Yuncheng is not too far from Mucheng.
Yao Shu calculated that it would take at least five days for Mubeirong to reach Mucheng, and for her to go to Yuncheng, it would take three days to go back and forth.
"Young mistress, what are we going to Yuncheng for?"
Qiao Sang was called up early in the morning and followed Yao Shu in a daze.
"Look for something."
Yao Shu took out the saltpeter she bought from her pocket and said, "Have you seen this thing?"
Qiao Sang took it and looked at it carefully for a moment: "I've seen it before."
"Eh, is it true?"
Yao Shu originally just asked casually.
"Yes."
Qiao Sang nodded affirmatively: "When I went to play with the young master before, I saw the young master taking this thing."
Could it be that he got it from his mother?
Yao Shu's guess about the explosives was more certain: "I went to Yuncheng to find this thing.
It's called saltpeter and it's very useful."
Qiao Sang didn't understand, but he didn't ask too much.
In fact, Yuncheng was not far away, but the road here was really difficult, with steep slopes and gravel, so it was much slower to get up.
Yao Shu has been sending messages to Mu Beirong, which has become her comfort.
She misses her every day, and only when she sees his caring words can she feel relieved.
Mu Beirong's speed was faster than she expected, and he could reach Mu City in about three or four days.
In the letter, Yao Shu also told him about the Xiao family.
Mu Beirong told her more detailed information.
The reason why the Xiao family was protected from the impact was actually because of a woman.
She was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, her name was Xiao Mei.
She was favored by Emperor Rongli and entered the palace to have sex.
Concubine, but it seems that she died not long after.
No one knows what the inside story is, but Emperor Rongli may have been very lenient to the Xiao family because of her, and Xiao Mei was still a good friend of Mubei Rongniang.
Yao Shu just listened to this matter, but she didn't know that all this was closely related to her.
Because Mu Beirong traveled quickly, Yao Shu also speeded up.
After a day and a half, they arrived at Yuncheng.
Yuncheng was not very wealthy.
Although it was surrounded by mountains like Mucheng, it was far less prosperous than Mucheng.
Yao Shu and Qiao Sang first found a place to rest.
While eating, he started talking to the waiter in the restaurant: "Waiter, do you know this thing?"
Qiao Sang took out the saltpeter and asked.
The waiter was very enthusiastic when he accepted the silver reward, but Saltpeter took a look at it and said, "Sir, we have so many of these things here.
Why are you asking about this?"
Qiao Sang said casually: "It's like this.
We bought it from a vendor outside.
We thought it was beautiful and rare.
I heard about this area, so we came to try our luck.
Maybe we can make some money."
The waiter poured tea for the two of them and shook his head in disapproval: "Sir, this thing is not rare.
You can't eat or drink it.
It's just for fun.
You do look good here, but it's natural.

There are very few shaped stones, that is, if someone is lucky enough to pick up one or two, it is not cost-effective to do business.”
Qiao Sang said: "So that's it.
Hey, it seems that I thought too simply.
Second brother, can you tell me where it is?
We can't go so far away in vain.
We want to try our luck." " The waiter pointed eastward: "There is the most terrifying ghost mountain in the east."
"Ghost Mountain" Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow: "Why is it called Ghost Mountain?
Is there a ghost?"
"That's not the case."
The waiter explained with a smile: "Because the mountain would spit out fire strangely every once in a while and even hurt people, but usually nothing happened, so everyone called it Ghost Mountain.
Now there is no connection at the foot of the mountain.
There is no one here, so you two guests must be careful when you go."
Yaoshu's eyes lit up, that's right.
It seems that her escape was not in vain.
If she is lucky, she might even be able to find sulfur.
Ancient people couldn't detect the laws and movements of the earth's crust, so they naturally didn't understand it.
That's why there was so little saltpeter.
I'm afraid not many people dared to get close there.
"Thank you, second brother, we will be careful."
Qiao Sang sent the waiter away before asking Yao Shu: "Young mistress, it seems that this ghost mountain is not safe.
Is this thing important?"
"It's very important."
Yao Shu didn't want to rely on modern things to do anything, but she understood that being strong was a must.
She could not harm others, but she had to make preparations.
She also has people to protect.
If there really is a day of war, this may be able to protect the people she likes.
She is not naive, nor does she think these weapons are evil, because if there is a war, people will die, even if there is no explosives , will also kill people On the contrary, with explosives, there would be fewer deaths.
Of course, she hoped that it would be best not to have a chance to use them.
"Then I'll go."
Qiao Sang was still worried: "Anyway, the young mistress wants this thing, right?
I'll go take a look first.
If there are a lot, I'll send someone back to Mucheng to transport it back."
"I have to go there.
There are still some things that I need to confirm in person."
Yao Shu saw that Qiao Sang still looked uneasy: "It doesn't matter, volcanic eruptions should be regular.
We can find out how long it will take to erupt. once."
"Volcano" Qiao Sang paused: "Isn't it a ghost mountain?"
"Isn't a fire-spewing mountain a volcano?"
Yao Shu smiled: "Hurry up and eat quickly, speed up, Beirong is almost at Mucheng."
Qiao Sang paused with his chopsticks and nodded, his slightly lowered eyes hiding the sadness in his eyes.
He was always thinking about something, always because of the young mistress's pleasant appearance, he would be looking forward to it more and more in his heart.
This is obviously very valuable, isn't it?
After spending so many days together, it is enough for him.
The young master and her only have eyes for each other.
He can clearly see their feelings.

He can see her efforts for the young master, her sadness for him, and her concern for him.
He knew that no one would have a higher status in her heart than the young master.
After all, she was such a woman who dared to love and hate.
For the sake of the young master, she would even disregard the royal family.
Qiao Sang has always been very understanding.
He understands his own feelings and the distance between them.
Therefore, he does not allow himself to be revealed or his feelings to be noticed.
He knew that he could not give her what she wanted.
Only the young master could give her happiness, so whether it was for the young master or for her, he would risk his life to get the Blood Love Flower.
After dinner, Yao Shu went back to her room to rest, while Qiao Sang went out to inquire about Ghost Mountain.
He was very cautious and would not allow Yao Shu to be in any danger in front of him.
Fortunately, after asking many locals, they all said that the volcano will erupt only once every six months, and the last time it erupted was just three months ago.
According to the rules, it should be safe at this time.
A little relieved, he had always been sincere about Yao Shu.
Although he didn't understand what she wanted to do, he also understood that she was not a willful woman.
