After Xie Ming'an left, time passed day by day.

He didn't seem to have the habit of writing letters, and Shen Ningning could only wait for him to come back before he could know the result.

During this period, the sweet potatoes planted by Dong Sanhua achieved great results.

Shen Ningning hurriedly recommended her method to the emperor.

Zhang Liuye and his hard work were burned to ashes, although they were sad, but there were still many people hungry.

The emperor no longer hesitated, and immediately arranged for the great eunuch to start preparing the greenhouse and storing soil to raise sweet potatoes.

The sweet potatoes grown in Xiangyun Village were all taken out by Shen Ningning for relief.

The people around the capital were finally able to eat all at once.

Waiting for Xie Ming'an to return to Beijing, Shen Ningning not only went to the palace to accompany Mo Lingwei to write, but also paid more attention to his condition.

The strange thing is that from the moment the golden bead turned into the sun and appeared in the sky, Mo Lingwei rarely had a cold attack again.

The emperor thought that this must be an auspicious celestial phenomenon, so he was more convinced of what Shen Ningning said.

The little one is also working hard to loosen the soil for the golden bead tree.

This tree is much more squeamish than the original dark cloud tree.

It doesn't seem to like a lot of rain, so every time the rain falls in the fairyland, it grows a little slower.

But when the sun comes out of the fairyland, it suddenly grows brown chestnut-like fruits.

Shen Ningning already has more than sixty of them, and I believe that it won't be long before he can save a hundred, so that the dark clouds will disperse and the sun will reappear.

End this icy world.

It's almost November, the world is turning to winter, and the cold wind of the past is even colder.

So the Chinese Academy simply stopped the course.

Shen Ningning could only go to study with the crazy scholar again.

In her spare time, she visited Jiang Zhi a few more times.

I heard that Jiang Zhi went to the fire barracks, and she studied hard all day long, and she was very busy.

The little guy went several times, and Jiang Zhi was reciting the prescription.

What sulfur two coins, yellow dan one or two......

Every time Shen Ningning went, she was embarrassed to disturb her, and sat obediently on the side, listening to her recite.

However, the more she listened, the more she felt that the materials Jiang Zhi said were so familiar.

Shen Ningning walked to the table and looked curiously at the little powder that Jiang Zhi used to study, and there was a piece of paper on it, which read: gunpowder.

She just wanted to stretch out her little hand to touch it, but Jiang Zhi's face changed.

"Oops! Sister Ningning, don't touch it. She was so frightened that she forgot to pretend to be a teenager's voice, and rushed over with an arrow and carried Shen Ningning to a safe place.

The little guy blinked with big eyes and looked innocent.

"Sister Jiang Zhi, is this poisonous?" There was no one around, so she didn't hide Jiang Zhi's identity.

Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "It's not poisonous, but it's more powerful than poison!" ”

"On the day I first came, the young general found a master to teach me, but I didn't expect that the master accidentally blew up a house with gunpowder!"

"Don't underestimate this little thing, it can make the enemy army frightened, and besides, Changliu Kingdom has sent Xizuo to us many times, just to steal the gunpowder recipe."

Shen Ningning was surprised: "The gunpowder is so powerful?" ”

"Of course! If the weight is less, it can be made into fireworks, and if the weight is more, it is a fierce weapon that can conquer the city! Jiang Zhi's eyes lit up when she said this.

She said, "If the master who taught me in a moment is free, I will take you to meet him." ”

"You can see him if you look at him, he has been dealing with gunpowder for thirty years, and he has been as cautious as he has been for thirty years, but he still accidentally had three accidents, and the hair on his forehead has blown up."

Jiang Zhi said that Shen Ningning couldn't help but sneer.

She covered her mouth with her small hands, and her eyes were bright: "It's so dangerous, why do you still want to learn?" ”

Jiang Zhi suddenly said: "I can't wait to learn faster, I didn't understand it before, but now that I have come into contact with it, I know the charm of this gunpowder, which is really endless." ”

"Our arsenal, once we go to the battlefield, we have to hold the gunpowder, rush to the front of the battle, wait for the opportunity to throw the gunpowder out, if we are not careful, we will be sacrificed, but——"

Jiang Zhi paused, stretched out his hand, and pointed to a towering pillar outside.

