The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 359 From Dancing Girl to General (29)

An ordinary girl from Vaishya suddenly became a general appointed by the queen herself.

This kind of thing that makes a woman fly from a sparrow to a branch and become a phoenix, there should be no second way except for the way of getting married.But it is unbelievable that a girl from a foreign country can do this.

When the news about Lin Shu in the palace spread outside the palace, most of the common people said a few words while chatting.

Only the many soldiers and other generals in the state reacted greatly to the news.

Because of the truth that only women serve men since ancient times, where is the time for women to ride on men's heads and command?
So they quickly elected several generals, and let the latter enter the palace instead of the soldiers of their own country, and confirmed the matter to the queen.

As a result, the queen personally met these generals and told them that everything about Lin Shu was true.

These people immediately turned pale with fright, knelt down and begged the queen to take back her order to make Lin Shu a general.

A general even touched his head to the ground, and complained with tears of blood, "Queen, that Lin Shu is a foreigner, and she must have plots to enter Zhanxi. You must not trust this person! Please take it back! Fate!"

"Yes, queen, Lin Shu has only been in the palace for less than three days, and we don't even know her details, so how can we reuse this person?"

"Queen, please take back your life!"

"I beg you to take back your life!"

Queen Zhanxi, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the generals who were kneeling on the ground in front of her. She didn't say anything for Lin Shu, but stood up directly.

In the huge palace, the clear and sonorous voice of the young queen sounded.

"Since you are all very suspicious that my newly appointed General Lin Shu cannot be reused, then I would like to ask you to go with me to see what this general is doing in the factory I set up for her!"

The queen said as she sat down from the throne and walked towards the exit of the palace.

The generals who fell behind her wanted to stop the queen and tell her that what they suspected was not the woman's ability, but her identity.

After all, with the queen's eyesight, if the other party was really a charlatan and a master of lies, he might have been beheaded as early as the night he entered the palace, and the queen would never teach someone to stay in the palace for two consecutive days.

However, seeing that the queen in front turned her back and walked away, the generals stood still and exchanged glances before following the former to catch up.

The group passed through several garden courtyards in the palace, and came to a large house in a remote corner.

This room is still designed as a dome, with a high top and ventilation around it. After entering, it is still full of light and very bright.

It's just that after entering the house, the generals who followed the queen had no time to care about the design of the building. They were so shocked by the scene before their eyes that they were speechless.

I saw rows of large grinding discs driven by animal power grinding a large amount of unknown taupe powder, and these powders fell along the edge of the grinding disc, and then slid down a sloped pipe into a large stone groove.

There is a heavy stone mallet on the top of the groove, and because there is an unstable weight falling on the other end, it will fall from time to time and hit the powder with inertia, pressing them tightly.

At this time, a few palace slaves who were in charge of watching the embryo took out the thing when they saw the embryo formed, inserted a long lead wire into it, and wrapped it firmly with thick oiled paper. After completion, it was the simplest explosive. packaged.

Other palace slaves were responsible for mixing some unknown colorless and transparent substances into the powder in a certain amount, and then put the mixed things into metal hard cases that were [-] centimeters and [-] centimeters long.

When the opened metal hard shells were put together, all the generals present recognized that this thing seemed to be an enlarged version of a bomb that was only in the hands of the British army.

The original kind of small bomb, one thrown by the British army can kill three or five people.

Once such an enlarged version of the bomb is thrown into the crowd, the number of people who can be killed will definitely double.

If this thing is really that kind of bomb, it will be a terrifying weapon on the battlefield, and it will definitely be a good thing for battle!

Several generals looked at the explosives production plant operating like an assembly line in front of them, and they all couldn't help being curious and wanted to test the power of this thing.

After getting the queen's permission, they only got a few bags of ordinary explosives and went to the barren hills outside the palace to test the power of these things.

Like that kind of large bomb, the queen did not allow them to take it away.

But even so, these big men all left excitedly with explosives.

As for Lin Shu, who was refining nitrocellulose with sulfuric acid and nitric acid in a separate experimental compartment, she had been completely forgotten by these people.

After the group of generals who had entered the palace to find fault left, the queen did not dare to disturb Lin Shu in her laboratory.

Because the latter had clearly told her that the things placed in her laboratory were very dangerous.

When she was working in the laboratory, no outsiders were allowed to come in and disturb her.

Not long after, the queen also quietly left here.

Lin Shu, who continued to stay in the laboratory, was still calculating how to mix the mixture of glycerin, nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid in order to produce a more stable nitroglycerin.

The raw materials she got in her hands were not easy to come by, no more than the simple and easy-to-make black gunpowder outside.

Once you make a mistake, an experimental accident is a trivial matter, but not being able to find the next experimental material is a big deal.

In this way, when Lin Shu was still immersed in her research and development, the generals who got the explosives on the other end and went to the nearby barren hills to test the bombs were all thinking about the power of the explosives after they exploded.

When they sent soldiers to clear a large area, they put a few packs of bombs in the open area, and then everyone retreated far away and hid in a safe place.

At this time, several soldiers shot several ignited flame arrows towards the position where the explosive package was located.

As the tail of the arrow slid through a series of graceful arcs in the air, the next second, when the flame met the explosive package, the sky thundered and the ground fire suddenly, and a rumbling sound resounded in everyone's ears. It even makes people's ears ring.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosion sounds after the explosive package was ignited blasted away a large area of ​​surrounding earth and rock one after another.

The gravel and dirt even flew towards the soldiers who retreated dozens of meters away, shocking them so much that they continued to retreat.

After a long time, the ash from the center of the explosion was still flying and did not fall.

