Of course, Qiao Mingyue didn't really go to make Babao tea with General Qiao, she was worrying about the mass production of fire guns with General Qiao at this time.

In order to widely use firearms in the army, it is necessary to carry out unified large-scale production, and the biggest problem that needs to be solved urgently now is raw materials.

Qiao Mingyue held her forehead and said worriedly: "A large amount of saltpeter is needed to produce gunpowder, and a large amount of refined iron is needed to produce firecracker. Qiao Mingyue wailed, in front of her family, she had never concealed her childishness.

General Qiao petted her head dotingly, and said, "I know of a saltpeter mine. ”

Qiao Mingyue instantly cheered up, and looked at General Qiao with her eyes shining.

"A few years ago, I was stationed in Youzhou, and I knew that there was a saltpeter mine on the border of Youzhou, but it was occupied by a group of bandits, and those bandits were extremely fierce, and countless people who coveted saltpeter mines were finally turned into bones and left in the stockade, and if you want to defeat them, I am afraid that you will have to waste some setbacks."

Qiao Mingyue patted her chest and said, "It's okay, it's not my style to give up after this point, Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely move the saltpeter mine back to us." I'll leave the matter of the fine iron to Daddy. ”

At night, Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun talked about it again.

Qiao Mingyue shrank in Qi Jingyun's arms and said: "Daddy said that there is a saltpeter mine on the border of Youzhou, but it has been occupied by bandits for many years, and the bandits are fierce, and our 10,000 elite soldiers have not yet been recruited, and it is obviously not the best strategy to attack by force." ”

Qi Jingyun played with her hair and said casually: "What does that lady think?" ”

Qiao Mingyue's red lips opened slightly, and she spit out a word: "Poison." ”

"Poison?"

"Yes. You don't need too many people to use poison, I can go with Lianyi and Hua Lian, and the bandits dominate one side and endanger the people, so it's not too much to poison them. We just need to find the right time to sneak in and poison it quietly. ”

"No, I'm going with you!" Qi Jingyun hugged Qiao Mingyue tightly.

"Don't make trouble, it's easy for others to be suspicious when you go. Besides, you haven't recruited enough soldiers, don't you want to care? ”

"Moreover, you have to help Daddy go door-to-door to collect fine iron, Daddy can't be busy alone."

"Okay then."

Qi Jingyun hung his head aggrievedly and didn't insist anymore.

Early that morning, three food deliverers came to the cottage ten kilometers away from Youzhou City.

Take a closer look, who are these three people Qiao Mingyue, Chi Lianyi, and Hua Lian?

Qiao Mingyue walked in front, and today she deliberately put on makeup to make herself ugly. She was going to give Chi Lianyi some makeup, but Chi Lianyi refused to die, and in the end she simply covered her fair skin. After all, they are pretending to be farmers, and they are too white to arouse suspicion.

As soon as they reached the door, they were stopped in their way.

"What are you doing?" The burly man guarding the door shouted.

Depend on! Why are you so loud?

Qiao Mingyue scolded him countless times in her heart, but the smile on her face did not decrease. I saw her smile and said: "Strongman, we are here to deliver food to the cottage." ”

"It wasn't you who delivered the food yesterday!" Dahan continued to roar.

Qiao Mingyue resisted the urge to beat people and said, "The person who delivered the food yesterday caught a cold and fell ill last night, and he really couldn't get up, so he had to entrust us to do it for him." We were neighbors, and when we saw that he was pitiful, we helped him run. ”

Qiao Mingyue specially checked the people who delivered vegetables to the cottage every day, and they gave the people who delivered the vegetables a sum of money, saying that they would do it for them. It is a fool to have money that does not make money, and the person who delivers the food readily agrees to their request.

Fortunately, this big man looks great, but his brain is not particularly smart, and although it took a lot of words, he still let them in.

After entering, someone took them to the kitchen, and just about to leave, Qiao Mingyue suddenly shouted stomach pain, she gave Chi Lianyi a look, Chi Lianyi understood, and hurriedly helped Qiao Mingyue, saying, "Sister, are you okay?" ”

Qiao Mingyue squatted on the ground and hugged her stomach and said to the person who led them in, "This strong man ...... I had unbearable abdominal pain...... Can you allow me to use your hut......

The man was a little suspicious, but when he saw that Qiao Mingyue's face turned white in pain, he pointed in a direction and let her go.

At this moment, Chi Lianyi suddenly took out a packet of medicinal powder from her sleeve and threw it at the man. The man fell to the ground in an instant, unconscious.

The powder was recently developed by Chi Lianyi, and this medicine can make people forget what the applicator wants him to forget. And it doesn't leave any traces.

Because it was early in the morning, there were not many people in the courtyard, so Qiao Mingyue and the three of them quickly sprinkled the poison in the well in the backyard of the kitchen. The poison only worked for three days, and after three days, it had no effect. But just three days, that's enough.

After finishing, Chi Lianyi snapped her fingers in front of the leader, and the man woke up slowly. Of course, he had forgotten that Chi Lianyi had stunned him.

When they completed their task and walked to the door of the cottage, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Stop."

Limu got up a little earlier today, so he walked around the village at will, and as he walked around, he came to the door of the cottage and saw three strangers. Originally, Limu didn't care about these things, but he was in a very good mood today, and somehow, he would stop them by magic.

Suddenly, when he saw something, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards Qiao Mingyue and the others.

When the leader saw the salute, he hurriedly shouted respectfully: "The owner of the village! ”

The owner of the village?

Qiao Mingyue carefully looked at the man in front of him, he looked like he was in his thirties, his aura was extremely strong, and there was a strong coercion when he stood in front of others, making people dare not look him directly into the eyes. His skin was a bronzer that had been tanned for a long time, and although it didn't look as good as the one in their family, it was still quite outstanding, especially the shallow scar on his left eyebrow, which added a bit of anger to him.

This is a person to mess with!

Qiao Mingyue lowered her head after just one look, pretending to be very scared, and when she saw him walking towards her, thousands of thoughts flashed in her mind, but she saw Limu walking straight past her.

Li Mu finally stopped in front of Chi Lianyi, bent down slightly, and the strong masculine aura instantly wrapped her, only to hear him say: "Little girl, how about staying and being my wife of the village owner, huh?" ”

Ay? …… What's the situation? Not only Chi Lianyi was stunned in place, but even Qiao Mingyue was petrified on the spot. Qiao Mingyue and the others had made all kinds of preparations before they came, and they even thought of being caught when their plans were revealed, but they never imagined that there would be such a thing anyway.

As for why Chi Lianyi is so popular with the owner of the village? In this regard, Chi Lianyi said that she also wanted to know.
