Chapter 215 Firearms
He Jingheng looked at the flames rising into the sky in the distance with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Firearms were popular in all countries, but the bombs they made with saltpeter were not only weak in power, but also difficult to store, and even improper handling could cause an explosion.
After suffering several losses, they stopped using firearms on the battlefield. If they were lucky, they could win the battle. If they were unlucky, their camp would be blown up before the enemy attacked.
However, the firearm in her hand was completely different from what they had used before.
Helan Yun looked at the billowing smoke in the distance, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
It's over, it's over.
All the soldiers he brought with him were wiped out.
The next moment, several figures stood up from the thick smoke, supporting each other and walking away.
At this moment, a group of people wearing black robes appeared, wielding their swords and beheading the Beiling soldiers who had managed to survive.
Liu Qin and his brothers from Yunxue Village quickly came to Shang Ruoyi.
"master."
Shang Ruoyi looked at their messy appearance and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"
"Master, we heard the commotion down the mountain, so we wanted to go down to support them. But when we were halfway there, we were ambushed." He gritted his teeth, suppressing the anger in his voice, "That group of people were very skilled and killed many of our brothers. Later, the commotion down the mountain became louder and louder. I don't know what instructions those people got, so they flew away. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have died there."
Shang Ruoyi's heart sank when she heard this.
It seems that there are too many people who want to wipe out Prince Ding's Palace.
She came to Helan Yun and kicked his injured knee, making him scream in pain.
"Your people are actually setting up an ambush along the way?"
Helan Yun was sweating from the pain and rolled over with his knees in his arms: "Why set an ambush? Didn't you blow up all my brothers?"
It has come to this point, there is no need for him to lie, Shang Ruoyi understood in her heart, she waved her hand and said to the secret guard beside her: "Watch them carefully."
Helan Yun only injured his knee, while Wu Xihan was seriously injured but still alive.
After detaining the two of them, He Jingheng and Shang Ruoyi came to the backyard, where the old princess and others were waiting. When they saw that it was them who came in, they finally put their minds at ease.
"Heng'er, Heng'er, you're back." Qin rushed over, tears streaming down her face: "Those thieves just now..."
Before she finished her words, she suddenly realized that He Jingheng was standing. She said in shock: "Heng'er, your legs!"
Everyone's eyes fell on He Jingheng.
"Brother, is your leg healed?"
He Jingheng smiled and glanced at Shang Ruoyi behind him: "Thanks to the treatment of the miracle doctor, both legs have healed now."
Qin followed his gaze and fell on Shang Ruoyi, and she suddenly understood.
I guess the miracle doctor his son was talking about is his daughter-in-law.
"Ruyi."
"Mom, it's getting late today and everyone is exhausted. We should go back to our rooms and get some rest."
"Where's Yunyi? Have you seen Yunyi?" Qin said anxiously, "Just now Jingxi ran out to kill the enemy, and Yunyi followed him out of concern. But when Jingxi came back, Yunyi is still missing."
Shang Ruoyi comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I have rescued Yunyi. She only suffered some minor injuries, nothing serious."
After hearing Shang Ruoyi's words, Qin's heart was completely relieved.
Now she only has these two children. If anything goes wrong, she really won't be able to survive.
"Jing Heng, what was that terrifying fire rising to the sky outside just now?" The old princess is still frightened.
The women in Dingguo's mansion were much stronger than those in other mansions, but they had never seen such a horrific scene. After all, they were women in seclusion, unlike the men fighting on the battlefield. Even the secret guards like Yunqi, who had been through life and death with He Jingheng, were frightened when they suddenly saw the firearms thrown by Shang Ruoyi, let alone the women.
"Don't worry, grandma. This is the firearm developed by Ruoyi. Thanks to her, otherwise it would be difficult to escape today."
Upon hearing this, the old princess said to Shang Ruoyi: "Child, thank you very much today. It is you who saved our entire He family."
"Grandma, we are a family, there is no need to be so formal."
Just then, Yunqi walked forward, holding a child in his arms.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
“Jingheng, this child…” The old princess hesitated to speak. She looked at He Jingheng and saw him lowering his head. Her heart sank. Could it be that this child was his illegitimate child outside?
When she thought of this possibility, the old princess couldn't help but get furious. For the first time in her life, she picked up the crutch beside her and was about to hit He Jingheng.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
You know, He Jingheng has been the apple of everyone's eye in Dingguo Palace since he was born. Whenever the old princess mentioned her grandson, her face was full of pride.
What happened to make her use crutches?
"Unfilial son, how could you do such a thing? Are you worthy of Ruoyi? Are you worthy of the ancestors of the He family?" the old princess said angrily.
"Grandma." Shang Ruoyi took the child and said with a smile, "Grandma, you misunderstood. We picked him up."
"You found it?"
The old princess fixed her gaze on the child's face. At this moment, the child was staring with wide eyes, looking around curiously.
"Oh, this child is so cute and well-behaved." Lin said with a smile, "He doesn't cry or make a fuss."
There hadn't been a child this big in Dingguo Palace for many years, and everyone gathered around. Even Cong Fangzhi went over to take a look out of curiosity, and then touched her bulging belly.
"I believe the baby in my belly will be just as cute after it is born." Her eyes were full of love for the unborn baby.
Shang Ruoyi originally wanted to give the child to Qin to raise, but Qin had not recovered from her last illness, and everyone found that the baby would not cry unless it was in Shang Ruoyi's arms. She had no choice but to take the child back to the yard.
It was late at night when everyone left. Shang Ruoyi treated He Yunyi and Yuntian's wounds and distributed a lot of pills to them.
She returned to her room, exhausted.
He Jingheng sat at the desk, his eyes fixed on the book, but he didn't turn a page for a long time.
Before his eyes, there kept flashing the firearms thrown by Shang Ruoyi and the extremely small black hidden weapon held in her hand. That was clearly another kind of firearm, one that could be held in the hand and had extremely strong lethality, several times more powerful than a hidden weapon. Where did she get it from?
Shang Ruoyi looked at the book in his hand and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that the prince has the habit of reading books upside down."
He Jingheng came to his senses and found that the book in his hand was turned upside down. He was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile and put the book down.
