Above the border.
Liu Yijin stood outside the tent with an anxious expression: "Sisters, can you go in and announce that Liu Yijin wants to see you?"
The female guards standing on both sides of the tent glanced indifferently: "Kneel down if you are asked to do so. Whenever the eldest princess sees you, she will naturally let you in."
"If I don't call you, just wait here obediently."
After the two waitresses finished speaking, they never looked at Liu Yijin again.
Liu Yijin said anxiously: "No, this matter is very important. I must see the eldest princess immediately."
But no matter how loud Liu Yijin shouted, the two maids would not pay attention to him.
This made Liu Yijin feel a deep sense of frustration.
Seeing the time passing by, Liu Yijin was really anxious and was about to rush in.
"stop!"
The eyes of the two female guards were cold, and the swords in their hands were placed directly in front of Liu Yijin: "Without the order of the eldest princess, trespassers will be killed without mercy!"
Liu Yijin's face was solemn: "It is related to the death of General Wu Zuo. I want to see the eldest princess immediately."
"The eldest princess is not here."
"Then where did the eldest princess go?"
The waitress shook her head: "I don't know."
"Don't know?" Liu Yijin looked at the waitress in confusion: "Don't you know where the eldest princess has gone?"
"I don't know. We can't know the whereabouts of the eldest princess."
"What should I do?"
"You can wait here."
Liu Yijin sighed helplessly.
At this time, a female soldier came over in a hurry: "Master Liu, the eldest princess invites you to come."
Liu Yijin left in a hurry with the female soldier.
Liu Yijin followed the female soldier to a row of heavily guarded rooms at the back of the military camp, and looked at some men and women wearing white gowns coming and going in confusion.
The female soldier said respectfully: "General, please come in!"
Liu Yijin walked directly in. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The scene in front of him almost made him shout: "Is this here?"
The eldest princess waved from not far away: "Liu Yijin, come here."
Liu Yijin hurriedly walked over: "Eldest Princess, what are you doing?"
"Can't you see?"
Liu Yijin suppressed the panic in his heart: "Is this the place where gunpowder is made?"
The eldest princess nodded: "That's right, otherwise what do you think this princess is doing in a bitter and cold place like Border Pass? Could it be that she came here to have fun?"
Liu Yijin smiled bitterly: "Looking at the scale of your place, it's quite big."
The eldest princess smiled lightly and said, "Didn't you already tell His Majesty that you want to open a gunpowder manufacturing factory in the border area?"
'Is this the gunpowder factory your Majesty gave me? '
The eldest princess nodded: "Yes, this is the gunpowder manufacturing factory your Majesty has prepared for you. Liu Yijin, come here and take a look."
When Liu Yijin followed him to another room and saw the wooden barrels and wooden boxes stored inside, he couldn't help but look dull: "Are these all gunpowder?"
"You can go over and have a look."
When Liu Yijin opened these barrels, he couldn't help but be stunned: "So much gunpowder?"
"This is only part of them. Others are gunpowder weapons made based on the drawings left by Emperor Gaozu."
When Liu Yijin looked at the contents of the wooden box, he felt a coldness that penetrated his bones.
Because the dark and round things in front of me look too much like the landmines of later generations: "Are these things really left by Emperor Gaozu?"
"Of course." The eldest princess's face showed a trace of pride: "Gaozu was an unparalleled person back then. The things in his mind could be said to be thousands of years ahead of the entire dynasty. Many of the things recorded in his letters were surprising. Breathtaking. Simply, simply incredible.”
Liu Yijin suppressed his heartbeat: "You mean Gaozu is a person who came from time to time?"
"What time travel?" The eldest princess looked at Liu Yijin suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Liu Yijin hurriedly said: "Nothing, nothing. Can I read the letters left by Emperor Gaozu?"
The eldest princess shook her head and said, "No."
"Why? Shouldn't these things be inherited and carried forward by future generations?"
There was a trace of regret on the face of the eldest princess: "All the letters of Gaozu were buried in the imperial mausoleum with Gaozu."
"Nothing left at all?"
The eldest princess shook her head: "No, according to Gaozu's last wish, everything related to Gaozu was sent to be buried with him."
Liu Yijin blinked a few times: "Eldest Princess, can you tell me where Gaozu is buried?"
"What do you want to do?"
Liu Yijin rubbed his hands and said, "I want to dig a grave!"
The eldest princess slapped Liu Yijin on the head, "What are you thinking? That is the tomb of Emperor Gaozu. If you dare to dig out the dragon veins of our Daqian Dynasty, I will squeeze your balls out for you!"
