My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 221

Mr. Mu is no longer tyrannical, Shen Yuan is no longer a monster, and the relationship between the enemy and us is unexpectedly peaceful and harmonious.

Shen Yuan was holding a writing brush in his hand, writing and drawing on a pile of paper. He was "dictating" the raw material list for thunder bombs to Mr. Mu.

There are lies among the truth, and truth among the lies. Anyway, only she knows it in her heart and is not afraid of being cheated.

Mr. Mu stood behind her and watched intently. Every time she wrote down the name of a material, Mr. Mu mentally compared it with the list of items purchased by the Qin family from major pharmacies and merchants during that period. Compare one by one.

When Shen Yuan wrote the last word, Mr. Mu looked secretly happy: This list seemed to be true in all probability.

Many of the things on the list overlap with what they have investigated. As for the few extra ores, they may be the key to making "thunderbolts".

Mr. Mu's heart was filled with excitement. The teaching had already secretly prepared gunpowder according to the list of materials that had been secretly investigated, but all failed without exception.

This time I have a complete list of materials. Although I still don’t have a manufacturing method, I can try it a few more times and spend more time exploring, and I can always succeed.

If Shen Yuan could know what Mr. Mu was thinking at this moment, he would definitely laugh out loud.

It should be noted that the version of the "material list" that was deliberately circulated was Shen Yuan's masterpiece, and the purpose was to confuse the public.Now she is embellishing it and writing more and more. It will be damned if she can make gunpowder according to this list.

Mr. Mu did not doubt that he was there. He carefully dried the two pieces of rice paper filled with writings, put them into a brocade bag, and hid them in his arms as if he had found a treasure.

Shen Yuan's eyelids twitched slightly at the sight, and she quickly lowered her head to cover up the mockery at the corner of her mouth.

Cui Jianjia was always sitting far away from the bed, as calm as a tree stump. After watching the whole process silently, his face looked thoughtful.

No matter what Shen Yuan handed over to the other party today, she would just pretend that it never happened and that she had never seen it.

After arriving here, Mrs. Qin took care of herself several times, and she should return the favor.

"Mr. Mu, I have already given you what you asked for. Now you should fulfill your promise and let me and the princess go back."

After the transaction was completed, Shen Yuan didn't want to stay for a second longer, lest he would have a long night and dream.

"That's natural. It's just that it's getting late and it's inconvenient to travel. I will send someone to take you back to Beijing early tomorrow morning."

Mr. Mu smiled in an easy-going manner.

Shen Yuan looked at him with a half-smile, "Is Mr. Mu trying to go back on his promise?"

"How dare I! It's just that the mountains here are high, the roads are steep, and the forests are dense. It's easy to get lost. Nowadays, it's windy, cold, and frosty. It's very dangerous to walk at night. I'm thinking about the safety of the two nobles."

Mr. Mu's words were half true and half false, so naturally Shen Yuan and the others would not believe them all.

It's just that the two of them really don't know where they are now and have no way of judging the authenticity. If they are in danger as the other party said, there is really no need to take the risk and travel at night.

If the other party is deceiving them, they just want to scare them to prevent them from wanting to escape, or they want to continue to hold them as hostages so that they can arrange for their own people to evacuate safely.

Shen Yuan and Cui Jianjia looked at each other and reluctantly agreed.

I can't escape, I can't fight, I can only deal with it and get through the night.

"It's getting late. It's time for you two nobles to rest. I'll come back tomorrow morning to chat."

Mr. Mu exited the door with a smile and helped close the door very thoughtfully.When they heard the lock sound coming from outside the door, both of them looked very ugly.

"Princess Princess, why don't we take turns to keep vigil tonight. You will keep vigil for half the night, and I will keep vigil for the rest of the night. This way we can both get some rest and be able to respond in time if there is any trouble."

Seeing that there was no movement outside the house, Shen Yuan said quietly.

Cui Jianjia smiled lightly, "Okay! That's what I meant. Mrs. Qin, please go take a nap first, and I'll take your place when I'm sleepy."

Looking at the other party's calm and elegant eyebrows, Shen Yuan felt something in her heart and said with a smile: "Today you and I are friends of life and death. I am two or three years older than the princess. If you don't mind, please call me "Shen" from now on. Sister."

Shen Yuan really admired Cui Jianjia's character and really wanted to make this friend.

"Thanks to Sister Shen's love, Jian Jia will be disrespectful."

Shen Yuan was overjoyed and said, "That's great, sister Jianjia. We sisters will see each other often in the future."

Cui Jianjia nodded and smiled implicitly, "Then there will be more nagging Sister Shen from now on."

"No nagging, no nagging..." Shen Yuan said happily.

Today is not a bad day. I met a close friend and it suddenly dawned on me.

When she breaks free from the prison tomorrow, she will definitely go back and prepare a meeting gift for her new sister.

Looking at Shen Yuan who looked a little distracted, Cui Jianjia pursed her lips and smiled softly. She didn't expect that Shen's temperament would be so lively in private.

"Sister, sister" was called out, and the relationship between the two suddenly became much closer. Now they were no longer sleepy, so they held hands and started whispering.

At this moment, outside the manor, the night is thick and murderous intentions are everywhere.

The two thousand imperial troops brought by Qin He and Wei Chen were hiding in a dense forest in front of the manor, only 50 meters away from Wei Qionghua's private manor, and were on standby.

Qin He was accompanied by twenty Qin family secret guards all dressed in black. They were responsible for sneaking into the mansion to explore the way.

"Your Majesty, please act according to your plan."

Wei Chen nodded heavily, "Your Majesty, please be more careful."

"Don't worry, Lord Prince, I will definitely bring my wife and Princess back safely."

Qin He solemnly promised, turned around and took the people into the dark night, quickly approaching the manor.

"Cui Daoyi, you guys should go too. Just remember to light two or three places. Don't let the fire spread."

"My subordinate understands!"

Cui Daoyi and another group of people also sneaked into the night and turned into the manor.

Wei Chen stared at the shadowy manor in front of him, with infinite murderous intent surging under his calm face.