The pillars are tall, about two stories high.

Shen Ningning walked outside and looked up.

Under the clouds, in the cold wind of the ice and snow, the towering pillar was copper-colored, and it was engraved with dense names of people.

Jiang Zhi looked up, as if she was a little yearning.

She muttered: "Those sacrificed soldiers can be engraved here, and follow the history of Cangyun Country through the ages." ”

"If I am fortunate enough to be remembered by future generations, I feel my blood boiling just thinking about it."

Jiang Zhi looked at Shen Ningning with a smile.

Her face was beautiful and full of heroism: "Sister Ningning, I have found what I yearn for and like, of course I have to go all out!" ”

Shen Ningning was inspired by her spirit.

The little guy suddenly said glutinously: "Okay! Sister Jiang Zhi, you will definitely succeed in your studies. ”

Jiang Zhi laughed happily at first.

Soon, her smile retracted and she sighed silently.

"It's just that Cangyun Country has a lot of bad luck, first drought, and then heavy snow, and there are not many materials in the treasury that can make gunpowder."

Shen Ningning blinked her long eyelashes and thought about it.

In her fairyland, there is finished gunpowder, which accounts for half of the entire hall!

Moreover, even if she takes it out, there will be a steady stream of automatic replenishment in the fairyland.

The little guy scratched his face.

Do you want to find an opportunity to donate to the emperor's uncle?

However, her gunpowder and Jiang Zhi's gunpowder don't seem to be exactly the same.

The little one came home at night, opened a packet of gunpowder in the fairyland, and counted the materials inside.

than Jiang Zhi's, there is more saltpeter.

Could it be that her gunpowder has a different effect?

Shen Ningning decided to find an opportunity, try it himself, and if it was okay, he would donate it to the emperor's uncle.

The third day of November.

Second Mrs. Xie was released from prison.

Shen Ningning came to Xie Mansion for dinner and saw the long-lost Second Mrs. Xie.

Her face was much haggard, and her body was much thinner.

The three months of hard work in prison made her feel like a different person, and her eyes lacked the spirit of being fierce and aggressive.

As soon as she saw Shen Ningning, Second Mrs. Xie was like a mouse seeing a cat, and she was terrified!

During the dinner in the evening, Second Mrs. Xie kept holding the bowl and lowered her head to eat.

didn't even dare to say a word to Shen Ningning.

Especially, thinking that Concubine Rong was not the opponent of the little guy, and was put in the cold palace by Shen Ningning, Second Mrs. Xie was even more afraid.

After finishing the meal, in front of Shen Ningning, Second Mrs. Xie took the initiative to flatter and said-

"I really did too many mistakes in the witch Gu matter before, and I realized my mistakes."

"Big brother, Xianggong, Ning Ning, from tomorrow, please supervise."

"I will go to the ancestral hall every day to sprinkle and sweep, and confess to my ancestors, and in the future, I will definitely keep to myself and never come here again."

Xie Suzhi took Shen Ningning's little hand and said lightly, "I hope you will do what you say." ”

After they left, Second Lady Xie hurriedly looked at Second Master Xie's expression.

Unexpectedly, Second Master Xie was even more indifferent than Xie Suzhi.

He didn't give her a straight eye.

"Repentance to your ancestors is not to punish you, but to hope that you will be worthy of your conscience."

"Stop doing dirty things and set a good example for Yuan Jiu."

"Otherwise, how can I be embarrassed to talk to my eldest brother and ask him to take Yuan Jiu back?" Second Master Xie said coldly, and was helped away by the little servant.

Second Mrs. Xie was not only uncomfortable, but also surprised.

Xie Dizhi, the second master, was he able to stand up?

She hurriedly called the maid to inquire.

The maid said: "This is all thanks to our county lord, who pulls the divine doctor to acupuncture the second master every day, and after heating it with the spring water on the mountain, he soaks the legs of the second master, and the effect is very good!" ”

Second Mrs. Xie's eyes flashed, and she murmured in her heart: This Shen Ningning is so capable?