Liu Yijin didn't expect the eldest princess to say such sarcastic words, and was extremely embarrassed at the moment: "Eldest Princess, you are a woman after all, how can you say such sarcastic words?"
The eldest princess glared at Liu Yijin, turned around and walked out: "Tell me, why are you looking for me this time?"
Liu Yijin frowned slightly: "Elder Princess, General Wuzuo is dead."
"What?"
The eldest princess was cold, and then looked at Liu Yijin in shock: "What did you say? How did General Wuzuo die?"
Liu Yijin told the story exactly.
The eldest princess' face was cold; "Liu Yijin, I gave you the general in my hands, and you actually let him die?"
"And there are three thousand soldiers and horses!"
"Liu Yijin, what do you do for food?"
Liu Yijin hurriedly said: "Princess, please don't lose your temper first. I'm here just to discuss this matter with you."
"Is there anything else to discuss!" Gong Hanyan pointed to the things in the room: "Take these things and flatten the Maitreya Buddhism for me!"
Liu Yijin was startled: "Eldest Princess, it's not appropriate to use these directly."
"Is there anything inappropriate?" Gong Hanyan raised an eyebrow: "The best way to deal with beasts like Maitreya Buddhism is to kill them together!"
"But there will be many ordinary people here. The eldest princess's move is too arbitrary."
"Arbitrary?" Gong Hanyan's eyes were cold, and she pointed at Liu Yijin's nose and cursed, "That man was not born from his parents? What soldier does not have a wife, children, children, brothers and sisters?"
"Nowadays, there are internal and external troubles, Daxia is knocking on the pass, and I have been recruiting troops for days. Some people are still unwilling to join the army to serve the country. I have endured it and asked Your Majesty to mobilize troops from within the pass!"
"Liu Yijin, why does Maitreya Buddhism develop so rapidly?"
Liu Yijin felt bitter inside.
Gong Hanyan sneered and said: "Compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth, the people you pitied joined Maitreya Buddhism and were more cruel than the real soldiers of Maitreya Buddhism. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, and were willing to be killed by others. Taking advantage of and destroying my foundation, you want me to be merciful now?"
"Liu Yijin, do you have a pig's brain?"
Gong Hanyan was trembling with anger: "General Wu Zuo led his troops and comforted the people. Whose hands did he die in?"
Liu Yijin opened his mouth and was speechless.
"Are you deaf? I'm talking to you!"
Liu Yijin took a deep breath: "He died at the hands of Maitreya Buddhism."
"Whose hands did those three thousand soldiers and horses die in?"
"It is also the hand of Maitreya Buddhism."
Gong Hanyan said angrily: "Do they deserve to die?"
Liu Yijin looked bitter.
"Liu Yijin, look what you have been doing these past three days? Maitreya Buddhism is getting more and more popular, and the number of people gathering is getting larger and larger, and it has even grown from thousands to tens of thousands? What, do you want to use your etiquette, justice and shame? To educate them?"
"Don't you want to use your kindness to influence them?"
Liu Yijin sighed in his heart: "Eldest Princess, I know what you mean, it's just my opinion."
"Without you, this princess will give you two options. First, lead your troops out of the city and make the border blood-stained, letting you watch the people around you die one by one."
"Second, I will give you three more days to pacify Maitreya Buddhism in the border area and find out the person behind the scenes!"
"Otherwise, you can go back to where you came from. There will be no fools under this princess's tent!"
Liu Yijin was silent for a moment: "Elder Princess, do you know Long Yu?"
"What's wrong?"
"Zhang Mang, under Long Yu, may be an important figure in Maitreya Buddhism."
"Um."
Seeing the eldest princess's salty words, Liu Yijin was slightly stunned: "Didn't the eldest princess realize anything was wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
Gong Hanyan turned around and walked out: "Long Yu is the illegitimate son of the Ninth Prince. This man has worked hard step by step, step by step from a soldier to the current training envoy of the Suzhou Regiment. He holds tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. If you add the current Situation, he has almost 80,000 soldiers and horses in his hands."
Liu Yijin was shocked: "Eldest Princess, you know everything?"
Gong Hanyan shook his head, "I don't know anything. You did all this and it has nothing to do with me."
Liu Yijin was stunned: "Is this your intention or His Majesty's?"
"Does it make a difference?"
Gong Hanyan looked at Liu Yijin with cold eyes: "If Maitreya Buddhism cannot be eradicated in three days, you, the general, will go with the title of Commander of the Wolf Guard."
Seeing Gong Hanyan turn and leave, the guards and soldiers who followed him not far away were also extremely indifferent to him. He strode forward: "I want gunpowder!"
