Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 272 Explosives

Tuoba Xiong always liked to fight, but he happened to meet the Su family army. He was always in a weak position, and he won less and lost more after fighting for many years.

A victory is urgently needed to consolidate one's position.

Tuoba Xiong's staff also spoke:

"Since the Su family army is at the end of its rope, we cannot let them have a chance to escape. This general is thinking of sending troops to pursue them and give them a wake-up call.

We also took the opportunity to occupy Yangzhou City, which is also a great achievement. Our two princes in Xiliang are fighting for power, but our second prince is suppressed by the eldest prince. "

"But...what if we are too hasty? If we just surround them, let them use up their food supplies, and then chase them..."

The staff member hurriedly said:

"General, General Murong, who is under the command of the eldest prince, has successively captured two cities of the Great Zhou in the south. If this continues, I am afraid that the emperor will..."

"Okay. The Mobei Army is desperate. Let's chase them."

……

Su Buli has already received a letter from the capital.

He didn't expect that Su Rutang would become the queen, and Shang Yan would become the emperor and lead the army in person.

The spy rode over.

Told Su Buli that there was movement in Xiliang.

Su Buli deliberately brought hundreds of people with him and exposed his location to the spies from Xiliang.

He and the wolf owl squatted by the stream and caught small fish.

There are no small fish.

The wolf owl stepped into the water, and the stream water splashed all over Su Buli's head and face.

"Ah Xiao."

The sound of iron hooves rang out.

Tuoba Xiong led his iron-clad men to chase after him. "Hahaha... Su Buli. I wonder where you can escape to? You are escaping with only a few hundred soldiers? You were chased out by your brother."

Su Buli hurriedly mounted his horse.

"Wolf Owl, mount your horse."

Wolf Owl also climbed onto the horse.

"Walk."

Su Buli did not fight with the people from Xiliang, as if he did not expect to meet Tuoba Xiong's people.

This made Tuoba Xiong very happy.

Order people to chase after him.

The deputy general standing by felt uneasy when he saw Su Buli running eastward. "General, let's not chase him."

"I have more than 8,000 men with me, how can I be afraid of a few hundred of them?" Tuoba Xiong's eyes were filled with anger, "If you are a coward, get out of here."

"Su Buli, this general will kill you without a single piece of armor left."

Tuoba Xiong led his men to chase after him.

Su Buli's men fled in a panic, running everywhere, and some even scattered.

Tuoba Xiong was chasing after him relentlessly.

Su Buli saw that they had arrived at the place, and pulled the reins of the horse. He turned around and looked at Tuoba Xiong, "Tuoba Xiong, today is the time for you and me to fight to the death."

Tuoba Xiong looked at the low bushes on both sides.

He showed a determined smile, "It's you who will die, not me."

The sound of shouting and killing nearby was deafening.

There were Ma Feng's men hiding in the low bushes, which made Tuoba Xiong feel bad. Sweat dripped down his temples involuntarily, "Su Buli, you deliberately led me here."

Su Buli changed his image of a rough man in Mobei.

He showed a gentle smile and chuckled, "So what if I deliberately led you here? All is fair in war."

The soldiers of Mobei killed the enemy with more ferocious force than usual.

They pulled the trip rope.

The Xiliang cavalry was constantly tripped, and the soldiers kept cutting the horses' legs with their scimitars. They took the opportunity to slit the throats of the Xiliang people.

Wolf owls are like werewolves in the snowy mountains.

The twin swords were particularly agile in his hands as he moved through the Xiliang army.

Open the bow left and right.

The wolf owl is extremely strong.

It is much stronger than Su Buli. In Su Buyi's words, wolf owl is born to be on the battlefield.

Seeing him, it was as if I saw the young general of the Su family again.

……

Here they are besieging Tuoba Xiong.

Liu Du led his men to attack Tuoba Xiong's grain warehouse. After killing many people, Liu Du's men took away all the grain they could.

The food that could not be taken away was burned.

He was determined not to leave any food or fodder for Tuoba Xiong.

Su Buli failed to kill Tuoba Xiong after all, and he fled to the southwest in a hurry under the protection of his personal guards. There were about three or four hundred soldiers following Tuoba Xiong.

Wolf Owl volunteered to chase after him.

"Don't chase poor bandits."

Su Buli touched Langxiao's head and said, "You will be another general of our Su family in the future."

Wolf Owl avoided Su Buli's touch and said, "Second brother, give me twenty men and I will tear Tuoba Xiong's head off for you."

Su Buli: "..."

"There are three or four hundred of them."