A general with a mustache looked around at the scene ahead.

He vaguely saw a big crater where the bomb exploded, and it was quite deep.

After the smoke and dust cleared and the dust settled, everyone took the courage to pull me and I drag you to the bomb crater for a closer look.

And when they saw the huge deep pit that was blown out in front of them, they all couldn't help but gasped.

A little soldier couldn't help but opened his mouth excitedly, "My darling! This explosive blows up earth and rocks so violently, if it blows up on a person, what's the deal?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he got a chestnut on his head.

The person who hit him on the head was the mustachioed general.

I saw the latter with a straight face, looked around at all the soldiers around and ordered, "We are here today to test the power of the bomb package. After you return to the city, no one is allowed to leak it. Did you hear that?!"

"heard it!"

The soldiers answered in unison.

The mustache general nodded when he heard the words, and sent a veteran to serve as the temporary captain, leading the soldiers back to the camp.

After the soldiers had left, the remaining generals got together.

One of the generals, who was nearly fifty years old, couldn't help admiring first, "The queen really recruited the right person this time. That Lin Shu, because she can make such a powerful thing, even if she does it alone. On the battlefield, that can be worth tens of thousands of soldiers!"

Another person quickly answered, "For such a talent, let's not let her go to the battlefield. Just stay behind and make bombs. On the battlefield, the gun has no eyes. What should I do if I get hurt?"

The mustache general couldn't help laughing and teasing the man, "When we entered the palace earlier, didn't you still kneel on the ground and beg the queen to drive Lin Shu out of the palace? Why are you still worried about getting hurt now? "

The other party glanced at him and said, "One moment and another moment. Let's talk about yourself. Could it be that you have seen the power of the bomb bag, and now you still want our queen to drive people out?"

"That's true."

The mustache general nodded.

But there were other things on his mind.

That is, these generals now have recognized the importance of Lin Shu in their hearts, but the elders of the royal family who are still trying to figure out the root of Lin Shu's background may not give up so easily.

While these people were talking, they walked down the mountain together.

And in a large mansion not far from the foot of the barren mountain, an elder of the royal family who is over seventy years old is living here to spend his days.

When the soldiers were experimenting with explosions in the mountains before, the house and the floor of his place shook slightly, so startled that he thought it was the earth dragon turning over.

Fortunately, the commotion stopped after only a short while.

After confirming that there were no other abnormalities, the elder of the royal family continued to read the letters written to him by the younger generations who stayed in the capital.

These people wrote one thing over and over in their letters.

That is, there was a commoner girl from Vaisya, who somehow won the favor of the queen, and these days made troubles in the palace, making people panic.

An elder found out that this woman named Lin Shu was a dancer in Hanbi City.

How can a person with such a humble status as a dancer be qualified to be his general of Zhan Xibang?
You need to know that in Indy, dance and music are arts that people of any level love and learn, but if someone really makes a career out of it as a dancer.Such a profession, in the eyes of those high-ranking princes and nobles, is also a low-level profession.

And the identity of a dancing girl is naturally despised by these people.

After reading the letters these children wrote to him, the elder with torch-like eyes immediately realized that the little girl named Lin Shu must be in the way of his nephews.

Otherwise, based on the background and status of the other party, those people can solve this person by themselves, so why would they think of writing a letter to ask him to come out?
Knowing these winding royal elders in his heart, he sighed silently.

Although I know that there may be some secret in this matter, these days, after all, the way to behave is to help relatives but not others!
For the sake of those children, let this old man go to the queen with a shy face!

The elder, who made up his mind to enter the palace, got up to take a shower and change clothes.

Before going out, he went to his own temple dedicated to Lord Shiva as usual, and he had to burn incense and pray to the other party first, which was an old habit he had developed over the years.

But what he didn't expect was that when he offered three sticks of the best sandalwood in the incense burner in front of the Shiva statue, the three bright incense heads were actually in front of his eyes. Went out.

The elder was shocked.

Because he knew that it was Lord Shiva who was unwilling to eat his offering this time, he turned off the incense.

But why?Could it be that he offended Lord Shiva somewhere?

Or is it because the other party knew the purpose of his trip, so they deliberately warned him?

Thinking of this, the elder couldn't help hesitating.

So will he go into the city this time?

One day later, in a noble mansion in the capital, the owner of the mansion, who had received a letter from his ancestors, quickly sent someone to gather a group of princes and nobles.

When everyone arrived, he only spoke one word.

"My ancestor wrote in a letter saying that he can't take care of Lin Shu's affairs this time, so you should go your separate ways."

When the others heard this, they were all stunned.

Did this one who dared to call everyone come here just to say such a sentence?
Only a few people who had provoked the incident in the first place felt that something was wrong when they heard this.

This person couldn't help but ask the owner of the house, "Did your ancestors say why they couldn't intervene in this matter? Then Lin Shu was just a commoner with no foundation. All she needed was..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his host.

The other party replied coldly, "The old ancestor said that this is the will of the gods. He can't interfere in this matter, and I can't say anything else. If there are still people who want to trouble Lin Shu, the road to my house It’s definitely not going to work. I’m still saying what I said just now, you guys should go your separate ways.”

The person who spoke was so blocked by him that he wanted to get angry, but he still endured it.

After he left the mansion with the crowd, he hurried back to the palace, and entered the bedroom of the Queen's adopted son Damoda Rao all the way.

When he told his master what happened today, the latter's young and handsome face was already gloomy.

"Since we can't move her position, let's wait for others to do it."

"I'd like to see if she, the female general, can really hold our capital and this Zhanxi state when the British army approaches the city!"
