The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Chapter 228 Only one year left in current account

"Cough cough cough..."

A burst of faint coughs suddenly rang out in the Anxiang Pavilion.

"Manager Feng, I feel like your cough has gotten worse recently. Have you seen a doctor?"

Su Lejin frowned and looked at Feng Nong Yue, who had been covering her mouth and coughing intermittently since she entered the store.

After taking a sip of tea to relieve the cough, Feng Nongyue smiled and waved her hand, "It's nothing, it's just an old problem."

Yeah, it's an old problem.

Feeling his body growing weaker day by day, Feng Nong Yue knew that he would not live long.

This year marks the ninth year since she and her sisters left Xingchunlou, and there is only one year left before the ten-year living period mentioned by Doctor Qin.

She only has one year to live, and it seems that she will not see His Majesty's army capture the imperial city of Yu State, nor will she see the brothels here disbanded.

She can't even go back to see her sisters whom she hasn't seen for years. But it doesn't matter. As long as her body can be brought back, it will be considered a return to her hometown.

Although she had regrets, she never regretted it.

Seeing the deep worry in Su Lejin's eyes, Feng Nongyue took the initiative to change the subject, "Miss Su, what do you think of this new product?"

Su Lejin was stunned for a moment, then realized that Feng Nongyue didn't want to continue discussing her illness, so he followed her lead and said, "I like it very much. How much is it?"

"Since Miss Su is an old customer of our store, I'll give you a discount. One box costs five taels of silver." Feng Nong Yue said with a smile.

"Okay, sure, but I'm going to give it a try."

"Naturally."

As he spoke, Feng Nong Yue took the box of lip balm and led her into the inner room.

As soon as the door closed, the expression on Su Lejin's face instantly faded. She looked at Feng Nongyue standing behind her and asked worriedly, "Is everything really okay? Why don't we go take a look?"

"Don't worry, even if I die, I will definitely fulfill what I promised you."

"I did not mean that."

"I know. I just want you to understand that our country has always been committed to its promises. I have already informed His Majesty of your situation. Once His Majesty captures the Imperial City, you will be able to avenge your sister. Even if I am no longer alive by then, you will still have your wish fulfilled."

After years of being together, how could there be no feelings? Seeing Feng Nong Yue say this, Su Lejin's eyes gradually turned red.

When she was about to speak again, Feng Nong Yue stopped her, "Don't talk now, let me try on your makeup."

After a while, "What do you think of this color?"

Looking at her own gorgeous red lips in the mirror, Su Lejin nodded, "It looks great."

Su Lejin touched his lips, put away other thoughts, and started talking about business.

She lowered her voice, "Manager Feng, I heard from Lord Li a few days ago that their Ministry of War has developed some new weapons, which seem to be related to arrows and crossbows. You should tell His Majesty and the others to be careful."

At this critical moment concerning the rise and fall of the country, it still did not prevent the ministers from eating, drinking and having fun.

While the soldiers were fighting bloody battles in the front, these people were living a life of drunkenness and debauchery in the rear.

Feng Nongyue frowned, looking serious, "Okay, I understand."

She came here today for this matter. Now that it has been completed, she should leave. Otherwise, if she stays too long, it will arouse the suspicion of the pimp waiting outside.

"Then I'll leave first."

"it is good."

The performance naturally had to be done thoroughly. After Su Lejin came out, he looked very satisfied and said, "I really like this lip balm. Wrap it up for me."

Feng Nongyue wrapped the lip balm and handed it to her, "Miss Su, take it. You are welcome to come again next time."

Su Lejin took the lip balm, paid the money, turned around and left with the turtle man.

On the other side, Yun Zhi was looking at the thunder bomb that she had developed.

It was only now that she saw what this thing looked like. She had to admit that Li Wenyan was really good at developing weapons.

After successfully developing it, he also improved several versions.

There are smaller ones that you can hold in your hand and carry with you, and then throw them away when you need them.

There are also very large ones that can only be thrown by catapults, but their power is much greater than that of the portable thunder bomb.

If a few more missiles were thrown, the city gates could be blown open. There would be no need for the soldiers to risk their lives to attack the city.

This thing is indeed useful, but there are not enough of them to blast all the way through.

But combined with tactics, it is indeed enough.

Generals such as Chen Yuanshu watched Yun Zhi tossing the thunder bomb back and forth in his hand. Their hearts beat with every toss.

Yesterday they had learned about the power of this thing from the soldiers who had learned how to use it, and now they were afraid that His Majesty would accidentally use it to play with it.

Seeing the nervousness in the eyes of the generals around him, Yun Zhi stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's the situation on the other side now?"

Chen Yuanshu stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, according to spies, the coalition forces have retreated to the rear city and are resting and regrouping their forces in the hope of avenging their previous defeat."

Hearing this, Yun Zhi smiled and said, "Do you want to see how powerful this thing is?"

The generals looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement.

They had only heard of its great power, but had never seen how powerful it was.

Not long after Yun Zhi finished speaking, Chen Yuanshu immediately responded, "Your Majesty, we are eager to witness his power!"

Yun Zhi said loudly, "Okay, then follow me out of the city and give it a try!"

As for how to test it, the generals smiled knowingly.
