Chapter 146 Gunpowder
"Deputy General Qiu." Shen Qingling looked at Qiu Mo with a serious expression, and asked: "Have you exchanged names with that traveling merchant?"

Qiu Min laughed, shook his head and said, "Second Lady, does this treat me like a baby? How can I exchange names with him at this moment. He asked me several times, and I only said that he was the captain of Beijing, no Mention something else."

Shen Qingling took a deep breath, and then explained the reason why she asked: "Right now I suspect that they have something to do with the pirates in the east sea, if they know that you are the deputy general of General Chuyong Guandan..."

There was silence in the tent.

The two of them didn't actually think of going together.

For example, Shen Qingling, she was wondering if there was a connection between Youshang and Shanqun, whether Qiubai had already learned about this from Shanqun, and what Qiubai was thinking about was whether her general moving eastward was originally a Bureau.

However, regardless of whether they think the same or not, the current cooperation is imperative.

"Tomorrow we will set off as usual. I will use the excuse of being unwell to approach the convoy to see how they will react." Shen Qingling rubbed the space between her brows, and said a little tiredly: "As for Vice General Qiu, please stay still for now. Everything is waiting for my order, okay?"

After all, Qiu Mo is the one in charge, and Shen Qingling's order, of course, must be approved by him.

"Just do as Er Niangzi said." Qiu Min nodded, his face a little dignified, "Now that the murderer who killed the general has not been found yet, another traveling businessman related to pirates has popped up. Let a rough man like me Come to think of it, it’s really difficult.”

This is Qiu Min hiding his clumsiness.

With Qiu Min's ability to lead troops, even if he is not very good at dealing with the world, he is definitely not the rough and difficult man he said.And the reason why he said that was because he still started to doubt Shen Qingling, and wanted to test and test what Shen Qingling would do.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingling handed the cloth back to Qiu Min, and said: "Vice General Qiu, don't worry, since this group of people have taken the lead, they can't hide anymore. People are doing what the sky is watching, but if they do something wrong, they will definitely hide it." There is karma."

"It's late at night." Qiu Yan closed his eyes, got up with a flick of his sleeves, and said gently: "Second Lady, let's rest first, it's late at night, and with Second Lady's current status, I'm the guard, so I don't want to bother you for a long time."

Shen Qingling didn't get up to see him off, she just nodded yes, and told her to be careful.

At dawn the next day, Qiu Mo woke up Shen Qingling and set out on the road with the merchant.Originally, Qiu Mian thought that Youshang had a lot of cars and horses, and that it would slow down his speed when he was marching, but he didn't expect that Youshang's convoy was unambiguous at all, and they marched very cooperatively.

That being the case, Shen Qingling began to be pretentious.

First she lost her temper and refused to ride a horse anymore, and then pestered Qiumi to eat meat, which had to be freshly beaten.

There is no way, the team can only stop.

That Xiangqiumi went hunting in the wilderness, and the traveling merchant wandered around and touched the soldier.

"Where is he from?" Youshang took two tobacco leaves from his pocket and handed them to the soldier, and said, "Look at how powerful you are, are you interested in changing your job?"

Talking like this, even if Qiu Mo comes back to ask, You Shang can still say that he is a talented person.

The soldier had been mentioned by Qiu Mo long ago, so he knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Hedong people."

Tobacco leaf entrance.

Youshang sighed, and asked again: "Brother, you really don't want to change your job? I see that the little lady you are escorting has a temper, did you make a lot of trouble before?"

Having said that, the purpose is actually quite clear.

"Hey!" The soldier sighed, glanced around, and found that Shen Qingling was standing far away, and then continued: "Isn't it? This is the daughter of the prime minister's mansion. Fanqian went out of Yongguan to see her husband."

"Ah, so it's like this..." You Shang was speechless.

The two got together and chatted for a long time, and they reluctantly parted ways until Qiu Bo came back.

Shen Qingling has been sitting on the big rock beside the official road, enjoying the shade under the dead tree.

It seems that she is in a daze, but in fact she has been following You Shang from the corner of her eye.

Although she couldn't hear what the merchant and the soldiers were talking about, it could help her analyze the purpose of the merchant.

especially……

After Qiu Min came back, You Shang turned around and got into the carriage.

It was the carriage in which he carried the gold before.

"The meat is here, Second Lady, please wait a moment." Qiu Mian said to Shen Qingling with a sullen face, carrying two rabbits.

"I'm hungry, let's roast the meat faster." Shen Qingling had a pampered face, raised her feet and said: "It's so hot, I want to change clothes."

Surrounded by wilderness, a few scattered trees could barely provide shade, but they couldn't let Shen Qingling hide in exchange for clothes.

"Second lady, please bear with me, and it won't be too late to change until the next town." Qiu Po ​​raised his voice involuntarily, as if his patience had run out.

Shen Qingling then raised her voice and yelled dissatisfiedly: "I just want to change clothes! Now! Immediately!"

The soldier next to him didn't want them to argue, hesitated for a while, walked over, and suggested in a low voice: "Why don't you ask Brother Zhang to borrow a slightly empty carriage..."

No matter how quiet it is, when Qiu Min looked at the carriage, the merchants at the other end knew what they were talking about.

If you want to say that You Shangtong disagrees, then of course he is not willing to agree, but Shen Qingling made a lot of trouble here, and Qiu Meng's face was really ugly, so in the end he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

However, he chose the last one in the convoy.

Shen Qingling got into the car Shi Shiran, and dawdled in the car for a long time, until Qiu Min roasted the rabbit meat and came to call her, she opened the curtain and got out of the car.

People rely on clothes.

After changing her body and outfit, Shen Qingling's disheveled appearance was no longer there, and everyone was dumbfounded. It took a long time to realize that this was the arrogant and annoying little lady just now.

"Where's the meat?" Shen Qingling ignored other people's eyes, walked straight to Qiu Yu, and asked.

"Second lady, please." Qiu Mian raised his hand with a straight face.

The two seemed to be walking towards the place where the fire was lit, but they were actually exchanging information in whispers.

"I went hunting just now, and there are very neat marks of horseshoes in the valley to the west. It doesn't look like ordinary passers-by can walk out." Qiu Yu coldly handed Shen Qingling a deer leg, and when he spoke, his lips barely moved, "If there is a chance later, I will assign a person to go out and investigate secretly."

Shen Qingling took the leg meat, with a disgusted expression on her face, when she brought the meat to her mouth, she said: "There is a faint smell of gunpowder near the six carriages, the carriage should not be ordinary goods, it is most likely black powder."

Thanks to Shen Qingling's sense of smell is different from ordinary people, otherwise, like Qiu Mo, she wouldn't be able to smell anything when she walked to the side of the carriage.

"Gunpowder?" Qiu Min's expression changed, and he asked almost inaudibly: "Even the general can't get much of this thing, how can they get six carts of black gunpowder?"
