Du Ke came out of the palace, did not go to the Ministry of War Yamen, and went home directly.

On the way, he kept thinking. There are two groups of people who know that gunpowder will be transported from Yunxiang County to Yongzhou Yongjun. One is the people who were in the imperial study that day. These people are the emperor's henchmen and have seen the power of gunpowder. Wei Ting came back from Yunxiang County that day and brought back the finished gunpowder, so they all had seen the power of the finished gunpowder. At that time, there were several people in the imperial study.

The other part is the Yulin army headed by Yu Nian, a total of 101 people. However, those garrison troops only knew that they had to transport secret weapons and gunpowder from Yunxiang County to Yongzhou Barracks, but they had never seen the power of secret weapons.

So, did the people in the imperial study tell Manzi, or did someone in the imperial army tell Manzi?

Du Ke is not a fool, he naturally knows that it is very likely that he is someone from the imperial study. The Imperial Forest Army did not know the power of gunpowder, even if they told the barbarians that there was a secret weapon here, without knowing the power, would barbarians sneak into Qiguo to **** this secret weapon?

Therefore, Duko suspects that the person present that day told the barbarian about this.

Moreover, after the barbarians surrendered to some people, the remaining people were not afraid of the Yongzhou military camp at all, so at this time, why did the barbarians harass the border? Don't they want to live a stable life?

Duco rubbed his temples, he didn't care about these things. He's not on either side anyway, he's a royalist, he's neutral. No matter which side is unlucky, it has nothing to do with him.

Besides, at his age, the emperor is just in his prime. It is estimated that when he goes into office or dies, the emperor is still fine, so is it not good to be his royalist?

When Du Ke returned home, he wrote a letter to Qin Fang and asked the soldiers from Yunxiang County to send it back.

At the same time, Qin Fang finally found a clue after two days.

The one who provided the clue was an Orion. At this moment, Orion took everyone to the place where he set himself up.

"It's here." Orion said, "At the beginning of that day (three o'clock in the morning), the grass people couldn't sleep, so I came to see the trap to see if there was any prey. Unexpectedly, I didn't see the prey, but found that there was movement at the bottom of the cliff. So, I went to the bottom of the cliff to see, Cao Min couldn't see their appearance, one was too dark, Cao Min and them were separated by some distance; Caomin arranged the trap, one of them stepped into the trap, and one of his legs was caught by the trap made by Caomin. Then when they left, they took the trap made by Caomin with them. The trap They left with each other's feet in between."

Qin Fang picked up the trap on the ground: "You made this trap? It's a little different from other people's traps." Qin Fang had naturally seen traps, so he could see the difference between the prey's traps at a glance. place. The gears of this trap clip are a little different. They are barbs. If they are caught, they will be difficult to remove. It is estimated that they will be bloody. It hurts just thinking about it.

Hunt said: "Yes, this is a trap I sharpened myself."

Qin Fang nodded and returned the trap to the other party. After a few days of busywork, this was the clue. Then, they followed this clue to the town where the village was located. First, they went to the town's medical clinic to find out if there were any people who had their feet caught by hunting traps. People with pinched feet come and go trapping.

After asking, they said no.

There was no clue in the town, so Qin Fang took someone to the county seat. He not only asked the medical hall and blacksmith workshop in the county seat, but also the city gate guard in the county seat. As a result, he had never seen such a person.

"General, the clue is gone?" Yang Xiaowei was very unconvinced. After working hard for several days, he finally found such a clue, and it disappeared like this.

Qin Fang said: "There is no way. The other party wants to hide, but we can't find it at all. And the other party just injured his foot and changed his clothes. He can pretend to be a healthy person and leave here. We can't find it at all." The thing, had little hope. At least the gunpowder was not really intercepted by the other party, that was enough. "Let's go, go back to Yunxiang County."

At the same time, at the Yongzhou border, Han Zhen brought himself and the fifty cavalry from Yunxiang County to finally deliver the gunpowder safely.

Headed by Yonghe Hou, the prince of Yonghe Hou, all the guerrilla generals, and thousands of commanders all looked at the gunpowder.

The prince said, "Is this weapon really that powerful?"

Han Zhen recalled the scene he witnessed: "If you have enough things, you can blow up a mountain to the ground in an instant." The small bag that Qin Fang tried could blow up the sandbags. If there is enough... I can't believe it. . Unfortunately, this ore raw material is limited and not inexhaustible.

Just as the prince was about to speak, someone outside reported, "Master Hou, the Imperial Forest Army is here."

Royal Forest Army?

Yonghe Hou went out: "General Yu." Yu Nian was the guard of the Royal Forest Army, and the people around the emperor. Although Yonghe Hou was at the border all the year round, he would sometimes enter Beijing. The last time the new emperor ascended the throne, he went to Beijing and saw this General Yu.

