfere.
Before the two of them finished discussing, Master Dou came over with Dou Ko.
This house is also heavily guarded, and if these two people want to see them, they need to pass it on in advance.
When they were taken in and saw Mu Ze and Yuan Jinyu, Master Dou directly knelt on the ground tremblingly and kowtowed to them: "Your Highness, Niangniang, this time the little girl can be rescued, it is all a loss to the two! If it weren't for the two, our father and daughter would still be toyed with by Lin Shoucheng in applause!"
Dou Ko was also very sentimental, her eyes were red, and now she couldn't call Yuan Jinyu her sister, so she choked up and said to them: "I have heard all the things that Lin Shoucheng did, and I really thank the prince and Niangniang this time! No matter what Dou Ko needs to do in the future, Dou Ko will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire!"
Master Dou also nodded, their family regards these two people as benefactors, even if he can't repay their kindness in his lifetime, he will definitely repay it in the future.
Mu Ze didn't move, Yuan Jinyu helped the two of them up first, and comforted softly: "Since we have encountered such a thing, we can't ignore it, you two don't have to give us such a big gift, we deserve it." ”
Dou Ko shook his head vigorously: "Sister Princess, I really don't know how to thank you......"
Yuan Jinyu smiled softly: "You, as long as you can live well, it is the greatest thank you to me." ”
Dou Ko looked at Yuan Jinyu thoughtfully, understanding what she meant. was abducted once, she saw the biggest darkness in the world, and she also knew how difficult it was to live.
So no matter what happened in the future, even if she really felt that she couldn't live at that time, Dou Ko thought, she would definitely persevere.
Master Dou was even more emotional this time, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and respectfully handed it to Mu Ze.
Thirty stood beside Mu Ze, and looked at Master Dou with some vigilance, so he took the paper.
Master Dou lowered his head and explained to Mu Ze: "This is how gunpowder is made, and the grass people will give it to you, because you are a person worthy of trust." ”
Mu Ze was still holding the paper, but when he heard this, he didn't open it, so he put the paper on the table.
Yuan Jinyu was also stunned. You know, this is something that Lin Shoucheng hasn't gotten after 20 years of hard work, and Master Dou actually gave it to Mu Ze like this?
"The grass people thought about it, in this life, the things passed down from the ancestors are the most valuable, and now the grass people give it to you, it is a piece of the grass people's heart, and please don't shirk the prince. Master Dou was afraid that Mu Ze would not accept it, so he immediately explained two more sentences.
Mu Ze really didn't want to accept it, so he handed the piece of paper to thirty and asked him to return it.
"Since this is something that the Dou family has lived in for so many years, this king will naturally not accept it. Gunpowder is not easy to produce, and it is precisely because of your efforts that the border has become more and more stable for so many years. Therefore, this king thinks that it is most appropriate for this formula to remain in your hands. ”
Master Dou didn't expect Mu Ze to refuse, and even Dou Ko was stunned. Even she didn't know what was written on it, although she was curious and asked, but her father didn't tell her.
You know, you can't buy that recipe for any amount of money, even if the emperor is standing here, Master Dou may not give it! Not to mention several other princes.
And now, His Royal Highness King Ning has just resigned lightly!
Dou Ko really didn't know what to say, he looked at Master Dou and found that Master Dou was also obviously in a state of wandering, and he was silent for a long time before he exhaled a breath of turbidity: "Grass people...... I really didn't expect it. ”
Mu Ze still looked at him lightly, in fact, the gunpowder formula was really not too valuable to him. If he wants, he can get it through some means.
But today's recipe, he can't accept it no matter what. On the one hand, it is the reason he just said, and on the other hand, it is that this formula is accepted, and he is likely to be involved in a series of events.
It can be said that Dongcheng's independence for so many years has a lot to do with the fact that the Dou family is not attached to any prince.
As long as he receives it today, after the emperor returns to Beijing, he may kill his military power.
Master Dou also knew that he was not thinking about it properly, but in the same way, why wasn't he testing Mu Ze?
So after the paper was re-delivered to him, Master Dou knelt on the ground again. The previous time it was grateful, and this time it was a sincere submission.
"In the future, all the people in Hengzhen will obey His Highness's orders, and as long as His Highness has orders, we will do our best to complete them. ”
Yuan Jinyu also smiled slightly, and joked with Dou Ko: "I was still worried just now, you know, your family's recipe will definitely be passed on to your husband in the future, if Your Highness really accepts it, is it possible that Your Highness wants to marry you?"
As soon as Master Dou and Dou Ko heard this, cold sweat came down. Really, it's not funny at all.
Who of them doesn't know that His Royal Highness and the princess have a good relationship, where do they dare to add to the blockage?
So Dou Ko immediately explained: "Sister Princess is not! I have a little bit of a non-trivial thought about you, absolutely not for Your Highness!"
Yuan Jinyu: "......"
Master Dou: "...... my child, what happened to you during your disappearance?"
Similarly, Mu Ze, who was still expressionless just now, glanced at Dou Ko coldly like this, which made Dou Ko tremble and immediately dare not speak.
However, because of Yuan Jinyu's joke, those previous things were even revealed.
Especially when Master Dou said that he wanted to be loyal to Mu Ze, Mu Ze did not answer. It is worth mentioning that he did not refuse either.
Yuan Jinyu didn't want to meddle in those things of men, she just had to stand behind Mu Ze and support him all the time.
However, Mu Ze told him something else, that is, to let Master Dou elect the new city lord.
Master Dou didn't care that he still had some injuries on his body, and in the next few days, he was always busy, but the people he elected were all from Hengzhen.
Now that he understands, even if he lets someone else be the city lord, the people of the entire Dongcheng will still feel that the city lord is not as good as the Dou family, and they will listen to the Dou family's orders more.
So why didn't he directly support his cronies? So after electing the new city owner, the new city owner took over the case of abducting and selling women, which can be regarded as helping Yuan Jinyu solve the problem.
However, Mu Ze had already left Dongcheng when he saw Master Dou that day.
On that day, Yuan Jinyu went to see him off, and when she saw him and Prince Heping on the horse, her eyes were full of reluctance.
Prince Ping was actually a little worried about whether Yuan Jinyu had anything to do with him alone, but when he saw the vast army of tens of thousands of people behind Yuan Jinyu, he was instantly relieved.
