"Yes, Not Bad."

Xiao Yunxi tasted it and was immediately amazed by the taste of the bowl of sweet tofu. She asked Xiao Qing'er to taste it too, and then said: "Qing'er, whoever gave these things, did you tell me how the tofu is made?"

of?"

After Xiao Qing'er took a bite, she looked a little confused. The taste was just average. Isn't it as delicious as the empress showed?

What she didn't know was that Xiao Yunxi ate with different emotions than hers.

"I heard it's soybeans," Xiao Qing'er said.

"Soybeans?" Xiao Yunxi was stunned. She had also seen soybeans before: "How can soybeans be made like this? They are so white..."

"I don't know." Xiao Qing'er shook her head.

Xiao Yunxi pursed her lips, scooped up another spoonful of tofu and ate it into her mouth. As the sweetness and aroma of tofu were released in her mouth, her longing for Chen Mo became more intense, and her legs felt inexplicably.

The clamping is a little tighter.

Xiao Qing stood aside and said nothing.

But Xiao Yunxi was thinking about how to get out of the palace.

You know, the concubine cannot leave the palace at will.

Even if Xiao Yunxi is the queen.

The usual way to leave the palace is to follow the emperor out of the palace, to escape the summer heat, to offer sacrifices, etc.

Even if you are alone, it is not allowed.

There is also the option of going out of the palace to visit family members, or when family members are sick...

However, Xiao Yunxi had already used this method last time.

"Alas..." Xiao Yunxi looked out the window and sighed.

However, she didn't know that the opportunity would come so soon.

...

Two days later.

The forty-seventh day of the great turmoil.

Several bad news happened one after another in Bianliang.

Two first-level masters who were sent to Jizhou and Xishu to suppress the unrest died one after another.

Southwest is in emergency.

However, Da Sima suddenly fell ill at this time. Zhao Ji sent many doctors to check. The news came back that Xiao Yunqi was seriously ill and his life was hanging by a thread.

It is said that an assassin infiltrated the Xiao Mansion the day before yesterday. From that day on, Xiao Yunqi reported illness and closed the door to thank guests.

Upon hearing the news, the officials standing in Xiao Yunqi's faction suddenly became panicked.

At this time, King Yan sent an envoy to Beijing.

You must know that vassal kings from various places cannot enter the capital privately without the emperor's edict.

Although he was just an envoy sent, he still attracted everyone's attention.

You must know that King Yan is not an ordinary vassal king. In terms of ability and strength, he is stronger than Zhao Ji. Unfortunately, he is not born to the Queen Mother, nor is he the eldest son, so the throne is naturally not destined for him.

But to the ministers, Zhao Jiang was always staring at the dragon chair in the Golden Palace.

...

Chen Mansion.

When Yi Yao learned that Xiao Yunqi was critically ill, everyone looked in disbelief.

He is a first-class warrior who can live for more than two hundred years. Now he is not even 70 years old and he is critically ill. If he tells it, no one will believe him.

However, there are also rumors that it was caused by the assassin who sneaked into Xiao Mansion the day before yesterday. Xiao Yunqi was accidentally injured by the assassin and was poisoned, and there was no cure, which led to what happened now.

Xiao Yunqi's strength ranks among the top ten among many first-level warriors. Moreover, it is not on the battlefield, where it is easy to dodge hidden arrows and so on. At home, even if he is assassinated, it is impossible to hurt Xiao Yunqi.

So simple.

Yi Yao always felt that this matter was weird.

Although she had no good impression of Xiao Yunqi and even had some hatred for him.

But she still hopes that Xiao Yunqi will be well.

Because in her opinion, the Xiao family is Chen Mo's backer. If the Xiao family falls, Chen Mo's status as a "fake eunuch" will not end well sooner or later.

"No, this matter must be told to the master as soon as possible."

"Come here." Yi Yao shouted outside the house.

"Madam." A maid came in.

"Where is the master?" Yi Yao asked.

"I heard that General Gao is back. The master is hosting a banquet to celebrate General Gao at the Hongfu Restaurant in the south of the city." the maid said.

"Go and tell the master quickly. If I have anything important to do, please come to him." Yi Yao said.

"promise."

...

Chen Mo was not at Hongfu Restaurant in the south of the city.

Holding a banquet is fake, but testing fire bombs in the suburbs is real.

In a mountain forest more than ten miles away from Bianliang City.

Outside the mountain forest, the Fire Qilin Legion has surrounded them, and they are heavily guarded. Not even a bird can fly in.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was an explosion in the forest, and a pine tree about twenty centimeters in diameter fell down.

A group of people hurried over to check.

The cupping bomb was buried at the bottom of the pine tree. The pine tree was blown down from the bottom, and a piece of it was blown off. A hole as big as a bucket was also blasted on the ground.

Some generals took a breath of cold air. If the bomb exploded next to them, they would be dead by now.

This power is indeed good, but Chen Mo checked the killing range.

He found a hole the size of a finger in a big tree two meters away. An iron tree the size of a soybean was only embedded in it for about ten centimeters.

He had taken apart the fire bomb and looked at it before. In addition to mixed gunpowder, there were also some iron balls the size of soybeans.

After the fire bomb explodes, these iron balls fly out with the impact, causing lethality.

As for acquired warriors, their physical bodies are not much stronger than ordinary people. They are also mortal bodies and cannot withstand these flying iron balls at all.

Imagine, if this cup bomb exploded on the battlefield, the destructive power would be absolutely astonishing.

Moreover, its movement can startle the cavalrymen and cause them to flip over.

Chen Mo wanted to feel it more intuitively, so he asked someone to bring a thick rope and tie a cupping bomb to the tree at the same height as Chen Mo's waist.

Then Chen Mo stood next to the cup bomb, less than ten centimeters away.

Gao Zheng's eyes suddenly widened: "Sir, what do you want?"

"You guys, go back quickly." Chen Mo asked Gao Zheng and the others to go back.

"Sir, it's dangerous, you don't have to try it yourself..."

Gao Zheng guessed that Chen Mo wanted to blow up a living person to see the effect, but there was no need to try it himself. He could just drag a death row inmate from prison.

Anyway, the people there are cheap, so you can try whatever you want.

"Retreat." Chen Mo mobilized his true energy to form a protective shield outside his body. This was the protective shield formed by his first rank.

Then he suppressed the strength of the third level, and condensed it into a third level protective shield outside the first level protective shield. He also wanted to try to see if this cupping bomb could have a certain impact on the innate warriors.

Seeing that Chen Mo had already made up his mind, Gao Zheng and the others had no choice but to step back.

Chen Mo snapped his fingers, and the fuse of the cup bomb immediately ignited.

When Gao Zheng and the others saw this, they hurriedly hid behind the tree.

Chen Mo activated his ancient eyes, and after about three breaths, he clearly saw the moment when the cup bomb exploded.

The iron can outside instantly expanded outwards, and then exploded. The broken iron sheet and the iron balls inside spattered on the protective cover where the third-grade true energy was condensed.
