31. Before leaving, a fire
The carriage carried Ling Wushuang and walked all the way towards the imperial capital, Ling Qi and the coachman took turns to rest in the carriage, and after walking for a long time, the carriage arrived outside the city of Mocheng. Ling Wushuang had nothing to do, so he looked outside the car.
"Ling Qi, Ling Qi, do you see if that is Qi Liguo's military camp?"
"Miss, it's too far away to see clearly." Following Ling Wushuang's gaze, he saw that about a thousand meters away from the carriage, he looked at a large area of black pressure from a distance, and there was smoke from the fire for cooking.
"Ling Wu, you come in."
"Miss." Ling Wu, who heard the voice, came in from outside the carriage.
"You go and take a sneak peek to see if it's Qi Liguo's military camp over there, I'll wait here." I suffered such a big loss from the general of Qi Liguo, and my father was also injured, if I can make a little mess for him before leaving, it can be regarded as helping my father, and it is not in vain for me to come here.
"Yes, miss, I'll go back when I go down." With that, he got out of the carriage and left with a little luck.
"I'm a little tired, let's rest in place for a while." Ling Wushuang said to the coachman outside. And the coachman also stopped the carriage as he said, because Ling Wushuang deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, so the coachman didn't know what Ling Wushuang asked Ling Wu to do, but he couldn't control it so much, the master's order was to escort the girl to Ling's mansion safely, so he just had to be a good coachman.
The carriage stopped in the shade of a tree, and Ling Wushuang ate and drank in the carriage, leisurely waiting for Ling Wu to come back.
After a while.
"Miss, I'm back."
"Well, come in!"
"How?"
"Miss, you guessed it right, that's Qi Liguo's military camp."
"Well, let me think about it." It's noon, and it's a little hard to get along in broad daylight.
"Ling Qi, you go into the city, go get some plant ash, saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur, I want to use it."
"Yes, miss." In the past, when I was in school, I knew how to make gunpowder, but now it is difficult to set fire directly in broad daylight, so I can only see if it can be made into gunpowder.
The driver outside the car saw Ling Wu go out for a while, and Ling Qi went out again for a while, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only wait honestly in place.
After waiting for about half an hour, Ling Qi came back and brought back a bag of things.
"Miss, everything has been obtained, and it took a while to get saltpeter."
"It's okay, take the things, let's go outside the carriage." Ling Wushuang found a hidden place, took the things apart, and laid them out one by one.
Ling Qi was staying by the side, and he saw that his young lady had found those things like medicines, this one grabbed a little, that one grabbed a little, and adjusted a lot of them. It became seven or eight black balls of about the same size.
"There's still a little bit left, just make a small one, and see how it goes." As he spoke, he clumped the rest into a cherry-sized ball.
"Give me the fire fold." Hearing this, Ling Qi took out the fire fold from his arms and handed it to Ling Wushuang.
"If you stay away, I don't know how it works." Seeing that Ling Qi was far away, Ling Wushuang picked up the fire fold, lit it, threw the ball hard, and immediately ran backwards. Hearing only a bang, Ling Wushuang immediately ran towards the place where the sound came from.
"It seems that the effect is not good, the sound is so small, and the explosion effect is not good. But it's definitely okay to light a fire, and besides, there are so many, and in broad daylight, you have to scare them. ”
"Ling Qi, did you see how I used this little thing just now?" Looking at the smile on his young lady's face, Ling Qi knew that the young lady must have something to do on her own.
"Well, I see it clearly."
"Okay, I'll tell you......" I don't know what Ling Wushuang said to Ling Qi, Ling Qi wrapped up those black balls, took them and left, and Ling Wushuang also returned to the carriage.
"Let's go, let's keep walking." Saying that, he didn't wait for Ling Qi, and directly let the carriage enter the city quickly.
Ling Wushuang rode into the city in a carriage, and he didn't know what the coachman said, the guard directly let him go, and when he entered the city, Ling Wushuang didn't stop and continued to walk forward.
The carriage had been traveling for about half an hour, and Ling Qi was seen chasing after him from a distance.
"Miss, the matter is done." Ling Qi, who caught up with the carriage, went directly into the carriage, and Ling Wu was also in the carriage, seeing the smile on Ling Qi's face when he came back, he was also very curious about what Miss asked Ling Qi to do.
"Well, how's that?"
"Miss, let me tell you, after those black balls were thrown in, their grain and grass must have been destroyed, and just in time, their cook was also there, and most of them were injured, and they were all grizzled, and they didn't know what was going on, and they laughed to death." Although Ling Qi deliberately lowered his voice to speak, the laughter still reached the coachman's ears.
"Well, you're doing a good job, I'll go back and give you more monthly money."
"Thank you, miss."
"Ling Wu also has it, both of you have made great contributions, and you will double your monthly money when you go back." Before leaving, it added a big mess to the Qi Liguo military camp, and Ling Wushuang felt a comfort in his heart!
"Thank you, miss." Knowing that Miss Ling Qi let Ling Qi go, she burned Qi Liguo's grain and grass, and she didn't know it, Ling Wu also admired her own Miss from the bottom of her heart, how dare she burn people's grain and grass if she wanted to put aside other boudoir misses, not to mention that it was still in broad daylight, worthy of the Ling family.
There was laughter in the car, and the driver outside the car was very miserable, alone blowing the wind outside, and there was no salary increase.
"Little brother, when I return home, I will also send you money, even if I thank you for your hard work in catching the car, your master probably won't give you a monthly money, I'll add it to you." Realizing that the three of them were laughing in the carriage, while the coachman's brother was struggling to catch the car outside, and there was no complaint, Ling Wushuang felt that he should also give people a salary increase, so he immediately lifted the curtain and said to the coachman.
"Thank you, girl." I didn't expect that the people inside would poke their heads out to talk to themselves, the coachman was a little embarrassed, he was originally an outsider, but the master let the girl catch the car, thinking that he would send the person back immediately, I didn't want to have too much involvement, I didn't expect the girl to take care of her own situation, and quickly replied to Ling Wushuang's words. This girl is so valued by the master, and she gave a token symbolizing the identity of the master's mother, and she is so good to her subordinates, if she really can't become the master's mother, she will protect her well, which is worthy of her kindness today.
"No, no, it should be me thank you, little brother, thank you for driving the carriage so smoothly, let Ling Qi and them do it for you in a while, and you can rest too." Ling Wushuang, who has been in the 21st century, has received an equal education for everyone, and he has to thank others for helping, so even if he comes here, he has not forgotten that no matter who he is, as long as he helps him, he will thank him very seriously.
"Thank you, girl, my subordinates are not tired now."
"Then in another hour, I'll let Ling Qi go for you."
"Yes, girl." In just half a day, the four people in the car went all the way in harmony.