"I only need twenty people." Wolf Owl held up two fingers. "If you can't bring them back, I'll tear off my head and use it as a stool for you."

"Give you twenty people. But...it doesn't matter if you can't bring them back."

Wolf Owl grinned:

"kill him."

Wolf Owl counted twenty people and left.

……

Su Rutang waited for Song Huaiyan.

After Song Huaiyan entered the palace, she lived there and watched Su Rutang dismiss several batches of the previous emperor's concubines.

"The late emperor was really powerful. He kept so many beautiful girls in the palace. But they dared not go out. The world outside is so broad." Song Huaiyan sat on the couch in Lizheng Hall.

The running around in recent days has made her face much paler.

Holding the cake in his hand, he kept putting it into his mouth. "Sister, I thought about it. If I want to make the neighboring countries shut up completely, I need absolute strength, and it would be best if I could use weapons that scare them."

Su Rutang poured her a cup of tea.

"Take your time. What do you think?"

"Explosives." Song Huaiyan swallowed the pastry in his mouth and drank half a cup of tea from the cup.

"Explosives?"

Su Rutang didn't understand.

"Well, explosives. Those used in fireworks and firecrackers are naturally not enough. I want to take people to experiment." Song Huaiyan took off his outer coat and lay on the couch.

Su Rutang became interested.

I also took off my shoes.

Leaning next to Song Huaiyan, the two talked face to face about explosives.

Song Huaiyan said a few words.

He asked Su Rutang to find more raw materials as soon as possible, and closed his eyes before he finished speaking.

Look at the dark circles under Song Huaiyan's eyes.

Su Rutang picked up the blanket next to her and covered Song Huaiyan with it. She asked Song Huaiyan's maid a few questions about Song Huaiyan's journey.

The maid said a few simple words.

He did talk about what happened when he met Xiao Zhijie before he came back.

"The girl said that it was thanks to General Xiao that she met him, otherwise Master Lu Xuan would not have been willing to send so much food."

Su Rutang smiled lightly.

"You girl is a clever one."

She got off the couch and told Chunxi to ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes that Song Huaiyan liked.

He also asked people to find more raw materials for making explosives according to Song Huaiyan's request.

The day after Song Huaiyan returned.

Duke Su and his party returned to the capital, and they moved directly into the Su family. They also sent someone to the palace to tell them.

I heard that Duke Su is back.

Su Rutang hurriedly let him into the palace.

When Duke Su saw Su Rutang, he hurriedly wanted to kneel down, but Su Rutang held him back.

"Grandfather. Never."

"My lady, etiquette cannot be abolished."

Duke Su had a head full of silver hair, and looked much older than before. "Since your grandmother learned that your great uncle and his wife had passed away, she has been unable to get out of bed."

"He has been ill for quite some time, and his mind has been confused. He always said that your great uncle was only six years old."

Su Rutang burst into tears.

She knelt in front of Duke Su, "Grandfather. It's my fault."

If it weren't for her rebirth, perhaps my uncle and his wife would have lived ten more years like before.

"I am sorry for them."

Duke Su shook his head, "Silly child. It's not your fault. If your uncle and aunt knew you were thinking this way, they would certainly not want to do it."

Su Rutang told the story that Concubine Yun of Nanliguo was her mother.

"If my grandfather knew about this, he would be heartbroken."

"Perhaps your grandfather had already noticed it. In fact, we all knew that your father's death was suspicious. How come he suddenly encountered robbers?" Duke Su had a hunched back.

Two sons, both dead.

No one will be in high spirits.

We talked for a while in the palace.

Duke Su refused Su Rutang's offer to let him serve as an official in the court, saying that he owed his wife too much in his life. Now his wife is mentally ill and can't leave him.

He wanted to take care of her for the rest of his life.

When Su Rutang heard this, his eyes turned redder and redder.

I don't know how many tears I shed.

"Grandfather. I want to go back and see grandma."

"Good. Your grandmother likes you very much." Duke Su looked at Su Rutang kindly, "My child. Grandfather believes that you can lead the Great Zhou out of its predicament, and I also believe that the people of the Great Zhou will be happier than ever before."

The affirmation from his grandfather swept away Su Rutang's tiredness.

She accompanied Duke Su out of the palace.

Go to Su Mansion.

I haven't been to the Su Mansion for a long time and saw the sign of the Su Mansion again.

Su Rutang was filled with emotion.

"Madam." The voice of the maid next to Madam Su came from inside, "Don't fall down."

"Where did Tingwang go?"

Duke Su quickly forced a smile, "Yuan Niang, I'm here. Didn't we agree to play hide-and-seek?"

Duke Su strode in.
