Chapter 356: All Interested in Thunderbolts

Wei Qingwan leaned her head against Qi Zhen’s chest with a happy face.

She felt very relieved and content in this moment.

Immediately after that, Qi Zhen suddenly asked, “By the way, is your sister working for the Seventh Prince?”

Wei Qingwan raised her head, deep down she was very unhappy that Qi Zhen had mentioned Wei Qingruo.

In her eyes, Qi Zhen is her light, bringing her warmth and saving her from the abyss, while Wei Qing Ruo is the person she hates the most at the moment, and the culprit who caused her to fall into the quagmire.

Wei Qingwan carefully inquired, “Why is Mr. Qi asking about my sister?”

“What I mean is that if she works for the Seventh Prince, it might have some impact on our affairs, you know that I am cousins with the Sixth Prince, and the relationship between the Seventh Prince and my royal cousin is ……”

Even the commoners who do not understand the politics of the dynasty also know more or less some of the rivalry between the sixth prince and the seventh prince, not to mention Wei Qingwan how to say that is also from the count’s house of the young lady.

Wei Qingwan hurriedly explained, “Sister she is not doing something for the seventh prince, she is doing something for county princess Jingmin, this time the opening up of the land for disaster relief, the whole of Taizhou province is involved, the seventh prince is just one of them, and it can’t be counted as doing something for the seventh prince.”

“Oh? In that case, I am relieved.” Qi Zhen smiled gently.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Qingwan nodded her head, her heart relaxing slightly.

And then Qi Zhen said carelessly, “It would be better if your sister could work for His Sixth Highness.”

“Why did Eunuch Qi say that?” Wei Qingwan’s heart tightened once again.

“Now that the Emperor has sent the Sixth Palace down to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, it’s really a time when manpower is needed, if the Wei family can help His Highness the Sixth to make a mark, in the future, no matter if it’s in your Wei family, or in the matter of the two of us, it’s a great help.” Qi Zhen analyzed.

At that Wei Qingwan pursed her lips, her eyes complex with emotions.

After that, Qi Zhen smiled brightly and said, “You don’t have to take it to heart, I just mentioned this matter, you and I should work hard for it, and other people can’t ask for anything. What’s more, it’s your sister, what she wants to do is her business, it’s not good to intervene.”

Wei Qingwan nodded slightly, countless thoughts skimming through her mind.

Qi Zhen comforted, “Don’t think too much, although there is some bad reputation outside, but my father has never been able to argue with me, as long as I insist, he will definitely agree.”

“Uh-huh.” Wei Qingwan answered softly, Qi Zhen’s comfort was useful, but there was still a hint of uneasiness hidden in the bottom of her heart.

After the two of them had a small chat, Qi Zhen left.

After Qi Zhen left, Wei Qingwan sat alone in her room, her face still gloomy.

Cui He had a smile on her face, “Miss, Duke Qi left you a lot of things and said that he would find a way to let the master take you back, why are you still sad?”

Wei Qingwan didn’t reply to Cui He’s words, but instead glanced at the things Qi Zhen had sent over behind Cui He.

Then he said to Cui He, “You pick something worthwhile that I can’t use to sell, and then try to find a way to help me hunt for that medicine that can remove the scars.”

Cui He was busy nodding her head, “The slave girl will go and do it now.”

After Cui He left, Wei Qing Wan’s frown still didn’t stretch, and her mind frequently recalled those words from Qi Zhen just now.

Not only did Wei Qingwan not expect Wei Qingruo to be able to contribute to her marriage to Duke Qi, she also didn’t want Wei Qingruo to be able to work for the Sixth Prince, and she didn’t even want Wei Qingruo to come into contact with the Sixth Prince, Duke Qi, and the others.

So she wouldn’t say a single word to Wei Qingruo about what Eunuch Qi had just proposed.

For the marriage between her and Duke Qi, she believed that Duke Qi would be fine, and there was no need to use Wei Qingruo.

It was just that for some reason, there was some vague worry in her heart that Wei Qingruo would sabotage her marriage to Mr. Qi.

Chu Lan was currently in the Yu Sheng Tea House.

He hadn’t really come to drink tea and relax, he couldn’t relax as far as the current situation was concerned.

It’s just that he doesn’t trust anyone else in the Taizhou government, and the barracks have become a place of suspicion after the last grain robbery came up.

Therefore, he specially hid in the tea room of Yu Sheng Tea Cuisine to discuss things with Lu Yuhong and some of his close friends.

On the tea table by the window, Chu Lan flipped through the recent military records, and Lu Yuhong, who was sitting across from him, came over semi-curious.

“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this layout map?” Lu Yuhong asked while looking at it carefully.

Although Lu Yuhong is not able to write, but martial arts is still inherited their Lu family’s good blood, layout map map and so on is also a look at the understanding.

But he didn’t see anything wrong with it from the content of the cloth.

“There’s no problem with the map itself, but this layout map is from the last time we fought the Japanese.” Chu Lan said.

“It’s the one in April when our army suffered heavy losses and Wei Mingting almost died?” Lu Yuhong nodded.

“Wei Mingting mentioned this the day before yesterday when he approached me for a discussion, and he suspected that our army’s actions at the time might have been leaked to the Japanese, causing their raid to become a sheep in a tiger’s mouth.”

“What do you mean? Someone in the Anti-Japanese Army is collaborating with the enemy?” Lu Yuhong’s face was shocked, which immediately turned into anger, “They are all citizens of my Heavenly Kingdom, why would they collaborate with the enemy and sell out their country?”

“Because of interest, because of money.” Chu Lan replied.

“Sure?”

“Not yet.” Chu Lan was looking for a breakthrough, but hadn’t gotten any clear clues so far.

It seems that it is not an easy task to find out this spy hiding in the middle of the barracks.

“Then you’d better not look at it first, I see that you’ve seen this early in the morning, why don’t you have a cup of tea and relax yourself.” Lu Yuhong suggested.

Saying that, he reached out and ripped away the layout map in front of Chu Lan and changed the topic, “Why don’t you tell me about the Thunderbolt Bomb? Is that thunderbolt really that powerful that it can blow up a group of well-trained soldiers all at once?”

Lu Yuhong was a bit more interested in thunderbolts than in studying the layouts.

“I’ve also never seen the scene when the thunderbolt exploded with my own eyes, I’ve only seen the remains of those corpses after they were blown up, and I’m just as eager as you are to see with my own eyes what the thunderbolt looks like when it’s used.” Chu Lan was also full of interest and curiosity about thunderbolts.

“Haven’t you already found the shipbroker who can supply the thunderbolts?”

“It was found, and it will arrive at Taizhou Prefecture on the fourth day of August, and after staying in the Prefecture for a night, it will meet us at the barracks the following day.” Chu Lan replied.

“Can you let me see it when the time comes?” Lu Yuhong was filled with curiosity.

“Not yet.”

“Then it’s a deal, I’ll accompany you there on the fifth day of August!” Lu Yuhong had an excited look on his face, already looking forward to the legendary powerful new weapon.

The next morning, Wei Jin also came to listen to Pine Court to find Wei Ruo.

Seeing Wei Jin Yi standing in the doorway, a smile could not help but appear on Wei Ruo’s face.

“Good morning, Second Brother.”

“Well, good morning.” Wei Jin also answered, immediately after telling Wei Ruo the good news, “The fish has taken the bait.”
