Jinghong Trading Company appears to sell fireworks, but in reality, it is an explosives manufacturing center.
After all, it was impossible to conduct large-scale experiments on the new type of high explosive developed by Zhao Jing in Yujing.
Otherwise, one mistake could lead to a deafening crash.
That would cause countless innocent casualties.
Therefore, the Crown Prince chose two places: Minzhou and Bazhou.
Both places share certain geographical characteristics: they are mountainous and possess resources such as nitrate mines.
His Highness went to great lengths to manufacture explosives, even leveraging the connections within the Tang Clan.
Tang Kun also welcomed this new Thunderclap Bomb, which would not only enhance the Tang Clan's martial prowess but also bring him a windfall.
The two sides hit it off.
On the surface, Tang Feiyan is just a pampered young lady, but behind the scenes, she is liaising with the Crown Prince on behalf of her grandfather.
Now that such a distinguished guest has arrived, even a grandmaster is pulling his carriage for him.
Such a person is unheard of.
Is it the Crown Prince or His Majesty who has arrived?
Tang Feiyan immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"
"The explosives are ready, but we don't know how to carry them!"
"Simple, take me there."
Zhao Jing came here not only to help the Tang Clan, but also to replenish some explosives and to understand the actual situation.
Bao'er opened the curtain, and Zhao Jing got off the carriage, finally meeting the eldest daughter of the Tang family.
She was nothing like the delicate, pampered young lady he had imagined.
Tang Feiyan has a voluptuous figure, curvaceous and alluring, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
The full, rounded breasts, outlined in the luxurious Shu brocade dress, created an alluring curve.
Especially her fiery red hair, which exudes a vibrant and exuberant life force.
Bao'er, in comparison, seemed much more impoverished, which aroused her hostility.
Tang Feiyan, unaware that she had unintentionally offended Bao'er, quickly replied, "Yes, sir."
Zhao Jing didn't look at her much, but smiled warmly and said, "Miss Tang, there's no need for formalities. Raise your head."
Tang Feiyan looked up and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Your Highness, the Imperial Grandson!"
"Shh!"
Zhao Jing extended his index finger and pressed it against his lips.
Tang Feiyan lowered her voice and asked incredulously, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Jing asked in surprise, "Have we met before?"
Tang Feiyan said with a hint of resentment, "Your Highness, you've forgotten."
"Back when Master Niu was instructing on the production of explosives, I was by your side serving you tea and water, and learning alongside you."
Zhao Jing finally had a vague recollection of such a red-haired girl.
This happened seven years ago.
The Crown Prince said at the time: "Jing'er, a group of people will be coming today to learn about the production of new-style gunpowder."
"This process is complicated, you have to teach them carefully."
"7
"It's not easy for these people to come all this way."
"Yes, Father."
Zhao Jing didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, nitroglycerin is much more troublesome than gunpowder.
Establishing a production line and streamlining the process for this product will take much longer than just one or two years.
So Zhao Jing wrote the relevant content into a book and used the Thousand Illusion Pearl to teach it intermittently for a month.
Because Zhao Jing was young and physically weak at the time, Qian Huanzhu could not stay too far away, so she pretended to listen in from the side.
The Tang family members who were attending the lecture also brought a girl along to broaden her horizons and to have her serve Zhao Jing.
The girl was responsible for serving Zhao Jing, and when she didn't understand something, she would ask a question out of curiosity.
Zhao Jing pretended to listen to the lesson and didn't pay much attention, so he just casually explained it to her.
Unexpectedly, this maid was actually the granddaughter of Sect Leader Tang.
What a coincidence!
But in his memory, the maid should have been a slender little girl.
It doesn't match the surging waves in front of me at all.
Girls change a lot as they grow up; this change is a bit too drastic.
Zhao Jing suddenly realized: "So it's Xiao Hong."
Your Highness, what Little Red!
My name is Tang Feiyan.
Fei is the color crimson, and Yan is the color of fireworks.
Tang Feiyan had clearly told His Highness the Crown Prince her name, but he actually said, "Since your hair is red, you can call me Little Red."
She was still sulking at the time.