Yu Nian said: "The young general sees Lord Hou." Yu Nian still respects the Yonghe Hou who is guarding the border, "Master Hou, the young general is here to verify with you for an important matter, and he has brought an important matter with him. information."

Yonghe Hou: "General Yu, please."

Yu Nian let the other imperial guards wait outside, he followed Yonghe Hou in, and happened to see the gunpowder box and Han Zhen and others inside. However, Yu Nian did not know that there was gunpowder in the box inside. After entering, Yu Nian said directly: "Master Hou, the matter is urgent, and the young general said it bluntly. We met the person who intercepted the gunpowder on the way to transport the gunpowder. The other party was wearing a barbarian's clothes. It's not someone else's disguise... General Qin said that the gunpowder has been sent by him, I wonder if this is possible?"

Yonghe Hou said: "The gunpowder has indeed been delivered..." After a while, Yonghe Hou immediately said to the prince, "Go and assemble the team, we will attack the barbarians today."

The reason why Yonghe Hou suddenly made such a decision, the prince immediately understood. Now that the barbarians know about the gunpowder, in case they have enough time to prepare for the next move, the Yonghe Army will take the opportunity to beat them down. At this moment, the barbarians probably don't know that the gunpowder has reached the Yongzhou barracks, so...

Prince: "Yes." He took the people inside and went back to another tent to discuss things.

After Yu Nian received confirmation from Yonghe Hou, he immediately left with someone. He did not stay in the Yongzhou military camp. One is that the emperor is still waiting for his return; the other is that the war is about to take place here, and he will be fine if he stays.

Qin Fang didn't know what was going on in Yongzhou, but Qin Fang had already returned to the General's Mansion.

Qin Linyang's child is one year old and two months old. He hasn't seen his father recently, but he misses him a little. On weekdays, he also slept with his father and mother, but before going to bed every day, his father would always play with him, either to make him cry or to hold him high. No one was holding him high these days, and Qin Linyang's children are a little nostalgic. .

Waking up early this morning, he crawled over his mother's body and looked to the other side of his mother. The person who lifted him up had not come back.

Yang Haiyan was naturally awake, and she looked at her son interestingly: "Baby, what are you doing?"

Qin Linyang looked at his mother, and then boldly went outside his mother. He didn't speak, and wanted to climb down along the edge of the bed.

Yang Haiyan hurriedly grabbed her son: "You can do it, you can even get out of bed."

Qin Linyang's little boy grinned and said, "Mother..."

The soft voice made Yang Haiyan's heart soften. "What?"

Qin Linyang went to hug his mother's hand and pulled it outside.

"This is still in bed." Yang Haiyan said.

Qin Linyang's little friend blinked, and then: "Dad...Dad..."

Pfft... Yang Haiyan laughed out loud: "Did you miss your father?"

When Qin Linyang heard this, he became even more anxious: "Dad...Dad..."

Yang Haiyan kissed his face: "Mother also misses your father and worries about your father, but your father has something to do with your father, we just think about it, and it is useless to worry about it, we can only wait well, don't worry about it. Let him worry. But when you grow up, you can help your dad."

Having said that, Yang Haiyan got up with her son.

Qin Fang had been away for several days. At the beginning, Yang Haiyan was not in a hurry, but it would be day after day, and Yang Haiyan was also nervous. After having breakfast today, I took my son to go outside. He didn't go far, just at the gate of the General's Mansion. The son practiced walking at the gate. He was tired from walking and ate some complementary food. The complementary food is ripe apples, which she scrapes into apple sand with a spoon for her son to eat. Speaking of which, this year's apples and pears were the first time they came out. The number of the first results was not large, less than one-fifth of the normal amount, but it was less than one-fifth of the normal amount, and it was enough for them to eat. One mu of apples and one mu of pears produced about 2,000 catties per mu in ancient times, and one-fifth was about 400 catties. For pears, the average yield per mu is about 3,000 catties, and one-fifth is 600 catties.

Although it is the first result, the taste is very sweet, and Yang Haiyan thinks it is related to the variety. Platform production, absolutely not bad.

When Qin Fang went to work, the apple was not yet ripe, and it only matured in the past two days.

"Mother...ah..." Qin Linyang opened his mouth. This sweet apple sand is his favorite.

Yang Haiyan scraped the apple sand to feed her son, and the little boy walked happily in the scooter. The eaves in front of the General's Mansion are relatively large, and there is no sun when walking here, so the children can walk happily. Moreover, across some roads, you can still see pedestrians, which is better than in the general's mansion. Children like to have fun.
