In the summer of the second year of Shen'an, the king of Donghe launched an attack on Miyun Prefecture, which was known as the granary of the fief of the king of Linshan.

Just when everyone thought that the king of Linshan was going to lose Miyun Prefecture, several loud noises turned the tide of the war, and the people were ignorant, thinking that the gods and thunders from heaven punished the cruelty of the king of Donghe, and praised the king of Linshan and praised him for being recognized by the heavens.

Suddenly, the king of the East River not only suffered a great loss to his army, but also his reputation fell to the bottom.

"What is the king of the mountains who is the chosen son of God, what is it that I have angered the heavens? That yellow-haired boy from King Linshan really played a good trick. "The king of Donghe suffered a huge loss this time, and the whole person was angry, and the soldiers and strategists below were trembling and did not dare to say a word.

"Haven't you found out what the black briquettes used by King Linshan that day were? Why is it so powerful? He asked sadly.

"Your Highness, we are working on it." Someone couldn't resist the pressure and said tremblingly.

"Research? What do I feed so many of you for? I don't believe that King Linshan got this thing suddenly, how could it be that there was no movement at all? What about our dark lines? Didn't have any news beforehand? Or is it that our people have already been noticed by that kid from the King of the Mountains? ”

"Your Highness, this matter is indeed too sudden, I believe that not only us, but even the King of Xichuan and all kinds of anti-kings don't know, Your Highness, please believe us, give us a little time, and we must find out as soon as possible."

"I'll believe you again, if you don't get the recipe for the black briquette, we won't have any chance of winning against the King of Linshan in the future, so immediately send someone to contact the King of Xichuan, I have something important to discuss with him."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Not only the king of Donghe, as soon as the black powder came out, all the anti-kings were in a hurry, the king of Linshan had such an artifact in his hand, who would be his opponent in the future?

But everyone is not stupid, and quickly thought of a countermeasure, no matter what, King Linshan is just a reverse now, Nanxu has not perished, the little emperor is still sitting on the throne, as long as the Queen Mother will make a decree for King Linshan to hand over the formula.

If he obediently makes friends, it is the best, if he does not scream, it is disrespectful to the emperor, and the vassal kings of all walks of life will have reason to besiege him, thinking how powerful his black powder is, can he still exterminate so many vassal kings at the same time?

The situation of the King of Linshan suddenly fell into a dilemma, but it is impossible to hand over the formula, and if you want to fight, he Chen Gaoxuan Taoguang has been obscure for so many years, is he a vegetarian?

In Chen Gaoxuan's study, his most trusted advisors and generals are there, and at the same time, there is also Ye Lu, who has just been canonized as a side concubine, because she is the contributor to this black powder formula, and at the same time, she also showed enough intelligence and admiration for Chen Gaoxuan in the previous conversation, and now Chen Gaoxuan trusts her very much.

"Now we have to fight with all the vassal kings, but we don't have enough troops, except for this black powder, I don't know what else the side concubine can do?" A strategist asked.

"I have a plan." Ye Lu's expression was confident, and everyone looked at it intently, and they all expressed their deference.

The sense of accomplishment in Ye Lu's heart was even worse, she knew that she came to this world to replace the heroine, otherwise she was a liberal arts student, why did she happen to see a military book about introducing ancient times before crossing over? Among them are not only the recipes for black powder, but also the design drawings of heavy crossbows and repeaters.

"Your Highness, please see, this is the design map that I transformed after seeing the bow and crossbow in the army some time ago, and I hope it will play a role in the major affairs of Your Highness." She spread out the drawings and did not rush to explain, but let these people study them.

The people present were not ordinary people, and they were fascinated by this look, and then exclamations sounded one after another.

"If it is really designed in this way, the heavy crossbow will not only save a cup of effort, but also be more lethal."

"There is also this repeating crossbow, which can fire ten arrows in a row at a time, Your Highness, Weichen feels that the design of this repeating crossbow is extremely exquisite, and it should be put into production immediately."

"With this heavy crossbow and repeater, our combat effectiveness can at least double again."

"The side concubine really has great wisdom!"

Everyone looked at her in amazement, their eyes were full of admiration, and they only felt that His Royal Highness's side of the concubine was really good.

Only the vanguard general Shi Rui showed a heavy face, his sister is the princess, the side concubine is so outstanding, so favored by the prince and respected by the ministers, will everyone only recognize the side concubine and not the main concubine in the future?

The princess Shi Xuan in the backyard is also as worried as her brother, since the side concubine Ye Lu entered the backyard of the palace, the prince has not entered her inner room for a month, even if she comes here, she just sits and leaves, she has been in the palace for three years, even if the prince usually respects him, but she still has no son under her knees, and now she is the only one who favors the side concubine, if the side concubine is pregnant with a child before her?

Shi Xuan squeezed the veil tightly, she didn't dare to imagine this consequence, originally the side concubine was married in with a heavy dowry, and she has been involved in the prince's major affairs, I heard that she is now discussing with the prince's advisers and generals in the study, and what about her? If there was no major event, the prince would not let her enter the study.

has been like this for a long time, in the future, in the palace, in the eyes of the soldiers, where will there be his own princess?

Ye Lu has only been in the mansion for a month, and there is talk among the people that the side concubine is more like a concubine than her, so what about after Ye Lu is pregnant with His Royal Highness's child?

She couldn't help but stroke her belly, blaming herself for not being angry, and she hadn't conceived a son and a half daughter for three years.

"Don't worry, princess, today is your birthday, princess, your Royal Highness will definitely rest here today, the slave maid went to the temple today to ask for your blessing, you can put it under the pillow when you rest at night, I heard that the temple is spiritual." The subordinates have been waiting for a long time, how can they not know Shi Xuan's thoughts, so they are relieved.

Shi Xuan smiled even more bitterly: "It's been three years, and all methods have been exhausted, what effect can it have." ”

"If even the princess is discouraged himself, the prince will also be discouraged, have you forgotten? The prince has always been looking forward to the birth of his son-in-law, and she has a lot of credit for the side concubine, but you and the prince have been friends since childhood, and the prince will not be confused, no matter what, let's try it, what if it really works? The subordinate persuaded hard, "The people of the temple said that this kind of thing must be sincere, and you must believe in yourself to have greater hope." ”

Shi Xuan pinched the child-seeking charm tightly, and now that the matter is over, she will believe it for the time being!

Seeing that she was still worried, the subordinate simply leaned in and whispered: "Princess, if you are worried that the side concubine will get pregnant first, why don't you just use the medicine?" It was a secret recipe in the palace before, and no one would find out. ”

Shi Xuan's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Shut up, don't talk about such things that damage yin virtue in the future." ”

She told her so, but the secret recipe lingered in her mind.