Now that they've both grown up, there's a clear difference in their status.
The way you address someone when you were a child can actually bring you closer.
Having experienced the business world, Tang Feiyan was initially embarrassed and annoyed upon hearing Xiao Hong's name, but then felt a strange sense of familiarity: "I am very happy that Your Highness still remembers."
"I didn't expect the Crown Prince to send His Highness—"
She tried to find out the reason why the Crown Prince had mobilized so many troops.
Zhao Jing interrupted, "Little Hong, stop gossiping. Where's the explosives?"
"Your Highness, this way!"
Tang Feiyan instantly regained her capable demeanor and led Zhao Jing into the trading company.
The entire business was a maze of twists and turns, not as simple and unpretentious as it appeared on the surface.
It has three basement levels.
The first and second floors were both neatly arranged with fireworks, and no one could find fault with them.
The most dangerous explosives were placed only on the third floor.
Even if someone discovers something amiss, Tang Feiyan can activate the mechanism and blow everything to smithereens.
To keep the secret, Hongyun Trading Company had already ordered ordinary employees to leave, and those who remained were all key personnel.
Zhao Jing didn't want the news to leak out, so he had the heroes of Bashan guard the perimeter of the Chamber of Commerce, with only Bao'er, Lin Fengxue, and Longlou accompanying him.
Tang Feiyan ordered her men to open the iron door to the third basement level, and then introduced, "Your Highness, the explosives are divided into three batches: thunderbolt bombs, bombs, and spirit stone bombs."
"The first type of thunderbolt is also the hand grenade that Master Niu mentioned."
"The latest version can inflict significant damage on martial artists with flawless bodies."
"Hongyun Trading Company produced a total of three thousand units in trial production, and they are all here."
"Please check this, Your Highness."
The True Essence Realm is divided into five levels: Gathering Essence, Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak.
Zhao Jing opened his dantian and condensed his true essence, which is called "Gathering Essence".
The next step is to unblock the meridians.
Initially, the twelve primary meridians are opened.
In the middle stage, the eight extraordinary meridians are opened.
Later, the meridians throughout the body are opened up.
At the peak of the True Essence Realm, one can lock in all the True Essence in their body, resulting in a body without leaks and a significant increase in physical strength.
The Thunderclap Bombs produced by Tang Feiyan can cause significant damage to those with flawless bodies, indicating that the Tang Clan's improvement plan has greatly enhanced their power.
Zhao Jing picked up a thunderbolt and asked, "Who improved it?"
Tang Feiyan revealed a look of joy: "It is indeed me!"
"In the handwritten notes left by Master Niu in the past, there were several ways to increase the power of the Thunderclap Bomb."
"I tried each one and improved the formula. After hundreds of failures, I finally succeeded in multiplying its lethality."
"Your Highness, rest assured, I have always followed the safety guidelines set by Master Niu and have not caused any injuries or deaths."
No wonder.
I remember who you are now.
Zhao Jing was just wondering why Tang Feiyan, whose status was not low and who could be described as a stunning beauty, was not a stranger to him.
Why is there no activity in the game?
The Bashu Tang Sect is a major storyline, and Zhao Jing has an impression of and knowledge of many of the game characters in it.
Tang Feiyan is the only one whose identity cannot be found.
Now he finally understood: she had actually been mentioned in the game.
That was when Shen Changsheng visited the Tang Clan, and the old man studying the Thunderclap Bomb said with great regret, "If the young lady were still alive, the Tang Clan's Thunderclap Bomb would have reached an even higher level."
"What a pity, what a pity!"
Yes, at the very beginning of the game, Tang Feiyan was unfortunately killed in an explosion while researching thunder bombs.
In other words, Zhao Jing's research into new explosives brought with him chemistry and safety regulations for explosives, which saved her life.
Despite Zhao Jing's numerous inventions and technological advancements, he was unable to influence the top-level changes in martial arts.
Firearms are barely enough to threaten even those born with innate abilities, let alone those born with master abilities.
But he did subtly change the fate of many people.
Lin Qingshan was like this, Tu Su was like this, and Tang Feiyan was like this as well.
