The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 1027 Sulfur!

It was noon and the sun was shining warmly.

It takes time to excavate the mountain, so Qin Yun simply accompanied Yue Nu for a stroll on the top of the mountain. She was very happy, with a happy smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she gradually became cheerful.

"Hey, there's actually a flower here."

Qin Yun was surprised. He picked it from a crevice in the mountain. It was light red in color, delicate and not vulgar, but he didn't know its name.

"It's very beautiful, but it's a pity that it was picked by His Majesty." Yue Nu teased.

Qin Yun didn't care and inserted the flower into her hair.

Suddenly, the cool and pretty Yue Nu was sublimated and became extremely stunning, like a peach, making people want to have a kiss on her.

"Which flower is prettier than others?!" His serious comment made Yue Nu blush.

"But..." He suddenly frowned.

Yue Nu looked up: "But what?"

She touched her cheek nervously, not confident enough. She knew Qin Yun liked fair-skinned women, but she had had wheat-colored skin since she was a child.

"But why does it have a pungent smell?" Qin Yun frowned.

Yue Nu quickly smelled the clothes.

Qin Yun looked at the crevice with suspicion at this moment. He always felt that this smell was very familiar.

"sulfur!"

He was struck by lightning, cried out in surprise, and rushed towards the mountain, trying to open it up and take a look.

Everyone was startled and looked over.

Qin Yun ignored his dignity and dug hard in the crack in the ground, and finally dug out a yellow object that had been frozen.

The smell is quite pungent.

Qin Yun sniffed hard, and then his facial expression changed suddenly.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? What happened?" Yue Nu asked with a puzzled look on her face, her pretty face even a little stiff. Could this yellow stuff be some kind of bird droppings?

“This is sulfur!”

Qin Yun suddenly exclaimed again, his expression out of control, and he almost jumped up.

"Hahahaha, I came out to check the ore and I actually ran into this!"

The most basic gunpowder is composed of charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter!

Qin Yun had asked Jin Zhu and Xuan Yunzi a long time ago whether they could make these things, but they seemed to have never heard of them and did not know how to make them.

Qin Yun himself didn't quite understand the principles of making sulfur, so he gave up on this matter for a while.

Until today, he saw sulfur!

At this moment, Long Xiao and others had gathered around, looking at Qin Yun with questions on their faces.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Qin Yun suppressed his ecstasy and tried to calm down.

He clenched his fist and said, "No, this definitely couldn't have been formed naturally. Someone must have made it and put it here!"

"Who could it be? Who could it be?"

Yue Nu looked at the crack in the ground, frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This crack in the ground seems a bit like a snake hole. Could it be that the snake gall bladder broke and dried up like this?"

Her unintentional words woke Qin Yun up.

Qin Yun looked over with excitement: "Yes! Sulfur can also repel snakes!"

"Someone must have dumped the sulfur here to guard against poisonous snakes!"

He looked around: "Who usually comes here?"

Seeing how excited he was, Long Xiao and the others became a little serious.

"Your Majesty, hunters from nearby occasionally come here to hunt. It is unlikely that anyone else would come here except the hunters."

He yelled directly: "Check it for me immediately!"

"Master Feng, mobilize all the Jinyiwei, and quickly go down the mountain to conduct a carpet search around Laoshan to see which hunter has this yellow snake-repellent powder!"

“Make sure to find out!”

The voice is excited and urgent!

This made everyone confused, but also made them serious. His Majesty would not do something without a purpose. This thing was probably very important.

"Yes!"

"I will do it myself right away." Old Feng replied, and quickly disappeared with his men.

At this moment, Qin Yun was still rubbing his hands excitedly. As long as he found the person who made sulfur, there would be hope for gunpowder!

As long as there is hope for gunpowder, the Turks will be nothing!

Incendiary bombs can be eliminated directly, and shotguns can be replaced with cannons!

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Yue Nu asked curiously.

"Hahaha!" Qin Yun laughed, hugged her and kissed her in public, making her pink lips sparkle.

Although Yue Nu's current identity has long been no secret in Xiliang.

But when Long Xiao and others saw it, they were still slightly surprised, and turned around, thinking that this was His Majesty's true character!

Yue Nu's face was red as blood at this moment, and her cold eyes stared at Qin Yun.

If we were a little more unrestrained in the bedroom, she would have given in. But now we are kissing in public...!

Qin Yun seemed not to notice her dissatisfied look and excitedly held her shoulders.

"Yue Nu, you will understand later. It is difficult for me to explain it to you now, but by walking with you, I may have accidentally found a way for Da Xia to be immortal!"

Everyone was shocked, their eyes widened. A way to make Daxia immortal?

Yue Nu looked unconvinced and said, "Your Majesty, is this just a little bit of yellow powder?"

"Hehe, this is an important component. There are others, but sulfur is the most difficult to deal with." Qin Yun smiled like a child. He hadn't been so happy in a long time.

Seeing this, Yue Nu couldn't help but smile a little, like a blooming snow lotus.

"All right!"

"Everyone keep digging!"

"Sulfur cannot be exchanged for silver. Mining ore and rare earths is a major way out for Xiliang now. You all should hurry up!"

After Qin Yun's ecstasy, he regained his seriousness and spoke in a deep voice.

Gunpowder is the important thing.

But finding a way to get money so that Xiliang can recover quickly is also a top priority!

"Yes!"

Everyone roared, and even Long Xiao joined in the excavation.

Under Qin Yun's command, the soldiers were full of energy. They took hammers and kept hitting the mountain walls, or used hoes to dig the ground.

The sounds of bang, bang, bang and clang were heard continuously.

Qin Yun let out a long breath, and his mood immediately improved a lot. He prayed secretly that he must find the person who made sulfur!

Time passes minute by minute.

The sun was setting and the temperature was dropping.

A thousand people excavated here and indeed discovered some qinggang stone and even jadeite, which are very valuable.

But the quantity is very limited, and not proportional to the time and manpower invested.

Finally, seeing that it was getting dark, Qin Yun had no choice but to leave two hundred people here to guard the place, and then he led the large army back to Tianlang City to make plans.

After a day of running around, even an expert like Yue Nu felt a little tired.

But Qin Yun was full of energy and high morale.

Although not much has been excavated today, at least there is something. In this era, there is no industry, no deforestation, the sky is blue, and the water is clear.

These deep mountains are full of treasures! There are a lot of minerals and jade!

Before Qin Yun mobilized the army to carry out large-scale excavation, he wanted to narrow the scope as much as possible and reduce the time cost.

So, late at night he sent out a conscription order from the Empress' Palace!

It was announced that in order to strengthen the city walls, special stones were needed, and some experts from the public were recruited to examine the stones.

Afterwards, Qin Yun sat in the brightly lit Empress' Palace, waiting for Feng Lao's return.

But after waiting for a long time, Old Feng still didn't come back. Perhaps the search area for the owner of sulfur was too large and the Jinyiwei could not complete it within one day.
