Chapter 530 Don’t mind if I tell you, gunpowder was invented by me

After sparing his life, there was a simple conversation.

Qin Feng respectfully said, “So it’s General Liao Yuan under Prince Chu’s command. Your reputation precedes you.”

Cang Feilan pulled out the dagger and said curiously, “Do you know him, husband?”

How could he know? It’s just polite conversation, after all, you almost took his life, I need to find a way to ease the tension a bit. Qin Feng coughed dryly and said with a guilty conscience, “General Liao Yuan’s name is well known. Of course I have heard of him.”

Liao Yuan touched his neck, where a faint trace of blood could still be seen on his fingertips. He looked at the heroic woman with narrowed eyes, realising that she had indeed just intended to kill him!

“There’s no need for polite words. The generals and soldiers under Prince Chu’s command don’t have much reputation in the Western Regions. I know this very well.,” Liao Yuan said in a deep voice.

‘General, if you talk with others like this on weekdays, you probably don’t have many friends,’ Qin Feng’s face stiffened as he forced a smile, “General, you are too humble.”

Liao Yuan cut to the chase, “Even though you saved Huilin City, it still doesn’t cover the fact that you hoarded gunpowder, which is a serious crime. I’ll take you to Prince Chu. Of course, I will also explain the situation to Prince Chu, and perhaps your merits and demerits can be balanced.”

Upon hearing this, Cang Feilan frowned slightly and reached for the dagger at her waist.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai also shouted angrily at Liao Yuan, “You will not take my brother away from me!”

Liu Jianli watched quietly, her expression as usual.

But what made Liao Yuan feel most threatened was the indifferent woman dressed in white. His head felt ethereal, as if it could fall off at any moment.

A drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Having seen life and death, Liao Yuan’s palms were already drenched in sweat.

When the people in Huilin City heard this, they were puzzled and denounced him. Some even threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at Liao Yuan.

“When the city was in danger, we didn’t see your presence. Now that the crisis is over, you want to take away our benefactor. What kind of logic is that?”

“Yes, get out of Huilin City, we don’t welcome you!”

“What kind of nonsense is Prince Chu’s army? They just stay in Prince Chu’s city. When have they ever done anything for the people?”

“We won’t let you take away our benefactor!”

“That’s right, get out of here!”

The crowd became more and more agitated, more and more uncontrollable.

Until one person spoke up, “Everyone, stop!”

Seeing who had spoken, everyone put down what they were holding.

Qin Feng brushed the vegetable leaves from his body, then took a clean towel from his pocket and wiped the egg yolk from his face.

Qin Feng smiled, “Let me tell you something, this gunpowder was invented by me. Carrying some of my own inventions with me, isn’t that reasonable?”

The surrounding soldiers looked at him in astonishment when they heard this.

Liao Yuan calmly looked at Qin Feng’s serious expression and said after a long pause, “To be able to use formations, you must undoubtedly belong to the Dao Lineage of Literature.”

“Could it be that scholars are just like you and can talk nonsense?”

“That’s it. I’ve already given you your chance. What you choose to do next is entirely up to you.”

Qin Feng’s face stiffened.

He actually doesn’t trust me?

Isn’t trust the most basic thing between humans?

With haste and diligence, they travelled without incident.

The group soon arrived at the Heavenly City where Prince Chu resided – Mingqi City

Due to the disaster in the western regions, martial law had been declared in all major Heavenly Cities, including Mingqi City. Needless to say, Prince Chu, who was in charge of the Western Regions, was also in Mingqi City at the moment.

Liao Yuan looked into the distance at the heavily guarded city gate and gave a final warning, “Prince Chu has strict rules and will not tolerate your private hoarding of gunpowder. Leaving now is your last chance.”

Qin Feng glanced to the side with a meaningful look, “I have a better impression of you now. You’re not a bad person. Lead the way.”

Liao Yuan furrowed his brow but said nothing. He rode at the head of the group.

With his guidance, the group encountered no obstacles on their way, and soon they arrived at the courtyard where Prince Chu resided.

Qin Feng saw a middle-aged man sitting on a stone chair next to a stone platform, wearing a military robe that exuded authority but not anger.

It was indeed Prince Chu of the Western Regions whom Qin Feng had met during the celebration in the Imperial City!

Prince Chu raised his head and looked at Qin Feng’s group, especially Qin Feng, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Liao Yuan glanced at Qin Feng beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward to explain the situation.

He spoke at length about the efforts of Qin Feng and the others to save the people of Huilin City, but only glossed over the issue of the gunpowder hoarders.

“... Your Excellency Prince Chu, although this person hoarded gunpowder, he used it to save the people of Huilin City. Perhaps he can make amends for his actions. I hope Your Excellency can forgive him.”

Prince Chu looked at Liao Yuan with a half-smile, “Since when does my General Liao start pleading for others? Quite interesting. But do you know who these people are?”

Liao Yuan was taken aback and shook his head, “The subordinate only knows that this person’s surname is Qin, nothing else.”