Zhao Jing didn't dwell on it, but instead asked further, "What about regular bombs?"
Tang Feiyan then ordered her men to open the other boxes, which contained bundles of explosives.
She said with considerable pride, "These explosive charges, totaling three hundred boxes, each of which could pose a threat to a martial artist at the Innate Realm."
Zhao Jing glanced at them and saw that each box was about the size of a suitcase.
It also contains a large number of iron balls, which can blast a big hole in even a steel plate.
Even if a martial artist with innate martial arts skills like the Golden Bell Shield are not trained and do not use true qi to protect themselves, they are still at risk of being blown up.
"Not bad, anything else?"
Zhao Jing nodded with satisfaction, not expecting Tang Feiyan to have stored so many bombs.
Tang Feiyan said excitedly, "Your Highness, we only made ten boxes of the last spirit stone bombs."
"If they all attack together, even a grandmaster would be injured."
Zhao Jing nodded in satisfaction: "You did a great job."
"I want all of these explosives."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"The fireworks workshop continues production to ensure that a new batch of goods can be supplied every month."
After the Battle of Yujing, Zhao Jing had almost run out of explosives.
Including the landmines buried in the Bashan Mountains, there are none left.
Fortunately, Tang Feiyan was quite capable and got the explosives production line running smoothly.
This will allow him to receive a large amount of replenishment.
With these explosives, Zhao Jing could defeat any number of veteran martial artists, no matter how many they came to deal with.
Explosives, Dragon Tower, Buddhist Pagoda, Lin Fengxue, Bao'er, Destiny Bone.
With these resources combined, killing a grandmaster or two wouldn't be a problem.
Before Tang Feiyan could ask how he managed to take the explosives away, Zhao Jing activated his Sumeru Ring.
Take everything with him, leave nothing behind.
Tang Feiyan's eyes lit up: "So this is the legendary Sumeru Ring!"
"good."
Zhao Jing nodded: "With these explosives, I am confident that I can deal with the Tang Clan's grandmaster."
"ah?
""
Tang Feiyan's expression changed slightly: "Your Highness, I did not intend to kill them. I only wanted to protect my grandfather and, with the help of the Crown Prince's power, subdue them."
"Although they are ambitious, they are still members of the Tang family."
"madness."
"The most ruthless people are those who kill their own family members."
Before Tang Feiyan could express her opinion, Zhao Jing interrupted her on the spot: "You may not know what happened in Yujing."
"They are better informed than you are."
Zhao Jing directly told Tang Feiyan the general details of the Yujing coup.
Tang Feiyan stood there, stunned.
She finally understood why her third and seventh uncles were in such a hurry.
When the imperial court changes its stance, local areas must also undergo dramatic changes.
For local authorities, the most important thing is who represents the imperial court.
Is it the eldest princess, Yuwen Yi, the crown prince, or one of the other princes?
There were no major problems during the reign of Emperor Hongjing.
The imperial court was the Hongjing Emperor.
Now it's different, and the local areas have to adapt.
If the Crown Prince is destroyed in a coup, the Tang Kun faction, which originally supported the Crown Prince, will suffer a blow and will at least have to relinquish power.
Tang Kun fell ill directly, which was related to this.
Zhao Jing smiled faintly: "Sect Leader Tang supports the Crown Prince, and there must be an explanation."
"Your third uncle Tang Qian and seventh uncle Tang Zhen will have to adapt to the changes that are about to happen."
"For example, seeking refuge with the Yuwen family or with the eldest princess."
"They need a pledge of allegiance."
"Perhaps Sect Leader Tang's illness was not an accident."
Zhao Jing deliberately concealed the fact that Sect Leader Tang was faking illness.
The whole incident was portrayed as them preparing to kill Tang Kun in order to curry favor with the princess.
How vicious!
He would have made the same judgment even before Zhao Jing used the Destiny Bone.
"Miss Scarlet Smoke, whose side are you planning to take?"
Tang Feiyan looked up at Zhao Jing and suddenly said, "Your Highness, I will always believe in you."
"The Tang Clan are from the Eastern Palace."
"Third Uncle and the others are not family."
