Distressed wife

Chapter 442 Confused (3)
Half an hour later, Zhang Zong walked to the back hall, and when he saw Mu Ziyan standing in the yard thinking, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, obviously standing for a long time, he coughed a few times, and said in a deep voice , "If you stand still, you will be exposed."

Mu Ziyan was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, took out a silk handkerchief from his cuff and gently wiped the perspiration from his forehead, then turned and entered the hall.

Zhang Zong poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "As your elder brother, I must take good care of you. If they find out that I didn't take good care of you, I will probably be torn apart."

"When did Brother Zhang become so funny?" Mu Ziyan joked with a light smile.

"Closer to Zhu is red." Zhang Zong immediately sat down and sipped tea by himself.

After a while, Lady Lu came back first, looked at Mu Ziyan and said, "I left in the morning, and now I'm afraid I've arrived at the next city."

"En." Mu Ziyan nodded in response, "Cousin, this trip is dangerous."

"Tell me." Seeing what Mu Ziyan said, Zhang Zong asked worriedly.

Mu Ziyan continued, "The large influx of refugees in Funan came from Fubei."

"Impossible." Zhang Zong's eyes turned cold, "This Fubei is richer than Funan, how can there be refugees fleeing from Fubei to Funan?"

"This is the strange thing." Mu Ziyan continued, "The emperor ordered my cousin to help me. I'm afraid there is a lot to be said here."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Zong narrowed his eyes, "The emperor wants to take advantage of the government?"

"It's not the emperor." Mu Ziyan shook his head and said, "But he also followed the emperor's wishes."

"The crown prince or the third prince?" Zhang Zong could only think of these two people.

"Funan is a piece of fat. Although it is not as rich as Fubei, it is rich in soil salt." Mu Ziyan said in a low voice.

"Earth nitrate?" Zhang Zong was silent for a moment, "Isn't this earth nitrate used for making fireworks?"

"This soil nitrate is very useful." Mu Ziyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued, "It can produce explosives that are more powerful than gunpowder."

"I remember you once gave the fifth prince two golden bullets, it is said that those things can blow up a house to the ground." Zhang Zong said looking at Mu Ziyan.

"That's right." Mu Ziyan nodded in response, "And soil nitrate can be made into cannons, mines, what's more..."

She sighed faintly, "It seems that the carpenter has completely become Zhong Xuan's person."

"Carpenter?" Zhang Zong whispered, "That family of carpenters?"

"Yes." Mu Ziyan stood up slowly, "Using the mechanism well, coupled with this earth nitrate, it is infinitely powerful and can withstand a million soldiers."

"Could it be the one who can make these?" Zhang Zong's eyes flashed a faint light, and he really couldn't believe it.

"Zhong Xuan." Mu Ziyan said in a low voice, "She is the only one who can make it in this world."

"Who is this woman?" Zhang Zong felt that a concubine who was thrown into the village, how could she have such abilities?
"She?" Mu Ziyan sneered, "She's a very ambitious person, she can willingly become someone else's pawn, and finally become the person who holds the pawn."

"There are such women in this world?" Zhang Zong couldn't help being a little startled, if she really had such abilities, it would be too dangerous.

Mu Ziyan had seen these things in that world, but if she was asked to make them, she would certainly not be able to, and the Leng Hanfeng in the previous life was invincible, but it was helpful for these mines and explosives made of clay, and Only Zhong Xuan can make these things.

Mu Ziyan took a deep breath, "Therefore, Funan is dangerous now."

"Could it be that group of refugees?" Zhang Zong looked up at Mu Ziyan and asked.

"The large influx of refugees will definitely be resettled, or driven to the mountains. These refugees are probably dedicated to digging the soil." Mu Ziyan said lightly.

"But I follow the law, and you are not allowed to mine the soil without permission." Zhang Zong continued, "I think you should give a letter of divorce, so that Lord Muhou can prepare."

"I want to go there in person." Mu Ziyan knew that even if he stopped this time, Zhong Xuan would definitely not let it go, if she hadn't gone there in person, Zhong Xuan's thoughts would have been completely cut off.

"When are you leaving?" Zhang Zong knew that at this juncture, Funan was more dangerous than the matter in Zhonghou's Mansion.

"There is still some time now." Mu Ziyan continued, "There must be some changes in the capital, so wait."

"Okay." Zhang Zong responded with a nod, "Yan'er, why do I think you know a lot?"

"It's just that I'm thinking too much, just being suspicious." Mu Ziyan laughed at himself.

"Modest." Zhang Zong snorted coldly, and then he saw a message from outside that Zhong Xian had arrived.

Mu Ziyan looked at Zhang Zong, "Brother Zhang, it's not convenient for me to meet. You can just ask him what happened at that time and why he let the assassin go. I'll just watch from behind the screen."

"Okay." Zhang Zong nodded in response, and then walked out.

Lady Lu was silent for a moment, then stepped forward, "You girl, you can't rest."

"When all the dust settles, I can live freely." Mu Ziyan said with a smile, "Now let's play with them."

"You." Mrs. Lu raised her hand to pinch her cheek, but she was afraid that the mask on her face would be broken, so she let go, and then pulled her behind the screen.

Zhong Xian looked a little dazed, and when he entered the main hall, he greeted Zhang Zong, then sat at the side, looked up at Zhang Zong, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to ask about what happened last night, Mr. Zhang?"

"The emperor ordered the subordinate officials to thoroughly investigate this matter, so the subordinate officials invited Zhong Shizi to come here, can Zhong Shizi tell the details of the assassination of Lord Zhonghou last night to the subordinate officials?" Zhang Zong has recovered at this moment. With an indifferent look, he asked in a deep voice.

"Last night, I was going back home from work, so I went to pay my respects to my father. I didn't expect to be attacked by an assassin. The assassin's martial arts skills are extremely high." Zhong Xian frowned slightly when he mentioned the assassin, as if recalling the situation at that time. "I fought against him, and within thirty moves, I was defeated. At this moment, another assassin appeared, and I quickly turned around to block it. The first assassin turned and ran away, while the second assassin Hit my father."
